Kodaka April Fools tweets 2024

Lying just because it's April Fools' is so dull. Honestly painful to watch. Lying in general doesn't do you any good. In my younger days, I told every lie I could, saying some genuinely insane stuff about being a supreme leader of evil and whatnot, and thanks to that, now that I'm in my thirties, I got famous for all the wrong reasons and can't find a stable job because people think I'm associated with the yakuza... Sigh, I wanna deck my cringe younger self's face. Quit lying for fun while you can.

My classmates aren't doing great either. Thinking you're hot shit during your school days always comes back to bite you... My advice to my past self: slow and steady effort is worth more than any talent. Also, the part of life you spent larping with that silly horse laugh is not going to be one you'll want to remember later. I wish I could make that clear to him. White lies aren't a thing. Talent is never enough. My class is proof of that. Wanna know what my classmates are like now that we're in our thirties?

Akamatsu became a piano teacher. Her player skills capped off in her teens, it seems. But she's not that good at teaching so she's considered kinda mid at her job. And now she's struggling with the father of a student incessantly hitting on her. Tough world to live in.

Toujou opened a housekeeping company but she was too strict with her employees so everyone quit. And now she's doing everything on her own. Sucks to be in your thirties without any successors or employees. She's a prime example of how being so much better than anyone else doesn't do you any good. Well, she's always working for celebrities, so she's doing well financially, but I heard about some major court fight about a missing item under suspicion of theft from one of her clients. That can't be nice.

Yumeno got to her thirties still saying magic is real, so she's past the point of no return. She agrees that's an unhinged way to live, but she's too old to suddenly change gimmicks. Work takes her all over the country, but her gimmick doesn't allow her to publicly drink, so she has to get plastered alone in her hotel room after shows. I wish she could fix her life with real magic.

Harukawa? ...Haven't heard that name in a long time. Now she was a living edgy fantasy. The past tense was because I hadn't heard of her in a long time. I don't know the details, but apparently, she went to some war zone outside of Japan because her first love didn't want to date her. Takes some real edgelord to react to a broken heart like that, but if she's still alive, I have no idea how her thirties are treating her. My personal guess is that she's a mother of many.

Chabashira opened her Aikido school but is having a hard time attracting students. So she had the idea of starting an anti-sexual-harassment campaign that could double as advertisement, but thanks to her cluelessness when it comes to romance, she got canceled for mistakenly tossing men in regular couples. She's still doing the "degenerate males" bit in her thirties. Girl really needs to get on with the times. Rumor goes that she still downs huge packs of tequila bottles with Yumeno every now and then. Really don't think there's any salvaging her reputation.

Shirogane is an office lady still continuing her cosplay hobby on the side. She could be doing well if she knew how to keep her mouth shut but frequently rambles about cosplay history and etiquette, so no one likes having her around. Stay emotionally dependent on a single hobby long enough and your passion starts to close you off to others. That's her problem.

Angie was the most successful in the class! She made big money both on the art and the religion fronts. However, there were some controversies about her devotees selling counterfeits of her paintings at exorbitant prices and one magazine made a huge news coverage of it, which resulted in her catching the police's attention. She's been recently untraceable, with the rumors saying that she'll never be back to Japan.

Oh, and Iruma... Up until some point, she had the best life of all of us. She made big money off of her inventions' patents. So far so good. Things only started going off-rails after she married an ex-stripper. The two started a YouTube channel together. And later, her husband ran in last year's elections and lost big time. They got an awful debt from his election campaign and she had to get into side jobs to pay it off. And her husband? Disappeared. No word from Iruma herself about what happened. Tough world to live in.

No further updates from Kodaka in the past 3 hours, so I assume he went to sleep and will come back to tweet about the 7 remaining boys in the morning.

another really interesting thing in our man bashir to me is that I think this is the point where garak finally mostly relinquishes his self-appointed role as bashir's teacher. he seems to have taken it upon himself early on, for inscrutable but probably partially horny, partially cultivating a promising (and lovely) contact reasons of his own, to imbue julian bashir with some spysmarts and basic bastard thinking literacy skills, in the hopes that he won't go get his bright beautiful excitable ass killed at the first opportunity. there's a lot of mentor/protege undertone there in the early years. (if you want to get into asit stuff, very much in the same vein as palandine and garak's relationship in the beginning.)

but in omb garak really only has one of his little lectures, and it's basically about The thing about being a spy (and a person) that has most shaped his life: That's something else you've yet to learn, Doctor. A real intelligence agent has no ego, no conscience, no remorse. Only a sense of professionalism. There is no joy, no magic, no real delight to this, no winning, no recognition, and most importantly no connection; the reward for work well done is only ever the work itself. You don’t kiss the girl, get the key — you simply get on with turning yourself into nothing as best you can. and julian, who had just been trying to momentarily imagine a world where secrets can be cool and glamorous and for good, meaningful reasons that empower him to help the world rather than shameful and isolating and alienating and like a damocles sword hanging over him and everything he cares about, shoots back with 'well, but what if not that, though? that's the whole point of this game! this is my story not yours, trust me to know it better than you do. (I have more things to teach you too, if you’d just listen. And once he gets shot a little bit, garak does listen.)'

(somewhere beneath all this is almost exactly the same debate they will have explicitly later on -- "Sentiment is the greatest weakness of all"/"If that's true, that's one lesson I never want to learn". Something something the freedom to imagine and play around with different worlds in your head, no matter how cringefail james bond LARP nonsense that world is as long as it brings you hope and joy and new perspectives, kill the part of you that cringes etc. Garak you're allowed to get out of the closet in your head now, Tain is gone, you can imagine different things than what has been and no one will turn it against you. Im… sad)

through most of this episode garak is observing, and when he's not simply bitching about everything from the sidelines (<3), he's tentatively trying to throw in comments to play along, to figure out how the flow goes like he's learning a different language, and he's BAD at it hahaha. he barged in there to put himself in a position to learn something about julian bashir's ~*hidden inner psyche*~, but UH-OH spiritual uno reverse card time he's having to face some shit about his own psyche and the immense barrenness it's been forced to operate under for so long.

