obsessively detailed DNIs and lack of good faith reading of strangers' words and discussing the rights to exclude xyz for being too weird for your (public) space and this person reblogged a post from a person who follows a person who follows a person who's suspect and righteous anger over any and every misstep of performance and waiting to catch people out and complete lack of trust and...
are you guys... happy?
do you have people around you that form a community? people who aren't carbon copies of yourself or online yes men? do you know people who aren't your age/gender/race/ethnicity/body/brain/don't have the same financial background, educational story, etc?
not all of these all at once all at the same time, but do you go outside your head, is what I mean?
do you remember that other people are people? have you had the opportunity to train yourself to have grace for the fact that everyone has faults and blindspots and perspectives that come from a life led differently, and that to hear and take in those differences make you richer, more understanding, less shut off?
are you able to discuss things while understanding that there is a middle ground? do you think anger and despair are the only emotions worth accessing in order to be a "good" person?
do you have people around you that aren't like you?
are you happy?
#happy pride#idk im preaching to the choir here im sure#but over the last year ive been trying to follow people in communities that i am a part of and/or want to support#and it seems like they're 1. online all the time 2. angry in ways that lead nowhere 3. quite young?#and im thinking back to me 10 years ago and i was SO angry and so isolated and so terrified of other people#and it wasnt as bad to be online then as it is now in terms of You Have To Prove Yourself Worthy And Flagellate Constantly#ive had to unfollow practically every one of those blogs and not because i dont feel warm towards the people who run them#but it's not activism and it's not good for you#also i have looked at exactly 2 dnis out of interest and i understood like... half the words/abbreviations#they're really not a useful tool and they don't appear to be for anyone but a small crowd who understand them anyway?#and even then i think they're more for people who understand and DO agree than those who don't who Will Not Care#anyway..... wheres that post about *this pride get out of your head* yes!#also idk if this needs to be said but im not saying *talk to a violent extremist who wants you dead today*#(and if you believe that then see the bit about *lack of good faith reading*)#also tbh i did one time reach out to someone and go *hey this post is deeeeply dogwhistly* but tbh that was more about like#*i think ace people are gonna look at that post and literally read it as hate it's that surface level#and you probably don't want that reaction*#but checking back and back and back on post origins idk... i think we're using dogwhistles a little too liberally sometimes

Give Love a Chance || Original Post
the other day @ladykailitha posted something that just sparked so much joy, i decided i absolutely had to expand upon and write a full story abt it. idk how fast i’ll work on this, as my main focus currently is on the big bang fic, but i wanted to post a prologue/teaser of sorts. (side note: i am definitely stealing piratefishmama’s layout, shhh)
enjoy! -rowan
Steve wasn’t sure how he had gotten here, to be honest. Well, he did, but he didn’t know it would actually get this far. He would like to place the blame on either Dustin or Robin—or both, both was good, too. The point was, Steve was completely faultless in it.
When Steve got home earlier, after a long day at work, he had checked the mail, as he usually does. He saw a letter addressed to him, which, to be fair, makes sense, seeing as it was in his mailbox, but it was the sender that had surprised him. It had been several weeks—at least—since Robin and Dustin had cornered him and forced him to fill out an application to be a bachelor on Give Love a Chance, and he had honestly forgotten about it. He had only agreed to submit an application to the show because he had been so sure that he wasn’t going to make the cut. Who would want to watch a dumb reality love gameshow with Steve as the bachelor? A middle school guidance counselor with a five year old daughter?
Steve had still held that opinion even as he opened the envelope and pulled out the contents. The confidence in his thoughts only waned when he began to read the letter, his eyes had slowly widened and his mouth fell open. He reached for his cell, instinctually calling Robin as he reread the contents of the letter.
“Y’ello?”
“Did you seriously just answer with—nevermind. Robin tell me why the fuck I’m staring at a letter telling me I was chosen to be on Give Love a Chance?” He asked, pacing the length of his kitchen.
“Oh my God!” Robin shouted from his phone, causing Steve to wince and adjust his hearing aid. “Why do you sound upset? This is what you agreed to! This is why we sent in the application in the first place! This is great news!”
“Robin, you and I both know that I only agreed because I thought nothing would come of it.” Steve said flatly, checking the time on the stove. He still had twenty or so minutes before he needed to leave to grab Matilda from preschool. “I’m going to tell them I changed my mind.”
“Absolutely not! I’ll never forgive you. Dustin will never forgive you.”
“What? Am I supposed to just do the show?”
“Yes!” Robin said enthusiastically. Steve let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“What am I going to do with Mattie, huh? I can’t just take her with me, she has school!”
“Dustin already told you that he and Will would take her in!”
“‘Take her in’? Rob, she isn’t a stray cat. She’s a whole tiny human.” Steve said with heavy exasperation. “He may have said that, but that doesn’t mean he will say the same thing now! There’s a difference between us joking about me getting accepted and the reality of taking care of a four year old!” Steve walked to the kitchen sink, filled himself a glass of tap water and set it to the side.
“So, we ask them again! I’m sure they’ll agree! You know they’ve been wanting to adopt! You can think of this as practice for them!”
Steve stared blankly out of the window above his kitchen sink, then groaned loudly and tipped his head back to glare at the ceiling.
“I don’t think I can leave her for the month—or more—it’ll take to film.” Steve admitted with a frown. He could immediately feel Robin’s shift in demeanor with the soft sigh she let out.
“Oh, dingus. You’ll be okay. We can video call her everyday while we're gone.” Robin said softly, trying to soothe him. “I think you should give it a go. You deserve to give love a chance.”
Steve let out a loud groan, which dissolved into a soft laugh. “You did not just say that.”
“I did.”
“That was so bad.”
“I know. But it’s true!”
“You’ll be with me?”
“Every step of the way.”
“..Fine.”
—x—
Dear Steve Harrington,
Congratulations! You have been selected as one of the bachelors to move forward into the next stage—interviewing and filming! We believe you are a perfect fit, and cannot wait to have you at our Los Angeles studio!
If you are still interested, please contact us via email to receive more details about what comes next.
Thank you,

