Characters: Child Diluc and Kaeya, Crepus

Genre: Hurt comfort, gender neutral child reader, not canon compliant.

TW: Child abuse, emotional abuse, breaking glass, food shaming (just learned that’s a phrase)

A/n: I finally filled my first request! (I actually copy pasted the request here to save it. I heard of stuff disappearing, and I wanted to make sure I had it.) And yes, requests are open and details are in my bio. I’m sorry for how long it took, my organizational system sucks. Tws are pretty specific, but I think they’re common triggers? Idk. Mildly concerned that my most popular fic is about abuse. I hope you’re all taking care of yourselves.

You, Diluc and Kaeya were perched on the bridge to Mondstadt proper, throwing bread to the birds. They crowded around under the bridge, swimming around to catch the food. The wind was cooling as the sun set. It would be time to go home soon. 

"I need to go back." You sighed. “You know how they get.”

"Your guardian isn't very nice to you." Kaeya said abruptly. 

You froze. "It's not a big deal." 

"It is." Kaeya insisted.

"They're just tired." You tried to explain.

“So are you, and you’re not like that.” Kaeya pointed out.

"We could have a sleepover! Then you don't have to be with them and they get a break." Diluc suggested.

"It's too much trouble. I don't want to bother you." You sighed.

"You won't. Our father is very nice." Diluc said.

"He is." Kaeya agreed, nodding.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Diluc said.

You brightened. "OK! I'll ask my guardian." You discussed the details quickly before running back home. It was getting dark and you didn't want to get in trouble.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Your guardian's vice-like grip crushed your shoulder. It was possessive and made your skin crawl. They spoke in that fake-friendly voice they used in public. "Are you sure you want to deal with them?"

"It's no issue. From what I've seen they are a wonderful kid." Crepus said, a friendly smile on his face. "They're only staying the night, and the staff is used to kids."

"Not my kid. Can't do anything without messing up." They laughed. 

You felt your face flush. Not in front of him!, you wanted to scream. Mr. Ragnvindr was cool, you wanted to be like him when you grew up. You didn't want him to think you were useless. You kept your mouth shut though, even as tears stung your eyes.

Mr. Ragnvindr noticed your discomfort. "My own sons can be a handful too sometimes. They're still learning."

"Alright, but if they burn the house down don't say I didn't warn you." They laughed again, a cruelness undercutting it. It was harsh on your ears and it took everything to not flinch.

“We have a pyro vision in the house. It wouldn’t be the first time something caught fire.” He joked and he looked at you as he said it, trying to reassure you.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"Dinner’s spaghetti!" Diluc eagerly pulled you into the house. "The cooks make the best tomato sauce!"

The delicious smell greeted you as you walked in the door. Your mouth watered just thinking about how good it must taste. 

Kaeya had sat already, waving excitedly for you to sit next to him.

Crepus appeared holding three wine glasses in one hand and a bottle of grape juice in the other. "Welcome! Take a seat." He gestured to the seat next to Kaeya.

You did and Diluc sat on your other side. 

“Can I pour the juice?” He asked. 

“Of course.” Crepus handed him the bottle. 

You watched as Diluc uncorked it and poured it carefully into each cup, twisting the bottle after each pour. His brows furrowed in concentration as he did it. As soon as he finished he set down the bottle and looked for his father’s assessment.

“That’s my boy!” He smiled proudly. “You’ve learned so much. You’ll be a bartender in no time.”

You should be happy, but jealousy tugged at your heart. Why wasn’t your guardian like that?”

“Let’s eat!”

You dug in. The food was so warm and the pasta had the perfect bite to it. “Al dente’ or whatever Diluc had called it. You didn’t know how to describe food the way he did, but it was delicious. You scarfed down the whole plate in seconds. You froze, fork in hand. He was going to yell at you. You had eaten too fast, too greedily, and he was going to yell at you. Pig. 

But he didn’t. All he did was ask if you wanted seconds.

“Am I… allowed to?” You asked nervously, waiting for the rant about how greedy you were.

“Of course. Eat as much as you want. You need to eat so your body can grow. The boys eat enough for five men, it’s incredible.” He laughed. 

Adeline brought another bowl and whisked the empty one away. 

You ate slower this time and your eyes kept darting up to monitor Crepus’s face. He caught you once and just looked back sadly. 

“Are you enjoying your meal?” Diluc asked, a serious expression on his face. He was practicing his host etiquette.

You panicked slightly, your mouth was too full to talk. You swallowed quickly and nodded. “It’s really good.”

“Tell Adeline, it makes her really happy when Diluc and I like her food.” Kaeya added.

You nodded again. “I will.”

Dinner ended soon after. You made sure to thank Adeline when she came by again.

“It’s no problem. I’m glad you enjoyed your dinner.” She smiled sweetly. “Diluc, Kaeya, please collect the plates.”

“Can I help too?”

“Of course. Just stack the cups and put them at the head of the table.”

“Ok!” You did as you were told and collected all the cups. As you walked to the head of the table to put them down, you tripped. You caught yourself but the cups fell out of your hands and shattered on the wood floor. It was silent. Not for long, you thought, readying yourself. You fell to your knees and reached to pick up the shards of glass, trying to reduce the punishment.

“Y/n, stop!” Crepus’s loud voice broke the silence.

You did, fear freezing the blood in your veins. Tears pooled in your eyes and then slipped down your cheek. Apologies spilled from your lips. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I promise I didn’t mean too, please don’t be angry, I won’t do it again.” Your words were interrupted by your own sobs and sorries. 

Crepus carefully walked up to you and crouched at your level. “I’m not angry. I don’t want you to touch the glass because you’ll cut yourself.” “It was an accident, I swear, I’ll pay you back-”

“I know it is. You don’t have to pay anything.”

Kaeya’s cold hand rested on your shoulder and Diluc stood a little to the side.

“You know what, I’ll show you how little of a problem this is. We’ll clean it up together. Kaeya, Diluc, get the broom and dustpan from the pantry.”

“I can-”

“You don’t know where it is.” Diluc pointed out.

“My sons can handle this task, no need to worry. I’m just glad you caught yourself.”

You stared at him blankly, confused.

“It would have been worse if you got hurt instead of the glasses.”

“It… would?” 

A pained expression crossed his face. “Of course.”

“I’m sorry I made you sad.”

“I’m an adult, it’s not your job to worry about me.” He rested his hand on your head and started petting your hair when you didn’t flinch.

“We’re back!” Diluc held a broom in his hand while Kaeya held the dust pan.

“Thank you.” Crepus turned his attention back to you. “I’ll hold the dustpan and you’ll sweep the glass into it, ok?”

You nodded and Diluc passed you the broom. Your hands shook as you swept but you finished up quickly. “That’s all?”

“Yes, see? It’s not a big deal. Now who wants ice cream?”

Both boys raised their hands.

“And you?”

“Aren’t I being punished?”

“Of course not. What flavor do you want?”

“Cho-chocolate?”

“You got it!” Adeline appeared out of seemingly nowhere and took everyone’s orders.

Three little bowls of ice cream came out, each with beautiful little spoons. Chocolate, raspberry, strawberry. You ate yours, still sniffling from your tears earlier. 

“Do you want to taste some of mine?” Kaeya lifted a spoon of raspberry.

“If it’s alright…”

He plopped a spoonful into your bowl.

“Mine’s a little soupy, but you can still try.” Diluc poured a little of his ice cream soup next to Kaeya’s raspberry. His pyro had melted it.

You sniffed and rubbed at your eyes.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you sad.” Diluc panicked. “Is it because the ice creams mixed?”

“You’re so nice.” You sobbed.

Crepus put a hand on your shoulder. “It’s not hard to be nice to you, and even if it was, it would be worth it.”

[thelesbianpoirot]

Hello, I am not getting any younger and I want to jump back into the bleak lesbian dating world. Should I act like a normie to get a wife? Or should I looksmaxx and stay true to my lesbian separatist beliefs?

On one end I betray myself but on the other I’d have to do an uncomfortable amount of work to become more good looking. I don’t think women will care about my beliefs if I’m jacked.

What do you think?

