Mx. FicSex, thank you so much for your blog! I hope this is a kind a supportive ask and not a bugging one, but I've noticed that you post really sporadically, and I wondered if you've ever considered using the queue function, to space out your answers? That way, your blog could have more consistent content, and maybe you wouldn't have to post so often!

Hey anon - I do use the queue - that's why when there's a burst of content, you get two a day for a few days in a few, and not six answers all at once.

I have a full time job, two part time jobs, two community volunteer positions, a needs-a-bunch-of-work house, four partners, three cats, and a hell of a combo of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am not going to promise you that I'm "doing my best" at keeping up on this blog, because the truth is that this blog is my literal, absolute lowest priority item. I could space out the queue items more, and have just one post a day, but that wouldn't change much either.

Followers will just need to be okay with this being super sporadic, because that's not likely to change. Not being a butt-face here, I just want to be suuuuuper up-front. I love this blog, and I can't spend much more time on it than I do. But the time I do get to spend on it makes me really happy! And I hope it makes other people happy, too.

:)

hello! do u draw the maps and diagrams in the backgrounds on ur art by urself or do u use pre existing images or smth :0?

(like the map in ur most recent gaz work)

Haha, hell no! I could never have the patience or skill for that 🙆‍♀️ Most of my backgrounds for the latest COD art have been collage work. So for the Gaz one--I found a bunch of images through google and rearranged them how I wanted through mostly trial and error. yeah, if I had to draw a whole map of London by hand..💀

All these ones have backgrounds made through collage:

#asks #it's actually kinda hilarious that people think I draw the backgrounds 😅#my dudes #do you know how much time that would take 🙃🙃#gotta prioritize my pretty boys 'cause that's all I'm good for #I even showed my husband the gaz one #and he thought I drew the bg too #which I guess means he has a lot of faith in me 😂😂#I am simply a scrapbooker at heart~

You know, for a show with so many female characters that so many of us love given how they all get time in the spotlight one way or another and they fill that time up rather wonderfully since they are deeper and more developed than what we're used to seeing in general media, it is peculiar (to say the least) to see so few "alternative" ships to the main one.

I'm not saying the canon ship doesn't deserve its attention -- I'm wondering instead why the canon ship and it alone seem to guide the WN fans who just so happen to enjoy writing/reading fic or fanart or whatever.

You'd think all these cool women would inspire more ships or combinations thereof, but those of us who aren't invested in avatrice just... Float along, around one another, ignored (and, yes, mostly undisturbed too; being unpopular does have its advantages and that includes a lot less weirdos leaving you strange or awkward messages -- it does not, however, shield us from people flooding our goddamn tags on AO3 with fic that has nothing to do with our little ships and I do wish such negligence of the pairing itself meant we didn't have to deal with this spam...)

I am also not saying that fandom activity should be based solely on shipping (and recently someone on Reddit was rather confused by the fact that a lot of it is, which is quite an interesting topic to discuss in itself -- after all, there is more to fan creativity than shippy fic... Or there used to be), merely that, here, it appears that a canon relationship can outshine interest in the other, non-canon ones. It's already there and it was doubtless well-done by the show, so it's natural that it should claim people's attention, sure. It's just that being canon was never the parameter for whether people were interested in these or those two (or more) characters maybe being involved and trying to explore what that could mean through fanwork.

There has always been a complaint haunting fandom spaces concerning the minuscule amounts of f/f fic, art, discussion, w/e based on how few (interesting or sympathetic or relatable) female characters there are in media at large. So what I'm curious about is why fan creations made around WN -- a show that finally gives us a whole cast of female characters that are what we have been craving for decades -- don't also reflect its diversity.

There are alternative ships (I'm here, all happy in my tiny Doctor Superion bubble, and I know there are Camila/Lilith, Ava/Lilith, Mary/Shannon, Mary/Lilith shippers out there, so a warm hello to you if you're reading this), but go on AO3 and compare the numbers of things tagged with these proper pairings to the grand total of WN stories. Better (or worse) still, do so with the "otp: true" trick or simply by excluding avatrice from the search to see how many are left.

