#making a tag for this stuff in case i'll make more... idk honestly

[cardo-de-comer]

"Alternate 15th century. Young Imri is one of the few knights in the royal service, who gets their own angel and devil. The king is killed in a strange accident, and Imri and his companions must investigate his death, where everyone has a different opinion on the matter."

i love making fanart for games that don't exist. At least i have their models :_)

[krysmcscience]

At long last: either an alternate explanation for or continuation of my prior comic regarding how Bill was ABSOLUTELY naked in Ford's karaoke night drawing. (Because errors in art do not exist. Artists do not make mistakes. So if you see any in this comic, No You Do Not.)

I am so normal about these old dorks.

I'm not really clear on exactly when Bill started throwing his desperation book at Ford just like a needy ex do, but I find it extremely funny to imagine it happening literally the day of or after the makeshift funeral. Bill just gets this weird sense of 'Ford is taking steps to move on' and CANNOT FUCKING ABIDE.

I hope you enjoy all the goofy things I added to each page of Bill's sad spieling. (Everything SHOULD be readable so long as you view the full size, but I have added basically this whole little fanfic in the image descriptions, LMAO, which lays out all the little written notes and such.) Also don't ask how Bill managed to sneak that vampire pen in there. I have no idea, and honestly? I don't wanna know.

Oh, and a little bonus comic:

Of course Bill would take it as flirting. Because between the two of them, Bill is the bigger masochist By Far. :)

Also I have continued applying The Good Place logic to any of Bill's attempts to swear. Case in point, one last bonus image, this time with a motivational line from my slapdash Theraprism OC, EV-01:

Yes, its name is just 'love' backwards. No, I will not be taking any feedback on this. Yes, EV-01 was only ever assigned to Bill's case due to the Theraprism being desperate to make some progress in rehabilitating him. No, it did not work anywhere close to staff's expectations - Bill didn't even appreciate EV-01's matching fondness for bowties! (He claimed the fondness to be "cultural appropriation" and insisted he'd been traumatized by it.)

Anyway, if you like my stuff, reblogs are very much appreciated, and if you really really like it, perhaps consider my commissions or yeeting a teeny tiny tip my way? I am trying to recoup over 500 dollars in vet bills, ahaha... 🙃

In other news, I loved all the fun tags people added to the prior naked-karaoke comic (such as 'the hat and bow-tie stay ON during sex' and the classic '[insert keysmash here]', as well as the many amused/bewildered remarks about how I either made the bricks a piece of clothing or just straight up peeled Bill's skin off). However, I think my favorite thing by far was the several people losing their shit over the fact that I gave Bill toes. Like, excuse me? The magical talking triangle can have fingers but not toes??? Since when was that a rule????? 🤣 (Also the one person who reblogged with the cropped panel where Bill's fishnets pants are falling off to ask why Bill peed himself. Dude, I want to examine your brain...?)

Okie-dokie, I'm sick of looking at all of this stuff now and I'm off to go to work, after which I will either scribble some more goofy "Billford" comics or perhaps draw my lame human!Bill in Situations, idk yet. Maybe I'll even finally draw more than just a single other person's human!Bill...? Who knows, but I sure hope I can mix it up a little and not turn whatever I draw into a month-long fukken project. >:\

aw, man. i actually don't like conflict or negativity, and i hate that some ppl seem determined to pit the couples against each other in the first place, but i've seen/read two things in particular today that have got my hackles up (the poll being one) so i'm gonna say it: i don't think i've seen a single post that enthuses about kb at the expense of fs (maybe one anon but that's bout it), whereas the number of times scrolling through the tag i've seen ppl feel the need to crow about how much more invested they are in fs, how fs are carrying the show, etc. - yes, we all vibe with different characters/dynamics and that's fine - vibe away! nay, enthuse away! but, shocker, you can actually do that without invoking your lack of interest in kb (which, frankly, is your loss!). and, since i'm being blunt, there are, imo, two fairly obvious main reasons for the scale of the disparity (so beyond general variation in taste), and neither are particularly flattering for those in question, so i'm not gonna say them out loud! and that's because i recognise some things you can just keep to yourself, and that way everyone gets to have a good time! sorry to be bitchy, but when stuff like that is in the general tag it's hard to avoid, and even though i know i should just brush it off (cos everyone's entitled to their wrong opinions!), it gets me down nonetheless.

yeah, i'll never understand the need to pit them against each other for one reason or the other tbh. like you said, everyone has their own feelings and opinions and sometimes you're just gonna be drawn to one couple over the other, or one character over the other! i know i personally enjoy both fadelstyle and kantbison, and i adore all of our main four characters in their own ways. it's funny cause in the first few episodes, i was sort of flipping back and forth in terms of who i was more invested in, which was honestly a shock to me because while i have enjoyed joongdunk in the past, their shows and characters haven't compelled me in the same ways that firstkhao's have, so i went into thk figuring that they would be the ones to hold my attention the most. and while that did end up being the case, fadel and style have ALSO become beloved to me in their own ways and there was even a period in the beginning of the show where i was MORE invested in them! but kb have definitely captured my attention the most and again, it does just come down to personal taste - i find the layers of their story to be personally more compelling, and i find kant's character specifically to be incredibly fascinating because of the absolute lack of agency he really has in anything he does up until now.

