My totk polycube (more details and revisions below, i'm not remaking the picture, I already id'd it rip)
I also like the idea that Link, Zelda, Mipha, and Urbosa used to have a cube, likely of a different make-up. Big fan of cubes. Also while I don't see Zelda and Sidon being a thing, I could def see Yona and Link being a thing. What kind of thing? *shrugs and gestures vaguely*
Do we want my hcs on their relationships? I already put a read more so it's not like it's hurting anybody... Alright! You've convinced me.
Zelink: By qpr in this case specifically it's like, besties who hold hands, sleep in the same bed, go on dates (usually revolving around one of their special interests, but sometimes just a picnic or trip), and probably kiss sometimes. Hyrule is super excited about their hero and princess being in a relationship, Hyrule doesn't need to know the details. They do have separation anxiety though, especially on Link's end bc Zelda seems to disappear every time they get separated but they're all very understanding about this. Probably could have marked their line as state recognized qpr bc they probably get married for political reasons.
Sidlink: They freak it nasty style but are also big cuddlers and acts of service and quality time type of people. Muzu is the only one outside the cube to clock them for a while and he's a little mad about it, but Yona and Zelda step in to gaslight him so hard so he feels like he can't say anything.
Zelyona: a product of hanging out with sidlink (bc sidlink already knew each other) and realizing 'oh that person is super chill and very nice and also pretty??? Like really pretty??? By the goddess this can't be happening...' but in general an easy relationship, an easy love. They also probably freak it nasty style. I think they do less of the romance stuff (I hc Zelda as aromantic so...)
Sidona: Childhood friends married for political convenience but they were never against it. Like 'omg I get to marry my bestie for the good of the Domain? Pog.' Another easy relationship but whereas I think zelyona would fall, sidona just kind of naturally slipped into love and was content with that.
Yoink (ik that's not their name but I like it): They both just want their partners to be happy and bond well over that. I think they do casual affection in a platonic way but are not against threesomes or foursomes. I guess I could have put them as qpr bbs.
Sidon&Zelda (idk if they even have a name, pls lmk): They are the most platonic out of the group and it takes them a little longer to get comfortable with each other (not that they were UNcomfortable, just that they didn't know each other as well and mostly they were making time for each other to hang out with their partners so they didn't see each other as much until they started going on group dates). Sidon gives Zelda access to historical records and texts and Zelda teaches Sidon about technology that Purah makes. They enjoy making fun of Link together, and on occasion Yona, but let's be honest, Link is nearly feral so there's a lot more to make fun of.
Politics:
Sidon and Yona have to go to all of the political stuff together they way link and zelda do but it's really funny when both pairs are at the same political thing and every other political figure is like side eyeing their group trying to figure out if cheating is happening or what bc why is Sir Link in Prince Sidon's lap and why is Queen Zelda slow dancing with Lady Yona but the four of them just gaslight everyone. The people who know them know, but anyone who's not close just has to sit there guessing. It's kind of an open secret in their circles, and wouldn't be a problem in general if it weren't for the fact that one of them is a king and another a queen so neither of them or their official partners can technically be consorts of each other or in general really.
Sidon can still talk to Link the way he always has bc he's always been a little homoerotic about it (and they literally put up a statue of Link riding Sidon in town square so I think maybe Zora are just LIKE THAT TM) so they all just mimic how he speaks and blame it on the Zora-Hylian cultural exchange. Pretty much everyone in the Rito village knows, though. Tulin might have let it slip, but they super don't care so it's not a problem.
I may eventually write pieces of this idk.

Okay so the other night I had a weird dream that I could only interpret as Mukuro in Junko disguise talking too and being concerned for Ibuki. And I also ship Mukuro x Sayaka So my brain, incapable of multishipping, decided that all three of them should make out. Also I checked and I could only find like one other piece of this ship so once more I dive into rarepair hell. I already really like the idea of Ikuzono, so adding Ibuki in is a recipe for good brain chemicals. Also my friend came up with the shipname Mikuzono

MAYA MY SWEETS !! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و i wanted to pop in here and ask a lil question for yousss cuz im curious !!
do you have any selfships ?? if so, what are the shipnames ?? i wanna know all about them if you do !! <333
hey hey lene!! I usually don't talk about my selfships bc I think about being judged but yes I have some!! (I'll give my favs with whys then the others will just be the ship names <3)
MHA
MAYOTA (me and aizawa!!)
oh lord I could talk about him for HOURS. we have the same birthday which I absolutely love. I met him at a hero convention, which he didn't want to even go to, but present mic dragged him to it. He wasn't getting many at his booth but I stopped by because I was sooooo excited!!! (he is my favorite hero after all) He was surprised I knew so much about him bc he's an underground hero, but I have my ways hehe. I gave him my number and he told me not to get my hopes up. It didn't really matter because now there's a ring on mah finger :D
HAIKYUU
ATSUMAYA (me and atsumu)
We met at a college party. I came with my friend as a plus one. We hit it off pretty well even though Tsumu had one too many drinks. Out of nowhere he just blurts, "You look like my future wife." Of course I didn't say anything cuz I was trying to process that sentence. He tried to cover it up saying he was drunk out of his mind and didn't mean it. I was curious as to whether he meant it or not so I went along with it, "I guess that makes you my future husband."
MAYAJIMA (sounds so silly... me and ushijima)
I was studying abroad in Japan and he was impressed with my Japanese skills. Since he's a pro volleyball player he asked me to teach him English, so he'd be well equipped with helpful words and phrases. I am not a great teacher though so we both struggled lmaooo.
SATAYA (me and tendou)
We met in high school!! He's just so funny and my kind of person. Understands my humor and we both loved teasing Shirabu and Semi :3 I just know we'd get into all kinds of trouble. Also I taste test his new chocolate flavors!!!
MAYOOMI (me and omi)
Gosh I was a pest to him at first. Annoyed him to no end I tell you. It was unintentional in the beginning, but soon teasing and messing with him became my love language. I knew he was okay with it from the way his ears would turn red. Most of his face was covered by his mask but I could still tell when he was flustered. Did I mention he's blocked and unblocked my number on numerous occasions? Yeah he loves me lol.
