#the swap names don't have actual tags so canon ones it is
Good Omens Theories
My Personal General Speculations:
There will be a second kiss between Aziraphale & Crowley, if only to make up for the violent nature of the first one.
Aziraphale & Crowley will absolutely NOT be having sex or be revealed to have had sex in the past, both neither implied nor explicitly. I mean have you ever listened to anything Neil Gaiman ever said about them. And also that's what fan-fiction is for.
There will be no apology dances that relate to the final fifteen. (Past ones like the one in 1941 are fair game, also present ones if they're about something else, like Crowley leaves the toilet seat up or Azirphale dents the Bentley.)
There will be a 1941 Flashback Part III (I mean something is clearly missing so far).
Crowley's angel name will only be revealed if it becomes plot relevant. (But if you tag speculation about it judgmentally with "deadname" I'm blocking you on sight.)
Season 3 will end in the garden of their South Downs cottage, possibly with a nightingale singing.
Theories I like/believe are closer than anyone elses:
The Magic Trick Theory*
-> Similar but with Time Loops
Crowley is up to something in 2x02
Crowley was Raphael** (see notes & entries under "Angel Names", I think Crowley was probably Kokabiel. Not sure if the latter is really going to be important, though.)
Aziraphale is Raphael** (see "Angel Names" section, entry "Israfil")
Theories I dislike and/or don't believe in:
The Coffee-Theory***
The Body Swap Theory****
Aziraphale was acting under duress and sending secret signals during the Final Fifteen***
Crowley was Raphael (see above)
Crowley was Lucifer (Thankgod Neil already pulled the plug on that one.)
Adam is Jesus (He is the literal ANTI-christ!)
Crowley was Mary Magdalene (I mean he surely tempted Jesus with more than just all the kingdoms of the world, if ya know what I mean, and I genuinely hope that will lead to interesting situations in season 3, but that doesn't automatically mean he was Mary Magdalene.)
Mine:
No, I am not letting this miracle / box thing go.
Important Clues / Props / Rules:
Crowley's changing sideburns (& more in-depth)
Crowley's changing sunglasses
Bookshop Clock Time Skips
Clocks and Time Discrepancies
Not discontinuity but continued elsewhere
Continued scene from S2E2 to S2E3
The Secret Timeline of Season 2
The Rules of the Twist
Chiastic Structure S1
Chiastic Structure S2
Blocking
Title Sequence Analysis
Aziraphale's Illustrated Bible
Aziraphale's Documents in the Box
Document on Aziraphale's Table
Musical clues (bells)
Miracle chimes comparison
The Tales of Hoffmann
Possibly Relevant Angel Names:
Israfil (sounds a bit like Aziraphale, angel blowing the trumpet to signal the end of the world & closest to God in Islam; the Christian equivalent would be Raphael, who apparently partly inspired Aziraphale's name.)
Kokabiel (Hebrew angel who fell, connected with stars and star making, most likely possibility for Starmaker!Crowley)
Baraquiel (mentioned in Hell's book of angels directly under Aziraphale, another possibility for Crowley's former angel identity)
Muriel becomes Abaddon (??? Apocryphal Texts, present at the Last Judgement and the Resurrection of Jesus)
Azrael (a. k. a. Death, as canon in book & show, listed here for exclusion reasons)
~asteriks under the cut~
*= While the theory's details hinge too much on its assumption (i. e. guess) on how the Book Of Life works, the idea that we will learn something in season 3 that completely reframes what we think we have seen in season 2 is almost a given. There will have been some sort of "magic trick".
**= Next to Gabriel & Michael, Raphael is the only other archangel we actually know by name. So that's a glaring omission from the show. And whether it turns out to be Crowley or not, I'm sure we will learn about Raphael and his conspicuous absence in season 3.
***= It takes agency away from Aziraphale, even though his actions are completely in line with his history and characterization so far, and nullifies all emotions experienced by the characters as well as the audience during the final scenes.
****= Both Neil Gaiman & John Finnemore are too good to pull the same trick twice. Yes, even if it's a variation. C'mon, give them some credit!
(I will edit this post when something changes or someone comes up with something new.)

there Are something of intro posts for the characters, though they've evolved a lot over time (originally the Anemoi Iterators were just not a thing, the only one i was meant to have was Fish with Zephyr serving only as a little neat backstory for one of the scugs connected to Fish. so Zeph especially has had a lot of evolution done to her character)

(not canon, except the Haboob comic at the beginning) • Zephyr and Moon swap as a characterization exercise that got a lil outta hand (not canon, but neat either way) • A continuation of the above, with Looks to the Moon in the Eo group + some talking about Abet Zephyr as a person • Fooling around with the concept of Zephyr knowing Pebbles, but then big explanation of Mission Self-preservation aka the biggest thing happening in the OC lore • "Can Euros run Doom?" • How did Caper of Euros and Three Sparrows get together romantically • Caper of Euros' priorities the lil comic • "What is Euros like during a Hivemind unsync?" + Three Sparrows the treasured component • Euros and Sparrows married?? • Caper of Euros' first case of the Rot • post 1st Rot reconcilation between the lovebirds • "Did Euros' entire Lab have to be rebuilt after the eradication of the 1st Rot?" • Sparrows' deathbed • Sparrows' Memory Crypt beef (x)• "Who's older? Notos or Haboob?" + Euros 'n Haboob's relationship • Gushing about the ending of the playlist for the group (link to the playlist itself here) • some Tinkerer and the Scavs fooling around content • tiny Seafarer post • what happened between Seafarer and Artificer? why were they separated?

