Random Wren Infodump (BTC AU character)

Note: Honestly didn’t think I’d be making a post like this but jfc thoughts of Wren and BTC Springtrap are consuming my thoughts,,, so much,,, god I love them. But since I’ve barely talked about her, I doubt anybody who’s read the Messing With Remnant oneshots knows what I’m talking about SOOOOO I’M MAKING A POST ABOUT HER HEHEHEHAHAHAH

This might all end up kinda messy because I don’t really know how to organize posts like this so.. bare with me here please. 🧍‍♀️

Also!! Keep in mind—just in case the title was confusing—BTC IS NOT MY AU!! THIS IS AN AU OF THE BTC UNIVERSE, WHICH IS AN AU BASED OFF UCN BY THE LOVELY @skeletoninthemelonland !! ALL THE BTC STUFF I MAY MENTION IS OF THEIR CREATION WITH MY ONLY REAL ORIGINAL WORKS BEING MY LITTLE SCENARIOS/ONESHOTS THAT I WRITE BASED OFF IT AND MY OCs RIVER AND WREN!! THATS IT!! IF YOURE INTERESTED IN BTC GO SUPPORT SKELETON (STARBS) NOT ME!! <33

Anyways yeah uhhhh again I really don’t know how to set up posts like this so I’m probably just gonna start listing things off about Wren now until I run out of things to say that aren’t spoilers. 💔

And feel free to send asks if there’s anything more you wanna know!! :)

***

First off I need to get my River-related thoughts out of my system so I will say right now that River is NOT gonna like Wren at first. Not one bit. There’s a lore reason for why exactly that is which I can’t say much about yet other than the fact that she generally just has an… aversion to people who’ve worked for Fazbear Ent. that she can’t really explain (because she doesn’t remember exactly why she hates it and its employees or what led her to hate it), but regardless of how much—or rather how little—she holds a very deep-seated bias against them. And… yeah. She recognizes most of the characters in the Backstage as Fazbear characters, but the one she’s always known the least about (nothing at all, in fact) was Springtrap. Sooo… yeah…

And Wren’s just gonna be sitting here absolutely dumbfounded at all the dirty looks River will give her and be like “????? Motherfucker WHAT DID I DO????” and River will just not explain at all cause she doesn’t actually know her reasoning and also just likes to irritate her and Springtrap anyways. Just… Wren more so than Springtrap.

OKAY NEXT THING UHHH SO WREN IS A VAMPIRE BUT NOT IN THE WAY ONE WOULD EXPECT!!!

She does not evaporate in sunlight!! Much like the original interpretations of the vampire, she actually just gets really bad sunburns really easily. So it’s lucky for her that the Backstage doesn’t have a sun!

Not only that!! She also isn’t completely immortal! She can slow the aging process (she died at around 40-ish btw), but uhh she still died eventually regardless of what she did… but luckily for her (or at least that’s how she’d think of it), she didn’t pass on in quite so “boring” a way!!

Yeah no she got stuck with the lethal injection when she got found out for eating people… yeah…

Her job as a Fazbear employee didn’t pay very well so she figured she’d be able to get her blood fix by doing a side gig killing people for money.

On top of all that!! You guys remember the pfp below right? Well that’s her!! Except, that’s not actually what she looks like. 🤨

Art by @/way1past1cool on Insta btw! Follow him. 🫵

But yeah she does NOT actually look like that LMAAOAOAOAOAO

She dyes her hair and wears color contacts because this is for some reason what’s viewed as “conventionally attractive” in the U.S., which she uses to appear more “likeable”. As a result, she doesn’t have very great self-esteem, especially when it comes to her ACTUAL appearance… :,)

Her hair is actually black!! And her eyes are a hazel/gold-looking color!! She is pretty regardless of the form she takes tbh. 🥹

Which reminds me!! She can shapeshift! But only into certain things and for a certain amount of time (which isn’t very long tbh).

Animals she can turn into include: bat, cat, and crow.

Yep! That’s it!

She can also change her size/height, similar to the way Nezuko and other demons do in Demon Slayer. But again, only for a short amount of time, as she uses up a lot of energy doing so.

And she actually LOST most of these abilities when she passed on. The only reason she can still do smaller things like turn into a bat and change her height, is because she was always more “spirit” than human, even though she mostly WAS human. Which I know doesn’t make any sense when I explain it that way but I don’t know how else to explain it. 🧍‍♀️

The easiest thing I can compare it to is the human-fae situation, where it’s allegedly possible that some people are naturally more in tune with spiritual stuff because of their ancestors potentially having relations with fae folk.