but again, it's all a matter of personal taste. i recognize not everyone is going to view these characters the same way i do or have the same attachment, and that's okay! and it's very odd to me the way that a lot of people who prefer fs will choose to hate on kb or flaunt which one they prefer more. like if you post about the things you love, we'll get the message either way without you needing to bring down the other pair and make others feel bad for enjoying them. i don't think anyone before now has really questioned which couple i prefer, but the only time i ever actually acknowledged that (outside of this ask) was to say that i was SAD fs didn't interest me more because i do genuinely enjoy them as characters, but kb take up so much of my brain that i just can't focus on them as much.

and it's not to say if you wanna be a hater, you can't be a hater, like that's fine. but at the same time idk. people that DO like those things don't wanna see that when they're just trying to enjoy the tag of their fave show, yknow? but that's also why i at least prefer to keep to my dash instead of going into tags, cause i prefer keeping it to those i trust to keep it tasteful than those that will go into main tags and shout their hate for things from the rooftops sjdfsdkj

911 ep 707 first watch reactions

Oh man, I'm actually not sure I have that much to say about this ep.

The entire plot with Mara and her brother Tyson was very sweet, very nice, and way too convenient. One day, shows are going to stop using the phrase, "There must be something you can do!" like it's some secret magic phrase, that makes this sentiment into a reality, AND turns the person addressed into someone willing to risk everything, in order to do that one thing they can do, which is usually something they're very much not supposed to... That said, Denny was sweet, Mara was lovely, her with Tyson was very endearing, and Henren continued to rule.

The storyline with Maddie was nicely handled, both her trauma, and the way Chim helped her use it to figure out the case and help save everyone from the stalker. My little Madney heart absolutely loved it. And Maddie's distress over a baby involved felt very real and understandable, when she's a mom herself now.

But then in a sense, it was clear this has no long term repercussions, other than bringing Brad into contact with Bobby. With his burn scars, and what we know about the fire that Bobby caused in the past, we can guess where this is headed. I trust that 911 will delve into this coming clash with the same humaneness with which it tackles most storylines.

But I'll be honest, I don't really like where Eddie's headed. I know Shannon scarred him deeply, but he was able to let go of her, and allow her to walk away from him twice while she was alive. It's weird if it's now being implied that the reason why he was never able to move on to another serious r/s is that he was stuck on her. The way she died was traumatic and painful, and it made sense that, even accepting that they as a couple were over, he had a hard time dealing with her death, but Eddie seemingly moved on in s4 at the latest. It feels a bit like they don't really know what to do with him, and how to move him on, so they keep going in circles with his character. Kinda like they were with Buck in s6. None of what we saw in that season helped Buck get to some major breakthroughs that we've seen in this one, so this current storyline with Eddie might end in the same way.

I'm not saying it doesn't have the potential to move him forward, and I'm sure it will be presented as if it has whether it actually does or doesn't (kinda like how 618 presented Buck and Natalia as a move forward, even though it very obviously was not), but right now, I'm not enjoying it. I also... even with this idea of having Eddie run into a Shannon look-a-like, I feel they could have gone in a lot of different ways, and the one where he goes on a date with her while having a serious gf he's essentially cheating on, it just doesn't feel great, or true to Eddie's values. Which can be the point, right? That sometimes we're so shaken up, we do stuff that's uncharacteristic. If that's where they'll take it, then it's working, 'coz right now, everything about this feels a little off. Let's hope they do something actually constructive with this, and give Eddie real progress (rather than just give Tim an opportunity to re-use an actress he already said he really likes).

Small mandatory Buddifer moment was really lovely, even if far from what my shipper heart would want. Then again, I honestly feel it's so funny that Buck is dating Tommy, while being married to Eddie, his actual baby daddy. If there aren't a lot of fics shipping all three men already, then IDK fandom.

MUN! Drop how you do the goblin language! And my life is yours! (In all seriousness if you don’t want to thats cool. Im just curious in how you made it)

[OOC]

OH, BOY I'VE BEEN WANTING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME THIS---

Alright, I'll explain some basic stuff and how do I manage this. It'll go under the cut because IT'S A LOT---

First of all, my bases are these [1] [2] [3] [4] pages.

What I do is this: There are A BUNCH of grammatical rules and stuff that... Doesn't really exist on these pages, so I had to create them MYSELF. I do use most of the "canon" words that already exist in these dictionaries (Like some pronouns, meanings and numbers). But, for some other words I have completely changed them. For the sake of making it make sense, cuz otherwise... What the fuck??

