7, 8, and/or 20 for the ask game
7. How big are your breasts?
I’ve had top surgery. But before I was a barely B-cup.
8. Are your nipples sensitive? Do you like having them sucked?
They’re not super sensitive anymore (unfortunately) but I love having them licked, sucked, bitten.. all of it 🤤. Before my nipples used to stay hard!
20. Are you an undewire girl or a bralette girl?
I was a tomboy so sports bras were my go to. Underwire is the devil’s work. If I had been girlier I’d have been a bralette girl. Hell, I’d wear them now 🤭.

Jason Todd & Chronic Pain
I scrounged for the panels I know from Rebirth about Jason still having lingering pain and injuries from when the Joker killed him. We know Jason had substantial injuries and brain damage when he was resurrected, and Talia healed that with the Lazarus pit. But here’s some I know of being mentioned even after Talia healed him with the Lazarus pit.
The first I know of is when evil future Batman Tim targeted Jason’s hip because of a Joker-related injury that he claimed would eventually become debilitating for Jason. This move does take Jason out of the fight so it definitely seems like evil Tim successfully aggravated the injury.
Tumblr media
Detective Comics #968 (Jan 2018) — earlier in #966 Batman Tim also mentioned future Jason would eventually lose an eye and a leg while fighting assassins.
More recently, regular, not-evil Tim referenced it while evaluating how to fight a Clayface Jason mimic:
Tumblr media
Tim Drake: Robin #3 (Jan 2023) — Tim says the pit brought Jason back, which has sometimes been a thing. Originally Jason was only healed by the pit after he’d already been resurrected by something else.
This next one was black label, so it may or may not be canon (the creative team claims “it’s up to reader interpretation” and disagree on whether they personally think it is canon). I’m not a fan of the comic but it did pretty clearly indicate Jason had chronic pain from the Joker:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Batman: Three Jokers #2 (Nov 2020)
(There might be more than these—my reading of post flashpoint comics is kinda random and incomplete compared to my reading of post-Crisis. In post-Crisis though I think they mainly put emphasis on Jason’s destabilized mental health and didn’t really bring up physical aspects IIRC. His brain damage seemed healed and yet he seemed more affected after the pit than other one-time-in-the-pit characters like Dinah Lance or Cass Cain were.)
They haven’t bothered explaining how the pit didn’t heal them so far as I know (the pits kinda work to authorial convenience anyway). My route is usually to blame any weird Jason stuff on the strange, multiversal circumstances of his resurrection, but versions of his origin where he’s only brought back by the pit might not jive with that (which includes some Rebirth IIRC).
In any case, I do hope more writers pick up on this more and I love to see when it’s expanded upon a bit in fandom. I would already consider Jason’s mental health to be a disabling issue for him but it’s neat sometimes to have writers recognize chronic pain-related issues among DC characters. (I’d love to also see more expansion of Bruce mentioning he experienced chronic pain…it pops up every so often but rarely if ever in depth.)
Alt text is copied and expanded upon under read more below.
ID 1: Two panels from Detective Comics #968 showing Jason Todd as Red Hood leaping to fight evil future Batman Tim Drake. Jason says, “Sorry, Timmy, I don’t believe in Santa Claus.” Batman Tim slams his staff directly into Jason’s right hip joint, sending him flying back, and says, “Jason. In a few years you were going to learn that one of your bones never set right after the Joker killed you. There’s a growing debilitating bone spur in your hip joint. There, I found it for you you’re welcome.” They’re both in the batcave.
ID 2: A cropped panel from Tim Drake: Robin #3 showing a red narration box for Tim Drake which says: “The Lazarus Pit may have brought Jason back from the dead, but he’s still sensitive where The Joker killed him.”
ID 3: A comic page from Batman: Three Jokers #2. A Joker leans in Jason Todd’s face, looking intense and serious. The Joker says, “Who is the Joker, really? We’re going to find out.” The word “out” is written in an extended sing-songy way. The Jokers put Jason’s Red Hood helmet over his head but they’ve decorated it with a wide Joker-style grin. The two Jokers laugh, then one says, “We’ve spent considerable time trying to best answer that question: who is the Joker? We found that judge. A serial killer. A surgeon. All rather predictable and uninspiring. And then there’s you. Tell me something. Why would you put on that helmet and call yourself Red Hood after what we did?” Jason, who is sitting naked tied to the wooden chair, says, “Come on. Is every one of you copycats gonna ask me the same thing? It’s a joke.” One of the Jokers holds up a crowbar as the other says, “A joke? We left you with brain damage and permanent nerve pain. Physical and emotional trauma so severe that the only relief you ever find is when you inflict pain on others.” The Joker holds the crowbar by Jason’s head. “You and me, boy…..We’re more alike than you’d care to admit.”
ID 4: A comic page from Batman: Three Jokers #2 showing Jason Todd with no shirt on and small bandages on various parts of his arms and face. He looks at a calendar on a wall and reads the crossed out days that have physical therapy sessions written on them. He sees a stack of various healing and exercise books. The top book is titled Chronic Pain Management by Dr. D. Kresan. He picks it up. Barbara Gordon as Batgirl enters a different, dark room through a window.
ID 5: A comic page from Batman: Three Jokers #2 showing Barbara Gordon as Batgirl entering her own bedroom. She says, “Jason?” She sees a book on her bed titled “Chronic Pain Management” by Dr. D. Kresan. Jason says, “Barbara?” and walks out of the attached bathroom with only a towel around his waist. Babs says, “I figured you’d left.” Jason says, “I hope it’s okay I used the shower and I…I didn’t mean to go through your things. The closet door was open and that book looked…useful.” Babs says, “It was. Are you okay?” Jason has small bandages and bruises on his face as he says, “I don’t think I’ve ever been okay.” Babs looks concerned. Jason continues saying, “What the Joker said…about how I’ve been on the path to being like them for years…they’re not wrong. I don’t want to be like them though. I really don’t. You believe that, right?” Babs says, “I’m willing to.” Then Jason says, “Can I ask you something?”

Writing Burnout and Helpful Tips
Hi yall, it’s been wonderful seeing ask-the-prose posts going around writeblr and I’m so happy to see that some of these guides are helpful. If you have a specific topic you’d like me to cover, send in an ask!
What is burnout?
Burnout is incredibly common and nothing to be ashamed of! If you find you are too exhausted to do what you love, running out of ideas, or perhaps not wanting to do anything, you may be burned out. Burnout can pose a serious block to your writing, and it’s just not fun.
Burnout can happen when you’re stretching yourself too thin, spending more time and energy creating than taking in creativity, or not taking care of yourself the way you need.
Step 1: Put out the fire
One of the number one ways to fast-track your way to burnout is to forget to care for yourself. We’re writers! Sometimes we get in the zone, or maybe a little obsessed, and we forget to eat, hydrate, and maybe even put off sleep. But ignoring self-care is unsustainable.
We all see posts all over reminding us to hydrate, eat well, sleep, and even stretch, but these are genuinely great tips to remember when you’re not feeling well. I’d like to add a few ideas to try when you’re feeling down.
Exercise. Walk, run, play a sport, do anything that helps move your body, whatever you can do to help your blood flow, even if it’s just a few push-ups or a good stretch.
Find a new set of walls to stare at. I get in a rut going to the same places or staying home when I have nowhere to go. But hanging out at a coffee shop or cafe helps me often. It’s a chance to observe people, see new things, and get some sunlight. If you need to shake it up, try a new cafe!
Socialize. Sometimes burnout looks like loneliness. Socialize! Talk to a friend or family member, or make a new friend! New perspectives help.
Not all of these work for everybody, but they’re friendly suggestions to try when you’re feeling burnout coming on.
Step 2: Replenish your reserves
As creatives, we get stuck always wanting to create, but that’s not sustainable either! Creativity is not just an internal process, we need external stimulation to replenish our creative reserves. When you feel like you just can’t come up with ideas or anything new, maybe it’s time to read.
Reading can help, though I personally understand the struggle to read (and finish!) books. Start with short stories or novellas if you struggle to read novels. Read within the genre you’re trying to write, and then step out of your genre and try something new. You never know when inspiration will strike.
Watch movies, listen to new music, play a video game, or do anything that can give you a creative boost. Reading is critical, but learning about other mediums is just as important.
Step 3: Self-indulgence is key
You may find as you’re recovering from the burnout that your wip may just be what’s causing the problem. Ask yourself some important questions:
Am I writing for myself?
Am I writing something that I want to write?
If not, what do I want to write about?
Do I like what I’m writing, or do I feel like it’s what everyone wants to read?
Answer these questions for yourself, and if you find you don’t like those answers, take a look at your project and see what you can or want to change. Remember, if it’s not fun and it’s not what you want, then it might not be worth it.
Take what you need, leave what you don’t
As always, this guide is meant to be helpful, and as with all writing advice, it’s entirely subjective. I believe these tips work because they worked for me. But if you find that something isn’t helping, leave it! Move on or adjust to what you as an individual need to recover from your burnout.
Remember that no writing is ever wasted and that your writing matters. We need your voice too!
– Indy

