How to Spot AI images (Hopefully)
So, I did see GailyNovelry's excellent post on this (Link here), but saw that there also were some confusion and they were using a environment image as their example, so I thought I'd do a breakdown that was more character centric.
The key thing with AI images is that the program does not know what it is making. And, arguably, they thrive on that we are currently conditioned to not really look at things for too long before we hit that engagement button and/or just scroll onwards to whatever next the algorithm feeds us.
It's hard to fight that urge, I know, but if you just pause and look, you'll soon start spotting things that just do not make sense, and I don't just mean that the pretty booby elven fighter is sporting seven fingers on one hand. Those are the obvious things. I'll try to cover the general sort of artefacts that tend to tip me off to the fact that a image is generated rather than actually hand-made by someone making informed design decisions as opposed to trust what amounts to RNG. I think this is important as there's those who do not tag their images as AI generated, and try to scam people with commissions.
And, as the saying goes... The devil is in the details.
To start with I picked this image from deviantuser CeiEllem. At first glance, it looks... very impressive. Sharp looking elf lady with killer hair. 10/10 wish I could rock that haircolour.
But, it is AI generated. Aside from the general tell that is this hyper rendered, near photorealistic style that AI images often have, there's a lot of details that tips it off to just not having been made by a human who actually made the decisions.
Since AI is just working off patterns and not actual decisions, things like hair is a immediate giveaway that you're looking at a AI image.
(Deviantart users: daralyth, DavidZarn and lunayokai)
In all these three images you can see just how hair whisps off into weird nonsense shapes or even meld into the background or clothing. Because, again, the AI doesn't know what its doing, just working with shapes. Similarly, background elements that just stop and start randomly is a dead giveaway, like the tail in the first image.
As I've said, details is the key to spotting these images, and another giveaway is the sheer density of details that is just noise.
This is from users Rigtorok7, and the details are so noisy, absolutely miniscule in scale, and hypersharp, yet have no actual design to them. Artists imply details all the time. We don't render out every single nook and crevice, and since we actually know what we want the viewer to look at, we'll pull back and simplify things so you don't want to look at the big chunk of very noisy hair ornament or necklace instead of the face of the character.
For comparison, this is how it looks when I, personally, indulge in doing 'overdetailing' of something (because I am forever weak for painting jewelry).
BUT I want to stress that the key here isn't that detailing equals AI generated. The key is the lack of design choices IN the details. There's a lot of artists out there, and someone painting out all those nooks and crannies in something doesn't mean they are a AI user. This painting by Leighton is super detailed but you see the intent with all the details. You have a focus with the people in the boat and secondary read of the figure in the door, where the details are a lot more implied and less sharp.
AI can't do that, because AI isn't making any decisions.
I couldn't find any good example once I went looking, but if you're into fantasy art: look for people just holding weird 'swords'.
AI is rapidly evolving, so who knows how much this'll help in 3 months, but for now, this is how I spot things.
But, in the end, the biggest giveaway that someone is using an AI generator is that they've filled up page after page on deviantart/artstation/wherever in the past like... six to nine months, and often swing between wildly different styles. If you're unsure, look up the source of a image. Another clue can be generic 'untitled' or just 'elf lady' sort of titles, since someone uploading 30 images a week isn't going to make unique titles for each image.
Also, commissioners. ... you should ALWAYS get a sketch and progress image from a artist that you hire. My art directors would have my head on a plate if I didn't send them a rough sketch and progress shot before finalising the image.

I want 15 year old Dazai or chuuya (maybe even both) to comfort me after some weird old man caressed my waist and got WAY too close :( sometimes it feels like I’m overreacting a little about it but it was really uncomfortable
Awh! I so sorry that happened to you, old men can be creepy, I hope your feeling better :(
ෆ 15!Chuuya&Dazai X GN!reader [you/your]
CW. Implied pedophila, creepy old men, noncon-touching, uncomfortable, can be read as platonic or Romantic with boys but probably mostly romantic, minor x minor(idk if this is a cw but whatever), reader is 15 or around the boys ages'!
A/N :: Money for fun! :3 Also your not overreacting for something like that! No matter what, if someone touches you and you don't like, your not overreacting or you didn't want! :) love you, be safe y'all!! <3333, also I had no idea how 15!Chuuya/Dazai would comfort you, so it's kinda hard!— written by a minor
[MASTERLIST] — (ノ^_^)ノ works in link!
You were sitting down on a bench, an old weird man was sitting next to you. You ignored him, waiting for the time. You tap your feet and ignore his hard breathing, you begin to sweat. You didn't feel comfortable but if you left, that would be rude of you. You scoot over towards the end of the bench, you cough, hoping he gets the hint. He doesn't and move closer to you, his hand goes on your waist. You tense up and try to ask him to stop but he begins to caress your waist. You sweat and your mind races, oh god! You wanted to get up but you couldn't move, your body stayed there. His hand goes somewhere too close for comfort, you hit his hand and get up. He stares up at you, you grit your teeth and walk away. Jogging into a place filled of people, you wanted to punch him but then the police would think that you assaulted the man. You rub your shoulders, despite your current attitude, your still scared. You felt bad and not good, you want to go to them, you jog. Jogging to the arcade, your feet stomping fast. You pant and you see them, Dazai slouch over Chuuya. Chuuya yelling at Dazai while he tries to play his game, Dazai grins and continues to annoy Chuuya. You give a shaky smile, you walk over and Dazai notices you, he smiles and waves to you. "Heya!" Chuuya grits his teeth when he loses the game but his glaze softens when he sees you. "Oh hey" he says, you smile and let out a sigh. Should you tell them about it? Would they care about it? "Something wrong?" Chuuya asks, noticing your weird attitude, your eyes widen. "Hm?" Dazai's tone sounds happy and he knows something is wrong, you open your mouth and hesitant to talk. "Take your time" Chuuya says, he doesn't want to rush you. You wait for an minute before you speak about what happened, Dazai and Chuuya don't say anything. Dazai smiles and pats your head, you make a face when stare at him. "Do you what me to hurt him, {yourname}?" He says, his eyes darken, you look at Chuuya. Not knowing what to say, Chuuya nods his head. "Sure..?" You say in confusion, Dazai chuckles and he sits down next to you, he doesn't say anything. Chuuya then sits next to you, they both don't say anything. Parting your back and rubbing It, Dazai's fingers touch your fingers. You smile, their comforting actions filled you with happiness even if it wasn't much, you can't blame them. Atleast you know, that their with you! Hopefully forever.

indentation in the shape of you || valcarol
ship: valkyrie x carol danvers
summary/request: carol shows valkyrie her new suit. valkyrie doesn't like it.
word count: 1.2k
warnings: smut (18+ only), kinda pwp, the marvels spoilers, strap on use, jealous sex, daddy valkyrie, dom!val, sub!carol
a/n: if you're seeing this coming from a ship tag hello! i usually write reader insert so if you go to my blog looking for more of this ummm. sorry.
masterlist | ao3 link
“I’m glad that they seem to be adjusting well. Fury tells me that they’re working on restoring Tarnax’s atmosphere, so hopefully they won’t have to stay in New Asgard for too much longer,” Carol tightens her fists at her side, tension in her body clear as she stands in front of Valkyrie’s desk.
“Oh, no worries. Having them is no bother at all. Though I’m sure they’re eager to get off Earth,” Valkyrie hums as she swirls her dagger.
Carol insisted on coming down after fixing Hala’s sun to check on things, something that didn’t surprise Valkyrie in the slightest. What did surprise her was her sudden costume change. Her suit was different. Less saturated, emblem bigger on her chest. Valkyrie didn’t like it. It didn’t feel like the Captain Marvel image that she’d grown used to.
Plus, this one’s torn in places. Cheaply made. Not fitting for a hero who flies into suns.
Carol is rambling on about something to do with one of the Skrull families as Valkyrie analyzes this new suit. It does hug her hips nicely. Form fitting around the waist that she’s grabbed and pulled against her many times before.
“What’s with the new get-up?”
“What?” Carol’s train of thought comes to a screeching halt.
“This,” Valkyrie points her dagger at Carol. “Different suit.”
Carol looks down at her suit. Valkyrie holds back a chuckle at how she almost looks surprised by what she’s wearing. “Oh! I got a new one.”
“Clearly,” Valkyrie laughs. “Come closer, I wanna see it.”
Carol scrunches up her brows in confusion at Valkyrie’s sudden interest, but chalks it up to that warrior mentality. That woman loves some good battle armor. She walks around the desk to stand in front of Valkyrie, awkwardly holding still as she inspects the suit, running her hands over the material and poking a finger through one of the tears that ripped during the fight with Dar-Benn.
“Seems cheap, doesn’t it?” Valkyrie sneers. “My armory could make you something ten times as sturdy. Where’d you get this shit suit from?”
“It’s not shit,” Carol huffs. Valkyrie raises an eyebrow at her and pulls her finger down, making the rip bigger. “Hey!”
“Why aren’t you answering me, hm?” Valkyrie knows damn well where this suit came from, she could tell from the moment she touched it. She just wants Carol to say it.
“Aladna. Prince Yan--”
“Oh, a gift from your husband.”
Before Carol knows it, she’s being tugged flush against Valkyrie. From her standing position, she towers over her even more than she usually does, but she gulps because she knows who’s in control here.
Valkyrie knows that Prince Yan is no more than a friend to Carol, but both of them know just how much the idea of Carol being technically married makes Valkyrie’s jealousy blaze.
Especially when she comes around with the gifts he’s given her.
“Val--”
“You know, I’m surprised it looks so dull, given that Aladna’s traditional clothing has more colors than a pride parade.” Valkyrie grips Carol’s waist, fingers digging into her sides. It would hurt if Carol didn’t have super endurance. But it’s enough to make the message clear.
