☹ the alt kids
sfw | tags : poly!nb!yans x gn reader (only prn used for reader is ‘you’), obsessive thoughts, slight manipulation, mentions of drinking
listen,,, i know melchior / nb demon yan beat these three in the poll but im itching to write about them. this goes out to my friend who wants to get piped by faust + lolita anon. love yall mmmmwah
also for reference, faust is they/he, delta is they/them, and anton is he/she/they !
please rb to support me 🫶
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the alt kids were notorious for seeking out club newbies to play with. it was just something they did.
there was just something so adorable about the way someone totally out of their element dipping their toes into their scene! and the three had made it clear that fresh meat was off limits to anyone but them.
it was a simple cycle — someone new would enter the club, they'd swoop in and show them a good time, take them home at the end of the night if they're lucky, and repeat.
they thought it'd be no different when you came along, but...
oh, how wrong they were.
see, faust could practically feel the inexperience dripping off of you the moment you entered the nightclub.
all on your own, your eyes wide as you took in the flashing lights and loud music, the way you cautiously stepped around the sea of dancing bodies in attempt to find some place you could fit in comfortably? definitely another cute little freshie that'd soon join their ranks.
but faust didn't account for the zip of heat that ran through his body when you and him locked eyes from across the club. he didn't expect the unfamiliar feeling of his heart racing, a feeling only comparable to how he felt when he saw his partners — but why was it so much stronger? and when you offered up a shy little smile and averted your gaze, it damn near knocked him back.
who were you?
they had no clue, but they knew one thing. they needed to leave this club with you at the end of the night.
so faust all but ran to your side, appearing by you before you had even noticed their approach. god, you were even cuter up close... the way you looked up at them made their heart want to leap from their chest!
but they kept their cool. faust introduced themself, commenting on how they noticed you from across the bar and how they couldn't just let a sightly little thing like you venture around all on your own. the club could be so intimidating for newcomers — dangerous, even! but you didn't have a thing to worry about with them by your side.
they loved how demure you were, how you held your heating face when he complimented you, how you tried to wave off their advances but seemed to enjoy it just a bit too much to wave them off. were you intimidated by them? or… did you like them back? they wish they knew!
so you joined them, and accompanied them to the bar.
it was there you met one of their partners — a startlingly tall, reserved goth. you saw him well before you even got to the bar! between the major size difference, her icy gaze, and seemingly disinterested demeanor, it was safe to say you were intimidated. so you were incredibly surprised when faust strutted right up to them, pressed a kiss to his cheek, and waved you over to meet her. and it surprised you even further when they took one of your hands in theirs, pressed a kiss to your knuckles, and introduced themself after studying you silently.
unbeknownst to you and faust, anton was feeling that same intense fire in his chest that faust got when they first looked at you. he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander over your attire as you gave your name in turn.
you were so small compared to him. as was most other people, but… it was strangely endearing when he looked down at you. it’d be so easy to just scoop you up, wouldn’t it? and you wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it. he kept those thoughts to himself, but they flickered across his mind every time you came enough for him to take in the difference in your sizes.
the pair bought you drinks, got you a nice seat and showered you in attention. chatting you up, complimenting you, practically treating you like you were part of their polycule already. though they never mentioned it, faust and anton knew they had the same feelings towards you. the intense desire to just… have you. and not just for the night, either. you were so much more than all of their previous flings.
then delta came along. petite, sly delta who liked to play coy when it came to those they were interested in. they had pretended to be too busy dancing the entire time before joining their partners and you at the bar, but they were watching. and after witnessing how their boyfriends were all over you for so long, they had to join in. what were you doing to them?
they walked up to the three of you, pointedly looked you up and down, and… they understood in an instant. man, you were a looker! and even sweeter than the usual folk the three would usually play around with. they easily invited themself to the conversation, taking a seat right on faust’s lap and stuck up a chat with you as if they had been there the entire time.
they loved how flustered you were, so overwhelmed by all the attention the three were now pouring onto you. and despite your overstimulation, you were trying so hard to talk to them all anyway. you clearly had no clue what to do, poor thing… they had no choice but to take the lead for you!
“wanna dance? ..no? that’s fine~ let’s get another drink!”
“it’s so loud in here. let’s go somewhere quieter, yeah? i wanna hear that pretty voice more clearly.”
“aww, you wanna leave? you can sober up at our place! it’d be dumb if you got a ticket you could’a avoided.”
“you’ll stay the night with us, won’t you, darling? we’d hate for you to leave us so soon.”

