#so i'm turning anon off now

[a2zillustration]

Hey, have you heard about the new third-party option in the Visibility tab of blog settings yet?

I HAD NOT, THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP!!

In this house we hate AI generation tools built on content without permission, so I'd recommend everyone out there:

go into your blog tab

click on "blog settings"

scroll allllll the way to the bottom to the "prevent third-party sharing" option, and toggle that on (it looks as if you have to do this for each individual blog right now)

#big thank you anon I don't scroll tumblr super often but it does look as if the feed is already starting to fill up with people saying this #I appreciate that tumblr is at least letting people turn this off for now #I pretty much exclusively post here these days so I have no idea what I'm going to do if I have to bounce #asks

Your essay on Joong's underrated acting skills deepened my Joong appreciation so much, that I watched Mafia the Series, I'm watching Ploy's Yearbook (even though there is a serious lack of Joong so far), and I'm planning on watching The Warp Effect too. I haven't watched het shows in over ten years, so this is a big deal! 😂 I really liked him with Dunk in their shows, but MTS gave me another facet of him, because he's so timid in it, unlike in SIMM and HA, where he's (seemingly) very cool and in control. So thank you for making me a full time Joong (and Dunk) girl 💜

i saw this message first thing in the morning when i woke up yesterday and it instantly put me in a good mood!!! <3

YESSSSSS I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT

mafia the series might actually be my absolute fave thai het-show, it's just SO funny!!!! and the entire cast is so great, like, not just joong but the entire cast plays off each other SO well. and don't even get me started on gina virahya and her portrayal of anna kondra!!!!

you know, when i went into mafia the series i saw the poster and was like "ughh i really am gonna have to sit through this standard (overly) dramatic mafia show just for joong, huh. the things i do for my boy..." and then. AND THEN. you can imagine my surprise. i was crying tears of laughter throughout the show and i was actually laughing so hard that my mom made a comment about how she could hear my laugh in my room

beam is my loser boy and joong portrays him in such an adorably awkward way, i love it <333

and yes there IS a serious lack of joong in ploy's yearbook so far :((((

it was quite funny tho bc in the one scene where joong does show up i immediately recognized him by the back of his head, like!! i saw this:

and instantly went "OH there's my boy!!!!!" 😂😂😂

and i can't wait to see him with film bc film did extremely well with gun in not me and i feel like film and joong will also work together really well

you know, i'm always happy to turn people into full time joong (and dunk) girls!!!!!!

i've adored them ever since simm which i watched live from ep2 onwards. fun fact, actually: when i started simm i actually had no idea who they were (even though technically i'd seen dunk in bad buddy already, except i wasn't paying attention to the random high school bandmates and so i didn't actually recognize dunk and only realized later on ahahah)

aaaanyway, i had no idea who they were, right? and so in 2022 my mom and i spent two nights in prague during easter and in the evening we were in our hotel room and we were kinda looking for something to watch. and i was like "hey look, gmmtv has a new bl out and it looks kinda cute and fluffy judging by the thumbnails?? and like something that doesn't require too much brain power?? plus, there's also only two eps out so far, so we'll be caught up right away" and so we watched the first two episodes and then the two of us ended up watching every new ep together every week hahaha

i actually didn't really talk about it on tumblr back then and when you go back on my blog you'll see that there are hardly any simm post. but really, with every new simm episode that aired i liked joongdunk more and more. and especially once the characters started dating i was actually so in awe about just how comfortable joong and dunk were with each other and how they absolutely weren't afraid to touch? like, their physical affection was just so casual, like it was the most natural thing in the world to them in an "i'm-not-even-thinking-about-it-bc-it's-so-normal" kind of way and that was just soooo refreshing to watch?? i was (and still am) truly amazed

and when just a couple of months later, at the end of 2022 gmmtv announced joongdunk were gonna get another show together i got SO excited!! and also when it was revealed that simm was included in our skyy 2!!!!

and then hidden agenda started airing and then i was tagged in that tag game and then i went to watch joong's entire filmography and then i ended up falling into a joongdunk rabbit hole and here we are...

anyway, i have multiple agendas and one of them is turning people into joong fans and dunk fans and joongdunk fans sllksdfd

and my other agenda is getting people to watch mafia the series, bc it's truly a gem of a show!!!!

