Hey so is afk arena fun to play? It looks like it would be too heavy and resource-hungry for my poor old phone, but also,,, I want to know,,,
(assuming you're talking abt afk journey, since arena is my general tag because it came first)
tbh like...I really couldn't tell you if my answer is yes because it's a genuinely enjoyable game, or yes because i was already attached to it from back when i played arena?
like objectively. the gameplay is just OK and really suffers in areas. one of the main progression mechanics involves setting your phone down to play itself while you go do something else. the writing is really just barely skirting at Decent, and the voice acting is straight up Bad in a lot of places.
but like. despite that ive still logged on every day like clockwork for like? a month and a half?? the art is good there's lots of little things to run around and do underneath the weird writing there are some true character gems. the gacha aspect is extremely forgiving. almost every option in the store is BONKERS expensive so ive never had an issue being tempted to go off f2p except the things that were Really worth it. its an afk game so you gain materials over time even when you're not playing so it feels like you're constantly progressing.
I guess jury's out on whether it's like Objectively good, but i do think it's worth a shot! important to know there's also a computer version if you want to save the space on your phone, though I've heard it's pretty buggy still

Oh wait I realized afterwards it was a tumblr handle as well and not just like. A codename for a really intense high school AU lmao. I still wanna know what it's about tho!
It is a really evocative username isn't it? Gives me all kinds of XV Brotherhood themed ideas. Just. So many shenanigans.
At the moment this year's wip (I do one for Math every year through Fandom Trumps Hate, and the AUs vary wildly) is leaning more towards a mediaeval fantasy situation. I do love me some BAMF Prompto content, so I'm thinking peasant!Prompto saving knight!Noctis from dying in the snow after a terrible battle. It's still very much in the planning stages, but I'm having fun with it :D
Thanks for the ask!~

🗣️ for the wip thing!
🗣️Talk about your favourite WIP
idk if you're into Hikaru no Go, but I hope you are because i've decided to lean into "it's funniest to have 1 WIP that you call your favourite" for the purposes of this meme, so without further ado: more facts about the Hikago Pride & Prejudice-like AU!
In honour of what my writing process looked like today: an incomplete list of things I've looked up...
oldest internet go servers
netgo forum
webcams
history of webcams
jennicam (<- an aside just because i was curious)
dial-up internet webcams
history of dial-up internet
list of titles in japanese professional go
schedule of title matches in japanese professional go
kifu from isg / kifu from pandanet / kifu from netgo
[canon details, including Waya's username (how could I forget Zelda?!) and Morishita-sensei's actual rank (9-dan, good for him)]
how to find someone with IP address
history of doxxing
history of rofl (<- since at least 1989, when it was usually ROTF!! wild!)
i love... research... somehow still managed to write > 600 words today, which is a lot for me!

👀👀👀
T'as mis plein de zyeux alors tu as un gros extrait (de la fin! Ou plutôt vers la fin, là où c'est bien la merde pour mes persos 😅) de mon roman ! Merci 😁
Son nom franchit ses lèvres sèches, presque un chuchotement.
"Desden ?"
Il se retourna complètement.
Et planta ses yeux dans les siens.
Il n'était pas loin. Quelques dizaines de mètres tout au plus. Il se dirigea vers elle. Toujours avec la même démarche. Toujours les mains vides. Et rouges. Elles étaient couvertes de sang.
Diane se mit à trembler. Ce qu'elle avait en face d'elle était tellement anormal qu'un goût de bile lui remonta dans la gorge. Elle recula.
Il gardait son regard fixé sur elle. Droit dans les yeux. Mais paradoxalement, alors qu'il n'y avait aucun doute qu'il la voyait, qu'il la regardait, son regard était plus vide qu'il ne l'avait jamais été.
Il s'arrêta devant elle, droit, sa tête penchée vers elle, ses yeux dans les siens. Diane était incapable de se détacher de ce regard.
"C'est son nom."
La voix de Desden était bien la sienne, mais là encore, quelque chose n'allait pas. Elle était plate. Sans accent, sans aucune de ses inflexions habituelles. C'était seulement un son identique, sans personnalité.
Diane était tellement perturbée qu'elle n'avait pas bien compris la phrase. Elle begaya.
"Quoi ? Quoi, c'est son nom ?"
Diane vit le visage en face d'elle se brouiller, passer d'inexpressif à quelque chose d'autre. Presque peiné. Desden cligna des yeux et pendant une fraction de seconde, elle reconnut enfin une attitude qui lui appartenait. Mais cela ne dura pas.
Diane fut scrutée par ces yeux vides pendant encore un temps qui lui parut atrocement long, toujours incapable de se détourner, alors qu'à l'intérieur, elle ne voulait que tourner les talons et s'enfuir en hurlant.
Puis, Desden, ou plutôt l'homme en face d'elle qui aurait dû être Desden, s'approcha encore, et, se penchant sur elle, ferma les yeux et renifla.
"Parle encore."

