who here wants some modern AU strawhats?????

[smol-tired-binch-blog]

hate how im now at a point where im legit like kicking my legs and grinning like an idiot over fictional characters SEND HELP

[unforth]

Alright not to like liveblog my breakdown on main but yesterday was a really bad day after a really bad, like, 4 months, and I've hit a bit of a breaking point and one of the only things in my life that can give is running @mdzsartreblogs , @tgcfartreblogs , @svsssartreblogs , @erhaartreblogs , @tykartreblogs , and @cnovelartreblogs , so that is what has to give. It's been a 99-out-of-100 days thankless job. A small number of people do say thank you and yall I appreciate you so much (HUGE shout-out to the artist I met at Flamecon who gifted me a zine when I said I ran these blogs, @bonesblubs you rock) but I have never done an act of fandom labor simultaneously this labor intensive yet this invisible before and, uh. It sucks. I spend an hour or more a day on this every day, if it's under 2k hours since I started the first of these in September 2020 I'd be shocked. And I do it because I love it but doing it means I don't have time or energy to do other things I love. And I really don't want to just quit, but I can't keep this up.

In a last-ditch effort to try not to just give up, I'm making the following changes:

1. Only watching one tag per fandom for the MXTX fandoms. I am going to check *only* #tgcf, #svsss, and #mdzs. Artwork posted to any other tag, I will not see unless a mutual reblogs it.

2. Reduced tagging (even more). I'm only going to tag characters and maybe overarching au type (eg, "modern au," "fantasy au"). I'll no longer tag creatures. I will continue to tag the same common trigger warnings I already tag.

3. If a work's appearance doesn't make it obvious what it is AND the tags aren't clear, I'm not going to reblog. I can't keep spending 5 minutes or more trying to figure out what I'm even looking at, scared that if I guess wrong the artist will get mad at me for mistagging their work. If I do reblog, I'll tag only the artist name and/or whatever else I can identify for sure.

4. I am no longer going to follow #link click. The fandom is just too big. I've started dreading checking it. If I was more into it and less busy I would make another spin off just for it but neither of those is true. (The art is so good, I hate to do this, but. If you love link click, highly recommend the main tag, lots of great stuff there.)

5. I will no longer tag any non-cnovel content in the art/post. Like, if someone draws, idek, Xie Lian and Marinette from Ladybug, I'm not gonna put any tags for Marinette, just for Xie Lian.

6. Basically if I run into something hard to tag or confusing or unclear, my new policy is I'm not gonna fricken bother.

I think those are everything but idefk, I cried for 3 hours last night and got 4 hours of sleep so I'm mostly fueled by exhaustion and desperation right now and my memory is even more fried than usual.

How artists can help. This is obviously all optional. You do you. But since some people might want to know what would make my life easier, I'm sharing. I'm not claiming I feel entitled to dictate how people fandom or anything like that.

1. Put the tags for the character(s) and ship(s) early in the tag list.

2. If you make art for a fandom that isn't one of the big ones (right now the only big danmei fandoms on tumblr as far as I can tell are the MXTX fandoms and maybe 2ha) I am begging you to use my tracked tag #cnovelartreblogs

3. Do mdzs art? Tag #mdzs. Do tgcf art? Tag #tgcf. Do svsss art? Tag #svsss.

4. Not only artists, but everyone, *please* stop tagging fandoms not discussed and/or depicted in your post. It's gotten to be stupid common for people to blanket the danmei fandom tags with posts only about one fandon (like, svsss-only works also being tagged mdzs and tgcf and 2ha for some damn reason). This isn't about just my sideblogs tbh this is just fandom etiquette that seems to have been forgotten or never learned by many. Tagging unrelated fandoms isn't "reach," it's annoying. People go into the #mdzs tag to see mdzs, not whatever not-mdzs stuff people have decided to tag for ~reach~, and seeing the same post in 8 tags, none of which it's related to, is so damn irritating, and makes scrolling the tags looking for content that IS relevant take that much longer. Knock it off.

Okay. I think that's as much as I'm prepared to meltdown where everyone can see. Thanks in advance everyone for your understanding, and apologies to everyone about to see this 8 times as I reblog it to each sideblog.

At least I'm not tagging it to everywhere. 🤣🤣🤣

Pieces Part 3

Pairing: Azriel x Reader

Summary: the aftermath of the break up has different effects on both, Azriel and Reader.

A/N: yall I'm sick🥲 the updates might be late but I'll try to post as much as possible. Hope you like this one!

Pieces Masterlist

○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

It's been one month.

One month of Healing.

When azriel left, I told myself that I will not contact him until I'm ready. Doesn't matter how much I'm missing him or wanting him. I will not talk to him until I know I won't take him back the second I see him again.

I gave myself two days. Two days to sulk all I wanted. I spent the whole time crying and feeling miserable about myself. Before Az left at least, I wasn't by myself. At least I saw him once a day.

Now? Nothing.

I am totally alone. His absence hit me Hard. Everything I saw, almost brought me to my knees.

The kitchen where we would make dinner together, laughing and joking with each other that many times ended with us covered in flour and syrup.

The couch where we would sit cuddling and talking until we fell asleep, always waking up with strained muscles.

His office where he would sit on his chair in front of his desk, writing out reports and whatnot while I sit in his armchair reading my book. Just enjoying each others company and occasionally taking breaks to make out on the very deck, and then some.

After those dreadful days though, I called Feyre and Mor and had a very much needed girls night. We took out a wine bottle and I spilled everything to them. My mind was too drunk to think my feelings about Elain might offend Feyre but she genuinely felt sad for me and embarrassed about her sister. The poor girl even apologised to my about Elain's behavior to which I immediately told her it wasn't her fault.

When I told them how lonely it got being alone in a big house like this, they suggested maybe I should get a job or something to keep my mind distracted and promised that they'll visit me often. So I did juat that.

