What are some couple behaviors you like to see or imagine with Bela/Farin? Hugs, handholding, certain types of kisses, stuff like that.
At first, I have to say: maybe it's because I'm aromantic, but I no longer believe in the traditional view on relationships. I don't think that any kind of behaviour is exlusively for romantic relationships, but I believe that each person can decide for themselves, and when it's about two or more people, only they can say what is the state of their friendship or relationship and whether traditional romantic or even sexual behaviours are a part of their relationship/friendship or not, and outsiders do not get a say on any of that.
Therefore, I don't call any of those in your ask as "couple behaviours" as imho people can do all those things with other people and still not be in a romantic relationship with each other. And I also don't want to define Bela's and Farin's friendship/relationship for them, altho I do have to say that it does have a very strong queerplatonic relationship vibes (I know I just said outsiders have no right to put labels on other people's relationships but! Listen, I'll explain it just in a second!), and I wish there was a way for them to learn about that word, since it seems that especially Bela has often been trying to find a word to describe their relationship but hasn't been able to find any that would fit perfectly. So far we've heard everything from friends to brothers, to a married couple, to partners, to business partners... you name it. Just like in this Bela's interview from 2006:
Tumblr media
But yeah, since the disclaimer is now out of the way, I can finally answer to your ask! :DDD
Okay so. There is actually so much content that they don't really leave much for the imagination XD We have seen basically everything already. Nowadays my fave thing is actually to look at such photos and think about what led to those photos? Like, there are so many photos that make me go "what why why WHY???" but in like, the very positively curious way. Would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall during so many of those photos, just to see who got the idea and why, and why was there someone with a camera. Or is that just what people keep calling as "boys will be boys"?
Sometimes these photos also evolve in my head and instead of "what led to this?", they do the opposite and the scenario continues in my head and that's usually how I come up with my endless fanfic scenarios.
More underneath cos, once again, I cannot shut up:
There are also some stuff that I kinda wish existed IRL too more, since most of the time the FUB interaction is wrapped in humour. Especially Farin is so often using that as a shield to escape from questions he doesn't want to answer to, almost like some panic reaction. Especially if watching the interviews from 2012, he's almost always directing it to him and Bela first before getting serious and answering the question normally.
What comes to imagined stuff, very often these revolve around (emotional) hurt/comfort. Not them hurting each other, but something else hurting and then them comforting each other. The tendency for this comes from my own past, when I was bullied and hated by everyone at school and got used to this me vs. the world mindset, and learned to survive on my own. So with these h/c scenarions in my head, I kinda relive those same old emotions but with an outcome I would have needed most back then - just have someone to simply ask "are you okay?"
So, often whenever I'm feeling down or like an outsider or whatever, I often turn to either writing these down as FUB fanfic scenarios, or a newer thing is to just make doodles of those. Visuals are always so much stronger than words. I haven't actually posted neither of these anywhere (yet) as they are often very, very personal and come too close to me, so showing them to everyone would feel like exposing myself as well. Even when it's literally just. My versions of Bela and Farin - but the emotions and thoughts, especially if they are any darker/deeper, usually come from myself. But oh boy is it still fun to write about!
Normally the behaviour I like to imagine are just some. Idk, domestic, soft stuff? Like, my own touch-aversion makes me so amazed every time I see a photo or video of them where they are just perfectly comfortable letting the other one inside their personal space. It's something so uncanny to me! How do people do that? How can people feel comfortable like that? So whenever I write or draw stuff, I like to imagine more of that too cos the idea just is so nice. Like, to trust another person so much you don't feel like suffocating or dying just because they might be 1 cm closer than what you'd be comfortable with. It's so weird and looks so nice, but I literally don't understand how people sometimes do that.
I hope this answered to your ask at least somehow :D I had to clean my text so many times because I was derailing too much omg.

