Got Attention for an Athlete Player

(Football Sevika x Cheerleader Fem reader)

Summary: Your a cheerleader who was caught getting attention from a hot known athlete, Sevika in football practice. You couldn’t help but fall deeply in love with her.

| Request are open in comment or on dm (message) whenever I’m available. Hope you enjoyed reading this and be doing more throughout Christmas break. Praying for this finals to be OVER ALREADY 😭 |

You was a cute cheerleader in college for the next football league game they were having. You’ve been a cheerleader practicing your part of the role to at least do something throughout college life without making yourself bored. You done this about a few weeks and was doing well, until during practices this afternoon, you were playing your role and then someone caught your attention. This athletic fine woman from your eyes, darting at her. And only thinking about is her in your own mindset. Her muscular arm and biceps showing out from her gear. The helmet she had colored black and red. She was quite tired after playing football with the boys, (ofc she’s a tomboy) and had to take her helmet off to feel the wind breezing on her face as she sighs deeply looking up for a second and then grabbing her water bottle from the bench and drank some before going back on practicing for the game. You kept watching her as you weren’t even listening to your own coach from cheerleader team.

Sevika was tackling the other players and move quick to be prepare of catching the football to herself and drifts off quickly to reach the goal. “GO SEVIKA! GO GO GO!”You shouted far distance away from the strong women. Not sure how you even got her name in the first place or if you remember it (Probably ask Vi once), you was so eager to see her play. The moment you started cheering, Sevika glances in the direction to see the one of the main cheerleader who was yelling. At first she didn’t understand what happened but suddenly she felt this pleasant feeling that crept into her. The cheerleader team was already annoyed from your excitement, along with your coach you never like when you signed up for this cheerleading stuff.

Practice was now over just for the day, well evening actually. You pack up stuff from cheerleading, including Pom-poms and the outfit. As soon you came out of the women locker, you saw Sevika’s height talking to someone in front of her, like they were blocking her face. Just when you was about to move quickly, cuz how you would blush like crazy and end up screaming lol, and unexpected thing had come. Sevika quiets down with her group of one of the boys, and turn towards you. She smirk showing her attractiveness face and curve body as she turn half way like she was in her flirting moment. “You were the girl who cheered for me?” Sevika chuckles.

You felt your chest in body heat and your cheeks turning red. You could hear and see she was approaching closer to you which got you startled. “Yeah yeah that was me.” You quiets down. You landed at the wall that was near you, with Sevika leaning her body against you admiring your adorable looks as you couldn’t do nothing but hear your screaming of desire all over your head. You could also hear some of the boys were snickering behind their backs, mumbling and whistling seeing the whole scene just expose out of nowhere. However Sevika ignore all that. She pulled back after observing your beautiful looks from top to bottom. “Thanks that you were able to cheer for me. At least someone enjoys what I do. It kinda made my day bit better,” says Sevika extending you a hand trying not to make the conversation more awkwardly. “I’m Sevika.” You hold onto her hand blushing like a maniac (like chill. I won’t even handle myself well😭😭)

“I’m y/n.”

Sevika smile warmly, eyes looking down at you. “Nice to meet you, Y/n. Am glad we could finally meet for the…first time.” You guys were both blushing red. “However, it’s a pleasure. I must get going. Have many duties to do,” Sevika says pulling back. You understand and wave at her. “Hope to see you another time.” Sevika look you back close to exiting out the building. “Until we meet again, y/n. Good luck out there.” The tall woman waves and disappeared. As soon you came home from the bus, you drop all your stuff in your room and lay on bed, thinking about the bold woman you were just talking to. You dreamed of her the entire night.

Next day (Afternoon-1:30pm)

In the locker room, you was getting pushed around by some girls for no reason. Your backpack fall including yourself on the floor, not wanting to do more cheerleading practice after that issue. You’ve been bullied quite some time since you got in the league of cheerleading and all the girls who were involved seeing you cheer for Sevika so loud, that they were thinking you super annoying and how much they hated you. Anyhow, you move directly to a corner of the wall not trying to tear up. You were pretty upset and tired. “Why did I signed up for this cheerleader shit?” You huff and did your best to stay confident without letting anyone taking you down again. Then you head out to see the whole football field waiting to see Sevika shows up.

In your mind you felt not cheerring or shout during practice. Probably people would think your some kind of fool doing, while everyone is practicing. You just wanted to make Sevika proud. 🥺💕 In your zone, you then saw Sevika and her other team getting ready for position as if their doing an actual game. But ofc your annoying ass coach snap his finger straight at you. “Hey! Get back to work! We don’t have time!” The coach ordered you to do so. While you were getting back in position with the other girls, you tried your hardest to focus on what you were doing but the thoughts were still in you of the woman who played so well. It’s like you want to watch her movement every time you would see her play football.

And just like that you were snatch by the coach. (Ain’t letting that SLIDE) Some of the girls laugh at you getting pulled back away. Even Sevika saw the situation which kinda got concern. Your coach immediately upfront you toward the wall looking pretty pissed. “Y/n if you don’t pay attention during practice, you would be banned from cheerleading at the next game.” You were silent hearing him shout at you. All you could say was “yes,” looking down on the ground. “Won’t do it again, coach.” After practice was over, you throw your outfit in the locker and slam the mess out of it. “DAMN IT!” You shouted not trying to have others hear you including the bullies. You try hard not to cry in front of people but thank god the hallways of the stadium was empty. But just then, Sevika was about to put her helmet on for further practices until she suddenly collided you. She stumbled, even you as you got on top, which thankfully no one was at the area you two were. You got up on your feet, fluster hard. “Sorry…” you said rubbing your neck. “It’s fine. I can’t be mad at you, dear.” Did Sevika just say “dear”!? Your heart pounding inside not trying to show out your true feelings but possibly Sevika might can tell. “I saw what happened earlier that coach of yours. Sorry you got kicked out. I should’ve stop him from doing that.” You sigh and nods. “It’s okay. I deserve to get kicked out. I was already tired of being in it.” Sevika nods as well. “I can feel it,” soft and gentle feeling appearing from the woman’s voice. “ You know just as I even look back on your excitement…” she chuckles “you were pretty much fascinated on the football field~” Sevika smirked trying to make the clear that she was hitting up on you.

You chuckle looking away. “I couldn’t help myself, Sev.” Her mocking but affectionate smile flashed on her face looking down at you. “Can’t deny it, can you~” Sevika says putting her hands on your hips. You fluster more and laugh softly. “No. It just I have glasses on see” (which I have one). Sevika pulls her hands back laughing softly as well, making you feel weak onto the floor. “Don’t even start blaming on glasses sweetheart. I would still see it through your eyes just as I did now~” She made sure no one else heard you two together somewhere in the stadium area. Everything was okay for now so she was able to take of her helmet revealing her short mullet hair (I WOULD GO FREAKING CRAZY) and slightly tired eyes from practicing.

“Your so…so pretty.” You were breathtaking just watching her look from the light about her head. This moment you really wanted to go for a kiss but you just met her like a few days ago. You really wanted to go and let her explore you and your body, making sure that no one touches you but your athletic tomboyish girlfriend. Someone to keep you warm and protective at all cost. “So are you.” Sevika haves you a wink. Things gotten a bit more awkward but passionate in silence when you two look one another. Even Sevika was mostly focusing on your lips. You both were trying to figure out what else to say. Then the thought came up. “Since I got kicked out, when will you next game be so I can come by and… watch you play.” You say tilting your head at her. “Our next match is in two days,” says Sevika. “I’ll buy your ticket once you show up. Your used coach can’t take away from what your doing for me. Do not worry.” Sevika says handing her phone number. “Call me when you get the chance.” She put her helmet back on, biting on her mouth guard and rush on the field, hanging out with the boys. Can’t believe she GAVE YOU HER NUMBER!? OH MY GOSH!!! (So extra😅) You just stood there like a mechanic doll wanted to freaking scream.