“It’s fine, I’ll probably go back to my old one anyway.” Carol refuses to make eye contact with her. She can’t let her know how much this is affecting her right now.
But gods.
It took Carol a long time to find someone who could make her feel this way. Someone who could make her feel safe rather than terrified of giving in to their control, their dominance.
It just came so naturally to Valkyrie. Carol supposes that’s why she can’t stay away, comes running back when her thoughts get too much for her to bear and she just needs them shut off.
Like now.
“Don’t look away from me,” Valkyrie says firmly. Carol bites her lip and meets her gaze again. “Good girl. Bend over the desk.”
Carol briefly considers asking why, but at the moment she can’t bring herself to fight Valkyrie’s little game. She moves some stuff out of the way and bends over the desk. She does her best to steady her breathing as she feels Valkyrie’s hands run up the back of her thighs.
“You’d think that Prince Yan would give his princess a sturdier suit. You know, I bet I could just…”
Riiiiiiiip.
“Valkyrie!”
Valkyrie laughs, giving Carol’s ass a slap as she admires what she’s done. Just as Valkyrie suspected, she was able to poke into one of the tears and fully rip a hole right through the crotch of Carol’s suit. Her cunt is exposed, the pale skin of her ass peeking through the top of the tears as well. Valkyrie steps forward, hips flush against Carol’s ass.
“Feel that, princess?” Carol groans. “Use your words.”
“Yes, sir.” Carol gasps as Valkyrie grinds the bulge of her strap into her exposed ass. She tries hiding her face to conceal how flustered she is, but Valkyrie won’t tolerate that. She’s tugged up by her hair, Valkyrie’s lips brushing against her cheek as she speaks lowly to her.
“Does your husband ever do this for you?” Valkyrie doesn’t expect a response, just chuckling at Carol’s whines. “Does he know what a needy girl you are?”
“No, sir.” Valkyrie unbuckles her belt, pulling out her strap and nudging the tip between Carol’s already damp folds. Carol shudders, pushing her hips back against the sensation.
“Greedy, greedy thing. Already trying to fuck yourself on my cock.” Valkyrie stands up straighter, but doesn’t release her grip on Carol’s hair, knowing the stinging in her scalp makes Carol as compliant as can be. “You’re getting spoiled, princess. Gonna have to ask nicely for what you want.”
“Please,” Carol asks softly, voice pitched high as Valkyrie rubs her clit with her strap. “Please, sir. Please fuck me.”
“Hmm,” Valkyrie releases Carol’s hair and runs her hand down her back, feeling the strong muscles of her back quiver under her touch. “Dunno, that’s not very convincing if you ask me.”
“Please, daddy, I need you to fuck me!”
Valkyrie laughs and sinks her cock into Carol’s weeping pussy. Carol lets out a guttural moan, only overshadowed by the wet noises her cunt makes as Valkyrie pounds deep into her. She grips Carol’s hips, pulling her back against her to meet her rough thrusts.
She loves having Carol like this. The all-powerful Captain Marvel, destroyer of armies and savior of the universe begging for her tight pussy to be ruined by her, shivering under her praise and degradation, weeping in her arms after she’s been thoroughly fucked.
Carol must have been particularly pent up today, because it doesn’t take much longer for her to be on the edge, a few strokes of Valkyrie’s fingers over her clit and some whispered praises of “Good princess, let go for me. I’ve got you” send her into a shaking mess as she comes.
She mumbles something incoherent as Valkyrie flips her over, pulling her up to curl against her chest. “What was that, baby? Can’t hear you when you’re mumbling.”
“Thank you,” Carol sighs.
Valkyrie smiles softly, kissing Carol on the tip of her nose and rubbing her back. “You that tired after one round?”
“Not tired, just…tired.”
“Ah, yeah. That really cleared things up.”
“Shut up.”

Buck & Eddie: 7x4 and 7x5 stills in episode order???
When the two separate synopses were released for 7x4, I wondered how 9-1-1 was going to fit everything into the episode that was released via the BTS stills but then I realized they wouldn't be able to especially since the length of each one (without advertisements) is only 42 to 45 minutes. Also, it appears there will be three main storylines, i.e. Athena and Harry, Hen's life changing news and Buck being bothered and bewildered.
After considering all of the information that's been released, a few days ago, I figured the stills of Buck and Eddie in Buck’s loft, the ones of them talking in the firehouse gym and the one of Eddie and Bobby's conversation wouldn't be included in 7x4. Additionally, I remembered the way 3x5 "Rage" ended with Buck and Eddie still on the outs and they didn't reconcile until the end of 3x6 "Monsters" when Buck made Eddie talk to him. With OS recently commenting on someone's IG post about how the two pictures of Buck and Eddie in the loft are from 7x5, it added confirmation to my analysis.
Since I'm a visual person, I like to see things in their totality instead of in increments the way the BTS pics have been released. Therefore, I've put all the stills together in a way that IMO, could be how they'll play out during each episode and there's one picture of Buck by himself that was released but I believe it deals with something else. I've included it at the end because I'm going to do a separate post on it.
Before I delve into this, here's my UNPOPULAR OPINION. I ship Buddie and only Buddie but I have to admit, I'm not really excited about this storyline because IMO, the audience has seen it before in 3x5 and 3x6 when Eddie was temporarily partnered with Lena (post linked here). Sure, he didn't leave the 118 but Eddie did have a new work partner who Buck was clearly not happy about. Also, even though Eddie didn't tell Buck about her, it was evident by Buck's reaction, he was in fact jealous since he thought he was being replaced and it seemed to be part of the reason why he filed the lawsuit (not the only reason but part of it). Reminder, he was ok with being the Fire Marshall until he heard Lena call Eddie's name in 3x4 then once he saw her, he asked Bobby, "You replaced me?"
At this point, in six years, I hoped Buck and Eddie would be at a place in their partnership where they can actually discuss things like adults instead of Buck lashing out. Please don't misunderstand me because I get it, Buck's worried about being abandoned again so it's understandable and this time he doesn't have anyone to cling to. But if they would let him go back to therapy like he went on his own in season 4, maybe he could spend time working on himself and this storyline could have been avoided. Will I change my mind before Thursday... honestly, I'm not sure.
Back to the regularly schedule program...
7x4 "Buck, Bothered and Bewildered"
Based on the look on Buck's face in the stills from them at Air Rescue, IMO, it's likely this scene could happen first because he seems to be bothered and bewildered by how close Eddie and Tommy are. Hopefully there's a scene before this one that explains how they became fast friends but it's also possible it'll be another scenario where Eddie magically contacts Tommy or vice versa and they start hanging out but the audience won't see it the same way we didn't see how Eddie magically got M's phone number? 🤷🏽♀️
Full disclosure: I don't trust Tommy Kinard and I've already posted about my reasoning (linked here) and I may elaborate on it but I really don't want to because I'd rather not focus anymore of my attention on the character.
Buck's face in the stills below while he's at the firehouse, appear to be hopeful like he got his "Eddie" back but when he sees him walk away, he gets that sad look in his eyes like he's being left behind again. That's why IMO, it happens before the basketball court scene but after them being at Air Rescue.
I tried to put the pictures below in order but since there's no context for when some of them happen, I added them where I thought they should go. Also, since Buck's bag is still on his shoulder in the third picture with him holding the basketball, I figured it happens before they start playing. Maybe Chimney hands it to him and he looks at Eddie and Tommy like him and Chimney are going to win the game.
IMO, Buck will have a conversation with Maddie before the end of the episode and that's when JLH's leaked script will come into play. Also, I believe Chimney will be the one to tell Buck he's acting irrationally then he'll ask him if something else might be going on. Reminder, he's going to be on the court with them and he'll witness the event.
It appears 7x4 will end with them still upset with one another just like 3x5 ended with them not talking.
7x5 - "You don't know me"
I've already completed a post on the title of the episode (linked here) but I do believe multiple people will say, "You don't know me" throughout the episode, including Eddie possibly saying it to Tommy.
When the episode begins, Buck and Eddie still won't be communicating just like they weren't in 3x6. Also, since there aren't any stills that show Tommy and Eddie discussing an available job position at Air Rescue, the only information that was made available came from one of the promos that included Bobby telling Eddie, "I can't tell you how to feel about this job, only you can do that" so it appears Eddie's going to be presented with the option to leave the 118 again either at the end of 7x4 or the beginning of 7x5 but I think his conversation with Bobby will happen at the beginning of 7x5.
Now, ever since TM (showrunner) released the two pictures below in advance of season 7, they've always perplexed me and it's mainly due to the looks on their faces, more so Buck's because he doesn't look angry or frustrated, he just looks tired like he's retreating or giving up. Initially, I didn't speculate on the pictures because I had no idea what was going on and I'm still not sure but based on the things that have been released regarding the episodes, IMO, Buck will apologize just like he did in 3x6 followed by him telling Eddie that he'll have his back if he wants to leave the 118 and go to Air Rescue. Reminder, the last time Eddie left in 5x10, he told Buck in front of Hen and Ravi but the audience only caught a glimpse of Buck's reaction.
I believe the stills below will happen towards the end of the episode and it will be similar to their conversation that happened in the firehouse in 3x6 with a little bit of the 3x9 kitchen scene thrown in. My reasoning is because they're at Buck's loft and Buck will be sitting alone probably pondering what he should do next since it'll be a strong possibility (for him at least) that Eddie will leave and he'll have to find a new partner.
I think Eddie will say something similar to the things he said in 3x6, "I forgive you. Just don't let it happen again" but this time it'll be different and more along the lines of how they talked in 3x9 (related post linked here).
