#my inbox and messages are always open to anyone btw

[undercoverpena]

I had more thoughts, and really didn’t want to spam poor @goodwithcheese ‘s poll (omg pls go vote here) and while I’ve already been vulnerable once, thought may as well do it again and share.

but i’ve also just read @wildemaven ‘s ask she received on this here (lovely answer btw babe, and so many others) and my heart hurt so bad. I never want anyone to feel like they’re not welcomed or thought of or included. and of course I want to do something to help, if I can!

especially as last year and the beginning of this year, I felt the exact same. something I realise I’ve never said, and only a few really close friends knew. I worried I was too much, that I was bothering people and or pushing people away or fretting over unresponded messages. and I’m not sharing this because I want sympathy, but more because this is why I’m passionate about trying to a way to make people more included. because I know how it eats away at your joy, and your fun, and makes you feel isolated.

now, I’m aware some of this is my anxiety, and I struggle in social situations. but some of it was also because I didn’t want to upset anyone, and I felt I was.

even if it’s a silly who wants to be a millionaire post or ask games or polls on studying, I want to try (and am so appreciative of the open convos on the poll and Heidi’s ask, to help).

I’ve been in several fandoms, but this one has been far the nicest overall. and I care so much about the people in this fandom. I always want to make sure my blog and my inbox is an open and positive space, and want to continue doing so. and again, I’m just sharing this because I think honesty is important. I’m shy, yes—but I want to make this space fun and enjoyable, because it’s been that way for me when I joined 🩷

ANYWAYS not the point!!! art ideas!!! :D i have a few for u <3

- yong and nuru being super extra and completely ruining a stealth mission (varian and hugo are so fucking tired)

- hugo and nuru bonding/being besties

- library/betrayal angst is always good….

- varigo post-trials snuggling up together to read letters from nuru and yong (theyve REFUSED to open them until they can do it together btw)

i've been on this platform for less than ten days this has to be some sort of record <33 no but the actual amount of frankly disgusting asks i've had to delete from my inbox in the past 24 hours is actually unreal like. those were the tame ones.. i legitimately had to walk away from my computer for a sec because it was so bad lmfao!! like guys, there are better things to argue about other than a single hc some teenager on the internet posted ??

anywho ALL THESE IDEAS ARE SO CUTE TYSM FOR THEM :] <3 i couldn't resist that last one, but believe me when i say library angst will be on the way.....

also to anyone else who has sent me a request ily and i'm getting to them when i can, however i do tend to prioritize the ones that pique my interest first!

[once-upon-an-imagine]

WIPs

so, since this has worked in the past, I thought I would ask again...

SEND ME THE NAME OF A WIP and I'll share a piece of the story!

so, there are two different ways that you can actually request this now:

first, you can take a look at the Masterlists on my page to see what the upcoming fics are and let me know which one you'd like a sneek peek of 😊 (I'm also putting it below if you don't want to go all the way there 😂)

Masterlists:

Stranger Things Harry Potter: Marauders Era Harry Potter: Golden Trio Era

or, since I don't have all the summaries updated there because I've had a few requests in the past few weeks, if you would like just a random WIP, I currently have 38 inbox messages, and 7 drafts, so you can also just say like Inbox #something, or Drafts #5 for example

I will have more free time this weekend AND I also have all next week off work so, please request away and help me get out of this horrible writer's block 😁 thank you all so much for your patience btw! love you, dearies ❤️

[huntinglove]

Sorry in advance for the long ask; feel free to delete without even reading the whole thing, I just really need to voice this somewhere and if by chance you did want to reply I’d massively appreciate your perspective.

I just was wondering… do you have any advice for finally ditching the plausible deniability of being “neutral” or “just anti-harassment” while existing on the selfship side of tumblr?