I mostly use page #1 to write stuff and if it doesn't have a "canon" word, I shuffle between the little check box (on and off) and decide which "word" sounds better. Sometimes I pick the word with the box checked other times with the word unchecked (And it has its trick because with the box checked, it doesn't give you like "similar words" in case I want to do like "present/past/future/etc" unlike when having the box unchecked... It's pretty confusing to explain like this but the page has info about it lol).... Or I mix them together and then I write down the words in my notes with all their meanings and different variants and implement them on examples to not forget its use.

Sometimes when page #1 doesn't convince me I use page #2 and try to mix it up with page #1.

Page #3 and #4 are mostly to check on canon wording (But I also tend to change some words from there a little so it fits and doesn't collide with the words I already wrote down)

So far, I have already written down pronouns, the verb to-be, numbers and some other stuff. It's pretty much similar to english honestly lol

Tho there are existing pronouns in Goblin, it's also correct to use one's name when talking. So "Ya" can be replaced with one's name and it's also correct to say "[Name]'piir" when trying to say "My ---"

Idk if I'm explaining myself here NABDJSJSKKAK

For example, one of my Tags is literally "Torbek'piir mor" which translates as "Torbek's life" or "My life" since it's "'piir", because it written as if Torbek is saying it ("My life") rather than me point it ("His life").

So basically "Ya'piir mor" and "Torbek'piir mor" means the same!! (My life)

Tho, another thing: Pirr, Per, Mam, Maj, Hii, and Ke can be used alone and have the same meaning, but the correct form is with the pronoun (or name) at the beginning. This also depends on the region tho.

So it's also "correct" (In like.. more ''slang-like'' way??????) to say " 'piir mor " (My life) as well as " Ya'piir mor " or " [Name]'piir mor "!!!

Man... I can go on with this for HOURS because I DO HAVE BUNCH OF STUFF ON THAT NOTES APP---

You can always ask me more specific stuff, and keep dropping my stuff!!

Like "How do you say---" or "What does it mean---" (in case of tags or stuff that I have already written here lol).

Also, I'll leave you with some basic stuff. Just so you can have a bit more of what I already wrote in my Notes app lol

(The same as ownership. It's correct to use "Ya'krii" as well as just " 'krii " or " [Name]'krii")

*"Ta'to" (being "You Are") in a question becomes "To'ta" (being "Are You"). Just like writing in English.

[lovelenivy]

you know what hate crimes md enjoyers, idk if this has been done before but i wanna start like a little tag game: i wanna know your favorite seasons in order, what you think is the best episode each season, your personal favorite ep from each season, any honorable mentions if you have them, and your least favorite/worst episode in your opinion. i'd also like to have you sort the main characters/fellows from favorite to least favorite, plus tell me your favorite ship (and optionally, a ship you enjoy and think is underrated)! feel free to toss in any explanations for why you chose what you did. (: kinda long, but oh well – feel like it'll be fun.

i'll go first (so you can see the format) – listing seasons from the best imo, to the worst, and the episodes.

Seasons:

1. Season 3

Best episode: one day, one room (?)

Favorite episode: merry little christmas

Honorable mention(s): cane and able, words and deeds, family, needle in a haystack

Least favorite episode: que sera sera (?)

it was hard to pick the best bc i'm biased towards merry little christmas, but i don't know if it would be the best of the season exactly. as for que sera sera, nothing really wrong with it but honestly i had a hard time picking a least favorite too. great season – to me it's like the classic house season.

2. Season 5

Best: birthmarks

Favorite: under my skin

Honorable mention(s): the softer side, last resort, both sides now, painless

Least favorite: big baby (?)

i literally just barely remember big baby compared to the rest, i think, no matter how many times i see it. amazing season though, honestly so up there with s3 for me that it became a tough choice.

3. Season 6

Best: help me

Favorite: wilson

HM(s): the down low, broken (part 1 & 2), baggage, lockdown

Least favorite: epic fail, remorse (?)

help me is such an amazing episode, it always makes me cry. epic fail is extremely annoying tho and idk why, like after i watched it more than once or twice i started having a hard time rewatching it. and honestly every time i watch remorse i get pissed off on thirteen's behalf and it's just not a fun feeling. not a bad episode though. i know a lot of people don't like s6 but i love it.

4. Season 2

Best: euphoria (part 1 & 2)

Favorite: no reason

HM(s): skin deep, distractions, hunting, clueless

Least favorite: sleeping dogs lie

i recently rewatched euphoria and it's so fucking good i legitimately cried. sleeping dogs lie isn't a bad episode, it just is frustrating to watch for many reasons. another classic house season.

5. Season 4

Best: house's head/wilson's heart

Favorite: house's head/wilson's heart, 97 seconds

HM(s): mirror mirror, you don't want to know, frozen, living the dream

Least favorite: the right stuff

nothing really wrong with the least favorite – it was honestly a tough choice. also i couldn't pick a favorite, it was so tough. i honestly really like this season despite how short and different it is.

