#and if anyone can send me links to them through inbox maybe >3>
hey murphy!! i saw that you’re still accepting or going forth with your 3k celebration, so curiosity struck me…

(i wanna hear some headcannons you got for this man. i can’t help but ask! but ofc if you’re too busy with honey girl chapter 5 i totally get it, i hope all is well and take care of yourself darling ❤️)
Bucky Barnes Headcanons.
Tumblr media
warnings - sexual content.
my love, thank you for this!! if anyone agrees/disagrees or has any thoughts on these, please feel free to discuss/send them to my inbox. <3
3k celebration post here. 3k masterlist here.
Tumblr media
- I think Bucky wants a simple life. Definitely appreciates the little things. I think he'd thrive in a 'regular' job - working weekdays, weekends off, probably something physical/manual. Maybe a small town, away from the city. The man needs a break.
- The most observant lover/partner. Because he's always kind of 'on guard', he notices everything. Can and will read you like a book.
- Would definitely use/benefit from therapy eventually. I know he didn't like it in TFATWS, but I think after those events, his eyes open a little. Learns the importance of communication and tries his best.
- Doesn't want children. Between the whole super soldier age thing and the trauma, I don't believe he's ever going to want kids. Marriage is definitely on the cards, though. He'd look handsome in a tux.
- He'd definitely benefit from a pet of some kind. I know he has Alpine in the comics, but I do think a dog would benefit him. Not a puppy, but a rescue. Something he can focus his attention on, it offers comfort, gets him out the house a couple of times a day.
- It'd take some time, but once he lets his guard down again, his love language is touch. Touches you all the damn time. His hand on your back, your hips, in your back pocket. Linking his fingers with yours whenever you're close enough. Fiddling with your hair. Kissing your temple, your cheek, the corner of your mouth whenever you give him the chance.
and now onto the sexy stuff...
- I have a firm belief that this man is filthy. Fucks like he's feral. Sweaty, dirty, we're-definitely-going-to-hell type sex.
- I think after he's worked through some of his trauma, he's using that metal arm. The temperature play? He's into it. He likes to watch you gasp. Shiver. Shake.
- He's a grabber. He's so strong, he's leaving bruises wherever he's got a hold of you. Hips, ass, wrists. He'll apologise, at first. Later, he won't.
- Likes his hair pulled. Hard. Likes to toe the line between pain and pleasure. He likes that edge. Likes it when you bite him. Loves when you scratch your nails down his skin.
- Thrives on intimacy. Loves to be skin to skin with you. Wants every part of himself to be plastered to every part of you. Presses your foreheads together, swallows your moans straight into his mouth. Puts his mouth next to your ear so you get a front row seat to the delicious sounds he makes.
in conclusion, he's perfect, your honour.
Tumblr media
please feel free to send me any opinions on these!! agree, disagree, expand.. if you send me a thought (feel free to get dirty ;)) I'll always expand and maybe write a little for it... <3

Feel free not to post this ask. Just wanted to update you on myself. Idk maybe you actually care about me, and I don’t want to give you unnecessary anxiety.
I have just been very anxious (always am tbh but whatever). Having a hard writing an ask to you because my brain thinks I am sharing too much. And also because I haven’t talked to anyone for almost a year now (other than for school shit and excluding maybe 2 people that chat with me on and off, and of course my family) so you talking to me and saying compliments my brain go brr for that. So anxiety. I still see your art. It is still so gorgeous and I still love it. I will never stop thanking you about it. Sorry for over sharing.
Uhh just wanted to share this link with you, so that you can have something to do (been reading on here that you need distractions and stuff, and I had this saved for a week now but anxiety again). So I hope it helps https://takewhatyouneed.carrd.co/#distraction . But I can suggest you to do some jigsaw puzzles (if you have them, but I'm pretty sure you can print some and then just cut it out. I haven’t tried doing it this way yet but it probably works, I really like puzzles lol), you can sew to make stuffed toys out of old fabric (don’t know if you have stuffing but if you have an old pillow, that would work), you can try needle felting (again need to buy materials for that, be careful to not stab your fingers while doing it. I have done so countless of times lol. Would recommend you try out a kit first, like the one that tells you what to do and has set materials. Or you can do whatever you want), you can do diamond painting (buying materials again, I like doing small things. Don’t know if you'd like it though), and you can try 3D miniature house kit (again again, need to buy shit with this one. Little things again).
Ok sorry for the long message again. Other that my anxiety I am also having my finals next week. So I probably will be back after that. Let's see if my anxiety won’t be a bitch and let me talk to people. Ok I hope that shit I sent helps. Thank you so much, ok byee
-🎩
this ask truly warmed my heart❤ you never have to worry about oversharing, i love seeing you in my inbox! i'm not big on chatting so asks are perfect for me, as i can take all the time i need to work out what i'm going to say and stuff. you don't ever have to hesitate to send me an ask whenever you've got something on your mind, i love hearing your thoughts about my art and anything else :)
i get the whole not talking to people thing, i got very sick 2-3 years ago and basically had to shut down my entire life, i stayed home with my mom for nearly 2 years and lost all my friends. i missed 2 whole years of school. it really fucked up my ability to make friends/form connections and when i had to go back to school my anxiety was through the roof, and it hasn't fully eased up. it's not until last year i worked up the courage to actually talk to somebody at the new school i had to go to (well she approached me first but hey, i felt brave enough to keep talking to her), and now i think i have a best friend. i sincerely hope you can find some sort of calm, that you can make a connection too. i'm bad with encouragement, but i do try my best, so trust me when i say you've got this!
and woah that link!! i tried a few of them out, i loved the 'watch the stars' one, i like space. i'm gonna check the rest of them out throughout the day, thank you so much! i'm not good with sewing or needle felting (tried both as a kid) but honestly i would like to try it again.. i have a bit of stuffing over from my killing eve bear so i could make the tiniest stuffed animal in the world i guess lol. as for needle felting, i might have to try again someday!! i also poked my fingers all the time when i tried it as a kid, ouch. and i've never actually tried diamond painting!
well this is turning into a long reply. i hope you're comfortable with me publishing this ask, if not just let me know! i wish you all the luck in the world with your finals!! <3

Can you give us some examples of what an ask roleplay is and what sort of things to ask?
so i answered a similar question here, but for this post i'll go a little bit more in depth. members, if you still have any questions regarding the 'ask rp' please give this a read! an ask roleplay is just sending asks through inbox ( either anonymously or not, doesn't really matter ) either getting to know more about your character. an ask rp also stirs up drama a bit to have the plot thicken if that makes any sense. you can try and look through the glee ask rp tag and see an example through those roleplays. it an easy way to give more depth to your character by answering questions you'd think they would come up with. it's an easy way to do headcanons too! you can check the glee ask rp tag to see an example ( if you need more, come to me off anon and i can link you to a specific roleplay as well as an old account ). click under the cut for all the specifics.
it's all up to you on what you'd like to ask. you can ask the typical questions like "do you have any pets?", "favorite season?". or even asking them a 'this or that': "savory or sweet?". you could also do a top 5, or top three question. or even better, you can get a bit more personal: "what was it like being in high school? did you enjoy it?", "tell me what you think about the revival of glee clubs", "rate each cheerio from a scale from 1-10" maybe stir up some drama? "i heard ____ talked bad about you during glee club", "how do you feel about ____ i heard they have a thing for you". the only thing i will not accept is any sort of targeted hate. everyone is supposed to be respectful and it's not an option for anyone to receive anything disrespectful to their inboxes.
here are some examples of questions you can ask!
Favorite TV show obsessions?
Top 3 soundtracks that define you?
Dogs or cats?
How do you feel about Mr. Schue opening glee club?
Thoughts on The Troubletones?
What are your steps of your nighttime routine?
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Tell me the time about your first kiss?
Dream song/lesson you'd like to do for glee?
What's your family life like?
How would you describe your fashion sense?
What do you plan on doing after graduating college?
What's your dream job?
How do you feel about [ character name here] ?
What do you look for in a relationship?
Do you think [ glee club name ] has any shot at Sectionals/Regionals/Nationals?
Are you more of a fast or slow learner?
Describe your aesthetic.
Favorite spots in Lima?
What's your comfort movie?
Coffee order?

Eeeeyyyyy can you help a fellow artist out with some tips n info? What do you use to make your stickers and your pins? I found a sticker maker for like 15bucks on amazon but like idk I don’t wanna get bad equipment ya know? Also I have NO idea how people make those pins and I’d really like to start doing stuff like that and sell them as well any tips and info on this kinda stuff would be SUPER appreciated! I love ur art and I hope u have an epic day
Hi!! I'm so sorry I took sometime to answer this ask, wanted to collect my thoughts on this properly hehe-
I actually feel real honored people asking tips for me since I still consider myself a small seller artist, and am happy I can help others even with some little advice x'3
Okay okay- with that out the way, am gonna start answering your questions:
🟣 Being honest, I don't know much about sticker makers,,, ones I know are those that like create stickers through heat instead of ink? That's still an odd term for me
But regarding stickers, the way I myself started was by sending off to make on a local printing place in my city! It's an excelent way to print and get lots of stickers for a cheaper price for a start, since other companies usually ask to print a large number of stickers and you can end up with leftover in any case that a design don't sell out well.
Also, being a place that already prints, the quiality tends to be good! But always is a good idea to print samples from different places and choose the one that adjusts better! (Principal points being: Quality, price, and location)
🟣 Other really way to start is by simply printing the stickers yourself! If you have a nice printer already, then that is a good option! Finding a sticker paper (it being bond, couche, photo, or even vynil if you wanna really push it!) that you think you would like, and start printing!
Would suggest as well doing printing samples on normal paper to play with the configurations that your printer can offer- believe me that depending on the quiality you set it on the color vary quite a bit!
🟣 Now, about pins! We go back to the first point; find a place that can make them in small quantities! That's how I started with my first pins,,, which I didn't last long anyway, but it's still a good way to as well start and see what sells and what not.
🟣 But if what you would like is to make them at home by yourself, then the alternative is to invest in a button press; there's a large range of them at different prices, different accesories, sizes- it all depends on what you would like to start with!
The one I recently got for myself is the We R Memory Keepers' press, and honestly I would recommend it! It has it's on cutting inserts, it's light, easy to use, and honestly real cute- seeing that the pins were attracting attention I purchased it along with a bigger insert of 2.25in (it comes already with a 1.45in insert, which is a good size but I like bigger pins gjhngfjn) on a sale.
Aaaaand basically for the images, you can print them yourself! Again, sending them to print somewhere else, or on your printer- either way works!
Sooo I guess those are all your questions! I hope I could help with anything that anyone needs! Any other questions can send to me too! I hope nothing but the best for anyone that has decided to start on their own business- it's really exciting to see different people's art styles coming to life with their produts.
But for now, have a nice rest of your day! Bunny out~