Not saying that definitely happened btw!!! I just think the idea is really funny so I’m gonna say one of Wren’s ancestors was an Energy Vampire (actual thing) who got with a vampire-vampire because I think that’s silly. ☝️

Admittedly I ignored the issue of genetics and stuff when I first created Wren due to the fact that she was originally made as a joke so some of her background as a vampire might change at some point tbh. 😭

Anyways (yes there’s more), despite her background, Wren’s actually a very sweet person! She’s nice to pretty much everyone, and just comes off as a little… odd sometimes because she’s always sleep-deprived, and she’s never really been very good at concealing her emotions (and she’s almost always pretty sad 🥲). She doesn’t know if people are oblivious cause they’re weirded out by her or if they just don’t say anything about it, but she’s not gonna ask.

SPRINGTRAP THOUGH

She feels most comfortable around him and River (even though River kinda hates her to her core at first 😔).

However, once River inevitably gets used to her, their relationship will be pretty similar to that of River and her mother/Wren and her daughter.

Oh yeah forgot to mention Wren’s daughter is dead and already fully moved on like a really long time ago whoops. 💔

However, because neither of them remember the specifics of their past lives, their attitude towards the feeling at first is kinda just like:

“On second thought I guess I’m bored of hating you you’re kinda chill :)”

And Wren never disliked River, she just always found the hatred/passive-aggressiveness really strange so she kinda just tried her best not to irritate her because she kinda ALREADY felt bad for doing something wrong (even though she had no clue what she even did).

But yeah, once River kinda gets used to her being around she’s randomly gonna be like “you’re okay I guess… I’m not good with apologies can we just like- watch MLP or smth-”

(Wren’s favorite of the mane six is Applejack btw. If you even CARE /lh)

As for her relationship with Springtrap… well, based on the art you can probably already tell she has the absolute worst taste in men (Mari is projecting).

She won’t really fall for him IMMEDIATELY when she meets him though buuuuuut she’ll get attached pretty quickly. 💀

ESPECIALLY considering he and River are probably like the first people she’s ever met that wouldn’t actually care that much if they knew she was a literal monster.

In fact, I love to think Springtrap would be utterly BAFFLED at the idea of Wren of all people being self-conscious about how she looks and just say some shit like “???? No offense but???? Can you even see me right now????? Do you need contacts????? I can make you glasses?????? Because???? I am a 7-foot-tall walking corpse??????”

I can’t get into specifics, but let’s just say their first encounter will be somewhat similar in nature to his first encounter with River, whereas he’ll try to frighten her into staying away from him. Except, unlike River—who KNEW that was what he was doing—Wren will not understand at all; she will NOT get the hint until super far into the story and randomly think “…oh. he was mad at ME. i- wow.”

ALSO unlike River—who just kinda follows Springtrap around because she’s secretly afraid to talk to anyone besides him or Tom—Wren will kinda be hopping back and forth between hanging out with them and interacting with the other residents because she wants to know all about this realm and how it works. :)

She and River are very similar in that their curiosity often gets the best of them, it’s just that River’s a lot worse at interacting with… normal people, than Wren is. 💀

Wren also happens to have a passion for engineering and mechanics!! However, that’s another thing she feels really self-conscious about; because although she’d gone to college to take courses, she was never actually able to get a job in the field because of all the interviewers’ sexist views.

So yeah, even though she KNOWS they were wrong, she couldn’t actually do anything about it and unfortunately had to settle for switching between entry-level positions at Fazbear Ent.

This is something she only vaguely remembers, so although she doesn’t know exactly WHY, she’ll often keep away from Springtrap’s stuff at first because although she’ll definitely be tempted to offer help, she’ll end up feeling really weird and icky about it without knowing why. :(

But on a much lighter note!! She’ll feel a LOT more comfortable with herself around Springtrap in particular, and although it doesn’t exactly change how insecure she is, she definitely enjoys herself a lot more around him and River (and Tom) than most other people. So even though she’ll be smiling and friendly with pretty much everyone, it’ll be like night and day when one compares her smiling around others and smiling around Springtrap.

“But how will Wren handle blood cravings when she arrives in Backstage and nobody has blood? 🙋”

Don’t worry about it.

