Incoming rambling (nothing bad, just my own stuff that no one but me cares about, lol): I’m getting SO close to finally finishing the final parts of my detailed refs for Mourynn, and I’m happy with how it’s turning out. The whole process of wrapping my mind around the logistics of making up cultural armour and in a way where it makes sense (while trying to visualize it in 3D) and isn’t too difficult to replicate has taken a while, but I’m still super proud of her design and I can’t wait to put it all together in an actual bio post for her so she can finally exist outside of my brain (I say “put all together” since I like to isolate different body parts separately so I can more easily focus on them and their design and angles without having to worry about the rest since they get isolated visuals too. Makes it less overwhelming than doing it all at once, at least for me xd)  And ofc, I’m extra and didn’t want to go with any in game armour (which meant more work, but totally worth it bc it turned out better than I initially envisioned while still keeping the features I had in mind), especially non-cultural ones, mainly bc I’m lowkey obsessed with Sylvari cultural armour and wanted to design something unique for her (especially since it fits her lore better, and also bc it’s fun and extremely self-indulgent. Designing sylvari outfits and body features in general is so much fun since you can go extra creative with it). Though, I feel like I’ve been at this forever since I started working on this, but I also blame my stupid ADHD since I can only do like, bite-sized drawing periods as I keep having to go back and forth between other things while drawing bc I can never hyperfocus on things that I want to (Ofc I instead wind up using my hyperfocus on things like listing items on the Auction House in Flight Rising for a few hours earlier today lmao~ -_-) Anyways I can’t wait for my extremely self-indulgent OC to exist outside of my brain so I can finally have fun and do all the ideas I have had listed down for ages now alskdjfls. I’m mostly doing this all for myself, but it want to also try and finally interact with the GW2 art community here a bit more since I didn’t know it existed much before I came back to tumblr (and especially bc for this special case, it’s impossible for my OC to exist in game for a large number of reasons, so I can’t interact like this in game, so I get to suffer lmao). Also once I finish this and the bio I need to update my avatar(s) here orz. I’m just using another OC drawing atm lol.

(( hi to anyone who forgot they were following this DEADass blog!!
I've obviously not been on here, or on any RP blog at all, in forever. I'm gonna put this weird update(? more like a note to myself) under a cut, in case it gets kinda long... I might add updates to it later because there's alot I want to say. but I doubt anyone who would've been interested back when I was active, is still around (not to be negative! I don't expect them to be, I hope everyone I hung out with is living their best life!!) but I don't really know where else to collect my mess of thoughts on this character (I only sort of use twitter atm? and char limit lol), so for now, I'll post it here, and if I ever wanna link back to it, it's all neat and together...
if you've forgotten what this blog used to be since I changed URL and icons etc the last couple times it was active, it was Catboii, then before that SolicitorC. I have no idea if this character is actually dead, or if it is still out there somewhere, living it's best life (hopefully) maybe one day I'll tie up the loose ends, and finally set it free.... who knows
the reason I'm here, thinking about this character so fondly again, is I've actually been tentatively thinking about. writing things. again. I've been reading Homestuck fanfics again recently (i know right? in 2023?? what the shit) I doubt anyone who followed me on this blog knew me back on my other RP blogs, where I occasionally mentioned my fanfics (from 10 years ago aparently, mostly 2013 wow)..... most of which I'm embaressed about today so some I've orphaned, but the experience and practice was good in the long run
but the point is I've been thinking about writing something in my spare time (which I don't have much of, and I have multiple mental things that mean I have to re-read and correct and rearrange things I write like a million times. so far I've taken nearly 2 hours <now nearly 4 including eating and moving from upstairs to downstairs back upstairs...> to write and re-read this post, and I'm nowhere near done yet.... I'm gonna try to not be so anal about how this lays out because I've moved some paragraphs around and it sometimes doesn't make sense, but it literally doesn't matter! this is mostly just so I can look back on it in the future and be like, "oh yeah, I did that...")
I was thinking about trying to write some original fiction about one particular set of fantasy characters I have, and I like to remember the inspiration for their origins, so here we are.....
people who actually know me know I'm a HUGE slut for recycling characters. I have OCs who've been in literal hundreds of AUs, with either the same characters as always, or some different ones. and alot of my OCs, surprise surprise, started off as Tumblr RP muses.
I actually have a new version of this character, completely off tumblr or any other platform as of yet. although now he's completely diverged and I've created an entirely new timeline, new history, some actual lore of where he's come from and WHAT HE IS (finally) and how some of my other characters fit into the "universe". and I'll be honest, I did take some inspiration from some chatacters we met along the way. they have different names, I've changed their personalities somewhat, some are just loosely based off of the "concept" of a character we met, or the kind of relationship or interactions they had with my/other characters around,,, and they may not fit together with each other in this universe the way they did on Tumblr because they're not them, but the inspiration that I got from the interactions our characters had, had a big impact on the way this character has evetually turned out. I have BPD and "favourite people" reaches to more than just actual real life people for me, it reaches to characters, and I did have some "favourite muses" that really stuck with me, even if my muse wasn't a fan or they didn't really interact. there were also characters that my muse was really into, that I personally wasn't a fan of, but still mean alot to me and our progression
I obviously don't wanna just straight up plagierise someone else's character, and that wouldn't make sense anyway.... I can't copy someone else's character, and even if I COULD, they were probably fandom muses, which wouldn't work here in our new world. I can make up new characters, self indulge for the purposes of progressing my other character's stories... but that feels empty and pointless. these characters STILL hold a special place in my heart? and so some kind of weird tribute, without actually telling the person who made them, just makes sense to me I guess.... I wasn't gonna out mysef like this tbh, because to some people it might sound bad, I have alot of other characters who I've basically done the same thing with, took some loose inspiration from some OCs/fandom muses someone else made, and put some bits and pieces of them together in a completely different character of my own. I have a couple who are still mildly reminiscent of the originals, or are a very close paralell (with my own quirks), which I actually did get permission from the original creators to use and change... sometimes I think about actual TV or book characters who these smaller characters remind me of, and other RP blog characters or OCs, put bits of these characters together, then pick them apart, thinking about how they grew up, their family, friends, how that would've formed them as a person... frankensteining them together into some kind of guilt-free brain baby. this is essentially how you make characters, right? they're even initially inspired by real people, or real people's traits or personalities... then you squish them up and mould them into something else? it's not like I'm profiting off someone else's hard work and creativity... idk I don't really know how I feel about it.
for me, making characters is more than just "welp I need someone to be this guy's friend for a few chapters", they're a big part of the story, each one of my characters need to have some kind of background. even if that background is that we don't know anything about them for whatever reason.
anyway... back to the point I was getting to.
Tii, or Kiity, started off as... sort of a weird social experiment (at least that's what I'm calling it as a joke) on how out of character I can make a "normal" homestuck AU character, and not feel even the slightest bit bad about it. until I did.
