howdy! it's day 1 of MCYT fanfic appreciation week, and i was wondering if you had any future writing projects or other ideas that you wanted an excuse to talk about :D no pressure whatsoever to answer this ask, just thought i'd reach out ♡

ive got a couple ideas but no current WIPs. considering writing a sequel/alt pov to but i still hold out hope that maybe someday (also known as the rancher games), following a new character watching the games from back home, and having to live with what happened afterwards. jimmys sister, to be exact. i cant say much about this one without spoiling the original fic, but. there will be pain. and if you've read the original you know why there is pain. but there will also be seablings.

my second idea would have a more unusual format- ive got a massive superhero au i havent talked about here, just going feral on discord, but i was thinking about writing something for that. not plot, it doesnt really have much of that, but some kind of guide to all the hermit heroes. in the format of notes taken by the resident power copier, beef! with help (scribbles in the margins) from a zedaph.

the main thing stopping me from writing those right now is that i do not have a good handle on the characterization of either lizzie or beef. ive never written them before and having them as POV characters will be a challenge.

#superhero one is mostly an excuse for me to ramble about the many many cool powers i gave them #i have every single hermit and several adjacents all with unique and complex powers!#this is enrichment for me.#beef technically isnt the only power copier there's also a mumbo but mumbo can do more than that.#also mumbo doesnt like to copy powers much because he has to drink someones blood to copy them and that tastes bad #(mumbos ability was inspired by his s8 becoming what he eats bit)#beef can copy powers but cant use them directly he has to turn them into cards first!#anyone can use the cards to mimic the powers of whoever the card is of. zed often uses them because of his specific fuckery #normally the cards get used up theyre not an endless supply of powers they have charges. but zed somewhat bypasses that?#and zed also doesnt have powers that help him fight directly so he could use some backup cards anyways #and for the rancher games one. im very attached to the lizzie jimmy tango dynamic i created.#theyre soft. as they should be.#but yeah lizzie had to watch. That. had to see her brother get reaped #and had to watch him [SPOILERS]#not fun for her at all!

i should really hang out with more indo wrestling fans (they actually got other nia jax stans here)

#yeah i like her. sue me lol #i like her moves and she hasnt injured anyone in months and its not like anyone working with her is making interviews or vagueposts about it #unlike certain guys including my own faves. she's literally not in the worst scale of worst ppl and yet the hate she got is overblown #one of the classic GOATs in wrestling actually beats his wife and one of the newer fan favoriters who still got fanfic written about him #injured literally two brothers in the same year and made rape comments about a girl and he never get as horrible backlash that nia gets #and if anyone wants to come at her for being antivaxx there are male stars who are still loved despite being a flat earther #worst past is i see this double standards on bloggers who i expected to know better..... maybe theyre not so in touch with the rumor mills #but cmon. do you ever question why the girls bad marks tend to be more well know than the guys?#ugh. some of yalls support for women's art seems superficial ngl #compared to my indo wrasslin friends and when they like women #they just make fancams about how cool their girls are and how they should win and it seems 100 times more sincere than the yuri moment #posting i see on tumblr #fandom wank

I always get the urge to post on tumblr when I'm feeling crazy. Most of the time, it's from lack of sleep.

#hi ive been hit with the urge to post. wonder why (sarcastic)#also im currently in a dnd campaign run by Geeky and its my favorite thing ever rn and i really wanna talk about it #i have a little bunny boy fighter named Hopkins and hes such a little problem child i really need to tone him down vshdsjsb #and he has 2 equally chaotic dads who im also rotating around in my head. their names are Genji and Toby and i love love love them #Genji is a wizard and Toby is an artificer #i think its funny how theyre both spell casters when i made Hopkins explicitly Not a spell caster vshssjssk #they all travel around Geekys beautiful homebrew world doing all this history work because theyre big nerds #and i guess Genji and Toby managed to die? question mark? idk theyre at like magic heaven. or hell idk #at least that's what's implied. and i think thats cool #ask me more about my bunny family please #OH MY GOD I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA #i could customize calico critters to by my little bunny family 🥺#i have to put that on my long growing list of projects i want to do eventually #first i have to get through septictober. then i'll do my silly little ideas #i should post my art of my little bunny family sometime too

why is there so little rdr2 fanworks about sadie and arthur's friendship it's driving me crazy