This is where their dynamic seems to change because unlike 3x9, Eddie's not leaned against the counter, he's actually touching Buck's shoulder and his waist the same way he did in 3x1 during Buck's surprise welcome back party but they're the only two present 👀.
When I saw the picture above, I had an immediate reaction to it because it reminded me of something the audience has seen before. I'm not going to include my thoughts on it in this post but I will do a separate one about it.
The point of this post is to illustrate with the BTS stills how the scenes in the next two episodes with Buck and Eddie could play out. Will they finally take the leap at the end of 7x5 and become a CANON couple or will the show continue to delay the inevitable? Only the showrunner, writers, producers, actors and actresses know the answer to that question. Hopefully, they will start their romantic relationship because it's been six years and there's no reason to keep delaying it.

FAQ Page
I'm not quite done with this, but it'll be nice for later.
Is it okay if I take inspiration from your art and concepts?
I've been in a situation in recent years where another artist has taken far, far too much. You've probably seen me talk about it. It's a subject I'm pretty burnt out on.
I recently saw another artist's take on this and it seemed sensible to me. I'm just going to quote theirs. I have tried to find my own words, but right now I find myself more comfortable using someone else's.
"Well, if you’re having to ask me for permission, either your design is too similar or you’re being overly nervous about a normal artistic process. You’re absolutely free to use my work as a source of inspiration but I’d strongly encourage you to think about the details from my design you like most, and remix them with other concepts into your own unique take."
Taking inspiration is something everyone does, but please don't become a shadow I get bi-weekly alerts about. Ideally your pool of inspiration will be many artists and concepts re-imagined into something unique to you- and that you're being honest with yourself about the result.
Your art is being copied! / Will you tell me who the copy cat is?
I know your intentions are in the right place, and I appreciate that, but I get a lot of messages about this and am tired. I'm sure if my art ends up somewhere it shouldn't be or there's a significant event, the community will get it to me through people I know, but let me rest.
I'm just sayin' get a second or third opinion before coming to my inbox.
I sent you a message and you didn't respond.
Sorry about that. I tend not to stress about messages because it can be a drain. You're more likely to get a response if you let me know from the get go what you want, but nothing is guaranteed. Sometimes I didn't see it, sometimes I got busy or forgot, sometimes I plan to do it later, sometimes I just opted out. It's not personal.
Are you okay with fanart? What about OC interactions? Can I post it?
Sure, just don't profit off of it and please credit me. If you want to draw my OCs interacting with yours that's also fine- though I prefer situations where their actions make sense. Alf wouldn't make your character cry for fun, for example. He's grumpy but not cruel. Posting it is fine.
Where do you Rp? Are you looking for more partners?
Discord mostly. Roleplay consumes a lot of time so these days I mostly only play with my buddy Thema. I probably wouldn't have time to play, but I like to hang around people that do and I don't mind being asked. Just please don't be sad if I never get around to responding! I'm most compatible with people who are comfortable with radio silence.
Can I use your characters in roleplay/as roleplay refs?
Considering I actively roleplay my OCs and there's a potential for confusion, I'd rather you didn't. Though I think there's a difference between linking to my art and saying 'this is my character', and linking to it to say 'this has the mood I'm going for, but here's what's different about my character--'. The latter is fine.
Can I make Fan OCs for your setting?
Thinking about this makes me tired. Maybe I'll get to a point where I'm more comfortable later, but for now I'd rather you didn't make something directly from my worlds. But lets be real, you don't need my permission to draw cat monsters and I take a huge amount of inspiration from ancient history. Many of my concepts are inspired by things that you can read about and be inspired too.
If you see something and are curious if there's a historical source, just ask. Hopefully I'll remember.
Can I repost your work?
I don't mind as long as I'm credited. Most of my art has a signature on it already. If it doesn't, please add a link or my name so people can find me. I'm less okay with my work being used as a pageviews grab on a site where I have an active social media presence, but it's probably not worth my time to care.
Do I have permission to draw NSFW art of your characters?
No, for a plethora of reasons, some easy to explain and some not, but I probably can't stop you. Just don't profit off of it or show it to me.
Do you have a website for your OCs?
I have RP pages for them scattered all over the place and many of them are outdated, but as I type this I recently put some up on Toyhouse.
https://toyhou.se/GreekCeltic
Do you have a website for your comic?
Sure do. It's an expensive fuck.
https://catswaycomic.com/
When does your comic update?
Sporadically. I work on it when I have time. My income is solely freelance commissions and Patreon- mostly commissions.
There's other places you could post your comic!
Yeah, I know. I may do that someday, but for now I like having my own house, even if it's an expensive fuck. (Not really, the renewal just hits around tax time, Lol).

Maybe I've just curated my dash well but anecdotally, I haven't seen almost anyone express disapproval of the Izzy arc in this particular way, which I would agree is judgy and unproductive. The main concerns I've been seeing (and hopefully expressing, although maybe not effectively) have been from:
People reminded of traumas/relationship dynamics reflected in Izzy and Ed's s1 relationship in general, or specific parts of it like Izzy telling Ed he was better off dead than acting so f*ggy.
People who feel like point number 1 is being retroactively minimized by the narrative (not the characters, the narrative) not acknowledging the role Izzy played in setting off Ed's Kraken era.
People who have seen their abusers get to control the narrative around harm they caused, which the narrative silence around points 1&2 seems to underline.
People who have been gaslit about their traumas and/or felt like the only person in the proverbial room who remembers that something harmful happened.
People who see Izzy suffering and then being granted grace, and walk away concerned that the message is being sent that suffering is the path to forgiveness, which would be a dangerous message period but is especially perplexing from this show in particular.
(I'm not here to argue with any of those interpretations if Izzy or his actions so save us both the energy, I'm here to talk about the post I linked.)
I can understand how, from any of those perspectives, the Izzy arc has felt like a sour note in an otherwise great season. I certainly haven't been able to engage with it as fully as I had hoped to do when I first saw hints of where things might go while watching the first episodes of the season.
I don't need a big speech or conversation about it all or even that much screen time devoted to it. But if the narrative wants me to buy a redemption arc for Izzy, the narrative needs to acknowledge what he's being redeemed for in the first place. When I talk about what's "earned" I'm talking about what the narrative has earned, not the characters. And right now, the narrative doesn't feel like it has earned more than me holding my nose to get through Izzy redemption scenes. And that's sad for me, because I've never felt like that about this show before.
I don't believe you earn forgiveness, or that you atone for your actions for someone else's sake. True forgiveness is something that the wronged party grants for their peace of mind. True atonement is something you do for yourself to make peace with yourself what you have done. Neither is "earned", much less through groveling or suffering. But both require acknowledging and reflecting on the truth of what happened, and that lack of narrative acknowledgement is the missing stair so many of us are having to learn how to work around when it comes to watching this season.
#and yeah I guess you could make some kind of metatextual argument about the missing stair#and how it's a perfect metaphor for Izzy the character too#which should allegedly make it fit within the narrative after all#but if that's the case then the execution is still lacking something and that makes me sad#because so many other things this season have been great!#our flag means death#ofmd#ofmd meta#ofmd s2 spoilers#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#ofmd spoilers#ofmd season 2 spoilers#izzy hands#fandom#ofmd fandom#the discourse#the izcourse

Buddie Week Q&A
You might have some questions, hopefully you'll find answers here :)
Is using AI allowed?
No! It has been proven that using AI is stealing from original creators' works. To me (and lots of other people) this is unethical. If I find out something is made with AI, it will be removed from the AO3 collection and the account will be blocked by this account.
I'm aware I can't do much to prevent people from using it anyway. I will try my absolute best to prevent it from happening. All I can do now is give you a tip I've seen going around: posting your works for registered users seems to protect against AI programs from finding it.
Which brings us to the next question
Can I post works on AO3 for registered users only?
Yes you can. Especially with AI going around so much, it is completely understandable that you want to keep it away from people without accounts. I myself also only post for registered users. There's no rule against it. Same with the comments, you can choose whatever option you want
Do I have to post on AO3?
No, you can post wherever you want. However, there is only an account for this event here on Tumblr and a collection on AO3. Posts on Twitter, Instagram or other places won't be shared by me.
But this is for everyone, so you can still create for it! You don't even need to tag me for it.
Will you reblog my work?
This is my first time hosting an event so I don't know what to expect. I want to reblog everything I find! I'll keep an eye on the Buddie Week 2024 tag and my mentions and will do my best to reblog everything.
With AO3 I want to share links on this blog too, but I don't know if everyone feels comfortable with that, so I don't know yet. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or feel exposed to an audience they don't want.
Depending on how many works will be submitted, it might take some time. I'm currently experiencing a burnout and am still working, so I don't always have the energy. However, I will try my damn best. So even if it's five weeks too late, I'm planning on reblogging everything I'm tagged in!
Can I write graphic/dark topics?
You can write whatever you want, BUT!!!! Tag accordingly. Buddie Week is for everyone - including writers and readers under 18. Be aware not everyone is comfortable with some topics, make sure it's obvious these are in your work so that it doesn't trigger someone. Tag it on AO3, Tumblr, or wherever you post so that people who have blocked/muted those tags won't come across it. Lets keep this a safe space for everyone!
What do I do if someone harrases me?
Tell me!
I want to make clear: NO HATEFUL COMMENTS. Even if you don't like someone's work. Move on. Click away. I'm sure people will write things I personally hate, like bashing fics, but I'll decide not to read it and move on.
If someone is hating on you, contact me. If they are (I will ask the opinions of other people - keeping you anonymous) then the person will get warning. If they do it again, they'll be disqualified - which means their work will be removed from the event and their account blocked by this account.
Please, don't hate on each other and let this be a fun and exciting week!
Can I combine this with other events or challenges?
Of course! If they allow it too.
Is there something else I can't write?
