Pst I threw a couple things into my kofi shop incase anyone wanted to nab extras I have left from christmas stuff 👀

#I'm gonna open preorders for keychains and I guess for the body pillows so don't worry if stuff is out of stock #I'm not super into shipping the pillows out so I HOPE only like 5 people actually want one :^D #BUT I'm giving people the option to own one since I'm gonna be ordering one for myself anyway #ANYWAY shameless self plug bc I have stuff idk what to do with and I keep ending up with extras #merch stuff #man I don't wanna tag this but idk what people have in their blacklists to filter these out #maybe the link is good enough of a filter

hello mutuals & followers of monstrsball dot tumblr dot com... i bring you a survey. please take it. i'm so curious. (and bored)

#suga ship survey #<- i will probably share results as they come in. all posts will be tagged with that. #options are not necessarily all ships that i like... i'm trying to do this science thing right #i didn't actually put any poly ships down but there is an other option #i'll try to keep track of repeat ships under other #anyway. feel free to rb this if you want i guess #idk how long i'll have responses open... probably indefinitely

Made a Yi qi for $200 if anyone wants it before I put it on Etsy

#shipping included in the US #for sale #i spent all my money on vet bills and started making more little guys to funnel into the cat shaped hole in my finances #but now I just need some gas and food money so I guess I can rest a little #this is definitely the kind of thing I should make a separate post for but my digital art commissions are open now #while I'm hiding from the heat in the afternoons #I don't know if there's a lot of overlap between people who like my dino sculptures and people who want me to draw their dragon OC though

Hey, if anyone has some really good Espilver fic recommendations on ao3 you should like. Send me some. I'm trying to see the vision

finally got the inspiration to get my toxic yuri vampire noir original story rolling. if you hear a faint evil cackling in the distance, that's just me expressing joy over that fact

#I wrote the opening scene and somehow the vibes are exactly like the visual I have in my head #rare edith writing win #three guesses which insane gay ship I based it on though because I'm incapable of thinking of any other dynamic lately #my posts

Back to darker moodboards with me I guess; Here's one for my self ship with Toko Fukawa in Danganronpa UDG. Falling in love at the end of the world <3

#Emile's Edits #Toko #Proship Selfship #One of few self ships that really hit me in the Boyfriend heart #I like the word boyfriend enough but being someone's boyfriend isn't that big a deal to me most the time #But something about Toko calling me her Boyfriend really gets me #Jack calls me pretty boy but to Toko I'm her cute boyfriend <3 #Apocalypse ass aesthetic but that is the UDG vibe I guess #Took a LOT of self control to leave the Warriors of Hope out of this they're a big part of the Self Insert #and I mean they still are kiiiiiiinda there in the holding a kid image but kfdjgkdfj #It be like that #Still figuring out what to do next #Open to general ship moodboards and other's selfships for mutuals if anyone's interested #And of course my own self ships if anyone has any preference for those #Till then I'll just keep on vibing I guess

[tathrin]

do you ship barduil would you ever write it?

No and no. I don't have a problem with the ship—it's not a notp for me—I just don't ever feel any interest in it, either.

You have to remember I still haven't even seen the third Hobbit movie and I've only watched the first two once each, so the ~vibes~ that fuel most of the fandom's interest in ships that sprang from it just aren't applicable in my case, sorry.

But I don't think there's anything wrong with it as a ship, and I can understand the theory of its appeal as a concept. I get where "grim widower elf-king and grim widower human king who end up fighting a war together, with grim elf king saving grim human king's people both with food and force of arms, and then afterwards they learn to love again together" appeals to folks. That's a foundation that definitely makes sense. I just don't have any personal feelings for the relationship.

And "mildly approving apathy" isn't a great foundation for writing a ship upon, so no. No barduil writing likely here XD

#that said i feel similarly apathetic about bagginshield #and yet by the end of finally reading sansûkh i was very much rooting for them too #so let it not be said that a good enough writer/story couldn't get me to care about them within the context of that piece #but i doubt it's something i'll ever ship beyond the occasional hypothetical individual story #and that story would have to do all the heavy-lifting to build the ship on its own because there are no Movie Vibes in my head to rely upon #nor is it something i would ever seek out to read; it actually took me forEVER to read sansûkh despite seeing everyone rave about it #simply because of my complete non-interest in bagginshield #i actually finally only cracked that one open because i was curious about the dead dwarf memes i kept seeing lmao #i wasn't even necessarily intending to read the whole thing; just enough to get to the Funny Dwarf Ghost Parts #but THEN...well i assume you've read it by now because i'm pretty sure i'm the last person on the planet to finally read it #so you can guess how long i managed to stay uninvested in the story XD #shipping #hobbit movies #thranduil #bard the bowman #lotr #me #sansukh

Hey. So. There's this original character made by someone in the mugen community that i really really like (Read: I am interested in taking this original character out for a romantic dinner date.)