It's... A considerable difference. And a mystery, at least to me.

#tagging this as #warrior nun #simply because i'd like to talk about this and maybe some of you have thoughts or theories about it #i just ask you engage in good faith if you do. i'm not pointing fingers at avatrice people i think they're fine and dandy #i'm just -- to reiterate -- surprised at how little interest there is in other ships when the potential is all there #(is it because they're nuns? that never stopped avatrice so why should it stop others...)#(besides lilith is hardly still a nun after s2. bea left. mary didn't really take vows did she? you really thought i was a nun she says...)#meta fandom talk i guess #then again about the nun thing... i have noticed a lot of people just go for aus. i can't recall ever being in a fandom with SO many aus #is the religious aspect an issue by any chance? i also recall someone commenting on how little a part religion played in these aus #curious. very curious.#i imagine some of you are wondering why i care when i don't even read fic but --#-- to quote jillian salvius herself i am a curious person and well you are a curiosity lol

is it true you need to get a pigeon to recognize you as their mate so you can bond with them?

This has it kinda backwards. If a pigeon forms a social bond with you, and there aren't any pigeons around for them to hang out with, they will decide that you are their mate. You can form social bonds with paired pigeons or integrate yourself into a flock without any pigeons sight-mating with you. I would say I have social bonds with many of my loft birds, but they spend significantly more time with other pigeons, so they see me more as the weird big ape that hangs around the flock than anything else.

So you don't think there's a certain romantization of slavery at all? Like when Damen said to laurent 'I am your slave' was that not romantic? Or talking about the first night?

well yes, there is a romantization of the concept of elements of slavery between them as a couple on a personal level, nothing to do with the political aspect. it embodies the captive prince theme of duality; slavery can be both hot and romantic, while being something negative as a system in a society. both damen and laurent know damen is not a slave (as in, he wasn't groomed to be one) but a prince and will be a king very soon. so that's part fantasy of them, not a practical reality. they wouldn't marry if damen was still laurent's slave like by title/hadn't been freed or would be explicitly very soon/had been groomed as a slave like erasmus/wasn't a literal monarch.

they fell in love through slavery so its natural they'd be attached to that concept. doesn't mean damen's intentions of abolishing slavery as a sociopolitical and economic system are any less present in the text??? like at all????? both the theme and the kink are things can be and are true at the same time. it's called nuance in fact.

#what is this supposed to mean... like.......#i'm taking this ask in good faith. i hope i'm right #asks

don't artists usually charge a discounted rate for extra characters / couple's art...?

Sometimes yeah, and I used to, but I felt like I was dying on the cross every time I was trying to figure out how to have 2+ characters interacting in a piece together in a way that looks good to me AND the client AND doesn't obscure either of their bodies or outfits too much. and then I was like WAIT. THIS IS HARDER. so now I just charge full price per character.

#LIKE OH WAIT. IT'S *WORSE.*#why would I discount something that's more difficult to do!! I say!!!#if someone is ordering 2+ characters together in one piece or interacting some way. flat rate per char.#but if someone was ordering like. 3 or 4 characters SEPARATELY. like individual art of each of them #for like a lineup or an array of bust icons #and I don't have to do the 4d puzzle of figuring out how to draw bodies together properly #then I'd consider discounting for the multiple orders. I wouldn't mind doing that #sergle answers #I'm taking this ask in good faith that you aren't trying to insult my prices but if I'm wrong- and you ARE. then I KICK you #i SMASH you on a rock

Omg the f1 side of instagram and particularly the m*x fans are not passing the vibe check. I mean, of course if he's your favorite driver, you can be happy and express that in the comments but is it necessary to always bring up Lewis or merc domination? Or harass someone as soon as they express their opinion about m*x that does not fit the "golden boy/great white hope" image? I swear some are just proving themselves to be racist and misogynist, which considering the man they stan, well

