okay buckle up chuckle fucks here is everything i remember from tonight (absolutely missing some stuff)

- before dan comes on he introduces himself over the speaker stating that he asked phil to do it and phil said no because he didn’t want to be sat behind a curtain for an hour

- dan comes on stage and stands in the big church plinth thing (iconic)

- he tells a story about how he went to a&e the day before yesterday because he had sore eyes. says phil was trying to get him to put eye drops in but he was being very dramatic so whilst on the phone to 111 phil knelt over him lying on the bathroom floor holding his eyes open to put drops in. dan then went to hospital to check it and everything’s fine (lol) he just needed some special eyedrops. phil did not accompany him and dan had to cross a dual carriageway on his own whilst not being able to see well (i doubt he will ever let it go)

- here is a diagram i drew on the way home to depict said event

- it is also giving this

- spoke about the butt chair. union chapel said they did not have any furniture for him to borrow so he had to bring his own - he bought the butt chair from his bedroom and a lil plant to decorate. said phil carried the plant to the car but made dan get the chair in the uber and then said “okay have fun at work sweetie” (this was said jokey but we died nonetheless)

- he then talks about pissyourselffordan trending and how he had to explain to harper collins what the actual fuck was happening on stan twt. apparently they were glad the fans were supportive and he has an engaged audience but they were not going to use the hashtag in the promo. called the whole scenario pissgate and the crowd chanted piss at him

- he was told there was wine and advertised wine before realising alcohol was not allowed in the church. he then got given a sprite and everyone screamed that it was piss

- talked about the book and the previous release, how weird covid was, talked about the photoshoot for the book cover and the graphic design. said he didn’t love the pics because they were super dramatic. someone shouted “it’s cunty” he replies: “oh it’s cunty is it?” then realises he said cunty in a church which was a big lol

- he then read the new chapters, several mentions of phil not being supportive and abandoning him at the hospital (he talked about phil a lot it was very sweet)

- then brought out dan’s slit (box used to put questions in before the show)

- the questions i can remember include but are not limited to:

- what was the weirdest position you wrote the book in: “cheeks out in an armchair curled up over my laptop, you might think your scrolling posture is okay now but when you hit thirty you will all be broken”

- fave comfort show: “the office - is the office a bit millennial? it isn’t as millennial as friends. ross being offended by a manny? that’s where my internalised homophobia is from”

- how has the gaming channel affected your mental health? A: he is finding it a lot more sustainable than before because of help with editing, but will see where it goes

- will he ever judge drag race: he didn’t want to when he was asked because he didn’t want to be exposed to more speculation about his sexuality at the time, same with strictly come dancing

- how do you cope with feeling lonely whilst surrounded by people: talked about how online friends are truly real friends and distance doesn’t have to determine friendship levels. says it is important to notice the friendships even that aren’t close

- i can’t remember the question but he said that phil has to remind him of some of the stuff that is in ywgttn when he struggles “i literally learnt the word catastrophising from your book dan come on”

- another tour? “do you guys want that” *screaming* “what would it be?” *dan and phil games screams* “well 👀👀”

- are we going to get more sister daniel: *everyone loses their minds* “maybe i should have done it for the church but it is far too exposing under the spotlight”

- did you work in the asda in Lower Earley: “what in the baby reindeer? yes i did”

- then went to the insta questions that were too inappropriate for the audiobook including

- piss

- will you wear wigs

- when will you wear wigs

- how long is your big toe “six centimetres - i don’t have a big toe im just a long person”

- pee pee poo poo time

- what were the other names for the book: “you will get through this was a bit cliche, you will get through this night? she is sexy and mysterious. at first we wanted to call it “you are messed up read this to fix your issues” but then realised the book was more serious in tone after it was finished so went with ywgttn instead”

- i genuinely can’t remember most of these i think i dissociated a lil at this point if anyone remembers please add

- then read the author’s note at the end of the paper back, talking about how lockdown impacted him and was a big scary thing and also how incredible it is to see people recommend it, find it useful, have therapists recommend it etc. “it is an honour to have created this”

- took a selfie with everyone

- someone gave him a bouquet of flowers and he said “aww you guys are so gay”

- then said “if you enjoyed seeing me in person… i’ll see you again very soon”

this is everything i remember off the top of my head so people please feel free to add what i have forgotten!!

and here are all the pics i got!!

Alright. I've rewatched the trailer like 20 times by now and i've been processing it.

First things first: anyone that's gonna talk shit about Gordon Cormier is gonna have to go through me first. I've only had Gordon!Aang for a day and a half and if anything happens to him i'll kill everyone here and then myself got it?

