Bucky is such a fool. He let the one person he loves the most leave after an argument. He said a lot of hateful things to push you away and it seems that this time it might be for good. Why couldn’t he see that he deserved a life away from constantly going on missions? You’re willing to settle down with him and give him the normal life that he always dreamed of. Now he is haunted by pictures of you both together in happier times scattered everywhere. His phone is in his hand ready to dial your number but would you pick it up? Has he crossed your mind as you have with him? Screw it, he dials your number and lets it ring. But you don’t pick up. God, he was such a fool to let you go. 

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?

For me, it happens all the time

Bucky looks at the clock and sees that it’s a quarter after one in the morning. The feeling of loneliness swarms over him as he drinks his whiskey slowly. He thinks back to the sadness in your eyes when you ask him, “Are you sure you want this?” God, no he didn’t want this to end but he was too proud of a man to admit it. Looking at the locked screen on his phone he sees your smiling face. He wants to call again, though a part of him tells himself to let you go so you can be happy. Bucky doesn’t know what he’ll do without you but if this is what a broken heart feels like he never wants to feel it again. The other part of him is screaming that he needs you. He needs to see your smiling face, hear your laughter, and taste your lips. What he would give to have you come through that door again and tell him you can’t live without him. Though if he was honest he doesn’t know how he is going to live without you. Dialing your number again he silently prays that you will pick the phone up but it goes to voicemail. 

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?

For me, it happens all the time

Bucky pours another glass of whiskey as he thinks about the life you could have had together. You both had talked about having a family one day and getting that little house with a yard big enough for a dog. Yes, that was the life that could have been. But it’s all a distant memory now. He should have never allowed going on missions so much to be the deal breaker between you both. He deserves a chance at a normal life. Grabbing the glass of whiskey he downs it in one gulp. Bucky promised he wouldn’t call but fuck it. While he has the courage he quickly dials your number and listens while it rings. After the fifth time ringing, it goes to voicemail.  Dammit, he screwed up. He just hopes that you’re sleeping and not ignoring his call. Maybe he should try to sleep as he is feeling a little buzzed. Though how could he sleep knowing you won’t be there in the morning? As Bucky leans back on the couch he tells himself he would rather have these hurt feelings than feel empty inside. Unbeknownst to him, his finger dials your number again. 

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

Bucky shut his eyes for a few minutes and woke up to someone shaking him. He groans his disapproval and slowly opens his eyes. There you are staring at him with a sad smile on your face.

“Bucky, I saw you called me several times. Is everything okay?” You sound concerned as you ask him. He looks awful and smells heavily of whiskey. You notice the pictures of you both are scattered everywhere.

He looked over to the clock on the wall and it was just after three in the morning. You came over this late? “I’m fine, sweetheart. I was just drinking some whiskey. No need to worry about me.”

“Does this have anything to do with the argument we had?” You question him as you look at how much whiskey is missing from the bottle. 

He sighs. “No, yes, maybe. I just wanted you to know I didn’t mean anything that I said earlier. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life. I want the future we talked about. I want out of the Avengers if you still want to as well. Just say the word and it’s done.”

Tears spill down your cheeks as you nod your head. “I do want that but Bucky you hurt me. Saying you don’t want kids…”

“I was an idiot. I do want them with you. I want the house, the yard, everything. Just give me a chance to prove myself to you.”

A small smile flashes across your face. “Well, I hope you’re serious because Bucky I’m pregnant.”

Bucky sits up quickly and pulls you into his lap. He kisses you passionately, tongues slowly dancing together as you grip him harder against you. When he pulled away so you could both breathe he let out a chuckle. “I’m so freaking happy.” Finally, everything is going to be alright. You need each other and so both of you vow to never make drastic decisions again. Today is the beginning of your forever, just the three of you.

ART/OC’S Q&A

Do you take requests?

No, but I do take suggestions! The main difference is that I can pick and choose between suggestions for ideas that I like and want to draw from, you're welcome to send in suggestions whenever! Obviously don't take it personally if I never draw your suggestion, they are just drawing ideas to me and I would go insane if I drew EVERY single suggestion I get!

Can you draw my OC/AU?

As much as I love everyone's OC’s and AU’s, I cannot draw for everyone, and to be honest I am a lot less likely to draw someone's OC/AU if I’m requested. Don’t take it personally, I have a weird thing where I would much rather gift someone art rather than be asked to draw it for them, it makes it feel like my idea and therefore I’m more passionate about doing it for them! It’s why I don’t request people directly to draw anything for me. Again everyone's ideas are amazing and I love seeing how creative people are. It's just that I'd much rather gift people art of their OC/AU than be requested to draw it, I will draw things for people when I have the motivation to do so!

Can I draw your characters/AU's/designs?

Yes! You are always welcome to draw any of my characters, AU's or designs! Please make sure to @ me in your own post if you do so I can see it and reblog it! I'd prefer to have any gifts for me be posted instead of sent to my ask box, as asks can sit in there for a while and I want others to see your amazing work ASAP, though I don't mind either way!

Can I write something with your character/AU’s/headcanons?

Yes!!! That would be so awesome!!! You are welcome to come to me to ask for advice on writing about my characters and stuff but yes you are welcome to write for them! I cannot write to save my life (dyslexia/ADHD mega combo lol) so I look up to anyone who can write fanfics and such, you guys are so cool!

Can I use your work for icons/banners/edits/etc.

Yes you can! No need to ask permission, I would appreciate credit being given to me, either to this blog or to my Twitter account, an @ to either account name is enough for me though a link is preferred. You are welcome to edit my work for icons/banners/edits as well, again as long as credit is given.

Can I repost your work?

Reposting is only allowed provided credit is given! Again, either to this blog or to my Twitter account, an @ to either account name is enough for me though a link is preferred. Do not repost my work claiming it as your own, that's weird. If i’ve drawn something for you you’re more than welcome to repost it with credit as well!

Can I copy/trace your work?

Do I really have to say this? No please don't do that, you don't learn from tracing other artists work, use real life references images if you need help learning anatomy. I don't consider style copying to be a thing so I'm fine with people incorporating my style into their own, and sketching over my work to get a rough sketch is fine, just don't line over it and call it your own.

Can I used your work for AI?

No, fuck off.

Why do you tag some of your art as suggestive?

Just to be safe, I know I draw “sus” stuff sometimes and I mainly want to make sure people keep themselves safe when viewing my stuff. My blog will never explicitly post anything NSFW, the suggestive tag on my art is mainly for sex jokes, pinup style clothing/posing or ass. Again it is just to be safe, you’re not obliged to reblogs with the same tag as me, it’s just to make sure people don’t see something they don’t want to.

Who are the recurring characters that keep showing up here?

Oh, you mean my children? Let me give a rundown:

Mango (He/They) - Mango is my sona! I use him all the time for answering things and also just in general. He is part Dr Mario and part MLP pony from another dimension that somehow got sucked into the SMG4 universe. He works as a doctor in the SMG4 universe, he’s a bit cynical at times but he’s still a kind and caring guy, he’s just sick and tired of all the BS that happens in the SMG4 universe.

Smug (He/Him) - Smug was originally a weird bootleg SMG3 plushie that got turned into a human somehow, he is still a plushie just much bigger now. He spends all his time scamming people in various ways to get what he wants out of them and has no care or regard for them. He has a friend/partner who’s a bootleg SMG4 plush, however she wasn’t transformed as much as him and therefore is the same as before, she can just move and talk now.

Telly (They/Them) - Telly is a happy little accident that somehow occurred out of nowhere, they are the child of Mr Puzzles! They are a shy yet friendly little child who just wants to make friends and watch TV. They struggle with meeting people due to their speaker not working as they can only make static noises to communicate, but they are adventurous and always looking to have fun! They love and look up to their father a lot, he's their biggest inspiration.

If more get added I’ll put them here, you are always welcome to ask me about any of them! I love talking about them! All of them have their own tags on my blog that are free to be used by others as well!

Do you have any AU’s?

Yes! I have a werewolf SMG4 AU! I need to work on it. Werewolf SMG4 is a version of SMG4 who's been cursed to turn into an out of control werewolf every night, his friends are constantly working to try and find a solution to this curse while 4 is busy trying not to get anyone killed. It's very angsty and sad I promise, one day I will work on it more, you are welcome to ask about it whenever! It might motivate me to work on it more lol.

Fic Writing on Tumblr - Tips

Hello friends! I'm sure there's a million of these style posts floating around the good ole hellsite, but I thought I'd make a little post to tape up on our corner of the internet for any of the writers (old and new) that are interested in some tips for posting fic on tumblr 💕

Tip #1 - Always Use a Read More

This is crucial if you actually want people to reblog your fic. People don't generally want to subject their followers to scrolling through an entire chapter. I know it may seem like you're more likely to "hook" readers by putting all the story up front, but people who may have ordinarily read your fic may be disinclined simply because you decided not to follow this curtesy. As a general rule, I always put a "read more" on any fic that exceeds 500 words.

Tip #2 - Be Mindful of Using Art

Fandom is a community and people who read fanfic are part of that community. A lot of times, readers on tumblr will know fandom artists and their reposting rules. Always use credit if you will be using fanart as a header for your fic and always double check the artist allows this. Usually their reposting rules are stated very clearly on their instagram bios.

Additionally, you need to be aware that the art you're using is setting a first impression for your fic. For example, if you use AI art as a header, many users will decide not to reblog your fic simply because they do not support AI. The same goes for using art of whitewashed characters.

I would personally recommend creating a banner or moodboard for your fic, which will give you much more creative license to give the impression you feel is truest to your story! I use canva for all of my banners and moodboards, though you may find other apps that work better for you!

Tip #3 - Taglists

It is common curtesy to only tag people if they have requested to be on the tag list. There are some exceptions to this, where you may tag friends that you know don't mind or users who have openly encouraged their followers to add them to taglists (like me), but as a general rule of thumb, you should avoid tagging people unless they explicitly ask.

If you want to use a taglist but don't know where to start, I would recommend posting a (small) teaser or a synopsis of your fic in the appropriate tag and simply ask people to interact if they'd like to be added to the taglist.