#one woman says that she finds max to be rude to his engineer #you bet there will be men telling her to go back to the kitchen or that she doesn't know what's she watching #someone saying max is a spoiled child?#of course some will ask “are you sure you don't mean george?” or “lemme guess you're brit and a lewis fan”#like #i think i'm getting too used to tumblr and the ability to curate my own experience where i can filter tags and words #and block people #i take that for granted and will do it no more #want to lose faith in humanity or get mad? head to f1 insta comment section especially on a post with m*x #some still think mercedes domination was worse.#and are particularly bitter about said domination as if lewis had ran over their dog #seems to me like it's another issue at play here 🤐#anti max verstappen #anti verstappen #ofc this isn't an attack to all max fans #as i said if he's your fav you're happy and that's good for you #but some relate to him a bit too much if y'know what i mean #lewis hamilton

*it cut off my last tags which were: I don't know what I can do about this but in the meantime it's a struggle

#random personal stuff #back on my soapbox feel free to ignore #okay so I have been struggling a bit in the Sunday school class that I am being taken to #which is not surprising because I have been struggling socially in this church for the past year #it's a women's class taught by the pastor's wife but not all the women in the church are in it #most of them are middle-aged/elderly #what we're learning is perfectly fine #I appreciate that they're going through an epistle and not lecturing us on How To Be Good Wives and Mothers #but the other women will chime in with their thoughts in between discussions of doctrine #and it will be things like empty little slogans #(such as 'Choose joy!' or 'GodisgoodallthetimeandallthetimeGodisgood')#(not that there isn't any truth in those but they're used tritely)#or What The Lord Did For Me (or: My Life Is Perfectly Peachy)#or things that suggest their faith is all about never being upset by anything ever because you Have Peace #and I kind of wonder if this is a generational thing #because sometimes I'll call my mom with something that's troubling me #and she'll tell me things to the effect of 'just don't feel that way'#or 'ask the Lord to take it away'#which is kindly meant but ultimately ineffective in my experience #but anyway I'm sure these women mean what they say yet at the same time it just...feels insincere to me #as if as Christians we're just supposed to paste smiles on our faces and never have negative feelings #I'm not saying we should all come to class and dispense our personal dramas #but it feels like we're showing up and performing Niceness #and not allowing room for anything that isn't Easy Answers Positivity #and I sit there feeling like there's a huge invisible brick wall around me #and I'm sure that's a me problem #but...I don't know what I'm trying to articulate here sorry #I guess I don't know how to interact with these people because nothing seems real #and we can progress no further than the smallest of small talk because heaven forbid we let our real honest selves slosh over in public #and it's draining!

Sally's apology to John really struck me as a raw, meaningful parent-to-child apology. She didn't dumb anything down, she didn't lie to soften anything, she claimed all of her actions... he was so young, and Sally reacted to his age not by talking down to him, but by finding a way to describe the whole truth so he could understand

Most importantly I think is how she kept saying that John is a good person. Like...she thought she was about to die. And she didn't spend that time asking John for forgiveness or to remember her in a good light. She dedicated her words to making John feel loved. She spent that precious time giving him something to make sense of it all, to heal somewhere down the line even when she's not there

#HHHHHHUHHHHHHHHHH #i know that Sally & John's interactions at the college indicate a bunch of fucked-up-edness #ie him saying 'i love you' & her not hearing it. her asking him for reassurance #but i see the apology scene & her concern for him after the shooting #as evidence that she's going to give him SOMETHING good as his mother.#call me what u want but i have faith in them.#She's not perfect and they've got SOOOO much shit to live with. the both of them.#but amongst all of her motivations there is a genuine desire to see her son safe & happy #and i'm crossing my heart & hoping to die that -- now that Barry's not there -- that love for John comes through. and that he feels it.#the fact that they had an easy conversation outsite the theater; there was no indication Sally is using substances; John is sober;#and that John has friends.... I'm choosing to take these as indicators that -- despite the genuine problems that Are there --#John & Sally are reasonably healthy and so is their relationship.#oh god. this show. takes a fucking Lot out of me #barry hbo #sally reed #john berkman #barry finale #barry meta #pyra speaks

