dw about answering this if you don't wanna- but like, do you have any advice for how to deal with or prevent people who know you from your main/art blog discovering your kink blog? i'm thinking about starting a tummy kink art blog after years of keeping it to myself, but the thought of people recognizing my art and finding me is something that i worry about. is it something that you just gotta get over and accept might happen?
truthfully i have no idea if theres a way to avoid it other than just not talking about one blog on the other. personally i stopped drawing fandom stuff & if i do i dont tag it so my work shouldnt show up in searches unless belly people are looking for it but even that probably isnt foolproof bc the search feature is a mess. when i first started this blog i blocked a few specific people who i knew i didnt want to find it but for people in general idk
in my experience so far, ive found that 1. more people than youd expect will turn out to share your kinks and 2. more people than youd expect are pretty accepting of it even if they dont. i think the best thing to do is to just try not to worry too much about it so you can feel free to post what you want, & that isnt always an easy goal to achieve but i think it is a rewarding one

ATTENTION TADC FANS!
youve all been waiting, and im finally taking requests for TADC again! apologies for the sudden shut down and dismissal of the requests, but it was truly getting to a point where i was beginning to hit the beginning stages of a burnout; and in order to prevent myself from resenting the media or growing tired of it, i had to take a break.. but we're back! with a few news rules that i urge you guys look into since things are going to be slightly different this time around (not much, only one real rule is added, but still!)
Tumblr media
As per usual for these posts, im linking my pinned that has most of the rules that generally apply to this blog, really these posts are just for me to announce that im taking stuff for a fandom, you know?
if youre not new around here, though, you will notice a note within the "i will write section", which is that new rule i mentioned above the cut!
however for those who cannot access the link for whatever reason, here is a summarized list of rules n stuff
Basic rules and boundaries:
all requests must be sent in through the inbox. any requests submitted via comments or dms will not be answered, period. i prefer the inbox because its all in one place and easier for me to keep track of things. dms feel invasive and make me feel pressured, and comments can be lost easily. as well as this, with asks i have the request right there so i dont have to dip back and forth for details on what you want
no spamming, please! while i am deciding to keep anon on i can tell when its different requestors asking for the same thing by chance, and when its the same person sending in the same thing. you will receive a warning once (this alone counts as one so technically you get two), after that your request will be denied flat out
as of 12/14/2023, i am not taking oc readers or readers based off of canon characters. while i did canon characters before, i do not have the means or energy to comb through many character wikis for every request. i do intend on opening character based readers eventually, but as of now it is not possible or efficient. you CAN ask for specific traits or personalities, though, thats still allowed
the new rule i mentioned: the new maximum number of characters you can ask for per request is 4-5. before i didnt see much point in limiting TADC since its just 7 characters but i found that most people asked for full casts, but most requests didnt spark any real ideas for every character; thus really feeding into that burnout i mentioned. any requests failing to follow this rule will be put in the wheel (wheel will have the characters names and it will choose who will be written for the request)
i can deny your request for any reason, usually though it will be for discomfort or for being in violation of the admins rules/falls into what he wont write
What I will Write:
fluff and angst! as well as general headcannons! scenarios are allowed too!
poly, platonic, romantic, ect is fine! any characteristics for the reader are usually fine (ex. child!reader, artist!reader, ectect, obviously for stuff like kid readers it will automatically be platonic)
really most things are fine, if theres anything that makes the admin uncomfortable, he will communicate it!
while technically i do write for it, please be mindful when asking for requests that tackle heavier topics (abvse, self h4rm, ect) and will be handled on a case by case basis rather than being set to a solid standard, as well as taking the admins current mental state into consideration when handling these requests
What I WONT Write:
NSFW or NSFW adjacent requests. no smut, no kinks. i have had people try to sneak kinks past me by trying to mess with wording or by trying to justify it by saying it was intended to be fluff. i do not kink shame, but that wont be tolerated here
no yandere stuff, admin isnt really comfy with it. theres a difference between writing characters that can be very jealous and writing something that is extremely unhealthy and to admins knowledge, demonizes those with mental disorders
as mentioned above, heavier topics will be taken with a case by case basis; however if youre asking for things like abvsive!jax x reader or jax walking in on reader SHing then its a hard no. active stuff will not be written here, however a character who has gone through that in the past is an entirely different story
full on fanfics; outside of special occasion, the admin only writes short little paragraphs and stuff for posts
general ban on basic nono content
On the off chance that you request something that has already been done before, admin will link the post that has your request!
with all that being said and done, go nuts guys! i kind of missed writing for TADC but i had to put me first

Hi! I've been following you for a good while now and have always rly admired the community you've build, and, your art itself, obviously, it's always very cozy in here. May be a strange question, but as a relatively popular artist on the interned, are there any tips you could share on how to engage and sustain an audience? maybe you know some recourses for artist to get their art seen? I've been an artist posting online for roughly 10 yrs and pretty much failed at accumulating any sort of prominent presence. I don't feel bad about it really, it's not why I do art per say, but these are pretty rough times and unfortunately other means of art monetization grow thinner with stupid updates & algorithms forcing anyone who can't afford payed adds or subscriptions out of business. I kinda have to make use of social media, even if it's not my element in the slightest. Feel free not to answer if you feel like it. Thanks in advance! Also big thanks for your shouts of my art overall, I really appreciate your support!
So I've had a post in my drafts for who knows how long detailing how to build and curate your audience online. But I haven't found a good way to go about posting it because I didn't want it to come off as tooting my own horn xD
BUT YOU HAVE ENABLED ME SO HERE WE GO!!!
(im going to generalize, you may already be doing some of these things but I think its good info for anyone who wants to build an online presence)
1. Engaging your audience
A: First, you have to think of the platform you're sharing your art on and what people use it for. Not even tumblr, but the internet as a whole. It is a place where people form communities and share information. It's also one of the most popular ways to mentally escape; from school, boredom, to the horrors of real life.
So if you want people to find you, make a space where they can escape/feel community.
This means: No callout posting, no venting, no doom posting, no politics, no guilt posting, no anything that would make you unfollow someone else if you were having a bad day.
