#ty everyone ilu all <3

[crystalflygeo]

Long overdue final ebg post (lmao) bc I need to get this out of my system...

Tag for all the posts/storyline

Art by the amazing lovely precious cutie Aine @/ainescribe

First of all I want to thank @i23kazu immensely for allowing me to participate pls I was SO unsure at first haha and she absolutely killed it with the interactions, the lil side project, the prompts, the scores tally... it's just so much work, kudos to you Ying fr!! It was a super fun game.

Shoutout to my besties/mutuals

@silentmoths @ainescribe thank you for your lil asks I love seeing your characters aaaaaaaa 💕

@floraldresvi @moraxsthrone and all the anons I got, your sabotages here and in discord were brutal omg Vi you almost made my cry //pos bc I wanted to react/respond to Li's messages 🥺 EVERY SINGLE TIME ghgnhgnghgn and NOT KEL MAKING MY GIRL HAVE A WET DREAM/SPICY MEMORY TYVM 💕 the way I had to contain myself hELP I loved it svcgavscgvsjgacbkackl

@meimeimeirin you also sabotaged me a lot, meanie //pos I loved SO MUCH your asks/little stories aaaaaa thank you for engaging so much when I know you're super busy 🥺 it def made my day everytime, ty for bringing the girl home and solving my silly lil mystery hehe 💕

@kurikurikurisu GIIIIIRL it's so funny to me that we kinda started interacting more on the last ebg for Rin and then I was like "she's a cool person I wanna fren.... 👉🏻👈🏻 but I shy...." took my sweet time to invite you to the server and turns out THIS ebg got us closer (I think? ehe?//hit) we didn't interact much in tumblr with each other's plots but bOY were we emotional support in discord, we really were in this suffering together 🤝🏻 mhm //nods nods 🤣 thank you so much for being interested in my lil silly plot and my girl aaaaaa

As for the "plot" and other things... (this got so long I am so sorryy;;;)

Well at first I wanted to do kinda a normal ebg, no plot or anything bc I don't think I have the smarts to do an elaborate game/story lmao and I kinda wanted to have more established s/i lore?? And then I realized hey I can use the ebg to introduce my s/i!!!

See I'd been working SO hard on her names lately, researching and studying in-game adepti lore and stuff and I though why don't I make it a simple game where the goal is to guess her name (with me giving hints ofc) and at the very start I had the idea of her losing her memories so she could re-discover/remember things about herself alongside the "players" learning them. Whoever character I got as my bias would help her and get to know her too along the way, even npcs (or in the rare case of me getting Dottore/Pantalone, probs be the villain for her memory loss lmao)

And then I got Kazuha. And it was so SO perfect. I took inspiration from Spirited Away with the plot point of having your name/memories/identity stolen and for some reason I remembered the whole Ino-shika-cho koi-koi card combo from Summer Wars I just had this vivid mental image of a scene where Kazuha dropped the biggest hint by writing the Kanji for Butterfly (Chō) which doubles ofc as the Hanzi for Butterfly/Crystalfly (Dié) written the same pronounced (and romanized) differently :3c

I was very proud of myself//hit also

I did not end up making haiku bc they are complicated but I at least tried to loosely keep/emulate the 3 phrases, phonetic rhyme and sensory elements while referencing my lil plot lmao

✧˖Originally I was gonna blame it on a playful tanuki or smth but I don't think they're powerful enough youkai lmao it was probably a kitsune.... we may never know ✧˖She was technically never in any danger yeah but imagine being lost with no memories and no way to know if you could get them back even because every person she met kept telling her they didn't know ofc she'd break down, or at least me, I'm very crybaby and neurotic sometimes//HIT ✧˖Yes this entire thing was technically Zhongli's fault since he did write her a letter addressed 亲爱的晶蝶 ("My dear Crystalfly/Jingdie") and that IS her name woops on a random note I kinda imagine he also signs with something like 你的龙 "Your Dragon" and vice versa with Crys ("My dear Dragon/your Crystalfly") sgcvgajsvcjhacbajkca //squeals kicks feets

