IMMEDIATELY a day late to Dracula Daily but nonetheless excited to see how our good friend Johnathan gets on with his business trip! I really hope nothing goes terribly wrong and that there aren't any very homosexual undertones (lies)

book 2!

a few notes on the character names:

Otogiri- Otogiri is composed of the characters "younger brother" (弟) and "cut" (切). There's a species of plant with this name (Otogirisou / Hypericum erectum). The legend behind the name has a few variations, the gist of which says that this plant was used by a falconer as an herb to cure his falcon's wounds. When the falconer's younger brother leaked this secret, the older brother cut him down and killed him in a fit of rage. This plant has symbolic meanings of resentment, grudges, and superstition. I also find it to be a pretty on the nose name because. You know. Tobi's literally a younger brother who's been cut off from his older brother.

Tobi- Tobi is written with the character for 'fly' (飛). It's also a homophone for 'kite' (a bird of prey) (鳶). Possible allusion to the falconry in the legend? Who knows.

Seki- Seki is written with the character meaning 'lagoon' (潟) t/n: a fun fact is that a lot of people mistake this kanji with 瀉, meaning (bowel) evacuation, used in words like 'diarrhea' and 'laxative'. this is completely irrelevant, i just think it's funny because seki's a piece of shit

Shiratama Ryuuko- Shiratama = "white jewel" (/jade/bead/ball etc), Ryuuko = "dragon's child". A pretty mystical sounding name

edit: shiratama is also a kind of white dango made with rice flour ←Shiratama's double bun hairstyle is also called 'o-dango'

Haizaki Itsuya- Haizaki = "ash/grey" + "cape/peninsula", Itsuya = "evade/idleness"+"to be" (archaic) idk it's a pretty normal name ig

Asahi Monika- Asahi = "shallow" + "crimson", Monika = "sprout" + "sun" + "flower"

Shizukudani Rukana- Shizukudani = "water drop" + "valley", and Rukana is written in katakana

next: 0-1

I'm catching up to Breaking Bad because my attention span just could not commit for a while, and I left off at Season 4 episode 8. Gus's partner in the flashback made me gasp out loud.

[relativelydimensional]

bestie what are some of your merthur fic recs

Omg who me? stooppp <3

Okay so I used to read a LOT of merthur fics back around 2011-2013 and have only recently hopped back on the bandwagon so this will be a mix of some oldies i've revisited and some newer fics that have made me insane :))))

0. this one goes without saying but The Student Prince is seriously one of the best fics in any fandom i've ever read to this day. I relisten to the podfic every single year and it SLAPS every time. If you haven't listened/read recently this is obviously my #1 rec hahahha

Okay onto some actual recs

1. Tired by spqr

King Arthur gets enchanted and keeps having dreams about his court sorcerer merlin :))))) He obviously doesn't say this to Merlin, but Merlin notices he's not been sleeping and Arthur comes clean about having 'nightmares.' When Merlin tries to figure out a counterspell, he accidentally casts it on himself and ohh nooo they're both having sexy dreams about each other but also have to act normal in real life ITS SO YUM. This fic was surprisingly soft, like yes they are having some full on dreams but also the bits that made me extra insane were just the little soft moments between non-dream merthur 🥺

This was a school holidays read and i remember reading this in the staff room of the elementary school i was working at trying so hard not to SCREAM. At one point i had to go on a spirited walk around the building just to get my energy out because it was JUICY.

If you like: canon era fics, court sorcerer merlin, the intimacy of domesticity, arthur with a beard and merthur being so in love but also fucking clueless about it this the fic for you <3

2. But It's a Good Refrain by lady_ragnell

Merlin runs a relationship advice/matchmaking service radio show and Arthur's ex calls in and rips into him on air. Arthur calls in to defend himself and he and Merlin butt heads. An oldie but such a goodie. I love this one because the characterisation feels very natural. Plus i loooove arthur POV fics. Merthur are so sweet in this one and i love love love the dynamic of their respective friendship groups merging. It also features the fandom favourite m/f crack ship that is elena and gwaine which im always here for.

If you like: silly modern AU friend group nonsense, Arthur POV fics, snarky Morgana, and a fic writer who understands the sheer power merlin emrys' 🥺 face would have over not only Arthur but literally ANYONE who looks at him, this is the fic for you.