"Transl. from Eliksni" Flavor Text translated into Eliksni Conlang
Here are those flavor text lines I've been mentioning in every SotConlang post since the dawn of time! Finally! These were more of a "chip at it when there's downtime" project, since they're fairly short and simpler compared to than Null Composure. I'm very proud of them, as this is the culmination of several months of background work and my first completed translation project! *throws confetti*
side note: on Ishtar Collective, some items say "transl. from Eliksni" and others say "trans. from Eliksni". i definitely didn't only just find that out when I was close to being done w the original lines i found..... anyway idk what the reason for the difference is (probably diff ppl wrote the flavor texts) but now you all know if you want to go look these up yourselves. I made them all say "transl." for consistency here.
Translations are all below the cut, plus maybe some notes if I have the room/energy to write them!
New here and confused? This post is part of my ongoing project to create a language for the Eliksni! For more information check out my masterpost linked here.

"I was at the Final Attempt. I saw a Guardian wield a gun that left molten gold in her wake. I ran and never looked back." —Avrok, transl. from Eliksni

Greyraabt iruuksis klii, giire el ilo estyrem.
That was a whole lot of stuff so I think I'll leave the notes out (theyre not anything super special anyway lol). Might reblog to add some rambles later if anyone is interested!

Hellooo, sorry to bother you for this and maybe you've already said this but djskjs
Since you are posting all this link click musical content, do you have a weibo account? When you're looking for the content, do you use the app or the website? Cause I don't have an account and I've been looking through it on the browser but I only really find a few posts, meanwhile you seem to have an entire mine 😂 I wonder if there's really a difference or if there's something else I'm unaware of...
I don't wanna miss a single video 😂
But anyways thank you for sharing all the content and the info 🙏🏻❤️
Ayy it's okay, I'm happy to share ^^
No, I don't have a weibo account. I use a website (computer is more optimal for managing files). As for the rest I may have some tips ✨
1. Basic navigating tips (I've learnt it like a lab monkey, by pushing buttons, idk chinese): #音乐剧时光代理人# is the tag for LC musical. 2 last tabs on a left matter the most. The play button is tab with videos, first filter (the orange one) is for most popular, the other is for most recent.
Tumblr media
The one below play button, a photo, is for pictures. They show from the most recent ones and I think you can scroll through them freely.
*For more convenient browsing and a chance to find extra photos that weren't properly tagged I recommend visiting profiles that posted the pics.
*second tab, the speech bubble one, is for discussion I think, it's sometimes useful for audience reviews etc.
2. If you don't have an acc weibo limits your access to older videos (message belows tells you to sign in to see more)
Tumblr media
So I visit this tab just to check if anything interesting happened in the most recent play.
3. Bilibili doesn't seem to limit your access to older content, so for browsing videos use the #音乐剧时光代理人# on Bilibili. You can google translate the website to figure out the layout options, then go back to chinese ver (you must view original ver for clips to show up) and explore from there.
*Tbh I don't keep up with the videos much bc it's all the encore from different days. If anything big happens I learn about it from the photos, then look for the clips from that particular performance.
4. Check @接着奏乐接着舞Musicals (official profile of the musical's company). They post summary clips and photos from the play as well as cast announcements.
5. Check the actors' weibo accounts. A post where I tag and link to all of main trio actors. THIS IS IMPORTANT (my secret of having 200+ pics of LG & CXS actors). I'll use Cai Qi's acc as an example:
Tumblr media
a) Go on their weibo.
b) Copy and paste their weibo tag into the search bar.
Tumblr media
c) Look for a post with photos of them (can be from other play, doesn't matter)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
d) THIS! We're looking for this diamond-shaped tag symbol 🔍
e) Click it and you're home 😌:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
f) (ok I have no idea what IS this diamond tag) BUT it looks like a verified vip account, that not all people can tag. I suspect it's something like 'pay to tag your idol'/'highlight my post to a tagged person' twitter subscription kind of thing idk. Edit: It's a person-specific tag, like #, not direct @. What matters is that it has ALL hardcore stans in one place, posting videos, fancams and photos of that one specific actor in chronological from most recent order. Sadly it also limits non-users to newer posts only.
g) For clips with the actor go to the second tab on the top.
Tumblr media
h) Third tab is for images. You can browse through the minatures but won't be able to enlarge them without the acc. So go back to the first tab, scroll, find yourself a batch that you haven't seen before, like here and visit OP's profile. It's the most probable to stumble upon a theatre kid who's already been to the LC musical, so you can find more content on there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i) Scroll until you find the post with photos, click one of them, and then the highlighted option to access the highest quality image aand there you have it ✨
Tumblr media
j) If you scroll and reach a user-only limit without finding the post you saw under the vip tag, there's a roundabout way to this >>
k) Scroll back up, and go to the last tab. It's the image albums tab. Look for the album with the theatre/actor photos. It seems the albums have no recency limit, you can see older posts without weibo acc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I feel kinda creepy for digging through people's profiles, but I swear weibo seems public like twitter and I have a tunnel vision to find LC content only)
So that was probably a core difference by the way I look for these things ><' Hopefully I explained it well enough. The biggest disadvanages of this method is you're still able to access only the most recent posts. That's why I made bookmarks to check them everyday.
Another thing is that not all actors in LC musical cast have a well established stan community who would post in the vip tag. They mostly do, but actors like Du Guangyi, Cai Qi, Teng Chunpeng, Zhang Jiahao, Wu Yihan or Wang Minhui tend to overshadow the rest by a sheer amount of fan pictures :'>