(speaking of agendas: the only thing that's missing in your message is you telling me that you approve of my fight for a sexy joongdunk vampire bl, like... that would have made the message and the influence of my joong/dunk/joongdunk blogging complete 😂😂😂)

#you know when i saw your message first thing in the morning my immediate thought was #''ok nothing that happens today can top this like. my day is ALREADY made and i only just woke up'' #your message set the bar very very high for me tbh #but then in the afternoon my crush unexpectedly called me after we barely talked the past 3 or so months and we spent 1.5h on the phone #and well i'm really sorry but THAT was the actual no.1 highlight of my day yesterday dfjkkjdfkfdg #i swear your message is a close second tho!!! 😂😂 #asks #anon #joong archen #adrm #no but every time someone tells me i turned them into a joong fan/dunk fan/joongdunk fan i get such a rush of satisfaction lmao #i'm desperately waiting for summer night #i might just go off about dunk's acting after that #we'll see #bc i REALLY wanna see what dunk can do without joong and if he'll be as good #my money is on ''yes'' but i also don't wanna say anything to avoid eating my own words kdfkdf #but in reality i see many qualities to him as an actor that i think he should be able to do keep even without being opposite joong #besides he's now done two series as a lead character so now he has a lot more acting experience than he did going into simm #his acting was already so much stronger in hidden agenda then it was in simm (hello?? yank-kiss-yeet?? ep9?? ep11??) #and i trust that he's not just gonna lose it all in summer night all of a sudden #god i'm immensely excited to see him act in summer night you don't even know

With all respect and love, I absolutely love your fake dating au. If I had to choose an update between that and the kissing fic (or anything else really) I would always choose the fake dating au. There is so much potential! Please tell me you plan on updating and finishing it? If you’re not, can you at least share with us the fic plans so we can have some closure about it? Would you consider letting another author adopt the gif to finish it if you won’t? It really is a Piarles must-read. I hope I can learn the ending!

but see, anon, you DON'T get to choose. only i get to choose, and i have chosen to update the 2023 kisses fic. 😌

... you know, i debated for a long time if i would even bother answering this ask, or just delete it right off the bat. because in my opinion, this is an incredibly rude, insensitive and entitled thing to send to any writer. it was ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO that i talked publicly about how important it is to remember that writers are humans, too, not machines, and to please treat us like humans. and yet here i am again.

i'm going to answer this one more time, and i'm going to answer it in detail, and then in future if i get any asks in this vein, they WILL be deleted without any interaction. you guys are making me consider turning off anon asks entirely, which i really don't want to do, because the other half of my anons are SO very lovely!! but i also have had enough of waking up to rudeness and blatant entitlement in my inbox.

so. why exactly is it that i think this ask is so entitled and insensitive? didn't the anon say "with all respect and love" and compliment my fic at the start of it?

yes. yes, they did. but the thing is, saying "with all respect and love" doesn't mean you can then proceed to be rude to me and it's all fine. that's like me saying "with all due love and respect, i have decided to delete the fic entirely." the fact that i prefaced it with "love and respect" does not make what i did later alright. (although in this case, it WOULD be alright regardless of whether i prefaced it with "love and respect" or not, since it's MY fic and i can do what i want with it.) this anon, on the other hand - this anon has no right to demand anything of me. i am a fanfic author and i do this for free. it is not my job. i have no obligation to do any of this. which means that nobody out there, really, has any right to demand performance from me. (lmao can you tell i have been deep in the law textbooks lately) but the point stands! i don't owe you anything at all.

yes, you can ask me nicely, and i can choose to reply if i want. (hell, if you ask me nicely, i'd probably LOVE to write things for you!!) but you don't get to DEMAND updates from me. and "tell me you plan on updating and finishing // can you at least share with us the fic plans so we can have some closure" is not asking nicely. that's demanding. YES, anon gave me a compliment and they said "with all respect and love." but they're STILL demanding performance from me, and that's not okay. the anon is making it sound like i owe you "closure" (even though this is a work of fiction, not a break-up you're going through, and i think the word "closure" is a VERY dramatic one to use.)