tav game (hehe)
i saw there was a tav info tag game thing and came as fast as i could. yoinking the open tag from my friend @kk7-rbs, which you can read over here: [x] (i also wanna shout out the other one of these i've seen, by @findingtarshish! you can see theirs here: [x])
for this one, i'll be doing my boy eden, sharing screencaps from both of my save files with him, but mainly the dark urge one b/c that one i've taken more screencaps in. he's a model to me.
gonna leave this as an open tag for anyone who'd like to do one! for bg3 or not. but i *am* gonna poke @skitzo-kero @void-botanist and @anexor specifically if y'all want <3 (no pressure to any of y'all ofc)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(his dream visitor in this screenshots is taking the form of his estranged father, abdiel, who left him deeply traumatized and riddled with self worth issues)
Name: Dr. Eden Linnaeus (eventually Dr. Eden Ravengard-Dekarios)
Nickname(s): Captain, Ed, Doc, The Sunbringer, Ivaebhin (only Kader, his childhood best friend, can get away with calling him that last one)
Pronouns: He/Him
Star Sign: Leo Sun, Virgo Moon (not sure what else he's got going though lol)
Height: 5'3" / 160 cm
Orientation: Gay
Class: Warlock (Archfey)
Race: Mephistopheles Tiefling
Romancing: In my main save with Eden, Wyll! And in the Dark Urge save, Gale. And in my heart... both. It's a polycule. And the polycule is a biiit more complicated than that even, with other characters involved, but point is. There's a lot of love going around here, of various flavors.
I imagine at least those three are married, though, and Eden takes both Wyll and Gale's surnames, distancing himself from his own family's legacy and forging a new one with these people he cares for so deeply.
(the rest under the cut)
Favorite Fruit: Raspberries! He likes to snack on them while he works.
Favorite Season: Spring! He likes seeing life return to the world after a long winter.
Favorite Flower: He'll say he's not one for flowers, but Eden has a fondness for Mountain Laurels.
Favorite Scent: In many ways, Eden is rather indifferent to smells and doesn't put much thought into picking a favorite. However, he has a fondness for woodsy scents, and a deep-seated aversion to smokey scents.
Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?: Coffee, all the way, but he has a fondness for a specific flavor of Waterdhavian tea Gale brews for them both sometimes. He's not exactly a connoisseur of tea, though, haha.
Average Sleep Hours: Far too few, haha. Eden tends to work himself to exhaustion rather frequently, and then keep going. Wyll and Gale have become experts at redirecting their husband's attention and convincing him to take a break and rest.
Dogs or Cats: Both! But I think Eden is overall more of a dog person, having grown up around them. Still, he adores Tara.
Dream Trip: When he was younger, Eden wanted to see Rosymorn Monastery, as his mother told him many stories of her studies there on her journey to becoming a cleric. However, as he got older, he became far more agnostic in his beliefs and the idea became much less appealing. He gave up on praying to Lathander after his mom's death, and now he feels mainly just... a vague sense of discomfort and grief when he thinks about the god he was raised with. This only got worse after seeing the monastery during his travels with the group.
So, now Eden wants to see Candlekeep. He desperately wants access to that expansive library and to learn all that he can. At heart, Eden hungers for knowledge above all else.
Amount of Blankets: So many. Eden is always on the chilly side, and that coupled with his chronic joint and muscle pain means he can only really sleep bundled up in a blanket nest. Wyll and Gale have had to make peace with their husband being a blanket hoarder.
Random Facts:
Yes, Eden has a fantasy phd. He basically got a degree in being a wizard... despite not having much ability to use magic himself. His magic is almost entirely from his warlock pact, as besides that he just can't use magic in the way a lot of other mages can.
He also has pretty serious chronic joint pain, made worse when he strains himself using his magic. It's a condition he inherited from his mother, and it's one he's learned to live with and how to accommodate for.
Eden's storyline is a mix of the normal tav story and the Dark Urge storyline. How so? Well. Before the adventure, Eden died, and he's only recently been resurrected at the start... minus many of his memories about who he is and what happened to him. So, on top of all the other shit going on, Eden has to figure out why his brain is full of holes.
Eden's father Abdiel is a very well-known and respected wizard, one that Gale actually was a fan of when he was younger. However, after seeing how horribly Abdiel treats Eden, Gale has left that adoration behind. Never meet your heroes, and all that.
(On a similar note, Wyll originally encouraged Eden to consider forgiving his father and reconnecting with him, which was the cause of a lot of conflict between them in the early days of their relationship. Eventually, though, Wyll came to understand *why* Eden doesn't want to forgive the man who traumatized him and abandoned him, and he respects and supports Eden's decision.)
(Gale and Wyll might or might not have an agreement to make sure Eden never has to even be in the same room as his father ever again. They'll keep him safe.)

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!
Thanks for the tag @fiercynn !! This is a really lovely idea :)
note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition!
name and whatever you want to share about yourself hi i'm mars, i use she/her pronouns, i live in australia and i've been into thai/asian bl for a little over a year now. i mostly just lurk and mass rb on tumblr lol, but i'd definitely like to get to know more people !!
when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom? I was actually trying to track down the exact date recently (i failed), but i watched it for the first time around mid-september 2022, ended up binging it in a day and been a part of the fandom since
favorite ship(s) patpran <3
favorite character(s) pat !! he's one of my favourite characters from any media ever. I just love how selfless he is and how he transforms through the show, and how bright he is but knows when to stand his ground. i could wax poetics about him fr <3
favorite episode(s) Whenever i watch/rewatch bad buddy i tend to binge it so i can never distinguish betweens episodes lol. In general, ep 12 is definitely one of my favs because i feel like it ties things up nicely and i like seeing them happy :) i can probably give a better answer for favourite scene...
favorite scene(s) ...which is why it's great that this is the next question!
In no particular order: the staircase proposal scene, the bus stop roleplaying scene, the post-curtain bench hand holding scene (specifically that one face pat/ohm makes which imo is the single most most heartbreaking frame in the entire show), the ep 12 post-credits scene (wait was it actually post-credits, i don't remember ajksdjf), the screaming on the rocks at the zero-waste village scene, and the rooftop kiss (ofc)
Basically i just like to see them happy (most of the time) :)
one thing you would change about the show if you could the whole making-it-up-to-wai arc was not it for me. WHY was pran the one apologising and going after him??? still makes me mad to this day, but i think i'd have a lot more animosity towards wai if ep 12 didn't exist (also all the wai redemption arcs in fanfics have made me warm up to him :P)
what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people? ahhh so many!! joy of stanning a show that's finished is that it stays going through fanworks, but also now there's too many that i absolutely adore to remember in the moment, sp here's some:
we both know you're my only dream (fic) by @fiercynn: one of my favourite fics ever that i constantly go back and reread whenever i'm having a bad day (or not)
yield strength (fic) by @dulosis: the physics analogies do something to my brain /pos
10 things i hate about you (fic) by @nobodynobodyno: this one's so cute and i reread it all the time
this fmv to tujh mein rab dikhta hai by @transpat: desi moots, iykyk. but fr this holds such a special place in my heart, the lyrics are so patpran and the editing and clip choice is just *chef's kiss*
this fmv to dandelions: IT'S SO GOOD. all the parallels, the dialogue overlaying is just perfect, and the TRANSITIONS (the one at 1:28 especially)
every single one of @hereforlou's art: i'm literally obsessed, i don't always see everything on my dash so i'll literally check their tumblr every couple days. is this stalker behaviour? possibly, but if you've seen their art i think you'd understand.
Also special mention to this one gifset of the staircase proposal scene which was my first ever exposure to bad buddy, it made me watch the show to begin with, but i didn't rb it when i first saw it so now it's lost to the times 😭😭
I have an insane amount of fanfic i wanted to put here but for the sake of length of this post, i restrained myself ajskdjf
(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made? i do not (yet 👀)
a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol) pretty much every fmv/edit that i've rewatched a couple times set to a song will make me thing of bbs lol, so some are tujh mein rab dikhta hai and dandelions from above, emily by Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler because of this amazing fic, and gorgeous by Taylor Swift because of this gorgeous edit (y'all please go watch it it's amazing).
idk anything else you want us to know? It's the perfect timing for this because these are my nails right now ):)
Tumblr media
honestly not super sure who of my mutuals are bbs moots so i'm just gonna tag some people, feel free to ignore this if you've already been tagged/don't want to do it! :)
@nobodynobodyno @dropthedemiurge @justafriend-ql @cornflowershade @hometothecanyonmoon @7nessasaryevils
If you see this and you want to do it, this is is me tagging you as well !!