The learning between them has of course always been two-way (that’s partially what the whole relationship is built on), but in giving up the more ‘formal’ role — mask — of teacher, garak is also opening up space for realer emotional intimacy, letting one layer of artificiality fall and allowing more realness to shine through. even so he doesn’t let go of control completely until he’s faced with irrefutable (horny) proof that julian’s sentiments and ideals are backed by real conviction — julian knows (possibly better than garak does) what is a game, and what is real, and where he draws the line between frivolous and deeply necessary is different from where garak would and by the end of the ep I think garak trusts julian more, enough to leave the story in julian’s hands without trying to steer or form him even indirectly/sneakily. And to top it all off, the way julian uses his last dramatic speech to signal that he did also listen to what garak told him… augh.

the teacher role, along with the lies (ever his swiss army knife god bless), has helped garak keep a sort of fine-tuned control of the level of emotional intimacy possible between them, stay in control of what narratives are even on the table. and I think finally letting that fade more into the background transforms their relationship in ways that can pay off big time down the line, for all that it leaves things a bit strange and tentative in the meantime. by garak standards he’s being positively transparent in this episode. for the first time he talks about his time in the order without any coy prevarication, he states his hunger for knowing julian better right down to his ~*hidden inner psyche*~ almost pathetically openly (<3<3<3<3). And this is just my headcanon and definitely not what was meant at the time of airing, the unplanned nature of the augment reveal being what it is, but in context of the whole show as it became it feels a lot like garak offering some of his own authenticity to signal that julian could trust him with his. It feels like garak has figured out at least the rough outlines of what julian has uh got going on and tried to make this gambit, having… perhaps underestimated the extent of the defenses julian has internally/psychologically against Being Known, quite aside from the practical real world consequences of his secret getting out. Anyway. Lots in this episode. Many thoughts.

#the our man bashir post that was promised #garashir #star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #elim garak #julian bashir #does this make any sense. perhaps not. but at least it's out of my head lol #ds9 meta #long post

ramblings about how winter king is not a simon but an ice king from my insta story. no idea how much sense this makes

Not to post a serious analysis of mr oncest bait, but it's kind of... *wrong* to say the winter king is Simon? I think it's more accurate to call him an ice king who THINKS he's Simon. His whole bit is that he removed the madness of the crown from himself, but the ice king isn't just "simon but crazy". The ice king is the result of the wish crown's curse over the span of 1000 years breaking down Simon's psyche and replacing and warping and mixing it with Evergreen (specifically Gunther's warped view of him) and adding more madness and sadness till he basically experiences ego death. We know our Simon (at least at this point) considers he and ice king separate entities. They have pretty different personalities

Winter king is more like ice king than Simon:

* Physical stuff. Obviously. He's taller, has longer straighter hair, and is fucking bright blue+ still has evergreen's nose LOL. But also smaller stuff like the fact he dresses different and has different shaped glasses

* WAYYYYY more outgoing. Even before All That, Simon doesn't seem like the most outgoing guy. He would go on expeditions yes but could you imagine that guy throwing a party? No.

* Way more selfish and self absorbed. Which is in line with ice king, but now he's conventionally attractive so everyone else agrees. This is opposed to the fact Simon want to khs

* No consideration for PB. This is an interesting one, because it's the first departure from both our Simon and IK. Obviously ice king was terrible to PB LOL but like....he liked her.....because she was like betty..... And now Simon really respects her (and feels terrible about it.) while WK straight up does NOT care about her. Different from both, but closer to IK because he is a dickweed

* Deals with emotions differently than Simon. Seems to have completely blocked Betty out (assuming they were still close in this universe). And marceline bro... whatever happened there, ice marcy is the KID version of her. He has her bass, so she at least grew up and they've interacted. Maybe she saw him get "fixed" and was like. Wow! You're not Simon!

* The name. Fionna's dream has the "ice prince", and that's what she calls Simon upon meeting him for the first time. If this was a True Simon, it would make more sense for him to be called the ice prince in universe, no? But he keeps the King title.

Simon spends a lot of the episode jealous of the winter king because he seems so well adiusted while he has the crown.

Simon has no magic, no nothing, but at least he has his brain back. The crown is very much directly linked to his loss of identity and to see WK be CONSCIOUS and LIKED and seemingly HIMSELF with magic is something he desperately wants especially at a time like this when his mental health is down the shitter while everyone talks about how much more fun he was when he was legitimately insane

The difference is that Simon spent every *conscious* moment FIGHTING the crown. Winter king is NOT fighting that shit. He says that he "conquered" it, but no you did not buddy. He is still dependent on it. He cannot survive without it. He just gave up. He's accepted that he's become one with it instead. So did ice king. Except without the madness of ice king, he can be a semi functional human being. He still gets the high of the crown and all its power, but this doesn't change the fact it Changed Who He IS.

Doesn't fucking matter rn becauee Simon hates himself and wants to be someone else but you get the idea. Winter king is just a version of Ice King LARPing as Simon. He can just do this way more convincingly even to himself because he can actually think now

Like “Betty? OH HAHA THE DEAD ONE” is an ice king ass reply and I swear to god at least part of the reason they didn’t get Tom Kenny to do his voice is because it would just be ice king’s voice again

also in regards to why candy queen is like that-Okay one, this goes with the name thing. Princess bubblegum. Normal. Candy Queen. Insane. Same as winter/ice king and ice prince. We cool?

Anyway

The Madness manifested in Simon/ice king in regards to Betty as romantic obsession. With the madness gone, CQ is the one feeling the brunt of these feelings- which would explain why Winter king doesn't remember feeling so Strongly about betty. Because Simon's feelings about her are naturally just fucking insane, it's so intertwined with the Madness that when that part is removed, so are any feelings towards Betty.

CQ is probably also obsessed with WK and "being together" because the sane part of her mind recognises that this madness is HIS and this is her fucked uo way of trying to like. Give it back.

That’s all I got

here's a little snippet of something im working on (yes i know i havent updated LOB in a month. leave me alone) ☁︎ jercy, au where they kinda remember each other from when they're at the same place, same time. inspired by e106 at 8:28. also, percy swears like a sailor because i said so. ☁︎

“Watch out!”

“Oh, shit–”

He’s on the floor and he can’t feel his jaw. His fingers are tingling in a very painful way. He swears up and down he hasn’t had his life flashing before his eyes, but like, he feels like he’s dying. It hurts like hell.

“You okay?”

The sight that greets him is nothing short of confusing– a tall, blond boy, around his age or maybe younger, with a purple shirt written SPQR on it. He stands in front of him, crouched just enough to shove his calloused hand in his face. (Why in the world is it rough like that? He looks hardly twelve but he has the fingers of a carpenter.)

“What’s up with the shirt? Are you LARPing?” he asks, not even cursing his lack of filter this time. He’s in a freaky casino with friends who just about forgot they were on a mission to stop World War III. Not that he remembers the details much anyway…

“What’s that?” The boy asks in return. “It’s just a camp shirt.”

Huh, almost like Camp Half-Blood’s. The leather cord on his neck rubs at the skin there. It’s bound to leave a red mark with how tight it is against his nape.

He takes the boy’s hand to get back up on his feet. The last thing he expected was that stupidly strong grip and the sliver of a smile on the boy’s face when Percy nearly fell over. His hand starts tingling again.

“Jason Grace,” the boy tells him cryptically.

“Percy Jackson,” he answers, because obviously the guy told him his own name.

“You don’t sound like you’re from around here,” Jason says. He has this accent, one Percy can’t really place– something between animalistic and terribly Silicon Valley.

“And you sound like you’re definitely from L.A.”

He’s not stupid enough to waste his time here, talking to this very pretty guy (where did that come from?) in a very strange casino, with two of his friends gods-know where. Or at least, he thinks that for half a second before–

“What kind of camp makes kids wear something from Ancient Rome?”