Something I find really confusing - and it could be because I'm new to reading fanfic and actually interacting with people outside of fanart - is the Undertale fandom being cool with AUs that radically change things like role-swap AUs, inverted morality AUs, 1920's mob AUs, etc., and then getting annoyed when someone has a fic set in the canon universe that doesn't have every. single. detail. match canon. As in, they're fine with a 1600's Mages and Monsters Integrated World AU and don't comment on it being different from canon, but they get annoyed at and comment in a negative way on someone who says the Underground wouldn't have milk because milk is mentioned once in one line by Mettaton, to name an actual example I've seen.
Is this a common thing for fandoms? Because maybe I'm just me but I kind of don't care if someone says "there wasn't milk underground because the Underground wasn't able to sustain livestock" and don't think that warrants leaving a comment demanding the author explain themselves or asking the author to tag it as canon divergent. Also everything post-canon is canon-divergent, so I feel like the tag is implied?
I feel very much like I'm in another culture struggling to understand local viewpoints, here. Why is this happening and also what exactly is the problem?
--
Some people are annoying weirdos, and Undertale fandom is full of drama?
I don't think there's a sensible explanation here.

Writing Year Wrapped (2023)
Ooh, thank you for the tag @sallysavestheday!
3 Favorite Fics You've Written This Year:
Of course we have to go with my current obsession, And In The Darkness To Unmake Them, an as-canon-compliant-as-possible Fellowship-AU that asks, what would happen if Celebrimbor got himself re-embodied and came back to Middle-earth to try and make up for his mistakes by helping to destroy the One Ring (and brought all his unhealed trauma with him)? Plus a slow-burn romance for Legolas and Gimli, a whole lot of delicious world-building for Mirkwood, and a more active role for Arwen too!
Five Times Gimli Died (and One Time He Didn't) is, I think, despite the simplistic and trope-y title, one of the most elegant things I've ever written, and I am very much in love with it. It's the story of Gimli and Legolas's romance, from beginning to end (well...not really end, because the joy of them is that they're a story that doesn't end—Gimli Immortality Agenda, you can't stop me!—but the story ends with the beginning of their happily-ever-after, which is a sort of end, no?), told in a series of scenes that takes place from Moria to the Undying Lands, and could almost slip right in between the pages of canon if you squint enough to overlook a little bit of meddling from Mahal on behalf of his new favorite dwarf (don't tell Durin).
To Live In Undying Lands is a series of snippets set in Aman after Legolas and Gimli cross the Sea, focused on both their new life there and that of our beloved Hobbits who went over before. And I went back and forth several times deciding whether to swap the placement of this one and Last Temptation... below, but I ultimately think that was a bit more of a stretch than this one, despite the fact that I Never Write Hobbits and am writing quite a lot of Hobbits for this one, and also I Never Write Snippets Without An Overarching Plot—and because I'm such a sucker for Gimleaf that if I have to pick a favorite between any two comparable stories, it's always going to be the one with them in it! (Also: Gimli Immortality Agenda, always!)
3 Fics That Stretched You the Most:
Dead Faces In The Water; Dead Faces Everywhere - I don't write present tense, I don't write modern AUs, and I don't write zombie stories...but here I am, writing all three at once! (Thanks, @katajainen! This story is 1/3 your fault, 1/3 @roselightfairy and @deheerkonijn's fault, and 1/3 Mira Grant's lol. And you were the inciting incident, so you get first blame!) And somehow having a great time doing it! (So much world building! I'm in paradise!)
The Last Temptation of Narvi of Khazad-dûm - probably one of the most overtly ambitious stories I've ever done. It's likewise in present-tense, although that's considerably less daunting now after almost forty chapters of zombies; but there were a lot of other balls to juggle on this story, including my first time properly writing both of the main characters as well as anything set in Ost-in-Edhil; and of skirting right up against the line of how close it came to all ending differently and making that (hopefully) feel almost like it could have gone differently and avoided all that tragedy in a way that, hopefully, both satisfies and distresses the reader.
And (I suppose this is a bit of a give-away, but it's not like I tried very hard to hide anyway; the anonymity is mainly designed to make people feel more comfortable offering con-crit, which I have no idea if it actually helped or not but I did get some lovely and helpful feedback on it, so I'm going to say the tactic has been a success) definitely Cliffside Revelations, which has the honor of being my very first explicit smut fic...even if most of the smut is an excuse for world building, which I'm sure shocks all of you lmao!
(And sneaking in an honorable mention of On The Far Side of the Sundering Sea, because my name isn't on the previous one so it probably doesn't technically count...which means I can slip in an extra story as a technicality, right? Right. Shhh, it's fine!)
3 Favorite Lines You've Written (loosely interpreting "lines" as sallysavestheday has cleverly demonstrated):
Oh this is difficult. Most of my best lines are only their best because of the context around them; and it's hard to remember them as distinct lines after their sections have been finished and posted. But this does at least save favorite and not best, so that helps; let's give it a try, then.
First, from Five Times Gimli Died (and One He Didn't) we have a moment of a revelation on Gimli's part, as he discovers that his heart might not be as alien to his Maker as he feared it was:
He stood in silence, staring at the unseen form of he who had made all Dwarves; of the Maker of stone and rock and mighty mountain. Mahal, who had made the Dwarves…Mahal, who loved the green.
This is one that definitely needs the context to make it work, so we're including the whole preceding paragraph from Blows Uncounted, a little AU-take on Helm's Deep where either the uruks are stronger or Gandalf is slower, and the battle has a darker ending.
For Legolas was not simply any elf: he was an elf of Mirkwood. Taur-ne-Fuin, the forest under nightshade; Taur-e-Ndaedelos, the forest of great fear. These orcs and uruks of Isengard, used to preying on earnest horse-lords and forthright farmers, had never met an elf of his sort before. Their northern kin could have told them stories of what befell orcs beneath the black boughs of Mirkwood…but orcs did not often come alive from those dark woods, not at least without Nazgûl to guard their travels.
And there were no Nazgûl here.
And taking a complete one-eighty in tone from the previous, I am quite inexcusably delighted with this one from Honeysuckle and Cider, and still giggle to myself whenever I re-read it:
"Uh," says Aragorn, son of Arathorn, King of Gondor, first of the House Telcontar.
(The line after it definitely qualifies as a runner-up, but I do think this one beats it out. Sorry, Faramir!)
Actually there's one other line I really wanted to put in here, even more than the one about the Nazgûl, but I'm not going to, because it's the very last line of the story it appears in, and reading it before you read that story would suck all the wind out of its sails, I think; so if you want to know what that is, you'll have to go read The Last Temptation of Narvi of Khazad-dûm for yourself.
3 Characters You Enjoyed Writing (that surprised you):
Anntar (Sauron), actually! I got to play with him as more than just a Menacing Presence in The Last Temptation of Narvi of Khazad-dûm and oh, he was so much fun! This was Sauron in full-on seducing-the-Gwaith-i-Mírdain mode, with maybe just a hint of how he actually wanted to be stopped, so that he could let the schemes for world-domination go and just be happy here with his smith-lovers...or maybe that was all wishful thinking on Narvi's part. Regardless, it was great fun to play with both failed and successful manipulations here, as well as to actually write something with my new favorite OT3.
Boromir may have come as even more of a shock to me, actually. I very quickly went from "distant fondness but very little interest" in Boromir to taking great delight in him, thanks in largest part to Dead Faces in the Water, Dead Faces Everywhere (and a little bit to Two Fell Into Shadow, although most of that was written or at least sketched-out earlier; but I'm counting it, because I don't think I realized how much fun he was fifteen years ago or so when I was writing it initially). Also, of course, his part in And In The Darkness To Unmake Them, although I haven't gotten to the point of posting any of his Grey Company chapters yet (shhh). He's such a wonderful sort of "I did not sign up for any of this; I have no idea what's happening; but I Am Participating Anyway!" sort of character, dragged out of his element commanding Minas Tirith's armies (where he's an extremely competent and confident fellow) and tossed into this baffling world of weirdness full of elves and magic and nonsense, for which he is so ill-equipped and ill-prepared. And yet he gamely goes along with it, because it needs doing! Whatever the fuck it is! He has no idea!
And last but certainly not least: Gimli, although this one may be less of a surprise; but it was a surprise to me how often I ended up writing from his perspective. I did not expect that, because I'm much more interested in elves (especially Mirkwood elves) than I am dwarves in general, and I've done a lot less world-building (a lot less) for Erebor than I have Mirkwood; but it's so much fun using Gimli as "the sensible perspective" (as well as an excuse to get really flowery with my wording sometimes, shhh!), not to mention an extremely astute and observant one, that he makes for a very addictive viewpoint character. I actually ended up having to make a conscious effort to switch to Legolas's pov sometimes, in fact, because it was so easy and charming to fall into Gimli's head and stay there! That was definitely a surprise to me.
3 Unexpected Inspirations:
This fucking dream! I still don't know what the hell happened to me that night, but it sure was unique and extremely unexpected!
And quite startling was the time where seeing the Legolas-always-looks-back-for-Gimli gif-post from the LotR movies cross my tumblr dash right to an Orpheus-and-Eurydice poll basically popped this whole-ass story fully formed into my head in one big rush of inspiration. Although the same thing happened with this post and And His Hands Ran With Gold and Shadow, so maybe I should stop thinking "random post on tumblr" is unexpected inspiration...
And uhhh....this XD
3 WIPs You're Excited About in the Upcoming Year:
And His Hands Ran With Gold and Shadow which I swear I will get back into working-on as soon as I get some of my other ongoing stuff finished, because I absolutely adore it! and I definitely want to write more on it! very much so! but the vibes required for writing it are so different from the other stuff that it's hard to switch back-and-forth between it and them (same goes for the zombie-fic).
An As-Yet-Untitled story set many, many, many years after the end of the War of the Ring in the Undying Lands, where our three beloved Hobbits (and one Dwarf) living on those timeless shores discuss their mortal lives, and decide when and whether to let them end.
The sequel to The Dark Reborn, because I am at some point going to drag my brain back into the galaxy far, far away enough to start reading and writing Star Wars fic again, and I fucking will finish this fucking awesome sequel trilogy fic I started, kriff it!!!