I know you're being lighthearted in that post about being fandom cancelled but I wanted to say I'm sorry that happened to you and I'm glad you made it to the other side and can joke about it now 💕

Hi thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot, really ❤️ I was pretty shaken when it actually happened, cried a bit, lost my appetite, it was a weird week. Internet spaces can feel so scarily real sometimes, but overall I think I'm just really lucky bc I've met soso many cool people over the years and it absolutely outweighs the bad parts. I came out of that specific episode having met lots of cool people trauma bonding so maybe ultimately it was a net positive. Who's to say.

Anyway not to be corny but I love everyone in this bar!! and if anyone ever seeing this is going through The Horrors (drama) and wants help in the IDGAF wars (fun constructive distractions!!) by inbox is always open.

#a takeaway from the drama was that it made me more resolute to only be bitchy if harmless. and ideally funny #like. I think it's always worth it to take people in good faith. assume the best and give the benefit of the doubt #it usually pays off!#and even when it doesn't. whatever.#EYE sleep better knowing I'm hopefully not the reason why someone is finding online fandom stressful #cute asks #anonymous

i would love to read your fics so much but for some reason i cannot see yeji as g!p at all rip. do u have any ryujin g!p stories as well ;;

Idk if it was your intent but this really sounds like the writing equivalent of peeps who go under fanart, write "your art is good but" then soliloquise about another ship. Considering how the majority of the fandom sees her, I don't think you gotta look far to find g!p Ryujin 😭 the blog with "phd in Yeji bde studies" in bio is probably not the place to be for you if you don’t like Yeji g!p lmao hfhf. If I do ever write a g!p ryujin fic you'll probably find it when you search g!p ryujin

#only answering because I'm taking this in good faith #and it'll be an example of the sort of asks I will probably delete lmao #if it was phrased better I'd be cool but nah this kind pissed me off

bro if u think fantasizing about taking advantage of/hurting vunerable people (minors for example) doesnt make u a potentially dangerous person then u need help. and this doesnt apply to people whose invasive/intrusive thoughts involve those things, this applies to people who call it their ""kink."" those people are dangerous. not "omg i cant stand to breathe the same air as them" dangerous because thats silly? theyre just fucked up people who no one wants to be associated with. thats it. lol.

Nah, don't pretend that isn't the attitude all you people have. :) I've seen it WAY too many times.

Here's a tame example that DOESN'T include death threats, suicide baiting, telling people they deserved their abuse, etc. But you're welcome to browse my ever-growing catalogue of totally "normal" behaviors that people justify because of rhetoric EXACTLY like yours.

I've already written extensively about the reasons you're fucking wrong, so feel free to read those if you're so convinced that I'm dangerous for fantasizing about BEING THE ONE taken advantage of as a green cartoon creature. (I personally like this post of mine, as well as this one. Or, again, you can skip over me and just go research it yourself.)

Educate yourself before you come over here and tout as fact your headcanons about what you think other people have in their hearts. <3

#answering asks #doveshell #proship #anti harassment #literally so done with these people #I'm done justifying my existence to strangers who think they know me lol #you don't know shit #and your take goes against professionals who've dedicated their lives to this but y'all don't care #you never do #if you're “different” than the rest of the control freaks I'll wait #I doubt it #was I bad faith in this response? mmm yeah kinda #generalizing people's opinions isn't usually my thing #but I'm SO tired of this #literally last time I tried to give someone a chance they started victim blaming someone at me and making wild assumptions about my intent #so ya know what take what you dish out #if you're not who I assume you are then it's on you at this point #you blend in perfectly with the rest of them #so if you want to do good then do it #don't let me stop you #realworldblues #anti vs. pro stuff #starrspeaks #my ask tag is not consistent at all RIP

top 9 albums you listened to this year? totally random question 🤪

Unlike last year I did listen to a lot of new music this year so 2022 albums this time weee it was even hard to pick a top 9 but in order of release (probably):