His eyes drop to Jason’s hand on his hip.

“And what the fuck is with that sword?!”

Jason’s eyes widen, like he’s about to run away. It’s not a good look on him. Percy almost backtracks, or slams his hand against his mouth just to shut himself up for one damn second, but Jason beats him to the chase.

“You can see the gladius?”

“Why are you saying it like you actually speak latin?” is what Percy answers with, because oh yeah, I’ve got my own sword too, but it’s named Anaklusmos or I can speak Ancient Greek, how cool is that! isn’t the best thing to reply with in this context.

Jason looks– conflicted, at first. There’s some doubt in his stormy eyes, and they begin to resemble Annabeth’s more and more as they cloud over.

Oh shit, Annabeth–

“I left my friends back, oh shit, I gotta be out of here as soon as I can, it’s almost the solstice..,” he mutters, more to himself than to Jason, but it finally gets a reaction out of him that isn’t a (practically) blank stare. Not that he minds.

“Yeah, it’s tomorrow. What kind of deadline do you have in the middle of summer though? I thought classes were over.”

The way he says it is almost comically uncertain, like he has no idea how the school system works in America. Which is, honestly, fair. Percy doesn’t either.

Wait.

“Tomorrow? Nah, no way. We’re the 17th. Did you hit your head too?” He laughs, more out of obligation than anything– Jason’s eyes are downright scrutinising now, and in some other context when they’re both older it would’ve been nice but right now it just scares the shit out of him.

“No, I got here just five minutes ago. We’re the 20th.” It’s the way he says it so matter-of-factly that really gets on his nerves.

He grabs the first person that passes by them– some scrawny kid with black hair, and asks them the date once and for all.

His heart stops when the answer is “March 12th, 1932.”

He glares at Jason and sees him glaring back, and that’s all it takes before they’re running to the entrance to look outside the glass doors.

It’s pitch black, and Percy hasn’t been here for more than an hour. It was noon when he walked in.

“The Lotus Eaters,” he mumbles.

“Like, from the Odyssey?” Jason asks, his voice squeaky and scared. It’s the first actual emotion he sees on the guy’s face– literal fear.

“Fuck.”

Jason hums in agreement.

“Well, good luck to you, man,” Percy says before bolting away back to where he last left Annabeth and Grover. He prayed for them to still be there, and for there to still be time left if they make it out of here.

He doesn’t quite catch the small mumble of his name falling off Jason’s lips.

It sounds great when he says it.

#pjo #percy jackson #jason grace #jercy #peep the di angelo cameo #UNLIKE IN THE SHOW.#fanfic #wip #hes acting like a dumbass but he's 12 #its VERY hard to write the thoughts of an adhd 12yo #i tried!

For my next trick, I will make a timeline of the Goncharov Tumblr wank. Not the fake discourse LARPing, the real classic Tumblr Bullshit ft. self-inflicted queerbaiting, Soviet stanning, self-congratulatory posts about how good and inclusive we are unlike Twitter or pre-Porn Ban Tumblr, neurodivergent people being like we're what now???, mixed messages about what to tag, people giving up and tagging everything "#unreality", psychotic people even more confused now, people who didn't need the tags in the first place yelling about being condescended to, "Trust Me I Have A Psychology Degree", people who logged in on Day 2 being like Donald Glover if the pizza box also blew up in his face and tried to eat him, people fleeing to Twitter because their dashes had become unusuable, Gonchposters getting way to many notes and freaking out after being contacted by BuzzFeed, "are y'all seriously going to romanticise Russia in the middle of the Ukraine War?" "Fuck you, Goncharov is Estonian!" "Wtf is an Estonian?", indignant new Tumblr users wanting to know why people can't just blacklist "Goncharov" and curate their own online experience like they've been told to do, Tumblr users trying to explain that a functional filtering system was a myth this whole time and also people can't blacklist when they don't know wtf it is, "Hey, have we always had this many Tankies?", Where Have All The Patronymics Gone, Neil Gaiman memes, everybody's parasocial relationship with Lynda Carter getting worse, Teen Vogue Thinkpiece: Did People Of Colour Not Exist In 1973?, Wikipedia editors asking Tumblr to please stop trying to vandalize legitimate information sites, covid truthers and Tankies getting riled up about Wikipedia being called a legit information site, "WHY AREN'T YOU TAGGING THIS SHIT UNREALITY??" "Stfu that's not even what the unreality tag is for!", Calling Goncharov Gaslighting Is Ableist Actually, covid truthers maintaining that Goncharov isn't disinformation because that's what the govt does, Tankies agreeing, SCORCESE ADMITTED IT! IT'S NOT DISINFORMATION NOW!, "No wait it's not real!" "It's not??" "Well, Francesca Scorcese is real–" "–someone hallucinated Francesca Scorcese–??", #meme-is-real-movie-is-fake "oh okay see? That works", #factual-information-about-a-fake-movie-we're-doing-for-a-joke "oh god no", "I see your psychotic person who needs tags and raise you my psychotic person who's triggered by them!", "SEE? IT'S ALL PERFORMATIVE BULLSHIT!" "OMG JUST SAY YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT DISABLED PEOPLE AND GO!", "Hold up there's more than 30k notes on this post now. Where's our movie, bitch?" "It's been TWO DAYS" "Yeah and? Ya wanna sleep with the fishes?", "STOP HARRASSING NEIL GAIMAN!", #factual-information-about-a-fake-movie-we're-doing-for-a-joke, "JUST TAG IT UNREALITY!" I hate this hellsiteasdfghjkhjhhjjjjj

Oh hey, Homestuck 2 updated! I was expecting this to be an 11/11 update since that's a Homestuck arc number, but it's the least important of those by far.

Egads! What a despicable plan, devised by a devilish dame with a dastardly disposition. The wretched wiles of a wayward woman with a penchant for the wicked. A hullabaloo most hideous and heinous, hammered out by-

One of the biggest mysteries of Homestuck 2 is who's narrating Candyland with Calliope gone, and the more narration-heavy style of the new team is really calling attention to that. This is very flanderized Jake English dialogue. Also a dramatically more active Jake English than we've seen all...ever?

Under no circumstances can you allow her to get to The Point.

Gonna have fun with that MacGuffin name, huh, writers? It occurs to me that Jake was supposedly a spy the whole time but this is the first indication that he's actually been telling the resistance anything instead of just calling himself a spy as a cope.

I like this art a lot. But also what the hell is Meenah doing here? Last time we saw her, in the epilogues, she was out in space and stole the Ring of Life from John before escaping into a server beacon. Did it lead her into the black hole (lmao get owned), or is this an alternate timeline ghosts? Are her eyes closed in order to drag out that reveal?

JAKE: Shit, sergeant! Cant you add her to the groupcrab? MEENAH: groupcrab MEENAH: cod damn thats good MEENAH: i just been callin em prawnference calls

As fish puns go, "Prawnference calls" is excellent.