And all this started because I was stressing over the fact that "Crys" is not an appropriate name for a Liyue character lmao, I debated for so long giving her a chinese name, but I didn't want to further make her an OC I wanted her to represent me/my blog (also part of me was and still is immensely worried I somehow insult cn ppl by being as some sort of weeabo equivalent or that I am "appropriating culture" or idk I may be dumb but I try to do my research and I prommy it does not come from a place of malice or anything I genuinely love genshin and Li and it's got me interested in a culture/country I funnily enough have somehow interacted with and have friends in but never really paid that much attention to ig...) and then I just had the epiphany What if I just reverse engineer and name her Crystalfly in cn? Lore would be that either her name got accidentally translated in documents a long long time ago and ppl started calling ehr Crystalfly/Crys and she rolled with it or she simply adopted the translation/nickname as her name for international settings, keeping her true name more private (hidden in plain sight tbh) p sure the only ones who know are the elder adepti (Ganyu/Xiao included) and Neuvillette (once he told her his real/first name) (ironically Crys may be harder to pronounce i other languages lmaoooo rip Fontaine)

Anyway this got way too long lmao sorrryyyyyyyy thank you everyone kith kith love y'all bye!! 💕

[clownkiwi]

yea, so i think i'll be able to stream tonight. im mostly over it now, enough to the point that i may be able to stream tonight

thank you to everyone who said really kind things yesterday, i think what helped me to get over it was distracting myself endlessly

and just. standing in the usual room where i hold my switch streams (which is the same room my one cat used to be in) also really helped, i feel. more comfortable to stream tonight than i was able to last night

Not yet but I live in fear every day especially since I'm dipping my toe in the Republic Commandos pond and I know the girlies are passionate

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do and it's ridiculously graphic HAHAHA no but there's a reason I haven't posted any Rexsoka smut. Makin y'all wait for it until they COMMIT, gotta keep that tension in there somewhere uwu. But wlw, mlw, mlm, aliens and cyborgs gonna work their way in there eventually (?) I have Not Out Loud, which is an mlm fic with Boba tying up Cal and facefucking him (Kesett nation rise)

I get really ahead of myself laying out hints and red herrings which I then forget about (Princess For A Year especially is the worst about this, I am so sorry for all of those hints about Sylen being a pretend Mandalorian I fucked up so bad with that one but I'm going to rewrite it eventually to bring back a bunch of my dropped subplots)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I enjoy it and do so regularly. Mando'a nuhur'shya ni ru'kar'tayli. And it makes my brain work in unexpected ways, it's like a puzzle trying to figure out the wacky ass baby's-first-conlang grammar that is Karen's creation (what the fuck kind of language doesn't have a passive voice)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

OKAY OKAY TECHNICALLY, TECHNICALLY????? It was the Lion King. I was in first grade and we had to write a little storybook and illustrate the pages they gave us with crayons and my story was How Simba Lost His Mane lmfaoooo

re parent regret article.... recently got my mom to admit she and my dad are deeply unhappy and the only reason they got married and had kids (in their early 20s, and it has dictated every moment of their lives since) is because it was what was expected of them and they felt like it was just the thing to do ... its very upsetting to think of how unhappy and unfulfilled my parents are but at the same time its kind of freeing because I understand a lot of their actions better now and their inability to raise us and give me the care I needed. this year I am older than my parents were when they had my oldest sibling and I kind of feel like im older than them now because theyve never fully grown past that point at least not as individuals. ya I suppose everyone has their paths in life and it all fits together and works and means something but it is very sad to realize your childhood was painful because your parents were really just not suited to be parents and couldn't have done any better. im trying to not be weighed down by their lack of self actualization and to be an example for them by manifesting my life in the way I want despite them being upset by it, and to encourage them to become real people now that theyre 60.. umm ya sorry your inbox has become my therapy sessions recently it just feels so much better to confess these things anonymously and write it all out to someone instead of trying to explain to someone face to face and have it deal with their responses. plus i think u understand a lot of my issues although objectively our lives are quite different! anyway yeah hope you have a nice day!!!! xoxo 2012 :3

ilu <3 i relate to much of this i will detail my thoughts below , im glad my inbox can be of use to u i believ The Confessional is a very necessary function in society it can be so transcendent to get something off your chest w/o having to affect your personal life in any way ^^ and i did have a super nice day ty i hope u did too..<3 :readmore:

it is really crazy to think about the pressure ppl face to start families , seems to be less prevalent now but yeah even 20-30 yrs ago it was just, What You Do.. for my parents, they were in love, and i think they rly did want kids, they were together for 5 years before doing it they planned it out, i DO believe they were soulmates. but then once the reality set in idrk there was just this disconnect. my dad was the more nurturing parent, and he had kids from a prior marriage so he knew wat he was in for, i think he missed my brothers a lot so he had perspective. i assume anyway. but he was also major alcoholic which i thought was normal for so long (in england it is i spose). that took up a lot of his time. i know so little about him or his inner workings its quite torturous to me lol.