#THEYRE BEST FRIENDS!!!'#they understand each other and their issues in such an intimate way #more ghosts than people......#like. they both have nothing more to lose. they're both hurting and desperate and Angry but only because of the amount of love they have....#idk i can see their friendship being one where they don't have to explain things to each other they just Get It on such an intrinsic level #where is the friendship fic. it's driving me insane genuinely it's such a cool dynamic #give me a fic where they go back up to the ruins of sadie's house and she finally faces her grief #instead of forcing her anger to fit into the hole where the grief should be #and arthur doesn't know how to help because he still doesn't know how to do it either but at least they have each other #i want him to tell her abt issac and eliza.......#rdr2 fandom come on where is the sadie love just in general too #help #rdr2 #maintagging because get @ me with the sadie and arthur friendship stuff

reread all the vegas chapters from the goldfinch and listen…. ive always thought the movie was pretty good. just the sheer fact that they didnt straight up change any of the plot earns them a solid B, but man theres so many amazing scenes i wouldve loved to see.

#boris telling theo about his conversion to islam and his name meaning the moon and his mom telling him the moon follows you everywhere #theo asking boris if the moon looks the same in russia at 3:00am when theyre both still awake in bed together passing a cigarette #they should have shown more that boris literally lived with theo and they always shared his bed every night. theo called it ‘our bed’#the movie kinda made it seem like that was just a sleepover they had but that was every night for months #bc boris’ father was so bad and bc they didnt wanna be away from each other #and more of them completely laughing their asses off not being able to control themselves #theo spraying boris with xandras perfume and boris saying ‘whatd you do to me you whore’ classic.#boris kissing theos bloody hand!!!! god i wish they showed that #the kiss in the book was way better too like at least the movie had it at all but it was better in the book #im cool with them ditching kotku tho but jealous theo wouldve been fun to see #ok i gotta shut up #the goldfinch

I like Darling With Gills the most cause it references the reader being a merfolk and how Mettaton always calls people "darling" which absolutely includes the reader :3

yeah its a good title!! very clever :3

#sidenote its rlly nice how much he cares abt his fans.. since the newsletter said he handwrites valentines for each one he gets #i mean we kinda already knew since he wanted to stay underground to give them smth to be hopeful abt but its just #kinda rare to see a celebrity character who rlly goes out of their way to do smth like that yknow? usually theyre way more entitled #mtts a cool guy i should read up on him #ask :)#captain of f/os ⛵

this is probably a weird thing to have strong opinions about but I don't like when people draw Finn wearing a blue hoodie. THIS IS LIGHT YELLOW SWEATER ERASURE!!!

#/lightheartened and all that #adventure time #i need to draw Yellow Sweater Finn #i mean honestly it doesnt even look that warm though. it looks quite thin. but idk i guess he just has really high tolerance for the cold?#thats cool. no pun intended.#finn the human #also help u guys DO know what im talking about right im not retroactively imagining the Blue Hoodie thing ? right?#i hope none of my pals (mutuals and followers) are fans of the Fanon Blue Hoodie otherwise this will look rude #I PROMISE I AM NOT TRYING TO VAGUE-POST ABOUT ANYONE #most of the people who ive seen draw bluehoodiefinn are ppl who draw like uh. Slightly Less Stylized finn. ykwim?#so i guess theyre trying to Coolify him or make him more fashionable or whatever? im sorry but that boy has no fashion sense #he wears tshirt and shorts EXLUSIVELY. hey wait i do that too..... ok so i guess im accidentally calling myself out here #anyway #what is this #is this anything #i just think we should appreciate the yellow sweater more.

so turns out i actually am hot as fuck. ive been joking about being hot to quell my hatred for everything about me including my looks, but a curious thing happened like two days ago. i was at a pride parade thingy that ended with a festival, so i was in the sun's death rays ALL DAY and i was a bit sweaty AND on top of all that my punk ass make up smeared off making it look like i havent slept in a week (still punk but yknow less hot). DESPITE ALL OF THAT a really cute blonde guy ambushed me, tapped me on the shoulder, told me i looked really good and asked for my instagram. MY. INSTAGRAM. !!!!!. i could not shut up for the rest of the day about it. it did eventually devolve into panic and i even got an anime nosebleed thinking about him.

SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when i found out ive been carrying out this hot ass face and bod around WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT IT for however long ive been doing it.