I was originally going to add this to the rb I did in response to @gallup24 in the first post - which thank you - but I felt it was getting to long so I we are just going to do a part 2 - go read that first one though
We are going to be diving back into the title sequence
So let me expand on these walkways
I think for this title sequence we are seeing Heavens timeline/plan for when Armageddon was supposed to happen if they won
Looking back at s1 title sequence - which I believe was Hells timeline/plan for Armageddon if they won - something that stood out in comparison to s2 is that the way they are walking is always forward, never on unsteady “ground”.
Which would make sense because from Hells perspective it’s not until the very end that Armageddon gets all fucked up. This would be represented by the rock towers crumbling right at the end.
But back to s2 title sequence let’s follow this Jesus figure around for a minute
The first time I can find him is right before we go into the theatre - very prominently in the center
Tumblr media
so what could this mean? Has Heaven been planning the details of the Second Coming since 1941? Did they send Jesus back down to Earth in 1941 because the dead were resurrected? Since this area of magic tricks is more reminiscent of s1 magic tricks was Jesus there in s1?
I don’t have a clear answer for this but I thought I’d share some of the questions that have been floating around in my head
But the next time we see him we are up in space and the walkway is split
Tumblr media
If this is the end of s1 represented by the body swap - things are left up in the air (up in space) afterwards. Heaven’s planned timeline is on unstable “ground” and has been cut in half - they can’t move forward with their version of Armageddon anymore - because Adam has reset it (i’ll go more into detail about the right side further down)
So Heaven pivots this plan and throws it in the garbage which leads us the next time we see him
Tumblr media
it is quite literally going into the garbage - yes I know the tartan hills are a reference for a scene in the show but you know what it also reminds me of - land fields - even down to the uncovered trash records.
But not even 2 seconds later he is back again
Tumblr media
Everything seems back to normal including the things they seem to have left behind (tank and pickled herring) - they are walking on the ground going forward once more.
Aziraphale and Crowley are not apart of this line anymore - haven’t been since the Bullet Catch. They are sitting above Soho in their own little world with hearts all around them - god they are so in love
I see this scene as the era (is 4 years an era?whatever) of bliss - of being openly a duo and not associated with Heaven or Hell. In the background though you have the implication that Heaven is planning something during this time that is then brought back to the attention of the screen when they have this new altered plan
but begs the question has Jesus been to Soho?
back to following him around though - we now see him in the back of the line
Tumblr media
a weird place for the literal main character of the Second Coming. Unless something is wrong? Lost track of him perhaps? I mean he is quite literally hidden behind the tank. But who is leading this line now?
Tumblr media
Aziraphale and Crowley, who have now been brought back into the fold - fitting that this is the scene we see Gabriel coming down the elevator. But you know what has entered the line as well? First of all Saraqael which makes sense they’re a new character in s2 and seem to be the one that is truly watching Aziraphale and Crowley. But also the Coffee has entered the chat and stays.
Now the next time we see Jesus is interesting
Tumblr media
he’s right up front with Aziraphale and Crowley - big difference from where he just was.
This could mean a lot of things. Aziraphale and Crowley are the ones to find and bring him forward. Jesus has been chilling out in the background - perhaps wanting to get in contact with A&C. Or maybe it’s a simple explanation of it’s just getting closer to his time to shine.
He pretty much stays up towards the front for the rest of the time - here he is in the theatre
Tumblr media
Interesting that they are back on this unstable path again that we then have a jump into the next part - which seems even more unstable
Tumblr media
but it also reminds me of something else we seen earlier
Tumblr media
that left over walkway still connected to a gold walkway (I told you I’d come back to it)
Is this a reference to Adam still getting his happy ending? Have some people already made it to the Holy Land only to have it taken away maybe?
I’m not quite sure what to make of this but I wanted to include it.
but back to them going towards the throne room - we are back on this unstable ground that is hazardously sat upon what might the remnants of the old plan - we can literally feel this with the shakes on the screen because we are in a first person shot
then we go back to the normal 2Dness and everything looks fine - if we ignore the giant ship sticking out of the side of the pile - a ship our characters can’t see
So maybe the Second Coming plan isn’t as stable as Heaven would like you to believe and the pile, the walkway, the whole plan is about to be crumbling down

@its-tea-time-darling thank you, actually, for driving me to headcanons again, because you’ve inspired one that I have to talk about more —
Gally is ABSOLUTELY the guy who calls someone if they so much as text him more than two times. Especially if they are paragraphs, he’s just going to call someone. Some people like this/aren’t bothered by this most of the time/know this about him and accept it (I’d say probably Teresa, Alby, and Frypan respectively) but everyone else is absolutely fed up with it (Thomas doesn’t answer, Newt answers but reminds him that he was texting for a reason, Minho straight up declines the call and continues to bombard him, Brenda likes to answer his call and start saying the most fucked up shit just to make him stammer and wish he’d never called).
Minho responds to someone with memes almost always. He has a meme or a gif for literally every single situation. Eventually though, whenever someone has bad news he will respond with “BUMMER” but then send an actual “ah that sucks man,” after because personal growth. He does however love to vent in text and will also send paragraphs of funny rants about his day.
Thomas sends paragraphs. All the time. Where three words would suffice he texts out fifteen. He also is the one who asks too many questions and if the group is meeting up somewhere he always has to ask again what time/where/dress code/parking etc. (Brenda actually secretly really appreciates this). He also sends out videos and articles but he’s not a big meme person (he’s never sure he’s using em right but he laughs at Minho’s and Brenda’s).
Newt doesn’t actually text the group that often and usually just texts people directly, but he does pin things if the app they’re using has that capability/answers Thomas’s questions and pins it (or reminds him that it’s already pinned, ffs, can’t you read?). He occasionally sends pictures of what he’s doing and has to be reminded to text someone where he’s going so that if something happens people know where he is because he often goes out on his own.
Teresa sends news articles, and other things she thinks others might enjoy learning about. (Alby and Thomas always feel the need to actually reply instead of just react like “this is neat!” Which actually Teresa really enjoys). Teresa also sends a bulk paragraph of plans or is the one to initiate “okay, we talked about hanging out, but what is the plan” and forces people to actually commit to things.
Alby has not mastered that certain apps are for certain things and always tries to talk about subjects that are in other apps in the wrong one. Do not start a serious conversation in the Instagram group chat, that’s for texting, the insta is for memes, articles, videos, etc., not convos. Facebook messenger is for meetups in person, discord is for FaceTime calls, etc. and he always mixes them up and someone (Newt or Teresa) usually gently delete and redirect him every time or don’t even say anything and just ignore it.
Brenda, like Minho, knows her way around memes and gifs and could be a comedy/influencer if she wanted to but she has no desire to post every day. She and Minho would have absolutely killed it on vine. She texts a lot and seems to know how to keep a conversation alive if it seems like it’s stalling.
Frypan is typically more of a responder than one to start the conversation. He actually engages with a rant and says things like “that’s rough!” Or whatever and also reminds everyone to text when they get home from an event safely. He actually has the most active social media following because he’s starting a restaurant and always posts videos about his new food and things like that and it looks delicious. He didn’t really mean to get big on Instagram it just kind of happened because his food looks good and he just wanted to share his food with his friends or his home recipes but things spread much quicker than he expected outside his own page. He’s known for being very wholesome and having super delicious food.
And maybe I’ll do a follow up about whose location is shared with who but I think that’s all I got for now 😂