MEENAH: idk but hypothetically speaking if i was posted up in my big mean bitch pants just gettin my empress on and you told me insturgeonts were tryin to shore up on some kinda mythic skaian artifact

So, Meenah has her eyes closed to prevent me from knowing if this is the alpha version or a doomed ghost, and now she's dropping very vague hints about what the plot point is. This does feel very homestuck, in that it's teasing out the reveals to maximize speculation. Skaia is, of course, related to SBURB, and thus this is confirmation of the fandom assumption that they're going to start a new game, without actually saying much else.

I have no idea why this air vent is Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff style, but Vriska kicking the sound affect is still funny.

The comedy quotient has increased notably under the new team.

VRISKA: John, she's a Vriska. She can handle herself! I'm sure she can take anything this fake-ass timeline can throw at her! JOHN: what?

Wait, John doesn't know? I thought "Everyone 'knows' candyland is fake and that why they're acting so weird they're just LARPing" was kind of my headcanon for a lot of the weirder candy stuff.

VRISKA: This whole universe is like someone's shitty RP, and everyone's out of character! None of this reads! VRISKA: Like, who the FUCK is Yiffy!!!!!!!! Why should I or anyone CARE????????

I'm so meta even this acronym

JOHN: a long time ago i was supposed to go back and defea- VRISKA: SNOOOOOOOORE! VRISKA: Your ecto-human-guardian-si8ling or whatever is pro8a8ly sending a squad of 8ozos to apprehend your ex as we speak. So I say the less we talk and the sooner we 8low this gru8sickle stand, the sooner we can get there 8efore we lose access to our shortcut. JOHN: yeah when you spell it all out like that i can see what y- JOHN: wait, WHAT!!! JOHN: why didn't you just say that earlier?! VRISKA: John. That's what I've 8een doing this whole time! VRISKA: Now, c'mon! Race you there!!!!!!!!

I don't ship them or anything, but this John/Vriska dynamic where John is kind of the oblivious straight man to all this wacky nonsense is one that Homestuck has been very light on since Act 6.

That was a good update. It was funny, it moved the plot along, and it gave us stuff to speculate about! And the art was really good!

#Homestuck 2 #We're so back

Headcanon notes about Fódlani diaspora populations outside of Fódlan

Scothaic ("excellent/elite" in Irish, endonym): northerners from Nemesis Dynasty who fled to Dagda (with the help of Brigidans)

Qispichisqa ("rescued" in Quechua, exonym but eventually adopted by the group): Adrestians from the counter-invasion following First Mach War who didn't (couldn't) return to Fódlan

Akbunuzi ("white horn" in Turkic, exonym): refugees of Sreng-Faerghus conflict, with largest populations in northwestern Almyra

Fideli ("faithful" in Italian, endonym): Southern Church exiles, with largest populations in southernwestern Almyra

Bazargani/Tajari depending on the region ("sell/trade/merchants" in Persian and Arabic, technically exonym but plenty adopted it for themselves): descendants of Leicesterian merchants in Almyra who continue to speak the language

My worldbuilding is that the Dagdans from the First Mach War and Dagdans from the more recent war are actually entirely different groups btw. First one, which I'll call Middle Dagda, is based on Teotihuacan (+other city states across Mesoamerica under its influence), second, which I'll call Lower Dagda, is based on the Inca Empire (except it's on the east coast on the continent instead of west). Although people in the two regions are aware of each other due to trade through Brigid (think of them as Pacific Islands in the Atlantic), the civilizations emerged independently and don't consider themselves to be part of the same group.

More about the diaspora populations under the cut

Scothaics fled from Fódlan to Middle Dagda late in the War of Heroes, and they were originally reviled by Middle Dagdans due to their "barbaric" cultures + bringing over all kinds of diseases. But elites of Middle Dagda soon realized their unsavory reputations made them useful soldiers, which resulted in many Scothaics rising in status through battles, and after a few hundred years of intermarriage they came to be considered just one of the many ethnic groups in Middle Dagda by others there.

Still, many Scothaics clung on their cultural identity as people of Nemesis' Fódlan, and the idea that they should retake the continent from Adrestians (even if they'd rule from Dagda upon succeeding) remained popular among them; they were one of the (but not the only) major factions within Middle Dagda who pushed for the First Mach War. Other Middle Dagdans think Scothaics are LARPing whenever they do the "we were Elites n shit" because by all means they've completely integrated into Middle Dagda now, but they let them have it because it can be politically useful.

Qispichisqas were Adrestians in the post-First Mach War Dagda exploration parties who made their way past Middle Dagda (their recent enemies) to the mountains of Lower Dagda, then got trapped there. The Adrestian government made no effort to retrieve them, but they were saved by the ruler of a prominent city-state near a lake, who they swore undying allegiance to. As that city-state expanded to an empire spanning north and south of the Lower Dagdan coast, they also began to deify the ruler, which was adopted and spread enthusiastically by the Qispichisqa, as it was similar to what the Adrestian emperors liked to do. As a result, the Qispichisqa hold a syncretic faith that's a fusion of early~middle Church of Seiros practices and Lower Dagdan religion.

At the time of canon, they still consider themselves to be followers of Sothis, but they also believe that their ruler is the rightful ruler over followers of the goddess, not the Adrestian emperor; from their view, the current Adrestia (and Fódlan as a whole) has strayed too far from the faith. Qispichisqa don't have a "retake the land" thing going on like the Scothaics because they consider Lower Dagda to be their home and holy land now, but they certainly had no qualms about invading Fódlan once their ruler ordered, either.

Scothaics and Qispichisqas do not get along if they meet each other, and do not consider themselves to part of the same demographic, whether that's Fódlani or Dagdan, mostly for religious reasons. That being said, they don't come into contact with one another that often; again, Lower and Middle Dagda are pretty far away from one another, and the geography would make a war between them very cumbersome, so the two regions try to not step on each other's toes. Sometimes they have scuffles over Brigid, but when that happens both armies are usually more preoccupied with killing Brigidans.

As you might expect from that, Brigidans do not like Scothaics or Qispichisqas alongside other Middle/Lower Dagdans and Fódlanis, and many not-so jokingly say that their ancestors helping Scothaics escape to Dagda was their worst mistake.

Akbunuzis are northern Faerghans in Almyra who crossed the Whitehorn Sea to flee the Faerghus-Sreng conflict, starting at or before 892 with new waves coming in every so often. The community is very poor, with many turning to crime for survival; as a result they have a poor reputation among larger Almyran society. Despite Almyra already being a multi-ethnic and cultural society, the government didn't make much effort to try and integrate the Akbunuzi, partially because they tend to be religiously and culturally rigid, mostly because the government needs there to be criminals for the military to hunt in order to advance their careers and recent immigrants made for easy targets.

Some Akbunuzi attempt to return to Faerghus, but reality is harsh, they are scorned there, too, for being "too Srengi" (as northern and northwestern Almyra also has lots of Srengis or similar ethnic groups and is strongly influenced by their culture + there's some intermarriage) and/or "too Almyran."

