#i gonna uuuuh post stuff

[death-limes]

fuckin uuuuuuuuuuh sorry if this is a hot take or anything but “ai art is theft and unfair to the ppl who made the original art being sampled” doesnt suddenly become not true if the person generating the ai art is disabled

and its also possible to hold that opinion WITHOUT believing that disabled ppl are in any way “lazy” or “deserve” their disability or “it’s their fault” or any of that bullshit

i get that disability can be devastating to those who used to do a certain type of art that their body no longer allows in the traditional sense. but physical and mental disability have literally NEVER stopped people from creating art, EVER, in all of history. artists are creative. passionate people find a way.

and even if a way can’t be found…. stealing is still stealing. like. plagiarizing an article isn’t suddenly ethical just bc the person who stole it can’t read, and being against plagiarism doesn’t mean you hate people who can’t read.

the whole ableism angle on ai art confuses the hell out of me, if im honest. at least be consistent about it. if it’s ethical when disabled people do it, then it’s ethical when anyone does it

#lime rants #i think the only ethical way to use ai art is any way in which youre not claiming it as your own work #so like. you wanna generate a funny image to post in the groupchat #or you want some ideas for a piece of art that you ACTUALLY ARE gonna make yourself. but u need inspiration and cant find good extant image #unfortunately theres no way to regulate any of that #i also think theres something fucky about implying that disabled people cant do ANYTHING #even stuff that they historically have been able to do just fine #like ‘well disabled people are just useless so you cant expect them to do anything themselves’ uuuuh #disabled people can absolutely create their own art. they do not need to steal #and even if not that doesnt just make stealing okay

the past upon a funeral pyre

A backstory snippet for my Tav, Pyre. Warnings: references to past slavery/abuse, survival sex work, and misgendering

When he breathes the air on the western coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars for the first time, he almost weeps. So far from Thay, the skies are clearer, brighter blue. There is so much sky beyond the rocky cliffs and cruel stone walls and bleak darkness.

By now, his master’s grand manor must be nothing but smoldering embers and unnatural corpses finally given rest. When the master died, so did every last undead servant that staffed the wretched place, collapsed over whatever task they tended when the magic animating them fizzled out. He left behind a mausoleum, fled under cover of night, with as many valuables as he could conceivably carry to pay his way to Aglarond.

It was not an easy journey. His master had him trained in all manner of art and conversation, fine literature and the other myriad entertainments befitting the highest class of concubine, but none of those arts included the means to survive on his own. He could only guess which of the things he grabbed in his blind panic were actually of worth. The intricacies of economics are not terribly important to the work of a disgustingly wealthy man’s personal whore, and so he never learned them. He didn’t have much trouble, at least, when he was handing over fist-sized jewels for something more discreet to wear than the skimpy finery his master preferred for him. The merchant was left gawking at the pile of fine silk and gold ornaments he left behind. His new clothing is roughspun, dull, and poorly fitted, but he does not stand out beneath the drab grey hood, which is exactly what he wanted.

There are no doubt enough riches left behind in the smoking ruin of that cage to fill a dragon’s hoard and then some, and he takes a grim satisfaction in knowing that most of them likely burned to nothing the same as the body of the man who kept him prisoner.

By the time he made it to Aglarond, his bag was significantly lighter. It was a long trek, and he traded cut jewels and mithril chains, candlesticks and gilded mirrors for food, transport, and reasonably safe sleeping accommodations. It was uncertain going for one who had never set foot beyond the walls of a grand manor house populated by milky-eyed corpses drenched in perfumed oils to hide the smell of decay and puppeteered by the will of a madman. He left behind a life of miserable luxury, and the reality of freedom is cold nights and blistered feet and hunger pangs, but he knows that a gilded cage is still a cage, and he would sleep on cold stone floors and bleed through his ill-fitting boots for a hundred years more before he would return to the life he left behind.

When he reaches the end of his stock of stolen riches, he drops the last of his coins into the greedy palm of a sunburnt youth who tells him the comings and goings of the ships in Aglarond’s harbor, and points him towards a privateering vessel bound for Westgate in the morning.

He buys his way aboard the ship with a bottle of wine and the only skill he was taught that has any use beyond the high-echelon backbiting and peacocking of the archmages of Thay.

He hasn't told the captain his name, but then again, the captain has not asked. He's called him all manner of pet names, crude "compliments" babbled in the throes of pleasure, but never so much as bothered to ask his proper name–the one drawn in delicate script over the surface of the bottle sitting in his quarters, the one sealed with a painted succubus kiss.

