I know Steph and Ed having any kind of relationship might not be that common (and I think most of the works I've read with them are yours), but in that case, shouldn't we all credit to everyone who created the first tag for every relationship? For example, (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't read the comics) but a while ago I saw someone's post about how funny it was that we ship Jon and Ed even though in comics they barely have any interaction (again, I don't know if this is true, I don't read comics), so shouldn't we credit to whoever wrote the first Scriddler comic?

But also, it is still kinda difficult to know who created something, you might've been the person who created the tag in AO3, but that's not the only ff site, someone could've done it first in FF.net, Wattpad, Tumblr or some other site, or maybe even someone that wrote something but never published it.

And, like you, who saw their interactions in the comics and had the idea of making them a family or Ed taking care of her, someone else, that hasn't read your fics, could have the same idea (excluding calling him her 'imaginary friend' because that is very specific, or for example, your 'Water Lilies' fic plot) and write a fic.

In instances where you could ask for credits is when you create an oc or something that doesn't exist in the original work, for example, there's this Harry Potter fic where the author created something called 'Climagia' (some women could control the earth elements) and in that case, you could ask for credit because it's something that does not exist in the books, but Steph and Ed already exist in the comics (like you said, you didn't create them) and making them be friends/siblings/family is not something so specific as to claim any credit, in my opinion.

And I completely agree to saying that creating fanart of any kind is a full-time, important activity!! As a ff writter, I've also created some uncommon pairings, but I don't expect anyone to give me credit for them because the characters are already there, I just took them and put them together, something that someone else can do.

I'm not writing this as to fight with you or anything, or change your mind, I just read what you wrote and wanted to give my opinion, and mention a few things as to why some people might not give credits.

First of all, thank you for reading my works! I’m very happy to count you as a reader :)

[in that case, shouldn't we all credit to everyone who created the first tag for every relationship?] - Ideally, yes. Now, there are relationships that became so popular and so widely spread, no one knows where the idea comes from anymore (if it's one or multiple people, a story, a fanart or a podcast or whatever else that started it). For some characters it's increased by their proximity in canon, what fully explains Superbat, StephCass or other ships between characters who share a complicity. I consider Riddlebat fully fits in this category. I don't know who invented Scriddler, but it became a widely spread ship while Jonathan and Edward never shared anything more that a couple of positive interactions in the source material. Someone likely launched the idea by a story or a piece of art, and the fandom took hold of it. That person has the right to feel bad when seeing something they created became so popular and so re-invented by everyone else, nobody remembers them anymore. Personally, I find that a bit sad, to think someone created something so cherished in the fandom and nobody knows them. I would be profoundly afflicted if the same happened with the Stephanie & Edward friendship / family bond. Sure, I would be happy to see it grow popular, but not at the price to be completely forgotten as the person who launched it in the fandom. If that were the case, I'd be hurt and I would feel like all my work gets... entirely wasted.

When I say I made my researches, I mean it. Not only on AO3. I guarantee there are no stories featuring Edward adopting Stephanie Brown, no matter the verse, before I made this very trope a thing in my AU 'Safe & Sound' first. Sure thing, I can't verify works that were never posted, and that's why I personally consider I made their family a thing since I first posted, *not* since I first thought of it. Believe me, I've been thinking about them being brother-sister / father-daughter / soul siblings for much longer than I write this very same topic. Still, I consider it doesn't count in the fandom archives since my older drafts featuring them are written in notebooks and were never published. I agree that someone might have picked on their similarities without reading my stories, but I want to say that it's part of the deal: if someone had the idea of them as family, how could they pass checking THE most popular fanfiction site to see if this has been translated into a fanfic on AO3 already? Actually, I would love to receive a comment like "I had this idea since I read about Riddler and Stephanie, I'm so glad someone agrees with me!" and then see this person do their own story, while knowing they may have thought about it, they haven't launched the trend and they acknowledge it. I take that example because I received similar comments for a recurrent topic in my fics, being that my Edward was a teenager when he begun his Riddler career. Placing him under eighteen when he first suited up his costume is the headcanon field, and it pleases me to see others enjoy to see this portrayal in my stories. Thank you for giving your opinion. On my side, I consider that making Edward adopt a young Stephanie *is* specific enough to ask for credit. Not the same as portraying them as friends, but making Eddie her father or her big brother, and making them each other's most important person in their world, the person they would choose above anything and anyone else including themselves *is* something I can ask credit for, since it existed nowhere before I brought it to life. If anything, I find your reference a bit sad there, and I am sincerely sorry you created relationships that became popular without you being acknowledged for it, is that what you are saying? Because if you were the first and exclusive author of said relationships, for which you likely got very involved, then it's a shame it became used and re-used without people remembering you started the trend. You deserved your recognition in the fandom world, because being fanfiction writers and fanart artists should always mean we are supportive of each other, as we all share this same passion. Again, it would make me feel like I wasted my time, while I engage in my writing with all my heart, if I don't get the minimum of recognition being that people remember Edward being Steph's parent, brother or best-friend-ready-to-do-anything-for-her comes from my stories.