KNY
TOMIYA (me and giyuu)
He's just too pretty and it was hard to talk to him bc I felt like I couldn't!! I approached him first (even though I was scared) and that's when we started talking. I thought we would end up being just really good friends but he was on the same page as me.
OBAYA (me and obanai)
I didn't really talk to him because he was closed off and close to mitsuri. When shinobu was treating me once; she was talking to someone I couldn't see who it was, but I knew the voice. (I was only half conscious) It turns out he'd come to see if I was alright after my mission. He started having Kaburamaru leave me little gifts he'd find during missions or make. One day when Kaburamaru had brought me something I gave the snake a love letter to give to Obanai.
JJK
MAYOSO (me and choso)
he wanted to kill me at first :((( cuz i'm just a human :(( BUT something about me just reminded him of what it's like to have a family which is why he kept me around and ended up falling in love. He liked that warm feeling in his heart even though he couldn't put a name to that feeling. (i'll give him a hint: it starts with an L and ends with an E)
NANAYA (me and nanami)
Nanami is such a sweetheart. We met on a dating app 0-0 yeah... he was lonely and I was too. I told him how I thought I'd end up getting catfished bc there was absolutely no way some as fine as Nanami would actually be interested in me! But yes, we go on many more dates after our first little dinner date.
Honorable mentions:
MAYASHA (me and sasha braus)
ERAYA (me and eren)
CONAYA (me and connie)
MAYANTA (me and sero)
MAYAKEN (me and draken)
MAYO (me and ryo kurokiba)
there are more I just can't think of them off the top of my head :P

A couple of replies with fandom stuff, then a couple of twst replies.
irregardlessly-tish asked:
A friend message me "YOU FOLLOW THE LEVI X GRISHA PERSON" and I had no clue what they were talking about but then they showed me the two pictures you drew of Levi and Grisha lol. It made me laugh a lot. Then I helped them found the uncensor version of one of the drawings in your pixiv since the link to twitter seem to be broken (I'm a great friend I know/j). I guess you could say they are big fans of your rarepair work!
LEVI X GRISHA PERSON AAAHH 😭 It’s always so funny to learn how people are referring to us; I was the Zevi artist, the Shroudcest artist… For some reason, being a Guriri (wow Grisha’s and Levi’s shipname is cute, I completely forgot about it) artist feels like such a high honour lol Especially because I had no idea there was someone out there invested in this ship. Your friend’s taste is excellent. A huge thank you to them for enjoying our stuff, and a huge thank you to you for helping to find the uncensored version. You really are a great friend hehe.
It’s honestly a shame that even the pixiv version is still censored (albeit not cropped like the tumblr version), because you can’t really post uncensored stuff there… So now only a few people who had saved our snk smut back when it was posted on our now-deleted twitter have it :(
(it’s a bit embarrassing looking back at those sketches and seeing all the mistakes though, yikes)
Anonymous asked:
I want to shake antis by the shoulders and scream at them all the time cause I see them being sooo unhealthy with themselves, and I've BEEN there I know what they are doing and I know it is just going to get them hurt with the same train wreck I got myself in!!
It's the whole problem with black and white thinking where you go "people treat incest shippers like satan himself, so I cannot accidentally enjoy it or I would be evil incarnate too, and adopted/step is the same thing, so I cannot accidentally like that, and found family is basically the same as adopted, so I have to avoid that, and character A called character B his bro one time, so..." that thinking pattern does not have a stopping point!!!!!! It is so unhealthy!!!!!!!!
And then people realize they can't stop themselves from enjoying unhealthy ships, and instead of separating fiction from reality, they just excuse everything abusive about the ship like it is fine and normal behavior because they cannot accept themselves enjoying something that is remotely problematic. It is so much more likely to get people hurt than just enjoying the porn of some fake brothers fucking 😭
Anon! First of all, sorry for replying late; we received your ask about a week ago but I didn’t have enough time to properly address it. Second of all, thank you for talking about it and sharing your experience.
It’s just like you said; people really don’t want to get ridiculed or hated, especially younger people, therefore, they are afraid of liking stuff that is even slightly problematic. And for some of them, if they don’t want their so-called friends to suspect them loving problematic stuff, they’ll act even more aggressive than they should to overcompensate. I feel like when it comes to antis who talk about us specifically, the most vocal and persistent ones are those whose friends called them out for following my accounts or liking my drawings. And this is honestly both sad and pathetic at the same time; I cannot imagine how bad of a headspace this might be. I don’t pity them though lol
We always talk about it, but still: this is a game you can’t win because the rules are always changing. The only thing that never changes is that there is no nuance, once the crowd decide that the ship is bad, it’s bad. Starting out with the basics, age gaps and incest are bad, right? Right. But what if the characters aren’t canonically related but could be interpreted as brothers? Then it’s still bad, right? But what if they aren’t at all brotherly, but one of them expressed that they want to do bad things to the other? Sounds bad, right? And thus, the only type of dynamic that exists is a romanticised version of a perfect gay couple: they are equal in every way, they love each other, they are SUCH DORKS together who fit perfectly to any “redraw this as your ship” meme that’s the hottest thing these days, they don’t have arguments, they don’t have misunderstanding and rough moments. Their personalities, everything that made their relationship unique or interesting completely disappears and smoothes out, and after that it’s not even a ship, it’s just a nice blend that is perfect for consumption because it doesn’t irritate your teeth, your throat, or your stomach. It’s tasteless, it’s boring, it’s nothing, and it’s not about the characters, it’s about deciding which two characters are unproblematic enough to be transformed into blorbos, and if they have some problematic elements in-canon, it’s okay, we’ll just erase those because being unproblematic doesn’t really matter. What matters is to act in a way that doesn’t go against what the rest of them are doing, because otherwise you’re making people uncomfortable, and if they are uncomfortable with you, they feel morally correct for attacking you.
It’s never about characters. It’s always about control, about cliques, about bullying and making everyone afraid to have an actual opinion. It’s about instilling in people’s mind that attacking strangers on the internet makes you a cool person because you are simultaneously a rebel for being so ballsy and brave, and a saint for having moral standards so high that you can’t stomach bad things even if they are fictional.