and my mom is still alive but i know so little about her too, other than stuff i learned thru drunken outbursts. when i try to ask her anything remotely personal or emotional now she stonewalls me so hard :/ she's always just been closed. her childhood was Horrific tho like both her parents were still minors when she was born, her mom is a WW2 orphan and her dad was a delinquent forced to enlist in the navy instead of being sent to juvie. all the stuff she HAS revealed to me abt her life is absolutely bats**t. its awful like i genuinely can not feel a single morsel of bitterness towards my mom knowing wat she's been thru.

that being said i WAS extremely angry at her for a big portion of my life its been a journey to unravel. but at this point i feel so much forgiveness idek how i got here or when. but i love her unconditionally! i also feel that my moms self actualization was rly stunted, not even by having kids but by my dads death, and being left with these kids she has to care for alone, oh god if i try to imagine how she felt it turns my insides to stone. like it really fractured her soul and made existing problems spiral out of control. although that being said she is doing WAY better now in comparison to the past, im rly proud of her. when we talk i try to always encourage her like u say..

really the best medicine is being able to zoom out and view the big picture of Life, not just your life but how all our lives fit together, when you zoom out you can spot the patterns find the order in the chaos. for ages n ages i cldnt understand the reason everything in my life was hell while all these other ppl i knew seemed to have it so normal. Nowadays i can understand how it lead me here, the trajectory and timing of everything, it brought me a lot of EXPerience i can use to help others..Even just by having this blog where i can talk about vulnerable topics , ppl tell me it helps them, i begin to see a new sense of value in my endured sufferings. if i feel like im healing someone that heals me ..

thanx for the msg :] ermm i hope my response dont come off as traumadumping or something LOL i write this all with a matter-of-fact tone in mind. just explaining some stuff for anyone who may need it. hope u have a good night 2012-chan keep shining bright for your family.. <3pmd9

[laundrette]

i only use 2 playlists on my laptop unless i'm using the writing one but we'll go with "80s montage summer" (misnomer: this is not entirely 80s music, unlike "zanna's greatest hits" which is, in fact, entirely classic rock)

-"happy hanukkah (will we still be friends?)" by philip labes GOD i love this song

-"there she goes" by sixpence none the richer. oh this is such an early 2000s summer song to me <3

-"all the love in the world" by outfield. outfield the sound of roadtrips in my childhood....ilu

TY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GAME TYING GOAL

[playedwright]

👀🏅☀️❤️

MWAH ilu ty ty <3

👀 Do you have any words/phrases you use habitually oh god i'm sure i do BHSHFKHS hmm.. ive noticed in a lot of my stuff i tend to include something along the lines of "[great extraordinary thing] but none of it compares to [love interest]". also i really like sweetheart as a pet name so that makes its appearance fairly often. that's all i can think of off the top of my head buh

🏅 What is the fic you’re most proud of? answered here but since we r buddie mutuals i will include i was p proud of (like 85% of) flash like a setting sun<3

☀️ Has anyone ever left you a comment that made your day? What did it say? oh god so many!!! one person commented quoting a line back to me and said they wanted it in their vows, that was amazing. also any comment i get about characterization being spot on always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, idk why that's something i fixate on but god it Thrills me every time. also one recently that i've come back to reread a few times said "at several points during this fic i was so reminded of my own past unrequited love that i had to pause so i could cry... which is all to say that op's depiction of love is so authentic and brutally honest and warm and beautiful. i want to live in this world you've created forever." and i have not stopped thinking about it since