@alwayschasingrainbows hi hi thank you sm for all the questions <33 I appreciate u sm ik u accidentally asked on my main but I’m gonna answer them here :))) also thank you for sending ur own answers too I loved reading them and learning more about you and found them super interesting!!!!! <3
1. What is your favourite childhood movie and why?
Strangely I’d never been big on movies or tv as a kid or even now (I want to get more into it now but my adhd still says no) my mum even told me that when I was young she could sit my brothers in front of the tv to be entertained but not me, I’d lose interest hella quickly… probs the first time I got into anything tv related was when I was 10-12 and was invested in the drama of the tv series “dance academy” on abc3 Ive actually met the producer! other than that I didn’t mind a reality show as a kid but then most of that wore off after I studied media in school and we went as live audience to “reality” shows and I realised how set up everything was and couldn’t care less afterward -
If I had to pick any movie that I loved and that still strangely brings me some sort of comfort.. it would have to be the 2010 Jaden Smith Version of Karate Kid ahahaha idk why (well I kinda do there’s lots of reasons but then I’d go on another whole tangent so I won’t) I was like 11 when it came out so I think that can count :) I can weirdly watch it over and over whereas most other movies I watch once and never again.
2. Do you have a favourite book or book series and why?
I talked about this in some previous posts on here but my fav book of all time is “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman !!!!! I also am very passionate about “The uncaged sky: my 804 days in an Iranian Prison” by Kylie Moore-Gilbert (the audiobook version narrated by Kylie herself) and fav wholesome series has gotta be the Heartstopper graphic novels!!!! AHAHA again I could go on and on and on about why I love them all individually as they are all VERY DIFFERENT from each other, but I’ll literally be writing like 3 giant essays so I’ll stop myself now!! I will say, while it’s important we consume and love media that we don’t relate to to broaden our perspectives of life, it’s obviously easy to consume and love media that we see a small part of ourselves in and think this has a lot to do with why I love these so much!
3. The colour that makes you happy
Probably a dark green which reminds me of the rainforest:))))
4. Your favourite cereal?
I honestly don’t eat cereal and never really have :,) cereals were kinda demonised in my house as a child (almond mum tings?) but then eventually they weren’t anymore but I never rlly enjoyed their taste - this is such a sad answer but probably Kelloggs sultans bran LMAO. I haven’t had it for years but I rlly don’t mind it … I think it’s probably very different to American cereals cause it’s not sweet … one time I went to an American food store here in Aus and everything I tried taste like pure sugar and hurt my stomach so bad LOL never again I’m hoping and praying that Americans have other food options not featured in this store 😭 cos I understand some of it as a one off dessert but like everyday breakfast omg noooo I hope ur stomachs are ok
5. Your favourite gemstone?
I’m ngl I don’t have a super passionate answer about this one off the top of my head (sorry I’m such a boring person!!) I think they’re all so pretty!!! I gave them a google to try decide which I like most but it’s impossible .. I think I love any of the blue ones!! I’ll tell you one thing I rlly don’t love the yellow topaz cos I’m born in Nov and I see it on everything and I swear it’s the worst one imo like liteeally any other one I love! But I can still appreciate it ig :,)
6. Any activity you liked as a child and do you still like it now?
My biggest pain as a child was athletics!!!! I used to be competitive in 100m, 200m, long jump and triple jump :) sadly I no longer do athletics or compete but my passion for running/competitiveness lived on and by 15 I ran my first half marathon.. but from 17 onwards I got quite sick and was unable to run (minus a few little months of getting back into it over the yrs only to have to stop again) and now I’m 24 and finally getting back into it again.. kinda.. cos my health is still kinda shit but I’ll go for a lot shorter runs a couple times a week and hoping and praying my health gets better so I can proper get back into it.. not to compete anymore just for myself cos it’s one of the only things in this life that brings me joy :) I’ve also always loved taking photos although I’m not professional or anything it’s just been a fun little hobby I guess.. I have a few diff cameras but in currently trying (failing) to save for this new different one.. just waiting for my uni scholarship money this tri bc I’m too unwell to use it to go on a holiday atm I’m gonna use it to buy this camera I’ve been wanting oop :,) I’m a much bigger a fan of film photography over digital but the camera I’m planning on buying is kinda a combo of both eg. It produces images of a similar vibe to film photography but is actually digital so u don’t have to worry about wasting film :) it’s also a point and shoot, super small and can be taken anywhere which is much better than my current digital camera which is bulky and has a million settings idk how to use lol.
7. Have you ever read Lucy Maud Montgomery books?
I was about to say no I’ve never heard of her but then I googled it and saw Anne of Green Gables which I read when I was like literally 8… and as I’ve said in a previous post I never remember what I’ve read even if I read it two minutes ago bc adhd tings but I always remember how it made me feel - and I remember really enjoying it! Maybe I should give it a reread cause I barely remember what it was about :,) as for the rest of her books I don’t think I’ve read any! I love so much that you have a fandom page omgggg I wish I was that passionate about something !!!! PLS PLS give me recommendations if someone were only to read 1 of her books .. okay maybe 2 for now!!!!! I might actually give them a read :)))
Thank you thank you again for all ur kinds words I hope u have the most amazing day/night <33333 I appreciate u a lot!