Sometimes people just have different ships and that’s okay. Sometimes people don’t have any ships and don’t understand the shipping culture, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is to feel entitled to this control over the way others consume media and interact with it.
Because it makes the fandom experience boring at best and unbearable at worst.
Sorry, I digress lol What I wanted to say is that you are right, it messes with people’s brains. And it is much more unhealthy than fantasising about the things that are 100% fictional (which is, by the way, a huge part of their appeal).
Anonymous asked:
just wanted to say I love your content a lot, it's a breath of fresh air from all the anti content present in the fandom
You are very welcome, Anon! And thank you so much for your support <3 It means a lot to hear that our stuff is refreshing to you.
Anonymous asked:
Is Lilia sneezing on people on purpose, or is it a sneeze button for him?
(this is related to this post)
We’ll never know, Anon, it’s one of Lilia’s many mysteries…
Maybe it started out as a joke, but then he really began to sneeze on people every time his nose gets booped lol
Anonymous asked:
Where can I see the art for the new Shaftlands event?
I don’t think all of them are fully out yet, but people are pretty active on twitter, so simply looking up characters’ names is probably going to work!

guide to find the Spicy shiguang fanart
i need y'all to know this is a huge character development moment for me (a couple years back i would be so scandalized to be even talking about this lmao)
anywho. couplea people were talking about how there's not a lot of uhh...raunchier shiguang fanart out there. as a consumer of All The Shiguang Content I Can Get My Grubby Little Hands On, I am here to inform you that uh. yeah it sure is out there. there's not like a TON of it, but that's because the fandom overall is small. it's largely in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean side of things-- haven't seen a lot of western fans making it actually. It's largely on Twitter, but even then, you're not gonna find anything explicit over there, people tend to link the explicit stuff on their twitter to another website. something like poppiku? I forget what it's called.
Without further ado...
option 1: tag name! on twitter you can search for the tag name specifically and comb through art that way. your options are shiguang (though this is largely limited to just the English-speaking side of things, I feel), 光时 (think this is the Chinese shipname), 程光 (uuuh I think this is the Japanese side? not 100% actually lol), ヒカトキ, and トキヒカ. Those last two are from the Japanese side of things, and fair warning, it seems that in Japanese fandom, the order of the names actually denotes the top/bottom dynamic (so there's Hikatoki and Tokihika; in the Hikatoki, Hikaru is top (Lu Guang) and in TokiHika Toki is top (Cheng Xiaoshi). In western fandom we don't seem to put as much of an emphasis on this, though I'm no expert. It's not a hard-and-fast rule though I feel like, I've definitely seen art under both tags where it doesn't seem so important, and at least one that was tagged with one of those shipnames but was explicit about them switching, iirc. Either way, using ANY of these tags up there you're not going to find any explicit art-- if you DO, it'll be a censored preview, and then through the tweet there'll be a link to another website. A lot of times they have you enter a "password" which is just you typing "yes" in the field (because it wants to know if you're over 18). Though they can change up the password thing-- I had one ask the combined weights/heights (I forget) of LG and CXS lol.
option 2: find a fanartist you like on twitter and just scroll through their "media" page (so it's only showing you pictures they've posted. This does include things besides just fanart, and ofc it can include art from other fandoms, but). I've been doing this a lot lately. Just scrolling through my recents, here's some fanartists I like:
https://twitter.com/KBUCKN_kb/media
https://twitter.com/n0rn0a/media
https://twitter.com/waeyawasan/media
https://twitter.com/icn_e/media
option 3: pixiv! this is the Japanese side of things. again, nothing explicit will be here, but you can find lots of good stuff and lots of smooching. everything will likely be in Japanese though (if you see something you DESPERATLEY need a translation for, feel free to send it my way lol. good practice for me)
EDIT: credit to @canonicallyautistic for this bit of advice: for the Japanese on-screen text, you could use an optical text recognition plugin so you can machine translate doujin quickly (they use Capture2Text for Japanese, but don't know which good ones are out there for Chinese). Thank you!
--
Ok I think that's everything! I'll edit this if I think of anything else. Hooray!

Since I'm sure there will be a lot of new people from Twitter, I want to personally say welcome, but also please don't make the shipping wars any worse. Lol
You can do that by tagging correctly, blocking people you don't like, and muting tags that upset you. Tags are like folders. When people tag correctly, it's like opening a book with only the things you like on an endless school. Very handy.
Are you making a post about your favorite ship? Excellent! Tag it correctly. Do not tag a bunch of irrelevant tags as that's considered spamming. Your tags should look like:
#shipname #charactera #characterb #whatever else you want that is actually related to the post
By the way, this isn't twitter. Tags can have spaces in them. You can write a whole ass paragraph almost. It's enouraged to do so!
Also, this isn't TikTok. "Unalive" and other censored words for the "algorithm" are dumb and pointless. There is no algorithm. Use the right words so that people can filter what they don't want to see.
Are you writing a negative post about a ship you don't like? Well that's a waste of time but you do you, just tag it correctly. Your tag should like like:
#anti-ship #dont mention the ship in any other way! It could pop up in their tags when those shippers are trying to do their own thing
Don't cross post KNOWING your post can upset someone. Don't play coy. Don't play dumb. Don't start drama on purpose. If you're bored and want some action, why not get a real hobby instead of fighting on the internet?
If a tag is meant for a platonic ship, then you should find the proper romantic ship version of that name. If another character or pairing has nothing to do with your post, then keep it in your pants and don't tag them. It's rude and could earn you some blocks.
That is the proper tagging etiquette for tumblr.com. You can mute any tag you want by visiting your settings and adding a tag to filtered tags and/or filtered content.
Anon hate is a thing of the past. Grow up. You can send anonymous or faced questions to almost any blog you want. You can also turn off that feature entirely if you don't like it.
If you don't like someone, you can select the three dots on top of their posts and block them. You can save yourself a headache if you learn to curate your experience~
Here in Tumblr, there is no reliable algorithm. More than likely, Tumblr won't be showing everyone posts that are relevant to them automatically. You'll have to visit the tags yourself to see what you want to see.
