#tumblr soulmate algorithm

[ceebit]

seeing smut recommended under ur sfw posts gotta be one of the most strange things i’ve seen on this platform

[lauraroselam]

I'll crawl home to her (gender neutral)

As Tumblr folk who have picked my book seem to largely like it (you are my people) I will perhaps inconsistently put some of my reels on here? Here is a neat stop motion one set to Hozier.

Dragonfall is a queer epic fantasy with a genderfluid thief and a dragon trapped in human form falling in love despite it being a bad idea all around.

Expect: multiple POVs and narrative positions, yearning, a world where it's rude to assume a stranger's gender, a heist, my take on the fated mates/soulmate bond trope, cute mini wyverns, and if people use too much magic without fuelling themselves properly they might turn into a vampire/zombie/cannibal thing.

If you pick it up and enjoy, I'd really appreciate a review on places like GR/Amazon/Storygraph/wherever to feed the ever-hungry algorithm.

[xenon-demon]

I fucking love pretty much every version of the “celebrity x Just Some Guy™” trope that there is for Steddie, but in honor of having a totally reasonable amount of wine I’m going to tell you about the version I’m currently thinking about all the time, one of my dumbest yet also funniest AU concepts: modern!AU with streamers Steve & Robin and Hardcore Fan™ Eddie who writes reader-insert fic about Steve.

Steve and Robin, aka EvenStevens and BirdBox_ on Twitch (“My name is spelled with a P-H, Robin, that’s such a stupid name.” “No, it’s actually even better this way! You don’t want to just use your real government name for something like this, and you would just make your username ‘SteveHarrington01′ or something equally uninspired-”) frequently stream together and have a shared YouTube channel. They got popular doing reaction videos that quickly devolve into the pair of them bickering on camera, and since the internet just loves the ‘snarky woman and her emotional support himbo’ dynamic, they got very big, very quick. Plus, it certainly doesn’t hurt that they had the combined might of Dustin and Erica to help them bend the algorithm to their whims.

While most people recognize their platonic-with-a-capital-P soulmatism, there are still some that are convinced they’re secretly dating - they can’t decide if it’s hilarious or absolutely maddening that every time they try to disprove the rumors, they somehow get stronger. Robin doesn’t feel comfortable coming out to the internet yet, and without that trump card some people just can’t understand why they’re not dating.

...there are other sections of their fandom, however, that absolutely do believe they’re not dating. Mainly because they’d rather be dating Steve or Robin (or both!) themselves, and write all the reader-insert fanfiction you could ever possibly need about it. Robin is largely ambivalent to the concept of fanfiction being written about herself as long as they’re not writing smut, since at least that way they’re not insisting she’s dating Steve.

Steve on the other hand finds it absolutely hilarious how despite how much he’s changed, he’s back to being the heartthrob he used to be in high school - and, he’ll be honest, he thrives on the attention. He’s given everyone the green light to write whatever they want - dared them to make it raunchier, even - to the point where it’s a running joke that Steve will read your reader-insert fanfiction about him unless you tag it with some form of ‘Steve don’t look’. He even used the prevalence of fic about himself to come out on stream.

(Steve’s in the middle of re-organizing his flower field in Animal Crossing when he’s interrupted by a donation. “Hey Steve, really sorry to tell you this but people are writing porn about you... and they’re making it gay. Like writing about you getting fucked by a dude. Just wanted you to know so you can say something about it.”

Steve stops dead, his screen freezing on his open inventory. “Hey, uh, why the fuck would I have a problem about a fictional version of me bottoming? Or- wait, do I seriously give off homophobic vibes? I’m literally bisexual. Hey Dustin, can you ban that guy please? Christ, the nerve of some people. If that’s how you feel about people being gay, or about people writing things that I’ve already said I have no problem with, you can leave this stream right now because I don’t want you here.“)

Many people lost their minds after that stream, one of them being popular tumblr blog whorefireclub.

Eddie didn’t plan on starting a tumblr blog for self-insert fanfiction about a twitch streamer. Really he didn’t, and every time he thinks about it in terms that plain he kind of dies a little on the inside. It’s really all Gareth’s fault, for getting fed up with Eddie’s dumb parasocial crush on a streamer and daring him to just “get it out of his system already”. So, using a bare-bones anonymous tumblr and many, many beers as his cover story, Eddie posted some of the most quickly written and unedited pieces of writing he’s ever produced in his life.

Except he wrote it with an AMAB reader character - and for those of you unfamiliar with the reader-insert sphere, that’s like fucking hen’s teeth. People are pretty good at making things gender neutral at least in their descriptions, and sometimes the anatomy is vague enough that it’s ambiguous, but the majority is written with AFAB genitalia for the reader character.

Eddie’s little drunken post blows up, and at first, he’s never regretted a life choice more.

After thinking about it, and seeing just how many people left comments with their reblogs or came into his askbox directly to thank him for giving them the representation they wanted, he starts to feel a bit better about the whole thing. In fact, it kind of tickles his “protector of the outcasts” instincts; there are people who can’t enjoy the content they want to because it doesn’t gel with their anatomy or gender identity. Eddie could, hypothetically, if he wanted to be absolutely insane about this one hot streamer guy, help fix that problem somewhat.