❤️ Who is your favorite character to write for and why? OHOHO ok going by fandoms i've written for bc there is a Lot. for 911, buck hands down. my next buddie wip is eddie pov and i'm really enjoying writing from his perspective but i LOVE writing buck, i am inside that guy's head and i'm gonna make it everyone's problem. for spn, i think i'm best at writing dean but i love love love writing castiel, he's just. this huge cosmic entity who has seen more than we comprehend and i love referencing that and juxtaposing it with him ogling just some guy on earth. for it movies eddie was my favorite to write, he's my special little guy and getting to write him and give him stupid little antics was so fun. ok i'm gonna stop there tho bc this is already long enough xoxo <3 <3

[hikari-ni-naritai]

Emilyyyyyyyyyyyyy fe3h makes me sad :( its well written and i like the non conclusiveness of any endings so its like, pick which you like. but ALSO i just want my indulgent route where everyone is in one big fuck you army and i can just chill with all of them, thatd be dope... Doubt theyd do it at this point though... Havent played the dlc but that seemed more pre-skip.. Would you like a combo ending? not even a "true" route but judt having them all? aldo ilu and keep being dope as hell ty

Now to be completely fair, doing dimitris route lets you get very nearly every character.

Anyway i don't need a big huge Army all I need is my wife edelgard and her wife dorothea and her wifes Ingrid and bernadetta and petra and Mercedes and her wife Annette, and also marianne and shamir and hubert and his wife Ferdinand. On second thought you can't have flayn in edelgard route so yes I want big fuck army. I miss my sweet baby girl :( she deserves fish and happiness.

I haven't played any dlc bc i kinda just stopped playing right at the final boss but I still have a whole lot of feelings about edelgard and girl byleth and flayn. I should get back to it. I love u too anon! <3 I'm glad you've enjoyed the game!

thoughts on Korrasami, Azula, and Raphael Santiago 👀

HELLO TY FOR SENDING SO MANY ILU sorry it took me so long 2 answer

korrasami: this is less thoughts and more of a story but anyway. ok dead ass i watched the whole show live and i was one of those people that were like “y’all korrasami tinhatters are crazy there’s no way they’re gonna make a same sex pairing canon” like i thought it was a pretty ok ship but i didn’t and still don’t have Strong LoK Shipping Opinions bc most of the lok cast doesnt make me feral the way the atla cast does, so i was like “w/e y’all gonna be disappointed like us gays always are so on ur own head be it”

AND THEN THE FINALE AIRED

it got put up on nick before i woke up and i like distinctly remember waking up and blearily scrolling my tumblr dash on my phone as i often do to acclimate myself to the waking world and EVERY. SINGLE. POST. was wigging out about it. and at first i was like what wait so there was some korrasami fanservice or something? HAHA NO THEY’RE CANON BI!!! and i was like FUCK OFF NO WAY and i raced out of bed faster than i had ever done anything to watch the finale and my eyes were like so huge and round like i could not BELIEVE it. 6 years later im still in total shock. 

azula: SHE SCARES ME :( i always get scared when azula comes on my screen. im kind of glad she didnt get a redemption arc in the show because you just cant do that twice...you cant top what zuko had so why try...i mostly know what happens to her in the comics and im like mostly down with it but i just feel like it’s very difficult to know what to do with a character like azula after her story has concluded and it sort of feels Fake to have her bounce all the way back around to being a Good Guy the way zuko is...i can’t see her ever learning respect for other people and cultures the way he did, yk? i think it’s fucked up that iroh devoted so much time and energy trying to Reach zuko and none to azula but like...that’s just misogyny yk

this is totally me thinking of the hbo version but i feel like for azula, a more realistic yet positive outcome for her would be something like a “if i go down i’m taking you with me” against a bigger foe like ozai, who caused her so much pain, or some enemy zuko was facing, to show she was on his side even if she couldn’t support like the Goodness Of World Peace or w/e. i just don’t see her learning to function in the world?? like i wouldn’t believe it?? so a very tarrlok and noatok situation, yk. like MAYBE if she did what zuko did and lived out in the stick somewhere and just lived in a place with no expectations it would teach her to be functional and humble but that doesn’t feel like azula to me, it feels like trying to imitate zuko’s arc, and it just feels weak to me. let azula go out like a badass psycho.