I found a part time job at a local library. I have to admit, I'm really enjoying it. I'm the second assistant to the sweetest lady, Hilda, who owns the shop. I don't do much, just help her in small things like adjusting books on self or helping in shipping books out or in. Layla, the first assistant, handles most of the work around the shop. My job is basically doing what she asks of me. The salary isn't much but I don't care because it's never been about money.

The first week was very hard. Everyday after I came home, the silence felt like a slap on the face, reminding me of everything I lost.

But, slowly, I became comfortable with it. Now it's doesn't hurt me as it did before.

There were many times when I think of Azriel, tears filled my eyes, but I never let them free. I sucked them in and did anything else that didn't made me cry, like taking baths, baking my favorite chocolate brownies, reading in front of the fire place while drinking hot coco or calling my friends to take me shopping.

And as time went. I started to heal. I started to feel good, happier with myself. And without even realizing it, I started to love myself.

-☆-

Azriel

It's been one month.

One month of regretting everything I did to my mate.

I've spent my whole month sulking in this room, crying and regretting everytime I chose Elain over my wife. I haven't slept at all since I came here, just enough to keep me functioning. My appetite is gone. I don't eat unless Rhys come and force feeds me like I'm some baby.

I told Rhysand and Cassian everything the first morning i stayed here. Which earned me a flick to head by Cassian and a very disappointed look from Rhys. Even though they didn't give me any scolding(which I very much deserved), the flick and expression said enough.

Rhys has refrained me of any work, handling it himself or having someone else do it. While I have been sitting around here and hating myself. It seems like even my mind has declared itself an enemy, showing me memories of everytime I dismissed Y/N and hurt her in any way at most random times, cutting a deeper cut in my heart everytime.

"Hey Az, I was thinking if we could go out for dinner tonight? There is this new amazing restaurant I saw while walking near Sidra. I really want to try it." She told me as I put on my coat, ready to go.

"I can't, I have a mission for today. Rhys told me it's important so I can't skip. We'll go some other time. Okay?"

"Ok."

I could hear the excitement in her voice when she asked me and the hurt when I rejected her and promised to go another time. The time never came. She never asked again. And I never noticed.

"Az, are you awake?" She whispers in the dead of night. Both of us sleeping on the bed. My back to her, hoping to fall asleep quickly because I have early training tomorrow.

Cassian is spending time with Nesta more, so Rhys has told me to go to an illyrian camp to check how things are going. I have to wake and go there early to catch them off guard to see what's truly going on.

I can't do that if Y/N doesn't let me sleep.

I didn't answer her that night, hoping if i dont respond, she'll think im asleep and doesnt call me again. She really didnt call me again. I prioritized my sleep over her. Her voice sounded so small. She needed me. And I didn't care.

"So, I saw a really cute baby in garden today and..." I drone out her babbling and try to quickly I can get out of here, I promised Elain to help in her garden today. She'll be disappointed if I show up late.

"Az? You're listening to me right?" She suddenly questions, I clear my throat and answer a small, of course, she nods and takes a deep breath, not saying anything anymore. I sign in relief of the silence.

I put my head in my hands and tug hard on my hair, wanting to feel hurt, hurt the kind that she clearly felt and I didn't care.

I hate myself more and more as memories flash through my mind. I can't even cry at this point. I wished she'd hit me when we fought. Slaped and paunched some sense into me. I don't blame her at all for not talking to me. Gods, I wouldn't even blame her if she left me. I deserve it.

How do I fix this?

Jason Todd Head canon 1#

I’m bored at work so I’m giving yall silly headcannons to make y’all smile. This is very crack! Headcanon vibes because I’m manic as well right now. But, I love my toxic zombie boy.

Redhood! Jason Todd X Batgirl! Reader

If they had became vigilante’s together, they would definitely reconnect after Jason starts to forgive the BatFam.

Would definitely always pair up with her just so they can cause some mischief during patrols.

Definitely play up the flirting in-front of civilians and would definitely encourage shipping just to annoy Bruce.

Would ditch galas to do riding around.

You two basically just resume your friendship until one night, you both got drunk after hanging out at Roy’s and yall wake up the next day with a broken bed and tattoos on y’all’s hips.

If You became batgirl after Jason’s death, God bless you

Jason would be hard on you with the intimidating and dickish act for a long ass time.

He wasn’t as bad as he was with the others because he understands that you weren’t involved with his death and you weren’t a replacement for him as much as you were Oracle’s.

When the moody stage finally passes and he realizes that you won’t put up with his tantrums, he will try a new approach.

Red hood becomes known as a menace to Batgirl in the media.

Whether it be he would somehow end up saving Batgirl while being a snarky ass hole or do behaviors that would cause her blushing face to be on the covers of tabloids.

At the manor, the pair bicker almost as much as they bonded over common interests.

Now the arguments revolve around those interests even if half of them started because of joke either one of them started.

“Bridgerton is just a horny girl’s excuse to not read Jane Austen” “Take that shit back right now!” “Make me.”

When the feelings actually start to develop, the bickering and the flirtation gets so bad that they become the most shipped ‘enemies to lovers’ ship among the tabloids and Gotham’s youth.

Finally, tension boils over when an incident happens where Batgirl was almost killed by a major villain.

Oh shit, Red Hood was not very happy to find out that Batgirl was currently in a hospital bed after a failed recon mission.

He went head hunting after that 🫢 Not that kind of head.

After that, Jason became unbearably protective of her. Volunteering to be on patrol with her, driving her to appointments, stalking her , breaking in coming over to her room/apartment to hang out.

It all boiled over after a heated and trauma dumping confrontation between the two where the neighbors/residents of the manor heard screaming, yelling, maybe a broken vase, and some creaming.

Red Hood! Jason Todd X Civilian! Reader

Ngl y’all, Jason dating a civilian would probably be a little toxic.

He’s either gonna date someone so fucking sweet that it fuels his need to be a protector and act as a balm to his failure complex.

Or he’s gonna date someone as fucked up as him so he feels some form of trauma bond with them.

He probably would spot eyes with them in a busy setting and because he’s very good at reading people, he would immediately start his stalking because he wanted to know if he can trust them before building a relationship with them.