I think it's obvious to say that discriminating isn't okay. There's a difference by showing the reality of it (a character going through it) and writing it from a discriminating view. Thankfully I haven't rum into anyone who does write discriminating fanfiction, but I've heard about racism against 911 characters or homophobia.
If you notice this, don't be afraid to contact me!
When does the collection open?
A few days before the event starts. I will post something about it on here. However, works won't be shared by me until the event starts in my timezone (Central European Time)
My question wasn't answered by this
Send me an ask! I'll try my best to answer ASAP. I might need time to think about how to answer something, so don't worry about me ignoring you if you see me posting on my regular blog after you've sent something. (Though sometimes Tumblr doesn't immediately send me the notification)

puppy pack || thiam centric || completed || 5 chapters || 11k words || fluff and humor and a smidge of angst with a happy ending
summary:
Brett hosts a house party for the Puppy Pack. Liam and Theo get their clothes all wet.
---
“Whatever happened to all your brain cells, anyway?” Theo continues.
“My dad beat them out of me,” Liam answers without hesitation, several seconds before his brain-to-mouth filter in its current intoxicated state can keep up.
holy shit i finally finished this gargantuan (by my standards anyway) monstrosity. the first chapter is up!! and the rest is coming over the next few weeks.
this fic is pre-relationship because, although there’s a lot of cute thiam scenes (i hope), they are drunk, so i didn’t want to make them do anything too crazy. also this fic is kind of written so you can imagine slotting it in somewhere in a larger, slowest-of-slow-burns, overarching thiam story, so it’s not the right timing in my mind for them to get together just yet. this fic would be like a b-plot to an episode somewhere towards the end of the theoretical 7a that i like to imagine, intercut with scott and the older pack members Doing Plot Things like a bunch of losers.
if you want to know what sort of ride you’re getting into, this fic is mostly fluff and humour, just a happy little snapshot of the puppy pack being stupid kids and having fun. we take a brief dip into angst for chapters 3 & 4 but it has a happy ending and the angstiness doesn’t outweigh the shenaniganness too much imo. i wrote it to feel like some of the drinking experiences i have had as a youth, so hopefully it’s an authentic mix of dumbassery in a good way and dumbassery in an oh-my-god-you-could-have-died way.
this fic is dedicated to
@thiamsxbitch for leaving a lovely comment on “i lost my heart under the bridge” a few weeks ago that got me thinking about writing again, and for encouraging me all throughout, inspiring me with her own writing, validating my choice to post it in chapters even though the poll said no, being a lovely ray of sunshine, and making this fandom a more welcoming place🖤
@pearlspouch for gifting me a work that i decided to link this one to very slightly… it doesn't line up perfectly but at one point i mention liam and mason making a bet about skirts. if you want to know how that goes, you should read “You Look My Way And I Lose My Breath” by issawhatevah on ao3!!! i absolutely adore it, and it’s a brilliant read especially if you’re unsatisfied with thiam not (officially, anyway) getting together at the end of this. thanks again to sina for being an absolute legend🖤
@nuxmediocre for saying she would read this fic if i left it with its draft title (“weredickheads part four: why are you buying clothes at the soup store”). i did end up with a proper title, but i was just glad that someone appreciated my sense of humour, so thanks for that🖤
and to my real life friend and housemate who drank too much on the day i had literally just started planning to write this idea, for giving me first hand experience about dealing with someone who’s so sick from alcohol that you consider calling an ambulance. glad you survived bud, and your sacrifice contributed so much to gay fanfiction🙏
if you subject yourself to reading this, please leave me a comment with your thoughts and i will be eternally grateful🔥🖤🔥 tell me a song or songs that you think the puppy pack would absolutely thrive to (no, we do not care that it’s supposed to be 2014 in the timeline so don’t worry about that)
#teen wolf#thiam#thiam fanfic#theo raeken#liam dunbar#puppy pack#brett talbot#nolan holloway#mason hewitt#corey bryant#hayden romero#gwen teen wolf#alec teen wolf#lori rohr#it's almost 3am sheesh

they hate my disabled demonic swag
CO-WRITTEN BY @silverlistenstothings
Being a cane user in high school, Taylor's gotten some... interesting comments, but it hasn't come up in a while, so when it does, well...
It pisses him off.
Part 18 of The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Roommates
ao3
There are many things that are different about attending Teen High now that everything is over, but to Taylor's misfortune, some things remain the same.
Taylor is standing against the wall at the cafeteria waiting for Normal, Link, and Scary to meet up with him for lunch. He's always the first there, since his class ends a little earlier than theirs.
The Path of the Wind is playing in his headphones while he waits. It's calming, and reminds him of the catbus. Ah, he misses it… hopefully it's doing well.
Someone taps his shoulder, and he flinches, then slides his headphones off to see who's there.
It's not a friend, it's a teacher—no, an educational assistant. They usually help disabled kids in their classes.
"Taylor?" they ask, and their voice sounds familiar. There's a chance they worked at Taylor's elementary school before, because why else would they recognize him? Taylor's blanking on the name though, not that it really matters—why are they talking to him anyway?
"Um. In the flesh," he says, not with his usual boldness, because he still isn't sure why he's being spoken to.
"Why do you have a cane?"
…
…
Huh?
"Uh, 'cause I have chronic pain," Taylor answers, and the words are dry on his tongue. It's not the first time, but it's been a while.
"Oh, what kind of pain? Where is it?" they ask, leaning in too close, and looking at him in such an invasive way as if trying to formulate a diagnosis right then and there.
"My limbs and my back?"
It's not a question, but it comes out like one anyway because why are they asking him this —
"You know, I know someone else who…"
The rest of their words all blend together to Taylor. Something about 'oh I wonder if it's this' and 'you should try exercising more' and oh, his nails are definitely digging into his palms now, and where the fuck is the escape from this conversation—
"Ah, well, I'm sorry, you poor thing," they say, rubbing his arm, and a split-second later, when Taylor pulls away, a frown forms on their face. It's not unlike the expression he's gotten from teachers in the past, but this one makes him feel violent.
And then they walk away. And Taylor lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.
Jesus fucking christ.
"Taylor!" Normal calls, he's with Link and Scary, and soon they're all right by him discussing whether to buy food from the caf or share Link's packed lunch like yesterday.
"Hey, you okay?" Link asks, putting a hand on his shoulder. The touch feels like whatever the opposite of icky is. Nice, probably. Calming.
"I'm good, just…" Taylor glances around. The interrogator is still there, wandering around tables. Probably not within earshot, but still. "I'll tell you later, okay?"
"Okay," Link says, moving his arm to wrap around Taylor's shoulders while they walk to find a vacant table.
Taylor's breathing is heavy with frustration, but he makes an effort to steady it lest it progress into something worse.
✿
When Taylor gets home, Hermie isn't on the first floor. They're probably in their room?
Taylor needs to tell them about today. He didn't get a chance to relay the whole story to Link earlier and he feels he might explode, or start biting things—probably start biting things, actually—if he doesn't get the chance to complain.
Taylor runs up the stairs and knocks on the door. "Hermie!"
" Whaaat. "
Taylor opens the door. Hermie is half-sitting half-lying on their bed with their arms crossed over their chest, looking up at him with half lidded eyes.
"Thank you for being normal," Taylor says, closing the door.
"I'm Hermie," they say, closing their eyes.
"No—no, I mean—thank you for being normal about me having a cane ."
"Uh oh."
"What?"
"What happened?" Hermie asks, crossing their legs and sitting up at attention.
"Okay, I was waiting for Normal, Link, and Scary in the caf and then some random person approached me," Taylor starts, pacing back and forth beside Hermie's bed.
"Student?" Hermie asks, narrowing their eyes. They tilt their head as they continue to watch Taylor, as if weighing some options Taylor isn’t privy to.
"No."
"Okay.”
They sound a bit disappointed, but Taylor decides not to question it, caught up as he is in his own frustration.
"It was an educational assistant that I think I recognized from elementary school? I'm not sure. I don't fucking know—just—they came up to me out of nowhere and asked me why I have a cane, and I was like 'cause I have chronic pain, but then they kept asking fucking questions!" Taylor throws his free hand in the air and sucks in a breath before continuing.
"Like—like they asked where the pain is, and what do I even say to that? 'Oh, yeah, it's fucking everywhere'!? And, oh my god, Hermie, they started trying to fucking—fucking figure out what it is. Last I checked that wasn't anyone else's fucking business? And I—I just stood there being inspected , I'm fucking— ugh! "
Taylor can feel his nails dig into his palm again, but god, his head is on fire right now.
"And you know what happened next? You know what they said? 'You poor thing.' "
Hermie scoffs, but Taylor can tell the anger isn’t directed at him. They do seem angry though, and Taylor feels a little vindicated by that reaction. Not enough to do much about his own anger, though.
"They said they're sorry . Sorry? I was just minding my own business, vibing , mind you, to my music while waiting for my friends and they think they can just randomly approach me like that? What the actual fuck!?"
“That’s fucked,” Hermie says helpfully, patting the bed beside them.
Taylor doesn’t really want to sit down, still vibrating with frustration, but it’s probably best if he does. He falls backwards onto their bed, grabbing a pillow and putting it over his face to muffle a frustrated yell. Hermie pats his leg comfortingly.
“Get that pillow off your face before you suffocate. Deep breaths, Taylor.”
There’s a brief flash of instinctual anger, don’t tell me to calm down, I’m angry and I have the right to be, but he knows Hermie is right. He throws the pillow to the side, and takes a sharp breath in—drawing the heels of his hands to dig into his shut eyes and clawing at his hair with his nails—and lets it out as another frustrated groan.
Hermie waits for him to calm down some before continuing.