A few weeks confined to the captain’s quarters tending to the man’s carnal desires is a paltry nothing compared to a century of miserable servitude, and it passes with a sort of hollow dullness. He spends much of the time lying on his back, staring numbly through a porthole at the endless sea and sky, the animal grunting and curses and tedious filth fading away under the sound of the crashing waves, the calls of the gulls wheeling by, and the siren song of a new life beyond the horizon.

"You could stay, pretty devil," the captain purrs over his shoulder. He draws his cloak more tightly around him, shuddering at the man's slimy tone, heavy with innuendo. "The ship's never had such luck on such a long voyage. I lost no men, we weathered no storms. You've been a blessing from the gods, my lovely."

He feels the captain crowding closer behind him, but he keeps his gaze resolutely on the docks, close enough now that the crew on the deck below are calling back and forth to one another, the vessel shudders and bobs beneath his bare feet as the anchors are dropped, as the sails are hauled in.

My lovely.

His lip curls as he feels the captain's breath against his cheek, hot and moist and making the golden trinkets in his ear sway and tinkle against one another. It smells of bitter liquor and salted fish. In his mind's eye, the man over his shoulder is dark-haired, elven, only just showing the signs of his seventh century in the creases on his dour face and grey at his temples, not a stocky human man marked by scars and weathered by years at sea.

His eyes do not leave the dock, closer now, the ship smoothly gliding to a stop. Just a bit closer, and the crew will lower the gangplank, and he will finally be free.

He thinks of his wings, left mounted over the grand fireplace in his master's study, a testament to his first and last flight, his first and last attempt to escape while his master still breathed. He wishes more than ever he could fly now, when freedom, true freedom, is so close he can taste it on the balmy saltwater breeze.

His wings are likely one of the few things that will have survived the fire that consumed what was his grand and gilded prison for nearly a hundred years.

"I never got your name," the captain croons in his ear like a lover. "I would have it painted on the hull of my ship, so she could always bear your gift. I would have a likeness of you carved as the figurehead, and have you warm my bed and bring my crew luck for the years to come."

Pretty words, prettier than the things the captain called him while he was beneath him, like they shared something romantic, rather than the truth of it–a transaction. It was simply the price he paid for a way to leave the ashes of his old life, could it even be called a life, behind.

The ship jolts and shudders to a final stop, he sways with the motion, and the captain sways too, but uses the momentum to slide a hand beneath the cambion's loose-fitting clothes to grope possessively at his chest.

It's instinct. His body reacts without thinking, fire blazing under his skin and bursting outwards. The captain cries out, stumbles away, and the flames dripping from the devil's skin follow like slavering hounds. He turns to face the flailing, screaming human and he can feel sparks dripping from his eyes, licking from between his bared teeth.

"You may call this ship a tomb when she sits at the bottom of the sea," he snarls as the wood begins to hiss and smoke and crack beneath his feet. "And you will never touch me again."

He does not wait to see the captain's fate. He traverses the ship's deck and crosses the gangplank, leaving a burning trail in his wake. It doesn’t take long for the crew to notice the rapidly spreading flames, and while a few of them try in vain to put them out or at least to slow the spread, others simply jump ship and swim to safety.

 He holds his head high as he turns his eyes to the sea, to the horizon where, far beyond the ship slowly being engulfed in hellish flame, sits a crumbling pile of ash and blackened stone, a funeral pyre for the man who held him prisoner, and for the girl he used to be.

not to be a hater but uuuh that new sims 4 pack huh. literally ALL of this should be a base game update?

#like i understand ppl are excited abt the content but like #more in depth relationship and family dynamics should be a free update imho??? #sims 4 is sooo lacking in that department like if you'Re gonna improve on a broken system make it free for everyoneee #also uuuuh i kinda don't enjoy that they're releasing infants 2 days before the pack and the pack like. seems to add vital stuff to them? #seems like the changing table is maybe ONLY in the expansion pack for example? #like idk idk maybe it'll end up being worth it but from the blog post and trailer alone I think that like. most of what's included should be #a free update to fix half-finished relationship systems #marshall's thoughts #I don't use my private twitter anymore so sims posting goes here now sorry

Hey uuuuh... xReader writers....

Could you mark your stuff somehow if reader is gonna be even thinking about calling the black character they are with "boy."

(I'll be halfway through a fic and suddenly I feel very uncomfortable and extremely embarrassed and I have to go)

I headcanon that Hobie wouldn't be ok with that word coming from anyone but oh man for sure not from my white ass

(the comic book version of Hobie only gets called that by villains. The spider band's Final Boss calls him that constantly....)

((I do specifically mean the word Boy. I haven't had any one express to me discomfort with being called Girl. I talk about the alternative Boi in the comments. I would say "hey boi~!" I would never say "I'm going to make you mine, boy"))

((I didn't realize that this was socially acceptable in different BIPoC circles. I made this post mostly expecting this to have been a mistake that white writers were making. My friends and family have made me sensitive to this word and I fully expected this to be a non-controversial take.