Tip #4 - Use a Masterlist and hyperlink, hyperlink, hyperlink!

People are more likely to read your work if you make it easy for them to find. Generally, people won't spend time scrolling through your archive trying to find chapter 1 of a multi-chaptered fic you just posted. Making a masterlist that you link to each chapter will help new readers start at the beginning. And if they like your writing, a masterlist will also help them do a full binge of your works!

My friend @ofduskanddreams also recently did a poll here that suggested most users (at least in our corner of the internet) prefer to read fic on AO3. If you'll be cross posting to AO3, I definitely recommend adding a link on each chapter as well as linking your AO3 in your bio or main masterlist.

Tip #5 - Use appropiate tags and content warnings

Foremost, be respectful. While it may be tempting to use the ship tags for any background relationships that appear in the fic, I advise only tagging the ships that are central to the story. You may think using tags for background ships will give your fic a wider reach, but really you're just going to clog those tags with content that isn't really related to the ship. People, generally, don't appreciate this! Fandom is a community and our community is fairly small, so you definitely don't want to set off on the wrong foot by trying to "game" the tag system. People go into those tags because they want to see content for their ship and seeing an improperly tagged fic will certainly turn them off reading it and possibly reading anything from you in the future!

Additionally, if there is anything in your fic that might warrant a content warning (e.g. graphic violence, non-con or dub-con, blood, torture, etc.), then you will want to ensure you label this upfront. Both in the tags (with the format tw: blood or cw: blood) and stated clearly at the top of the fic (E.g. "Content warning: this fic contains graphic depictions of sexual violence). As a curtesy, all potentially triggering or NSFW content should be put beneath a read more.

Tip #6 - Fanfic Is a Community

I really can't express this enough! If you are not experiencing the engagement that you want on your fic, try engaging more with the wider community! Reblog and leave comments on other people's fics, send other people asks, reblog art and headcanons, participate in event weeks.

And lastly, because this is a community, be concious of the posts you make outside of fic. Your writing may be good, but if you make unlikeable posts about other characters, ships, etc., people may decide they don't want to support your works on principle. While it's impossible to please everyone and it's important to be true to you, it's important to understand that your blog represents your writing just as much as your writing represents your blog.

My Sweet Enkeli: Chapter 4

"Enkeli": finnish word for "angel".

When Noah Sebastian met Nori Nurmi for the first time, he knew he wanted her more than anything. She was beautiful like an angel and dangerous like the devil.

♡ Characters: Noah Sebastian × Nori Nurmi (OFC).

♡ MASTERLIST HERE.

"What is he like?" The words come from Noah's mouth without too much thinking. 

It's almost time for the sun to rise while they lay together on the messy bed, nothing to cover their naked bodies as they feel the cool breeze coming from the opened window. They talked all night long about the most random things like their favorite foods and funny tour stories but Noah couldn't stop thinking about the fact that someone broke Nori's heart to the point that she totally closed herself. He didn't want to touch on such a sensitive subject but curiosity is almost killing him. Nori seems to be so strong and hard to knock out that Noah finds it curious that someone could make her feel so weak.

"Who?" She asks, brushing her feet on his calf as they face each other.

"The guy you told me about". 

"Well… He's tall, but doesn't have as many tattoos as you. His hair is light blonde shoulder length, blue eyes…".

"Is he a singer?".

"Yep".

"So you're into singers, huh?".

"Shut up!" she punches him in the chest.

Noah giggles at her reaction, it seems that she isn't bothered to talk about the Finnish blonde singer with blue eyes. She is trusting him enough to tell him about her feelings.

"You are very different from each other. He's like a vampire, there's always darkness surrounding him. And you are like the sun… You bring light" she says. 

"Do I?".

"Uhum" she approaches him.

The feeling of Nori's lips slowly touching his own makes Noah sigh. He never wanted anyone so bad in his life and now he finally can have it, taste her tongue swirling around his mouth while he grabs her by her waist trying to get her closer. Looking deep into her eyes he feels lucky to have her, even though he doesn't have any hope that this will happen again.

•

Nori feels different watching Noah. Now that she knows what he is capable of doing, she wants to do it again. Seeing him on stage, singing with his heart and soul makes her sigh, the scenes from the last night repeating in her mind. The fact that she slept in the same room as Noah didn't raise any speculation on the bands and crew. Her bandmates actually would not believe it if she said she had sex with him the whole night. They know what she had been through with the guy she fell in love with and how this changed her personality when it comes to relationships - even the most casual ones. 

The band starts to play Nowhere To Go and Noah knows that it's Nori's favorite. He tries to watch her and focus on the audience at the same time but she caughts his attention every damn time that she is there, swaying her hips in such a very sexy way just like when she was riding him - a memory that brings a large smile on his face and he can't hold it. She knows that he wants to stop everything so he can sit and watch her dance for him and that's why she makes sure to show her dance skills, the sexual tension between them growing in a level that it's almost driving them insane. 

For the first time ever, Noah can't wait for the concert to end so he can run towards Nori and take her somewhere where he can fuck her senseless. The band just played the last song and they are thanking the crowd, Noah trying to keep an eye on Nori while she walks backstage. 

The last thing that Noah would want to do is to disappoint his fans, so he spends some time throwing guitar picks to the crowd and saying goodbye. When he gets the chance, he goes straight backstage, urging to find Nori like a hunter after its prey. He walks fast towards a small and dark corridor that leads to the exit, probably a place that only the employees from the venue tend to go. He sees Nori standing there near the exit door, her back against the wall as he plays with some locks of her hair. She smirks when she sees him, lust in his eyes as he walks slowly this time. 

"You found me" she says.

Nori opens the door of a small room that seems to be a deposit. There's no light but they can see some stuff like paper boxes, cleaning products and a table with some small boxes on. She quickly pulls Noah inside, kissing him while she tries to unbutton his pants. Her despair makes Noah laugh, he feels proud to see what he has done with the Finnish singer. 

"Take this shit off" she grunts. 

"You're too desperate, angel. I'm the one who should be acting this way, you were teasing me a few minutes ago, shaking this delicious ass of yours" he grabs her buttcheeks and leaves a loud smack, making her giggle. 

Noah quickly grabs Nori and puts her on the table, spreading her thighs so he can fit between them. She pulls his shirt off so she can touch his fully tattooed abs, feeling his skin wet with sweat, some drops falling slowly towards his crotch. Her hand goes straight to his bulge and inside of his underwear, feeling his cock throbbing on her hand as she caresses it, her eyes catching all of his reactions, his mouth opening while the moans start to come out. 

"You like to feel me touching your cock, don't you?" She asks, teasing him hard. 

"It's better when it's inside of you". 

Noah's large and strong hands pull her by the hips, making her sit near to the end of the table. The fact that Nori is wearing a skirt makes everything easier and soon he is pulling her panty down, freeing her arousal so he can have full access to her. His fingers enter her core in a hook, a smile on Nori's face while he fucks her with his fingers just the the way she likes it, but she is not in the mood for foreplay. 

"I don't want your fingers, I want your cock deep inside of me. Now" she sounds demanding, which makes Noah laugh.

He penetrates her roughly, making her feel a little pain at first but soon she gets used to him shoving all his length inside of her core in slow but deep thrusts. She tries to open her legs more and all those years of yoga are helping her now, her hands pulling him closer by the hips as he quickens the pace. 

"Fuck, Noah… I want faster!" she grunts.

"Such a needy slut you are…".

He does what she demands of him and soon Nori starts to feel her body trembling as the orgasm get closer, one of her hands grabbing the wood of the table while the other one is on Noah's nape, his forehead touching hers as she can feel him breathing against her face. He feels different from last night, definitely rougher while he thrusts inside of her. She knows how it feels to sing in front of a big audience, there's too much adrenaline going on inside of them both and he is getting if off by fucking her real rough and good. Nori definitely likes it, she loves to feel him being so tough on her. The footsteps from outside makes everything more exciting.

"I think there's someone outside" he says.

"I don't give a fuck. I'm so fucking close".

Noah's fingers start to play with her clit, making the apex closer at each second. She needs to fight against herself to hold her scream when she gets there, a delicious orgasm taking her completely as she grabs the table so tight that her knuckles turn white. 

"Fuck… Holy shit!" She whimpers desperately near Noah's ear.

"Yeah Angel, cum for me. Cum all over my cock".

The feeling of making Nori feel so much pleasure makes Noah even more turned on. A few more thrusts and he cums inside of her, letting out some moans of pleasure as he tries to catch his breath. 

"It feels so good, baby" she whispers, taking a few locks of hair from his sweaty forehead and leaving delicate kisses on his neck. 

"It does, my angel… you've been so good to me".

Nori tries to find something to clean herself up when Noah finds a package of napkins. 

"Let me help you" he says, cleaning her slowly. 

They laugh at each other when they realize how risky their acts have been. Anyone could have heard them having sex in a dark deposit or even opening the door and catching them in the act, but they didn't care at all. They needed to feel each other again, it was worth the risk. 

"You leave first. I will be in the greenroom in a few minutes" Nori says, still sitting on the table.

"Okay. See you later" he smirks. 

Noah leaves a soft kiss on Nori's lips before he carefully opens the door, trying not to make any noise. Luckly, there's no one outside to catch him leaving the deposit, which makes him sigh in relief. There's a large smile on his face as he walks towards the greenroom, where he finds his bandmates relaxing after the show.

"Dude? What the hell have you been?" Folio says.

"Just hanging around" Noah tries to look chill. 

"You seem happy. What happened?" Nicholas says.

"It was a great show, the crowd was amazing".

Of course everyone finds it weird the fact that Noah can't stop smiling and is full of energy like he has been electrocuted or something. He tries to act normally but he is pacing while he grabs a bottle of water. He drinks the whole bottle like he was lost in a desert for a year. 

"You have never been this happier on this tour" Nicholas says. 

Noah and Nicholas have been best friends since forever so they both know each other very well. It's better for Noah and Nori to hide their relationship a little bit more if they don't want anyone to find out. 

