#someone give me time to write pls

Do you have rules or things that you generally don’t respond to? Not in like a pestering way, but sometimes I send in asks and you don’t answer and I wonder if its because Tumblr threw my ask into the void, or if I said something that threw off the vibe and therefore didn’t warrant a response. (Or if you just didn’t wanna answer it that is also super valid!!!)

Just wondering if there were guidelines/rules & regulations or smthing, or if its alright to follow up on an ask? Or if something doesn’t recieve a response should we leave it at that and put the question to rest?

Hmm well there are some, off the top of my head I think it's just mainly don't be rude. But I've also had asks in the past bringing up topics I'm not comfortable with that I've skipped. I think there are other reasons too but I can't remember of them rn. But I know tumblr also likes messing with the ask box! It has happened a few times before and those are just the times I'm aware of. I don't mind people asking about asks as long as they give it an appropriate amount of time (like not asking the next day). I'd say in general about a week for hc type asks since they take longer and probably about 2-3 days for other types since they're quicker. Though it's also important to remember things are pre scheduled so if you send an ask on Monday, unless it's early it won't get seen until Tuesday. (Also Sundays and Wednesdays tend to not have any asks on them).

And with kindness leads to greatness

Patroclus is a kind man, written in between his words of doubt and low self esteem. The way he treats women he encounters with care and empathy speaks volumes then the words he utters.

His mother, everly so writtenly as meek and homely seemed to shine in his eyes as the sandy beaches of his home. As though, supposedly to dispise her from his father's lament. He remembers her simpleness like the warmth of the fading sky. Drifting and disappearing. But as the strings of her lyre, she is there only existing.

When Deidameia got pregnant with Achilles and learned that he will never ever love her, she was angry, disappointed and thrown away. She was promised of the boy and so she gave. And out of sheer destruction of a heart break, she agonizingly seeked comfort from Patroclus and demanded to lay with her so she could even by a small margin feel the soul of Achilles mending her broken heart. Cause as Patroclus quoted he is half of Achilles soul.

She's a victim in all of this as much as she tries to stand between the two lovers. And Patroclus understands this. Bedding her too but out of sympathy and kindness that she wanted to feel.

He was so human that when Briseis was turned into a prize of war, he urged his lover to take her and save her from being soiled by Agamemnon. He befriended her, clothed her, and taught her the way of the greeks. And as more prizes come, if by means possible, he wished for Achilles to take them from the humiliation to come.

In return for his selflessness, he was loved by the girl. Even offering him a child she could bare, knowing full well that she wont be the apple of his eye. But Patroclus could not dirty her like that. He knew she deserved better.

Thetis, on the other hand, had loathed him since the beginning. Yet she unknowingly seeked comfort from his memories of her lost child. Never to truly knowing the boy she had given birth to but only from the words of his lover. Patroclus was at her mercy, begging to reunite with his lover and yet instead of hating her even until death, he sang her Achilles' song.

And with the last hymns of his memory, she obliged writing his name beside her child's. The only motherly thing she had ever done.

Patroclus was the best of the Myrmidons for his sheer kindness alone. The cowardice that was bestowed by his true father was a lie but the name 'Patroclus' that meant glory of the father was true. Chiron is proud of his child. He honored him, using the knowledge he had bestowed and saved dozens of lives of hardened greek soldiers. Memorizing their names and each of their stories like his father did. Although, unlike them, he did not fight with swords and spears, he fought with his empathy in hand.

And the boy he had accidentally killed as a prince? It was not an act of cowardice of his confession, it was atonement. Acceptance of what he had done. Unlike those other kings and princes, he took the punishment as one should supposed to.

And that is why Achilles loved him. And that's why Achilles died when he did. Because he is the mortal half of his supposed to be godhood.

He is his other half, as the poet say.

OH god, sooo many kellin fics. Most were on wattpad honestly.

A lot of them all blur together (also a few kellic fics yikes), but I specifically remember one with an OC? Like kellin cheated on his wife with her and she nearly died or something? Classic wattpad and shitty summary but IT WAS SO GOOD. I think the girl's name was Brooke or Brooklyn. (also keep in mind this was 2012? 2013? wattpad. so... maybe not good by our current day standards but back then it was AMAZING). I can't remember the name but if you want it I would be willing to go on the deep dive for you 👀

SAY FUCKING SIKE RIGHT NOW.

you don't need to deep dive for the fic. her name was brooklyn mackenzie or some stupid shit, the fic's name is 'The Secret Affair', and it's going to haunt me until the day i die because i wrote it at 13 years old.

congratulations, nonnie. you can officially say you are one of the og readers of my fics. i certainly hope my writing has improved this last decade.