“I know I don’t have to tell you that your anger is justified, so let’s just skip over that part,” Hermie starts, and their own tone is a bit tense as well, their tail tapping a frustrated rhythm against the mattress between them. “I think next time someone asks, you should tell them to fuck off. Or, I suppose, if it’s an EA that could get you in trouble, you can just tell them you need it, no explanation necessary. If they continue to press it, I think you could hardly be blamed for resorting to violence.”
Taylor brings his hands down from his face, and something about the frustration in Hermie's tone in Taylor's honour paired with the advice makes him, despite the heat of anger still coursing through him, crack a small smile. "Are you saying I should attack them?"
“I would never say that,” Hermie says, faux-offended with a hand dramatically placed over their chest. “I’m just saying, you have a weapon,” they gesture at his cane, “and if you did, you could hardly be blamed… and I’m sure the others would cover for you.”
The adrenaline rush has mostly dissipated, which means Taylor is left to feel the aches all over his body. It always worsens when he gets riled up. Attacking people being intrusive does seem like it'd be rather satisfying. "You really think I could get away with… nah, I can't do that." Taylor chuckles. "Sounds fun though. Oh, but I will definitely be telling people to fuck off," he says, stretching his arms out and flipping off the ceiling, and then he shouts: " Fuck you! "
“That’s the spirit,” Hermie says with a small, satisfied smile. “And if anyone really gives you trouble for it, I’m sure Chaparral wouldn’t miss me if I skipped a day to join you at Teen High instead. You might be above resorting to violence, but I am not.”
Taylor bites his lip, but he's grinning even harder. There's something about Hermie threatening violence for Taylor that makes him giddy.
And grateful.
He brings his arms back down—they're aching even more from being thrown up like that but whatever, it was worth it—and he rests one hand on his chest. He extends the other out toward Hermie and wiggles his fingers a little.
Hermie eyes his hand suspiciously for a moment, glancing from it to his face and back, before cautiously placing their hand in Taylor’s as if expecting a trap. They don’t seem too genuinely worried though, eyes still amused even if they’re not smiling anymore.
Taylor tightens his grip on Hermie's hand. It's warm and sweaty and reassuring. Then his eyes fall shut.
It’s quiet for a while, before Hermie lets out a long sigh and squeezes Taylor’s hand.
“Alright, come on, you don’t want to fall asleep like that,” Hermie says, tugging at his hand gently as they return their pillows to their rightful places and gesture for Taylor to lay down beside them.
Taylor does so, and he curls up against Hermie with their hands still interlocked. His head is on their chest, and Hermie is warm, and so is Taylor; they both tend to run hot, which doesn't seem like it'd be great on paper, but in actuality, it's quite comforting.
The rise and fall of Hermie’s chest is slow and even, and Taylor’s eyes quickly fall shut again. The last thing he feels before drifting off to sleep is Hermie’s tail curling protectively around him.

oh boy :( i knew this was gonna happen, i knew infinite ko and her blogger friends were gonna find your account and then question you personal view on nondualism and tell you that you're wrong and they're right. they always do this, infiniteko and her little blogger squad does this to everyone on here who says even the smallest thing about another blogger or speaks out on the tumblr nondualism community.
i LOVE your tumblr for this reason, you don't spew the same shit they do and you actually understand that some anons understand things differently and may not understand things said in one way. i appreciate that so much, because even with nondualism aside, there are things i struggle understanding IRL and i need things explained differently a few times before i understand it, and its not often that i find someone who actually takes the time to break it down and help me understand. so i appreciate so much how you explain things and how you truly understand where us anons are coming from. its like you have been in our position before and you actually want to help us on our path to realization rather than being bitter and quick tempered when we dont understand what something means.
hopefully other bloggers can just leave you alone, and this doesnt become a huge thing and everyone can just go their own ways, but @mysticbewitched just know that ur page is GENUINELY helpful to people. i feel like i can actually ask questions here and not get shamed by you. please continue with your posts and podcasts and everything you do, you're one of the actually good bloggers on here who doesn't go on power trips🙏💜💜💜💜💜
I mostly definitely understand where my precious anon family is coming from because I've been there and I know how frustrating it feels. It took me quite awhile to truly understand nonduality on a deeper level because the standard way of sharing this philosophy was not helpful to me at all. None of it ever deeply resonated with me or spoke to my heart.
Everybody understands things differently and certain ways of sharing this philosophy may not resonate with everyone which is perfectly alright and that should never be shamed.
I only wanted to offer a new perspective which has personally transformed my perception of myself and my whole world. I've been able to experience peace, bliss, and freedom just from realizing my true self.
Once you realize your inner divine nature of awareness which infinite, boundless, and absolute omnipotence then that's all there is to it. It becomes easy and effortless to create and shape your own reality to be as beautiful and magical as you desire for it to be whenever you have confidence in yourself and your own abilities to create as awareness in the human form.
What was helpful and transformative for me is exactly what I share here in order to help open doors for others who feel lost or confused on their own spiritual journey.
I'm here to inspire, empower, liberate you, and encourage all of you to turn within to find your answers, so you can listen to your heart and stay true to what it tells you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, love, and your support. It means so much to me and deeply touches my heart. I appreciate you very much. 🖤

Some small totk spoilers don't really affect the game.
Wild is smaller than his zelda and now I just believe that the links are between 4and 6ft tall time being the tallest 6ft and four being the shortest 4ft altho some people believe them to be really tall and I understand that but the earlier is more funny to me. So just the chain reaction to reader being taller than all of them, would they trust reader with weapons because of their hight, would they try to get piggyback from reader, would they themselves try pick reader up to impress them, who would blush the most from being princess/shoulder carried by tall reader.
And most of all, what would the chains reaction to reader deciding to do this on legend/time for some fun.
Four is usually upset with people treating him as short. He feels like a lot of people look down at him because they have to look down at him when speaking. His height makes him look younger than he really is but on his worst days he finds that you don't make him feel lesser. Sure he's used to being around time or Twilight who tower above him but they're his friends. His allies. His brothers in arms.
You're his best friend- hopefully lover- and it really doesn't bother him but it's strange because he's never felt like being the shorter one was more fun? He's shooting his shot with you and you pull him into a hug and his head is just buried into your chest/stomach (depending on how tall you are). It's the best feeling in the world having you hold him even if he won't admit it just how much he craves it.
Warrior is a simp. He loves his tall spouse. His baby girl/boy who he can't baby because they tower over him. He's always so flustered. Tripping over himself and his words trying to play it cool while in reality he's so worked up over how you make him feel.
He simps so quietly but all the others can tell. They poke fun at him here and there but it's no joke to him. He wants you to lean over him and whisper at him and gently tease him. What that man would do to have you chase after him.
Wind doesn't understand how everyone is so short in comparison. He likes to poke fun at the taller ones, Twilight and Time, for being the size of ants now. It's all fun in games but he's also very short too. It's ok because now he has someone else who can toss him like Fierce ones.
Time has talked to Malon about you and they both want you to come visit the ranch. Malon can't wait to meet you and Time has tried to describe you to her but he has to look up- something he's not used to- he isn't sure he does you justice
You're tall and cute- no one can deny that- and those legs are appealing to look at when marching for hours. He doesn't mind walking behind you if it means he gets to stare.
Wild is used to being short. What he isn't used to is being able to climb someone like a tree. You're the one person he'll listen to when his chaos gets out of hand. When it's time to settle down he'll listen to you and relax. The champion looks up to you (literally most of the time) and he feels a little put off by this. It makes him blush and he loses track of what he was saying. When you sit down he'll stand and lean against a tree for better support.
Sky doesn't mind at all. In fact he finds it appealing. Being the smaller spoon makes so much more sense now, and he can wrap himself around your body when he naps. Man enjoys feeling sweet and short. Brings something blushing in him out as he giggles to himself how much he loves being held by you.
Hyrule in fairy form sitting on your shoulder. He also enjoys being the small spoon and can't say he minds your height. The great fairies are naturally very tall and he grew up at a fountain. Your height somehow makes him feel calm and sort of giddy. He finds it very appealing.
Legend, much like Hyrule, does not find your height anything new. He's travelled all over the world and been around people who are much taller. It doesn't change much with how he feels or tries to court you, but it does put him off balance how much he adores it when you lean down and whisper something you don't want the other to hear.
Being taller doesn't mean they'll suddenly trust you with weapons. They do agree you can't go without protection- and this is where things differ. With a shorter reader they have an easier time babying you and reassuring you you don't need one. Since you're so much taller it's harder to treat you like you're weaker than you seem. They'll try but it takes a bit more cunning.
Piggyback? Yes. Wind and Wild especially love them. Hyrule got a ride on your shoulder in fairy form which counts. Twilight got one and he's since never been able to admit it but he really enjoyed it, but he can't get them after. Muscles weigh a lot more than fat making it difficult for you to hold him for long.
Legend would love to ask for one but it is too proud, but if you do give him one he'll bury his head into your shoulder and just pass out. Not unlike Sky who did almost fall asleep while being given a piggyback ride. Four prefers piggyback to being carried because being carried makes him feel ridiculous.
Warrior would pick you up and make a show of it. He's swooning you and twirling you around before Time takes over and does the same, adding in some more moves to try and one up the captain. Fierce, who prides himself and his might and also his ability to dance, would put an end to the contest. Your height makes no difference to him being able to swing you around and dip you low.
Warrior did not ask for a piggyback but he did ask for you to carry him. He can have a hard time opening up to people and being vulnerable. It makes him super embarrassed about it but he would like to be swooned. You carrying him bridal style was such a tender moment.
Obviously he had to take his armour off to make it easier but it was worth it.
Sky also loves to be bridal carried but he has to admit he'd prefer to find a way to carry you like that. Time is on the fence because he would love for you to but he's worried about you straining yourself.
