#I don't know why my meme quality is so low

[anistarrose]

Reasons why I, a sighted person, enjoy and benefit from seeing image descriptions:

Sometimes I'm not confident in my interpretation of a facial expression, and the ID can offer clarity

They might highlight details I otherwise wouldn't have noticed

Especially in the case of artist-described works: they might indicate a character's race/ethnicity that I otherwise couldn't tell for sure

Likewise, they might describe cultural details (food, clothing, hairstyle, etc) that I otherwise wouldn't have known the word for

Likewise, again: the same, but for terms for disability aids

Sometimes my internet is slow, and images don't load for me

Sometimes I have my screen brightness turned way down (sometimes due to eyestrain, sometimes due to low battery)

The activity feed doesn't show images, so sometimes a reblog notification starting with "ID: ..." is the only way I realize someone added a quality meme or some peer-reviewed tags to one of my posts

Sometimes my brain is just tired and reading words is easier than interpreting visual cues.

And maybe one of the most important ones:

While currently, my glasses completely correct my vision, I know that in the future, there might come a time in which I need — at the bare minimum — text from images transcribed in a format where I can adjust the font size.

And for that matter, you might need similar accommodations someday, too.

There are, of course, people who need these accommodations now, and that alone is more than enough justification to include image descriptions immediately, to start caring about accessibility immediately. Even if the pool of ID "beneficiaries" was only limited to blind/low vision people, and if it was a group of which the size would never increase, then online accessibility would be just as important.

But, in fact, there's a wide range of people for whom IDs are useful, to varying but objectively all valid degrees. And as the internet userbase ages, the proportion of disability will absolutely rise. After all, we're the largest marginalized group that anyone can join at any time!

Or, in other words: if your indifference to IDs stems from thinking that no one in your internet circle needs them, and/or thinking that you in particular will never need them? It's never too late to reconsider those assumptions. Here's some resources.

Robo-Boyfriends AU (My Sona Version) - Effort

Woe word-less comic be upon ye! I think it's very fitting with my sona being mouthless LMAO. I haven't worked on RBAU in a short while so take this thingy before I continue to work on MO again :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Explanation/vent under the cut (it's VERY long, so know you've been warned)

I'm tired. I'm tired of pretending it doesn't affect me at all. I'm tired of not wanting to express genuine frustration on my blog. I've been trying my best to keep my blog and every other platform I have as a place of escape for myself. I want it to only be filled with mostly good and optimistic things. I already get enough crap and more in my private life, I don't want to see reminders of them in places where I want to escape. Which is why I've been pretending to not see the numbers, that I don't feel under appreciated, that I don't vent as much when I want to or when I do I'm quick to delete them.

I know that many artists online go through this and have expressed their frustration on this experience-- where they put in so much effort and time on their works and they barely get any feedback or interactions or when they do get feedback it's often on the works they don't even put that much effort in. I love RBAU and Cloud Nine.. they're my AUs that basically gained the most traction here but the time and effort I gave to making those comics and random pieces of gradient-themed drawings don't even compare to the rendered pieces or the animated works I've made for them.

As much as I appreciate the reblogs and comments on the posts that reached so many people, I often wonder why it's always the works that I didn't put my all into. It makes me feel discouraged... not in continuing to draw or make creative work, but to actually put in more effort. But if I'd do that--stop putting in more effort-- then I would only make myself even more miserable as I don't like stagnation. I hate stagnation. I hate getting bored of the things that mean so much to me. Sharing my art and improving on it means too much to me.

But it's weird because I tend to observe the interactions with other blogs. They look to put in so much effort and make such beautiful rendered pieces that I adore and yet they are appreciated as deserved. While there are artists who make "shitposts" (their words) who also gain so much traction and appreciation. This observation makes the voices in my brain start correlating the quality of my work to the interactions. If I'm being completely transparent, I get these thoughts a lot. But I also don't believe them. I don't want to believe them.

Before anyone starts saying "ohhh you shouldn't attach your appreciation of your work from external factors" etc etc-- I KNOW. I am FULLY aware. I'm completely aware and have rationalized this situation over and over. That this is just how the internet goes. That these are factors I don't have control over. That my work is gold and it doesn't have to be determined as such by numbers. That someday the people who appreciate my works will find me. I. Know.

Still, knowing these things doesn't make the feelings disappear. It's like I want to be mad, and cry at the same time but also understand that I just can't really do anything about this but let it be. It's as if the more I care about a project, the less likely people will. I don't want to pretend like I don't care about a project just for it to be appreciated. But I also don't want to feel as if I'm not getting as much appreciation or attention that I think my work deserves.

I've been experimenting with my works and how I post them here on Tumblr and on YT since last year. The ones that are shitposts are seriously what gets more attention AHAHAHA I am laughing with frustration. Look, I love making memes and poking fun with characters as much as the next viewer and artist but by god. I can't just keep churning out funny haha low substance stuff in exchange for interactions. That's not the kind of artist that I am. I like making things that has lore; that has depth to them. Like how I tend to make lore heavy AUs right after getting my silly, lighthearted works blow up just to remind myself that the relationship I have with my works will not grow if I keep chasing after the interactions, the numbers by prioritizing quantity over quality.

Or maybe people just don't like my ideas? I guess that's a possibility too. Maybe my ideas just don't resonate with people enough. It's not "consumable" enough. Or maybe they don't like my art/writing/animation style. Yet more factors that's out of my control. But I also get told that people like my art, my writings, my animations. And they mean so, so much to me. But it just doesn't add up sometimes, y'know? If people like my work and stick around because they like my art no matter the fandom then why don't I see it? Thoughts like these make me feel so ungrateful actually.