When I first joined the community I had genuinely never heard of proship vs antiship before, so I took a year or so researching and deciding where I stand on the matter. After witnessing the insanity of antis in action over and over and finding a much more rational community on Aethy and elsewhere in proship spaces, I’ve found I definitely come down on the proship side of the line. In recent months especially, I’ve found myself blocking more and more of my former mutuals or people I used to follow because of their “proship DNI” banners or the way they talk about other people who aren’t up to their standards… the trouble is, I’m not finding anyone new to fill my dashboard from proselfship tumblr, either.

I’m down to a handful of selfship blogs followed, and feel like I can’t reblog almost anything selfship-related because everything is polarized and I’d either be reblogging stuff that’s yelling “proship DNI” at the bottom, or else painting a target on my back and the backs my mutuals and whoever I reblog from by reblogging from proship blogs to an audience that I feel certain still contains a lot of antis but can’t possibly weed out entirely.

I’m not sure what to do. I think I’d be very easily identifiable if I just made an entirely new blog and turned the old one into an archive, so it would only be delaying the issue to take that route. Just slapping “btw this blog is proship now” might cause asshole antis to decide to harass not only me but anyone I associate with. I’ve never felt quite so badly “stuck” as I do now in terms of social issues.

Any advice would be welcome, but if you don’t have any, then thank you for taking the time just to read this. I hope you have an awesome day, and remember that your f/os adore you. 💙

It's a very complicated situation, I'm really sorry nonny!

Well, I've been there before. My main blog grew way more than I wanted it to, getting to over 1.5K followers, so I also felt cornered and unable to reblog the things I liked or interact with the people I wanted to.

It may be scary but the best advice I have is to make an entirely new blog and take your time warming up to the new waters. If you're afraid that you'll be recognized on Tumblr, then the communities over on Mastodon might be a bit better for you to gain confidence! If you're an adult and comfortable with NSFW content, I strongly suggest Baraag.

If you prefer to keep your original blog, it's a bit more complicated if you have constant/active interactions with your anti mutuals, because the safest option would be to block them. If you do, change your settings so that only mutuals can message you and so you won't be able to receive asks with media or anon asks, so you can avoid harassment.

I suggest slowly distancing yourself from antis until you feel it's safe to block them, instead of doing it right away, because people may block-evade you to see what's been going on in your blog after a sudden block.

As for only finding a couple of people to follow, you don't have to worry about it! If you follow five people, they'll interact with other accounts that will eventually catch your eye and so on. That's how your community and online spaces grow!

I really hope you find these tips helpful and I wish you the best! If you ever need to vent, my inbox is always open 💙

[youwearfinethingswellwriter]

While I edit the second part of One Last Dance, here's a mini snippet of a scene I'm currently working on! Not going to lie, it was a lot of fun to write. And, better yet, it's a really wholesome scene too.

---

She crouched down behind him and wrapped the rope around his wrists. “Tell me if it is too tight.”

“It’s fine. You can go tighter.”

“Halbrand.”

“Tighter.”

---

Yeah you read that right, we're going to get some light bondage! 😏😏😏

Btw my inbox is always open! 🤗 If anyone has any requests for what they would like to see in One Last Dance, feel free to shoot a message my way, and I'll see what I can do!

And those of you waiting for the Haladriel hamster, do not fret! We'll get there. Just a liiiiiiittle more patience!!!!

[weemssapphic]

This isn’t something you need to reply to, I just wanted to tell you that you kind of made my day. I had an unexpected flare-up and it totally wrecked my plans. On top of that (or maybe because of that?) I went down a negative rabbit hole about chronic illness online. So I kind of just felt like shit physically, mentally, and emotionally. I thought “I could really go for a comfort character right now” but I haven’t been able to find any fanfics with chronic illness in it. Then I figured “hey, you know who would be perfect at writing that? Weemsapphic!” (please don’t take that as a pressure thing, it’s not, I just enjoy your writing and your posts). And so I sent in the ask and then like almost immediately you responded. And you were just so positive and you seemed happy and everything else kind of just… went away. Truly, it instantly flipped my mood. So, regardless of if/when you write the fic, you totally fixed my day. And I just wanted to thank you for that 💕

(Btw, I hope your migraine passes quickly)

I'm sorry I'm just gonna go freaking sob at how happy reading this made me 🥺 thank you.