Hi betts, how do you separate yourself from your fanfiction works? As in having the mindset that ‘you are not your work’? I feel like I’ve fallen into the myth that positive feedback equates to readers liking me for me, when in most cases I imagine they’re solely interested in my content. I guess I’m expecting too much from fandom members? I just don’t feel like I belong to the fandom if it weren’t for my fanfiction. Thanks for your time.
this is a really great and really big question that for me anyway had far deeper roots in my mental health than i initially recognized. 
even before i found fandom, i strongly conflated love with being of use to someone, and then i would get upset that people used me. all of my relationships were either distant or volatile. i knew that i was the only thing all my relationships had in common, but i couldn’t figure out what i was doing wrong. 
what i was doing wrong was that i didn’t know how to love or be loved. i only knew how to need and be needed. i was defined wholly by my relationships with others; without them, i was no one. i changed everything about myself to fit with the people i was surrounded by. i had no ability whatsoever to see or assess myself. my worth was measured in others’ perception of me. if they hated me, i hated me. if they loved me...actually, i still hated me, because i believed that love was temporary, and it was only a matter of time they saw the “real” me and they would take their love away. it was much easier to mold myself into someone they could love. 
i once told a guy i was dating, i just want to be who you want me to be. and he looked at me like i was crazy, and asked, then how can i love you? 
when i found writing, i didn’t know what love really felt like. i only knew obsession and codependency. i didn’t know how to feel emotions in order to process them, so everything that had ever happened to me was still just sitting inside me, waiting. writing offered me a tool to begin working through the pile. it offered me a means to observe and validate myself, and feel my feelings. 
but when i was first developing a relationship with writing, i put so much of myself into it that i couldn’t help but use feedback as a measure of self-worth. 
i think to some degree, every artist needs a witness. almost everything we write exists to be made public to some degree, and it’s a totally normal thing to want to seek reception. but conflating other people liking you, and by extension your work, with your worthiness to exist, creates a lot of self-suffering.
i remember realizing that i had boxed myself into a corner, and i knew i had to reassess my perspective of myself and my work. i had found myself in the same position you describe, feeling bad because readers didn’t love me, they loved my writing (see: being of use and wondering why people always used me). especially with fanfic, which has so much to do with quantity, 90% of readers don’t even look at the fic writer’s name, let alone kudos or comment. reading is a self-fulfilling endeavor the same way eating is. all of us need stories to live. as writers, we’re just the chefs. when you eat a good meal, you don’t fall in love with the chef. most of the time you don’t even know their name. the food isn’t the chef and the story isn’t you. 
but also, i was, and always had been, disgusted and baffled by people who *did* love me, especially if i felt i had nothing useful to offer them. once, a friend of mine drove like 3 hours to come visit me for dinner, and then drove 3 hours back. for some reason i assumed he was on a road trip somewhere and just passing through. when he told me he had come just to hang out with me, my brain short-circuited. i couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to hang out with me like, for fun. 
after a few years of posting fic, a weird thing happened where a few people did seem to like *me* because of my writing, insofar as they would follow my blog and interact with me and eventually we became friends. there may even be people out there who like me and don’t interact with me. but that idea also kind of weirded me out for a long time, because i kept thinking, who am i? no one. i’m nothing. i’m boring. go read my writing, that’s what matters. 
and then i realized, i could not have it both ways. either i wanted to be seen, or i wanted to go unseen. i was schrödinger’s validation. 
so i think the very simple answer is “learn to love yourself,” but i was so far behind when it came to love, i didn’t know what loving yourself even meant. so i think a better adage is “learn love.” learn what love is, what it feels like, what it looks like. and then turn that definition on yourself and your work. 
i love myself, even when i mess up, even when i’m not meeting my expectations. i love my work, even when it’s bad. when other people love me and my work, that makes me happy. when they don’t, that’s fine, because i still have plenty of my own love left. 
in practicality, for a few years i basically had to constantly chant to myself “what other people think of me is not my business.” a reader’s relationship with your writing is not your obligation to know or control. it’s only your obligation to create the stories you want to tell, and maybe you share them so you can share the love you put into them, or maybe you don’t. maybe you eat the meal you cook, or maybe you share it with someone else. whether they like it or not has no bearing on who you are. it’s all just personal taste.
more importantly, you can’t generate self-beliefs externally. someone’s opinion of you or your work cannot define you, because no one has a wider view of you than you. you are the expert of yourself. it took me a long time to change all of my self-beliefs, or what i’ve come to call “life sentences,” into statements of temporality and priority. “i’m brave” turned into “i value courage.” “i’m bad at directions” turned into “sometimes i get turned around.” every time i’m about to make a sweeping judgment of myself, i try to recast it into something more malleable, because every state of the self is temporary, and i always want to give myself the opportunity to grow.
i won’t lie and say i have a totally healthy relationship with my writing. i still get jealous sometimes, although it’s much briefer and more bearable than it used to be. i still get deeply annoyed by tactless or rude feedback, but i rarely get upset. i *do* get upset when someone sends me a link to a forum or thread of people making fun of me; i think it’s hard to unlearn that. sometimes i still feel the need to defend or justify or apologize for my work. and i definitely still compulsively refresh my comment inbox whenever i post something i’m proud of. but for the most part, i’m in a much better place than i used to be.
currently i’m working on making peace with the idea of publication, that my original work treads a morally risky line that is easily misunderstood, and i’m publishing into a world of mob mentality and cancel culture. and moreover, once a work is published, once it’s out there, it can never go back in. i’m trying to figure out whether i’m confident enough now in my work to still stand by it in ten years or fifty. i’m also freaked out about how anything i publish will outlive me. as someone who has always lived with existential dread, it’s terrifying to think i may write something that could be read in a hundred years, that my voice might live longer than my body. there is a very slim chance of it, but as i’ve mentioned before, i think it’s better to plan more for success than failure. 
i’m not sure if any of this is helpful, but it’s the path i took to get where i am. i wish you the best of luck navigating your relationship with your work.

dear readers and writers
— a little advice i wish i would have heard before i started this blog and writing in general. sorry i’m that writer that makes post like these, i just want you to understand that things like this change everything. if this looks like a lot, just find the ones that pertain to you.
Tumblr media
writers
➤ 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝
there are so many good works that come from you focusing on the genres you are most comfortable with, and only writing those is not a bad thing. it’s not a “you’re not growing as a writer” situation, it’s a comfort zone situation. just because smuts do well doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to write them. just because angsts come in bulk because you can never ignore the emotional bits of writing doesn’t mean that has to be the main focus of every work. just because fluffs are the most reblogged content doesn’t mean it’s the only genre people will enjoy from you. focus on what you love, others will follow!
➤ 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥
if you don’t consistently open your inbox, do it at least once. close it when you feel overwhelmed or at any time you feel necessary. don’t believe that you have to write them all in a short period of time. be statistical about it: only open it for a short game or blurbs. use the requests to fill in blanks or practice writing in different ways. play with the word counts. change up the tone. delete a few, you’re not obligated to actually write them, this is your free time and your work. but sometimes doing requests can change how you write, maybe even give you a breakthrough you wouldn’t have had with writing things from your own mind. and have fun.
➤ 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
filling the warnings up with silly little comments or parts from the story is important, too. even if it’s a paragraph’s worth of potential warnings or triggers, never skip adding them. even if you think it’s something not worth mentioning, it will be to someone. add as many as necessary.
➤ 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞
word counts don’t determine how good of a writer you are. from brilliant blurbs with two paragraphs and one line of dialogue, drabbles with less than a thousand words, or full on double digits fics: what counts is that you enjoyed writing it. it made you excited. you paused just to mention to a friend how much you love writing it. you got chills piecing together that one line. that energy gets put through your work and into your reader, seriously.
➤ 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭?
everyone reads. anything. everything. you name it, one person’s read it. whether your confidence in your writing ability is low or not, the process will only benefit you. and you get to spend time writing about some of your favorite people/characters, it’s a win-win. it’s no competition, only a fun time that you get to create and share with the world. try it.
➤ 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
the more detail, the better the mental picture. if you read something and love visualizing every scene, hearing every line, then you should work for the same within your stories. close your eyes and put your scene into your surroundings, every little detail counts. and although i said word counts don’t mean anything, if your brain does focus on you having large word counts (it happens to every writer, big word counts make you feel cool for writing so much), then this is a sexy step to use because it heightens that number pretty quickly.
short sentences look weird, but are better than run-ons.
vocabulary is sexy and thesaurus dot com is your best friend. need a word but can only think of something similar, you’ll find it there. used the same word three times now and think you’re starting to look insane, you are, use your sources.
you don’t need a banner or aesthetics for everything you write. the writing does all of the work itself. don’t stress about the accessories.
burnt out on writing the same thing / can’t think of what else to put down? break time. take a tangent, write something else, cut it off there (maybe post it) and leave the rest for the future, the cliffhanger or abrupt ending will have everyone on the edge of their seats. you’re still doing well.
if you’re writing to gain a following or have extensive amounts of notes to brag about, you’re into writing fanfics for the wrong reasons. hoping for feedback is one thing, feasting for it as your only source of inspiration for writing is just hurting yourself and other writers in the long run. write for yourself and no one else.
writer’s block? hell if i know, i’ve had it since before i started writing.
Tumblr media
readers
➤ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤
a little feedback goes a mile. a simple emoji as a reaction, keyboard smashes, even tagging topical things can make a fanfic writer smile.
but long paragraphs also go a long way. imagine watching a movie you love to bits, so much so that you go online and read reviews of it. that commentary can shift the way you look at the movie forever, and stick with you during other films. it’s the same with receiving and reading feedback on fanfics. I’m not saying go crazy critical with your feedback, do not do that unless the writer says they want criticism, but maybe writing why you love one particular line so much could change the way the writer feels about the entire work or make a reader begin to love the same line so much that they quote it or recommend it. it makes a difference!
➤ 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞��𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡��𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬?
tell the writer. this isn’t an “i wrote this and it mentions all of these other things, so you should have expected this” game. if it bothered you, it will probably bother someone else, and that needs to be told to the writer. i don’t know what to tell you if a writer writes back being degrading or negative about your concern for that warning, but i promise you that most writers will not argue with whether it should be a warning or not and will just add it. do not be scared to mention something that triggered you if it was not mentioned in the warnings. also, please remember writers are humans and cannot think of everything all the time. we might miss one or two warnings within the work when writing the description, so please tell us.
➤ “𝐈 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠.”
pain. straight pain. your reblog shares that post with your followers. you like it, why wouldn’t they? that reblog stays on your page, it’ll be seen. the tags you put in could help others find more works on your blog, essentially helping more works be found. maybe they’re old and haven’t seen the light of the recent tags in months, but your reblog could help more people still see it, and that makes a difference. we all have those lazy moments where we don’t want to do all of the steps, but even doing them sometimes helps.
➤ 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞?
readers can scroll through the list for their preferences, find new writers that amaze them, maybe they gain the courage to put together their own fic recs list. all of those recommended fics are still floating around and being shared, they don’t get lost in the tags or the writer’s masterlists. you find/make a recs list: congratulations, you’re contributing to helping fanfics thrive (as they deserve). also, who doesn’t love an entire list right in front of them so they don’t have to go on a scavenger hunt to find new things to read? answer: no one.
➤ 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞?
tags to organize, fics to go through/find/read, oh my. let me let you in on a little secret:
have you ever had that moment where you suddenly remember one line or scene from a fic you read months ago, and you have the vaguest details to go off of in order to search and find it? your fics recs blog would have you covered, just scroll through the feed or the tags and boom, it’s at your fingertips.
now imagine someone else looking for more fics to read stumbling upon your blog. might look a little strange and coded to them, but eventually they navigate and find a new fic they’ll be talking about for months. they reblog it, add their own feedback, their followers see it and join in, and that writer feels immensely appreciated all because you started a recs blog and just-so-happened to reblog their fic. tah dah.
➤ 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐩?
well, so did i. i asked my followers on this blog and my recs blog to send in their favorite fics with some extra details and feedback thinking i wouldn’t get anything, but i got an entire list! guess what’s even better? that list went straight into the tags (thanks to tumblr working properly for once) and now anyone that searches up ‘kpop fic recs’ can find it at any time. same goes for your own. there’s no specific way of organizing a recs list, just make sure the links work and the writers are credited! it helps.
Tumblr media
read more! it’s a vast world in your hands, enjoy the words that go along with it.
sorry for this technical rant/advice post, this has just been in me for a while and i wanted to talk about it. I might add more to this as things come up, but for now i hope this helps! <3