A couple of months later and he’s become “the guy who writes inclusive reader-insert fic”. While a fair amount of his work is gender-ambiguous, both in anatomy and in avoiding gendered language, more than half is written for anyone who finds themselves underrepresented in the usual reader-insert scene; anyone AMAB, AFAB people who can’t do female language, he’s even written a few oneshots with intersex reader characters. He did research for it and everything. It’s certainly not how he planned for this to work out, but it’s actually kind of... nice. He’d written a lot of fanfiction in his youth, mainly about Lord of the Rings and Star Trek, and while this isn’t how he’d imagined returning to the hobby it’s actually really fun. (It’s making his celebrity crush on Steve a million times worse, of course, but he’s in denial about that so it’s totally fine.)

He’s a little shit, so his blog header has - underneath his personal details - a PSA that reads “Steve, don’t look at this unless you have the balls to shout me out on stream ;)”. Eddie thinks he’s absolutely hilarious.

Right up until he wakes up to find his following has exploded overnight, and upon checking his DMs from his mutuals realizes that - oh shit - that bastard actually did it and talked about his blog on stream.

And Steve said he liked it. Steve likes the porn that Eddie wrote about him. Jesus H. Christ, Eddie is so unfathomably fucked.

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

if this were to exist as a fic it would be told through social media posts/DMs. one of those fics that uses unconventional (i.e. non-prose) formatting, you know the ones. the concept actually came from the fact I fucking LOVE fics like that, I’m a slut for any of that House of Leaves-type shit. one time I read a fic that consisted of 8 short stories and each one had a HTML puzzle you had to solve to be able to read it, e.g. one you had to highlight because the text was in white, another you needed to hover your mouse over to make it scroll through the text - I can’t remember the rest but it was SO COOL.

(or, to put this another way, I read homestuck at a formative age and it forever changed how I feel about formatting stories.)

au's (soulmate, modern, best friends to lovers, fake dating, break up;back together, secretly dating, enemies to lovers [will try my best for any other au's y'all request])

please stay within these newly found guidelines

if you don't see your request within 2-3 days, please let me know which one you sent and i'll do my best to get it out asap. if you don't see it within a week after that, it's because i've gotten busy with my hubbs, kiddos, and the kids i babysit mon-fri from 3pm-5:15pm, est.

edited to add: anything with an asterisk is just the working title, and is subject to change at any point during the writing process before or even after posting.

[nofuckingbody]

wheres the gyoza post 🥸

we should study tumblrs algorithm to ALWAYS show us each others gyoza posts bc i think thats the closest to ever discovering if soulmates exist

[cicerobussytransplant]

another frankly horrifying&dystopic concept is what if tumblr elaborates an algorithm to decide ur 'tumblr soulmate' and it just pairs u up with some good omens/destiel blogger, refusing to explain the criteria, and now ur activities are conjoined until death do u part. id kill myself

[olivieraa]

saw Deadpool 3 today!

god, I remember...

ok so I dont have a connection to superhero movies. superhero anything really. I can list it quite easily

I used to watch the 90s spiderman, xmen and batman as a kid. spiderman was my fave. get in from school, throw on spiderman. then the tobey maguire spideys came out and he was my first ever big crush. then the xmen movies came out and I saw all 3.

so that was before the MCU did its thing, and superheroes took over. I saw the first iron man and that's it all the way up until the first avengers. never saw the captain americas, never saw the thors, never saw the follow up iron mans. and pretty much any of them that have come after it UNTIL... Deadpool 1

and I was a Deadpool hater. I still am. I believe that characters are different per medium, and I do not like comic!Deadpool and I made that clear on tumblr back in the day before the movie came out. so I went to see the movie to see if it was gonna be... well, as misogynistic as comic!Deadpool was

and it wasn't.

I wasn't that big of a fan of the first movie. there's a scene that misogynistic fanboys take out of context all the fucking time. but I consider Deadpool 2 to be one of the best movies ever made. and... very feminist, honestly.

Deadpool 3 I was nervous about. would it be like 1 or 2.......

it was like 2!

I think... I think Ryan just knows. like, the women in his life are very important to him. he could have gone the gross cater to fanboys route with DP but he didn't. so I appreciate that he can be liked by everyone, not just those creeps.

and its saddened me that feminists have hated on Ryan saying its bc of him his wife doesn't have a career anymore and he's thriving. all the man does is praise her, say he's unworthy of her, give her all the credit for any writing she's done esp ON Deadpool. like, I don't care for straight couples, esp Hollywood couples. but I actually like these two. so yeah, I had a good time, I like Ryan and I'd give the movie an 8/10. The second to me was a 10/10

also just speaking of straight couples and women who should be breaking up with or divorcing their men, like ok, I get if you watch one "type" of video, the algorithm is like "here's 50 more", so bc I've seen one or two "useless boyfriend" videos, instagram keeps showing me more and more, but like................ how fucking many are there.

like I know its practically an epidemic of women dealing with their scrubby boyfriends instead of being single, but its goddamn everywhere

And then you have ugly fuckers who want a gf for the sake of having a gf, but will always try, on the sly, to cheat and get with someone hotter

Then there's the constant posts about "why men cheat" and the comment section is full of shit like "why have one meal for the rest of your life" or "bc she stopped trying to look good for me"

And then videos from strippers who say that men who try to cheat on their wives with them is not a here and there thing, its an every day thing, and their wives and gfs think they're the most loyal men out there absolutely INCAPABLE of cheating and yet, here they are!1!