•

Nori's phone keeps buzzing all night; the text messages don't stop coming. Her roommate, Auri, wonders what's going on with her friend. The singer can't stop smiling while her face is glued on the phone's screen, giggling every 2 minutes while Auri tries to sleep. 

"Aren't you going to sleep? It's almost 2 a.m." the bass player complains. 

"I will" Nori doesn't pay too much attention to her friend.

Noah and her are chatting for a few hours non-stop. Nori loves how funny he is and how he can make her laugh with the silliest jokes.

"Who is it?" Auri asks.

"Nobody". 

"Then why are you smiling like a fool bitch?".

Nori is feeling a huge desire to share with someone what's going on between her and Noah, but she doesn't know if it's a good idea. At the same time, Auri seems the perfect person to share her secret with: she won't judge her, won't tell anyone and won't make a fuss about it. 

"Do you promise you will keep the secret?" the singer asks, sitting on the bed.

"Yes" Auri rolls her eyes, still buried on her blanket.

"I'm talking with Noah. The night I slept in his room… well, I didn't sleep at all".

"You fucked?".

"A lot. And we had sex inside a random deposit at the venue tonight".

"Wow…".

There's not much emotion in Auri's reaction, which makes Nori relieved. She wants to deal with this naturally and not make a big deal about it. If she had told Lara or the drummer Maila they would freak out. 

"I'm really surprised. Of course everyone noticed that Noah is very into you but I would never expect that you would reciprocate". 

"Me either. I don't know how to explain what happened to me". 

"I just want you to be careful, okay?".

Of course Auri is talking about what happened between Nori and one of the singers from Blind Channel, Joel Hokka. She knows how her friend got hurted in what was supposed to be "just for fun" sex and nothing else. 

"I know and I thank you for caring about me. But this time is different. Noah is different. What I feel for him is a huge affection, I like him as a friend, a real good friend and we are very physically attracted to each other. Have you seen him smiling? Damn! And he is so hot, his body is perfect. I just know I can trust him and that's why I like him" Nori says.

"But what about him? How does he feel about you? Are you sure that he is not feeling something else for you?".

This is enough to invade Nori's thoughts and make her lose her peace of mind. What if, this time, she is doing what Joel did to her? It would kill her slowly if she hurt Noah's feelings, she doesn't wish for anyone to suffer like she did, especially such a good person like Noah.

Meanwhile, Noah is sharing the room with his best friend Nicholas. They were supposed to be watching some anime but Noah it's focused on his phone and the conversation with Nori.

"Are you talking with her?" Nicholas asks, not taking his eyes from the tv screen.

"Her?" Noah pretends to not know what his friend is talking about.

"Nori".

"No…".

"You're such a bad liar to me". 

He knows that Nori asked him to not tell anyone about their thing, but Nicholas is his best friend and he trusts him more than anyone; he would put his hand on fire for him. 

"Yes, it's her. But, please, don't tell anyone" Noah says.

"So… what's happening between you two?".

"You know…" Noah laughs a little bit shy "That night when she slept in my room…"

"Oh!" Nicholas interrupts him "I got it".

"Yeah… it was really good, man".

"I kinda knew it but I wasn't sure. Tonight when you disappeared after the show I knew that you were doing something naughty". 

"It was that obvious?".

"Definitely. I just wasn't sure that it was with her. But it makes sense now… the way she was looking at you during our set… dude!" They laugh like teenage boys talking about their hot teacher or something like that. 

"She is amazing… so beautiful!".

"Are you falling in love with her?".

"No, not really. I mean… Maybe if the circumstances were different I would easily fall in love with her. But we live on different sides of the planet, it would be really bad if we take this to another level".

"And what about her?".

"I don't know… she told me about a guy from a finnish band that she fell in love with while they were on tour and she got really hurted. I don't know if her heart is open for me this way".

"Good. You don't want to be another jerk that will hurt her feelings, right?".

"Sure! She doesn't deserve that".

"Just be sure that you both are not playing with fire".

Nicholas is right. Noah needs to be careful when it comes to Nori's feelings. He knows what he feels for her: an extreme animal attraction mixed with a lot of affinity. He feels the need to take care of her like he does when it comes to his most special friends and he knows he can trust her. There's only good feelings inside of him when it comes to Nori, but there's nothing strong enough that he could define as love. He just hopes that she feels the same way.

CHAPTER 5 HERE

[bbygirl-aemond]

You may already be aware, but I actually found ppl going back and forth on Reddit about a post you'd made on here (re Viserys being a shite parent). It's under r/HouseOfTheDragon in case you ever wanted to check it out. I just recognized your name, as I follow you and it was shared as a screenshot from here.

lmao i will never get over how wild reposting on the internet actually is. that fucker has over a thousand comments and i had no idea until you told me just now! literally made a reddit account to try to add my voice to the din just to encourage people to discuss on the original platform so i can see but tbh people on reddit are a lot meaner than tumblr so i won't be mad if it doesn't get too many upvotes.

reddit's responses to this post is such an interesting case study in the polarization that's happening everywhere online. i get SO MANY accusations of being wildly biased from supporters of both "teams" all the time and it's funny because like am i too team green or too team black bc i can't be both right? mostly i think it's because people get really defensive when you criticize a character and assume it means you hate them. like bruh we are adults with big girl emotions can't it be a little more complex than that?

when i say i think viserys is a bad parent, i'm not saying it as team green propaganda. i've said before that rhaenyra is the rightful ruler and that i absolutely adore her as a character (let's just say aemond isn't my only babygirl). there's a reason i've written 100k+ words of fanfic designing a political scenario where she'll be able to happily rule without any of her children dying. spoiler alert: it's not because i hate her and think she's a bad ruler. and she's far from the only character on team black i love: daemon, jacaerys, lucerys, and baela all come to mind.

it's also really interesting to me that people see my opinion about viserys and, even though i literally did not mention rhaenyra, assume that i'm somehow shitting on her. it just goes to show how much they stand blindly by one team or another. that to criticize one member of their "team" feels to them like you're criticizing every member. like baby, i'm not the one making it about teams: you are! honestly, i understand why the team mentality was a good marketing move, but it really has been the death of critical thinking in this fandom. there are aspects of both that we're meant to root for, just as there are aspects of both we're meant to hate. none of these people are objectively morally good, and that's what makes it interesting, so why are we trying to pretend otherwise?

so while yes, i don't like viserys, why would i extend that dislike to rhaenyra? it's not like she forced him at gunpoint to do the things i'm criticizing him for lol. in fact, i think viserys did her just as dirty most of the time. i have another post in the works about this, but he neglected her for her entire childhood, groomed her best friend and dealt with telling her in the worst possible way, and made her heir in a bid for her affection yet did none of the actual work to honor her as a ruler. he could have made her his hand but instead he made her pour his wine?

now, again, just because we dislike part of something does not mean it's all bad. do i think viserys is generally quite a bad parent and person? absolutely. did i also cry ugly tears in the scene where he forces himself up from his literal deathbed to defend his daughter? yes. these two things can coexist.

also, because reddit is reddit, there are a bunch of comments that just miss my point about alicent and aemma entirely. i've already responded to those in a post here so i won't beat a dead horse too much. but to paraphrase: viserys married alicent because he liked her specifically not for duty or he would've married someone who wouldn't horrify the entire small council; and aemma didn't need to be alive and conscious for the pain she was put through at the end of her life. the things he did to his wives weren't necessary and i don't think we should be pretending they were.

lastly, it's really funny to me how many people incorrectly assumed i was a man in the comments. i'm genuinely the girliest girl to ever girl in real life (makeup jewelry and tits to the gods, sorority girly, the whole nine yards, i love it) and it gave me such whiplash. there's a joke to be made here about trying to weaponize male privilege somewhere.

Broken Wings: Broken Spirit

Broken Wings AU is back! This is part two to "Broken Wings: Broken Mind" Not much of an introduction this time around just the classic fanfic warning. This is non canon and things can and will be inaccurate. This AU and fanfic will also use my MC, Belle Thompson. And as always, there will be grammatical errors. Lastly, if you really like this fanfic, please feel free to repost! it would mean a lot. With that being, It's fanfic time! TW: Violence, blood, and death (a bit descriptive)

Part 1 (thank you @ithseem for teaching me how to link)

*Three years later*

"No! Please! Spare me! I beg you!" The man cried. The air was filled with a stiff, deafening silence that was only broken periodic clicking of William's boots as he walked towards the poor man. "Tell me Andrew, is that what the children said as you forced them to over work in unsafe conditions?" The froze and shuddered in fear from Williams line of question. His eyes darted ever so slightly in panic. "I-I-" "Did You listen to their pleas?" William asked, his words filled with a hint of venom. "Please! I can change! I'll be better! I'll-" "I'm afraid it's too late for that Andrew. I've already made my verdict. I find you...." William walked up close to the groveling man and leaned up close to his ear. "..... guilty." He moved back to look down upon him. The man looked up in pure horror as he saw William. He gave a cruel, wicked smile that would make even the devil shudder. "No! Please!" the man begged. William gave the man a knife. "Slit your throat. Slowly." With that command, no matter how hard the man struggled and tried to free himself, he could not stop himself. The knife pressed into his skin until it pierced through. With one, slow motion of the blade, he began to make a messy, agonizingly long cut along his throat. With each inch of skin being sliced open, blood pooled out from him, falling to the ground and covering his body in it. The man tried desperately to scream for help, but was unable to as he choked and gargled until the he finally fell limp and lied in a pool of his own blood.

William smiled in satisfaction of his work. He called forth his men to clean up the crime scene and walked away to reach his coach. As the man stepped outside, he stopped as he noticed it was beginning to rain. He smiled bitter sweetly. He had always loved the rain, but it now he didn't feel the same amount of joy or freedom he felt in it as he used to. It never did feel the same. Not since his little robin flew away. He returned back to reality and stepped inside the coach as it drove off to the castle. As they proceeded to approach closer to the castle, Williams curiosity began to grow. Victor said that when everyone was done with their respective missions, he had a very important announcement. For what, he was unsure. He did seem to be very excited about it though. When the coach finally made it the entrance of the castle, William stepped out and went straight away to the dinning room where their meetings typically take place. Everyone except Victor was present, impatiently waiting.