#in all honesty im terrified to log onto instagram #one : the boy is waaay out of my league #TWO :#he probably thinks im some sort of cool dude festival goer #some sort of outsider #WHEN INFACT #im a toby fox obsessed shut in that messes up like every other relationship romantic or platonic #he probably thinks im cool when im just a loser creeeeepppppp what do i DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #if he invites me to like coffee or something im just gonna be sitting there trying to not talk about my nerd ass bullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii #i never really had a need to open instagram but i cant ghost him #thats such a painful thing to go through and he deserves at least a response #but i cant INICIATE A CONVERSATION OR ANYTHING not after EVERYTHING #my friends told me that if he doesnt message me i have nothing to worry about and i should wait until he does so to stress out #and that if he doesnt message me the same or next day he's probably forgotten about me #and they have more experience in these sort of things because #theyre #fucking gross #like all the time #at least one of them's on the same wave as i #we call him tree #which sounds way better as a nickname in my language trust me #so i trust them on this #nnnnnnnnnnnn he probably doesnt even know what tumblr isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss #then again he's gay so #he probably uses tumblr for hot people thingsgssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss #if he DOES want to get to know me hes gonna fucking learn that im a piece of shit nobody loser with no life FUCK #then again its been two days and he hasnt even liked any of my posts so he's probably forgotten about me and hates me and would like to see #me dead which honestly that makes the two of us hey look at that we're already finding things we have in common AND WE HAVENT EVEN SPOKEN F #what the hell do i even tag this #rant

if you have the time or inclination, can i ask what the deal with motogp/those boys is about? i don’t mean that in a mean way btw, im just curious and i love drama

i will try to be brief (1/4358)

SO! valentino rossi (born 16 February 1979, aquarius. italian.) is one of the most iconic people in motorsport, CERTAINLY in motogp. he's a 9 time world champion, your favorite driver's favorite driver, and is generally credited with revolutionizing the popularity of the sport by: a. being insanely good at motorcycle racing, and b. in general having a lot of fun about it. lethally charming and charismatic. all time active listening face. just a fun and funny dude that everyone pretty much likes and MANY younger riders idolize. VERY good at handling the media and his legions of cult-like fans. sometimes treated more like a god than a person. i was in the store yesterday and saw one of his themed monster energy drinks despite him retiring two years ago. his fun retirement activity is racing BMWs and running his own motogp team/training facility/cult for young italian racers. (this is where cele and bezz and basically every italian rider not named enea bastianini come from!)

so in 2011ish valentino had won 9 titles, and he decided to leave his current manufacturer and move to italian manufacturer ducati where he generally had a stone-cold terrible time. EXTENDED flop era for a couple years. any time ive watched content that covers this period everyone is so sad. so sad. anyways he GOES BACK to his old manufacturer in 2013 and is much more competitive. kind of just happy to be winning sometimes and be on the podium. 2013 is also where marc comes in. what could go wrong.

marc marquez! (born 17 february 1993, almost exactly 14 years after vale which i'm sure means nothing. also an aquarius. spanish.) childhood sports idols include: dani pedrosa, VALENTINO ROSSI.

marc carved his way up through the feeder championships until casey stoner unexpectedly retired at the end of the 2012 season leaving a seat empty on a VERY good bike for his rookie season. rocked up and was immediately VERY good at winning and very good at being a crazyinsane person on track that made people mad at him lol. hilarious habit of pissing people off via on-track crimes that i really enjoy. motogp riders are already crazy (they do death sport) but marc is famous for taking risks no one else will. basically if he's not winning, he's crashed out or he's maybe crashed YOU out. he wins the championship as a rookie (insane) and the next year's championship as well. heir apparent to the throne. sweet and goofy but is now known as one of the more reserved riders with the press. probably because of all this drama tbh. undisputed GOAT of acting like a slut on camera

throughout 2013-2014, marc and valentino had a good relationship! marc very clearly idolizes him and is like. bowled over completely with delight every time valentino looks his way. vale likes him! theyre buds! truly an endless well of pictures of vale explaining something with his hands and marc babygirling at him. highly recommend checking out @pgaslys every rosquez podium tag for contextual brain damage. insane times.

(IT SHOULD BE NOTED: before the 2015 season marc visits valentino at his practice track in italy, where they compete to break the track record and almost kill each other bc they are so pathologically competitive. APPARENTLY, marc showed up with some official mechanics and valentino was a little pissed off because it was supposed to be a like. fun thing. and to marc winning is the most fun! if you dont come to win why come at all! anyways marc breaks the track record and credits that to cooling their relationship a bit. good post about it here.) here they are that day:

so what could go wrong, right? WELL. valentino has a chance to win his tenth title in 2015. marc is on a flop bike and crashed a bunch so he's not in the championship conversation but vale is leading the standings from the jump, with his main opponent being jorge lorenzo. i think he really wanted that tenth, and dedicated himself to the season in a way he hadnt really ever before (he was a very effortless competitor when he was young. gym-adverse. king).