(she’s gonna suffer in silence until someone finally notices she’s at her breaking point because she refuses to just walk up to somebody and be like “you guys know where I can find blood I kinda need to drink it to stay alive”)

As nice of a person as she is though, she is very okay with evil deeds and murder because she has stopped caring at this point. 👍

Aaaannnd I think I’ve run out of things to say for now BUT I ASSURE YOU THERES MORE!! I JUST CANT REMEMBER RN!! SO PLEASE SEND ME ASKS I’D LOVE TO RAMBLE ABOUT HER MORE AS WELL AS RIVER!! THEY ARE MY BABIES!!

22 for Angel, 2 for Joseph, 8 for Cirillo, 12 for Rocio, and 33 in general? sorry if this is too many :)!

ok these actually turned out pretty long I now realize so I’m putting them under a read more

22. if they were to have a social media profile, what would it look like? the username, bio, type of thing they’d post about, etc.

I kind of want to say he’d like be a dedicated fan of 2000s video games like half life resident evil etc who’d use discord (real name as his username except when he changes it for jokes, pixel art he made himself pfp) and sometimes Reddit (default username, customized Reddit avatar pfp). This is only tangentially related but I also think he would like vocaloid a lot

2. what is their favourite article of clothing that they own?

Hmmm I don’t think he pays much attention to clothing outside of whether it’s comfortable or not (also I don’t want to think about what they wear in Reles so painful to design futuristic outfits that also look like people would actually wear them 😞) I think he really likes his hairstyle though if that counts he thinks it looks cool

8. what is the most interesting thing that they regularly carry on their person?

I don’t think he does this anymore since he’s like broke and all but when he still lived in Avarrecia he used to always like carry different small gifts to give to people. Also I think he’s the type of person where if you gave him a good luck charm he’d keep it with him constantly.

12. do they tend to hold a lot of tension in their body? if so, where?

Probably lol I think in her arms (so tensed) and hands (which would be like clenched). Can you have tension in your eyes from like staring at things. Does that make any sense. Ok well in this universe you can and she does

33. when creating your character, did you take inspiration from characters in other media? or just other media in general? name them, if any!

these albums (and a few more but these were the first that came to mind + probably the most important)

witch hat atelier :)

a dnd podcast that will remain nameless :|

muppets most wanted completely unrionically. Ok a little ironically. Ok completely ironically it was an actual influence though

Eberron: Rising from the Last War

Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Community

This One Piece fan art by heyitscorinth on twitter

Any and all cool art I’ve seen of the sun, moon, ocean, or night sky in the past 2 years

Many, many other songs that I don’t feel like listing (I actually wasn’t influenced by other media That much tbh, with the exception of a lot of separate songs that like gave me an idea or reminded me of a concept or whatever, so that’s like my primary inspiration I guess)

meet the blogger tag game

tagged by @balloonwhisk! sorry I saw this so late, my presence here is very inconsistent

1. how/why did you choose your url

It was one of the nicknames of my old cat and the first thing I thought of when I set up this tumblr on a whim a looong time ago. I never changed it

2. any side blogs? if you have them, name them and explain why you have them

My only active sideblog is @bidonicart where I post my art (duh). I used to keep a studyblr called @trashbagstudyspo as an older, comeback uni student, and then there was a short lived experiment called @linguastraniera where I posted the most awkward pictures i could find in the textbooks at my uni’s language learning center.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

2008, baby

4. do you have queue tag?

It’s just Q, or q, depending on whether the device I’m using capitalizes by default or not. Kinda hate that there’s no xkit on mobile and I have to do that manually tbh

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

Tumblr was very new at that point and there was a lot of buzz about microblogging, and I thought I might have given it a try. There was virtually no fandom (it was still mostly on livejournal and message boards and I myself kept my fandom activity to lj for a while, with little overlap), no tagging system, a lot of hipster stuff

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Pingu screaming internally is a state of mind

7. why did you choose your header?

Because I care about my brand

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

I have no idea because once a post really blows up I mute it via xkit... I *think* it might be the one with the card saying “A girlfriend is a sister you choose” that I commented with a gif of Jaime Lannister laughing (probably a bts shot with NCW in costume). My best on bidonicart is probably this one

9. how many mutuals do you have?