"Ugh! Whens the old man gonna get here?! He had the nerve to call for a meeting and doesn't even show up!" Jude growled. Liam sighed. "I have to agree with Jude on this. It's beginning to get quite boring." Elbert then yawned "I'm beginning to grow a bit tired of waiting" "Me too. I wonder what had gotten Victor so excited about?" Ellis questioned. "Well, what ever it is, I say if he's not here in the next ten minutes, we leave" Harrison suggested. "Now, now. Let's not be so impatient here." William reasoned. "Ha! easy for you to say. Ya just got here." Jude scoffed. "Well then, Roger, can you tell us if Victor is on his way here?" William asked. "Hm, I don't think so. It sounds like he's talking to someone, though he hasn't said much and I can't hear the other person speak." Roger said. "He might be talking to one of the maids then." Ellis suggested. "He's wasting all of our time just to talk to some maid?! That's it! I'm leaving!" Jude said as he was about to get up. "Wait!" said Roger. "I hear him coming this way." "Tch, it's about time." Jude scowled.

"Ah! I'm so glad to see my darling cursed boys here today!" Victor cheered. "Ugh! Save yer cheerin' and tell us why we're here?" Jude grumbled. "Oh my! Someone's very impatient. Well, I won't keep you all waiting for long. I have an important announcement to make!" Victor said. "Oh, and what is that?" Liam perked up. "We have new member joining Crown today!" Everyone was who was once tired was now very intrigued. "Allow me to introduce you to Raven!" Victor stepped aside to reveal a person dressed in all black, covered with various holsters along their legs, arms, and chest. They were dressed in simple finery with a black hood that looked very capable of combat. But what really set this stranger apart from everyone was their mask. They wore a black plague mask that hid their features. Despite the strangers short height, there was something about them that unsettled the group. Especially William. He didn't like how he couldn't see their face, read their expression, make some sense of them. For the first time, he met some who was a closed book and he couldn't read it.

"They will be officially starting their position tomorrow after noon." Victor said. Liam bounced off his seat and walked up to greet the stranger. "Oh my. Raven was it? Tell me, What your curse." Liam preened. Raven just there stood there, staring at the cat like man. Liam leaned away from them, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "I'm afraid Raven doesn't really talk to anyone. To answer your question my dear Liam, they don't have a curse." Victor answered. Jude scoffed "So yer tellin' us this pipsqueak is deaf but also doesn't have a cur-" Jude was interrupted by a knife that by uncomfortable close to his face. Raven's hands began to move. "I can hear just fine. And I don't need a curse to kill." they signed in sign language. "Raven here is a remarkable assassin and is quite stealthy. I believe they'll make a remarkable addition to crown." Victor smiled as he rested a hand on Raven's shoulder. "But Victor, isn't the whole point of Crown that we're all cursed people with some sort of unnatural ability?" Harrison asked, tilting his head. "Very true Harrison, but I believe we can make an exception here. Besides, our mission is to fight evil with evil. And after seeing Ravens capabilities, I think they're a perfect fit for crown. After all, we can never bee to short of assassins." Victor smiled. Everyone at the table was very confused.

William however got up and walked to Raven. "Well, curse or no curse, I would like to humbly welcome you to Crown Raven." William outstretched his hand to raven. They just simply stared at him and his out stretched hand. "I'm going to retire for the night" Raven signed. "Ah! Splendid idea Raven. I think we should all get some sleep for an exciting day tomorrow. I will take Raven to their quarters. You all gets some sleep for tomorrow." Victor smiled. With that, everyone was dismissed. As everyone made their way out of the dinning room, William looked back at the mysterious person. There was something about them that just off about them, but he could place his finger on it.

***

Victor took Raven to the highest point of the castle that rarely anyone went up to. This was to be they're new "quarters" of sorts. "Are you sure all of this is alright? You won't feel uncomfortable here?" Victor signed as they signed the rest of their conversation. "Victor, you're worrying too much again." signed Raven. "I know. I'm just worried if you'll be alright with keeping this secret for so long. Besides, last time you saw someone murdered you-" Raven stopped Victors hands. "Victor, it's been three years. A lot has happened. I can take care of myself." Raven reassured him. They lowered their hood and took of their mask. "Some things have changed after all these years." Victor smiled sadly at the response. "I know." He sign. As he was about to leave the room, he turned back to the old friend. "Good night Belle. Sweet dreams" With that, Victor left her to be in her new room.

All I Need Is You In My Arms [ A HotHeels Shipping Fic ]

Word Count: 1,129

Fic Type: Fluff

Characters: Shoe Store Guy, Redson, MK, Mei , Yang [ Redson's and Shoe Store Guy's adopted son ], Bob, General Ironclad 

Note: 

-For people who don't know what this ship is HotHeels shipping is the ship between Redson and Shoe Store Guy

-Sorry for any grammar mistakes! This takes place after the events of season 4 after Redson was freed from the scroll.

-Also yeah Redson doesn't act like his cannon self very much in this but I hope you don't mind that ^^;

Extra note: This is also based off a headcanon I posted a while back where they are married and adopted a child together [ which I haven't posted yet here but I will soon ]. Also I'm still new to fanfic writing so sorry in advance-

Finally everything was back to normal, those who were stuck in the scroll of memories were free. MK would currently be walking with Redson smiling " Good to see you back Redson! I'm glad you're finally safe bud! " He spoke looking up at Redson. Redson would be walking with his hands in his pockets " Being in that scroll was certainly…interesting to say the least " he spoke before looking over at Mk " How is it that no matter how difficult the situation you deal with you always seem to come out on top? " He asked looking at MK who would give a small chuckle rubbing the back of his head gently " Not sure to be honest with you " He replied. Redson would simply shrug and continue walking with him adjusting his glasses.

That's when in the distance he saw Mei  with a familiar person to him, a turquoise haired male. He would stop walking as his eyes widened a little. MK would notice and stop as well looking over confused " Hey Redson you okay? " He asked confused. That's when Redson suddenly started running causing MK to jolt in surprise before following " Woah what's going on!? Something happening?! " He asked concerned. Redson didn't say anything soon Mei noticed him coming over and waved smiling " Heya Red Boy what's up? " She asked. She jolted though when he ran and tackled the turquoise haired guy she had been walking with in a hug " What?! " She said surprised " Do you and the Shoe Store Guy know eachother or something??? " She asked puzzled. Shoe Store Guy was at first confused and surprised by being tackled in a hug as him and Redson fell down from the momentum until he finally looked up, his eyes grew wide seeing Redson " Redson!? " He said shocked. He would quickly hug him tightly keeping the fire prince close as he teared up " Oh god where have you been!? I have been looking all over for you for months! " he spoke still in shock that he found him but also relieved that he had him in his arms. " It's a long story… " Redson replied, hugging him still before sitting up with him " But I'm here now " he added, wiping Shoe Store Guy's tears away before resting his forehead against his for a while, now just relaxing with the turquoise haired male in his arms. His turquoise haired lover would rest his head on his chest, calming down as he held onto him " I missed you so much…I thought you wouldn't come back " Shoe Store Guy said softly as he held onto him tightly, as if he let go Redson would vanish. 

Mei would kinda just watch confused unsure what was going on til it clicked and she gasped and squealed in excitement. MK would just look at her puzzled " What is it Mei? " He asked, confused. " Redson and the Shoe Store Guy are a couple! " Mei replied happily looking at MK and he was shocked by the news " Huh!?! When did they start dating?- " Mk said surprised. " We're actually married, you just didn't notice until now " Redson replied, looking at MK with a straight face. Mk would just rub the back of his head gently looking off to the side. 

" I think they are super cute together! " Mei said cheerfully as she looked at the two. Redson would get up pulling Shoe Store Guy up with him and just wrap his arms around him gently, resting his head on his shoulder not caring that Mei and Mk were watching them at this point " Let's go home " Redson mumbled holding Shoe Store Guy more. The turquoise haired male would simply nod running a hand through Redson's hair " Yeah we should '' he replied before Redson stood up straight again taking his hand before teleporting away with him in a ball of flames. 

Once back home Redson would walk with him holding his hand as he looked around the place. It felt like an eternity since he's been here even though it's only been about a month, then again being inside the scroll for any amount of time can make you forget the passage of time. As they walked through their home they could hear Redson's bull clones chatting about something. Curious about this, Redson decided to go to where they were and peaked his head into the room. In there he saw his son Yang doing what seemed to be some math problems and two of his bull clones trying to help him with it.

" Uh…what does pie mean in an equation? Can I eat it? " Bob, one of the bull clones, said trying to be funny but was just met with unamused looks by Yang and General Ironclad." Seriously Bob? " General Ironclad spoke as he fiddled with Yang's calculator to try and figure out the math problem. " I swear that last battle you were in must've knocked a few screws loose- " he added looking down at the tiny calculator " Yang why is your calculator so tiny?- " he asked Yang looking over at him " It's not tiny it's just you got big hands " Yang replied. As the three went back and forth with each other Redson was just watching them while Shoe Store Guy was beside him trying not to laugh. 

Eventually one of the three noticed Redson and Shoe Store Guy standing in the doorway, it was General Ironclad who upon seeing Redson dropped the calculator he was holding and quickly got out of his seat and stood up straight. Yang was confused by General Ironclads sudden change in demeanor before looking over and noticing both of his dad's in the doorway. His eyes widened seeing Redson and quickly got out of his seat and ran to Redson " FATHER YOU'RE OKAY!!! " he shouted as he ran up and hugged the fire prince tightly relieved his father was back. Redson hugged his son back, holding him close as he felt a wave of peace wash over him now that he reunited with his family.

Finally he was back where he wanted to be…back with his family and holding them in his arms

Digimon Fragments Art Master Post

I wrote an OC Digimon fanfic a while back called Digimon Fragments, and I drew the characters. I decided to redraw them and put them up on Tumblr! There are two reasons. One- my old art was garbage. I’ve gotten better at working with digital art since I first drew them. Two- my original mirror for this art was Twitter, and Muskrat makes it less stable every time he breathes.