the full timeline from when I was actually active is here but if you're not into long rambling explanations, here's, something..... (spoiler this turned into way longer than the timeline page, but this one has actual me in it, and my thoughts, rather than a sorta,,, emotionless list) if you DON'T wanna read the full timeline, but would like to read about my NEW character, I'll put this between these squigglies, and you can just skip it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
homestuck stuff (so if you don't get HS then I'm sorry!): he started as just a normal post-game Sollux but he was god tier, didn't remember anything from the game or where his friends were, but couldn't die! fun! while he'd had the blog he got one of those pesky magin anons which turned him into a literal catboy, which he was actually really into bc people gave him alot of attention, so we made it permanent, there was some stuff with an Alternian uprising, human troll experimentation, he had his own lab, did experiments with parasites, especially brain worm type deals, I think this Sollux (I've had a few) didn't have Psionics? bc I'm a sucker for broken bois, it's been such a long time that I don't remember much myself. there was a phase with quadrant prostitution, hence the blog title "Solicitor". the first URL is where the nickname Lit came from. totally accidental but "it's Lit" was a great tag line. there was alot of memory loss in here, a universe's Signless manipulating Lit's memories to his own advantage... I have a terrible memory myself, and forgetting important things is a big fear of mine, so I thought I'd vent it out as a plot point, again, fun! it was also a handy plot ploint to let Lit forget muses who went inactive, rather than waiting around for them to return (since he was clingy but I'm realistic and have no problem if someone has a real life)
no more homestuck: there's a climax point where Lit was manipulated by a demonic creature called Kreed, which mostly happened off-blog. partially because I was too cringe thinking "lol demons" to actually go very far with it publicly. but in the end it worked out in my favour, because the story was getting REALLY DEPRESSING, and it was sorta going stale... this is where I dropped fandom and made Tii an OC, I was sort of feeling weird about the whole fandom thing since the character didn't feel like the actual canon character at all, with the memory loss and the manipulation. it was totally in character and it was story/character progression, but it didn't feel right calling it Sollux anymore, and honestly it was a little restricting.... it wasn't out of place though, because other people were making their fandom characters OCs around this time, rather than just starting up a whole new blog for the OC, having to get followers/interaction from scratch... you know, the grind.
there was a while at this point where Tii thought it was happy? but honestly no, it wasn't, and it was dragging me down a bit, which is why I kept dipping out, and I made a couple of ther blogs around this point. in general the blog experience was good, most of the interactions were great, but I'd put too much,,,,, brain? into emotions and the afterthoughts. I got too in my head, and in Tii's head, about the past. there were toxic muses that Tii dwelled on, and even if I tried to erase the memories, they would still pop up on it's dash and it would start a spiral, there would be posts on the vent blog regarding these people and Tii would be like "WHO DIS??" which was partially funny, but in the end exhausting.... it turned out, what I was *hoping* would be a superpower (forgetting traumatic events) turned out to be Tii's downfall.... I decided to go no-contact with my own character at some point. mostly I was just genuinely too busy, but I started to pop back on every now and again on mobile to see how things were going, say hi to a couple people, but eventually it would all start spiralling again, and it just wasn't enjoyable. I tried making another blog for an OC, which I don't think I even finished setting up before I decided I just didn't have the time or energy to start up.... but that's not Tii stuff, so nevermind that
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
today, Furui is a Nekomata (with some shapeshifting abilities), in a world where maybe 2% of the population is some kind of fantasy creature, living in hiding. most can blend in with general society, so humans think it's WAY less than that, although they know they're around...
I have a few "main characters", including Keisuke, who was a boy who grew up at the family temple/shrine (I'm not too familiar with Japanese culture, and I'm not about to pretend I am, so I forget which it is) where Furui lived back when he was an actual, literal cat. he frequented the site, even though his family told him not to go alone as the ghost of a black cat haunted it. it was actually just a Yokai. so much better... the Yokai grew quite fond of Keisuke, and hung around him, let him put a handmade collar on him so he could hear the tinkling bell when he was around. although Keisuke moved abroad to study when he was older, and when he returned after several years, the cat was gone. at some point, Furui, not understanding human language, so thinking Keisuke had just forgetten about him (even though he did try multiple times to say he was leaving,,, )and other humans pestering him and trying to chase him out, had gotten fed up, and turned into a malevolent spirit, burning down the temple/shrine, and killing several humans who'd tried to harm him
on a lighter note, fast farward a couple years, there's some goofy intro where Keisuke meets Furui in a human form, but he's an absolutely terrible human impersonator. they somehow end up being buddies and Keisuke teaches him how to person etc etc story things.
there are other main characters like Lyric the sweet but secretly manipulative Siren, or "Lyra" to humans. then there's Denali the reluctant Werewolf who I've actually toyed with being the protagonist. they have a complicated relationship where Lyric doesn't want Denali to be so self destructive (drinking and sleeping around), and doesnt actually know that he's a literal werewolf. because he won't tell her. he's worried she'll absolutely freak out about him getting hurt or hurting people... what he doesn't realise is she's just using him and has got him wrapped around her little finger, because she thinks he's just another stupid human. he, of course knows she's NOT a human, but think he's special, and she would NEVER use her powers on him.
Furui and Keisuke move abroad to [wherever I decide this takes place] where Lyric, Denali, and a bunch of other characters live. Furui quickly befriends Lyric because he can smell non-humans, being a cat and all, meets Denali and finds out he hasn't told Lyric his secret, so (as he's not a human, so doesn't have human values of trust and camaraderie, and is... not a nice person in general) threatens to out him if he doesn't play along with his games.. those games, being he's been the dark creature slowly picking off the werewolf packs roaming the streets killing people. one of those packs, being Denali's own. Furui takes great pleasure in making the guy choose between his relationship with Lyric, who he thinks he feels more than just platonically for, or his pack. this of course has alot of ways it could go, and I haven't fully decided.... but it's fun to theorise.
originally, Furui had a huge crush on Denali (which was gonna end in some kinda violent throwndown between him and Lyric), because in my mind he started out as this huge confident wolf boy, and who doesn't wanna fuck a werewolf, but as time's been going, he's been showing his vulnerabilities, and Furui will absolutely not be into anyone who is scared of anything, especially if it's not tangible... he's a ilteral spirit, he can't die or be killed. he toys with death on the daily, and I have a couple of quick little drabble scenes written up already (to get it out of my system) of him being absolutely annihilated, only to grotesquely and noisily pull his dislocated/broken limbs back into their sockets, and raise up from the ground gushing blood and bits of his insides all over the pavement.... you can't be second guessing your words in case you hurt someone's feelings around someone like that, if you want them to respect your physical prowess. on one hand, I like big confident scary Denali, but I also like confidence being a front, and secretly vulnerable doggo boi. it's a hard life.
anyway I'm just ranting now, and it's been.... like literally over 5 hours. I started writing this at half 4ish? and it's 10pm now. I feel better though, like I got something out of my system, and I got some of my story thoughts down, instead of just letting them swim around in my head then be forgotten.
if anyone did read all this for whatever reason, then I hope you have a great day, and thankyou for sharing this with me ...

no feelings - mason x f!detective (twc)
author’s note: my original intention was to do a post-bakery, heartbreak moment for mason and I started this before the demo updated, but needed to change it since and hopefully it still works. I have no idea if I’ll do a part 2, my original plans don’t spark joy atm, and I was tired of seeing this in my WIPs xD. very minor book 3 spoilers (allusions but no specific mentions). enjoy! *thank you @silma-words for giving this a read-through all those months ago when i was stuck and to @narrativefoiltrope for the parentheses suggestion!
copyright: all characters, except my oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – mason x f!detective (ria knight) rating/warnings: 16+; swearing, angst word count: 1.7k summary: ria wants to end things with mason before she catches feelings for someone who won’t return them. mason isn’t sure what he wants but knows he doesn’t want to give up what they have.
no feelings
mason just stared at the door to ria’s office, the shades obscuring the sight of her but he could still hear the sound of her heartbeat. solid and steady, like her.
he didn’t know why he said what he did. he just knew that she was hurt, even though she pretended not to be. and even though he wanted to talk to her, he didn’t know what he wanted to say.
it didn’t matter though, seeing as how she didn’t seem like she wanted to talk to him anytime soon.
but he couldn’t bring himself to walk away.
he knocked, hesitantly. once. twice.
“come in,” a voice called out, loud to his senses, vibrating ever so slightly.
he opened the door and paused in the doorway, eyes searching hers for permission.
her head rose from where it had been resting on her arms, fists clenching once she noticed him. she lowered her hands to her lap, but mason had no doubt that her knuckles were white.