Babe this is so real, people like to pretend gay women don't care about appearance and that every lesbi woman wants a low effort fat butch, but that is a BIG lie. Even gay women have preferences informed by society, few vary. So looksmaxxing will probably get you more women. I did get more attention my dating app pages when I dressed femme, but I didn't want to do that anymore, so I just get a good haircut, nice looking clothes, put stuff on my face so I don't have awful acne and take pictures in great lighting. If you can do a bit more, like working out, and buying a cool outfit or two, do it, but don't do shit you can't maintain because she'll leave you if you can't keep it up. I met a girl when I was 125 pounds, shaved and with long hair to my ass, and she did not want me when I gained 50 pounds due to health issues and buzz it all off. I have lost some of that weight, but I am definitely not 130 anymore. And I left her because I realized she didn't want me anymore, and I was not staying with someone who didn't want me after I recovered from an eating disorder. But I also don't blame her because you can't force yourself to get turned on by someone you are not. BEING JACKED HELPS A LOT but if you hate exercise, just focus on getting fit, basic walking more, stretching, eating greens, drinking water. But date while you're working on your body, so you know what the dating landscape looks like, so when you post those updated pictures, and the interactions flood in, you aren't too out of your element. SUMMARY: LOOK GOOD IN AN EASILY MAINTAINED WAY - hygienic, well-dressed, good haircut etc. It does help with dating a lot. But being an impossible to maintain transformation will never last and whatever relationship you gained because of your transformation also won't last. I don't start off relationships with strong feminist conversations, I like to slowly introduce my beliefs. You don't want to be preachy and annoying, but don't go too much against your beliefs. You'll hate being stuck with a woman who is your ideological opposite, so if you're looking for more than sex, I'll so be true to yourself, but don't bulldoze her down in conversations if she says something un-feminist, everyone has space to learn. I personally cannot date a someone heavily into trans identity, I have tried that, and I just grew to hate that person, because they would constantly try defend TIMS against any criticism, kept implying I was a trans man, and they just talked about nothing but childish things and gender. It was so cringe, I had to get out of there. Don't do that to yourself. But there is nothing wrong with not bringing up the scum manifesto to your date. Just talking about other things you might have in common before you delve too deep into specifics - books, movies, hobbies, sports. I put feminist in my bio, because I think if that dissuades any woman, she isn't my type at all. I also put "interested in sexual relationships with adult women" for the same reason. But I don't put "radical feminist aligned" because radical feminism has been given such bad press, that despite a woman agreeing with everyone of my beliefs, she might have preconceived notions implanted by anti-feminists and trans activists. Separatism is niche, not well known, so a potential woman might google it, and find some dumb article by an anti-feminist and think you're some weirdo extremist or something. Even if every time I have explained separatism to a woman, she has agreed sounds incredible. Slowly share more and more of yourself with people, don't excitedly dump all at once. It's just rude otherwise. SUMMARY: Don't try to ideologically trample normal women, but don't date your ideological opposite, people are more accepting of your beliefs after they have known you for a while.

Demon guy trying to tempt a badass nun darling?

Since being a nun isn't something that's gender neutral, I decided to make the reader a girl in this. If this wasn't what you were wanting, please feel free to PM me or send another ask and I'll do my best to make up for it! Also I'm not Catholic so if the stuff in this doesn't make sense... sorry :p

Torix Character Bio

TWs: Catholicism, implied stalking/general yandere behavior

-

It had been a long day. You’re tired. Your back aches and with each step you take, your knees creak and pop, sending pain through your entire body. You grit your teeth, hold onto your rosary tighter, and keep moving. As the lead exorcist of your region’s convent, it was your duty (and pleasure) to travel wherever you were called to and execute demons who were terrorizing, possessing, or otherwise harming the public.

It was endless work.

It was grueling work.

You loved it.

At last, you make it to your destination for the evening; a small village surrounded by a stone fence. As you walk through the gate, you take note of the absence of any trace of human life. Trash lays on the cobblestone roads, hens run freely, and a cat absently stares at you as you pass by. You walk to the center of the village. Wooden doors creak back and forth from the gentle breeze that rustles your habit. No one is in sight. You take it upon yourself to start investigating.

You had been called to this town just a day before by a traveler who’d heard of your expertise. He had stopped you four towns away and begged, on his hands and knees, for you to slay the demons plaguing his village. Of course, you’d accepted his pleas. You prayed for both his and your safety over a light meal, went your separate ways, and you awoke bright and early in the morning to make your journey.

When he was explaining the troubles his village was experiencing, you had assumed that the demonic infestation was light, or maybe even carried out by a singular demon; judging by the lack of families or even loners, let alone a priest tending to the local church, you now suspected that the demonic activity was a prolonged ordeal. You also suspected a strong, aged demon to be at the root of the infestation.

A cursory sweep of the village confirmed your suspicions; you are alone. You stand on the steps of the local church and review your notes. Aside from the few hens and single cat, animals seemed to have disappeared from the village as well. Curiously, you can’t identify any traces of demons or demonic activity; pentagrams are nowhere to be found, and without another human soul in the vicinity, you can’t diagnose a possession.

The sun begins to set. You look out at the village one last time before entering the church and closing the doors behind you. You discard your small bag and unpack it, setting up a space to eat, pray, and sleep within the sanctuary. You eat a small portion of bread, read the bible by candlelight, and hold your rosary to pray. Then, you sleep.

Later on, deep in the night, a booming voice startles you awake. You shoot up, scrambling to wrap yourself with your thin blanket. You look around anxiously, your heart beating and vision impaired. Finally, you spot the source of the voice; a thin man sits in the first row of pews within the nave. 

“Who are you?” You announce, projecting your voice with the authority your position provides you. “I’m Sister ______, lead exorcist of my convent. I’m sure you can gather my reason for being here.”

“I know who you are,” he tells you, staying still in his spot.

You wait for him to continue. He doesn’t. “How?”

“Oh, I’ve been watching you for weeks now,” he purrs, draping his arms against the back of the pew. “When I saw you, and what you were capable of…” he trails off and chuckles darkly, leaving you in suspense for a moment before he continues. “I just had to have you.”

“Explain yourself,” you demand, rising to stand. The blanket you used to cover yourself falls to the floor, leaving you in your night clothes; a nightgown and a thick pair of socks. Your habit, along with your rosary and the cross usually worn around your neck, sit in a neatly folded pile on the floor next to you. 

He laughs again. “What’s left to explain, Sister?” he teases, rising to stand. He’s still obscured by the lack of light within the church, but he’s incredibly tall. You watch his long hair move and fall behind his back. “You’re the region’s most accomplished exorcist… a nun with an impressive kill count. You’ve slayed almost 80 demons now, isn’t that right?”

You swallow the uneasiness slowly building in your stomach and stand your ground, raising your chin higher to maintain your posture. “Yes. Why does that concern you?”

“I wouldn’t call it a concern. It’s more of an interest,” he tells you.

“Are you seeking an apprenticeship?”

He laughs, loudly, and his voice echoes harshly off the walls of the sanctuary, causing you to flinch. “Hardly. I told you already. I have to have you.”

“Are you drunk? Surely, you know nuns are sworn to chastity,” you chastise him, annoyed and embarrassed at his forwardness. “Leave this church at once. Let me rest for the work I must complete tomorrow. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave his demon infested town for good.”

He laughs again. “Oh, Sister…” he begins to walk up the stairs to the sanctuary. You take a few steps back, distancing yourself from him. As he becomes more visible, you make out a pair of horns protruding from his head. “I’m not leaving without you.” Your heart drops and you feel the warmth drain from your face. A demon. He’d caught you completely off guard- without your weapons or even a cross to defend yourself. His pointed tail flicks back and forth as he approaches you. You pick up your speed and continue to step back, until you roughly bump into the altar. He’s on you in a flash, pinning you to it with both hands. His touch feels like fire. 

“And just like that, the mighty exorcist is pinned below the lowly demon,” he whispers, staring you down with deep red eyes. “How were you able to kill so many of my kind? Isolating and neutralizing you was child’s play.” Your breath hitches as he leans closer to your face. You can feel his hot breath against your skin. “I guess I was always better than the rest at seducing virgins.”

You spit in his face at the accusation, still determined to defend your commitment to chastity. “I’d hardly call this seduction, you evil beast! Get off of me!” 

He smiles down at you and slowly opens his mouth, releasing a long forked tongue. He flicks it up and easily licks the spit off of his face, then returns to a devious grin. “Don’t worry. You’ll experience the full benefits of my seduction in due time…” He reaches down to brush two fingers across your lips. “For now, you just get to relax.”

Fire overtakes your body. You’re warm- too warm, and you’ve lost complete control of your physical capabilities. You stand, not of your own volition, but as if you were a puppet. You slowly blink at the demon above you, who laughs lightly as he watches you succumb to whatever thrall he’s entranced you with.

Once he’s happy with your level of hypnosis, he releases his grip on your other wrist, and your arms float gently down to your sides. He watches you falter with the same devious grin he had as he leaned above you, eyeing you up and down as he takes a step back to admire his completed work. 

“Sister ______, lead exorcist of her convent, slayer of nearly 80 demons… now relegated to be by my side as my human companion.” He laughs loudly at his own proclamation. Outwardly, you show no response, but inside, your mind reels as you struggle to attempt to move and escape from him. Nothing you do works. No amount of praying or begging to God gives you an edge; you’re stuck like this. 

He takes hold of your hand and begins to lead you down the stairs of the sanctuary and out the doors of the church entirely; you follow along, feeling as if you’re floating on air with each step. What few possessions you have- your habit, rosary, bible, and cross- are left behind in the church. All you can do is watch the demon in front of you as he leads you further and further from the village, into the countryside and away from the world you knew and loved. “My name is Torix- and you belong to me now.”

[messier-47]

I have another story idea thats gonna be really short to explain i'll make it quick before i gotta make dinner

Modern!AU, everyone is early to mid twenties, future madatobi but the romance isn't the main focus, tw: cheating (but not with madatobi)

Madara and Hashirama are highschool sweethearts. They've been dating and happy for quite awhile, even moving in together upon finally leaving their parents household. The households of Senju and Uchiha are friendly, Izuna and Tobirama have stopped being rivals since getting out of highschool and thank goodness for that cause the prank war was getting ridiculous.

Tobirama and Madara aren't friends but more friendly aquantiences. Madara's world revolves around Hashirama and Tobirama is more interested in studying star clusters or bio diversity or perhaps mushrooms (so I can finally start studying mushrooms they're cool).

One day late a night, there's a rainstorm outside and Tobirama is burning the midnight oil studying for a test coming up when there's a knock on the door. Tobirama thinks it's really strange so close to midnight but answers the door, finding Madara there soaked to the bone, pale, kinda shellshocked and miserable looking.

"Can I stay here for a bit?" he asks quietly, "Hashirama is fucking someone else."