Flare-ups are the worst, and they always seem to come when you least expect them and actually really can't afford to have them. And then you often have to decide between canceling plans you were looking forward to, or pushing through anyway but not enjoying yourself in the slightest. There are so many layers to chronic illness, and some days will be better than others, but some days you just want to scream because it all feels extremely unfair. I'm sorry that your plans got derailed, I hope your symptoms are a bit easier to manage today, or that you at least are able to get some rest.

I don't feel pressured at all, I'm happy you enjoy my writing so much and I'd be happy to write it 💗 I'm so happy I could make your day a little better in some way - you've made mine better with this message <3 (and thanks, I took some meds last night and they're still semi-working so? a small win for me I suppose).

Anyway if you (or anyone else reading this) ever need to vent or need someone to talk to (about chronic illness/invisible illnesses/or anything else really), my inbox and my dms are always open! Hope you're having a lovely day <3

[formulaonedirection]

how do u balance ur sanity as both a lando and daniel warrior i feel like most people are either one or the other (love ur blog btw)

Hi! This is a great question and I'm gonna answer it SO seriously lol but the short is that it's NOT very easy! It's been an exhausting like month in the ol' Dando Nation and like the thing that gets me is that it's literally not because of anything Daniel and Lando have done to each other (they've actually been AWFULLY cute this month. for me)! So tips for maintaining your sanity:

Log off! Lol I mean for real sometimes you just gotta log off and scream and take a walk. I'm like The World's Most Sensitive Bitch so I have to log off and cry and feel my 10000 emotions so many times! Someone said something mean about me 8 days ago and my feelings are still hurt LOL

Make friends who also like them both and will listen to you rant about how cuckoo bananas Daniel blogs are being and how mean and cruel Lando blogs are being. You have no idea the number of messages I send Beth or Jess just whining about how people are being meaannnn and it's hurting my feeeeelings in a way that's too serious for something that's deeply unserious. I've also curated like a good-ish balance of blogs to follow so that's helpful! (I have a theory about this but let's take that offline lmao)

Ok last and this is really crucial is that I really just genuinely love the both of them a lot! Like they are equally important to me. They are my left tit and my right tit. Yin and yang. Dan and do. Thinking about them makes me happy! They're my dear blorbinhos, I rotate the two of them as individuals and as #Dando a lot in my mind! So you know whatever anyone else says, I like them and that's enough.

It's okay to feel in the mud about one over the other sometimes. Shit happens. It's hard to be happy for Lando when Daniel is so in the mud it's true, I won't lie! But I do feel a lot of love and affection for the kid and ultimately Daniel's problems have nothing to do with Lando so why would I put that on him.

ANYWAY! tl;dr feel your feelings? Sorry I got so serious and wrote a whole thesis like a lunatic but in conclusion: my DMs are always open for chats, inbox is always open and I love ya bud!

[chihirolovebot]

hey venus, i hope you are doing well! if not, i hope things get better for you soon, and my messages are open if you need to talk. remember to eat something, hydrate, and take any meds you need to!

honestly, a number of characters in danganronpa Grind My Gears, but. i was watching someone stream v3 earlier and my god. i nearly forgot how much i Despise tsumugi. like i'm sorry to anyone who likes her but. ever since i first finished v3 she just makes me feel Primal Anger. i applaud shuichi and the other survivors for restraining themselves bc idk if i would've been able to last in that courtroom before just jumping over the podium and slugging her.

it's just. she has Zero Personality for 80% of the game, because she is so boring that she has to steal other characters' personalities via cosplay. and then in the last chapter she's just so taunting and vicious, going from 0 to 100 in the worst way possible. ugh.