“what do you want?” she asked, her features stitching together a mask of indifference.
but he could see the truth in her light blue eyes. it was his special skill after all, being able to read people and get the truth from them.
a skill he tried to avoid using with ria as much as possible for some reason.
when did that happen?
even now, as he was holding her gaze, he knew he wasn’t trying to read her. but he could still sense that something was off. and he wanted, no needed, to figure out what it was.
the silence between them grew as ria’s gaze shifted. she looked expectantly at him. “well? if you don’t have anything new to report on the case, you should leave. i have a lot of work to do.”
he shook his head, a force of habit. he really didn’t know what to say.
she glanced away, eyes flitting across the posters and papers pinned to the wall next to her desk, but mason could see the gears turning in her mind. when she turned back to look at him, the pain from before was replaced by a newfound intensity that slammed into him and sent a prickly, but still pleasant, tingle across his chest and down his arms.
a knowing smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as her eyes appraised him, and not unlike the first time they flirted, the motion sent something warm and soothing down south. as her eyes met his again, the warmth turned into a simmering heat and he took a step forward, her darkened irises drawing him in.
he raised an eyebrow at her. while he was no stranger to the constant attraction between them, which pushed and pulled like the tides but always met each other at dusk and dawn, it didn’t seem like the time.
for once, he wanted to talk.
“look, about what i said before,” he started, folding his arms across his chest.
ria made her way around her desk until she was standing in front of him. “you were right. you made it clear that you were only interested in fun, and i agreed,” she shrugged, tapping her fingers lightly on his chest.
his brow furrowed. while he did say something to that affect, it wasn’t what he wanted.
“that’s all this is and all it’s going to be, so i’ll see you later at my apartment?” ria asked pointedly, her lip curling into a smirk.
a frustrated rumble crouched low in the back of his throat. “i never said that this is all it’s going to be,” he snapped, flinching at the volume of his own voice.
ria didn’t move a muscle. her light blue eyes had darkened to a cloudy grey, only a few shades lighter than his own.
“you didn’t have to, sunshine. i’m saying it. so am i seeing you later or not?” she asked, the glare on her face reminding him of the daggers she had hidden under her jacket sleeves.
an uncomfortable itch started in his belly and he subconsciously scratched at the fabric of his shirt, blunt nails digging in harder before he realized the itch was under his skin.
and it was spreading. traveling up toward his chest and out before making its way down his arms. leaving behind a tiny, circular weight in his stomach that he didn’t care for.
he could recognize it for what it was, a form of conflict. swirling counter-clockwise as a hurricane does when it approaches shore. but he didn’t understand why it was there.
what he did understand is that if she wanted to see him, he wanted to see her.
he gave her a slow nod. “i’ll see you later,” he said, hesitating for a brief second with his hand on the doorknob.
he glanced back at her and said softly, “sweetheart.”
~ against her better judgment, ria met mason’s gaze before he left, the murmured pet name on his lips seeming to glide through the air and hit her in the chest. her body slumped back against the desk as he left, energy draining out of her and leaving behind the tempestuous grey look now seared in her mind. his words left an uncomfortable lump in her throat, and she hoped no one else came into her office.
she looked at the clock, a feeble attempt to fast-forward to the end of the day, only for her shoulders to sag at the realization that she basically still had eight hours to go. despite the tension in their earlier conversation and the uncomfortable moments they’ve had since breakfast, ria wasn’t mad at mason.
even though she had stormed out while trying to blink back tears and then he stormed away from her after finding out about bobby, she didn’t blame him.
no, the only person she was fucking pissed off at was herself.
it wasn’t supposed to get this far.
she wasn’t good with feelings. it was always easier to push away any uncomfortable thoughts or emotions by keeping her body physically distracted, preferably with either a partner in the gym or a partner in her bed.
learning how to box and working her way through all the various martial art forms gave her focus after quitting ballet.
(though it did little to quell the feelings of inadequacy caused by things completely out of her control.)
teaching herself how to use knives and rook’s family dagger was a welcome distraction after she was forced to abandon her aspirations to join the army.
(though digging through rook’s old stuff in the attic in desperate protest – to find anything that would tell her he would’ve supported her – only drowned her in the loss.)
flirting and sleeping with every person who showed interest in her and seemed even an inch better than bobby fucking marks.
(though every little fling, whether a one-night stand or a string of awkward first dates, only added supporting evidence to the story she told herself that no one would stick around for her.)
and it was supposed to be the same with mason.
no strings. no baggage. no goddamn feelings.
ria gripped the edge of her desk with her hands until her knuckles turned white. she already broke her first rule of dating: don’t catch feelings.
you can’t get hurt if there aren’t feelings involved, she reminded herself of the mantra that got her out of several attempts at relationships after breaking up with bobby.
but she could still implement her second rule.
~ instead of heading back to the warehouse right away, mason wandered toward the trees bordering the station that offered a shady respite from the scorching sun against his sensitive skin.
the heat was only going to get worse, but he couldn’t bring himself to leave just yet. even in the dark shade of the trees around him, the sun burned against his skin almost as if it were bare. he winced, not even wanting to think about how much worse it might feel if he wasn’t at least wearing a long-sleeved shirt.
they still needed to work together.
he pushed the seemingly random thought out of his mind as quickly as it had appeared, his body reacting viscerally in disagreement to the sentiment.
this wasn’t about maintaining a working relationship with ria.
this was bigger than that.
at least, he assumed, though he wasn’t exactly sure why.
he lit a cigarette, trying to distract from how his shirt is quickly becoming an incubator for the heat. smoke curled upward as he leaned his head back against the trunk of a tree.
he was always in it for the fun. it made traveling around and the downtime between missions more bearable.
he didn’t really care for hobbies and interests the way nate and felix did. and he could only take a beating from adam every so often.
having fun, especially with humans – who were so easy to rile up and even easier to read – made the endless time pass in a way that felt normal. for him anyway.
learning all the different ways he could elicit sounds from them. figuring out how quickly he could make them peak. knowing exactly what to do to leave them wanting more.
he took a long drag of the cigarette, closing his eyes and wishing the burn in his lungs would linger a little longer. it numbed the burn on the outside of his body.
but no feelings. that always took the fun out of things.
that was the rule.
and ria was fun, there was no denying that. maybe even the most fun he’s had in a very long time.
she knew his rule. hell, it was her rule too.
it was the perfect situation for him.
maybe he didn’t want to lose out on such an ideal situation. or mess up the team dynamic.
he dumped the cigarette butt onto the floor and put out the embers with his shoe.
whatever it was, he knew he wasn’t ready for things with her to end.

2021 in review: Fanfic Writer Edition
I've been tagged by a few friends! And I've taken forever to do this, but I appreciate the tags!
BY THE NUMBERS
words written: I'm going to guess around 200k, since I have three fics that I'm working on that I haven't published yet and they're all between 10 and 15k words atm
words published: 171k words which is so many more than I thought
# of published one-shots: about 15
# of completed multi-chapts: 2
# of one-shots in progress: like wip one shots? I think I have two?
# of ongoing multi-chaps: 2? Everything is a guess rn lol
longest work: All This Time
shortest work: All or Nothing
most chapters in a fic: All This Time
highest # of kudos: It's Just Coffee
highest # of hits: All This Time
top 3 fics by kudos: The previous two and It's Never Enough
top 3 fics by hits: Same as the previous answer
BEHIND THE NUMBERS
most challenging fic to write: I had a hard time writing 'white lies' which is a soul mate au. It's the only soul mate au that I've managed to get through, but that trope always gives me trouble
fic that came easiest to write: 'we all want to kiss our friends sometimes' just flew out of me. I started writing this fic during nap time at work and couldn't really stop until it was done. It's got a lot of me in it
most true-to-the-outline fic: All this time actually did stay pretty close to the outline, and it's one of the only fics that I fully outlined before writing it
most unlike-its-outline fic: Heart of a Champion ended much differently than I planned for it too lol, but that was because some friends asked me to write the kiss
favorite reader freak-out: It has been a blast watching people freak out over It's Never Enough, but I also loved reading the comments that I got for 'we all want to kiss our friends sometimes' because people related with that fic a lot and it felt like a hug every time someone commented
most controversial scene: I wrote a one shot called 'the ache in you' and that had some reactions lol
hottest ask box topic of the year: Updates lol
most loved OC: I don't think I wrote any ocs this year, but the favorite side character was probably Mary (and Reggie)
most hated OC: Again, no ocs, and I didn't write anyone that pissed anyone off this year? Or maybe James' ex from All This Time! Camilla?