I'm sure there are many people who look up to me as an artist and think how "popular" I am. I've been told this so many times. And yet, I don't feel either of those as strongly. Hell, even as I type this long vent out, I feel like people will not even care. Or worse. Perhaps they may think I'm focusing on the wrong things or think I'm being insecure and jealous of other people's well-deserved appreciation from others.

For the record, I am not. I think every single (actual, not AI) artists put in so much effort and love to their own works most of the time and if they get appreciation for it then I'm sure as hell that they've been seeking for it too and now that they're getting it and it's there then they should bask in it and rejoice. They really should.

Sigh. This is getting far too long. I'll stop here. I hope my words and my thoughts came out clearly. I'm writing this out late at night. Don't worry, I'll still be putting in the effort I've been putting in lately. I'm still going to work on MO, and give my best to make Assassin Eclipse's design to be as on par with Assassins Sun and Moon. I'm still going to write and continue the lore in the fic. I'm still going to animate the lore-heavy Welcome Home animation I've been working on slowly day by day. I just wanted to let this all out. Venting it to my friends just seem to not be enough. I gotta express it where people can see it. I think this is just my last straw too. I've been holding out for so long and 2024 really hasn't been that kind to me lately that I just can't anymore.

Anyway, the next post will be much lighter, I promise.

#sorry i focused too much on my dca related works but this also applies to all the other fandom stuff ive created on here and on YT #oh also #thank you and shout out to xit #i was having doubts on posting this before i sleep tonight #but her recent answered ask unintentionally gave me courage #hey xit! if you see this i think youre cool #robo-boyfriends au #but with my sona instead of y/n #dca fandom #fnaf sun #fnaf sundrop #fnaf daycare attendant #laursdraws #cw vent

haze

pairing: jeonghan x reader

word count: 650

genre: fluff

warnings: very sleep deprived reader, food mentions and cooking

a/n: i get almost hypnotic when i'm sleep deprived state sometimes, but that might just be me so this might not resonate with anyone at all. also sleep deprived as i'm typing this, can't judge quality.

taglist: @itsveronicaxxx @zurikyo @husbandhoshi @starlightjoong.

chop. chop. chop.

your eyes stay focused on the capsicum you're chopping, your mind not registering much more than the repeated sounds of the knife hitting the wooden board. you hardly slept two hours last night, worrying about the project presentation you had to give today (which is not ideal since sleep deprivation does not enhance presentation skills). it's your turn to make dinner today, and you had chosen simple vegetable fried rice, sure that you couldn't handle a more complicated recipe in your current state.

there's one more capsicum left - then there are carrots - then you can cook - then you can eat - then you can sleep. this sequence runs through your mind over and over while you chop the damned capsicum, your mind distantly wondering why you're doing it so finely.

the sound of the front door opening makes you blink, a small smile making its way to your face when jeonghan's voice travels to the kitchen. he enters the room a minute later, his soft footsteps mingling with the sound of your rhythmic chopping as he moves to stand behind you.

"fried rice for dinner?", the low murmur makes you shiver involuntarily.

"mm", you nod, "don't have energy for much more".

"that's okay", he nudges your shoulder with his cheek, "i would've have picked something up on the way if you told me, you didn't have to cook".

"that's okay", your mind starts drifting further away from conscious thought, jeonghan's soft voice never fails to make you feel safe, "i don't mind".

"mm", you feel his eyes scanning your face, "baby, how much did you sleep last night?"

"mm? like, two hours"

"okay", his voice softens up, "we'll go to bed early, okay?"

"okay", you nod.

"do you like your project partner?"

somewhere in the back of your mind, you register the sudden change in subject, but you can't find the energy to fight the haze your mind is in.

"she's okay", you answer sluggishly, "a bitch, but she's smart. hot too".

"okay", his voice softens up even more, "baby, what's your atm pin?"

"six - three - "

your answer is interrupted by a hand quickly covering your mouth, confusion coloring your face at jeonghan's resigned giggles.

"you were going to tell me your atm pin number", jeonghan explains, gently tugging the knife away from your hand and placing it on the board, "baby, you need sleep".

"why did you ask me that?", you whine, struggling against his attempts to lead you out of the kitchen, "you know what i'm like when i don't get much sleep. just let me finish - "

"no", jeonghan's voice is firm, "no knives for you. i'll finish it".

"but - babe", you sigh, "it's my turn to make dinner".

"and you've done a good job, it's almost done", he soothes, "i can finish it, you need to rest".

"but - "

"it's fried rice, i know how to make it", he leads you to the closest couch in the living room, "just sit here, it'll only be a few minutes".

"okay", you nod when you sit down, not having the energy to argue with your boyfriend, "but remember to add that sauce, that - "

"that stir-fry sauce? yeah, i know", he pats your head, turning back to head into the kitchen.

"babe, wait!", he turns around instantly at your call, releasing a questioning hum, "love you".

"it's just fried rice, you know", he smiles, leaning closer to peck your lips, "love you too".

you settle on the couch once he leaves, trying to stay awake by scrolling through cat memes on tumblr. after a few minutes, you lose the battle with your heavy eyelids and start to drift off, barely on the seam of consciousness.

the last thing you remember before falling asleep are soft touches from the hands that adjust the cushion below your head, and your lover's tender kiss on your cheek.