raphael santiago: I WATCHED ALL OF SHADOWHUNTERS JUST FOR HIM and i don’t regret one single second!!! i can’t believe they had a canon ace character where he actually Said It!!!!!!! every time i think about raphael my heart gets all mushy, even after all this time. i think they REALLY did him dirty in season 3 of shadowhunters but like nearly everyone got did dirty in season 3 of shadowhunters, so i guess i shouldn’t be surprised. i like to pretend he and izzy got back together. i guess simon can come too everybody has two hands or whatever but i never really understood the appeal of izzy/simon like JUSTBECAUSE IT WAS IN THE BOOKS?? simon/maia was 1000x better hello?? and i only barely get the appeal of raphael/simon. (i didn’t even like simon in season 1, sorry simon fans.) anyway he and izzy would have had to be so careful around each other and it would be so tender and Softe and full of mutual respect ugh kill me i miss raphael so much

FAVORITE CHARACTERS TAG GAME

Rules: List your favorite character from 10 Different Fandoms and tag 10 people

Thanks so much to my wife, @panickedpansexualprincess​ , for tagging me in a thing where I have to pick favorites when she knows I cannot pick favorites ever. (No rly, ty and ilu)

1. I think Kingsman is obligatory since I write in it all the time. Uh. Why I do this to myself. Gonna go with: Harry Hart

Just the stalk, the look. Quirk those lips just a little and my subbie ass would be in heaven.

2: Legend of Zelda: Zelda

Gimme p much any version of her, but this was the one that impacted me in my formative years. She fought, she sassed, she’d get captured and fight all through it and sometimes break free on her own. She was one of the first actively Fite Me princesses I’d been exposed to.

3: Star Wars: Han Solo

I kinda wanted to be him. /) S I G N S (\

4: Chrono Trigger: Ayla

Head of her tribe, not really a healer (she has one healing skill), the strongest physical character in the game.

5: Phantom of the Opera (musical Version: Madam Giry

And one of these days, I will actually write the AU where she’s actually the Phantom. Most of it is in my head, I just have to words it.

6: Witcher (Netflix version cos I’ve only read one of the books so far): Queen Calanthe

Jaskier and Geralt are the real top of the list, but I need them together for that. So I just skipped over them. 

I know Calanthe is a terrible person, but I love her anyway. I mean, look at her. Actual armor rather than fucking boob armor. She’s allowed to be a dirty, bloody mess and not be ladylike. This isn’t something we get with female characters normally.

AND LOOK AT THIS SHIT

Look at her breasts. The actress clearly has no modern bra on under it (something that... happens in period pieces if they’re not clearly in a corset) and the producers let her breasts just fall naturally. So much about her makes me so fucking happy.

And then there’s her character which, while an utter piece of shit, is still nuanced and not just a flat evil being.

7: Baldur’s Gate: Minsc (& Boo)

Look at this beautiful man and his loving look at his miniature giant space hamster. I tried doing an evil runthrough once, but because he and Edward/Edwina will not be in the same party (for long, maybe, or at all; idr which), I gave up. I need Minsc in my life.

8: Jurassic Park (Movie): the T-Rex

Queen. Absolute queen. The t-rex isn’t even my favorite dinosaur among the species, but she is my queen. She and Clever Girl are the best characters in that movie. You have no idea how happy I was to see her in Jurassic World (even if she looked a little wonky in some scenes because CGI).

(Have you noticed how many of these are strong and/or FIte Me Ladies? Cos I have)

9: Alien/s/^3 (I refuse Resurrection; the only things I like about it are: Ron Perlman and the fact that Wal*fuck bought out Weyland/Utani, thus making it far more evil than W/U): Leonard Dillon

His speeches, his staring down the xenomorph, “reducating some of the brothers”. Like. I just love him and I have watched movies just because Dutton was in them. His voice, maaaaaan. It is a tasty tasty voice and I could listen to it all day.

10: The Elder Scrolls: Sheogorath

How can you not love this crazy fucker? Cheese wheels for everyone!

