[feligamifebruary]

Parisiens, Parisiennes, dragons and birds of all horizons,

Feligami February is fast approaching, and you may already be thinking of the wonderful art you will bestow upon us throughout the month. It will be our pleasure to share your creations on this blog, and archive them in case our timeline gets erased.

I sense that, like Felix, you have an inquisitive mind. Fear not, for we have prepared a helpful FAQ below:

1. Tell me about the event!

As I’m sure you’ve guessed, Feligami February is a month-long fandom event dedicated to our favourite lovebirds. The principle is simple: to tickle your brains (and hearts!) with our prompts, so you are inspired to create the content you want to see on Tumblr on AO3.

Any and all creative media are welcome: art, fics, AMVs, playlists, cosplays, moodboards, web weaves… No rules and no amoks shall get in your way.

2. Sounds fun! How do I join?

Simply upload your creation(s) to the #feligami february and #feligami february 2024 tags, and make sure to tag this blog. This will ensure we spot your work, as easily as Felix spotted the Peacock Miraculous under Gabriel’s tie.

3. I’m not sure I can cover all 29 prompts, or post on time. Can I still participate?

Of course! The entire point of this event is to have fun. Don’t overwork yourself.

4. I have an idea, but it doesn’t align with any of the prompts. Can I still post it?

Please do! The prompts are here for inspiration, not to suffocate you. Break your chains.

5. Are poly ships allowed?

Absolutely, as long as they include Feligami and exclude any incest and/or pedophilia.

6. What about smut?

Given the age of the characters and the target audience of the show, we will not be allowing any form of smut as part of this event. Similarly, NSFW content will not be allowed in our Discord community (more on that below).

7. What about angst?

Go ahead! Please make sure to tag potentially triggering content to keep the event safe and enjoyable for everyone.

8. The creative process can be a bit lonely. Where can I meet other cool, motivated, brilliant Feligami creators like myself?

Fear not, for we have you covered. By joining our dedicated Discord server, you will get the chance to hang out with fellow Feligami fans, share your ideas, and take a peek at the amazing content coming your way. Think of it as our own little window, on which we all draw hearts for each other.

If you’d like to join, please follow this link to the art room, where you will not be subjected to a creepy, hallucination-based play.

9. You guys sound cool! Where can I find your work?

Meet Aether Beyond the Binary Contributor S. J. Ralston

We’re entering the final week of the Kickstarter campaign for Aether Beyond the Binary, an anthology of 17 aetherpunk stories starring characters outside the gender binary, and we’re still going strong! As I write this, we’re $3,700 shy of our goal – an amount we definitely can raise, but the more help we get spreading the words about this project, the more people will know it exists, and truly that’s the single biggest barrier to hitting our goals: effectively spread the words. So, if you believe in this project, whether you’re a backer or not, we’d really appreciate you taking a moment to share/reblog/retoot/reskeet our posts about it!

Bluesky

Facebook

LinkedIn

Mastodon

Pillowfort

Tumblr

Thanks for all your support! Now, let’s introduce another of our contributing authors…

About S. J.: S. J. grew up in a distinctly weird, distinctly southern hometown, then hied out West for grad school before landing in Texas, where they currently work as a planetary scientist. They’ve been writing original works and fanfiction since they could hold a pencil semi-correctly, and continue to write both whenever possible (as well as still holding a pencil only semi-correctly). In their clearly copious spare time, S. J. enjoys hiking, tabletop RPGs, jigsaw puzzles, and enthusiastically crappy sci-fi.

Link: Personal Website | Tumblr

This is S. J.’s first time writing with Duck Prints Press. You can read another example of their writing by visiting their website to check out Anglerfish, a horror sci-fi story. 

An Interview with S. J. Ralston

How did you pick the name you create under?

It’s a line from the opening of the Aeneid that’s stuck with me ever since AP Latin in high school: “On account of the mindful wrath of cruel Juno.” It’s a synchesis, where the adjectives have been swapped from where you expect them to be; it’s Juno who is mindful and her wrath that is cruel, but rearranging them in such a way elegantly implies the relentless, vindictive onslaught that is to follow.

What do you consider to be your strengths as a creator?

Dialogue and dread.

What do the phrases “writer’s block” or “art block” mean to you?

The state of wanting to create but not having the intellectual raw materials to do it.

Are you a pantser, a planner, or a planster? What’s your process look like?