Worry not lol, actually I love to hear divergent opinions, it's always interesting! Thank you for sharing your point and by doing so, giving me an occasion to develop mine!

I was wondering how chapter 14 is going. I’m really excited to read it when it’s out. I’m sorry if this is an annoying question

not an annoying question at all, anon! :D tho the Ol Life™️ thing is driving into my writing time a lot more than i'd care for haha

if i could project all my thoughts and plans into words quicker i'd most happily do so and oh boy do i have thoughts and plans

You ever start writing a tag and come across a phrase that's. Just ALL the scams

I'm gonna place a little more emphasis on Not Harassing People (Hasn't happened yet but luck is fickle) and also I do not want engagement on the post via asks or reblogs.

New verse:

for the immortal flowers in my bones; for the ice in my heart v. aka what are you doing with your life if you don't have a greek gods verse for your muse?

   vines adorned with colorful flowers often hide the truth. the thorny strap his parents keep around his neck is tight and unpleasant.

   the more he grew, the more he understood that it was about control- not the love and concern that the demeter entities have cooed to him about. that he was being seen as nothing more than an obedient, forever child for them- his only duty to regulate the harvests and stabilize seasons.

   it didn't mattered that the centuries had turned his body into the one of an adult, doe-eyed gaze admiring his features under a loose chiton. it did not mattered that he had grown muscles, that he could outrun even the fastest of animals if he so desired, that he wanted to explore, to live- he was still being seen as a child, and as a child he was to be controlled, least he harmed himself.

   being one of the gods of agricolture and harvests served him very little. 

   ( the handmade obsidian dagger with a splintered wooden handle speaks about he's not a pretty, naive thing. )

   despite the demeters being not much liked by the other gods, the young man cannot form a plan to escape- for the olympus was vast, and his means to hide from the omniscient gaze of his parents few and unreachable.

   his only way out seems to be a loveless marriage with someone who will whisk him away- he'd tolerate... no, he'd take it. it'd still be much more freedom than he has now.

   and then...

   the occasion comes, unplanned and surprising. at a banquet like any other, two chips of ice stare at him across the room, hungry and undeterred by his parent's wrathful looks and angry whispers to come closer to them for protection. and at that gaze-

  -he meets the eyes of the god of death. it's hades that has taken an interest on him- the cagey god of the underworld. 

   and it's then that his insides move with something as warm as the aromatic wine in his cup- pale stars refuse to lower, glow alight with interest, curiosity and something far from innocent, creating a connection between them that shifts the energy of the room even without them speaking a single word to one another.

   if it can't be nothing else, it's an occasion. the encounter leaves him stirred, no longer able to sleep at night as easily as he did until now.

   an occasion to act on his escape plan presents itself two days later: protected by an hooded cloak, kaeya descends into the underworld of his own volition- knowing that every step taken makes him more free by the minute.

   he offers himself to the lord of the underworld in soul and body, without the slightest hesitation. he knows that the god won't reject him, even if fueled by the lust that characterizes every god of the pantheon. he'd take anything, if it meant freedom.

   ( to me, his eyes seemed to say that day. come to me. )

   whatever the consequences are, he deems himself ready. he pours his trust in the figure towering over him, for he feels no threat coming from it. he decides to trust wriothesley━

   ━and finds himself loved beyond means.

   the union between their souls is as much carnal as it's a pact to seal the deal- the sensations repressed by a long period of innocency imposed on him, and he dips into the newlyfound sensations eagerly. he consumes his new spouse mutually, makes himself at home in the terrifying, cold world that is now half his, and discovers that he was born into his new role finely- and the ravenous hunger of mind and body.

   kaeya finds in wriothesley a most passionate, devoted lover that looks at him like he's the sun and stars both. wriothesley gives him a new name- persephone, now forever his partner in ruling the underworld, their twined hands bound by velvety, soft ivy sprouting from the cracks in their thrones.

   and when the day comes that zeus has no choice but to call kaeya back to his parents, he looks at his husband in the eyes as he consumes pomegranade seeds off his hand, licks blood-like juice off his fingers to savor the taste of their bond before he departs.