Hard to tell! Please tunglr do the math for me

10. how many followers do you have?

about 2700

11. how many people do you follow?

circa 1600, but I always see the same few :D I’ve been here so long that most of the blog I follow or that follow me are inactive at this point

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

Gurl I shitposted before the internet was even a thing

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

Definitely not as much as I used to, I only really find it usable on desktop, and I am using my computer less often these days because I’m mostly on the ipad, but the ipad tumblr app is... not great. Generally I just miss the quick tag function. I hate not tagging stuff, but I also hate having to open the post to do so, you know?

14. have you ever had a fight/argument with another blog? who won?

I think I only ever had a real fight last year and honestly I don’t think I “won”, I just disengaged from some incredibly deranged arguments and went on with my life.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

You mean emotional blackmail

16. do you like tag games?

Yes but I never know who to tag and lately I’ve been missing most of them because I’m not here much and I don’t have a lot of time. Thankfully I’m on sick leave today lol

17. do you like ask games?

Yes but when I do them they tend to flop lmao

18. do you have a crush on a mutual?

Not really, no! Lots of people I like but not romantically

Chickening out of naming names I’m tagging whoever wants to do this, I’m trying to cut back on coffee to give my stomach some rest but that makes me sleepy and I can’t make decisions byyeeee

general blog ask game

tagged by @ourlordapollo (:

tagging anyone who wants to do it

under a readmore bc it’s a little long

1. Why did you choose your url?

I was very into gravity falls at the time (especially loved the character Ford Pines) and once I thought of the pun I was basically obligated. it’s a pun on the last name but also on the “pining for the fjords” line in the dead parrot sketch from Monty Python’s flying circus

2. Any side blogs?

a handful, though a fair bit have fallen out of use

I’ll plug my art blog at @456art though

also have an oc aesthetic blog I sporadically reblog to

the rest are mostly for archiving/curating posts relevant to specific interests

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

def since 2012, maybe late 2011

4. Do you have a queue tag?

not really, I rarely queue posts unless I’m trying to post art at optimum times or am going to be offline for a while

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

a friend recommended it to me (bc I was really into doctor who and Sherlock fhfhghg)

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I like Ford Pines. I am trans. also I’ve had a wonky looking Ford as my icon for a long time and I don’t like changing icons/uns much bc I don’t want to confuse people

7. Why did you choose your header?

I don’t even have a header unless I do and forgot lmao

8. What is your post with the most notes?

afaik it’s a post I made that’s a photo of a weird store window in a local dying (now dead, press F) mall, hit about 20k which is Wild

though tbh my post about therapy being useful even if it can’t change a situation was still gaining traction when I turned off notifs, so it may be more by now.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

no idea lmao

10. How many followers?

1491 tho no idea how many are dead or bots

11. How many blogs do you follow?

1171

that’s a lot, I should probably clear out dead blogs

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

absolutely

13. How often do you use tumblr?

too much. I have occasionally hit post limit, but only a couple of times

14. Have you ever had a fight/argument with another blog?

depends on how you count? I’ve def reblogged posts with counterarguments or had people argue with my posts, but I rarely go back and forth, and then usually only a single reply to a reply. I don’t get much engagement, and I only tend to write responses to good faith arguments or when I think the audience could benefit from seeing my reply. otherwise I just ignore or block when people try to start shit

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

hate them. anything that tries to make you feel guilty if you don’t reblog is shit. if the content of the post itself is worth spreading I Will reblog around that sort of comment or make my own post. have unfollowed people for posting too many of these before and will again

milder pressure to reblog I may still reblog but I’ll tag it as reblog bait

16. Do you like tag games?

if I’m in the mood! I don’t always do them if tagged, but clearly I do them sometimes lol

I don’t super like tagging anyone in them though, don’t want anyone to feel pressured, but I don’t mind if people tag me so long as they aren’t bothered if I don’t respond

17. Do you like ask games?

depends, I do like ask lists that I can opt into by reblogging, but I’m not big on chain asks. I also often forget I reblogged an ask game list so please include the question itself and not just the number if you wanna ask me

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

idk about famous, but I do have a few mutuals who are pretty well known artists (:

19. Do you have a crush on any of your mutuals?

nah, though you guys are all very cool. I have a tendency to latch onto specific users sometimes but it’s generally a “wow this person is so awesome I want them to like me” not so much a crush, though I don’t generally act on this bc I can get hung up on getting their approval and make myself anxious about the opinion of someone I barely know, which is not great

Get to Know Me

I was tagged by the loveliest @prince-of-elsinore for this get to know me tag game :) I’m going to mostly answer these questions as being about this blog, even though it’s a sideblog. For the folks I tagged, there’s a clean version of the questions below the cut if you’d like to answer!