Hope it was a comprehensible read, and thanks for asking 💝

Hello there, friend.
I see you have found my blog. My deepest condolences. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy your stay here! ^^
Here's a link to a page where you can learn everything there is to know about me!
. . .
No? Not satisfied? Back for more? Well then, here's an easier breakdown for you:
Call me Pho!
My pronouns are she/they + bonus prns if you want. Don't always vibe with labels because the thing with labels is that they Change Often, but tumblr decided that I’m aroace so that’s the closest you’ll get I think 👍
I mostly post about MCYT (Empires, Hermitcraft, Life Series, etc), but there's some multifandom stuff sprinkled in there as well. Lately I've been consumed by dunmeshi, so there's that too.
I'm the admin of the @bad-traffic-smp-ideas blog! Come check it out, we have fun <3
I'll occasionally reblog religious things, as I am religious. I currently don't tag for it (or tag for most other things for that matter) but if you ask politely I'd be happy to ^^
Legally, I'm an adult, so if you're one of the "18+ dni" people, don't follow! (Adult content levels are typically pretty low, though.)
We're a diagnosed DID system, but it's not all that relevant to what we post here (except for when alters are being silly on main) so we don't talk about it a lot lol, but collective name is Noodles and collective pronouns are they/them if you're wondering! (pronouns.cc <- sys intro thing)
I have a sideblog for more personal and sys-related things that mutuals + friends from discord + whoever I deem worthy enough can follow. If you think you're one of these people, dm to ask for it :)
I also have a sideblog where I'll reblog all my art from here. It's a wip, but it'll be tagged here when it's done being set up ^^
Don't get us involved in discourse, we don't care.
[Sona ref coming soon, promise]
(Tag system + more under cut!)
“pho.posts” - my original posts!
“pho.asks” - asks for me :3c
“pho.reblogs” - reblogs from other people
"pho.saves" - me saving things for later
“pho.doodles” - my art :)
"pho.writes" - my (occasional) writing lol
"pho.crochets" - what it sounds like, I like to crochet!
"pho.polls" - occasional poll idk
“leftover.noodles” - self reblogs, or something like that
"butterflies.and.wind.chimes" - au* tag! tl;dr it's Empires s1 but Oli TheOrionSound is there and him and Joel are goofy together ^^ (<- if I'm talking about an au, 95% of the time it's this one)
(*original basis by @/eevee-eclair + @/mushroommushy, then we snowballed it into a whole other thing and made it 10x more complicated than it needed to be /silly)
. . .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you made it to the very end, drop a like! I love you <3

\o/
hi! it's me, nana / koinotame!
if you're wondering why i went inactive and then deleted, my mental health kind of (really) tanked... and i ended up deleting my blog in a fit.
Tumblr media
it's getting better bit by bit though! and i've been wanting to get back into writing (and talking abt my unhinged/yan ideas i can't really talk to anyone else abt), so. here i am! for now, at least
as for my previously posted writing, there's some good news and some bad news: the bad news is that everything i wrote directly into tumblr (99% of snippets, a lot of ask answers, most exact content warnings, etc) is gone. the slightly less bad news is that iirc there were very very few posts of mine that weren't reblogged by anyone at all, so they're probably still out there? feel free to send them my way if you find any and i'll rb them. @/midnight-remembrance also has reblogged a couple of them! there's a couple snippets i have saved in some places, so i might repost those on my own as i find them, but there's very few of those. the good news is that anything longer (proper writing — oneshots, hcs, yan alphabet responses and so on, prompt responses, etc) is safely backed up where i originally wrote it! some of it is also on my ao3, which is the same username. feel free to send me asks about any you'd like to see again and i'll repost them! i might not post them if i feel too embarrassed about/wish i hadn't posted them, and i might rewrite/heavily edit some of them, but i think there's only a handful that fall into the former category and none of them were particularly popular. either way, no harm in asking!
as for some other updates: i'm a little divided on whether i want to keep posting explicit nsfw or not so we'll see. i might just keep it out of main tags. idk yet. regardless of what decision i make, this blog is still strictly 18+ and that will not be changing. since we can reply from sideblogs now, this is a sideblog and not my main now. why? sometimes i prefer to check up on a blog frequently instead of following them for a couple of reasons, but this felt very awkward when they were following me. so this being a sideblog relieves a bit of that stress. if this makes it sound like i have severe brain worms, it's because i do. to that effect though, if we interact every so often feel free to consider us mutuals regardless of whether or not i'm actually following you =w=b tbh i.............. am not really into genshin anymore. i might post about it here and there but i just Do Not (really) Care about it anymore. scara aside to some degree i also have no clue what's going on post inazuma lol whatever projects or commitments to writing or etc i had made beforehand. i forgot all of them so just pretend that never happened ok? ok i'll also probably be posting more sparsely, but we'll see! and (this is obviously the most important bit) i have no clue where i put the mika edit so we're back to my og classic pfp. the header scales terribly and is temporary, please ignore that too
all that aside, as a treat for anyone who sees this in time,
*roughly 6/22 done, but fairly quick to write. roughly one paragraph per character (sneak peek line: "it's not too hard to be discreet with his unique magic when someone really deserves to fall face down a flight of stairs. or three. oopsie. odd they don't remember it, huh? well, he had nothing to do with that.") **more realistic isn't quite the right word(s)... probably won't post this one to the main tags regardless. won't be doing all of the characters (only important/relevant ones) and won't be writing more about/expanding on, so this one is just like. a one off experiment sort of thing. overall less violent than most takes on the au + leans a bit (or lot, depending on how you look at it) more on the religious aspect of self aware aus. i wrote a couple paragraphs a while ago, then rewrote them, but i'll only finish/post them if there's interest for it (sneak peek line: "aether has deluded himself and cast You aside entirely on his own—and when You finally grace them with Your real presence, zhongli is certain aether will be the first to fall from Your grace.")
i have one other new thing immediately ready for posting that'll get posted in a couple of days but that one's pretty silly