6. Season 1

Best: detox

Favorite: detox

HM(s): three stories, histories, control, mob rules

Least favorite: heavy, everybody lies (pilot)

the pilot being orange just makes me laugh the whole time so it's hard to watch, and chase's insane fatphobia in heavy is just disturbing, which is the only reason it's a least favorite. for the best i was torn between three stories and detox, but i think detox is better. s1 is ranked so low bc of general weirdness.

7. Season 8

Best: the c-word, everybody dies

Favorite: the c-word

HM(s): dead & buried, twenty vicodin, nobody's fault, post mortem

Least favorite: we need the eggs

we need the eggs isn't bad, the case is just ??? weird and kinda sad tbh idk. i haven't rewatched the c-word yet but i remember it fondly, so i couldn't really choose a best episode. is picking the finale kinda dumb? maybe, idk. i like a lot of episodes from season 8 surprisingly, like most of them, but it's so different from the previous seasons with cuddy absent and the late addition of two new main characters that it can't be any higher for me.

8. Season 7

Best: after hours

Favorite: after hours, out of the chute

HM(s): unwritten, bombshells, the dig, moving on, fall from grace

Least Favorite: two stories

god i really can't stand rewatching two stories. idk what it is but the fucking kids that house gets stuck with in the principal's office are so annoying ??? probably my least fave episode in all of house. but despite how s7 is at the bottom, it did have some great episodes. just wasn't my favorite season at all, especially as someone who isn't really into huddy.

Characters:

from favorite to least favorite of the main characters –

1. House (of course)

2. Wilson

3. Thirteen

4. Cuddy

5. Chase

6. Foreman

7. Kutner

8. Cameron

9. Amber

10. Taub

11. Park

12. Adams

13. Masters

favorite ship: hilson (house / wilson)

underrated ship: thirteen / cameron, or chase / foreman

Tags:

anybody that wants to participate! i know it's kind of long so no sweat if you don't want to do it. i'm also indecisive so i had trouble picking episodes lmao

life, unplugged

“We got stuff done when it got done. ... Whole days passed without knowing the time once. By removing time pressure things didn't just grind to a halt and tasks expand to fill the entire day, the tasks got done with greater presence. Things got done with actual care and attention and no rush. I was probably more aware and engaged and present over the past week than I have been for ten years.” —Simon Clark (“Unplugging from the internet”)

I'm tired. I wouldn't necessarily say I was *burning* out because it didn't feel like there was much wood left to burn. I just...need a break. Change gears. Step away from social media...again because something I've noticed over the year I've had this blog is that I've been increasingly affected by FOMO and feeling behind whenever I'm engaging in social media. Even if it seems as if I'm charting a clear path for myself when I do challenges and post semi-regularly, I feel as if my path is less clear. I only regain that clarity when I take extended time away from social media, and I would like to re-learn how to maintain that sense of clarity for longer without soon feeling the urge to either numb myself by scrolling, or put myself on display because apparently my mere existence is not enough for me to feel real in a more cemented way if that makes sense*... This isn't exactly goodbye. I'm probably gonna return to tumblr at some point because I'll miss my moots and all, but I think these extended breaks should become a more regular thing for me.

*perhaps me currently being in that "i wanna make my mark on the world" stage (which sometimes becomes the more toxic "prove my existence was worth it" stage) is bleeding into everything i do...honestly, idk how to go about it, how to deal with it, whether i should scrap it. would not be surprised if many years down the road, i realize that i've been going about this whole thing wrong... but some things we only learn through experience. 🤷🏻‍♀️

not me linking my intro post here in case i feel like resurrecting it in the future bc i hate searching through my blog tags 😭

[skaruresonic]

I dont think its healthy to paint every person who likes Sonic idw or is a fan of idw as someone who bullies you or is part of the same group that bullies you and friends. Because you know that's not the case. You and crusher never deserve to deal with harassement. Fuck those bullies. You both deserve better.

But everyone can tell you dont call out other people for saying horrible things to other people who didn't bully anyone at all but just like idk, like Ian flynn ? It makes it look like you only think bullying is bad if it happens to you or your friends but not to strangers who don't deserve it. Some 17 year old girl who likes Flynn work and praises Whisper doesn't deserve to be called names, she's not the same person bullying you or Crusher. You get what I mean?

You're right, it isn't fair. I know it's not. Yet my heart says that when hundreds of people agree with posts painting you as stupid and evil, that you're a toxic influence, when people stalk you only for the larger space to say "you deserve it," they might not be worth taking into consideration anymore.

It is really difficult not to have what is essentially a trauma reaction when I'm being chided for the upteemth time for my mutuals' behavior. I blink and suddenly the anons are there again; suddenly I'm breaking down sobbing again; suddenly I'm transported back in time to instances where friends admit how suicidal they are over this stuff. It's not something I can shut off like a faucet.