I would consider myself a plantser. Typically I start with an IDEA, writ large, center of the page. Then some key scenes will populate around it–dramatic moments, fun bits of dialogue, cool setpieces. At that point I get out my corkboard and red string and start trying to piece everything together, and if I’m lucky, the shape of the story will reveal itself to me. Sometimes it’s the classic parabola of rising and falling action, other times it’s been a ring, a tri-fold posterboard, a descending spiral, or a series of concentric circles. Then I fill in until the structure is complete and hope like hell that I can stick the landing.

What are your favorite tropes?

Found Family, Robots With Feelings, Enemies To Lovers, Destructive Romance, Kirk Summation/The Man In The Room

What are your favorite character archetypes?

Brooding Loner Secretly Just Lonely, Lying For Fun And Profit, Badass With An Obvious Dump Stat, Too Old For This Shit, Taciturn But Bizarre, Himbo

Do you like having background noise when you create? What do you listen to? Does it vary depending on the project, and if so, how?

I make a playlist for almost everything I write that’s longer than a few thousand words. Sometimes it’s for listening to while I’m creating (in that case, it has to be primarily instrumentals or I’ll get distracted), and sometimes it’s just for daydreaming to (in which case, the vibes must be correct, so I can construct AMV’s in my head).

Share five of your favorite books. (You can include why, if you want!)

Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett – Eerie, funny, and poignant in equal measure; a police procedural done right.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke – Lush with joy, curiosity, and love, yet still remarkably dark, with an ending that will nestle in your brain forever.

Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer – Fourth in the series and the absolute pinnacle thereof. A master-class in shit hitting the fan. 

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu – Everyone, down to the most momentary background character, behaves more like *people* than any I’ve ever read before and it’s *disastrous* and I *love* it.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson – The classic of classics. The horror of horrors. The transgenderism of it all.

What are your goals as a creator? 

(1) To write something that’s better on the second read-through than it was on the first, and (2) To write something that stays with the reader.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

When you finish a first draft and you *know* you’ve got something really good, put it down. For a month, six months, a year; until the glow fades, or you’ve fallen in love with whatever you’re writing next. Then come back and re-read that first draft. Take extensive notes, diagram the plot, profile the characters. Notice the holes, redundancies, missed opportunities, and inconsistencies. Then open up a blank document and *start over.*

S. J.’s Contribution to Aether Beyond the Binary

Title: Razzmatazz

Tags: bipoc, body horror, butch, character injury (non-graphic descriptions), classism, dehumanization, eye horror, horror, humans are the villains, mechanic, minor character death, misogyny, murder (accidental), non-binary, non-human character, past tense, sentient construct (magical), third person limited pov

Excerpt: 

The thing was damn near unrecognizable, not just as Marilyn Monroe, but as human. People had tweaked the proportions through the years—amateur artists who couldn’t put down the paintbrush. That kind of thing was bad enough on paper, but seeing it in person made Skipper’s butthole clench.

The dress and the curls were Monroe. The rest was something else.

“Shit my ass off,” Skipper said under his breath.

“Yeah,” said Charlie.

“This gets up and walks around?”

“She does.”

“Shit my ass off.”

Maybe it was a trick of the light, a too-heavy head on a too-thin neck, but the Monroe wasn’t staring across the aisle like the others. It seemed to be looking down at Skipper. It put out waves of dare-you-to-start-some-shit energy.

“Is it because they messed with the proportions?”

“Huh?” said Skipper, pulling out of the Monroe’s tractor beam.

“The reason she moves around so much. Could it be because of…” Charlie gestured to its whole body.

“Hell, maybe,” said Skipper.

The Monroe loomed like a landslide, just waiting for the rain. Skipper had a hammer on his belt. He felt like the Monroe was staring at it. If he broke the case, what then?

[voiddemon]

can i ask what is kinyarn 😭

I think it's about time I explained Kin-Yarn to the new generation instead of jokingly brushing it off and making people do their own research.

Please note I will be spelling Kin-Yarn with the hyphen, as god (me) intended. Kinyarn is still hella valid and the more commonly used name. I also wont be going into my interpretations too much since it's complicated and long i do not actually ship it i promise.

Kin-Yarn is the greatest Kirby ship of all time. It's the ship between Yin-Yarn from Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Kine the fish from hell. There isn't anything canon for it, these characters have never and will never interact in HAL's eyes. However we, the fans, know better.