alright. so, i know ive already made a post about this on my main, but im stupid and went to the original tweet and just made myself angry again.
TW// T-CEST UNDER THE CUT
alright, so a couple days ago i rbed a screenshot of a certain story board artist's tweet about being the one to put tcest in the show.
i dont know why or how, but i found my way onto twitter and to the original tweet that this guy made.
Tumblr media
for context, sheldon here was a storyboard artist for Rise and the scene they are talking about here is this one from the Lair Games episode-
Tumblr media
i partially explain again why this is horrible and disgusting and partially why i dont believe or accept sheldon's... i dont even know what to call it. his response (the top post in the first screenshot)
part one
since i literally just rbed something about this, im just going to copy/paste my rb and add onto it a little.
" no but when i found out that some of the artists who originally worked on Rise were t-cesters and proshippers i was actually so fucking pissed off.
there are part of this community that are actually god damn disgusting, and im not afriad to say that tcest is fucking rancid and if you support it i dont want you near the content that i create.
first of all, it is literally incest. it says so right in the name. which, i really hope i dont have to explain why incest is bas in the ripe year of 2022. I don't care that they arent "blood-related". They were fucking raised as brothers, treated like brothers, and think of each other as brothers. No matter how hard you try to spin it, no matter how hard you argue that they arent technically related, you have to understand that they see and think of each other as brothers, which should be enough to make this incest.
this show was amazing when it came to family dynamics and brotherly love/trust/bonds. i can say with confidence that the brothers in Rise are much more brotherly/closer than any other previous versions. it's obvious to see that they love and care and want to protect one another. to turn platonic and love for one's family into something so gross and vile is taking all of the healthy emotional bonds between these characters and throwing it out the window.
i cant fuckung believe i have to say this every time i come back into the tmnt fandom, but-
THEY ARE MINORS.
sure, with the recent Rise movie we saw an adult leo, but heres the thing- that version of leo is fucking dead. he literally got fucking beamed out of existence.
the fact that every one of these brothers are under the age of 18 and i still see so much nsfw art is absolutely horrid.
finally, it's a kid's show. sure, many of us in the community are teens, later teens, and grown adults, but that does not change that this show was originally created to bring the tmnt franchise into yet another generation of kids. again, i sincerely hope that i dont need to explain why implying incest in kids shows (or really any TVs shows, for that matter) is morally wrong and vile.
literally yesterday me and some of my mutuals had to go through a lot of our content to re-tag a whole bunch of our posts tagged with "tcest dni" because tumblr's tagging system is actual shit. there shouldnt even be a tcest community, outside of it impeding on the rest of us Rise fans.
sorry this is such a long post but im so tired of seeing / hearing about tcest. its gross, disgusting, icky, etc etc. it is 6:30 am and i woke up and saw this and decided to fucking say something, because tcest has actively made my experience coming back into the tmnt community and fandom worse. "
and i still stand by that. seeing so much tcest- and from the artists on the rise crew, no less- is making my journy back into the tmnt fandom so, so much worse. it is actively hurting a lot of people- which brings me to one specific tweet from this thread.
Tumblr media
so, to start- i do not, i repeat- DO NOT condone or promote sending death threats to people or telling them to kill themselves.
second- it isnt. harmless. reminder, again, that this is a
CHILDREN'S. SHOW.
you are talking about MINORS IN INCESTUAL RELATIONSHIPS. "harmless fiction" my ass.
part two
ok. so as you can see in the original screenshot, you can see that sheldon is passing this off as a joke. but i honestly cannot believe him when he says this.
why, i hear you asking. well,
Tumblr media
look at the time stamp. 2020, nearly three years ago now, when the Lair Games episode had just come out.
why didn't he say it was a joke three years ago, when he first posted the storyboard clip? because he isnt fucking joking. either that or he is just really so fucking dense that he doesn't realize that what he's doing is not funny in any way, shape or form.
which brings me to my next point.
even if it is all just a joke,
why the fuck are you joking about minors participating in fucking incest?
its fucking nasty even if it is a joke. i genuinely shouldnt need to say anymore on why this is fucking horrid.
well. ive taken up enough of your time- i appreciate you reading to the end and i apologize for making this so long. a quick, final word in case you got this far and are a tcester or support tcest-
kindly fuck off, do not interact with me, unfollow me, and block me :] i dont want your nasty ass incest anywhere fucking near me or this blog.
thanks ! :D