Would probably never approach them as the Red Hood before meeting as Jason Todd unless it was a situation where he had to step in.

Secret lover boy with self sabotaging tendencies.

He would stage their first meeting as a form of meet-cute scenario. Most likely on the street or a bookstore.

Would play the long game of meeting by ‘chances’ and casual little conversations.

Has a weird prey/predator mentality where he wants them to give him their number first or ask him out first but he’s the one actually pursuing them.

If they started dating, he would treat things very slowly or very casually depending on which type they are.

If it’s the sweet one, he’ll play it slow and gentlemanly, like the romance movie lead.

He wouldn’t want intimacy or pressure anything like that even if he constantly thinks about it.

Maybe a little less toxic but more manipulative.

“Oh baby, there’s been a ton of robberies around that area. Let’s just go riding then we can go see that movie you been talking about.”

“Sweetheart, I love how precious you are, but I’m really busy right now. How about I swing by after work with some treats I already had picked out for you.”

His true nature would come out eventually. His vulnerability would show more, but by then his sweet little partner would be so loving and understanding.

They would comfort his nightmares and rub his aching muscles.

It would be 1.5 to 2 years into dating before he would reveal he’s Red Hood.

The fucked up one is getting toxic Jason.

This pairing probably met at a bar/party, and their relationship started out as a casual friends with benefits.

The two would become closer faster than he would with a sweet one, but oh my god, y’all fight for your lives.

Arguments are usually loud and heard throughout the apartment building before they would either screw iy out or have to separate.

Jason would eventually return with either dinner or a gift to apologize. He learnt that from his daddy Brucie.

Unless that man is down bad, in love, he ain’t telling y’all anything.

Anytime he gets asked about where he’s going to at night,

“It’s none of your business.”

“Work, don’t worry I’ll tell her you asked.”

“You know I’m busy.”

Don’t worry, the longer you two stay together, he sweeter he becomes.

Our toxic king will get better and less toxic.

It takes him to the moment he realizes that you really aren’t gonna leave him and that you love his fucked up ass, for him to tell you he’s the Red Hood.

+++++++++++

AN: That’s all I got for right now. Let me know if you want an Arkham Knight version or if I need to calm down with our Toxic King.

+++++++++++

When they have a crush on you

«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»

▸ Characters; Law, Kidd, Luffy

▸ Warnings; GN reader

▸ a/n; my first OP work !!!! im still trying to grasp how to write for them but !!! i hope you all enjoy :] (psst- requests are open!)

«─────────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───────────»

-> LAW

▸ Law refuses to show any emotional vulnerability. So when he realizes that YOU are the one making his emotions go absolutely haywire- its not a good scene.

▸ He cares about you so much. He doesnt form attachments easily, so when he does prepare for him to never let go.

▸ He starts to avoid you. Like, you cannot find him on the polar tang type of avoiding. He's afraid to put you in serious danger, he's wanted by the world covernment, has billions of beri on his head- he couldn't stand to put you in more danger.

▸ Law SAYS he is perfectly content with holding these feelings in until he dies. He is lying. At some point his frustration comes to a head and he just , corners you in the sub after not speaking to you for THREE WEEKS and word vomits all his emotions out while looking like a tomato.

▸ If you accept law is . surprisingly elated. This commitment doesn't feel heavy or scary like he imagined. He's not the biggest fan of PDA but he ABSOLUTELY links pinkies with you when walking around. (bepo, shaichi, and penguin are yall's biggest fans ever. they SO hide in the bushes during the first date and get discovered 😭)

▸ If you reject law .. he'll retreat back into his shell. He was open with you, and now he probably wont be. ever again. Really awkward interactions ensue.

-> KIDD

▸ He's so oblivious to his own emotions !!!!!! He's so mean to you all the time but he's killing anyone who lays a hand on you. He feels nauseous and feverish and embarrassed whenever he's around you but he's anxious and jittery when you're NOT around!

▸ He gets sooo jealous too. you could be like, sitting next to someone and he'll be breaking a tankard in his fist 😭.

▸ HE TRIES SO HARD TO IMPRESS YOU!!! He's smashing someone's face in extra flashily when you look his way. Carrying super heavy objects when youre in his vicinity. showing you all his latest inventions. He's almost like a really aggressive, abrasive puppy waiting on you to praise him.

▸ He probably blurts out all of his feelings when you sit just a little too close after one too many beers. He's raging at you for "making my head all spinny" and "making me feel like im gonna vomit glitter" while Heat and Wire are cackling in the background. Killer has his head in his hands while Kidd continues his drunken rant.

▸ If you somehow manage to wrangle him back to the ship and accept his confession, you will have a clingy, kissy kidd to deal with. He will not let you go. Your post-confession gift is a cranky, hungover kidd.

▸ If you reject him ... Kidd practically explodes. Not at you, but everyone who pisses him off is getting chewed out 10x as bad. He's hurt, and he needs time to tend his wounds. Your friendship will never be the same, but he won't make your life a living hell.

-> LUFFY

▸ Luffy is straightforward, honest, and determined. If he likes you, he'll say it loud and clear. He doesn't exactly know the line between romantic and platonic feelings, so it'll take someone like robin or sanji to clear that up for him.

▸ He is also very physically affectionate. Where you go, luffy goes. You have to practically beg to go to the bathroom alone. Skinny, Tall, Short, Chubby; luffy loves it all! He gomu-gomu no cuddles you constantly.

▸ He doesn't really get jealous. He trusts you! And he knows youre great, so obviously everyone would want to spend time with you! Just make sure he's in your top priorities.

▸ Luffy's confession is in everything he does. He never steals from your plate unless he's given permission, always makes sure you get the best cuts of meat / best quality veggies. He may just suddenly hold you and kiss you if hes in the mood. Luffy is probably on the aro/ace spectrum, so your relationship may be on the platonic spectrum some days + the romantic spectrum some days.