Times brain would shut off if you picked him up like that. Pinning him to the wall making him look at you, it sure is something. Unfortunately for him his brain isn't running well enough for him to think.
For Legends part he takes it so well. He has to try not to laugh. It's been awhile since the veteran has been on the playing field when it comes to flirting but this is his golden opportunity. He goes all in with charm and tries his best to make you swoon while you're the one holding him up.
For Legends part he doesn't mind being picked up because he's more used to the idea. He's never been the tallest in the room. Unlike the old man- who has been put into 'tall but not that tall' zone. It's new territory for him.

all im saying is that since the paraglider is in totk with an updated revali's logo, revali should also be in totk (preferably alive this time) ✋
idk if i would say it's truly an updated "revali's logo" ykwim because now it has four feathers on each wing instead of three :o but i'm very interested to see what the narrative reason for why link's paraglider was updated and if there will be an explanation as to why he has one in the first place.
imo as someone with so much revalink brainrot, regardless of whether or not link regained memories of his past life, he probably recognized that the paraglider had some significant sentimental value to him back then, and hopefully recognized that it must have belonged to revali previously as per revali's symbol on his main landing in rito village and flight range landing. maybe then he realized that he needed to maintain it to, at the very least, honor revali's memory, even if it seemed that revali didn't like him very much. after all, revali was a great warrior revered by his people, one who sacrificed his life in an attempt to save hyrule, and someone who must have mattered to link if the paraglider fatefully fell in his hands. he feels a great need to maintain it and be respectful of one of the remainders of revali's legacy. but give me back the botw paraglider design, it's charming and it's definitely revali!
now. this might be an unpopular opinion but it's one that i stand staunchly by because i talked about it a bit in this post. to be honest, i want to see the champions revived in totk. i'm sure plenty of you would disagree and play the card that the death of the champions was meant to teach link about loss, despair, the effects of war, sacrifice, and all those morals etc. but imo, the problem with teaching link those lessons is that it doesn't feel like much was lost in the first place. maybe this is a personal perception of botw on my end, but to me, there weren't enough of the champions' presence in botw to warrant this idea that it taught link about loss. if you were to go by the idea that link retained all his previous memories, then sure, but it doesn't work if you go the route where he doesn't and everything in the past is just flickers of memories he can't ever really recall. how can you tell a story about grief and loss and sacrifice if your main character, and by extension, your players who are connected to the story via that main character, can't feel a profound enough loss of those characters to understand the moral of the story? the presence of the champions in botw only made me want to see more of them because it felt like their time in the little sliver of spotlight they got was too short. and you could include age of calamity! but that's a non-canon prequel so it can't even really count 😭 i haven't played the champions' ballad dlc, so maybe there could be a change of mind if i did but why would you put a paywall if you want to teach a solid story about loss and sacrifice? what a shit way to tell a story 🥸
but i digress. yeah i do want revali and the rest of the champions back in totk, for all types of shenanigans and interactions. give them back to me nintendo ☝️😐
#revalink#loz#botw#totk#loz botw#loz totk#legend of zelda#amihan's revalinkverse#amihan's botwverse#amihan's totkverse#ask#cryiling#call me a braindead shipper ig but we were robbed of revalink interactions!#anyways i'm willing to hear out anyone who opposes but i most likely won't change my mind#i really do believe that there's a level of detachment between link and the champions#like there does not feel like a genuine enough relationship between him and the champions to say all that idk#botw link feels like Some Guy who got roped into saving the world#and because of that the champions just feel like ghosts of characters who deserved more#idk like it doesn't feel narratively fair to create characters like the champions and never come back to them#i can't grieve properly or feel any sort of loss for someone who i never really got to know#don't take this too serious either i am NAWT looking for a fight ✋😭

Winterhawkhood-tober-eve
Tomorrow is the big day to start the big month!
To set the mood and hopefully help inspire, we wanted to share links to the 28 current AO3 tagged Jason/Clint/Bucky works!
Check them out, kudos/comment/bookmark, boost, and get ready for - hopefully - dozens more!
(make my love) like a circle by @flowerparrish, rated T:
"You're not a barista because you're gay," Bucky says, speaking just a moment before his hand drops down onto Clint's shoulder and squeezes once. He nudges Clint away from where he's apparently been mumbling aloud to the espresso machine, beginning to deftly prepare a cappuccino with one hand quicker than Clint could have with two.
He's beauty, he's grace, and Clint wants to kiss his face.
The podfic! also by the amazing @flowerparrish
another the podfic! by @yuurei
Get Into Your Slide by @bittercape, rated E:
“Jay,” Bucky says. He can hear the steely undertone in his own voice. So can Clint, judging by the way his shoulders tense. Jason looks up, eyes dark and mouth slack and wet. “Make him beg.”
Jason grins, wide and feral.
“My pleasure,” he says.
oddly good to hurt by @flowerparrish, rated T:
He’d kind of assumed they’d ignore his non-responsiveness until he was better, but apparently not. It took Jason a long, head-achy moment to focus on the words in Clint’s last text, but he seemed downright worried.
Now Jason felt shitty, but at least he felt a different kind of shitty? Yay for variety.
[podfic of] oddly good to hurt podfic by @kbirbpods
getting you off is my new favourite hobby by @veryrach, rated E:
A series of drabbles for Kinktober.
the mortifying ordeal of being known by @flowerparrish,rated T:
Bucky makes another confused noise.
There's no point in keeping silent now, so Clint explains, “Nat made me shorts that say ‘call me buir’ika’ on them for Christmas last year and I wore them in front of Jason once."
“I’m just doing what they say,” Jason points out. Like an asshole.
“Why?” Clint groans.
“Because you’re cute when you blush,” Bucky tells him immediately. “And Jason likes to make you squirm.”
The podfic! by @kittonafoxgirl @vexbatch @kbirbpods @flowerparrish
another the podfic! by @yuurei
I Know You by @claraxbarton, rated E:
“I really thought the Hulk dildo would be more impressive.”
Some days, Bucky really, really wondered what the fuck he was doing with his life.
the beauty of discovery by @flowerparrish, rated E:
Clint hasn't had sex in a while, because it's weird and uncomfortable and he's got a complicated enough relationship with his body that he doesn't need to go pressing buttons marked Do Not Touch for no good reason. Plus, when living with Nat, she'd just go to the gym if he needed alone time, and now he lives alone.
Except.
He also, now, has the complication of two really attractive boyfriends and a habit of panicking whenever things get a little too steamy.
of people wrapped up tight in things that will kill them by @bittercape, rated M:
Tragically, this is not the first time Clint wakes up on a concrete floor to the exciting view of metal bars. At this point in his life he’s not even sure why he expects anything else. On the bright side, he’s not trussed up like a turkey or even cuffed, and he’s still wearing clothes. His own clothes, even. That’s two whole bright sides, which frankly is unprecedented.
It'll Only Last by @claraxbarton, rated E:
Fun fact: Gotham had the highest concentration of whatthefuckery in the entire world. Or it would, if anyone bothered to record those kind of metrics.
Someone should.
Then again, Gotham so obviously won the title that maybe it wasn’t necessary. Still, there were some other places Clint had been that should definitely come with a warning label. Someone should definitely write a guidebook.
It was in the middle of a firefight between assholes who worked for the Black Mask, assholes who worked for The Penguin, and an asshole going by Red Hood that Clint allowed himself the very brief daydream of him and Bucky fucking off and traveling the world and writing a guide book about whatthefuckery.
And then someone shot him.
The One Where Clint Goes to Preschool by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated G:
"I keep petitioning for hazard pay, but — please don’t grab, Cassie! Let’s use our polite asking words.”
“You don’t get hazard pay?” Clint asks.
She gives him a look that clearly says, Don’t ask stupid questions, but what comes out of her mouth is, “Nobody teaches pre-k to get rich, and nobody lives in Gotham for the peace and quiet. Simon, buddy! Walking inside, not galloping, okay? Anyway, it’s a nationwide problem, really, but full-time daycare options in this city are — no thank you, Quincy! Excuse me for a second.”
She bolts over to the other side of the room, where two kids are locked in a screaming tussle over a toy.
In a shocking twist of events, Simon trips and eats it in spectacular fashion a couple feet away from Clint. He props himself up on chubby arms, looking down at the traitorous ground and then up at Clint like he’s expecting commiseration.
“Let me guess, didn’t see that one coming?” Clint says.
Maroon Kind of Mood by @claraxbarton, rated E:
Clint Barton, bloody-nosed, black-eyed, hair mussed and shirt - just gone - grinned at him from his slump against the doorframe.
“Hey,” Clint drawled, stretching out the last syllable in a way that quite literally spelled trouble.
Jason rolled his eyes.
“No.”
The One Where They Connect A Couple of Dots by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:
“Did you swallow a Gender Studies 101 textbook?” Steph asks.
“No, but my boyfriend has been super into dismembering the patriarchy lately.”
“You mean dismantling?”
“Yeah, that. Totally.”
Odd Man Out by @claraxbarton, rated E:
“Batman’s dead,” Bucky said before the engine had even fully cut out.
Clint blinked, wondered if that last explosion had been close enough that maybe he was suffering a concussion and hallucinations. Again.
“Huh?” he said, just to be safe.
Bucky scowled, not his listen up scowl but his shit, are you concussed? scowl. So that was probably a point in the favor of Bucky being real.
“Batman’s dead,” Bucky repeated.
Okay. So. Real. And that was… some real shit.
“Fuck.”
The One With All The Dick Jokes by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:
Jason groans and drops his forehead to the table, thunking it on the wood a couple times for good measure.
“What’s wrong?” Clint asks.
“He’s just so… Dick,” Jason mumbles.