In case you’re new here, the Master Post has all sorts of useful information about my blog! The To-Do list on it will show you what I’m working on at any given moment.
If you’ve sent a request in, you should see it on that list!! If you don’t, please contact me and let me know so I can sort it out <3 I don’t want to miss anyone!
Tumblr media
2. The Summer Event is still active!! But I have changed how it appears on my blog.
Any current events will now be advertised on my Master Post as the FIRST section. All you have to do is click “keep reading”, and it will be the very first thing to pop up.
As a reminder, while requests are closed, you cannot ask for a Summer Event piece. UNLESS YOU ARE ONLY ASKING FOR AN IMAGINE. (This is a new rule, which is why I’m telling you now.)
Tumblr media
3. Speaking of requests, when will they be open again?
The answer is not very simple.
I am hoping to have them open again by the close of business on Sunday, but I have family in town at the moment, and not really a lot of time to work on the current ones.
I REALLY want to open them soon, because I’ve been getting so many creative requests lately, and I really love writing for you all. So it will happen. I promise.
This leads me to the next change on my blog:
Tumblr media
4. REQUEST SLOTS.
Now, to make it easier to keep track of when requests will close/open (because it’s been a bit random), I’m introducing request slots!
C, how does this work?
Simple! On my Master Post, under the “To-Do List” section, you will see a note in big capital letters that says REQUEST SLOTS: FULL. When requests are open, there will be a fraction, such as 5/15, or 3/7. The denominator will be the maximum amount of requests I am receiving at the moment (which will fluctuate based on how busy I am), and the numerator will be based on how many requests I have in my inbox!
So, if you’re thinking of requesting, not only will it say requests are closed/open on my bio, but you can also look at the requests slots to see how many are left. This is just my way of staying sane.
I literally never thought I’d have the problem of too many requests coming in every time I open my asks, so this is a happy problem 😂
Tumblr media
5. I have an important question with a potentially important announcement (based on your answers):
I know I frequently post random updates and things, but I have an idea to condense it all into a sort of “newsletter”. Here’s the concept:
Once a week (on a day I have not yet decided), I will send out an “Updates” post. It will be much like this post and contain any new information about my blog, an update on the current To-Do list, the current request slots, and a few other features if you want:
I was thinking maybe a section on my favorite WIP, my current favorite piece of writing I’ve completed, my current favorite song, and/or a fun fact about me? Something along those lines.
What do you think? Please leave a comment or send an ask or a message telling me how you feel about this, or what you’d want to see in a “Newsletter”. Thanks kids!!
Tumblr media
6. THE EMOJI GAME IS DISCONTINUED!!!
Thanks for playing! I loved sharing bits and pieces of my WIPS with y’all, but I have to stop for now and focus on work <3
Tumblr media
7. JUST A FEW RANDOM NOTES BELOW. READ IF YOU WANT.
+ If you have a request currently pending, I apologize for the time it’s taking me. I know you’re used to me answering quickly, but I’ve been so busy, and there are so many to answer. I really appreciate your patience, and promise they will get done!
+ If you are the person who sent in the Saru request, thank you! I actually know nothing about Saru (I’ve only seen the reboots and a bit of TOS), but I am going to do my darndest to get the right research and nail his character as best I can.
+ Just another reminder that requests are answered IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, other than me trying to space fandoms out so we all don’t lose our minds. Thanks.
+ No, I am not from the South, I am from the Mason-Dixon line. Yes, I use “y’all” because everyone around me does. Also because it’s the best word ever invented.
+ Thank you to @evangeliamerryll and @eminems-skittles who have been reblogging my posts!! And to anyone else who reblogs!! I appreciate you so much, especially the comments that you add and the sweet messages you send!!
AND THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW FOLLOWERS!!! I LOVE YA!!!
I used to be a nobody, but now my requests fill up within 48 hours of me opening them, and I have dozens upon dozens of notes on my fics. If you’re new, I’m sorry that things are taking longer. I seriously never expected to blow up like this.
I SAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, BUT I HAVE THE BEST FOLLOWERS!!! YOU ARE THE REASON I WRITE, AND I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. THANK YOU!!
also, today is a migraine day. So either a BUNCH of requests will be answered, or none at all. Thank you for reading and being patient with me <3
This post is an attempt to make things easier for everyone now that I have so many followers 😳

What’s wrong with aging up?
@mci-writing: There isn’t a problem with aging up in specific, but rather how you go about aging up the characters, especially in NSFW pieces. If you’re going to age the characters up, make it apparent that the characters are aged up rather than just slapping the 18+ label, whether it be in an offhand mention of living in a house of their own or maybe something small about being in college if dorms are such an integral part to the work in question.
Tumblr media
“If the minors knew it was an 18+ space, why did they join?”
@mci-writing: Their server is a 16+ server, so they were invited and welcomed once they proved their ages. Many minors that joined their server saw it as an opportunity to meet new people and make friends, all while being able to interact with their favorite writers in the fandom.
Tumblr media
If the discord discussion wasn't about harassing Lady-bakuhoe, why did it happen?
@mci-writing: The first discussion quite literally was a couple of people active in the fandom, mainly writers, venting about how hard it is to currently get your works out there and just how hard it is to properly get involved in the fandom without some form of help from a clique. No one in specific was named that time. The other discussion was Sav venting about how she was treated after a whack ass callout post was made and simply because a writer was mad that Sav ran her server the way Sav wanted to, which led to her elaborating on the situation (it then prompted other people’s responses, whose responses are fairly similar to how many of you reacted to Jo’s small “callout”).
Tumblr media
What legal offences have they done if charged?
@savnofilter: Well since you guys like supporting people you think should be in jail, considering Lady-Bakuhoe has shared a minor’s face and age, the offense would be up to the parents in question. It's stated in laws that even if the minor is a felon, you do not have the rights to share such information without law/parent consent. Although I cannot find anything about age, sharing a minor's face comes with consequences. 
- UK source: 1 
- US source: 1
Charges will be:
Lawsuit: exposing minor information without parental consent.
*****
To put in perspective, the U.S and UK are basically flip flopped. In the U.S it is not against the law to groom, but in the UK it is. It is illegal to have relationships with minors in the U.S, while in the UK it is not. 
Tumblr media
For knowingly engaging sexually with a minor (DMs), you can also be trialed for having depictions of any picture/video of minors. (ex: students in school uniforms) or minors in sexual situations. Although having a sexual relationship with a 16 year-olds is permitted, consuming child pornography is not. Grooming is also outside of sexual abuse, you can groom anyone for any reason.
- UK source: 1 
- US source: 1 
Charges will be:
Misdemeanor: for knowingly engaging NSFW with minors, causing mental anguish.
Felony: for knowingly engaging NSFW with minors, causing mental anguish.
2 Years Prison: sexting any sort of NSFW content to a minor.
Registered Sex Offender: engaging sexually with minors (U.S).
*****
For the acts of gaslighting, you can be sentenced if proven with evidence.
- UK source: 1, 2 
- U.S source: 1, 2, 3 
Charges will be: 
Misdemeanor: causing mental anguish, this is categorized as mental abuse.
Felony: causing mental anguish, this is categorized as mental abuse.
*****
Sharing false and hurtful posts about someone with intention to hurt someone's image constitutes cyberbullying. This includes false posts to make someone look bad and sending hate (whether you directed it or not). 
For perspective, once again it is flip-flopped. The U.S has many states so there are not any direct laws against cyberbullying (in my state and my friends it is illegal), but you can categorize abusive behaviors exhibited online as a form of abuse. In the U.K it is illegal, grooming is considered being one of the offenses. 
LBH and or any adult who participated in posting, sending hate, or anything that repeatedly tore our image down would be classified as a Verbal Adult Bully. 
UK source: link
U.S source: link
Charges will be:
Lawsuit: defamation of character, harassment.
Misdemeanor: harassment, abuse.
1-2 years jail or fine: harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
12 months jail or fine: classified as stalking.
*****