▸ If you turn down all of Luffy's advances, hes naturally a little let down. He won't stop caring about you, but he'll attempt (key word; attempt) to give you space and not be so affectionate. (how could you possibly turn this boy down >:[)

[cal-writes]

little winter gift for yall from my drafts. just me making connections during my reread that basically boils down to “it’s not that deep - but what if it was”

usopp and zoro bonding post thriller bark, enjoy

Usopp’s not usually the one roaming the ship at night unless he has guard duty, which isn’t often. It’s an unspoken rule aboard that Zoro has the night shift barring extenuating circumstances.

Well. These were extenuating circumstances. Zoro hadn’t even protested when the topic had come up over dinner, had only drunk from his cup until someone else had volunteered and Chopper had chided him for drinking alcohol while his injuries were still so fresh.

The cold night air drives a shiver up Usopp’s spine as he makes his round on deck. When he looks behind them he imagines that he can still see the faintest sliver of Thriller Bark, slowly sinking below the horizon. The memory of that place makes him shiver twice over. He rubs his hands together to fight off the chill, tries not to be reminded of doing the same motion to scrub Zoro’s blood off his hands only a few days ago. It shouldn’t shake him like this, he’s seen Zoro bleed hundreds of times, has incompetently helped Chopper throw useless bandages on him an equal amount. And yet.

Usopp shakes his head, slaps his cheeks and makes his way up the crow's nest. He still has hours on duty. Hours of nothing to distract him from his thoughts he realizes as he climbs the rope ladder. Sanji’s words keep repeating themselves in his head. “He said nothing happened.” Sanji had said, straining under Zoro’s weight.

He hadn’t connected the dots then. Usopp had been a little preoccupied with everything else, like their bleeding first mate, or Luffy’s miraculous recovery, or Kuma’s disappearance, or Lola and her crew. Only once their celebration had died down and his mind slicked by liquor had Usopp thought briefly.

Had Zoro done the same as Usopp had back in Sirup Town?

Not the exact same, obviously. But the words had been so similar to what Usopp had told Kaya, what he had made her promise, he couldn’t help but be reminded. And once he had thought about it it wouldn’t let him go. It was ridiculous of course. There was nothing unique about the expression. People said it all the time. Despite Usopp’s great fame, he had no claim to the sentence.

But it wouldn’t let him go.

The crow’s nest greets him with a muggy warmth, still toasty from being exposed to the sun all day as he emerges from below and climbs inside. The ocean past the window is calm and vast, a sea of ink black and Thriller Bark long gone.

He’s also not alone. Usopp is proud that his startle response is to freeze, an invaluable quality of a sniper! His heart still hammers nails against his chest when he notices the slumped figure out of the corner of his eye and the immediate response is quickly superseded by his flight instinct that makes him jump into the air. “Zoro! You scared me!” He yelps, recognizing the supposed intruder. Usopp clears his throat, adjust his googles on his forehead. “You’re lucky, I almost shot you.” He laughs weakly and blows out a breath, heartbeat still drumming.

Zoro briefly glances up but otherwise doesn’t move. If not for the twitch of his head, Usopp would have thought him to be sleeping at first. As he comes closer, Zoro looks wrong.

He’s sitting with his back against the wall, legs pulled up instead of the usual fold, both elbows resting on his knees, hands laced together. Zoro nods in greeting and then lets his head fall between his arms again. His shoulders are tense, the muscles in his neck straining. Usopp hesitates when he sees Zoro’s swords missing. He looks around the crow’s nest. Surely they wouldn’t be far. But no, Zoro’s alone.

He’s shaking.

Usopp clears his throat and sits down next to Zoro, spreading his legs out in front of him. “Didn’t want to miss out on guard duty, huh?” He asks with a weak laugh before stifling it. The mere attempt to lift the mood makes him feel awkward. Zoro doesn’t react which is both good and bad.

Mostly Usopp feels completely out of his depth. He’s never seen Zoro like this. Then again, before two days ago he’s never believed Zoro might die. Sure Zoro got hurt all the time, walked around with injuries that would have surely killed Usopp himself, but deep down, Usopp had always believed that Zoro would just walk away from every fight. The closest he had seen him come to death had been Mihawk and even then, Zoro had just raised his sword and vowed to never lose again. Usopp wonders if he had broken that vow on Thriller Bark.

He sighs, pulls his own knees up and wraps his arms around them. “Bad night?” He asks quietly.

Zoro’s breath leaves him in a shudder. “You could say that.” He says after a pause, his voice still cracks. It has been hoarse since he woke up. As if he had strained it screaming.

“No need to worry. Captain Usopp’s got you.” He tells him, putting a cautious arm around Zoro’s shoulders. Half expects the other man to pull away. He doesn’t. Zoro just sits with Usopp’s weight on him. Usopp can feel his breathing tremble and his shoulders relax, ever so slightly. Little by little. Usopp keeps his eyes out on the sea. “You can rest.” He says with as much conviction as he’s possible to impart. It’s probably not much to someone like Zoro who can cut steel in half like its bread and carry six of them on his back without breaking a sweat. Usopp is just a dude with a slingshot and some pepper in his bag who couldn’t even get a grain of salt.

Zoro lifts his head, looks out into the ocean with him through weary eyes. Exhales, firmly this time. “I know.” Zoro smirks faintly. He crosses his arms over his knees and closes his eyes. “You mind?” He asks and Usopp isn’t quite sure what he means but he salutes anyway. Doesn’t know why he does that either.

“Never.” Usopp gives him a very many side hug before he stands, shedding his jacket to drape it over Zoro’s shoulders. “I’ll wake you up when my shift’s done.” He tells him. Doesn’t look back at Zoro but hears him pull the coat over him like a blanket.

“Got it.” Zoro says and Usopp blinks to clear the dust from his eyes so he can see the ocean clearly.

#edward teach#im an adhd ed truther & this is so fucking true.#also shows how you view people w/ adhd if you’re specifically using it as an excuse to do this. (via @ourflagmeanscatboy on this post by @jaskierx)

I don't want to derail a post about racism, but I do feel like this shit needs to get talked about.