If YOU LOVE SOMETHING, REBLOG IT. Likes work like bookmarks here on tumblr.com. Everyone appreciates likes on their posts, but sadly, that's all it is. A post can die in the sea of irrelevance if no one reblogs it.
You know all those cool popular posts you see with thousands of notes? They only got like that because thousands of people reblogged it.
Do your artist friends, writer friends, and normal friends a favor by reblogging their posts and spreading the good word~. If you consistently reblog good posts on a consistent basis, you'll likely find yourself some cool followers as well who have the same interests as you.
By the way, while you can be a little well known here in Tumblr, you'll never have any clout. Give up now before you even begin. Everyone is an equal here. We're all just fans being fans of whatever content we're consuming that day alright? There are famous people on here, but unless they're chill and breezy, people will tend to chase them away anyway.
Do you want separate your personal blog from your fan blog? Well no need to make a new account, you can just add a sideblog and it's practically the same thing. You only have to log in once. I have at least a dozen active side blogs for every new interest I get very invested in. Great for organization and keeping your main blog for your personal rambles and posts.
By the way, there's no need to tell everyone your name, your phone number, your address etc. This site is anonymous. Enjoy the anonymity! Let yourself be a faceless fan among other faceless fans, keep your personal details safe and private.
And finally, don't be a creepy weirdo. That's pretty self explanatory. If your are a creepy weirdo, stop while you're ahead. You know you're gonna get caught and ousted. You aren't slick, you're just a weirdo.
That is all. This is meant for the Stranger Things fandom but it can be applied to any fandom. Hope this helps.

Pardon my asking, but what does "jellowshipping" even mean? It's definitely not a portmanteau kind of ship name, because the names Mallow and Lillie don't exactly form the word "jellow" if you combine them in any way, so I'm a bit lost.
Hello anon,
This is a tough question. I don't really know, because I wasn't there in the fandom when the shipname was created.
I think "Jellow" is a portmanteau of Jellyfish (Lillie's outfit) and Mallow 's name, but I'm not even that sure, lol.
I looked on google and I can't find a proper thing, only about a sweet (maybe because they are sweet together?) and nothing else.
I'm tagging under the jellowshipping tag, so please, if someone was here on tumblr during Sun/Moon era could explain this to me.

hi! if you're still doing the fanfic writer asks, 11 and 16? 🫶
Hi! From this ask meme
11: Do you have a specific playlist you listen to as you write?
While I have both a Bucky Barnes and SamBucky playlist, I really only listen to the Bucky one when I'm writing intense action scenes (I actually put it together when I was writing I'll Be Something Better Yet, which is very Bucky/ recovery focused)
I usually just find a new playlist or soundtrack to write whatever scene I'm working on. Action scenes and smutty scenes are usually the ones I go searching music for! I did have a playlist of You Are My Sunshine variations for My Sunshine and I compiled every song I could find that mentioned honey bees or birds for Tell It To The Bees (and the birds)
16: When in the process do you come up with titles?
Almost always as I'm filling out the form on AO3 😅 There were a handful of stories that I knew what the title was as I was writing (Tell It To The Bees was one of them!) but usually I'm scrambling for song lyrics or a good line from the fic as I'm putting in tags. My WIP naming convention is just (Shipname Trope/plot event/reason for writing) so that's not helpful at all
Thanks for asking!

Now do it w both polypd and also Marc and tide i forgot their ship name
Tumblr media
This is for pd… idk I don’t have much to say I just like it. They make me feel so very bittersweet which is interesting for a ship.. How do I grieve a person I know is still here but has changed.. how do I grieve a person I never knew but has become my everything.. how do I fight someone I know I love, how do I love knowing that any moment it could end and something could go wrong.. idk where I’m going with this I’m bad at analysis I just think they make me wanna die and I’m scared for latest episode
Tumblr media
I also forgot the shipname FUCK… god dammit.. whatever I think old man yaoi is epic.. although it’s really middle aged yaoi honestly but yknow whatever
I find their dynamic to be humorous to me I think it’s funny. I only said fandom does it better because fandom explores the dynamic more but that could very well change considering last ep.
Anyway uhm I don’t care to view this ship seriously. I’m sure people do and it’s cool but I just find them more funny than anything. Hence crackship material (not super tho.. idk there was nothing to just say I view it as not that srs)

3, 8, 13, 18
HIIIII SPOK <333
3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
MY BAD TAKES COLLECTION
like let's be real in blands fandom, we see bad takes every day but honestly I have never seen a compelling argument against Rhysothy like,,, they're all wrong. like ppl saying that they would hate each other, that shipping characters that never met is Bad and just,,, any argument against Rhysothy for me falls flat
also takes abt how Jack was actually Good and esp a good dad and Lilith and Moxxi were Wrong and they are bitches
idk but that hc that Krieg is Tina's dad like what the fuck
Im censoring this one but just Dear God
Tumblr media
also special shout out to that one person who said u cant ship Normaler cause they have the word "normal" in their shipname and Dr Seuss wouldn't want that. I would literally kill to have a screenshot of this
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
Tales characters being a found family. literally these ppl don't know each other and they aren't close to one another and I don't think they rly grew to like one another. they don't feel particularly close to each other, ure only TOLD they should be friends. but they aren't. also Vaughn being a good friend is just the worst, like No, He's Not
13. worst blorboficiation
whatever the hell is happening with Katagawa Jr. like I genuinely have never seen him portrayed well (cause he's a terrible character) but what ppl do with him in fandom is just MAN. u either get fetishization or literally just making OC out of him, ignoring all the horrible things he's done. u can't have anything with such terrible character ig
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...
u know what? I'm gonna be incredibly specific here. cause everyone loves to hc Fiona as a future Vault Hunter and trust me, me too but I love to go a step further. I think Fiona joining Sanctuary would be just absolutely perfect
I love thinking abt her learning to be a Vault Hunter from the best aka Lilith, Mordecai and Brick. I love her being a part of the squad and going on adventures with them. I ship Lilith/Fiona so I love seeing them come together and see how their relationship could develop. I love seeing Fiona at Moxxi's, or repairing cars with Ellie, or begrudgingly going to Zed's, or scamming Marcus. in my ideal future, Fiona would find her place in Sanctuary and become a part of the squad

DeathBringer thoughts, opinions and criticisms
Tumblr media
I want to like DeathBringer as a character. When he's not with glory he can be a very interesting character. Given that I'm taking Tui's word in good faith and he is indeed meant to be around Glory's age, this would imply he is a prodigy for his age, that he has done a lot of things most dragons his age have not done or are unable to do. That is a very cool idea to think about.