Please expand upon the things you recently said in some tags about the pachinko games and the timeline?
OKAY, SO! As we all know, Konami loves their casino games, and Castlevania in particular has a whole wealth of them. From pachislots to actual slots, something particularly curious is that the vast majority of these machines seem to be based around the 1470s; or rather, mostly just Curse of Darkness.
For the purposes of this discussion there are 9 relevant machines: - Pachislot Akumajo Dracula (Trevor) - Pachislot Akumajo Dracula II (Trevor) - Pachislot Akumajo Dracula III (Trevor) - Castlevania Labyrinth of Love (Trevor) - Castlevania Labyrinth of Fire (Trevor) - Castlevania Vampire Hunter (Trevor)
- Castlevania Valiant Guardian (Hector) - Castlevania Ring of the Heavens (Hector) - Castlevania Warrior of Darkness (Hector)
Most if not all of these machines follow a very basic plot: Dracula is revived. Trevor/Hector has to make their way to/through Dracula's Castle and defeat Dracula. This is about all the detail that really matters. As you can see, there are a lot of these things. Counting each one as a completely separate adventure from the mainline games for each character, Trevor gets approximately 5 more Dracula kills under his belt. I don't think I need to explain why this is absolutely hilarious. If you're wondering why it's 5 and not 6, this is because Labyrinth of Love and Labyrinth of Fire are both the same adventure -- this is also true for Valiant Guardian and Ring of the Heavens, in Hector's case, although this would mean that Hector only gets 2 more Dracula kills. Unfortunately, he's not as popular as dear Trevor. However, there are some caveats; most of these machines either depict the exact same events, just with the protagonists swapped (the slot games, literally all the slot games), or some act as reworkings of canon events (most of the pachislots, just about barring Pachislot Akumajo Dracula II). This makes it a bit more questionable how much we can really attribute to any one character. That is, if you don't believe in comedy. For all I care, it's perfectly possible that Isaac came back exactly once and fucked with Trevor for kicks, or that Alucard woke up just the one time to go help Trevor and Sypha kick Dracula's teeth in (although the Grant Discrepancy is unfortunately real and true). In a similar vein, although the slot machines are usually just alternates of eachother for each character, I Want To Believe that they're all separate and yes, Dracula just got revived in the late 15th century that many times. It's funny and it makes me happy.
Angela is a character made specifically for Pachislot Akumajo Dracula I and II. She serves the role of Trevor's companion, basically, and if I needed to describe her it'd be as a bootleg Shanoa. A very, very bootleg Shanoa with way, way, more fanservice to her name. In Pachislot Akumajo Dracula II, she gets corrupted by... I think an evil cursed choker or something? and replaces Isaac as your rival for the machine. She has no substance, of course, because she's from a Pachislot. But I could fix her. She can be Trevor's weird other friend from the Church. Let me have this.
As a closing mention, the Dracula X Chronicles Pachinko, or Rondo of Blood but it's really just Dracula X Chronicles (CR Pachinko Akumajo Dracula), also has an Angela-type new addition! Her name is Victoria Florescu, she's a swordswoman who is apparently looking for her younger sister who has disappeared. She, much like Angela, almost completely lacks any substance.
There's no way I'd seriously try to argue these little gems are anywhere near canon, or even vaguely reasonable. But for the purposes of just some silly fun? I love the idea that they all happened, if only for the comedic potential.