After reading my thesis I'd strongly recommend checking out all of the content the long dead kin-yarn fandom has to offer. Most of it is like, really old, since those around for Kin-Yarn's inception have either left tumblr, moved onto new and cooler fandoms, or don't think it's that funny anymore. (It isn't because it's a fandom in-joke from two years ago.) Thankfully there are many great relics of the past, of the days when new Kin-Yarn content showed up every like five posts on your dash. AO3 has most of the Kin-Yarn fanfiction that's been written, but some of it is hidden away within blog archives and dusty links to google docs. Kin-Yarn videos also exist, including some (two) AMVs and the classic Kin-Yarn ASMR made by yours truly. The Kin-yarn/Kinyarn tag on tumblr.com also has a lot of posts so just go through that.

I. HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Kin-Yarn was made at some point in October 2020. Out there on the internet there is a site called FanficMaker. It's a pretty basic website. I don't know exactly how the creators found the material to make this, but there is a okay-ish sized pool of sets.

These sets are fairly generic stories, with the program plugging in the names of characters you input into specific slots. There's a surprising amount of variation between these sets, but after you play with the site too long you start seeing the same ones over and over.

So Voiddemon a few years ago found this website, and decided to make some fanfiction and upload it to tumblr.com. On one occasion, the website generated the sentence "It was Yin-Yarns gay wedding party..." It didn't say who he was marrying, but I found it funny and uploaded it to tumblr.com. On a separate day, in a separate prompt, I put Kine in and it gave me a similar result. "Meanwhile, Susies mind was wondered back to the past. It was Kines gay wedding party..." I also found this funny because. Kine. And uploaded it to tumblr.com.

Here are the two screenshots together <3

I will now introduce Ninikins (Who has since changed their username and moved on from the Kirby fandom), who suggested that the two of them were getting married to each other. Everyone in my circle online at the time found the idea hilarious because.

From here everyone went crazy and just started. Kin-yarning all over the place.

II. Fan Interpretations

Memetaknight, creator of the greatest Kin-yarn fanfiction of all time Yiracle (It's my favorite :shrug:) created a Kin-Yarn Essay. Today it is a great time capsule that brings us into the culture around Kin-yarn in the past. It's just over two years old now so happy birthday Kin-Yarn essay. It delves into the two primary interpretations around the ship. I'll just quote the most important bits of it since I'm lazy you can go check my sources ok.

"A common Kin-Yarn characterization is to ship either both brothers with Kine (as a V shape relationship), or just one of the brothers with Kine... This interpretation has many specific tropes... but it has one extremely interesting idea that is unique to it. In the spirit of Kirby’s Epic Yarn’s final battle... it has been theorized that something similar could apply to Kin-Yarn, in which the brothers would catfish Kine .. Kine, either on purpose or on accident."

"The other interpretation sees the yarn body previously mentioned as a third entity... which is referred as Yin-Yarn separate from the needle brothers. This characterization idea arises from the fact Yin-Yarn is referred as a singular character"

There is a third interpretation that stems from the two of these, which is that both the Yarn Body or puppet is in love with Kine and so is at least one of the knitting needles.

Often in Kin-Yarn works, it is unclear which one of these the creator interprets the ship as, since artwork and fics include all three characters (The puppet and the two needles) with no clear distinction between them. A distinction being drawn is more commonly in artwork, due to the nature of the medium.

III. Love and Marriage

For the most part, Kin-Yarn is portrayed as a perfect relationship. With Kine and Yin-Yarn being madly in love. The nature of one being a hero and another being a villain is not often explored, but when it is explored the most common interpretation is Kine accepts Yin-Yarn despite his past wrongdoings. Oftentimes Yin-Yarn will reform and become good for Kine.

they also have sex

III A. Who are Prince Fluff's Parents?

Prince Fluff (Also from Kirby's Epic Yarn) has no stated or seen parents within the series. Originally KEY was called "Keito no Fluff", and featured Prince Fluff himself as the protagonist. He was supposed to be searching for his mother, but this was removed from KEY so he has. No parents.

A semi-common headcanon within the Kirby fandom is that Prince Fluff was created by Yin-Yarn, which is what originally spawned this interpretation. A few perceptive Kin-Yarnians noticed that Kine and Prince Fluff have the same exact color scheme. Like it's kind of uncanny actually Kine is just a little desaturated.