📝Share a snippet of an unposted WIP, with or without context.
All Good Things chapter the next one (post-nut heat depression). Was gonna post a different paragraph but figured that was probably spoilers. Also, you get something a little cheeky/nsfw
Oscar’s house had plumbing these days so Bruno made use of them, resisting the urge to lick his hands and groom himself the instinctual way. He emptied his bladder and cleaned himself out with his fingers, feeling strangely dull. Bruno had run Oscar ragged. It brought heat to his cheeks remembering it. They hadn’t thought to prepare Bruno's backside. If they had, if Bruno hadn’t been so excited at the promise of touch and comfort, he wouldn’t have had to worry about what came next.

Tag game for fanfiction authors !
Tagged by @riotbrrrd
The story you're proudest of: 
"Sins Unexplored", this longfic about Entrapta and Hordaks developing relationship and how their disabilities and trauma affect that.
Not just is it fairly long for my standards and I wrote longer than a year on it, I also put so much of myself and my own experiences in it, and, and that sounds pretentious about a fic, but these are such important topics, ableism and disability and queerness and how that affects someone. I even got feedback from people feeling seen in it!
Your story that's gotten the most love online:
Again "Sins Unexplored", absolutely justified.
Tease a current WIP or idea you're working on: 
Oh god I have so many Uglies fics in my folders to publish somewhen after the movie came out and the fandom resurrected, most of them about Tally/Shay post-canon, shortly after Extras, and how their trauma and neurodivergence and body image issues affect their relationships (see a pattern?)
Your top 3 fandoms:
Babylon 5 - Because this fandom is like the toxic ex I just can't get rid off
She-Ra - Because this was, despite how incredibly toxic the fandom and how... badly executed some parts of the series were, the first time I not just saw someone like me in mainstream media, but relationships like mine, between two disabled queer people
Star Trek Discovery - First femslash ship I ever had! But then the series did a 180° and I didn't even finish it, and by now I write much more Locked Tomb or Uglies
Your top 3 ships:
Tumblr media
Delenn/Lennier (Babylon 5)- Just the femdom and how this is both messy and complicated and badly communicated but also so deep and loving. Ruthless but wise high priestess turned politician/younger, naive monk who is her assistant. Not healthy, but fun, and wow are they both pretty.
Tumblr media
Entrapta/Hordak (She-Ra) - They're mad scientists. They are also deeply traumatized and lonely disabled people bonding over being different. Also femdom. And a really sexy monster boy design, and Entrapta is hot too.
Tumblr media
Katrina Cornwell/L'Rell - An alien torturer and an human admiral, meeting as enemies, but coming to respect each other. Both women. The have exactly two (2) scenes together, but wow is their chemistry intense.
Rec someone else's fic:
Don't really read that much fic right now, so this is a bit difficult. The last really good one I read was:
"A Star Chart In Rotation" by halcyonine, which shows the tender beginnings of the doomed relationship of Teixcalaan Emporer Six Direction, future Empress Nineteen Adze and Lsel ambassador Yskandr Aghavn from "A Memory Called Empire". It is just so bittersweet, and gets the dynamic and worldbuilding so right.
Pick one!
Fluff or Angst (Fluff is nice sometimes too, but I love how deeply Angst can go into how a character works)
Oneshots or longfics (Both for writing and reading, because while longfics are amazing, I just don't have the energy for them most of the time)
Canon compliance or canon divergence (If I would want canon, I would watch or read the media. Also canon divergence just has so much more possibilities)
AO3 or FF.net (Not just the better functionality, the culture there feels much more open and welcoming, and also smut is allowed)
tagging @a-certain-elf and @entrapdaknation if you want

