— FAQ AND KEEPING UP!

so, i'm alive, and this is honestly long overdue. here, i'll be answering some frequently asked questions (just five because i barely have time for this) along with some rundown of what had happened to me recently, and why exactly i was inactive. and some of the expectations/things i want to change when it comes to this account and my ao3 account because guysss, i'm 20 years old! that's crazy.

as always, this will be obnoxiously organized. if you know me and you've been following me for a while, i hate messily-organized things. (which is hypocritical of me because my tumblr is a mess. tbf, when i started this, i had no idea what was going on.) some trigger warnings to take note of: there will be mentions of SA, p/dophilia, harassment, ED, and so. you can use this as a warning for whatever college experience you'll have.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART AND HEAD OVER TO FAQ!

as many of you know, i'm currently in college and now, i'm a—yey. one of the many reasons why i was inactive is because i'm very grade conscious and my first semester in college didn't go over so well because i was adjusting. anyway, my liver is definitely fucked. unfortunately, i've taken to smoking too but not to excess because i don't like doing anything at all to an excess.

that's a brief what's going on in my life and health updates. now you guys know i'm becoming just like my father 😇 but it's fine because i have, in the gpa equivalent, a 3.8 to 3.9, something along that range. so my academics are doing amazing!

but, as some of you may know, i studied in the same school since i was in elementary to high school in a somewhat 'exclusive' school that handpicked students. college opened me to so many people in a horrible way because in a span of barely a year, men have ruined my friends and i's lives.

let's start with the rough part: i keep on seeing these two guys i was once involved with around the campus, each known to have SA'd someone/attempted to have SA'd someone after we were involved. which fucks me up every time because the other guy is apparently still asking about me. crazy. and i have no idea what to do about that so i will simply rest in peace. (to others who may ask about why someone who SA'd someone would still be in a prestigious college and roaming around, they were apparently forgiven by their victim. allegedly. i don't know much.)

and a lot of the men i became friends with in college are elitists, socially unaware, privileged, and lowkey sexists. i'm just astounded. in shock. of course, i met some of the best guy friends in college too, of which i'm very thankful for.

HOWEVER, the worst thing happened a few months ago. my close friend was dating this guy in her college in a rather questionable manner. but that's not the point. anyway, i became close friends with the guy too and we integrated him in our friend group, became really, really close.

but there were red flags, of course. i scolded him often for it. and then my friend began telling me stuff about their relationship and i insisted for her to break up because so many bad things are happening already involving his ex. but she stayed with him still (i won't go to details because they were awful) and then it was revealed right before he moved to another country (they planned to do LDR) that he liked kids. he SA'd his ex multiple times. his alleged 'crazy' ex was a victim. he and his friends are awful human beings. they exchanged cp when they were in high school. large amounts of cp. and you guys don't even wanna know what else happened and for that, i'll keep them to myself.

my friend stayed with him for a month or so, until they broke up; he said she was awful for not realizing he's changed...

anyway, that's the context of my deleted post concerning my friend being a ykw. i have cut him off, blocked him everywhere, and he said he hates me lol. we can't do anything about it as his parents are government and law enforcement-affiliated. another day, another win for the elites.

also, some time before that my ED kicked in again but i'm kind of okay now. i'm mentally healthy atm. i'm doing great in school. i'm going for orgs. i have good friends. 😇 i have cut off smoking and drinking since the 10th of august. i don't think i'm gonna go back to smoking some time soon because my mom has a hound's nose for that. but unfortunately, drinking is part of the experience.

— FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!

when are you updating frog in a well?

you should've heard the scream i let out just now. i have honestly grown tired of jjk and especially bnha, which i never really got into. jjk sucks now, guys... the constant mischaracterization of the characters by the fans, whatever is going on with sukuna, literally everything. at least nobara is alive.

but i want to finish froggie, honestly. it would be an achievement if i finished froggie and that's only my motivation for it. froggie will be updated whenever. that's basically the answer but i want to finish it, promise.