This caused the creation of the Yamily Tree, an. absurdly large family tree but it's kinda bloated and not that funny anymore. Here's the condensed version

Usually Prince Fluff is not actually biologically related to Kine. Since that has horrifying implications. Instead it implies that after Kine and Yin-Yarn are married, they adopt Prince Fluff (Which he usually isn't happy with).

III B. KINE'S DIVORCES

Ok so Kine Kirby is married to Mine canonically. However we haven't seen her in a very long time, and in Kirby Clash Kine is sleeping on a bench. Leading to the idea that he and Mine got a divorce. This is accepted by everyone who ships Kin-Yarn because Kine cheating on his wife isn't a laughing matter, but Kine leaving his wife for Yin-Yarn is. (Usually the interpretation is Mine leaving Kine)

Even though Kin-Yarn is interpreted as perfect most times, other interpretations are that after they get married the relationship becomes volatile. At the core the two still love each other, but due to one reason or another they've grown apart. This is best shown in the Kin-Yarn Fanfiction named after the ships national anthem, "The One That Got Away" on AO3 by HeavyLobster77.

This is very popular both for the drama and because it's very funny.

IV. Historical Kin-Yarn Events & Holidays

-The Great Kin-Yarn Porn Scare of 1969 Someone uploaded an explicit Kin-Yarn fic on AO3 tagged as explicit with very SUS tags. It wasn't real though and the fic is just among us.

-Kin-Yarn Discord There's a Kin-Yarn discord out there that's dead as hellll and I'm. Not sharing a link good luck finding it

-Kin-Yarn WORLD TOUR I blazed a Kin-Yarn post when tumblr Blaze first came out. Spending real money to force people to look upon Kin-Yarn was a powerful move.

-Feared Anon creating the best AUs of all time Kinederella (Technically theres no real au just funny images)

-Kin-Yarn Blog Wars ok i cannot find many of the blogs but for a bit everyone made blogs dedicated to loving or hating kin-yarn. Also KinYarn-Archives was created at some point around this time I think.

-Kin-Yarn BANNED from the Shipping Wiki Tumblr user Kaissauce tried to create a page on the shipping Wikipedia, but it was deleted by the mods lmao. Here's what the page originally looked like.

-Urban Dictionary somehow it got on fucking urban dictionary. this was my doing but it should never have been allowed to happen.

-Kin-Yarn: The Movie Released on July 29th 2021

no comment needed we've all seen it

-Kin-Yarn Day Kin-Yarn day is a national holiday beloved and celebrated by all, on February 14th. No other holiday is celebrated that day <3

V. Conclusion

idk how to end this thing. love wins and it shouldn't. do your own research

#kin-yarn #kinyarn #long post #i gave up with it i am tired :pensive: #here u go anon

[tetsunabouquet]

Just the other day, when painting and YouTube playing background music, several Shaman King AMVs passed including a particular Tao Ren one. Now, whilst I never roleplayed on Tumblr, I actually did used to have a Nepgear RP blog on a different site and was part of several different fandom roleplaying groups as well in which I played as OCs. Obviously, this included Shaman King and whilst I cannot be entirely certain, that AMV I am talking about, actually used a song by one of the favorite bands of another Tao Ren fangirl I used to RP with nearly a decade ago. I swear, her music taste is the only thing I remember about her and I bet if she were the creator indeed, that she wouldn't remember me either. And then today, I actually came across a Tao Ren rp account. I see the sign, oh divine cosmos. I'm starting a Shaman King rp blog as a sideblog and will revamp my old OC. Perhaps I'll restart my Nepgear RP blog here too, or perhaps create an entirely new different OC as CPU. I'm not entirely decided yet! I'll post the link to my RP blog once I am finished with revamping my old OC's backstory and making the blog! (To my KNB fans, I am really sorry for the lazy posting lately. I swear the Hanamiya watercolour is turning out really nice so far and Basic Instinct Chapter 13 is just so much angst that I'm working ever so slowly on it because the number of depressing possibilities popping up in my head is seriously making me feel down whenever I'm writing it. Like, I don't want to hurt Akashi this badly but damn I cannot let the opportunity slide. This entire chapter feels like plummeting out of heaven straight to the abyss, and it's only the beginning of the story taking a dramatic turn)

Who can submit work?