Are Endeavor stans allowed to follow you?
(I'm aware that Enji abused his family and that he is a coward, he's my favorite because I like his arc and I love your metas)
(Also for personal reasons and abusive parent promising to be better and actuslly getting better is carthartic to me)
(If you don't want to then that's fine)
Okay, first off, I don't police who follows me. I can't there's almost 3600 of you at this point, like I only look up people once they start directly interacting with me with replies on my posts or if they leave interesting tags in reblogs. It's not something I want to put my effort in - I make my writing for the fandom at large.
Second, it's not 2020 when we all looked around and saw who was rbing who and following who and posting/liking what. I was in that space for a good year and I feel sick to my stomach thinking about it and what I'd do, especially for approval. That's a really tiring way to interact with this fandom and I'm trying to have fun.
Third, I think at this point Enji's arc has developed that I understand people who are Stans of him, even if he still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like it's not a narrative that really appeals to me, but a lot of people do want people like Enji to redeem themselves and that's why they like them. I've been friends with people who've explained that to me years ago and it didn't stop us being friends. The abusive parent getting better has always been cited to me as the main reason and like... I get that. It's not something that makes me feel better, but i get why others want it.
Fourth, I just think it's weird to go ask this shit each time. Follow who you like, unfollow who you like, etc. One of the big personal fights I got into 2020-wise (behind the scenes) was over the idea of Enji rpers being in our group spaces, and as much as I got the repulsion, it never felt right excluding them especially once I started seeing that rhetoric apply to Hawks RPers like me. I think there's interesting things about Enji and complexity there enough that there would be people who would enjoy role-playing him as much as I understand that some people are triggered by his presence. So my stance that acceptance but those who were triggered could just not interact with the character in those roleplays was seen as quite soft and not punitive of people daring to find something interesting to explore in him and I think that's indicative of how much anger and venom we all had for each other 2020-wise.
Fifth, yeah, just follow who you want to follow. If I get bothered by tags on rbs, I block or ask you to stop. That's it. It's never that complicated. We're here to have fun. I am not a serious blog.

hiii marie i watched tsn last night and probably just spammed your notes with tsn rb's (sorry!) and i remembered you were writing the tsn fic! i'm super super excited to read it and i was wondering if there was a snippet you might be able to share with us? thank you <3
omg !! i just saw kjnvjkfds pls know you are welcome to spam my tsn tag whenever you want !!! i always feel like i'm annoying when i go on a tsn reblog spree or a tsn fic related reblog spree rip. (tho it's my blog i guess i can do whatever i want!) anyways i'm glad to know someone is enjoying that tag <333 (LOVED your 'i watch tsn like a queer drama' addition.... so true bestie)
and yes ofc i can share a snippet of the fic !!! no one has really asked before so thank you !! it's so nice to know some people are excited for it. idk how much you know about it? i've talked about it here and there, but basically, it's a you've got mail post canon au where mark gets signed up to a super exclusive mostly anonymous dating app for rich people against his will (dustin and his meddling, honestly!!) and he ends up falling head over heels in love with someone on there only to find out it was eduardo all along (she sings to the tune of agatha all along). anyways it's this very cheesy romcom trope-y story where mark basically has to realise that the only 2 times he's ever been in love were actually with the same person and if he wants to have peace of mind and true happiness he needs to earn eduardo's forgiveness and own up to his mistakes. it's gonna be so kitsch i can't wait to post it !!! it's this 100k monster rn and there's still a fair bit of plot to go on rip. i'm rambling now sorry, i've just been having soooo much fun with it and i don't get a lot of occasions to talk about it haha.
anyways here's a snippet that i thought wasn't tooo spoilery??? hope you'll like it !!! tw i gave them the world worst's usernames because i thought it would be funny af haha. apologies it's still unpolished and needs some edits but:
Mark never particularly liked the cold growing up, but there is always something eerie to him about December silently creeping in without much of a fuss in California. It always seems a little wrong to his New York State grown bones, his Harvard in winter thickened skin. Oh, the temperature drops, for sure, their equivalent of ‘cold’, but Mark recalls Massachusetts freezing winter days, him in his shorts in the snow and a disapproving Wardo staring after him, begging him to please put some clothes on, Mark’s skin prickling under the wind as he ignored him. Winter in Palo Alto is child’s play in comparison, which is the point of living there he supposes. It’s nice, but it’s strange. 
Feels off. 
It feels even more off when he knows he’s not gonna bother going back home for the break this year – like most years, let’s be honest – and get his fill of razor-sharp wind and bone-chilling cold. 
Winter always reminds him of the early days of Facebook; him glued to his laptop day and night in his freezing dorm room, pages and pages and pages of code that weren’t quite a website yet fighting to get out of his brain and onto the screen, and Dustin, Chris and Eduardo, a constant warm presence he was barely aware of hovering at his back. Especially Eduardo. 
And speaking of Eduardo, winter always reminds Mark of him too, despite his best efforts. 
Eduardo, who never liked the cold, not after spending his seminal years in Brazil, then Miami, who always struggled through the sunless, frozen, winter months he spent at Harvard, even though he never wanted to admit it. 
It reminds him of Eduardo’s shivering body that night he approached him with the idea for Facebook, cold cold cold cold, but listening to Mark about his idea outside in the January air all the same, the two of them alone on the cusp of something great. They could have been the only two people on Earth that night in the whipping wind. It’s what it felt like to Mark anyways, what it always felt like to Mark. Them against the world. Before The Phoenix, before Christy, before Sean… 
Wardo would have liked Palo Alto, Mark thinks that December morning as he makes his way to work and a slow melancholy takes hold of him, the way it always does what that kind of thoughts take root in his mind. 
He would have enjoyed the almost perpetual sunshine, the heat, the cool people he would have fit with so easily, the way Mark never could no matter how long he’s lived here… 
Mark sighs, taking a second in his assigned parking spot to compose himself. This stupid Gala he has to attend next week has been messing with his brain ever since Dustin discretely informed him that Eduardo Saverin has confirmed his presence to the event as well. 
And it’s fine. Eduardo can go wherever he likes. Especially when he’s invited. Mark isn’t his keeper or anything. And he’s proven many times in the past that they can be in the same room without yelling at each other. Well, most times anyways. 
But he’s always a little unsettled when he knows Wardo is stateside, the needle of his Eduardo inner compass all over the place, trying to reorient itself when it realizes that Far Far Away is no longer that far. Which is probably why he always feels like his heart is about to explode when they’re in the same room. 
It can’t be regrets, because Mark forbade himself from feeling those a long time ago. 
But it sure is something. 
He still feels a little itchy after a few minutes alone in his car so he gets his phone out, composing a quick text for eswag82. 
Winter always makes me melancholic, he types, something so incredibly soothing about the comfort of an ally, a friend, a confident, never further away than his pocket. Reflective. I start remembering things I never would normally think about. I don’t know if it’s seasonal depression or something, but… I’m always getting sad over nothing. Over stuff I should have been done with a long time ago. But I can’t help myself. It’s like December hits and suddenly… Do you know what I’m talking about? 
Mark sighs as he sends the text: time to face the music. 
The day passes quickly between meetings and coding and important phone calls… He doesn’t have the chance to check his personal texts until late in the afternoon but when he does, miraculously, warmth permeates through the cold of the approaching winter and spreads through him like a sip of burning hot coffee. 
I know exactly what you’re talking about, E writes. Everything slows down in winter, including us. We have the time to get reflective and melancholy. So many holidays in so many cultures too. A time of celebration, of togetherness. That can be challenging when you don’t feel particularly joyful. Or in my family’s case, together. Seeing what it should or could be highlights what it isn’t sometimes, yk? Or at least it’s like that for me.
I’m sorry, Mark writes back, feeling angry again on E’s behalf for that family that doesn’t make him feel welcome, doesn’t make him feel like he can be himself. 
It is what it is. I haven’t gone back home in a while now and this year won’t be any different. Sometimes taking care of yourself looks like neglecting others from an outsider’s perspective, but… I can’t worry about that. 
I’m not going home either this year. I’m busy, which is true, but it’s also… I don’t think I could stomach it. It’s been a while for me too and they’re great, but I still feel like I’m on the outside, yk? Like I’m looking at them through the windows and no matter how much I want to, I can’t go in. 
Mark swallows hard. He swallows back down more feelings of rejection and more fear that no matter what he does it’s never enough to belong. He swallows back down the fact that he created Facebook to be part of the club and he now fears he elevated himself so much higher that he can never fit in anymore. And he doesn’t even like people that much, he’s always said so, but the older he gets the more he feels they can be tedious and still part of his life anyway, that being alone at the top might not be the end goal he’s looking for anymore.

