So in my life I've never really had a good example of what a relationship should be. Any fights between my parents was rough and always terrified me as a child. Ive never seen good conflict resolution in a couple at all. I really could use some of the ineffable spouses healthily fighting and talking through things. Especially right now.
You will want to check our #communication and #arguing tags for fics along these lines. And here I've got some post-series two fics in which Aziraphale and Crowley actually talk to each other...
Unexpected Arrivals by sadisticallysmirking (T)
An injured Aziraphale arrives at the bookshop, and Crowley is the only one who can help him. Slowly, and with some unexpected bumps in the road, they work to finally become a group of the two of them.
Love Of My Life (you've hurt me) by misslmf (T)
“I suppose you want me to do the little dance?” Aziraphale tried for a joke, laughing a little. Crowley looked up slowly and the tiny smile that had been on Aziraphale’s face died in an instant. “Look I know I have a lot of apologies and explanations to give, please if you could just listen to them?”
“Listen to them?” Crowley said, standing to face Aziraphale. “Hm, sorry, what’s that lovely human expression again… hold that thought?”
***
Or, Aziraphale returns to the bookshop one morning when Crowley is there, and they finally get to talk things out
Bittersweet Horizons by Soldierarcs (NR)
“You're doing it again,” Crowley bit out, his voice lowered to an exasperated growl. He didn't move, yet his whole body wanted to escape. “How can you— I can't,” he repeated, trying to ignore the hitch in his words. He tightly pressed his lips together, attempting to regain his composure. “Oh, I don't even know why I'm surprised. You've always been slow on certain things.”
Aziraphale looked at him, outraged. “I don't think this is an appropriate time for insults-”
“I'm not insulting,” Crowley said.
Aziraphale raised an eyebrow, skepticism clear in his expression.
“I'm not doing it!” Crowley repeated vehemently. Then he looked away and muttered, “Oh, for the love of-” and sank both hands on the armrests.
(or Aziraphale and Crowley talk. Set after the end of season 2).
on one wounded wing by shoebox_addict (T)
“I'm done with Heaven,” said Aziraphale, with conviction. He’d had a long time to think this through, he knew where he stood now. “I'm on our side.”
“You've said that before.”
New Beginnings by LondonSpirit (G)
After Aziraphale left for Heaven, Crowley gets some advice from an unexpected party which makes him rethink things.
When he returns to the bookshop, things escalate.
Can he and Aziraphale get their shit together and actually listen to one another to resolve their issues?
What Does It Mean To Be Good? by Thesefallenstars (M)
In which Aziraphale loves Crowley, and Crowley loves Aziraphale. Unfortunately they’re both idiots so it takes them a little time to figure that out.
A getting back together fic set after series 2.

answering ASKSSSSS
featuring: headcanons, mspaint yonny, and more
check it out! ↓↓
UHH the timeline is already hard enough to follow for 4 it's a little messy... I imagine for the pom wraith AU, it's mostly the events of pikmin 4 with some extra bits tacked onto it (like Olimar encountering the plasm at some point on his lonesome).
WAHHH THANK YOU... heres some secret mod lore, yonny is the HARDEST motherfucker to draw for me. he was ever since i started drawing the rescue corps and he still is!!!!!!!!!!!! his stupid face is so HARD GRRUUAUUGGHH
THANK YOU!!! i have a few bernard drawings/doodles in the pipeline to post eventually
(ive done a few ask masterposts at this point so forgive me if i already answered this one) AHHHHH i mean pom DOES really like Olimar. he challenges her skills out on the field when she's trying to track him down as a leafling which she finds engaging, and she finds him quite charming from the logs she reads. after he's cured, he's nothing but kind and supportive.
i don't think she'd try to take off with him like the plasm, but she'd feel protective over him if something were to threaten him
WAUUGGHH THANK YOU!!!! putting my favorite fictional characters into an enclosure and watching them
THANK YOU!!! you get it, he's so wet and pathetic
YEAH i have more bernard incoming!!! he's so genuinely supportive and it kinda freaks pom out because she can't tell if he has ulterior motivations or not (he doesn't. he's just a really cool dude. they'll become besties💖)
i'll perform the summoning ritual for you anon
there he is. what a jolly fellow
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION... i had to consult with my friends for a lengthy food discussion (big hearts to @cosmicocoffee who helped me with like literally all of them)
for Pom, she's a wraith, so she just likes interesting and strong tastes. she's very partial to sweet things, and she LOVES chocolate (because that's one of the first sweets she ever tasted). although, she also like really spicy things because it's a neat feeling. as for least favorite, uh... i mean, the girl will literally eat soap for fun. it's very rare for her to have a food item she despises. they DO exist though, she fucking hates raisins
Dingo likes MANLY food, like MEAT and RIBS. well, he mostly likes being seen eating it. he does have a fondness for sweet things and smoothies. the town he grew up in could get pretty cold, so he grew up eating quite a lot of hot meals like caldo de res (he's especially fond of soups made the way his mama used to make them). he also picks up a fondness for hot tea from growing up with yonny, but he always puts extra honey in his cups. dingo HATES some foods though, especially sushi. the last time he tried to impress people by eating sushi, Dingo was hunched over outside the restaurant with Yonny rubbing his back...
shepherd! likes coffee. @soupvnova said she'd go to starbucks (spacebucks?) often to get the pup cup for oatchi which is very good. she has the healthiest diet out of all of them with routine exercise, protein shakes, lots of fruits and shit. she does have a weakness and a bit of a sweet tooth though, especially for cake. it hardly puts a dent in her diet though given her metabolism, she's a very built captain. she's not a fan of steamed vegetables... too squishy for her.