Friday Night (6pm)

The night the game finally begun. You bought some snacks of popcorn and nacho cheese to make things more entertaining and eyeing on Sevika the entire game. It’s like you were touched by her heart, it wouldn’t go away. The bleachers were packed by overcrowded people and you making the way towards the middle almost close to where the cheerleader team was. You had a good looking view of the football field which excites you. Two of the opposite team showed up on the field as the crowd goes wild. You clap your hands not ready to stand up and shout as in a way of embarrassment. Luckily, Sevika turn her back to see you popping your head with a light grey sweater on you. She waved at you, pleasing her cute cheerleader (you) and got on her knees to do few exercise before heading down towards her team.

When the game started, you enjoyed yourself eating the snacks you had. And your coach had to freaking show up during the game. “What are you doing here? I kicked you out of practice.” You turn to look at him wanting him to get crushed by Sevika. “Cheering for someone actually.” You tried to act all popular LMAO The coach rolling his eyes. “On who-“ “None of your damn business. XD” But then he could tell who were you even focusing on which is Sevika, one of the football team as she was ready to throw the ball for someone to get. “I see…couldn’t kept your mouth shut because of some wannabe girl keeping you off of practice just to see her play. Unbelievable.” You was NOT having this ruined your time. Your eyes betrayed him saying that which kinda snap you out. “Look sir, if you want to go and chit chat all you want, go talk to someone else but not me. I’m having the greatest time of my life actually. Am so happy I got kicked out. You won’t have to bother me anyway.” Sticking your tongue out, you walk to the next bleachers feeling proud of being brave to yourself.

Few moments of game, Sevika won a goal which got you on your feet shouting. “WHOOO! GO SEVIKA! YEEEAH!” People were startled from your excitement which made you had a nervous chuckle. “My bad y’all.” After the game was over, the black and red team won. Sevika and others had each trophy and medal. Your snacks was already spilled not even paying attention. Some of the students ran towards the team happy and hugging one another. Also Sevika was getting hugged to. You ran out the bleachers as well jumping on top of her. It surprised Sevika seeing you on top as she tries carrying her trophy on her mechanic hand. “Thanks y/n. You cheered for me so well.”

And like that she went for a kiss on the lips without anyone even bother to see the moment. You kissed her back, pulling up her face not wanting to let her go. “Come over to my dorm as a reward. We can continue this~” You nod. “Of course babe.” Sevika chuckles, waving goodbye at her team and eventually carried you to her dorm for an intimidating night.

| Yes! I was able to keep on writing in each paragraph LONGER because it was pretty much a lot to write and thankfully I was able to do more and not just a short one. If you have any request of Sevika, Grayson, Kuvira or even Mizu from blue eye samuari (I’m a simp for her as well), dm are open or the comment section. |

Prayer time pt.1

Warning- Role play, degradation, cnc

Y/n went to a church to pray. Yn isn't so big on religion and wasn't really sure if she believed in any god but she enjoyed praying because prayer wasn't restricted to any god. A prayer could just be to yourself.

It was calming for her.

It was night time. She preferred praying at night because rarely anyone else was at the church at that time. Until she heard the door of the church open.

There he was. A man that looked like a sin hard to resist. Y/n could not look away from him until he looked over at her and saw her stare. She looked away almost instantly and continued praying.

"And thank you for blessing me today. Amen." She said. Just as she was about to get up the man sat down at the end of the same pew as her. He began praying. Y/n got too nervous to get up now hearing how deep his voice is and how attractive he looked.

"Am i blocking your way out?" The man asked.

"N-no I'm just still praying" Y/n said slightly blushing.

"Are you sure?" The man said now looking at y/n with an arched eyebrow.

"Yes im sure now who are you to acuse me of lying in a church?" Y/n said in a frustrated yet flustered tone. The man was now fully looking at the pretty girl with a smirk on his face.

"Did i ever say that you were lying pretty girl?" The man said with a slight sinister tone.

"W-who even are you?" Y/n asked

"Manjiro Sano, but you can call me Mikey"

"O-okay look" Y/n said as she stood up from the pew and faced toward Mikey. "I'm sorry for accusing you of lying and i just want to go now." Y/n said while trying to look at Mikey without blushing.

Mikey then stood up facing towards y/n now. Y/n then started looking at the ground.

"Awww that wasn't so hard now was it- Whats your name?" Mikey said with a smile on his face.

"Y/n" she said while continuing to look at the floor.

"That wasnt so hard to say now wasn't it y/n?"

"N-no it wasn't" Y/n said.

"Good. Now come here" He said.

"W-what?" Y/n said looking more flustered than ever.

Mikey sighed and made the 'come here' finger gesture.

"Come here."

Y/n walked towards him with her head down not wanting to see how much this man that she just met is making her blush.

She was now in front of him with her head still down.

"It's rude to not look at someone when they're talking to you." Mikey said with a look of disapproval.

"I'm sorry m-mikey" y/n said trying to look up at him who was now giving her an intimidating stare.

"It's sir to you."

"S-sir? I'm sorry sir." Y/n said now taking deep breaths. Mikey never talked to her like this. He always made sure to be gentle with her since he didnt want to hurt her but after she explained what she was into he decided to give it a try. She loved this role play.

Mikey kept walking towards y/n as she continued to back up until she her back hit the wall and mikeys face was inches away from hers.

"I don't think you are princess" he said against her lips.

His lips collided against y/ns.

The taste of cinnamon rushed to y/ns mouth as Mikey had been chewing cinnamon flavored gum.

She let out a whimper as Mikey bit on her bottom lip.

"M-mikeyyy" y/n whined when he pulled away.

"It's not Mikey for you, you little sinner" mikey said as his hand was caressing y/n's face and then wondered into her hair.

He then pulled at her hair. Y/n whimpered and whined because of how hard he pulled her hair. He enjoyed this. A little too much.

"Say it right. I know you can or are you just too much of a stupid little slut too understand?"

"I- m' not a slut sir" she said trying to pull mikeys hand out of her hair but to no avail.

"Oh" he said before he shoved his right leg in between y/ns legs raising his knee up to her warm area. "You're not a slut? Your body tells me different." He then leaned down to y/ns ear and whispered "The way you got flustered over nothing? Your pathetic little whimpers and whines? Your pretty mouth says one thing but your body says another. All you have to do is tell me."

His left hand was holding y/ns waist against the wall while with his free hand he traced the insides of y/ns upper thighs.

This caused her to get even more flustered. How could she tell him the unholy feelings that she's getting inside a church?

Pt.2 coming tomorrow <333 I'm srry it's so spacey lol

been learning to play ironsworn (gritty fantasy ttrpg which you can play with a gm but is mostly suited for solo or small group co-op gmless play) after having the rulebook pdf for several years (stars finally aligned to remove invisible thing blocking me from reading it idk) because i'm on another solo ttrpg kick & i don't know what took me so long to get around to this game because it genuinely is exactly what i was looking for. years ago when i was playing through solo 5e modules i should have just been playing ironsworn (believe it or not, 5e isn't very suited to solo play and is extremely clunky when you try lol).

also though i have dabbled in some other solo ttrpgs, a considerable amount of them are journaling games which is fun but imo considerably more work (usually by the time i'm a quarter of the way through the journal entry, i know how to entire scene played out and i want to move on to the next gameplay thing, so i get frustrated and bored quickly. it feels like when you solve a level in a video game but don't have the coordination to pull off the necessary move so you have to spend 20 extra minutes doing something you already figured out), so i really appreciate like not needing to write something for the game to progress (ive been taking notes for my own record since im playing solo and thus am not really out loud roleplaying the way you do in a group, but i definitely could do that instead and not take notes and the game would still function perfectly)