No it's not that I don't appreciate the flirting, I just wish you wouldn't do it while I'm in the middle of vivisecting you. Yes I know that it's really hot when I'm covered in your blood elbow deep in your chest cavity that's why I keep vivisecting you. But I keep getting flustered and dropping your liver and its really slippery so I keep dropping it over and over again leading to very comedic slapstick comedy where I slip on your blood and fall over really funny

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

Hey, Horrormaster Sims. I have a wildly different question that barely relates to TMA (Sorry about that) but its about your own process. Please, if you could, can you tell me how your first drafts made you feel? I'm on the fence about writing my own thing (not a podcast, and again, not Magnus related, though I have a million little aus for that delightful tragedy you wrote, thank you for that!) But I'm discouraged by the collective notion that first drafts are always terrible, because there's no ... examples I can solidly use to help the dumb anxiety beast in my brain that tells me everyone who is in any way popular popped out a golden turd and not, well, you know. One of my friends said 'Oh I bet Jonathan Sims's first draft was nothing like what he wanted' and I got the bright idea to just. Send you an ask, since you're trapped on this hellsite like I am. Anyway, thanks for reading this (if you do) and if you'd rather ask it privately, I am cool with that. Alternatively, you're a hella busy man with Protocol (you and Alex are making me rabid, i hope you know) and you can just ignore this! Cheers, man, and good words.
To my mind all writing advice, especially stuff that's dispensed as truisms (like "first drafts are always garbage") are only useful inasmuch as such advice prompts you to pay attention to how you write best: what helps your workflow, what inspires you, what keeps you going through the rough bits. There are as many different ways to write (and write well) as there are people who write and so always consider this sort of thing a jumping off point to try out or keep in mind as you gradually figure out your own ways of writing.
On first drafts specifically, I think the wisdom "all first drafts are bad" is a bit of unhelpful oversimplification of the fact that, deadlines notwithstanding, no piece of writing goes out until you decide its ready, so don't get too hung up on your first draft of a thing, because a lot of writers find it much easier to edit a complete work than to try and redraft as they go. It's also important to not let perfectionism or the fact your initial draft isn't coming out exactly how you want stop you from actually finishing the thing, as it's always better to have something decent and done than to have something perfect and abandoned.
But the idea of a "first draft" is also kind of a fluid one. The "first draft" you submit to someone who's commissioned you will probably be one you've already done a bunch of tweaks and edits to, as opposed to the "first draft" you pump out in a frenzy in an over-caffeinated weekend. For my part, my first drafts tend to end up a bit more polished than most, because I'm in the habit of reading my sentences out loud as I write them (a habit picked up from years of audio writing) so I'll often write and re-write a particular sentence or paragraph a few times to get the rhythm right before moving to the next one. This means my first drafts tend to take longer, but are a bit less messy. I'm also a big-time planner and pretty good at sticking to the structures I lay out so, again, tend to front load a lot of stuff so I get a better but slower first draft.
At the end of the day, though, the important thing is to get in your head about it in a good way (How do I write best? what helps me make writing I enjoy and value? What keeps me motivated?) and not in a bad way (What if it's not good enough? What if everyone hates it? What if it doesn't make sense?) so that you actually get it done.
As for how my first drafts made me feel? Terrible, every one of 'em No idea if that's reflective of their quality, though, tbh - I hate reading my own writing until I've had a chance to forget it's mine (I can only ever see the flaws). I suppose there's theoretically a none-zero chance they were pure fragments of True Art and creative perfection, but Alex's editing notes make that seem unlikely.

Robin and Steve playing a dnd character together because Steve said the only way he'd play is literally with Robin. They take turns each session for who speaks but always planning together. It's a teenage human, gangly and uncoordinated and a bit of a loner. Everyone sort of lets the "two people playing one character" issue slide, as they want to play a game with their friends.
Robin and Steve have wildly different character voices, and sometimes announce which way they are walking before stumbling in that direction, and also mutter to themself in character. when it's Steve's sessions to talk he flits with the NPCs Eddie plays, but Robin is just a little aggressive to them. The personality changes are kinda weird but everyone is just happy they're playing.
Everything is going well until the big bad of the short campaign they're all playing knocks them into a wall. Not hard, but hard enough they're scrambling and flailing and...splitting in half. By their own description. Immediately they start, with their respective character voices (they are committing to this bit) bickering about whose fault it is. And about what they should do now their cover is blown.
The table is silent.
Robin and Steve have been conning everyone the entire time. They're playing twin halflings, who alternated who sat on each other's shoulders pretending to be a human because they were goofing off the day they joined the party and were too embarrassed by the mix up to correct anyone about it until they had to. Their voices and personality changes are brilliantly embedded as not Robin and Steve not being able to keep consistent, it's because they've been playing different characters. It's brilliant. It's horrible. Everyone fell for it and the reveal essentially pauses play because everyone starts yelling at them.