It's okay to have an occasional vent or political post cause we're human, but trauma dumping is something thats very hard for someone else to read and honestly should you be putting that kind of information online, the internet is a place of community but it also isnt safe.
B: The Value of Fandoms
It's time for some metrics, featuring my own follower count.
I've been on tumblr for 9 years and I have been making an effort to grow my base as a way of getting money as a freelancer (like you) so I started doing this allll the way back in highschool. I can remember each milestone and which fandom I got them in
1,000 I got when I was posting stuff for Undertale
2,000 I got when I was posting stuff for The Property of Hate
there was a big break between these milestones where I was just drawing ocs and object heads and stuff, but nothing I was hyperfixated on
5,000 I got from Hollow Knight
but then something really unexpected happened.
In late 2021 and early 2022 I decided cringe was a worthless social construct and decided to fully indulge in my enjoyment of doodling dragons.
I juuust inched past 5,000 when 2022 started. I Ended Up With 12,000 as 2022 ended. That's more than double. As of posting this I am at 13,600 and its only February.
So how did that happen? I could tout along and say that it was simply luck and I wasn't really making an effort anyway but that's a big fuckin lie, i've been "selling out" this whole time (it's not fucking selling out to post in fandom. You like a thing? You go to the thing's community and post about the thing)
Posting in a fandom is essentially like, now bear with me, advertising for your blog. Fandom is where the eyes are and where the traffic goes. Big tags like #artistsontumblr #tumblrart #art are used OFTEN but they're too general and often people look for things that are specific. Fandoms like Hollow Knight, BNHA, Mob Psycho, The Owl House, etc are currently popping off and have a lot of traffic.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to join a popular fandom to post your work in to get followers, it just means that if you're into a show or a media, post it on your main art blog and don't make side blogs. Keep it all together
Why?
Because 5% of those fandom people stick around for YOUR STUFF and those 5% of people are the best goddamn people in the world. You want those 5% to see EVERYTHING you do and THEY'RE the ones who will recommend you to THEIR friends and do outreach on your behalf because they like YOU and not YOUR STUFF.
i fuckin love those guys
So as you hop from fandom to fandom, you're going to lose some people but that's fine. Everyone curates their experience online and if you head off in a direction they don't like then they can deal with it. The rest come along for the ride cause 1: they either really like your stuff or 2: are into the new thing you're getting into.
SO ANYWAY
posting in fandoms under one name is GOOD because it puts everyone in the same bucket that will see your stuff and there's a chance that a few will stick just for your stuff. It is not cheap, its how you reach out to people to help cheer up their day and escape from things stressing them out.
C: What should you post?
So this is something that isn't an exact science but if you're looking to increase your follower count, this is something you can keep in mind.
Because this is the internet and the digital word of escaping from stress, people flock to things that are
1: Familiar 2: Funny 3: Relatable
So i've already been over fandoms and that's something that goes into the Familiar category. Familiar can also mean generalized but still popular concepts, like werewolves, dragons, vampires, apocalyptic scenarios, etc.
The more you trail into something niche, like marine biology, the seelie/unseelie courts, object heads, etc, the less traffic you'll find. There are communities centered around these but they're not massive like certain fandoms.
Which is how you end up with artists who spend hours upon hours on every piece only getting like 14 - 32 notes per piece. It's not lack of people caring or lack of interest, its the fact that these artists haven't "advertised" their blogs in fandom. Those people who end up caring about more personal posts are those 5% you find from fandom spaces. Their Familiar from that fandom begins to include your artwork as Familiar and thus they're more likely to share it.
Funny is simple. Tumblr is a platform of shitposts and memes. Do you have a favorite character in a fandom? Shitpost them. 2 birds with one stone, Familiar and Funny. I can't teach you how to be funny, but if you see something that makes you laugh online, pause and try to find out why and see if you can replicate it. (You wont get it in one go)
Relate-ability is also simple. If someone finds something they can easily associate with they will eagerly tag #mood #me or @ one of their friends in the post.
What doesn't get people following just by itself is your skill.
This sounds really fucking depressing but hear me out.
Your skill in art is a multiplier. It can take those three categories from above and BOOST IT to fantastic new heights. People love things that are from their fandoms that are funny and relate-able. People go FERAL for shit that is from their fandoms that are funny, relate-able AND COOL AS FUCK. If art represented x5 in an equation and you have nothing else, you get 0. If you include any of those three other things and then x5, you get something grand.
2. Sustaining your Audience.
If you want to set up your blog as a platform to eventually gain freelance income from, you need to make it yours and not your audience's.
This is key to prevent burnout and feeling obligation to create for thousands of featureless faces and losing sight of what made you enjoy art in the first place.
It is REALLY EASY to fall into that pit, especially as you grow your audience. When you have a small audience, it's easier to interact one on one with someone. Engagement is exciting when you have a small audience! People? Interested in your work!! Fuck yeah!!
But as you reach those milestones, the vibe begins to change. More and more people demand your attention. People who are new don't see you as an artist they knew from another fandom, they see you as a content creator and that is the worst goddamn stone wheel to get stuck around your neck.
You can still respond to requests and answer silly questions, but now you have to keep in mind that if you draw this little dragon for someone, three other people are going to ask for their own little dragons. And that's fine because you love dragons and they asked so nicely. You make those dragons but now there's seven people asking for their own dragons and you actually want to work on something other than dragons-- but you made those dragon doodles for those other people so wouldn't it be hypocritical to say no-
It becomes a spiral.
So to prevent that situation from happening, you need to respect your boundaries as an artist and what you will do and what you will draw the line at. If someone doesn't like you for that, they can unfollow.
In terms of posting regularly to sustain your audience, i've found that it helps but ultimately doesn't matter.
(this is a tumblr centric view, i cannot say the same for other platforms)
The way tumblr works resembles a massive recycling facility. You will see shit on your dash from 7 years ago but you dont mind, its how this place works.
It doesn't matter how often you post. You won't lose priority on people's dashboards if you don't make your daily art post. What matters is that you just make the post.