Couple things; tobirama and Madara are not friends. But he's also the closest friend/relative/someone from Mada's immediate circle from their...Hashirama's place. And even though Tobirama isn't exactly the most compassionate person, I would think that he'd still bring Madara in from the cold and try his best.

Timed shower, reheat take out, prepare some extra bedding on the couch, play a movie in the background, get out his last servings of ice cream Tobirama does everything but ask what happened that night. Madara is...going through the motions, his heart trying to understand where his mind is screaming denials but...

Distantly, he's surprised with how far Tobirama went to offer comfort though some distance was understandable cause they weren't that close and he's utterly relieved that the Senju isn't trying to nag for any details just like what Izuna would have done (and secretly, perhaps that was another reason why he sought out Tobirama). After a couple hours it comes out:

Madara had been away but a canceled event had Madara coming home early to find a pair of heels in the entry of...what used to be their shared home. He finds Hashirama in bed with a red haired woman. He was such in a state of shock and betrayal that he couldn't even react properly with anger. Just...leaving the house quietly without even his shoes. He must had been wandering for 30 minutes before he even thought to get out of the rain which found him here, in tobirama's apartment, the closest safe space he thought of.

Tobirama intakes all of this, asks if Madara wanted to call anyone, "your mother for example?" and in the end welcomes Madara to stay the night and take as much time as he needs to process in the safety of his apartment. It's late, they both need to go to bed.

There wasn't much sleeping that night. Madara's heart finally decided to break and Tobirama was too busy on planning what to do next.

Morning comes and tobirama kinda steals Madara's phone for a bit to put it on silent cause Hashirama finally noticed that an extra pair of shoes and suitcase was left in the doorway. He ignores his own phone which had started to ring and goes out to get a quick McDonald's breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Comes back to a miserable Madara just barely waking up.

Tobirama lays out a few options Madara can take immediately: he could continue to hide out in Tobirama's apartment, could call Izuna to go over to his brother's place, call his mother to go back to the parents house, or go back and start a fight with Hashirama. At first Madara is a little confused cause he thought for a second that Tobirama would have told hashirama Mada's whereabouts but apparently not.

Mada wants to go back to his mother's place, bemoaning that he could never step foot in that house because it's tainted and he's losing so much of his stuff.

Tobirama immediately gets everything prepared, tells Madara not to worry and once breakfast is eaten, escorts Madara straight to the Uchiha household. Mada is immediately comforted and starts to mourn anew in the arms of his mama.

Late in the evening the doorbell rings to reveal Tobirama with a whole bunch of other people toting boxes and totes of his stuff from the other apartment. The story is soon shared: Tobirama immediately went home so that he could start calling and organizing people and his friends to help get Mada's shit out. And these aren't just his nerd friends they're his gym friends and people who do sports and he tutors them, people that can't be pushed around. They go over to Hashirama's apartment and pretty much bully their way inside "burglarizing" only Madara's half of the apartment.

Hashirama confronts them cause he's now in hysterics; Madara isn't answering his calls and Tobirama hasn't either all of a sudden a whole bunch of people show up at his home and he has no clue what's going on (he has a sinking feeling he does) and Tobirama is the one to tell him the truth. Madara caught Hashirama cheating and had gone to Tobirama. Mada is now in a safer place away from Hashirama and Tobirama is just doing his duty as a decent human being to helping someone move out of their cheating ex's house.

Hashirama does get punched in the face.

[it'll later turn out that Hashirama had been planning to draw in both Madara and Mito into a polyamorous relationship cause he was in love with both but he told neither of the other, wanting to later manipulate a casual meeting between the two and introduce the notion of polyamory later.]{Madara is further betrayed by this because he isn't the type to share. So even if polyamory was introduced -in a rather shitty fashion- he would have said no}

As the story continues, Madara will again and again use Tobirama's apartment as a sort of same space from Hashirama, nagging Izuna after he hears about all of this, and the sympathetic coddling of his mother. Nothing romantically inclined happens between the two. I want them to get closer as friends (Tobirama needs to learn how to cuddle) and the Hurt/Comfort is strong. It's all meant to be platonic, two people learning how to care for each other when put under pressure. Maybe Hashirama shows up at Tobirama's apartment to beg Madara to come back only to get punched in the face once again.

A friend suggested that the care could later be recipricated. Madara having now found a new place to stay and his heart may be bruised he's healing. Now enters Tobirama who's developing really bad study habits until one day he faints from malnutrition, stress, and sleep deprivation. Que Madara to the rescue after Tobirama goes home, wanting to play sexy nurse (or not so sexy tobirama looks ill) to pay back the time when Tobirama offered comfort and safety without question.

Oooooooo maybe Tobirama is kinda delirious from whatever drugs they got on him and he chuckles out, "in sickness and in health?" before falling asleep, unaware that Madara's heart went DOKI-FUCKING-DOKI from the gay as hell WEDDING VOWS he just casually murmured.

What are your ideas on what Anne did in between leaving Amphibia and becoming a herpetologist?

oh god never try to answer long asks on mobile i had so many words typed of this and then i saw a rainbow and took a picture of it and when i went back to the tumblr app it was gone 😭 anyway this is a rly cute question here are some ideas (got long so i put it under a readmore)

she gets a new phone since she gave her previous one to sprig. only the old phonecase she has isn't made for her new model of phone. she finds a similar, cat-themed case but, ugh. it just isn't the same.

she joins her school's basketball team. she still plays tennis of course, but she also likes doing a team sport.

she also tries out fencing, but soon tires of it once she realizes that it's forbidden to fight dirty.

she and sasha start dating a little while after marcy leaves. they're together for less than a year when sasha starts to get worried that they might be getting too codependent and that some space could be good for them. anne agrees under the assumption that they'll get back together sooner rather than later, but in high school sasha gets a serious boyfriend. anne is extremely conflicted by this development, and starts distancing herself from sasha. they still talk and hang out and have sleepovers, and they always hang out with marcy whenever she comes to LA, but they're not as close as they once were. sasha just assumes that anne is busy with her other friends and doesn't overthink it.

her high school is way bigger than her middle school, and anne makes lots of new friends very quickly. some of them are also into amphibians, and they go to the woods together to look for frogs.

she gets really into baking, and starts making desserts for her family's restaurant. they're really good. some people come just for the desserts.

she starts applying herself more in school, and realizes that she actually really enjoys science. she even likes physics, despite the fact that it involves math and she sucks at math.

terri offers to tutor her in physics, but they barely work on homework together, and mostly just talk theory and philosophy. anne is fascinated by it, and thinks that maybe if they discussed this in class instead of kinematics she wouldn't be falling asleep all the damn time.

whenever anne is struggling with her schoolwork, she calls up marcy and has her walk her through it. marcy will always drop everything she's doing to help anne with her assignments. one time marcy stopped in the middle of making out with a girl to explain anne's math homework to her. that really killed the mood.

anne briefly considers applying to harvard, and uses this as an excuse to go to massachussetts to visit marcy. she knows not so deep down that she wants to be close to her family, and also that harvard is pure evil, but it's a fun notion to entertain for the sake of spending a very fun week with her oldest friend.

after sasha gets herself a boyfriend (who is anne's mortal enemy for reasons unclear), anne is determined to get a girlfriend. this shouldn't even be too difficult, considering that a few of anne's friends have crushes on her. but after a few failed kisses in which it's evident to all parties involved that anne feels nothing romantic for them, anne decides to give up. it's only in college (once she no longer sees sasha on a daily basis, funny that...) that anne enters a serious relationship. they're together for three years, but break up when her gf gets a job offer in florida (she's also a herpetologist) and decide that long distance isn't for them. they stay friends and still text all the time though.

she majors in bio of course, but she minors in film studies. anne has always loved cinema, and being in LA, her college offers a lot of really great courses in the subject. she even works at a movie theater for a couple summers, which her friends love because it means she can take them to go see movies for free.

she gets a tattoo of a lilypad on her wrist (where she broke her hand the first time she defended wartwood) and a lotus on the small of her back (where marcy and sasha have their scars). they're tastefully done, and mean a lot to her.

when domino dies, anne holds a funeral, and all her closest friends come, including sasha. she delivers a eulogy and then they watch her favorite movies on the couch while eating ice cream. the boonchuys wear all black for weeks. they loved that cat more than life itself.

she gets a tattoo of a domino on her other wrist.

okay i didn't want to end on a sad one so: anne asks sasha to go see love choice 3: the choicening with her. they haven't talked in a while, so sasha is surprised when anne asks her, but anne tells her that there's no one else with whom she'd rather see the final installment of the best series that totally isn't a ripoff of twilight and the hunger games ever.

they get a big bucket of popcorn and red and blue slushees (respectively). afterwards, anne remarks that she thinks the main girl should end up with cyborg guy's sister who was introduced in the second movie. sasha's like "wow you are literally too gay to appreciate these movies" and anne's like "you're saying that like you're not gay" and sasha's like "im bi" and anne's like "yeah sure whatever."

as they leave the theater sasha's like "you know, if marcy were here, she'd criticize this movie for its commercialism, lack of originality, and promotion of shallow love narratives invented by the patriarchy." anne's just glares at her like, "yeah, so it's a GOOD THING MARCY ISN'T HERE."

i have this thing that happens where I'm not quite big but m not quite small either, and sometimes when i talk stuff comes out funny like it does when I'm little like the babbling n the baby talk, and I don't really understand a lot of stuff, but i'm still big and can do things that i need to take care of. it's like a weird limbo space that's involuntary and i kinda get stuck there for a really long time and i'm not really sure what it means

idk how long you've been in the agere community or anything but i figured from your blog you might have some advice? its totally cool if not, i just figured its better to ask and maybe get some advice than to not try at all? sorry if this is annoying, feel free to ignore it.