However, this NEVER gets brought up or utilized and it comes across more like Tui had TOO many plans for DB, but just fumbled hard to make any of them work to the point she had to shove them aside for a winglet instead of a main line book! This winglet does fix the age situation I think, that's what I heard I haven't read it BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT READILY AVAILABLE WITHOUT PIRATING.
Hell, I don't even like the ship that much, the Glorybasket ship, and yes I'm one who prefers that name over any other shipname for them, GloryBringer sounds cool, but as an apparently rare enjoyer of the scavenger book, I liked the Murder basket name, it's funny and cute? And I bet he prays to the moons that no one finds out about the nickname. And honestly the book wasn't that bad, most people don't seem to like it because dragons took a back seat in the book and I think that's ok! We knew about the humans existing in the world of wings of fire and finally got an idea of how their society works and I actually think that's cool as a lore buff.
As for why I don't like the ship, it's not because of the weird age mistake that happened, or the fact that he was originally sent to kill Glory and his friends. It's actually because once he's with her, he is just a simp. There is no more personality, he's just a simp. And yeah he could have been secretly a dorky assassin all along but we don't get to see that prior to them getting together, do we? Nope, not really, he's more charismatic and sassy if anything. He does nothing that plot relevant afterwards, and it's just disappointing, given they could have been a power couple that put the SASS in asSASSin.
Honestly just wasted potential over all, giving all the build up only to throw him aside like that and downgrade him. Not to mention ignoring that he is one of many nightwings who killed and hurt other dragons only for it to be forgotten and ignored with Mastermind taking the fall as the Nightwings' scapegoat. Like he was a prodigy assassin who killed and maybe tortured who knows about many dragons prior to meeting glory and all the other nightwings get punished sorta (mostly mainly only Mastermind overall) but he gets a free pass cause he's the queen's boyfriend?
Also another reason I don't like the ship is that with how simpy he is, but also how Glory seems mostly disinterested, it feels very very one sided. I've seen people throw the "but glory hides her emotions!" argument at the wall, but like ... Not really? She's more blunt and straight forward about her emotions, if she likes something she'll let you know, and if she doesn't, you also most definitely know. And she had moments of being sweet and loving to her found-family, if she liked and truly liked Deathbringer back, even if she wasn't very interested in open/public displays of affection, we'd know and have her being generally sweeter and nicer to her supposed boyfriend.
Instead it comes across as not wanting the dumb love sick idiot basicly get himself killed for him, even though he's supposed to be a very capable assassin who could handle himself just fine and would be the number one dragon to guard her overall, especially compared to the rainwings who still aren't 100% sold on the idea of hurting another dragon even if that's the best case scenario. Literally we see this in the book that they aren't still fully ready to be proper guards for queen and she decided to bench her best option.
And at worst she seems kinda actually annoyed by her advances and hasn't gotten around to telling him off yet. I don't think it's a good look that THIS is how it comes across to at least readers. At least one scene where they aren't in the public eye and her returning the advances or being more openly affectionate with him would have been nice. The idea they SUPPOSEDLY have a dragonet together in the future (Firefly) isn't confirmation as that's only implied to be in a few timelines, not all and comes across as a nod to the fan ship at best.
Like the ship doesn't bode well to me and I think is written horridly. End of the story.
As for his appearance, I like it. He's a blue toned/hued whatever Nightwing. I personally think nightwings can be any cooler, but are normally dark, often near black hues of those colors, like how crows and ravens under the right light are actually very colorful and pretty to look at. Yes, blues, greens and purples may be the most common colors, but other colors CAN exists and do so, often with white freckles being the most common to exist marking.
For the record, I think the opposite exists for icewing, being they can also be almost any color but a pale, pastel near white shade of so.
But yeah I think only one other Nightwing that's blue like this vibrantly exists, and people like to assume she's a hybrid, which I hate to death given how proud nightwings are of being Nightwing historically, I feel like intertribe couples are rare and shouldn't be the first thing to consider when a dragon looks "weird" than what's status quo. Biodiversity exists, and so do genetic mutations that exist independently of a dragon being a hybrid. A dragon doesn't need to be a hybrid to look weird or different than what we've seen a tribe to look like.
Like for example a white Nightwing can just be albino, and a black icewing could just be melanistic.

ALRIGHT picard season 2 starts tomorrow which means it’s Emo Boy Hours™ and i’m about to get sappy on you
i created this blog 7 years ago because at the time there were like 3 other active q/picard shippers on the internet, and the only fic i could find was from the 90s and early 2000s. the portmanteau “qcard” wasn’t even the popular shipname it is today
but i wanted to spread the qcard insanity, and i remember that the first few months after i created the blog i would get a lot of messages from people who’d be like “wow i never thought of them that way but now that you mention it it does kinda make sense”. more and more people started interacting with my posts, so i decided to host a q/picard fanwork event, and from there i feel like all the qcard shippers who’d previously been doing their thing alone + the new shippers got together and we had ourselves a neat little fandom! 
i met so many amazing people thanks to qcard. two of my best friends in the world, actually, + countless others that i adore.