while talking about shepherd it is imperative to share that Oatchi will eat ANYTHING. if something hits the ground it is in his mouth immediately, shepherd has had to wrestle him to get space dog-unsafe food outta there before. although she will also constantly sneak him stuff from the dinner table
collin's fun because he enjoys eating healthy, he's a fan of fresh spring salads and stuff like pineapples and watermelon, but he also has to live off of a lot of processed/vending machine food because the man pulls all nighters frequently. he's also prone to stress eating... you can find him demolishing a watermelon and he's just. covered with seeds. he likes crunchy foods and seeds-- he's very hamstercore. he comes to Despise instant noodles because of how often he has to rely on them for food in the dead of night
fucking uhhh yonny, he likes foods that pair well with reading, he has pretty "mature" tastes and enjoys tea, maybe a glass of wine if he's feeling it. he often gets tunnel vision with his work and will neglect to eat, and as their doctor he'll have to set reminders on his phone to go have a meal so he doesn't fall ill. i can imagine he's not too into sugary things...
we already know bernard has some very expensive tastes, but he might just struggle with some textures or tastes in food. like, he enjoys pizza, this man is just a very picky eater... i can see him having tastes all over the board though. also he's protective over his stuff, he cared more about dingo eating his pizza than abandoning him
russ. uh... russ. yeah
olimar and louie are not part of the rescue corps, but i could see olimar joining (and louie following) sometime after the events of 4! he'd get a much better benefits package... he'd be good at providing logistical support for rangers out on the field, although his achy back would probably keep him off the field himself
AHH THANK YOU!! i have written some things but i don't have anything published -- to be honest, i'm not much of a fic writer. most of my writing is mostly just me talking through ideas/stories/cool character moments with friends, which is not a very shareable format unfortunately💔
i will say, talking about ideas with buddies gives me a shit load of ideas/motivation for drawing, and a lot of the stuff i've posted probably had that as an origin
THANK YOU!! and yeah of course that's fine! every artist is a collection of inspirations, and i'm no exception. my style comes from studying what i like in art and media (made by other people). i'm honored you find me as an inspiration💖
AUGH AUGH THANK YOU!!! i appreciate the anatomically correct hearts 💖💖
YEAHH i have designs that i've been meaning to flesh out but i'm lazy... i've been sitting on a dingo and yonny wraith design for like a month now, i should just bite the bullet and post them as-is if i ever want to share them... oh well! it's all for fun, i'm not gonna stress about it looking good
---
thank you for reading this far!! and thank you all for the asks, i will continue to slowly get through them...

Good Morning,
I would like to order to order some headcannons of the main Hazbin casts (Charlie, Angel, Vaggie, Husk) with an S/O whose known through hell as a no nonsense tough-as-nails powerhouse (think Nico Bellic from gta IV) but one day they find an abandoned little imp girl and adopt them as their own. The girl has obviously been through a lot, and in time they slowly develop a good relationship, with the others find out about their caring, kind, fatherly side.
Good morning And of course! I hope you like the headcanons! - Mod Syrup
Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, and Husk finding out their stoic s/o has a fatherly side
Charlie Morningstar
She never knew you had a soft spot, you were one of the toughest people she knew, and you didn't like wasting your time with anything. So when you had come home with a little Imp girl in your arms, she had a lot of questions.
First of which being where you even found the child. She looked very young, and she assumed that maybe the little one just, wandered off, she knew that some parents in hell just weren't that attentive to their children. She even fears that her parents might've been killed, she was an Imp, after all, Imp's weren't exactly treated the best down here...
You reassured her thought you had found the young child wandering the streets alone. You had asked where her parents were, but she refused to talk about it. You would've pushed her for more information, but... you could tell it really bothered her, so you had just caved and decided to adopt her.
Charlie was a bit wary about you, keeping a close eye on you two. She was so afraid that you might act harshly against the Imp girl if she did something wrong. But so far, you seemed to be a decent parent, a little rough, but she could tell you genuinely liked spending time with the child.
Then, that faithful day came, your new daughter had been playing to recklessly and accidentally broke a vase in the house, some that both she and Charlie assumed you'd get mad over... except, you didn't.
You didn't even yell at her when you saw her standing over the broken vase, crying as she tried to carefully clean up the pieces without hurting herself. Carefully, you kneeled down and shooed her hands away from the sharp glass, carefully looking at them for a moment to make sure she wasn't hurt...
Charlie watched the whole ordeal from the end up the hall, watching as you comforted your new daughter, before helping her pick up the glass and clean up any cuts she might've gotten. It was the sweetest thing she had ever seen out of you. She had only ever known you as the cold, no-nonsense demon who took no shit, someone who would've killed over something as simple as a mistake.
It was oddly nice, seeing this side of you for once.
Vaggie
"WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A CHILD WITH YOU?!" "Found it" "WHERE?!" "Outside"
Needless to say, Vaggie has just as many questions as Charlie, if not more. Where did you find this kid? Where were her parents? What happened to her parents? How did you manage to just, stumble across a completely unsupervised imp child within the city?
You seemed to just role your eyes at her panic and questions. What the hell were you supposed to do? Just leave the child there, that'd just be irresponsible. Just cause you were tough as nails doesn't mean you didn't know what responsibility was.
Eventually, Vaggie gave up on asking questions, and just started doing research, wanting to at least help with raising the child. But you were insistent that you knew what you were doing. And to her surprise, you actually did.
Most would actually consider you a near-perfect parent. Which is a surprise, most people would've seen an abandoned imp child and not even give the thing a chance. You on the other hand are trying your hardest to make sure this kid grows up well. Vaggie was awfully proud of you.
That is until you came home looking like you had just gotten into a fight. Which you actually had gotten into a fight! Why? Well, it's simple, someone made one single derogatory comment about your daughter, and you fucking lost it.
