Warrior's Way Tumblr Tournament - Final Results

After a long week of fighting (and a few hours delay) the final results for the tournament are in! Let's see who's this year's champion:

Congrats to Swordbreaker (@lynxfrost13) for winning the tournament!

And congrats to Keldar (@shatteredplainslair) forplacing 2nd and Hermus (@golddragon-fr) or placing 3rd!

Thank you to everyone who participated! This was fun to run, and I'm hoping to do it again next year!

Here's to a great New Year for everybody!

Sorry my activity has been spotty at best in 2023. I've wanted to be around to write so many times, but I'm either too tired, too distracted, or dealing with IRL things.

I lost two good friends at separate times which really threw me for a loop. I've recovered for the most part, but it still affects me sometimes lol.

I also started a new full-time job in May which has taken a lot of brain power away from me and so I usually just watch YouTube or play video games. Did I mention I'm a huge gamer? I have so many games to play and so little time to the point I feel overwhelmed by that too 😭

Hopefully, I can learn to get my shit together in 2024 and focus more on enjoying life than being overwhelmed by it. I don't want to feel obligated to write or reply to people - I want to do it because it's fun. Thanks to all my partners for being super patient with me ;__; I'm genuinely going to try my best.

Everyone Introduced in Dimension 20's Fantasy High: Junior Year episode 20

Hello!! I've been reading through Leon's stuff and??? I love him??? I'm a sucker for childhood best friends turned to lovers. The slow burn, the pining, and the yandere potential! I was also wondering what would Ren/Redacted do if they found out that Angel loved or had a crush on Leon? I'm assuming that Leon beloved would end up 6 ft under :[ Mostly because it'd be hard to replace the memories Angel has with him, or to make them distrust and dislike Leon so much so that they'd pick a stranger over him.

Anyway tysm for making such great characters!! I legit cannot choose between [Redacted] and Leon rn. And Violet is so sweet, I'd love to play Final Fantasy XIV with her or smth!! Though her account might get mysteriously hacked if we have too much fun or get too close 😪

I have many, many thoughts. I hope this was understandable!

✦゜ANSWERED: I think a lot of people tend to forget that Ren was also your childhood friend as well, so he'd 100% know about Leon's small crush on you when you were all kids!! >:3c

And while technically Leon was the one who proposed first, it was only out of the desire to protect you and fulfil those childlike fantasies he read in books -- not because he had a crush on you. Ren was the one who had genuine feelings and greatly admired you, which was why he proposed (with a ring!!) as well. But obviously knowing Leon for a bit longer, you listened to him instead.

But Leon was also very stubborn and clingy when he was younger, and didn't want you befriending others or replacing him as your best friend. He only wanted you to rely on him to protect you, and always saw Ren as a threat because they were always lurking behind the swings and staying hidden inside the slide like a scary, fantasy monster.

When in reality, Leon was the one encroaching on Ren's only safe haven (the playground) and disrupting the peace.

I've mentioned this before, but Ren would always sneak out and visit the playground on the nights where his family got a little too much, and that was where he would always find you -- alone and huddled up in one of the brightly-coloured tunnels with tears in your eyes. It was then when Ren would start leaving jackets and little toys for you to find, and always got happy when you'd do the same in return. But the moment Leon turned up (most likely out of you telling him about the playground), everything started to go downhill for Ren.

I also don't think a lot of the newer people know about this, but Leon moved away when you were both around 9 years old!! So they only way he kept in touch was through hand-written letters and occasional texts/calls once you both got older and had access to phones. I like to think in an AU where he still had feelings for you, he'd write cute lil love letters and send cheesy Aussie postcards/souvenirs of things you'd enjoy.

I also can't really explain what Ren would do if Leon started getting closer because that's part of the premise of the game (and I don't wanna spoil anything), so I unfortunately can't fully answer your question, I'm sorry!! >.<

*pushes trains off the table* here's some mf SPIDER CLONES who i CHERISH DEEPLY and have been gushing over for MONTHS on instagram (one-off post bc i'm proud of this) (this blog technically began as multifandom anyway sooo)

Is this good news or bad for buddie?