1. why did you choose your url?

I have a deep fondness for the song There Goes the Neighbourhood by Sheryl Crow

2. any sideblogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

This is a sideblog :D I started it first as a place to dump posts that might be more controversial so I could get into tumblr arguments without alienating or exhausting a bunch of followers, back when I was a bit more self-conscious. I barely used it for years until I tripped head-first (back?) into the SPN fandom and was using it as a place to drop a ton of wincest posts as fic-inspo. Eventually it started to take on a bit of it’s own identity

@coldtomyflash is my sideblog for DCTV / arrowverse on the CW. It was my first sideblog and I created it so that my main didn’t become completely overrun with coldflash (the flash / captain cold) when that became my hyperfixation several years ago. still post from time to time and there’s an AO3 pseud with all my coldflash writing that is predominately connected to that blog. at some point i’m gonna join a new fandom and have to decide which pseud to post under...

@forthebothofus is a new and not-much-used sideblog I parked the url for in case I ended up getting really into Walker (CW). I’ve reblogged some stuff but I only have one foot in that content right now so idk where it will go, if anywhere.

@phynali is my main

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

since sometime in 2012, if not a bit earlier

4. do you have a queue tag?

not on here that i can recall (i tag very sporadically on here? it’s still partly a place for me to dump every SPN post i think looks pretty) but on @phynali it’s #thank queue for coming

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

i explained why i started this sideblog up there, so to explain why i joined / started @phynali: it was for fandom. livejournal content was drying up and i couldn’t find new dedicated forums or communities, but i started noticing people link their tumblrs on AO3. i found out an irl friend who wrote fic had a tumblr so I asked her to show me the ropes

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

the first theme i setup for this sideblog was all winter imagery, maybe because of my love for captain cold or maybe because it was mid-winter in canada when i set it up (who can say). i haven’t changed the image because i’m both lazy and resistant to change

7. why did you choose your header?

brb checking what my current header is because i think i actually did change it recently -

ahhh right okay so there’s this sort of neon aesthetic i’m into related to an original writing project of mine called Rest for the Wicked and this is one of the images i dragged up for vibe i’m going for with one of the characters

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

on this blog? i honestly don’t know, i mostly reblog and add commentary so tracking notes on original posts doesn’t mean much. on @phynali i know that my post arguing against exclusionary bullshit when the ace discourse was in its heyday on here got 10k notes in the space of a day. i can’t claim all the notes though; i was arguing against the OP because she was spewing pastel-coloured bullshit, and the post blew up because because my friend moderated a well-followed discourse blog and reblogged my argumentative reply.

related to SPN, my post with the most notes is likely my one about Sam and bodily autonomy

9. how many mutuals do you have?

do... do people count??? i have no idea?

10. how many followers do you have?

on which blog...? @phynali has 1100+ but this blog has under 30, and tbh I’m kinda shocked it has any, given the lack of original posts or anything approaching a tag system. it’s all added commentary and reblogged art and somehow y’all are into that and i am delighted

11. how many people do you follow?

121 and it’s. too many. just. too many. i need to cut that down. i try to keep it under 100 and this is the most i’ve ever followed.

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

on @phynali yes, numerous times, mostly about my friend being the zodiac killer

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

there used to be days where i was on all day every day with it the background. now i’m mentally healthier and my adhd is medicated and being treated so i have a bit more control over my social media usage. i’d say i’m on most days 1-2 times (morning and evening), but whether i just pop in to check if i have messages or whether i stick around and scroll varies depending on what else i’m doing that day.

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

hahahahahahahahahahahha -

uhm. yes. note what this sideblog was made for in the first place: an easier space to argue with people (ironic that it’s the only blog i’ve ever had where i haven’t got into an argument with someone).

i’m a scrappy little shit and at any given time you can assume i’m actively restraining myself from getting into unnecessary internet arguments. i literally got off facebook because i got a reputation for take-down arguments in the comments of my friend’s posts, back in like 2010.

i don’t always win, but i either learn something, change my mind, and concede, or else i’m going to say i won because i’m stubborn like that

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

utter garbage. i hate guilt appeals. the surefire way to get me to not do something is to try and guilt me. i will bite off my nose to spite my face before i allow someone to guilt-trip me

16. do you like tag games?

i do! they’re often fun :)

17. do you like ask games?

i also do! assuming we mean the ask lists you can reblog, that is. except they’re often very horny, romantic, or deeply personal? or maybe it’s just that the people i follow reblog those ones the most frequently. either way i don’t reblog them much because i’m seldom interested in the questions listed

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i’ve been here near a decade and still don’t know what constitutes fame on this website. there’s like 5 blogs i think of as tumblr famous whereas the rest of us are just chilling in this amorphous space.