I don't want to delete this post since it's already been reblogged so all deleting would do is prevent me from getting alerts about responses,

but if my clarifications in the notes don't make sense to you, I beg y'all to talk to other black southerners who are also bothered by this instead of getting me to try and explain it better))

REACTION IMAGES BLOG PATCH NOTES (aka the 10k follower celebrations got out of hand)

Hey everyone!

So it's been a hot minute since I announced that we passed 10,000 followers on here! I'm sure... well, I'm actually sure that most people won't be TOO fussed either way, but I did say I was gonna do some stuff, and I wanna stick to my word if nothing else xD

So! Let the celebrations begin! Firstly, I'm announcing a new QnA (I love those things) that'll last,,,, I'll say 2 weeks and go from there. Feel free to ask me about whatever you want!! If you want to cater to me specifically, my current big interests are Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect, and uuuuh Halo. (Also Bionicle remains a constant.) (Lots of scifi videogame stuff at the moment...)

[IK there's still some stuff in the inbox I need to answer/respond to you - I promise I'll get to those as well <3 thank you so much for your patience, if you've been waiting]

Secondly, here's a new song cover! IDK how many of you have played the game Divinity: Original Sin 2, but here's me singing Lohse's song; Sing For Me.

Thirdly: here's a new gimmick blog! I Was Not Joking. (Though, for my sanity, it's gonna be weekly instead of daily.) I'll be posting the images I have saved in my folder called 'feral screenshots' - it'll basically be a collection of cursed images/images with strange auras. I wanna say y'all know the ones, but if you don't, then here's an example of what we're dealing with:

[Image ID: a person floating in a rubber ring in a swimming pool. On their head is what looks like a life-size Lego head.]

Introduciiiiing the Weekly Weird Images blog!

And Fourthly! It is my great pleasure to announce that we're adding alt text to all the images on this blog! Sorry it took so long to get round to T_T

And yes - I do mean we! To write out all the alt text for these images, I've on-boarded minion-in-chief/court jester aplomb @tizzytinkertilly! I (the reaction images guy) will still be handling every other part of the blog - she'll just be doing that bit. For the sake of my sanity xD

This is kind of a big change - both the addition of alt text, and the fact that this blog is no longer a single-person operation - so for the foreseeable future, the queue's been tweaked so that we only post 2 images a day instead of 4. (Fun fact! 2 images a day was the original MO of this blog, and then covid happened and I was like "I'll make it 4 a day because it'll be a nice thing to do for everyone while they're miserable in this pandemic :)" and then I never stopped (although you could argue that the pandemic never stopped either).) Maybe if/when we fall into a good routine and feel like we can do more, we can bump the rate of images back up, but right now this is a teething phase and I'm keen to slow things down for a little bit. :P (Tumblr has made some WEIRD mechanical choices for group blogs, I'll be honest.)

And, uh, yeah, that's all! Let the QnA begin- Hope y'all enjoy the song cover- Hope y'all enjoy the additional blog- A big welcome to Tinks and to alt text! Happy 10k followers, everybody!

#bwaaaaaah I can finally post this #It's taken way longer than it probably should have to get all of this together #Personally I blame executive dysfunction #but HOORAAY we're here now #not a pic #10k extravabonganza

I'M HOLDING A HALLOWEEN PARTY

i haven't been to any halloween thing in a long time so i thought i'd give it a shot.

uuuuh. made a gliscord server for it so people can text at each other during it too. so we have that. here

it'll be fun! i hope. i havent hosted a party before. it starts at 6 pm and goes until everyone leaves

Updated the link so it should last 7 days starting Oct 30th

OOC rules!

Most of Basil's rules are bendable, but some I am gonna enforce OOC as well. I'll go over them in order here with extra information!

It looks long, I promise it's a lot of silly stuff. Please read it, still, but I'm not gonna be glaring at everything you do. MOST important still is in red.

Please tag all posts for this event with the official tag: #basils bhalloween bash. The B in bhalloween is important.

Please be normal: The server/event is open to both kids and adults, though Basil isn't exactly fond of the idea of children coming. Nothing overtly NSFW, please!

Younger characters do not have to stay outside, nor do appropriately sized Pokemon. However, they must stay out of the wine.

Please don't do anything that dramatically changes the party- IE, destroying Basil's house- without permission. Best place to ask that is the Discord server linked above.

Skorna is free game to harass. She will be vaguley annoying during the party.

If you do bring any food/drinks, be sure to post about it! I'll make a potluck channel in the discord as well.