Just look at him! This is the exact big eared cute little kid i wanted them to cast for Aang. He looks adorable and honestly his outfit is growing on me.

The glowing arrow looked cool as hell. I like that the light spread through his tattoo almost like veins. I'm still curious on how the full avatar state is gonna look, how they're gonna get the glowing eye effect. Please don't let it look goofy.

Y'know what does look goofy?

Is it better than the m night shyamalan appa? I guess. Does that mean it looks good? Well.... at least momo sort of looks cute instead of some folklore nightmare like in shyamalan's version. But also you can tell in this shot in particular that it's very green screen-y

Then we go over to the bending, the limited shots we have of it. Mainly firebending was shown (a little airbending too but kinda hard to get a stillframe for that one)

Idk how to feel about it. In screenshots it looks alright but the shots while they were moving looked a bit off, especially the one where zuko's kicking. We only got very limited shots and that's intentional. I feel like the bigger cgi fails are gonna show up once we get the full show. If the bending looked good all the time i feel like they'd be showing it off by now.

What i don't like, is how apparently they're gonna SHOW Zuko getting burned. Like sure in atla they didn't bc kids show and Nickelodeon wouldn't allow it, and netflix can take darker turns if they so please. But i personally always felt that scene made so much impact because we didn't see it. Iroh is telling it from his memory and he didn't look when it happened, so we don't see it either. It's like a courtesy the show extends to both Zuko and the audience. We just hear the harrowing scream, and that's enough to know how devastating it is. I don't need a dramatic overlook so we can see the whole thing in detail, netflix.

Another thing is the hair in some scenes.

Daniel dae kim looked better in that promo photo, bc here you can just see how the bulky goatie was glued on. And then Sokka's hair..... where's the ponytail? It's laying completely flat against his head... why? Is it bc that's Ian's hair and they didn't know what to do with it? Literally get a comb and tease that bitch. This is like the complete opposite of Jackson Rathbone's hair in the shyamalan version, and somehow that full maybelline ponytail makes more sense than this sad excuse of a tail. Either way at least Suki looked dope.

Another thing i found weird about the trailer is the narration. I think it's either Iroh's voice or maybe Gyatso's? (I haven't heard Iroh's actor talk yet so idk, but it felt like it was being said TO either Aang or Zuko) but the lines they gave him... it felt like some weird mumbo jumbo tbh. Something something about the past and present being the same and it's up to us to know the difference and be the difference? It's saying everything and nothing at the same time and it felt kind of out of place. They're probably saving the iconic opening narration done by Katara for the full trailer (i hope???) but still they could have just gone with music, or maybe just a few iconic existing lines?

The music? Fire. Nothing needs to be added there. Was i kind of hoping for a different soundtrack? Maybe a bit. But am i mad? Not at all. They clearly took the nostalgia route with the more epic version of the avatar theme, and i can only respect them for that.

So far, very mixed reviews for me. I'm morbidly curious and very nosy by nature though, so i'm absolutely watching.

your personal top (10?) manga? :))

Hello!!!

I am going to preface this with the fact that I only got into anime around 2014/2015 (Fullmetal Alchemist + Brotherhood) and then read the manga around 2016.

I only started avidly reading around 2019 with digital copies of JoJo and fell into loving manga from there and genuinely becoming a reader/keeping up with new releases and starting to learn Japanese (basic hiragana, etc) in 2021.

My other qualifications for these picks are that I am an irl artist (illustration and stained glass), taught an art history course for 1 year, and I read/write as much as possible outside of work.

I will also say that I may not have finished reading all these series yet, but they are the ones near and dear to my art-loving heart.

Also sorry it’s a few more than 10 *sweats*

Fullmetal Alchemist — Hiromu Arakawa

My very first manga.

Knowing that Arakawa taught herself art while still working on her parents’ farm and used her nights/time off to write it made me so in awe of her drive and skills. The ways the story deals with humanity, war, power, and love make it a timeless classic.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure — Hirohiko Araki

It’s bonkers. It’s off the wall. It’s been going since the 80’s and Araki is still working. There’s so much to love. There’s so much to hate. But no matter how you feel about JJBA, it’s undeniably a masterpiece.

Araki’s dedication to the art is one of the biggest draws, with his fashion and art history references and use of bright colors. You can feel his love for the medium shine through his full color pieces!