Hey there anon! Thank you so so much for reaching out with this! I do want to start by saying I'm not a professional by any means when it comes to this stuff- I started involuntarily regressing when I was maybe around 14 years old, so 6/7 years ago, however I've honestly only recently become more familiar with some of the more elaborate parts of regression/dreaming. I might be able to offer some suggestions, but you should also try exploring some other sources for info on your own when you feel big enough! Please also remember that regression/dreaming is a little different for everyone, and this is all based strictly on personal experience and knowledge. If I mess up with wording or if i dont properly explain something, please feel free to leave a kindly worded comment or send a private message and I'll make any changes needed!! Like i always say, there are no wrong ways to regress as long as you are being sfw and using the time to heal however you need.

Regression/Dreaming happens for different reasons for everyone. I plan to make a longer post on different types of littles at some point soon, but I do want to mention a few things that could be occurring that maybe you could look into!

Recently I've been learning a lot about Middle Space, because I think I've been having similar-ish "symptoms" (for lack of a better word?). Middle space is a form of regression that isn't quite child-aged but is still a regression from your bio age. It's a different age group, ranging from beginning of teen years to only a few years regressed from your bio age. For myself, I think I find myself in a middle-age range of 10-15, where I'm fully functional with things but I feel like I still find myself behaving in more childish ways. I enjoy taking care of Star and others when I'm in a middle space because it feels almost like playing house! It happens to me involuntarily and for long periods of time, and I do believe mine is related to the amount of trauma I endured at such a developmentally important age.

Its also possible that your regression could be splitting itself between ages as a way to heal from related traumas as well. Depending on what your regression stems from, there may be multiple trauma points from your past that need resolution, or your voluntary regression age might be different from your involuntarily age! It could be a good time when you're in this space to try and figure out what caused you to feel this way, if anything did. Maybe you had a conversation with someone that might have triggered it, or even a familiar smell/texture/taste can sometimes do it. If you can try and place your involuntary regression triggeres, it might help you figure out why it's happening!

Another possibility is that you haven't been taking enough time to be little recently. Sometimes if you've been busy, it's hard to take time to bring yourself into a full little space. Having half-regressions happen involuntarily could be a sign that you need to take better care of your regressed self's needs. Maybe try and find some time in your schedule to color or enjoy your favorite little show, and show your inner child some love! Regressing is healthy, and necessary for some people! Don't neglect taking care of yourself just because it seems less important than Big world activities, because sometimes it's actually even more so!

My last thought is actually really simple compared to the others, and that's the fact that regressing is different for everyone! Maybe yours could be evolving from how it was simply because that's just what happens as we biologically age! Just like our tastebuds, our regression can change over time and evolve with what we need. The most important part of this change is just acknowledging it, just taking time to understand your own regression can be a big help!

I'm going to make another post hopefully soon about different types of regressions, but again I'm not even close to a professional on these things so please always double check me if anything seems wrong! I hope this list can help you start to identify whatever it is that's causing you to involuntarily regress. Always remember, there is no right or wrong way to regress, as long as you're being safe and kind. You deserve love and kindness and healing, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with regression.

Pippi Saturn 💕

Hi, just read your bio and curious what being anti-gender ideology means to you? I’ve never heard that in connection with being pro LGBT, and the internet has a lot of mixed information.

Hiya laneans. Polite questions that make me think are always good to see.

Pro LGBT means I'm for gay rights. To be specific, I'm right behind consenting adults of the same sex being able to have romantic relationships, free from discrimination.

And yes. I do include the T. It's still only recently that being transgender meant something both specific and objective (listen to the experiences of an elder like Buck Angel, for example.)

Being trans was linked inextricably with biological reality and the diagnosis of a mental illness.

I support the right of people with gender dysphoria to live as members of the opposite sex, for the relief of their symptoms. And free from discrimination.

Anti Gender Ideology. You may have gathered. I respect biology and sex based rights.

Gender Ideology probably isn't a technical term. But it does describe the people who treat womanhood and manhood simply as something that one can choose to be. In other words Self ID, gender above sex.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not against gender non conformity. In fact being for that is a big part of this.

I don't understand how anyone (outside of the symptoms of gender dysphoria) can say that they don't 'feel like' a man or a woman.

A female woman can be feminine, masculine or androgynous, however feels best to her.

A man can be masculine, feminine or androgynous, however feels best to him.

Absolutely some people are bona fide transgender/transsexual and need to live as the opposite sex. I want them free to do this in safety.

But I look at how many detransition stories are coming out. And something is going wrong.

Apparently body dismorphia can come with other reasons than gender dysphoria. And it seems as though too many people are being pushed to transition, when they don't need to do so.

I will treat a trans woman as a fellow woman. But is she female? Will she ever be female? No! And if she has gender dysphoria, then her being male is at the very heart of it. (I've listened to both trans women and trans men explaining these things.)

A trans woman is a trans woman. And I don't see that as her being 'lesser than'. But she isn't exactly the same as I am. And I won't pretend otherwise. She's male, I'm female.

A trans man is a trans man. He's female, so he's not exactly the same as a male man. I won't say that 'men get periods too'. Because they don't! Trans men can do, because they're female.

I won't condemn a lesbian who won't have sex with a trans woman. Because she is same SEX attracted, not simply same gender.

If a lesbian is happy to be with a trans woman because they're the same gender. Well that's up to her. But Same Sex Attraction is something that people are still fighting for in some parts of the world. And I won't take that lightly.

Then there are single sex spaces. No. I'm not a TERF. I don't say that no trans woman should be in women's spaces.

Because that would be unfair. But we need to have gatekeeping.

We can't just let a male person say 'I'm a woman ' and let that be enough.

Gender dysphoria is a solid, objective reason for a male to be living as a woman. And I'm OK with that.

But we're back to Self ID and it's not a matter of saying that trans women are dangerous. I disagree with that whole heartedly.

The vast majority won't be. BUT without gatekeeping, what do we do to stop violent criminals (and it has been happening) from simply saying 'I'm a woman', in order to access women only spaces, with some deeply vulnerable potential victims?

I don't just think it's bad for women. But I also think it spits in the eye of genuine trans women and trans men too.

Wow! I rather went on a bit there, didn't I? But you asked a great question and I wanted to do it justice.

Love and Hugs to you.

Well, if one of my goals this year is to try to sort out my gender further, let's at least start with my current ideas.

Definition

I'd previously tried to define what a gender even is to me, (https://clockworksteel.tumblr.com/post/695061189249712128/i-guess-part-of-why-im-so-unsure-of-my-own-gender) over a year ago, but missed one important point when I said "If I had to try to define gender, I’d say it’s an analogy for what someone is like." That is, I didn't mention that my understanding of analogies is that they're good at explaining a limited part of something, but are never literally the thing. As is said in software development, "all abstractions are leaky abstractions".

That is, as soon as you get outside of what's intended by bringing up the analogy, it ceases to be useful. The bus analogy in Super Mario Bros speedrunning is great for explaining "frame rules" which result from code that takes a player to the next level every multiple of 12 frames if the current level has been beaten, and make it the case that going faster in a level only helps the end time if a player can catch the next earlier frame rule, like catching an earlier bus. The bus analogy in Super Mario Bros speedrunning is bad for explaining that frame rules aren't randomly late or early, and that there's no other way to move to the next level so you have to wait (there's no 'car' of going to the next level because you're not just trying to traverse physical space). Computer code isn't a bus so it will be unlike a bus in some ways.

Similarly, the analogy of "what if you had to pay spoons to do things?" is great for explaining that there is a lasting loss of energy that is just as permanent (at least for the day) as giving up a physical object. You might even be able to extend the analogy by thinking about spoons dropping out of pockets sometimes or something like might happen with a physical object you're carrying more than 10 of. It's less good for explaining that you can't just buy more energy whenever you run out.

So I'm still at "A gender is whatever someone intends it to be". It might include one's aesthetic, one's personality, one's role in a relationship, or none of those things. However, people aren't personifications of words, so something will always be missing even if the most fitting gender possible is chosen. This way of looking at things can provide useful results in separating gender from sex and in understanding that xenogenders mean something. However, this way of thinking definitely has some limits and is also certainly not how everyone looks at it. It's simply my best attempt for myself. The biggest limitation at the moment is that using it for my own gender would require already knowing exactly what I want to express. It doesn't provide any sort of framework for experimentation or enough of a theory to make predictions.

I'm not exactly sure how to resolve all that, but it's my understanding not everyone needs to define gender to determine theirs.

"Masks"

Stepping away from definitions for a moment, because they're not doing anything useful, I remembered seeing the idea that trying genders is like trying masks, and thought that it might help to take inventory of my "masks". Though I personify these in the descriptions a little, to be clear, I'm not a system. Also, I've never actually gone by half these names.

"Joseph": the default male/AGAB mask. It's still useful but isn't exactly fun. Physically presents in casual clothes with little care put into appearance, and will wear formal clothes when necessary but doesn't like it.

"Clyceer" and other internet names: The gamer mask. They/them or he/him pronouns (some bios only list they/them, but it's inconsistent and the changes were generally done quietly so he/him is still accepted). Borrows a physical form from the previous active mask but would prefer not to have one. Simply plays games and is cool while doing it (ideally). Can be rather cold to things that aren't real people, but won't really go out of their way to be mean to fictional beings either.