hiii! sorry i have been m.i.a for so long, but i finally made it, both flights were terrible, but it's okay because i have had such an amazing time so far. can't believe i'll be flying back in a week :/
OMGGGG how's it going with island guy, i hope you had an amazing time together ahh i'm so excited for the future updates of I Like U now, but take your time, no pressure!! is there something there between you though? did you feel anything?
that's true, thank you🥺❤️ i recently picked up my electric guitar now that i've come home and even though i haven't played in such a long time, i was surprised with how quick i picked up some songs or how easily i remembered others. it made me think about how sometimes there are some things in our lives that we stop doing because so many things get in the way and we lose touch with them, until we discover them again. the feelings i experienced when i was playing the same songs i used to play are honestly indescribable, it was as if nothing else mattered, but that beautiful melody. it made me realise how much i miss performing too❤️ i was wondering if that has ever happened to you too?
i just know beomjun would slay so hard, manifesting fr. when enhypen niki and jungwon did it, i was in awe and i couldn't stop thinking about yeonjun and beomgyu doing one. they could easily suit any genre, but i'm thinking something dark would look so good.
ooooh, i'm excited for the rest of your 80s oneshots - the taehyun one was just *chef's kiss*. and omg beomgyu's look for dream week lives in my head rent free - he looked like an 80s heartthrob. happy late beomgyu day btw🥺❤️
thank you so much smiles❤️, i'm just glad they're finally over. i hate exam season so much. it's always so stressful.
how are you doing though? how's writing going? i have this yeonjun oneshot that i've been working on for over a year now, it's so long and i'm almost finished, i just have three scenes left to write before i get into the editing process lol. i'm the type of writer that takes a long time to produce something and seeing how fast other writers produce pieces makes me feel a bit like i'm missing out? idk if that's the right word, but i wish i could write something good that fast sometimes, but i've also come to terms with the fact that everyone has their own pace when it comes to writing. some write faster, some write slower, but the end product is always amazing❤️
hi lovely, I'm sorry the flights were terrible, but how is it being home?
as for the island guy, he's coming next week I think, so we'll see if he'll come visit me or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm not too fussed about it really. he greeted me on my birthday, not really a greeting, more like a banter "you're getting older" message but yeah other than that I don't really think anything is going on atm :/
that's so beautiful, april 🥹 I haven't played my guitar for a long while, so I feel like when I do have the time and get back into doing it, I would most likely rediscover that feeling again :') I love that for you though, I find it so satisfying when the muscle memory kicks in, yano?
thank you!! I just saw your rb and your feedback just made me so happy, thank you and I'm really glad you liked it a lot! I feel like I'm going to hinder the 80s fics for a little while until I'm satisfied enough with the amount of uni work I have to do for my coursework. my deadline is in 6 weeks and I don't want to rush things so that's why I haven't been as active on here :') happy late beomgyu day too! <3
as for your writing, take as much time as you need. it is for you after all and we just have the privilege to read people's shared works/imaginations. I'm rooting for you and I hope you tag me whenever you do post it <3 but you're right! everyone's writing journey is different but the outcome is always just as beautiful! and I'm doing okay! I've been busying myself! I had a uni trip last week and then went home for my birthday in the same week, so I'm a little exhausted lmao, so the past week I've just been staying in uni longer than usual and doing work which I'm happy with! beomgyu's birthday post was the last thing I've written for a while, everything else has just been in bullet points for now until I have time to write everything in full :> I hope you've been well since you sent this ask!