Weekly Tag Wednesday
thanks @mybrainismelted, @mmmichyyy, @deedala & @energievie for tagging me! these questions are slowly getting more personal and controversial LOL
1. If you could switch bodies with anybody for only one hour who would it be and what would you do?
Anyone. This is way too deep but I rly want to switch bodies with someone because from as young as I could remember, I'm scared of solipsism being true. I don't understand why I'm the one controlling this body - why am I the main character to me? Since I'm only aware of my own consciousness I want to make sure that other people are real people. But I guess I'll switch with one of my friends because I don't trust strangers with my body lol
2. What's your most trivial / dumbest hot take?
People complain too much about ads, they aren't that bad. I just ignore them
3. If you had to teach a college course what would it be in?
Literature analysis
4. Season 12 of shameless is suddenly happen and youve been put in charge! what plot point(s) are you gonna make happen?
No pls <3 I mean I already answered in the gallavich questionaire what I want their specific future to be, and if they have a spin off I want them to adapt @/arrowflier's Meet the Neighbors fic with @/sam-loves-seb's post-canon whumptober fics added in, but for a whole other season? I feel like the writing will actually be demolished with not enough content to base off of, so why not do specials like Christmas, Halloween, game night, maybe even weirder ones like................body swap :3
5. Who would be your godly parent? (can be any mythology).
Athena
6. What’s something you love about yourself?
My imagination?
7. Describe your day in 5 emojis:
🏐🙋‍♀️🎨🤝😫

10. Do you have a pet(s). if so how did they get their name?
No
11. Show us a meme (or picture) that captures your essence
Tumblr media
12. Whats your typical coffee / tea / beverage order?
I don't order beverages
13. Use a song to describe the last 5 years of your life?

you rb something from my art account and mentioned some marina, and not to be nosy but who the hell is that
oh boy, strap in for a loooong story. I was gonna answer this privately because i just know she can sniff her name out in a crowd and will come for me, but I saved it as a draft and because tumblr is such a marvel of technology now there's no option to answer privately anymore so 🙃 Gonna put this under a cut. Fandom drama ahead.
Basically Marina is a a user who has been involved in a lot of fandom drama (that she keeps starting). She ships Roche with Ciri, and I assume she's a monoshipper (or whatever you call the opposite of multiship) because she can't get it into her head that other people ship different things. She insists that Ciri is the one true partner for Roche, and has been going around harassing people who ship Roche with other characters, mostly Iorveth, because that's the most popular pairing for him, but I've also gotten some flak for shipping him with Geralt. On the other side she goes around to people who ship Ciri with other characters as well, most prominently whenever people have wlw ships for her (Marina is homophobic, it's clear from some of the asks she sends).
Tumblr media
Lots of people are uncomfortable with Roche/Ciri (Or VernonCiri, as is the ship name she uses) because of the big age gap, and more specifically the fact that Ciri is only barely out of her teens (I've got some age gap ships myself, since that's just a thing that happens in a fandom with characters that reach supernaturally high ages, but where I get uncomfortable is when characters that aren't quite settled into adulthood are involved, and Ciri is shown throughout especially the third game to still be quite immature in a lot of aspects)
Anyway, this aversion some people show really grates on Marina, and she keeps insisting that people's refusal to ship something equals harassment and "throwing shit" at her ship, when really I've not seen many instances of people actually talking badly about her ship outside of trying to explain why they don't ship it.
Marina has a habit of stalking the tags of Roche and Ciri, as well as rorveth, cirys, vesiri, many of the ships she doesn't like, and then sending hate to the people who post things she doesn't like. I assume this is what happened on your art blog, since when i went down it and found the old ask she sent you, you'd posted a picture of Roche and Iorveth before that, and I think she just assumes it's ship art whenever those two are shown together, regardless of context. She'll often say things about ships not being canon (funnily enough neither is hers, but whatever), Roche or Ciri not being gay, or asking why X ship and not VernonCiri. She also keeps insisting that her ship is not pedophilia, which none of us ever claimed it was, so.
She's also sent explicit modded screenshots of her ships to people unprompted (and by explicit i mean nsfw), has taken credit for other people's mods, as well as plagiarised a friend of mine's edits by recreating the set of images exactly except with the models swapped out, with no mention of any "inspiration" or credit. Over on twitter she quote retweeted a fic summary i'd tweeted, copied the summary and swapped out the character names, then blocked me so I couldn't see, and when called out for it tried to claim that wasn't plagiarism and that I shouldn't take it so seriously.
Tumblr media
This whole thing got to the point my friend made a callout post because there was just so much harassment going on across so many different throwaway blogs, anon messages, and even different platforms. If you want to see everything she's done (or did up to the point that post was made) here's a masterpost with all the receipts.
I've left out a huge chunk of happenings, but if you wanna know more, or want to chat, feel free to DM me. Also sorry you got involved in all of this 💀