(Speaking of the discord, if you're in it, it'd be cool if you could add your posts about the event to the server's blog feed channel!)

basil will be annoying about nov 1st being her birthday. just warning you

Please don't actually harm any of Basil's Pokemon! Skorna and Thyme you can harass but nothing long-term. Pranks and goofs are fine.

Basil is allergic to fairy types. Fairy HYBRIDS are fine as long as they don't, like... shed. Or use any Fairy moves around her. though it would be a little funny

Keep the event low/drama stakes, please!

I don't want to fully ban legendaries, but I am VERY selective about which ones can come. Like- Hoopa is chill, but Kyogre isn't. Legendaries that stay in human disguises are cool, as well.

If there's anyone in attendance that would prefer not to interact with certain sapient Pokemon/Legendaries, please respect that! If you're one of those people, please be polite about it!

Let me know if you try and snoop around Basil's house. That's weird though lmao

The vote will be between Addams, halloween music, and horror movies :)

As for event date: Most posts should go up/be queued for Halloween itself! Feel free to do pre-RP and stuff like that- I'll have channels set up in the server for that as well.

That should be everything! Thank you :>

[witch-of-many-names]

Hi uuuh my name is Astar (rather I'd prefer to be called that here, but friends can know what my real name is) and uuuh trying to get back in the swing of Tumblr really

I usually lurk around witchcraft/spiritual/otherkin circles and also dnd and vtm

I'm the host of a system, the body age is 25, my personal age is. Uncounted because I've long since lost track. But for sake of convenience I just use the body's age.

What I will probably post:

-poetry when it strikes me

-occult things

-aesthetic things related to uuuuh idk whatever it be

-idk I'm getting back into the swing of things it may change a bit (the ebb and flow of things and such)

DNI if:

-the usual rigamaroll (homophobic, transphobic, racist, so on and so forth)

-youre gonna get on a moral high horse about my practice (I don't mean in a "hey you accidentally appropriated this/hey letting you know this is antisemetic" for example, that's 100% fine and appreciated. I mean in a "you're a bad person for working with who you work with" sense. That's just gonna get you blocked immediately.)

Please interact if:

-you wanna try n be friends

-you wanna talk abt stuff related (or unrelated I have more interests abt various things (like pokemon lmao) (please talk to me about pokemon it has been my special interest since age 4))

-uuuuh idk vibes

are you back on tmblr?

hmm i dont know how to reply, i never really left, like, fully?

i wanted to start drawing more personal stuff or just, other fandoms aswell as HS, but got scared because, this account was or is still know to be mainly all Homestuck, and as you can see with recent post, original stuff doesn't get as much spotlight sadly haha

At this time female presenting nipples (lmao) got banned and people migrated to twitter, and this like double scared me because i had no idea of what to do

Story short, tried to start a twitter, but posted HS there too because i was scared of people only liking me because homestuck and slowly not managed both, tumblr and twitter, because im and introvert and doing social media management its spooky !!!

But answering more directly your question.Im back? Mayyyybe? more less, yeah, im trying to be brave even if its at my own pace 

Tho, i dont want to stick to Homestuck, because I like SO many stuff, that sticking to only one would harm my sanity I still like homestuck tho!

And this year, i've been posting more personal stuff, like... yall noticed my silly oc, Nano. I want to be a comic artist, and one day ill finish polishing the story and start doing their webcomic while i work on other comic stuff, but for now, im happy im finally brave enough to post the silly goober. Really apologize for reblogging a lot of them

This answer took longer than i expected so sorry omg, uuuuh but YEH! slowly but steady on Tumblr. gonna try to see if people like my art and personal art

Try to be active, do asks, request, pretty sure only doodles but still, when i got a lil of time since its fun to practice if i can ,and if i get any haha

Sorry for over explaining i cant shut up aaa bless your patience dear reader if youre reading this omg!!! Have an awesome day!

Could you perhaps indulge me in whatever you want to talk to werecat Neo about?

Okay, UUUUH, I didn't think THAT deep into it yet but...

It's an AU happening post V9- the idea is that it's an exaggerated side-effect and affliction post-possession, although I guess I could make a whole different timeline if I thought enough about it-

The first months Neo's not gonna remember too well what she did when transforming. She's going to kill and eat people, she will have foggy memories about it. It's with time that her body will get used to the transformations and she will be able to take better control and remember better. However, Neo's not an idiot, she remembers the transformation, and waking up covered in blood makes it easy for her to know she turned into a monster.

ON THE OTHER HAND, she's capable of recognizing people she cares about by appearance and scent when transformed, so it would be hard for her to target them rather than random people for food.

I'm p sure I don't really gotta say that the transformation is actually pretty painful. And she grows from 4'7'' (139cm) (not counting heels) to around 5'3'' (161cm).