marc and him start to get into some scraps along the way, notably in argentina (where they made contact and marc crashed out), assen (where they made contact AGAIN and vale won the race), and phillip island (marc won. GREAT race available here for free). phillip island sees vale finishing P4 and jorge lorenzo finishing ahead of him in P3, reducing his championship lead by quite a bit. no real indication of any tension during these races, and they are asked about it!

this is where valentino's delulu era begins! basically, ahead of the next race (🔥🔥SEPANG 2015🔥🔥) in the pre-race press conference, he goes after marc, saying he was deliberately sabotaging valentino in phillip island because marc wanted jorge to win. in valentino's mind. marc wants jorge to win because a. they are both spanish (??) and b. it would mean marc has to win less titles to equal valentino's total. record scratch. freeze frame.

everyone (including marc!) thinks valentino is joking at first bc that is bananascrazyinsane. he was not joking. (it should be noted valentino STILL thinks this lol.) anyways marc is completely blindsided. he thought they were good! yeah they've been chippy on track but that's racing!! truly like. 22 years old and your friend (AND CHILDHOOD IDOL.) is calling you a snake in front of your face with NO prior warning to the entire motogp establishment writ large including your coworkers and REPORTERS. valentino wont even look at him the entire time. the press conference is available here on vimeo. excruciating gifsets of marc's very stiff bewildered PR smile found here.

anyways so. the race. marc is uh. pissed off. he's stuck to valentino like GLUE the entire time and they trade places a bunch of times. now marc is kind of famous for being a little asshole on track anyways, but its not like he's gonna get out of valentino's way and just let him pass after what he said in that press conference so. hand in unlovable hand <3. truly very fun to watch imo even with the sword of damocles hanging over them. marc is fucking on one the entire race and basically refuses to give valentino an inch until vale gets so fed up with his antics that um. well. it certainly looks like he kicked him. vale says he didnt, and that his leg accidently made contact with marc's bike. marcs says. he fucking kicked me. judge for yourself here!

so valentino gets hauled in front of race direction and penalized for the next race (the deciding race for the championship). he has to start from the back of the grid and it kills his chance at a tenth title stone dead. vale places the blame squarely on marc's shoulders and his legions of fans decide marc is public enemy number 1. him and jorge have to get security at the next race because of death threats, someone tries to break into marc's childhood home back in spain, marc's mom throws away all of marc's valentino merchandise from when he was a kid. vale says nothing.

but the thing about marc. is that he loves very hard and chooses his people pretty carefully. didnt really move out of his tiny hometown until he turned 30 and also made his baby brother move in with him kind of guy. so all this is not really enough for him to let go of vale entirely! 2016 is where the pain lives! bc marc is still reaching out and vale himself stays pretty cold for a couple years. they seem to faintly reconcile for a bit but its not anywhere like it was before sepang.

the real nail in the coffin is argentina 2018. another insane race where marc has to start from the back and goes on a rampage through the field and crashes out like three people. i cant remember. this race is also available on youtube for free its very entertaining. every five minutes marc does something insane. vale is one of the people marc crashes out and afterwardshe goes on a big rant about how marc is destroying the sport and is actively dangerous. marc goes to valentino's garage immediately after the race to apologize and vale doesnt even look at him. he gets turned away at the door after vale's best friend/assistant/henchman yells in his face1!!! and thats kind off all she wrote in terms of reconciliation

anyways that's where we are! they are both very much not over it. vale goes on podcasts and is like. in 30 years i will still be mad, im literally never going to get over it it was such a big and unfair thing and i think about it all the time like it was yesterday. and marc (lying) says as time goes by i dont even think about it :) and i care about valentino less and less :))) but yes he hurt me deeply lol. CANNOT stress enough how much this entire thing is now inextricably liked to both of their legacies. the two arguable GOATs of a sport had an epic fleetwood mac-style beatles breakup divorce and everyone wants to talk about it allllll day long including me :)

additional context! really recommend checking out marc's little docuseries he put out this year about his recent struggles with injury. he is so not right in the head and it goes over the valentino drama in ep3. theres also hitting the apex (2015) which goes over the 2013 season (marc's rookie season) and is a really good introduction to all the major players at the time. its like less than 2 hrs long so its not too much of a commitment

also recommend following scholars @babynflames, @its-always-silly-season, @baking-soda, and @f1vegas as well as many others im forgetting rn bc its 2am!
