#to all the wonderful people of this fandom... thank you!

[gabessquishytum]

hello! i just wanted to start off by saying how much i absolutely adore your blog and the community you have created! i’ve been in fandom spaces for about a decade and this is the first time i’ve ever come across such an interactive and collaborative space where everyone is just so lovely and loves sharing their ideas with each other. you doing such wonderful things in the dreamling/sandman fandom gabe 💖💖

so, i’ve had this idea rolling around in my head for a while now and a couple asks have touched on the topic as well but i’ve become a little obsessed with it! sheltered/virgin!dream and kinda-experienced-but mostly knows his way around a sex toy!hob are roommates in uni and of course dream has the biggest crush on hob. he thinks that hob has a lot more experience than he does just because of how charming hob is whenever they go out. dream has never actually seen hob take anyone home but that doesn’t really correlate in his head. because dream is slowly becoming obsessed with hob he decides he needs more experience but he doesn’t want to have sex with just anyone. he goes snooping through their dorm/apartment and finds hobs quite extensive collection of sex toys. he rifles through it and picks out a couple that he definitely knows what to do with and leaves those he is clueless about. he starts experimenting and finally experiences his first orgasm with (unknown to him) hobs favorite dildo stuffed in him. very quickly hob realizes that dream has found his stash of sex toys and taken a few (he was very horny about dream taking his favorite toy, even if that means he couldn’t use it until he talked with dream). hob is just as obsessed with dream and has been trying to work up the courage to put his charms on dream without making it awkward since they already live together. this all cumulates one day when hob gets home early to see dream “practicing” for when he’s finally with hob and hob sees his favorite toy stuffed in dream and his horny brain just melts completely as he watches dream finish and hob comes in his pants

This is so kind, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to say nice things <3 it always means a lot to know that people can find a home here.

I am totally enamoured with the idea of Dream getting fascinated by Hob’s sex toy collection! Also the idea that Dream unintentionally takes Hob’s favourite toy, thus accidentally leaving Hob in a very horny but very frustrated position because he wants his special dildo back but the idea of Dream using it is so. Fucking. Arousing.

Another idea that this sparked off for me: Dream and Hob sharing a pocket-pussy type toy. Maybe it's the same kind of scenario - Dream is inexperienced and ends up confessing to Hob about his lack of knowledge (they're both a little drunk at the time). Hob has the brilliant idea of fetching his pocket-pussy from his room and telling Dream that he can totally borrow it! Just to get some practice, you know? Dream uses it that very night, but he doesn't do a very good job of cleaning it up... when Hob comes to collect his toy, it's still wet. And sticky. And of course, Hob puts his dick inside it and gets off to the slick slide of his gorgeous roommate's cum. They trade the toy back and forth for weeks, neither of them willing to admit that they might as well just fuck each other at this point...

I just really like the idea of them being nasty and oversharing with each other when they're still "just friends". Getting off in bed next to each other, watching porn together, just generally being gross <333 Hell, maybe Dream tries a vibrator for the first time ever and gives Hob control of the remote - they still claim to be in a totally platonic relationship while Dream writhes naked on the couch and Hob jerks himself off.

It's only when both of them simultaneously realise that the idea of their "totally platonic best friend" fucking anyone else makes them physically sick... that they mutually figure out that they're in love. And sharing sex toys suddenly seems a whole lot more acceptable... when one day they might also be sharing a last name <3

The gomens fandom is actually such a wonderful example of how fandoms should interact within each other.

Like, the pure excitement me all have about one single thing is indescribable and also so simple. We all have different opinions about characters, but we are civil about it.

We share artwork, fanfiction, and fansongs we make, and our fandom pals pass them on. I have met wonderful people in their 40's-30's enjoying the show as much as people in their teens. And we all coexist, mostly without bringing others down.

I don't think I've ever been in a fandom that is not mostly conflict and divide between the fans, so it's refreshing to finally enjoy something and don't feel like you're going to get stoned for it.

I wanna thank every single Good Omens fan who has been kind to me, even when I acted a bit immature at times. Your kindness is very much appreciated, and I am sending you all kisses and hugs ♡

So... I just want to say that I think you're super funny. You're one of those people in the fandom who changes everything with your vibrant energy.