Genuine question, how did you figure out or realize the whole being butch thing? What does being butch mean to you?
idk if it was like… figure out? more so just putting a name to something i’ve always felt or known about myself. i came out as a lesbian, then i came out as nb, then i was like well i want gender affirming care so that must mean i am Trans™️, & it’s like… none of those words or kind of… vibes (lol sorry) quite fit? i don’t feel like a cis lesbian, & i actually kind of despise non-binary as a concept (don’t send asks abt this i won’t answer them lol, do ur own thing if u love it that’s cool); i think for me personally Transness is a little too serious & intense & limiting to how i feel. & im a white afab person in a smaller body, & honestly…….. we are often the wooooorst demographic of trans ppl lmao so i just didn’t even rly like some spaces i was in. i got the most important gender affirming care i wanted, i moved & i got married, i got to work remotely etc
& so just sitting with all of that it was like. ok well a lot of neoliberal queer spaces piss me the fuck off; i’m not cis, but i’m not TRANS in the way a lot of ppl (very validly) feel; i do Not like nb. i’d read stone butch blues before, i have a degree in critical theory where i worked a loooot w queer theory, obviously i’ve written abt queerness for ages lol. so then i was just like ah. butch. dyke. YAH! sweet. 100/10 feels amazing i love it
& i think for me i love those words most bc they’re rooted in really radical belief that i have. they carry an ethic with them that, at its best & most intersectional ofc, i want to act on, all the time. i want to show up for people & be protective & tough & strong but i also so deeply want to be nurturing & nourishing. i want to allow myself to be nourished & cared for. i think it feels rly wonderful to have a word for transgressive gender that sums it all up bc people lived it before me. they made that very specific & particular space to experience femininity in a way that doesn’t feel like a noose.
i think also butchness is so expansive! something that never sat right w me abt the way we talk abt transness in the west is that i don’t think there are ‘pre’ & ‘post’ transition selves. like… i’ve never been Not Me? like i came out of the womb a dyke. all i did my entire childhood is run around in the mountains, catalogue leaves, play w my dog, read nancy drew, & avidly watch + play any women’s soccer i could. i loved to fish & mountain bike, i grew up in the desert so gardening to me was a miracle. i never cared abt gender at all beyond like ‘well i guess i’m a girl & the women i admire just won a world cup, they’re badass’ & that was it. i liked boys clothes bc they were practical & felt better, but i just. didn’t think about it. ppl called me a tomboy which was fine, i liked scout in to kill a mockingbird so whatever. but i never felt “non-binary” & i certainly never felt like a boy.
& i am… still just like that lmao. i hated my boobs, point blank day 1 lol, but that doesn’t have to mean i’m trans, or that i’ve somehow changed in a way that requires separation from who i’ve been my whole life. i HATE the language of ‘dead/lived’ name; i hate the weird expectation that u should allow the state to have all of ur gender stuff on record (no fucking thank you, y’all can keep my legal name & i will be flying under the radar lol). so i think western transness rly just. irritates me. doesn’t fit. hasn’t ever fit.
so butchness is like. i am 8 year old jude, i’m just older now. if this makes sense ur butch lmao but. it’s this rly free space to play w masculinity in a way that doesn’t necessitate western transness, & also doesn’t necessitate a separation from maternalism, which i fundamentally believe in. i don’t even rly think of my own care as “gender affirming” & more just like… essence affirming. i didn’t want top surgery so my body could be read as male; i wanted it so i could look like me. i want my clothes to feel & fit in a Very particular way bc that’s how i like them. it’s abt practicality, efficiency, comfort.
& lastly to me butchness has a remarkable space for tenderness that masculinity on its own just cannot hold. like. it’s abt being protective & strong, sure, but it’s in service of others. always always always. so sometimes that looks like communicating calmly, sometimes that looks like infinite small acts of service for ur friends or ur partner. when i think of settling into myself it’s more about returning to who i knew i was when i was a kid, when i was the only person my dog liked & how it felt to sit on the swings when the sun was setting after the monsoon; it’s allowing myself to love like that — caring, & quiet, & full.
ultimately to me butchness is about devotion, more than anything in the world. devoted to safety, devoted to community. no one is devoted the way dykes are bc it’s how we survive. it’s how we have always survived — the steadfastness, the faith, the joy, even thru suffering, to not be boxed in. to help each other. to be funny & kind & thoughtful & not reject the absolute best parts of womanhood for the sake of a western box. to demand care. it’s so beautiful. devotion.
tldr it’s the best

Oh my gosh, after your answer I read through some things in the 🖤dark au Tag and I love it!!! Add that to my fav list definitely.
To the question of my fav characters (I’m just going x-men):
I love gruff Logan (best mixed with a cuty-pie sweet reader)
The same goes for sabretooth (specifically the way you write him)
I have a soft spot for dad!magneto and older siblings Wanda and Pietro (I especially keep thinking about the angst potential if the kid is for some reason not a mutant - or at least doesn’t seem to be one)
I also really like Rouge, Kurt and kitty. They’re just all so neat and have their own sort of charm, especially Kurt since as a fellow German I always find it funny when I see/read his accent
Also even though I haven’t gotten a lot of info about him I like Gambit. I just think he’s neat.
One more thing though…reading your Dark Au I really got inspired and I kind of want to try writing a Drabble/short about the four (Kurt, Kitty, Pietro and Reader) on the run once they realize something’s wrong but I wanted to ask for your permission first… I would send it to you once/if I finish I’d sent it to you (I won’t post it on my own blog or something don’t worry)
- ❤️ Anon (with lots of love)
I agree! Gruff Logan, especially as a dad, is best. Then gruff Sabretooth (you like how I write him?! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I tried my best!) Dad Magneto is fun, especially when Pietro and Wanda are involved, and they all make for one weird, over-protective family. Rogue, Kitty, and Kurt are awesome, i love the idea of them having a small trio when no one else is around or when they're out and about. They seem to go well together. And Gambit is fun, too. Suave Southern guy, who uses playing cards to blow stuff up, is Cajun, and is interested in the only other Southern X-Men. (It's cool, that you're from Germany!) (I myself am a Southerner of the United States) (so I'm in the south-eastern area).
You have my permission to write for the 🖤Dark AU, ❤ Anon. I am excited to see what you make!😊 And hey, if anyone else wants to write for this au, or another au of mine, all you have to do is ask permission. I'll likely say yes. It's not a guarantee, but I'll at least take a look, okay? All I ask, is that you keep it platonic. I am a platonic yandere writer, so the aus aren't romantic. Other than that, I'm fine with most things. I keep Reader gender-neutral, but that is so everyone can read my works and be Reader. Any gender or sexuality can read them, enjoy them, and emerge themselves in the platonic yandere love.
For you (thank you😊):❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💖

Spread love to fanfic writers! Answer these questions about your fanfics then send this to 5 other fanfic writers Name a fic you loved writing the most. Name a fic that others loved but you didn’t care for as much. Name a fic you had the most fun writing. Name a fic that you are the most proud of. Name a fic that you wish had gotten more recognition. Name your happiest/saddest/most comedic fics!
Ahhh, tìrey!!😩💕 tysm for sending this in! I hope you’re doing well, mama<3
“A fic that I loved writing the most”:
Tbh probably “how he treats you” bc I could js write down whatever I wanted wit no plot😩✋🏽 yes pls!
“A fic that others loved but you didn’t care for as much”:
Yall..don’t hate me for this one.. but it’s gotta be the “predator/prey” fic I recently posted. I know it took awhile for me to even post it in the first place, and I appreciate the hype it got, but I’m not a fan of it unfortunately 😔✋🏽 I feel like it’s poorly written and I couldn’t fix it no matter how hard I tried💔(aka writers block)
“A fic you had the most fun with writing”:
Oml first fic that comes to mind is “take a seat,yawne”
Like it was something that came to me so quickly and naturally and the way I wrote neteyam in this always makes me 🤭 whenever I reread it. Expect more fics of him bc whew 😩😍
“A fic you’re the most proud of”:
Mmmm..I’m proud of all of my works(for the most part😭) so this is hard to say. But probably this prompt for kinkmas, like the way I connected the two prompts tg was js so mhm😩..✨big brain✨ of me.
“A fic you wish had gotten more recognition”:
Oml right off the bat I’m sayin these two fics: “one”, “two”
These two fics bc they’re my only two wlw fics (for now🤭) and I really loved writing these two fics just to see them get the hype they didn’t deserve. Kinda hurts my heart but it’s ok😔💔
“A happy/sad/funny fic of yours”:
Ok lemme think😭 for my happiest fic I’d say it’s “how he treats you” basically only bc of the fluff that’s in it, but trust there’s more fluff fics to come from me💕.
My saddest fic is most definitely, “with time” ts was so hard for me to write 1.bc it was my first angst fic and 2. Bc its was such a sad idea like😭- but overall I really enjoyed writing angst, and will definitely continue writing it.
And finally my most comedic fic is probably this prompt for kinkmas, only bc of the one dialogue between lo’ak and spider😭 it made me giggle writing it.
Thank you again for sending this in, tìrey pookie<3 it made me so much more excited for when I write more fics, bc I alr know I have sm more to write/do in general. I’m going thru a really bad writers block rn. I hate I’m not being as consistent as a was before. I’m truly trying my hardest to push thru it, but it’s just exhausting. Regardless tho, I’m trying for yall anyway, bc I love how you guys love my works no matter what. Love you all 😚💕