Each post you make is like sending out a bucket of chum into the grand ocean of tumblr. The more buckets of chum you have, the more likely you are to attract fish. The more you post the larger your radius is. The more variety you make in spreading out to different fandoms the wider your range is. And these spots of chum don't go away! They're permanent brown spots in a big blue wasteland and fish will stumble across it and then try to find the source.
Basically, you can disappear for an entire month and then suddenly return out of nowhere and shove 57 posts into a week and then disappear again and people will show up and stick around.
THis post is getting really long and there are probably some things im missing but my hadns are getting achy and i think that's my call to stop :p
if you have anymore questions tho im very willing to answer 👍

I just wanted to say I love your fics so much, and I know you write fics for a black fem reader in mind but me personally I still find myself able to relate to it. I think a lot of POC can relate to them even if they're not specifically black, I think you're really doing a service to the community tbh 😭😭💖💖💖
It just got me to thinking about your blog because I was reading a long fic on ao3 for another fandom, and this person was getting a looot of fanart, one of them where the reader was blonde (and no hate, it was a really gorgeous fanart). The author asked "I keep it ambiguous, but does everyone imagine the reader as blonde? Does she give off those vibes" and in my mind I'm like "NEVER ONCE IN MY LIFE 💀💀"
Ppl commenting "yes blonde" or "no i imagine brunette" and I'm like 🧍🏽‍♀️LMAO Nothing against the author at all, it's a really great fic and they were just doing a bit of a poll with their readers ofc
It just made me appreciate authors who do keep a POC reader in mind even if it's not explicit. I feel like even people who are trying to keep the reader vague sometimes let smth slip that makes you feel like they did have a white reader in mind, makes you go 🤔 I think its just smth people default to a lot of the time when imagining a reader insert... COULD NOT BE ME THO LMAOOO I think all the fanart I'd seen for that fic has the reader white, so only thing to do is to make fanart where the character has a POC darling 😤😤 LOL
Didn't mean to ramble on or everything, hope this isnt too long for your ask box, but yeah I just wanted to say I really love and appreciate your fics!!! <3💖💖💖💖 Always look forward to seeing more stuff from you!!
me when people that arent black/POC still enjoy my content:
my fics are self indulgent and i made then for me and for my lil safe space so for u to be able to appreciate it and enjoy is still amazing thank u :(((
there arent many popular poc/black writers/artists now of days so for people to automatically assume y/n as a white girl doesnt surprise me lmao
I LOVEEEE when i see fanart or fics and they make y/n black it makes the lil girl in me so happy n im so glad i’m finally able to be one of those people to do it let alone have people like it too😭

i make a new theory post on a frog (psoilers ahead)
with theories such as felipe is evil and/or working with niklaus:
Tumblr media
(post from aethlingg, his post can be found here! note: after research they no longer do jrwi content but rather qsmp content [specifically q!bbh and q!forever from what i noticed! theyre still very cool so go follow him [heres to hoping ik how he/they pronouns works btw])
Tumblr media
(post from redcloverf3y, their post can be found here! i cannot find if they still do post jrwi and just talk about other fandoms rn, but nonetheless go follow them!)
Tumblr media
(post from razberrypuck, its post can be found here! they def are still into jrwi from their lil bio and shit, but theres also others things they post, like q!charlie [or qsmp in general] and stuff, follow it too!)
to theories of what demon actually got felipe:
Tumblr media
(post by pulchrasilva, their post [correct the pronouns if im wrong, i couldnt find anything on the blog] can be found here! considering how five or so minutes ago they made a jrwi post, they def still talk about it, as well as other things, go follow them!)
to even some on felipe BEING niklaus (which i reblogged and stuff):
Tumblr media
(post is from aethlingg again, this one can be found here! for once i cant get a full image because its a long one but ill be talking bout my tags on it too)
theres been 2 posts on how felipe wasnt the culprit (heres one by wrinklemcdinkle) (heres another by ralexsol) ive seen, so im throwing my own theory into the mix: the demon is kuba kenta and kk (or mr. kenta) has relations to both niklaus hendrix AND the compass. lets get into it!
Tumblr media
lets start with the tags i wanted to use (i found they werent actually on the felipe is nk post, but rather on the second felipe is being framed post i linked)! theres a couple details here i mention but why do i say kuba in particular?
the only person who could actually have something against gillion straight up is jayson ferin, mainly cause he got stabbed by him twice, but jayson isnt a demon! you know who is a demon though? kuba kenta. so for jayson, mr kenta was the perfect way.
as for felipe's escape, the rope was burnt, correct? who has fire powers again? mr ferin. when felipe was being investigated or whatever, kuba contacted jayson and he got him out of there, leaving there be reason to assume felipe was dragged to hell.
yes i do think felipe was controlled by kuba to hurt gillion, it plugs up some plot holes thats for sure. so how would felipe been target if he only pulled the card the next day? because felipe probably was a target since he was born.
Tumblr media
its important to point out the compass not only having effects like kk's scratches do (give nightmares, cause physical reactions/changes, etc), but a similar color pattern to both niklaus and felipe. (pointed out by several people before me, like aethlingg in his actual essay about evil felipe working with niklaus shown above) another interesting detail is the nk tattoo is used with a moon attached, felipe's choice of goddess to worship. he immediately finds a friendship with chip when about 4 eps ago, niklaus had been given a stick by chip (important cause of how it was harder to spy on niklaus since the stick was in his room and stuff before, i think itd also add in an idea of "greater connection with the person" and stuff). i could go on and on abotu their connections.