And I dont even need videos to confirm this. My stripper friend says married men propose to her all the time

I know this went from Deadpool to being angry at the straight again, but I just thought I'd keep it to one post, since people have hated on Ryan but they're like the only straight couple I have faith in (aside from my straight friends, I love my straight friends, I wouldnt attend the weddings otherwise lmao)

Like I just... like, women... If you look at your man and dont think he's the one, if you look at your man and think there's a possibility he may cheat on you, if you look at your man and think that you wouldn't put your life on the line for him bc he's not your soulmate

Then leave

Be single or wait, patiently, until you find the one. The women posting these videos constantly make me so sad bc I know they're not leaving these useless ass men! That pregnant woman is just like :( when her bf is looking at other women, but she's like 'oh well! At least I'm the one that has him! ;)'

I don’t normally ask for a favor... lol

But if anyone wants to and has time... you don’t have to read them... but can some people review my books on Webnovel? It helps push them further up the algorithm. I need at least 11 reviews to make a star rating show up. ^-^ Some of the first chapters are free and you can watch ads to unlock about 2-3 a day for free. But I’m not even asking for that. lol If you could just say something in the review area that would be greatly appreciated and I would be so happy! lol I respond to the reviews too like I do on AO3 comments. ^-^

I appreciate you all and I am so thankful for you all! Remember to be yourself no matter what mean things people say and that you are amazing! <3

Synopsis:

Logan hasn’t derived satisfaction from a mortal in centuries. He craved something more. Gwendolyn doesn’t shy away from danger. She walks into his nightclub in search of the gorgeous man she’s only seen in photos. Her scent alone is enough to bring him to his knees at her feet. However, her passion for life makes him afraid of ruining her by bringing her into his lifeless world.

***

“You don’t want to get mixed up with me, trust me, you’re too full of life. I’ll only bring you death and chaos and no one wants that,” Logan leaned on the bar, “most that is.”

“And if I do?”

“Then I gotta say you must have lost your d*mn mind, darling.” 

***

Now, Logan must fight his primal urges to protect his prey from a vicious werewolf stalker, who broke the treaty between wolves and vampires by encroaching on his home, and more importantly, his soulmate.

Will Logan choose to ruin Gwen, or will he hand her over to the wolves?

Update 2022!

Hello and Happy New Year!

I wanted to update you all that I just got signed on with a publisher! This means that I’m going to need a little extra patience with updates on my fanfics because publishing takes a lot of work and I’m new to it. I will update fanfics when I have time to, so don’t worry. :) This being said, I want to thank you all so much for supporting me and reading my writing! Without you all I would have never had the courage to post my fanfics online, self-publish myself, or try for a publisher! Because of you all, I conquered my anxiety about posting my writing and my art! You are all amazing and I appreciate you more than you all know! <3

[pinkseas]

naur but everytime i word vomit into ur inbox i literally cant remember 70% of it than the core details and the ones you answered the next day so it's kinna funny i wish tumblr lets me save my anon asks than eating it up cus i ain't drafting it like ANYWAY TO UR BESTIE THAT MENTIONED US >> I LOVE GOING INSANE WITH ALY PINKSEAS TOO ur friends are so real!!!!!!! youre insane are you single IS SUCH A FUNNY ASS LINE I WISH I WAS HIT BY IT AND I'D SAY YEA WHAT ABOUT IT

"twitter scares me so bad" as you should it's a shithole for genshin altogether with discourse and mischaracterization and you'd literally cannot stop seeing any of them once you get genshin in ur algorithm and yknow what i realized my only Best fandom experience came from tumblr with undertale Despite its discourses bc its got effective filters and the people are genuinely Good so now i'm thinking of yeeting outta twt and spectating my way here like last time (i am already doing it)

"if i read soulmates it has to be done Right [...] they can’t depend on one another they cant need one another they have to Want. they have to Choose" LIKE NO YEAH THIS IS SO TRUE SO REAL THIS IS WHAT BUGS ME ON SOULMATE AUS when it's almost not by choice and they have to work on accepting it like they're forced into needing it's like,.. a very complicated method here in changing their minds toward the other person Because of the cursed bestowed on them- the point of Choice is so fucking important to me especially when it comes to xiao specifically bc in my rendition of his he's unfamiliar with such things for a long time,.. and even in canon he's a lil troubled about deciding things for himself in the presence of higher beings until he's allowed to IT JUST HURTS HE LOST HIS FREE WILL AND THEN UR SOUL BOUND LIKE WHAT (AND FR specific soulmate tropes where the two ARE given the choice for it are. acceptable 2 me)

"lumine handling intensity well and being much better at identifying her emotions suits her SO well imo" yeah like yea!!EVERYTHING ABT THIS and i think it follows up all the traveler's sass in-game bc she's so fuckin hilarious for delivering lines super well despite having Less lines cus aside paimon taking over the talking she does have her moments and i lov her for it I DO WISH THEY HAVE HER TALK MORE EVEN WITH THE USUAL TEXT CHOOSING i just want her sick ass lines conversing

FKSDFHJSKDFJ ENDEARING IS SUCH A GODLIKE WORD TO ME I WILL KEEP USING IT FOR XIAO EVER its the way you can use it like. subtlely. a lil hidden a lil not Much about his cuteness without explicitly calling him cute its Big Word for the small boy!!!!

your thoughts on qpr makes me feel so much better abt thinking this way bout r/s like YEAH its all abt communication and open with boundaries and there really is something stifling about established r/s BUT IT'S COMPLETELY FINE FOR THOSE WHO PREFER THAT ANYHOW!!