My personal favorite parts are Phantom Blood, Diamond Is Unbreakable, Stone Ocean, and Jojolion (ikik all the “boring” parts, but I think that’s where the characters are most interesting)

Jujutsu Kaisen -- Gege Akutami

My next big read after JoJo. After watching season 1 of the anime, I knew I needed more. The way that Gege uses the classic shonen tropes combined with explorations of life and death is very strong storytelling.

We learn from the start about curses, cursed energy, we witness a major death in the protagonist’s life and he’s given a goal:

“You’re a strong kid, so help others. Even if it’s only those closest to you, just save the people you can. It’s okay if you lose your way, and don’t worry about whether they’ll thank you or not. Just save as many people as you can, even if it’s only one.”

The series often shows us what it means to save even one and the self sacrifice that comes from protecting others, even if it’s painful or difficult. Throw iconic characters into the mix and you have the basis for an already notable classic shonen manga.

Spy x Family — Tatsuya Endo

Found family slice of life with a big dose of action and fluff?? Literally the perfect comfort manga. I saw enough promos on tumblr that I finally caved and started it in 2020 and I LOVED it.

More people are familiar now bc of the anime’s popularity, but I definitely recommend reading it as well! The art is consistently high quality, the face expressions are hilarious, and the main concept of fighting for peace is re-stated throughout the storyline.

Loid took on this mission and his spy position to bring peace. He never wants to see the horrors of war again. He never wants to see another child cry. The family may be “fake” but the feelings are real.

Witch Hat Atelier — Kamome Shirahama

I cannot stop giving high praises for this series!!!! It’s like if you mixed Ghibli’s nature and art with Narnia or LOTR’s fantasy vibes. The magic system is based on drawing and it’s such a treat for artists to read.

Shirahama also uses a lot of traditional art references for her work, like rococo, art nouveau, classic illustration, etc. She’s won awards for the series and every one is deserved.

Also the two main witches, Qifrey and Olruggio, are definitely in love and take the best care of their witch students (cough daughters) in the atelier. Qifrey is like if you mixed Howl Pendragon with Gojo Satoru. Olruggio is the traditional tsundere with a heart of gold.

The series also talks a lot about disability and how we can improve others’ lives to make them more comfortable and accessible! It’s a very unique world and story that draws you in and makes you feel at home.

Chainsaw Man — Tatsuki Fujimoto

Yes, the series everyone is currently talking about. And I’m not going to call it peak or goat, but I think the concept is very strong and well-executed.

Fujimoto pulls you in from the intro (esp Pochita, how can you not love a cute little chainsaw dog!?), he makes you care about the characters, and slowly rips your heart out chapter by chapter. It’s won awards for good reason.

Not everyone is morally black and white. There’s giant battles and dynamic art. The main character just wants to touch some boobs. The other main guy is basically a househusband after work hours. Add in a pretty girl blood devil who doesn’t like vegetables. An Angel Devil who can kill someone through a touch and loves ice cream. A sopping wet kitten of a girl who works at her family’s burger place and hunts devils on the side. etc etc.

The characters are one of the strongest aspects of Chainsaw Man and their dynamics with each other. Hate, love, control, fear… The series talks about our basest desires and anxieties and explores them in a fictional playing field with all the flare you expect from a Shonen Jump title.

Toilet Bound Hanako Kun - AidaIro

THE ART STYLE THE ART STYLE THE ART STLYE. This series is done by a two person team (AidaIro - one for art, one for writing) and I appreciate that each brings their strength to this manga.

The coloring and art are so dreamy and whimsical, while still using strong jewel tone colors (instead of only pastels or earth colors as you might expect in a western fantasy series).

The work uses the “seven school wonders” as its base and Nene Yashiro as the protagonist who just wanted to get a date with her crush and called on Hanako’s help. Through her impulsivity, she ends up under a mermaid’s curse and makes a pact with Hakano to make it more bearable, getting pulled into the carryings-on of spirits around the school.

The art/story combo is engaging, dynamic, and emotional. There’s a lot of hilarious face expressions in this manga as well and little visual gags/jokes that make it fun to read. The series started in 2014 and is still ongoing!

The Way of the Househusband — Kosuke Oono

a former yakuza member marries a designer and becomes a stay at home househusband. Hijinks ensue. Add in his former gang friend Masa and their cat Gin and you have a recipe for domestic comedy.

I’ve genuinely laughed out loud so many times reading this manga. The chapters are pretty short and are good when you need a little break to not stare at a screen. It’s another good comfort manga when you need something low intensity.