I think you're super kind and adorable! Your idea of Peeta the priest is so insane. Katniss calling him FATHER????? You are always brilliant

thank you for everything

(The Priest!Peeta thing @littlemarianah is referring to this Patchwork Prompt post that @waywardangel-wilds started. SOMEONE CONTINUE IT!) This is so wonderful and so sweet! I really needed this today!!!! 😭 Thank you so much! I love this fandom, I love what you all bring. The incredible writing! The emotionally gripping art! The incredibly skilled and thoughtful analysis posts, the jokes! The idea that I also have something to contribute to this fandom is just...it makes my heart explode! You're an incredible part of this fandom too, @littlemarianah! It's so wild to think that we all share a love for something that brings us together to laugh (and cry) (and sometimes clutch pearls) even across the globe! 💚🌻🧡🌻 -Serra 🦕

I can't believe we only have one week left til is all over for real 😫 Time has truly flown by so quickly since we first met Clone Force 99 all the way back in 2020. I'll admit, the first time I met them, I was like ok cool. These dudes are pretty fun to watch. Now, they've come to mean so much to me. I guess that's one perk of having the show come out whilst in school; it felt like I was going on a journey with them. And now, it all comes to a close.

I don't know what the finale will have in store (pain), but I do know that I'm gonna miss this little family so much. I've loved watching my blog grow over the past few years and meeting so many incredible people who love this show just as much as I do. I love seeing all the fics, fanarts, analyses, and memes people create for TBB. We're a small but mighty fandom.

So, thank you everyone for a truly wonderful past 4 years with Clone Force 99. I'm still gonna be posting about these boys and Omega, even if the show is over. (And nothing will ever take "The Outpost" from me. You're gonna have to claw that episode away from cold, dead hands. It's truly that special to me).

I'll be mentally preparing for the finale, but I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for this wonderful fandom and show :)

I know you are tired of being reminded of the whole mess that’s been going on. I had no idea what was going on until foxyanon told me cause I asked. The shock that went through me when I was reading ems post. I was decent friends with bel and interacted a lot with her. Had no idea how vile those bloggers are, just damn right disgusting and rude. But I told em as well that I have nothing to do with what’s her face. I’m always here for you! This fandom needs some serious work done and rethinking. I’m screaming the biggest f you to her! I love your content even though I don’t say anything much. You’re wonderful and deserve better! 💗💗

Thank you for reaching out, and treating me like a human being. It is more than I currently deserve. I will place the rest of my response beneath a cut, as it will be quite long and I'd like to give people the option to scroll past, as they are doubtless tired of all of this, and rightly so.

Yes, the behaviour of that group is despicable, but I cannot downplay the gravity of my own in that.

I had a longstanding block with two users (I am not going to use their online nicknames, I do not deserve to), arcielee and sylasthegrim, I said disgusting things about both of them - the screenshots of my messages regarding them both on the post you have doubtless all seen are real (so is the final screenshot where I mention an anon I had received telling me to die in my sleep, the rest of the screenshots in that post have been falsified, doctored or snipped heavily out of context to make them appear hateful - the doctoring has been confirmed by two individuals well versed in Photoshop)

I hold my hands up and apologise to both those people, and the people that have seen those messages and been harmed by them. They are inexcusable, indefensible and were guided by a false belief that those two people were being hateful in turn about me, and actively going out of their way to harm and spite me. I am unsure what Bel thought she had to gain by exacerbating the animosity between me and Em and those two women, regardless, we should have done the mature thing and reached out directly to them. I will say, that I have never once sent anonymous hatred to either person. The extent of my vitriol was confined to that group chat.

Bel also used slurs in the group chat (I would like to point out that myself, Em and Fae did not). I won't repeat what these were. I do not want those ugly words on my page. They made me uncomfortable and I called her out any time she used one in particular, but she always laughed off my discomfort and carried on anyway. She is mixed race, I am white, in my mind it is not my place as a white person to tell an ethnic minority what is racism and what isn't. There are enough white voices shouting down others in online spaces. I know better now. I should not let my own discomfort silence me. I will call out hatred, bigotry and discrimination in every instance that I see it. My past inaction is embarrassing, it's offensive and I am devastated by the hurt I have caused to others. I am so deeply sorry.

I didn't speak up for a long time, because I have seen what these people are like when they have a grudge against someone. It's frightening, I was a coward. Yet despite staying silent on all of it, I have been doxxed just the same. I suppose perhaps that's karmic retribution?

I appreciate that people have felt my response has been lacking, however, I was out of the country, away from home, from the 14th until the 22nd, with only my phone at my disposal and with the expectation from my husband that I would enjoy the vacation we were on, and not be online dealing with all of this.