Parade by @claraxbarton rated M:
When Natasha had asked Clint to house-sit for her while she was out of the country for six weeks, she had given him a very specific and very concise list of rules to follow:
Feed Liho at 6am and 6pm.
Feed the fish at 6am and 6pm.
Feed yourself at least two meals a day. Coffee is not a meal.
Change the litter machine every four days.
Pick up the mail every day. Delivers at 3:37 except Saturday at 11:18.
Do NOT talk to 2B/ Alice Lucello. Do NOT carry her groceries. Do NOT go into her apartment.
Do NOT call the super to fix anything. Fix it yourself or call me. Do NOT let him into the apartment.
Do NOT use the stove.
Do NOT fuck 4C.
The One With The Kittens by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:
“Be nice, it’s not every day someone gets tranqed for the first time,” says another voice, low and steady, the speaker still out of sight.
“You never forget your first,” says Red Hood.
Ronin chuckles, flipping Drew’s fake ID between his fingers. “Is that like a coming-of-age ritual around here?��
“What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned bar mitzvah?” grumbles the third voice, its owner appearing in the doorway — and it’s then that Drew knows he’s really, truly fucked, because that flickering light is now glinting off a metal arm.
Salt in the Wound by @claraxbarton rated M:
“Well, well, well, you come here often?”
Despite himself, despite the goofy line and even goofier delivery, Bucky can’t help the grin spreading on his face when he hears the familiar drawl and looks up into a very familiar face.
Bucky’s been nursing a drink at the open bar for the last twenty minutes, avoiding as much small talk as he can at the Stark Charity Gala, and he’s been pretty successful up until now. Something about his ‘murder face’ keeping the ‘civilians’ away.
But Clint Barton, shit eating grin broad and stupid and handsome on his face, and Jason Todd, fuck-off smirk deadly and handsome on his face, clearly don’t care about his murder face. And they aren’t civilians.
Clint pulls Bucky into a hug and holds him close and tight like they’ve just come through a war and not just another season of professional baseball.
He lets Bucky go with a squeeze to his neck and a brush of lips against his cheek that probably no one else but them and Jason catch.
The One With The Overheard in Gotham Blog by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock rated T:
Man 1: Babe, you’re so cute I just wanna smush your face sometimes.
Man 2: Babe, I am the scourge of the underworld, can you not?
Third Wheel by @kangofu-cb rated E:
“Listen,” the guy says, and his voice is low and kinda rough, and he’s got an accent Bucky can’t quite place. “I’m not tryin’ to overstep, but I overheard kind of a lot and like. I know you’re, uh… trying to work through some shit, man, and I get it. I, uh, had kinda a fanatical upbringing myself. But I’m not sure this guy is the one to work it out with, you know?”
Bucky… is going to kill Clint. Suddenly all of Clint’s odd comments and strangely demure behavior and even his clothes start to make a kind of insane sense. He’s play-acting at more than just a first date. Clint’s pretending to be someone else entirely, and Bucky’s not sure if it’s a joke or a bad attempt at seduction, but either way a heads-up before the evening started would have prevented a hell of a lot of confusion and maybe prevented Bucky from nearly murdering his husband in a bar in Hell’s Kitchen on a Wednesday night.
The One With the Pottery Barn Couch by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock rated T:
"Just kidding," Jason says. “I have a dog, a boyfriend who wears an apron when he bakes, and a couch from Pottery Barn. Domestic as fuck.”
That gets a solid laugh before Dick continues, “I know that your, um… profession complicates things —”
“What could you possibly mean?” Jason asks innocently, wiping blood off a knife.
“ — but everybody deserves to find love.”
Throw My Body In The River by @claraxbarton rated T:
The thing was, Jason was twenty three and had spent his teenage years as a vigilante and then some more of his teenage years dead and then brainwashed and then hell-bent on revenge. Middle school had been hell and he’d never even had the chance to go to high school for more than a month before his life very abruptly ended.
He knew, from being around Dick and Roy, and now Clint and Bucky, that being twenty three and still a virgin wasn’t exactly normal, even - perhaps especially - considering his circumstances. But, well. Jason was twenty three and a virgin and it sure as hell didn’t seem like that was going to change anytime soon.
You Can't Be On Edge Forever by @vexbatch rated G:
Prompt: your scrungliest meow-meow gets a nice thing for once
Bucky and Clint try to surprise Jason with a nice time. It doesn't go exactly as intended.
you know i live to fill you up by @mightymightygnomepriest rated E:
5 Christmases Jason got laid, and then another one he also got laid. And then another other one he got laid, too.

I'm looking for a roleplay buddy, and friend(s)
I've been in need of a roleplay buddy for a while since a certain incident with my old one, but I'm a very open person.
> what I can do:
• NSFW/SFW
• angst/ fluff
• ships! (I'm big on this, I do crack/ rare pairs and a big multishipper I love to hear headcannons and such )
• serious plot (I'm a sucker for a story, I've wrote quite alot in my free time)
• jokes + comedy (I'm a comedy kinda person I'm always free to joke around )
• paragraphs / short sentences! (I like doing inbetween cause sometimes I can be a bit lazy !)
• lore (I'm a sucker for this I love writing lore and writing things together ♡)
• Oc/Cannon characters (Hcs are supported I'd like to talk them out! >this also applies for cannon x cannon, oc x oc , or oc x cannon , I'd prefer if you ship persona x cannon at least be at age ☆
~~~~~~~~~
> Fandoms I'm in:
• Elsword
• Genshin (I do not play currently but I'm still greatly involve with this game!)
• Honkai star rail
• Honkai impact
• Hello charlotte
• idenity v
• omori
• danganronpa
• undertale + Aus( deltarune as well)
• Fnaf (I'm not into this one as much but I still love to talk about theories and lore , I recently watched the movie!)
• JJBA
> besides this I'm into a bunch of others and willing to listen to suggestions!
How to contact me!
I have mainly two apps I use for communication, sometimes even amino along with this! You may contact me via discord but send a warning of you sending a friend request through any of my others message areas! I'll leave a link to my Twitter and my disc account.
Boundaries♡
I don't have any issues with people really but I'm not exactly a extroverted person but I like to hang out via calls or games! When I meet people I am a bit hesitant but I do like to talk and listen as long as we can both keep the convo going , but there's certain things I will not tolerate, aka the following
(slander of Lgtbq+ any other genders or sexualities ) now as a person who's not straight myself, I don't judge if you are straight or not, but I will not react kindly to making fun of this. I'm not fully aware of every thing even new ones and flags because I never really payed attention due to my life growing up.
(Racism ) now, I really love dark jokes, but it comes to something seriously racist or comments that make others uncomfortable I will not tolerate behavior like this.
(SA/ other stuff or grooming/pedo ) if you find this stuff okay, don't interact at all this isn't okay in any manner. The only acceptance I take of this is when it's in a characters past / story and you mention it to inform someone or have some angst to a story but if you support these it's a no go.
(Making fun of mental illness with serious intent) same as the previous thing I will not tolerate the comments hateful towards this, but if a character has any of these please do your best to research it so this doesn't come off as offensive and if you think you have any certain illness ect, please seek medical assistant ect so a doctor could provide you proper evaluation of this, because I am not a therapist or a doctor unfortunately, but I am someone who hopefully you can rely on.
Back on topic of my boundaries (toxic behavior ) i will not stand for any of this rather it's straying from judging a certain pair from the game or someone else's head cannons, it's not okay to talk down upon someone who has different likes or opinions then you, even if it's cannon please keep your opinions to yourself, you can talk to me about it if you don't really see it yourself, but please keep it respectful, but with this you are allowed to have different opinions! Let's just not cause a fight over this ♡.
(Competitive ) well this should be pretty obvious but I am very competitive and I stray from some anger issues, but however I have worked on this and still am, if something where to happen don't blame yourself and tell me if there's anything I can change , please don't be rude about it though, I'd like to be treated with respect as the same way we'd hopefully treat each other.
(Religious matters)so, about this, I am not a religious person but I grew up with my family being religious, if you're in a religion, that's alright ! I won't judge you, I actually encourage you to tell me more about this but, I do not want to have religious aspects forced onto me and hopefully the same goes for you!
(Other matters )
There's of course more but, some what personal, I'm not looking for anything romantic lol cause it's not that kind of search but a friend, i can share ideas with and have fun doing any little bits, and of course I will respect your boundaries as well (you will have to tell me this if we do decide to go through with this ) as well as other things I can't think of on top of my head!
Basic info!
My name is Sirius stated in my bio, I like art and writing, I'm a big game nerd and often listen to music when I'm bored or trying to zone out. I do have a tendency to spoil my friends with gifts whenever I have spare money, I'm probably a person that knows I'm a people pleaser, I have no problem with it as long as no ones forcing me to do it!
Age - over 18 ☆, if you do nsfw I do recommend being at least being a year around this age or over for the safety of both of us!
Birthday / sign , my birthday is July 6, I'm a proud Cancer, but if you don't care for zodiacs it's okay! I can't say I'm a expert on it!
Time zone and availability!
I'm usually available 24/7 besides school I am still in high-school, close to graduating and I do plan to go to college , we can arrange a schedule to your likings if you ask! My time schedule is EST, somewhere in Indiana! I will not give any more personal details closer then that.
Heritage/race?. Okay so I'll just say I'm Hispanic/French, I know some weird combos like lol I have some native American and German in me but the most noticeable is the first two, I do not have an accent that I can tell since I grew up speaking English all my life but, I can write in Spanish and French, I do not fluently speak this and may translate my words wrong but that's why I'm learning some more! Trust me I love people's heritages and hearing about different life styles, this falls into a list of wanting to learn more, head cannons and just facts along with correcting me if I misunderstood something!