I'm not saying that controlling that gut reaction should be the responsibility of others, but I am saying that it is difficult. I'm trying to remain as objective as possible under those circumstances, even if I am caustic in how I phrase things. But sometimes I slip up, and it feels unfair to be chided for slipping up. Like, sometimes I legitimately get flashbacks over this stuff. I would think you would empathize since Whisper goes through the same thing.

Obviously I would never harass someone for merely liking IDW, which should be abundantly clear by the fact that I, for the most part, steer clear of every other Sonic fan. On the occasion that I do, I try to word things as neutrally as possible so as not to offend.

...But it also honestly feels like every time I ask a question or add commentary and it's not phrased in the most inoffensive manner possible, it's taken as harassment on my part. Which is an emotionally precarious place to live.

Is it harassment if they throw the first punch? Not sure.

---

It makes it look like you only think bullying is bad if it happens to you or your friends but not to strangers who don't deserve it. Some 17 year old girl who likes Flynn work and praises Whisper doesn't deserve to be called names, she's not the same person bullying you or Crusher. You get what I mean?

You missed the time I castigated people for making fun of a 17-year-old fan.

I know they're not the same people, but the limbic system doesn't distinguish.

What is your goal when you tell me these things? Because honestly, I feel like I've done everything within my power to stay inside my lane.

Unless you mean I ought to police my friends' behavior. I'm not going to do that. No, not even if they're being bullies. It's not my place. They're adults, they have agency. Their words are their own.

I don't tag my posts because people have said they don't want to encounter them. I don't send asks or PM people. I maintain a strict no-contact policy with IDW staff. I honestly don't know what more I can do. If you want me to stop posting Twitter screenshots, then I'll stop. But that's about all I can control.

[fictionfolk-safehaven]

Hey there! We're that anon whose posts "got eaten" as you put it, haha! We just wanted to give an update and say that the character does indeed seem to be a newly split headmate and uh to make stuff funnier(? probably not the right descriptor but idk what to call it), him and I might start dating soon?

It's a bit wild, I was expecting him to shut me down or for us not to hit it off so well, since obviously introjects are not the same thing as their source and that the source character seemed like someone I specifically would be totally compatible with didn't mean that the headmate in question would like me (especially since most of our insys relationships are quite turbulent and we have problems with being kind to one another due to very different incompatible world views, goals in life, etc, so I was mildly expecting this one to end up being uncooperative as well) (we're working on being nicer to one another dw). But he hasn't had a problem with any of us so far and we like each other a lot, so yeah, we might actually get together!

I'm trying to ask him out for Valentine's day but internal communication has been a bit spotty lately (times of stress nearly always make our communication much worse and limit it to "intrusions" while also making full switches with no co-con more frequent, which sucks), so wish me luck! Hopefully I manage to ask him out before Valentine's is upon us and if I'm a lucky man he might say yes!

Oh, last thing: do you have any, uh, ideas for a date / Valentine when it's insys? The only thing I got is going to a café but I'm unsure if he'd like that and I'd like to have a few ideas ready since I'm the one asking him out in the first place. I asked some of the other headmates but they couldn't think of much either.

Also uuuh in case we come back, can our sign off be 🪞🐦‍⬛?

oh my god our queue is so slow and we're so slow at updating it, it's past valentines day -_- you can absolutely!! Gods we needed to update our anon tag list asap.

that being said insys dates! We haven't managed to do any ourselves, but tbh we should. Honestly we tend to just think of what our ideal date would look like, and go do that with "ourselves." For us it'd usually be something like staying in and engaging in some shared interest, getting a treat if we can afford it, etc. Going to a cafe sounds like a great idea, honestly. We'd be likely to engage in our source for a date since we're source connected, or just engage in some media we both enjoy.

Sadly I happen to be *not* the hopeless romantic of the collective, but the only one with the energy to answer this, so it's not very detailed, but I hope it at least helped in terms of assuring you that your ideas are more than enough. Depending on who you and your partner are, your ideal date might not look very flashy. I wouldn't worry too much. I'll also open this to the comments if anyone has any better input to give.

[blamemma]

what you said about maxiel fanfics with endgame lest4ppen, yes, I agree. someone mentioned this before, but maxiel is slowly dying on ao3 while it seems to be thriving more and more on tumblr.

for me it's 50/50 because I don't mind where I'm reading, but here we have more one-shots and pieces of WIPs (which is good because it means authors don't feel the pressure to turn everything into a 50k story, so they can just post their ideas even if it's incomplete), but I personally LOVE longer stories, so I would love to read more and more about every single one of them.

and personally I just don't like lest4ppen at all. I understand the need to tag maxiel because daniel is the bad guy and the "shitty boyfriend" or whatever, but I just don't like seeing those stories 😬

will always preface asks like this by saying people can like what they like and find joy in whatever, i ain't gunna turn my nose up at anyone or anything, lestappen just doesn't make sense to meeee personally, but honestly whatever butters ur bread!!!