About pre-virus ruin, ye, I suppose that's true. Thinking about it more, I do hope the showrunners keep it that way. Something about seeing them at their silliest and then getting the massive WHIPLASH after seeing them like THIS is... it's sad. I like to think we witnessed two character deaths that video. It's just that one started dying 50 years ago :') (l like to imagine their silliness originated from somewhere at least and was not all made up. A remnant from simpler times...) (1/10)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaaah yea! And... if they end up giving us a backstory of them... I just reaaally want to see how they were dealing with the virus and adjusting to everyone around them being infected... I doubt it was easy on them qwq (no we're not writing that (i wanna) we already have a gazzilion unfinished projects glaring @ us)
I- wow I kinda forgot my stuff is on there jfjfjf AH I'M GLAD YA LIKED THEM! :3 I have a lot more in my drafts and as wips- well obviously it's not posted anywhere hehe
Well... hmmm if anyone WERE to fill in Jack in on the... news... i... i feel like he wouldn't take it well. "Where is Solar!" Oh buddy.. oh you precious murder machine qwq (had to look up what osmosis meant haha first time seeing the word n all that)... Jack slowly piecing it together as in the process of figuring it out he also slowly becomes sentient... I'm fine mhm
Oh, yea that... that is a sound reason. They, they had their reasons. I honestly like... don't think they ENJOYED hurting people. They were just... soooo off the leash when they arrived in this dimension. Scaring the hell out of Cassie and Gregory, the constant death threats, violent games and tricks. (One to three will always live in my head... "I can help with the cutting.") Like I said in... idk in which answer honestly it's all blurring together lmfao fjfjfj They kept up this act for FIFTY PLUS YEARS! And... they even managed to be one of their dimension's... I forgot the word but what the Ruin dimension's Monty was?? They were GOOD at their act. SO good they fooled everyone around them. Granted tho... those infected robots aren't too dreadfully hard to fool. Sun, when he was in Ruin's dimension, managed to fool one of them, convinced it he was Ruin. That robot didn't seem to posses the same level of sentience as the Ruin Monty we've seen in there (not to be confused with Ronty, rest in peace).
Fair! The lie detector video is.. really as ya said, our most reliable source of info. Even though some of the answers that were dinfed as truths were... weird.
Oooh you're right I haven't even thought of that heh. That was just silly in denial talk I suppose heh The Creators would have surely noticed... or... would they even have cared? Creators are selfish, self-centered insane geniouses... would they even care if one of their own suddenly vanished?
AHHHHH IT WOULD BE WORRYINGLY IRONIC 😭 Add onto that the very possible paraller between Cold Moon trying bring back his Sun and New Moon most likely going to drive himself to the point of shut down trying to find any signs of Solar possibly surviving... Oh my gosh I do NOT like this arc... WHY DOES EVERYTHING GO DOWN AROUND THIS TIME EVERY YEAR IT'S SO EXHAUSTING 😭
Mmm yea probably hehe We... don't really have anyone asides from Solar and Ruin to fact check this heh