AND YES SO MUCH ON LUMINE AND XIAO'S SHOW OF ATTRACTION TO EACH OTHER i wudnt even call it attraction i think anything that indicates a romantic tension between them is something i'm not gonna entertain like 'craving' or 'desire' (this word in particular is used very specific) and stuff like that, and it's a big fact that lumine's attachment feels like its the same to everyone Except aether,... even after she discovers his abyss persona she still begs for them to go back home too. it's unbeatable even to xiao, or at least, xiao has a different treatment to kindness for being so Similar to her (breaks down) "i feel like seeing each other constantly would be a detriment i think it’d make them both feel really weird." like RIGHT????? IT JUST FEELS OFF THIS WAY and it's not a good portrayal of xiao's desperation not wanting to lose someone else anymore. but even then, idt he shows that notion much or at all than his self-sacrifice tendencies, which is an entirely different topic. this thing about xiao's attachments and morals is a complicated thing to tackle altogether...;;,,

"no bc i characterize lumine as LOVING nature so bad" and u are absolute fucking RIGHT to think that, and for me she just likes exploring in general and is a bit of a reckless daredevil so long she has her glider and its the only condition. its stupid it's silly BUT IT MAKES SENSE shes just a constant headache to xiao in looking after her testing through the terrain but /pos

"i am So Grateful to you for sharing your thoughts i am so giddy over us being on such similar wavelengths" AND ME TO YOU TOO IT'S BEEN SO GOOD TO JUST SPILL EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MIND and get comfortable even on stuff im shy to reveal on unpublished asks cus ur reactions even if not agreeing there's still some reassurance anyway and i dont mind that or feel rejected at all when 98% others is what we just. have connected brains on KDJFHSDKJFH AND JEEZ I RLLY DO CAN'T HELP MYSELF WHEN THE BRAINWORMS INVADE WHEN I REPLY UR RESPONSES TOO it takes over my fingers like a parasite i gratefully let em

and ouuouh ur interpretation of the two's development starting in inazuma is so sweet and it makes sense bc of how dangerous the region is bc in my silly lil bran it made sense to have it After the chasm since it's the quests centering his arc AND I STILL CANT BELIEVE HE HAS HIS OWN ARCHON INTERLUDE,.. this made me loving all the peeps of the chasm gang too and i wish they did Something after the quest ended like UEUEUE TRAUMA SHARING SESSION FOR PPL WHO ONLY MET FOR 3 DAYS LETS GO

so like i start from sumeru bc of the points bc of this and bc i love slow development So Much im practically immune to slowburn did u know. all those fics do Not affect me even if i reach its 30th chapter of them being reluctant to opening up. ""zhongli encouraging him to take more time to himself, lumine taking him on little trips guiding him out more and more and more often" is THE CONCEPT EVER YOU HAVE ZHONGLI INVOLVED idk if you dig this but parental zhongli has me on the floor so id like to think he's another important figure in xiao's life aside lumine too he's just that warm hand on his back encouraging Out of his comfort zone and obligations and lumine's the hand that pulls him Along to see the new things of the world. like zhongli is such a dad,.... doing dad things a grandpa to liyue but i also cant help but have him having an attachment to xiao knowing they share a life even as a master-subordinate r/s (cus in my interpretation zhongli never felt that way than thinking he just wants xiao to Live, too,.. sobbing crying shitting)

"taking baby steps in leaving that part of his life, never quite letting go but letting the ties that hold him to liyue loosen, never forgetting his contract and his duty but understanding that there’s no longer an obligation to fulfill it, that he does it out of his own wish instead. i just. idk. idk !!!!!! at the core of it i think im obsessed with them learning how to live again and doing it together" i got no words. i ran out of brain fuel but my body is convulsing folding in on itself liek MY LIEGE YOU ARE!!!!! U R SO,........ LIKE OSBFGKJFGHDKJGH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is THE XIAOLUMI AND METHINKS,....... THE XIAO ARC IN ENTIRETY AS WELL CUS I BELIEVE IN HIS INDEPENDENCY (with a little help and support from ppl who cares bout him) i just akjdhaskejjksfhsdfkjhdsjfhkjdsbvadhvbjhkv

using a read more thingy just for the sake of anyone on mobile

NOT REMEMBERING ASKS IS SO REAL i forget what i say so often even when i Can go back and check how the fuck am i supposed to know what ive said when i Can't

MY BESTIE THAT MENTIONED US >>> SO REAL i think its been more than a few at this point actually which is very funny to me. shan if ur reading this i am holding u so close to me in my little arms. youre insane are you single is the best line ever especially when you are Dating The Person Who Says It my response every time is "no but i could be😏" i find myself far too funny its awful

we are Shaking Hands in terms of being on tumblr experiencing the undertale fandom that's so real of us undertale was the reason i got a tumblr in the first place all those years ago... you should ABSOLUTELY spectate here i literally never see anything i don't want to see i live in my perfect little echo chamber it's so <333