For the OC ask meme:

🧋🪞🔮🍒🕰️💌

for any combination of Remidee, Alexandria, or Sunset :3

WAHOOOOOOOOOO oh thank you so much. you know i love designing alternate outfits and coming up with random scenarios i'll never use again xoxoxo

some of yours other people asked for too, so i'll hold off on answering them!

🪞 (Mirror) - What would their Mirror World counterpart be like? If they are a Mirror World counterpart, what traits of theirs are reflected? Do the two of them get along?

for context, because i dont think people outside of artfight know much of remidee, they're an apothecary who deals minorly in fighting and magic as an aspiration. due to how injuries work in my mirrorverse, traditional medicine is in extremely low demand and basically not needed. mirror!remidee has leaned almost totally into being a fighter as a result. coincidentally enough, this also reflects regular remidee's worst insecurities for reasons that are a bit too wordy to explain right now

after the fall of shadow dedede's monarchy, they found themself in mirror floralia as a refugee. they're not as good as fighting as the rest of the army, but the queen isnt one to turn away someone so loyal and ready to dedicate themself to the kingdom. officially theyre in the army as a fighter of the same level of the sectra dees, but really theyve been designated as just the guy that brings the banner into battle

mir!remidee would scare the absolute hell out of regular remidee, for reasons they couldn't quite place, even though mir!remidee is actually quite nice. it's the existential dread, remidee....

🕰️ (Clock) - What would a Dreamy Gear version of them look like? What sort of accessories would they have? What kind of role do they play?

on the other end of the spectrum, dreamy gear remidee has leaned fully into being an apothecary, considering there's no need for fighting and magic is extremely rare. they keep a pretty nice shop in the town of wind (<novel lore, for you folks who don't know). they seem richer than the other residents or overly-well off at first glance, but medicinal ingredients are very difficult to get a hold of in this setting, and they're quite passionate about their work, so they have a lot of high quality supplies

dg sunset is a carrier pigeon, basically. child of single dad manager dedede, they help deliver mail. though they have a habit of getting into trouble more often than not on the job while jumping from rooftop to rooftop. remidee has a sense of disdain for dedede in this universe thanks to sunset's shenanigans

🍒 (Cherry) - Out of all of the Dream Friends [Kirby included], which ones would they get along with the most? The least?

Sunset: i don't hc the mirror counterparts to be related to or have familial relations with their regular counterparts, but dmk would definitely be the fun uncle to sunset. both magolor and taranza get a thumbs down from her, not because of their past crimes, but simply because she thinks they're "kinda weird and annoying"

Remidee: i swear to god this has absolutely nothing to do with my own affinity for zan but remidee admires zan a lot. combining elemental magic with weaponry is notoriously hard in my universe, requiring a lot of skill and control to do. remidee is practicing spearplay and electric/beam magic, so this lines up very well. marx scares remidee a lot.

Alexandria: alexandria doesnt get any friends for reasons relating to her Themes. but im sure shed be extremely fond of kirby himself. gooey too i think! she also keeps her distaste for people well hidden, or is quite open minded--it's difficult to tell, so nothing for the "gets along with the least" part of the question either.

🔮 (Crystal Ball) - Out of all the treasures in the Great Cave Offensive, Kirby is letting your OC pick one from his stash to keep! Which one do they pick, and why?

#asks #kachikirby #dgp askgame #implied metadede #heyyy first main blog sunset mention from me! tyty kachi for remembering them dfkjghskdjgh that means a ton #theyre a metadede kid yeah but they arent canon to my verse #and generally i dont care to post abt them under normal circumstances kdfhgs #long post #my art #remidee #lady alexandria #oc: sunset

[tomobikicentral]

Hai darlings! Welcome to Tomobiki central! This is a blog which archives anything and everything Urusei Yatsura, both old stuff and new!! This blog was made specifically so fans can avoid spam posts and make it easier to find the best Urusei Yatsura content on Tumblr.

What will be reblogged here?

Everything! as long as it's not low effort, that is.

What counts as low effort?

Posts like screenshots with no text added (unless it's a screenshot which is a meme within itself), or non oc fanart with no source added, official art with no description as to what it is, low quality textposts etc. Also, your post should clearly be recognizable as something from Urusei Yatsura, and not look like something from another anime (as it should have something like characters or some kind if sign that it is from UY). Posts with only links won't be reblogged as well, unless it's a link to a fanfic (but make sure to mention that!). Posts which send unnecessary hate about the series (or anything really) will not be reblogged either since it may create discourse, however meaningful criticism is allowed.

Why was my post not reblogged even though I followed the above criteria?

That would be possibly because I've either missed it or it didn't show up in the tags. You can message or send an ask to inform me.

What about NSFW posts?

NSFW will be reblogged only if it's with the series' own restrictions (that is, the most which can be shown would be nude breasts, though over-fetishism of that won't be reblogged either). Anything over these restrictions, censored or not will not be reblogged. If you don't want to see the NSFW posts, you can simply filter out the tag 'nsfw'.

Why should I follow this blog?

Of course, whether you follow or not is up to you! But following this blog is going to be very helpful to those who create UY content since it allows their posts to get noticed and appreciated more: the more followers this blog has, the more notes they will get. And not to mention, you'll get more UY to enjoy!

How do I find a specific type of content on this blog (for example, only remake related or only fanart)?

The tags will help with those! Posts will be divided in two different ways: a) according to what type of media they are from (manga, original {anime}, remake or even the video games!! However if there is no sign of which media it is from it will be tagged as 'unspecified'.) and b) based in what type of content it is (fanart, official, edit, gif, video, etc.). You can search with the help of these tags and find what you're looking for!