Tumblr media
lets get back to the connection of niklaus and kuba. how would they even have met? probably something like chip did for his deal. as the quote above shows (found from the post by redcloverf3y, heres another link to it), people who have that desire for their goals will find him, not those who look for it. why would kuba need to strike a deal with desire daddy? because how else would he be able to use felipe. theres no way the curse would change the free will of felipe (it didnt do that for chip or gillion), so if he wants felipe to be a better puppet, he needs something to interfer with that. niklaus and kuba cut that deal, and felipe doesnt lose that curse on him, well to the others. kuba wouldnt have been able to give felipe the nightmares, anytime we see him hes with the three, so someone would have seen him get scratched! even if he got scratched in the couple months before they met him (cause felipe was six months old, not a couple days), the scars dont fade, rather theres the black ooze to them that burns, making it not a forgetable thing.
speaking of that, lets move onto the daggers situation. why the fuck would a tour guide have such dangerous daggers, poisonous ones to be exact (i heard it had poison effects somewhere, but sadly cannot find any info about that)? felipe has no need for poison daggers! he literally can spit acid! that means its only being used for its forgetfulness, which doesnt make too much sense to me since its not like being stabbed isnt just something you remember but theres the fucking pain of it too (example being, when i was younger and we were in the car getting ready to leave some place, there was this like tightness on my foot and i look at the door and [because it was one of those automatic doors and shit] it was closing on my foot. i didnt remember getting my foot in there and i still dont know how it happened, i do remember though how much of a bitch the pain was. not close to the pain of stabbing im sure, but you still remember the pain even without the memory of how it got there). that leaves one last usage: actually stabbing. again, hes a tour guide, he has no reason to need to stab people, no reason he should have a dagger that damaging, let along access to one like it. you know what has good weapons, ones with magic and shit? the navy. hell, theyre building a mechicanical leviathin! they of course have magic weapons for combat and such. and being a vice admiral, kk would have access to all of them. he gets a dagger for felipe, uses his deal to make sure felipe does whats needed, there.
so why would pulling the card get kuba as his enemy? its the magic of the cards! why would felipe hate gill? why would gillion dissappear only able to be brought back by powerful magic (whole can of worms for niklaus's abilities btw, needed to point that out)? the cards! theres also how felipe did reveal what his plans with gill were gonna be, but its probably just the cards.
i do also think the compass is related to kenta cause of their abilities being matched and it kinda fits him, a man driven even beyond the grave to reach a goal, even if that goal is only known by him...but this is long enough!
i hope i fed someones wants and if theres any contradiciting (or even more proving) evidence, lmk and ill try to counter it, bye and ill see you probably in a writing thing ive been putting off since this morning to write this

hello! my about me is under the cut:
i'm moth/moss,i go by both but either is fine! just try to type them lowercase whichever you use! i'm 25, my birthdays in july, and i live in the US! i'm fat, agender(they/them), queer, wavering around on the demi spectrums, as well as polyam and in a qpr like relationship!
i'm very dyslexic and use a stupid amount of commas and parenthesis, am probably autistic/adhd,and i have no doubt i also have bpd, but unfortunately accessing a diagnosis is inaccessible for me rn and i've done research into all of these for more than 5 years each and self diagnosing is extremely valid because its not accessible to everyone and i believe people know their own brains well enough to know if something fits if they've done the proper research! so dont be a dick, a diagnosis doesnt make me less or more autistic
i've been on tumblr for almost 12 years and this blog has always just been a cluster of random fandom shit, memes, some venting, and different issues i care about and there isnt an overall theme,however! i've recently got back into reading so if you are interested my sideblog for reading things is mossreads!
if you're curious what i look like i have a selfie tag! just dont be weird thanks
also feel free to dm! i dont always have a lot to say unless its about a specific topic i post about but i'm always down to listen and make friends!
ps- if you have a hogwarts house in your bio i dont want you here. fuck jk rowling, fuck terfs, she has explicitly said she thinks if you still talk about harry potter it means you fully endorse her beliefs so shut up about harry potter if you think trans people deserve rights... and if you dont why did you get this far?

a question for you (and Vin, if theyd like to answer this as well. i wasnt sure which blog to send this to, since you both co write a lot of stories.) ive been in a certain fandom for many years. ive made fanarts, done oneshots, but recently, ive been wanting to do multi chapter stories. half because i like to torture myself, and half because i fell in love with the stories you two write (my fav being Leech in the Rain/Bleach on the Brain, just because of how every chapter guts me like a fish). my question being: how do you accurately portray media characters, and how do you even make story plots? one fear that i have while writing is making characters flat, only giving them basic characteristics that would just boil them down. i dont want them to be obnoxious in personality, but i also want to convey the personality shown in their og media. another, more of a blank than a fear, is not knowing how to make a plot in the first place. do you use an outline for your stories/chapters? how do you even create conflict? very sorry if this isnt the usual type of ask you receive on your blog. as ive stated before, i take a lot of inspiration in yours and Vins stories (and i have no one better to ask). i greatly appreciate whatever advice you two can give.
Well, I'm very flattered, thank you.
General Advice
Most of my writing advice is stashed in this post.
This one, specifically, written by @therealvinelle addresses most of the questions you have here.
My main advice though, and I think what your blocker is based on what you're saying, is to stop thinking about what can go wrong.
You always have to start somewhere and with something, if you follow the linked post and plot out what your story should look like/what you want to do the only thing that remains in your way is sitting down to do it.
The first draft may not be what you're looking for but it will be something on a page that you can then work with to make into what you need it to be.
The hardest part, I think, is knowing where you're going and knowing your characters well enough that you know how they'll react to whatever happening to them. That last bit is the key to a character, in my opinion, not having a sheet or template but being able to confidently say "X happens, they'll do Y" or at least being able to sit down and figure it out based on what you know about them. Let the characters drive the plot and the story and they'll never be unrealistic.
Otherwise, personally, I write for myself. I write things I want to read that I know others won't give me or things I want to try my hand at. It's nice if other people like it, but I can't be here for them and at the end of the day it has to be what I'm happy with.
Ultimately what matters for your multi-chapter fic is if you're happy with it and if you feel it's portraying what you wish to portray. If other people like it, wunderbar, well done, but they shouldn't be the ones you're doing it for.
The Fuck is Conflict?!
The only thing I think not previously addressed is how to create conflict. That's thinking about it a little backwards, the conflict in a way, should arise naturally.
But let's break it down.
Conflict ultimately arises from the desires and motivations of the various characters.
You have an evil emperor who wants to be an evil emperor and you have the peasants who don't want an evil emperor: conflict. Edward despises vampirism and Bella wants to be a vampire: conflict. The Cullens all want to be a happy family but ultimately they have very different values from one another that are incompatible: conflict.