as someone who has dabbled here and there in this writing lark, for me there is a distinct difference in ao3 posting and tumblr posting....ao3 to me is formal, ur presenting something perfect, a fully-fledged story, a beginning a middle and an end (not in all cases but i just mean in general). most stuff i read on ao3 is fully-fledged nuanced ideas that the author has obviously spent hours of time crafting and experimenting with.

tumblr fic is inherently fun and blase and easier to throw out there into the ether and forget about really. tumblr fic doesn't need to follow grammatical rules or structure etc etc....it can just be a fun prompt game response or a quick lil fic that you had fun writing and wanna share with ur people?? both have purposes and both are enjoyable to write imo, just depends on what ur feeling and how much u want to expand on said idea??

when it comes to the maxiel of it all....idk how rude or pointed i can get here without getting into shit....so i'll try and word this gently....you have to keep the eco-system alive....i think comments and kudos are GREAT but honestly, if someone reblogs my fic with a fun few tags, i love that more, because in a selfish way, i might get 1 or 2 more readers from that because its going out to an even wider audience?? but its more than that!! engage with ur writers, message them on here and shout at them about their ideas, send them prompts, recommend their fic to ur friends...but i will stand by i think one of the best things you can do, if they make a fun lil post or graphic for their fic...reblog it...ur not only spreading the maxiel gospel, but ur also supporting that writer?? too many times on here i see people's fic graphics flop yet big blogs are leaving them comments on ao3 and look, EACH TO THEIR OWN and also i can sometimes be a bad reblogger dont get me wrong, but LIKE, there are some wildly talented authors on here who just need to be pushed into the limelight a little bit more??? idk if im wording this correctly, but sometimes there are fics that fall through the cracks because no one engages with them, and if ur an author who has put blood sweat and tears into that fic, ur not exactly going to be motivated to post another maxiel fic if u dont think ur going to get engagement from it (again, fic writing isn't necessarily about engagement or response, but let me tell u when i get a fun little comment or someone messages me about a fic i published, it inspires me to write more????)

maxiel is definitely alive and kicking, i follow some stunningly good maxiel authors, but at the same time, its about pushing forward those smaller writers as well and not thinking ur too cool for them???????????????

and so with that, this flufftober, kinktober, spooktober or whatever tober u are a part of, reblog the fic, talk about the fic and enjoy the fic

[moonpool-system]

I kinda see a few post of did and polyfragment systems allowing interactions and questions, but i always feel SOOO uncomfortable and scared to interact, because it's seems to be too easy for me to miscommunicate and disappoint others severely, and get hated for interest, or even trying to be supportive and kind. I feel like walking on an eggshells constantly. Or, to be more correct, like walking on a minefield, even with neurotypicals. And when it comes to group of people who have whole bunch of different experience, triggers and problems i can't even learn properly without getting hated first, it's tough. And instead of explaining what i did wrong respectfully people just lash out at me often, singlets did it pretty often at every opportunity, and im afraid DID-systems i'll try to interact or build connection with will too, and i won't learn better, but only will build resentment to people with disorders who need accomodations and understanding far more, and will just avoid interacting with them at all. Which isn't good i think...

Soo... I think to understand what respectful interactions and questions mean, i want to ask for some more practical and seen examples of disrespectful vs respectful interactions? The more the better i think. Idk i want to be more confident i won't do it wrong.

Hey, we totally get it when it comes to approaching people. We were terrified of calling ourselves polyfragmented for the longest time because we were so certain our trauma just couldn't be "bad enough". The community can be scary to approach sometimes with questions and such, especially since there're a lot of people that just want to live and rest without being pressured. If you can find blogs that say they're open to questions on their pinned post, that's usually a big boon! If they say they're open to questions and then tell someone off for asking genuine ones then they're just an asshole lol

As far as examples, we're usually good at this but honestly that's kinda hard in this case. When we ask for information, we tend to just make sure to state they don't have to answer any questions they're not comfortable with, and we make sure not to ask about common triggers or in-depth descriptions of trauma. Another thing you can do is post some questions in the tag, and systems that feel comfortable will respond with their perspective!

When it comes to "respectful questions", we were more referring to that in the context of fictivity, haha. That generally covers not asking any deeply personal questions about the harder parts of ones' canon, not assuming someone is completely source compliant, stuff like that.

The community can be pretty divided in places, but if we're able to share, learn, and stand proudly, that'll start to change. ^^

mun meme

𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍!

★  NAME:  Bryn

★  PRONOUNS:  she/her.

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

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

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

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

★  RP PET PEEVES:  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[johaerys-writes]

15 questions for 15 friends

I was tagged by my dear @elveny, thank you so much!! 💙

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: No! Well, yes, after a character in Greek mythology, but not after a parent or grandparent or anything like that.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: Yesterday. I was reading the Iliad again for an anon ask and was going through the part where Achilles kills Hector and oooh that scene got hands 🥲 I cry a lot though, I'm a crier, and a lot of the time it's about patrochilles so it's par for the course really lol

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: Nope.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?: I'm fairly active generally but I don't play sports at all because I don't like them. I tried several sports while in school before accepting that I simply don't like team sports and I'm not good at them, but I had much more fun with solo sports. I swam for several years somewhat competitively, and I also did track for a while. 