That's all I can think for FAQs, if there's anything else, I'll edit and add to this post.

This blog is still new so it will take time to fill it up with a lot of UY. Please reblog this post so more UY fans will be able to know about this blog. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me here or on my main (@yumedoca ). Have a cosmically great day ahead!! 🌟

Submitted propaganda under the cut

Wren - 1

fuckin okay i get Save The Planet is noble or whatever but do you understand i'm MAYBE tired of being told to change Everything abt how I live when everything i could ever do is a drop in the ocean compared to corporations and i dont want to micromanage my entire life for the sake of the planet and its ALWAYS the leftist youtubers shilling it as The Best Most Selfless Thing you can do. like. dude. i am tired. i dont get paid enough to have the energy to care.

RAID shadow legends - 22

I caved and downloaded the app, played three levels and holy shit it’s so boring

I don't think I need to explain myself here.

Every Youtuber has been sponsored by them at some point and they are infuriating

It’s everywhere and it’s a shitty game that feels like the kind of low quality shit you’d see in a mobile add, because that’s exactly what it is

I have not seen a single sponsorship that makes this game sound like anything but a waste of time. Plus, their sponsorships are always sooooo long lol. At least a full minute, sometimes two.

the sponsorships and ads are everywhere yet ive never actually seen anyone outside of the ads enjoying it or even talking about it

They say the exact same thing every time so much that it's become a memorized phrase used as a meme

the art is mid, but not only that, but none of the characteers were designed by someone truly unhinged and horny. giving out that many free summons just makes them look like a scam, like those scammy crap gacha games with promo codes that have one digit repeated (example: 1111, 777, 888, and so on). there's nothing you can do there that other games haven't done better, and there's no overlying premise that draws in fans of stories (talk all the crap you like about food fantasy, at least the lore was fucking WILD). raid shadow legends is like fruit gushers in that it's massively mediocre and wildly overhyped. sure, you *COULD* inflict it upon yourself without hurting too badly, but why would you want to?

You KNOW why

Infamous

gaming.

Annoying, constant, bs, dumb, pay to play, badgering, I hate them. My friend ended up spending over a hundred dollars on this game bc their advertising occasionally works, and when it does, that's not great!

You KNOW WHY.

They don't pay the fucking people they ask to talk about them half the time. Also the game is ugly.

scammy as hell wtf is that game

Do I even need to explain? It's not a helpful product, it's just a dumb mobile game no one needs in their lives.

It’s bad

Everyone’s heard of it. Nobody likes it.

This wasn't part of the ask meme but the topic came up so I'll ask.

Do you have any unpopular opinions on the audio drama space? Could be for one show or the genre as a whole.

For me personally I don't really care if something is "well-produced" or not, my ears just can't tell the difference lmao

Oh, interesting. Hmm...

I have a high standard for writing but a low standard for production quality and acting quality, but at the same time, when the latter two are good, I'm really excited to hear it. I can pretty directly tie this to my Undergrad Days: I was a creative writing minor and did a lot of theater running things. I know how to analyze fiction and can be really picky on poor or questionable writing decisions. I have the bad habit that I don't tend to give up on shows when they get worse if I loved the beginning, but I will also drop a lot of shows after the first few episodes if I don't like the writing. (I really wanted to like Valence, for instance, but I just was not a fan of the first episode at all.) It's solely because writing is what I do creatively that I am really picky about it.

My low standards for audio quality or performances is because i did dirstaff, though. I'm used to working with amateur audio designers and actors and watching them practice and get better. I like hearing things that are a bit rough but clearly have a lot of heart in it. I am still very aware of low quality audio and acting, though -- I just more hope the potential pulls through, if that makes sense.

my specific unpopular opinion (which I think I've posted before) is that I do not understand why people go feral over jmart in mag and I frankly think it's one of the weakest parts of the show. like it's fine but people who only listen to the show for that ship I do not understand at all.

#mary blabs #thanks for sending in this ask #made me really think about why i like what i like and where it came from #i actually do have experience doing audio work and acting myself just a lot less of it #i played a killer gwendolyn in the importance of being earnest tho ill judge anyone for that role

taaam act 2 watch party highlights

once again my friends and i sat down to watch act 2 together! here's some of my fave bits of our reactions.

ok so some explanation: me and my circle are all very not fond of the popular interpretation of mvk as an abusive dad, and given how he acted in his short scene in act 1 we were CERTAIN that was where things were headed, so we developed a system to not harsh the vibes of an otherwise delightful time by electing not to talk in depth about it if it happened and instead developing a sort of mantra we can shout whenever he is acting in a way we don't agree with character-wise. here is that mantra:

thankfully we didn't even end up needing to prepare this. he was great. we loved it.

here is the point where "anything to win" started

i bet you cant guess. who my fave fictional villain is

my discord stream would periodically go low quality and the only way to fix it would be to unstream and restream, during anything to win it happened and i took like 30 seconds longer because i was shaking so bad with autistic/comfort character energy i couldn't press the buttons right

'wrong' killed all of us

k this one takes some explaining so here is the explanation.

basically we have a server wide meme about a lyric in lotta things but with a single word replaced. i do not know why.

its gotta be the butz is my favourite song but specifically the harmonized verse between miles and manfred is like. comfort in song format to me i have a meme for it and everything.

i tried to sing along to 600k but i was shaking

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY 30 IMAGES ALLOWED PER POST ok check the reblogs im about to add more

i uh. i saw this. in my dream. apparently it was a meme i'd found on tumblr and sent to my sibling. this is like,, the best i can do. i hate everything about this and i genuinely went insane making this.

so it's uh. um. buffsuki, but instead of natsuki from ddlc it's satan from obey me. and he's shirtless. and i haven't seen the fucking buffsuki meme since literally 2018 i don't know why it was in my dream

and then,, levi and a little d but they're low quality and drawn in ms paint.

and i only remember how the text looked and that the big red title said "FUCK GOD" so i improvised the rest of it

also the background is a really odd shade of brown.

anyway. i hope this doesn't keep coming back to me. i will never be drawing satan again.