Since you only promote 18+ blogs in your 16+ server, the people who run/host the server will be trialed for exposing minors to NSFW
UK source: link 
U.S source: link 
Charges will be: 
Misdemeanor: exposing a minor to pornographic content.
Third degree felony: exposing a minor to pornographic content.
1-15 years jail: exposing a minor to pornographic content.
Fine: $1,000 - $10,000
Tumblr media
Don't you (minors) know it's illegal to consume and produce erotica? 
@savnofilter​: As long as we (minors) don't go as far to engage (message privately) sexually with people who are 18+, it’s not illegal. Reblogging or commenting on a work both ways isn't illegal either 1, 2. It’s only illegal if you approach minors and send it to them personally. If it was illegal, porn websites wouldn’t even exist. If you’re concerned about minors reading your stuff, don’t put them in main tags.
Tumblr media
Can't the person producing the content get arrested?
@savnofilter​: To put it simply: No. You will not go to jail if a minor reads your smut. With the other way around, you won't go to jail reading a minor's smut either. The laws state that you can only go to jail if you send porn (video, art, pictures) to a minor or produce depictions of a minor in sexual acts.
Therefore if you do not approach a minor with such contents, you will not be trialed. If this was the case, there wouldn't be platforms such as PornHub and etc would not be able to run.
Tumblr media
Do you have a problem with them writing the content that they do?
@savnofilter​: No. If we did it would be hypocritical. It’s more of the personal jabs to alienate teens feel in the writing community. This means having to go out your way saying stuff like “fuck minors” “minors are stupid”. People like to shove down our throats that we want to go into “adult spaces”. Tumblr is an open site for 13+, the anime being a Shounen anime. Again, if you don’t want minors interacting with your stuff, keep it out of main tags.
Tumblr media
What do we want from this post?
The main reason why I even decided to speak up is because I was tired of always talking about how toxic it is here and always being accused of starting drama to shut me up. Sure, call it “bitching” and “whining” but why should I take bullying because I have less followers and half someone’s age? 
The double-standard that I’ve touched upon in CCC or even how small blogs are treated. Fandom is supposed to be fun, and it’s not okay to let things slide just to keep things “happy”. Stop intimidating and shutting down people who finally have a choice to talk about the things they have been through just because your favorite says so. Don’t campaign about listening to hurt peoples voices, then proceed to ignore and ridicule people who do it in your own environment. 
I’ve had people come into my inbox and mock me for admitting to being mentally ill and say I’m doing this because I’m sick in the head, or call me a liar only because I spoke up. The BNHA fandom needs to stop the popularity mob mentality. Before you blindly someone, think to yourself: why? Stop giving toxic people passes because there is always a high chance in them not even caring about you. Don’t be a sheep, think for yourself. That’s what I want from this post. Even if people don’t believe me now, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. 
Here is what a few of our members have had to say:

Drop ‘Em Out (Let Me See Them Knockers)
“Well, this is a cover of the song “Drop ‘Em Out” by Wheeler Walker Jr,” Kara says to the camera, her striking blue eyes staring into the camera as if trying to get it across that she is really saying this to Lena. She hums a note, before pausing, and saying, “I really hope you enjoy this, Lena.”
Kara strums a chord again and hums for about two seconds. She takes a deep breath and nods to herself, her left leg starting to bounce up and down as if keeping time. Kara looks like a real musician.
--
A one-shot where Lena is having a dilemma surrounding Kara. But, to be honest, when is she not having a dilemma surrounding Kara?
Word Count: 2134 words
Rating: T--but talks about boobs, so... take that how you will.
Read It Below or on AO3.
Sam exits the elevator quickly, her heels tapping against the floor. Her long legs stride towards the door to the CEO's penthouse, the urge to run bubbling up from deep down within her soul. She pulls her spare key out of her pocket, hands shaking as she clicks the door open and walks inside.
She nods at Jess, who is sitting and scrolling through her phone on the couch. “I came as fast as I could,” Sam says, almost yelling as her eyebrows furrowing together with worry. “What do you mean that Lena is ‘having a moment?’ Is she alright?” she asks.
Jess leans closer to the taller woman, but her eyes glance towards the closed bedroom door. “Go in for yourself and talk to her,” she whispers. “There’s just no logic and reason going through her head right now.”
Sam sucks in a deep breath and nods, mentally preparing herself for the absolute worse. She turns on her heel and walks to the door of the bedroom, pushing it open to see Lena staring wide-mouthed at her computer screen. She obviously hasn’t changed for the day because she is still wearing her morning red silk robe—not that there is much of the day left.
It’s already 3:53 according to Sam’s phone.
Oh, this is a lot worse than what Sam thought. She sighs and steps further into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
“Lena?” Sam asks, turning around to fully survey the situation.
The young CEO glances up at her with a glazed look in her eyes.
Sam bites her lip, studying Lena for a second too long so that it passes over the point of ‘      I am being a great friend    ’ and into ‘      I am a concerned mother looking over my child    ’ territory. But, to be honest, Lena is acting very similar to when Ruby came home lamenting over how cute her crush was three weeks ago.
Sam frowns. “Is everything alright?” she asks, stepping closer into Lena’s personal space.
Lena shakes her head as if she were shaking the cobwebs free from all the crevices in her brain. Her bright green eyes finally land on Sam, her eyes widening to almost a humorous degree.
“Sam,” Lena says, her voice cracking like a teenage boy going through puberty. Sam frowns as this is so much worse than what she thought it would be. “I think it finally got through to Kara that I’ve been flirting with her,” the CEO squeaks.
Sam tilts her head. “Why do you say that?” She quickly glances around the room for any signs of romance: flowers, cards,      anything    . She looks back at the CEO and raises an eyebrow at Lena when nothing appears to Sam right away. Her eyes flicker down, briefly, to the computer before Lena, and a thought pops into her head that makes her shiver.
Did Kara send Lena a sex video?  
 Sam shakes her head, that would be ridiculous. Kara is in isolation according to Supergirl’s twitter page.
 (“Lmao guys, I might have an alien virus!! I’ll keep you updated!!” it had said. Sam still balks every time she thinks about that. Who says LMAO when they have a potentially deadly virus?)
 “Just start from the beginning, Lena,” Sam ends up saying, trying to coax the CEO into telling her what’s wrong.
 “I am the product of a sordid love affair and my mother hates-”
 “Lena.”
 “Fine, fine,” Lena huffs and crosses her arms, staring Sam in the eye with obvious annoyance on her face. “It all started this morning when Kara and I were supposed to have our daily Zoom call with one another. She might’ve been exposed to an alien virus, you know.”
 “I heard.” Sam feels her eye twitch.
 “Anyway, this morning…”
--
 Lena sips on her morning coffee while her fingers rapidly click against the spacebar of her computer, coaxing the machine to wake up for the day. It blinks awake and she quickly types in her password.
--
 “I don’t need like a fucking novel,” Sam groans, her left hand flying up the air as a feeling of exasperation settles in her stomach. “Just tell me what happened!”
 “I’m getting there,” Lena snaps, “Hold your horses.”
--
 Lena hums and softly blows the steam away from her face as she refreshes her email inbox, waiting for Kara’s email to the Zoom room link.
 She looks out the window, frowning when a red dart--sadly, not Supergirl--flashes across the sky. Must’ve been a bird or something. Oh, Lena misses Kara like a fish missing water.
 Lena opens her phone and clicks on the texting conversation between her and Kara.
 “where are you??” Lena types, before deleting, pausing, and looking out the window once again so she can think of a better text to send to her best friend. She bites her lip, every possible message running through her mind rapidly and slowly at the same time because this is Lena’s most anxious part of the day, despite what anyone else thinks.
 She looks back to her phone and sucks in a breath, sending “are we still on for zoom?” to the blonde, quarantined superhero. “i can also do it later in the day if you can’t do it right now,” she adds in quick succession.
 “Check your email! :D” Kara quickly responds not a second later, and Lena feels her heart flutter as she stares at the cute emoticon. It is so Kara. “But could we possibly Zoom later? I have some lab tests about to be done on me” and “I don’t want our time cut short” comes in two messages back to back.
 “then why am i checking my email,” Lena almost asks, before deleting the message. She sighs, bringing her cup back up to her lips as her fingers fly to click the reload button. She clicks and anxiety starts to build in her stomach.
 She frowns as an email from Kara loads with the title:  Watch Me!!!
--
 Sam puts her hands on her hips and looks up at the ceiling. “So,” she says, interrupting Lena’s story. “you’re freaking out slash mildly upset because you didn’t have your daily Zoom call?”
 Lena sputters. “N-no,” she says while her eyes fly around the room rapidly as if the young CEO wouldn’t dare look her friend in the eye. Sam raises an eyebrow at the action and hums, trying to figure out what is going on.
 “Let me just continue with my story, Sam,” Lena whines, “Then, you can offer your genius or whatever.”
 “You’re damn right I’m going to offer my genius after all this,” Sam nods, motioning for Lena to continue, “please tell me more about why you’re so freaked out right now.”
 “Well, I clicked on the email which had a YouTube link sitting inside...”
--
 Lena almost chokes on her coffee once the video loads. Her green eyes squint together, amused, as she stares at Kara smiling widely into the camera.
 The blonde is wearing an      interesting     outfit, to say the least, and it makes Lena wonder if Alex decided to get Kara’s clothes for her--but at a steep price. But, like always, Kara still looks like the perfect mix between hot and cute. Maybe it’s an alien thing.
 Well, to put it plainly, Kara looks like a Cowboy. And, it is making Lena feel      things    .
 Her taut white t-shirt is covered by a blue and red well-worn flannel, and a straw cowboy hat rests on top of her head with her blonde hair down and semi-wild. Since Kara isn’t wearing her glasses, she looks as if Supergirl decided to go to a rodeo and just fought an evil bucking alien.
 “Hey, Lena,” Kara says, grinning into the camera. She reaches one of her hands up as if wanting to fix her glasses, but then coughs, and fixes her hat instead. “I haven’t seen you in person for a few weeks now,” the blonde muses, her blue eyes dropping to her lap as if extremely disappointed.
 . “I really hate that,” she continues, “But, nevermind that. I have something to show you! Something that I hope--oh, golly--I hope you’ll like this.”
 The CEO raises an eyebrow at the screen, silently wondering if Kara is going to use her superhearing to listen to Lena’s reaction.
 “Anyway,” Kara continues, “I’ve had a lot of time on my hands recently. I’ve really enjoyed our Zoom calls, but they’re the only thing that I really look forward to nowadays. So, I decided to learn how to play some country music. One sec,” she stands and exits offscreen.
 Lena bites down on her lower lip, slamming her eyes together so a groan doesn’t escape from her lips. Sure, Lena would love to watch Kara’s serenade from the DEO, but she doesn’t really care for country music.
 “Well, here is a song that I hope that you enjoy,” Kara says, and Lena slowly opens her eyes. Kara is holding a guitar with a shit-eating grin on her face.
--
 “Wait,” Sam interrupts again, “This all about a      song    . You’re freaking out over a song?”
 “Let me tell my own story, Sam,” Lena sniffs, crossing her arms. “It makes more sense if you just listen.”
 “Jeez, okay.”
--
 Kara clears her throat, and strums such a beautiful chord that Lena suddenly gets the urge to listen to more country music--but, only if Kara will listen to it as well. Her blue eyes shimmer and shine almost as if she had caught stars and put them in her eyes.
 “Well, this is a cover of the song “Drop ‘Em Out” by Wheeler Walker Jr,” Kara says to the camera, her eyes staring into the camera so she could get it across that she is really saying it to Lena while strumming another angelic chord. She hums, before pausing, and saying, “I really hope you enjoy this, Lena.”
 Kara strums a chord again and hums for about two seconds. She takes a deep breath and nods to herself, her left leg starting to bounce up and down as if keeping time. Kara looks like a real musician.
 Lena leans closer to the screen, enraptured by what she sees. Maybe after Kara gets out of Quarantine, Lena will just ask Kara to play guitar chords while the CEO happily (and hornily) drinks wine.
 Kara plays another chord and opens her mouth, her bright voice echoing in the bedroom.
 “Drop 'em out,” Kara’s voice is angelic, Lena thinks. “Let me see them titties. Gonna take a long look at those tig 'ol bitties. Areolas lookin' nice, nipples lookin' real pretty…”
 Lena gasps, shock ricocheting throughout her entire body as she watches Kara… sing about boobs? Kara would never do that.
 “Come on let me gander at your boobs.”
 Scratch that. Kara wants to see her boobs..? What in the--
--
 “No way that happened,” Sam says, rolling her eyes. “Kara can barely even say boobs, much less ‘titties.’ And that part with the Areolas? Bah!”
 “She did,” Lena says, nodding her head. “I’ve been watching the video all morning in fact. Do you want to see it?”
 Sam pauses, considering her choices very carefully. “I’m good,” she decides.
 “Are you sure?” Lena asks, looking worried and unsure as if she were afraid that Sam doesn’t believe her. “All I have to do is just click--”
 “Do      not     click that button,” Sam says, firmly, her hand almost slapping herself in the face. “I don’t want to hear it.”
 Lena pauses, biting on her lip. “What do I do, Sam?” she asks, her voice small. “I’ve never been in this situation before.”
 “Honey,” Sam sighs, “I don’t think anyone has been in this situation before. But you know what?” Lena perks up and stares at Sam with an extreme fascination. “You can do exactly what Kara told you to do… show her your boobs!”
 “Really?”
 “Yes,” Sam says, and then she hesitates. But, then she shrugs and agrees with herself that this might be the fastest course of action. “Yeah, show her your wonderful boobs.”
 Lena nods. “Okay,” she says as if trying to psych herself up, “I will. I will show Kara my boobs. But,” she pauses staring at Sam with an extremely pitiful gaze, “I will only do it if you help me make sure that they look perfect. Help me with lighting and whatnot.”
 Sam looks up at the ceiling and closes her eyes. The fate of her friend’s relationship is now in her hands, no matter how much she doesn’t want it to be. She sighs and looks back down at Lena.
 “Sure,” she says, “Let’s make sure your boobs look great for Kara.”
 “Our zoom call is at 4:30.”
 “You will look like Kara’s personal cam star at 4:30, then.”