hi youn you don't really know me but i just wanted to say your tags on that most recent reblog of the "reblog art posts you like" post are so real and i really appreciate you taking the time to write all of that. i'm a hobbyist content creator myself (i do it for myself + my close friends) but i've never really posted anything online because i worry about basically exactly that kind of thing. especially with my ocs. i don't think i'm capable of making myself not look at the notes, the one time i made a text post it somehow got like 60 likes and 5 reblogs and from that other post you reblogged that looks actually pretty generous which is horrifying to me.
anyway um thank you. as someone who regularly puts effort into running their mouth in the tags of art+writing posts (and has gotten multiple dms thanking me for doing so, actually!) and is too afraid to post on this site, i really really agree that reblogs and especially heartfelt tags make such a difference, and the situation here on tumblr is really discouraging to active creators and to new/silent creators as well. like current creators getting fed up and leaving is a big concern obviously but there is also already content being missed before it's even posted. and i would be really surprised if that weren't the case for many other young creators that just decided to keep their ideas to themselves because of all this.
i know personally when I see this happening to artists (including writers) that i really look up to what it really feels like is just that fandom is dying. like it's just a small handful of content creators here holding each other up (the majority of that handful of reblogs) and everyone else is probably on some kind of a mindless content scroll. likes to me are like a little hand wave, like a "hey I saw this thing!" marker, but reblogs are like taking a picture of it, going "hey I like this!" or "i want to see this again!" and it feels kind of weird to see swarms of people just kind of giving a little thumbs up/wave/brief nod to something they theoretically like.
sorry this got so long!!! i just really appreciated your post and i had a few thoughts and then i wrote a whole wall.. (also no pressure to post this (though it's also ok if you do)! mostly wanted to let you know that post meant a lot to me)
hi, dont apologise or worry about the length of this message! its all fine!
i forgot to mention it in the rb tags and my post earlier but YES. yes exactly, reblogs esp with tags on it, ppl gushing or talking about the creation they rb is always the best thing for a creator. this can literally make our days, i have messages and tags saved for whenever i feel unhappy about my stuff so i can look them up again! it really means a lot, so not only do you show your love and support to the creator and their work by rb, it can also make us so so happy to see you talk about it
and yes, its really really hard for new/starting creators to post here, bc of this issue. as well as for OCs!!! thats mostly why i also keep my OCs away and just do fanart bc honestly, i think this would actually sadden me so i dont want that. and knowing that many people do that too is very sad bc theres so much stuff people wanna show but dont dare bc they feel like no ones gonna look anw. so much creativity and wonderful works, kept hidden/unposted or not appreciated enough, its really saddening
anw, same thoughts honestly. thanks sm for the message!
lets keep creations, no matter if art or writing, fanwork or OCs, alive by actually reblogging it instead of just mindlessly liking it; lets give new/starting people a chance to show their work

My #1 post of 2022
ARE YOU STARVED FOR CONTENT?
Tumblr media
Do you need more content of your favorite character(s)? Are you always going to writers/artists' inboxes and requesting more of it because you feel like there won't ever be enough content?
Here is a guide on how to encourage writers/artists/graphics creators and other content creators to continue their amazing work.
don't just like our posts, reblog it. tumblr doesn't have an algorithm that suggests posts that people liked on others' dashboards. the only way the posts are going to circulate around and actually reach people who want to see it is when you reblog it for your followers to see. that's how we keep this place alive.
comment on our works! tell them how you felt when you saw it/read it. what kind of thoughts did you have? what were you doing? keysmash only? that's amazing, we love that. any words. "i love (character) so much" or "aojfossfiasjo help" or "I really love this work aaaa" or "bitch you're going to make me cry /pos" are all great. bonus points if you tell us in detail about what you liked about our works!!! like "I really like this phrase here..." or "the symbolism you used is really fitting for (character) because..." we don't just put work out there and say "hey this is amazing everyone should read it mwahaha" no we hope that you genuinely enjoy reading it and hope that we make someone's day. sometimes our confidence goes down in our writing and makes us want to stop but when we see such heartwarming comments, it really helps us with our self esteem.
be nice when you request!! don't just say "(character) + (prompt)" and press send. Say Hi! Say thanks! Where are your manners? Please don't act like you're my best friend who I talk to every day at the lunch table and joke around with- because I don't know you. Congratulate us on milestones if we have one going on. Because that goes a long way in making us feel appreciated in our works. We don't like feeling our work is being not appreciated and when the tags are dry it's going to be the fault of those who never supported their content creators.
INTERACT WITH US !! I cannot stress this enough. We are humans too, we want to be treated like humans, not some sort of authoritative figure or some account that puts out content every so often. We are human, we like interactions, we want to be appreciated not only for our works but also for ourselves. It's fine not to be our best friend or whatever, but one of the reasons people leave this site is because nobody talks to them. we are not some sort of business where you present an order and we give our content out and it just continues. we are humans, we are people, and we do this for free, so at least make it a pleasant experience to be on here.