Dorohedoro -- Q Hayashida

I have to admit I found this one because of the anime MAPPA did, but I immediately explored the manga and mud and sludge art book. Q Hayashida trained in fine arts before becoming a mangaka and it shows through the quality of her work.

From the heavily detailed manga panels, to the mixed media covers, and bonus comics done in color, the world is rendered in a blend of gritty realism and surreal fantasy.

Dorohedoro is one of the most unique pieces of worldbuilding I’ve encountered, with the smoke magic system, use of doors for traveling between Hole and the sorcerers world, as well as including devils in the lore.

Again, characters are a big draw of the series, but the art is just mind blowing to me as an artist, knowing the level of craft she put into them. I still flip through the artbook for inspiration when I’m feeling drained.

I haven’t finished all of the manga, but I’m slowly collecting the volumes (some are out of print). But I believe all the pdfs are up on archive.org (also please keep in mind there is an Adult Only/18+ content warning on this manga as there is gore and some nudity)

Blue Period — Tsubasa Yamaguchi

I started collecting this when they released volume 1 and just kept collecting. If you’re an artist at all or appreciate art, this is a series for you. It describes the struggles of finding your voice as an artist so deeply and you will feel understood and seen.

There are quite a few characters in the series, so I suggest looking at the wiki for this one to keep everyone straight. I also recommend watching the anime, as the colors and voices help distinguish the characters further.

The art history references in the chapter art makes this a scavenger hunt for art nerds and the messages of self searching, acceptance, and discovery are something anyone can relate to. (edit: I looked up the series more and it's another woman author!! :D )

The Case Study of Vanitas — Jun Mochizuki

Another I started collecting because of the anime, but it’s SO so beautiful (Arakawa sensei even gave a recommendation inside the front cover of volume 1!)

Also!!! Another woman author!! I’m so happy to give lots of women author recs. If you like gothic romantic vampire dramas set in alt history steampunk Paris with a dash of horror, then this is for you.

Bisexual vibes from literally all of the main 4 (Noe, Vanitas, Dominique, Jeanne). Some moments of sensuality, but it never goes into overtly sexual, making it more accessible for teen readers.

Her watercolors are instantly recognizable and stunningly gorgeous. Noe’s delight in the world is balanced by Vanitas’ grumpier realism. Also, the concept of a vampire that can read memories through blood blew my mind. Definitely recommend.

Special mentions:

Yotsuba&! (a classic first manga for kids. Heartwarming. Funny. Adorable)

Skull Face Bookseller Honda-san (also a good anime. Only 4 volumes. All the crazy things that happen in a bookstore/publishing. Funny and a great autobiography by the author Honda)

Kaiju No. 8 (an up and coming Shonen Jump that’s already slated for an anime!!!! Kaiju battle action + a 32 year old protag that had an accident while working and can now turn into a Kaiju >:D Monster lovers rejoice)

I also have a few singles of older shojo manga that I’m getting into recently like Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Kitchen Princess, Host Club!

🎸FAQ / PROMO 🌟

"Yeah, my name's Adam. You might know me from the world's most-read book: The Bible. Yeah, I'm THAT Adam. World's first rockstar, bitch."

"Recently, some things have surfaced about my status as Leader of the Exorcists, and I prefer to keep that on the D.L. No one needs to know anything they don't need to know, aight?"

"And don't bring up Lucifer. Fucker already ruined my life enough, and I've curated my online experiences to avoid mentions of him."

(OOC Under the cut!)

Please do mention Lucifer and the Exterminations, riled-up Adam is the best Adam.

Hey, this is @thegilettemindrazer's side blog for RPing as Adam from Hazbin Hotel.

As stated in the blog description, there will be mature and explicit content on this blog, and I will be very liberal with the block button if I suspect something is up.

I tend to roleplay in a paragraph format, and expect roleplay partners to put the effort in to create an engaging narrative. I don't expect lengths to match, but proper grammar and punctuation would be very much appreciated.

Asks are always open, and I'll do my best to answer each and every one! I will be much more lenient with asks, since those will be seen as online messages in this blog's canon.

OOC posts will be tagged as #OOC !

Asks will be tagged #answered ! (And, if applicable, the asker's username)

Starters will be tagged as #adam talks !

Clean maskless Adam icons and promo banner by @likeamothtofame !