   persephone emerges to the surface clad in dark, fumous robes, from the newly-created meadow of pale flowers at the entrance of the underworld, crystals of ice forevermore embedded in his hair and a crown of black, frozen thorns over his brow.

   he has never felt more free, even among his parents wailing that he has been defiled. what he ate bounds him to the underworld, he knows, hiding a smile behind his hand.

   defiled? is he a tomb, an object? why does his innocence matter, when to keep it he had to endure so many privations? now he can no longer submit to demeter's wishes- when he has known the longing, the warmth of another body next to his, the depths of a multifaceted, deep intimacy with the one he willingly offered himself to.

   nothing as trivial as his celibacy matters, when the tangy taste of the seeds connecting him to the deity of death- to his husband, lingers on his tongue. the taste of freedom has by long exploded in his mouth;

   his to savor.

tag: For the Immortal Flowers in my bones; for the Ice in my Heart ━ ( Persephone V. )

This verse is singleship with @daybreakrising's Wriothesley.

Man it is WILD seeing the popularities of manga series explode once an anime comes out

Like back when the Spy x Family anime was announced I remember reblogging something and being SO excited for the show to come out and now at anime conventions you see art for it at practically every artist alley booth

Last November at Kumoricon I was ecstatic to find like two pieces of Dungeon Meshi art. With the explosion of the fandom since the release of the anime I’m sure next Kumoricon is going to be full of Dungeon Meshi stuff

Like it’s great when stuff you like gets popular but it’s also SO WEIRD to see the transition from zero to 100 like that

Apple Vision Pro: Reality Restyled, World goes Mad.

The tech world has gone berserk since Apple’s “Apple Vision Pro”, its first stab at spatial computing, was introduced. This ultra-modern virtual reality headset surpasses the boundaries of that very concept presenting a near invariant convergence between digital and non material. Let us look into the characteristics that have fired up this frenzy, exposing how it operates, its dazzling layout as well as what technological advances is driving all of these.

How it Works: Notably, Apple Vision Pro does not just cast an image onto your eyes it generates a realistic three-dimensional feeling. It, with the aid of innovative LiDAR technology and depth sensors maps around you in real time embedding digital elements within physical reality. Picture playing a game of chess on an augmented coffee table that leaps into the depths, or joining coworkers from all over the world in real time inside shared virtual space.The possibilities are mind-boggling.

Design that Dazzles: The so-called ‘high art’ brand that is Apple has not failed in terms of form factor as Vision Pro proves, which you can read below. The frame is lightweight aluminum that curves ergonomically around your face, a single piece of laminated glass functions as the lens housing all intricate technology inside. The available modular parts necessitate a comfortable fit for varietal heads. It’s just one of many demonstrations as to Apple pays with its quality designs which merge function and form.

Technology Powerhouse: The dual-chip architecture has driven this wonder. The M2 chip well known from Apple’s latest devices packs phenomenal processing power whilst the R1 is a breakthrough solution which focuses on sensor data, eliminating lag. This combined power in other words gives smooth and into reality real experiences without trembling neither with lags of some timely moments.

Craze Unfolding: This is a crowd of people waiting for the future to see, powered by Apple’s image as innovators and somehow hoping Vision Pro. Players expect to immerse themselves in hyper-realistic realms, creative professionals imagine unmatched collaboration tools and casual users dream about the ability to step into their dear movie or even memory reeling, pulsating is 3D. This isn’t just a device; it is a new paradigm in human-computer interaction.

Privacy Concerns: However even during the heights of excitement, there remains a cloud in privacy concerns. The dimension of questions about data collection and use also surrounds the Headset functionality to track your gaze and mapping it, besides identifying where you are. Apple requires user control and transparency, but trust has to be won; specifically for such a sensitive technology.

However worrisome, the Apple Vision Pro is a giant leap. It is more than a poshlost headset: it unlocks the doors of an entirely new age to computing where real and virtual fuse together. Whether it lives up to the hype remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Apple Vision Pro has set ablaze the world and everyone waits with great anticipation.

While it is a known fact that corporate greed neuters a lot of stories and severely limits what kinds can be told and does not give a fuck about quality as long as it sells...

I do feel like some critiques of this fact end up creeping into false and potentially dangerous "if it weren't for capitalism media would cater to MY SUPERIOR TASTE instead, the ONLY reason stories I DON'T like get published is because someone has their finger on the scale because MY taste is about what is OBJECTIVELY GOOD and anyone who disagrees is an ANTI-INTELLECTUAL CORPORATE DRONE" and "if storytelling trends move in a direction I dislike it's CLEARLY solely because of CORPORATE GREED what are fads and changing taste" territory and that's. Uh. Bad.