This is a little idea I had about making a set of rules/requests for when I do my own ST analyses/theories/etc. (which will almost entirely be about Mileven), and I want to thank @tsugarubecker for giving me advice on how to word all of this, and just in general supporting me.
Now, I’m aware that I can’t tell anybody what to do especially on this website. But I can make it clear that I would like to keep the peace between the shippers, and have some requests for how to do so when it comes to my own posts.
I will NEVER make a post with the intent to start an argument, bash, or debunk anyone and/or their analyses and theories, or any ship. I will also NEVER make a post to compare and contrast different ships, or make parallels (unless they are like, cute and fun and good parallels...no "this ship is better than that one" or "this ship will be endgame and that one won't" etc.). And I will NEVER make a post just to say "I'm right and you're wrong bc of reasons." The point of an analysis is to analyze, not to be right or wrong. I will keep my post about only one ship, so as to avoid arguments. I would really appreciate it if anyone who decides to read my posts does NOT do any of the following:
1) Reblog or reply to my posts to start arguments.
2) Reblog or reply to my posts to just to bash me, my ship, or my opinion/the analysis itself. There’s no need to tell each other that “you are wrong and we are right,” everything up for interpretation, and everything is valid.
3) Reblog or reply to my post to laugh at it or just be a general dick about it.
~ (rules cont.)
4) I am totally fine with people disagreeing with me, so long as they do it kindly. There's nothing wrong with a different opinion. In fact, it makes things more interesting!
Knowing how easily fights can break out, I'm a little hesitant to say this next rule...but I trust my followers, so I will say it anyway.
5) If you want to discuss/converse about the post, maybe talk about why you disagree, or what your own take on the theory is, or whatever, I am totally open to that. But PLEASE KEEP IT CIVIL. If things start getting out of hand, I will put a stop to it.
5.5) I am also open to discussing the post in other ways, such as through my inbox, or on your own separate post (that can make and tag me in, if you so choose). If nothing else, we can always just ignore the differences, or agree to disagree.
6) Anything negative (rude comments, unpopular opinions, debunkeries, arguments, or just straight bashing), please send to my askbox. I will be happy to deal with them there or talk it out or whatever. If I see ANYTHING rude, unnecessary, or unasked for in the post itself (or anything that breaks rule 5), you will be blocked.
7) I tag all my posts. You can use that as a basis for deciding whether or not to get involved. If you do decide to read it (despite not being in whichever ship is being discussed), please be careful with how you proceed after.
8) if I use ambiguous or neutral words such as 'assume', 'guess', 'possibility', 'theory', etc., it is because I believe that until we get hard, concrete evidence leaning one way or the other, all theories are just theories. And yes, this includes everything I will write, too. You don't have to agree with me, but just know that I will be trying my best to keep everything I write as analytical as possible (by that I mean, using evidence I find in the scene and not just saying things like "he obviously feels this way and not that way just because I said so, you are wrong and I am right") and not let my biases get too out of control.
We should be able to enjoy posts without someone else making the whole thing about themselves.
I will link this post in every analysis/theory/etc. I make, so no one forgets.
Anyone breaking these rules will be blocked.
Thank you.