Ola take thus with some salt and you're not gonna believe this BUT but I was looking through r/public domain While going through r/publicdomain Reddit I found out that Mad Doctor (1933) is already Public as are some Colored Mickey Mouse Posters from so TECHNICALLY we COULD, give Mickey Color AND MAYBE EHEHEHHEHEHE >:3c

ALSO he has some Colored posters from 1928 as proven by https://www.tumblr.com/jonathanlennox/738291760434921472/according-to-the-auction-house-that-sold-it-this that COULD be useful hdhhshshs

Thats common knowledge and I touch on that in my "diagram". The poster for steamboat willie and all the promo images from 1928 show what colors hes supposed to be. You can make products with him in color.

He doesnt need the boat hat either. Mickey doesnt wear it past the first like 10 seconds of the short.

But fanart isnt even the thing thats changing. You can always make fanart of anything you want and almost nobody will stop you.

Public domain means that thing becomes not a subject, but a stock medium you can play with now.

All art of 1928 and earlier era mickey is free to reuse on ANYTHING for free forever.

You can post the entirety if the steamboat willie short anywhere you want without fear of a takedown. That to me is huge.

You can take screen grabs of the short and plaster a hoodie with those pictures and sell it to people and thats totally 100% cool.

And oh my god, the MUSIC! That iconic music!.You can sample the music and make your own remix and then sell that on bandcamp. You can slow it down and use it for the background of a rubber hose animation inspired indie horror game whether its mickey related or not.

Theres a ton of possibilities that go beyond just making steamboat willie fanart, a thing we were always allowed to do, and i cant wait to see what people make.

Treat these old shorts like stock for collage and royalty free music. Mickey is a kind of paint now.

Anyway here. Have some posters.

and heres a full list of cartoons that are public domain if you want more stock and music to play around with.

Speculating About Ric Flair

Now I doubt that Ric Flair or his people will find this write up but I'm gonna be using the word allegedly a lot because I will be speculating about what Ric Flair is really doing in AEW.

On October 25th, 2023 Ric Flair would be revealed as Tony Khan's gift to Sting as a part of Sting Retirement Story. Sting and Flair are one of the most iconic rivalries in Wrestling History, the two even wrestled on the very last Nitro. This should have been met with rejoicing, right? No. Many online fans voiced their displeasure with the signing of Flair citing the sexual assault that occurred on the infamous plane ride from hell. This incident became much more well known due to the Darkside of the Ring series covering the whole ordeal. There's also Teddy Long going on the record stating that Flair had said heinous slurs to him and has yet to apologize

What's even worse in my opinion is Tony Khan dunking on Vince McMahon's alleged history of sexual misconduct, and yet still bringing in Flair anyways. It makes it apparent that Tony does not care about the victims, and was scoring a cheap dig against his competitor.

Another layer to this, is the promotion of Flair's brand of energy drink. I will not be mentioning its name nor its image since that would be indirectly promoting it as well. Each week now, there's a portion of the entrance stage dedicated to promoting the drink. The commentary desk has three cans of different flavors on display. It feels so bleak and dare I say carny. This is a major strike against Tony Khan's credibility about a promoter.

On the November 29th episode of Dynamite, Ric Flair would cut a promo backstage. The promo went on and on, you just can't help but to feel some iota of sadness watching this shell of a man trying to recapture faded glory. Watch for yourself if you wish, just be warned it's bleak.

youtube

The reaction was brutal. So much so that now Flair is threatening to leave. Fellow veterans like Chris Jericho (who punched a female fan in 2008) and Stone Cold Steve Austin (who beat Debra, something he pleaded no contest to) voiced their support. Something something birds of a feather.

On Jericho's end, this is insane. He narrated each episode of Darkside of the Ring. He read out loud what Flair did. This makes him incredibly scummy, but I digress. Back to Flair

Flair has also stated that younger talents have not approached him for advice. This is adding to the criticism of the AEW lockerroom being full of young guys who do not take older veterans' advice, but Taz has dispelled that.

If anything, this tells us that no one wishes to interact with Flair. Why should they? They know about his history and how he seems to not have atone for it. Why is this man getting a paycheck in a company that is trying its hardest to remove toxicity from the lockerroom? I do not blame those avoiding him like the plague.

So this seems like a misreading of the room by Tony Khan, and a huge waste of time for Ric right? But what if this was the goal?

In 2009 Ric Flair was brought into ROH as an authority figure. Flair had just finished his retirement run in the WWE and was moving on. However, Flair would No-Show after being paid

Flair was paid 35K for the position and was going to get 10K per appearance. He took the money and left. ROH then responded by announcing a lawsuit.