I would like the opportunity to atone for my behaviour, to make amends. Currently, I feel I am not going to be given the opportunity to do that, and understandably so. Emotions are high, people are raw from what they have learned and they do not feel comfortable being around me.

Seeing the screenshots of the people in their group passing around my personal photos and saying incredibly vile things about my appearance triggered a lapse with the eating disorder that I am in active recovery for. I then had another a few days later. I need to take some time away to get myself well, as the fear and anxiety of all of this is taking its toll. I also need the space to deal with the legal action I will be exploring with regards to Chris having doxxed me. I am not running away. I simply need to get myself into a space where I am stable enough to handle all of this, be accountable, and take responsibility without my own emotions diminishing other people's.

I know people hate me right now, but it pales in comparison to how much I hate myself. I am so very sorry for allowing this to happen.

Sonadow enjoyers, we haven't been on this list in a while:

We can do better! If you want to help, read more!

Last year, Sonadow was in the 46th place in the year in review.

This is good! But it could be better. Let's try to get into the Top 20 this year.

So how do we do that? It's easy!

This is how to get into the list:

So what we need is more posts with the right tag, more reblogs, and maybe a few searches.

To make a post, you don't need to be an artist or a fanfic writer. You can just post about something funny or something cool you noticed or just make a post about anything Sonadow related you like. Don't think too much about it. Everything helps!

The reblogs are also very important. Even if you don't have a lot of followers or none at all. Reblog! You can also make a separate account for reblogs if you don't want to use the main one. The best thing you can do is go into the sonadow tag every day and like and reblog the posts you like. It only takes a few minutes.

Now, you might be wondering why it is important to be on the list. The answer is simple. If our fandom is on that list or even better trending, people will see this, click on the tag, and join the fandom.

The fandom and the ship will get more popular, and more popularity means SEGA will notice it. That's important because if it's popular and get's the engagement and money they want, they will make more content!

Thanks for reading, and please share and spread the word. Everyone can help!

ur katpee raturine post is making me wonder if aventurine and ratio would even survive the hunger games ? u should become president bladie and host one

I WAS PUTTING A BUNCH OF CHARACTERS IN THAT HUNGER GAMES SIMULATOR SITE RECENTLY

here are some highlights. furthermore, i rambled (huge surprise i know)

anyways i love hunger games AUs (i love when characters suffer and die) so i will definitely spend a long time considering this. ive fully written out several with ocs. my first fandom was the hunger games ok i read all three books 11 times so now i have to ponder everything forever

i think aventurine would do really well with getting sponsorships and all that. well liked by the capitol. kind of a finnick type of guy. ratio i feel like wouldnt be as well liked, but still have a decent amount of sponsors since he’s strong and very smart so he’s got higher odds of winning.

okay wait they do kind of have peeta and katniss vibes like not THAT much but the crowd-pleasing good at acting guy and the NOT crowd-pleasing guy who is skilled in survival and not great at acting but unfortunately has to play along with blonde mans act to get ahead. i can see ratio doing that thing katniss did with shooting the arrow at the people supposed to be judging her and sarcastically bowing and going Thank You. For your Consideration. but i suppose he just throws a chalk.

i think a lot of people would want to ally with ratio but he would reject them. makes no sense if they’ll just have to kill each other later. aventurine.. hmm. well like i said he’s well-liked by the capitol which means he’s probably not as liked by the tributes, and considering he doesnt like to show his hand (haha card reference) he wouldnt have shown any skills he has, so no one would particularly have any incentive to ally with him. but. Ough. well. kakavasha. if we made them separate like in the quest and kakavasha was one of the kids that got reaped for the games. well lets not think about that too much or i’ll get sad

ultimately considering aventurine’s luck etc i think he’d make it pretty far and if he DID die it wouldn’t be an accident or a surprise, he’d have set himself up for it to either allow someone else a win, OR spare himself a more gruesome/painful death later. if ratio died i think it’d be an accident. i dont think anyone could actually kill him in a fight, but he could get caught or hit by a trap or he tried to be smart and go out to the edge of the arena but hit the barrier and got zapped. like i feel like it’d have to be somethign small, ONE thing he happened to overlook. but i think it’s obvious neither of them is winning alone. they win together or they both die OR aventurine deliberately sets himself up to die at the very end so ratio is declared the victor. i think that one is pretty likely and hurts in the best way so lets go with that one alright? aventurine eats some poisonous shit or smth in secret and ratio thinks they’re going to find a way to win together until aventurine is like. actively dying and admits what he did. Lol. 😆

#asks #my bad i love the hunger games.