🕶️👁️🟩🟪🟦An Introductory Guide to This Blog🟦🟪🟩👁️🕶️
Turns out I'm too stupid to figure out how to make a carrd so for now welcome to the blog! We're a tulpa/parogenic system of three, and while I suspect we'll be more active on our instagram, PaxIslandSystem, we'll also post stuff here.
DNI (may be expanded):
1. Anti-endos/anti-tulpa
Syscourse and discourse in general is quite triggering for me and my anger issues and I have a hard time disengaging once I'm bothered enough so kindly do not interact with me if you have any anti-endo thoughts you want to share. Furthermore, I have yet to see a good argument as to why tulpamancy is a problem, so if you don't have any informed opinions to give, kindly keep them to yourself. I may explain what I mean later on. Furthermore, don't interact if you are under the blatantly incorrect impression that "sysmed" is a slur. This reads to us as TERF tactics.
2. Exclusionists/bigots of any kind
This includes TERFs, transmeds, transphobes, anti whatever pronouns, racist assholes, homophobes etc. However, I don't expect to not see such people interacting with me because they don't care about DNIs, so gladly make yourself known in order for me to block you and get on with my day. Thank you.
3. Proshippers/MAPS or whatever you wanna call yourself, zoophiles, etc.
I shouldn't have to explain why this is a problem.
4. Fakeclaimers/gatekeepers
There's a 99% chance that you don't even know the person you're claiming to be faking their disability/disorder, which means there's a 99% chance you don't know what you're talking about.
System bio:
Madison (Host) 🟦
(She/Te/It/They)
I'm a 19 year old non-binary ancom musician from Sacramento. I also passively practice/believe in Luciferianism. I occasionally dabble in literature and I've been a furry since I was 14, so expect a bit of that maybe? Idk. I'm currently majoring in audio engineering so that I can at least do something tangential to my passion without turning my music into a brand.
Artemis 🟪
(He/They)
Hey everyone, I'm Artemis! I'm Madison's deer person brother and I guess tulpa. I'm 15 and interested in theatre or at least checking it out so if anyone has any recommendations with where to start, let me know! My favorite band at the moment is Rishloo because of its nostalgic value thanks to Madison listening to it a lot while creating me. In fact, I have Systematomatic stuck in my head right now, so that's fun. My favorite color is purple and I'd like to think I'm laid back, so expect memes if I post. Anyways, have a good one!
Treeline 🟩
(He/Him)
My name is Treeline. I am a demonoid between the ages of 20 and 10,000 years and I originated as Madison's imaginary demon protector and I am the system's protector/caretaker, however I feel that I am not exactly aligned with actual demons or at the very least fluctuate between human and demonic states. Currently as of writing this I feel more aligned with my demonic side, although it could be that my human side is only a result of Madison's personality influencing mine and as such is not me in my purest form. I quite enjoy bird watching. It's possible I may also have two distinct personalities or be some sort of median sub-system, although I'll admit my understanding of subsystems is lacking.
Bentley 👁️
(He/Him)
Alexa 🛸
(she/they)
Hello there! I'm new to the system, but I really like it here so far! I'm quite a bookworm, at least based on what I've read so far. Feel free to recommend me books to read! Right now I'm still figuring myself out, but it's been a fun journey in the hour or so as of writing this that I've been around!
Ezra 🕶️
(She/Her)
Pax 📗
(he/they)
I'm a fictive from Pax and Jude. I'm a species of alien called a queksol and I'm still having a really hard time understanding how I got to be here. Apparently this is the first time the system has had a fictive and it's a little alarming, but I'll probably be fine. I dunno.
A Description of our Wonderland
While we prefer to use the term "headspace" because it personally feels less mystifying, but we're glad to use "wonderland" to clear up any confusion.
Our wonderland is named Pax Island, which my fiance suggested because pax is latin for peace and it's somewhat of a paradise over there. It's a relatively flat island liberally peppered with oak trees in the middle of an endless ocean. We have our house by the eastern shoreline with a treehouse to the right of the entrance as well as a mall up north that is solely there because of the wall we used to use for graffiti, although it has pretty good ice cream even if I'm not quite good at perceiving the taste of it. We also have a park a little bit northwest and a recently added a submarine dock with a little non-sentient cat dude who mans the submarine because why not?
The headspace is in a constant state of night because I find it reasonably calming. Otherwise, there isn't much to say about it.