& ive been playing by myself but also in the past ive played a lot of ttrpgs in very small groups which has been other games but is mostly dnd and like. we also should have been playing ironsworn so that having a gm was not necessary. have definitely played games where we had to adapt the rules soooo much to do something that is just base game included in ironsworn. plus it's rules-light enough to do pretty complex moves that pose difficulties in bulkier games (ever introduced someone to dnd and they tell you they want to do a sick backflip and catch something and then attack and you have to tell them that will require several different consecutive rolls and some creative liberties with how the rules are 'supposed' to let you move? you can just Do That in ironsworn. use the strike move and describe it. done!)

the one thing is that although it's rules-light enough to theoretically play any setting or genre (some with more difficulty than others), ive found so far that like... the grittiness and sense of threat is very built into the mechanics so that would be sort of difficult to work around or change (but i think it's great from a game design perspective). what i mean is like, okay: you start with 5 max hp. there isn't really a way to raise this max hp, you just slowly gain abilities (assets) that make you less likely to have to lose the hp in the first place, or that make it easier to recover. when you encounter foes, you rank them on a scale of 1 -5, and enemies on the lowest side of this scale do one harm to you, while enemies on the highest side do five harm to you. so even though encountering an epic enemy won't always be deadly due to the assets you have, they are ALWAYS capable of taking you down to 0 hp with one good hit. so the feeling of threat is much more present compared to games where your character starts to be able to just tank and push through a failure or huge threat.

admittedly also i'm playing solo, im still learning how to balance combat, and also i built a character who has NO combat talents and iron (the close quarters fighting stat) is one of my lowest stats so i personally am under much more threat than if you built a character who knew how to fight or who could do deadly harm. but also the other thing about combat is it's extremely difficult to maintain control of the fight; you have to score a strong hit to do it on basically all moves, and there's a really limited pool of moves available when you don't have the initiative, and obviously none of them really favour you. i don't know that this makes combat genuinely more difficult, but it does make you feel like the fight is always about to spiral out of your control. every second you let it drag without decisive action feels like it brings you closer to dying. like i said, this is a feature of the game design and not a problem in any way. just thinking about it because when i was initially learning i was going to try to supplant it into a homebrew fantasy world of my own but the tone just wouldn't be right. and that it is somewhat difficult to replicate the kind of worlds that i typically play or run for dnd, which tend to lean somewhat sillier and definitely much higher fantasy

but i like to try new things and tbh especially in dnd i find that i very rarely feel that sense of threat and when i do feel it, it has nothing at all to do with the actual mechanics and reality of the combat and everything to do with how well the dm sells it to me and makes it sound and feel scary and dangerous. which is a testament to what a good gm can do for you but i do appreciate the threat feeling more built-in and also being actually real.

#good idea generator #kas plays ironsworn #am giving it a tag because i will continue to talk about this. its my blog #idk i just find in dnd like. players often FEEL threatened WAY before they actually are threatened #which makes it really hard to balance combat because players treat evenly matched fights like hopeless death traps #so instead they do underleveled combat that feels boring for some hard to pin down reason #but like. the reason is even though you're nervous about the dm's description and the things the monsters can do #there is no real threat. especially in bigger parties where the players DOMINATE action economy. they are always in control #so of course it gets boring. it drags out so everyone can take their turn but it never forces you to make difficult choices #or to totally exhaust all your abilities. after awhile the combats start to feel same-y #because even if the monster is different. you never have to do anything different to defeat it #ofc this is a subjective assessment and also if youre reading this and we play dnd together this is not a gripe abt our table i love u #i think it's really easy to get trapped doing this esp in tables which like rp more than combat #because its also like. once you're used to a certain balance of combat if your dm suddenly threw you a big one #you assume that this is a uniquely large threat in the narrative as well (rather than a rebalancing attempt)#and treat it accordingly. which is to say with way too much caution because it isnt actually that big of a threat #so then as a dm when you have to maintain the feeling of threat and the mechanical threat #(especially when sometimes the mechanical line between 'cakewalk' and 'tpk' is razor thin #and is more about the initiative order and luck than anything else)#you start to prioritize the feeling of threat. which is imo the right call always #but its just after awhile when you feel the threat but nothing ever happens to anybody. the dissonance starts to affect the table #also balancing dnd combat as a dm is really hard and often requires a LOT of on the fly adaptation #because sometimes the CR is useless and you don't know how it's gonna do until the dice are on the table already #anyway. my point is that im enjoying how ironsworn handles this problem

I hope everyone has had an amazing start to the new year, I know it can be tough and January lowkey sucks but it will get better! 2022 for me was a long year of recovery and somehow I'm kinda clean (although I still don't know how to feel about it, especially when people comment on how much 'better' I'm doing but I'm taking it a day at a time.) Anyways, I kinda feel like 2023 might be a good-ish year so I hope it is for you too <3

ps. I know this list is early but I'm like a toddler who gets to excited to wait for anything and ruins it, so here is the early but one of my favourite rec lists to make. (idk why but it was particularly fun this month lol)

this year I'm also gonna try putting out some decent content starting with my fics (available here). I'm currently only writing for Steve and Eddie from Stranger things but in the future I may try writing for other fandoms (the Xavier Thorpe fic was a self indulgent piece idk if I'll carry on writing for him though), I'd really appreciate anyone to give feedback and reblog cause it keeps me motivated (pls I'm actually begging for some attention lmao my last two fics have got like zero attention and I genuinely don't know if I'm a shit writer or something else lmao, pls even if you hate it lmk! I'll take anything atp).

anyways... ignore my rambles as always, the last piece of news im sharing is my new series I'm starting soon! where I'll be diving into the history of metal and what it means to the community etc so if thats something you'd be interested in you are more than welcome to join the army of maggots I've got going on (I say an army but I'm pretty sure it's just me lol).

[please respect writers terms, I am not responsible for what kind of content you consume but please be aware that minors will be blocked if they chose to interact with 18+ content.]

20 questions for fic writers

stole this from my best friend. if you'd also like to do it, please go for it and tag me in it huhu

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

60! which is. a lot of works but i've been posting since 2015

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

623,307. i hope to hit 1 million words by the end of 2025 >:)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

everything is kookmin these days but once upon a time i wrote other bts pairings and before that i wrote for ikon and got7 (and before that aka before ao3: exo, bap, block b, beast, harry potter, naruto, kingdom hearts....god idk there are a lot of fandoms lol)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

i like how desperate you seem (in the way you look at me) if i get in, i just might drown i glow pink in the night shine a light through the dark the moon keeps calling out to me, but i only ever hear your name

5. Do you respond to comments?

no, but i did promise myself to respond to comments again in 2024. starting with the ones left on my latest fic.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

uuhhh...probably i might not make it. simply because it's an mcd fic and spoilers! jk is dead throughout the fic and the fics ends like that...