3. Second Chances by DragonDucks

This is a canondivergence/fix-it fic set immediately after Arthur dies in 5x13. In this version Arthur tells Merlin he loves him with his dying breath and Merlin's magic sort of implodes sending him back in time to 1x1. So it's like sad s5 Merlin getting a second chance to save Arthur in the body of tiny baby s1 merlin.

I'm gonna be honest i'm still reading this one but it has me kicking and screaming!!!! Most of the dialogue is repurposed from the show which makes it extra juicy to me and its just delicious i love it so much. The POV switches between S5 mourning merlin and S1 gay panic arthur and its soooooo good i'm loving it so far. Some of the side characterisation is a little weird but Merthur are PERFECT. It NAILS that yummy introverted Arthur and fond Merlin characterisation.

If you like: canon era fix it fics, time travel, Arthur pendragon falling in love with merlin bit by bit and actually having space and time to grow as a person, and merlin emrys being like no everyone shut up about my destiny i just wanna have a good time with my boyfriend, this is the fic for you.

4. All is Semblative by Whitefox

I just fucking love crossdressing fics okay 😇. This is cinderella meets Merthur. Uther is throwing a ball to find Arthur a bride and servants aren't allowed. Out of spite (and, lets be real, also jealousy) Merlin tries to disguise himself to sneak in and ends up accidentally turning himself into a princess. Arthur hits it off with a weird but beautiful mystery princess who turns out to be his manservant he's been in love with this whole time. Simples.

If you like: Prince Arthur knowing about merlin's magic and being cool with it, fairytale AUs, accidental genderbending (but still canonically mlm merthur), and arthur pendragon singlehandedly embodying demisexual panic this is the fic for you.

5/6. As Long As We Have We AND No Matter How Far Away You Roam by lady_ragnell

Lady Ragnell again because I looove the way they do modern day Arthur. and i've been going through their stuff. These are both super cute christmas fics (I know its a little early but I couldn't help myself). In the first one, Uther has just died (rip uther you will not be missed) and Arthur accidentally collects lonely friends to spend christmas with him in the empty house. At the same time he befriends Merlin, the owner of his local bookstore, and merlin brings his own group of strays to Arthur's christmas...and obviously everyone gets along super well and merthur fall in love. The second one is a fake dating. T get his parents off his back, Arthur lies to Uther and Igraine that he and merlin have been together for years and Merlin (plus his mum and his sister Freya) has to play along one christmas..and obviously everyone gets along....and obviously everyone gets along super well and merthur fall in love.

If you like: found family, cute christmas fics and fluffy merthur these fics are the ones for you!

Also pls if anyone has any canon era secret dating merthur fics i beg of you please send them my way 🥺

[crymeariveronceagain]

hi im writing a kotlc fairytale au(yes. im hopping on the bandwagon.) and i want to hear what y'all think the pairing and the fairytale are

[brainrotgoverner]

Imma hop into the bandwagon—

Who’s heavier? Buddy or Chase?

DEFINITELY Chase XD

Buddy might be a bit taller and yes they are both on the 'slim' side but Buddy is a ✨skinny bitch✨ im pretty sure even Chase can easily haul him up XD

[strawberrylemonchai]

yippe

I'm hopping onto the su au bandwagon now so i just drew this (i am falling asleep) :D

((Also im new to tumblr so ye))

[untitled-gem]

okay im gonna say it, i actually feel annoyed asf whenever people complain about the fionna and cake series that's not even out yet. it mostly happens on the at subreddit, people dismissing the show because they hate fionna and cake as characters and saying they'd rather have a shermy and beth spinoff. i mean yes! a shermy and beth spinoff would be awesome and perhaps it will even happen in the future, but i just hate (lmao ironic sort of) all of this needless negativity whenever the series is brought up. bonus points if someone who hasn't been on the train at all has only JUST found out abt it being a thing and hops on the negativity bandwagon for it. because like i said, it's not even out yet!! and the negative reception isn't gonna change that it will still be a thing

look, i get that the fionna and cake episodes aren't your thing. i find the storylines to them are often kinda offputting as well, but i sincerely doubt they're going to indulge in that version of them any more. it's a young adult series (which makes me think it's going to be far more mature — like distant lands), ice king is no longer around to put them in weird situations (i feel like people forget that just because the characters exist and are beamed to his head doesn't mean he doesn't twist some of the stories to fit his fantasies a lot of the time), and i don't know, i just feel like people are judging it too fast. for the third time, it isn't even out. we barely have any concrete details about it, and we may not for months now.