Because people will say literally the most deranged shit about Ed. I've heard the idea that he's gonna lose interest in Stede because he views people as hyperfixations floated. He's volitile and unstable (citation needed) he's messy (but he thinks pets befoul the ship and he couldn't believe he was living like this after letting Stede's cabin get covered in maybe a weeks worth of depression clutter) he needs a minder (despite constantly minding other characters). And all of that shit when pointed out as racist invariably gets explained away with "but I think he has ADHD"

And it's like, first of all that's a headcannon you have, where as his race is very much cannon. so I think even if you have the adhd headcannon, which to be clear, I do, you still need to lend more credence to the marginalized identities that are in fact cannon about him. That's not to say that these two things are contradictory it's just to say that you need to treat your headcannons about a character of color with awareness for how their race overlaps with other identities they might have and how their race might be impacting their behavior, and how projecting issues onto them, even if those issues are things you yourself struggle with, might be perceived by fans of color who are already constantly fielding racism both in fandom and in their every day lives.

but second of all, and I cannot stress this enough, yall are ableist as fuck.

Like, I simply do not know how to explain to you people that Ed losing Interest in Stede like that would not be a symptom of ADHD because treating PEOPLE like HYPERFIXATIONS is not a symptom of ADHD. If someone loses interest in you because they have adhd, and I feel like I've said this before, one of three things happened. A. they did not lose interest in you they are just forgetful and do not experience friendship decay so they think you are still friends, B. You were never a friend to begin with you were someone they exclusively did their hyperfixations with, or C. you are blaming the ADHD for something completely unrelated friendships fall apart all the time.

And it's like that example is just the most egregious. half the time when I see ADHD headcannons nobody's talking about like... Ed picking up a brand new activity on a whim, or him tattooing himself because he's experiencing the evil boredom. It's all gotta be traits contradicted by canon. And often it has to be about pain and suffering, and often it really just feels like an excuse to make up bullshit about Ed while beating the racism allegations.

and there's two enormous issues with this. The first one is that if you're gonna have a headcannon about a character you have to figure out how to apply the headcanon to that character without making up a brand new guy. Ed is in the 99th percentile in terms of executive function. His executive functioning skills are genuinely a strength for him. He can't stand mess and he keeps a clean ship, he doesn't get angry unless directly provoked. He also has a large number of shitty tattoos on his person, he stims, he's probably got some hyperactivity going on, and some emotional dis-regulation in terms of managing his disappointment and catastrophising. You have to actually look at the character and figure out what cannon things translate into ADHD and what adhd traits are contradicted by cannon and if you're just hollowing him out and putting an ablist idea of ADHD in as a stand in for a personality.

Like.. ok. My favoriate cannon ADHD rep in the world is the Percy Jackson series. Every one of those kids has adhd and dyslexia. This does not stop Annabeth from being a very functional character with a million irons in the fire who's an avid reader and a Smart Girl TM. Percy by contrast cannot focus for five seconds especially when you put a book in front of him, but he can think on his feet really well. Both of these characters are fairly realistic representations of ADHD because sometimes ADHD is severe executive dysfunction and mess and emotional dis-regulation, sometimes ADHD is having a million projects going at once in a desperate attempt to beat the evil boredom and sometimes it's being able to pick up new things with relative ease. Different people have different levels of these things, which is why in my favoriate childhood book series Rick Riordan was able to have so many different diverse characters with distinct personalities and have them all believably have ADHD.

But a lot of people who headcannon Ed as ADHD don't seem to be interested in figuring out how Ed's personality is compatible with that headcannon, they just want to hollow him out and give him every symptom ever and it's just like... oh, so that's what you think of us then. got it cool.

Is okay if i ask some questions about ptm? Im just a little curious so dont worry about responding to me :D

I’m not sure if it was implied or directly stated in ptm (in which case I’ll gladly reread) but is yuu still the recordkeeper? Or did Crowley find someone else to record events?

Are they gonna be any more couples beside jade and yuu and floyd and riddle?(if so what’s the ship name? because the one for riddle and floyd, florid, looks similar to Florida which makes me giggle a little)

Did ortho graduate alongside idia? He’s not mentioned with the other first years

Anyways that all i have and i just want to say the ptm has been amazing and hilarious to read and it made me pick up reading fanfics again. I’m really happy to be one of your anons! I’m a bit shy whenever it comes to sending in an ask but I’m always thankful that you’re always kind and have such a fun energy! I’m excited for the upcoming chapters and what other works you have :D (no pressure tho take your time writing and take care of yourself <3)

-🪸 anon

Hi dear, I'm just getting to your ask now!

Yuu is no longer the official record keeper, though they still have the ghost camera and are prone to taking pictures. Record keeping becomes one of Ramshackle's official duties, and each of the freshman are responsible for holding the camera and recording events for their week.

There are, it was implied who in the very first chapter! They'll be more background compared to Floyd and Riddle, but they'll come up!

Ortho is not a first year, he's in a similar situation as Grim where he's part of another student. From what I'm aware, Ortho has always attended classes as part of Idia's curriculum. That doesn't mean he's gone tho!

And thank you! I'm glad my vibes are fun and that you're enjoying my writing! It will probably still be slow going unless I get a sudden burst of energy and can finish 10 chapters in a few weeks (not likely) so I hope to have yalls support!

I know yall probably know about poverty and generational poverty and what not but I just want to vent….

Because like… the things people don’t like know about generational poverty unless they’re experiencing it is just how… trapped you feel… weighed down by absolutely everything.

See I honestly think something may be up with our gas line

Which is a terrifying thought.

Now, idk if it’s a leak per se (though we’ve got the windows cracked just in case) but if we turn on our stove the gas smell is really strong, the flame flairs out of the sides of the stove, etc.

Shit that shouldn’t be happening.

Shit that is really fucking dangerous.

We know this is dangerous, we’re not stupid.

We know we should get it fixed.

But here’s the thing, okay?

The floors are just base boards, they’re falling in and there’s holes everywhere.