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

lol i think pretty much all of my fics end with a happy ending aka the pairing ends up together, happily in love.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

100%. lot of fandom drama involved with writing exclusively btm!jm. i've gotten anon msgs telling me to "kms", people hoping i get raped, murdered, my body never found etc etc. you name it, i've seen it. all because they hate that i write btm!jm.

i do think fandom has gotten less insane over this very recently but i am also just way less available and have a much smaller social media presence so lack of access to me has probably reduced the hate, too. plus i'm not actively part of fandom these days so people care about me less, which is great!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

it's my favourite thing to write! i do need to get back into it though...also was not aware there are types of smut? i guess the rly nasty kind rjfkndk i like pretty much most kinks/fetishes and think it's fun to explore them.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i have written three crossover fics! >:) two were bobby (ikon)/jimin and one was jaebum (got7)/jimin.

craziest one was probably oh boy, don't be shy since it's basically bobby finds jimin's dildo and then dp's jimin :D

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

multiple times.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes, i used to allow translations but it got to a point where people would ask to translate and then never come back to link their translations. plus, i've had people link me to fics that were translated without my permission.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

yes! two of them :)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin kookmin

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

god, i have so many wips i want to write that it's always like...whatever sticks. my current wip tracker has 30 fic ideas on it. i rly want to write this mafia au but i have 2 supernatural aus i also want to write very badly...

there is also a collab fic i rly want to write with my friend bee, which i hope to finish, but idk if we will. i just rly love writing hurt/comfort jgfkd

16. What are your writing strengths?

i'm very good at writing emotion. it's important to me that the reader feels and understands what my characters are feeling and feels that connection to the fic. i'm also good at writing porn for this reason. i'm also very good at worldbuilding and i will put in the research and care to ensure my worldbuilding makes sense and is as accurate as possible and failing that, as believable as possible. moreover, i am just a dedicated researcher. because i write for a korean boyband, it's important to me that i do the research into korean history, customs, current social etiquette etc. it's actually a huge pet peeve of mine to see people just make stuff up or have the fic be entirely westernised/americanised but the boys are all in korea.

i think i'm also good at consistent characterization and at pacing/flow in my work. these are both rly important to me and i've worked on them a lot over the years. i think this also lends to me being pretty good at plotting a fic out so that it's not long and drawn out or that i'm not taking the time to explore certain aspects i've introduced. balance is important!

i think i'm also pretty versatile. i can write different genres pretty easily (eg. i love writing action sequences and am good at making sure the pacing is rly fast and then slowing down when something romantic or suspenseful happens) and am good at like setting a certain vibe/tone for a fic.

finally, i am dedicated to improving. i don't think fanfic writers necessarily owe this to readers (fic writing being a hobby) but writing is really important to me and so it's important to me that i improve and challenge myself.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

i need to read more! i need to expand my vocabulary and learn how to better write metaphors. my imagery could use work, my dialogue definitely needs work. i want to write my characters with a more unique voice versus everyone kind of sounding the same. i want to make sure each character has their own "quirks" the way real people do.

i need to learn to write better description, too, as i think setting can do a lot for setting the mood/tone for a fic. a lot of my short-comings just come down to me reading too little so i need to read more and i need to dissect my favourite fics and books and pinpoint what i found compelling about them.

i also need to challenge myself to write more plot-heavy fics and to be unafraid to write characters who are unlikable or appear irredeemable. i want to write fic that has one main plot but a million little subplots and i want all of these things to come together coherently. i want my work to explore themes that are important to me!

i don't care so much about grammar but probably, i need to get better at that too haha

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

since i write fic for bangtan who are korean, i don't think it's ever necessary to write dialogue in another language. it comes across as cringey (derogatory) and borders on racist imo

19. First fandom you wrote for?

uh, beyblade? lolololol

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

i think it's my favourite rn because i just finished writing it lol but sorry about the blood in your mouth (i wish it were mine)

i am also very fond of i thought he remembered me; he took me back so tenderly because i love writing space aus! sci-fi is one of my fav genres!

#writing memes #this is just for me lol

ou really wont know when your time is up.

That was a lesson I re-learned today.

I was supposed to go out last Saturday night with Tumblr Friend, Reynaldo but decided to first join my family for dinner. Food at home is always simple and made from scratch but it is always delicious, nonetheless.

For starters we had our version of a Wendy’s Salad Bar which was wiped out the moment it landed on the table lol .

Anyways, during the meal dad noticed i was sweating profusely despite the airconditioner, running.

“Baka mainit lang talaga” I said pero on top of the sweating, both my arms started to hurt and my chest was heavy like there’s a hollow block on top of it.

“let me check your vitals” A quick BP by my step-mom showed 160/100.

then i turned pale and became weak.

the next i remember was being wheeled to Makati Med by my cousins since the oldies are not allowed at the ER.

to cut the story short, I had a heart episode last week that demanded hospital confinement.

I had six doctors total... cardio, pulmo, endo, two others I don’t recall and the ex bf who was at PGH but rushed to check on me.

multiple tests done like 2D echo, stress test, even my legs went for an ultrasound because they (doctors) cant detect a stable pulse. then there were the constant pricking and inserting of needles on both hands...i lost count of the procedures.

all i wanted was to sleep but the constant flow of people in my room did not allow me some snooze time. did i mention that it took them four hours to get me a room (which I totally understand) of course I wont settle for a ward lodging not because I am maarte and shit. But the reality that I snore, I fart so loud and shriek at needles, makes me nahihiya to sleep in a room full of strangers.

i take that back. maarte nga ako. I frowned when i heard that a small private was the only available accommodation left. I was telling myself, tutal magbabakasyon nalang ako sa hospital sana maayos yung room. thankfully, the room given to me was pretty big and spacious. sorry na po.

i can’t tell you much about my situation since we are still waiting for the cardiologist to relay the real score.

kwento ko nalang yung food. i was on a “low-salt, low-fat, diabetic and hypo-allergenic diet”

sounds too harsh, you’d think but thanks to the very good dietician/nutritionists, the portioned food served to me was good.

I had lean tapa and papaya for breakfast...

and Robitussin flavored jellos for dessert.

again, nothing is clear on what happened to me. one thing is for sure, this body of mine is neglected and is starting to go weak.

the lesson was simple. i need to take care of my body. this is not mine, it was only lent for a purpose.

siguro in the next couple of days mag goal settings ako. sana maging consistent yung determination ko to change my lifestyle. sana capable pa ako magbago.

thank you, dad for footing my bill.

thank you to cousins who looked after me.

thank you to the doctors, nurses, medtech and hospital staff who were so patient, caring and made my stay comfortable.

thank you to the ex, who stayed and watched over me.

and thanks to all (bawi ako sa yo, Rey) who cared and offered to be near me.

You’re weird. I have literally never interacted with a single person on this app. After being on here now for about 10 years, never have I come across such demanding and entitled people but in these anime and K-POP fandoms. Everyone’s account is THEIR blog! Who are you to tell people how to use their blog and what for in order for them to enjoy your content?? It is not your right to try and force people out of their comfort zones for your benefit. Blocking silent readers because it bothers you literally makes no sense when they are “fans” too. All I can imagine is you acting like a tyrant child *pouting* crosses arms and stomps foot, “Hmmph! Their not interacting with and boosting my blog the way I want them to!” LOL the way it actually makes me laugh… Likes aren’t good enough for you??? If someone likes the fic that means THEY LIKE IT dummy. Silent readers are silent for a reason I don’t want anyone’s attention on me what so over. So, the least I can do to show my appreciation is through a like and if I REALLY like you I’ll follow your blog. A lot of people feel the same way everywhere on the internet not just Tumblr. It just seems to me you’re pissed because you want more attention because “I feel I work so hard on these fics!” You feel like you deserve more attention, but you won’t be getting it from us. Also, it shouldn’t matter that other people like your writings. Do you like it? Is it good enough to you? Good. Then that is all that matters. People have gotten way to needy for validation the only person’s approval you need is your own. Just admit you want more attention because with your attitude… seems like you don’t do it because you love writing… just seems like you like and wish for the attention that comes with it. Anyways, and since I do still like your writings (Not particularly your personality, thank goodness that has nothing to do with your writings.) I’ll continue to enjoy through Google!😘❤️

Sending me this fat essay on my birthday😂😭

So, the least I can do to show my appreciation is through a like and if I REALLY like you I’ll follow your blog.

Oh my god how honoured I am that you REALLY liked my blog enough to follow me, but I’m glad I blocked you because selfish people like you following me make me uncomfortable so yeah! I’ll be continuing to block people who don’t reblog their fave fics.

“Forcing people out of their comfort zones.”

You’re literally a faceless person on the internet reading anime porn whether you reblog a dick or not. Still don’t know who you are, still will never know who you are.