Recently Ric Flair was on an episode of Kill Tony, a comedy show where a panel of veteran comedians and celebrities would judge one minute sets by amateurs. His appearance was odd. He was slurring his words and would not engage with the show. He would ramble on about donating time and he then went on to leave in the middle of the show. It was bizarre, could it have been he was not anticipating how mean the show is to participants. Or did he figure he got paid anyway and just dip? Now I am merely speculating, I am not sure if Tony paid him or this was a favor. I can imagine anything with Flair requires payments but again I'm just speculating.

youtube

Now this brings us to Flair in AEW. Is Flair looking for an exit after getting some money out of Tony Khan, who happily gave it to him? This is what I believe is Flair's current move. He has a history of not fulfilling his commitments, and he may just be doing it again, allegedly, parody, in minecraft. Satire.

If Flair does leave I hope that this is a lesson to Tony never meet your heroes, they may try to rip you off (Allegeldy!!!!)

independent & selective roleplay blog for kugisaki nobara from jujutsu kaisen written by val (she/her, 25).

rules are also below for ease since i am pinning this post.

SECTION 1. Writing.

I want to write with everyone! Although I prefer multi-para replies, I enjoy having a variety of threads from one-liners and icons to brief responses and long-form text. I am flexible and reciprocate the energy given to me by my writing partner. I enjoy both serious threads and crack. I only ask that you don’t godmod or dictate how my character acts/feels.

Ask memes are always a good way to break the ice, but I am also open to plotting. That can be done via Tumblr IMs or Discord. Your preference, really. Response speed may vary depending on multiple factors, but please note I don’t intend to ghost anyone. I am an adult with a demanding full-time job and a part-time job so it can be a bit hectic on my end.

In terms of response speed, I may favor my mains or people I’ve interacted with OOC first, as well as plotted threads. These are usually easier for me since I have an idea of how to approach the writing.

SECTION 2. Selectivity.

Although I say I am semi-selective, I tend to follow back most blogs. That said, there are exceptions. For example, one case I might not follow back is if I observe poor dash hygiene. I don’t really want a super clogged dashboard so I tend not to follow people who have a greater ratio of OOC posts compared to IC. Other things I like are cut posts and new threads for asks. The last two are not dealbreakers, though, but I consider this good dash hygiene.

I am crossover-friendly and OC-friendly. However, I likely won’t follow back unless you have a JJK-specific verse or some sort of bio for your muse. I dislike having to fish for information. I am a bit more hesitant to follow back in these cases, but I can overlook that if I see potential for interaction.

SECTION 3. IC Dynamics.

I enjoy exploring different dynamics with different characters. Shipping can be romantic, friendly, filial, etc. I love writing with various muses.

That said, I am highly selective about romantic shipping. It will be done on a case-by-case basis. I will only really write shippy content if there is chemistry between the muses (our portrayals) and prior conversations between us OOC discussing the dynamic. All interactions with muses within my muse’s age range are platonic unless stated otherwise. I will never off-the-bat assume there is romance involved between muses unless we have explicitly had a conversation about it. Although I am 25, there will be absolutely no smut.

In a similar vein, what is said in a thread with another person’s muse does not apply to the canon of our threads unless you have made your muses’ canon clear (i.e. your rules/about cite this connection, you have stated something OOC, etc). If I follow you, assume I have read your rules and bio.

SECTION 4. OOC Conduct.

All I ask for is kindness and understanding. Always assume the best intentions from others and never yuck anyone’s yum. I work a stressful job and I am here for entertainment. Please don’t bring negativity and other exhausting energy into this space. If there is ever a time I do something that bothers you, please bring it to my attention directly. Also, bear in mind that I am not my character and would prefer to keep a clear distinction between what is IC and what is OOC.

This should go without saying, but if you reuse a plot we crafted together or copy anything I, or anyone else, has done, you may get blocked if it is brought to my attention. It really depends on the severity, or if it is a repeat offense.

SECTION 5. DNI/Vague Posts.

Don’t come here with bullshit. Don’t follow me if you do a lot of vague posting. If I see it enough times, I will block. We are adults. If you want to say something without the repercussions of saying it, then do it in private or keep it to yourself. If it is that serious, then go talk to that person directly. Communicate like a mature adult.

If there is someone I interact with who is actually problematic or has actually engaged in problematic behavior, dm me in private.

pretty gross that you charge for layouts using images that aren't yours

PLEASE BE SO SERIOUS LMAO are you just messaging like, all the creators on tungle... chronically online behavior.

my carrd layouts don't come with images. it's stated very clearly in all the descriptions.

as for promos and icon borders and literally whatever graphic template i sell, i use assets i purchased from etsy, kofi, any other site that sells little pngs etc. i specifically purchase assets that come with licenses that allow me to profit from them, and if the licenses aren't inherently included, i will purchase licenses from those creators.

please have some common sense before you come into my inbox or the inbox of anyone else making baseless accusations. if you have this much free time to go around the rpc sending people these anons, surely you've got the time to go do some research of your own and not be stupid on purpose.

thanks!