rant under the cut . doubt anyone will see it but who cares anymore.
.
I’m tired of not being interacted with.
I always have to start the conversation. My ask box is empty 24/7. Maybe once in a while someone else will start a convo with me. I constantly get notes and I look and its just the kosa post I made. I might turn rbs/notifs off or delete it at this point. Someone I thought was my friend fucked up our friendship and I realized they didn’t actually value me in the first place. I joined the discord right when everything fell apart and practically everyone left. Half of my friends aren’t online often. I’m active in the discord and try to fucking fix everything and keep it lively and fun for everyone and it feels like nobody else fucking cares as much as I do.
idk.
I’m just really lonely and I feel like nobody cares to speak with me yknow. I reblog or make ask games, and I don’t get asks any asks. I tag friends in posts and they don’t rb or just acknowledge them. People always liked and never reblogged my art so I gave up posting it. I don’t get tagged in stuff and that made me hate picrew/reblog chains so I don’t do them anymore. Im always initiating conversations. I vent too much and complain and I can be rude so maybe that puts people off from me.
I just feel like I have stressed myself by trying to put in so much effort just for others to…not? Even back then when I was an anon. I would send rambles and ask people about their day and be super friendly just for..barely any response.
The last time my friends seemed to care so much was when I made my suicide note post at like, what, 14? I was begged to stay. People said they loved me so much and I mattered a lot to them.
..And then the next day it went back to no interaction.
I have ONE fucking irl friend and I’m grateful to have her and she means the world to me but fuck I’m so lonely. I even just talk to my animals like people at this point. I try to send asks to friends and they never get answered or the replies are short. Nobody sees my posts despite the fact I have 44 followers. Which irritates me. And half of those people followed for art and I can’t even do that anymore.
i feel like everyone liked me better when I was in the Lu fandom and under the different name. I got way more interactions back then. People saw my art more even though it was bad. Friends sent asks and DMs. People responded to my tagging. I would reblog ask games and I’d GET asks. I would post something and it would get attention. But now it’s so empty.
I used to post a headcanon about a character and people would say they loved it. Now I do it and it goes unnoticed. I talk about shit I like now and nobody fucking cares. Nobody listens. It pisses me the fuck off. Oh but if I came back as old me and started talking about lu again I’d get SOO much fucking attention.
I saw friends talk to eachother in huge reblog chains. I saw people reblog their mutuals posts all the time. Constantly answering asks. Talking about dm conversations. Everyone I was friends with. It feels like being in a huge circle of people yet everyone forgot about you. Even when you cut people off they didn’t notice. And that really shows that you weren’t of value in the first place. They didn’t care. You meant nothing to them. There was always someone who mattered more.
I feel invisible and honestly unwanted. And that really fuels my whole abandonment issues. Its so nice knowing people will leave you because they always have someone who’s more important. Someone they favor. Someone more valued.
I could post a suicide note right now and suddenly people would care. People would want to talk to me. People would ‘like’ me.
that really shows that people don’t care until your gone.

first of all: another thong pic 😐 what did i do to deserve this 😐 about to write a fanfic about the reader breaking up with oscar bcs he has nasty feet 😮‍💨 imagine if you didn’t delete the foot screenshots tho 🤭🤭
we def need an oscar version of that charles pic!! would be used every day!!! but i would be ashamed to have it in my camera roll 🫣
i saw the post you reblogged about liam (the one about rb maybe keeping him off for 2024) and im just 😩 i genuinely do not understand this. really. it’s crazy. also the thing about keeping your drivers away is so stupid?? isnt the most important thing that they get experience ?? liam has been driving super formula and other series and so on and that’s great, but there are so many other reserve drivers & so on that just don’t get any experience 😩 idk why this part got so long lmao just getting my emotions out before work 😮‍💨
also i love waking up and scrolling through your posts on the subway in the morning and just getting a pic of oscar’s thighs on full display 🥰 like today it was quite crowded so people most likely saw me eyeing a pic of just legs and necc…. hope they read the tags too 😁😁
hope u have a great day sweets!!! <3
Aww babe don’t be dramatic, there is more to come 🤭 be prepared at any times 😉 OMG DO IT😂😂 amazing story line 😂😂 but I did, I’m smart enough not to have questionable pics in my camera roll… 🙃
You asked I deliver 😘
Tumblr media
It took me awhile to type it and I hope there is no typos, I’ll not do it all over again 😂😂😂 it’d take them a while to read it through so it’s not that discriminating 🤭
Nothing is confirmed yet but he more likely ends up without a seat… I understand there are sponsors who want to keep Yuki and they’re holding onto Daniel because of his experience. But we also have Perez who does nothing, and even Oscar has more Q3 appearances than him who is driving a rocketship…. Liam is their best choice for a potential open seat tho, already has the experience with the car and doing amazing. So I find it stupid they still want to push him to the side and keep him there for another year… wish there was a chance that he can pull an Oscar and sign with another team but pretty much the whole grid is confirmed by now😐 rbr might have the most juniors in their academy program but not many of them getting the chance and support to make it into f1 😐
You’re reading my blog in the morning like someone reads their newspaper at the breakfast table 🥺🥺🥺 you’re so cute 🥹 I’d never disappoint, you’ll always find some sexy Oscar content here 🤭 OMg imagine if they did see and read my nasty tags over your shoulder 🫣🫣🫣 yikes 😬😬 one time the IT guy at work had seen all my Oscar pics that I store on Google drive 🙈 I was standing next to me desk with the ‘😐’ expression 😂😂😂 NEVER ASKING FOR HELP if my personal Google drive is involved!!
Hope you had a wonderful day sweetie 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Ok, Dian, except that any good Master or Mistress wants their slave(s) to be successful, to be fulfilled. Sure, for some folk that's sexual service, but in *this* economy? Really? Much better to have a dedicated, disciplined slave who thrives at school or work because that's what she's been controlled to do, then who comes home, finishes any work she needs to do, and can just let *go.*
That highly practical point aside, oh, this is GOOD. I'm not at all surprised by the ending - that just feels like the obvious conclusion here, really - but it's the part in between, how her thoughts drag her right back to the reality of her surrender, how every though reminds her of the file she's trying to resist, how even the thought of resistance just reminds her of how lost she already is. It's a wonderful spiral, and a concept I may just steal for my own use (in a much modified form.) 10/10 spirals

Ah, Charity is SO One Of Us, and that's refreshing to see in the Girls(tm) universe. I mean, I figured some people with Girls(tm) had to be, just given demographics, but still. I never had the Trust in Me moment - I don't know if I ever actually *saw* The Jungle Book - so I don't entirely understand the fascination with Kaa, so that part doesn't resonate for me. But that moment, the "oh, it's *real*" moment? That's a lovely, wonderful moment that makes this story hit in a very satisfying way. And I appreciate the Girls(tm) acknowledging the work that Charity did, the idea, such that they just gave her a Girl(tm). 9/10 spirals.

So. Reading this story makes me want to mention that the classic, Game Boy version, of Tetris is now available with the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pass. In case anyone has access to that and wants to experiment. For Reasons(tm). I definitely understand the zoning out to a video game, though Tetris isn't one that would scratch that itch for me the way some games do. Stardew Valley, or a rhythm game? sure. I lost *hours* to the time sink that was Guitar Hero. But that hyperfocus on a video game is *so* familiar, even if I've never been lucky enough to have a partner hijack that for some fun, as happens here. But the idea of it? Oh, I like it in theory at least. 9/10 spirals.