"Alice": The feminine mask. Used privately from Sept 2022 to Nov 2022. I felt more motivated with this one, but it seems to require more belief in possibility than I've had for a long time. Her ideal self is probably being the stereotypical healer in a fantasy world: not necessarily in the spotlight, but useful and kind. It feels like with this one appearance is more important, but the ideal is also unreachable while maintaining the other masks. For one, she's afraid that, as the head of household, there could be a rather awkward encounter if someone were to come to the door. Would like a couple more dresses, a purse, and a necklace anyway, though. Also really misses having hair long enough for hair clips, but mom wanted to cut it while I was visiting for Christmas and decided on a buzz cut in the dead of winter.

"Kayra": A gender neutral mask that may have been an attempt at making "Alice" not require as much belief in possibility. Tries to be a little feminine, but isn't willing to take things quite as far. Frequently wears a grey t-shirt dress with sweat pants, but not the flower-print lounge dress.

Other Notes

I've also been writing any notable gender-related thoughts/events I've had over the last month and kept them with my new year's goal notes. I don't think I'll share them all publicly (interested mutuals who have me on Discord can ask there), but here are a couple: -Jan 17: Remarked to someone that, while I have a lot of dreams where I get anxious about my parents finding out I have dresses, I don't have many about just enjoying gender. That does match my experience in real life though: Haven't been a gender enjoyer lately. -Jan 24: Thought that my trans situation is kinda like playing Murder Trivia Party and you know the answer but don't have the finger that lets you choose it anymore, so I'm just going with the closest option I can still choose in case I was wrong anyway. I've never even played Murder Trivia Party. Not entirely sure why the situation feels like that.

Maybe what I need now is to RP another lady. And to voice train in case the RP group ever does a voice call.

Can anyone tell me why tf people put pics on their tinder of them with kids, and then in their bio have to say "kid is my niece/nephew" or whatever? Like just don't have a pic on your tinder of you with someone else's kid if you don't want people to think you have any??

#why would you want to have a pic on your tinder profile with someone else's child #kinda weird #just so they can take up space in their bio to explain that it isn't theirs #big dumb #like just save the explanation and any confusion by not putting up the pic lmao #please someone tell me what is the point

Dads collected 2/? 👀👀 How many dads is this child gonna collect??

Oh so when Raz wanders around HQ collecting new parent figures like pokemon it's okay, but when BOBBY does it-

(I'm so glad someone noticed that and decided to ask about it. 8) I did it on purpose.)

It's actually not quite the same as how Raz collects parent figures, though. Allow me to elaborate! Warning: wall-o-text, since I need to start from the beginning here somewhat.

So! Bobby doesn't remember his mom, but he's heard about her from Loboto. Stories of wanting to "cure" his emergent powers as an infant, with talk of hospital visits and icepicks and... Also how the name "Bobby" was her idea, but it's not like a perfectly good name makes up for wanting to scramble a baby's brains with an icepick so he can't pick up toys with his brain anymore!

Bobby is vaguely aware his dad went through something similar as a kid (further confirmed when he overhears Loboto and Otto discussing the differing situations behind their respective incidents*, and how Loboto could maybe regain full access to his powers with the aid of a psi focusing device like Otto's eye medallion). As far as he knows, his mother is still out there, and he is absolutely fucking terrified of encountering her. He's run away from foster/care homes and broken his dad out of asylums in the past because he was afraid that CPS might find his mother and give her custody - sure, icepick lobotomies are supposed to be illegal now, but so is performing dentistry and brain removal without a licence, and Loboto isn't the only dodgy scientist out there!

But like I said at the end of this other AU lore post, she didn't actually exist. It takes Chloe, Dogen and Norma taking a legally dubious trip into Bobby's mind for Bobby to remember that far back and be like "Wait... There was never any mom??... which I guess makes sense because dad is trans**... But WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE MAKE UP A WHOLE ASS ABUSIVE PARENT LIKE THAT", which is only slightly more pressing a question than the much more straightforward "BUT WHO'S MY OTHER BIO DAD THO????",

Meanwhile, Loboto is blissfully unaware of the impending domino chain of people he cares about being very upset at him. To quote Cecil WTNV, all at once, the consequences...

(I mean, his motivations for much of it were at least sort of understandable, although morally dubious as fuck and still not exactly justified. Aside from storing [REDACTED]*** in the equipment storage space that Otto has been letting him use for years. That was just an unfortunate coincidence, since as far as Loboto knew at the time, [ALSO REDACTED].)

*Otto's family were in fact supportive of him and his powers! The private school he attended as a child, not so much. There was a lot of legal trouble involved in the aftermath, and led Otto to seek out a means of reconnecting to his powers, which led him to his interest in developing psychic technology.

So, to answer your original question: There are least three dads!

**Yes, Bobby should have probably considered this possibility sooner, but also Bobby is kind of a fuckin bonehead sometimes, so he didn't.

***I'm trying to keep some form of narrative flow to how I reveal stuff in these AU posts, which would involve explaining just how/why Dogen, Chloe and Norma found themselves nosing around in Bobby's mind in the first place. (I also have a rough idea for how it looks in there I can infodump about, if anyone is interested!)

A little guide on ao3 (by an ao3 user and writer)

Friendly reminder for mobile users! Ao3 is a website. It doesn't have (as far as im concerned) an official app for mobile, so better get comfy with using crome on your phone.

Some video links ill leave for people who prefer video and audio:

- navigating the fanfiction sites

- popular fandom terminology part 1 and part 2

- shipping etiquette

i really reccomend coley's videos if you want to get to know more fandoms, or get an inside look to how some stuff works. There also might be more vids about fandom's and fan works, so don't hesitate to look through some of her stuff!

the explaining under the 'read more' ao mutuals wont kill me :)

(also tagging @ethanesimp since they asked for this advice )

So, what is Ao3 really?

Ao3 is a website made by fans for fans. There are no ads, and all content is free on Ao3. Anyone can post (with some age restrictions) and they can post anything.

How can I browse Ao3?

Ao3 does not require an account to view stories. You can easily browse as an anonymous user. You just are not able to view certain works, as creators have the ability to show their works to registered users only. Some cases, commenting is possible while anonymous, but again, it's up to the creator of the work.

If you want to be a creator and share works, you need an account.

An account also gives you the ability to bookmark works, so you can re-visit them, mark works for later, keeps a history of the works you've visited and allows you to favourite tags.

How do I get an Ao3 account?

When you first open the site, it gives you the option to "Get Invited". An invitation will be sent to your email anywhere from 24hrs later to a week later, depending on the amount of people in the automated queue.

After the invitation, you are able to set up your account like any other social media account. Pick a username, pseuds (name), description and bio. You can have a profile picture as well.

How do I navigate the site?

There are few ways to do so efficiently, but there's countless of ways you can experiment with to find which is more comfortable.

1st option: As the website loads, you can go to the 'Fandoms' tag.

Then, after clicking on it, this column appears. Through there, you can pick which media your fandom is from and from there, browse the huge list of different fandoms until you spot your own.

The list is in alphabetical order, so if your fandom begins with an "C", it shouldn't be too far down.

2nd option: At the top right, under your profile, and the options 'Post' and 'Log Out' should be a white oval search bar.

(im using my own account for demonstration)

When searching, there are many ways to work around it.

Personally, I press search as it is. It will lead you to a page where all the fanworks of the site are listed. (i believe its easiest, but always feel free to experiment)

From there, you press the 'Edit Your Search' button, located near the top right.

It will then lead you to a page with multiple fields.

Don't panic when you see all the fields. Only half those are of interest when you want to browse works for a fandom.

The most important ones are those under the Field name 'Work Tags'

Whatever you select under this field will be included in the works the site presents you with.

What are the work tags? What do they do?

Lets go through the options.

Fandom(s): when typing on this option, multiple fandom names will autofill in a list under the white space. If your fandom shows up, you can just click on it.

example:

From there, you can select the fandom you want to see works from. If your fandom doesn't show up, it can mean one of two things:

-there are no works for it

-it isn't popular enough to be picked up by the algorithm

After selecting one fandom, you can select another fandom, or more, to see works that are crossovers over universes.

Ratings: Ratings are selected by author. It defines the level of maturity it has in the work

- General audiences is the tag you want to use when nothing bad happens in the work. No swearing, no sexual activities, no violence or gore. It wont contain scenes that minors are not allowed to see.

- Teen and up audiences is the tag used for most works on the site. It is what would be used when you have mentions of/vague sexual content or violence. Normally, the most extreme stuff on there is excessive swearing, heavy angst and hurt/comfort with no excessive details

- Mature is the tag that is for 18+. It is mostly filled with one of following : Violence, Sexual Content, Ab*se, R@pe, Death and SH.

Reader descretion is advised by looking at the additional tags the author has provided, especially for those with triggers.

- Explicit is like Mature, but contains more graphic content. Works rated explicit mostly fall under the 'Graphic depictions of sexual content', 'Graphic depictions of Violence and Gore' or 'Graphic depictions of Ab*se, R@pe, or Self H*rm

Reader descretion is advised, stronger than mature, since it can be much more triggering. The works are scarily detailed sometimes.

- Not rated: the author has not given this work a rating because none of the other ratings fit the work. Pay special attention to the tags.