She's very soft and fluffy, that's very important. She's weak to catnip and cucumbers (the last one is a joke but, she could be surprised I GUESS). Strong jaw and sharp teeth- equally sharp claws, and her tongue when transformed has papillae like a real cat's for her grooming.

Being reduced to being so primal in nature keeps her from using her Semblance well. She can't use it to change her appearance- at much it would be used by mere instinct and subconsciously, but not really on purpose.

Do NOT pet her if she doesn't ask for it, otherwise she's gonna go feral, and bites and scratches in this form are a lil wee more dangerous.

She keeps scars from her humanoid form, obviously, but the only visible ones are the scars on her hands- her front paw beans on the fingers are damaged from her mutilated fingertips, and she has a scar crossing her central bean on the left hand.

She's very demanding of attention if you're a loved one- also very cuddly and warm. Specially clingy if she happened to also be coursing through a heat cycle.

Also, Neo just despises all of this. Not only because of what it keeps reminding her of, but also, she hates losing control, so it really doesn't help her self-hatred in relation to all the cat stuff going on.

And now naughty headcanons under the cut 👀

Good news Nunya, I was able to tell other black coworkers the horrific connections between African Americans and Dahomey thanks to women king exposing it

Seriously wtf Sony?

“Hi black girls (especially light skinned ones) who was told they ancestors were constantly raped by their white masters. Here a historical movie about a group of African amazons! Oh they were prolific slave traders where the French and British had to fight then to end their slave trade. And modern dna research are about to show which exact groups African Americans with slavery ancestry came from? And these main groups are primarily victims of Dahomey kidnapping? Uuuuh WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL’l

Seriously how the fuck a bunch of black peoplr thought pulling a black version of birth of a nation or as I told my coworkers “Jews lionizing the Nazis” movie?

I told them as they are too of most black media focusing on slavery or Jim Crow. Seriously there are so many pro colonial African stories we can do.

But black creators in Hollywood are stuck in the plantation.

I had a link to a post on Tumblr in Action with someone going into a rant about how slavery in Africa was totally different than it was in the US, with the standard 'read a damn book' bit added to it to show that the person that wrote it hasn't actually done that themselves.

Really some of the biggest differences between the two was if they came to the Americas or the middle east or Asia they had to be transported long distances and several died on the way.

And then another one of the other big differences, at least in the US probably Canada too don't know a much of their history but it seems reasonable, if they were brought here they didn't need to worry about becoming a human sacrifice at any point and time, not at any level that I can think of.

People bitch and moan about Christianity but we really managed to get that whole, don't sacrifice humans to God thing right.

Seriously how the fuck a bunch of black peoplr thought pulling a black version of birth of a nation or as I told my coworkers “Jews lionizing the Nazis” movie?

Director

Screenplay by

Story by, lol

__________________________ Both this movie and Black Panther are works of fiction so that makes sense.

I really have to wonder how much research she did other than they existed and liked killing people.

The group didn't exist because they were super fierce and strong warriors, not at the start at least I'm sure, they existed for the same reason stalin had women in the red army in WWII, there weren't enough men to fill the ranks because they'd been killed in the war already.

I told them as they are too of most black media focusing on slavery or Jim Crow. Seriously there are so many pro colonial African stories we can do. But black creators in Hollywood are stuck in the plantation.

I'm guessing you mean "pre colonial" instead of "pro colonial" which ya there's likely lots of those need to go and do a butt ton of research, that or just take a local legend and present it as a legend, since I don't know what record keeping is like.

They could re-do Shaka, leave out Rorke's Drift, the various Nubian Pharaoh's there's gonna be some good stories there I imagine.

Whole bunch of stuff, just need to get people that are willing to do the leg work and consult local folks where these stories come from.

I imagine there's some Arabic records of what they did to the Black Africans out there to peruse,

How do the clans work in your universe? I mean, it seems more humanized/anime-esque (not that it's a bad thing!) and I'm curious

I've been meaning to write out how the Clans are in my AU but never got around to, so I'm happy that you asked this!!

SO UUUUH-- THIS RESPONSE IS GONNA BE VERY VERY WORDY

Warriors AU: A Superhero society of cats!

Each cat is born with their own superpower with a unique title that is said to be StarClan-given; not every superpower is unique tho, since multiple cats can have similar powers (e.g. lightning, super speed). So if two cats had the same superpower (e.g. fire power) the titles for their superpower will be different (like "Fire Blaster" & "Rage Flame"). For the powers regarding The Three, I'll talk more about them later on!

The ranks in this AU go like this:

Kits -> Kits

Apprentice -> Intern

Warrior -> Hero

Medicine Cats -> Medics

Deputy -> #2 Hero

Leader -> #1 Hero OR Superhero

Elder -> Retiree

(this AU is heavily inspired off of My Hero Academia btw!)