You can read Digimon Fragments here- https://archiveofourown.org/works/31089395/chapters/76810685. It’s rated M. Please read the tags and the author’s note in the first chapter. This post contains spoilers for the fic.

Here’s a preview with an older piece of the gogglehead, Oliver.

OLIVER

Oliver, the gogglehead of the group, is sweet-natured and gentle. He tries to keep a positive outlook no matter what. However, this causes him to be somewhat naive. He is easily overwhelmed by his emotions, ranging from getting easily flustered when teased, to intense panic attacks when things get rough.

Partner: Vorvomon, Lavorvomon, Lavogaritamon, Volcanicdramon

Oliver’s personally my favorite, but I like goggleheads, redheads, freckles, and softies, so this wasn’t a hard contest to win. I made a character sheet for him, which is old, but I’m reposting it so I have a solid mirror.

LUCA

Serious-natured Luca is the group's tactician. His brilliant mind allows him insight to things his allies don't pay notice to. Where he excels in intellect, he has trouble managing his emotions. His feelings can easily overwhelm him, though he tries to keep calm and serious at all times.

Partner: Jazamon, Jazardmon, Jazarichmon, Metallicdramon

Luca is the loner of the group and my second favorite. He really needed the fixes. This character sheet shows his original design.

SKYE

Skye is an athletic girl, who happens to be on every sports team at her school. She put her friends before herself, even when doing so would be dangerous. As a result, she can be a bit reckless. Her friendly facade hides the fact that her unselfishness causes her many problems.

Partner: Labramon, Seasarmon, Caturamon, SaberLeomon

Skye’s old art was really ugly, but this newer art is really growing on me!

PIPER

Piper is a nerdy girl who loves video games. She is the most excited about being sucked into the Digital World, viewing it as an adventure. Every new thing she encounters is a source of excitement and joy. Though she can be quirky and weird around people, that's just a part of who she is.

Partner: Penguinmon, Kiwimon, Deramon, Gryphonmon

Piper hasn’t really changed. You don’t know how detailed glasses are in Digimon until you draw them!

LILY

Shy and quiet, Lily is less of a people person than she is a creative genius. She likes to sew, and has created multiple projects, including a bag to hold her sewing supplies that helps the group out multiple times (not pictured here). However, she is also frightful, and is easily intimidated.

Partner: Floramon, Ponchomon, Pumpkinmon, NoblePumpkinmon

Lily originally had way too much shading because I didn’t know what I was doing. I like the subtler direction I went with this version!

COLTON

Colton is loud and obnoxious, and knows "every curse word knows to man" (which he uses liberally). But despite this, he has a soft heart that pities the weak and despises bullies. All of this combines into one impulsive individual, who will even fight Digimon to keep his friends safe.

Partner: Otamamon, Gekomon, ShogunGekomon, Plesiomon

Colton underwent a few minor changes. I like what his hair looks like now way better than the blob I originally drew!

Thirsty?

Otto Octavius x reader

Sometimes love can start from the little things, sometimes they start by bumping into someone. This was simply started because a joke about saltwater.

Otto struggled as he tried to untie his robotic tentacles. He sighed as it didn't help much, it might've even made it tighter against him. He narrowed his eyes at two people, Spiderman... he was also known as Peter Parker, but it wasn't the one he knows and a person by the name of Y/N.

He of course was displeased by Peter, but he didn't mind the other's company as much.

“Y/N, I'm gonna need to check up on something, so stay here with Dr. Octopus, okay?” Peter had said.

Dr. Octopus?

DR. OCTOPUS?

Really? Otto thought the child could've just called him by the name... he had already told him his name anyway!

“Oh, sorry about him! He likes to joke, umm... thirsty?” Y/N had asked. Was she actually trying to be nice to him? He wasn't sure very much sure.

“Umm... I suppose so”

“Okay, do want fresh or saltwater?” Y/N tried to joke, but the joke didn't seem to land on him well by the look on his face.

“O-Oh.. sorry- since your an octopus... nevermind. Fresh it is then.”They went into a near by kitchen and started to fill a cup with some fresh water from the tap, she even added a little bit of ice.

Otto actually kind of felt.. bad? He didn't mean to upset them, maybe he should apologize? Y/N soon came back with the water, he had drank the water before starting,

“Sorry-” The doctor had began, “I didn't mean to well... upset you.”

“Don't worry, I wasn't thinking when I made the joke.” Y/N chuckled out. This was strange.. were the doctor and Peter's friend getting along? Were they even…in love? Yes, it wasn't to hard to see. Luckily, once he is back to himself again, they won't have to hide their love from themselves or anyone else.

Hopefully you liked that! This was my first ever fanfic, so I’m pretty sure there are mistakes

I’ll be posting this on Wattpad, deviantart, and Commaful.

hello gukkie I'm trying to read aus other than college / fwb, f2l. What are your go to aus or tropes and fics to recommend? do you have aus you don't like too? Am I the only one tired of pwps 🥴? By the way thank you for your fic recs

🌷 Hi there, anonie! I actually read variety of tropes/AUs but I have limited exposure to the ff.: idolverse (I find it too close for comfort), hogwarts (probably just read four or five fics), not much poly fics yet. 

I also had a phase of Hanahaki AUs/ Soulmate AUs and Dystopian AUs / Sci-fi / Alien AUs. But will only put my Top 3 AUs below, in order of obsession (lol). 

Mafia/Gang/Mobster AUs

Supernatural & Fantasy

Secret Agent AU, Assassins, Spy AUs, Heists

The fic recs per AU are also top of mind; but given much thought, there are more fics to recommend.

note: mostly mature | m x f |

These fics are not mine. Credits go to the authors and I’d like to thank you all for sharing your fics 🥰.

I didn’t include the other AUs I like that are too broad and would need its own masterpost or something: Arranged Marriage AUs, Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, F2L, S2L, FWB AU, Bad Boy AUs, Break-up/Exes, Office/CEO AU, College AUs, Slice of Life, etc. 

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with PWPs because there are really great well-written ones. I guess the key is to mix up the genres so you won’t find it repetitive. Hope these fic recs will be of help in case you want to try these AUs.👍🥰

[iris-sistibly]

So I just snapped at someone whom I used to look up to...

Hi! I've been trying to finish the continuation of my last The Witcher fanfic ("Mine"), but lemme just share this because I know I'm not the only one who's going through this shit right now.

Last night, I saw this facebook post from someone I know. It was a throwback photo of herself and did this little story time, I won't repost that for privacy purposes and to not escalate things further.

So on that post, she shared that a few years back, Miss Perfect (let's just call her that) was riding a PUV with a young girl (probably someone from my generation) who was wearing shorts and a crop top, at first Miss Perfect thought that she looked really amazing and that her outfit suits her. But her opinion changed when the girl stood up and was about to unboard the PUV and saw that the girl had scars on her legs.

And Miss Perfect went on like, "I wasn't trying to be rude or anything like that but...I know no matter what I wear it will still look good on me because I have clear, smooth skin. I have nothing against what people choose to wear but if you're wearing something that shows your skin, at least try using body scrubs or conceal those scars," something like that.

That shit triggered me!

I had mixed emotions that time, I was saddened, disappointed and enraged.

I was sad because I know what it feels like to be subjected to skin shaming.

When I was younger, I had a second cousin who bullied me because I wasn't fair skinned (my mother's aunt was mestiza and had fair skin). I remembered in 5th or 6th grade, I was called ugly by a fucking highschool boy because of my skin color. In senior year in highschool, I had this really close friend (a guy) who told me that I would have looked prettier if I had fairer skin, and he would have asked me to be his girlfriend (a nicer term for the term "collection of girls," WTF?!)

Mind you, I have scars on my legs too, I played a lot in my childhood years and I don't regret having them now.

I had really low self-esteem growing up and it took years for me to finally embrace my skin color, my scars, all of my skin imperfections. But the journey to get to that point was never easy.

I was disappointed because Miss Perfect was someone I used to look up to.

I was mentored by this person! She's fierce, smart, and she taught me many things. I had a lot of respect for this person, and though I must say she was...pretty difficult to deal with sometimes, at the end of the day, I respected her. What upsets me more is that there were people who were agreeing with her! These are older people guys!

I was angry because she was unapologetic about it.

So, your girl couldn't take it anymore right? I posted something on my facebook pertaining on that post, my exact words were:

"Hi! It's okay to feel confident about yourself, but skin shaming/body shaming someone else WHILE praising yourself is next level NARCISSISM. It doesn't reflect the person you're trying to put down but it is a reflection of who you are as a person ☺️☺️."

Apparently, I wasn't the only one who was offended by her post, all of the people I know backed me up and of course, since we're "friends" on Facebook, Miss Perfect saw what I posted, and she commented, "Oh I'm sorry" with a laughing emoji!

What.the actual.fuck?!

Funny thing was, she posted a counterargument on her page (I know that shit was for me) defending her previous post. She said she wasn't trying to downgrade anyone, everyone who knows her KNOWS she wouldn't do such thing. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I have known this person SINCE 2012!!! THAT'S 10 FUCKING YEARS AND SHE WAS INSINUATING THAT I WAS JUDGING HER BASED ON THAT POST ALONE?!

I MEAN--

And on the comment section another person, let's call her Miss Two-Faced (she's someone around Miss Perfect's age, and someone I respected so damn much as well), they exchanged comments. They were saying that not everyone is blessed, and they were all for self-confidence, but their definition of being confident is showing only your best and hide those features that are unpleasant for other people to see.

Doesn't make any sense. I'm telling you guys, they had the most narcissistic, condescending, conversation on that comment section.

But you know what the good thing was?

Many people I personally know messaged me and thanked me for speaking up. Unfortunately, many people I know either struggled or are still struggling with skin shaming and for others to mock and make fun of these people is never okay.

For the record Miss Perfect never apologized.

She wouldn't shut up on social media, and her latest post was her flexing this device she ordered online, she said that thing would eliminate her belly fats, etc.

Well I am also body shamed, so I wouldn't be surprised if that post was intended to mock me. And she called me her basher or one of her bashers so...🤷

Bottom line is...