This one's a bit of a miss for me. The setup just feels *off* in so many ways I can't quite articulate, and it feels creepily predatory in a way I don't like. It's more voyeuristic than I prefer, too, and I think that's part of what feels off. If you're the sort to enjoy one person being conditioned to want to be a slave while watching someone else surrender, this is a good one for you, but... it isn't for me. 4/10 spirals

A 50-50 chance always seems pretty reasonable, until you have to get the same result multiple times in a row. Probability's deceptive like that. And this story uses that for a really interesting confusion induction that just overwhelms Judy in a delightful way. I love the look inside her head as she gets overwhelmed not just by the number of combinations, but also the increasing level of abstraction. It's just good, quality hypnosis. 9/10 spirals

Oh, this is sweet and tender and adorable and also has a lovely charge of heat to it. Long distance relationships are hard, but a routine, a habit, can make it less hard. Seeing this small snippet of Emily's life, of her relationship with Janelle, is lovely, though I find it more heart-melting than hot, perse. But that's me being a hopeless romantic for you. 10/10 spirals

Well, none of those are the mnemonics *I* used for cellular bio, but I suppose they work. Can she come up with a good one for the steps of the Krebs Cycle? that was the hard one for me. It's a clever use of the basic nature of mnemonics to get inside someone's head and work on their mind. But it reminded me of a few too many of my own late nights memorizing biology stuff. (the Chemistry I could handle. It was the bio part of biochem that took doing) 8/10 spirals.

This one's another voyeurism-based one, so I don't really enjoy it as much as others. It's well set up, and I have to wonder how much the curtains getting left open was an intentional choice on the part of Chandra's Girl(tm). It just feels too perfect to not be intentional. Jeremy's eventual surrender feels inevitable, and I'm admittedly curious just how much Chandra's Girl(tm) was playing things up for Jeremy. 7/10 spirals

Oh, I love the idea of using someone's strength "against" them, to lead them to surrender. "your strength is my strength now" is... *yes,* I like this line. And taking advantage of exhaustion, too, is such a clever idea. It's less than ethical, and the way Sasha reacts to her bothers me somewhat, but outside of that it's just a delightful view of the inside of Sasha's head as her strength is turned to another's service. 8/10 spirals

I *dislike* Francesca. This story is a combination of someone with attitudes I dislike, what feels like serial recruitment, and just cold disdain for someone not fitting a mold. It's well done, and if you like those things you'll almost assuredly like this story, but I just don't. 3/10 spirals

"She slipped," Savage said slowly. "She fell."
"You killed her," Tony said, closing her eyes with tears running down his face. "And we all saw it."
"Yeah, we saw it!" An unseen person's voice broke out.
An accident, Savage told himself. But was it? the voice in his head whispered. Was it really? Didn't she have it coming? Didn't they all have it coming? A chorus of accusatory agreements echoed, rising in volume until he couldn't take it any longer.

Savage leaned forward, pressing against the mesh divider to follow their gaze.
"Oh yes," he said, sitting back down and tucking his napkin into his collar. "It turns out if you kill people before they're bitten, they don't come back as zombies. Interesting, isn't it?"
He crunched a Brussels sprout, still grinning.
It took Anna a moment to understand what he was saying and it was a moment too long. Savage's noisy crunching was beginning to attract the attention of the former parents.
"You killed Julie?" she breathed.
"Accidents happen," Savage replied casually, chomping away. "Where's that boy of hers? Seems as though he was always following you around like a puppy that needs to be put down."
Anna's heart ached at the very mention of John.
"Ahh." Savage paused, took a sip of his wine, and then continued. "From the look on your face, somebody already took care of that part."
——
"But at least you're not leaving anymore," John said in a cheery tone. "So at least that's something."
She reached out and put a hand on his. He immediately stopped pushing the cart, wondering if she knew how fast his heart was beating.
"What does that mean?" Anna asked.
"It's different now, isn't it?" he replied, not loving the look on her face. "You can't go traveling now. You can't leave me."
And there it was. The unspoken thing, said out loud.
Anna leaned back in the cart and stared face-to-face with her oldest pal.
"John," she said, keeping a very deliberate distance. "You're my best friend, yeah? You know that."
" 'Course," John replied. Even the tips of his ears blushed. They were best friends, they'd always been best friends. But they could be so much more, now it had all changed, he wanted to say, the words on the tip of his tongue. They could be so much more to each other.
"John."
He opened his mouth to speak as their eyes met. This was it, this was his moment.
"You're my best friend," Anna said. "And nothing could ever change that."
All the air went out of him at once. His shoulders sagged and something in his eyes went away.
——
"I must admit." John winced as Anna helped him to his feet. "I can see why you found him so irresistible"
"Shut up," Anna ordered in a pleasant voice. "It's confirmed, I've got terrible taste in boys. Brilliant taste in best friends."
John smiled, hobbling along at her side.
——
"I'm so going to lose my job," he sulked, spinning the merry-go-round with one hand. Anna looked up at the falling snow. It was a beautiful night, and for the first time that year, she was starting to feel a little Christmassy.
"I know what'll cheer you up," she said, sitting down in a big patch of untouched snow.
"What, assaulting a cleaner?" John suggested moodily. "Because it wasn't what I hoped for, to be honest."
Anna was still laughing as she lay backward, stretching out her arms and legs to make a snow angel.
"And you say I'm the soft one," John said, clambering down into the snow beside her. He flapped his arms and legs wildly. "Oh no, mine's all crap now."
"Yours is brilliant," Anna assured him, even though his angel was crap and he most definitely was the soft one. "Me and Dad used to have competitions every winter when we came up to visit my nan and granddad. Mum would judge to see who could make the best ones but she always let me win."
John reached out his arm until the tips of her fingers were just a snowflake away from his.

this is all from the anna and the apocalypse book but it was too long to put these in the tags