2. when are you updating rain on my parade?

look, i have 3 chapters on it already. completed. edited. ready to be posted but i just can't. i haven't been writing the past few months and i feel like anything i write is absolutely disgusting and just awful. so i can't post anything and i keep on re-editing everything: the commissions, the other things i've written and are just on stand-by.

3. any wips?

yes, a lot. i have posted a bit of details about them. they will be posted when i stop being insecure about my stuff.

4. what have you been doing recently?

watching lots of movies. i'm a film bro now, a letterboxd type of person. drinking, shopping, contemplating about my future.

5. others.

an advice for you guys in college or going to college, please PLEASE be careful with the people you meet, especially the men. i'm sorry to say but it's better to be careful and use as much connections you have to figure out what kind of person someone is. and just because a person seems nice, doesn't mean they're really nice, guys! the p/do guy called me a SISTER.

anyway, also, i want to change "unolvrs" or "uno". so if you suddenly see my username changing in all platforms, sorry. that's all i have to say. thank you.

i'm very excited to go back to writing. but i have these backlogs:

but i have many completed drafts, including commissions, some done in private and will be posted in private as well. i will no longer be posting any comm on ao3, but will have a gdrive for all of them.

and i'm starting to move past the "i can't update any chapter of other fics unless i update froggie". i've been going through that, which some of you may have noticed as i post chapters in bulks. anyway, that's it, i think.

TLDR;

i went through a lot last year and this year.

i will be changing my username from unolvrs and my penname uno to something else.

some chapters, including comms, will be posted on: OCTOBER 27.

[unolvrs]

guys this is acc why i don't ship falin x marcille bc bro... they met when falin was 10...

Marcille and Falin's relationship is so. Like to start out this ten year old child and this thirty-seven year old research grad were one another's first ever friend, right? They're adorable, there's mutual respect, they change and enrich eachother's lives, Marcille revises her whole approach to her life goals due to Falin's influence, ect.

Fast forward a decade, and Falin grows up. Falin leaves, for four whole years, and Marcille follows her to the end of the earth as soon as she's asked. She'll risk her life, die repeatedly, eat monsters and slime, invoke ancient and forbidden magic to save her.

But acknowledging Falin as an adult who has grown and changed with the passage of time? That's scary. That's too scary.

[unolvrs]

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

[unolvrs]

you'd pair marcille with laois? not falin? I'm curious about your reasoning for that (not jugementally!), because I've only ever seen people shipping falin and marcille, and it seems like those two's closeness is pretty central to dungeon meshi -- would you be willing to explain your perspective on that? no obligations to, of course, I'm simply curious because it's an opinion I've not seen before. hope you're doing well!

i get why people ship marcille with falin, especially since a lot of her motivation as the story progresses comes from falin. but at the same time, marcille and laios have more scenes that're definitely implied to be romantic, in my humble opinion — it's not shoved down our throats but it's a smooth thing that happens every now and then.

honestly, [SPOILER] ever since it was revealed that marcille was a researcher when falin was a student, and the canon ages presented in which falin was most likely a teen when they first met completely eradicated whatever ship was forming. [END]

plus, i think what bolstered the marcille x falin train was that one scene in the bathtub. but throughout the manga, we see more of marcille & laios more than anything else.

and i don't wanna compare manga readers vs anime readers but it seems like i have no choice but to do so: it's the dilemma i have with laios x kabru where, yes, people can ship whoever they want to ship but i feel very strongly about how laios and kabru's relationship is just kabru chasing laios in a way, and kabru having a more developed and AMAZING relationship with mithrun. but since kabru is a pretty boy twinky stereotype, and laios is a big guy, people naturally gravitate to it.

then there's falin and marcille, whose ship was even more popularized because of the bathtub scene at the beginning but as everything develops, it's marcille and laios who have more scenes that imply something romantic, especially at the end [SPOILER] where marcille stays with laios and their "monsters" eating each other [END]

i think more japanese fans are into marcille x laios, but western twitter is more into laios x kabru and marcille x falin. but again, this is just my opinion! PLEASE IT'S JUST MY OPINION RAHHHHHH