🥑💌🪐🥐☁️
Ok, now that I'm done with the fucking CNRS interview, I can conjure the brain power to answer these:
🥑: you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help? It depends for what task I need them. For hiding the body @ourdragonsarebetter and @riotbrrrd (Cora would tell me to roll it in a carpet and burry it, Kana would just tell me to feed it to wild beasts). @puukkolesbo and @dragonsingondolin are in charge of legal counseling. @thehoveringbrain is in charge of the coffee.
💌 : how many unread emails do you have right now? On my professional account, none. On my personnal one...about 100.
🪐: name three good things going on in your life right now Easy, I have been blessed with an amazing boyfriend, I have wonderful supportive friends and professionally I am getting where I want to be.
🥐 : name one internet reference that will always make you laugh  That's a french one : Joueur du Grenier will never not be funny.
☁️: what made you choose your username? Oh boy...It's a bad atempt at translating of my first name in Breton (one of France's regional languages). I'm not even sure how I should pronounce it.

Hey! 4, 16, 19 and 35 for the dnd questions?
Ooh, thanks for the ask! Appreciate it o3o
4. I'm a bit new to actually playing d&d, so I have only 3 characters at the moment. Of them, my favourite is Nanea, a half Avariel (half elf, but the elf part is Avariel) wizard who specialises in fire magic. Here she is:
Tumblr media
(the art is by FejiHT on Etsy)
16. Although I love The Adventure Zone: Balance, I have recently fallen down the Mighty Nein rabbit hole and it really speaks to me (and so does widomauk...). Those are the only two I've made any headway in. I tried Friends at the Table once but I didn't find it very exciting. I might have another go with a different campaign of theirs but it won't be for a while since I keep pausing the Mighty Nein to write fanfiction.
19. I've always been peripherally aware of d&d as part of the larger Nerd Culture which I've been immersed in since high school. My first exposure to the game experience was TAZ Balance. My first gameplay experience was in a discord server over the summer (with Nanea).
35. You know, I'm actually not sure what my favourite d&d trope is yet. I do like how every character at the table is interesting in their own way. Because each character has a different player it means that each character can be more fully fleshed out than a lot of characters all made by one person. (And of course, not all NPCs are going to be interesting, but the DM usually has a few that are included in the category of "interesting", I wouldn't want to leave them out <3)

Title meme: SOLDIER Aerith Roleswap?
Augh, The SOLDIER Aerith Roleswap 🥺I love it so much.
Aerith Faremis, SOLDIER 2nd class in Shinra's esteemed military, gunning to get her 1st Class promotion before a certain (very) pretty boy.
Cloud Strife, flower seller, descendant of the Ancients, trying to make himself rich in the Big City doing the one thing he's good at (making things grow).
They meet while Aerith is on a job for Corneo (ew) and her attentions get him into more trouble with some very powerful people than pretty flowers can get him out of.
I can't find the parent post anymore ;_; but so much love go to @riotbrrrd and @breezy-cheezy for helping spawn and flesh the concept <3

Got tagged by @riotbrrrd to share the "Last line of your wip" ! :) This also kick-started a little writing session, so thank you for that haha.
The apartment's empty, but it suddenly feels still too-occupied to have this one-person conversation, like his memories of being in good company on that couch, in the kitchen, on the balcony are all crowding him to watch him craft his apology.
(it's a continuation of that pregnancy fic i'm definitely not writing...)
I'm gonna tag anyone who's got a current writing project they wanna have open! :) so... @psidn and @simmonsized and uh... who's writing stuff? this means u.