#oh the moral conflict of wanting to ship with someone's oc but also you are very aware people are like. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with that #<- which is totally fine! #i'll be open about what character it is but like. i won't actually ship with them. it's more of an infatuation thing i guess. #IDK man i just don't want to weird out the creator so i'm walking on the side with caution #hilariously the original character is an iori yagami edit what were you expecting #something something maybe i SHOULD play KOF memorial/KOF anthology #shallow rambles #m.u.g.e.n.posting

Anonymous asked: In the past few days I saw more people open to share their ship preferences for their muses, but most of the tiers (more like all of them) don't include Dainsleif yet. So question for the mun! what do you look for in order to ship? and if it's easy for you to respond, who would you ship Dainsleif with?

I hope you know what you're in for, nonnie— as this is going to be a ride that may contain some salt.

What I look for first and foremost when it comes to shipping is plausibility. Yes, I'm aware that some muns may go like "oh, I like this character so I'd like to ship them with my muse and see if that works" and that's perfectly fine. I am no different in having these thoughts myself, but 95% of the times I ignore them for other reasons that will be stated later. Dain himself is a complicated muse with unique circumstances and background. If the likelihood of him not interacting with a great part of the cast in ways that it becomes meaningful and under normal circumstances is high, you can imagine how it must be the case of shipping.

Which leads me to the next point: because of Dain's complications it is hard to build something with strong foundations that won't crumble at the earliest scenario of him not providing what's expected in a healthy relationship. He has many ghosts of his past and the present time, a mission that was given by someone else or self-imposed that goes above everything —even himself, as he clearly states that doesn't relish his solitude in Shenhe's miscellany or that he knows about the heartache of the Adepti in Xiao's miscellany, which clearly belies the fact that he's ignoring things he would've preferred for himself for the sake of a grander scheme than himself—, a great trauma of the past that intertwines with self-hatred and guilt. He won't accept easily that someone in the know of all these things would still choose him. There is the Abyss that can warp his senses even if he's done a great job for the past centuries in remaining sane. There is a curse that goes with a chronic physical pain and even more ghosts to add in his mind that exist or the abyssal factors of the curse will ingrain in his mind. And there is the possibility that the Sinner is part of said ghosts in his mind, given that he might be the one who narrates Dain's introduction based on Chinese word choices to say who the author is.

In order for a ship to work with him, the other part has to be aware of all these things and even so be willing to stay by his side —more metaphorically-speaking than personally, because they'll be in for long periods of absence from Dain's part alone and most certainly that other person will have their own responsibilities too—. I love to ship romantically as the next person as much as it looks like I'm adding layers and layers of difficulty to do that, but I don't want to step over key aspects of what makes Dain who he is just for the sake of shipping at risk of making it incredibly shallow and without substance. Because one of the things that I look for in a ship is also development: for every muse in particular and in a personal way and together as a pair.

This is why I'm terribly iffy about ships that not only erase Dain's autonomy, but also ignore completely his own principles for the sake of shipping such as Dainsleif / Kaeya when the latter goes the Abyss road and in all this design Dain is just someone who is there without any word in anything other than to serve. Yes, he was a knight that served royalty in Khaenri'ah. But he isn't some mindless puppet who would throw away everything he worked for or the honor of others who he believes is being walked over unfairly like, guess what, the Abyss Order does. And something in a similar vein happens with the ship of either Lumine or Aether as the Abyss counterpart of the Traveler and Dain in a romantic ship, only that I've seen worse here to the point where they would do with him as they please and treat him unkindly while ignoring completely that he's not only an intelligent individual with vast knowledge, but also strong whose power is indirectly praised by someone of the likes of Skirk.

The last thing I look for in a ship (but not any less important) is communication. Extensive communication with the mun. For one I like to build ships from the very beginning and see how they evolve over the course of time and events our muses are subjected. But I'm also aware that we're adults with responsibilities and priorities other than a hobby that might make this incompatible, and still the interest of creating a meaningful ship is there. Which is why, for me, communication is equally as important as the aforementioned points. If I can't talk with the mun, how am I going to know their feelings on what's happening as our muses progress? There is a void left in my chest at the thought that I can't gush about things that happen with my RP partner in question which I have encountered in the past when I was less experienced in RP and more driven to what the majority used to do— but it simply doesn't work with me. If we won't be able to do things from scratch in a linear way, I want to have the opportunity to talk to my partner and at least build it through extensive discussions. Later on we can always jump in various points of our muses' timeline to observe in IC ways how certain things go. But... communication is simply a must to me. And if I happen to not mesh well with the mun for whatever reason (but still not to the point where IC interactions becomes incompatible, as we can still do IC things without necessarily ever talk if that's how it works between us) or lack that chance to talk things through with them... as much as I hate to say it, I won't ship it no matter how compatible our muses are.