Fidelis are Southern Church Adrestians who supported Victoria von Hrym in 1065 and were subsequently exiled. Some went to the Eastern Church in Leicester, but others crossed the Pearl Sea to southwestern Almyra. Fideli are also known for not integrating into Almyran society, and are even more insular than the Akbunuzi. Many have "taking Adrestia back from heretics on the promised day" as their goal, and as a result religious extremism and indoctrination is very rampant within the community; they also have very high birthrates, and other Almyrans often scorn them by calling them biohazards/pests.

Some spread malicious rumors about beliefs of Church of Seiros after bad encounters with the Fideli, and the government makes little effort to dispel those, or to deradicalize and integrate Fidelis; partially because, again, it's legitimately difficult, but also because fueling prejudice towards easy targets is useful for staying in power and justifying constant military operations at the border.

People who identify as Bazarganis/Tajaris, aka Leicesterian-Almyrans in specific instead of just Almyrans with general Fódlani ancestry, usually have ancestors who moved to Almyra after the Leicester Rebellion of 801 at the earliest and mostly during~after the Crescent Moon War in 881. That being said, a lot of Almyrans with Leicesterian ancestry don't identify as Bazargani/Tajari after a few generations; most of their families were fairly well-off merchants who came to Almyra for economic opportunities, so many quickly changed religions and intermarried/integrated into ethnic groups that would provide them better connections.

Because the language(s) of Almyra and Leicester already overlap, Bazargani/Tajari identification is based mostly on religion; usually those who call themselves such are involved in businesses that sell across the border, necessiating that they stay in touch with their homelands.

Akbunuzis, Fidelis, and Bazarganis/Tajaris absolutely do not get along with one another, as old grudges and prejudices carried over from Fódlan gets amplified by the differences in socioeconomic conditions in Almyra.

Akbunuzis think Fidelis give their faith a bad name and that Bazarganjs/Tajaris are selfish and irresponsible for being rich yet not helping other Fódlani-Almyrans; Fidelis hate Akbunuzis for being "enemies of the Saints" (because they're descendants of northerners) and Bazarganis/Tajaris for being unfaithful/apostates/etc; and Bazarganis/Tajaris don't want to be associated with the "backwards and uneducated" Akbunuzis and Fidelis under the umbrella label of Fódlani. Things often get ugly between the communities if news of something happening in Fódlan reaches them, with violence/riots being an expected occurence. The reaction of larger Almyran society to such incidents is usually something like, "oh look the barbarians are being barbaric again, but why do they have to do it in our country."

That being said, the three populations do have something in common, and it's that they tend to not serve in the Almyran military. For Akbunuzis, it's because making money from crime is easier than signing up for the military, and if they try to sign up later, they'll get screened and cut and arrested because of the criminal records/connections. For Fidelis, it's for religious reasons; they won't serve a master other than the goddess and they won't fight for a cause other than taking back Adrestia from the heretics. For Bazarganis/Tajaris, they usually pay instead of sending soldiers, which is legal and the government lets them, but socially, it's a bad look— that's exactly where the stereotype of Fódlanis being cowards come from, and many see it as sign that their allegiances lie with their Fódlani homelands rather than Almyra.

Things presumably get better post-canon once Claude takes the throne; it wouldn't be easy, but getting people with Adrestian and Faerghan heritage on his side was probably good for diplomacy with Fódlan, too.

imagine an AU where Natsuo and Tomura are painfully aware Dabi's Todoroki Touya and think everyone else knows it too but they just don't speak about it because it's uncomfortable for all parties involved

Natsuo, to Shouto after Shouto's class was attacked by Dabi: Man, you gotta hand it to Touya - even after (presumably accidentally) faking his death, he's still holding on tight to his principles. Well, as much as fratricide can be a principle.

And Shouto just thinks it's either a sick joke or a conspiracy theory lmao

Natsuo, casually leaving this message on Endeavor's phone: Hey, so uh... I saw you just got pummeled by Touya on live TV. Not that I don't appreciate the method acting but you two are taking it a bit too far, don't you think? Like, I know you've got your little dramatic hero versus villain thing going on but the property destruction rates are getting out of hand. When you see Touya the next time, tell him I said hi and that he needs to watch where he's aiming his fire. Also, for fuck's sake, tell him to properly clean between his skin grafts and his healthy skin! And uh... guess as a good son I'd have to tell you to recover soon... so I won't. Bye.

and then there's Tomura

Tomura, visibly cringing at what he presumes to be a LARPing moment between Endeavor and Dabi: This is so overdramatic, what the hell.

and then

Tomura, snapping one day: By god, can you please for a moment stop letting your daddy issues run the show? I'm trying to lead an anarchist movement against the government and all you think about is how to kill off your old man! It's getting old, to be honest.

The rest of the League, including Dabi, staring in open-mouthed shock at Tomura: :0

One day, Natsuo just appears in the League hideout because he's sick of waiting for Touya to make his first move.

Natsuo, with a gigantic care package under his arm: I know, I know. You hate it when I don't give you time to do things on your own but, seriously Touya, ten years? That's a bit excessive even for you.

Spinner, eyeing Dabi: I'm starting to think our leader might be onto something when he called Dabi Endeavor's son...

Tomura, absolutely done with trying to point out the extremely obvious connection between Endeavor and Dabi (and still kinda thinking everyone's trying to pull his leg when they say he's crazy for thinking Dabi's Touya): Hello, I'm Shigaraki Tomura. You must be Dabi's brother, right? He doesn't tell us shit about you because he's denying being Todoroki Touya. At this point, I'm tempted to kick him out of the League because it makes me cringe way too hard and my eczema can't handle being pulled apart by appalled expressions so much. I researched your family. You're a med student, right? We're in desperate need for a healer, please join us and set your brother straight. Please.

Natsuo, who's been committing arson against anyone who funds Endeavor or his merch since he was thirteen: Yeah, sure. But what do you mean he's denying being Touya? It's painfully obvious he is! He's not even trying to mask ANY of his distinct features. The eyes that are the same colour as Endeavor's? The blue fire quirk? The obvious way too deep hatred for our dad? The bad hair dye? The fact that his lashes are dark red? The tap dance thingy he's been doing? Of course, you couldn't know about the last thing but I'm starting to think everyone's an idiot. It's so obvious. Touya, you didn't think I wouldn't recognize you, did you? Cuz if you did you're even more oblivious than Shouto.

Tomura, smiling genuinely for the first time in ten years: Natsuo, I know you've been a part of the League for less than a minute but I'm promoting you to vice commander. Dabi, fuck off, your brother is clearly superior in every way. Hey, Natsuo, do you have a Steam acc?