The conflict should already exist among your cast of characters. They have different ways of viewing the world, different things they want, or there's some obstacle in their way preventing them from getting what they want.
What you need then is a catalyst. Something happens that shakes up the status quo. It's revealed that an item thought unattainable is suddenly attainable, the evil emperor makes his first big move, a stranger arrives who highlights the existing issues within the family.
Something happens that causes the character desires, motivations, etc. to either clash or be set into motion.
For me, the conflict is the story. It's both what happens to set off anything, the problem(s) to be resolved or otherwise wrapped up, and what will drive the characters forward in the story.
Without the conflict, you have a tumblr post, not a story.
In that sense, then, conflict is almost as easy as "what do I want to even happen in this multi-chapter fic". If you have something, anything, happening that's going to cause issues for the characters, you probably have your conflict right there.
@therealvinelle, you got anything to add?

#drdtdevappreciation
Im so proud of how you all as a fandom handled this so well 💙 I know things are still pretty shaky in places and no one can rlly say this problem is “solved” or “forgiven” unless DRDT Dev specifically says so (which I dont mean to say they should or have to comment on anything, I know they mentioned theyre nervous and now uncomfortable interacting which I understand and accept responsibility for) But it really makes me happy to see how for the most part We’re turning something bad into appreciation. So for the fandom here. I appreciate all of you.
Even the ones who mightve gone too far. Just like me u had good or at least non malicious intent. Which turned out bad but there are still ppl who respectfully understand where youre coming from. Maybe its not wanted- But I appreciate and care for you too. I dont know how youre handling this all, But if its anything like how I did, I hope you understand nothing is ur fault just like how people have said it’s not entirely mine and not DRDT Devs. Even if it wasnt the best thing u couldve said in the moment. I understand u didnt want to harass anyone. It was a mistake made cause it’s human to act emotionaly have opinions and want to be understood with that. That can make ppl say and post things online that get deserved back-lash like I did. And the things u say can seriously hurt people like I did. I cant say how anyone else feels with everything thats happened But if Im right about everything so far. Its okay. To me at least which I guess isnt much. Even If u dont feel real remorse- You feel u were justified- But just dont want to be lectured in paregraphs over and over. Thats ok to me too. No one has to be completely justified in how they feel and it would be hyppocritical of me to say u do. And you shouldnt have to be looked at as any worse then the rest of us for stating your mind. Ur a great DRDT fan and person too and no one should claim any different for anyone. So while no one can throw around the word “forgive” for an incident that isnt ours to forgive- I “understand” u.
On a lighter note- The people who defended DRDT Dev without harassing anyone. U all acted so maturely in response to everything I honestly envy u a little. Does maturity and not making mistakes like these come one by one for you? When I make mistakes like this I feel like something with no real sense of right or wrong- Then I mess up and ppl come out to tell me where I went wrong and the “right” thing to do- And I piece together all the life lessons and “right” responses little by little until I feel safe with myself. Like a kintsugi piece. And like the cake in chapter 1! Did u have to do the same? I wonder if everyone experiences this. But thats not so relevant to appreciating you- So thank you for seeing every side. Even mine. Thank you for taking this whole situation and turning it into something good for everyone. We should talk about stuff like this more- While I still wish I hadnt posted that confession Im happy with whats been made of it- Even if the damage was still done. Because disrespecting and dehumanizing creators like DRDT Dev who put themselfs through so much to make wonderful content for us is never ok and to sweep it under the rug Like nothing ever happened is even worse. I know I requested the original post be deleted But Im ok with it being up on other blogs and posts because its important to hold stuff like this accountable and talk about it. And u guys did just that which is why Im so proud and thankful for u. This isnt a Thanksgiving dinner But u all deserve to be appreciated for doing good things too and supporting DRDT Dev.
And that brings me to who I appreciate the most- DRDT Dev. Everyone has said it so perfectly already I cant think of how to say it myself. But theyre so strong for going through all this. With their health. And going through and finding things like what I said. And other things none of us know about because they work to prioritize us over themself. And yet they still dont give up. They still keep going even with everything. They dont have to do this. But they do anyways and we should all appreciate them so much for that. Because sometimes we forget they and there team are human- I forgot that too. Doing things like my confession and taking their work for granted and other things is never ok. Im so happy we can do something to share our appreciation for DRDT, DRDT Dev and their team. Bad things and arguments and DRDT Dev being hurt by me had to happen first. I wish it didnt and that fandoms would give this much love and support to their creators without some incident happening first. But Im happy what happened let us appreciate the dev for there work now. And even if the DRDT Dev doesnt create side content anymore because of this- Its alright. They shouldnt have to push themselves past their boundaries or limits for us cause they already do so much. Even if we dont know much about them- We know enough to say theyre a wonderful person and we all love their content and them so much.
I know a lot of ppl apologized on my behalf and I suppose I wrote a longer apology to DRDT Dev and the fandom. But Ill say again as the anon themself- I am deeply sorry DRDT Dev for what I and others have said and done. I hope that you are well. And that youre able to see our appreciation through these posts.
I love you all 💙

Ok look imma cut to the chase and skip a lot of things. Also these are my abilites. Idk about my OC and its 100s of versions. Be aware that im going off the fucking Alien X Retrospective video cause The Ink Tank is based.
Autism: "but autism isnt a power" shut the fuck up you wish you knew half the shit in interstellar. I can u derstend every rick and morty joke from the lowest fart joke to the Multiversal Fracking done by rick prime. As we say in italy, you can attach yourself to it and pull hard.
Functional Immortality: gamers dont die, they respawn (doesnt mean you cant win you floppycock)
Metaphysical Awareness Disorder: apparently being near Me means people feel like widdle bunnies near me... unless theyre on a higher tier than me. And I can list like 3 people here on tumblr (@itsapmseymour, @pukicho, @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses) that im pretty sure would go like "dude you look like you smoked the entirety of mandela catalogue are you ok" i have an ability where i can look at LITERALLY ANYONE so hard they start becoming crying, babbling messes of Being Sorry For Their Actions.