Hey! Promise I’m not coming into your ask box to cause trouble, I just saw your most recent post and that you were wanting to talk about it so I wanted to get your perspective on my thoughts about this s7 spec. It is a lovely thought, Buck getting reassurance from Eddie of his importance in his and Chris’ lives, and I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen (probably will based on the Shoulder pic we saw). However…it’s been done before. What I would find way more interesting than Buck being told he matters again and that being that is Buck actually realizing and believing it, maybe from a call or some other activity. And I’d really like that to be it lol, instead of it being recycled again in a future episode. People like Eddie, Maddie, and even Chris can tell him how much he means to them until the cows come home, but Buck needs to start believing it himself. IRL, ppl get tired of having to repeat themselves to somebody who is chronically insecure but not doing anything to change it (not saying Buck is, but he sure is portrayed that way in fanfiction). So I’m hoping the writers empower Buck to look in the mirror and see himself as the good flawed human he is rather than a massive fuck-up.
(and maybe there are scenes in the future where Buck is reassuring the Diaz boys how important they are to him, and they’re not an inconvenience no matter what’s going on in his life because that would feel realistic too. I know Buck shows them throw his actions, but it would be delicious to see it actually said onscreen)
Anyway, no pressure replying!
hi!
i am completely with you on the whole rehashing the whole eddie/chris/maddie reassuring buck of it all, and how it's been done before (because it has, a lot - like i said in that post, we've seen eddie tell buck this over and over again, but he just doesn't get it). i do think that we will get to see those kind of scenes/moments again though, especially if that one buck and eddie pic is anything to go by.
what i'm hoping for is that this time it'll lead to buck actually, conciously listening and taking in what it means and, y'know, finally stop questioning it or having this underlying fear of being abandoned etc. i don't think any one of those three conversations will magically solve anything for buck (and it's not on maddie, eddie or chris to solve it to begin with, even though their support is important - like you said, buck needs to come to this conclusion himself), but i think, depending on the context, the conversations can work as a final push to have him realize that his place is permanent.
it'll just get old and boring to see him have a breakdown again over the same thing and have eddie tell him again and again that he's important, and then rinse and repeat a few episodes later. he truly needs to sit down and deal with his shit, so to speak. i would love for his therapist to make a comeback, so that he can deal with his fears with professional help. really get to the nitty gritty of it all. that'd be 10/10 in my book, tbh.
and yes, fully agree on having buck actually tell both eddie and chris what they mean to him, and what an essential part they are in his life. i think they'd need to hear it, too, even if he does, as you said, show it a lot. just hearing it is nice too, sometimes, y'know.
anyways, hopefully this is somewhat coherent, i'm answering whilst making dinner, so it might be a bit all over the place. but thank you for sending me this!