Maturity doesn't come with age. People like Miss Perfect and Miss Two-Faced are living proof of that.

Putting down others to make yourself feel better isn't self-confidence, you're just an asshole who's so full of yourself.

Those who were lucky who never got to experience skin and body shaming would never understand the struggle. To constantly feel bad about yourself just because you didn't pass society's standards of beauty, and wishing to be someone else just to feel accepted.

You. Don't. Know that!

Everyone wants to look nice, to be complimented, to feel good about themselves.

Fuck, I would give anything to regain my confidence back, to be able to look in the mirror and tell myself that I look pretty, to learn how to love myself again.

But it's people like these that are making me lose every bit of what's left in me...

I know I shouldn't listen to the noise of the outside world, but it's harder to do that when you're actually surrounded BY the noise, and you have to deal with that shit every single day.

I'm a work in progress, I still am...

Probably will always be. Being able to call out a bully was the best feeling ever, I still have many things about me that I need to work on. I'm just thankful that despite of this world being filled with bitches, at least I have people who have my back.

So to anyone who took their time to read this, thank you for hearing me out. To anyone who's struggling, hi! You're not alone ☺️ .

Birdie’s FAQ

General Questions

Q. Do you have a Patreon?

A. Firstly, thanks to everyone who has asked me this. It means a lot that you guys wanna support me! However, I don’t feel comfortable monetizing my fanworks. I don’t have a Patreon and I don't plan on it, sorry! ;u;

Q. Do you take requests or commission?

A. Nope! I may open some art requests or commissions maybe if I ever get in a really hard spot, but I don’t accept money for writing. Sorry! ;u;

Q. You didn't answer my ask/pm!

A. Frankly, I'm shy ;u; im far more likely to answer an ask than I am a PM, just cause im scarrrreeed. If I don't answer an ask, it's either already been answered here, it was mean spirited or forceful, or i just havent looked at my asks in a while hhaha. Please keep in mind I'm exceptionally introverted and don't usually talk much oof im sorry :(

Art FAQ

Q. What do you use to draw and animate?

A. I draw and animate with paint tool SAI v.1! The program isn’t meant for animation. I just draw all the frames in paint tool sai and then run them through a gif compiler to make them move. 

Q. Can I use your art for headers, icons and emotes?

A. As long as you credit me in some way, you can definitely use my animations and art as icons, header for your blog, and discord emoji. 

Q. Can I repost your art on other sites?

A. Sure, as long as it isn’t tumblr or twitter, since I’m active in those places already and reposted art will be reported. However, if you want to post it on your Instagram, Pinterest, or what have you, feel free as long as my signature is visible and I’m linked somewhere !

Fanfiction FAQ

Q. Can I use your fics for my fanfiction readings? (ex. Youtube)

A. Ask me! Most fics I probably won’t mind as long as I am credited and a link to the fic is posted in the description. However, there may be a select few I would rather not, so drop me a line and we can talk about it!

Q. Do you write for any other fandoms/characters?

A. Nope! I’m only interested in Hawks from BNHA, so that’s all I write! Hah. Eventually one day I may become interested enough in another character to write something for them, but also probably not ;u; 

Q. Do you write “dark” content, like Yandere or non!con?

A. Generally speaking, no. If I ever got a really good idea I can’t shake down the road, the “Yandere” dynamic may be a lightly used possibility. To the point it probably wouldn’t even be yandere tbh tho hah. Non!con will never appear in my fics, though. Anything generally abhorrent you can be sure I won’t write about. HOWEVER, I do occasionally reblog fics others may find triggering. Always read the warnings authors leave before taking peeks!

Q. I don't like that you often describe things about the reader in your fics. Such as cheeks going red, pink nipples, or their gender.

A. All of my fanfictions are written about myself with me in mind. I try to stray away from outright describing reader by physical traits, since i want everyone to feel included! But at the end of the day I am one person with a world view limited to my own experiances. There will be times its obvious I have fair skin/certain type of hair/particular body features in my writing. I try to be as vague as possible, but please keep in mind the author here is a fair skinned cis female, and I write as a form of escapism with myself in mind first.

Q. You haven’t posted anything in a while! Are you still writing?

A. Yes! I like to take my sweet sweet time with my fanfictions, and im never rushing or in a hurry to update. Sometimes I work on a piece and decide to keep it for myself and not share at all, if its too personal or special to me. I love writing a lot, and if i havent updated in a while be sure to know I havent stopped. Im just enjoying the process of creating without worrying about any deadlines, and that can take weeks to a few months.

Q. There was something in one of your fics I think there should have been a warning for!

A. Tell me !! I try to add warnings for anything that I can think could be upsetting to readers, but if you have a suggestion for me to add more warnings in the future, feel free to send me a message. I would appreciate it ;u;

Q. Do you have a tag list for your fanfics?

A. Sorry, I no longer use a taglist! I do post all my fics on my AO3, Keigosbirdie, however. You can get emails when I update by following me there :)

I may add to this later if I get repeats of other questions! Thanks for reading ;u;

NOTES: Wow, that was quite a response to just reposting the prologue! Hopefully you all enjoy the rest of this fic as much as you've been anticipating it; I know it's been a lot of buildup to it, unintentionally I promise you. Here you go, better late than... well, you get it.

---------------------

The next morning had been a hard one for Anna. School just felt strained and weird without knowing for sure where her mother was. Punz helped her through it, and she managed to do most of her classwork, but her mind kept wandering off.

Tomorrow was the earliest they could report her missing to the police. Of course, she had a feeling that it wouldn't matter one way or the other, but it was the strongest hope that she and her father had. Knowing what they knew about time travel, they had refrained from calling John or Wendy for the time being; she might come back.

She had to come back.

So when she walked into the living room after school and saw her mother sitting on the couch, looking quite weary but whole, safe, normal, she ran into her arms. It didn't even occur to her to ask about her father, or what she was doing there, or anything else. Need overrode curiosity.

"MOM! Oh my god… oh Mom, you completely freaked me out, I didn't know what happened!"

Elsa wrapped her arms around Anna, hugging back just as a tight as a sound halfway between a laugh and a sigh spilled from her lips. "My angel… I'm so sorry for worrying you like that. Really."

Anna felt her eyes well with tears. She had been unwilling to truly face the idea that Elsa was truly gone, but seeing her here threw into sharp relief just how much she had been terrified. Her arms grew tired as she held on, but there was nothing that could make her let go. Not at this moment. Even the mere thought had her arms tightening their hold, squeezing just a little harder.

"Please don't leave again," she said softly. "Not- not without telling me first. Dad- Dad came home last night and we were gonna go to the cops and-"

"Shh…." Elsa hushed her, inhaling deeply. "I promise I'll never do that again without telling you. I'm so sorry, Anna."

Tearfully, Anna drew her head back, just enough so she could look in Elsa's eyes. "Where did you go? Did I… did I do something?"

Oh God. Elsa could see the forty-something version of her daughter, asking that same exact question. "No, no, baby. No you didn't do anything."

"But you just left me…" Anna's words, cracked and small, were also so heartfelt. So sincere in their pain that it made Elsa want to cry, too. How could she even have thought of giving this up? Of leaving the person who, truthfully, had become her entire world?

"I waited until the day your father would come home. That way, you wouldn't be without someone to… look out for your well-being, no matter what came to pass."

Clearing her throat and sniffling, Anna pulled back and gazed at her mother. "What… came to… Mom, what happened? Where did you go?"

"I was figuring some things out. Took a few weeks. And I've come to some decisions." She took a deep breath, then let it out very slowly before she took both of Anna's hands. "I'm not leaving you."

"Okay. I'm… b-but you made it sound like you… wanted to?"

"Not 'wanted'. But I thought it might be best." She released her hands. "However, there are going to have to be a few changes around here."

Still incredibly relieved at not losing her mother, Anna slumped downward. Then she said, "Okay, okay. You want me to stop hitting on you? Is that pretty much it?"

Elsa nodded slightly. "For now. I'm… willing to revisit that at a later date, but you have to promise me something. From now until you are in college, this stops. We have to learn to keep our hands to ourselves. It's going to be difficult, I know; we've already proven that it will be. But that's very important to me. You might technically be of age, but… you're my child, and you live in my house. There's no pretending that won't affect which of us has the power in a… in… well, in a romantic relationship."

"O-oh." Anna wasn't sure what to say. This sounded like bad news, but it also sounded like there was some good news attached. "But… what about when I'm in college?"

Only now did Elsa smile slightly. "Depends. I want you to really take this time to think hard about you and I. We both will. And we'll try our best to be a normal family. I'm never, ever going to stop loving you!" Her smile faltered slightly, and she looked away with red cheeks. "And if, once you're out on your own, not… being 'parented' by me, you still want to be something more than mother and daughter… we can try that. I know it's a long time-"

"Oh, Mom," she breathed, crushing her with her arms again, sore as they still were. "God! Of course, I… oh I'm sorry, I'm so dumb, I kept trying to… I d-don't know, I'm stupid, I'm so stupid!"

"Shhhhhh." It was soothing and sweet, and she kissed the crown of her head. Anna hummed a little through her tears, glad for the gentle gesture. "It's okay. Everything's okay, Anna; you're going to be just fine."

"B-but what if we try it, and I hurt you somehow? Make you sad th-that your daughter is… disgusting?"

"Don't ever think that. Even if I've been a little disgusted by your desires, by my own, that does not mean I think you are 'bad' or… or anything! And it never did. Do you hear me, sweetie? You'll always be my sweet Anna, whether or not I can handle you being my Tori at the same time. Always."

With renewed vigour, Anna hugged her mother so aggressively. Elsa returned the expression – and, where once she would have hesitated, now there was no sign of that reluctance. It was just what Anna needed.

"I should… really call Punz," she said finally. "Let her know what happened."

Elsa's lips quirked. "I should probably ring your father," she said. Still, neither of them moved. If anything, Anna seemed unable to stop herself pressing closer.

"What if… what if I can't?" she whispered. Even in that low tone, it was obvious she was scared – terrified – of something. "You want me to stop until college, but what if I can't? Or, if I slip up? Mom, I can't lose you just because my balls get ahead of my brain sometimes."