another thing i dislike is people instantly assuming the characters are going to return because simon, not ice king, is still writing about them. there couldn't be a less simon thing to do. the entire point of ice king's character was that he was a lonely man who lacked morals and because of that he struggled to connect with anyone in a regular way. it would make sense for a character like this to be completely obsessed with a fictional universe, because he's lonely. i can literally vouch for this. i have no friends and it's 4am and i'm sitting here ranting about a children's cartoon.

i feel like people just need to give it a chance. i have the feeling that they really want to take this opportunity to make the real existing versions of fionna, cake, and all the genderbent characters into their own people rather than reflecting off of their counterparts. i already think of fionna and cake as different people to be honest. and with distant lands, as well as the general growth the original series had with its writing, i don't think that they're going to disappoint us with this. and i'll be really surprised if they go down a route that's just completely awful after making amazing episodes like obsidian & together again.

but hey that's just me

[cognitosclowns]

okay im hopping on the bandwagon, ron is definitely reagans secret sibling. rand is definitely enough of a bastard to go out and have another kid in secret. it makes sense too, if he wanted to have a kid that would take over cognito one day he'd probably think of having a backup plan just in case reagan didnt turn out. also the two of them do look pretty similar, they have the same eyebrows and general face shape, ron just looks more like rand with the hair and the nose. also the way they act, they both do that little arm crossy thing and have a similar attitude. also the whole 'ronald reagan' pun is completed with both their names and that's too good to pass up. ive connected the dots (i didnt connect shit)

YES!!! YES!!! God I’m so obsessed w/ the idea of them being siblings. Idk if they’re gonna pull a bait-and-switch on us but GOD!!!! THE POSSIBLE LORE WE COULD GET FROM THAT!!! How many more possible siblings could Reagan have running around?? What’s the specific history of his falling-out with Rand?? How many people, in general, has Rand completely wiped the minds of? Is Ron gonna end up switching to Rand’s side??

I could also 100% see them doing a slightly more,, sci-fi variant. Clone/Alt-Universe Double, maybe even made by the Illuminati to spy on her + Cognito? IN ANY CASE IM,, SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THEY GO WITH THIS NEW GUY

[slaasherslut]

What my OC's smell like

yes im hopping on this bandwagon and thats okay

Avana Walker

Cigarettes - This girl smokes like half a pack a day and is fully surrounded by other smokers. At this point the scent has permanently sunk into her clothes.

Weed - She isn't a total pothead but she tends to have some on her at all times. She usually has a bag in her purse or a joint tucked into her cigarette pack.

Vanilla scented body mist - Vanilla is one of her favourite scents to wear. She uses it almost every day to try to make the cigarette and weed smells a little less overpowering, but she doesn't go completely overboard with it.

Milo Vess

Coffee - If you see him right in the morning, the first thing you'll smell on him is cigarettes and coffee. The smell when he makes his morning coffee practically sticks to his skin and his morning cigarette and coffee on the back porch permeates into his jacket.

Cigarettes - He doesn't smell too strongly of cigarettes most days, mostly just after hes had one. He keeps his smoking to a minimum. He'll have roughly 4 smoke a day, more if hes stressed. Hes a man of habit and has them almost the same time every day.

Earthy scent - He tends to have a natural earthy scent when he comes home from work, like pine and dirt. Working outdoors in the cemetery all day, the scents of the pine trees surrounding the cemetery and the dirt he works in tends to stick to him.

Part 2?

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

Okay so. In some of your posts you draw niyah (Self insert/you irl, if im gathering correctly) but in others there's a something-eared little fellow, like in the asking for hugs post. Is that a sona? If so, is there a ref or something? I want to hop on the hug bandwagon!!!

I have a lot of ideas for my own au and Self insert / oc, and I guess what I wanted to say is if you would like to hear them? If not, it's okay. I'll just talk my mom's ear off xd. Was going to take about them here, but I think it's more appropriate

Also... just so I know about rules and boundaries. How do you feel about other people shipping with Donnie? Is that something that makes you uncomfortable? Are are you neutral on it? Or do you like to gush with fellow fans (like I do)?