Blind Villain Continuation #4
Part 3 Here
Sender didn't know where to send this so PM is totally fine, bud, but I’ll explain the gist just so others know. Generally, when the inbox is closed, it means I am full up of like 30 - 40 requests. Every Friday submissions open (if I remember), and that’s for any of your prompts that you just want posted, NOT written up. My Concepts can suck so those always come in handy. For continuations, you can send those at any time, and that way it’s easier for me to find the post. Ideally, send me the link to the post or comment on the post and then I can see it. I knew exactly which post this was though so it’s no problem.
There was silence after the door slammed shut. Villain stood out of sight from the others, feeling the wall to make sure they weren't near any glass that would give them away. They listened hard as Sidekick sighed.
"Why would you lie to them like this?"
"Because it was the only way they'd let anyone help. I just wanted them to be able to figure things out, and I essentially retired anyway."
"Well, you did more than any of us could... [Hero], I really need anyone's help I can get, so I will ask you. Come back to the city with me, I'm desperate."
Hero furrowed their brow, "How exactly? I know things have gotten rougher since I left, but I don't dare show up in case I hurt someone else."
"You won't understand details, so basically some of the men don’t have the same respect for me as they did Villain. They’re the dodgy ones [Villain] often had to discipline but couldn’t kick out and never should have hired... They’ve been bought by [Other Villain], and they’re spilling secrets left, right, and centre."
"That. That is a problem. If [Other Villain] is able to get any more power over the city."
Sidekick looked down in shame. "They already have, that's why the city is so messed up. Without you and Villain, the scales just aren't balanced. I don't know how to clean it up. I sent some people to silence the men, but they’ve never come back."
Sidekick seemed to look more and more agitated. They sat themselves down and buried their hands in their hair. "I. I can’t send more. I was never anywhere near ready to take over from [Villain]. I know [Villain] doesn’t want to come back and I don't expect them to, but I just need guidance, some help."
Hero looked back at the shut door. "[Villain] adores those men, they breathed. "They just don’t think they deserve them anymore. That’s my fault, and I have to try and fix this... [Sidekick], I’ll help you however I can. I’ve… I’ve killed before, I. I can do it again if it pays off a little of my debts. 
With a flustered sigh, Sidekick went back to the door and knocked hard. "Please!" They called out. "I just don’t know what to do! [Villain's real name] please... Please, I don’t know what to do. You said you'd help me if I needed it!"
Villain took a deep breath. "Turn around, and walk away. I can't help you anymore. I can't help anyone."
Sidekick slammed their fist into the door in desperate anger before they stormed away. Hero could only follow wordlessly.
Villain slid down the wall, curled up, and sobbed. Everything they thought they'd been able to do for themselves felt like a lie. They couldn't even tell when Hero was in front of them! If only they could see, they'd do anything to be able to help, but no advice or guidance was going to help this case.
"I'm sorry," they whispered.
__________
Bad Henchman paced back and forth in front of Other Villain's desk, absent-mindedly tossing a diamond, their payment back and forth between each hand.
"You're ready for stage two now [Villain] is out of the picture thanks to my handiwork?" Other Villain asked.
"Absolutely. [Sidekick]'s got a network of ten thousand strong. I know the key to get them to work for you."
"And what is that?" Other Villain asked, leaning forward in their desk chair.
"[Villain]. Poor blind, weak [Villain] feeling sorry for themselves... But currently not defenceless. After some spying, I found out [Hero] is out there with them, looking after them. If we can draw [Hero] back to the city, then [Villain] is open to attack." Bad Henchman grinned and stopped pacing, spreading out their hands to emphasise their point.
"You take them, keep them locked away safe as a prisoner, and those men will do anything for you. Hell, if one were to go against your orders, all the others would turn on them for risking [Villain]’s life. If you told all ten thousand to walk into a giant cage, then for [Villain], they would."
"You're saying if I catch [Villain], the city is mine?" Other Villain laughed. "I knew hiring you was the right choice."
Other Villain stood up from their desk and went to a nearby cabinet, and started rummaging through it. "I will lure [Hero] to the city. I captured some of [Sidekick's] men last night, I'm sure [Sidekick] will ask for help. [Hero] just might answer on behalf of [Villain] if they're feeling as guilty as you say." Villain pulled out a vial of clear liquid. "Wait for my signal, then get me [Villain], alive and discreetly, and I will pay you and your accomplices generously. Inject them with this, and you should have no trouble from them."
Henchman took it curiously before pocketing it. "Consider it done." They started to walk away, but Other Villain called out. "One question. Why? Why did you turn against your leader?"
"They’re too good to be a villain. They thought they could keep me in line and I was sick of the shitty punishments. With you? Long as I stick to the guidelines, then I’m free to do whatever the hell I want." "Yes well," Other Villain grumbled, "just this once I must ask you to ensure there’s no further damage done. We don’t want to spoil the surprise, do we?"
Henchman smirked. "Absolutely not."
Like my stuff and want to support what I do? Then maybe consider buying me a Kofi? Ko-fi.com/morallygrey

Rules!
1. Themes will vary with this blog. Mystery Incorporated is PRETTY dark at times, so it’ll be what you expect there. To that end, dark themes, violence and maybe swearing.
I will try my best to tag everything. These will be under the format of swearing tw. If you’d like me to tag anything specific, don’t hesitate to ask through anon / inbox / im!
I don’t have any triggers but I do ask you tag all of your NSFW (sexual) content.
Mun is of age, and as such I won’t be writing anything of the sexual nature with minors.
2. I’m private, which means I only write with mutuals (this is for my own sanity / comfort; everyone’s cool!). I’ll write with canon, oc, and crossover characters.
Although I’m private, when it comes to following people, I’m selective. We don’t have to have known each other prior to write!
As for following back, I usually take a week tops to do so - but if you’ve hit up my promo, I go through that eventually.
If it’s a crossover, I have to know the fandom and be at least a little bit confident with it. This is so I’m able to work with you, our thread and have muse for it.
I follow the tag #trappingguy. If there’s anything you want me to see, like dash commentary, just tag that and x-kit will alert me of your post! I may respond to ic stuff ic stuff if I’m feeling it.
In that sense, I’m chill with dash shenanigans with most folk, not just mutuals!
Absolutely no godmodding. It ain’t fun, fam. If you’re not sure what this term means, do look it up. This includes powerplaying, metagaming, and other things of that nature. This applies especially in fights if they happen (I’m chance-based and hope that you are too).
I can be picky with OCs. But rest assured, if you’ve followed me/interacted with my promo, I’ll always give your pages a read.
Please don’t be offended if I don’t want to interact with you (and please don’t try to guilt me into doing so!).
I DON’T CARE ABOUT AESTHETICS. I just think they’re pretty. If you don’t use formatting or anything like that, or heck - even wanna’ just do iconless rp - I have no problem with it whatsoever! It’s you, your writing and your muse I care about!
3. Please don’t rush me for starters or responses.
PLEASE understand that I have blogs galore and my muse tends to fluctuate; this can mean I’m everywhere at once and can end up neglecting a blog or two. It’s nothing personal; you know how muses are!
I have a full-time job (and I’m trying to get into screenwriting in my off-time) so sometimes I’m scrapped for time or exhausted. I’m also an introvert who deals with anxiety and depression, thus that may affect how much / how often I roleplay. If I don’t get chance to respond to anything ic or ooc, it’s nothing personal! Promise!
Chances are, I’ve probably has seen that bit of interactivity and just haven’t gotten around to responding yet.
My roleplaying style being para/multi-para, I may take a while to respond. I hoard drafts like a dragon - it’s really just the motivation to write and ship those out.
I hoard asks, but sometimes can’t find muse or interest for all of them. If it’s been a month or two, generally assume I’m not interested / can’t find muse for it. You’re free to send another though!
I answer asks from anyone - personals, rp blogs and anons. I’ll answer non-mutual asks occaisonally but I won’t be making threads out of them
4. Shippings? If they’re of similar age, sure!
If I don’t happen to be interested, don’t force anything on my character.
I do not ship incestuous ships. Do NOT follow/interact if you do.
The ship has to have chemistry; I’m generally shipping trash, but if they don’t click, they don’t click, sorry.
This is a multi-ship blog, meaning there will be more than one ship without them conflicting with eachother.
If you want to ship and I already have a ship of your choosing going with a duplicate, please don’t hesitate to hmu! My ships aren’t exclusive and each character/relationship portrayal is unique to me!
Relationships are eternal until you deem otherwise. If you’re not interested in a ship anymore, just let me know!
5. Whilst I am of age, I’m not aiming for sexual content on this blog (and will not be dealing with fetishes). The occasional joke is fine, but anything beyond that makes me uncomfortable, and I typically don’t recommend pulling it with my character if you’re interacting with me. 
6. About reblogs…
I am not a meme source, and reblogs clog up my activity. Please reblog any memes you find on this blog from their SOURCE. The exception to this rule is if there is no source; go ahead.
I don’t feel comfortable with Personals reblogging my IC or OOC posts, so please don’t do that. If I put something in the fandom tags for whatever reason (bar promos), you’re free to, though.
This goes for my art too unless it has the tag ok to rb, but otherwise only the person I drew it for can reblog it. If you wanna’ reblog something, I DO put it on my art blog eventually!
A few times is fine, as it happens, but repeatedly breaking these rules will result in me soft blocking you.
I try to participate in reblog karma as much as I can, but always reblog from the source/a meme source.
If a post or ask is for you, you’re free to reblog it to save it though - but only if you’re an rp blog!
7. I’m a para / multi-para blog, novella if I’m adventurous and have time. Whilst I may roleplay crack threads with shorter responses, this does not apply to all threads I write. This means:
I write my replies as detailed as I can muster, and length can range from 1 paragraph to 6.
Short responses (such as one-liners) in more serious threads where I’ve written a decent deal can instantly kill my muse for that thread.
Whilst I’d prefer for partners to at least somewhat match my length, it’s entirely up to you - just try your best and make sure you give me enough to work with. ♡
If my muse happen to go nuts out of nowhere - like, overboard - don’t stress too much about matching him.
8. Threads! You can yeet asks, memes, and even starters at me if I’ve liked a call! I’ll obviously have my own you can like.
You’re free to like starter calls even if we’re not mutuals; I can check out your blog that way. I still only write starters for mutuals though.
Starter memes are the BEST way to interact me because they just yeet a prompt at my face and really help me write starters. If you see me reblog one, send one!
If you want a certain verse, lemme’ know! Otherwise, I’ll probably default to a post-canon verse.
If you want to turn an ask into a thread, go ahead!
I don’t recommend writing starters for me unless we’ve discussed something. I don’t like to leave anyone hanging.
Please don’t assume things about my muse. If you’re uncertain about things, ASK.
IMs are open to mutuals, if you want to do any in-depth plotting. I also have Discord if that’s more convenient for you!
For the moment, I’m sticking PRIMARILY to Mystery Incorporated canon with some other media sprinkled in. It’s just because Fred has a lot of media to cover and I haven’t binged his stuff yet.
9. Guidelines on mains and relationships:
If we’re mutuals and we interact a lot, you’re welcome to ask me if I’d like to be your main!
Please don’t be offended if I deny, though; I typically want to pick those I trust to be my mains as well as people I can comfortably write with.
Not limited to them! I roleplay with duplicates galore so don’t be afraid to hit me up if you want to interact!
Pre-established relationships are a-okay in my book; if you have an idea for a relationship between our muses we can work towards, hit me up! I reblog those pre-established relationship memes every so often too. Romantic relationships link back to the shipping guidelines.
Also, friendship/family/rivalry relationships are EXTREMELY valid to me - so don’t feel scared about asking for them!
10. If you have any issues, please let me know and hopefully we can resolve it!
Mun is actually super nice, so don’t be afraid to hit her up!
I am absolutely terrible with IMs and Discord. I either respond quickly or days later, depends on my mood. Social anxiety tends to interfere with this (and more recently exhaustion from work) - but honestly, if you’ve sent something, I’ve likely read it and just haven’t gotten around to it yet! It’s nothing personal; trust me!
Please leave me out of drama; I’m here to have a good time, as is everyone else, and it pains me to see people arguing.
This is a little different with callouts - if I see anything on dash pertaining to any problematic users, I will take it into consideration and rb it if I believe them to be harmful.
11. To retierate, I tend to follow those that:
Write para and whom I feel my muse would click with.
Seem chill? Tone can really intimidate me honestly.
Have rules and about pages! Knowing the boudaries of my rp partners is super important as well as their lovely muses! Sometimes rules are enough, though, if you’re going to write the about eventually.
Tag their nsfw.
Don’t have massive icons - ie, have rp icons that take up an entire text post like 500x500 or something. I don’t want to clog the dash and it’s tiring to resize them.
…also, if I follow your hub blog (provided it doesn’t double as a personal), it generally means I’m cool with any blogs that are attached to it.
12. On threads…
If you’re not interested in a thread anymore, and would like to drop it, please let me know! I’d feel terrible if we’re both not having fun with it or if partners feel overwhelmed with the amount of threads we have.
Honestly, unless I let you know, our threads have no expiry date - so no need to worry about me dropping them without telling you. I can just be quite slow sometimes.
13. Mun does not equal muse! Anything my muse might say does not reflect on how I think unless I explicitly say so.
14. Know that if I follow you, I WANT to interact with you.
I literally couldn’t care less about follower counts. I care about YOU guys and our interactions.
15. Icons.
I make all of my icons by myself, however credit for the icon shape and psd goes here and here.
16. Rules are subject to change.
Please like this post if you’ve read the rules! You don’t have to, but it’s of personal reassurance to me if you have.