Felt like making a post since I've gained quite a lot of new followers on this blog (as well as on my main, most people being the same on both), as well as lots of reblogs which is GREAT too since the fandom here is already way too tiny!!! And I'm aware that I haven't been too active on this side of Tumblr in a long time.
I haven't had the queue running since the last spring, simply because I started to run out of blog to reblog from. I feel like I have already had everything in my blog, and I keep finding older blog and reblogging from those has its own problems. At least when I last time added stuff to my queue and drafts, I had to use the old XKit for adding stuff directly from blogs because using the regular system is nerve-racking. On top of all that, reblogging old posts means the HTML code of those posts looks different from recent posts, which is why adding tags, also, got extremely frustrating. I use quick tags and tag bundles exactly for the reason that I don't need to type every single tag there myself, and that I don't need to open every single post individually for adding tags. Well guess what - old posts did not support the quick tags anymore. It just kept saying there was an error, and I had to type everything down myself. Often several times. (And not tagging just is not an option for me!) Plus, Tumblr often likes/liked (not sure if it's already fixed) to refresh the queue/draft page so that it got just pain in the add to click and edit individual posts only to scroll down the drafts/queue every single time, and then do that like. 70 times in a row. Which is far from fun.
Adding stuff to queue just got too overwhelming. Tumblr freezing my browser when opening several tabs of a blog at once. Then quick tags and tag bundles stopped working and posts breaking because the old HTML code doesn't match the current HTML code. And the queue/drafts refreshing itself every single time cos you can't use quick tags.
But I feel like I need to start going through blogs again. I feel like I owe that to my old as well as new followers. Hopefully adding stuff to the queue won't be as enraging as it used to be. At some point even the beta editor changed somehow and I had to use the old one because in the new one you no longer could arrange images so making gifsets or photosets was impossible. And you can't arrange them in the old one either, unless you open it on the app, but where you sometimes still can't arrange them because the desktop code doesn't match the mobile code. And if you can open them on mobile, then you might not be able to open them on the desktop anymore cos Tumblr says it was created on the app. Besides, this web beta editor still doesn't work perfectly. I wonder if it ever will.
The last issue then is of course: the like-reblog ratios. This is not Instagram. If you only like and never reblog anything, you can be sure that I will block you in an instant. ESPECIALLY if you don't have a blog title and use the default icons. Then I will assume you're either a bot, or "spying us for (dä) content" which is not acceptable, at least not in my eyes. Go make your own content and don't steal what others have worked on hard, sometimes for hours. Which leads us back to like-reblog ratio: reblog art, please. And reblog creations. Reblogging IS NOT reposting, and reblogging is very very very much encouraged! (If you're new to Tumblr, it's that arrows symbol that looks like recycling symbol.) So please please please, reblog creations! Our tiny fandom is already tiny enough so when everyone's here just watching and not sharing and interacting (by reblogging! writing stuff in the tags!), I assure you that the Tumblr fandom WILL die out eventually. In fact it used to be way more active before, and it's been horribly inactive over the past 2-3 years. Also I used to post my art, edits, memes and videos here but recently gave up on that because there's just no interaction whatsoever anymore. So I don't see any point in sharing MY content to others if others don't care to look at it. So, I'm creating for myself and also keeping it all to myself, then. Maybe sharing it to some friends + my Instagram followers since IG seems to treat artists a bit better than Tumblr.
Alright, I guess that's enough. I'll try to get back to keeping this blog active, but finding "new" content is so hard nowadays, and I already explained the problems with the older posts. (I also started school a month ago so that will take some of my time, but I'm still spending time on Tumblr as if my life depended on it so it hasn't affected my Tumblr time that much yet.)