i am so sorry for ranting in your inbox again, i promise i'll send you more light-hearted stuff skskfjs

take care of yourself, vee. you've come so far, and i'm very proud of you. <:)

-☀️ sunshine

tsumugi is so GODDAMN annoying i like keeping her around in sleep awake to make silly little jojo references and that is IT. shes probably the character who appears the least in my fic and its because for most of the other characters i can think of some layer of emotional depth i can give them to relate to the reader, or at least have an emotional connective moment. like. but tsumugi is just so much nothing.

i really like the CONCEPT of tsumugi, and i see what they were TRYING to do it just. really feels like it missed the mark a lot. i know u know my thoughts on v3's ending as a whole but ive never rly touched on tsumugi's involvement with it because the truth is there is just not much thought i can put into her. like im gonna have to read a lot of meta from tsumugi fans or people who have actually dedicated time to analysing her (stronger than the marines btw) to prepare myself for the sixth chapter of the fic because holy shit i truly have nO IDEA what im doing with her right now.

ur always welcome to rant in my inbox rei!! especially because ur always correct abt everything and we share the same brain. idk if ur also going thru a heatwave where u are, but if u are remember to drink water and stay in the shade!! take care of urself my lovely <333

[fkinavocado]

in your last post you say don't send your fics to people and ask them to read it. has this been done to you? i'm asking because its been done to me and i get so frustrated. i mean i totally understand that they want people to read their stories but for me i get the same 2 or 3 people private messaging me, almost begging me to read their work. i think it would be different if i was mutuals with these people but i'm not. and then i feel bad so i always reply with 'yeah of course i'll check it out' but sometimes i forget or don't have time or just am not in the mood and i feel like i let them down.

my advice to newer writers is don't beg for people to read your stuff. when i started out i posted not even knowing how tumblr worked really and so i didn't even grasp the concept of people reblogging or interacting with my work. then when my fics spread through others reblogging from natural enjoyment my stories started to get notice that way. also i think if you have a close mutual or a blog you are close with it helps get your work out their because they will usually interact with your work and others will see and the cycle goes on and on.

yes, i've had people ask me to read their work, and it's honestly tricky. i barely have time to keep up with my favorite writers on here and on wattpad! i wanna enjoy their updates but i don't have enough time to do so sometimes, or i'm not in the right mindframe to just sit back and read, or i'm focusing on my own writing and i don't wanna mix it all up. but i never asked anyone to read my work... so it's not that i don't wanna at least check it out, but most of the time i honestly simply can't add another thing to my plate. some i have read and it was so awful that i pretended i never did 😅 i don't wanna break anyone's hearts! but i'm not gonna reblog anything i don't truly love. not even my mutuals' work, just cuz we're friends doesn't mean i'm gonna reblog if i don't enjoy it ( btw i don't want people thinking that i've hated their work and that's why i didn't reblog! fjrdiofjsdjefisj i'm just listing all the possible reasons why i don't rec some fics)

i only have my inbox open for mutuals. other blogs can't message me directly. but i've had mutuals send in asks with links to their fics, and they could've just messaged me if all they really wanted was for me to read their stuff- instead they sent it like that and it made me feel like they just wanted to promote it to my followers and it felt kind of iffy not gonna lie...

[pettydollie]

hey i hope you've had a good day :) ik this is mostly a fic/drabble type of blog, but i saw in one of your posts that you are open to venting. i hate sliding into ppls dms tbh lol so i hope its ok that i ask for advice like this btw u can totally ignore this i understand! so earlier this morning, i got dumped and i feel like shit tbh. like it wasnt even for a good reason at all. and we were together for like 2 years smh. ive been trying to cheer myself up all day but i cant and i just keep fucking crying and im so lost idk. im sorry to be dumping this all over you but you genuinely seem like a great person. its late right now and i cant fall asleep and its so hard. im just so tired. if you do respond to this, thank you so much. i dont really have friends irl so i mostly talk to ppl on tumblr anonymously lmao. i hope u have a great/day night!