When she asked why you acted so drastically you simply stated that you had to make sure your kid knew how wrong those people were about her. Besides, it's not like anybody really gives a shit anyways.
Vaggie wasn't sure if she was a bit scared, or more proud of you than before. Either way, you and your daughter seemed happy, so she decided to be your impulse control at most.
Angel Dust
Angel didn't even question where you had got the kid. Don't get me wrong, he definitely wanted to know where you found a random, abandoned imp girl, but at the same time, this was hell, it probably wasn't that hard to find children just wandering the streets.
He did ask if you were gonna help find the girls parents or if you had actually adopted her. Upon telling him that you were adopting the child, he was a mix between excited and confused. You were the toughest person in hell, Angel had to literally work his ass off to rope you into a relationship, so the fact that you saw an abandoned child on the street and decided to adopt her without question... it made Angel a little jealous.
Angel was more than happy helping you take care of the kid. Yeah he wasn't the best at it, but he was fun, and in his eyes, that was all that counted. In fact, he might've grown even more attached to the little girl than you did.
He knew how much you cared about the little girl and wanted to make her happy. But he never expected a day in his life that he'd walk in on the girl having a little tea party with you and Fat Nuggets. You had even let her put make up on you. You still had your stoic, tough-as-nails expression, which almost made the whole thing even cuter and maybe a little bit funny.
"Hello Angel, care to join us?" You didn't even have any emotion in your voice. It was like you were only doing this out of obligation. Though of course, Angel just had to join, he couldn't help it, he just thought it was so sweet that you were playing along with your new daughter's antics. Plus, Fat Nuggets looks so cute in a tiara.
Afterward, Angel helps you clean the makeup off your face and put your daughter to bed. You tell him that if he tells anyone it'll be over for you two. Of course, Angel tells literally everyone he can, how could he not? It was adorable, and he knows you won't just up and leave him.
Husk
Husk doesn't really care about most of the things you do he knows that if you're doing it, then you can probably handle it yourself. That's why he didn't exactly question or care about the fact that you now had an imp child with you.
He wasn't exactly fond of the child either, yeah he was technically the pseudo-father to the child, seeing as he was dating you and you had adopted the child, but he really didn't see himself as 'parent material'. Still, he did his best to at least put up with the child, especially when you had something important to do that would be too dangerous for her to be around.
He honestly didn't think you'd have that much of a connection with the child either, but you seemed to really care about her. He would've thought it was adorable if he wasn't such a downer.
One day you approached him with the little girl in your arms, and asked him to do a magic trick for her. He was a bit confused, but then you explained that you had told her about how he liked magic, and ever since then she's been begging you to let Husk show her a magic trick or two.
Husk acted as if this was a chore for him, but deep down he was a little bit excited. He loved cheesy magic tricks, and didn't get to do them often, so he was happy that the kid and him shared an interest.
He did a simple magic trick, just the coin behind the ear trick. Immediately after, the girl burst into laughter and clapped her hands. That's the moment when Husk actually started warming up to the kid. So he grabbed a deck of cards, and decided to do another simple magic trick, which she enjoyed just as much.
Husk glanced up at you for a moment, a for the first time since he's met you, he saw you smiling. The tough as nails, emotionless powerhouse, was smiling over the fact that their daughter and boyfriend were enjoying their time together. Of course, you immediately wiped the smile off your face when he noticed.
"What the hell you smiling about?" "I, wasn't smiling..." "Yeah, whatever you say big guy."

Ive seen a lot of people confuse me leaving for “people being mean to writers” or getting hate for the things i write of how i write them but its not
But Im not leaving just bc of the audience, i can handle some hate and honestly it was kinda fun from them bc ik that hate comes from jealousy and trolling
Im leaving because of other writers and my “friends”
Ik i said i would get into it and i really dont want to all that much bcuz im tired and just wanna be done with this but it feels wrong to leave under a false assumption and let people think their actions dont have consequences
Ive dealt with a lot from my peers on here, back talking, hating, straight up bullying, and i just cant anymore
I cant deal with drama irl AND on the internet, bcuz at the end of the day i can just delete everything on here and be done with it all so thats wat im gonna do
Tbh this has been building up for a while, i can only handle so much from “friends” and irl i cut people off pretty quick and on here should be no exception but ive fucked up and let people do watever too long and its bitten me in the ass
Yes ik im dramatic lol, ive gotten that a lot and a lot of people hate me for, a lot of people love me for it, its how i am and it keeps things interesting. I get it, i like to make a lot of call out posts. Y? Bc people deserve to be called out and idgaf ab appearances on here. If someone did something bad, im gonna call them out bc last i checked its my blog and i can do wat i want. If u wouldnt do it, thats fine, its ur decision, and this is mine
Yes, i dont post a lot, I. Am. Busy. I have work. I have school. I have a social life. I cant write smut all the time even tho i want to, and at the end of the day, its not my job to write smut all day so people can read it and move on. I like to interact with yall, its fun, i like to talk to a lot of different people on her since my irl friends arent really into anime. Apparently people think im a loser for that? Ok? Sorry i like to talk to people on the internet when im bored instead of producing smut all day for people to read, ig i shouldve remembered im only on here to provide content since i dont deserve to have some fun, my mistake
Requests? Requests r a generosity. So many of my requesters have been absolute angels with being patient in receiving their requests, happy to just see me writing or interacting at all. Others have hounded me regularly telling me im lazy and selfish for not completing my requests, saying im an asshole for not completing them over my own projects bc “they asked first”. LMAO, U WRITE IT THEN???? i dont owe anything to anyone, certainly not someone who comes here solely to read my fics, not even leaving any interaction or encouragement whatsoever, then leave.