once again (because apparently i LITERALLY CANNOT emphasise it enough) i do not actually owe you anything. i, katie singsweetmelodies, owe you NOTHING. i do not owe you updates or fic plans or whatever the case may be. i might choose to share them with you, yes, but on my own schedule, since they're MY creations made in MY free time.

right. got that off my chest. gosh. NOW! one other thing that i want to make very, very clear before i end this off - i do not give my permission for anyone to "adopt" my work or to write a continuation of it. i am the one who's put in the hours to write all the setup we have so far. i'm not letting someone else benefit off that. if you so badly want a fake dating fic with the conclusion already ready, then you are more than welcome to put in the hours and create it from scratch yourself. but for someone else to take over my work and take it in a direction i probably won't even like? no. absolutely not. permission emphatically NOT granted.

anon: i'm sorry if you feel that this reply is unnecessarily harsh. but this could not have come at a worse time for me, because i really did talk about the importance of treating writers like people just here, just a day or two ago. needless to say, it really struck a very bad chord with me to get an ask like this right after i took pains to explain, publicly, why these kinds of asks are not okay.

i really am happy that you are enjoying the fake dating fic. and i do appreciate that you tried to tell me that, even though the way you did it was completely out of line. i hope that this answer won't... preclude you from enjoying the fic in the future? or something? i'm not sure, to be honest. the whole thing has left rather a bad taste in my mouth.

but one thing i will say to anyone reading this: i know it's been a long time, but just bear with me. i mean it when i say that there will be an update eventually. no, i can't tell you when. i'm not even going to try and give you a schedule, because like i said, i'm a human and not a writing machine. but the fake dating fic is very close to my heart, and i want to see it finished someday just as much as you do. ❤️

(P.S. - if anyone was very worried reading the first part of this answer: NO, i am not actually going to delete the fake dating fic!!! i was just using a very dramatic example, lmao. the fake dating fic is one of my favourite things i've written, and despite the slight... mess... about its updates recently, that's not going to change anytime soon. 💙)

(Idk if you're ok with this kind of ask, if I bother you I'm really sorry)

Jason discovering several kinks he didn't know he had until he started dating Dick

praise kink, voice kink, competence kink, the list just get longer

So this might be slightly scandalous but I do legit think Jason would be the most inherently vanilla out of the bats. All the others (especially Dick, that is one kinky mf) get their wires crossed early, enough that when they're adults they look back and go oh that was a thing >.>

That's not to say that Jason isn't kinky, but yes, I would see his kinks as being something he develops because of a person, not because he already had them. He just has a crush on Dick, but then Dick's teaching him how to properly land a double back flip, and saying how proud Dick is and that Jason is a good boy, and Jason goes from liking Dick to liking that specific thing, so now he has a kink. And then more and more that tie into his hero-worship of Dick.

But then Jason dies. And when he comes back, Dick has finished puberty. His voice is deeper, his jawline is stronger, his ass has somehow gotten bigger, and now when they fight Jason's getting worked up over more than just the adrenaline.

Like you know this scene from The Punisher

^that is post-resurrection Jason during every interaction with Dick ever

#JayDick #Jason Todd #Batverse #Possible this will make no sense because brain still entirely offline but basically yes anon I agree #I tend to write Jason as being entirely wrecked by Dick's existence at all times #Also I don't know how we got here but now I'm wanting fic where Dick's gone off the rails #so when Jason gets back Dick is further gone than he is #and Jason's just watching and being so unbelievably turned on

What is the difference of feminine lesbians and femme lesbians? Your tags on that reblog about lesbians on TV made me wonder what you mean.

Hi Anon,

Thank you so much for such a fantastic question! The answer to this is very, very complicated and to a certain extent individual, and I certainly do not claim to speak for all femme lesbians. But there are some things I can say about this.

Most lesbians do not explicitly identify as either butch or femme, but just as lesbians. But some find their homes and identities in those terms and the butch/femme community. Femme and butch are two sides of the same coin, and just as butch does not simply mean "wears jeans," femme does not simply mean "wears dresses." In fact, gnc, nonbinary, and/or transmasc femmes are common. Femme is a specific identity, not just an aesthetic.