Hey Tumblr, Queer Found Family Space Opera Book? *LIMITED TIME - FREE, GAY BOOK*

Oct 26th - *Edit to edit* I reopened the giveaway. 7/20 copies are claimed, so you have another shot at grabbing The Meaning Wars (book 3, see below) FOR FREE! Oct 25th - *Edit* The giveaway period for the promo has ended! However, the omnibus - including books 1-5, the complete story - is available on Amazon on Nov 10th. If you're short on funds, message me, because I'm also in need of reviews for that!

The omnibus

Check out the gorgeous cover.

advised.

And if you're more of a binge reader, you might be into the omnibus, which will be out November 10th.

Amazon.com: The Meaning Wars Complete Omnibus: A Queer Space Opera eBook : Browne, Michelle , Kyselova, Kateryna: Kindle Store

Two best friends looking for love.

An oppressive interstellar government.

Adulthood has never been so stressful...

For the first time, all five books in The Meaning Wars are united as a complete collection. In this queer space opera featuring a diverse cast, a found family navigates the politics of revolution and freedom.

Join Crystal, a wormhole engineer, and Sarah, an English Literature graduate with a chip on her shoulder, as they try to find romance and friendship - while an oppressive interstellar government watches their every move.

As Crystal deals with her faltering marriage, Sarah makes risky career decisions - by doing what's morally right. Running from the surveillance state of the Human Conglomerate, will the Interfederation's multi-species alliance prove their salvation? A crew of old friends and a union of renegade space pirates may be their way out. But first, they have to save rebel icon Patience Ngouabi from arrest and certain torture - and make sure they all get out alive.

Fans of Ruthanna Emrys' A Half-Built Garden and Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series will love the cosy yet intense adventures of this crew of misfits fighting for political and social justice.

So yeah, please take a look at it. It's full of gay, diverse characters, there's disability and mental health rep, and the protagonists are in their thirties, rather than being fresh-faced teenagers. (There's nothing wrong with fresh-faced teen protagonists, but it's nice to read about life after age 25 sometimes.)

*Original post*

So like most indie authors, I'm in dire need of reviews - and I'm also trying to get some eyeballs before I release the omnibus edition of my soon-to-be-finished series.

It's a queer, found family space opera about politics and trying to do the right thing while falling in love (and dodging a massive, oppressive interstellar government).

It's basically tailor-made for you, Tumblr. Because I love you.

The best jumping-on point is actually book 3, and that's the freebie!

Grab it here: https://claims.prolificworks.com/free/LkNADD9I

Worlds collide and peace shatters in Book 3 of The Meaning Wars…

On the way to a new wormhole-building gig, Crystal and her husband Jai fight over the future of their family. But the safe haven of their base is paradise compared to Pluto. Recovering from her imprisonment, Sarah and her cousin Toby try to scrape their lives back together and stay out of trouble on the icy planetoid. Rebel leader Patience Ngouabi's actions have triggered a growing insurrection on the colony planet of Indus, and the shock waves have reached even the Solar system's worlds. Both Crystal and Sarah will have to decide between uneasy peace and constant danger - if they get to choose at all.

Content advisory: this book contains references to abuse, sexual scenes, torture, and mental health issues. Reader discretion is advised.

And if you're more of a binge reader, you might be into the omnibus, which will be out November 10th.

Two best friends looking for love.

An oppressive interstellar government.

Adulthood has never been so stressful...

Fans of Ruthanna Emrys' A Half-Built Garden and Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series will love the cosy yet intense adventures of this crew of misfits fighting for political and social justice.

Enjoy, please share/reblog, and let me know if you grab a copy/copies!