Squeezing tight for a second, Elsa chuckled and closed her eyes. "Accidents happen…" she began. It wasn't good enough.

"No! How can we trust that it would even be an accident when I want you so bad? It hurts, Mom!" Anna sniffled. "It hurts to have you so close sometimes when I want so much more but you… don't…"

"Anna, listen to me." Elsa had Anna's face clasped in her hands, giving her the ability to look directly into her eyes. "You have no idea how much I want you. But right now is the wrong moment. For you, for me… and sweetheart, you need to think of Punz, too. That girl adores you. And-" Elsa lowered her voice, though she smiled now, too. "I would love to be her mother one day, too. Well, mother-in-law."

"That still doesn't solve this problem," Anna said. Her words were monotone, but she felt herself blushing at Elsa's suggestion. It was easier to deflect than it was to think on the future and whether or not Punz would be part of hers.

"You're right. But I guess what I've realised is… this problem is not worth me leaving you behind. I want to work on it together. And if we slip up again, we will deal with it like adults. We aren't animals who have no willpower."

"Are you sure?" she asked with a weak laugh. "You came pretty close that morning."

At that, Elsa leaned in and whispered, "I really did. I was very close." The double meaning made Anna's cheeks grow yet rosier. "But I'm serious; I won't try that while I'm 'in charge' of you. That's not right. Even if we try to treat each other equally, we can't be equals until you're out on your own. And I'm not going to let you drop out of school or anything like that, before you ask," she warned.

"Damn, you caught me," Anna hissed, and Elsa chuckled. "Still Mom with your freakin' parenting chess moves, ten steps ahead. Man… that's so long, though."

"Is it? I know it seems that way to you, because you're young."

Sighing, Anna admitted, "Maybe not. And you're right, like… the past couple of weeks have been great! Not just the parts where we flirted, but everything. All three of us hanging out together was nice, too."

"See? We can make that work. And as I said, if I know you're making advances on purpose, then I will have to leave until you've graduated. Just for my own sanity, and to make sure I don't hurt you – and then I'll come back. But a few slip-ups here and there can be forgiven, Anna."

Anna's hand stroked up and down Elsa's side for a moment. Again, she didn't flinch away, but she started to look a little less comfortable, so Anna stopped. "Okay. I… don't really get the whole 'I can't be in charge while we're dating' thing, because like, you parenting me is totally separate. But I do trust you, Mom. So… so I can try it."

"Not as separate as it should be. But thank you, Anna," Elsa said honestly. She was smiling, too, so that was a good sign. "Now I really must contact your father." She got up and was halfway to the kitchen before Anna spoke.

"Hey, Mom?" she asked. Elsa turned.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

Suddenly, Anna felt very gun-shy and guilty. Like she was going to ask her mother for a treat after her father had already said no. "Can I ask a favour?"

"Of course!" Elsa turned more fully towards her daughter, and Anna felt her mouth grow dry. Just for a second, but it was more than enough, really.

Swallowing hard around a lump in her throat, Anna looked away. "Can I… have a kiss?"

Her mother answered with a sigh, but it was more weary than truly upset. "That would seem to defeat the purpose of giving us this dry period, wouldn't it? Unless you just mean a cheek-kiss."

"I didn't," she admitted readily. "Um… and I do kinda get what you mean? Cooling off to make sure this is what we really want, cause we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. But like, I already did that. The past couple weeks were me trying not to feel things for you, and it didn't work. But if you want to try for longer…"

"I think, if a few more months go by and you still want me the way you did a couple of days ago, then it will prove that we're really intended to be that for each other. And if the feelings fade for you, then won't it be better that we never went too far? That we never… crossed the line that cannot be uncrossed?"

Anna was having trouble wrapping her mind around what Elsa was trying to get through to her. What would be the difference at this point? She already let her go down on her once before, even if it was her younger self and not this mother standing in front of her now. But she supposed there was probably some wisdom in this plan that she simply hadn't considered.

"Just tonight," Anna whispered very quietly. "Like, to get it out of my system. Then tomorrow, we can go back to 'Mom' and 'daughter' and all that, and… see where we end up when I go to college. And I know, I sound like an ungrateful brat, and it's demanding, a-and… I'm sorry. But I think it'll drive me nuts if I never get to touch you from now until I'm out of the house!"

"It's not a good idea, Anna." But she relented. "Fine. But you have to make all the moves. I already basically attacked you in 1985, and now that I really am your mother…"

That part, Anna could understand. Especially after she explained the whole 'being in charge' aspect; if she was worried about wielding power over Anna, she would give it all to her. Smiling, Anna placed her hands on Elsa's waist. "Just a kiss. Maybe it won't even feel right and we won't have to worry about anything more."

Both seemed to realise at the same moment how silly a thought that was. Anna could feel it already, that pull. Her mouth was no longer than dry – no, she was almost salivating at the thought of doing this again. Her cheeks warmed and her heart picked up, trotting in her chest as she took a step closer.

"Just a kiss," Elsa echoed, though her voice had suddenly lost its power.

Biting the inside of her cheek, Anna leaned forward. Elsa wasn't much taller than her – wasn't much taller than she had been in '85 – but still Anna missed. Her lips found Elsa's chin, and Elsa let out a snort of what could have been laughter.

Anna didn't correct herself upward, however. Contrarily, she moved away from Elsa's lips, grazing hers down to lave at her mother's throat.

"Anna…" Elsa tried. It was meant to be a warning, but instead it came out hoarse and throaty. A small noise slipped from Anna as she wrapped her hands more solidly around Elsa's waist. It was more of a hug now, and it had the side effect – intended or not – of bringing them even closer together.

Eyes sliding shut, Anna merely enjoyed the taste of her mother's skin. She felt gentle fingers tangling in her hair, and was prepared for when Elsa tugged her away. Even if it was a gentle distancing.

"This isn't quite what we agreed to," she sighed nervously. But she could see her mother was uncertain. Guilty. There had to be a way she could remove that guilt. What would make this woman she adored more comfortable with her how much she adored her?

"Elsa… you can call me 'Tori' tonight if you want," she murmured. "If that makes it easier. I could even dress up in 80s clothes or something? Like… since the whole problem is me being your daughter, I could be her instead."

At that, Elsa let out a soft laugh. "I didn't know we were doing an all-night affair. But… well…"

"Well?" Anna asked after a few seconds passed and her mother didn't finish the thought.

"I did ask Kristoff to get a hotel room. Give us space enough to figure things out." Anna drew back to see Elsa looking ashamed, but also smiling very slightly. "Not that this was what I had in mind. Just wanted to be prepared for any… eventuality."

For a few seconds, Anna had to suppress the tingles burbling up through her body. From very specific places. Elsa had planned for them to sleep together. Not as an intention, but a precaution – though that was still more than she had hoped lips pushed into Elsa's neck again, hearing a sigh. Then she whispered, "What if I just keep kissing? All over?"

"An- Tori," she corrected, and Anna smiled against her neck.

"You don't have to do anything back. I'm good. But… I want to try this out. See how far I can get before you need me to stop. Or before I need to stop."

"Let's just stick to kissing above the waist." When Anna pulled back to grin at her, head starting to duck downward, she hastily added, "Above the shoulders! Jesus Christ, how did I raise such an opportunist?"

"You didn't; the other Anna probably wasn't as bad as me. And she also wasn't as hot for you as me…" Knowing she was pushing her luck, she leaned up to whisper into Elsa's ear, "And I'm pretty hot for you right now."

Elsa let out a sharp breath that was probably covering something else. "Anna…" she tried one last time. This one felt breathier and needier than before, and Anna could feel the warmth pooling just below her navel.

"I just want you," Anna said softly. "To touch you… in whatever way you let me." Her hips rolled very slightly against Elsa's – not enough for any real friction, but certainly enough to give truth to her words. Elsa gave out another shuddering breath. "But for now, a kiss will do…"

And she did just that, sealing their lips together once more. Elsa sank down into it as if it were a warm bath, perhaps grateful that she no longer had to speak. It didn't really matter.

Slowly, Anna began to back away, leading them back to the couch. It seemed safer than heading for one of the bedrooms. It took Elsa a moment to realise what she was doing, but when she finally caught on she wasted no time in guiding Anna. Despite what she had said, she seemed to be a little less willing to stop now.

But finally they were seated, a strange parody of that moment in Doc's car. Anna had little doubt that she wanted to try paying her mother back for what she had done there, either. Hopefully Elsa felt the same.

Anna slipped her tongue between Elsa's lips, and she only groaned and accepted it with her own, leaning back until she was lying on the couch with Anna over her. Her arms never tightened around Anna, and she never gripped her shoulders; only laid her hands gently on her biceps. Seemed she was deadly serious about not making any 'moves', after all.

When they broke apart again, Anna's hips still grinding, Elsa warned her breathlessly, "This is… more than a kiss."

"Yeah. But hey… tonight is our night, huh? Like, the last one to be Tori and Elsa."

"It is. Even though we aren't going as far as you think we're going," she told her, resolve returning as she pointed a finger up at her.

"Right, I get it. So…" Biting her lip, she got up from the couch, leaving Elsa briefly confused. "Let's do it. Let's dress up."

What an adorable blush crept into the middle-aged woman's features. "Oh, you… were serious about that?"

Dancing backward a little, she said, "Remember that outfit I made you buy? The one that you said you wouldn't wear out of the house, short-shorts and crop top? You can put that on, and I'll find some stuff in my closet that makes me look really… different. Really Tori for you. And I'll change my hair, and wear the shoes from the dance!"

"Oooh," Elsa sighed at the mention of the shoes. Apparently, that was such a strong tie to the memory of going down on Anna that it instantly heated her up. Then she cleared her throat. "Well… I suppose it wouldn't hurt to simply look the parts. Might help create necessary boundaries."

She knew what her mother really meant; it would help assuage her guilt if they were recreating the past, instead of forging a new, sinful future. Clapping her hands, she started to head for the hallway. "You just wait! This is gonna be amazing!"