References: all of them. JoJo. SCP. Undertale. Lancer RPG. Maybe one day even homestuck! Gimme a fucking minute here.
Command Prompt: sometimes the above isnt enough. This isnt a combat ability because i have no fucking reason to use it in combat. It would be stupid. I would just get down to the level of the average wizardposting poster. And im above such cringe.
Overly specific weaknesses: Cimmerian telling me im wrong. Not being able to truly tank Hollow Purple. Im not immune to everything no matter how much autism i slap at it. Good grief
Isolation: i can shut off like a computer and have a space, called Reference Space, where nothing ever no matter what can reach me without my permission. Reference Space however is also the deepest insides of this blog. Its basically my office, where i work tirelessly to make sure none of the fandoms im in... misbehave
To anybody having a problem with this:
Get a fucking life.

Tumblr media
Oh. My. Goodness.
I started this blog less than a year ago with hopes of just posting a couple of the thoughts going on in my head and maybe having one or two people like what I’m doing…
But I just hit 1K followers and I am quite honestly beside myself, how did this happen? When did this happen? When did this go from me crying tears of joy over having 10 followers to sobbing my eyes out over having 1000 of you follow and like my work?
When I tell you that I can not thank any of you enough for this- like I am for real at a loss for words, I don’t even know how to express how much you all mean to me
Thank you, thank you, thank you
With that being said, I decided that in honor of this happening, I want to specifically thank those that made this possible (though there are so many more of you) with a MUTUAL APPRECIATION POST as my celebration
This is all done in no particular order, I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you and everything each and every one of you has done for me
@your-local-questioning-agender oh gosh, where to begin. You were my first ever mutual and first person to ever reach out to me on this app. You have quite honestly been there for me through EVERYTHING that has gone on in my life and I would not be where I am today without you. I love you so, so, so much and I pray that you never change because you are absolutely perfect the way you are
@foggy-isnt-here axl, my axl. I love you more than life itself. You are the sweetest, kindest, most caring and hilarious person ever. You are always there to make me laugh and cheer me up after a bad day. You make sure that I’m taking care of myself (and not to mention you gave me the coolest nickname I’ve ever received!!). What would I do without you?
@popfishjr your art honestly always makes me so happy. I light up whenever I see that you’ve posted and then am just in awe over whatever you made. I can barely draw stick figures and you’re over here making freaking masterpieces. I love our little chats and hope we never stop
@creative-girl omg I absolutely love how we’ve bonded over different fandoms (mostly marvel) we always have really good conversations about them and I look forward to more :)
@azurethevampire we interact within reblogs and I absolutely love it
@bringinsexybackk69 bubs, bubs, bubs, I love you so, so much and I honestly don’t know what I would do without you. You are an incredibly talented writer and a wonderful friend, thank you so much for being there for me whenever I needed it and I adore you so much
@its-hell our interactions consist mainly in reblogs and I love it because it’s just so much fun :D
@panic-in-the-multiverse When I say that I absolutely adore your work, it is utterly incredible and I hope you keep up the amazing work that you’re doing
@redlotus98 dc? dc. You’re blog honestly brings me so much happiness when it comes to that fandom and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it all
@ihatemyselfmorethanmydepression we don’t talk very often, but I get this feeling that we always have each others backs. You were one of my first mutuals and when we do talk, I completely love it
@trashmouthsahra we don’t talk, but I hope you’re doing good and everything is going well for you :)
@xennityxen you always reblog people’s works by saying the nicest things ever and it’s honestly so refreshing when I watch as you take someone’s work make them so happy with your kind words because I know that is exactly what happens and I hope you know that too
@daughterofthequeen you’ve been my mutual for a while and you’ve been so supportive and I just want to tell you that you’re an amazing writer and I hope you keep it up! I absolutely love how we bonded over Moon Knight and just ended up as mutuals that way
@betzabobababi you have no idea how much I appreciate you. What you have done for me with your YouTube video was honestly life changing and one of the best things that has ever happened to me. And not just that, but you’re such a sweet person and I love it so much
@night3owl ugh I love your Star Wars fics so much and I love that we both love that fandom because I feel like there aren’t enough fans in it anymore. You have shown me so much support with everything I’ve done and I honestly can’t thank you enough for it
@see-the-apple we bonded over Star Wars and the rest was history… I absolutely love it
@roseblue373 SUPERNATURAL FANS!!! You not only have supported me so much with my spn fics, but you are always rebloging other spn fics on your blog and I love how much you support everyone else in this fandom. All of us, with our spn loving hearts
@kiyomi-uchiha777 you threatened to wage war against anybody that ever said anything bad about my work and it made me cry because it was honestly the sweetest thing ever
@catshrom when I say your asks make my day, everyday, I mean it. They always make me laugh (and on the rare occasion cry) and I always light up when I get a notification saying that you sent me an ask because I know I will have so much fun reading and answering it
@i-writes-things at first I hadn’t even realized that we were mutuals, I followed you because I absolutely adore your work, but I think it’s so freaking cool that ended up following each other and I hope you keep up the amazing writing
@angelic-simp you are one of the kindest people I know. You are always checking up on me and making sure I eat, rest, and drink water. It is so refreshing to have a mutual like you because you have no idea how much it means to me to have someone check up on me in that way almost everyday without fail. Thank you, thank you so much
Was this dramatic and slightly cringey? Yes. Did I cry my eyes out? Also yes
Thank you all so much again and I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say that I love each and every one of you dearly <333333333

Do you have any suggestions for someone new who wants to join camp weehawken or truffula flu? I wanted to create some Onceler to join the rps, but every idea I have has been done already
you don’t have to create a onceler to join either of those! there’s plenty of ocs (deloraxed or not) that are in both of them :3
but if you rly wanna do a onceler, i think it’s okay if your gimmick matches an existing onceler, especially if the blog is no longer active. like how many oncelers themed around being monsters or curses do u think exist?? so many. countless, but they're all kewl bc what matters is how you approach the character and give it your own twist! unless it’s something super specific, i don’t think anyone would mind if another idk retail onceler existed for example (thinking of retail bc i’m at work rn abloo bloo)
if this is your first time joining, i'd definitely try to pick something you're passionate about as a theme or set of personality traits! it'll keep you going and strong at the start of it all before the ball officially gets rolling.