The icing on the cake? The tip of the iceburg? Discord of all places. Im sorry some of u didnt enjoy my server, i really am. Ive never used discord before and me and the mods did the best we could and im sorry i couldnt be as attentive to it due to my busy schedule
Im sorry i couldnt get there in time to stop conflicts or just straight up call people out, and im sorry someone had to make another server since they didnt like how i was handling mine bc i didnt take their side in a fight that THEY WERE WRONG IN? But i tried to be nice, tried to defend her and nicely explain y she was she cant say anything they want in any situation bc people get hurt. but it didnt matter. Y? Bc apparently i cant tell people what they can and cant say…
And that made me realize something! Theyre right! Theyre absolutely right and im so stupid for not seeing it until now! I cant stop people from saying things to me. I cant stop people from talking shit ab me. I cant stop people from even saying things on my own blog and server! I just cant. Bcuz in the end, people r gonna say what they want and do what they want bc people dont wanna learn. They dont wanna talk. They dont wanna hear ab how what they do or say affects others. They just wanna do what the want when the want, and they wanna be allowed to, bc fuck everybody else. Everybody is the victim in their own story, and i deserve to be the victim in mine.
And what would a victim do in this situation?
Leave.

I'm gonna put the glitch in glitch duo right now and rant about them and how their glitches work because I am so normal about them (lie)
Okay, so I barely got into Lifesteal like. Late last year because of Squiddo joining and I lowkey got really hyped for it and seeing Ash and Squiddo together I was like.. Woah.. New fav duo alert.. And then found that there was no fancontent and had to make it myself so.
Anywho! Ashswag, as we already know, has that lil.. Thing over his left eye (?) That a lot of us (me) has interpreted as like. Glitching. So to start us off, I believe that glitching can stem from messing with your own player code/others player code/server codes/using mods with like. Virus' or something idk im not that smart. And from the Ashswag videos I've watched we can kind of tell where Ash fits in there by like. Fucking with how servers work and therefore fucking up his own code.
Squiddo's code is glitched because.. Have you watched Squiddo's videos? Naw but fr, she's constantly putting the most cancer inducing mods on her game, playing mods that can definitely fry their pc, playing minecraft on a USB DRIVE?? Which would DELETE chunks to MAKE MORE OF ITSELF so like. You can see where I'm going with this. So obviously, their code gets fucked up and the more they do these mods and plug ins and - whatever the hell, the more their code because intangible and unable to be fixed.
So, with that, I'm gonna go ahead and explain how I think their glitching works and how it affects their body/like.. Everything else.
Ashswag's glitches, as we can see, are more visible to the eye. Literally over his damn eye. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that gives him some partial blindness in his left eye. Also, from some fics that ive read ive seen people give him like, back problems and chronic pain that he probably had before but the glitches DEFINITELY don't help at all and instead make the pain way worse than it already is so. Yay!
While Ash's are more physical, I feel like Squiddo's are more like. Mental? If you catch my drift? While Ash is stumbling down into a heap of pain on the floor because his back is killing him, Squiddo is standing in the hallway staring at him wondering why the guy from the one house smp is crumbling on the floor in front of them on a server they swore they were not on a few weeks ago.
So yeah. Memory loss Squiddo. Also inspired from a fic that I do know! I'll link the fics I got inspired from at the end because they are genuinely such good reads and great ideas.
But I decided that memory loss best fit Squiddo, because tbh they are pretty forgetful. And I take their goofy hijinks and shenanigans as just. Squiddo having to recollection of anything and just trying to do something (which she's probably done before) to job their memory but oh well. I feel as if the memory loss is more of a living in the farlands thing rather than glitched out fucked-up code inducing thing, but whatever. The only time we see glitched out Squiddo is on thumbnails! So I feel like whenever Squiddo joins a server or world that's previously glitched or like. They're already pretty glitched, it really takes its toll and fucks up the whole thing and makes it a memory loss disaster for Squiddo.
And because of Squiddo's horrible memory, they can never recollect and find out what the hell happened to the world to make it this glitched out when in reality she's the reason the world is so glitched.
Except when joining servers! Surprisingly, they don't experience those things when joining servers while when joining worlds the world would become discombobulated and delete itself just after a few hours. Funsies! Which they realize when they join the one house smp just to explore it and then they find ASHSWAG!! And then realizes that HE'S GLITCHED TOO!! YAYY!!! And then they absolutely BOMBARDDDD him with questioned like "why do my worlds always delete themselves?", "what causes someone to have a glitched code?" And "how are servers able to not glitch out?" Etc etc which Ashswag answers and then BOOM! FRIENDSHIP!!!
Basically the only reason servers are able to work for them is because theres like.. This other thing cody whatever that prevents it to idk im not smart. This is not compliant with my past fics written about this stuff but oh wellsies.
Another thing I have made up is 'glitch fever' where basically they just get sick because of their fucked up code and glitches. Yeah. Also based off a fic I read where being around Ashswag too much can make you sick and stuff. I feel like their are certain people who are immune to it like Reddoons (purely because of Swagdoons and nothing else) and Squiddo (because they also glitch tf out and Swagsquid/silly).
Another thing I've like. Headcanoned (because this is all just me reading too much into things and making too many headcanons about) is that their glitches also like.. Made their body tempature irregular. This is so random but it was just something I thought of and then I wrote a fic about it. Like, Ash is constantly fucking cold and on a hot ass texas summer day he'll feel a little warm. Same for Squiddo just vice versa. I love them. The sillies. I want to put them in a terrarium and study them.
That's.. All I have I'm pretty sure. Hello I am Swagsquid the #1 Glitch Duo Writer/Enthusiast and the #1 Swagsquid Shipper (the ONLY Swagsquid shipper..) and thank you for listening to my ted talk.