hi sweets :) first, im so sorry. breakups can be super tough and hard to bounce back from, but you are going to get through it. in fact, you are going to heal and grow from it. i know that sounds pretty stupid rn lol but i promise you that things will get better! second of all, im so happy you feel comfortable with me to vent. anyone else whos reading this, you can always dm/pop into my inbox if u have something to share. and btw noonie dw about messaging me, i totally get it! if you havent eaten anything, please do. specifically something healthy/refreshing if you can. like fruit for example. eating junk in a bad state will just make you want to eat more and itll turn into a bad addiction. i know you said youre trying to go to sleep so eat something small if possible.

everyone has different likings but here are a few things that can help you: - listening to asmr! doesnt specifically have to be whispering or anything. it can be just sounds, that helps me a lot. i reccomend listening to sunshinejazzyasmr, gabi asmr, jocie b asmr, all on yt! ^ visual asmr is super good also. it helps when youre trying to keep your eyes open to watch the video, but u end up falling asleep - music. ik this is a basic idea but it really helps. find a calming playlist and i recommend putting your phone under your pillow to create a sort of muffled sound. its super soothing for me. wearing earbuds while trying to sleep can be super uncomfortable and you can get infections (ick) - sleep the other way around. like switch your pillow to the other side of your bed. its really simple but it kinda helped me. - watch a comfort show/movie. not something thatll keep you up, maybe something boring or more on the chill side. - sleep somewhere else. maybe on a sofa or if u live with another person, in their bed if its a comfortable situation - drink tea. i personally dont do this, but i think chamomile tea is really good for sleep. but i think u should look up teas first bc im not 100% sure lmao since you're crying a lot, i think you should wash your face. it makes me feel better :) u can also shower to make u even more sleepy and just to feel clean before you sleep.

i love you and you got this!! keep on going my love, everything happens for a reason. xoxo

[noctomania]

Somewhere recently I got a lot of followers so just wanted to check in to make some things clear about where I stand on some things:

This is a space i keep open bc i like to share information about myself or knowledge in general bc knowledge is power and i want to empower you. This does not give you permission to be weird in the sense of invading my inbox with sexually forward stuff. Luckily has only happened a couple of times so I don't anticipate it but just as a preventative bc I don't like having to block anyone so something like that but I don't have a 3 strike rule for that it's a one and done.

I am very open tho about many topics including but not limited to sex bc I think the more repressed topics need to be talked about so we can find healthier places to exist bc where many people are at, at least in my country, it ain't healthy. What I post/repost isn't always about me. Just keep that in mind that you shouldn't assume anything about me unless I say it. If you chose to follow me you do so at your own discretion. While most sexual stuff i talk about is usually in an educational/informational vein, and I don't tend to make dirty jokes, I like to have the freedom to. So just be aware there can be mature material here so you follow at your own risk.

We do not condone any bigotry and to be clear here are some examples ( disclaimer for all these btw history matters, who holds the power matters, it isn't just about feelins):

Holiday commissions time!!

These will be open until the 24th of December and do not have to be holiday themed at all! If you are interested in a commission just dm me and we can discuss what you want. I would appreciate a minimum of two reference photos but if that's not possible a detailed written description will work fine!

Do's and Don'ts under the cut!!

I will do:

sfw, oc's, self inserts/self ships, oc x canon, oc x oc, monsters, simple anthros, platonic/romantic/familial

I won't do:

nsfw, Inc*st, Ped*philia, mechs/robots, heavy gore, anything pregnancy related

I have the right to refuse anything that makes me uncomfortable but if this occurs I'd be happy to discuss a different commission, if you're not sure about something don't be afraid to ask me about it!