This is an open event so everyone can participate!

How do I submit work?

Will an Ao3 Collection be made for this event?

Yes! It’s already created and will be opened a week in advance for submissions: HashiMada Week 2023.

What kind of work will be accepted?

Pretty much anything! Fanart, fics, edits, AMVs, headcanon/meta posts etc. Feel free to send an ask for specific clarification.

A/B/O AUs aren’t allowed, are other kinds of AUs ok?

Yes! No A/B/O AU is a mod preference, other AUs are perfectly fine for any day!

What if I want to write something in your rule’s ‘not allowed’ list?

You are more than welcome to create whatever content you’d like in your personal time, but the ‘not allowed’ list’s purpose is to appeal to a wide audience and our mod’s personal comfort. If you’d like to host your own event with no restrictions at all, we encourage you to do so! However, we will be sticking to our rules for this event.

Is early/late posting allowed?

The event date is to be determined after the results of the interest check. We will continue our ‘sneak peek’ day from last year on June 9th, but no other early posting will be reblogged here until the start of the event.

Late posting will be allowed until the end of July.

What did you say about that sneak-peek/progress check?

One question in our first interest check was about early progress checks. Typically week events don’t have them, but this sounded like a fun option to get people excited during the creation period! Tag any sketches/excerpts/etc. with #hashimadaweek2023sneakpeek on Tumblr or Twitter on June 9th and we’ll reblog it! (You can also @ us too on either platform.) Again, this is 100% optional and if you share a sneak peek, you are not obligated to finish/post the work for the event itself. This is just for fun!

Are dark fics/unhappy endings/tragedy allowed?

Yes! As long as the fic is focused on hashimada and the rest of our rules are followed, feel free to interpret any prompt in the most angsty, heart-wrenching way possible!

Can I reuse old works for this event?

No, sorry! Only new content, please! If there’s another week happening at the same time, cross-posting is allowed as long as our rules are met and hashimada is the focus of the work!

Is there a minimum word count for fics/completion status for fanart?

Nope! Make the fics as long or as short as you want and everything from sketches to full-color artwork will be accepted as long as it’s hashimada themed and follows the rest of the rules.

Can I complete only one prompt or do I need to complete all?

You can do one prompt or all or anything in-between! Do as much or as little as you’d like!

I’m not a native English speaker, so, can I post stuff in Spanish? Thank you! / Are fanfics only allowed in English? / Can I participate if I speak, read and write in Spanish?

We accept works in all languages as long as they are properly tagged and follow our rules!

Are platonic works okay, or does the ship have to be romantic specifically?

This is a ship week event so we are expecting most works will be romantic in nature, but platonic relationships are allowed too!

Depending on participating writers/artists mood…maybe two+ prompts per day, at least one G rated and one M rated would be nice. Is this possible?

There will be three prompts per day (because we couldn’t decide between a few, lol!) In an attempt to make the prompts as broad as possible we don’t have “G” or “M” ratings, but each individual creator is allowed to interpret them however they’d like.

I heard there’d be merch?

Yes! We’re doing stickers this year. Check out the Sticker Merch FAQ for more information!

.

If any tagged work breaks our rules, it will not be reblogged here.

If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Links and stuff

We have a longer FAQ posted on our main page here: https://kakayamaweek2022.tumblr.com/rules

And our prompts are posted here: https://kakayamaweek2022.tumblr.com/prompts

KakaYama Discord server: https://discord.gg/tckZYT3Q7C

Can’t wait to see what everyone creates :)

Answers to the following FAQs under the cut

Does my fic have to be finished to submit it?

Do I have to create for every prompt in each day?

Do I have to create for all seven days?

Do I have to post my work on the right day?

What timezone are you using?

Does my work have to be a fic?

Is this event NSFW?

Does my fic have to be finished to submit it?

No it does not! We ask that you submit a completed chapter (does anyone really post half a chapter anyway?), but if you are submitting one chapter to fill a prompt, you absolutely do not need to finish your entire multichapter fic within KakaYama Week.

Do I have to create for every prompt in each day?

No you do not! There is no minimum work requirement to take part in KakaYama Week. If you write one drabble or draw one sketch that fills one prompt for the whole week, you are a very welcome participant.

Mods have chosen three prompts for each day to a) allow some variety, so there is more opportunity for creators who might not vibe with one prompt, and b) so that creators can choose to use multiple prompts if they want to. There is no requirement to use multiple prompts.