favorite things about writing our heroes: They are just so much fun. I love how much they love each other and how much they enjoy life.
favorite villain to write: ?? Maybe I need to write a little less fluff next year
favorite marauder to write: James
most I've cried while writing a scene: I cried while writing 'the ache in you'
most I've laughed while writing a scene: I always laugh when I'm writing Mary and Lily, I probably laughed the most while writing Mary waking Lily up in All This Time with Hamilton lyrics and nonsense about a friendship contract
smuttiest smut scene: Lolz
favorite jily kiss: The kises in All This Time! I really like their first kiss in James' car, but all of them are good. I struggled to write them, but I like how they turned out
easiest trope/thing to write: I love writing the trope that they're in love, but don't know that they other one has feelings for them. I think i wrote this trope the most this year
proudest fic moment: I'm proudest of my fic 'we all want to kiss our friends sometimes' I still love this one sm
any fic regrets?: I just write to have fun, I kind of regret falling off my schedule, but this year has been lax, and I'm not mad about it
2021 fic habits to break: I wrote and published almost everything in the first six months and then I seem to disappear at the end of the year, pop up for jilytober and maybe christmas. I'd like to spread things out a bit better so that I'm not stressing myself out so much
2022 fic habits to make: I have a lot of fics in the work and I'd like them to come out of the works and be seen by the people lol

Experimental style YCH’s Open!
First off please remember that if you yourself are struggling with money you aren’t obligated to try pay me. Please do NOT feel guilty about something like that. A retweet can go a long way.
That being said I also don’t wanna frighten anyone off with the big number but it is what it is so 
I need to put together about $800 maybe more. This will be going directly into my and my family’s credit cards which are all running dry atm. Due to how slow my mum’s business has been since my stepdad passed, and how badly things have tanked since covid arrived I’ve become the sole source for filling up all our cards and my paypal finally ran dry.
Aside from the cards there’s my pet’s medical issues. I need to get my cat a jab for her hot spots ASAP. She’s meant to have one every 3 months cuz she breaks out badly and she licks them relentlessly until they’re infected. We just hit the 3 month mark and she’s started breaking out so I need that jab for her like QUICKLY.
Both of my dogs have degenerative problems in their spines and hip bones. It can’t be cured completely but we use mobiflex to keep them in as little pain as possible. BUT. Mobiflex isn’t available here so we rely on a runner who goes down to SA every 10 days to get it for us and currently we have about a week’s worth left but not enough money to pay her for the next run yet. I also need to get this to her asap cuz eve just 10 days is to long for my doggies to wait.
My last post on this explains why these are experimental style YCH’s so I won’t repeat that. You will still be getting the same quality and amount of effort as before!
Also you can donate if you want to over here, any amount helps and goes directly to my pets and food! 
SET 1
Tumblr media
Rough shading style I know there’s boobs it’s cuz these were old sketches for some OC’s that I never used. The chests can be flat/boobs removed, body types and expressions are all changeable. Specify what kind of bg you would like, otherwise default is simple gradient. Specify what kind of magical effect you’d like for #2 or if you’d like a floating object/anything else instead.
Pose 1 - $60 Pose 2 - $50 Pose 3 - $60 Pose 4 - $50 Pose 5 - $55
HANAHAKI SET
Tumblr media
These will be fully shaded. Flower types are not changeable sorry! Specify colors! Expressions are default sad, but can be changed depending on what you want (i.e. angry/shocked, looking in specific direction, eyes open/closed). Fluid can be removed, color changed, made transparent (like honey/tears) or opaque (like gold/blood).  Hands can belong to other characters (specify) or will default to ghostly figures.
$80 each
All prices are subject to increase based on complexity! DM to grab. 
You can order more than one but I can only take 2 of each at MOST! And these will likely take a lot of time to finish if I get that many requests! I will give updates on status.

Coming Attractions!
Yes, I know it’s Friday, not Monday. <.< ANYWAY.
Before we get started, plugging my Discord server (which is p. quiet lately but it’s there if you want to talk somewhere other than here!); and also we’ll do another Open Question Night because Why Not!
As I said last month, while my askbox is always open, tonight I’ll be actively around to answer questions--about writing in general, anything I’ve posted about here on tumblr; anything on my AO3...let me know what’s on your mind!
Star Wars:
SWBB:
Take a Bond of Fate is officially up! (Previously referred to as just SWBB 2021 or the Dragonshifters AU because I literally titled it less than twelve hours before posting <.<) Well, the first 20k are up, anyway. I will be updating throughout the month and the fic will be complete by the end of the month, per the event rules. (I originally planned to do updates on Tuesdays and Fridays; tonight’s update will be delayed and who knows how well I’ll actually stick to it after tonight but it Will be posted in full by the end of May, I can say that much for sure XD)
As always, I think there are a few things I could’ve handled better/that feel a little rushed, but I think it turned out pretty good! There are some upcoming scenes I’m particularly fond of, but we’ll see if everyone else agrees. The core of this actually ended up being Bo and Padme? Which I was not expecting--I was expecting it to lean hard on the Bo and Anakin parallels, but here we are.
Anyway, there’s some fun bits to come!
Precipice:
No solid update ATM. Uh. Various Life things got bonkers over the past month or two, so TaBoF took pretty much all of my fic brain. However, since that project is essentially finished other than finalizing/polishing each update chunk as I post, I should be able to turn my attention here this month. Which means, fingers crossed, we’ll have a start date sometime in June for Protectors. I’ll post the first Preludes segment at the same time; it will involve Kallus, Lavinia, and Mara Jade, set just before Kallus is reassigned to Lothal.
(Others that I have planned will involve: 1) some combination of Kanan, Ezra, Hondo, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Anakin; 2) Hera and whoever her contact is in this AU, as Ahsoka is otherwise occupied; 3) Whatever Maul is up to in this timeline; 4) Something to do with Palpatine’s fifth apprentice; and two more I haven’t decided on. I am taking suggestions! The purpose of Preludes is to patch some holes now that I’ve decided to write Rebels into the canon, which was not part of my original plan as I hadn’t yet seen it when I started planning/posting this AU. So these are more plot-relevant than the things that turn up in Bonus Content, which is why they’re in a separate fic, but not really enough to make a full arc between Milestones and Escalation, so, there it is.)
our faces like a mirror:
I’m now leaning towards sitting on this and using it for next year’s Big Bang? Because then maybe I’ll finally finish it, lol...anyway, I’m also going to see how people respond to stuff in TaBoF, because that will either Boost my enthusiasm for the project or, uh, the opposite, depending on how people respond to how I write Bo-Katan. So that may change, and I may finally get it out this year instead of next. We’ll see how that goes XD
Other SW Projects:
One of the SW discords I’m on has revived a prompt game we did last summer. I pulled my first prompt but haven’t actually, uh, done anything with it yet. <.< I’ll do that at some point.
As for various outlines or extant AUs I haven’t updated in forever...well, like I said, what little fic brain hasn’t been on BB the past month or two has been drifting back towards Precipice or occasionally co-opted by OFLAM so...yeah, nothing serious to report on that front, lol.
AtLA Projects:
I’m semi-planning/hoping to start posting At Least one of the two longfics I’ve been poking at sometime this summer. I’ve mentioned them here before, but one is long and tragic and focuses on Lu Ten; the other is an Avatar Zuko AU. Not sure which will draw my focus and get up first, but I do plan to write both of them! And possibly more. Because this fandom just Does That to me, lol.
Also, as I’ve mentioned in various times and places--I am pathologically incapable of not creating a bunch of OCs when I seriously fall into a fandom, and my AtLA work, in particular, will probably reflect that. I don’t super plan to write anything really centered on any OCs (I mean, apart from characters who Exist but have very little Canon Characterization (i.e., Lu Ten himself for that one fic, lol); and Lu Ten’s love interest because that’s an important part of the story), but they will be There and Prominent Characters. This is mostly mentioned because I know OCs aren’t for everyone, so that might put you off of my AtLA fic and I figured it was fair to give you a head’s up.