Basic tips on handling Harassment/Bullying on Tumblr
Anyway, here is some basic advice for people handling harassment on this site in particular. Please remember that, with any advice, there can be flaws. This is based on my personal experiences, and is not a uniform way to handle this for every situation or person.
Before we even get to numbering some tips, I personally want to tell you that whatever bullying or harassment is going on is NOT YOUR FAULT and if you don’t feel equipped to handle this situation at all, please immediately reach out to a parent/guardian, an authority figure, a therapist, a more equipped friend, etc. Please try to someone who can help you. You shouldn’t have to handle this on your own. And if you can’t find someone or just don’t have anyone, I’m around a good part of the day and I’ll reply to messages within 1-3 hours at the most during the day and within 12 or so hours if you contact me at night. (I’m at Eastern Standard Time) I will do my best to advise you or even just be an ear for you. If I can’t help, I will direct you to the best person I know of who can. 
To friends of those being harassed or bullied:  Please try to keep an eye on your friends in general, and reach out (If you can) if you see bullying posts or see them responding to cruel anons. They might not know you can or will help, or might feel isolated and forced to try to handle the situation on their own. If you feel that you can help, even just to support them, then please reach out. It’s important, though, to remember that if you don’t know how to help, it’s okay to say that and direct them to someone else. If you aren’t in a place where you can help, it’s okay to say that. It’s better to let them know this, so they can find someone else to speak to about it.
Content warning: Mentions of suicidal thoughts, bullying, harassment, DOXXING.
Basic tips on handling harassment on Tumblr:
1: I know a lot of advice tells you to isolate yourself, lest you give a bully any opportunity to harass you. I always disliked this kind of advice, but I also sometimes use this advice when I don’t feel mentally or physically able to handle any kind of negative situation at the time. If you are not in a position to deal with potential cruel anons, I highly recommend you turn off the anon option in your inbox. Your friends and kind people are typically more likely to send you messages with their account showing. Even if this lowers your chances of receiving anonymous nice messages, it also protects you from a lot of potential hate messages. Most bullies love to hide behind anonymity, and will abuse this function to no end. If you aren’t prepared to handle that (as I advise later), you should keep it off until you are. I know this is technically a form of limiting yourself, but this is meant more as a ‘take care of your mental health first’, then see where you’re at and turn it on when you feel ready. The anon feature can be really great, when it’s used for positive things or people asking for help/advice while keeping themselves protected. But it’s important to remember that you are the only one who can gauge what you are comfortable with or prepared to handle. [IE: I’ve had a lot of people talking about wanting to die in anon messages, and if that’s triggering to you that can be bad but also: Unless you’re a professional in the field of mental health, this isn’t a situation you are really equipped to deal with.]
2: Dealing with Pile-Ons or multiple/single cruel anon messages. These happen a lot. Far too often, to be honest. A lot of us have been in this situation, and some of us have been on the piling side of the situation. Ever see a bad take on here and feel the urge to message them directly to let them know it’s a bad take? Yeah, a lot of people have felt that way, and a lot actually follow through. Now, even if this person is saying really awful stuff, what you’re doing is technically taking part in a Pile-On. I’m not saying you’re wrong to disagree or let this person know that what they’re saying is harmful or bad, but don’t be fooled into thinking you’re the only one messaging them. 
Now, being on the other side of this, especially when you didn’t say anything harmful and people are just being awful (Or, for example, you accidentally say something that isn’t correct and instead of one or two people politely letting you know that you’re wrong so you can change, the entire website decides you must die.) it just really stinks. It’s stressful beyond belief, it’s really hard to manage, and sometimes it can go on for years. (See: a certain artist in a certain TV show fandom I won’t mention.) This is a bit of a process, and a lot of it might feel like you’re giving up or giving them some kind of ‘win’, but that’s not what it is. 
Part A: Take a moment to stop the head-spinning anxiety of a sudden mass-assault. It’s a LOT, and it can be seriously damaging to even the thickest-skinned individuals. Take a step back, close Tumblr, take some deep breaths, find someone to talk to about the situation, or go to safe space where you can relax for a moment. IMPORTANT: Please don’t be afraid to reach out to a parent/guardian, friends, etc to handle the situation for you. If you trust someone with your information or account, it’s okay to let them take these steps for you. You are NOT weak for doing this. 
Part B: Block IP addresses of anon bullies. First and foremost, always remember you can block people. It might seem like a form of ‘giving in’ or whatever, and maybe the ragelords of the internet like to chortle and cheer when they get blocked by someone they’re harassing, but honestly that’s more an act than actual happiness that they’re blocked. They aren’t happy you cut them off mid-rant. They aren’t happy they can’t hurt you anymore. You stopped them from reaching you, and now they are forced out of their comfortable space where they can sit there and harass you all day long. They actually have to DO something else, either harass someone else (unfortunately) or find another way to reach you (unfortunately part 2). A lot of these people do stop after they are blocked, especially when you block their IP address. (Which is what happens when you block an anon person harassing you.) You can find this option under the anon message as three dots in your inbox on the computer ONLY. (mobile does not have this option, only ‘delete’.) I highly recommend you do this early on, especially if you’re dealing with a ‘pile-on’ situation. Because each anon could be one person, or five. Blocking the anon IP address will cut down on a wave of messages from a single person, and give you a chance to start working on the next person.
Note: You CAN report harassment in your inbox, but they usually only do something if they’re harassing you off anon. (I never had any luck reporting anon messages in the past. Idk if this has changed.) If they are harassing you with their account visible, go to ‘Reporting’ below, and follow the report directions.
If you want to engage, for whatever reason you want to, I still highly recommend you block them. For engagement, I suggest taking a screen shot of the message(s) before blocking and making a response post. This way they have no way to respond or even see the content, and you can say whatever you wish in response to the harassment if you wish to. This does not stop them from getting friends to share the content with them, or making another account on another IP address to continue to harass you. I would generally not encourage engaging, but I also can’t honestly say not to when I have done so, myself. I understand the urge, I understand wanting to get your side out there or to explain yourself. It’s your right to. But always try to consider the situation before doing so. 
Part C: Moving forward. Depending on the reason why the pile-on started, sometimes taking a break from Tumblr can really help. Once people get their rage out, or scroll past the post, a lot of the time they move on. [I can 100% say that this is NOT ALWAYS THE CASE] This, again, is a difficult situation that doesn’t really have one simple trick to handle. Some cases end up being so bad that people have had to contact the police, and some are handled after reporting accounts to the Tumblr staff. Some people simply delete the ‘offending post/comment’ and move on, and some people post an amendment in a lot of cases of accidental miss-information. Honestly, it’s really up to you how you handle the ‘cause’ itself, but in regards to anon messaging, it’s typically best to simple block their IP address and not engage. 
3: How to report harassing blog posts. Is someone posting ‘receipts’ or screen shots of your content on their blog and writing nasty rants about you? This is a case of ick that I really hate dealing with, because it typically means relying on Tumblr staff which are… notoriously unhelpful, in some cases. (See: Why Are There Still Millions of Nazis On This Site?) In this case, make sure you can still access their blog and see their content. If they have blocked you, ask a friend to help you or make a second account simply to get the post link for a report. You can find this link under the post in the feed with the ‘arrow’ looking button under the post. You want the ‘Permalink’. You might also need screen shots of the posts, so try to grab those as well as the direct link to the post. At this point, you will need to venture into the Tumblr reporting area, which is  often changing and half the time you can’t find it, so depending on when you see this post, it might be best to check this out yourself. 
On the computer: Use this form: https://www.tumblr.com/abuse
(You can also use this form if you sign in on Tumblr on Safari/GoogleChrome on your phone.)
On mobile: Go to Account—>General Settings—>Report Abuse—>I’m being harassed (or whichever option seems more appropriate)
From there they will advise you on blocking and other advice on how to handle it without them getting involved. If these work for you, great! If not, continue to: ‘If the block feature has not solved this issue, you can report here.’ Be ready with your links, if there are any, or select the ‘being harassed in inbox’ option if you are receiving harassing messages in your inbox. They will email you an automated response almost immediately, in most cases, and you will probably have to wait around a week for an actual response depending on the situation and if they’re busy or whatever the staff are doing at the time. Until then, I highly recommend you block the person harassing you, if only to cut off their access to your content.
4: DOXXING. What is it? This is when your personal information is sought out, collected, then posted publicly for all to see. It’s an incredibly dangerous thing to happen to you, especially if you are a minor or in any situation where that information could be used against you. (So basically all the time.) It’s also so overwhelming and scary that a lot of the time it can simply shut you down. 
IMPORTANT REMINDER 1: If your life is in immediate danger, remove yourself from the address/space that was revealed and contact the police as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT REMINDER 2: If you do not feel equipped to handle this situation, please do not feel like you can’t ask for help! 
The first thing I’ve seen a lot of DOXXED people do is get the post(s) with the information taken down as fast as possible. In this case, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook staff are usually quicker to respond and assist with removing the post, especially if you are a minor. On Tumblr, use this form: https://www.tumblr.com/abuse 
If you are a minor, at this point I highly recommend you speak to a parent or guardian or someone with authority about what’s going on. They will need to know if this information is out, and how to handle your safety at home or any location that was disclosed. A lot of cases involve the police at one point or another, so, unfortunately, be ready to sit there and be asked a bunch of questions. 
An important part of handling this situation, if and when you have the post(s) taken down, is making sure your information is secure. This means checking potential sources, data leaks (You can use several sites to find if your info has been leaked, but CreditKarma offers a basic service for this. They basically let you know if you have an email or password that’s been released.) possible friends or family who were spoken to, old profiles that weren’t set to private, etc. Finding the source is a good way to stop the leak of information. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop the person who already HAS the information. This is when it gets tricky, because in most cases simply reporting the person doesn’t tend to stop them. Their account can be removed, they can be blocked from sites, etc. But if they’re really determined, they can make other accounts and get that information out there. This is, again, really when the police should be involved. 
At this point, a lot of professionals suggest locking down accounts and phone numbers that have been released. I know this might feel like giving in, and that they ‘win’, but this is really more about your safety and mental security than anything else. If you can, use a backup account to talk to friends/family/etc and to keep an eye on the situation if you feel up to the task.  
5: Continued harassment spread across the net. If the harassment continues outside of this site: Start by blocking and reporting on other sites and see if that helps first. At this point, though, it’s a good idea to consider talking to an adult (if you’re a minor) and consider the possibility of contacting the police. Most importantly, don’t listen to anyone tell you that because this is the internet, it’s not having real consequences on you. This is serious, and they need to treat it seriously.
Contacting the police or a person of authority is kind of a daunting experience for anyone, but it can be especially hard when we’re told from all angles that ‘whatever is on the internet isn’t real’. That we can just block and ignore it, and go on with our lives. So, I’m saying this right now: I can’t promise the person of authority that you contact will take this seriously. I simply can’t promise that, because I don’t know what they are like or what the believe.
But if the bullying/harassment is damaging you, if it is going on too long, if it’s spreading across social media platforms, if they’re sharing your personal information, if they’re threatening you in ANY way, if you feel unsafe, if you feel suicidal, if you can’t get it to stop: Please find someone and contact them.