Fics I took inspiration from:
"Dear Diary: Today, I killed someone" by Fey_wilde on Ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52170592)

ok, ive done a bit of looking, seems like i slept through most of it ToT
give me a second for it to sink in, but if you know me, you know im workers rights all the way
ill be honest i was a little confused during the summer when eggs would pull off shifts with almost no sleep, wondering how theyd be paid for that? like tbh if they were working, on the clock, for 14+ hours almost every day I had no idea how QSMP could afford that. I guess they couldnt
ive always been suspicious of the teams ambitions, while admirable its not sustainable, hopefully this is a reality check, reaching that high is costly, and you'll leave things behind, like, you know, workers right to be paid
the qsmp seemingly employs more than 30, 40, ish people(an estimation), not just the actors, that's no longer a controllable group of workers, thats a small business, that's open to corruption, to abuse, they fuckin need an HR at that point
it's ridiculous, that someone has put ccs above the people they work with, aside from privacy, there is no reason to do this, there has to be trust, and communication, for all workers
if theyy wanted privacy they should have drafted contracts, but it seems they didn't even do that. there's ways to do this, for fucks sake
im angry, because this was avoidable, because i would have been fine without purgatory 1 and 2, lore events, less npcs, as long as the ones who do the work, who keep the server running, get fuckin paid
hell, have a donation pool, im sure streamers would love to donate, im sure the community would too, if you really need money, fundraise, pay your fuckin people
these eggs are not doing unpayable labor, they have been working their asses off, to provide the server with some of the most engaging content you've ever seen, appreciate them
the admins are not doing unpayable labor, they are keeping the server up and fixing its many issues with pings from all around the world, lag issues due to the amount of mods, etc etc
even assistants, and internal workers are not doing unpayable labor, they also keep the machine running
if you dont want to pay them, dont hire them, if they dont contribute enough to be paid, dont hire them
but you need them, dont you? so pay them
#for fucks sake#they need to clean up internally and if that takes closing the server for a week#calling in hr professionals#and having big meetings#then so be it#whatever gets this handled#if pomme leaves im out#out#qsmp#discourse

...do you really? how long ago was that even?
uhhh... man, i dont know, a few weeks ago? it- a lot has happened since then, you know. its hard to keep track of things around here, with how quickly everything moves on around here.
...how long have you been... okay? i mean, unabstracted?
same answer as before. a few weeks i think.
oh...
origami?
...i missed you so much. you have no idea how hard it was, not knowing where you were. i-
i know more than you realize, 'gami. when i was, ah, restored, and saw people with living cranes, i knew it had to be you. problem was, no one knew where you went, so they couldnt tell me where to go to find you.
oh, right. that was... my bad. i... i panicked and accidentally told sun that jax... *ahem* anyways, i panicked and teleported to gangle.
oh, right, jax... god, i...
...sign?
...the whole reason i abstracted in the first place was because i was terrified something bad would happen to him. and it was WHILE I WAS GONE that something bad finally DID happen. by the time i was back... i... i dont know...
*they both fall silent.*
uh, i have some better news for you.
oh yeah? whats that?
i, uh... i have a boyfriend and-
WHAT?!
hehe, yeah, i knew youd react like that.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH RIZZ TO SNAG A BOYFRIEND?! WHO IS IT???
uh- ya seen the cemetery on the edge of the circus? he lives there.
the cemetery...? OH. MY. GOD. YOURE DATING BOB?!
pfft- yeah. i think he, uh, really appreciated that i stayed for him while he was abstracted, and, uh... actually, i cant think of any other reason why he likes me...
he hasnt said any?
um, well... *clears throat* hes called me cute before...
awwwww-
oh, shut up, 'gami! i dont see you dating anyone!
pfft- i dont need to. youve got that covered for the both of us.
wha- okay, whatever. i-
*origami suddenly rushes up and hugs him, suddenly crying. he hugs her back, startled but happy. she sniffles.*
youre so stupid and ive missed you so much, you big dork-
*sign smiles, squeezing her tight.*
i missed you too, sis.

i think this might be a good opportunity for everyone to take some deep breaths!! it can be pretty triggering seeing someone use a coping mechanism that oneself used in a difficult time. it's natural for that to bring up a lot of hard feelings.
i'm going to take this opportunity to remind the dear readers of this shared forum space to please be kind to one another!! we can afford to give one another the benefit of the doubt here, in this space.
each of us is here because we have felt drawn to an experience that we've been told is "other" or "different." some folks may have had more harsh words used against them in their past. none of us can say who is "real" or "not real," "valid" or "not valid." it is important to remember to stay hydrated, go to therapy, and avoid judging others!
it is important to remember that a traumatized person is a normal person. that a mentally ill person is a regular person. that one's experiences don't make one abnormal. you can be safe, well adjusted and happy, regardless of the type of body you live inside of. it is important for us to avoid using our language to take that away from others.
it's a natural impulse to try and course correct others when you believe they might be doing something to hurt themselves. it's an admirable thing, even, and it comes from a place of good intentions. i love you all and i don't believe anybody sending in asks is meaning to hurt anypony else's feelings.
i just feel it is important to acknowledge when someone might be using harsh, exclusive, or punishing language in an effort to change behavior. we have much more kind and gentle ways of treating one another available to us.