"even in canon he's a lil troubled about deciding things for himself in the presence of higher beings until he's allowed to" GODDD YEAH YEAH YEAH YEA H YEAH YEAHY HEA YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!! do NOT force this boy into situations he does that enough by himself thank you very much

"even after she discovers his abyss persona she still begs for them to go back home" no bc its just. On Another Level Genuinely. they've been traveling together with no one but each other with god knows how long especially depending on personal headcanons, they're used to going through entire worlds and moving on theyre used to not getting super attached !!! its a little different in teyvat i think because theyve lost most of their power and they're trapped and alone for the foreseeable future but. that still doesnt change the past and their habits yknow ?? its something i try REALLY hard not to think about actually because (with the exception of a very specific au which i am currently writing for) unless they're just. trapped on teyvat Forever i CANNOT imagine lumine staying there once she has the ability to leave and i CANNOT imagine xiao ever leaving. it makes me So Sad genuinely i simply refuse to acknowledge its existence

"xiao's attachments and morals is a complicated thing to tackle altogether" SO REAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM SO GLAD U THINK IM RIGHT ABT THE NATURE LOVING it just feels right tbh and "shes just a constant headache to xiao in looking after her testing through the terrain but /pos" also so real <33333333 lumine and her silly little glider. god. i love them both so bad

i do like to think of the chasm as post-inazuma but thats because in my head w/ their development inazuma is like. The Next Step almost, where they're close enough in liyue but the fact that they continue to be close even once lumine has left really hits. and then they've been a bit closer and become familiar with one another in quite a few ways by the time the chasm happens and then i get super self indulgent with the chasm because i am so silly like that <3333 in terms of slowburn and the way you've described their growing closeness it does make SO much sense to swap it tbh i love the thought of the chasm being like the start of things and the way that'd bring them closer before inazuma and. mfgnmhfnmf god. GOD.

"i wish they did Something after the quest ended" no bc in my little brain they get together once every month or two just to have a meal together and talk and keep up with each other they are Friends Now

"parental zhongli has me on the floor so id like to think he's another important figure in xiao's life aside lumine too he's just that warm hand on his back encouraging Out of his comfort zone and obligations and lumine's the hand that pulls him Along to see the new things of the world" this is the most perfect accurate thing i have read in my entire life for starters i LOVE parental zhongli like. idk not FULL parental not too much but def him being a more parental figure in xiao's life especially compared to other interpretations of their dynamic i just. god. it is So Important to me that zhongli cares for him and looks after him just in those little ways. the warm encouraging hand on his back vs the hand pulling him along is PERFECT thats such a fucking amazing way of putting it i love everything abotu that the image is so clear in my head

o(-(

^^^ me dead on the floor thinking about zhongli and lumine being such important figures in xiao's life... i like to think that a Lot of the characters in liyue are important to him in different, small little ways i just don't know their characters well enough to fully describe how but like. idk baizhu qiqi yanfei ganyu yknow ?? i know next to nothing about yanfei but i might have to try and write her for this honestly we'll see how it goes but i REALLY want there to be at least one character other than the few i have now who he ends up talking to even if its just smth rly simple... if nothing else the chasm crew is getting an honorable mention on god

idk i just. xiao has done so much for liyue for so long i really love to think of those very few who know him trying to do little supporting things for him, too it's so important to me

okay and now !!!

i am also gonna answer the Other Ask but without publishing it naturally it will simply live comfy cozy in my inbox <333

THAT ONE SHIP "it mischaracterizes Both characters in the pair altogether for the sake of romance" you're so real for this idk i dont MIND seeing it but it has never felt in character to me and i feel like this describes exactly why ?? idk maybe its just the xiaolumi brainworms eating away at me but like. i Get It

what you said about like. your personal hcs for him in regards to that trauma and how he processes it that is SO fucking valid, i def understand getting anxious about certain self-indulgent hcs im the same way both with the sillier ones and heavier ones but i can promise you that if nothing else i will Never judge you for even the most self indulgent ridiculous shit EVER. like the way you described it all is so valid and so easy to picture and a really good way to interpret/believe he'd deal with everything but even if you were to have the most ooc headcanon or anything ever just for fun just for the sake of it i simply would never judge having fun is the Most Important with these things im so srs

we have diff interpretations of how he'd deal with things like the yaksha's deaths and zhongli dying but i think a lot of the points we both have are still pretty similar, ESPECIALLY with him not knowing how to handle it and ESPECIALLY especially with the shock factor. the way i write him or would write his reaction to that would definitely be him just sort of Shutting Down emotionally because its too much and too overwhelming and so he kicks into like. i cant call it work mode its not really a job. but he fully focuses on fighting and finding out who couldve killed rex lapis and like. he turns his attention to things that are familiar and easier to deal with and he buries himself in them the way one would bury themselves in their work to ignore emotions yknow? and then there'd be the shock factor of "oh he Is alive" and then there's this massive pit of grief with nowhere to go because logically, reasonably, rex lapis is alive, there's nothing left to grieve. he shouldn't still be upset <- man who refuses to let himself process and feel his emotions when the emotions dont stop existing just bc he ignores them

that being said that's definitely a Pattern With Me Specifically like in the barbara fic ive been working its built off of canon but i take it SO far just bc i can :sob: and i enjoy it way too much to want to Not do that yknow? girls who struggle to process and Actually Feel their emotions writing characters strugglign to process and Actually Feel their emotions so that she can process and feel them vicariously through them <3 or something along those lines idk at this point its less that and more "wow this is really fun to write and its smth im familiar with so its easier to write as well"