tagged by beloved @sunriseverse to partake in this fic author interview!!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
13 at present :thumbs_up: i haven't deleted anything recently (to which there's probably like. 20 of my things if you incorporate abandoned works)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
71,398 apparently... i know that one of my fics is nearly 26k but still. this is more than i expected
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(1) catch a rare type specimen [166] (2) a mighty nice shine [104] (3) the future is forgiven, so smile [80] (4) i don't know how we're just two men as god has made us [49] (5) how we rise to the height of our halo [34]
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i try my best to! but usually i'm only good about it after i've JUST posted a new fic and i'm compulsively checking engagement </3 and i rarely look back at old fic comment threads </333
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
i haven't read them in a while but probably sleeping beauty or i'm a wonder... they're both post-PRU and heavy angst for hermann... though i guess i'm a wonder's ending is more Angsty, and sleeping beauty is more Suspenseful
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
wonderful question. i write a lot of happy, or at least neutral with happy leanings, endings. maybe the future is forgiven, so smile, or something??? IDK man
7. Do you write crossovers?
not really... i'm really picky about them. and i'll make jokes with friends about them but i haven't gone through with any of the crossover ideas i really like (though maybe i should finally write something for ed secondhandvhs & i's joke about CIFL x stranger things teeheehee)
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
plenty of it. and i am still laughing about the comment i got on a mighty nice shine... thankfully i've gotten better about not fully taking [the hate] to heart...
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
no... i almost wrote smut for the first time with a house fic a couple of months ago but i got nowhere with that fic idea. and a mighty nice shine is the very closest i've gotten to slipping it in but i'm too big of a chicken still (and it's not like i have any ideas stored up for it at present)
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of? but that'd be pretty funny if so. mainly because i'm. a Middling creative writer so if you're going to steal MY stuff, then your bar must be low
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
also not that i know of. at least not that i've been told. i would be honored though... like to be able to share my ideas with a wider audience... sniffles and kicks my feet
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
not that i remember? i think the closest i got, beloved, was the rob comedy... like i've Workshopped and Bounced Ideas with friends plenty of times but i don't remember a time where we've gone through with writing together
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
low hanging fruit because i don't actually know but i'll gander newmann... like my pacrim hyperfixation (special interest even?) is still a fond period in my life and i still have so many affections for the them
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
ALL OF THEM. like. i'm still sighing i didn't write that hilson smut, as well as sighing i didn't really go through with my Other house ideas (pacrim universe, 'if amber lived' universe, priest chase universe, etc etc). oh and there's two barry ideas i had with ed that i still think would be interesting explorations but haven't picked up in like two years. plus some ted lasso stuff (namely gymnastverse and tattooed roy). and OBVIOUSLY mad i haven't gotten ANYWHERE with any original work WIPs (yes this is a fanfic interview but i stand by the inclusion)
15. What are your writing strengths?
descriptions maybe? IDK i write creatively so infrequently i have no idea. i just know i tend to have fun writing descriptions all flowery and stuff
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
besides the fact that i Never write, i think i have a tendency to be too out of character for my own liking, or at least Worry too much about that prospect. like it's inevitable in some part with writing alternate universes but i'm just too neurotic. and i really need to be married to / tuned into the idea to have a flowing stream of writing, and half the time i just Can't
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
i think if you do it and have the translation nearby / easily accessible, it's fine and can add an interesting dimension for like. the character's thinking in that language and/or being in some way immersed in it. but i also say that as someone who has included foreign languages or localized vocabulary then put translations/descriptions as footnotes in the end notes so. i'm biased
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
oh good lord... it was likely on deviantart so. heaven knows. my understanding of warriors or something else i was into through deviantart. and on wattpad it was probably— actually i'm going to have an aneurysm if i continue to think about this
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
there's probably plenty but re-reading this question probably severance or psych. like i haven't watched either recently and i'm more fixated on my own oc-verses at the moment but i would still like to finish my psych drag fic or at least write Something psych. and i should definitely delve into the horrors of severance once season two comes out
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
another low hanging fruit but i always say i'm a wonder. there's just something about that one that still hits. maybe it's in part that i always think of that fic while listening to the song, and. frankly. i should revisit it at some point to see if i could develop it more

Rant/Vent Post:
My twin sister and exception attempted suicide the other day. The last few days have been incredibly stressful, and for the first few nights, no one was sure if she'd pull through. Currently, she's getting more stable and verbally coherent, but she's lost the use of her legs. Clinicians aren't sure yet if that'll ever return.
I have some thoughts on all of this that I can't really share socially or with family right now, so I'm just going to put them here.
First off, the way she attempted was... dramatic. Like, movie main-character dramatic. It wasn't a cry for help, that's already come and gone. This was a genuine attempt and I'm not looking to invalidate that. But she texted everyone highly emotional goodbyes, posted on all of her social media, and the method used just pointed to wanting to go out with a bang for a finale.
On that note, I've made observations my entire life about the people around me that Main Character Syndrome™️ is out of control, not only with this generation, but with generations prior. I also deal with it.
My sister is maybe the biggest weeb I've ever known; she watches anime like it's crack or heroin. It's gotten to the point that she's expressed to me that it's difficult to think of scenarios that aren't in anime format. In other words, her schema and worldview have been almost totally shaped by anime. She's been an anime fan since we were 4ish years old. It's consumed her world.
I think that maybe this was a chunk of why this happened. Not all of the reason, maybe not even a good chunk, but a contributing factor at the very least.
Think of it this way: someone who reads a lot of romance novels and watches a lot of romance movies is shocked by the hard truths of intimate relationships, they're poorly adapted to the reality of relationships, and they've created unrealistic expectations that cannot and never will be met. They'll be left with a void that some author's daydream put there of a world that doesn't exist. Someone who grows up watching DBZ, action movies, badass protagonists, playing video games where the player character is next to immortal, might have their worldview shattered when they can't John Wick their way out of a situation that they started and wind up in the hospital or worse.
In saying this, I'm not saying that anime is the devil. What I'm curious about is to what extent the media we consume affects our worldview, and how much of it is healthy. Media in the form of fiction has been a part of our collective history since we originated. I'm not saying it's inherently negative -- hero stories go as far back as Odysseus and Gilgamesh. It's ingrained in us. But I can't help but shake the feeling that something, culture maybe, shifted at some point (idek how many generations ago) that has led us to this point that I see at least some narcissism in everyone, but especially in the younger generations. It's difficult to find people my own age who aren't competitive; where it feels like this room isn't big enough for the both of us. This is become endemic to our species. We're evidently killing ourselves when reality doesn't and can't meet the expectations set on us by TV shows, movies, video games, animes, etc.
Idk it's just a thought I had.
Side note: recently, while trying to improve my condition, I've become a major fan of media in which the protagonist is just... a dude. Shows where there are multiple protaganists and any might die or fail at any moment. I've especially gotten into playing the Soulsbourne series because it checks me. I've become a major fan of ego-checks, and think we could all use a good ass kick in whatever department we're too proud of ourselves in. This world needs a major dose of humility.