If you are uncomfortable 'sharing' it's fine, I won't ever bring it up again. Just need to know to avoid making you feel bad, I dont want to do that ever!

-A shy Moon 🌙 ✨️

Oh yes yes! My sona! I don’t have a very good ref of her but I do have this!

Her name is Toast! (Another name I like to go by, but I didn’t wanna confuse you dorks lol) Toast is a shapeshifter (so she has a rat form (cough cough sweater rat)) The lol things on top of her head or actually horns! I see a lot of people draw em as little ears or something and honestly it’s cute as hell 💛💛💛 I love when people draw Toast IT MAKES ME SO HAPPYYY

And ofc I’d love to hear about your self insert AU!! You’re such a sweetheart so it’s the least I can do :]]!!

How I feel about other people shipping OC’s or themselves with Donnie? While I’m the jealous type (I’m trying to get better I swear 💀💀💀🕊️), who am I to stop anyone lol. I do actually enjoy seeing other peoples art and stuff! It makes me happy that I’m not the only weirdo (/lh) around 💀. The SECOND someone mentions Donnie, I’m pulling up with the whole plot of Portals!Au and all my ship art. ( thanks to my loud ass friends, I’m known as the girl who likes Donnie. Somehow my therapist found out too, good lawrd 😭)

GUSH TO ME I WANNA HEAR!!! ITS SO FUN INTERACTING WITH YOU GUYS!! I’m so happy I popped in on tumblr again, I would’ve never gotten to meet you gorgeous people 💛💛💛 YOU GUYS ARE JUST SO SWEET AND MAKE MY DAY EVERY DAY!!!

Holy garbage cans, sorry for the huge rant lmao

Have a wonderful day, Moon!! Thank you so much for the art, it was absolutely lovely ^^🫶🫶🫶🫶

[samglyph]

First off - thanks so much for the live blogging! Didn't even know there was a new horror podcast from Rusty Quill and ive hopped on the bandwagon SO fast! Im on ep 5 right now and im convinced Arthur is suicidal with all the bad decisions he's making. He's literally the embodiment of 'that white girl who checks on the Sounds in the basement' of every horror movie and the only thing stopping him from dying is his emotional support seeing eye demon who's doing an awful job at both responsibilities.

I also headcannon that anytime Arthur is talking and not looking at someone directly his left hand slowly moves up to grab his chin and points his face in the right direction. Doubly so for any angry yelling.

Arthur: I was just trying to be polite! And you're being a total prick!-

John moving his head to look 3 inches up: YeS. GET hIM.

Oh absolutely this is a good head canon. Also I’m so glad my out of context goofs and rambling got you to listen! My secondary goal on this blog is always to get people into the newest hyperfixation so glad I’m succeeding there.

Also episode five is such a good episode I remember it like it was yesterday* (*six days ago)

webp doesn't even feel like a file format. it feels like im just saving the link to an image and that fucking sucks. innovative doesn't mean good

Did you even read the tags?

"feels like"

Okay and why does it feel like that? Because when you send it to someone over discord it posts as a link/download instead of an embed? Because Discord doesn't offer native webp support?

Which is THE EXACT THING I MENTIONED that you are now complaining about?

I never said it was good but also its JUST ANOTHER FILE FORMAT. You don't actually give a shit about the file format. You just care how its used by the programs you want to repost your images to. Everyone who complains about webp DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT about it as a format, they just care that it isn't supported, and you all are misplacing your rage and making fools of yourself when doing so.

The fight against webp is LITERALLY a reactionary movement (as in the response, not the pseudonym for the alt right) because something new isn't 100% supported everywhere you want it simultaneously.

Is it frustrating when you download a webp to share it with someone only to find that the service you are sharing it over doesn't support webp? Yes. Absolutely. Does webp have technically problems that can make it frustrating to use for developers in some cases? Yes. Absolutely.

But when you hop on a hate bandwagon because you went "Oh yeah I have experienced a minor inconvenience from that thing, it IS bad" with no idea what the fuck you are talking about, the ONLY thing you are accomplishing is proving your own lack of critical thinking about your own actions.

In short:

[mothssoup]

this blog is just becoming a mcyt stan account sorry yall