(unless there was another popular kellin fic with the exact same plot as mine. in that case, this is embarrassing).

one another thing i'm supremely feral about when it comes to this crowman edgelord mcshadypants is that he legit can be so blindsided by people being legitimately heartless and uncaring

. . . allow me to explain— awnjgoha

yes, he himself is ruthless because the life he lives and the environment he lives in forces him to be. because he cannot risk having any softness or attachments that can be exploited because that's the thing !!!

everyone has a weakness no matter how typically cold and detached you are, there's always at least one thing (and oftentimes one person) that is a . . . shall we say pressure point that can be used against you

and the most interesting thing to me is that kaz often uses people's families and other similar attachments as his leverage. he basically banks on the reality that "hey, this guy cares about his wife, so if she's threatened, he'll do what i ask" or "this woman's love for her children is stronger than anything in the world; she'd bend over backwards to protect them, so let's do something with that"

kaz himself grew up with a good family he had a brother he adored he had a great dad he cannot fathom the dysfunctional families where a parent legitimately despises their kid or vice versa, so when he does come across that reality . . . ?

cough Wylan and Jan cough

it honestly always throws him off similarly to coming across someone who has zero attachments or genuine affection for anyone else; it's wildly outlandish to him and honestly disturbing if he just cannot find anything to them

Wish I could tell my readers that having two very distinct genres clashing in one story is both a major narrative tool and vital foreshadowing in the context of metafiction.

And I can! In about 30k more words.

sorry but please elaborate on how teto x teto is uncontroversial

Hi anon. I'm answering you in good faith 'cuz I'm assuming this ask is in good faith. It got long because I always write a lot, but please read to the end. Thanks!

Teto x Teto is uncontroversial because selfcest (shipping a character with themself) isn't real or abusive; it doesn't hurt the characters themselves and it doesn't hurt people in real life. It's different from "incest", which is bad because of abuse and power dynamics and all kinds of problems, because selfcest is literally the idea of "shipping yourself with yourself". In other words, it's almost like "repackaged self-love", because it's you. It's literally you. It's not a different person-- it's you, and I don't really see a problem with loving yourself. I think more people should love themself, so I find all the Teto x Teto art I find on Twitter rather cute. People were shipping the different versions of Pokemon Miku with each other too, and I found that cute too. It's totally fine if it's not your thing, but instead of having me explain why it's uncontroversial and harmless fun, I'm curious what makes it controversial? Selfcest can't even really happen in real life, so this is also one of the few things that are truly confined to fiction and thus have no way of normalizing something "problematic", unlike promoting something like incest.

To get into it further, I've been seeing fanart of people shipping "Liar Dancer" Teto with "Ultra" Teto. In a way, that's selfshipping/selfcest too because they're both Teto, but they're Teto's from different songs and could thus be seen as "AU" Teto's. I have no idea why people ship them tbh but it's like shipping yourself with an AU you. Both of them are you but both "you"s are also different enough to make it into a two-person relationship (instead of a one-person one) in case you think it's better like that. Idk. I'm reminded of all the Sans x Sans shipping... Like, I just checked AO3 randomly and there are almost 10k works tagged with that pairing...

I know appealing to the masses isn't a moral argument, so that's not why I'm bringing that up. I'm just bringing up a famous "selfshipping" example because it really highlights the pure fiction/fun/entertainment of it: people made all the AU Sans Undertale charas by themselves and shipped them with each other and made fanfiction/fanart for fun. AU Sans such as "edgy Sans" or "swap Sans" don't even exist in the original canon, but people made them for fun. In the same way, Teto's existence as a voice synthesizer allows for interpretation (her creators literally encourage it), so I didn't have to make two Teto's, one UTAU and one SynthV. You can also treat Teto as one person, who started in UTAU but then moved on/switched to SynthV. In fact, in some ideas I have, I do want to treat them as the "same person" who grew up/changed her style, so yeah: this is 100% fiction. 1000% fiction.