#mha au #my hero academia #dabi #mha #bnha #todoroki touya #mha au idea #bnha shigaraki #shigaraki tomura #todoroki natsuo

Hey! I’m not sure if Yuumori has confirmed this, but is the “Lord of Crime” persona actually part of who William really is (like a darker side to his personality)? Or, was it all a mask to hide his kind self? After The Final Problem, it seems like William has not shown that darker side of himself and has become much softer and gentle. Was he truly like this all along? Sorry if my question doesn’t make sense, English is not my first language.

This is an odd question to me. YuuMori has never addressed this because this isn't really a question. The Lord of Crime is not its own entity. He doesn't have a personality. It's just...a thing William does.

The Lord of Crime is just a character William made up to serve his purposes in the narrative he's trying to push to save the country. And because of the way it works, he and his brothers occasionally have to take on the role of this character.

But like. That's just LARPing.

And as much as I love Liam, he's not much of a character writer. The Lord of Crime is pretty personality-less.

William is a silly, kind, showboat of a man who plays his cards so close to his chest he can't see them anymore and honestly forgot what the cards were. But that doesn't mean he's using the Lord of Crime as a mask: pretty much the only people he acts as him in front of are people who are about to die (and thus don't matter), and Sherlock, who already knows and whom he's playing a game (see: LARPing) with.

William has the same personality really whatever he's doing: he's kind and loving and dramatic and intentionally annoying and domineering. He scares the shit out of his students even while he protects them and he ignores his friends and brothers even while ensuring they're in the best possible position and he protects his clients even as he murders people. He was kind and gentle from the start (but also awkward and annoying from the start: seriously, go read volume one again; you can see him barge into his student's dorm, but also go out of his way to protect one of them on his own initiative).

And even after the time skip, he's got a lot of that still going on. Sure, he's less domineering, which is good, because he was overbearing to the point of steamrolling over very reasonable objections from people he cares for deeply. But that's character growth, not dropping a mask.

Anyway, his silly little LARP character is dead now, so he has to actually act as himself. So the actions he used to take for the Lord of Crime don't happen. But he himself is still the same person as ever, and the same person he's always shown himself to be.

Functionally, this is not a lot different than asking if the Consulting Detective is a part of Sherlock or a mask. Or Mycroft's role as the intelligence director. Like, IDK, not really either?

what would you say are the biggest fandoms you've been in besides star wars?

Let's see -- I think I can count Tolkien as fandom, but it was before a lot of internet spaces became what they are, or I had such abundant online access, so I was a member of our local Tolkien club. For it, we had our own online forum and events. (Gasp, actually meeting other nerds in real life!) I went to my first larp through them, participated in seminars (I still have the notes to the one about the history of the Middle-Earth) and wrote my end of high school research paper about The vision of death and afterlife for Elves and Men in Middle-Earth at the third age.

Then I was going through a really shit time in life and stumbled upon Supernatural and I hyperfixated hard. :D I still stand by the fact that the first three seasons are amazing. It had all I could want -- complicated relationships, pretty damaged boys, urban legends with a twist, a car to drool over and an exceptional soundtrack of classic rock. I also started writing fanfiction, and we had a really great community on livejournal for a while. (It was super painful when the later seasons dropped the ball and eventually plain out sucked. 😥)

Then the MCU became a thing and hello, Tony Stark in that cave scene is just 👀👀👀

My first bigger ship in MCU was Stucky (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes) and I loved all the angst and whump, delicious, I say. Eventually Thor came around and when I saw those pseudo brothers with a fucked up relationship and hurting each other, while loving each other so, I just had to have them as my blorbos. (Do you see a theme here? :D) So Thorki (Thor/Loki) became my main pairing for a good chunk of time.

Then I had some smaller fandoms and was too busy with real life until I rewatched Star Wars prequels and was like -- First of all: Surely Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fucked at some point? Second of all: Has nobody else noticed this insane sexual tension and romance between Anakin and Obi-Wan??!! And to answer my questions I opened the internet and found out that there was indeed an entire Obikin fandom, and I've been here ever since.

Thank you for the ask! 🖤

So without further ado here’s an introductory post/timeline of major events for the Neo Hellenic systems (working title)

A NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY

1) A.C. And B.C. Are how I will be messaging time. These a stand for after contact and before contact. You will find out what contact is soon.

2) I frequently use the term ‘cult’ in this world. When I say cult I mean in it the ancient greek sense, Monolatrous temple orders.

3) please do not tell me I misunderstand greek mythology when it comes to olympians and especially hades, I know my shit. This is a twist on them.

Ok let’s go. Oh also current year, 6050 A.C.

The Ascension of Trismegistus:

One of the most important figures in Hermetic magic, the main form of magic used, is the mythical figure Hermes Trismegistus. The hermetics tell us that Trismegistus was once a normal man but due to his intelligence and discoveries he made Trismegistus achieved a higher state of being. Before he left the mortal world he scattered his knowledge across the galaxy in huge emerald tablets. The common interpretation is that Trismegistus then became part of the god hermes.

These tablets contain esoteric knowledge needed for magic and are written In a language known as Esoteric Trismegistian, which the Hermetics have decoded. The hermetics will get much more detail later just you wait my little summer children.

Before contact:

Much of humanity’s last days before contact are sort of hazy. Mainly because most of the records are missing. The most important thing though is that humanity had spread out across the Solar system. Unfortunately, despite knowing and having the technology for faster than light travel however it was imprecise and most experiments with it would leave to stranding or death (theres actually a number of stranded ships floating around that are hives of pre contact material. So humanity was stuck, with the ability to travel far but not the capability

The discovery of valentinium (5 b.c.):

On the moons of Jupiter a group of five explorers and scientists were investigating odd magnetic anomalies. There they found a huge deposit of an unknown metal with completely unique magnetic properties. The leader of this expedition, Leonard Valentine, named the metal Valentinium.

After experimentation it was discovered that Valentinium’s unique properties allowed it to basically be coded to act as a compass across lightyears of distance. With the occasional discrepancy of roughly 1 picometer. With this some engineers created the first of what we now call Star Compasses, a huge computer like device that can determine a course and direction with near perfection. In order to show off the power of the star compass Valentine climbed into a one man ship to take a quick trip and back which was meant to last a day.

The return of Valentine (0 C)

Valentine disappeared for five years. We don’t know how people reacted to this as we dint have many sources from the time that aren’t early hermetics discussing the first and second emerald tablets (which were found on Earth and Venus). Then Valentine returned, appearing in Earth’s orbit. Valentine had been missing for five years and when he was able to speak again he explained that he had encountered something amazing.

Valentine claimed he had spoken to and met the gods of greek mythology. The twelve olympians, and a number of the minor gods. He had also been informed of the coming threat of demons. This was also the start of the use of the six classes of intelligence.

Note: these are defintely not the actual greek gods. These are a bunch of analogous horrific elder gods.

This basically changed everything. And after enough time humanity basically turned into greek LARPing space people now with FTL travel and renewed faith.