I will tag @thenorsiest​ and @fandomjunkie2004​

[draphrawrites]

1 2 3 12 (and why!!!) 15 18 23 25 for the fic writing ask post

djdlgkjsaakj ELEGIES OMG ILU SO MUCH XDDD 

also tho: no mercy fo me, huh? pffff

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

Oh that’s tough. Geez.  They’re all such different genres??? Action, crack, romance, fluff??? AHHHH okay it’s probably A Pirate’s Life For Me (is that a shameless plug? why yes it is, ty for noticing pfff)

2. least favorite fic you wrote this year

ALSO TOUGH BECAUSE I LIKE ALL THE THINGS I WRITE??? DLKGSDJ Okay, I’m totally gonna loophole my way out of this and say my job application was my least fave thing i wrote this year pfffff (even if it landed me the job lmfao)

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

I feel like I’m being K.O.’d by each of these questions lmaooo.  Okay, okay, okay. UM. Let’s see there are so many omf my favorite overall scene is probably the Dabi vs. Endeavor scene from Lines Crossed.  Put a lot of hard work into that one and I think it paid off 💜 

12. favorite character to write about this year

alsdkgajkah another toughie.  It’s either Hawks or Dabi or Bakugou....  but I’m going with Dabi because I’ve written him the most.  

As to why, it’s because I love characters with multiple facets and layered backgrounds.  If the Dabi = Touya Todoroki theory is true, and he’s anything like fanon Touya, he will be one of the only characters I know of that went from being a prospective hero with a hard childhood to an outright villain who has the chance to go back. The complexity of that situation, the mystery of  what happened to him, the potential for redemption... god, that’s all such good fodder for my anti-hero/villain loving brain

15. something you learned this year

So the CTABB server went through an entire racingverse phase (some of us are still in it - high five moka), and I learned quite a bit about cars.  Also learned what a towing scheme was, about 2 days before I had to use that knowledge, lmao.  Thank u, racingverse dabihawks au fanfiction research - you saved me about $600.

18. current number of wips

hah, mine isn’t nearly as bad as star’s.  I have 18 current WIPS (like, one’s I’ve worked on in the past year)

23. fics you wanted to write but didn’t

One i haven’t gotten around to, but may still do, is one where Dabi rescues/adopts Eri (he’s the one she runs into while hauling ass away from Overhaul, instead of Deku and Mirio.  Dabi sees her cowering in fear while wrapped around his knees, and snaps.)  I just haven’t had the time RIP

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

HOW DO U CHOOSE OMG (gonna stick to bnha, because i’m frankly too scared to look at all the fics i have bookmarked and downloaded lmaO)

Ima recommend 5, because I’m contrary like that. 

Decision Height by @blueskiddoo (dabihawks, WIP slowburn, great characterization, fantastic pacing, epic action, beautifully written - a genuinely superb fic written by a genuinely superb human being who’s books i will 100% purchase as soon as the come available for pre-order)

Butterfly Effect by @bloodycarnations (dabihawks, WIP, slowburn - also freaking perfect characterization, amazing plot, lots of exploration into characters motivations and histories - truly would love to have it printed and sitting on my bookshelf tb, but not as much as much as i’d love to hug the shit out of thyandra)

Field Test by @kendrick-harlow (league-centric, dabi-centric - listen if i could have a fic turned into a movie, i’d want this to be it. fantastically written and somewhere between horror, found family, and absolute genius tie-in’s of the current bnha plot. lord have mercy i love this and all of kendrick’s fics)

Villain’s First Christmas by throwyourchaosinneutralanddrive (league-centric - found family league, extremely accurate characterization, hilarious, and literally the author i would vote to take over horikoshi’s job if anything ever happened to him - the amount of chaotic energy in these fics is thru the roof tbh, and i love the author like she’s my own flesh and blood (because she is, but that’s neither here nor there))

Hawks Needs to Stop Scaring the Shit Out of Shinsou, the Compilation by RadioMoth (Shinsou and Hawks-centric, hilariously written, criminally underrated, and with a friendship I’ve never seen before.  Def go check it out if you want to laugh and love on hawks and shinsou!)

(in all honesty tho, I’ve read SO MANY good fics this year, holy shit)

WHAT SHAPE DOES YOUR PAIN TAKE?

—— S E A you're drowning. a sea of emotions, responsibilities, people, things, everything. you just can't handle it all, you need to escape, but you can't. even talking to someone and being told it's okay, compliments, nice things people say, it all adds up to drown you further. guilt, for feeling this way when everyone's being nice and you're not enough. will you sink or swim?