Hello! Love reading stuff you write.

What are your thoughts on axiz reunion? I'm assuming you're caught up.

Also wondering if you're into the idea of them doing a program against Golden Lovers. I believe there could be such delicious dynamics there.

aww, thank you!!

and yes, i have MANY thoughts on the Axiz reunion!!!!! a lot of my thoughts on the team don't seem to be super popular in the main eng fanbase for NOAH, so i've sort of been keeping them to myself... 😅

i did publish a very short fic, though, after their first match back together as a tag team. and i've been thinking about the bodyswap fic again 🥲

most of my wrestling thoughts so far this year are in my wrestling journal, which i guess has sort of replaced giffing for me because it's way less time-intensive, though i'd still like to publish some of this content as gifsets, especially the TJPW story stuff, which as far as i can tell is not getting written about (in English) anywhere else. the wrestling journal itself is unpublishable in its current state because i also use it to bookmark some of my favorite fan photos, and i wouldn't want to republish those. but i do love it when people read it and comment on some of the stuff in there! i'm constantly falling behind on it and getting caught up super last minute, but it has been a rewarding project overall.

as far as Axiz specifically goes, i also created a separate Axiz journal just for tracking stuff related to their 2023 run. so if that team is the main thing you're into and you don't care about 90% of the other wrestling stuff i'm on about, that has all of my current thoughts and observations on them! it also contains various supplemental material, like tweets and stuff from shupro, plus my very rough translations of the material. there's also a long ramble about the third Axiz photobook, Green, and about how it becomes a different book entirely depending on when you read it (pre-betrayal, post-betrayal, post-reunion).

the main reason why i made that document was because: 1) i've gotten spoiled by my own TJPW blog lol and i get frustrated by how hard it is to browse old post-match comments in other companies due to how poorly organized basically all wrestling companies are and how ephemeral this stuff is, and 2) i have some amount of actual Japanese proficiency now that i did not have when i first got into Axiz in 2020. so i've started to prefer experiencing the stories through the original Japanese, and i sometimes get frustrated by the official translations and want to keep track of the Japanese 😅.

i've also been having fun exploring the Japanese side of the fandom and sort of ignoring what's going on on the western side of things. i've been using it as an excuse to do some low-stakes Japanese reading practice without having the pressure to translate for hundreds of other people like i do with TJPW. so far, all of the Axiz comments have been super short (way shorter than i'm used to with TJPW), so it has been a doable side project for me. the translation quality is way lower than my TJPW translations, though, so just a warning about that. i didn't want to bother my translation tag team partner and ask them to check even more of my work, haha, so there might be mistakes in there, though it's certainly not the worst NOAH translations that you will find... 😅

as far as Axiz potentially doing a program against the Golden Lovers goes, anon, i want that so bad 😭. the only thing i want more would be them doing a program with the Magical Sugar Rabbits 🥲. Axiz vs Golden Lovers feels actually legit plausible, though, considering that Kota has expressed interest in working with NOAH, and considering the AEW/NOAH partnership.

also, i do have one bonus meme that is not in the Axiz journal lol. you might need to read the journal for context, though, depending on how closely you've been following this stuff (i'm tuned out of the fandom at large and don't know what has and hasn't been getting talked about).

here it is:

7, 17, 18, and 33 for the ask meme pretty please? 🍊 🍊 🍊

7. What’s the fic you most want to continue (unfinished or no)?

Definitely, without a doubt, Smoke, my Equalist Asami Irosami fic. It's a massive undertaking that I poured a lot into, and we're so close to the end. I've just got to be in the right headspace to do it, and to have the time and attention to do it properly. Which I haven't had for like six months. But I'm getting excited about it again and hope to get back here soon. Honorable mention to Firestorm, the third fic in my Irosamiverse canon divergence series that I half started and then actually pulled down to re-work. I still think it's got a cool premise, but need to invest in some plotting and make a few hard choices and kill some darlings to keep the narrative tight, which is what was wrong with the first version. George R. R. Martin I am not, and my original vision of writing from a lot of different characters' perspectives and locations wasn't working. But I'll get there.

17. In your opinion, what’s your most overrated fic?

Strictly speaking, probably The Mango Tree. Not because I don't adore this fic. I do. It's sweet and sad and lovely and everyone should read it. But it's also Maiko, and therefore has more kudos and bookmarks than all but my major Irosami multichapter projects that are closer to novels, like AWOL and Smoke. I wrote The Mango Tree in a day or two. Smoke is going on two years. It's a great illustration of the challenges rarepair authors face. If you liked The Mango Tree, maybe you should give some other works a try? You might be surprised.

18. What’s your most underrated fic?

All of them. I guess I was surprised at the reception of Yaoja's Number One Fan. Or maybe just disappointed. There's pretty much universal recognition that for a main character Asami Sato is very underdeveloped in canon. To some that makes her boring, but to me that means she has so much potential! And people clearly want to read about her as she appears in just under half the fics in the Legend of Korra tag. But almost all those fics are Korrasami (like really, nearly all of them), and fics about Asami outside that pairing are rare and low traffic. I'd have hoped there were enough Asami fans in Korrasamiworld who'd be interested in a short, sweet fic about her as a kid that for once didn't center around her mother's death or any ship, but I was wrong. No one seems to love or care for Asami by herself. Low kudos might be the author, but this fic has less than 50 hits. No one is interested. Goes to hug Asami in a corner by myself making self-indulgent pity noises.