[sabertoothwalrus]

idk why but the results on that "favorite finn ship" poll is making me kinda emotional 🤪

#like I know people like nico!!! #and he wasn't winning before I reblogged it LOL #and of course most of the people that follow me like him. because you follow me. #but I didn't even make the poll! and he was included !! #which for my fucking OC to be treated just as legitimately by fellow fans of the show is so aasjdghajdjghadjfjkgjfjhsdjfh #idk sometimes it still doesn't seem real to me!!!! #I wonder how much parts of the actual crew. know. about nico or that the fandom even feels this way #I don't know how to properly convey how this all makes me feel except fond. warm and fond. #thanks for liking my little guy I guess

[forgottensoul793]

I hope someone leaks the movie or script

I know it's near high impossible with how guarded Mappa is with everything involving yoi, but it would be nice getting at least a synopsis of the story they worked on, so we could know at least some of Victor's lore. Maybe some sketches or storyboards. Skaters worked on it, didn't they? Maybe choreography. The movie was so close to being finished and we get nothing except a few empty words? Is the movie forever going to be lost in Mappa's server or some producer's USB? All that work and passion that went into it for years?

#yuri on ice #yoi #yoi was such a big part of my childhood #it was right there in my darkest times #and subconsciously i knew with all the postponing it wouldn't release #and the cancellation is just final release #but it still hurts #i had a yearly tradition of forcing new people I met during that year to watch it #i made so many memories with so many people with that movie #the fanfics #the fanarts #all the covers and memes and posts #i know fandoms die #this feels different #thank you yoi #im still going to continue my yearly christmas rewatch #i wonder how is it gonna feel this year

[ingravinoveritas]

Just popping by to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for always keeping a level head. Even when you're disagreeing or calling out bullshit, you still manage to stay diplomatic and respectful. And of course, you always focus on the important things, the main one being that Michael is David's #1 fan (and vice versa)

Aw, thank you so much for this! I can't tell you how nice it was to get this message in my inbox (and apologies for not replying sooner, as I've been entirely swamped and am now trying to catch up on my Asks).

Given that this was from two weeks ago, I'm going to guess that this is mainly in response to the whole situation with David's BAFTA nom and some of the reactions that have occurred as a result. I think a lot of people have said a lot of clumsy things (looking at you, Neil) and while some may not have meant to take away from David's big moment, that still seems to be what's happened. I absolutely believe David is more than deserving of the nomination and it is long overdue at this point. He should've been nominated for Des, or even before that, his role as Alec Hardy in Broadchurch, but I am so glad he's finally gotten a nomination now.

I think the reaction a lot of people had was borne out of how tied together David and Michael's performances are as Aziraphale and Crowley, and the thought that if David were to be nominated for that specific role, then one hopes that Michael will also be nominated for his role as Aziraphale at some other point in the future.

But to your comment about my keeping a level head, I find it interesting that, in the midst of all the theories flying around about why Michael wasn't nominated and questions I got to that effect, this post showed up in the tags the same day you sent me this Ask (blog name is cropped out):

This was very obviously in reference to this Ask that I received and had answered just prior to then. This person didn't even have the nerve to mention my blog by name, but had no problem calling me an "rpf fucker" (really nice...). The question pertained to whether Michael's lack of a BAFTA nom could have been because of Anna's off-putting social media posts prior to the announcement, and I indicated in my response that I did not believe this was the case. I am not about to place blame on Anna for something that she had no part of--which I suppose this person was hoping I would do, to give credence to their ludicrous claims of sexism--and I made my position on the matter clear.

So to your comment about me disagreeing, this was exactly what happened...and yet this person had to twist what I wrote so far around (to the point of lying by omission) just to make their point. And yes, I took that Ask seriously, as I take every Ask/Anon that I get seriously, even the ones that attack me (which is also why it takes me for-freaking-ever to answer the questions in my inbox). According to the above blogger, however, instead I should've responded to the person who sent the Ask by mocking them and telling them how ridiculous and stupid they are. Because just politely disagreeing while still allowing someone the space to share their thoughts is so horrible, but telling someone to fuck off is apparently the height of discourse. Ugh.