DO YOU USE SARCASM?: I think so? But usually only with people I'm very comfortable with, because I can never know what would go down well or not with a person I don’t know. 

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: That’s hard to answer because I feel like it depends on the situation. Most of the time, it's body language and their general vibe. Meeting new people can be nerve wracking so I try to "read" them and act accordingly, if that makes sense? I don't want to step on any toes or say the wrong thing so figuring out what the other person's mood or interests might be usually helps. But that often means I miss out on other things on first encounter, like... their eyes or smile or something?? Lol idk man, socialising while on the spectrum is hard 🥲

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?: Brown.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: I think I'll pick scary movies because I do like horror and dark stuff and I don't care if the ending is happy or not as long the story is interesting. 

ANY TALENTS?: it took me so long to think of something for this and I honestly don't know? I'm assuming by 'talents' we mean something you're born with, not something you've worked hard at like some kind of craft, right? In that case, I think I have pretty good visual memory, especially when it comes to books and articles and such, or the written word in general. Oh and I'm weirdly good at orientation, I can usually find my way no matter where I am. Which isn't such a huge deal now in the era of google maps, but back when there was no gps it was a pretty useful skill to have haha. 

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?: Greece.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?: Writing, reading, gaming, crocheting, drawing, going to museums! I'm constantly on the look out for new exhibitions and stuff, it's my favourite thing in the world to do. 

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: A darling and dastardly cat, aka my extension when I'm at home. 

HOW TALL ARE YOU?: 1,68m

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: Oh god I freaking hated school, absolutely hated it LOL I can't think of one thing I liked in it. I guess I only enjoyed the very last year of high school when I was preparing for the Panhellenic exams because like... it felt like there was finally some kind of purpose or reason to be there at all, even though there was a lot of pressure. I loved Ancient Greek, Latin, History and Philosophy. 

DREAM JOB?: I don't have one, I don’t dream of labour 🙃 I don't think there's any sort of job anyone could do in this capitalist hellscape we're all currently living in that would be enjoyable enough to make up for, well... living in a capitalist hellscape lol. If I could, I'd just go back to uni, probably. That was my happy place and I miss it. And I'd also write a bunch and read a bunch and take up all sorts of creative hobbies, and probably travel more. 

Tagging forth to a bit more than 15 friends lol sorry (and I know I'm forgetting ppl): @baejax-the-great @thiefylilelf @vimlos @mogwaei @gloriesunsung @aymayzing @cordelia---rose @knicknocknick @aristi-achaion @peachandfig @heypax @darlingpoppet @tevivinter @mary-aries @tragediegh @pikapeppa @figsandphiltatos always with love and without any pressure 💕

Hi!

Life has been a little hectic, and honestly, I feel exhausted. I'm sure a lot of us feel this way because of the drama that happened during the summer. It's noticeable, but I really can't blame you. Not gonna say more about that. But well, my ass needs a break too.

So, from now on until idk when, I will be taking a little break. Could be two weeks, a month, or even half a year. I'm still gonna be here, you can still reach out to me, and I'll continue to lurk the Nadia tags three times a day, but I won't do much posting. You're not getting rid of me.

There is one project that I'll keep working on, tho. Hopefully, it will be posted soon because we've been teasing you about it for ages. I'll let you know about the release.

I'm gonna keep my asks open in case anyone wants to send stuff, which I highly doubt, but I encourage you to do so. Sometimes one request is enough to make me go crazy and give me a much-needed rush of inspiration 😭

Also, I used to write fanfiction, and I've realized how much I miss it. Don't get me wrong, I love writing headcanons, but fanfiction was my thing for years; then I stopped because of life, and I also didn't feel good enough (even though it was apparently more than good enough, but most writers never eel like they are enough). So, right now, I've been leaning towards the idea of making a Nadia x OC story. It's probably gonna be mafia stuff because holy shit. Mafia Nadia. That's all I'm saying. I need that in my life.

So yeah, I want to go back to my roots, but it's kinda scary. I haven't written a whole fanfiction series in so long. It's been, like, almost four years. Holy shit, I'm getting old. And I also fear that I might quit halfway because that has definitely happened before, and I still feel so shitty about it. This turned into a vent. I'm sorry.

Anyway, it's time for me to rest and recover after what happened.