Emergence of demons and the fanaticism of the cults (72 A.C.):

In 72 A.C. a tear in space opened and a bunch of demons emerged from Tartarus. These demons are fucking dangerous and they basically haven’t stopped appearing since. By this point there was some monolatrous worship of the olympians but the demons made it much bugger when the so called ‘Order of Artemis’ approached a bunch of hephaestus worshippers and asked them to make them weapons to kill the demons.

This is the start of modern cultism, with the cults of the gods usually specialising in one thing. (Expect a big post on this down the line).

The founding of the hermetics (231 A.C.):

The Hermetics, the cult of Hermes, formally became an order in 231 AC. The Hermetics were based on the planet of Theseus where they had founded Tablet 5, the largest known about tablet. The Hermetics use a form of magic based around occultism and rituals. They have a lot of sigils, incense, chanting and rituals. They also keep basically all the knowledge on the olympians. A lot of Hermetics are tattooed with sigils and notation to help them with their magic.

The Olympian War (3466-3550 A.C.):

So by the time of the olympian war the cults had all gotten pretty zealous: the hermetics were off doing magic, the order of artemis were hunting demons and cutting off the genitals of men who acted as their record keepers and clerks, the followers of apollo were being secular historians and Poseidon’s worshippers were busy doing space navigation.

However the two cults that started the war were the cult of Hera and the Hephaestians (the followers of Hephaestus. For context on these two:

the cult of Hera have always viewed themselves as a sort of humanity centric inquisitorial group. They view hera as ‘the mother of man’ and therefore the preservation of humanity and the soul and body as incredibly important, in fact the phrase often used by the cult of hera when they kill people is “by the grace of my soul given to me by the mother of man I sentence you to die.”

The Hepaestians meanwhile, are basically the super adeptus mechanicus from warhammer. They create most of the technology in the systems. They also love making themselves into technology infused monstrosities. Their chant is, ‘The flesh fuels the forge, the forge renews the flesh.’

So these two groups hate each other, a lot. And they went to war with most of the cults taking sides except for the hermetics, the thanatosians and the cult of Aries (who were really not that big at the time). The Hephaestians claim that during the war Hephaestus himself appeared above Forge-1 (the main planet of the group) in form of a giant man made of metal, molten metal and fire and told them they were righteous. In order to stop this a bunch of independent planets and even civilian planets who were technically being ruled by the cults combined forces to basically force a ceasefire. There was a lot of death and even in the modern time theres a lot of impacts of the war felt.

The cult of demeter died out in the war

The Nemean Lion Charter (3550 A.C.):

After the end of the olympian war was forced by an alliance of planets the leaders of the cults and the united planets boarded a space system named The Nemean Lion and wrote a huge treaty dictating what would happen after the war. What was determined was that most of the cults would disarm, except for the hermetics, order of artemis, thanatosians and the cult or Aries. Furthermore all planets under the rule of the cults would be taken from them, leaving them with usually 1-3 each. Instead many planets, without a large force to protect them, united into ‘Poleis’, unions of small groups of planets who act as one political entity. This is also where the aristocracy of the systems started becoming more powerful.

The disappearance of the dionysians (3552 A.C.):

one cult were very mad about being told to disarm. The cult of dionysus, the strange mystery cult of hedonism. The dionysians were told to disarm and withdraw multiple times, and instead of listening they piled themselves onto a huge ship and a fleet of smaller ships and, along with the Hecatian Mystics (who are a different order of magic users), disappeared somewhere far off the maps. And no one thought of them that much.

The manifestation of Hermes (4550 A.C.):

So, Theseus was the main home of the Hermetics. Key word, WAS. After the end of the Olympian war a new philosophy had taken hold in the Hermetics, that it could be possible to become one with Hermes, as Trismegistus did, but through basically summoning oneself into Hermes.

After ages of setting things up, the Hermetics eventually made an attempt at this ritual. On Theseus, in front of Tablet 5.

It worked, kind of. Unfortunately for the Hermetics they summoned Hermes. And a planet sized, twelve winged man made of light wielding a huge snake entwined staff appeared. And Hermes reached out from space. And Theseus was obliterated, reduced to dust in a second, before Hermes disappeared.

The manifestation of Hermes is seen as the true reinforcing of faith, as an Olympian itself appeared before humanity. Strangely, nothing else was affected by Hermes blowing up Theseus. There were ships near the planet who witnessed everything and were unaffected, the planets near theseus saw it all happen but were not affected.

Modern Hermetics, now very cautious and often given rules on their practice on many settled planets, maintain that the ritual itself was done incorrectly but was not misguided.

The rise of Alexander (6035 A.C.):

Out in far reaches of the systems is a Planet named Ozymandias. Almost completely irrelevant except for two details, it is where the Cult of Aries stationed themselves after the Olympian war and that the Nemean Lion was stationed there during the treaty discussions.

30years ago a man was born on Ozymandias, the son of the planet’s ‘Tyrant’ (a term used to described an autocratic ruler of a planet, not necessarily a bad one.) at the age of 15 this boy’s father died and he took power as the Tyrant of Ozymandias. He changed his name to Alexander and set about establishing an empire. Including negotiating a deal with the cult of Aries to become his personal elite army, on top of his regular army.

This was the start of Alexander’s empire, sometimes called the Ozymandian Union. A huge, effective military force slowly conquering planets and Poleis. To counter Alexander theres more and more unions of Poleis and factions forming.

The Return of the Dionysians (6045 A.C.):

The Dionysians returned. Five years ago the cult who disappeared returned. Now a centralised, powerful force of religious zealots. The Dionysians and Hecatian Mystics have combined into one, leading to a powerful military force with access to magic no one else is familiar with (Hecatian Magic has always been far less popular than Hermeticism).

The cult claim that they managed to summon and kill Dionysus and gained unimaginable power through drinking his blood. No one has confirmed this, as no one dares go into the centre of the cult’s power.

The Dionysians believe that humanity should become one. Literally. Using the flesh crafting power they possess they shape and fuse unfortunate people into ‘euphorias’, giant single minded flesh blobs and sculptures. The Dionysians are spreading, and they are winning most of the conflicts they take part in.

So thats a basic overview of major events and should provide a good baseline. I will answer questions and more posts will be made.

⋆ NAME?: Kadi! Kadian if you wanna do the internet equivalent of using 'first name middle name' like you're my mother.

⋆ PRONOUNS?: she/they

⋆ MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: hel has been here since 2017 and she has no intention of going anywhere, near as i can tell. gale and cyra have also been quite loud of late, and crane pops up his head like a whackamole perennially.

⋆ RP PET PEEVES?: lotta misogyny and biphobia in the community masquerading as diversity. no that doesn't mean saying your muse is gay. i'm talking canonically bi/pan characters getting their important or romantic dynamics with women totally devalued or stripped, or even having across the board m/f relationship bans on the belief it's 'het.' i'm not even bi and i'm sick of that shit. don't even get me started on 'girlboss' and 'team mom' and 'too good for the boys' being the new pedestal installed over 'ew why would a sexy seme/uke-kun ever touch a nasty vageena, women suck.'