peace and love, mod party cat i am giving you a bouquet 💐 for your patience with the askbox today 💙

Do u think terraliens would have been a good species if they actually stopped fucking around and listened to the suggestions and shit
oh absolutely
for a little context, i used to be really into deviantart cringe stuff on yt back in the day, and something i got from that is even if someone is rude or dookies all over ur work, there are two things to do
1. take it with a grain of salt, they will never know you and you will never know them, if it bothers u too much then go outside
2. take it as an excuse to improve. someone saying “this thing is bad” can hurt, but also it can be a motivator to yourself to make it better
thats why i think drama blogs can be helpful in some sort of way, if other people can see what the deep issues are and explicitly say it and give critique, and you just throw it away because of where the info came from, then im sorry but i dont really think you want to improve
now granted they dont have to look at drama blogs and thats fair, thats just a lot of my own opinion
BUT
when you open up suggestion threads and when people suggest the same things over and over directly to you and you either deny it or ignore it because “too much work!” then i think youre lazy.
using the “draw the terra above” suggestion thats been given several times, people in the threads have given various examples of the concept working perfectly in other servers, howltars has over 2k members and their “draw howl above” channel seems to work perfectly fine. when given evidence that new things CAN work and things that members want CAN be implemented, mods shut it down and say its too much work and we dont have the staff! (despite how every time someone says to hire more we’re apparently bursting at the seams with mods)
i think thats why theres so much resentment built up, they kinda refuse to listen to anyone who isnt in their little clique and they never show any progress on anything besides more trait restrictions and adopts. (a reminder that the species still does not have a.) trait sheets and b.) actual written lore, and its been over 9 months since release. i can make an infant human in the time it takes terralien mods to make a trait sheet but sure what we need is more useless forageables)
also i hate how they always kill a suggestion thread by saying “things are getting a little heated” when someone says anything even slightly negative. we get it guys nobody is allowed to say anything that isnt absolute brown nosing, its such a convenient way for them to say “were actually never going to do this now because one person was being a meanie :(“
i joined terras pretty close to release, so ive seen them use every excuse under the sun to not really make any changes. it sucks because the base concept is pretty interesting and when i wanted to leave and find a new species nothing really had the same kick. bad moderation is and always has been the main downfall of this species

Get to Know Me - Sims Style
i was tagged by @amuhav because she loves me and knows i love doing these things
what's your favourite sims death?
ngl i dont actually have one, im terrified of any of my babies dying so they never do...but i guess old age maybe? because that means theyve lived a long life and ive played with them for a long time?
alpha cc or mm?
alpha HANDS DOWN...i dont hate mm by any means dont get me wrong, but ill always be an alpha girl at heart. its the alpha hairs, they always get me.
do you cheat your sims weight?
only if it fits their character i guess? not usually in gameplay.
do you move objects
i move objects every single day.
fave mod?
ooofff i mean out of necessity? nraas. but just the one i love? hands down pose player. mostly because i was so excited when i finally got it to work (i was like 13 or something and before then i could not figure out how to get mods to work) so a lot of happy memories from finally getting my sims to pose.
first expansion/game pack/stuff pack?
my first ever was sims 2 glamour life stuff pack when i was a kid. if we're talking sims 3, i believe the first pack i got was generations, which is still my favourite sims pack ever.
do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?
i pronounce it LIVE, always have as far as i know.
who's your favourite sim that you've made?
well, its gotta be elodie honestly. she and eli are the longest sims i have ever had and i love them both dearly. in the sims 4, its gotta be my girl pippa. before tumblr? i had this family called the moretti's, i miss them and i think about them way too often. i loved them all.
have you made a simself?
oh yeah. loads of times. i think ive shared my sims 3 and sims 4 variations on tumblr (but they look really weird tbh). i love making myself, cause then i can wear all these clothes i cant afford in real life.
favourite ea hair
im with aimee on this one.
im mostly joking, but usually sims 3 hairs are a no go for me, except for some store ones and the hairs that are pulled back into buns always look really nice. for sims 4, only the newer ones. the older ones are not for me.
favourite life stage?
young adult. i feel like you can always do more with young adult sims and you have so much more time (except in sims 1 i believe?and sims 2 only if u went to uni?? idk). 90% of my sims are forever young adults because i love that life stage so much.
are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
mate ive been trying to build for donkeys years to no avail. so im almost always in it for the gameplay.
are you a cc creator?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BAHAHAHA
HA
once upon a time bro maybe. your girl tries to be, but uni is a pain in my bottom, and sims 3 loves making my life difficult.
do you have any simblr friends or a sim squad?
somehow i do?? more friends then irl anyway.
the girl gang is @thesimperiuscurse , @lazysunjade & @amuhav
these 3 have put up with me despite my crazy personality for an incredibly amount of time and i love them all dearly.
but i have so many friends on here its crazy (more than 3 people its incredible!). obviously they havent seen my real personality yet. besties include: @catharsim , @plumbobem , @johziii , @rollo-rolls , @moonsonnet , oh gosh im forgetting people I AM SO SORRY I LOVE U ALL SO MUCH
do you have any sims merch?
bro i wish, but no money. spent it all on anno 1800. no regrets.
do you have a youtube for sims?
i believe formally i do, but i dont post anything. i do have some ideas if i ever wanted to, but my adhd brain couldnt cope being consistent so i probably never will.
how has your "sims style" changed throughout your years of playing?
as in sims or gameplay? idk ill talk about both. gameplay wise, not much, except im weirdly a lot more controlling then i was over my sims WHOOPS. but i still cant get passed gen 2 so that hasn't changed. but i still prefer family gameplay, probably always will. and challenges, always challenges. sims wise? a lot.
this is one of the earliest sims i have photo evidence of. this was in 2018 i believe?
whose your favourite cc creator?
the people that are the cause of most of my cc obsession are
@kerriganhouse , @rollo-rolls , @johziii , @joojconverts & @martassimsbookcc and probably a few more but mind blank
how long have u had simblr?
since 2020. one of the longest things ive ever committed to.
how do you edit your pictures?
with my blood, sweat and tears. im not joking, a lot of sweat and tears goes on when im editing.
what expansion/gamepack is your faveourite?
of all time? generations, no doubt in my mind. i never had any sims 1 or sims 2 expansions, so i never got to experience those unfortunately. generations was perfection though. i mean, boarding school? lifesaver. also led to the best sims series of all time: lifesimmer's generations. for sims 4 though? probably get together, purely because of the world.