There’s rats that we’ve tried every trick in the book to get rid of, short of hiring an exterminator. We’ve borrowed traps, had traps “gifted” to us, tried poisons that friends and family have bought for us, etc. It cuts them down but they come back.

All of our food is in thick sealed plastic containers and yet they’ve eaten some of the containers open. They even ate our soap and makeup and cleaning supplies and that didn’t seem to stop them. (Our soap and cleaning supplies are now in plastic containers too but idk how long it will deter them, and the makeup is thrown away)

We have shoddy wiring in the house, done by my own grandpa back in the 70’s when they first bought this place.

Our roof has cracks in it that have failing patches, done by a family friend.

Our AC doesn’t exactly work very well and it’s been reaching 100°F weather (with 70% humidity no less) and to fix it we’d need $10k at least, but we’d also need new flooring, so it would likely be more than that…

Etc.

And like, it’s not that the house is dirty, but that it’s falling apart.

And here’s the deal… calling someone who knows what’s what about houses to check the stove means calling someone who is going to inspect the whole house, someone who’s going to say:

“hey uh, your gas is messed up and your electricity is messed up and so’s your plumbing… Your floors are bad… we have to condemn this house and if you can’t pay to fix it up then you’re going to lose it.”

And it’s not like we got this house and destroyed it by a lack of maintenance, this house is like, 50+ years old, and has been my home since I was born.

My grandma and I couldn’t take care of everything because my grandpa had Alzheimer’s and he was going downhill and it was me and her caring for him.

My health is really bad and I can’t work a regular day job because of it, but I haven’t been able to hire a lawyer to apply for disability, so we’re living off one income and whatever side gigs I can do from time to time.

We don’t have the money to pay the mortgage, buy groceries, pay the home insurance, the gas bill, pay medical bills, buy pet food, etc and also then pay for our house to be inspected and potentially condemned for things I didn’t even do in the first place, things that came before I inherited this house…

My whole family has been poor my whole life, from my great great grandparents to my parents, etc.

It was always “you don’t pay for a professional to fix it, you either fix it yourself or get a family member or a friend of a friend to fix it”

Which means that if we ask a building inspector to tell us what’s wrong with the house… well… it’s going to probably be everything. Because this house has never been “professionally” fixed, it’s only ever had family members and friends of family members slap duct tape over glaring issues and say they’ll only charge you a glass of sweet tea.

Which means it’ll probably cost nearly the entire value of the house to fix tbh.

I just feel like I’m on a ship that’s sinking and way more water is coming in than I could ever manage to get out. I keep trying to patch the leaks but the materials just not available, and besides, if I stop bailing out the water for even a second to go and try and patch the leak, I’ll go fully underwater.

And you know, it’s not fair. It’s not right that it’s like this. This is our home and we love it. This has been my home for years and we love this house, this land, the trees and plants that grow, everything here is loved. It’s cared for. We try to take pride in it.

But you wouldn’t know that because we’re too busy trying to bail out that sinking ship. We’re too busy from constantly working and cleaning and repairing.

It’s not okay that it’s set up that way. We need help, we need community. We should be able to call someone and be like “Hey, we love this house, we’ve never been late on a payment, we’ve worked our butts off to try and keep things going, but we need help. Can you look at everything this house needs to function and be in good condition and help us get those things?”

Like, hell a payment plan option would work, wouldn’t it? Why isn’t that the done thing?

I mean, I know why, the more houses that are taken from the poor means the more real estate that’s available for the rich, they’re already trying to make our whole neighbourhood into some corporate venture instead of a residential area. And besides, if they manage to make us homeless they’d be just as happy throwing us in jail for the “crime” of being homeless and poor and making money off free labour.

Like that’s why it’s normal practice not to help anyone keep their home when they actually have a home. The system is set up for you to fail unless your family is at least moderately wealthy.

It’s just such an unforgiving cycle. And I know I’m beating a dead horse with this vent. I know that like over half of America’s population is likely in the same shitty place we’re in.

It’s just… I’m so tired of being in cycles like these.

I’m too sick to work, too poor to afford to get on disability, and both too poor and too exhausted to go to the doctor to get proper treatment, and it’s just a loop.

I’m too exhausted to fix the house, too busy cleaning the house to rest, too exhausted to make money to have professionals help fix the house, rinse and repeat.

The house breaking down is very likely making me more sick, but I’m too sick to be able to get the house fixed.

My grandparents didn’t have money to fix the house, my parents don’t have money to fix theirs, I don’t have money to fix my house.

Every step forward is like ten steps backwards and I genuinely don’t know what the solution to all of this is.

I feel so fucking trapped. I don’t even have the energy to run a gofundme for myself to try and get the help we need, because it takes so so much to to actually get a gofundme up and off the ground, I have tried before and it’s always been a failure because I just literally never have enough energy for it.

We have so many things we’d love to do. We’d love to make this house into an eco-friendly, sustainable home, with solar panels and a huge garden. We want to make a farm stand with fresh eggs and vegetables and fruit and let it operate on an honour system, so anyone who needs food can take what they need and pay what they can, yes even if it’s $0. I want to crochet hats and mittens and set those out too, for sale or just for those who need them…

We want so badly to take care of our community… but it feels like our community isn’t there to support us, not because people don’t want to support one another but because we’re all trapped or are being prevented from supporting one another.

Because having a farm-stand means you need to buy business licenses… building a sustainable home means you need to buy a building permit.

Every step of the way feels like good intentions are wasted, road-blocked.

I can’t even begin to explain how many jobs I’ve applied to, writing, editing, working as a cook or a waiter, data entry, etc.

In school they told me I’d be able to do anything I wanted to. I was a “gifted” straight A student and as I’m sure many people on this site know, that’s not bragging. It’s the opposite. The school system, the system that is supposed to help me be successful in life, told me I would be, and now I would be lucky to make $7.25/an hour while living in a place where the minimum liveable wage is $35/an hour.

It costs $35 an hour for one person to live moderately comfortably in my town. And this isn’t an arbitrary number, it’s literally on our county’s government ran poverty assessment website.