the qcard craze really reached its peak these past 2-3 years, and i couldn’t be happier! so many trekkies are now qcard shippers (or at the very least they think it’s an interesting dynamic) and 7 years after falling for them myself, i get to see them together again on screen. i never, ever thought this day would come 
Tumblr media
not to be dramatic, but Q and Picard saved my fucking life. i watched tng at a very difficult time in my life and qcard was a constant source of comfort to me. it kept me going. they also taught me so much about myself, things i wouldn’t have admitted, the kind of introspection i can only seem to do through fictional characters. they both mean so much to me, and getting to see them again, together, after all this time... it does things to me
i know it might not be everything i hope it’ll be. i know the writers might fuck up, there might be some disappointments, expectatons that won’t be met, but... no matter what happens, tomorrow we get to see q and picard together on screen. fuck. tomorrow we get to see q and picard together on screen

dreammate
Dream x gn!reader Summary: Tommy’s curious to know more about Dream’s personal life and ends up ‘meeting’ his s/o. Warnings: none i think.. lmk if you find any! Just fluff-ish tbh. A/N: hi i uh usually dont write so feedback is more than welcome, feel free to correct me if i made any mistakes! If cc’s are uncomfortable i’ll delete it, but that goes without saying :)
Being a content creator has it’s perks. Such as being able to meet new people, meeting people you admire and enjoyed watching way before you became a streamer yourself. Or the fact that you can just hang out with your friends and the chat and even make some money off of it. You often get invited to hang out with people on Among Us, Rust, Minecraft, you name it. One of the biggest benefits of being a content creator was being a part of the Dream SMP. You were a reacurring character and the chat loved you. Your persona would often show up in fanart, alongside Sapnap’s, George’s, Ranboo’s and the other members. There would often be speculations on you dating one of the guys on the SMP. Funny enough, they never expected it to be Dream.
You had been dating for a month before making it official and are currently nearing the 3 month mark. The two of you decided to keep it quiet for the time being and had only told Sapnap and George.
After a long and fun weekend at his home in Florida, you decided to hang out on his bed, watching some tiktoks or whatnot. Your boyfriend was sitting behind his setup, getting the game started. It wasn’t long until his laughter filled the room. Every couple of minutes he would look over his shoulder to check up on you.
Curiousity got the best of you. What was he laughing about? You opened Twitch, and ofcourse, Clay wasn’t streaming. But Tommy was. You watched as Clay’s character hit Tommy’s, accidentally killing the boy.
“Call child services! Dream has killed a child!” Quackity yelled over VC. Tommy walked back to get his stuff.
“Dream, I am not liking this attitude of yours.” You heard your boyfriend chuckle as he was walking around the map. You looked over at his monitor as Tommy’s character walked into his screen. “Dream, can I ask you something?”
“Tommy, if you want to know where babies-”
“SHUT UP BIG Q I KNOW WHERE BABIES COME FROM.” His high pitched laugh and yelling making you tune your volume down.
“Go ahead Tommy, what do you want to ask?” Clay asked calmy.
“Why I was wondering, I have met Mother Dream and Drista, do you have any more family I can talk to? Can I meet Father Dream?” Tommy was trying really hard to look as serious as possible asking Dream.
“My family isn’t here right now.” Dream stated, looking at you with a sneaky grin on his face.
“Oh, alright then, do you- do you like being alone Dream?” You can’t help but chuckle at Tommy always ending his scenteces with ‘Dream’, making it sound so personal and serious.
“I don’t mind being alone, but I’m actually not alone right now, Tommy.” Your eyes focus on the man sitting behind his setup, Tommy jumping around on the monitor behind him. “Baby, would you like to talk to Tommy?” Clay asked, looking at you.
“Dream, who did you call baby? Is there a uhh Drartner ... no uh a dreammate?” Tommy stared into his camera and his chat was going wild.
Dream laughs as he signs for you to come over. He mutes himself from the VC. “Are you sure about this?” You ask him, walking over to where he’s sitting. “I am, are you?” You nodded. He moves the chair back a bit and motions for you to sit down on his lap.
“Alright Tommy, here’s my uhh, Dreammate, be nice to them.” You had put your phone down to still be able to see Tommy’s stream. He looked so impatient, yelling to his chat. 
“Wait, WAIT- guys wait.” He quickly typed into the game chat for the other players online to join your VC for some ‘action’.
Clay mutes himself again. “So Tommy is ordering some of the guys to join the VC, it’s just Tubbo, Ranboo, Callahan and Quackity, so no worries.” He hands you the headphones and you adjust them, being able to hear Tommy loud and clear.
“Alright Tommy, what’s up?” Ranboo asked, walking up to the two of you.
“DREAM, Dream can they hear me? Ranboo, Dream is introducing us to his Dreammate.” You type into the game chat that you can hear him.
“What’s a Dreammate?” Tubbo asks, joining your little group.
“Well, appearantly Dream has been keeping a secret from us-” You softly giggle.
“What’s he saying?” Your boyfriend asks, wrapping his arms around your waste.
“Hello? Hello? Are you there, Dream’s Dreammate?” Tommy’s character hits Clay’s, so you take the mouse and hit his back.
“Well hello there, Tommy.” You see the boy’s expression change from confusion to a somewhat dissapointed face.
“Oh hello, Y/N, it’s been a while” He continues hitting you and you run away from him “I actually thought Dream was gonna introduce me to his Dreammate. You got me there, real funny.” Clay put in the earbuds connected to your phone so he could listen to what Tommy was saying. “Who would want to date Dream anyways- oh, well chat, alright alright so you ALL want to -” The boy sighs, being way too hyper for the conversation.
“Tommy, I-I am dating Dream.”
“No, the prank wasn’t funny, Y/N. Dream has failed you, I expected better from him.” The bitterness in his voice is truly impressive.
“Stop killing me Tommy!” It’s your turn to thaunt him, getting out your sword and running after him.
“I think they’re serious Tommy, congrats you two!” Ranboo says, helping you kill Tommy.
“Does that mean you’ll be coming back to the SMP, Y/N? We never finished that thing we were working on.“ Tubbo asks ever so sweetly. “Thanks Ranboo and yes ofcourse Tubbo, I’ll be joining soon.”
<Callahan> poor fundy
Dream’s famous kettle laugh echoed through the room when he read the messege. “Dream, can you hear me, Dream?” Tommy asks, being able to hear Clay laugh on VC.
“Yes Tommy I can hear you.” He says, burrying his face in your neck.
“I- I have a question.” It fell silent for a bit. “WHY” Tears start rolling over your cheeks from laughter.
Once Dream catches his breath he finally comments. “Tommy you love women right?” You face your boyfriend, who is trying to keep a straight face.
Tommy looks straight in the camera. “What a dumb question, all I talk about is my love for women. Do you ever listen to me, Dream? It’s almost like you’re my boyfriend.” He made a disgusted face before cracking up again.