⋆ EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: it's been 11 or 12 years on tumblr alone. before that, lot of gaiaonline. before that, deviantart. before that, lots of chatrooms and forums. before that, larping lotr on the playground with the few kids that could stand my maladjusted ass.

⋆ FLUFF, ANGST, OR S.MUT?: fluff and angst all day every day. i'm so bad at smut. every time i have done a smut meme on this blog it's largely foreplay or afterglow. it's not even like i'm embarrassed or repressed, i just know when to fold em as an author, and smut is it. i can do angst or fluff all day though so long as it's compelling/serves characters or narrative.

⋆ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: start short and work my way up. genuinely cannot start with multipara but boy howdy i can be there as early as reply 3.

⋆ TIME TO WRITE?: whenever the cold unfeeling grip of capitalism releases its hold on me that i might sit down and churn something out. it used to be daily but that was several jobs ago.

@zombiethingy and @steddieas-shegoes both tagged me!!! Thanks for the tags <3 <3 <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

25! All from this year <3 6 of them are microfics but everything else is around 1K - 21K! I've never in my life written this much lmao

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

129,098! That's a lot for me <3

3. What fandoms do you write for?

So far just Stranger Things!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Still Motion (Paraphilia 01)

Last Man Standing (First fic in the LARP AU series)

Between Light and Darkness (First in the Vampire Eddie series)

Acceptance and Negation (Paraphilia 02)

Hell Patrol (First in the Apocalypse AU series)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes!!! There's only one or two I didn't and that's because they were rude

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't think any of mine have an angsty ending tbh... Mostly because I write a lot of porn but also because even when I write for myself to vent there needs to be a way through all of the horrible shit. Otherwise I'm just adding stress to my life!

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'd say they're all fairly happy with a similar type of end goal! HOWEVER....... there's one I have planned that might stand above the rest in terms of happy endings, but it's like... a long term project that I have no idea when I'm even going to properly start.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

So far I haven't! I usually moderate comments, and the rude ones I got were more of the 'you clearly missed the mark of what I wrote' or not finding a polite/nice way of asking me to continue writing the fic

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

Yes! The realistically unrealistic kind! Also, usually involves some kind of BDSM or kink related thing.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I won't say I'll never do it but I don't even have another fandom I'd be willing to write for at this time, let alone smash them together.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, unless I haven't come across it! I think it's cool if someone gets inspired by something I write though, especially anything that's not already common in ST fandom!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but it'd be cool if someone wants to!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I haven't! I've like.... done a lot of yelling about potential things to write though. I have a lot of WIPs because of some of you LMAO I think the actual writing part of things is a very solitary activity for me usually, but I'm open to trying something short and sweet with someone (if things like time and energy line up as well)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Steddie, if we don't consider fandoms I'm no longer actively reading things for! However I'm pretty easy to please, I love Steve and Eddie as characters and so seeing them in other ships (like Stommy and Hellcheer or a threesome version etc) is always a good time!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have two fics I started writing before I wrote the first one I published. They're important to me and also my writing has changed so much that I'm scared to even try editing them, because I don't want them to lose that specific thing they have that I might not be able to conjure back up.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Tension, when I get it right, it becomes the best thing about what I've written, no matter what the context is! Also I keep finding I write gay sex between two friends who are in love but just haven't Gotten To That Part yet, so I'd also say an emotional slowburn but a sexual flashfire.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Outlining, keeping up with motivation if I at all try to organize or plan in on purpose. I have to trick myself, like hiding a little pill in a piece of cheese, in order to have planning and organization in a fic. That's part of the reason why I operate in series instead of really long multi-chapter fics, because that's one way I can hide the pill from myself.

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

I haven't ever and I don't know if I'd be confident enough in my resources to do that! But it's cool when other people do.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

...so I was like 11 years old writing Inuyasha and Kagome...

ST is the first fandom I've published for in over a decade AND it's the first fandom that I've published more than one fic for.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

That's really hard to answer. I really like a lot of aspects from all of them! Dive (microfic, july prompt "pool", body worship) was my favourite for ages, though. And it's still my fave microfic for sure!!

Acceptance and Negation might be my favourite longer fic, there's just something about the antagonism and complicated feelings about being so horny over everything that I find really fun to write!

No pressure tags!!!! @vecnuthy @wormdebut @hbyrde36 @penny00dreadful @stobinesque and anyone who wants to do it! <3

「 GET TO KNOW YOUR RP PARTNER! 」

( repost, please don’t reblog )

「BASICS」

▐ NAME: – Jade▐ PRONOUNS: – she/her || They Them▐ SEXUALITY: – ALL THE HANDSOME AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE▐ TAKEN OR SINGLE: – Taken▐ FIVE FACTS:

If I'm about to go to bed or do something else, but see that there's a reply for me??? Fuck bed and fuck doing that something else. I gotta reply!

I'm the oldest but a lot of people probably think I'm the youngest 🤷‍♂️

HEY If I'm 4'9 does that mean I get you kick anyone's shin for being rude to me?

My dog is my whole world. She will always be put first because she's my BABY! LULU IF YOU'RE READING THIS I LOVE YOU <3

Kdramas? Anime? BUT KDRAMAS? yes please. It's a way for me to stay connected with my Korean side as well helps me brush up on the language as well!

「EXPERIENCE」

▐ HOW LONG (YEARS/MONTHS): – Rping? Uhhhhh, I started when I was in Elementary. I'm 32 now.

▐ PLATFORMS USED: – In person (LARPING). It was Digimon, Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, BeyBlade and all them jazz. Then it was writing in Person with a friend in Middle school lol, then LARPING again in HS here and there. Myspace, Skype, Tumblr.

▐ BEST EXPERIENCE: –I love when there's like different kind of relationship between people. Whether they're canons or OCs or MIXED into both! Those are the best kind of experience. Something you wouldn't in a world full of canon characters or whatnot.

「MUSE PREFERENCES」

▐ MALE/FEMALE/OTHER: – I don't have any preference TBH

▐ FAVORITE FACECLAIM: –I also don't have a fave faceclaim. BUT

Sunny says this icon looks like the fricker emoji. iykyk

▐ FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: –Not so much smut but I'll do it considering some of the characters I have. BUT I like ALL the different kinds. Fluff, Angst, comedic gold, etc!

▐ PLOTS OR MEMES: –I think they're both neat tbh. When you can't think of a plot, a meme is the best way to go as an alternative. You can use whatever meme as the idea for a plot!

▐ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I lik both actually. but I also think that I do better when they're not SO long. For long replies I gotta be ready and in the mood for them BUT I'm also the kind of person who can't NOT reply to a thread when they show up sooooooooooo >.>

▐ BEST TIME TO WRITE: – When I am not so sleepy. But I'm always writing and doing replies and stuff

▐ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: – YEAH, I'd say in some way or another I am a lot like my muses. I do tend to kinda sprinkle some of my shit onto them. It tends to bleed through I GUESS?