I wasn't around much during the 2012 fever, so I wonder: did Entre date anyone else besides 12? I saw him being constantly shipped with 72 and Swag but I think Swagtre was only canon during Truffula Flu. Perhaps there are more ships I'm not aware of
mainverse entre has only dated two ppl (unless im forgetting some obscure shit i said) and that was some girl when he was like 17/18 or whatever that his mom forced him to. and then 12
entre's thing was always that he was too focused on his aspirations to really think about romance or sex and anyone who kept up with him for a while (or backread) can remember about how often he rebuffed the idea of him getting intimate with anyone at all
he DID have senpai crushes on 72 and swag tho (and maybe someone else i forgor) and it's very strongly implied that the feelings towards 72 toed the line of romantic (especially if you attended the tinychats) but entre didn't know how to recognize those feelings, he's never really had them
12 was an accident LMAOOO he just got too into the conversation and suddenly he's agreeing to a date??? and then he ended up really liking him so they've stayed together since. he likes that theres not a big like...demand for his time and attention. 12 Understands exactly what entre's going through and gives him his space and such and yet they do give each other special attention when they're feelin it. its very casual and entre likes that but it also fulfills his emotional needs when he needs that too. idk obviously we dont show a lot of that on the blog (mostly bc i respect that 12's mod isnt rly up to updating him and i dont wanna be pushy U__U its fine tho bc entre gets along just fine on his own whims)
entre is my shipping bicycle tho so 8) ive shipped him w many -lers through the years and still do (and even teased a thing w a norma in some tinychats way back in the day) so theres a lot of ships floating around out there and even more in my head
i think the main ones that were a fandom thing are like
seventre, 12tre, inktre, bittre, rocktre, and swagtre
but ive seen ppl joke or "what if" about others too and i cant remember all of them
and yeah swagtre is only canon in truffula flu
tho he did have a crush on him and 72 in weehawken (to mirror mainverse)
and speaking of weehawken, the revival last year had him kinda B) hitting it off with a certain other -ler (EDU why's it empty >:O whatever here's a post of his mainverse self)
whats funny is i was like adamant on not shipping on the blogs LMAOOOOO i look at past me and POINT! AND LAUGH! FOOLISH!! JUST HAVE FUN IDIOT. i mean obviously i lightened up overtime but for a while i was like so strict man. and for what

saw someone mention how they didnt like the redacted discord server bc it tries too hard to be open to everyone, but its really really restrictive as well. and i have to say, ive had issues with the server and how it’s been run for a long time.
they have a rule that you cant talk about anything that could be seen as a “political issue” which makes sense i guess… but youre not even allowed to talk about it in the vent channels. they have a system implemented that I actually suggested after a fairly heated discussion with some of the mods in the server back when roe v wade was overturned. a huge amount of people, not thinking it was a political issue (its not, its a human rights issue that was putting So Many people at risk) talked about how upset and scared it made them in the vent channel. and we were all told by the staff that it violated the rules and that we werent allowed to speak on the issue. so some of us put in a formal complaint through the system’s suggestions google form. this lead to me having a direct conversation with one of the mods about how it made me, along with several others, uncomfortable that something that was impacting people that much couldnt even be mentioned. and i know its fairly understandable. but they ended up keeping the rule in place and disregarding half of my suggestion, deciding to only implement part of it; that people should put whether or not they want to be responded to in DMs or not and if they don’t want to be DMed then they dont get a response. i suggested this so that we could keep the in depth discussions out of the server like the rules say we should.
but they felt it was unsafe. and they didnt want anyone to be “singled out” and were afraid of people getting attacked by other server members who stood on the, erm, more conservative side of things. i told them that people who yk… hate human rights… shouldnt be allowed in a space like this one. and if they want to allow shitty people to stay around the place just to make it easier for them to cater to everyone. and nothing was ever done.
and since that interaction, i havent felt safe in that server at all.

ive seen more sysmeds spread misinformation about plurality and even CDD systems than pro endos. not to say that pro endos dont say incorrect things about CDDs or traumagenic systems, but i will say, pro endos cite their sources a lots more and sysmeds act like the carrds they make are Scripture so... i wonder what makes you say that the endo community "push and believe in so much misinformation" so often but dont often acknowledge the sysmeds who do the same thing except waaay more?
I'm not the mod who said that but I have complicated views on both of your opinions...
We have to recognize that CDDs are some of the most misunderstood disorders out there. While ALL disorders are misunderstood, CDDs have a long history of controversy-after-controversy, delegitimizing campaigns purposefully targeting them, and even the professional field is severely lacking education in them. Misinformation on CDDs is everywhere, even in the CDD community. But I think the misinformation is perhaps less in this community because we literally have the disorder in question.
It makes sense that a lot of us are at least somewhat educated on our own experience. Even someone who has no education at all still has lived experience. So, no DUH the endogenic community is less educated, more misinformed than us. I'd argue that mostly all communities outside of CDDs are the same in that regard.
As for who spreads more misinformation...this is a stupid argument. It's literally just a dick misinformation measuring contest. It's pointless.
How about we acknowledge that there are shitty, misinformed people in all walks of syscourse labels? I've been active in the communities for almost a decade now. I've been on all sides, pro-endo to anti-endo, endo-neutral, unlabeled, to pro-endo again. There is literally no "worse" side. They can both be equally shitty, equally misinformed, equally needing to go outside and engage in nature.