As I’ve said countless times, I really don’t mind if you read my shit through ao3 (it’s fully available there I think I’m only a few posts behind), I just don’t want you following me? But hey, I’ll take the compliment that even though you seemingly hate authors that you’re still going to continue reading my shit.

It’s literally so mindblowing to me that you took the time to type this out because I upset you by blocking you, but you’ll never send an author/artist you like a comment this long showing them some appreciation— even on anon. Don’t you think that’s really the issue?

Also the first line you said “Everyone’s account is THEIR blog” which is the exact reason why I chose to block you. The same way you can continue to be unsupportive and selfish on your blog?

I’ve been on Tumblr well over 10 years and this might actually be the weirdest ask I’ve ever received? And I’ve received some fucking weird ones.😂💀

totk next 15 minutes

thinking about all the art I’ve seen of link falling through the sky with his white toga fluttering around him and I’m convinced that the shirt must be in the starting cave somewhere.

Consequently, I reloaded a save and spent my entire next 20-minute play section crawling around the top of the cavern walls like a spider

searching for something glowing blue in this mist (helpful that the treasure chests do this now) and I just don’t--is this one of those things where you have to squint at every corner of the screen because I’m getting too old for this rofl

okay my ideas are:

- it’s at some ledge around the misty upper parts of this place that you have to climb to

- it’s at some platform you have to jump to, maybe by not choosing the auto-dive option (the last big room seems like a candidate for this...)

- ((Nearly lost all my hearts trying this))

- there’s a hanging wall of vines somewhere that’s blocking an alcove that you have to slash through with the sword (it wouldn’t be the first time this tripped me up lol, I remember being stuck at a part of the castle in ALttP because I didn’t know how to get past this curtain and all I had to do was swing the sword at it rofl)

the big room seems like it has the most potential hiding places, if only this place weren’t so misty it’s difficult to make out ....

Okay I am now going to read the comment on my last post which says “the shirt is a bit hard to find” (I read that far and then stopped reading to see if I could find it first)--OKAY. “It’s not in the starting cave” THANK YOU @fore-seer you have saved me countless more 20-minute play sessions of frustration 😭 I am going to reload my lilypad save

(So all these pictures of Link falling through the clouds in full sky deity garb are NOT about the starting jump then? So it’s like the OoT title screen where Link is always riding his horse but she’s actually really difficult to get rofl ...or wait, I don’t remember now if any of these pictures I saw were official or if I have this impression entirely from fanart 😂 Maybe it’s like the champion’s tunic in BotW and isn’t available at the start)

Hi Sivsi! I was wondering if you had any advice on getting into needle felting? (I thought I saw at some point you had some thoughts on what wools are good or bad to start with?)

I need a craft for some craft nights I will be doing with some friends, and I have always been extremely inspired by the Laudna figure you made. I haven't done needle felting before, but I have made fabric & fiber figures other ways, so I am game to give needle felting a try! I would appreciate any tips you'd care to share. Your felted stuff is lovely.

Hi!! Firstly thank you for your compliments and ty for giving me an excuse to ramble haha (tho hopefully this big block of text won’t make things too intimidating!)

I’ve actually made a list of beginners items for a few others have asked. I go briefly into what they are + what they’re used for so hopefully it’s a good place to start as an overview of what you might invest in. I’ve also tried linking to only one or two shops (US based) to make it convenient and primarily share one of my biggest go-to Etsy shops! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CaqjPi0l9-XCEJ_aU6c8m2p2bVEpy5Q56WdtU0XoTKY/edit

I think, following these links, would be the recommendation to avoid felting kits. They ideally should make things more convenient for beginners, but unfortunately tend to just be cheap cash grabs with inadequate supplies that seem to make things as user-hostile even for advanced felters. There are some really good ones out there, but the downside is that they’re coming from professional felters/small businesses and (understandably) necessitate a bigger price point. Fun if you know what you want and you want to learn from pros, but not always ideal if you’re completely new to felting and don’t want to spend $50 on one project’s worth of materials.

Next up is, like you’ve said, wool! i do mention this a bit in the above doc, but the biggest thing with wool is to avoid roving. Since you’ve done other fiber art before, I’m sure you’re aware of the difference, but for those who aren’t: roving is wool with a long fiber-length that’s been combed and straightened out for yarn spinning. In needlefelting, it can be good for longer fur or hair, but it’s horrendous to try and do sculptural work with and not ideal as your color layer, either. I stress this point because unfortunately roving is the most commonly available and unless you know to avoid it, most of what you’ll come across in stores and kits is going to give you a bad impression of what felting is capable of.

Instead, what you want to look for is carded wool. Wool that has been processed in a way that encourages the interlocking of crimped fibers until a large batt has formed. Variations can occur depending on the breed of wool, but generally carded wool is going to be very easy to sculpt and shape with your needles and will provide good color and detailing as well.

(Roving vs carded)

That all being said, there’s a lot of different terminology in regards to wool specifications. Different breeds of wool will have different looks and feels to how they work, and it can be daunting when you don’t really know what you’re looking at. I’d highly recommend not stressing over it at first. As long as you’ve got carded wool you should be fine, and over time you’ll start to get a feel for what you like best/will be able to recognize their specifications and labeling as you go.

similar can be said about needles. there are a bunch of different needle shapes that supposedly do different things, but literally the only thing that truly matters is sizing. Large needles (lower gauge) for initial/bulk work, and finer (higher gauge) needles for colors and detail sculpting. Needle breakage is fairly common, so you can even just get a bulk variety pack off Amazon or something to begin with. Most of mine are from a bulk pack my mom bought years ago and only a couple are the “specialty” kinds. I would swear by my 42 spiral needle but I also wouldn’t die without it lol

Back on the topic of wool real quick - wool can be blended! If you’re in a pinch you can use blending to make new colors/shades, but I particularly would’ve loved to know abt this when I got started so that color transitions wouldn’t have been so damn hard lmao

Wire armatures! Armatures aren’t always necessary, however the more you felt the more likely you are to need to build one eventually. There are several methods, but the sturdiest and most versatile imo are ones that incorporate twisting wire together to build it up. I feel like people find these intimidating, but they’re actually super easy once you get the hang of it and are going to be far less fiddly than trying to tape or glue wire together.

(I couldn’t find any tutorials on this method so here’s a shitty doodle instead lol. The main thing is to make sure both wires are wrapping around each other evenly, but otherwise the formula of Neck > Shoulders > leave wire for arms> Spine > Hip > Legs is the same across species and the only change is proportional)

Regarding armatures, I’d recommend a line of glue along your wire for the first layer of your wool wrap, as wire has very little grip to it otherwise and it can make things fiddly! after that first layer is on it should be fine, though.

Pastel works great as addition coloring! Typically pastel is known for needing a lot of fixative layers to stick to clay, plastic, vinyl, etc but because of the tightly felted texture of wool, the soft pastel powder works its way into the layer of fibers so deeply that I’d almost call it unforgiving if you mess up because it will not come out. I don’t know how well it reacts to prolonged/repetitive exposure to the oils on your hand, but given that a lot of it rests within the surface of the felt, I don’t think you’re actually going to be coming into contact with much of it by handling the colored areas. Nothing tracks onto my hands or comes out, even as I’m running it under water. Idk how relevant any of this rambling is but pastels are new experimentation for me and im gonna ramble abt it anyway lol

I think to try and wrap it up I’ll link a list of artists I really like on YouTube. Felting has always felt like an underrated, misunderstood craft to me and as a result I feel like the learning of techniques is a lot more closely communal, in a way, and also harder to find resources on when I was first starting out. A lot of what I’ve learnt has come down to closely watching the processes of others and making friends in the craft. Aside from me being a felting geek and finding process vids entertaining in general, these are some creators I feel like I’ve really learnt something from!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19pw0jmqC97IG88LfMxe0quMrmPmYYmP8qGH7igDNuh8/edit

#Needlefelting #i feel like there’s more im forgetting rn lol but if you ever have anymore questions please feel free to send them my way!#i hope this helps and ty for your patience

nat 20, crit fail, prep and tpk!

nat 20: What's the most memorable RP scene you've been a part of?

