I'm super lucky that my job allows me to Make Things and I especially love making replicas of vintage music memorabilia! So while I'm waiting for my Sparks fan club welcome package to arrive, this is what I've been up to thanks in part to the wonderful work of @bawnjourno ! As well as some not-so-vintage not-replicas just because I love Lil' Beethoven :D
Would any of you be interested in these? I'd be totally willing to personalize the buttons with your member numbers like in ye olden days unless that's confidential information these days, in which case I'll delete the line for it (someone please let me know!) I promise that the actual image isn't as pixellated as the one here lol. The picture doesn't really show it but the Lil' Beethoven keychains are on super-cool mirrored acrylic (still need to do a scratch test to see how well it holds up). Both the buttons and the keychains are approximately 2 inches, I still need to figure out cost but I'll probably only charge a few bucks on top of postage :)

Since when did we start charging money on patreon for fanfics 😭😭😭😭 is this for real😭
hi, love. I haven't seen that many people doing the Patreon thing when it comes to fanfic, but it's pretty common for people who draw for example to set up a Patreon. I believe that everyone who does, just like myself, needs the money. I wouldn't be doing it if i didn't need to. I figured the Patreon setup was the best idea since it's not really that common for people to tip writers, we've been struggling with getting reblogs and comments, so you can imagine.
Right now, I'm applying and doing tests to get an internship, which still won't be enough because I'm also trying to apply for a master's. So, yeah, I'm really thankful for everyone who tipped me on ko-fi and subscribed to my Patreon, last month my savings were over, and the Patreon money was what helped me pay for some medical stuff I needed (Idk if you saw the whole mick schumacher's sick club, but yeah — huge thank you for everyone who subscribed/donated btw).
We often see fic writers as little robots who don't eat, drink, or sleep. We request stuff, and expect an instant reply, and when we get the content we don't even go back to the page to tell the writer our thoughts. We don't reblog, nor leave comments, but still, we expect them to keep writing and keep sharing everything as if it didn't take hours, sometimes days to come up with a 1k piece polished to what we think readers will like best. I hope I don't sound rude, I'm just trying to make a point because I'm tired of seeing writers deactivating, tired of seeing my friends getting writer's block and then people still demanding things.
On top of that, I'm still posting a lot here, from smau to blubs and long fic requests (and I won't even talk about how some pieces aren't even getting a hundred notes, which always makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong, if my writing is bad, or if there's anything that I could do to make the reader's experience more enjoyable), and it takes a lot of time, it's even harder to balance the two profiles now, but still, I keep sharing some of my work for free. so please, please, don't make me feel bad about needing money. thanks ❤️.

would you guys support me if I made a sudden and out of no where ask blog based on Garten of BanBan but it's a rewrite AU with OCs and making the story with my own personal taste?
...wanna see the two bouncelia and dadadoo kiddos I designed?
royal heirs and Leaps (left) is a royal pain in the butt brat.
I thought about how my rewrite includes mascot children and these two bouncelia/dadadoo children and Little Beak are gonna get so much trauma
Their mom is gone, almost everyone's been naughtified and their siblings turned on them for assisting the player and the rest of stuff.
All of this is subject to change however.
Here is Mx. Parent my player character and her child Junior.
ummm.. what else I got...
My Captain Fiddles redesign I did for fun pirate themed
I think that's about it for today!

anyone else get skeeved out by the wording people use 'you can choose any identity you want!' when talking about reflecting on your gender identity?
It's like.... I didn't choose to be a man tho... I just am.
I didn't choose to be bi. I just am.
I've been this way for as long as I can remember regardless of how long it took me to find the language to properly express it.
There is no choice. Making it seem like a choice leaves such a bad taste in my mouth.

Little mostly positive waterfall ramble/rant under the cut~
(warning, I do swear a lil haha~ and feel free to ignore ofc!~)
Finally got the dumb panic-induced false confidence nerve to tell one of my only two in-person (well, one province over, but USED to be in person till earlier this year) friends about The Kink. I've told a handful of internet friends before, but never an actual real life friend I might have to see in person one day.
He actually took it really well, my other irl friend (of 15 years, his girlfriend, known him only about 3-4) would not want to know, we just don't have that type of relationship, she doesn't have that comfort level, but me and him have always been able to have deep and honest talks~
I was. Honestly scared out of my fucking mind. We were in call, but I typed the messsage and then IMMEDIATELY deafened until he read it, but once I got back we had a good talk, he asked a few questions, we made a few jokes, and overall the mood didn't change at all.
I'm honestly always so worried people will think I'm getting off to them sn--zing every time... or anyone else who does... which, ofc, just isn't how it works, but he didn't even consider that. (and made a few joking-yet-honest comments that even if I did get off to him snzing, he wouldn't honestly care. Which knowing him, is completely true~)
Anyways, this is a bit of a random/personal thing to post, but I've been so deeply ashamed of this part of me for so long, and then only recently started feeling more comfortable, and I've been toying/struggling with the idea of telling him for almost a year now, so to finally do it, and get such a good response... honestly it just feels so good. I don't think anything's gonna change in our dynamic, or get weird in any way, and that fills me with so much relief. (and yes, he knows I have a tumblr, but he promised not to search for it thank GOD)

I don’t want to start drama but I’ve seen some concerning posts floating around about how distasteful and disappointing it is to see certain creators “support” Dorian and I hate to break it to you guys, but if you’ve ever interacted, shared or created anything regarding The Arcana you are supporting Dorian yourselves.
Being in the fandom alone is supporting Dorian by creating engagement, publicizing the game and being part of the audience they’re trying to target.
And even if you were to delete your whole blog and everything you’ve ever posted to enjoy the original game in private you would still be supporting Dorian by bringing traffic to the app they now own.
The one and only way you have to stop supporting Dorian, if you care about it so much, would be to distance yourself from the series entirely and go join another fandom. Never play the original game ever again and never interact with any fan creation regarding it from now on. 👋