This event is for anyone who loves KakaYama, we want you all to feel enabled and empowered to take part in whatever way you can :)

Do I have to create for all seven days?

See above. No, absolutely not!

I’m not sure if my work fits the prompt, how do I know?

We are not going to police anybody’s work to see how relevant it is to a prompt. The prompts are there as a springboard for creativity more than anything else. If you think your fic fits a prompt, that’s good enough for us!

Do I have to post my work on the right day?

Yes and no. Please don’t submit works early if at all possible (e.g. don’t post a work that fills a day 7 prompt on day 1). However if your work covers multiple days we can relax this rule a little! But if your Day 1 work isn’t finished on time, don’t sweat it! Late entries are perfectly fine.

What timezone are you using?

Don't worry about timezones, please feel free to post your work on the right day according to YOUR timezone. There's going to be a bit of overlap between days as entries are posted (remember late entries are fine!) and that's okay :) After the event we will collect all entries into a master list arranged by day/prompt.

Does my work have to be a fic?

Not at all! Anything you create can be submitted. Including but not limited to: fanfiction, fan art, edits, playlists, mood boards, collages, crochet blankets, poetry, AMVs...you name it!

Is this event NSFW?

Yes, NSFW content is allowed. Check out our full FAQ for a full description of what is/is not allowed. As long as you warn/tag responsibly this is a pretty open event.

栽培 (Cultivation) - Wally Darling Short AMV/Edit  (CW: Scopophobia, Disturbing Imagery, Blood?)

So after going through some of my favorite Utaite playlists a while back, I came across a cover of this song by the Utaite RAY MORRIS and thought to myself, ‘you know, this song and the lyrics really fit this guy, I should mash them together :3′ and now you have this~

That said, seeing as this is the 3rd video I’ve made now, I tried to put a lot of work and effort into it compared to my last edits (to the point I spent almost 3 weeks on it, from editing to getting just the right pictures, etc.), and after FINALLY learning how to use the Tumblr video option, I’m pretty satisfied with how everything turned out, so I hope you enjoy :)

As such, please make sure to heed the content warnings before clicking on the video, and make sure to give a huge thanks to @partycoffin for making this guy because without them Wally nor Welcome Home wouldn’t exist!

Lastly, just like with my Hu Tao edit, nothing in this video belongs to me!!!

The art I used is from both Tumblr and Twitter, and for a complete list of the artists I used as well as a link to their original works along with the name of the song in the video, pls see below:

Original Song: 栽培 (Cultivation) - appy ft. KAFU

Cover by RAY MORRIS, which you can listen to here (pls give it a listen, he did a fantastic job imo and this is one of my favorite covers from him)~

List of Artists Used:

@partycoffin (OFFICIAL ART : pls go check out their amazing art for their wonderful OCs for this ARG)!

@qep0ermint (FAN ART)*

@sealemoons (FAN ART)

@diamondnature2​ (FAN ART)

@ClNsg79 (FAN ART)

@evilhal0 (FAN ART)

@catmochi_ (FAN ART)

@pbpanicbutton (FAN ART)

@then_i_didnt (FAN ART)

*Please note I put the ‘FAN ART’ tag on the other artists because I have seen other accounts impersonating the OG creator, and while I myself am aware of the different fan art used in this video (as well as that these artists made the fan art in question), I just wanted to let others know what is official and what is fan made to avoid making this problem worse.  That said, in addition to checking out the OG creator of Welcome Home, pls consider supporting these wonderful fan art creators too!

#Welcome Home #Kudamono94's Texts #Kudamono94's Leftovers #video w/sound #Creepy #cw: scopophobia #cw: disturbing imagery #cw: blood? #Wally Darling #I hope that this plays okay for everyone! #I have trash internet and while I tried to make sure the video quality was as good as I could make it if Tumblr messed anything up pls let #me know right away and I will try to fix it! #That said seeing as this song fits Wally so well imo I think I might make a full AMV in the future with him set to it if I ever get the #chance/the time to do so! #However while we're on the subject of CeVIO/VOCALOID songs that could fit this series #another song I think would fit him is HAPPY SHAPE by Hachiya Nanashi! Aside from the potential ties to religion/cult themes the song's #music seems to go along with his whole aesthetic as well~ #On that note tho I am aware that some of the official art I used is technically no longer canon so make sure to keep that in mind when #watching the video too! I just included it because the creator is super talented and I loved these pieces too much not to include them

Do you like rereading your favorite fics? Rewatching AMVs on loop? Are there pieces of fanart you never cease to admire?