And that’s not a thriving wage it’s a surviving wage. It’s Home, Food, Utilities, Transportation & Clothes.

It leaves no room for medical care, comfort, entertainment, etc.

So what the hell are those of us who are working for anything less than that, or those of us unable to work, supposed to do?!

And like I said, I know I’m preaching to a choir rn, I know everyone is experiencing some version of this. I just… I need to be able to express it from time to time. To talk about how unfair and ridiculous and needlessly cruel this is.

It’s so deeply flawed and evil that we’re unable to have legitimate health concerns inspected because we’re worried about the house being taken away from us.

It’s trash. It’s inhumane.

And if anyone has any like… suggestions or advice that would be great… I’m considering just having our gas service canceled by our gas company and buying a small electric grill instead… but our gas also powers our hot water heater so…

:/

hey yall i was talking to a friend about certain ship dynamics in the series and after the video i posted a few days ago and some of the responses ive got (not particularly bad responses, just interesting thought provoking ones), i wanted to talk about it here too.

there’s a reason there’s a lot of ships i like and don’t like, and i’ve had it pointed out to me that it’s actually bc there’s a power imbalance. see, for example, drake and caine work as a relationship bc they’re both as fucked up and awful as each other and it balances out, but putting drake w people like diana or astrid or sam, people he’s personally victimised and tormented who’ve struggled to fight back, it adds a power imbalance that leaves the relationship being nothing but toxic and abusive unless you take creative fanon liberty and physically change the characters entirely.

it’s also why i don’t particularly like quinn and lana. at the point in the series when they’re together, lana seems to be at her lowest mentally and i wouldn’t say it’s unlikely that she took that out on him. i mean, she pulled a gun on the guy. lana’s the kind of person who’s fierce and opinionated. she’s someone who won’t take people’s shit. quinn’s the kind of guy who does. he’s someone who won’t stand up for himself and call her out on her behaviour, preferring to stay quiet in order to keep the peace. this is where it becomes toxic. it’s exactly why lana and sanjit DO work, bc sanjit refuses to allow her to pull something like that on him, while also forcing her to confront her demons in a healthy way and helps her heal from them, which is something quinn would never have been able to do. he’s simply not strong enough. lana’s too strong for him. too overpowering. it’s a game of the mouse and the lion.

alternatively, this is why i enjoy the (partly hypothetical) dynamic between quinn and caine and it’s why it’s one of my favourite ships in the series. at the point of their forced proximity, caine is at a much lower state than he was when he and quinn first met, having lost a lot by then and almost walking on eggshells. early fayz caine was far too cocky and arrogant but i think by fear he’s toned it down quite a lot. he’s still a prick, but he’s slightly less of a prick. he’s a prick who understands loss. in the first book, he hadn’t experienced that yet, and it’s what ultimately led to his downfall. he was too confident. meanwhile, early fayz quinn as previously mentioned was cowardly and wouldn’t stand up for himself, whereas late fayz quinn does exactly that w the penny plot. caine previously had something he could and did hold over quinn, but by the end it’s turned entirely on its head and it’s quinn who can hold something over caine. this doesn’t leave them overly unbalanced however, bc it simply knocks caine down to his level. it wouldn’t have worked in the first book bc they were both wildly different people in wildly different positions, but by the end of the series they’ve grown significantly, as well as their importance to the town, but can also still learn things from each other, like caine chilling the fuck out and perhaps not being a shit person, while quinn learns how to stand his ground and be stronger. it’s balanced. i think that’s the foundation any relationship needs, and in the series there’s a lot of ships that simply don’t have that.

a ship can have an interesting dynamic and still not realistically work. if there’s no balance, everything falls apart.

[selfship-confession-box]

am i witnessing the third instance of a selfshipper trying to harass or scare others in a respective fandom out of shipping with whoever it is they ship with? mayhaps,

am i trying really hard to stand my ground without saying anything to the person in question? m a y b e ............

(it really never gets easier, does it? why Do people just use the idea of being "the canon spouse/wife/husband" as any sort of a weapon or get up in others' grills (read: dms/a server or social circle they could both be in) saying that nobody else will ever truly love or understand The Character the way they do like. even if people see a character in a different light, from a different angle than you? doesn't mean we can't still kinda love them? not knowing as much about someone you love as another person... doesn't mean you can't also want to learn more about them? it just bites to see so many positive affirmations get swiveled around to "and here's Why i should be the only person to touch this character"; this isn't an ask that's 'anti-sharing', mind you- it's more just. unless whoever you're shooing away is unironically the most dogshit person out there, you can tell people you're not okay with sharing f/os and still behave like a normal person, y'know? to render someone's view of a character from positive to negative only and Specificially because of you/one person is just flat-out mean, no bones about it-)

i did n o t mean to ramble on this much uogh God

anyway to anyone reading this your f/os love you to bits no matter what fuckery's going on, i rly hope they give you a big ole kis on the head and hold you close like it's the end of the world, if they can't do thar?? hold them just as tight so nature can heal, you've got this

i in the meantime will crawl under a boulder for 10 years lmao peace i hope yall have a good week

[normalteenager2018]

hey man im sorry your getting ganged up on and stuff but you gotta really dig deeper then just looking at a few singular posts. With the “qftim” thing, its not qftim its actually a fanfiction of someone who re-wrote the au called inky mystery and i highly recommend it c: . Idrk about the carla thing because i think she said she hcs cuphead as demisexual (something still on the aroace spec). With pja party, its an au of basically cuphead and mugmans parents in casino cups. Their parents are obviously gonna look like their children. So basically just dont assume stuff without knowing the full context behind most of it. I hope you have a good day 😁😁/srs

OK, this gon most likely gon be my last post to this dumbass argument. Ik some ppl gonna keep bringing it up unless I do it myself. This drawing was a joke comic, but yall saying that I joke bout rape. Ima be honest I did but it's not that I find that shi arousing. This is inspired by me and my family members and at the time I just wanted to post it to see if wha my dad was doin to me was bad or not. I don't find rape arousing cuz I'm a rape baby🤨 yal can't be just throwing stuff round when u don't know why I made somthin. I'm not q fucking pedophile. I was just joking bout it cuz Ion wanna make ppl sad if I ever told them the truth.