[unolvrs]

COMING OUT AS A DUNGEON MESHI FAN TO SAY THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY LAIOS X KABRU IS A THING WHEN THERE'S LITERALLY LAIOS X MARCILLE AND THE ONLY OTHER VALID SHIP WHICH IS KABRU X MITHRUN???

i am a marcille x laios and kabru x mithrun truther aka the only valid ships 😐

hi uno first of all im in love with you!

second how do you think it would go if you got isekai into naruto?? (ignore me this is my way of trying to get to know u without sliding up ur dms like a FREAK) what would you do? your likelihood of survival? what do you think would u be bringing with u (context: everyday things u normally bring)?? what would u be wearing?? etc

i think naruto isekais are a bit unrealistic like that because somehow all of them know how to survive. i'd love to know how it would go if it's you as a genz (you are right??) and with all your background

this question killed me because i'm the worst person for this, starting with the fact i'm very anemic with no exercise whatsoever. i'm babied by my friends and i have them carry my things most of the time... i don't open doors for myself. i cannot cook AT ALL. the roads i cross are TINY and only within campus.

my likelihood of survival is zero!

i'd most likely be wearing a cami top and baggy jeans and air forces... full face of igari make-up and all. my everyday items is my auntie bag. all that's in there is my laptop, charger for that and my phone, wallet, and make-up... of course, napkin too. and that's only if you catch me on a school day !! outside of school, i have the world's tiniest purse just with make-up and a wallet. thank you.

i go with an aquaflask everywhere! unless you catch me on a drinking day so all i'm wearing is a skirt and a cami top and said small purse...

dude, i honestly won't be able to survive AT ALL. i couldn't even survive in the countryside here because i'm a city girl through and through... idk if this is how you guys envisioned me but this is d real me. and my japanese is, like, a junior high student's japanese with too many slangs and absolutely NO keigo.

Hi again! I would like to know, do you have any plans in sharing or teaching on how you write your stories? Like how you articulate it. I'm trying to find some novelist like Edgar Allan Poe who have good writing style, is that what they say?

babes, i definitely don't think i'm as good as you think i am to the point i'll start teaching people how to write oh my god but thank you for thinking so, really. this made me scream, cry, and bawl my eyes out.

and i definitely don't have such plans?? i only answer the questions in my inbox, and call it a day, however long i may take to do so. i'll do my best to answer questions here and on discord, but it might take time. if i take more than a week, please don't be shy and just double-text me. i'll judge myself more than i'll judge you, honestly.

[unolvrs]

Hi~~ I hope you get well soon enough!! Could you please answer one question about japanese when you feel okay?

So, there are different licensed translators for jjk in my country (yeah…) and there is a different nuance in 78 chapter in the translations. I copied the japanese phrase from the page and I hope I didn’t miss anything because small characters were mixing with the big ones 😭

俺だけ強くても駄目らしいよ

Does it mean something more in a sense of “me just being strong is no use (like the strength itself is useless) or “it’s no use if I am the only one who is strong” (like the strength is important and he doesn’t want to be strong alone)? Thank you so much! And please be careful with your health, I hope you will have some rest.

first of all, sorry for replying to this late, huhu!

but as always, a quick disclaimer to everything i'm translating: it's always difficult to translate japanese to english in a way that makes sense in an english context. if i translate this directly, it might sound very awkward, blahblah, typical disclaimer.

this is the full scene. the first panel is the question: 「俺だけ強くても駄目らしいよ」 and the second panel is 「俺が救えるのは他人に救われる準備がある奴だけだ」, so given this context, it's pretty clear what he's trying to say.

the second panel talks about how he can't save people who don't want to be saved. so, in conclusion, he basically means that his strength doesn't mean much if the person he's trying to save doesn't want to be saved.

uno, you like formula 1 (the racing series)? what teams and drivers do you supported?

answering based on 2024 drivers! red bull and mercedes, and if i'm happier than usual, mclaren. but for drivers, max, george, lh, alonso ^^ piastri is also growing on me and some f2 drivers ! when i was starting out, i was full-on alexander albon but my friend who has a phd on f1 talked me out of it. (my friend is rbr and lh fan)

[unolvrs]

why as a fanfiction writer who nerds out about naruto lore and going uhm actually when it comes to jjk lore do you like f1…….. im shooting a gun at myself if you say you like soccer too bc i thought we were losers here!!!!! youre leaving us out!!!