Lastly, and this will be complicated to say so I'll just stick to what I've found the most compatible with Dain to have solid examples. The most 1:1 character I've found that Dain can be compatible with in Genshin is Neuvillette, without a sliver of doubt. There are others that would work well and that I don't necessarily ship (although I wouldn't turn the other way if it were suggested to me) like Xiao. Another 1:1 character I've found compatible with Dain that hilariously is all the way in HSR is Blade.

[babblish]

absolutely no pressure to answer this, and this ask is only born of curiosity, but what was the 'sibling' peace you mentioned during ordership week?

(once again no pressure at all to answer, i know there's an..... amount of 💿🐴 (disk-horse) surrounding that whole topic haha)

I... I... Anon, if you're talking about my end note on the 🔞 art piece, by "sibling piece" I meant a diptych and to the best of my knowledge there's no discourse surrounding those, at least in fandom spaces.

Basically in the middle of the process of creating the first (and to date the only) piece I had this fanciful notion of using what I had already done and tweaking a few details resulting in two structurally similar but contextually distinct artworks. You know, in much the same way Observatory Musings B-side and A-side are sibling pieces, just in text in form.

😔I'm sorry for the english language if there has been some form of misunderstanding. It's after 1 am for me and there's a strong possibility I'm making a fool of myself, but in fairness I'm absolutely excellent at that at all hours of the day.

#fandom discourse #incest mention I guess??? #erring on the side of caution here jic #I rated this mature because I link back to the art in my response #anon I love you sorry about the tags to follow as I said it's after 1am and I am rambly and apparently hungry 😂 #food and alcohol mention in the tags #once again I feel like I've been out here handing out cucumber sandwiches to people who ordered jägermeister #I've nothing against jägermeister (some of my best friends drink jägermeister) #but it was the very first Event Picnic and I went with cucumber sandwiches because they're bland and appeal to most people #and while I did spice a couple up with hot english mustard they're still lets be real still just cucumber sandwiches #I won't lie this metaphor got away from me and now I'm just craving literal cucumber sandwiches and cough medicine that fucks up my meds #but this year for shipping week (assuming we have the time to hold it again) I wanna bring pork pies and whiskey #you know like ships I don't personally ship like skrelin bellgana douxari etc #not necessarily planned beforehand I want to roll the dice for them or something chance based #because I want to challenge myself this year as a writer #idk I'm open to suggestions #I'm going to bed now so have fun and be excellent to one another when I'm sleeping~

[gayopinion]

everyone's so used to everything being readily available i hate when people share something they've made and get pestered to produce it and sell it like clearly ppl saying that don't own small businesses or understand manufacturing at all like not everything that is created is done so with the intent to commodify it. and also, not everyone has to share what they make, it can JUST be for them. bye

#just came across this song run away to mars by TALK u should listen it's good right ok #but they wear these sick overalls in their video and tiktok comments are like do you sell these? you should!!! #because them and their gf make them #like. the logistical NIGHTMARE that would be buying supplies and handsewing overalls and then shipping them #they're clearly a musician not everyone makes something for the sole purpose of profiting off of it #it's one thing to make merch it's another to just have a handmade fashion line you sell as a side business ...... #and another thing i saw was a mom whose kid asked for a mario squishmellow which i guess doesn't exist #so they made one themselves for their kid and people were like can you sell these pls omg! #like idk guys i would imagine a mom with a young kid is probably busy and also just doesn't want to do that for multiple reasons. go away #also sometimes my friends will see my nail art and be like omg open up an etsy! like i am a full time college student. def do not have time #not the desire to....... i'm just making this stuff for Me thx tho #ALSO. in this economy? in this state? with the way customers act? bye.

Convinced that the people who act like it's so easy to find a good fic if you simply read the tags are either lying or have low standards.

#trying to read fics in a female character's tag #all of the ones i've opened have been a disappointment lol #oh while i was looking i saw a fic that had 1100 hits but 0 comments and 8 kudos #so i'm guessing a lot of hate reading was involved bc damn #(it involves a very unpopular ship) #personal