Some examples of Heroes & their powers: Longtail's Tailwhip / Lionheart's Mighty Roar / Sunbeam's Sunburst

Instead of being known as "warrior" cats they refer to themselves as "hero" cats, and the Clan cats live in more of a superhero society. Most often rivalry amongst Clans are about which Clan is the most heroic, etc

All the cats in the AU have humanlike capabilities/knowledge, like operate machines & occasionally walk on two legs

The Three (aka Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing)

Every Clanborn cat has superpowers in this AU, so what does that make The Three (who have StarClan-given powers in canon)???

In this AU, The Three still have their powers like in the books. But the difference with them is that they are known as The Superstars!! They can take their superpowers and reach it to maximum heights by briefly evolving into a Superstar Form! <- I'LL MAKE A SEPARATE POST ABOUT THIS CONCEPT LATER

When Firestar got revealed to be the Fourth cat in the prophecy, his Superstar Form is literally just him going Super Saiyan mode LOL!!!

By the end of the Great Battle, they've fulfilled the prophecy and can no longer take on their Superstar Forms. Just like in the books, they also lose their own superpowers altogether in this AU.

BloodClan in the AU!

I'M HONESTLY SUPER EXCITED TO TALK MORE ABOUT MY AU BLOODCLAN,,,,, UHH SORRY THIS ASK RESONSE IS LONG ALREADY LOL!!!!

BloodClan in this AU are a squad of punks that reside in Radioscream City, an abandoned city that was once sprawled & bustling with many people. All-over town are cardboard forts and LOOOTS graffiti. The members in BloodClan are referred to as grunts; their vibes have inspirations taken from Pokemon rival teams, specifically Team Yell!!!! Much like Team Yell, BloodClan grunts are HUUUGE FANS of Scourge & also have like,, posters they draw fanart on to show support for him. Even after Scourge is gone, BloodClan basically lives on as a Scourge fanbase haha

BloodClan cats do have superpowers, but they all share the same kind: Graffiti Saliva, where their saliva has become toxic paint they use to graffiti anywhere they go (i created this concept years before pokemon came up with grafaiai who's literally just my bloodclan concept- im p sure the concepts used elsewhere too but man lol)

A VERY TL;DR (NOT REALLY) BLOODCLAN LORE: growing up, Scourge (as Tiny) grew up being obsessed with video games, vampires & loved dark-colored aesthetics & graffiti-styled stuff (got it from one of their owner's kid who he liked to watch while they're gaming). When he ran away to Radioscream City after the Tigerclaw incident, it was overrun with cats without a name for themselves.

When Tiny called himself Scourge, he created BloodClan out of the stray cats & introduced them to graffiti painting. His otaku, vampire-loving side never changed & he references video games in life a lot. Scourge'd also say something like "LAWL" or "WE ARE TEH HAWTNESS o3o" or "GET REKT". After Scourge obtained Graffiti Saliva, he found a discarded painting mask that he wears 24/7.

I NEED TO MAKE A SEPARATE BLOODCLAN LORE INFO DUMP POST SOMETIME LATER ON, IDK WHEN

PHEW ALRIGHT THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF WITHOUT MAKING THIS ANY WORDIER THAN IT ALERADY IS HAHA

I'll talk more about my interpretation of warrior cats in the future as different posts so I can go more in-depth + draw pics for those!

Tension (FFXIV)

Paradise Found (GO)

Tevinter Lucien (DAI)

Knight Enchanter (DAI)

Cole (DAI)

Snow March Stuff (DAI)

Unfinished Lucy (DAI)

Before Dressrosa (OP)

Dressrosa (OP)

Blood (OP)

Most of these are part of published but unfinished fics. Because of that, some WIPs I didn't include because they didn't have anything new, beyond what has been published. I also, tragically, found a few lines I'd written for a finished fic but in a different, forgotten file. So it wasn't included in that fic and I can't list bc it makes me sad lol.

Anyway, gonna tag @zombolouge, @racketghost, @feralkwe, and @icescrabblerjerky. Plus anyone else who wants to but I'm too lazy to tag 11 people.

Uuuuh surprise I did the thing? Aaand an announcement or two.

First, still have room for Hypokits requests, and if I go over the number I’ll save the rest for next time.

Second, my work has a thing where if you do a whole bunch of online classes you get money so I’m gonna do that, start saving up for a drawing pad that has a screen because I tried the other kind and it Does Not Vibe with me. So if there’s a sudden break in art that’s why. I’ll try to upload old stuff I have saved up but my brain is Swiss cheese about posting sometimes.