Edit: it is free on kindle until Oct 25th!

self-ship promo!

hey all! i don't think i've actually done one of these before so! it's a new year, i'll branch out. :) i'd love to make more friends in the self ship community

about me:

i'm bay (age 27, nonbinary, bi, they/them pronouns)

as the username states, i'm big on linguistics and languages!

studied japanese in college and am fluent, i lived in japan for a few years, often go back and forth for work-related things.

i love cats, video games, writing, and fiber arts.

i usually have an exotic shorthair cat as my icon bc honestly i feel like i strongly resemble them

about my shipping:

i've been self-shipping/doing canon x oc my entire life and don't plan to stop

main f/os and fandoms are in my pinned

usually i don't use self-inserts but OCs in my pairings--OCs which sometimes share certain similarities with myself or do things i think are interesting!

i'm not terribly active with making content but i do make it in the form of fics, usually--but i've been known to write music and write poetry

i do have an ao3 but there's nothing self-ship related on it. if you want to read some self-ship fics that i'm proud of, they're here.

main fandom right now is vampire: the masquerade (also BG3) but i've been in several over the years, including The Magnus Archives

I don't have a DNI necessarily, due to the fact that i feel that it won't really stop anyone from accessing my content. however I liberally will block people who I don't want to hear from or whose content squicks me out. i also block those that share my two main f/os, not out of any ill will, but i just don't want to see it.

as stated, most F/O's i'm alright with sharing except for my two main ones. (jasper and isaac). please note that i will not share jasper whatsoever.

i'm a member and co-creator of a few self-ship servers i run with my friends, one of them is VTM, so if you are a VTM self-shipper please let me know if you want to join.

❰ #BOPPINBABE ❱ —— An independent, non-selective GIRLFRIEND from FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN', written with love by BEE. At this point in time, blog is dash only, uses minimal but neat formatting and 90x90 cartoon icons exclusively. Crossover, duplicate, multiverse and original character friendly. Uses the Beta Editor and XKit Rewritten to trim posts. 18+ only, but not strictly NSFW. Multi-ship, ships with Boyfriend or chemistry. All ships exist in alternate universes unless stated otherwise to avoid conflict. Established in November of 2023. Please do not reblog.

MINORS AND PERSONAL BLOGS, DO NOT INTERACT. As stated above, this blog is an 18+ space. The admin is an adult and not comfortable roleplaying with minors. Please respect that.

Personal blogs, I don't mind if you follow me, but please do not interact with my posts or attempt to start a roleplay with me. You may ask Girlfriend questions if you wish, but I will not roleplay with you. Any attempts to start a roleplay with me may result in a block.

DO NOT INTERACT if you are prone to starting drama or are any shade of bigoted. I'm too old to deal with petty bullshit. I'm just here to roleplay.

If you do not wish to interact with me or have me follow you, you're welcome to soft or hard block me so I know you're not interested. It won't hurt my feelings and you don't have to explain yourself. It's preferred on my end, actually.

While I am a fan of the game and (obviously) roleplay as Girlfriend, I do not condone any gross or unsavory behavior from the creators/devs. I separate the art from the artist. If this is a problem for you, you're more than welcome to block me, but I am very attached to the series, it's one of the only things that actively brings me joy, so for the sake of my mental health, I do not interact with the fandom or support the bad apples within it. I understand completely if the series and characters makes you uncomfortable. You are well within your right to block me for your own comfort if you choose to do so.

If I like your promo but don't follow, I am likely tentative to do so first because I get anxiety following first sometimes. Liking your promo is my way of saying I'm interested in roleplaying with you without the anxiety of following first. Sometimes I'm able to break through this anxiety, but not often. Regardless, if I like anything of yours, I'm likely interested in interacting!

CONTENT WARNING: Canon typical dark themes will be present on this blog. These themes include, but are not limited to alcohol, blood, cursing, drug usage, gore, mental illness, objectification, religious themes, sexual themes, underage drinking, underage drug usage, violence, etc. I will tag major triggers, but if there is something specific you need me to tag, or if I forget to tag a post, please let me know. Triggers will be tagged in the following formats: tw [trigger], [trigger] tw, cw [trigger] and [trigger] cw.

My portrayal will be a healthy mixture of canon and headcanon. I take heavy inspiration from the fandom's portrayal of Girlfriend whilst also staying faithful to what little we know about her, whilst also putting my own spin on her. Basically, you can expect some canon divergence, especially in the future when the full ass game comes out.

Mun goes by Bee, is 24 years old, uses any pronouns and lives in the EST time zone. There's not much to know about me. I'm a simple Boyfriend/Girlfriend kinnie who enjoys roleplaying, voice acting and writing. I will share my Discord with mutuals if prompted to. I promise I am much warmer when I'm not writing an intro to my blog.

Please read my Carrd before interacting. If you've read this far, consider giving this post a like to let me know. Here are my tags. Also, consider filling out my interest checker and liking my interaction post to let me know you're cool with me interacting with you. Finally, click here to see art credit for all of the icons I use. Thank you! I appreciate you! ヾ(˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶)