33. Is there any particular character whose scenes always wind up being longer/more frequent than you expected? Does the quality hold up?

Okay, there are two ways to answer this: 1. OMFG Iroh. This guy is so much in his head, I'll realize I've written two pages and he hasn't moved. He's still standing there doing dishes, thinking. Any one-shot from Iroh's perspective immediately becomes a multichapter slog. In fact, I went back and looked and in all my 85 works I've only written three one-shots from Iroh's perspective. Because he can't fucking do it. But I love him dearly and I guess he's just going on longer adventures.

2. Asami self-insert. You know that gif with the model walking out from the door all sassy like "heyyyyyy" yeah, that's Asami. I write fics she's not in and she shows up anyway (seriously - she wasn't supposed to be in either The Cabin or Uncle Iroh's Firebending Academy and she just decided she was needed and in she goes). Then she also doesn't listen to directions. I'm writing a fic right now (Tis the Sea Sun for Love) and she's twice wound up adding scenes because she wanted to do something else, like go get a pedicure or shop for a dress for her date. I just... I've given up. Asami is in charge and I'm just here to record it.

Anyway since these are the characters I write the most often now you understand why my fics are so damn long.

Ask me writing stuff

Munday Meme [ACCEPTING]

🍊 - What are your favourite genres of threads? Fluff? Angst? Etc.

Coming in first place, surprising ABSOLUTELY NO ONE: Angst! Some of the most interesting dynamics involve discomfort, sadness, or even flat out hostility. But also, I like making my mutuals cry. Usually because that's what I'M doing, so they have to suffer by proxy.

In second place... I guess: 'dark' threads? I used to play a lot of villains back in the day, so I'm no stranger to both BEING horrible in-character and being treated horribly in-character. Plus, similar to angsty content, it's usually just more interesting since it involves conflict in some form.

Third isn't even really a genre, persay, but: Threads that originally came from a Meme answer I wrote. Sometimes spontaneous interaction can lead to some great ideas that we wouldn't have considered under normal circumstances.

🍍 - How many drafts are you stalling with this meme?

I usually keep drabbles, memes, and fanart I haven't reblogged yet in my drafts so it's hard to tell what's actually something I SHOULD be working on (which is why I usually use threadtracker).

Off the top of my head, I know I owe @houkusu a starter in Jin's Reform!verse and I haven't really been putting that off so much as I fucking hate how my starter reads right now. It just feels... I don't know, not what I was envisioning? The language and whatnot got a little garbled from picking at the draft during different times and I'm not sure if I like it anymore, so! Might just start fresh, if I really feel it's low quality.

What I've REALLY been putting off is reaching out to new mutuals, but that's honestly because I have been struggling emotionally for the past week and I get scared I might ruin someone else's day by oversharing or being in a far less enthused mood than I normally am.

I'm big into reciprocity where plotting is concerned, so I'd rather come at someone with ideas at the ready than just being like "HEY, WANNA PLOT? :)" and then being like "well, shit, idfk" and make my partner feel like a) I supposedly don't care about their portrayal and b) that they now have to do ALL the work.

[midnightscxre]

Rules

MUN is 27 years old (she/her), so this blog will not interact with people younger than 21. 21+ ONLY, minors do not interact.

 This blog is selective and mutuals only.

I am friendly, always open to gush over our characters however due to the past experience I want to state that any form of inappropriate behavior such as: being flirty toward the MUN, getting too personal with asking the information about my private life and comparing me with any of my muses will result in INSTAT BLOCK. This is fiction, muse does not equal mun, and I have no intention to make anything but role play partners and friends here. I am a taken woman and will not tolerate anything that makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Starters are open to mutuals only if not stated otherwise.

DO NOT use me as a ' resource blog ' for new followers, meaning: if we became mutuals and didn't establish no interaction, don't scroll through my blog adding everyone you see on sight. I welcome my followers becoming mutuals, however, if you plan to make me a 'springboard' for new followers, I will block you on sight.

Using me for my male characters will not slide. It will lead to me losing interest and  dropping the tread. It happened a few times and I am just tired of it. This includes 'half-assing' the threads while giving the best for the females, focusing just on the ship where I play the male and obviously neglecting the ship where you play the male. I have twice as many male characters than female, but I love my girls just as much. Fair play is something I highly appreciate.

I will not interact with blogs that have all female characters nor single female muse blogs.

PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Please, MOVE THE STORY FORWARD. This is the main problem and the most common thing that makes me to drop the thread. Please, don’t only answer on the things already written on my part, add some story development, events, develop the plot along side with me. We all like that element of surprise, and I honestly, adore it. So lets build the story equally!

I am a detailed role player:  lit. / advanced lit. / novella style . (The choice between short replies and novella depends on my role play partner’s style and my time)

This blog is LGBTQIA+ friendly. Just because I prefer MxF shipping for my muses, does not mean I will not interact with people who have different tastes. This place is respectful and welcoming all, so no form of hate will be tolerated.

Font: small + GIFs (medium)

My  OCs are not tied to a specific universe, so they are open for cross-overs,  various settings and interaction with OC and CANON characters.