“Oh god” You whisper as you shake your head. Clay presses a kiss on your neck. “Well Tommy, I feel the same way about Y/N.” An ‘aw’ left your mouth before Tommy made a barfing sound.
“So are you gonna marry them?” Tommy truly does feel like an annoying brother sometimes. Your eyes scan the chat while Clay does the talking. A couple of shipnames and questions pop up between all the emotes.
“I don’t know yet, Tommy. Maybe someday.” He said, hugging you a little thighter. You softly press a kiss on his forehead.
“Alright, cringe. I have no further questions.” Tommy states. “I’m gonna go back to building my tower. Goodbye.”
“Bye Tommy.” Clay said as he left the game. “Nice talking to you!” You added, taking the headphones off. “That wasn’t half as bad huh?”
Ah, yet again the Dream SMP is trending.

Some thoughts about the origin trio and what they inherited from their parents
Okay so this whole thing started because I thought that it would never not be funny that (from a Watsonian perspective) Mitsuki and Masaru basically used what could have been their shipname to name Bakugou.
Like I kid you not, they basically just took the one kanji in Masaru (勝) and the last kanji of Mitsuki (光己) and what they got was Katsuki (勝 己). Bakugou is like the living embodiment of the whole "apple-pen" thing and I find it hilarious.
That of course made me think about how not only his name but also his quirk was the perfect match/combination of his parents'. Which in turns obviously reminded me of another very obvious important character of BNHA with obvious half and half attributes from his parents. And of course there's no way I'd think about two thirds of the origin trio without inevitably diverging to the last one.
And let me tell you I never expected that what started as crackish thoughts ended up being a semi-analysis about how the origin trio were basically representative of innate, engineered and, acquired genetics /talents.... but there you have it. *sigh*
I'm going to base my comparison on three characteristics that could be inherited/given by the parents : Name, appearance (like hair and eye color) and quirk.
Okay since I've already mentioned Bakugou above, let's start with him.
Bakugou Katsuki
Appearance: there's no debate to have here, in terms of physical appearance, he's 100% Mitsuki to the point where it's almost eerie... But this seems to be how genetic generally works in BNHA, we don't see a lot characters' parents, but for like 99% of them, the kid would tend to take after their mom. (The very obvious exception being of course the Todoroki fam, but I'll come back to it later)
Name: Well as I mentioned it before, Katsuki could be used as a Masaru/Mitsuki shipname so you can't get more 50/50 than that...
Quirk: Once again very obviously 50/50. But I'd say that even more than a 50/50, Bakugou's quirk is like winning the quirk lottery. His quirk is the result of how two basically useless quirks could mixed together in a super homogeneous way to get the best possible combination that could have come out with what was at their disposal. (And the most freaking hilarious thing about this is that Mitsuki and Masaru managed to do what Endeavor was desperately attempted to get - 50/50 quirk- on their first try without even having the intention to do !) Bakugou's quirk and by extension his genetic is the best possible results of his genetic pools, not by design but purely by chance, which makes Bakugou's quirk the very definition of innate talent.
Midoriya Izuku
Appearance : We don't really know anything about Hisashi's look... but if there's anything of him in Midoriya then it would probably be nothing more than the freckles which is pretty insignificant... so nearly 100% Inko.
Name: okay so while both Izuku and Inko starts coincidentally by the same syllable in romanji (I-zu-ku/ I-n-ko), it doesn't really work when you look at the Kanji: Izu(出) and In(引) have zero common point. So unless her maiden name used to be something with 出 in it, it would probably be stretching to count it as coming from Inko. Especially since the "Izu" part of Izuku's name already hold a significant part in the whole "Deku" thing. BUT, just because it doesn't come from Inko doesn't mean that Izuku's name came out of nowhere, because the ku(久) of Izuku can also be read as Hisashi... which is exactly how Midoriya's dad name is written. So Midoriya's name is 0% from his mom and 50% from his dad.
Quirk: Midoriya and Bakugou has been established as complementary mirrors from the very start. The two extremes/opposite of any given scale (ie. villain point vs rescue point). And it is especially true regarding their quirk. If Bakugou's quirk was the best outcome to possibly come out of his lukewarm genetic pool, then Midoriya's was the worst outcome to ever possibly come out from a pretty good genetic pool, which is to say none at all. (Though this is only true if Midoriya was truly born quirkless... but well...) ... So yeah that's a 0% and 0% quirk-wise for Midoriya. What I think is very, very fascinating though is that the contrasted parallel still work, even after Midoriya got his quirk from All Might. Because if you talk about innate talent, then the complementary notion is acquired talent. Which usually means something that you are not born with and that you learn sometimes during the course of your life.... But well in Midoriya's case his quirk was very literally acquired from someone else's DNA. He got 100% of his quirk from All Might. (And not to pull a Todoroki, but that totally makes All Might Midoriya's "quirk parent").
Todoroki Shouto
Appearance: If Bakugou's first name is the name equivalent of the apple-pen thing, then Todoroki's appearance would be trying to physically squish the apple and pen together and get a very awkward half-apple half-pen thing out of it. Todoroki is quite obviously 50% of Rei and 50% of Endeavor. One of the representation of the fact that Todoroki's DNA was purposely made to be this way is the fact that contrarily to the vast majority of BNHA characters, and more specifically Midoriya and Bakugou, Todoroki's appearance doesn't follow the rule of taking mostly from the mom. Another is the little tidbit about Todoroki's blood type. As you might have notice from the character pages, Todoroki's blood type is 0, while Endeavor is AB. Now I don't know how much you know about recessive and dominant alleles.... But if BNHA follows the same genetic law as our own, then it is genetically impossible for Todoroki to be an 0, he should have be either an A or B type. (The Doylist explanation about that is that Horikoshi-sensei probably didn't take that into account when he provided the information and more than certainly based their blood types on their personalities which is a whole thing in Japan, where people of certain blood types have certain personality traits. The Watsonian one is that either Endeavor isn't Todoroki's genetic father which is super unlikely, or that the presence of the Quirk mutation in the genetic pool changed or superseded the dominant/recessive aspect of other alleles.) And while it is probably just a coincidence, it still give this small nod that nothing about Todoroki's birth was left to chance or "natural means".