tag game!! ty @pocketsizedquasar for tagging me :))
1- Why did you choose your url
my url is just the same un i use for other sites that i post art on (instagram, deviantart, etc) BUT the original idea came from when i was in... shudders... middle school... there was a short period of time where i kept saying "FRICKLE FRACKLE" as a substitute for fuck or something and then i just tacked on floof because i'm a furry
i've been wanting to change my url for like a month now i'm just too scared of change lol </3
2- Any side blogs?
not... really? except for @jesperofficial but that's a joke soc roleplay blog i don't use anymore
3- How long have you been on tumblr?
since 2019 i think? it's been over a year
4- Do you have a queue tag?
no because i rarely queue you get my posts when you get them
5- Why did you start your blog in the first place?
i started this blog as a throwaway account because i wanted to join the grishaverse big bang. i didn't even want to join tumblr at the time but i wanted to be a part of the event more so i made it just so they'd have something to link back to LMAO. but then i started like... yknow talking to people who only used this site... and then i started lurking when i was really really bored... and then my friends convinced me to check the site like every day... and then i started posting only my fanart and then i downloaded the app on my phone and it was just downhill from there. sigh.
6- Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
i just like guillermo i just really like how his face came out in that drawing he looks cute <3
7- Why did you choose your header?
umm i like using my own art for stuff like this bc it makes me feel better about using images that i've created myself instead of possibly stealing from someone else and i think that drawing was cute it makes me happy :) it's kinda old though i might change it plus the fact that i added like 2394587394587 filters to it to make it fit the pink aesthetic is showing painfully
8-What’s your post with the most notes?
this jon + the admiral comic i made a while ago :) it's cute i think it's a bit cheesy and also kinda old but i'm very very proud of how i drew the admiral in that one so i'm happy that this one ended up being my top post lmao
9- How many mutuals do you have?
shit idk i don't really like the whole "mutual" thing i think we should just be friends instead of pretending that we are
10- How many followers do you have?
405 :o i didn't know that
11- How many people do you follow?
368! i don't even remember who i follow sometimes lmao
12- Have you ever made a shitpost?
probably
13- How often do you use Tumblr each day?
at least once a day </3 used to hate myself for it but now i just embrace it
14- Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?
ummm i mean i GUESS you could call them fights i've gotten anon hate for stupid shit and have had um. Discussions with people about racism in the grishaverse but most of them were pretty one-sided i've never had full on reblog chains or Tumblr User Fricklefracklefloof Vs Other Tumblr User fights it's just. someone saying something and then me replying. i try to be civil.
although i did have a friend once (or ig we were just "mutuals") who flat out blocked me with no response after i said something mildly accusatory and i still haven't recovered from that </3 just communicate with me please goddamn
15- How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
i get the point they're trying to make but they're guilt trippy and ultimately don't end up solving the issue they think they're solving. (i'm assuming we're talking about the human rights posts that are all like "if you don't reblog this you're a monster!!" etc etc.) yes it's important to speak up about issues but by telling people they Have To Reblog This Or Else it just... scares people into supporting something without going through the critical thinking about it. at least that's how i see it. you can't truly support something if you don't understand wtf you're talking about. reblogging something like that for the sake of reblogging it is just... well it's performative.
16- Do you like tag games?
yes :)
17- Do you like ask games?
YEA THEY SEEM FUN i've never done one before bc idk i'm scared no one's gonna wanna do it with me but yes i think i would enjoy them
18-Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?
oh i know who is tumblr famous but i don't wanna out them like that
19- Do you have a crush on a mutual?
ahaha! ahahahaha! that's funny i'm not sharing that
tagging @souleatering (or whatever blog you wanna use wybie idk) @jawbonemage and whoever else wants to :)

16 17 and 19 for ask meme ?
Qkgkskgks thank you for asking!!
16. What's the weirdest thing you've used as a bookmark?
I read a lot on PDF and even on paper I don't use bookmarks. HOWEVER... The weirdest bookmark i do use sometimes is my phone skgjdjfj
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.
Right now I'm mainly writing for another fandom, Hollow Knight. I started a really chill project in which I explore post-canon events of one of the endings. I've posted 4 chapters, I'm halfway through the 5th out of 16-20 chapters? Since this isn't the fandom this work belongs to I won't dwell for too long, but I can talk about it more in my HK sideblog (@fungal-wasted) (I'm a little desperate i need to talk about it)
FOR THIS FANDOM: I have been delaying a Chara essay for far too long skgkdjf I also have some thoughts related to Frisk in neutral endings, and a Pre canon Sans and Toriel fic that had lived in my brain for A While but I have not written because idk how to start.
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?
PFFFT. So I barely consider myself a writer but I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about writing or telling stories. This is long but hopefully not tedious to read!!
8 year old me would write in the format of a play (with formal notations and all) about my first OCs. They were average for a kid that age to be honest. I remember one was named Carmín. Whatever. I just wrote because it was fun to make stories. I also hated reading so not even my old self would have cared about the story lol.
9-11 I had some self insert OCs who were 3 sisters and they went to a lot of vague fantasy places. Never wrote a story down, just had very vivid images and I'd talk to myself roleplaying my characters... Man i was a little weird. It's OK though. It was fun.
By 12-14 i got into Wattpad. I was into Heroes of Olympus and got introduced to fanfiction there. There were also my first attempts at translation and they weren't great but i had a lot of readers. It improved my English inmensively, despite it all. I was into YA literature but I was a bit dumb, not too critical and ashamed about it.
15-18 pure silence. I read some stuff, wrote nothing and I thought I was cringy, I also left Wattpad for the most part, knew about AO3 but rarely frequented it...
And now we're here. I started writing fic regularly whenever I'd get an idea to share, or a scene in my mind that I wanted to portray and add to the piles of fic that sometimes didn't have what I was looking for. It also became a good chance to understand conversations, intent and such better and to have an outlet for all my thoughts. I also like writing essays or such on occasion. OH and it was a chance to write in English too and practice!!
The biggest bumps are when you feel the structure of your story shaking under the weight of inconsistency and or lack of a way to address what you want and have the desired effect.
Now I like both character studies and worldbuilding, and that's what my writing tries to do! I'm also trying to get back into translation (check out @tortadecuchufli ). I want to try out different things and maybe branch out to original writing at some point in the future but who knows.