Fun facts
I really like shades of purple most commonly lavender and Mauve(if that's how you spell it 💀),
some of my comfort characters - Furina/focalors, Xiao, scaramouche(wanderer), layla, Seele(HSr and honkai impact), jingliu, Melly (idv) and some others from different fandoms!
I've been told I'm very oblivious so hopefully we can share some fun laughs other me being dumb!
What I'm looking for.
Besides this, I want this person to be themselves though I have som preferences I hope we can get along, even with what I'm looking for don't feel the need to change yourself for me, honestly I just wanna have fun.
But specifically I'll list some things I'll have alot of fun with regardless
• someone with similar hobbies, I'd like to share common interest along with someone I can play games with and someone who will be active with me.
• of course the obvious thing, someone who likes these fandoms I'm in even if it's just two or one it'll be okay, hell even if you don't know em hopefully you'd be open to knowing more (do be aware I like sending pictures and ranting about lore ect)
• I'd like someone to be around the same age group as me so we can avoid complications, but if you're a bit younger or older then me, that's perfectly fine but I hope you understand why I'm looking for someone around 16-20 , I really hope that doesn't sound weird.
• jokes and passive aggressive friendship, I'm a bit of a jerk and i tend to like to poke friend it'd be nice to have someone who can poke and joke back and share jokes, hell even calling me out for being smth or a nerd if needed 💀
•someone okay with gifts even if they're small, as I mentioned earlier I like spoiling my friends and being a people pleaser.. so, if you are okay with receiving gifts then we're gonna be just fine! as long as I'm not begged constantly we'll do just fine, oh and, don't feel like you have to pay me back or anything, you appreciating it is enough for me (I'm not saying you don't have to gift me back , >>this applies if you generally want to, do not pressure or force yourself to get me anything!)
• okay with calling and such even dark jokes, now I will not request you doing this instantly unless you generally want to! I will be paitent and steady for us to get to know each other
• meeting my other friends , now I'm not a total loser I made this mainly because I want someone I can eventually be close with! My friends are decently nice and I want force you to meet them right away hell, you can even join us in friend rps if you want
• someone who will share their music interest and art with me, I like learning and taking advice even tips from other artist and I think it'd be an experience to hear each other's favorite music, artist and even writer!
• chill days , i can't always be open to roleplay and I hope you'd understand as if it were you, so I'd hope to be able to spend some chill days where we talk and even game together hell, even if I stream a movie for us
• someone with discord mainly because that's what I use the most !
~ this is basically all I'm really hoping for Maybe I could list more later but that's it for now ~
This concludes it really because I've been working on this for more then an hour and I just want to make it simple.
Links you can use to contact me:
Twitter: https://x.com/Oddball145?t=dxdtuKddosGj7wddDwSKxA&s=09

I have some others but I can't list them on top of my head!
And of course here on Tumblr!
That's all I wanted to state, and don't feel like you have to do any of this, it's only an option for if you want to do this with me! But with that, have a good day/night afternoon and a star blessed time

20 Questions for Fic Writers
@ghostcat3000 tagged me. Thank you!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
26
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
188,069
3. What fandoms do you write for?
None. Um. I've written for SKAM and back in the day HP, I have a couple of outlines for KinnPorsche, but in practice I don't actually write now...
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
run down till the rain delights you
I like my sugar with coffee and cream (wtf)
But the prettiest sight to see
And up to the head
Bloody fucking sodding shit
All SKAM, all Evak. I'm not counting the actual no. 5, Knuter på tråden, because that was a communal Scandi effort where I wrote 2 short ones of 38 chapters.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do. I think it's only polite to say thank you somehow when people have made the effort to comment. I can understand that massively popular writers in enormous fandoms don't, but me puttering about, sometimes even in Norwegian? Yeah, I respond.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
It's a (true) drabble. It's Evak. It's here. I'm fairly certain @champagneleftie will never forgive me.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I don't really do sad endings, at the worst they'll be a little ambiguous.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I haven't yet!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Fuck yeah. I don't really know what to say about what kind - hopefully the hot and not embarrassing kind.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Don't write them, hardly ever read them.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes. Fucking Wattpad assholes. It's been a true joy to see those accounts banned after reporting the thefts.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not counting the ones I've translated myself (sometimes with lots of help from darling @mynameisnotthepoint) from Norwegian to English, who knows. I've been asked for permission several times, and I okay it and ask for a link to the finished translation, and then it's *crickets*, so probably not.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, with @himmelskys (Rake veien) and @vesperthine (run down till the rain delights you and the roll of the harbour wake).
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
That has to be Even/Isak, although Jaeyoung/Sangwoo and Vegas/Pete own parts of my soul.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have a supernatural being Evak hibernating on my drive, but...
16. What are your writing strengths?
I do dialogue really well, complete with interruptions and repeats and various other little ways humans talk. Also I'm pretty good at steering clear of exposition and putting effort into showing, not telling.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Plot. I'm completely shit at plotting something. I'm great at world-building, but that doesn't really help. I keep to snapshot scenes, mostly.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't. I may put something in italics and drop a word or phrase into it to show that it's in a different language than the one the characters speak, but in general dialogue (and phrases!) in another language only serves to jar the reader and I very much don't want that.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Er, if I don't count snippets I came up with pre-LJ it was HP.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Eventyr (SKAM, Evak, fairytale AU, English, by all means read if you like). I'm ridiculously pleased with how I managed to make Even not-human in it.
Do I dare to tag someone? Probably not, but if you read this and write fic I'd like to see your answers.

ok since i know you as the excellent writer mutual, i wondered if you had any advice for creating ocs? one of my other moots asked if i had any ocs and now i REALLY want to create one. but it looks hard af. so turning to a venerable author for guidance
OHHHHH GOD. First of all, I gotta thank you for the description (😭 seriously), I'm trying my best out here.
SECOND. I think I might be able to help, depending on what sort of OC you're trying to make, whether they're real world, fandom related, alien, D&D/Medieval Fantasy etc. Like. WOAH. There's a lot of freedom in making OCs!!!
Long-ish post below the cut!
Instead of actually wracking my brains rn, because evening is drawing in and I'm tired, I am gonna tell you a few things that no one told me! Plus some extra fun knowledge (and maybe tag you in OC dialogue prompts/creation advice in future if you want some help!!)
SO. 1. You can start whenever, wherever, and no one is allowed to tell you otherwise. I'm not sure how else to say this, but it's a game of creativity and a bit of love. To tell someone else what they're allowed and what they aren't allowed to put in their OCs is WRONG. Give them magic powers if that's the only thing you can think of at first, because it's a start and a start is always beautiful.
2. Art is art!! Even if it stays in your brain and never comes out. By this I mean, appearances: what do they look like? Is it what You want to look like? Is it nonhuman? Experiment with races, hairstyles, eyeshapes etc, especially if you're gonna end up drawing them!! More practise, and it's fun, because it's something/someone that You are Interested in. Hopefully I'm making sense here!
3. Names. Oh god, baby name websites won't help you. But fantasy generator names can! They are often much better and more exciting. Back to separate cultures ^ — looking for famous people of the culture/race of your OC can sometimes be of assistance, or sometimes unofficial Census sites. Names can also be objects, plants, celestial bodies, Gods, colours, metals/elements, etc. Maybe, with a few letters missing. Chair -> Chaise, Tablet -> Tebley (two I came up with a while ago and didn't really go into)
4. Clothes! I love researching clothes because they're always interesting to analyse, especially if they come from somewhere else around the world. Experiment with colours, what works/doesn't work with your character? Is your character neat, tidy? Show that through their clothes! Primmed and pressed suits and whatnot. Same goes for the opposite. If your character's main trait is that they're agreeable and friendly, show that through their clothes even slightly by making the colours blend, maybe make their favourite colour limited on the outfit as if they're moving it to make way for others. Think about shape, silhouette, etc. Do the clothes fit your character's particular body type? Their habitat? Their scene/time? :)
5. Personality!! This is always great. For a few of my OCs, I rolled them D&D stats with a twenty-sided dice. The five I ALWAYS take into account are: joy — what brings them it, romantic interest — or sometimes lack thereof, sadness — do they often fall into it? Are they easily emotional? Etc, fear — what are they afraid of and why? Etc, and lastly, charisma/charm — how easily are people to follow them, want to be friends with them, fall in love with them, want to listen to them speak?
(5.5) Flaws! Everyone's got em, aside from Mary Sue (who could be Your character. I'm not judging.) There are plenty of posts talking about character flaws. Here's one I saw earlier. It explains it better than I could, and OP leaves another link! Think about how much it grates against their defining 'Good' quality, think about whether you would see them as a good or bad person, and whether their flaws change how other people perceive them.
6. Hobbies aren't an important factor exactly, but it's always nice to plan your Little Guy some downtime. What do they do when it's quiet or when they're lonely? Do they have many friends, or do they keep to themselves? What's their favourite book? Their favourite video game? Their favourite film? And how is that shown through their appearance too? (Such as merchandise, tattoos, piercings.)
7. Things I didn't mention consist of:
— do they have any disabilities (mental or physical)? Were they caused by something (accident to be mysterious about)? Or were they born with them?
— do you expect people to relate to them, like them, hate them, fall in love with them, etc? Both real people who may come across your character, and other people in this characters setting?
— hero or villain material? This isn't a fine line, but it doesn't have to be a blurred line. Redemption arc/story? Tragic hero falling to..? Revenge? Lust? Hunger for power?
— how they fit into the scenery or area around them, where they live and how they interact with people who surround them.
But, finally, do what you want. OCs can be tricky, but as soon as you learn that it is — in the end — You who control both them and You, it becomes a whole lot easier.
Blogs I recommend are @develop-your-oc and @creativepromptsforwriting — they both help a lot. <33
My final tip? Enjoy. And, if you don't, stop! Do what you want, forever. :)