Anon, it's the final countdown BENENEEEEEHH BENENENEHHH BENENEEENNEHEH

Insert obligatory "I don't ever take Tim/showrunner's/actors press opinions as fact EVER" here.

Once again, at the top of my lungs: THE ACTORS AND THE WRITERS ARE NEVER (REPEAT) NEVERRRR GOING TO REVEAL THAT BUCK AND EDDIE WILL BE TOGETHER DEFINITELY IN A PRESS INTERVIEW. IN FACT THEY WILL ACTIVELY LIE ABOUT IT.

The fact that Tim and Oliver were even speaking like it's a possibility is a fucking win.

The part about Eddie and women screams that Eddie's gonna go through an internalized homophobia deconstruction arc at some point. Refer to my last ask about Eddie and his possible queer arc.

Also, take into consideration everything ELSE Oliver and Tim have said in the last like 5 interviews about this episode. There is something more than "friendship jealousy" happening in this episode. And no, it's not about Buck wanting Tommy, though obviously, that is all they can ascribe it to in the press (because none of the future episodes are out yet, duh.). If it's not friendship jealousy, and Buck is SURPRISED that Tommy is into him, then no. It was also NOT about Tommy. Mayhaps it was about the man that Buck literally could not shut up about the entire fucking episode.

I think that the true underlying thing Buck is not comprehending is that no, this is not friendship jealousy, this is not Tommy jealousy, this is Buck is in love with Eddie jealousy/awakening, and it's "bothering" Buck because it's shaking his entire view of their relationship for the last SIX YEARS.

This episode, in my opinion, was a speed run of Buck's relationship with Eddie. Culminating in a kiss with Tommy. This says to me, point blank period, that eventually Buck will be at this point with Eddie. Nothing's convincing me otherwise, not even Timothy and his bald head.

Y'all. I'm tired of seeing you all cry, ngl. I know, I know, I was one of you last year but that's because Käärijä's song genuinely had class to me and wasn't as boring as Loreen's, and it made me so mad to see her win. Now that I'm on the other side though - as in satisfied to see that Nemo won because ngl, their vocal range spoke for itself, that was fucking insane of them in an extremely good way - I can see why all the Sweden fans laughed at you all when you kept on crying about Käärijä not having been the winner. We get it! Marko got the majority of televotes, and I applaud him for that! But see it like this: Without the jury, Isr*hell would've won, so Marko would still have been second place, no matter what. If anything, the jury saved our asses this year by saying "Alright, we love Nemo the most so they will get our points".

Be glad about that. And be respectful for once, for fuck's sake.

SHES A MANEATER DEEEEEEN DUN DOOOOO SHES A MAN EA- SHES A MAN EAT- SHES A MANEATER

This was my first year being at least semi-active in the tag and not just lurking and y'all made it fun for me when this season was definitely not giving and I got to enjoy cracking jokes and giving lukewarm takes. My particular tag shoutouts go to for a third time the person who dropped the season over Felicia saying something about vegan food, that one Cameron stan that at the beginning of the season called us all immature and excused Cameron's behavior on his assumed PTSD and how they knew veterans irl, and finally that one person who said America was ablist for calling Matt & Jag dumb. If any of you are reading this, you were the true gifts of the tag.

You ever look back in horror at all of the ninjago OCs you've abandoned over the years...

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos

Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3

I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.

So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔

The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.

(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)

All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.

So there you have it. 😊

Listening to an interview with my favorite bassist and he keeps talking about what it's like to be sick on the road and how that's changed as he's gotten older.

"It's tough touring these days! It used to be that getting a cold was no big deal, but now it seems to be a big deal."

SIR.

Could you (not) stop TOUCHING YOUR FUCKING NOSE RING while you talk about this, fuuuuuuu--