(...although actually I think none of my old fic that I crossposted to AO3 had significant OC involvement except for Glory...but then again that’s all oneshots and a little different.)
Other Fandoms:
BSG/SG-1 (BSG1?) crossover AU is still coming; I keep getting sidetracked from actually finishing it <.< I haven’t even finished the New Caprica and Haven section, I still have to get to the algae planet and then the Resurrection ship and...maybe I’ll end up posting this in chunks...
Uh, nothing else super planned, but as I mentioned last month, this outline might draw me back into BSG fandom a little more actively because it’s another forever fandom of mine.
Original Fiction:
I’m actually really proud of the Regency AU I wrote for a challenge last month, based on my Apocalypse In SPACE ‘verse Lux.
I need to update the Lux and Farglass Cycle archives still, and will hopefully be posting at least one other thing to RF this month, but we’ll see how that goes. I also might or might not be diving into Arthuriana in all its weirdness and glory this summer to prep for actually writing that Lady Mordred idea I had. And there are always other projects on the back burner, but that’s where things stand here.
...I think that pretty much covers it! Not all that much of an update, but as I said, Life got all...Lifey at me, plus BB had a hard deadline, so that’s where the most detail is.
But what about you guys? What are you working on/what do you have in the pipeline? Like I said, it’s an Open Question Night, and I’d love to hear what’s on your mind!

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; MUN & MUSE - MEME.
FILL OUT & REPOST ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
TAGGED BY:  theft.
MY MUSE IS:  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated
Tumblr media
is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. (this 90s kid won’t die)
is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK. (his adult version is according to a lot of people. I think he looks like a dork tho.)
is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. (overpowered.)
are they underrated?  YES / NO / IDK. (overrated.)
were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO. (in his game and like 3 other Links’ games because he split the timeline lmao.)
were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. 
are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. 
how’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL 
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? —  Pretty close. I go by the book and fill in headcanons where there’s cracks or grey areas. In the case of Nintendo retcons, I’ll acknowledge it and try to fit in both “canons” if I can. Like Time’s age I’ve explained before was originally a year older until they decided in the 3DS remake to knock it down a year. Thus, Time’s actually a year older than he says he is because he really doesn’t know his own age!
SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS.  —  Time traveling elf with the power of god and anime on his side. Actually turns into a god. And many other magical creatures. Fought the moon. Refuses to die so he can say hi to his descendant. Sick dance moves.
NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?).  —  Asshole with a bad temper. Became a lich because he didn’t get enough attention in life. Horrible father -- called his own descendant a disgrace and a coward. Forgets everything.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?  —  I’ve loved him since I was younger than young him if that says anything.
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?  —  Good question. I don’t know.
SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.
give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? (when it comes to writing Links there’s almost no wrong?)
do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO / SORT OF?
do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO / ON A RARE OCCASION
do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO
are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO / SORT OF?
are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO. / SORT OF?
are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO. / SORT OF? (Generally no but it depends on other factors? Did I have a bad day? probably then.)
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?  —   While I don’t encourage people to police each other on such things, if I do make a discrepancy with canon y’all are ok to point it out bc I want to be as close to it as I can!! :D Again, there sometimes might be a discrepancy with Nintendo retconning everything lately.
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?  —  heck yeah, let ‘em roll. This goes for any muse!
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?  —   Look. I’ve had someone disagree with Minish Cap’s canon (Ezlo’s “Wishing Cap” is too powerful and shouldn’t have the same ability of the Triforce lmao). I really don’t care. I’ll occasionally write stupid conspiracy theories that are meant to be disagreed with. I don’t agree with those myself! I just think they’re funny because Game Theories are so wild and out there anyway. Example: OCTAVO IS AN ALIEN, PROVE ME WRONG. YOU WON’T.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? — Nintendo would disagree with them?? Link’s personality is up to the player, and in this case, up to the writer.
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?  —  I mean... he is an asshole.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?  — Please do. As I’ve revealed with today’s tumblr update I’m dyslexic and I’ll switch around words and letters without realizing it and sometimes spelling/grammar check won’t catch it. I’m constantly proofreading which means my drafts can take hours to make sure I didn’t mess anything up. If you don’t understand what I typed let me know! ;v;
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?   —   I have a very strong barrier with strangers and can come off as cold, but if I follow someone that means the shields are down with them and I’m p chill otherwise.

[Mun Update]
Tumblr media
[WARNINGS: Bit vent-y, mentions of Depression, briefly mentioned NSFW, Writer opens up about herself. Long.
TL; DR: Streak’s blog will be archived after today due to mental health issues. Flicker’s blog will be deleted since I can tell the same thing would happen there (but he’s gotten no traction so I’m safe atm). Any threads started today will be seen through to completion/allowed to continue after the archive takes place. Streak will be moved strictly to my Discord/Deleted after the archive and threads are all complete.]
Well, that was way too fast.
Way, way too fast.
Over the grand total of a month that I’ve run Streak’s blog, I’ve come to realize just how emotionally damaging it is to run the blog. I apologize to everyone who’s loved Streak’s character, but after thinking it over, I’ve come to a conclusion.
I’ve gotten jealous of my own blog.- And that is far from good. It’s been amazing getting to know everyone through Streak, but.... I can’t keep running his blog. I love him and the worlds that I’ve built with everyone, but... It’s not good for my mental health.
Allow me to explain... (And I am so sorry if my explanation is offensive, this is what I have gathered from analyzing my own thoughts and reflecting on my reactions throughout the blog’s run time.)
So I mostly run OC blogs. I’m not exactly used to the attention that a Canon blog gets, and I have negative memories around playing Canons before. When I was younger, I used to roleplay a lot of RPs in which I would double as a Canon and an OC. Normally I RP’d a Canon for someone else, and they RP’d a Canon for me in return. And then.... They would just... Drop their Canon, which would drop my OC, and I would just be RP’ing as the Canon that they wanted to romance/f*ck/etc.
I was underage at the time, so I didn’t really realize I wasn’t supposed to (I have long since come to my senses and don’t RP NSFW with the underage), but more than once they would drop my OC/their Canon, and then their OC would just full-heartedly pursue my Canon (often for s*x), and my OC would be ignored entirely. While I do put effort into making Canon characters my own when I roleplay as them... It just doesn’t grant me the same fun that comes with RP’ing an OC, which once again is no fault but my own (and I thank ya’ll for RP’ing with my muses thus far).
I get wanting to RP with a Canon, I really do- even those that are really out there and crazy and chaotic and completely different from their actual canon storyline... But I just can’t do that. I was given the idea that when others RP’d with my Canon, they didn’t want to RP with my OCs, which I am normally far more attached to. It is no one’s fault save my own that I fell into this trap again.
I wrote up Streak as a fun side-idea, thinking he wouldn’t get more attention than the OCs, and I actually loved making him-.... I really did. I still do, which is why I plan to keep him- just... Put him on Discord and be... Very careful about who I let RP with him.
I am so, so sorry everyone. When I made Streak’s blog, I had been hoping to finally outgrow this childish mindset of mine.- But it would seem I haven’t. I love ya’ll to tears, and I’m so grateful that you’ve come to love Streak in the month that he’s been in the RPC....
But it’s about time that I stopped letting myself hit that accursed low.
I apologize if this hurts you in some form or manner, I apologize if it’s annoying or you distaste me from this point on. It’s not my intent- it never is- to hurt you or anyone else. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being willing to meet Streak, even if it was just for a short time.
At the end of it all....
..... Thanks for getting to know Streak, and trying to know me. And thank you so, so much for being so supportive of him.
Thanks for reading this, whoever you are. I’m sorry to leave Streak on this note, but I’m happy that I got to meet you all.