also idk if you plan to do art or not but dont be discouraged if you dont! or if you dont think your art "is good enough"!!! some of the biggest oncelers in the fandom (swag and gent are the immediate first to come to mind) had mods who didnt draw for their posts and they still were well received! what matters is how much the concept means to YOU and how much passion you put into it. and ultimately: what matters most is if you have fun with it! :3
so like if something isnt' fun anymore. change it! or dump it and start over! it's okay!
and if you do draw, just..draw...like idk maybe its just a me thing, but i sabotage myself hard if i focus too much on my askblog/rp art being like...good lmao. i just get it out there. what matters is im enhancing the scene/perspective/emotions of what im doing and adding to it so it can be as quick as a doodle, or something fully rendered that took me hours, what matters is that i dont get too hung up on how "good" it is and if it IS something that takes longer, that it's not making me miserable to work on it. if it is? fuck it, we doodle.
also, put yourself out there! approach people with ideas or whathaveyou. test the waters to see where the chemistry lies and if those characters' mods would wanna plot w you! or even just do one-shots to see have some fun/see where things go. the worst favor u can do urself is to sit there and like...stew in fomo and let shyness/fear/whatever hold you back. and if you dont have ideas or dont get any hits back, focus on your own plot for awhile, let ppl see your character in action, it might spur some inspo
idk if that stuff was what u were looking for but its stuff i generally recommend to anyone wanting to start rping and/or askblogging in the fandom (and everyone reading this totally should if u dont already)

Can I ask a genuine question?
I have shared stuff on here, but my friend hasn't because she uses this as an escape from the real world. She has shared on her other social media. Isnt that ok?
I keep seeing this issue pop up in the Fandom. Maybe i have a different way of looking at it, but if you have for example a sideblog where you only reblog fanfiction or one solely for nsfw things, it would feel weird and almost disenguineois to share something once. Like you're scrolling through smut and then there is just a random post? It feels almost like you are just sharing it to say you did, at least in my mind?
And now people are being attacked for supposedly not saying anything. I got a nasty message from an anonymous and I HAVE shared things before (I also only have like 15 followers so it probably wouldn't be hard to figure out who did it).
I understand the creators of the show are shitty people, and people can call that out and should, but are we also not allowed to live in a Fandom space? I know that is very privileged of me to say, but can we stop sending hate and bashing those who may or may not have shared about what is going on because I fear it's going to have the opposite effect.
Like for me getting that bad message...I ignored it but it also made me disgruntled. Like, im still going to share stuff and be vocal cause my blog has been for other things in the past and this is more important. But if it annoyed me and made me want to not say anything out of spite, how many others who run solely Fandom blogs? If that makes sense?
it does make sense what you’re saying and i do understand your point.
for me, and this is my personal opinion, it doesn’t really matter whether you are solely a fandom blog or not? this is a side blog for me to post my fanfiction and reblog any steve/stranger things related content and yet i will still post things relating to palestine and those within the show who are zionists because i believe it is an extremely important belief to express and whether you like it or not, it relates to stranger things and the fandom itself, in my view, and by not saying anything or believing you shouldn’t have to say anything is condoning their behaviour. its genocide at the end of the day and when it comes to an issue of human rights i don’t believe it should matter whether it fits in with your blog or not, or whether it would be perceived as weird to be scrolling through fanfiction and to then see a random post about something else i truly don’t think it should matter? i know i wouldn’t find it weird or disingenuous. but then again i am just one person and like i said thats just my opinion really
i totally understand the want to escape from the real world and why people may use their blogs and fanfiction to do this and this is a valid response as we all have lives beyond on our blogs and stuff going on personally but like you said it is privileged and i do believe we should all acknowledge that. the images are graphic and what is happening is extremely upsetting but in my opinion that is no reason to simply ignore what is happening. i don’t have an issue with people necessarily being silent (i don’t really have the time to trawl through people’s blogs to check if they have posted or not!) although i don’t agree with it, i would never try to police how people use their blogs or try and police their activism but my issue is specifically with people who are asking the question as to why they should bother saying anything if that makes sense? because for me it comes off extremely shitty and privileged that people seem to not be bothered about what’s happening because it’s not happening to them. i do believe everyone has a responsibility to condone a genocide that many of our governments (my own included) are funding and supporting
whether people want to believe it or not some people in the fandom do have a certain amount of influence due to their large following and i’m not saying it’s their duty to speak up on every single issue but i do believe it should be acknowledged but personally for me it doesn’t matter how many followers i have on either blog if it’s important i’m going to post about it and it’s a shame that others don’t share that view. i don’t know if it’s because im extremely political and have no issue articulating or expressing my beliefs? but i know others are not the same as me.
i don’t condone anyone getting hate asks, having been on receiving end of those, it isn’t nice. no one should be on the end of those no matter what the subject is. i don’t think it has any place in fandom at all and it’s such a shame that it seems to be so rife in the stranger things fandom. but i do believe in debate and a civilised discussion of politics and world issues in fandom spaces ESPECIALLY when it is directly linked to certain members of the cast and the show

request info!
fanart requests are currently open :)
ok so my pinned post used to be my old request info, so im just re-doing it bc the old one is sort of out of date. soooo just ignore this if you are not interested <3
i take fanart requests for asoiaf and harry potter, tho i am more involved in the asoiaf stuff nowadays.
i draw both individual characters/groups and ships!
i do not accept all requests just because i have to be at least moderately interested in a suggestion to draw it. however i just dont reply to requests im not going to be doing, like im not going to put you on blast publicly lmao.
please ONLY send requests in my ask box! i do not take requests that are sent to my chat, ive had some unsettling requests sent privately in my chat before and so i prefer to only be contacted thru my ask box since it is a more open forum. you can use my chat if you want to just talk or whatever, thats fine id love to get to know ppl on here better, but i will not consider a request that isnt sent in my ask box. (asking for clarification for my request boundaries in chat is completely okay, just send the final request to my ask box!)