I know this is technically a question for me as a player but as a DM, there was an exchange with one of my players (in blue) as this little kid NPC (in red) after they'd saved him from a pretty horrible massacre that just went:

"Have you seen people die?"

"Yeah."

"Did you like them too?"

"Yeah. But there's nothing I could do for them. And they're happier where they are now."

"I wish you could be happy too."

"Yeah."

Which just got me real in my feelings about Mr. Mumford and made me real proud of his player :)

crit fail: Have you ever had a character death? What happened?

I personally have not! I think that's in part because the longest campaigns I've been in as a player were only over about 7 or eight months, so I haven't had a ton of opportunity to be thrust into mortal peril. Although I guess you never know lol, especially at lower levels.

prep: How much prep work do you do? How far out do you prep?

I would say it varies session to session, which is probably normal. I've played around with completely homebrewing some shorter sessions, but there honestly isn't a place for that in my work life balance, so I've turned to running published material (namely Curse of Strahd). That takes a lot of the burden of prep off, since I more rarely am designing things from scratch-- although I do my fair share of modification, and there still is plenty of stuff that I have to figure out myself! For most games I will make sure I have the sections that I will need from the book marked out and available, and especially if looks like it's gonna be a sort of open-ended RP game, I'll write out certain guidelines for myself into my campaign notebook so it's easier for me to keep track of things (I also do this for combat, in that I'll usually write a few lines about major figures' goals, if they're relevant, and maybe their first move or two). I try not to prep much beyond what I think will fit in a session (because I frankly don't have time), but sometimes I overestimate, and will end up with notes that last me three sessions. But beyond sort of vague notions of bigger picture building blocks that are moving in the background, I try to only prep stuff I think will be immediately pertinent. And I do trust my improv skills enough where a lot of that will be vague sketching! For example, in CoS there's a festival that's upcoming in one of the major cities, but the book has truly no information about what the festival itself entails beyond sort of a morbid procession, so I went into that game with an opening scene, a vague thought about ring toss, and a vague thought about local card sharks, and just kind of played it by ear from there. And it was one of our most fun games! I do prep a LOT for combat though-- we play on roll20 so I'm cobbling together maps (which usually will take an hour or so depending) and will often times write out entire stat blocks so I don't have to be looking for them. I do use the dnd beyond encounter tracker some of the time, but in big, complicated encounters, I find that can actually make my life extra confusing, so I do a lot of handwriting shit out on paper.

tpk: Have you ever had a game go completely off the rails? TPK? How did you adjust?

I did in fact facilitate a TPK in my current campaign which was !!!! yeah I would say off the rails is putting it mildly! The entire party was slaughtered by dire wolves, which was a random encounter on the way to a completely different objective so. very unexpected. It was one of those games that truly makes you feel insane, and it was almost entirely down to rolls-- I was rolling very well for these wolves (I think I crit 3 or 4 times?) and they were rolling extremely poorly. It was honestly easier for me that everyone went out than just a few people, because it meant that I could make on the fly decisions for the group and no one had to sit out the rest of the session. So, once the last person went down I gave everyone a kind of solo limbo vignette where we zeroed in on some character/backstory stuff for each of them, just to kind of settle everyone (which was really fun to do, especially since there's a lot they don't know about each other's histories, some more than others), and took a five minute recess to figure out what to do next-- I was lucky that unbeknownst to the party, they were on their way to knock on the door of a hag coven, who had their own reasons to want them alive, so I ended up having them all wake up as their captives. Congrats, you made it to where you were going! Sorry, you're still fucked! And THAT ended up being one of the most fun, intense encounters we've run. And I certainly am weaving some threads in the background about how exactly they survived and what the long-term consequences of that are.

#thank u truths! the whole list of questions is great #there are. definitely more off the rails examples i could have given #but u know the literal TPK was a big one #ask #impossibletruths #placeholder campaign tag #it speaks

Did Vicky and Gabe have a falling out or something?

so to be brief-- vicky was about ten years younger than gabe and experienced a lot of harassment as one of the only women playing on warped tour and in pop punk type bands from the 2000s.

a former member of cobra starship named elisa, who vicky replaced, accused gabe of emotional abuse when she left and later wrote a marie claire article about it. when she was kicked out of the band the the band responded with a 27 page hate letter. i am not exaggerating. it is no longer available online because it happened on absolutepunk.net and the owner of absolutepunk.net has blocked it from the wayback machine but it was 27 pages. this happened in like 2007 or something, so instead of cobra having their careers destroyed everyone sided with them.

vicky went on this girls podcast after she saw the marie claire article because she didnt know anything about that and the band had presented a different story about what happened with elisa to her.

this podcast was very long, about two hours, and the girl running it seemed a bit, um, unwell? she had been a host on howard stern after being on cobra and was apparently a sugar baby and a lot of people calling into the podcast were perverted old men verbally abusing her and she had this elderly "fiance" who also called in with some other girl bragging about cheating on her. it was incredibly weird and incredibly long and convoluted but and difficult to get through but vicky seemed kind of freaked out

its been years since i watched this so im fuzzy on the details, but vicky basically shared in this interview/podcast that her time in cobra was very difficult and traumatic for her even though she has a lot of fond memories of that time

she said things like gabe was very controlling and would do things like threaten to fire her if she didnt wear what he wanted and that she would cry a lot.

the other guys in the band bullied her so extensively that she would often go hang out on blink182s bus because they were nicer to her. she said that if she tried to interact with the rest of cobra or guys in other bands she would get called slutty/a whore, but if she didnt and kept to herself she would get called rude and frigid.

i think she said nate was very nice, she said that gabe was also very protective of her even though he could also be an asshole, she said ryland was the worst and incredibly mean. she did speak very highly of patrick lol

ultimately she said she wasnt ready for the band to break up-- which makes sense, she was so much younger than everyone else (gabe was 32, vicky was 23) they were ready to settle down and start families and move into the business side of the industry and she wanted to keep touring and doing music

she said she and gabe ended up cool and theyre still friends but ryland was really nasty to her if she ever wanted the band to catch up. i do think its telling regarding their relationship that victoria was the only one involved in the cobra reunion stuff whereas ryland and everyone else wasnt

again because the interview was so strange and long and everyone hates vicky not many people have seen this or know about it

i know there are a lot of problematic things about vicky that shouldnt be excused, but i really respect and admire her for being like essentially the only girl on warped (hayley williams is a diff convo idk if she was even on warped) and surviving an environment like that

When it comes to your original fiction did you post them on tumbler before making them available as an e-book. I want to write original work but am scared of posting it on here or a03.

Hi anon!

I actually personally (I can't stress this enough, this is a me thing) really hate posting (and reading) fic on Tumblr. You can't tag it properly and people can't filter it out effectively, it's a pain to read (lots of scrolling), and it's a pain to archive. So that was definitely never an option for me!

My original novels never went anywhere before they became novels, partly because if you 'dry run' stories like that, Amazon and other distributors can get tetchy and say it's no longer a first edition and sometimes even pull your ebooks offline without enough paperwork, lol. So I just...would not do that because even if it all works out, knowing how other authors have been treated re: this issue, I would not!

I'm a big believer in just kind of taking the leap and putting fic up wherever you feel comfortable. If that's AO3 or Tumblr, then do it! The fear is normal, it is a normal part of writing, and a normal part of facing that gap between 'only I've seen it' to 'now other people will see it.' The good news is you can always delete the fic if you don't like it. On AO3 you can delete any comments you don't like. But those kinds of worst case scenarios are incredibly rare.