May Solaris find your journey well,
-Writer

Y’all I found this amazing aesthetic builder from @lavellanpls so of course I had to like... procrastinate everything and do this for my Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery siblings cause I’ve been low key obsessed with the game ever since it came out and I’m getting tired of always waiting for updates so yeah.
Some more info on my Ravenclaw sibs under the cut. Also hmu if y’all play this so at least we can complain about it together!!
I have a lot to tell u lot about these little shits so buckle up, but first some family history:
their mother is a Greengrass who married an american muggle, no less, and half the family loves him while the other half definitely hates him
her name’s Angelica, and she has a twin sister named Magnolia (plants names are big in the family, hence Nat’s and Jay’s middle names - they both hate them, and their aunt refused to respond to anything but Maggy since before she went to Hogwarts)
Maggy is an auror and was a Gryffindor to her twin sis’s Slytherin
Angelica decided to offer a big fuck you to all the pureblood expectations everyone had of her and went to become a well known international herbologist
that’s how she met David Foxglove in America - he came to pick up his little sister from a wizarding event that Ange was a speaker at and sparks flew (David and his older brother, Marcus, are both muggles, while their two younger sisters, Joanna and Elisabeth, are both witches)
they dated a couple of years while Angelica was making waves in the herbology community and David was getting his masters in mechanics, and then got married and moved to the UK permanently
anyway the war caught up to them and it was very sad and they constantly lived with the fear that someone will come after their children, but alas they all survived only for Jacob to fuck things up
Anyway so, Jacob:
is 7 and a half years older than Natalia
went ahead and got expelled from Hogwarts in February of his 7th year (good job bud u couldn’t hold on for like a few more months huh?)
only has two settings: not interested and utterly obsessed (which is why he ended up where ever he is now)
intelligent and resourceful, but has absolutely no idea how to explain what he’s thinking to people
introverted, never bothered to approach people first, but if he finds you’re worth his time he’s immediately ride and/or die
being sorted into Ravenclaw meant a lot to him because he always felt like he wasn’t as smart as his parents when it came to both muggle and wizarding stuff
got into a duel once because he stood up for a younger student, and punched his adversary in the face in the middle of it (unbeknownst to him, his sister pulled the same move too in her Hogwarts years)
loves his little sister fiercely, and sneakily taught her as much about Hogwarts as he could without their mum finding out
during the war, when there were long periods of silence from his parents, he always felt the safest in the Hogwarts library - something about the place always made him feel welcome and not alone
seems mild-mannered, even shy, but the moment he starts talking about something that interests him he becomes unstoppable
case in point - he had a 4 days long argument with his fellow prefect in 5th year about a specific method of transfiguration (they were both wrong, as professor McGonagall pointed out)
he can successfully cast a corporeal patronus (a gray wolf) - his happiest memory is of the Christmas after the war was officially over, when he got home and saw his little sister again (Natalia later uses the same memory for her maned wolf patronus - it was the last time she saw her brother happy, and not consumed with the cursed vaults)
saw his aunt Elisabeth wear a beanie once and fell in love with them; owns at least 20 of them, wears them with any opportunity, and even learned a spell to transfigure them from almost any fabric
absolutely loves spring and warm weather, but will wear thick sweaters at any give time and will charm them to keep cool so he doesn’t die of heatstroke when there are 25 degrees outside and he’s wearing wool
introduced his sister to american comic books and literature
has an owl named Albert Thomas Curie, because he loves to torment his father and his love of science
calls his little sister Natty, knows she absolutely hates it, yet won’t stop
Natalia:
hates when her brother calls her Natty, ends up calling him JayJay - they were at an impasse at the moment of Jacob’s disappearance when both of them hated their nicknames yet none were willing to back down
both her and her brother pretend their middle names do not exist - their mother loved to torment them both by calling them by their full names when calling them to dinner
 if she gets good feelings about someone, she is also immediately ride and/or die (case in point: everything she does for her friends ever)
hates condescending people more than anything, along with bullies
absolutely adores Rowan, would kill and get killed for her (she sneaked into the library once at 1 am because Rowan was researching something and the common room library didn’t have the book she needed; got detention for 3 days for being caught out past curfew but managed to get the book to her best friend)
loves all of her friends fiercely, and always tries her best to encourage them to become better versions of themselves
also loves that she managed to befriend such interesting people and is always down to do whatever makes her friends happy as long as she’s with them
hates the fact that she had to involve them with the cursed vaults, does her very best to keep them out of trouble, and is always trying to make up for it
ever since she got detention in the kitchens all her friends got used to her appearing at random times with muffins or cupcakes or small sweets for them
low key hates flying, cause she’s terrified of heights, but is actually decent on a broom
likes quidditch well enough, but doesn’t see the appeal in playing it
has a good memory, and is plenty smart, just doesn’t bother studying stuff that doesn’t interest her (tries, though)
when she became an animagus at 14, Rowan laughed for a good five minutes when she saw the maned wolf form Natalia took - her best friend kept saying that the long legs were because she was always running to or from trouble
loves winter, and loves to ice skate
loves Hogwarts and considers it a second home, she’s more happy here than in any of the places she lived until she got her letter
was almost a hatstall, and if she wouldn’t have thought of her brother, the hat might’ve put her in Slytherin instead
is incredibly good with animals, and will try to pet each and every one of them she encounters, no matter how dangerous
she writes with a quill in class, but everything else is written with either pencils or fountain pens - she managed to charm a set of pens so that she always has one in the pocket of her clothes if she needs it
loves working in their home garage with her father (who owns an auto repair shop) and never really got her mother’s green thumb
is very good with the practical application of magic, but struggles to grasp the theory - she works best if she doesn’t have to think too much about it, which works in charms and transfiguration, but homework always evades her and often times Rowan ends up explaining stuff to her
has a black cat named Bucky who hates any kinds of dogs or dog-related animals, but doesn’t mind cuddling with Natalia in her animagus form
always carries extra quills and parchment in class because somehow one of her friends always needs it
I’m sure there’s more but this is what i can think about atm, anyways come yell with me about hogwarts mystery and tell me about your ocs and headcanons!!!!

Where you going for a shark girl and lava boy mirror for the kids
Nope, they were based on Bakugou and Kirishima themselves. Now the real question is, has Horikoshi based Kirishima and Bakugou on shark boy and lava girl? That’s a question I got no answer to, though.
Anon said:That smiling Sero... my heart... can’t take it. You contribute so much to the BNHA fandom... I appreciate you, I appreciate you so much. Thank you, it’s great, all of it is so good
I wouldn’t say I contribute much at all, honestly lol just doodles, but I’m glad you like them! :D
Anon said:Jeez-la-wheeze
...?
Anon said:The comic strip of Baku exposing Kiri's black roots made my day. I now use it too cheer me up.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! glad people are still somehow finding that one hahaha 
Anon said:I'm. So. That comic w the kids was so lovely it's one of my fave things EVER I love how u portrayed them it was so so perfect but. I ran out of tags for the first time bc I was rambling about it so much. That's. how much I love it bless u for my life jfghjghfj
;O; thank you so so much!!!!!! I’m super glad you liked it that much!!! ;A;
Anon said:I LOVE SEEING THE KIDS HELL YEAH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D glad to hear that!!!
Anon said:I feel like That one meme comic would fit the Baku and Kiri fam well the one where someone would swear and the other person with cover the ears of the innocent with a >:O face then the innocent would swear and >:O would beat he crap out of the peep who taught them
Lmao but to be fair considering how Mitsuki is and how Bakugou turned out, I would find it hard to believe if at least one of the kids didn’t end up swearing haha
Anon said:Hi!!! I love your art so much and I just want to wish you happy holidays!!!!
Thank you!!!!! I hope you’ll have great holidays too!!!
Anon said:I really like the kid characters you created they are really cool! (In your opinion which kid is closer to kiri and Baku? I have a mini head cannon about it but I would like to know your thoughts!!) I would love to see more of them when ever you feel in the mood to draw them!! :) love all of you work you are consistent and talented and I really enjoy checking your page to see all the new art you post!!