The guy on the top of this post mentioned the pics of bendy and cup. The reason why I brought it up was bcs I think it's weird to ship characters that aren't even in th same fuckin universe but I wasn't directly clowning on one person. Those 2 pics were an example

Yall can't just be spreading this shi round cuz that girl marshmallow literally said in he comments bout them gon spread that I support incest when the guy that touched me was my brother. Like why do u think I used dice and mug for the first pic instead of cup and mug. Cuz Ion like incest. Like u rlly think I liked it when my brother touched my dick, Ion think so💀 All I did was tha.

I don't hate Carla or pja, I actually were fine with what they were doin cuz I didn't care. Not that I care now but I wanted to just say an opinion. My opinion basically. I even made art of them back then.

And this was inspired by pja

And i actually did apologize before all this bs escalated. That's why ppl actually started defending me. I never hated either of them cuz I knew they ain't do nothin wrong. But after some time I started to find it corny so I said what I thought then yall started Givin me hate.

Most of yall started saying i like rape, incest, and probably think ima becom the next number one sex offender in the Bronx. Like bro stfu I just did sum yall don't like so that just shows me yall sum sensitive ppl. Ion wanna hear ppl say I like that shi when u don't even fuckin know me.

Yo anon gtfo please. Your desperation to prove tae a liar just shows how insecure his words make you feel. Why is it so important to you to prove that tae lied? Trying to cancel him, calling him names, all bcs he said that jungkook went to meet him. Maybe the concept of travelling together without the obligation of shooting content is foreign to you. When someone is literally falling due to exhaustion, they aren't on a relaxing trip, it's work. Taekook vacationed for themselves, not for the cams. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is exactly what tae said. They really are that close.

Whatever narrative you are trying to set here, it won't change the fact that jungkook was with tae in Hawaii by his own free will.

Taekook have been spotted multiple times at various locations but bcs of lack of proofs, y'all have always called us liars. Now that the Hawaii one has been proven right, you are trying to twist into something it's clearly not. Jfyi, tae said he said he missed jungkook and jungkook traveled for 10 hrs to see him. This is the truth and it'll remain the truth unless taekook say otherwise. You are a fckng troll who has nothing but hatred in their heart just bcs two people are that close to each other.

One last question, why tf does their bond bother you this much? Is it bcs it threatens your ship? Why are you so hell bent on proving tae a liar?

In regards to my original post of miguel being an absolute dad to miles

Warning! I'm really weird and random stuff keep on popping into my head! Also cussing(maybe??)

So, I ship spiderdads/miguel x Peter b, so just imagine the found family trope where Peter b and miguel unofficially adopt miles as their son and mayday absolutely loving her new big brother :))))) (I love fluff and platonic stuff, especially found family and father and child dynamics, etc)

.....so yall know Tom and jerry right??? (Please, stay on track with me on this one)

And there's this grey dog in Tom and jerry, called spike, and he has a son, name tyke. And spike is admitted, father rof the year, but like imagine miles having that sorta dynamic with any of his father figures (Peter b, miguel, his actual dad jefferson)

Like, imagine miguel being so proud of miles raising his spanish grade, like he hangs it up in his office like a trophy or something?? (Like how you put your kids art on the fridge)

if anyone decides to bully miles, they'd have to deal with a 6'9 vampire, a police captain, and Peter b who's already comforting miles. Aswell as mayday already biting their Ankles because no body messes with her unofficial big brother >:(

(Not to mention rio with her slipper and miles 42 getting ready to murder someone over bullying his twin, regular miles.)

(Don't click read more unless you want clarification for the spike and tyke dynamic thing.)

This is what I mean, for the spike and tyke dynamic.

What was David's relationship with sex in ials after the after the divorce? Like i know he had trouble sometimes being with jaden. But what was his personal relationship with sex like?

That tiktok sound of *oh my god i love this question* plays every time in my head when one of yall ask me questions about sex and intimacy in my characters/ships 😂

David's personal relationship with sex is a very interesting one. It very much differs from one fic to another depending on a lot of other factors - mainly his upbringing. 

In IALS, we see him having a difficult relationship with sex at the beginning due to the conversion therapy. It is with Max that he begins to heal slowly. 

So after the divorce, I wouldn’t say he becomes aversive to it per se, but he probably found it very difficult and even weird to have or think about sex without Max. 

There is also a canon trait of David that he 1) is shy to talk about sexual things and uses very formal/evasive vocabulary 2) doesn’t like to masturbate (unless it’s phone sex etc). 

So post-divorce David’s relationship with sex was a very difficult one. Because the thing is, no matter what, he is a very horny person. So, being horny and not being able to have sex - at least not in a way that feels comfortable and safe to you must have been very challenging to him. 

One thing could’ve helped is that David with Jaden (and even Max) is the dominant person in their sexual relationship. I’m not saying that because he is the one who tops, but because he is good at directing his partner and he enjoys making someone feel good. In simpler terms, he is a soft dom and service top. So, with Jaden, I think this control really helped him. This is why we seem him often get irritated when Jaden touches/kisses him without permission. 

As we progressed in the story, let’s say towards the latter part of the fic, I think he allowed himself to look at photos/videos of Max and get turned on (he didn’t before because of the aversion), but I think this is something he purposely worked towards - finding Max attractive and appreciating his beauty, etc. 

I also think this is a topic David extensively (but carefully) discussed with his therapist. Because we know, for David, getting back together with Max isn’t just about loving him again. That never went away. There is a part in the fic where he says “I want to hold you, sleep next to you, cuddle you” etc. So, this is a conscious goal he worked towards. 

PS - I’ve been wanting to write Max and Mavid’s second first time in IALS forever. But it’s such an intimate scene and so fucking important and precious to me. The inspiration hasn’t struck me yet. But hopefully, it will one day!