Be bad, have fun, love women, and I'll see you later, simps 😎

[albonoooo]

thank you for the tag @borntogayz <3

star sign: pisces

favourite holiday: christmas (for the cozy vibes and food)

last meal: rice and stir-fried veggies

current favourite musician: this changes daily, but lately i've been listening to a lot of palaye royale (damn you, liquid) and nostalgic 2000s music like britney spears, beyoncé, christina aguilera and the pussycat dolls.

last music listened to: i'm listening to palaye royale as i'm typing this.

last movie watched: drei haselnüsse für aschenbrödel (which is the same answer i gave in a tag game a few weeks ago lol)

last tv show watched: it's been months since i've watched any show, but i think it's the witcher.

last book/fic finished: the last book i finished is to kill a kingdom by alexandra christo (only took me one and a half years). i'm not sure about the last fic, probably something from the kinkmeme idk.

last book/fic abandoned: the last book i abandoned (for now) is bleak house by charles dickens. i technically had to read it for a seminar, but it's just too fucking long. as for fics, i don't really "abandon" any, i just keep them in my library (marked for later section) until i get to them, whenever that may be.

currently reading: as per the previously mentioned older tag game, i'm still reading the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde. since my last answer, i have made zero progress.

last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: does frantically looking for the right pictures of alex albon in red bull gear as well as articles about him leaving/them sacking him at 3am count?

favourite online fandom memory: honestly just discovering that there was fanfiction beyond x reader stuff was eye-opening. the first few m/m k-pop fics i read had such a huge impact on me, i can still recite the plot down to the smallest details.

favourite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: it's not old per se, but the pedro pascal girlies (gn) seem to be having a great time atm. i had my pedro moment in 2019/2020 when i watched triple frontier for the first six times, but maybe i should revisit that.

favourite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i've been thinking about this for ten minutes, i can't think of anything. if something comes to my mind later, i'll just add it then. EDIT: my best friend and i have an unhealthy obsession with the film napola (more specifically, max riemelt in it. the film itself is quite dark), but barely anyone even knows it. devastating.

tempting project you're trying to rein in/don't have time for: i'm currently trying to learn how to make web weaves because i have a bunch of ideas, but uni comes first unfortunately.

zero pressure tags in case you want to do this: @wanderingblindly @piastrisms @hrhgeorgerussell @bright-and-burning @liamlawsonlesbian

Hello!! Could you do questions 5 10 14 23 and 24 for Bichette a.k.a. NNA Goshiki pls? Thank u

We're making the Goshiki tags grow a bit more with this one boys

Hi! Thanks for the ask :] You're more than welcome for it! Sorry for answering late

5 - What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Words by The Real Group, backed-up by absolutely nothing but my own imagination so far. But also, c'mon, there's no way this man is a fighter. He's a talker and I know he's a rather talkative one at that.

10 - Could you be best friends with this character?

He reminds me of someone I know whom I constantly find myself laughing when I'm around. Goshiki as a character already makes me laugh a lot, and I think it'd be the same as a person - albeit the reasons would slightly change. I could get along, and I know I'd love his personality despite everything, but considering, uh, y'know, his line of work, I think I'd mostly be on guard while trying to get away and avoid him because y'know. danger.

But speaking realistically is boring most often than not so crime stuffs aside, focusing on what we know about his personality, yeah I'll be on board (partially, like I already stated, because of the person I know) now the real question is would he even bother to pay me attention lol

14 - Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

I suck at remembering aesthetics and what they're about. Can I be a basic bitch and answer dark academia? It's not even correct but alas.

I'm gonna go hide behind the argument that we've seen little of him so far, and he was always wearing suits. He's wearing formal clothes like his three oldest brothers (Shikaba to Hibaru are more casual) idk

If I were to force one onto him I'd make him wear expensive but comfy clothing (when he's not doing business). He's so unbothered I hope he lazes around all day while Tokyo is in a state of (mostly) lawlessness and the threat of fratricide between his brothers is increasing. The world is burning down in the back meanwhile he's just chilling. I hope he's living his best life.

23 - Favorite picture of this character?

Seeing a smug-looking character be caught off guard is the most thing ever. It's also the only time we see him with his eyes fully open and not droopy (they aren't that much during Terasu's flashback but whether it's him getting droopy eyes with time or Wakui changing his design slightly can't be confirmed yet), it makes him appear a bit younger (not that he's old to begin with). I'm still debating if he's got sideburns (bc it does seem like it in some panels and not in others) and honestly I usually hate sideburns but he's the first one to not only get a pass from me but also have me hope he actually has some. It adds to his charm.

Anyway, so far it's this one because seeing him panic was the best. Specially since he was the only Yotsurugi to.

24 - What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

It's tempting to do the same as tumblr user emimaki and answer Inspector Gadget ngl. gosh now I'm thinking about him having an astro and it being gadgets Inspector Gadget-style. Crazy how first it was Kakucho that got compared to him and now it's Goshiki. What is it with that hairstyle that makes ppl think about Inspector Gadget.

On the top of my head, Spamton from Deltarune. Because they constantly smile and when they don't/when their expression is suddenly neutral or serious you know something is wrong and you're fucked (it's always the case with smiling characters. waiting for Goshiki to have his moment(s)). Plus Spamton is hella fun too (despite the horrors)