For most femmes, in large part the identity is about repurposing and reclaiming aspects of femininity in a specifically queer way, a way that is designed to signal to and attract other sapphics (often, but not necessarily exclusively, butches). Most femmes are very intentional about which aspects of traditional femininity they embrace and which they reject. For example, I keep my hair long and usually wear vintage inspired dresses when I go out, but I almost never wear makeup and I don't shave my legs. For me and others like me, being femme is in large part about examining femininity and performing it intentionally and in a queer way, by only performing certain aspects of it and/or by performing it in an exaggerated manner.

But while aesthetics and external performance of femininity are certainly tied into being femme, it is also more than that. Femme is a complex identity that for many people is their way of defining their gender, connection to history, and/or role in relationships. Many femmes prefer to date butches, but even those who don't usually see themselves as mirrors to butches, as the other half to that community. Butch and femme are also historically based identities with ties to working class lesbian bar culture in the 1950s. I'm not going to get into that as much, but most people who identify with those terms see themselves as part of a continuing history and subculture (if you're curious about this, there are many books out there. One I see recommended a lot, though I haven't yet read it, is Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers by Lillian Faderman. Another classic which I have read is Stone Butch Blues, which takes place primarily in the 1970s. Major trigger warning for police brutality and several rape scenes in it though).

A lesbian who is fairly feminine but does not see themself in relationship to that history, to that subculture, and/or to butches is, in my opinion, probably not a femme. A lesbian who wears dresses because that's what's expected of her but who has not examined her gender and identity and chosen to embrace specific aspects of femininity in a queer way is, in my opinion, probably not a femme. And ultimately, a lesbian who does not identify as a femme is not a femme. At its core, femme is a complex and nuanced identity, not an aesthetic.

A final note: The original post I left tags on that made you ask this question was talking about femme lesbians and lesbian characters' costumes on TV. I would argue that perhaps lesbians on TV don't necessarily need to identify out loud as femmes to be femmes (it's hard enough getting tv shows to say the word 'lesbian' or goodness forbid 'bi'), but the reason I don't see most of them as femmes is because most femmes specifically incorporate elements of gender-nonconformity and/or gender exaggeration into their presentation and/or mannerisms. Most lesbians on TV are just wearing traditionally feminine, fashionable outfits identical to the straight girls around them; that does not read as femme at all to those who know how to read those cues. Also, I wrote this specifically about femme lesbians because that's what the original post was about, what your question was about, and how I identify, but most if not all of this is true for femme bi women as well.

#answers #gosh this was hard to write and not at all comprehensive #there's so much to this #but hopefully this answered your question #for now i'm letting this be reblogged but if people get discoursey i'm blocking and turning it off #i'm not putting it in community tags though #that's a step too far #anon (or anyone else) if you have more questions feel free to ask! #also i just reblogged a post that has a better explanation than the one i just gave so you should read that

Would it be spoilers to ask why was Alvaro's Spanish not translated by the magic the same way his English was?

It wouldn't be spoilers at all - as a matter of fact, I was kind of hoping it'd come up eventually!

although i will be putting this under a cut because it turned out longer than expected oops

So in case anyone was wondering, I've actually been going by the language headcanons found in Lost in Translation by Broken_Synchronicity (a really good fic I highly recommend it) - along with the fact that (at least until Port Fest cries) there didn't seem to be any real mention of Spanish culture. Again, at least from what I could see - maybe I just missed something lol

So it gave me the idea of Spanish just not being a language in Twisted Wonderland. Then I learned from the novel that there's apparently been a translation spell of sorts going on for at least the novel's version of Yuu, allowing them to understand and communicate with the people of Twisted Wonderland. And so, I combined the two!

Spanish as a language does not exist in Twisted Wonderland, and English just barely does in the form of a dead language. The most commonly spoken language is the equivalent of Japanese, which notably, Alvaro cannot speak. So, the universe throws him a bone in the form of that translation spell.

And here's where the question is finally answered instead of just my rambling - since English technically exists in Twisted Wonderland, the spell is able to work off of it and translate it easily into Japanese that the people of Twisted Wonderland hear - and vice versa with the spell translating their Japanese into English for Alvaro, since that's the language he speaks the most. However, since Spanish doesn't exist as a language, the translation spell has nothing to work off of. Think of it as trying to translate for a language you both don't understand and don't have a reference for, into a language with wildly different grammar and syntax. So it does its best by first trying to convert the Spanish into a similar sounding language - which in this case, would be Italian - before translating it into Japanese. Nevermind that even that has its flaws, shown with how the translated Spanish comes out sounding like extremely broken and butchered Japanese.