my cat meowed and i stepped away for like 2 seconds to pet her and immediately lost every train of thought ive ever had in my life hopefully i wasnt gonna say anything else LMAO but no yeah self indulgent hcs and ways of interpreting characters >>>>>>>

i keep reading and rereading the way you described xiao's response to grief i am OBSESSED its so easy to imagine its so easy to see like oh my god. ohhhh my god. based as hell it suits him so well

i cannot think of anythign else to say back to the trenches i go <- finding scenes where i started in the middle or left out the endings and filling those parts in now that i dont know what else to write. its been really nice actually ive gotten a lot done just with that LMAO

[mercury-exalted]

There's this "synchronicity" aspect to like, all of life. Sometimes things line up and it's meaningful as fuck! HOWEVER. It cannot happen on an algorithmic website! Seeing 13+ tarot card readers back to back telling you that you're simultaneously a reincarnation of an Egyptian god, cursed, going to find love in .5 seconds, going to get back with a soulmate, going to get rich in half the time it makes you to find love, etc. is NOT synchronistic in anyway!

However, seeing a tumblr poll (tumblr has a non-algorithmic 'following feed' as far as i can tell) and one person you follow reblogs something that lines up with something thats on your mind, THAT is synchronicity.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS BLASPHEMY

this fact makes me want to RIP MY HAIR OUT

[elaichoi]

gasp 🔴 live viewing of soulmates au unfolding irl

yes in fact i am (confirmed)

to be fair i haven't been on tumblr that long i joined somewhere btwn jan-mar of this year and so i don't think ive experienced many of your themes (blog profile wise), but i remember stalking the tags and it was easy to spot what works were yours based on the header edit, it stands out and is v eyecatching among other stuffs in the tags ^_^

mhm i think your style is very deviantart fs hehe,,, NAUR FR they r the ogs i used to want to be them so bad. for reference i started getting into kpop around 2/2.5 gen,, i was an admin on a facebook snsd fanpage and posted like png shadow/swirl edits 😭😭😭 simple times

hell i'd love to! i don't think i'm mentally there i fr lack the creative capacity, its in very rare circumstances do i see something that i kind of envision and edit in my head and ill usually screenshot it to keep the idea there but i even more rarely ever jump into starting the edit.

yes it is! i still have and use it, it was the 'it' app for photo editors back then me thinks, kind of like the ae of photo editing... at least from my viewpoint on the ig fanpage editing scene. it was the hotter sister to picsart lmaoo

see soulmates au!! we couldve crossed paths but we didn't!! until now!! 😾

omg wait stop it cus i used to love reading imagines n shit on ig but im pretty sure i stopped because i felt like it wasn't a popular content type esp since its a photography platform. i browsed the tags for imagines n stuff but it was meh,, i only followed ONE imagines account 🥲

wait so to clarify, u also edited on ig alongside writing?? imagine if we crossed paths on the algorithm dats crazy 😭 you're the cool one i wish i could be skilled in both literature and art ?? i simply do not have enough brain cells for that ^_^

canva on phone is my enemy‼️ at least the last time i used the mobile app,, bc i now use it only on desktop, sometimes on ipad... cus u alr cannot see the layers i cannot be doing anything complex bc i will def tap on the wrong layer and thats annoying -_- the patience u have ㅠㅠ well assuming the app is still like that idk maybe it changed

HAHAH i used to draw before like pencil paper shit so i thought i could do it digitally....and after years of not drawing on pencil paper too 💀💀

u are so much more articulate than me goodbye thats embarrassing 4 me T_T

soulmate does exist <3 look at us being prime example!!

actually i think ive active with my account within the time frame as well, probably feb-march i think, but before that i didn't care about the account that much but like slowly started make headers im a tryhard ( only after i stopped obsessing tumblr themes bc i couldn't figure it out) ARE you fr?? like u could tell my works in the tags of my header?! dude that's so,,, that's like such a huge compliment that I've got something that makes someone go ah yes it's that same. author like it feels so fulfilling, YOURE REALLY BUTTERING ME UP ILYSM!!! thousand consentual kisses!!!!

YOURE SO COOL WTH YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2/2.5 GEN PLS THATS SO awesome ive been into kpop since mid 2017 so most of my groups like og ones were third gen but I listened to 2nd gens too and SNSD my beloved!!! genie was my introduction of kpop tbh and replay by shinee is what made me stay so i can say im a child of 2nd gens too lmao but holy shit I want YOUR PLAYLIST!!!!!!!! GIVE ME SONG RECS!

tbh i get you i only edit for my headers or blog too tbh like usually if there is no purpose you don't really feel like editing bc it's like what are you even gonna do with it? and you've said that you've always posted them so maybe the fact you don't have anywhere to showcase your art has you feeling like that too?