Anyway enjoy your surprise and have a good day!

ignore that i am (checks date) a month late to the wip ask game. am i allowed to ask about the "idk what to call this but hayatos gonna be a bro" and "Daichi is horny but like. for science." fics?

Both of them are NSFW so i'm putting this under a cut. tldr; I have a lot of wip smut

I don't rlly post nsfw much anymore bc I had a bad experience a year or two ago involving someone who only wanted to beta for my NSFW. when they complained the X tag hadn't been updated in a whole ~week~, I mentioned I was writing out of passion and they shouldn't be complaining abt something they're getting for free. (its why HX was archive locked at first, I was testing the waters to see if they had an Ao3 account/if I would be good posting my nsfw under lock so they wouldn't see it & be weird abt it. they complained my bed sharing fic didn't end in 'a bucket of lube' and were gushing abt other nsfw fics in the gen chat of a family friendly server.) (also they might have been a minor? im not sure. either way. tangent. let me get to the real stuff ur asking abt.)

hayato's gonna be a bro is basically magic sex pollen? basically Daichi messes around with some ancient artifact from baraji and gets Mega Horny and hayato's a bro about it.

daichi is horny for science is the 'locked in a room and u gotta fuck to get out' trope, but with more him geeking out abt X's reproductive system. tldr i figure since Ultras evolved suddenly when the plasma spark happened, their whole biology changed so rapidly they could have evolved into a biological endpoint. Daichi's trying so hard to figure out how X works and X's is like "uuuuh Ultraman scientists are still trying to figure out how to have kids, actually!" its why there's been so few ultra children, a mix of the great war + most ultras conceiving while in a humanoid form. its p nonsensical honsetly (tho its a step above the egg fic LMFAO. that ones plot makes no sense tbh)

#comical asks #comical fanfic #sorry i kinda rambled a bit there #its a miracle my fics arent pure me rambling dumb shit #i miss writing i want to do it more #2023 has been a hot shitshow for me so far so maybe now that its slowing down i can hammer out HX 20 #and some new PC. i have Ideas.

For the fanfic writer emoji ask: uuuuh I'm super curious about everything!!! But mainly

💖 What made you start writing?

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

💖 What made you start writing?

I read a book called Julie of the Wolves by Jean C. George for an assignment in elementary school and basically became a wolfgirl when I was like 7 years old. But, basically I became really obsessed with wolves and nature-like stuff and I decided I wanted to try writing my own stuff like that, especially since I was further influenced by stuff like the Redwall series and Tamora Pierce's The Immortals quartet and I really wanted to write my own "magical archer girl with animals as companions" stories ahahaha. You wouldn't guess it from the fact I write Transformers (science fiction) but I'm actually a fantasy writer through and through.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

Already answered this in the ask right before this one, but a trope that I actually can't stand in romance fics and would never ever write is "I'm mad that the person I like is dating someone else, so I'm gonna date/have sex with this other person to try and make them jealous and want me." It's just so immature and I can't see any of my favorite characters doing that, much less it actually working.

I was thinking of saying "infidelity" but honestly, I could see myself writing an infidelity fic if it was something like "one character is in an arranged marriage with another, but they meet their true lover in secret" because I like the vibes of tragedy involved in that. But like, I would never find it appealing to write a monogamous pairing where one of them cheats on the other even if they end up working through the drama and going to therapy or whatever and staying with each other. That's just not the kind of thing I come for in my romantic fantasy fanfic :( not to mention that for the ships I write, it would be out-of-character/I'm not interested in writing for scenarios where it might be in character.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Mmmmmmm I'll give you a freebie about a fic that I haven't posted yet: I'm planning to write a silly, stupid Pharma-centric fic in which he teaches sexual education to a class of MTOs. It'll feature a lot of valveplug worldbuilding, Autobot high command being very concerned about soldiers having safe/sane sex, and the MTOs behaving similarly to teenagers giggling about their teacher saying "spike" and other similarly immature antics.

Also, Pharma accidentally awakening a sexy doctor fetish in more than a few students.

🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?

Uploading prolifically is a good way to get more subscribers/kudos/comments if you feel that getting more attention is important to you, which I won't lie, is a validating part of starting out on AO3. People will be more likely to become a "fan" of yours if they notice that you're always uploading new fics/updating multichapters. It'll make it seem as if you're an active author who can be talked to, as opposed to posting one fic and then disappearing and people wonder if maybe you already left the fandom and aren't interested in writing more or talking about it.

I wouldn't worry about posting one-shots versus multichapters, or worrying about whether it's too short or too long. Frankly, I admire people who can regularly write things <1,000 words long because I always end up making stories really long even when I intend to be short lol. Just make sure that if it's a really, really long oneshot (like... there's not really a specific rule for this, but maybe 10k words? or if your oneshot has a lot of different scenes and a convoluted plot), split the oneshot into at least two chapters. Some people's browsers don't save which part of the page they stopped reading on if the tab reloads, and I've heard many people complain about fics that didn't have chapter breaks to make it easier to save their location or take a break while reading.