no i will NOT draw your oc... if it is a asoiaf/hp oc and you have a visual reference for them ig i would consider it, but im not going to draw someone's non-fandom related original character, esp not as a free request.
i do not take commissions, my art is fairly rudimentary so i feel like id be scamming yall lmao. so dont worry abt that, just send a request!
if i dont respond after you send a request once, its possible i missed it and you should feel free to send it again. however if i ignore it twice, your piece is either taking a while to complete or i chose not to do it based on personal preferences. so do not send the same request more than twice please!
i take requests from anons, thats perfectly fine!
if you have a suggestion for my asoiaf portrait series, please send one! or two! or three! i will always take requests for that series, and never reject them like 99% of the time.
i have other media i enjoy outside of asoiaf/hp, and would be happy to do fanart for some of those fandoms too, so you can look at my blog for the list of media im interested in or send me a chat if there is a fandom you want me to draw for! i will probably not draw for anything i am not familiar with, though.
i do have an ao3 (alrighty_aph and pseud snake_berry) but i am not currently taking fic requests. if there is something you really want me to write, you can send me a chat about it, but its much less likely that ill accept your fic request as opposed to a fanart request as i am currently knees-deep in my f&b longfic!
light nsfw requests are okay, but i will not draw anything too explicit.
you can be as specific or nonspecific as you want in a request tbh, either is fun for me in its own way!
ok sorry for the length but i just wanted to be thorough bc ive had bad experiences with requests in the past! (not anyone ive actually drawn for, just people i ignored bc they sent something i straight up prefaced i wouldnt do and then proceeded to harass me in my chat). but thats all so go ahead and shoot me a request if you have one! :)

If yes, then who forced them to post? If they are so private, why do they need to post stuff about them being in his house?/
But why not? why not posting a photo of you being in a place ? Or maybe they ARE trolling? Thats not the point; what im saying is theres no media, no publicity; these trolling of them being at their houses isnt being marketed
Its only us who knows, not even ALL of the fandom, but a very specific niche, much less the GP unaware of everything; i dont see the PR in her family hanging out at his houses that only a niche part of the fandom can identify
And im sorrrrrry, i swear im not snapping at you or anyone here, i just cant wrap my head around some povs
Two reasons:
Attention. The general public doesn't really care about them. They are together, okay. They have a 16-year age gap, okay. Their relationship isn't something that has never happened before; maybe it was shocking for a month, and for 2 days after they drop something, but another day, another drama. I think she likes the fact that she is being talked about, just like Justin. Maybe it's only happening on a small part of Tumblr and Twitter, but people still talk about her. About whether she was the one who sent the screenshots of the story to blogs or accounts or who edited it, whether it's an old picture or a newer one, or whether she was at the party.
We are the ones who have been selling this "relationship" since the very beginning. We are the ones who were talking about this whole thing when the GP didn't even know who she was. During the time when they didn't even want to come forward as a "couple", but we still talked about them and there were even articles about them maybe being together, we helped sell the narrative. The GP doesn't care whether Alba and Chris were at Jamie's birthday party or whether Chris and Alba were having dinner with Scarlett, Josh, and Robert. We care about it because we do. And also because the fans are divided; some of them think it's real, and some of them think it's not, and each group is trying to find evidence of its own truth. Most people don't care about them being at parties or at each other's houses, but fans do, and it's needed to sell a relationship, to make it organic and natural, just like a normal relationship, especially in their case when it doesn't seem like they want to do pap walks and public appearances. There are a lot of people who, after watching a story like this, may not have started believing they are real, but it definitely crossed their minds, or they went on fully believing it is. Being at your place and spending time with your family are good options for selling a relationship.
It's not about them posting a picture of being somewhere, but the fact they are constantly using older content and pictures and videos that were taken in his house. Like Alba's and Justin's post for Joana's birthday party. They've been friends for years, and do we really think Alba didn't have another picture of her just like the one that was taken in Chris's hot tub? Or that Justin was forced to post the photo and video of Joana, which were taken in Chris's VT house? The pictures that Ana posted also look old. She was never alone when they created any content, so it's not that surprising that her circle was there too.
I get it. This whole thing can be really confusing sometimes. It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong too, so...😅

fixing the pinned post (actually making it usable)
alright, since my normal one isnt usable mostly, its going bye bye (you can see what it was supposed to look like here if your interested)
hey there, im the sapphic bigender slut running this blog! i use any pronouns, though i prefer he/her. idk why but i feel like im the "me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic" meme if it applied both ways (adhd up in here too wooooooooo)
what to expect: once very blue moon an art post, a lot of jrwi rambles and comedy, some crazy theories, but lots of reblogs. i do try to do like a post that i wrote a day but with school, scroll qand reblog is the life lol
-i mostly use parenthesises and shit instead of tone tags (if needed, ill use them both)
-misspells i keep if theyre funny enough, but if unreadbale ill clarify (example: unreadable)
-the words with gender are gender neutral here. ill say girlie and my homeboy because its fun to ruin the gender concept
fandoms i post about now: scrolling back youd probs find some of my toh posts, but ive been more so on a riptide and mythborne grind. i do sometimes post on scu though! i also got my own characters lol
dni list: honestly anything for drama. of course no pedos and racsists and all that cause ill beat you on sight, just dont be a dick lol
-for asks, dont ask too personal shit or anything thatd fall under the dni list
-since im being kinda general with it, heres some specific ones for dni: those people who made weird sexualities (i mean like fucking figdetsexual and shit), politics (i may reblog on political stuff, im just spreading the message), things like that
if you wanna share more on interests, i have a card with some of my current interests and a couple places to find me maybe
asks are heavily encouraged and if you like any of my art, credit me if you get inspired and shit (dont trace please and if for whatever reason ai wants to use my art: no.)
now for what tags i use:
#jrwi by non-jrwi enjoyer = im talking to my non just roll with it friend on just roll with it
#not my usual content = might be more serious, just something i dont normally talk about (example: something that happened to me)
#silli promo = im probs promoing my fics or smth
#cheri's insane again = theories >:)