"hotter sister of picsart" this is so real bc all the hot editorson Instagram ( the western artists collage style specially) all used superimpose and thr fact they used to pay for it too.

bro like imagine if we did cross paths i think i was more active on ig during 2019-2021? imagine if we had ever crossed paths since we both worked on kpop lmao, okay but if you like posted your work under #kpopgfx im pretty sure i have came across at least once!

did kpop have imagine accounts? i knew a lot of dating door accounts tho lmao but then again i was stuck in wattpad, and that's all the delulu you need lmao.

lmao yeah i always wrote with my works, most of my edits were based on stuff i wrote basically like love stories based on songs, certain ideas (was BIG on mythologies and all the other things.) but really fr tho i wonder if I actually ever saw your work tho because i never had the guts to interact with other editors.

lmao im the same with canva but on laptop i for the life of me cant do that plus i just use it get pngs and other stuff also when i want to do masking lmao. i usually collect shit on there and then manipulate those on my own app.

bro that is insane that you used to actually drawing like as someone who can't draw a single straight line this is so cool to me i really wish i could draw tbh

articulate and me? lmao im literally all over the place but it's so sooo fun to talk to you!!

[dolofinao]

First and foremost, my proof of admission. My, golden ticket for all of these words not to be heard but... do me a solid & actually fucking listen.

Though I know the words I spoke were never part of, any crystal balls, tarot cards or, algorithms... my dear I had a real man's vision. With God guided intentions I'd mention these, heights I'd envisioned & only asked that you'd do what you asked of me &.... give in.

And a quick reminder since I 'know' you, this isn't me writing just to, show you, or tell you about yourself. God has my back on that. But, back on track, I had a blueprint on, this thing you swore was the real deal, this..... 'soul twin' mentality you pushed into my reality when, I was focusing on myself. I was on chill. But like a fool I, fell into these signs & similarities those, words from another pair of sweet lips telling me, no other man could compare to me.

Intuition said careless but my heart just said carefree because, all of this soulmate talk was just puppy love apparently. And this is where I failed to realize never to settle & set aside being a better me.

Now that the chips are down, & our love cries make not a sound, you realize the importance of self care. All those times I stressed not to neglect time alone was, just seen as selfishness & me trying to get off of the phone. Now you realize.

Those sacrifices you didn't have to make and, late night phone calls you didn't have to take. Now you realize. See I lost my self worth to give birth to this man you so desperately wanted to be your all while I, became a shell of myself but feared to fall from the cloud you provided to carry me on in pieces I, neglected myself, a notion you were at peace with. Now you realize. Because now it's you who knows what it is like to be broken.

[midnighter13]

Timestamp to the you are my sunshine soulmate au: Molly and Caleb celebrate an anniversary with gifts (and an intimate evening). 

[dat-bruv-person]

ೃ⁀➷ they all love you <3

a/n: just a little something that I thought of. Also I understand now that the tumblr algorithm is the worst and people aren't noting my posts as much anymore :( but thank you to those who have!

gn!reader, poc!reader friendly :)

﹌﹌﹌

You and Yae Miko make quite the duo.

Ever since her familiar left to meditate in her little plane for a few centuries, Yae found that she easily got bored with the mortals and their traditions. When you came along, an immortal being who seemed to have all the time in the world to wander as you pleased, a newfound excitement erupted from within her and fueled her to make conversation. It turned out to be one of the best conversations she's had in years. You were smart, witty and had an interesting sense of humour that could make her laugh effortlessly, to the point where her cheeks hurt. Ei could never do that, I mean she could, but it always had to be Miko who initiated a conversation. To put it simply, she loved you but oh did it make her blood boil when she saw you with thise Yashiro Commissioners.

Ayato, Ayaka and Thoma are all very fond of you.

It all started when you stopped to help Thoma with the groceries he was due to take back to the Kamisato Estate. He was a very friendly person, call him a bundle of sunshine if you may, and you only made him smile a lot wider when you complimented his vision, headband and sense of humour. You even made him blush at one point! He found delight in your company, so why not go extend that happiness to the Kamisato Clan? Ayaka was very shy to meet you, her heart already fluttering when she met your gaze. You looked so gorgeous at that moment, dare she say, she had to divert her stare elsewhere when you gently kissed the back of her hand as a subtle greeting. Ayato on the other hand was a lot bolder in shaking your hand and caressing your hair upon introduction, and decided to invite you for dinner. You four had a dream-like time playing the hot pot game and exchanging contact information. They were all on cloud nine, but seeing you go out with the Shuumatsuban and firework girl made their smiles falter.

Yoimiya and Sayu are polar opposites yet with you, they share many common interests.

Sayu liked resting her head on your lap without fearing the shrine maidens since you were well acquainted with the Guuji, and Yoimiya didn't mind taking a nap to recharge either. The sound of the fireworks made excellent background noise for the Shuumatsuban to slumber through whilst you and Yoimiya simply watched without a care in the world, chewing on dango and holding hands. Sweet smiles were exchanged between you two and she lay her head on your shoulder; finding it comfy. Times like this made both of the girls forget what Inazuma used to be like, they could just bask in your presence quietly... Until that oni came along.

Itto + You = the most wholesome team ever!

Itto always made sure to keep his hair in good condition - but even more so now that you've entered his life. From piggyback rides to onikabuto wrestling, he cherished every moment he had with you. Whenever he saw you, he'd run up to you and engulf you in his embrace, you silently suffocating in his manboobs, and whenever you parted he would run his fingers through your hair and squish your cheeks. Arataki pretty much saw you as his other half. His Arataki to his Itto. His dango to his milk. His soulmate. You were perfect to him, and you saw him as nothing but perfect too! Swinging each other around and running through tall grass together. The perfect combination. The only combination that wasn't perfect was seeing you and the shogun's most devoted tengu walking together on the outskirts of Inazuma city.