Hi
After reading your rules I’d like to request a Geralt x male reader (cuz the last one you wrote was AMAZING)
Could it be about male reader taking care of a hurt Geralt and cooking for him in his little cottage
The reader could be a magician with healing abilities maybe
Reunited
Fandom: The Witcher
Pairing: Geralt of Rivia x Male!Reader
Warnings: Swearing, descriptions of gore
Author's note: Because who doesn't love banter with Jaskier? Still looking for requests, people, keep them coming.
I don't own The Witcher. Pls don't come after me.
Do not plagiarize or translate any of my works or their included assets.
“Geralt, where are we going- Geralt! Geralt. Geralt, where are we going?”
Geralt sighs. He resists the urge to ram Roach into Jaskier, send the bard flying off the road into the lake next to the road. It’s so, so tempting. Just a nudge and he would have absolute silence.
Alas, it would take too much time. And Geralt is too desperate to see his lover to sacrifice a couple seconds. So for now, Jaskier isn’t chin deep in muddy water and Geralt is dead set on the tiny cottage ahead.
The house is painted in the sun’s dying hues, twilight fast approaching. Blues and purples fall across the flimsy roof that Geralt has repaired so many times, highlighting every little detail. Be it the garden bursting with herbs and flowers leading to the home or the engravings on the door, Geralt can notice it all, made even more beautiful with the colors shining down onto it.
Jaskier rambles on, suddenly pausing as he glances at the witcher. He whips his head back after the short look, an odd emotion sparking on Geralt’s face. It’s one Jaskier knows well, but had never seen on his companion’s face before- love.
Where are they going that would erase Geralt’s emotionless (and somewhat pissed off) stare?
The question bounces around in Jaskier’s mind, unable to be quelled until it finds a satisfactory answer. It doesn’t stop as Geralt jumps off Roach, or when he ties the horse to a worn-down hitching post with a whispered promise of returning, or when he hesitates for a fraction of a second before banging his fist on the door.
“Geralt, what-”
“Hush, bard.” Geralt grumbles, trying to pick up any sound of footsteps from inside the house.
“But-” Jaskier persists, only to be interrupted by Geralt’s hand on his mouth. It covers his entire face, but Geralt isn’t complaining.
“Mm-mmmm-mm,” Can a witcher’s eyes roll out of their skull? Geralt entertains the thought as he rolls his eyes for what seems like the millionth time.
Just as Jaskier thinks to lick the hand over his mouth, the door opens.
You lean on the doorknob, dressed in loose trousers and an untucked shirt that is surely stained with ingredients from the dinner you had been preparing. The strings of the v-neck hang down, revealing mere inches of your chest. They’re enough to drive Geralt crazy.
“Hello, my love,” the witcher murmurs, your face lighting up when you realize who it is. He steps forward, an almost-unnoticeable limp to it that you’ll berate him for later. For now, though, you’re happy to be herded into your lover’s arms, your lips meeting in a soft kiss. Geralt’s eyes flutter shut, a miniscule grin spreading across his face. You lift yourself up onto your tiptoes to steal another kiss, teeth clashing against each other. You can’t stop smiling, and neither can he. It’s been too long without seeing one another for your kisses to be orderly.
You’re both soaking in the familiarity of it all, basking in the light of reunited love as small pecks are given and received. It’s all so welcome to you, so safe to Geralt. A place to put down the swords and embrace in front of the fireplace.
“What in the ever-loving fuck is going on here, Geralt?” An exclamation sounds from behind you. You quickly spin out of the witcher’s embrace, curious as to who he brought along.
There stands a shocked-looking man, his vibrant clothes blending in perfectly with your garden. A lute is strapped to his back, and he has the hands of a musician. He can’t be more than 20.
“Um, yes. Hello, fair stranger. Love the hair, highlights your eyes. But Geralt, what?” The boy’s volume steadily increases throughout his rant, panic seeping into his eyes.
“Jaskier.” Geralt responds, an edge to his tone.
“Thank you, Jaskier. I don’t believe we’ve met- Geralt?”
He sighs, his nostrils flaring with annoyance. He’s really regretting not using the lake to his advantage now.
“Y/n, this is Jask. He’s a bard, he travels with me. Gods know why. Jask, Y/n. My lover of five years.”
The bard is silent for a minute, his eyes practically bulging out of his head as he stares at you unabashedly. You can hear the frogs croaking in the background, announcing the approach of twilight. Tree branches rustle in the slight breeze, the occasional leaf swooping by. All is silent.
“Five years,” Jaskier whimpers. He sounds almost betrayed, but no mind is paid to it as Geralt stares at something beyond you with amused eyes. His hands still cradle your waist, a comfortable amount of pressure being exerted.
“Is he ok?” You whisper in Geralt’s ear, trying to see over his shoulder. Your foot starts tapping on the ground, arousing dust with your nervous habit.
Geralt immediately drops the half smirk. If you’re concerned, it’s time to stop.
“Jask, you’ll catch flies. Don’t worry, y/n, he’ll be fine.” The witcher throws a glare behind him that seems to scream don’t mess this up.
“Um, yes. Yes.” Jaskier forces out and stumbles to the door. He doesn’t think he’s ever been this shocked- Geralt has had a lover this entire time. It’s not even that the bard is disappointed (Geralt isn’t really his type), but he always thought the man averse to love. When really, he’s been in what appears to be a very loving relationship for five fucking years.
What in the absolute fuck is going on?
----**----
It’s almost midnight, the fire crackling as it dies down. You’re wrapped in a hug with Geralt, Jaskier upstairs in a nest of blankets. The second you fed the boy and gave him the quilts he was dead to the world- Geralt must have been overworking him.
It’s a calm environment without the enthusiastic bard. Sitting in Geralt’s lap, his arms around you, you have never felt more at peace. Warmth spreads through you, the atmosphere changing to one of relaxation and love.
“I missed you,” Geralt mumbles into your cropped hair, nuzzling into the familiar scent of lavender.
“I missed you as well, love.” You murmur in return. You feel his lips press against your forehead, slowly migrating down until he reaches your neck. It tickles, causing a smile to appear on your face.
“Geralt, stop that.” You squirm away from him only to be dragged back into his arms. The witcher chuckles as he keeps at it, completely disregarding your previous comment.
“Stop it-” You’re cut off by your own laughing, Geralt’s grin growing with your volume.
When your lover has finally decided to knock it off, you fall back against his sturdy chest, breathless from the exertion. You would have laid there blissfully until morning, breathing in the smell of sweat, blood and Geralt-
But you hear a faint groan.
You shoot up, climbing out of Geralt’s lap while maintaining eye contact.
“Where is it?” You demand, knowing he won’t give any information to you unless you pry.
Geralt is too tired for this. He just wants you in his arms, to hug you tight and block you from the monsters out there.
However, he’s known you for seven years. You won’t stop until he gives in.
“My hip,” he grumbles. His hand lands on the exact area as you rush around the cottage gathering the needed supplies to pull his shirt up. Blood is leaking out of the wound steadily, a red patch on his clothing providing further proof that he strained it a bit much. 
Somehow, seeing the cut makes it so much worse. All the hidden pain he’s been bottling up since he knocked on your door tumbles out. He grits his teeth against the rush of stabbing sensations, praying you’ll be able to take some of the pain away.
When you kneel in front of him, you’re already mumbling under your breath, elder words scattered throughout the chant. Your hands are surrounded by a golden glow, held just above Geralt’s wound. Slowly, slowly, blood starts to backtrack, the red drips across his leg and side retreating back inside Geralt’s body. Once the liquid is pushed back in (sparing no amount of odd squelching sounds you could live without), the actual cut starts to close up. It’s sewn together with threads of gold, fading into the witcher’s skin after providing a pulsing glow.
Geralt will never get tired of watching the process unfold. Your hands, drifting apart and back together as you handle his wounds with a grace that he could never even hope to reach. It’s beautiful- you’re beautiful.
Once you finish, the golden clouds retreat back into the air, becoming mere wisps that float about the cottage. You stand shakily, gathering the bandages beside you and taping them on to Geralt’s now healed skin. Just as a precaution. Once that’s done, you flutter around the house, putting the materials back as you try to steady your shaky legs. Magic always drains you a fair bit.
Geralt is well aware of this, so as you return to the couch and sit next to him, he drags himself up and reaches for you. A rare moment of vulnerability from the witcher- how can you pass this up?
So you welcome his warmth, radiating from his body as he pulls you into his chest. Illuminated by the dying lights of the fire, the fatigue seeping into both of you, you revel in the peace, Geralt’s love the last thing you feel before you drift into sleep.

(personal post, I would love some feedback from the autistic community please)
Okay, so often I will get private messages asking for my advice, or just to be heard and given some support. If the person is polite, and asks before sending me their personal trauma, I will be happy to help. But I’m also very conscious about people trying to draw me in a friendship, because it has happened before, so I will share no personal information, and make sure I give short answers to any non-trauma related question.
Recently, there was a person asking for support a 2-3 times, and this was also okay, as long as the person is polite and doesn’t treat me as replacement for a friend, I’m happy to help too. I also have a very bad short-term memory, and generally forget what anyone has been asking about.
Until a day ago, I get a message ‘is your last post about me?’
I immediately felt uncomfortable, because I didn’t even know who this person was, and I got the idea that we have a very different view of what we are to each other. I reassured them it has nothing to do with them, and checked what the post was even about. It was about friendship. I immediately explained I have a bad memory, and I made clear I never look for friends online, because it’s too risky - wanting to clear the air and make sure we’re on the same page, we’re just strangers who shared a few messages.
However this didn’t go well, because they started asking why I didn’t want online friends, and I found myself extremely uncomfortable, as I generally won’t share any private information, and this is private information. So I only replied ‘I have ptsd’, and hoped that would be the end of it. This only caused a long message asking for explanation, and them saying ‘well I won’t know what you have ptsd from’, which finally made my discomfort peak, I was being pressed for private information I was obviously unwilling to share, did everything to avoid it, and it made me stressed out, on high alert, and finally I decided to withdraw from the conversation. Regardless of how badly I’d want to help someone, feeling this awful was not worth it, and I know nobody would want to be help if the person helping was paying a high price for doing it.
Leaving the conversation didn’t help. This person kept sending messages persistently, first apologizing for numerous times, then asking me if I’m ‘giving them the silent treatment’. I felt gasligthed, you can’t give the silent treatment to strangers. It’s normal for strangers to exit a conversation when they no longer want to talk. Me withdrawing was me setting a boundary. Leaving is a boundary.
And then, the person started sending long messages about how they don’t know what’s going on anymore, tumblr is showing me online but I’m not replying, they revealed that they’re autistic, they’re actually being triggered by this because their fp was also doing it to them, they felt I was triggering them on purpose and that if I didn’t want to talk anymore, I should just tell them.
This worked. My guilt was triggered immediately, because I know the pain of being abandoned by a special person, and I quickly wrote a reply ‘I don’t want to talk anymore.’, believing this would settle it. It did not settle it. I was immediately asked for explanation, and was informed that my behaviour was ‘passive aggressive’, that I was being unreasonable because before this, I called them nice and polite.
At this point I absolutely felt manipulated, because having my own words used against me, them learning what will trigger my guilt then working to trigger more of it, that is emotional manipulation, that isn’t something a non-malignant person would do. I wrote back ‘I feel uncomfortable. If I feel uncomfortable, I have to leave. I’m sorry. Goodbye.’
Of course, I got back a long message about how I’m being suspicious and cruel, how I triggered them on purpose after I knew they were autistic, and how I took it out on them because they weren’t able to ‘read my mind’. There was also a bit about how I wasn’t a safe person, and they were asking out of curiosity alone.
So, I just need a clarification, is anything here possibly related to autism? Because that is something I don’t know enough about, though I don’t believe this type of behaviour could be associated with it, since the autistic people I know are kinder than most of the population. Is it possible autism was mixed into this conversation because they understood I would react to it and it would trigger my guilt?