WIP Game
No one tagged me, I tagged myself in because I want to and you can't stop me =P And I'm tagging everyone who sees this that writes! Do it! Dooo iiit!
Rules: In a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I don't actually have a WIP folder, I have WIP folders, plural. So, I'm adding a rule that I can't have posted any of the fic online anywhere for it to qualify, and I also have to have worked on it some time in the last... four years?
Let's see if that keeps me below the 50 fics mark (place your bets now)...

Aaand the total comes to 90! At least it's less than a 100... And that's just the stuff I've worked on recently! (Yes, four years is recent. I have fics I haven't actually touched in 6+ years that are still marinating in my brain, waiting for the pieces to fall into place) If you've trawled through all of those to get here, you've got more stamina than I do!
Please ask about anything that piques your interest! I'd love to talk about some of these, see if it gets the creative juices flowing. (Also feel free to ask about any of the WIPs I have posted on here or Ao3!)

anybody who knows of my personality swap au, would you like to help me out with some plot decisions?
The most important one is ships. I already have dream & nightmare (& means not romantic btw) but i wanted to have an actual romantic relationship or two. here are just three I was thinking of, if you got any ideas feel free to add on. Fruit punch (dream X ink X blue) This is the least likely ship to be added because I wanted Dream and Blue to have a more brotherly vibe to them, but I'm not gonna fully veto it just yet. errorink (error X ink ) this ship would be very background oriented, but would make for some fun dialogue, I'm thinking they would constantly switch between acting married or wanting to off each other.
Cream (cross X dream) This is very possible, especially with Cross' role (spoilers~) in this story.
Another thing I wanted a bit of help with is feedback on characterization. I was planning on making error closer to his canon self, more smiley and surprisingly nice but still crazy as fuck, but if people prefer I can have him act as his fanon self, more grouchy and sweary. and I wanted to make Killer the more feral crazy version of himself, a proper mischief-maker.
if anyone has read the fic, I would appreciate it if you could give me feedback on how I've written Dream and Nightmare so far, cause I don't wanna make my own au feel nonsensical.
Finally, I will be tagging all the personality swap au stuff as the fic name 'This solar eclipse' so it can be easier to find.

I think you'd make good money if you turned one of your fics into an original story by changing the names and such. I have seen people go WILD on social media over the most poorly written abusive-alpha-knots-his-true-mate smut that somehow got published into an actual book. But your writing and sex scenes would drive a lot more people insane, you write so well!
That is so sweet of you! I'm so glad that that you enjoy my writing. It really is incredibly flattering to hear that people think I could write at a professional level. <3 Now, allow me to explain why I'll never, ever do this.
When I write fanfiction, I try my best to keep characters in character. I know that seems obvious, but back in the day there used to be a slash tag used called ATG (Any Two Guys/Girls) indicating that you could swap out the characters involved with just about anyone and not change a thing. I want to avoid that. I want the characters to be so recognizably them to the point if the names were changed due to some bizarre posting accident, people would still be able to point and go, "Oh, that's X and Y."
(On a slight tangent, you'll also find most of my fics are usually Alternate Reality/Canon or Missing Scene rather than Alternate Universes. I personally find toying with canon incredibly satisfying, seeing how much can be changed in small increments while still keeping everything recognizable (mostly in the service of two hotties boning down, lol). This is, of course, the entire premise of the Every First Time series where I do my best to merely tweak the events in episodes rather than make broad changes. That isn't to say I don't do true AUs at all (I have several on the back-burner in fact, and one of my favorite things that I've written is still Cuckoos in Glass Houses), but I'm unlikely to do, say, a straight-up Coffee Shop AU anytime soon.)
Let me be clear, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with AUs or ATG-type fics! Write what you want! It's cool! But what attracts me to fanfiction in the first place is reading stories about characters I already know and love. To me, that's the whole point. So while it may be possible to do the ol' CTRL+H, without a lot of work I still think it'd be really obvious what I've done. As someone who also writes original fiction, I don't think that's the mark of well done story. In original fiction, I think characters should belong to their books so to speak. And while the bar can be pretty low at times (as you rightfully pointed out), I want my stuff to be a little better than that if I can manage it, especially if I'm going to slap my real name on there. If I do have an initially have idea for a fic that later I realize would be suitable for publishing, that story will never, ever see the light of day in fanfiction form.
And, of course, there's the fact that I still struggle immensely with writing anything that's multi-chaptered (fanfiction or original fiction), so making sweet, sweet bank on smutty romance is still a distant dream until I can get my act together. T_T