What's (sadly) more likely is just that not many people will necessarily read it at first, until more people start finding your writing and your tags, and that can take a little time!

It can be good sometimes to sit down and really figure out what you're scared of re: posting a story. Because a lot of the fears have concrete answers:

Scared of people hating it? Most people will just click away if it's not their thing, and if they try and make it your problem, you can delete and/or block everything to do with them.

Scared no one will notice it? Well, that is actually a normal part of writing for almost all of us when we just start out. You're part of a huge community of writers experiencing exactly the same thing you are. You are never alone as a writer, even when it feels lonely. Sometimes you can find Discords and similar groups to get more notice, but often it's just a matter of taking the time to put more words out there.

Scared someone will be mean to you? Understandable! However, you don't deserve bullying from anyone. Block these people and then go find a space that feels good to you or watch something that feels wholesome or go outside or do something that doesn't feel 'chronically online.' (It's amazing how much trolls don't matter as much when you're looking at a sunset, or eating your favourite food).

These are all pretty universal fears in writing (and the arts) before posting something, and after posting something, and I wish I could tell you they'll all go away one day, but I think what happens for many of us instead is that we learn more tools to deal with these fears. It helps knowing that most folks get them to some degree, and most of us have learned ways to deal with them - that's why authors will tell you to block trolls and delete troll comments, and that's why authors will reassure you that they started out in a place where no one noticed them at first too, and that's why authors will sometimes talk about how folks have been mean to them and how they were impacted by it, but also remembered to ground / reminded themselves who their real friends are - and that doesn't necessarily stop the fear and the pain, but the solidarity can help.

Post your writing on Tumblr (ignore my personal thoughts on Tumblr fiction, that's just my feelings and they are not universal lol, lots of people love Tumblr fics), post it on AO3, post it on Tumblr first and then AO3 later!

AO3 is a great place to put fics, because you can write about anything and put it up literally any time, and even orphan it / make it anonymous or delete it if you want to. You have complete creative control.

You'll never get to see what's on the other side of your fears if you don't take the leap.

But it's also okay if you're just not ready yet. :)

#asks and answers #pia on writing #pia on fanfiction #i know so many authors #who feel this feeling before posting every new story #you get better at managing the fear #but it never fully leaves #(at least for many of us)#i wish you luck anon!#please know that someone out there needs to read your story #and your version of your story #more than you could ever know #it might take them a while to find you #but they'll never find you if you never put the work up

PSA: ART "REQUESTS"

Okay, so I got this ask from anon in my box right now. Asking if I can draw Rooster with their OCs. First off, I don't post my art here. The most I have done is show off my coloring, so I don't know if they are just pestering people randomly. Secondly, Secondly...

Third: Asking for art requests from people you don't know is incredibly rude. Hell, it is even rude if you do know them. Art commissions have existed for YEARS. If you want the work done commission it, pay people. Most people who do have commission available will have it listed clearly on their page. If they don't you can always ask if they do commissions, but you should assume that they don't until you ask. Wait to request a commission until you know.

Fourth: You need to have a good description when commissioning someone. What I have in my ask box isn't good enough. You left out skin tone for one thing (am I supposed to assume they are white, lol what the fuck?). You didn't describe the scene as a happy one, so the commissioner could go another way with it. There are not enough basic things here to make a piece you know you would be happy with. Picrew is a great site for showing art refs for the person you are commissioning what your ocs look like.

Five: Now you might be saying "But that costs a lot of money" and you would be right.....

So what's your point? If you want art you either have to pay someone or learn how to do it yourself. Thems the breaks.

Six: Okay this is incredibly important. If I see this sort of thing in my ask box again from ANYONE in the tgm community I will block you. I don't care if you think the request was nice. I have stated I don't do writing prompts or requests when it comes to writing. Why do you think I would do art ones?

Anyway, that's all I got to say. I don't need an apology. It could be possible you weren't aware of these things anon.

However, you are now. And I do expect better behavior from you and the community at large from now on.

I am done being nice about this.

Hiya Lane! Another day - another message from Santa! 🎅🏻

Today is a bit of a sad day for Hanoi Rocks fans, but I love watching All Those Wasted Years (Live at Marquee) concert, it lifts my spirits. Maybe you also have a favorite Hanoi Rocks performance? Today I started with a sad damn thing. It turns out to be some kind of depressive Santa lmao

Omg!! The glam festival is wonderful! Which groups are already known?

It sounds pretty funny about national holidays! The King and two birthdays hehe

Oh, I'm sorry that your work week was quite busy :( If it's not a secret, who do you work for? I work in a vinyl store and sometimes it can be too boring lol

Wow!! What's your cat's name?

And I'm sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹

Wow, this is an amazing top album! Ultraphobic, in my opinion, is very underrated. Your playlist is very cool and diverse! I like it!

🎄 Do you have a favorite hobby?

🎄 Where would you like to travel and why?

🎄 Your favorite time of the year and association with it?

Your Santa ⛄️ 🎄

hey santa!

i was a little confused on the hanoi rocks thing until i remembered time zones & it's probably still the 8th wherever you are! i haven't watched any live performances of theirs, i can't seem to do that for any groups i like for some reason? theres one single faster pussycat live cover i listened to from last years glamfest in my country that i listened to, but only because it was an inxs song that i really connect with

i do have some favourite hanoi songs though: don't follow me, a million miles away, cutting corners, & underwater world to name a few

the few artists they have already announced for glamfest are jetboy, janet gardner, the cruel intentions (all international), and ablaze, sisters doll (local acts). i'm hoping for michael monroe as he is in japan the week before which would make travel easy and would line up with the hints we've been given! i'm also hoping for firehouse and also a newer aussie band called southern river band who i actually saw earlier this year, they're awesome!

i can't say the company i work for just for online safety reasons but i work as a piercer! i'm still training so i am an apprentice but it's super fun!! it's so cool you work in a record store tho i feel like that's something i could see myself doing in an alternate reality

my cat's name is bandit!

thank you! i do pride myself on my spotify & my music taste and i have probably over 200 playlists at this point just from getting random ideas for silly little playlists that i think huh that would be fun (and then i end up having three songs and abandon)

ultraphobic is soooo underrated and i am SO upset that it (+belly to belly) isn't available at all to stream in my country! i'm even blocked from listening on youtube! i had to buy copies on cd (from overseas mind you, they only sell the first three albums and then the best of compilation here) and download the files from there and add them as local files so i could listen with the rest of my stuff.

okok question time i love this part

i have a few hobbies; i've recently been doing a few art classes and discovered i'm kinda ok at drawing so that's fun! i also do a bit of photoshop and make stupid t shirts n stuff (those were my christmas gifts to everyone last year)

i'd like to travel more within my own country as i've only been to one other state, and one territory, i'd also like to visit some of my online friends in the us & canada! and also just europe in general for touristy stuff

i used to say i hate summer and to a degree i kiiinda still do? like i don't like australian summer weather and the heat BUT i kinda have to let up on that and realise that i end up being the happiest at this time of the year and somehow all my stress happens around the middle of the year (and my birthday and christmas both happen in summer so....)

nice to hear from you!!!

get it together, Steph! <3

Do you prefer hardly toasted at all or burnt toast? I like a little to a medium toasting. I'd set the toaster as low as I could that would give the bread a touch of color in high school when I'd slam toasted peanut buttered bread in my face going out the door in the morning.

What time do you have to be out of bed by on a typical day? My alarm goes off at 8:40am and I try to leave by 9:25, but neither of those are hard and fast so long as I get to work by 10:00.

When was the last time you cleaned your bedroom? (looking around) WAAAY too long.

In real life do you laugh like 'haha', 'hehe' or something else? heh heh

Do you know anyone who says things like 'lol' in real life? I do that, I admit, and my nerdiest of friends likely do that too.