Warnings: Also known as Archive warnings by older users. The trigger warnings of Ao3. There are 6 archive warnings:

-Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings: The author didn't use the warnings, either because none of them fit the work's theme and warnings, or to avoid spoiling the story. Pay attention to the tags for any warnings.

-Graphic Depictions Of Violence: It is pretty self explanatory. Can contain any sort of violence, from wars, to simple fights, to ab*se of any kind. Can and often contain death. The type of violence is in the tags.

-Major Character Death: A main character in the story will die in this work. Pay attention to the tags always. The name of the character will be mentioned, as well as the way they die.

-No Archive Warnings Apply: None of the warnings apply. It is most times a perfectly safe work. Check the tags to make sure though!

-R@pe/Non-Con: The work contains non-consensual activities. Ranges from non-consensua sex to non-consensual use and ab*se of substances. Very close attention to the tags!

-Underage: The main character(s) in this work are underage/minors. This is normally tagged along sexual content so be aware and pay close attention to the tags!

Categories: This regards the relationships in the work:

- M/M, or better known as mlm or a relationship between two non-woment (men mostly, can include characters under the non-binary umbrella)

- M/F, a heterosexual relationship (is inclusive of trans characters too!)

- F/F, or wlw, or a relationship between two non-men (women mostly, can include characters under the non-binary umbrella)

- Gen, no sexual or romantic relationships are in this work, or if there are any, they arent of main focus.

- Multi: Polyamorous relationships, or multiple relationships are included in this work (this is also where threesomes+ are tagged in sometimes)

- Other relationships: One of the two people in the relationship is non-human (mostly), or the relationships are platonic/family.

Characters: The characters you want to be included in the story. This works just like the 'Fandom' filter, so the same things apply. You can tag as many characters as desirable.

Relationships: The relationships that you want present in the work. This includes both major and minor relationships. It can also include ended relationships (tagged Past x/y) and implied/referenced relationships. This works just like the Characters and Fandom filter.

Additional Tags: These are things the author has included to give potential readers an insight to the story. 'Angst', 'Fluff' and 'Smut' are additional tags. Works like the Relationships filter, so all same applies.

Is there anything I have to avoid/ I should avoid?

There is this very infamous tag, 'Dead Dove: Do not eat.' This tag is a warining to readers that the things in the work are really messed up, and can include anything illegal in it. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE REST OF THE TAGS IF YOU STILL ARE INTERESTED.

How else can I filter works?

You can choose how they are:

sorted (Titles, Authors, Hits, Kudos, Comments, Bookmarks, and Best Match)

the word count (from 1 word to millions)

the language (most are on there)

the amount of chapters

if the work is complete of not

when it last updated/when was posted

and if there are crossovers.

These are all options that author has to include, and therefore you can sort freely. Most are bulletin options you can click on.

What if I want to find a specific work?

If you happen to know one of these: Author, Title, Fandom or Rating, you will find it. If you were reccomended one, it's better to ask for the author or the title, to make looking for it easier.

Can I find a specific author/ user?

People search is for finding users on the site

Bookmark search helps you look through other people's public bookmarks. Not really used.

Tag search finds works that include this specific tag you searched. Also not used a lot.

People can see my bookmarks?

When bookmarking a work, you are able to do a lot.

if you do not want your bookmarks to be visible to the public, make sure to check off the Private bookmark box at the bottom left.

Common terms thrown around by Ao3 users:

-tags: the additional tags of the work

-kudos: liking a story

-bookmarks: saving/saved stories. makes it easy to revist. you can see your bookmarks from your profile

-hits: the amount of people that have clicked on a story. Isn't necessary they liked it, but they did click on it.

And those are the basics! If you had to take one thing only, its ALWAYS READ TAGS

I hope this helped the clueless souls even a bit :)

Im open to reply to any other questions, and you can send me them in my asks, messages or comments of this post

A chat with author Melissa Wiley

In 1996, HarperCollins published six Carmen Sandiego chapter books, featuring VILE villains from the then-current "Deluxe"/"CD-ROM"/"Classic" generation of computer games and a new lineup of Acme agents, headed by a Black female Chief (Lynne Thigpen ha impact), and focusing on kid detectives Maya and Ben.

The series included two books each by two writing teams and one solo act, Melissa Peterson. I got in touch with Melissa, who now uses the pen name Melissa Wiley, and she graciously answered some questions about writing the Carmen books and beyond.

To get you caught up to my knowledge before the interview, here's Melissa's website, and here's her bio as printed in the two Carmen books (accompanied by the caricature above):

Melissa Peterson is the author of several books for young readers. Born in Alamogordo, New Mexico, she has lived in eight different states and visited Germany and France. She has never ridden a dolphin, but she did eat a great deal of sour cherry ice cream outside the cathedral in Cologne. [Note: These are both references to plot points in Hasta la Vista, Blarney.] Her research for Hasta la Vista, Blarney included many hours playing Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? An official ACME Master Detective, she lives in New York City with her husband and young daughter.

FYCS: Thanks so much for agreeing to this interview.

Melissa Wiley: What a fun blast from the past! The Carmen books were my first professional writing gig and I had so much fun working on them.

That's so exciting to hear! With that being the case, how did you get involved with the books?

I was an assistant editor at HarperCollins, working for the wonderful Stephanie Spinner. I started out as her editorial assistant at Random House right after grad school and moved to Harper with her a year later, shortly after [my husband] Scott and I got married. Stephanie knew that I wanted to be a writer, and she often sent in-house writing assignments my way (lots of cover copy). When I left Harper in 1995 to have a baby, Stephanie recommended me for several book assignments, including the two Carmen Sandiego novels. That project had been underway for several months—Harper was doing a tie-in with the game and TV show. There were six books in total; two were assigned to me and four went to other writing teams [Ellen Weiss and Mel Friedman, and Bonnie Bader and Tracey West]. I often joke that I got my first modem, my first baby, and my first book deal in the same month!

I loved working with my Carmen Sandiego editor, Kris Gilson. The two books were a blast to write and a great learning opportunity for me. Ellen Weiss remains a good friend of mine. She's a true gem of a person!

Have your experiences writing the Carmen books influenced your work since then?

With Carmen, I discovered how much I love writing humor. Before that (in grad school), my poems and stories were on the serious side. I had so much fun with the playful, sometimes goofy tone of the Carmen Sandiego books that I definitely shifted afterward to more of a focus on humor in my books. I still find writing from a place of playfulness to be my most satisfying kind of work.

Were you familiar with Carmen Sandiego before writing the books?

I loved the computer game! I'd seen several episodes of the show—it's all a bit blurry now and hard to say which I encountered first—and really enjoyed it, but I especially loved the game. Instant classic!

How much guidance did you receive from HarperCollins / Brøderbund? Were the plots your own, or were you given plot outlines?

We were given the basic descriptions for the two kid detectives, and I had a couple of meetings with the editors and the other writers to flesh out the characters a bit more—give them personalities. I don't think Mel was in the meetings, but Ellen was there, and Tracey and Bonnie.

Then I wrote outlines for my two books and the other writers outlined theirs. I was assigned one "Where in the World" mystery and one "Where in Time" mystery. I think I submitted several plot ideas for each—the big challenge was thinking up interesting objects for Carmen and her henchmen to steal. The Blarney Stone and cocoa beans were my favorite ideas and I was thrilled that they got picked!

How did you research the books?

Those were AOL days, and the web wasn't yet a place for intensive research, so I spent a lot of time in the library. For The Cocoa Commotion, I conducted phone interviews with staff members at the Hershey chocolate factory—lots of fun. But I never did get to visit the Blarney Stone!

What was your favorite part of working on the books?

Researching the history of chocolate! Naturally I had to do a lot of sampling in order to describe it properly. ;)

Your author bio in the books mentions that the scene in which Maya and Ben eat sour cherry ice cream in Cologne, Germany was inspired by an actual experience of yours. Did any other experiences of yours make it into the books? Have you had any other travel experiences that notable? (Note: I'm originally from Northern Michigan, so travel experiences involving tart cherries are a high bar to clear for me.)

Ohhh, that sour cherry ice cream! I hope I get to taste it again someday. Apart from eating a lot of chocolate, I can't remember any other personal experiences that informed the books. If I were to write one today, I'd make sure to set a scene in Barcelona. My husband and I spent a week there in 2008 and it was an incredible trip. The paella! The Gaudí buildings! Art on every corner! I'd love to go back someday.

The bio also features a caricature of you with your baby daughter...

That drawing was made by the brilliant comic book artist Rick Burchett, who was working with Scott on Batman comics at the time. Scott was an editor at DC Comics and Rick was one of his favorite artists to work with. When I needed a bio illustration for the Carmen Sandiego books, we commissioned Rick to draw it. I love that piece so much! The baby is my oldest, Kate, who was born right around the time I started working on the books. We still have the original art!

You've written over 20 children's books for a variety of ages, in a variety of genres. Do you have any favorites among them?

That's so hard to say—I'm fond of all of them and I dearly loved creating worlds and adventures for Charlotte and Martha in my Little House prequels—but The Prairie Thief and The Nerviest Girl in the World are extra-special to me. I grew up in Aurora, Colorado and had a summer job at a wildlife refuge on the prairie, a landscape that served as the setting for Prairie Thief. I loved getting to weave secrets into the prairie setting that means so much to me.

Your most recent book, The Nerviest Girl in the World, was published last August. Can you tell us a bit about why you wrote it?