hiiiii im just wondering when your commissions will be open again? sorry if you already answered this!
Hello there 😊 No need to be sorry at all, my dear, even if a question has been asked, I don’t mind answering it again, in most cases! As far as when commissions will reopen, the short answer is not as soon as I’d like. In all honesty, worst case scenario, it won’t be until September. I mean, I will be honest and say that I hope it will be earlier, but that’s probably the best line to go by, unless I desperately need money before then.
The longer answer requires parting the curtain just a little bit. I always try to be really transparent with all you lovely readers about my writing process, about my projects and the things I have on the go, so I don’t really mind doing so here. In good news, I’ve finished both commissions I had owing this weekend, on my days off. Now that those are done, I’m moving on to my do-to list for writing, which is as below. I'm not rushing or overloading myself on the below - I expect a lot from myself, but I am realizing I need some rest and relaxation (or at least time to eat and sleep every day) as well.
I’m working on writing a long-fic that I’m really excited about. It’s a self-ship fic, yeah, but it’s also letting me work with some friend’s really amazing OC’s or self-inserts and it’s been something I’ve been really wanting to get the chance to seriously work on. I’ve been working on it, writing little scenes from it here and there, so now it’s having the fun of doing it from the beginning and stringing everything together. So, I’m treating it like a commission and making it my focus – however, full transparency, I work 50 hours this upcoming week and the large majority of it is in the pharmacy, where we’re not allowed to sit at all during our shifts (because it might make the customers think we’re lazy) so there’s very, very little chance I’ll be able to finish the fic this week due to exhaustion and pain. I’m aiming for having it done within the next two weeks though, ideally, because it really is something I’m just that excited about writing.
Once I’m done with that fic, I’m taking about a week to reply to dm’s and email’s from friends and to send the fic to get approval for posting from the friend's featured in it. It takes about that long because I do write novels in reply to people I love talking to, sorry about that to all those lovelies who talk to me. I’d also, during this time, like to try making a Discord account and start trying to beat some of my shyness and get into fandom spaces to meet and talk to people, make fandom even more enjoyable for me 😊
After that, I’m concentrating really hard on getting the rest of my queue built on the blog, a mixture of one-shots, drabbles, headcanons, and such. I’d like to have at least 100 posts ready, that way I can post twice a day for 50 days, which buys me lots of free time, without any worries about the blog, to work on the things below. Headcanon posts don’t take a real long time to write, at most half an hour to an hour for the most intricate, drabbles at most two hours, so I can get a queue built pretty quickly thankfully, with the one-shots being the things that take me the longest. As teased in the previous post, I’ll also be giving you guys rewritten, updated one-shots from a years old smut collection in that queue.
Once that is done, because it was largely agreed upon that many potential commissioners would feel a lot better about commissioning if I had examples of what they could get, I would like to write examples of each type of commission I accept - I had played around with the idea of using some of the commissions already finished, but to be honest, I don't feel good about everyone being able to have access to something someone paid to have, all their own. However, this also does take some time and to ensure they’re all the same quality I give to people who actually do commission, I want to not rush them.
When that is done, I want to focus on the Patreon I keep saying is coming. My plans are that, for the people buying in on tiers to support my work, I’ll be posting one long one-shot story a month. I have some fun ideas for potential other Patreon perks, because I want at least two perks for the Patreons. So my time will be spent getting at least three months ready for that.
Once that is done, I’ll restock the queue and reopen commissions! And by that time, I'll be approaching the slow season, more than likely so I'll be better able to keep to deadlines and stay up with the multiple things on the go.

About me
So, I thought I’d probably be best to just make a pinned post with some info so I’m not just a void who throws art a a wall. (I’m probably gonna edit as things change) But here we go:
My tiktok is dyoueven
My instagram is dyouevendraw
My name is D, sometimes people still call me Fay, I don’t mind that either
I’m 22 years old
I use they/them pronouns, I’m fine with he/him too. I’d call myself nonbinary or even agender, leaning towards the masc side. It’s a struggle
Additionally to that, I am ace and my romantic attraction is 🤷🏼. I like androgyny and femininity if that says anything lmao
I have a hypermobilty condition, thus, my physical health is very inconsistent. Sometimes I feel fine for weeks, sometimes I can barely move my arms. Luckily, I don’t dislocate easily, I mostly get joint pain, pinched nerves, random bruises and badly healing wounds. Additionally, I seem to have a mild variant of long covid, which is making my lungs weak, so sometimes physical activities winds me badly even though it’s not hard work.
I am autistic and only found out around 2 years ago, thus, school burned me out! I was bullied by my teachers and they ignored all the signs of a struggling student, so I developed bad social anxiety (added by other events with former friends and general genetics probably). I took a year off of art to focus on getting a better mindset, and I guess I’ve been back since this year.
I am a clumsy and unlucky person, that’s why I say I am like Xie Lian a lot (send me a Hua Cheng)
I like k-pop. Currently, I like BTS, TXT, SKZ, LE SSERAFIM, New Jeans, Red Velvet and SHINee.
Other artists I like are: Tatsuya Kitani, Eve, The Oral Cigarettes, Vaundy, King Gnu, Queen Bee and MCR (what a mix)
Fandoms I’m in include(I’m sure I’ll add more danmei when I’m done reading them):
TGCF (I have beef with it but I’m deeply in love)
MDZS
SVSSS (still reading, on volume 2)
JJK
AOT
Sometimes I like Marvel. I only care about Spider-Man and Loki
TLOZ
Pokémon
(Always open to suggestions for more things, especially when they’re queer🤠👍🏻)
I write my own stories and am working on an AU that includes many fantastical being, though I am not entirely sure if that’s ever gonna see the light of day bc I don’t see anyone caring about my writing lol (it already has 137.000 words I’m not even joking it’s not funny, why am I writing this)
I’m sure I’ll post more of my OC’s when I find the time. My favorite is Harumi, he’s the main character in the fantastic beings AU, as a werewolf
I am so sorry my humor is super trauma based, bare with me it’s okay to laugh at my pain, it’s how I process, I swear
My favorite food is anything indian (especially aloo mutter, I bathe in that), pizza (only the one I make), and (red) thai curry.
That’s the only thing that sets me apart from Xie Lian, I eventually did learn how to cook and apparently people like my food!! (I add cinnamon and chili to everything, maybe that’s the key?)
I love building lego and organizing things by category (why I didn’t get diagnosed with asd is beyond me, I’ve always been like that)
I mostly draw on an Ipad with procreate, but I wanna get into watercolor and copics too, I just feel like I’m wasting the suff when things don’t turn out how I wanted them to be
I am horrible at texting and get anxious over it
I had another account here I was running for years, but I was in a pretty icky fandom and didn’t want to associate with the reputation that came with it, thus, I left. I am not the stupid, hurt and depressed teenager I was anymore, and that’s great!
I am german, though, I speak English so much I might as well be a native speaker
That’s it for now, you can always feel free to ask my questions, my (anonymous) asks, submissions and reblogs are always open, I just won’t answer if you’re rude🤠✌🏻