Do you have any unusual skills? According to a few people: I can make your toes curl once or twice more than you thought you were capable of.

Do you have any bug bites right now? Too cold for that presently.

Is there anything annoying you at the moment? Tædium vitæ.

Who's your favourite person? This space available.

Are you more of a cat or dog person? Kitties!

Do you live out of the nearest town? Not really, the town I live in has two distinct parts and I'm not in the downtown portion, I'm in the over-hill-and-dale part.

Do you like to look at other peoples' houses? I do, I like to see design styles and decorations.

Are there any chores you actually enjoy doing? There are a few at work that I take joy in.

What's the weirdest compliment you've ever received? It's not that people have thought I looked like Gilligan or Jim Carey, it's that someone thought my catboy looked like Agent Mulder. I am not sure how a cat can resemble David Duchovne.

Do you remember all those rhymes like 'i before e except after c'? I remember the ones I was taught, but heard them more regarding music than language. "Every Good Boy Does Fine" and stuff.

When did you last have an 'Oh, I get it now!' moment? When this woman I had a date with got on her phone, texted someone, and then when her phone rang a few minutes later she answered she said "I'll call you back in 15 minutes." We started the date early because we were both there, so the date which was supposed to start at 7:00 ended at 7:10. I was thinking, "didn't you block out this period of time right here?" as I was leaving... but then I realized when she texted a friend to save her from having to spend much more time with me. [shrug emoji]

Would you say you're more witty or childish about jokes? I don't really know, my jokes run the gamut.

Do you get on with boys or girls better? Girls, historically.

Do people often confide in you? Do you like it? They do, including people I barely know, and I think it's flattering that they trust me and will confide their secrets and issues to.

Who is someone you really admire? Those who have all their shit together.

Do you prefer piano or guitar music? Probably piano.

Do you like helium balloons? They have their place in society and the ecosystem.

Have your parents ever suspected something untrue about you? They have. Thing is, more often than not the thing they have suspected about me was true and sometimes they couldn't prove it so my playing innocent/unaware of it was enough to move their suspicions (or at least visually) away from me.

Do you have any fears that seem weird to others? There probably is, but I can't think of any fears. I have things I loathe that might not seem linear but I don't complain aloud about them.

Have you ever wished you'd been born someplace else? During an argument in my teen years my father said "If it weren't for us, you'd be out in the sagebrush." No, it means I would have been adopted by a loving family instead... I don't recall if I said that out loud. Probably not, but his words trying to invoke gratitude failed.

What d'you think about videogames? I like oldschool, Atari and arcade. The ones with too many controls to fiddle with lose me.

Are there any forms of art you personally find pointless? I do feel that way about a few. But they hurt no one so I just turn away from what doesn't interest me.

What would you, or do you, study at college? BA: Interdisciplinary Bachelors in computer science and English.

Are you tired right now? Not tired, a wee bit sore, but I have had my caffiene.

Have you ever had, or wanted, a pet ferret? No.

Is there anything you find undeserving of the hype it received? Quite a few things. Mostly celebrities/media personalities. Especially the "famous for being famous" and nothing useful folks. Remember when American Idol first started and it said that it was going to make singing stars out of people? Yes, sure, it has, but how many of the winners and first runners-up have wildly popular careers? Popularity is earned, not fabricated. For every Carrie Underwood you have three "what happened to that person?" flash in the pans that might still be touring or showing up on gameshows. And I will always grin over the fact that Adam Lambert lost in Idol yet fucking JOINED QUEEN.

What's something you do a lot? Something other than what I need to be doing. Between paragraphs here I am scanning family photos that I put off for two months and now, since in three weeks I will be visiting my parents and would like to bring a CD full of those photos, I need to get momentum and do this thing in its entirety. It's just a huge project.

Are you currently on any other websites? Just this one.

Are you good at using Photoshop? I like to think I am adequate. By no means expert and I would love to have that kind of skill, but happily tutorials and instructions are plentiful online for doing the thing I need to do satisfactorily.

What were you last embarrassed about? I'm not sure. I recall there being a slight embarassment in the recent past, I don't recall what it was about, but it's seldom I feel ashamed about things in my present. Things in my past... oooh yeah.

Are there any clothing items you really want but can't find? I don't think so, however I do have a multimeter that I haven't seen in months and it's not in the toolbox so must have fallen behind the closet shelving. It's a major undertaking to get in there to look.

Have you ever been told you naturally tilt your head a certain way? No one has said that, however coworkers told me I have a distinctive walk. I credit my work boots for that noise.

What does your dream house look like? It's a Craftsman style, original (with all the wood) rather than revival (where only the curb appeal is in the style).

Do you wear a lot of make-up? Straight male here.

Do you have any projects on the go right now? As we speak. 3/4 of the way through scanning 4 images in one 126 negative strip at 2400dpi... will cut the scan into pieces this evening, I am trying to get the quantity done before focusing on quality.

What's a habit you find gross? Chewing tobacco.

Would you rather have a Poloroid or a Lomo camera? I used to have a Poloroid 600 and the photos are ass. Lomography I can dig a little more because of the surreal coloration, but my brain likes things to be as close to actual/real as possible, and I have not gotten my head around what to look for or do to create that effect. (I don't mean tutorials or filters, I mean comprehending what I am supposed to be creating and how. I know of plenty of people who post-produce their realistic photos by hand into Lomo-style and I don't see what they see to make the images what they make.)

When was the last time you were jealous? It was one week ago today. And my telling myself not to be failed because I wasn't wrong in what I thought was going to happen.

Are you one of those people who see things for sale and say 'I could've come up with that!'? It's surprising the number of things that come to market as new and brilliant that you look at and say "you know, this already existed?" or "you know, readily-available and cheaper tools work much better than this toy?" I guess there is some envy that someone's getting paid to reinvent the wheel but all they did was add pinstripes.

Do you, or did you, really look forward to when you can finally move away? I am hoping to do that myself. This 9x12 upstairs room does not bring chicks by the drove, smells like dogs, and isn't big enough for the amount of shit I have in here. However, price is a consideration, location is important, and I've put that on hold for a bit while I focus on some other stuff that is less tolerable or functional. Moving is a want and a should, not a major need or an immediate imperative.

Are you the one who holds everyone's bags at theme parks while they ride? I have never had that experience.

What's the worst tattoo you've ever seen? I've seen some truly shit-tier tattoo executions. I've also seen some really stupid ones. I don't really know, however (and I could link it), the one of the three melting skulls this guy had done was rendered really well but the guy himself looks like a sweet old grandfather. There's not a bone in his body (just the bones on his body) that fits this aesthetic. This was entirely not his style, so that's why I think it's the worst.

What's your favourite name ever? I dunno... Clarissa?

Are you a hat person? Used to be.

When was the last time you were totally grossed out? I was comparing public restroom stories with a restaurant worker recently and we both had some doozies.

Have you ever forgotten how to do something simple? Daily.

Are you ever jealous when you see couples or friends together? Yeah, yeah.

Has anyone ever approached you in the street and asked to take your picture? I was like 10 years old in the front yard when this guy drove up and said he was taking a picture of me for the paper. Okay, sure! Yeah, years later I realized it probably wasn't as innocent as that.

Have you ever disliked something just because most people liked it? This happens frequently. Overpopularity of a thing annoys me.

Does anything hurt on you right now? Inexplicably my right leg, in the muscle above the kneecap.

What song's stuck in your head? ...I heard about ten seconds of Aerosmith's "Don't Want To Miss A Thing" earlier and it's echoing in my head for some reason.

Did anyone ever tell you that earwigs crawl into your ear while you sleep? I believed that when I was a kid, and it scared me. The name "earwig" comes from "ear wiccan", as in a witch that gets into your head through your ear, so right there the species was damned by its very name. There are other insects with long pincers and long bodies like that so how did this one common bug get such a reputation?

#100 ?'s