I lived for 11 years in La Mesa, California, a small town just outside San Diego. While I was there, I learned that in the very early days of silent film, there had been a film studio in town. Eventually the studio moved to Santa Barbara, but it was exciting to discover that before Hollywood was the center of the American film industry, little old La Mesa was a moviemaking place. I began reading everything I could find about the studio, and when I learned that many of the cowboys in those early Westerns were real cowboys and ranchers, an idea for a book began to take shape—the story of an adventurous girl who stumbled into work as a daredevil film actress along with her cowboy brothers.

Of course, I'm legally compelled to ask the question that literally every interview currently includes: how has the pandemic changed your job?

LOL! Yes, it's the question right now, isn't it! Well, I've worked at home since the Carmen Sandiego days, and I homeschool my kids, so in the biggest ways our lives weren't hugely affected by the shutdown. But I used to do a lot of my writing in cafés, and I miss that like crazy! I had to think up all sorts of new strategies for staying focused at home this past year. I'm hoping to get back to the coffee shops this summer!

Something I found really interesting is that you have a Patreon, which you explain you started to help pay for medical bills. How has that experience affected your work as an author?

I've played with lots of kinds of content on Patreon and really enjoy having a space to share behind-the-scenes stories. It's a more intimate and personal space than social media, so I feel free to let my hair down and be really frank.

Thanks so much for these fantastic questions! I had so much fun reminiscing about the Carmen Sandiego adventure!

[bisexualpositivity]

Hi? Would it be okay to ask for advice?

I used to be comfy with the pan label and I used to be so happy to finally know what I am... Until recently, since I saw so many blogs claiming that it's biphobic. I got insulted and threatened for asking someone to explain why because I genuinely didn't understand... And at this point I'm too scared to use labels or put pride flags anywhere...

It makes me so happy to see blogs like yours who don't exclude, but my anxiety isn't allowing me to relax and I'm still worried that I'm in the wrong here... I don't want to be a bad person.

I feel lost, because I thought I had found a safe space, that I could finally relax a bit and have some support despite living in a very homophobic place... But turns out I'm not safe anywhere and it's making me super paranoid...

I've always struggled with my sense of identity so after finally finding something that I thought was right for me, I felt so relieved... But now after I got treated this way for it, it doesn't feel good anymore? Nothing feels right anymore... I'm scared...

I'm sorry... Please feel free to ignore this... I really don't know what to do and I feel so lost...

personally, I think it's a crime that I can't give you a reassuring hug, anon (assuming you'd be alright with that). you definitely deserve one! :(

please don't pay any mind to people who insult and threaten you just for being loud and proud about your identity, they're not worth your time or energy. if they upset you that much, don't hesitate to block them--you're not obligated to educate them or prove that you're not biphobic. unfortunately, there's a lot of intracommunity bigotry on social media, and it'll take some time for that to change.

since you mentioned feeling anxious--specifically because you're not sure what to do / how to identify--here's an idea: why don't we establish a couple ground rules to help you set healthy boundaries and expectations for interactions in LGBTQ+ spaces?

no stranger online is entitled to know any personal information about you or your identity. if you don't want to tell people what gender / sex you were assigned at birth, which gender(s) you're attracted to, which label(s) you use (if any), or even details about your race / class / disabilities, you don't have to! in fact, anyone who demands that information from you at your own safety's expense is someone you should avoid.

it’s okay to not put your name, age, or pronouns in your bio. while having your name and/or pronouns on display can sometimes make it easier to meet new friends (as it’s easier to strike up a conversation with someone you know how to respectfully refer to), there’s absolutely no obligation on your part to do so! anyone who says “you HAVE to put your pronouns in your bio, especially if you’re cis” is well-meaning, but misguided in their approach to allyship for closeted and questioning trans people. age is a little trickier--while you’re not obligated to share how old you are, it’s important to be mindful of the boundaries you need to set with people in different age groups than your own. 

you’re not responsible for the way outsiders see other people in the LGBTQ+ community. don’t listen to anyone who says “identifying with microlabels makes us look bad” or “your identity is fake / too confusing for cishets to understand, so use a different label instead”, they still have a lot of internalized queerphobia to work through before they’re ready to start giving anyone advice. you don’t exist for anyone else’s consumption--not allies’, brands’, or other members of our community’s.

you don’t have to tolerate someone being rude to you, especially if it’s because they don’t like the way you identify. don’t worry about “letting them win.” walking away from a conversation that’s upsetting to you doesn’t make you a coward or a loser, and even if it did, you should always put your own mental health first. (think of it like this: would you put up with someone talking to your friend this way?)

don’t be afraid to reach out when you need support. sending us this ask was a big first step in the right direction, and I’m so proud of you for taking it! and if you need to talk to someone, but aren’t sure where to start, why not try The Trevor Project, or their new public forum TrevorSpace? I’ve used both before, and they can be surprisingly helpful!

tl;dr: there are plenty of people in this community that love and support you! we want you to feel safe and welcome in LGBTQ+ spaces, and we’re happy to provide you with reassurance that you’re not hurting anyone by being proud of who you are 💜

4, 6, 11 from Alliance Edition asks (go with all Commanders :)

thanks, Pauletta! 💚💜

...I realized while working on this that All of my Commanders ally with the Republic (albeit some do so reluctantly *coughcoughvarrich*). I need an Imp-aligned Commander, hmmmm...

most of it under the cut cause it got a little long haha whoops-

4. Why did this character of all your OCs become Commander?

For all of them, it was a case of being in the wrong place at the right time.

Terrin: When Marr reached out about sensing Vitiate in Wild Space, she and her crew were the first to reach his location so she was the one to go through the events of Chapter 1, and wound up with ol' Valkie in her head as a result. She'd provided a lot of help dealing with Revan and Ziost, and Lana knew her skills were legit (not just Anyone can win the Great Hunt or kill a Republic Chancellor before they're 25), so they weren't just gonna leave her to rot in Arcann's trophy room. She stepped up to lead kind of unintentionally, mostly acting on adrenaline in-the-moment, but it worked out pretty damn well.

Varrich: One of three AUs where Terrin isn't Outlander/Commander, he arrived about the same time as Terrin (but she made it to her own ship, while Varrich was blocked off from his like in-game). Being Havoc Squad's CO, he was a natural leader and had done a lot to single-handedly change the tide of war, so no one really asked questions about him taking charge. Much to their mistake...

Xaerez: Reversing places with Terrin in Canon V'ehsz, he arrived to Wild Space before my other Main Eight. He tried to shrink back to the shadows after he was rescued from carbonite, but he kind of unintentionally put himself in the spotlight when it came to the Zakuul situation ("killing" the Immortal Emperor, escaping "prison," then Lots of Knights trying to arrest you as a result, kind of Does That). His Alliance doesn't have an official leader for longer than the other four and almost collapses as a result, but he just kind of falls into that place much to his discomfort because of his intelligence, planning capabilities, and Imperial Intelligence/SIS skills in general.

Synnda: He pretty much follows Terrin's/the game's reasoning step-for-step. In his case, he's welcomed as Commander because he's actually had experience with (admittedly small) armies when it came to his Esh-ka, Voss, and Rift Alliance allies. The Alliance is a huge step up from them, but if he could hold all those together to be such a massive tide-turner on Corellia, it gave other members hope that he could lead them to victory in this, too. Him being the Barsen'thor didn't hurt, either.

6. Are there any NPC’s from the class stories you’d like to see/HC join the Alliance? Ex: Master Timmns, Ardun Kothe, Watcher One, etc

Yep! Master Timmns is actually in my Alliance, for one (I think I even mention it in Azan's bio? idr but if not I'll have to edit it). He and my Wrath got in contact and worked together again when the galaxy went to shit after Zakuul's discovery. Together, they survived the Eternal Fleet and even struck against lone ships when they could afford the risk. When the Wrath was contacted by Theron about the Alliance, they both joined.

I have actually thought about Kothe interacting with it, too. For Outlander!Xaerez, he has to compose himself to keep from shooting the man on the spot, and turns him away then and there without explaining it to his people (ex-Jedi? SIS? come on, Commander, he could be of so much use to the cause!) which causes some tension for a while. I've thought of him being part of Alliance Intelligence for a while, though (Terrin's just Real Careful to keep him stationed Away from Xaerez after the Last Time their resident ex-Cipher Nine saw him........)

Shara/Watcher Two temporarily joins it, too! I've been developing a headcanon for a while that over the five-year gap, she worked with Theron and Xaerez building a contact network and, while she Did get really bitter and almost hostile toward Xaerez for a while after finding out he'd been an SIS spy while working under her, and idk if they ever quite repair what had once been almost friendship, she does see that the Alliance is for the greater good of the galaxy and not just a single faction, so helps through KOTFE/ET before going off-the-radar. She's not really Empire anymore, but also didn't wish to actively cause harm to it like the Alliance was starting to.

There's some others I've at least considered, but I'll leave it at those three for now to keep it from getting too long!

11. Favorite place in the Alliance base?

Terrin: Cantina! She loved a good drink and/or party after a rough battle, and has just always loved the atmosphere cantinas have.

Varrich: Military hangar. Once a soldier, always a soldier, in the eyes of Outlander!Varrich. There's a reason the speeches are held there, and for him, it's not just the space in the room.

Xaerez: Commander's private quarters. It's the only place he can really be himself anymore.

Synnda: His isn't in the base, but just outside of it. The cliff just above the Commander's landing pad? Right there. Up there, he can see everything he's worked so hard for, why he fights - and also gets a beautiful view of a beautiful planet.