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

a crush-crush? no. a writer-crush? @lovetincture‘s writing is so beautiful i want to drown myself in it and they’re a good part of the reason i dipped my toe onto twitter (at which point my adhd promptly sucked me in because wow that website is constant stimulation just like this one). so i guess that counts?

20. tags?

if these folks are interested (no pressure though ofc): i know you already tagged @fallcolorspringrapid so how about @lovetincture, @redmyeyes (who recently posted this fic y’all should go read), and @digitalmeowmix :)

clean copy of questions to copy/paste below the cut

Got tagged by @starsandskies, @elveny, @kunstpause, @noire-pandora and @barbex for this little game. Thank you, peeps! ♥︎

Not sure who would like to do this one, so please feel free to grab a tag and @ me in your post. I'd be happy to see it.

Shall we?

1: Why did you choose your url?

I created this Tumblr mainly because I wanted to get into the Dragon Age fandom and since I had a huge love for all things elven, the current URL is the first thing that came to mind. It worked for a good long while for me but I'm getting to that point in time when I feel like the URL doesn't represent me or the blog anymore. I was never good at sticking with one online name and I used to change them every other year depending on what current obsession I had (e.g. Lord of the Rings, Angel Sanctuary, Star Wars, etc.) Sadly, I haven't come up with a new name that feels "right", so to say.

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

This Tumblr started as a side blog but I transformed into my main about 3 months into using the platform again. I was using my DA blog a lot more than the original writing blog I made because I was still getting accustomed to writing in English and because I had nothing profoundly important to share. My frivolous little fanfics had become much more important to me. Also, I'm too lazy and unfocused to manage several blogs at once. I'm even incapable of maintaining a presence on Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram at the same time ^^;

3: How long have you been on Tumblr?

This blog was created in August 2019 but I had been on Tumblr for a while before that. I had a writing/literature blog from 2007 until around 2014. I deleted that one in an attempt to get into the Twitter game (I really can just focus on one medium at a time, it's ridiculous) and because I had a Wordpress blog for my professional work.

4: Do you have a queue tag?

No, I only apply tags for self-reblogs that I queue up.

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I mainly came back to Tumblr for the fandom things and because, ultimately, Tumblr makes it so much easier for me to post my work and thoughts. Also, I get to connect with people over shared interests and I love that.

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

As with my blog names, I'm super inconsistent with my icons. Right now, it's a portrait of my elven ranger I play in Baldur's Gate 3. And because I'm lazy, I modeled her after my Lavellan. :p

7: Why did you choose your header?

The header stems from some amazing screenarchery @iawv has done for me in DAI (Thanks again for being so patient with me!). All of the fighting shots are so dynamic and colorful, I love them so much. Please check out her other works, too.

8: What’s your post with the most notes?

Not so long ago, the very talented @pauvre-lola did this commission piece of Solas and Lavellan for me. With approx. 500 notes, it's the most popular post in the blog right now. Please check out her work, she does some awesome things!

9: How many mutuals do you have?

Oh dear, a handful? I think? I never counted the number of people I interact with, I'm just glad that I do.

10: How many followers do you have?

Currently, there are 995 people following me around. Not that this number accounts for anything on this site. Still, I might do a giveaway when I hit 1,000 followers.

11: How many people do you follow?

337. Which is more than I thought tbh. I cleaned out a few blogs at the start of the year in the hopes the algorithm would start showing me posts by mutuals again instead of hiding them from me. It didn't work that well. Tjaa...

12: Have you ever made a shitpost?

No, I'm not a funny person.

13: How often do you use Tumblr each day?

Usually, I check Tumblr several times a day and reblog something at least 2 or 3 times. I did go on a semi-hiatus because I was too busy lately but Tumblr is the social media I use the most.

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

No, I'm too peace-loving for that.

15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I only reblog stuff I like or deeply care about, sorry. Also, I have this weird thing that when someone tells me "I need/should/have" to do anything, my brain instantly decides that this is the one thing I sure as hell won't be doing.