Thank you for liking them!!!! And hmmmmmmmmmmm let’s say that Mako’s closer to Kiri and Tai to Baku, but not by much - a bit because Mako’s a high energy type of kid and Kiri has energy to spare always, a bit because Tai is the quiet type and Baku’s good at keeping him busy and entertained with things in his comfort zone, but also because back when they adopted Mako Bakugou was... really scared he would fuck it up so Mako ended up growing closer to Kiri first, and because when they adopted Tai Baku was the only one he for sure wasn’t gonna accidentally hurt with his quirk so he grew closer to Baku first. Bakugou’s also better at keeping calm and working out what’s the problem when the kids cry (surprisingly) (Kirishima more often than not ends up crying with them) so since Tai gets easily overwhelmed he seeks him out often - ah well, in general they’re all really close, but, yeah. This is how it is.
Anon said:Were those Kirishimas scars???
They were! I came up with the design after he got hurt but before Hori implied he got no permanent damage, so Rappa’s fight influenced it!
Anon said:YOU DREW MORE KIDS OMG IM FUCKING DYING. IM CRYING. YOU MADE MY NIGHT. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THESE KIDS YOU CREATED AND THIS AU I'M SO GLAD TO SEE MORE OF THEM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOU'RE A BLESSINGGGGG!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Anon said:I did ask how the kids were doing!! Yay I love seeing them! They're great!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! glad to know I didn’t imagine that ask then hahaha
Anon said:I just noticed that Bakugou is playing with Kirishima's foot in that one photo where he's just talking to help keep Kiri's mind off Bad Shit, and omg it's the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen? Just how adorably comfortable and casual they are together and gahhhhh I love them so much
;O; glad you caught and liked that!!!
Anon said:not to be controversal but uhh do you like mp100 or are you full bnha :0
lmao I’m the furthest thing from full bnha you’re gonna find anon, I’m in way too many fandoms honestly, I just happen to always end up drawing bnha lately lol I did post a couple of mp100 things before, tho they’re p old by now :O
Anon said:Consider - minamomojirou
I still don’t understand minamomo tho :O
Anon said:Dude I'm like...legit in love with your art style it's so GOOD it makes me wanna stare at any of your drawings for like. My whole life
*sobs* thank you so much???? ;;;;;
Anon said:The sad paramores make me sad. ;-;
I’m sorry ;-; (.......... that was sort of they purpose tho :0)
Anon said:Idk if this is weird or not, but I love how you draw feet. Like they looks so nice? And I just??? Is it odd to think someone draws feet nice?
I don’t think it’s odd at all! Thank you!!! :D
Anon said:i have a hc that kirishima is from a foster home and at some point fatgum finds this out and is like 'this child is mine now ' and adopts him. he even gets permission to come to the dorms and ask kiri for permission only to watch the mofo cartwheel down the hallway and crash into a wall yelling 'IVE GOT A DAD' happy hugs ensue
That a good headcanon!!!! A pure one!!!! A warm one!!!!! We do know he’s at least got a mom, tho :0
Anon said:Your art always puts a little smile on my face and brightens my day up! Thank you for sharing it with us :)
!!! Thank you for liking it!!!!
Anon said:Hello! I'm not sure if you remember, but a couple weeks ago I asked you about your process making comics! I finally had time to sit down and draw following a similar procedure you described, deciding to start drawing my ideas out on a huge canvas like you do, and I'm AMAZED at how much easier it is to draw on a huge canvas rather than trying to figure out how to lay out panels on individual smaller pages. Thank you so much for explaining your procedure, it helped me out a lot and I-- (1/2)
-- ended up making a comic that I'm actually pleased with for once! (2/2)
OHHHHHHHHHH you’re most welcome!!!!! I’m so glad to hear that actually helped you out!!!!!! :D !!!!!!!
Anon said:The way you seem to have so much fun drawing has inspired me to start drawing, too! I'm pretty shit at it atm but I keep thinking about this thing you said one tine about how it's awesome how one creates something out of nothing when one draws (no matter what the drawing looks like), and that helps me go on! So!! Thanks!!!!!
IT’S TRUE!!!! IT’S AMAZING!!!! YOU’RE AMAZING!!!!!!! I hope you’re having as much fun with your art as you can manage, anon!!!!! *O*
Anon said:Your bakusquad doodles give me life, who do you consider to be the Squad Mom out of the lot?
.....................it’s Bakugou, isn’t it (and thank you so much!!)
Anon said:Ah! I love all your art (even the fandoms I'm not a part of and all your OCs!) I also really like your headcanons and opinions so I have a quick question: Do you have any specific or persisting (as I'm sure it could change a lot) headcanons on what the BNHA kiddos will look like as pros?
I don’t, actually! :O I do hope Aoyama will do something about the lack of redirectors for his laser to his hands, and I ALSO would love for Kaminari to get some close-range weapon (anything metal would work for him, really, but I’ve been thinking tonfas lately 👀), but aside from that I’m all up in Horikoshi’s hands! I hope he’ll make me see cool updates to Bakugou’s costume with this new arc, actually :O didn’t get to see him fighting all that much, during the license exam!
Anon said:Hiya! I really like your art and all, and since I'm on mobile, I normally save it in my phone. Is that okay? I don't repost it anywhere at all! I just like keeping it so I can enjoy your art. I really hope you don't mind because I never claim anything against of or use it for unnecessary stuff. Thanks!! 💞💞 also I really love your art like yes
That’s fine by me!!! Thank you for liking my stuff enough to give up archiviation space in your phone for it hahaha

This post is going to be lost in the sea of the reblogs from my main blog anyway, but it’s a bit of a vent post more than anything.
I am feeling conflicted at the time I’m writing this.
“Why am just using this sideblog right now and not when I supposed to, back when I created it 5 years ago”
Well... 5 years ago, I was in another place of my life. and the last two years of college were... quite a piece of work for me :/. I thought I would have time to develop some ideas around, some concepts I had... and while I did stuff, college was draining my creativity around (OH, and I did stuff... but writing was, I guess, more therapeutic than drawing). I don’t know. I barely remember lots of things I was doing in 2013.
And I always said to myself “I will come back to this eventually”. If anything is to go by, when I was checking my art tag, I realized that there was a HUGE time space between 2013 and 2015 when I started to do things again (and I dumped lots of things in March 2015). Sure, this was also because I was out of college, I mean, sure.
And it’s been 3 years since.
What was the point of updating this blog if I didn’t have stuff I considered to be good back then... and why I waited too LONG to do this. WELL...
I’m very bad at procrastinating. And lots of stuff have been on my head since 2015 (tons of personal stuff that I have detailed before in many of my rant/vent posts in my main blog... I don’t want to drag them here). the “One day I will eventually do this” was a bit of an afterthought.
And then... a few months ago I thought of something that was “this is it!”.
I don’t know if my OCs saved me... but it seems like it is. 
The whole thing about Ellie and Riley... and my sudden thoughts of “this might work as a big project for me” kinda... remotivated me? to look back to my art content from the past 3 years and say “wait, why I’m holding these just in my main Tumblr blog?” I have been posting things also in Twitter (not as frequent as I want to, but I will go later on this), and then it came back to me “why I haven’t crossposting stuff in DA, too? why I haven’t been doing that in this side blog as well?”
Like, I know DeviantArt is a hellhole of its own that has its fair (very fair) side of infamy... but at the same time, I could have a different audience that I barely have here in Tumblr (okay, I admit it’s also hard... -and I do fanart of fandoms that are incredibly niche and mostly dead by now- and things there are also not quite as easy... their tagging system also sucks, tbh... as long as I mention a searchable term in the submission’s description as LEAST I can bypass that). I just... have (doing atm) to revamp my account a bit. Because my art gets drowned in a tons of others’ art posts in Tumblr (or after a time, I cannot bump them again w/o audience’s interest... again, did I mention that most of my fandoms are pretty much dead by now?)