If you want to get popular, it's better to post things that make you happy/entertained and create a niche for yourself than it is for you to try and write the most popular pairings/tropes/etc. Or rather, I would say that having a unique niche with a small but dedicated audience is far more rewarding than trying to pander to popularity. I kind of feel like my more niche stuff may not have as LARGE numbers as the more popular stuff, but it seems to get more comments and detailed feedback than stuff like PWPs. And the more I post niche or very specific fics that are tailored specifically to my interests, the more people who ALSO have niche tastes come out of the woodwork and go "holy shit I didn't think anyone else liked this" and we end up becoming good friends! And maybe one day your niche takes will make people notice how passionate and well thought out they are, and you can start new trends in fanon and headcanoning!

Lots of Artem ssr card thoughts that evolves from analysis as to why i didn't like Artem (cough Atmospherics cough) to wait damn I enjoy most of his cards! (I am in fact Pro-Artem by the end of this, even if he is the last of my bias.)

As much as I dislike Artem's SSR card Atmospherics, his other ones Wandering Heart, Unusual Love, and Sunshine After the Rain have. Struck me. /pos

Maybe Artem is... good.

I know it can be annoying, to a degree, for MC and Artem to be oblivious or just very careful of boundaries. But considering the relationship dynamic is literally an authority imbalance (to a degree), i really appreciate that they are careful of each other. Also, Artem's gentleness to MC when, for instance, they accidentally walked in on him changing in Wandering Heart, he forgives them and reassures them that there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Its just really gentle and cautious, but soft and genuine. There's no intentional flirting to accidentally be read into. They are work partners, and they have that superior/subordinate relationship that they have to be aware of. Artem is also. The LAST of the four boys to abuse that. Not that any of them would (cough Marius wouldn't care about it TO A DEGREE cough) but its just really special to me that they chose this personality and these characteristics for Artem to handle it professionally.

Maybe thats part of why I hate Atmospherics so much. It was hyped up so much and then he's very drunk and being... physically... possessive? It made me uncomfortable and disappointed that there was no warning. Sure, a kabedon (spelling?) moment is nice but when its consensual. MC was not able to leave the apartment as he was sure they wouldn't be safe if they left. But I didnt feel safe around drunk!Artem. Its not sexy. His possessive and protectiveness would have been better in a different situation. The art is nice, but ultimately the card is driving by a story and standards that make me uncomfortable.

Before I read Atmospherics, I read Entwined Fate. I think that honestly may have been the card to put him in second place in my bias originally. I really like how sweet and cute that card is, the clear "strings" connecting MC and Artem, but also as on brand, the pair are oblivious or refusing to believe that the other may be romantically interested in them. Its really cute, and I love the art.

I've been catching up on reading SSR and SR cards that I haven't yet read (so I can make a rating post about them :) ), and have generally seen lots of pro-Artem stuff, so I once again gave him a shot in Unusual Love.

That is protectiveness I can get behind. Maybe because there's a real threat, maybe because its fake-dating-to-haha-jk-...unless? or maybe because he really just does want to show MC that he cares about them by gifting them the earrings- and then, in true Artem fashion, saying he AND Celestine are gifting the earrings. Its really just. So sweet. Also I love being spoiled.

Sunshine After the Rain will probably be my sucker spot for a little bit- the concept of being stuck in a hotel castle on an island... my favorite movie of all time being The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) isn't for nothing. That and the sweet moments of when he calls them as they're trying to have him rest (its vacation, dammit!) and then when he ties a string frOM HIS OWN SWEATER to each other's wrists to be able to pull if they feel nervous- still respecting privacy while reassuring that he's there for them. Gonna sob, gonna cry. For personal reasons, that's the sweetest thing someone's ever done for me at night to make me feel safe while I'm asleep but did it before I was asleep... anyway.

I don't personally care for Dreamful Melodies as I think I read it just for the illustrations and the s-chips? So I dont remember enjoying that story.

I have not yet Por Una Cabeza, but I have heard lots of good things about it. If he pulls a Vyn and teaches MC a dance, I will be quite pleased.

OH AND UUUUH FORGOT ABOUT Loving Memories !!! That card is SO cute. Its a little bland, maybe, as neither of them are very frightened by the haunted house, but the art is so freakin' sweet and its basically a fluff fic come to life. God bless. Love that card. HES SO SOFT AND CUTE IN THAT ONE.

Conclusion: damn maybe Artem is good.