16: Do you like tag games?

Like them? I LOVE them! This post is proof of that. Especially the writing/art tags like WIP Wednesday and Six Sentence Sunday help me to stay motivated and I get to read and see other people's work and it's *the best*.

17: Do you like ask games?

Sure do! Although I feel like I don't always have something interesting to say. I love people's answers to asks about their OCs because it's amazing how clearly they can picture them in their minds. I can never do that (rather, I discover facets of them as I write a scene, etc)!

19: Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Nope. But I love you all platonically! <3

And that's all I got for you today. Stay safe!

blog tag

tagged by @from-nova, @woodchoc-magnum, and @skylessnights 🥰🥰

001. why did you choose your url? i like movies and i grew up moving around the world a lot, so cinematicnomad made sense to me. also i think when i first started my blog i thought it was going to be like, way more of an aesthetic blog? and like, high-minded literature and such lol. if you go look at my very first few posts they’re all, like, faulkner quotes and keats poems etc

002. any side blogs? yeah, i’ve got a NSFW 18+ side blog that i occasionally reblog stuff to and i’ve got another sideblog that i only use to test gif issues (like, if a gifset isn’t showing up on my dash, i use that sideblog to figure out which gif is causing the issue and avoid clogging up my followers dashboards)

003. how long have you been on tumblr? lol, i’ve officially been on tumblr for a decade as of april 2021

004. do you have a queue tag? noooo, i don’t use the queue function for this blog. if you see me posting/reblogging content it’s bc i’m manually doing that

005. why did you start your blog in the first place? it was finals week of my sophomore year of undergrad? so i was procrastinating working on some essays. i think i started seeing a lot of people linking to their tumblrs on a graphics forum i used to be on so i kind of followed them from there.

006. why did you choose your icon/pfp? i think for the first few years i was on tumblr, my tumblr icon were pictures of me? but then i was playing around in photoshop back in 2013 and made this icon of dylan o’brien (i think i might have been following a tutorial? can’t remember). and i just haven’t changed my icon since ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

007. why did you choose your header? ah, it’s a photo i took in london back in summer 2013 from the balcony of the tate modern aka my favorite art museum in the world. i honestly don’t care about my layout on mobile that much so i’ve never bothered to change it.

008. what’s your post with the most notes? UGH it’s a post i made where i collected a bunch of screenshots of mara wilson tweets when she started railing against 50 shades of grey lol. it was HILARIOUS but that post now has almost 950k+ notes and every now and then it goes viral again and my activity page dies. (also HILARIOUSLY that post went so viral IMMEDIATELY that mara wilson actually??? got an influx of new followers on twitter and made a couple tweets in the days after being like “oh hi tumblr” and “hey dad i’m like HUGE on tumblr right now”)

009. how many mutuals do you have? like 90~ (probably a little more, bc i know i follow mutuals sideblogs)

010. how many followers do you have? ah, like, 4k+. but honestly i’ve been on here for so long i’m sure half of those blogs are dead or inactive tbh

011. how many people do you follow? i follow around 250—anymore and i don’t really recognize blogs on my dash which i find stressful lol

012. have you ever made a shitpost? i mean i think most of my personal life posts are probably considered shit posts

013. how often do you use tumblr each day? i literally don’t close tumblr and twitter on my laptop so they’re open all day. and especially since i’m still working remotely i’m on it way more often than when i actually went into the office.

014. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? i remember once when i was in the suits fandom some BNF found my liveblogging and encouraged their followers to attack me bc i didn’t like mike and rachel together. but that was ages ago.

015. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts? i don’t reblog them lol. tumblr is not where i go for my news and i’m happy to keep it that way

016. do you like tag games? i mean i’m doing one right now so....i think we can infer how i feel about it

017. do you like ask games? i feel like this is the exact same question

018. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? i mean @woodchoc-magnum is 911 fan twitter famous—i have a blast sending her tweets i find of people talking about her fics lol. on tumblr, i dunno, i have a couple mutuals with some big gif blogs,

019. do you have a crush on a mutual? i mean there are plenty of mutuals i adore but like an ACTUAL crush? no

tagging: @crazyassmurdererwall, @tattooedsiren, @bisexualbucky, @webbgirl34, @landofalwayswinter, @lupismaris, and anyone else who wants to do this (for real! if you want to do it, feel free and say i tagged you!)