Can you write something angsty with a fluff ending for Orlo. Where he breaks up with you because he doesn't think he deserves you for some reason, but then he tells you he still loves you. Btw I just wanted to say that I love your fics ❤️ I am always rereading everything you write 💕💕

This has been sat in my inbox for ages, and it's such a lovely ask, so I wanna do a 'ten minute write' for it! If I had more time, I'd love to write a full oneshot. And thank you so much for your lovely message! Fluff; angst; minor S2 spoilers for one of those things Orlo does. approx 800 words

You frown at the familiar space of your rooms, struggling to place what's wrong. The furniture is there, your clothes and books, mementos and papers, but there's something gone.

It's the tidiness. The empty spaces. He's gone.

"Orlo?" you call, wandering deeper into your apartment.

You expect to see him at your desk, or curled up on a chair somewhere. Maybe lounging on the bed. It's early in the morning, the Empress won't need him yet, and his work can wait. He usually takes his time before breakfast.

Again, you call his name, wondering where he's gotten to. He startles as he walks in, one of your robes bundled in his hands.

For a moment he holds your eyes, and you see the nervous twitch of his lip betray him. You approach him, trying to tread softly so you don't scare him. The door closes subtly behind him, as he stares at you wide-eyed.

"Orlo... is everything okay?"

His fingers move through the fabric of the gown he's carrying, playing with the soft material and distracting him from answering. His gaze is trained on the wall behind you now, and you resist the urge to follow it, tease him about seeing a ghost.

He looks nervous enough to convince you that perhaps, he has.

"I, um... I thought you might want this."

He gestures with the robe in his hands, but doesn't return it. You frown.

"Was it causing too much clutter in your room? It probably needs laundering anyway, I'll have it sent out."

"Okay. No, I... uh. I thought perhaps it might be sensible to... disentangle ourselves."

The emptiness of your room was starting to make horrible, gutting sense. Had he done this while you were at breakfast? Before even asking?

"What does that mean?" you demand.

"Just that, maybe, we should be a little less together. I still haven't - hadn't - decided how to explain it to you."

You feel the panicked beat of your heart in your throat, the sudden urge to run from this situation. It felt surreal.

Orlo was still clutching your robe.

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"No! I thought we might tell anyone who asked that... you broke up with me," he spoke the words to the floor, as your mouth opened in shock?

"Why would we do that?"

"Because I... can we sit? I feel rather lightheaded."

You acquiesce, though refuse to give in to his distraction, sinking wordlessly into a chair opposite his. He finally places the garment down beside him, his hands wringing instead.

"I fear I may not be in Catherine's good graces for long. And... it will not do you any good to be close to me when she finds out what I've done. It may already be too late."

Blinking in shock, you feel your mouth go dry at the thought of what could happen. Your words are ground out, barely more than a whisper, and yet you fear the whole palace can hear.

"What on Earth have you done, Orlo?"

"I... I had to... move some funds. Without her approval."

Theft.

"Fuck."

"I shouldn't have told you that," he was beginning to think out loud, looking around the room as he did when panicked, "I understand if you turn me in. I truly do. I have let you down, and I fear I may not be able to provide... in the way I had intended. Catherine still likes you. You will be fine. But my association with you will not help you as she discovers my betrayal -"

"Orlo."

He looks to you instantly, brown eyes wide with panic, pulling at his own hands in nervousness.

"You have done me no wrong so far. Aside from failing to tell me this. Moving all our stuff without my permission. We are not breaking up over this."

Orlo just blinked, watching you intently. You knew he had no real intention of breaking up with you. This was a stress response. Controlling what he can control.

"You're going to speak to Catherine, sort this out, and then you're going to come back here and figure this out too. Got it?"

He exhaled slowly, mind whirring as he thought everything through. You resisted the urge to shout at him. Catherine would surely do a better job than you ever could.

"Got it."

He stood to leave, before he lost his nerve, one hand trailing to meet yours as he passed you on his way to the door. Before opening it, he paused.

"Thank you," he told you gently.

You bit back a grimace, trying to ignore the fearful shake of his hands and the tensing of his jaw. The coming days would not be pleasant. You tried to offer a sincere smile instead.

"Good luck."