Would you catch me up on GA? I only see her happy w/ PM, know that she lives in England, is good (but distant) friends w/ DD, maybe wrote a book? and is a quirky queen.
Anything I'm missing? :DDDD
This ask brought me so much joy, THANK YOU!! There’s nothing I like more than talking about ✨her✨. However, disclaimer: I’m a relatively new fan and I don’t know everything, so anyone can feel free to correct me if I get things wrong. (I also don’t want to patronise you by stating the obvious!)
Firstly, it’s not confirmed that she’s with Peter Morgan right now. They broke up in 2020, and the only reason to believe they’re together again is one paparazzi photo of them holding hands. (Call me delusional, but I’d like to believe she’s single, because… we all know why!!! /hj)
A bit of background, she’s American-British (she moved between both countries as a child), which is why she’s bidialectal and can naturally switch between both accents. You’re right that she lives in the UK now though.
As for her and David Duchovny, where to start… It’s all but confirmed - partly thanks to Julianna Margulies!! - that David and Gillian slept together while filming The X-Files. They were also the opposite of subtle, for example kissing each other at awards shows. When Gillian is asked about their relationship, she only digs herself further into a hole, either by avoiding the question or, in one instance, even confirming that there is “more than a friend attraction” between them. However, the fallout from them sleeping together created a lot of tension. As a consequence, there was a period where their relationship deteriorated to the point that they could barely be in each other’s company. Fortunately since then they have managed to rebuild their relationship, and are now friendly, if distant as you say. (Like, she keeps tagging him in posts on social media and getting no response!)
She has co-written a few books: the science fiction series The Earthend Saga, and the self-help book We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere. She’s working on another involving submissions from women about their sexual fantasies and stories.
In terms of where she’s at now, she has just wrapped on filming the adaptation of The Salt Path with Jason Isaacs as her costar. The next project of hers to be released that I’m anticipating is Sex Education season four. She has also recently launched her own brand of soft drinks called G-Spot (yes, really), which are available at Harvey Nichols.
I struggle to know what to include when answering open-ended questions like this, so if you have anything else specific that you want to know, please do send me another ask or message me privately!
For now, here are some random facts about her:
• although stating that she is heterosexual a couple of times, she has dated women in the past, and is not opposed to the idea of doing so again: “I could be with a woman next year”, and "to me a relationship is about loving another human being; their gender is irrelevant” being two quotes.
• she’s a huge activist, supporting lots of different causes from indigenous rights to feminism. She is also a dedicated spokesperson for the Neurofibromatosis Network, because her brother died of neurofibromatosis.
• she started a trend called penis of the day/yoni of the day, where people send her pictures of things they encounter in their everyday lives that resemble genitalia!
If you want to gather some more knowledge of the absolute queen that is Gillian Anderson AND have a laugh while doing it, I highly recommend this YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@nuggetlovesgilliananderson.
But honestly the most important thing to know about her is that she’s my wife, so…

“That’s not true, actually —”
“Hunk do you ever shut the fuck up —”
“— you see, Lance was born in —”
“— God, it’s like you want to be slaughtered in your sleep —”
“— 2002 —”
“I hate you.”
“— So he’s not nineteen, actually! He’s eighteen.”
“Did you know that if you post your deepest secrets publicly on the Internet, they’re actually more secure than if you tell one Kealoha ‘Hunk’ Garrett? Yeah. Wild, isn’t it?”
There’s a pregnant pause as everyone takes in the newly presented information. Then Pidge turns livid eyes on Lance, who has suddenly abandoned any anger towards his best friend in favour of cowering strategically behind him.
“You mean to tell me,” she seethes, “that I have been enduring ‘baby Pidgeon’ jokes for the last eleven months —”
“Let’s think about this rationally, Pidgey —” Lance pleads, climbing backwards as Pidge stalks menacingly towards him — “I mean, you love me, right?”
“— eleven months of the worst age-related puns I have ever heard in my entire life —”
“Not with Matt in your household,” mumbles Shiro, making zero attempt to stop what looks to be an upcoming slaughtering.
“— and this entire time, you’ve only been seven months older than me? Seven? That’s not even a whole trip around the sun! You trick ass bitch! You mother fucker! You —” she lunges towards Lance, nails outstretched and vicious, causing Lance to scream at the top of his lungs and scramble backwards. Luckily for Lance, Pidge is stopped by a pair of strong arms picking her up by the scruff of her neck as if she’s a particularly naughty kitten.
“I can’t have you murdering one of my paladins,” Allura drawls, carrying Pidge over to the couch and depositing her on it, “as frustrating as he may be.”
“I hope you know the only thing stopping you from murdering you is my unfortunately burning curiousity,” mutters Pidge petulantly.
“And Allura’s biceps,” Hunk adds helpfully. Pidge inclines her head.
“And Allura’s biceps.”
Allura looks pleased.
“If I promise to answer your questions, do you promise to not murder me for the next week?”
Pidge squints at Lance, considering. “For the next day.”
“Five days.”
“Three days.”
“Done.”
“Spill then, pretty boy. I’ve read your Garrison file, and it has a ‘November 12th, 2001’ in shiny black ink right next to your name.” Shiro raises an eyebrow. “I was already in there looking for Matt’s stuff,” Pidge explains without an ounce of shame, “and Lance was a constant annoyance, so I figured I’d see if there was any dirt on him.”
“Fuck you, mayhaps.”
Pidge sticks her tongue out at him. “I have that dirt, too, if you keep being a shit.”
“…Noted.”
“Now get to explaining, already.”
“Alright, alright, jeez.” Lance sends one more glare to Hunk, who is sitting primly on an armchair and does not at all appear to be apologetic (although he does pat Lance delicately on the hand from where he’s wedged in between Hunk and the armrest) before starting his story.
“Okay, so you know how if you shoot a wasp nest’s and stay still they’ll fly right by you ‘cause they can smell guilt?”
Everyone blinks at him.
“I didn’t know that, no,” Shiro says after a moment. Lance flaps a dismissive hand.
“Well, now you do. Anyway. Point is that people are the same! So long as you act with complete and total confidence, you can do anything you want. Anyways. When I was 8, I was bored as hell in class, so I came up with a plan in the summer: the next school year, I’d tell my mom I was being bullied — I mean, I was, but I didn’t really plan on telling her initially — so she’d move me to a new school and I’d just go to whatever grade I liked best and convince everyone else I was supposed to be there. And it worked! Come September, I walked into a new school and I liked the fourth grade class best, so I went there. The teacher, obviously, did not have my name on her list, but I just acted confused and pulled the ESL card and they assumed my mom just made an error on the application. From then on every school document I had said I was born in 2001, and eventually I was in the grade above me for so long I was able to convince my parents that I was born in 2001, too. It helped that I’m a middle child. And then I brought up how, wow, isn’t that crazy, my birth certificate and passport have the wrong year on it. That’s wild. And it turns out the government doesn’t really verify that information past ‘are you sure it’s wrong’ — because who but me would lie about that, honestly — so boom! According to all official records, I was born a year earlier than I really was. My goal was to convince myself, but I could never quite manage it, unfortunately.”
“…So you. Gaslit your way. Into commuting age fraud.”
“That’s one way of looking at it!” Lance agrees happily.
“How did… how did Hunk find out?”
“Because genius over here done fucked up,” Hunk teases. “Lance was a scrap of a kid. When we were — when I was, rather — fifteen, Lance started bitching about being in his last year of puberty and he better have a growth spurt before fall. I was trying to gently break it to him that, in all likelihood, he was gonna be a short king, because his last expected year of puberty had passed, but he slipped up and argued otherwise! And I’m just pushy enough that he spilled. God, I’m so grateful you guys found out, I have been dying to tell someone for years.”
“Found out?!” Lance cries, smacking Hunk repeatedly on the chest. It does not appear to affect him. “You told everyone, you artless, beetle-headed harpy!”
Hunk knocks their heads together gently, sending Lance a sunny smile. “Love ya!”
“…Asshole.”
“Aw.”
“I love you too, jackass.”