If a specific fanwork is a source of joy in your life—a comfort read on rainy days, an art piece that inspires you to improve your craft, a cursed YTP that you inflict on every new friend who watches your favorite show—remember that it might be gone tomorrow.

Links can break when people change their screen names or platforms change their inner workings. Fanworks disappear when people delete their accounts, take down their posts, have their posts deleted without warning, or get suspended. Platforms disappear when they can't sustain a profit or when people fail to maintain them. Sometimes you'll get a heads up before your favorite fanwork vanishes; often you won't.

So you might want to smash that motherfucking download button.

Any image in your browser can be downloaded to your computer. That includes fanart! Just right-click it, then click "Save Image As…", then press enter or click "Save". On Tumblr, you can download videos the same way ("Save Video As…", then enter or "Save").

Ctrl + S (or right-clicking anywhere, then clicking "Save Page As…") lets you download an entire webpage. This copies all the current text, images, formatting, etc. into an HTML file, which you can then open in your browser even if you don't have an internet connection, and even if the page is later changed or deleted.

Note that this only works with relatively simple pages, like blog posts. You can't use it to download YouTube videos—for that, you'll need youtube-dl or one of the many "youtube to mp4" sites out there.

If you manage to navigate to a URL ending in .mp3, you can use Ctrl + S to download the audio file.

AO3 has a literal download button which lets you save fics as PDFs, HTML files, or the e-reader file format of your choice. There's no limit to the number of fics you can download.

Obviously, if a creator has deliberately taken down their work, you shouldn't re-upload it to a public space. But there's nothing wrong with keeping a private copy for yourself. And downloading fanworks is actively good as a protective measure against corporate censorship and digital decay.

#the wayback machine is also fantastic but this post is long enough #uh not really sure what to tag this #fandom #fandom meta #ao3 #mine

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

(forwarding optional)

lol I knew you would send this to me after I reblogged yours <3 Pretty much all of this you know about already, but here goes. I'll hit up my different interests one by one. Putting it all under a Read More because boy this gets long!

For video editing, it's sort of a mixed bag. I have some manga MEP tracks I'm quite proud of, notably my double tracks for the No Place Like Home MEP and the (very very old) animation action MEP. The latter in particular I'm proud of, because I was still pretty new to editing with manga and VERY new to animation.

For full-length videos, I have three in particular that stand out to me. First is the one I'm famous for, the one that apparently made hundreds of people cry and I guess will be the capstone of my editing career. Still mad that it got uploaded to an AMV hub which stole millions of views from MY upload of my OWN video but I digress (at least that channel is gone now, KARMA!) It's nowhere up to my editing standards today, but it still holds a special place in my heart. Then there's the Princess Tutu AMV I made years ago that got blocked on YouTube, so it's only available her on Tumblr (in trashed quality of course, thanks Tumblr). That one I'm proud of because there's so much masking and transition work that's hardly noticeable at all, which I felt was an achievement. The final one I'm partial to because I made it for you, wifey, with Hyouka because we both love it a lot. I ended up submitting it to cons almost as an afterthought. This one was hard because, as you recall, the files got corrupted and I had to re-edit the entire thing in under 2 days in order to make the deadlines. The final product isn't as good as the original version as a result, but I still love it. This one also was tough because of all the crazy masking and transition work I did. I recall some judge at a con saying it was a "basic" video and me cackling in response because little did they know that some scenes in that AMV are composited entirely and didn't exist at all in the show. Shows what some people know about editing!