Dumb thoughts and images that come to mind when i try to sleep after a near overdose on caffiene
Tumblr media
Putting that in bc its a big mood right now
Tumblr media
My brain @ sleep
Yall theres motorcycles oyu at 5:25am i-
I wish my friends were up and that it was like 3pm and i slept but that sounds like a dream world-
Smoke or Fire's song called 1968 both intensifies my existential crisis and helps it feel better at the same time.
If history doesnt repeat itself, why do we have blonde ass toupe wearin hitler as the us president??
"Im in a position thats so uncomfortable its comfortable." - some random dude on youtube like 3 years ago
Im not saying its impossible for an insomniac to fall asleep after 5am, im just saying its impossible for me to do so.
If ive got nothing to do today im gonna listen to music, draw, and nap all day. Those make me happy.
I say that last sentence knowing full well imma be up at 3am runnin to the medicine cabinet to down a bottle of melatonin.
Seriously though im either gonna draw, listen to music, or hopefully ill be able to nap but idk. If i cant nap i'll likely just be talkin to my like,,, 3 friends i think it is that i have left.
So here's my outfit plan if i have to go anywhere:
Hollywood undead shirt (desperate measures or V whichever i find) or my reel big fish shirt and a hawaiian shirt over it
Black or baggy camo jeans (cutoff jean shorts if its hot enough)
Whatever shoes i can find to slip on prolly my slide on vans
My camo hat that i almost always wear lol or my dogtooth print old man hat that works with a rude boy outfit well even tho i originally got it because some sweet old lady at the thrift store reccommended it to me because she thought id like it (shes not gonna see this but i did like it i did buy it and i do wear it)
Energy drink can lmao
Who needs a backpack or anything like that when my eyebags can hold all my shit :)
Black or checkered belt
So like,,,, its 5:38am and im still wide awake lol
I'll be fine tho guys normally i pull an all nighter friday night or am up super late, am up all day saturday til like 1-3am then i go to sleep and sleep for like 12-15 hours on sunday, and have a normal sleep schedule (i count it as normal because i still get enough sleep) monday-thursday. I guess im a normal person because like,,,im so like,,,chill during the week then i have like a crazy fuckin weekend that leaves me sleeping all day sunday. Either this is normal fr or normal on tumblr. Idk.
I wanna watch a candle flame buuut im not gonna get up bc i think my granddad is awake and he'll hear me walking around and come tell me to sleep. Though, i do tell him if its past 6am that i woke up at 6, had to use the bathroom, and couldnt go back to sleep after, but its only 5:43. Time to watch candleflame gifs lol
Tumblr media
I love that one because it doesnt have any sort of like eerie vibe its literally just 2 lit candles and i love it.
So heres 5 of my current favorite reaction images rn plus a bonus cursed image:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Btw this post will go on til my clock hits 6:00am lol msybe before maybe after hut around that time.
Time check:5:47am, my left arm is asleep like the rest of me zhould be but i kinda layed on it for like a solid 2 hours and 48 minutes.
I wonder what long stiletto acrylic nails would look like on toes. Will google it now but if nothing pops up im photoshopping it when i get my phone bc that would be super cursed
High thoughts but the high is sleep deprivation will be the theme of my next blog.
Yo what if it was normal to put acrylic nails on ur toes instead of ur fingers
If we're in a simulation, we wont know until the world ends and we all get minecraft hard mode game over screens.
What if ehen you got ran over irl the last thing you see is your vision goes black and white and red text appears. "Wasted."
I might convert my most unused blog into a blog for sleep deprived and shower thoughts, seeing as literally almost wvery day i put my phone in a ziploc bag snd take it into the shower
I kinda feel calm now. Like...if i felt this calm 2 hours ago i wouldve been dead asleep lmao.
My right finger hurts from how i gotta hold this tablet lmao.
Me: i kinda wanna like,,,just kinda draw but idk what to draw and ive had art block for a few months now...*talks about art block*
My mom, interrupting me: ITS BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS ON THAT DAMN PHONE
Tumblr media