I try to respond on daily bases but as we all , I have obligations so please be patient. Some days some muses are high and others low, and I do write based on my inspiration. Please know that if I responded to someone and not you, that does not mean I am ignoring you, it just means I am either busy or the muse is low. I despise writing bad responses, so know I am just trying to give you a quality response, so that is why it might be longer sometimes.

If you want to finish the role play, please do let me know. No hard feelings, I respect when someone is direct.

I  am flexible, always open to ideas, after all, I see role playing as something both parties should enjoy, so do not hesitate to DM me and we  can figure something out :)

I role play through threads / reblogs and Discord.

Playlists, memes, mood boards, or casual ‘thirsting’ over our characters? YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU! I love OOC talks about our muses and generally commenting on them and  their situations, so never hesitate to jump right into my DM and let the  fun begin!

Triggers: I only have one trigger - animal abuse. Any type of mistreating animals is NOT acceptable here.

Will NOT tolerate : Ince*t. R*pe, Underage, scat..and similar things!

When it comes to SMUT, writing some heated moments leading to the ‘main course’ is fine, but I would prefer to ‘fade to black’ once the ‘fireworks’ starts. There might be some exceptions, depending on the thread.

Warning: This blog will contain heavy topics such as mental abuse, manipulation, trauma, gore…etc. Please proceed with caution.

[marshmallowprotection]

Hi hi! I'd like a match up for bday pretty please of which Saeran I would suit (pun intended lolol) best! To start, I'm pretty short; 5'1. I have relatively long and curly brown hair and hazel eyes. I find it funny that I look a bit like miss Lila haha. I like gaming, writing, cooking/baking, listening to tired music like Owl City and Hozier and the like, and watching TV. I'm very bubbly and friendly. Making people smile and laugh makes me happy! I'm cheerful and a fun kind of chaotic (1)

However, I'm a bit different when it's just me or someone I'm really close with. In actuality, I'm very low energy ^^; I'm an introvert and can get overwhelmed in loud/crowded places due to past trauma. I'd much prefer a night with a tub of icecream and a sit com over a night on the town. It's more peaceful. With someone I'm close with, I like to share our interests with eachother, but I'm also happy with just spending time in the same room. We don't have to talk. I might send memes tho (2)

My love language is quality time but I am partial to much needed long hugs. I've been told I'm TOO kind, to the point where I forget myself sometimes ^^; I'm also apparently very wise? Idk about that, but ik that I've survived my fair share and that I've learned a lot of things from my experiences, so I'm good with advice or just being a source of comfort. I'm also very creative and funny. My sense of humor runs the gamut from dad jokes to dark humor. Animals and kids tend to really like me (3)

fsr? Like what am I, a Disney princess lolol? I'm good with them tho and I like their company so i never mind it. I have my days where I just need a hug and some time spent quietly, but I'm good most of the time. Overall, I'm happy, but tired. I am healing :) gaaah this ended up being super long. I've never done one of these so I didn't know how much to include. I'm sorry miss Kait T~T but I really appreciate it :D - balloon anon 🎈(4)

I match you with... 

SE Saeran!

Interesting. It seems as though you're the kind of person that likes to enjoy your time with the right people, but it's really hard to find somebody that understands you in the way that you need. You don't have a lot of energy that you like to expend because you'd rather enjoy a night inside than go out on the town. As much as you love looking at the world, sometimes, you need to be in your own space so that you can feel comfortable and safe. Your love language is definitely quality time. As long as you're with somebody that you can trust, you know that you're going to feel good. For these reasons, the one person that suits you the most is SE Saeran.

He's been through a lot in his life and sometimes it can lead to a little bit of mishap when it comes to making relationships with other people. The ideal for him is having somebody who doesn't pressure him or make him feel like he has to put in a lot more than he's able to handle. When he has somebody in his life that emphasizes and understands the kind of pain that he's been through, it's easier for him to explain himself. Because sometimes it's hard to explain what you're feeling to somebody who's never gone through some kind of suffering. He knows that he can lay back with you on the couch and he’d never have to think twice about it. 

He's healing, too. That's why it's nice to have somebody in his life who gets it. He doesn't mind that you need a lot of physical attention. You're not overbearing and you do make sure that he's okay with it before you ever try to ask for a hug. For the most part, he lets you get away with having whatever kind of physical attention that you need. Nobody else in the world gets to have that, only you get to have that. It says a lot about how much he cares about you.

Flufftober Day 5: x (one pair) + 1 (or maybe one crossover + 1...?) Whatever works best.

Hi, so this is a crossover sort of thing that I did with Deltarune and my series, the Sorcerer of Rune Series. And also reliving a meme that I am definitely not trying to bring back. 😂 I don't know if I did the voices of Kris and Susie's correctly, but I did try, for the sake of trying and partially wanting to see how it would turn out if some of my characters met with Kris and Susie.

So I hope you guys enjoy this mini thousand word story that I did of how it could turn out if Kris and Susie came into the series that I created. The flufftober event is created by @flufftober. Kris and Susie belongs to Deltarune created by Toby fox.

--

God… there’s sand on the floor and… Man, what had happened last time? I was with Kris, watching Attack of the dinosaurs, when I had just fell to sleep… Then I scramble up. What the hell? Sand. cactuses… Desert. Then I shoot my head around. Kris. They must be around. And they’re… 

They’re lying on the floor. “Kris!” I say, and they bring their face from the floor and their red eyes are looking at me.

“Susie?” 

“Kris, where the fuck are we!?” I say, and even they’re looking around the sand. God they mustn’t know… But then they’re looking left and… A cafe. Then they’re looking at me.