For fic writing, I won't take into account any of my old works. For me, those are all dead and buried. I can't rightly claim the fic I'm working on right now, since, you know, it's not done yet, but I feel it has potential to be one of my best. In the meantime, I'll go with my Saria and Link fic that acted as a psychic relief valve for my pain over OoT. I banged this one out in, what, two days or so? I felt like a wrung-out sponge after lmao. Still worth it~

And for my final form of content creation, we come to my coloring. I haven't actually colored in years outside of the palette challenge that was popular years back. Here, here, and here are some of my favorite palette challenges I did. I have some much older pieces that I still like -- I think the most recent one of these is 6 years old already???-- and I'll put them here since it's under a Read More anyway:

And that's it! Thanks for the ask my dear <3 I appreciate it!

to the anon who came to me a few days ago looking for the hollyleaf ugly side amv: i found the video link, but it's been deleted. see this post archiving the existence of it (but unfortunately it was an embed and not a reupload, so it's lost on that front). the post's source link is the youtube video, but it's broken because it seems the creator's channel, grimdark69, was deleted entirely, alongside their tumblr, twitter, and newgrounds. the short-lived twitter (assuming it was them) has a lot of archives but umm i'm not looking through all that for info crumbs lol. there are archive snapshots of the youtube channel and newgrounds as well but they aren't useful.

there's a deviantart account of the same name that has been active as recently as 2020, possibly even 2021. in addition to the name, i'm led to believe it's the same person based on all the pokémon content there since the only archive snapshot of their tumblr shows interest in pokémon. i would try contacting this account.

i found some montage videos including clips from grimdark69's animations: LGDC - Happy at 2:20 LGDC - Pelage de Granit at 2:57 and a few other animation crumbs that i know for sure aren't relevant

also found this video which claims to be a reupload of a MAP grimdark69 hosted, the description confirming that the grimdark69 account and videos were deleted in 2013-2014 by my estimates. you could try contacting them to see if they saved ugly side as well; they seem somewhat active on twitter.

anyways. that's all i got. unless you can get a response from that deviantart account or find someone who downloaded it back in the day... it's gone

#i hope that anon sees this. it was counterproductive to send on anon which left me no way to contact them about these findings 😭 #well google led me to twitter where (i assume) the same person was looking for the video too. but i would rather die than make a twitter #so out into the void this goes! #lost media #warriors #wotf #hollyleaf #blue october #ugly side #bluh

do you allow people to repost or to reuse your work with proper credit?

Good day!

It's a good question, thank you for asking!

1) I have accounts on various platforms (Tumblr, Twitter, Pixiv, DeviantArt, Vkontakte, Instagram, Pinterest, Weibo, Lofter, Tik-tok) so I do not approve reposts/reuploads of my art on these platforms. You can find all links here

In case you are interested in posting my art on some other platforms - DM me.

If you are too shy to DM me (but why? I don't bite) pls give proper credits ( 'credits to author' is not a proper credit :) and provide active links to Twitter or Tumblr.

2) I strongly disapprove of editing/adding filters to my art, as well as cropping them and removing watermarks. Moreover, I should say that such manipulations hurt me much more than posting without asking. Colors, tones, contrast are all parts of my art, I spend hours creating a piece of art I have in my head and when I see my pic edited, I consider it disrespectful handling =(

3) I hope it goes without saying, anywayI do not approve commercial use of my art or any parts of it, as well as mass reprinting and selling prints.

However fell free to print my art for personal non-profit use.

4) You can use my art as profile pics and covers on your social nets. Tag me if possible :)

5) I don't approve of editing my arts into other ships (there was the case of editing my arts into NejiTen, lol) - it doesn't hurt me, but I think it's a childish behavior. If you want an art with your fav ship - look for this ship art or order a commission or donate to an artist that draws your fav ship so that they can draw more. Or at least like/comment on their art to encourage them.

In case you do such a silly thing bc you...I don't know...want to share it with your friends in private chats - keep it private and make sure your 'art' won't leak to the Internet.

6) Fanfic covers: my general position is that I do not approve some tropes in NejiHina fanfiction, such as Neji treating Hinata disrespectfully, romanticizing of verbal and physical abuse, r_pe, excessive violence between Neji and Hinata, so I do not want my art be associated with such things and fanfics.

If you want you use my art for your fanfic cover and your fic DOESN'T include any things mentioned above - DM me. Btw I would be grateful if you share your fic with me, I’m reading NejiHina fics from time to time and I think it is important for creators to support and encourage each other =)

7) Tik-tok videos/AMVs -you can use my art providing proper credits.

8) In case you are reading this years/decades after I wrote it and there are no updates on my accs for years - feel free to repost my art with credits. I was in the fandom in 2006 and I returned to it in 2021 and I see that many creators from the past are not in the fandom anymore for some reasons. But I think it is important to keep their art alive by posting, spreading and not forgetting it. Respectful handling is essential. Art is immortal.