There is another caveat to the translation spell, in that it depends somewhat on Alvaro's focus. When he's not really thinking too hard about what language he's speaking, it translates smoothly into Japanese for him (or as smoothly as it can be when he's speaking Spanish). However, if he's focusing on what language he's speaking - or even writing - it can't translate at all, due to Alvaro's own thoughts disrupting the spell. This goes the same for writing and reading, something Alvaro takes advantage of when he writes in his notebook. It's very annoying when it comes to reading though, since if Alvaro thinks too hard about what he's reading, he'll start seeing Japanese instead of English and have to stop before he's able to continue.

As a note, any text Alvaro writes in either English or Spanish when he's purposely thinking about writing in them stay in that language - the translation spell doesn't change them since Alvaro can already read it, and no one else has this spell cast on them. On top of that, though it has the capability to translate other languages into English for Alvaro, it focuses on translating just Japanese. If he really focused, he could try and translate other languages, though he has yet to find it worth the time.

Tldr; there is a translation spell Alvaro had cast on him when he first arrived in Twisted Wonderland, that allows him to talk to other people and read and write without drawing any suspicion to himself. This spell is disrupted whenever Alvaro purposely thinks about the language he's speaking/reading/writing with. When it comes to Spanish, since there is no basis for the language for the translation spell to work on, it tries its best to translate it first to Italian (the closest equivalent it has) and then to Japanese (the common language), resulting in very wonky and broken-sounding translations.

Her Majesty is actually great. 1. It’s the equivalent of a post-credits scene and isn’t the real ending 2. Regardless, it’s a lovely little coda and promise of tomorrow after the end of the world. Because the Beatles music does live on!

Ooh my first anon!

This is really beautifully put, and you may actually have won me over. I love the idea of a little tacked-on ditty signifying an eternal legacy. I still stand by that I personally don't enjoy the song and I will continue to stop the album before it plays. However, I am now charmed and inspired by the idea of it.

Thanks anon, you have genuinely enlightened me.

#anon <3 #I'm just that kind of person #I like finality and closure #When I used to watch Tangled as a kid I would hurry to pause it before the old diaper man could ruin the romance #I like to let the singer finish their sentence before I turn the car off #Etc #But now you've converted me to the idea of her Majesty #So seriously #Thank you #I hope you continue to send me your thoughts

Not an ask but just want to say—I love your work. Like Gold is such a beautiful read and I’m always soooo excited for the next chapter. Your talent for descriptive language and making those tiny moments feel huge is awe-inspiring.

I just wanted to gush. And also to give a note of advice (only if you want to take it!) that also helped me when I was newly posting works to Tumblr which was this: when posting a fic/snippet that has a lot of text, inserting a “read more” line somewhere after the first few paragraphs, so that there isn’t a huge wall of text for people to scroll through to interact and see the tags on the post! It helped me a lot when someone told me, so I figured I’d pay it forward and tell you 🫶🏽

...Lololololololol had to laugh heartily at this bc I'm not new to tumblr in any way, shape, or form, but god I wish I was 😂 I'm aware of the read more etiquette and I usually put things under a read more (as seen in all of my posts except that one), but one of the best (worst) features of this hellsite is that it doesn't let me go back in and add a read more if I accidentally deleted the read more I initially had and posted it that way. If you go back, all of my stuff is posted under a read more other than one chapter bc it literally won't let me go back in and add one. By the time I realized it, it was months after I'd posted it. I'd love to be able to fix it (believe me, I fucked with it for like an hour once I noticed) but alas, this site is flaming hot garbage and has been since I joined it in 2011. But thanks, I guess?

#insert god i wish that were me meme here #bruh im so old #like... i used to be able to come to the end of the legend of korra tag #that's how long I've been coming back here lmao #like i know you meant well but this hurts my feelings a bit #I'm trying my best but I'm human and i make mistakes just like everybody else #cherry speaks #i deleted the chapter now. still accessible on fanfic hosting sites #honestly turning off anon forever now bc i just came back to reread this to see if maybe i overreacted but honestly I'm more mad now lmao