2 and 7 for the writer asks?
2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?
Hmm I'm really bad at remembering and identifying tropes - I'm the worst litteral piece of shit ever - so idk... I think maybe I'd like to give a go at ennemy-to-lovers but really I'm not sure I could pull off the ennemy part. Also I'd love to write an actual case fic but I can't plot for the hell of me so I'm just looking for good ones to read (and boy am I picky. I wish I wasn't).
7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
Okay so first I don't... Like my writing that much. I find it efficient, I'm proud I manage to write in relatively good English, but really literary speaking it's not that good. And that's okay, I want to tell stories, and I don't know shit about style and all, I just write what sounds good to my inner ear. So I have favourite stories of mine but I don't have favourite bits, if that makes sense ?
And since I need a long time to mull stuff over, I don't know what I think of my last writings. So I went to look for OOOOOOOLLLLLD stuff and found this.
When Emily, ready to sleep, walked past him, he caught her gently with his right arm. Her long, black hair down and braided for the night; her gown barely hiding her body. He couldn’t resist. He wanted to hold her, and craved her touch. It had been so long. They hardly talked nowadays, let alone had any intimate moments. He just wanted to feel her skin against his… maybe make love to her, if he was lucky. He would kill for that, actually. But Emily…
He kissed her on the cheek, lightly, and when she didn’t react, he kissed her on the lips. Passion taking him over, he pulled her against him, the kiss drawing longer, betraying his thoughts.
Emily pushed him back, her hand on his chest. She looked distressed, which had the effect of cold ice on him.
“Edmund… please.”
“I just want a kiss.”
He saw Emily’s eyes drift to his scar, and close. He knew it was not the right thing to say, but he had to. His words came out in a low, husky voice, his face close to her, nearly buried in her neck.
“I just want you. I need you…”
Emily stepped away from him, and he let his arm fall at his side.
“I cannot, Edmund.” She tucked herself in bed, turning away. He could feel her tension when he settled next to her. He tried to keep his voice even, and soft.
“Can I hold you, at least?”
“Please, put your clothes back on, Edmund.”
Half frustrated, half abashed, he got out of bed. But he didn’t resent her for it - it was understandable. He just felt sad. Just a little more hollow. He had kept on his long johns, but had to pull his shirt back on, triggering a jolt of pain in his shoulder. He suppressed his groan and wince. But he couldn’t suppress his impulse to say:
“I miss you.
“I miss our daughter.” Emily’s reply was dry, her voice almost shaking.
He stopped as he was walking back to bed. That was the last step of all conversations. Always. He could never answer her. There was nothing to say.
Context and why I like it : this is a Ripper Street fic, and it's a prequel - so all of this tries to be the closest possible from canon, and just tries to fill the blanks as to what the MC, Edmund, has been through before the events of the first episode. We know, but we're not shown. So I wanted to show those, and this chapter delves on him slowly estranging himself from his wife as they grieve their daughter's loss - her being convinced she's dead, him convinced she's alive and intent on finding her (and unbeknownst to Emily, feeling all the guilt for losing her because it was his fault she was there)(that's not really a spoiler btw. But what is a spoiler is IS SHE ALIVE OR NOT?). They love each other, still, but this is setting them apart. I think I got the right feeling there, the weight, the fact that Edmund still tries (very clumsily and stupidly) to reach for Emily, and she just won't let him because come on Edmund are you dumb? (Yes he is) Also while using the scar on his shoulder - he got burnt during the accident where their daughter was lost - as a physical reminder of it. It's engraved in his flesh, the loss, the guilt, and it drives Emily yet further away. I think it's one of the good stuff I wrote (and incidentally a piece that is not TOO long and it's already TOO LONG I AM SORRY).