Name: Todoroki's first name Shouto (焦凍) is a little different from Bakugou and Midoriya in the sense that neither kanji come directly from Rei (冷) or Enji (炎司). But then if you look at the meaning of two kanji in Shouto, you'll get 焦 - burn, impatient, char, singe, scorch 凍 - freeze, cold, refrigerate Todoroki doesn't have his parent's kanji because ultimately Todoroki wasn't meant to be Rei and Enji's son but rather the son of an ice-attribute quirk person and a fire-attribute quirk person. So it makes a lot of sense that his name comes from their attributes and not their own kanji. It adds another layer to that whole "engineered" feeling surrounding the Todoroki's family. Which makes him once again 50% Rei and 50% Enji in the name department.
Quirk: Like his appearance, it is very obvious that he got 50/50 from his parents... like it's in the freaking name of his quirk, so I'm not going to linger on it. But since this subpart is usually where I've been talking about genetics and stuff, I'll keep the same trend here. I've been using the word "engineered" a lot to refer to Todoroki's situation, and of course I don't mean that his genes/existence have been literally engineered and fabricated. No, I'm thinking more along the lines of low-key eugenics, which is where the whole "Quirk marriage" concept stemmed from. So if Bakugou's situation is having a so-so genetic pool and unintentionally getting the best outcome possible, Todoroki's is intentionally having the best possible genetic pool and keep trying until you get the best outcome that you wished for. And what I really find interesting is that Bakugou's homogeneously combined both parts of his parents quirks to create his, while Todoroki's is more like having two independent quirks awkwardly squished together side to side.
To resume Bakugou was born with the best, Todoroki was born to have the best tool and Midoriya was given the best tool. And I love how neat this is that each member of the origin trio got such different circumstances and how balanced the whole thing is. (I mean it is already quite well balanced when you only consider the baku-deku dynamics, but adding the Todoroki layer to the whole thing just makes everything super stable and wholesome, I freaking love it!!)

Yeah we all have brainrot, but do you have mad botanist brainrot?
So, I grow chili pepper plants as a hobby, and one of the things I like the most about it is the huge variety of plants you can get. This is just my harvest from last year, and I am pretty middle of the road.
Tumblr media
And I did have an itching to start my own crossbreeding project, the actual planning of which coincided with the release of the funny pirate show.
And there are certain chili plants that I like to give to friends with goth-sensibilities, that grow very dark leaves and black fruit. There's also a type of chili pepper called The Scotch Bonnet. You can see where this is going. I could actually make a BlackBonnet plant. Let's all agree to stick with that shipname because this will take a couple years.
(ridiculous amount of info and pictures under the cut, this is partly for you and mostly for me)
"Surely," I thought "someone must have already made a BlackBonnet?" The Scotch Bonnets come in a huge variety, and chili enthusiasts like the Black Plants for their novelty. But no, the closest I can find is the 'Scotch Bonnet Guadalupe Black', which doesn't seem too popular and grows the usual green leaves. There are also a few 'chocolate' and 'brown' variants, but I believe we can go darker.
Anyway, these are the parents I'm working with:
"Scotch Bonnet Trinidad/ Trenton."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scotch Bonnet chilis are a very popular, very hot variant of the type Capsicum Chinense. They come from the Caribbean but are named for the form of the fruit, which resembles the Scottish headwear.
Tumblr media
Your mileage may vary on how accurate that is.
As you can see even from my little potted plant, the SB are very high yield, and their hotness and fruity aroma make them popular for sauces and powders. I'm using the Trenton FM (Gelb) and Trinidad(Red).
"Long Black Chili"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now this I got from a seller who doesn't have the best reputation for breed purity. And then I collected seeds for two generations after I didn't do anything to prevent crossbreeding with a variant called Bolivian Rainbow, also famous for its dark leaves. So there's a good chance there's already some variety in here.
Anyway, my guess is that it started as a variant of Zimbabwe Black, an aanum that is well known for growing very dark leaves and fruit that turn from black to a nice deep red.
"But tumblr user babtest", you say, since you have immediately spotted the problem in my plan. "Capsicum Chinense and Capsicum Annuum are notoriously hard to crossbreed! Why not use another Chinense?"
Well, because I hadn't planned this when I got my seeds last december. And who'd start another crop mid-april because of some fandom nonsense?
So I ordered some seeds for the Pimenta de Neyde.
Tumblr media
(Picture from Chilifee.de. Not the Seller i use, that'd be the amazing Semillas but the picture is a nice overview)
A beautiful dark Capsicum Chinense. We'll see how many I can actually grow this season, I'm only aiming to fill the two extra spots I have left on my windowsill, but it's a def. factor for next year.
Anyway, on the actual crossbreeding!
I'll be following this guide: https://www.fatalii.net/Growing_chile_peppers/Breeding
The goal: A Chili with dark leaves and stems, that grows black fruits in the typical round shape of a Scotch Bonnet.
'Male Parent' is the plant you take the pollen from, "Female Parent" is the one which germiates the seeds. The name for a new Breed is Female Parent x Male Parent so:
Tumblr media
Oof, eight F1 (first generation hybrid) variants? I'll really need to step up my organisation game.
As far as I can tell, there's no majority opinion on which parents are more likely to retain which genes.
I'll be using both the SB Trenton (yellow) and SB trinidad (Red) because I have no clue which is more likely to take on the darker colours of the other parent plants.
There's also no telling how the fruits will turn out, so the first selection will be purely for leaf colour, then Fruit Colour and Shape. You keep the plants that show the attributes you want and collect seeds from them.
Since I'm selecting for several attributes (Plant colour, Fruit Shape, Fruit Colour), I might also crossbreed within the plants.
And as you know if you did Punnet squares, there's no guarantee that recessive genes won't come out in the 3rd and later Generations. So you rinse and repeat, select for attributes until the Breed is stabilized enough that (mutations notwithstanding) you get a reliable outcome. That averages between 5-15 generations. So. Not a short term project. But it's going to be fun.
And that is pretty much it. Yohoho, wish me luck.