Kujou Sara vowed to serve the Shogun, but that same loyalty has seemed to apply to you too.

She was inspired by you, to work harder to regain the respect and trust that the Inazuman people once had in the Tenryou Commission; to make children smile when they saw generals patrolling the streets - not to make them cry. Though she had never met you before that moment, call you the pied piper because you could make all the children dance and giggle around you. It made Sara's heart soar to see that sight, and when she asked you for advice you did not seem afraid. You smiled at her and shared your secrets. Mornings with you then consisted of proposals to join the Tenryou Commission, promising high ranks and large amounts of respect. You only wanted to do it out of the good of your own heart, and who was she to stop you? She only wished that you could relax with her as you did with all the others, particularly the poet.

Kazuha could write one hundred poems about you every time you hugged him, but he would much rather say them to you instead.

Our Canadian Aether here did not have a grudge against anyone and was grateful for the gift of patience afterwards. Time was slow when you and he were together. Sometimes he'd come to Inazuma, other times you and he would set sail on the Crux fleet to Mondstadt and Liyue, and he would show off his maple leaf collection whilst playing you gentle tunes. Beidou was very proud of her son, proud that even with everything he had been through he had found someone to find solace in. Kazuha thought he was in Celestia whenever you rubbed his cheeks in clockwise circles. A blush tinted them a soft pink and he thanked you as took you up to the top of the deck to show you the beautiful sunset that had formed behind the ship.

Even during the hardest times, the Guuji Yae, the Yashiro Commissioners and their servant, the Shuumatsuban, the firework maker's daughter, the himbo oni, the tengu warrior, the anemo stowaway and his pirate mother could count on you. They all love you ~

WHAT KIND OF SOULMATE LINK DO YOU HAVE?

please reblog my work! tumblr’s algorithm works best that way :)

BANG CHAN

for you and chan, it’s always been being able to hear the music the other is singing inside your head. you’d lisren to unreleased tracks and tunes you tried finding on the internet for hours only to come up empty, and chan would spend sometimes hours at a time with the icarly theme song inside his head whilst trying to produce and — why is his soulmate singing icarly, of all things? he’ll give you points for original music taste, he guesses.

LEE MINHO

with minho, your link is more convenient when it comes to finding each other. every time you’re asleep at the same time, you meet each other in your dreams — it’s sometimes a dance studio, sometimes a lake with a bordering forest that swallows everything whole. you talk, and laugh, and you form a bond before even meeting. there’s one downside, though: you can’t purposefully meet each other. no exchanging contact numbers, or addresses, or making plan. just… fate.

SEO CHANGBIN

i think the link you have with changbin is really fun. each month, you get a new hint as to who your soulmate is written on the palm of your hand. it’s vague things: brown eyes, sharp features, music — it becomes a funny joke, within you and your friends, when at some point the hints turn into: brown hair, black hair, dirty blond, purple hair, blue hair. your favorite hint you’ve ever gotten is snorlax, and it became your favorite pokemon afterwards. it’s easy to brainstorm what changbin might be getting every month.

HWANG HYUNJIN

with hyunjin, it’s the inability to see color until you meet each other. everything is in black and white, and you hear of your friends who have already found their soulmates that the world is so beautiful in color; you just want to see it with your own eyes. it’s when you bump into a boy outside a coffee shop whilst rushing to get to the bus stop that color splashes before your eyes. everything turns vibrant shades of green, red — and just how is the sky so blue? the boy apologizes for ages despite the coffee spilled on his shirt, and his brown eyes and pink lips are kept in your memory like an oath even though you start seeing him every day.

HAN JISUNG

you and jisung have the same handwriting, and i’d like to imagine that both of you write a lot — he’s got his notebook full of song lyrics and ideas, and you’ve got a journal, or class notes, or just simple little reminders for the day. every curve of each letter, every size of a word, it perfectly aligns with the way the other writes. it’s a fun game once you two meet each other, writing words and seeing just how similar you two write ( even though you know you write exactly the same )

LEE FELIX

i believe with felix it would be more on the touchy side! there’s a birth mark made out of different sized freckles on each of you, showing where you touched each other for the first time. i’m being entirely self indulgent here and saying that with him, you kind of had a vent-to-a-stranger moment as he was very stressed and u found him at the edge of a breakdown around midnight. you wiped his tears with your hands, hence the freckles that decorate felix’s face. your palms are covered in freckles, too.

KIM SEUNGMIN

for seungmin, you get his initials on your wrist. the KSM is black and looks almost faded, as if it were an old tattoo. he has your initials on his own wrist, too. as he’s an idol, it’s common for him to cover his soulmark wrist with a watch, bracelets, or anything that fits what he’s wearing. it makes it tricky to find each other, especially because you wouldn’t consider your soulmate being an idol as a first thought.

YANG JEONGIN

you stop aging when you turn eighteen, and it’s your coming of age to meet your soulmate. you won’t know that person is your soulmate until you realize — wait, i’m growing older..? with jeongin, you get stuck at eighteen for a while, because it’s quite hard to get to know a boy like him. regardless, you manage to grow old together despite the hardships. love finds a way and all that.