Autistic Bumlets HC’s

This is actually one of the first things I wrote but I’ve been nervous to post it. Anyway, I had so much fun writing this and love Bumlets so much

I might write more for this at some point if anyone’s interested with some more thoughts and I hope you enjoy! This is super long and kind of rambly but I had fun with all of this

Bumlets loves his cane

It has a really nice weight and he always needs to be fidgeting with something and he loves the feel it has when tapping it

It doubles as a stimmy and something to help him maneuver because Bumlets has no coordination

And he loves it

He also on an unrelated note had an injury that screwed with his foot when he was a kid

It bothers him more when its cold out and he relies more on the cane on bad pain days

He uses it as a selling point sometime

He and Crutchie joke around sometimes and mess with their crutch and cane together

They know things can be awful sometimes so they share lighter, goofy silly moments

Bumlets is really uncoordinated

He has a really hard time maneuvering around and controlling his movement when he’s walking

There’s this one table in the hall of the Lodging’s

It stayed in the same place but every day for three years the boy could not get by without knocking into it at some point

His proprioception is completely screwed

He loves dancing tho and he’s SO GOOD at it

He feels self-conscious sometimes bc like, he can do backflips and amazing dance moves but he can’t tell left from right all the time or the distance between objects and proceeds to knock into everything on his way anywhere

Absolutely LOVES dancing

He loves it

Plus dance is a more acceptable way to move your body than flapping your hands/rocking or whatever

At least with the newsies (who don’t really seem to care either way)

Bumlets loves being in motion

He had to work really hard as a kid to figure out how to coordinate his dancing movements. He spent hours trying to practice each step because he was so clumsy due to his brain function that even though he really freaking loved dancing it was really hard for him

He actually used the cane first when he was little to try and help push himself around when he struggled with dance moves he really wanted to do

He’s very proud of his dancing now

And he loves that he gets to show it with the boys he loves as family

He gets praised sometimes for being super expressive because he’s almost always smiling or showing something on his face. It can be really good for selling sometimes to have someone so that seems so open and friendly

Honestly tho Bumlets never knows what is happening on his face so if people ask he has no clue how to help

He has a hard time registering what his face is doing at all 

He can tell sometimes he’s smiling really widely when his face starts hurting but he feels pretty disconnected from his face most of the time and he’s really confused by how others can tell what is happening on people’s faces and what that is supposed to signify so easily

Like… how

Bumlets really doesn’t get idioms at all

He has a mental list of some of the phrases the other newsboys use

Even though sometimes he’ll slip up and get really excited and start grinning because he has a relevant point in response to that statement- but oh that’s a phrase/idiom or non-literal joke they didn’t actually mean that he should stay quiet

Plus English isn’t his first language

So things get really messy there too

There are so many little idiosyncrasies and quirks in different languages and they’re really hard to keep track of sometimes even if you don’t have autistic characteristics

His hair always stays down and he really likes the feel of it

He can’t stand the thought of getting a haircut

Plus having it long/hang down feels nice on the sensory end

He doesn’t like people touching his hair

Bad. Touch.

Bumlets doesn't like short pants bc if your going to wear pants they have to go all the way down

He doesn't like leaving just a section of skin exposed

It's gross!!

Baggy. Clothes.

He loves them

He very rarely slips up when he's dancing. Bumlets has rehearsed the motions for so many countless hours they feel natural at this point so he's generally in a pretty bad way when that does happen

When he gets excited he tends to start tapping his cane faster and his eyes light up

He can chatter away for hours about things he's interested in without pause or losing enthusiasm

Bumlets can be pretty oblivious

He has a hard time telling when people are upset or emotional

Hyperempathetic as frick

Internally panics and screams the whole time anyone is upset bc he isn't sure what he's supposed to do but he Loves Them

Hypersensitive to touches but loves hugs

He is a very physical person bc he loves showing affection but some days touch is just Bad

Can't do surprise touches very well

Espec from certain people

He has a hard time supporting his weight (he just sways faintly a lot but has no idea, can't tell if he's in motion) so he uses his cane for support

It helps him a lot

And he likes something to try to use to catch him if he stumbles a little

Plus itsa stimmy

He tends to shut down if noises and lights become way too much

Like this: 

Duck behind a statue for a moment to breathe

also

tap tap tap and finger thing I can’t get my body to cooperate to do

He has a few places he goes when he's overwhelmed

Very rarely completely shuts down but it's always incredibly exhausting

The first time he did it around the newsies he just collapsed and slept for hours afterwards

He didn't move like at all in his sleep which freaked them all out because Bumlets always seemed to be doing something + he slept for like a whole day

The boys worried about him

Bumlets was a lil sleepy and sheepish when he woke up but good

Used his cane extra that day

The newsies are super great

They don't always understand but they try really hard and love him to death

There aren’t really a lot of words to help him explain things because it is 1899 but they all make it work, and if the kids can sell papes and live with the rest of them they have been absorbed into their crazy weird family and will be fought for

They've become pretty good at noticing signs for when he's getting overwhelmed

Usually someone will grab him and take him out to rest if he’s not in a space to just go himself

Different people do different things but he loves them all

Some of the boys will just have quiet conversations with Bumlets one-on-one about things he loves when he's more coherent

One just sits with him quietly supportive while he fiddles with stuff

He actually doesn't smoke a lot but he loves fiddling with cigars or messing with them in his mouth

Oral stim

He used to use them a lot more

He still uses them sometimes and has some around

One time after a really bad day (meltdown) Race gave him one of his cigars. He made him promise not to tell anyone but Bumlets was so happy he couldn't care less

He was very careful with said cigar bc it was from Race

So it was automatically important

He doesn't always understand Race cause he's super witty but he loves hearing him talk

Bumlets can be a really convincing liar. He's not the best but he can definitely pass and he kind of has to on the streets

Can be really loud

Rowdy boy, like the rest of the newsies

Adventurous as frick

Wild child

He’s super eager and almost always seen smiling

He’s excited by so many things

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have other emotions because he definitely does

He feels like he just soaks up all emotions and dealing with them when he can’t understand is a mess

Skittery is great at listening even when Bumlets is past the point of words or even understanding how to put things into words

Doesn't always realize when things are supposed to be insults

Forgets he's supposed to take care of himself sometimes

He forgets he's supposed to eat and doesn't always realize if he's hungry or needs water

Exasperates Skittery and some of the boys but they try to remind him in case he doesn't remember

The newsies love him

He's awkward and nervous and doesn't understand things sometimes but really kind and cares very obviously about all of them

Appreciates the little things

He's good at noticing tiny details or inconsistencies others miss sometimes

While he’s friends are really great at helping that doesn’t mean he can’t fend for himself

He can definitely pick fights and hold his own and look after himself

His family is just their to help when things go sour

They don’t make him feel like he’s any less bc he’s “weird” or different

Skittery is incredibly close with him and helps him a lot

They’re So. Close.

Skittery helps keep track of things when his thoughts are more scattered

Bumlets is also very good at helping Skittery because he’s really smart with money and sorting things out

When he pushes himself too far sometimes Skittery is the exasperated friend who wants Bumlets to stop being an idiot and look after himself

He's really supportive and sometimes tugs him aside to help explain terms or phrases when Bumlets doesn't understand

Skittery also has a cane and they tussle a lot with them

Bumlets has always really loved that bc when they were starting it out it made him feel like he was one of them

They're almost always inseparable

And he has a hard time sometimes when he doesn't have Skittery because with Skittery things Make Sense 

When he's gone Bumlets is sad

He misses his friend

But the other boys are nice too and he loves them

He considers the newsies his family since he doesn’t really have his bio family anymore

[hotel-hazbin]

Howdy y'all its Ghost-mun here!

Just a basic report for now, loveys!

"Ghost-mun, GHOST-MUN! Why haven't you been as active lately!"

~Well honestly loveys, I haven't been in the best head space to answer asks lately. I try to whenever the moment feels good and my mental health isn't a scrambled shit show to get at least one done. The thing is, most asks I get are for multiple people and the entire gang. Those take a lot out of me, and on top of that I get some mildly fucked up asks. I got an ask the other day about the hazbin dads watching as their kids get violets assaulted while they hopelessly watched. Those can just, theres a lot to unpack there so let's just throw away the entire suitcase (and also not send in asks like that).

"Ghost-Mun, is the ask box open?"

~Theres an easy way to check what's going on on this blog! If my header is something random or silly, the ask box is open! What is currently available is in the bio itself. I do match ups, playlists, and for premium followers aesthetic boards! I open and close them as I please.

"What's a premium follower, Ghosty?"

~Well I'm so happy you asked lovey! A premium follower is a follower who does anything to help me financially! Currently my main thing is Fetch, and that post is here. Anyone who does that and Pm's me proof, gets to request a board!

"Oh you are always on that discord and doing stuff! Grrrr that makes me so angry!"

~Slow down there lovey! I am very active on discord, yes, and I don't have to explain myself to you. Whether I choose to be on discord or on here answering asks is my business. Let's leave it at that lovey.

"About your dirty blog..."

~That blog was just in a trial period and is no longer active. It was kinda fun, maybe, but that's not who I am especially in these trying times. I have 7 of the same asks in there.

"About your two rp blogs...."

~I have three atm actually, but only two are exclusively hazbin.

@autumns-fairy is my in general rp blog, a mashup of rps and ocs.

@the-egg-boys is my egg boys rp/ask blog full of yolks!

@fat-nuggets is my fat nuggets rp/ask blog.