Hi! A few questions for the writer ask game (not sure if you’ve answered these already, so I put four, you don’t need to answer them all)
📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?
🕶️ What helps you focus when you write?
🧪 Do you research for your fics?
Fanfic Writer Ask Game
📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?
Yes! I've actually been planning a number of original stories for a few years. There's two main ones which are...
Commoners Die In One Hit: My take on an isekai story where a class of high schoolers and their teacher are transported to a fantasy world. They have to work together to survive in this hostile world.
I actually based this concept off of me being bored and rolling stats for a bunch of Dungeon Crawl Classics characters. The first part of the story is structured like a DCC funnel, where a bunch of characters go in and only a handful of characters come out.
Guilded Cage: Five assassins, each belonging to a major guild, are sent to a dinner to uphold an ancient treaty between the guilds preventing them from going to war. Unfortunately, the guilds all sent their worst members, because it turns out that one of the attendees has to die to uphold the treaty.
It'll probably be a while till I start on either of these (and the names might change along the way) since I've still got fanfiction I want to write first.
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?
You know, I was just thinking I needed to update my fanfic rec list. Honestly, there's way too many I want to recommend, so I'll just pick my top three four.
A Witch in Wartwood (and it's sequel) by Discet (@discet)
This fic! Oh man... This is the fic that got me back into writing! It got me hooked on swap AUs! It is the fic of all time.
The Oracle Bakery by freakxwannaxbe (@freakystrashdump)
I never thought I'd be enjoying an OC fic this much, yet here I am recommending it. Most notable for me for having the best Belos characterization I've read. Also, I really like the worldbuilding of Oracle magic, which doesn't have a huge amount of focus in canon.
Moonshadow by A_E_redacted (@a-e-redacted)
Canon divergence ahoy! A fun story about the Collector getting adopted by Eda. I just like the Collector.
Tag Team AU (@toh-tagteam-au) by YogurtHoops
A comic, not a fanfic, but still one of the most fun swap AUs I've read. I mean, I enjoyed it enough to write a fanfic based on it, so... I really like it.
And what the heck, I'll recommend Fighting the Stars by FruitDragon as well.
🕶️ What helps you focus when you write?
Music! I've got a whole bunch of playlists that I put on in the background while I write. I have one playlist full of the Yuru Camp soundtrack that never fails to put me in the zone for writing really angsty scenes.
I also make sure to keep myself hydrated and fed with snacks (my fav is frozen raspberries).
🧪 Do you research for your fics?
Of course! Whenever I'm writing, I'll usually have the relevant fan wiki open in another tab for quick reference. And if anything comes up that might require specialized knowledge, I'll do my best to search it out.
I mostly work with fics that don't require too much research, but it does come up from time to time.

30 days fictionkind challenge
Tumblr media
but all in one post because if i do it day per day i'll probably forget about it

7: What was your introduction to fictionkin?
tikok people, unfortunately...
8: Are you similar to your fictotype in personality? How so?

9: Are you similar to your fictotype in appearance? How so?
again, assuming you mean canon, EEEH, most of them are skinny white boys with short hair, so, nope
10: Link to/tag your favorite fictionkin Tumblr
one, two and three! (the third one support endo systems, but i generally agree with their opinions and love the advice they give)
11: Have you ever met other fictionkin? In real life or online?
just online, and some of my mutuals here are ^^
12: Have you ever met canonmates? In real life or online? How did it go?
i have known 2, but i always end up cutting contact with them because, i'm not good socializing suffer
13: Have you ever met doubles? In real life or online? How well did you get along?
not a single one... I LOVE DOUBLES SO MUCH, doubles pls interact

yes and no
18: Does fictionkinity connect to neurodivergence for you?
i'm questioning some neurodivergences (points at autism and bpd), generally i don't think so? but my dissociation, derealization and depersonalization affects a lot of my identity, including my fictionhood
19: Do other people notice your similarity to a character or species?
yeap! mainly with mark and the overseer (aka swap stanley)
20: How do you express your fictotype? Clothes, merch, cosplay, maybe even name?
clothes, names and doing fanart/writting some things
21: What’s something about the fictionkind community that you wish was different?
a lot of the discourse, how folks judge other folks for having problematic characters as fictionkins or having problematic neoma/memories, the spiritual vs psychological kin stuff, exclusionism towards the fictives (i haven't seen it a lot but yes quite a times), folks being shitty towards doubles, forcing labels into people, etc
22: What’s something about the fictionkind community that you appreciate?
the people in it, the flags, flags and terms, being yourself freely, compression between the folks, sharing your experiences without feeling that you're going to be judged, etc (specially people over 20 being fictkins, reconfirms that it's not a 'weird teen shit')

linked one, two, three, four and five
29: Do you have activities that connect you to your source? (Food, hobbies, interests, etc.)
studiying, reading, eating desserts, taking naps (lmao), wearing comfy clothes, drinking coffee/tea, feeling tired or stressed, writting in my journal or random thoughts
30: Talk about what it’s like to be your fictotype.
don't get me wrong, i love being myself, but i really miss my family, my home, my friends, i really miss it all, it's heartbreaking knowing that i'll never see them again, that i'll never go back to my home, but, it's lovely at the same time, even if it's involuntarily, it helps me to feel more attached to myself, i also love this community, love a good part of my neomas and memories, love expressing myself, using the terms and flags, sharing experiences with others, i love most of it ^.^