Why do you take so long to post or reply to things? Things change so much quicker than we realise, that by the time you post something it will have been weeks or perhaps even months later that clearly something has changed, and when we want to update, that takes weeks or months to be posted as well, leaving us feeling far behind. Even time sensitive asks you take ages answering to where what you say is no longer helpful or needed. You can post more than 3 times a day, you know.
I... wow
You know this is a thing I do in my spare time, right? That this isn’t something I’m obliged to do, that I could just close my askbox, but I do it because I want to help the people who have come to me for help. Maybe if this was my day job, I’d be able to respond to things immediately, but it’s not. I have other shit going on in my life - until recently I was in university, I have a job, I have things I need to do to take care of myself, I have my own relationship and friends and family, and I have my own mental health to take care of. You are not entitled to my time and energy. 
Contrary to what your completely unnecessary sarcasm implies, I am in fact aware that circumstances can change in the amount of time it can take me to get things posted on this blog. So your implication that I’m just, what, sitting around for shits and giggles blissfully unaware that things occur as time passes?? is... idek what could possibly have been going through your head whilst writing this ask. 
I do as much as I’m able to do to get things out and published as fast as is sustainable for me. I currently answer at least 8 asks per day. If they’re detailed advice asks or if I’m having a rough executive function day, that can take up to two hours. I then queue them because it gives me a bit of leeway if I’m too busy or don’t have the mental energy one day to respond to what can be quite complex and emotionally heavy pieces, and it allows me to keep my posting schedule consistent. At any one time, there can be anywhere from 30 to 100 things in my inbox. I have made my posting schedule and delay in posting asks explicitly clear in multiple places on my blog, including the post linked in my bio that I ask people to read before sending things in. I’ve provided links to carefully cultivated FAQ posts for people to access in the meantime, and maybe 70% of the asks I received at one point pertained to one or more of the issues there. If time is an issue, there are other blogs people can go to - I’m not anyone’s therapist or the emergency services or anything like that, and I’m not the only person who offers advice on this whole website. 
The only times it takes months for things to be posted is when I’ve not been able to work on this blog due to other things going on in my life (like: when I’ve had to step back for mental health reasons because my executive function was in the toilet, and my debilitating mental health symptoms meant I needed to use all of my available energy just to do the bare minimum. Or during coursework deadline season for the final year of my undergrad, in which 95% of my mental energy was dedicated entirely to finishing pieces of work that my entire degree classification was dependent upon). In those instances, things pile up and it can take some time to clear the backlog, but that’s rarely the case. 
Usually, it’s more like a week, maybe 10 days, which I’m working on reducing now that I have a bit more time on my hands. I’m aware that the sitting in the queue can delay things by quite a bit, but it’s a necessary part of keeping this blog sustainable, which is why I encourage people to let me know if things are urgent. Time sensitive asks take maybe a few days, which is again another thing I’m working on fixing now that my mental health is starting to get back into a place where I can mostly function like a normal human being. 
I am under no obligation to undertake any of the labour that I do for this blog - I do it because seeing the happiness that it brings to others is a source of great joy for me. I already feel a lot of guilt when I struggle to keep up with the demand or when I’m not able to answer things as quickly as I would want to. It pains me that I can’t do more to help people. But I’m just one human and this is just one of the many plates I’m trying to keep spinning at once on super limited mental resources. I would love to be able to answer everything super quickly, and I’m working on improving the timescale, but right now this is as much as I’m able to do whilst keeping the workload sustainable enough that my schedule isn’t going to collapse under the first hint of duress. 
And it’s SUPER entitled of you to demand more of a total stranger’s uncompensated time and energy, especially when you say shit like this with such a condescending tone. Being an asshole about it isn’t going to suddenly imbue me with the ability to do everything faster. If you want to demand immediate responses from me, pay me for my time. Or better yet, remember that the person behind these posts is a real human being doing their best to help people, and stop acting like you have some kind of god-given right to my time.

i’ve had a couple of inquiries about how the queue works recently (and why i haven’t published certain submissions yet)
so a bit about the process behind running this blog and why you might not have seen your submission get posted (yet) and what to do about it:
this blog wound up way, way more wildly popular than i ever imagined. it is my most followed blog to date, and i never dreamed about how many submissions it might get! 
because of that, the inbox is very full and the queue is very long. at this point the queue has about 100 posts in it, and the inbox has about 650 mod ideas in it (and maybe a handful of non-mod messages mixed in). 
the posts you see on the blog tend to have been submitted about 3 months before they go up. i’m still queueing posts that were sent in late november 2018
sometimes there are hiccups with my inbox, where you submit something and it doesn’t find it’s way to me. sometimes i try to queue something and it disappears from my inbox and does not reappear in the queue (i cannot figure out why this happens, but chalk it up to tumblr being poorly designed? if i catch it happening, which i have a couple of times, and i remember your url, i’ll send you a message asking you to resubmit it). 
if you send me something offensive, i’m going to delete your submission (ie: it contains slurs, makes derogatory jokes about a members of marginalized communities, is generally in poor taste, or discusses commonly triggering topics like suicide, murder, or sexual assault, etc). 
if your mod is similar to something already queued or posted, i delete it. sorry! i just don’t want the blog to get too repetitive for long-time followers. if you want to avoid this, you can search the blog by tags to see if your idea might already be on it somewhere. 
if your mod revolves around poop, adding a poop metre, the player character needing to poop, etc, i get a few of these per week and any submission related to poop gets deleted at this point for sheer lack of originality. if you send a stunningly original poop mod an exception may be made. (and yes, ha ha, it’s a literally shitty mod, it’s just getting repetitive at this point, and you must admit that even at the best of times a poop joke is low-hanging fruit on the comedy tree). 
similar to the poop mods, if your mod is about dating, hugging, romancing the ender dragon, or endermen, i’ve seen it before. exceptionally creative ender dragon and endermen mods only! 
if your mod references another game or some other media, and that game/ media is relatively obscure, i will probably pass over it. sorry! i’m trying to keep it so the mods are understandable to most people without doing any google searching or research on what’s being mentioned.
if you sent me a direct message, rather than an ask or submission, i try to catch this as much as possible and let you know/ ask you to resubmit your idea via my inbox. but i might not notice! so double check. 
if you still think your post has been overlooked, and you remember what it was, please send it again! please don’t send me the same thing 10-20 times, just resubmit it once or twice, or feel free to shoot me a direct message asking if i can find your post in my queue or inbox (results may vary, the queue and inbox are pretty full and hard to hunt for specific things in).
sometimes i may slip up and queue a more recent submission before some of the older ones. navigating a 600+ ask & submission inbox is pretty new for me. but generally i’m working my way forwards in time. 
if you submit more than one mod in a row, i also try to space them out, so i skip ahead to some later mods by other people, then circle back to some of yours. some of you are really frequent submitters, any i don’t want to just post all your ideas at once! (does this seem fair? i hope it does. i’m doing this in the interest of fairness and giving as many people as possible a chance to get their ideas up on the blog).  
if you’re sure you submitted a post before ~november 20, 2018 and you haven’t seen it, please consider resubmitting it if you remember what your idea was. you can also search the blog by your url to see if it got posted and you missed it!
oh, and if your post could be interpreted as halloween themed i might just be saving it for next october. spooooky. 
also if you want me to promo your server: please send that request via direct message, not my inbox, and be prepared to answer a few questions about your server and yourself (or link me to your blog where i can get my questions answered) ! i want to make sure i’m promoting relatively safe and non-toxic communities. it’s a pretty firm value of mine.  
whew! that was long. if you have any other questions or frustrations, feel free to reply to this post, or shoot me a direct message. 
as long as you’re willing to be kind and friendly-ish you can send me a message any time! i’d also appreciate it if you choose to message me for any question/ complaint/ non-mod related topic of conversation you might have, rather than hitting up my inbox for those, because as i’ve mentioned, my inbox is very full, and i’m working through it starting with the oldest submissions and asks, so i probably won’t catch your query for quite some time if you send it there. 
also if you just want a person to talk to i think i’m a generally nice human, and i’m always happy to chat! really. you can send me a message about anything. i can’t promise i’ll reply right away, and i might leave the conversation hanging at the end a bit (a combination of my adhd, awkwardness, and being very bad at small talk), but i’ll do my best to get back to anyone who shoots me a message.