If you involve yourself in pro-endo syscourse, then you're going to see the worst of the anti-endos. If you involve yourself in anti-endo syscourse, you're going to see the worst of the pro-endos.
The mod who said endogenics are less willing to change than singlets was very recently anti-endo (they aren't anymore but still take that into consideration). When I was anti-endo, I never saw a good endogenic ever. Only the worst of the pro-endos wanted to engage with me, to fight obviously, and I mostly saw screenshots of endogenics being rather terrible. That made me want to stay even further away from them because it convinced me the majority were misinformation-spreading ableists, never willing to listen or change.
Hey! I bet that sounds a lot like how you view anti-endos! And probably how a lot of anti-endos view pro-endos!
Yet, once I started actually talking to endogenics & endo supporters outside of syscourse, I found out the majority of them are not like that at all. Even if we had completely different opinions about plurality. And if you never investigate a person's beliefs beyond what you assume about their label, you'll never discover that a ton of systems who identify as pro-endo are actually a lot more anti-endo than some systems who identify as a anti-endo. Vice versa.
TLDR ; If your only exposure to a group of people is through the lens of discourse, you're only going to know the worst of them.

F*ck anons
Hate, Harassment, and Threats: Coping and Handling
It happens and it's happened since the rise of LJ. I remember getting my first hatepost and how much it upset me, but I was never a target in the way that many were. LJ was truly the wild and wooly west - Dodge City or Deadwood, when people thought it would be a utopia. We had greyfaces, anons, sock puppets, and meat puppets. For people transitioning from controlled environments like e-Groups, Listserv, and forums it was not the mod-free utopia that they might have wished for. Real fandom scandals and legitimate harm to fans have been built on anons, sockpuppets, and greyfaces.
Terminology
Anon: Anonymous account either from outside the service or from an established account that has been anonymized.
Greyface: LJ term for an account with no identifiers, created explicitly to harass.
Sock Puppet: Account created by one person with the intent of being perceived as a separate individual.
Meat Puppet: Also used to be called a fanpoodle. A person whose actions are directed by another. Also called a muppet for having the controller's hand shoved so far up their ass that it can work their mouth.
Defining Hateposting/Cyberstalking/Harassment/Threats
First, there is a federal law -18 U.S. Code § 2261A Stalking - that defines stalking and harassment. Full text is here, with excerpt below:
(2) (Whoever) with the intent to kill, injure, harass, intimidate, or place under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate another person, uses the mail, any interactive computer service or electronic communication service or electronic communication system of interstate commerce, or any other facility of interstate or foreign commerce to engage in a course of conduct that— (A)places that person in reasonable fear of the death of or serious bodily injury to a person, a pet, a service animal, an emotional support animal, or a horse described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of paragraph (1)(A); or (B)causes, attempts to cause, or would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to a person described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of paragraph (1)(A),
Laws can vary from state to state. 48 states have some laws on the books, with 44 having criminal penalties. You'll need to contact local law enforcement or look them up on your state legislature's website.
All forms of online harassment can be grouped under the label of cyberbullying. How do you know what is or isn't cyberbullying? There is a comprehensive list. Even some things that you didn't think might be bullying are, in fact, bullying. Unfortunately, the FBI seems to focus on financial crimes and scams, and have changed their reporting pages to reflect that. In all cases using the internet to convey threats as defined under 18 U.S. Code § 2261A need to be documented and reported to the FBI.
Documenting: Keep the Reciepts
Documenting online abuse is key to stopping online abuse. To be Tumblr specific, screenshots of DMs, replies to your posts, posts harassing you, reblogs of your posts with abuse in the comments and tagjacking or abusive hashtags, screenshots of anons/sockpuppets and harassing asks need to be kept. You need your receipts.
Fuck Anons
Anons are not worth your mental health or the pleasure and community you derive from fandom.
"But some of my followers are shy!"
They can create an account that they can use just for doing asks. Exposing you to abuse and bullying should not be the price of someone being shy. I have also turned on anons when someone has asked me to via DM, in a post comment, or via an anon comment on my Ao3 so that they could send me an ask without unmasking themselves. This protects me and protects them.
Tumblr recently started requiring a valid email address to send an anon without being signed in. This could be seen a couple of different ways - Tumblr wants some sort tabs on people using their site anonymously, or that they want people sending anons to create an account. There is nothing to stop an anon from creating a burner email account in order to harass, so that only goes so far.
Block anons. I am serious. Just go into your account settings and do it. You can even turn off asks entirely.
Per Tumblr: "Anonymous asks are not associated with a specific account, and blocking those will block the IP address of the sender."
So, if you block an anon and someone suddenly disappears from your followers, or you get a follower asking why they can't see or interact with your blog, then you have your answer as to where your anon bullying might well be coming from.
However, isn't it easier to just turn off anons?
Yes. It is. My anons are kept off 99.9 percent of the time and I sleep just fine.
Other Tips and Tricks
You can control who reblogs your posts. The default is that anyone on Tumblr can reblog. You can also block anyone from reblogging. The new feature offers middle ground by allowing you to add users allowed to reblog by mentioning them. I don't know if this extends to other parties reblogging from the people you allowed to reblog, however. Click on the little gear to access the dropdown.
From the Settings Menu
In addition to the default, you have two other options under the dropdown.
Tumblrs you follow and that have been mutuals with you for a week can reply
Only Tumblrs you follow can reply.
Keep the people you follow private by toggling this off.
Toggle off to stop DMs from people you don't follow.
Hide your Tumblr from people without a Tumblr, or from people who are signed out. Remove your blog from Tumblr search results or from search engine crawlers.
Finally, you can block DMs on a case by case basis, too.
Finally, it can be hard to start over, but when the bullying is too much and too persistent, you can back up your blog or take it private and start a new Tumblr with people you trust.