This blog is 18+! Minors: DNI! I check all blogs that follow me and will block anyone under 18. This is for my safety and for yours. I post and reblog some content that's not suitable for minors
Commissions are closed! Thank you to everyone who bought a commission!
If you're looking for requests, please check here!
Ever had questions about Papa Nihil, his ghouls, or even how the ministry used to be? Ask Silvanus
AO3 | Ko-fi
Below the cut is general information
Notes for Ghost!
Occasionally, I will reblog the ghouls (Era 5) unmasked! However, I will always tag it with "#unmasked ghoul" or "#unmasked ghouls". If you don't want to see the people behind the mask, please block these tags!
Just so we're clear: I call Era 5's lead guitarist "Sodo" instead of "Dewdrop"! I've seen a few people on tumblr upset about people calling him something different. Understand that this is my preference and I will not be changing it. And no, I will not respond to any questions asking about this.
When writing for the Papas, I try to swap between the masculine and feminine versions of terms of endearment. Italian is very unforgiving and I try to swap between both versions as a way to stay "gender neutral". No, it doesn't always work and I've been trying to find ways around it, such as pet names being something the Papa likes, such as Primo using "griasole" (sunflower) while Secondo uses "uccello canoro" (songbird).
I do occasionally use American-Italian slang, especially if I'm writing for Ares or Secondo. I try to always translate these since you can't use google translate for them, but sometimes I forget or skip over a word. If you're curious to know what the word is, feel free to let me know!
Most of my requests have been uploaded to AO3! The Papa's Favorite for all of your Papa needs, and Into the Ghoul's Den for the boys! Note: Not all of my requests have made it over from Tumblr to AO3, but I'm hoping they will one day.
Notes for Bully!
As stated in the request section, I will NOT accept any asks or DMs regarding student/teacher relationship. I don't care if it's hinted ingame, I don't care if it's what you want to see. It will NOT be tolerated on this blog.
When making fics for Bully, I try to incorporate actual dialogue from the characters. This helps me keep them more in character, and also gives me a good opportunity to use any cut beta dialogue or actual interactions.
On the topic of cut beta content: The Boy's Dorm in my fics will always be the beta version. This is really just the same layout as the Girl's Dorm, but with a more masculine color palette (brown/tan walls with blue carpet).
If you want to now more about my own personal headcanons for any character or clique, feel free to ask!
Notes for Repugnant!
Similar to their music, my Repugnant fics and/or headcanons can get incredibly dark. Please be sure to read the warnings first if the fic or headcanons have them!
Because we don't have much content for the band (such as no interviews to display character personality or interactions and we're only given a glimpse of personality for Mary), my interpretations of the band members might be different from others.
I will not sit here and debate what is "right" or "wrong" for each band member. Yes, I have seen some other headcanons and fics. No, I personally do not agree with all of them. But that's why it's a headcanon and not actual canon. If someone likes my headcanons and uses them, great. If they hate them, that's great, too.
Sometimes I will let the musicians and characters overlap. For example, I headcanon that Jimmy Hopkins from Bully has a passion for music just like his VA. I headcanon that Sodo from Ghost has a more soft-spoken/shy persona when off stage just like his musician. Repugnant will be no different.
If there are any questions regarding my own personal headcanons for these four, again, feel free to ask.
And that's everything! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask or a DM!

Hi bestie, do you happen to have any emerald duo longfic recs for me?
Please im going insane i need to read
Hi Ember I do not read enough emerald duo fics But I have searched some up soo here are a few, some I have not read and some I know by reputation. These are all completed as well and over 50k words
agnosthesia by ambibii and TearsOfAStarling - 111k words, High Fantasy AU, Creator chose not to use archive warnings
agnosthesia n. the state of not knowing how you really feel about something, which forces you to sift through clues hidden in your behavior, as if you were some other person—noticing a twist of acid in your voice, an obscene amount of effort put into something trifling, or an inexplicable weight on your shoulders that makes it difficult to get out of bed.
Philza Minecraft was the exiled prince of the Kingdom of Heart Cove, a darkness plaguing his heart. Technoblade was his loyal knight, is a pledged Blade since birth. Then Technoblade met a necromancer named Dream, who dragged the both of them to therapy and taught them about the magic of friendship along the way. Oh, and some actual magic too.
Don't know this one, looks like it has a lot of rivalsduo and doomsdaytrio but a decent amount of emerald duo
--
The Next Great Adventure by Pathfinder - 114k words, Fantasy AU, Graphic depictions of violence
Philza is closed-off, hardened from centuries without aging while watching his friends turn to dust, taking jobs under the moniker Angel of Death to try and feel something again.
Technoblade is a brute of a piglin with more scars than unbroken skin and a penchant for uncovering trouble, hot on the trail of… something. He’s exactly the sort of routine job that should consume a few weeks of Phil’s endless time, before he’s forced to find something else to waste away doing.
(Such a shame, then, that the Angel of Death should meet his match.)
Or: A fanfiction in which an elaborate AU is crafted as an excuse to focus entirely on Technoblade and Philza's relationship.
Only has Emerald duo and Phil/Kristin tagged so I'm guessing it's just them!
--
oh dear, can you see me? by findingkairos - 70k words, Antarctic Empire Age Swap AU, No archive warnings apply
Philza Minecraft is the youngest person ever to beat a Hardcore world and earn his wings. It makes him a target.
For an enterprising faction fighting in a server-wide war, it makes him a weapon.
(Age Swap!AU where Technoblade is a legendary warrior who's been having fun scaring newbies and occasionally conquering realms on behalf of Hypixel, Philza is a young player who's been guilt tripped into choosing the losing side, and things get worse before they get better.)
this one is actually on my tbr, looks like it's just emerald duo :]
--
Orphan's Path by aenor_llelo, Alderous, Anarchy-Schmanarchy (Murder_Schmurder), BattleBlaze, ConcoctionsFromHell, Falrisesi, fluxphage, izziel_galaxy, Otakuforlife19, and Rocket999 - 686k words, Canon compliant/additional, Warnings vary by fic
Since this one is a series, I don't have a summary for it, but it's basically a retelling of canon from mostly Phil or Techno's POV with tons of additional backstory and headcanons and etc. Technically this one is not done since the series is on-going but there's, y'know, 686k words already
Also on my tbr, and it mostly seems to be emerald duo with some other people thrown in every now and again
--
A collection of dust by SwordSoup - 78k words, Hunger Games AU, Graphic depictions of violence and Major character death
Phil's name is scrawled on 27 individual pieces of paper. Wilbur's is only written on one. Yet somehow, the younger boy is the one who is selected to join the Hunger Games, forced to die on television for the entertainment of the ravenous elite. Phil won't allow it. He volunteers, and then a man he has only spoken to once is called to the platform, and Technoblade's eyes are an eerie shade of red, and then he's being taken away, and-
And then suddenly, Phil is dragged into a bloody and gruesome struggle for power against a country that only wants to watch him die. But he'll fight, no matter how little the odds favor him.
okay I really want to read this one now oop don't mind me. Phil and Techno's relationship tag and Phil and Wilbur's are the only ones on the fic so despite the other character tags I'm guessing it's about them mostly
--
bones in the ocean by bunflower - 86k words, Pirate AU, Graphic depictions of violence
“The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”
OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.
yeah so unlike the others I actually know this one because it's very popular and I know Bun is a great emerald duo author so I'm guessing it's quite good
--
i wanna hear it's alright by bunflower - 114k words, Canon-divergent, Graphic depictions of violence and Major character death
“T’ the gates of hell…”
“Go to hell, then.”
“I’ll see you there.”
A Phil-centric whump!fic that grew into a story of friendship, love, betrayal, and loss. A series of interconnected one-shots focusing on the nature and complexity of Phil and Technoblade’s friendship over the centuries.
one day when I am strong enough and won't cry I will read this
--
Anyways that's it for fics BUT I have three authors here that I know write a lot of emerald duo even if they don't have completed long fics for them
Anarchy_and_Piglins - Most popular and longest fic is About Phantom Pains of Dying, an ongoing collection of Techno-centric oneshots, 88k words and no archive warnings.
h_mellohi - Most popular fic is feathers laden with dust and stone, a season one OSMP angel duo oneshot, 5k words and no archive warnings. Longest fic is red eggs and ham, a finished peerpressureduo eggpire fic, 94k words and creator chose not to use archive warnings.
bunflower - Most popular fic is Bones in the ocean, same as above. Longest fic is i wanna hear it's alright, same as above. Just here because they have a lot of other emerald duo fics