"I hope you're right," Elsa chuckled as she started to follow her. They were both going the same way, after all. "But I just wanted to reiterate..."

Hesitation. So she prompted, "What?"

"No matter what happens… I'm always going to love you. That was never in danger at any point, Anna."

"I know. Don't worry, we got this. Promise-promise."

"Now, that sounds familiar..."

Anna had no way of knowing what Elsa meant; she hadn't said it yet, after all. But she was all smiles as she retreated to her room with glee, only sparing Elsa one last glance over her shoulder to see her mother was standing in the doorway to her own room with a bemused smile on her blushing features.

Still so beautiful.

End of the line

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Steve Rogers Summary: When Bucky learns that Steve will not be returning from his mission to return the infinity stones, he decides to write him a goodbye letter. Warnings: a lot of angst A/N: I’m not a fanfic writer at all, this, like all my stories, are adaptations to fanfics. My original stories are not written in english, so this is also a translation.

please do not repost my work

Hi Steve and well goodbye too.

I don't think there is a right way to start a goodbye letter, because it's always when you finish writing and sending it that you come up with the right words to describe how you feel. It's like when you have to write a dedication in a birthday card, you have 5 minutes to express in a few lines how happy you are to have that person one more year in your life. Don't you think that's too complicated? Don't you think it's complicated when you realize that next year that person will probably not be with you anymore? Nor the following year?

Living the next few years, without you, will be complicated, I don't even know how much I want to live them, but I will, because now I have this freedom, freedom from Hydra, from the Avengers and even from you. I can do whatever I want with this life, be whoever I want to be, stop being the Winter Soldier, Sergeant Barnes, stop being even Bucky, your best pal. All my versions have been me at some point in my life, but I don't think they are completely the "me" of today, they are just fragments of a life, that right now I have to see how to put together, how to make sense of it. It's something I have yet to figure out on my own; again, without Sam, without the Avengers and without you.

I really only have one favor to ask: if my ma, if my sister are alive, please don't tell them the details of what I went through, the sorrows I suffered, the angst and fear that still persist in my head, just tell them that I died, not as a hero, not as a villain, just as a soldier who fought as long as he could always stand up after a punch that knocked him down. Not a soldier who blindly followed orders, a soldier without conscience, but one who was able to tell friend from foe. Who killed no one for pleasure and that every death and wound under his signature, are carved in his brain and stuck in his heart. But please, could you look out for them? Help them in any way you can? Hold my ma's hand when she's sick in bed and can't get up to cook anymore, go to my sister's wedding, maybe even walk her down the aisle? Maybe I am asking too much, but I promise you that after this, after they are gone, you won't hear from me anymore.

The path is not clear to me, my decisions are obscured in my brain among the pain and frustration of every fight, of every unwanted confrontation. Among the pain of others, among my own. My indesicion goes hand in hand with my skepticism that my years as the Winter Soldier are really over.

But you gave me this new life even though you are no longer a part of it, you gave it to me, you looked for me and fought for me and my memories, our memories. Now knowing that my life, that my 1940's self will end when you leave, I must think about how lucky I am to be able to live a second chance, I will try to do the best I can with this life, eat as much as I can, see and remember as many beautiful landscapes and sunsets as I manage to live, to think that even with all the sacrifices, it was worth it to get this far. I never thought I would have a life without you, an elderly life without you, especially when I met you for the second time in this century.

Even with all the feelings I have inside me right now I wish you the best, in the time you wish to live, with whom you wish to live and whenever you need me, I will be here, you only have to call, you know where to find me.

Years will pass, our bodies will stop working, our minds will not remember everything in detail but it will only take seeing you one more time for everything to come back to me, the same way it happened when I was controlled by Hydra.

Never stop being you Steve, whatever version you want to be, Captain America or the little skinny kid from Brooklyn, you will always succeed at anything if you stay true to yourself, I'm sure of it, trust me.

May this be the end of the line for us Steve and may we never forget it: Thanks for everything, I will see you again, I have no doubt.

Is Livejournal still an active platform? I think when I first got into fandom LJ was more of a place for kink memes (not necessarily based in erotic content or ships) than just a fanfic scene. FF. net was more popular at the time. As much as I feel Ao3 is superior to FF, I think it had its bonuses. I appreciated being able to PM other users and the forums, features Ao3 doesn't have. What were some bonuses to LJ, if you don't mind my asking?

I don’t think LJ is active much anymore, no. Everyone once in a while I’ll go check out my Friends page to see if anyone is still posting there, and there are a few, but not a lot. Policies killed the fandom community on that site, and it’s really sad. Free speech is important, y’all. On the other hand, those policies are probably why AO3 exists, and that’s a good thing.

LJ was a BIG upgrade from FF.net, that was for sure. It wasn’t specifically made for fanfic, so you had to have some rudimentary HTML knowledge to put links to your chapters, and also had to make your own table of contents (here’s mine), or at least tag your posts in a way so that people could find your fanfiction if they wanted to. It had a private message function, yes, as well as a Friends page, which was basically a dashboard (without a reblog function) where you could scroll through and view all of the posts made by the people you had added to your friendslist. You also had the option of making your posts private, so only friends could see them, and also make friends groups WITHIN your friendslist so only THOSE particular people could see. For instance, I had a lot of friends, because I tended to friend back anyone who friended me so they could see my private posts for the rare things that I wanted to hide from the world but was okay with fellow fans seeing. I made smaller friends groups to view fellow writers, so I could see their stuff when they posted it, and another smaller group for people who I knew would be willing to beta my work, so I could send out a request for a beta if I needed it without cluttering up the Friends page of everyone who had added me, and an even smaller group for friends that I trusted with deep personal secrets for when I really, really needed to vent. Those kinds of posts were called “friends locked” or “flocked” for short. When I was obsessed with SPN and deep in that fandom, I checked my Friends page multiple times a day. I keep my following list on tumblr quite small because I don’t have the time to read hundreds and hundreds of posts, and tumblr doesn’t have the function to narrow down who you see on your dashboard.

LJ also had the ability to make communities, where multiple users could post on the same blog, and we had fic communities for every permutation of fandom under the sun. Big ones for all SPN fic (those were incredibly active), ones just for gen, ones for hurt/comfort and whump, ones for crossovers, specific ones for each pairing… Whenever I made a post with a fic, I had a list of about five communities that I would cross-post to, basically with a header and a link to the full post. And the fic finder community, of course, which I think was the most valuable of all, where someone could make a post asking for a specific idea they wanted to read and everyone else could comment with fics they knew that fit or almost fit that desire. Or if you had read a fic a long time ago and couldn’t remember the name or title, you could describe it as best you could on the fic finder community, and chances were someone would know what you were talking about. A lot of my fics got mentioned on fic finder communities multiple times, whenever someone asked for deaged fics, haha.

The biggest advantage of LJ, though, and I think the reason it became THE place for fanfiction for a while, was the nested commenting. AO3 has the same kind of comment system now, where one person starts a thread, and then the author can respond, and they can go back and forth. If the thread gets too long it will get shortened so those going through the comments don’t have see every single comment written on the entire story, just the first ones. This was a huge upgrade from FF.net, which didn’t even allow replies to reviews for a long time. If you wanted to respond to someone’s review, you had to PM them directly and tell them. And your replies didn’t show on the review page, and the reviewer couldn’t write back. Nesting comments on LJ changed all that. Now people could have entire long, involved discussions in the comments of any post, any fic. And people did. It wasn’t always just the author and a single commenter having a conversation, either. Sometimes other people joined in, and we’d have long squeefests and share headcanons (though that word didn’t enter fandom vernacular until tumblr) and talk about the show or whatever we were writing about. It was a great place for making friends and sparking ideas.

AO3 did well in bringing that commenting system over to the archive, but it doesn’t usually get used the same way it did on LJ. I think it’s because AO3 is a place specifically meant for storing fic, not necessarily a social media service, so there’s not as much emphasis on making friends and forming personal relationships. Sure, you can subscribe to people and follow their work and make bookmarks, but there’s no Friends list or anything like that. It’s just a different thing. And since tumblr doesn’t have nesting comments, there’s not the option to have those sort of conversations here, either. I mean, you sort of can, by reblogging replies and having discussions in posts, but it’s awkward and it gets reposted to your dashboard every time, and it gets really annoying to have to scroll the bottom every time. 

Messaging on tumblr is a little better, but it’s a chat with just one person. You can’t have multiple people in a direct message, and even with those it can be very hard to scroll back and find earlier conversations. This why I think Discord is such a great addition to the current fandom life. You can have conversations with multiple people about anything you want. It’s more freeform, since you’re not responding to a post in particular, but it still works well for building relationships and sharing headcanons and ideas.

Tumblr is not without its advantages. The reblog function means that something good, that grabs attention, can spread around the fandom very quickly. But it’s definitely much better for art than fic, and that’s mostly because of the way it’s designed. It’s an art-sharing service with a half-assed messaging service in the sidebar, not a social media site the way LJ was. It’s for artists to make art and other people to follow them and occasionally ask questions, so it really encourages a BNF mentality and jockeying for position rather than making a circle of friends and developing them. Fandom has found ways to socialize anyway, because life finds a way, but it’s not like LJ, not at all. Sometimes I really want LJ back, to be honest, but that ship has sailed. There was an attempt with Dreamwidth, but for some reason most people just moved their fandom activity to tumblr instead, possibly because the existence of LJ and tumblr overlapped and many people who used LJ already had a tumblr when LJ collapsed. That was how it worked with me, anyway. The novelty of tumblr probably encouraged the movement here, as well. People love the new.

I think most likely what will happen in the future is tumblr will screw the pooch in a major way and fandom will migrate off it, just like we did from the old webrings  to ff.net, then to LJ, then to here. Probably some savvy fans will make a social media site actually MEANT for fandom, like, perhaps, pillowfort.io, which looks absolutely fantastic, just needs some bugs worked out and more people using it. That’s what happened with fic archives: fans got sick of all the problems with FF.net and LJ and made AO3, and it’s great. I’m looking forward to getting off this site, honestly. Let the migration come. I just hope all of you come with me.