And so, I also thought of this sideblog. I went to change its URL just in case (because brand recognition, I guess?) and use the previous one for another (still sorta related to this blog and my main, but I need to put order in stuff first). But, yes.
The plan is, after being up to date in both here and my DA account, is start crossposting stuff EVERYWHERE at the same time. Higher chances are that I will start posting my art here first (unless fandom appreciation weeks happen? that’s where I’d use my main one), then in Twitter, and finally in DA.
My It All Started with an Ice Cream Float project will have a blog of its own (not sure if sideblog... or revamping a different account that I barely use since 2012) when I finally march on that later this year. Maybe. I’m not sure, yet.
...I’m basically kicking myself because “why I never did this before” :)
The prospect of doing this in fb would be a chaos of its own, so I decided that on that part (because local recognition also needs to be built), the only thing possible I should DO that (if fb doesn’t go down either, lmao) is just a fan page for my project, and MAYBE posting my newer art pieces - both fanart and original. I am not going to crosspost my 2014-2018 stuff there again. I thought it may be easier reblogging these pieces, but  what a huge mistake was that on my part, lmao.

A fully compiled list of suggestions for FortNite

A fully compiled list of suggestions for FortNite
Before you start reading, I think this game is nearly perfect. I haven't enjoyed gaming this much since the release nearly MW2. This is just a list of ideas I have thought of or seen all in one place that could be used to make Fortnite even better than it is now! Not all of these changes are neccessary, however, it would be nice to have Epic see this list so they are aware of some of the things that might need changing in future patches. If I have not given people credit, I apologise, the list is too long for me to go find the OP's of some of these ideas. Also, if you do not like any of my suggestions, let me know why you think it would be a bad idea.
First off the spectate mode needs a serious overhaul. I understand that they don't want teammates to be massive helpers but seriously, there is no reason we should be forced to spectate with no HUD, no map, no crosshairs, no teammates names. One really annoying thing is not being able to see damage numbers coming off enemies in spectate mode. This needs to be updated so I can actually enjoy spectating.
Now that there is no more friendly fire in squads and duos, going into your inventory screen should also show you your team mates inventories.
Be able to spectate your friends while they are in a game and you are in the lobby. I again understand that this may be not wanted due to the previous argument listed, but when I see a friend that is in a game with 10 alive, I want to watch and gee up so badly. – maybe have a 1-minute delay on the spectate?
You should be able to continue running whilst in the inventory. Controls for this should be the right-stick or d-pad. It would be much easier to make inventory changes on the go, especially when running from the storm.
I think that bushes (item and map-bushes) are a good meta in the game; they offer the chance to win to almost anyone. They cater to people who enjoy the stealthy playstyle. That being said, it is far too difficult to see or notice whether someone is in a bush or not, I shouldn't have to shoot a bush to see if someone is in it. Ideally there would be something that would indicate that someone is in it; maybe make it shake/ shimmer every [designated time] or have a different colour, or feet just poking out the bottom very slightly. Also, after using the bush item, there should be some way to remove the bush. It seriously takes up half your screen and if someone is standing 5-10m in front of you in a close fight you legitimately cant see them.
If your bandages stack over 15 when picking up some more, it should not drop your weapon, but rather pick up the exact amount to get to 15 for one stack. No one ever needs more than 15 bandages.
Mini-shields, bandages and grenades should auto pick-up if you already have some in your inventory.
When in spectator mode other teammates should have a glow around them that is visible through walls, eg. CS:GO. This one can maybe be skipped, as it is a bit gimmicky and takes some skill out of the game. I do think that it is fair enough just for the fact that when you're in your forts, sometimes its a clusterfuck trying to find which level people are on and what not.
Console players should be able to bind their own controls. It's surely not too much time or effort to allow this to happen. As well as this, players should be able to switch the order of their building/ assign buttons eg. R1, R2, L1, L2. Also, at the moment there is a bit of delay on console after pressing the build button to being able to rotate through your build options. The delay is really slight, but when I am in a hectic close encounter fight and want to build, I know that I just have to press circle, R1, R1 to get my ramp. So I smash it really quickly but instead of taking me to my ramp, I will instead change a gun and only move one step across to the floor due to the delay. Please change this.
Kill cams. Final kill cam at least. So many times I think I'm in the all clear and just get killed out of knowhere. It'd be nice to know how you died.
After you win the game, give 10 seconds of running around/ emote time to celebrate your win. It would be funny to see all the creative celebrations people would do after winning. Allowing building in this time would be cool too. I saw an idea to even pick an emote that will automatically play when you win. There should also be a "podium" shot almost of you and your squad doing a victory pose or whatever like in COD:WW2
There should be some challenges or achievements which give you awards. Even if its as simple as a different colour umbrella for amount of wins. Green – 5, Red – 10, Blue – 20, Purple – 50, Gold – 100. This” style=”width:100%; height:auto;”>
Bugs
The weapons not picking up glitch has been happening so much more recently. Not sure if something has changed but this needs to be fixed eventually.
I'm not sure if the sniper and shotgun glitches are real or not, but I have definitely had times with each which have made me think WTF after shooting through him. If this is a bug then it needs to be fixed.
Recently I had a glitch that so far I have not been able to recreate. It is a bit difficult to explain so I will give it a go. I was in a fort and I was looking at another guy in a fort about 100m away. I was moving back and forth on my ramp to pop my head out and take cover. It was either my wall or his wall that was a bit broken, but when I moved back and forth passed my wall, I would see a split second shadow/silhouette of his full body through the wall. Made it really easy to snipe him.
If you are switching to a bandage or shield and spamming R2 to use the item, sometimes a 'fake shot' comes from your gun. The gun sounds and feels like it just shot, giving away your position to enemies, but not actually firing the bullet.
Sometimes, when building, your building rotates to try to fit the terrain and then stays locked in that rotation. Can lead to annoying deaths.
Additions
I think the Fortnite combat system is seriously fucking fun. When I play, I often just jump to the most popular areas and run around killing as many people as I can, rather than actually trying to win. There should be some ways we can play this game without having to play a survival based game mode. I think that some form of either 1v1 duels, 2v2 or 4v4 duo and squad battles that take place in various POI's of the map. This could be similair to a counter strike search and destroy type mode, or even a straight out deathmatch. Some people argue "this is a battle royale survival game, dont try to change it". That argument is silly IMO. Why limit the enjoyment we can have with this great unique combat system and force us into one game mode. With 40 million players atm I think that there would be no issues with "stealing" some of the player base to these other game modes. If they were to create some of these game modes, it would ensure so much more longevity to the game. I'm not sure how long I will be able to continue just with the battle royale mode for a year or so.
Similar to the last point, I think that the ability to create custom matches would be a very solid addition to this game. First off, there needs to be a sandbox/practice mode to practice building and to an extent shooting. It should just be a small portion of the loading island with some resources, guns and target dummies. Being able to create a private match with 1 mate just to test certain things out would be really beneficial, and it would also be fun as fuck to be able to 1v1 your friends.
For limited time game modes, I think that a Snipers/pistols or snipers/shottys game mode would be an enjoyable addition. I saw a good idea of having it as a 'Wild West' type mode with only snipers, revolvers and pump shotties.
Edit:
More things on the list
Duos on OCE all the time! Having duos only online from 4-11:30 is seriously shit. After 11:30 all of squads is just duos that cant play anymore cause the servers have shut. I get that Epic wouldn't want to restrict their players from playing with each other, but how often do you have 4 people who can play at the same time not during peak times? I think duos should always be available as it is much more competitive.
Although I love the new map so far, I feel like we might have just gotten too many POI's. I used to think that the east side had maybe 1 too many, but now the west side has probably more POI's than the east. I feel like it just spreads out the population base too thin for there to be exciting games from all of the players. An idea might be to have rotating POI's so they can make the most out of the POI and the models, but reduce the amount lf drop locations for players.
If there is anything you feel that I have missed or should be added, let me know and I will add them on.