saw a tag game where you post the filenames of everything in your WIP folder and then people can send you asks with the title(s) that most intrigue them and you post a little snippet, and i Want To Participate but i wasn't tagged and i don't feel like tagging anyone (and you're supposed to tag as many other fic authors as you have WIPs??? I DONT KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE). so here is my modified version where i post the filenames/folder names of anything from my fic repo that hasn't been posted to ao3 in some form and has enough actual content (and not just notes) to post snippets
hinataverse AUs:
akatsuki_au (i MIGHT cannibalize this for the confusing time travel fic, but it does have an actual plot outline so it might survive the process. we'll see)
akatsuki_au_itachiswap
aroace_fake_dating
arranged_marriage
back_to_school_au
crack_massacre_au (this one also includes an eyeball swap unlimited subplot, so i want to finish eyeball polycule first so that i can reuse all the eyeball worldbuilding)
crack_time_travel_au
deaging (i have separate per-chapter markdown files for this; ch05 and ch06 are still WIPs)
hinata_infiltration_2
intricate_eyeball_polycule (again i have separate per-chapter markdown files but the titles aren't at all descriptive; if you want a snippet from a specific unposted chapter feel free to specify the number)
itachi_deaging
itahina_bodyswap
roleswap (im probably going to cannibalize this for the confusing time travel fic since it doesn't really have, like. plot)
tam_lin_au (...also probably going to cannibalize this for the confusing time travel fic)
time_travel_au (this is the confusing time travel fic!! i should probably rename the folder to something less generic. and also move it out of the Secret Private Fic Repo)
yugakure_peasant_uprising
hinataverse "canon" (such as it is):
hysterectomy
academy_team_7
itachi_pov
wave_arc
programmers_and_paladins (this is the extremely self-indulgent dnd campaign i have posted about here; one of my PCs is itachi, but we decided that for RPG purposes the byakugan was way too OP so hinata just shows up as an NPC occasionally because she's Busy With Her Own Shit. this is an AU where hinata does get involved with the campaign plot and it's stalled because we haven't, uh, had a session in a while so i don't know where the plot is... going)
class_schedules
hinata_charsheet
the_gang_meets_hinata
non-crossover scum villain fic:
liuqijiu_time_travel
proud_immortal_daemon_way

It's possible I can only ship certified Problematic (TM) ships from now on because trying to engage with fandom around a quote unquote wholesome ship is just a minefield of obnoxious takes. Shipping the kinds of things antis wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole is a great way to filter them out of my fandom experience. I've also recently been involved in closed canons with small but dedicated fan communities where it just isn't as gratifying for belligerent outsiders to cause drama because they're trying to get a reaction out of 5 to 20 people rolling their eyes and going about their business without caring. It's so peaceful, comparatively speaking.
I've also become so completely immune to the accusations of rape apologism and pedophilia over my incest and age gap shipping that I'm actually finding it more annoying to see people accusing m/m shippers of hating women. Friend if you are hanging around the m/m shipping parts of fandom you can't be mad that there's so much m/m shipping. I literally do not care if you wanna ship the canon-lite het pair, please, go forth and have fun (and if you tell me they're siblings I'll even dabble a little too 😈), just let people enjoy the things they enjoy in peace. I find it totally bemusing that anyone would pit these ships against each other when people are obviously getting something very different out of each one. (And like, not to engage with spurious outrage, but yeah, I totally would be more interested in the het ship if one of them were gender swapped. Not because I hate women or het ships but because I'm a natural contrarian who can't stand ships that are presented as a given, and queer ships rarely feel inevitable in the same way m/f ships do. It's just about personal taste and what I can relate to.)
Anyway I'm being careful not to use any specific character or ship names because I don't want this to show up in any tags (because said tags are already a shit show I don't want to make worse) but if you have no idea what I'm talking about and would like to I'll gladly elaborate.