I like separating them as different charas 'cuz I saw other people do it and I adore the idea (since they're Teto's from different software and I do separate them in my head, personality-wise), but they're still Teto (the same girl) in the end. I know this is 100% in response to my latest fanart I made for fun, but I need to emphasize that I could address any concerns you have with the Teto x Teto love by literally reimagining them as the same chara instead of different ones. Since you see how literally fictional/manufactured/fabricated it is (since this is just a fun way I like to imagine them and it's not canon at all, plus I clarify that I don't ship anything problematic), then I hope you see how harmless it is and how it's purely for entertainment value.

I write a lot 'cuz I don't know from which angle you're coming at me with, but the whole "sisters" thing is also a made-up thing I like for fun. I put quotes because if I ever like Teto x Teto stuff, then I don't imagine them as sisters-- I hope that's obvious... Teto x Teto stuff isn't like shipping sisters: it's like shipping yourself with yourself/loving yourself. (A different version of yourself.) That's the main thing that differentiates it from weird stuff like incest, so I hope that part's been properly conveyed; I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said...

I'm a small blog and I like things that don't hurt anyone and that I think are cute, so when I saw an ask like this, I got really surprised. I can't tell if you're asking me in good faith or if you're actually mad at me and take issue with me liking something that's 100% fiction. I know weirdos use that line to justify liking actual harmful stuff that normalizes harmful ideas, but selfshipping is actually one of the least "able to happen in real life" things out there, so I really hope you're not out to get me and I'm just being cautiously defensive for the sake of it. 😭 The closest thing to selfshipping happening irl is someone literally cloning me and we're born at the same time in the same environments and everything, but the moment the other "me" grows up, it's hard to argue if they're actually "me" because we're distinct individuals with distinct thoughts, memories, experiences, etc., even if you try to control for all of that. The second closest thing to selfcest happening irl is a portal opening up irl and another me stepping into my current world, but just because I like Teto x Teto selfshipping doesn't mean I have to like it all the time/for myself too. 😅 Just like with everything, I have standards that I like to apply when it comes to what I like in fiction and what I like in real life, so there really isn't a real life equivalent that explains why Teto x Teto might be controversial... I suspect it's the whole "related by blood" (as they're the same person) and "incest" comparison, but it's literally different.

That is literally herself and

I do not imagine weird things going on here. I made it up, I can imagine them however I want, and I already clarified that I don't like controversial stuff, so I'm not imagining them doing controversial stuff. That alone makes it uncontroversial, even if selfshipping as a concept is uncontroversial too.

Selfshipping is one of the purest "I'm doing what I want and not hurting anyone" ideas, so I'm surprised you asked about that instead of claiming that Miku x Teto is proship (it's not; I imagine them as similar ages).

I wrote some stuff about how I imagine SynthV Teto and UTAU Teto and how they're wholesome and cute and I prefer Miku x Teto anyway so it's more like they like the same person, but I dunno how much you care about my headcanons and when I hit CTRL + Z, that paragraph kinda got deleted, so whoops.

I'm not into spreading negativity or discourse, so if you engage with me in good faith, then I'll do the same, but all in all, if you don't like it, that's totally fine and valid. I like it though, and that's fine and valid too. If you have beef with me for liking it, I hope you just block or avoid me because I hate feeling like I have to walk on eggshells around someone and I've already explained why what I like is uncontroversial, so please don't try to "moralize" me away from something that I like for fun and that brings me joy. I'm not the only Teto x Teto liker so idk if you've sent this ask to other people too; I genuinely hope you're not harassing people over their ship tastes (esp if it's something as small/fake as selfshipping), but if this is a genuine question, then I hope my answer helps explain it!

I've always adopted an "as long as this isn't hurting anyone" mentality, and selfshipping is like one of the purest things ever, like self-love. Again, I'm a Mktt lover all the way, but if any part of my response sounds defensive, then it's because I'm already on-guard about people possibly trashing my interests 'cuz they think I like weird stuff when I literally don't. (Mktt's existence alone.)

If you send me further asks on the matter and they're hateful, it's likely I'm gonna delete them 'cuz I'm not here to spread negativity or engage in discourse. I want to be happy here, not upset or have my feelings of distrust justified/intensified, lol.

If you sent that ask in good faith, though, I'm sorry for casting doubt or suspicion on you! Your tone is hard to read and I'm heavily against my safe spaces being destroyed, like what Twitter already did to my side account even though I didn't do anything wrong www.

Thanks for the ask and have a nice day! If I receive any more asks, I hope they're positive ones. ^^