HELPPP????

yes, i am acc serious about f1... the despair i felt during aus gp when max dnf was insane. i had to stop doing my make-up bc i was about to leave, was late in arriving to my friend and i's agreed meeting time, brought my ipad with me too... as for soccer uhrmm not really? but i do watch most football matches of my uni.

[unolvrs]

hi uno! will you update Tatara again? i’ve been a fan since wattpad <3 :)

u said the forbidden taboo w-word...

i still love and adore tatara with all my heart so the possibility of it coming back is very high, but updating anytime soon? not really. i wanna focus on finishing froggie (shot) and other of my fics, esp my new one, wataru wataru. so there's that!

[unolvrs]

Uno, are you okay? We haven't heard a peep from you for awhile 😕🥺🫂

ah yes... everyone's question... i've received a ton of this but this will be the only one i'll answer so i don't get too yappy!

but the reason why i've been away is bc of duh! college... i'm not as busy as i was last semester but for some reason, every time i come home, i just pass out. completely dead. and i use all my free time to watch movies, get drunk, and think about my life choices and my future ahhashhdakdsja

favourite japanese food vs favourite filipino food?

i'm boring when it comes to japanese food. i'm a classic: onigiri, sushi, etc. i'm very picky when it comes to how people cook my gyūdon because most restaurants cook it either too sweet or too savory and no! i hate that! i used to have a sweet tooth but now it's gone.

as for filipino food, i am all the way with my chicken curry, giniling, calamares, and bicol express hngggg. i am not an adobo or sinigang girl... mb guys... no one cooks adobo just right for my taste buds bc it's either too sweet, too salty, or too oily. i always have a complaint when eating adobo and my friends and mom side-eye me for it. as for sinigang, i just don't feel strongly for it. i'm, like, uhmmm okay.

i am a picky eater. i'll try whatever food you want me to but i'll have a strong opinion on it after <3

[unolvrs]

I'm glad you passed your math exam! I had one a few days ago, and I'm praying that I do well 🤧

also I hope you don't mind me asking, but are there any old fics that you might bring back? I remember reading the 1st two chapters of drowned & really lonving it 4-5 years ago( i can't believe its been this long since i follwed you), and then you suddenly deleted it & I was super sad because it was the first best naruto fic that I read 😭

like your fics and writing style made my standards so high for both fanfics & books too 🥺 and I hope the fics that I'm writing satisfies me in the end like the way your writing does to me ( lol started writing two years ago & the only thing i posted was a prologue last year and I'm yet to finish the first chapter 🥲) - Ruki

i passed math in general so amen 🙏🏻

and OH MY GOD is it this one bc if it is, i'm gonna ROT in embarrassment this was just...

i'd like to pretend i never went through a wattpad phase but it was unfortunately a jumpstart to my ao3 era but i wanna SOB thank you for being there since my aesthetics >> writing era and following me through here. thank you so much for finding it good though.

i'm gonna admit, the reason why i stopped writing about suiren is because of wattpad's shitty autosave 😭 i wrote a couple of chapters then one of the chapters wasn't saved and i got so devestated bc it happened lots of times and i just gave up.

and i totally get not finishing anything bc that's totally me right now BAHAHHSHWHAHAHAJAHAHAKMSHAHAHA me with froggie 😍 though i'm... somehow gonna finish that soon...

[unolvrs]

I would like to see your brain <333 /pos