“Maybe we go inside?” They say. And I nod. 

“Yeah, let’s go Kris.”

And we both move towards the sandy building, but yet, it has chairs and tables, which has almost a stone-like quality. I shake my head and open up the doors. And it had cushioning chairs with tables and everyone at least gave a glance as we had walked in. But then, they had all continued, except an orange bear who’s sitting at the end of one of the tables with a pink fox with green hair. “Hey Kris… Why are they both staring at us like that?” I ask and they give a shrug. 

“They may be curious.”

“Mmm, maybe.” I twist around. Well, at least Catti’s not around to try and scare the hell out of me. But I twist towards the cashier.”Hey, can I have some coke?” And she gives a quizzical glance.

“I am sorry, but we don’t have that.” I glance towards Kris. What the… What is this place that doesn’t even have coke? 

“Hey, you two!” And I twist towards the voice… It’s the fox. “Yeah, you. You guys can sit with us.” And the fox is gesturing their hand out… Or are they a she…? Or even a guy who just likes long hair?

“If you want a seat, I suggest you take it.” the bear's harder voice says, “Jules is being kind enough to offer you a spot in this busy cafeteria.” I glance towards Kris, and their face is staring towards the bear before agreeing with the notion. We both start to walk closer towards the table and let Kris through to sit in the side next to Jules before I sit across the bear. But then a little gray mouse is coming. “What do you want?” I jerk back.

“But wouldn’t it–”

“It’s on the house.” He says, “Take it or leave it.” 

“Braedon…!” Jules bumps the side of his arm, and he’s staring for what feels painstakingly for minutes.

“Do you have hot chocolate?” And why did Jules’s face look as if it’s striking in horror? 

“I’d like you to get warm milk, soda water and two slices of apple pie.” the bear says, turning towards the mouse but then… Woah, is that leather? Like actual leather that he’s bringing out? But he brings out multiple gold coins to the mouse. “Keep the change.” he mutters before they nod and they scatter away. What in the… This has to be some nightmare they ended up in, literally.

“Who are you, where the hell are we, and most of all… Why are you of all people deciding to help us?” I say, And Jules’ brows perks up. and Kris just lets out a low laugh.

“Which, we appreciate the help.” the fox say. 

“I’m Jules, and this next to me is Braedon.” A smile spreads on their face as the bear across me crosses his arms, and his face not giving a hint of a smile, he’s just watching us. “And we’re just hanging out.” But Braedon's smile stretches that bit further.

“Sure, Talamor.” He says, glimpsing at Jules with a smile twitching his lips. And he glances at me. “They just love to help people. That’s the second person they’ve helped this morning.” Huh, so they use they/them like Kris… 

“Hey! That’s my job!” Jules’ fur starts to prickle up and he starts to laugh. 

“I know.” Braedon says. I glance at Kris, but we glance towards each other as the two are laughing as if we aren't even there...? I glance towards Kris, and they're staring at me, as they give a brief nod.

“But… You never answered where we–” Kris say.

“Alalingamor Palace district.” Ala… lin…a… what?  But the bang on the table flings my attention back to him. “Now that brings to the question on who you are, and why you had to yell outside?” So this Braedon guy did have some secret agenda with it. 

“Susie.” And I twist towards Kris. Their red eyes glances at me… Almost as if they’re pleading with me to not make any wrong moves. I take a deep breath in and stare at Braedon. 

“You see, we are lost. I have no idea how we got here. No idea what this place is… I’m not even sure if you guys are monsters or not.” The bear's eyes tenses, but no, I am not stopping. “What I want to figure out is where the hell our friend is, so we can close the fountain, and that’s it.” A chilled silence spreads between us as multiple mice gives us apple pie and our drinks, but he goes and brings his hand out towards Kris’ drink. I really wanted to say not to, but they give it to him, and from his pocket, he brings out some brown powder, and sprinkles it on top, and with the spoon that’s on his plate, he stirs it. 

“The spoon’s not used.” He says before he sprinkles it a few times and then hands it to them. “Here. It may not be as sweet, but hopefully you like it.” And he gives just the faintest smile… And surprisingly, Kris smiles back. 

“Brae Brae,” Jules says, “I’m surprised you’re carrying cocoa powder around.” And Braedon glances towards them, as they both wear a smile on their face.

“Well, since the majority of your kind seems to be allergic to cocoa powder, I have to accommodate myself somehow.” He laughs.

“Allergic?” I say. And Jules gives a nod.

“Yeah, we’re not really monsters.” they say, taking a sip of their drink. It smells very… Floral. “I mean, we’re all practically animals here, and that’s that.” They glimpse between all of us, until they let out an awkward laugh. “But… I don’t metabolize well with chocolate, or coffee. But somehow, the bastard can have both.” They threw their arm up as they point their thumb towards Braedon. And his arm goes and hits on the side of their arm and their face lights up. 

“You’re missing out on so much Jules. Even if you’re allergic to it.”

“But you know I can’t have it.” Their face is inching closer to he laughs.

"Hey, you should actually try it!" I say, "It's actually not that bad!"

"No," Jules says, with a smile curving their face. "With the reactions I get, it's best to not mess around with the stuff." But then they give a laugh. "But I'm sure you'd love to try the tea, Susie?"

Floral tea...!? "No! I will not try that floral tea!" I say, and they give a chuckle.

"I'm sure you'll like it~!"

"No!" And laughs echoes around me as I can feel a hand tapping my back, I jerk around and... It's Kris.

"It's ok, Susie." And I give a chuckle.

"Sure nerd, sure."