In any case, I am very much grateful for this message, and for you and everyone else who follows my blog and has been so lovely. It's your encouragement and kindness that gives me the drive to keep posting, so thank you! ❤️❤️

#genderqueer-hippie #reply post #personal post #and yes Michael is and continues to be David's number one fan #bless his bisexual Welsh chaos #fandom woes #to the people who keep coming for me and other RPF blogs on here #please have several seats #and try reading what i actually wrote instead of accusing me of ridiculous things #people can be awful sometimes #but then people can be wonderful too #and my followers are awesome #thank you all you lovely people for being here #<3

💐 so much love to you, darling and wonderful friend

you are so incredibly thoughtful, so sweet, so supportive, and such a delight and important part of this lovely fandom

your writing is incredible! i love your discussions and thoughts. thank you for being you and sharing yourself and your time with us

every time i see the stars i think of you! especially the pleiades

Question! for your twc ocs- what piece of media reminds them of their lis (books, letters, movies, music, memes, etc) 💕

hope you’re having an amazing day!

Wonderful person, thank you so much for your message *sobs* I've been rereading this message over the past few days and just want to hug it close to my chest <3

I hope you have an amazing day as well!

This was a great question to think about! I had so much fun figuring out which medium every OC would pick.

Yael for Nate: The painting 'Rough Sea with Wreckage' by Turner shown above. Although she doesn't know everything about Nate's past, the imagine of the lonely ship out on a rough sea makes her think about what Nate may have been through. It reminds her of the scene in the mirror, how could it not?

There's also the contrast between the light and the darker clouds, and it's unclear whether the ship is sailing into the storm or coming out of it. It makes her feel the tension of the unknown: the things she doesn't know about his past, the uncertainties of their future together. It's more emotion that she gets from this piece than anything articulated in words, but that suits her, I think.

Melike for Morgan: The poem 'i like my body when it is with your' by e. e. cummings. The physicality of the poem reminds them of Morgan, but there's also this sense of.. wonder, that "thrill" of something new that is mentioned at the end. Melike is very self-contained and it comes as a surprise to her how much they have grown to like Morgan's company. I can see her choose this poem because of the physical descriptions, but then get quiet and contemplative when going over it a second time, because of how those first lines suggest a change in her as well. It's about them, even though neither of them is quite sure what "they" are.

Gabi for Farah: The song I already like you by Dessa, because it's such an upbeat song! Gabi loves how Farah throws herself into their relationship, not holding back, she's open and honest and "Let's go!". The entire vibe of the song fits Farah so well, but what Gabi would pick out specifically is the "There's no sure bet // You just ride, ride, ride roulette" because she herself is the type of person who would want to be 100% sure before doing anything, but Farah is showing her that it's not all that bad to go for it.

Also, I can imagine Farah humming this song after picking it up from one of Gabi's playlists.

Laura for Ava: Laura is too cool for me lol! She would answer with a meme or a movie reference, but I don't know enough about either to give a good answer.

#oc: yael greene #oc: gabi sousa #oc: melike akyün #oc: laura kingston #<3 #sweet friend your message brightened my day #to hear the pleiades make you think of me :pleading face emoji: #hiding this in the tags but #thank you to all the wonderful people in this fandom #ily all #the previous year (years really) has been not the easiest #leaving me to struggle with taking up space in any way #among other things #but i'm finally working on it #and the kindness of you all means the world

now that im getting deep into my community hyperfixtation i dont wanna lose my byler hyperfixtation but just in case i do i wanna express my deep appreciation for byler and the fandom, i'd never felt like a part of anything before but even tho it's gotten toxic at times the byler fandom gave me a place to be silly and myself and it meant everything to someone who always felt alone and different, it gave me a sense of community (no pun intended 😭)

and i mean byler literally saved my life, i was going through one of the worst times of my life the past two years and byler pulled me through it, it was all i had, i cant tell you how many times putting mike wheeler in my situation made me feel better about it, because i imagined that he at least had will byers holding his hand. i also used to promise myself that i wouldnt kill myself until season five came out, and yeah thats not um the best i guess but it was the only thing i felt i still had left to live for

and now ive started to heal, ive found other reasons to live, ive found my irl will byers and though days are still hard as fuck its not like it was before and i know ive made it this far because my own hard work on myself but i still wouldnt have made it to here if i hadnt had something safe to cling to, an anchor in a storm if you will, and for me that was stranger things and byler, so yeah :)

#just writing this out so i can remember how much byler means to me #like i genuinely cant emphasise enough how byler SAVED. ME. #other people dont get it but its more than a show to me #anyway again thank you so much to the byler fandom and all the wonderful friends ive made along the way #i love you guys <3 #im so lucky i got to go crazy together with all of you #byler #save
