#update: i had an idea and now its rebloggable again

[master-gatherer]

It's fascinating how in reaction to the crab day idea half my dashboard is like "Tumblr is awful do not give them one red cent let the motherfucker burn" and the other half is like "let's save the rec center 🙂"

#do crab day dont do crab day #itll be a nice boost to the site but like its been pointed out it wont completely solve tumblr's money woes #but also it is $3 for crabs #like... no one's asking you to drop big bucks on this #hell you can just say no #this is like how every year ao3 does their fundraiser and people come on to scream about how its a waste of money #and how you should be giving it to someone more worthy #as if those donation posts arent passing the same $5 around to get by #or when the importan blue checks came out #people spending $3 on crabs would probably spend that $3 on something equally dumb or not at all #sorry #just dont participate #and make plans to lift stakes when tumblr finally goes under/starts really sucking b/c theyre gonna keep doing shit like this #until they go under or turn a profit #thats capitalism #and even if we get our glorious communist revolution social media will probably not make it to the communes #locked it down since crab day originator found it and well its out that theyre a pro-life terf so 🤷 blocked #anyway congrats on reblogging a godless heathen #your idea was cute anyway #update: i had an idea and now its rebloggable again #fyi: i block hard 🙃

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

I was in love with Dazai and every time saw his face I was just like “god damnit you hot fuck” but this was shorter

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

Uhhhhhhhhh on tumblr the BDSM Mafia!Dazai smut (surprise lmao) and from AO3 probably something SNK related since those have been on there the longest. Mixed maybe?

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

I think its the same one from my personal blog and idk I just like the manga aesthetic 

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

on tumblr yeah. well like..rebloggers. but i 1000% stalk the tags on all my reblogs. 

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

Siren of the Misty Seas by @yokohamastraydogs, a few recently good Chuuya smut fics on AO3 (i can only quench my own thirst for so long lmao), there was this one general fic on AO3 that revolved around Dazai’s POV but I haven’t been on in so long I can’t think of the name. Other than that the only other series I followed was written by wifey ( @dirtylevi ) for SNK and she hasn’t updated in ten millions years (: 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

none. i rarely use A03 tbh other than non-insert fics which I don’t have much of atm. 

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

Dazai staying in the mafia lmao. I can’t help it I just love him in those situations. 

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

fffffffffffffffffffffff idk on AO3 tbh but the OG blog had 2k and this one is at about 1500 rn. 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

Yes?? ish?? Smut related things are weird because I write smut for other people to enjoy but idk where everyone else’s kinks stop because I’m a kinkier mother fucker and not everyone is??

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

DIALOGUE. WTF IS THAT

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

pfdjkaslfjdklas;a i write no ships (which is why i rarely use A03) but platonic my favorites to write are chuuaku & odazai. I’d like to explore Kouyou and Chuuya’s relationship at some point. 

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

sO MANY. I have an entire series of all my SNK one-shots just grouped together, and then my now four BSD series. & two unfinished snk long-fics................................oops

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

Only the BSD series. All of my old SNK fics (which was a fucking lot) are on my graveyard of a DA profile.

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

Head. I write them out on the notebook Kazoo gave me when I have the time or else they clog my brain and I get annoyed.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nah

16. How did you discover AO3?

fuck if i know

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

Hell nah lmao

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

idk i call my followers kinky little fucks when im reading the tags??? 

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Yes, a lot of them do still. 

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Practice is the only way you’ll get better. 

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

Uhhhhhhh I have this problem of having one specific scene of a story and its usually a middle part and then i’m obsessed with it but the beginning? the end?? the fuck are those?

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Uh on one of my old smut fics for SNK someone said something about a lot of whores being on A03 like ??? what does that even mean?? the few times throughout the years ive only been slut-shamed on my smut lmao. and once about Aku shoving it in dry that started this whole salty debate about BDSM and the ignorance on tumblr was astounding. 23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

SMUT IS HARD. There are only so many words for “dick”. I’m a visual writer too so sensory details are my wheelhouse, anything else im like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, especially with motions in smut like 98% of my life is trying to imagine position switching in my head and then forming words to explain it.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

in my head? a lot. in real life? None because I have no god damn time.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

ask my graveyard of unfinished series.

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Writing at all is the only goal I have and even that’s not realistic.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Hell yea boiiii 

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

Unsettled [Levi] solely because the difference in my writing was like..ridiculous compared to my old style. I loved how it turned out. Like Smoke [Mafia!Dazai] has that same dark and kind of hazy feel to it and I love that series. That one where I fucked up Armin in a Zombie AU That one chuuaku fic that I don’t remember the name of.  That one where I fucked up Dazai and all the tags were turmoil and I loved it.

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

I hate the organization of TDOC. It’s on my list of re-writes tbh. Same with the BDSM centered mafia!dazai smut..thing..like it kind of ended up being this weird series-but-not and now I want to just...make it a collective thing because I have control issues and its bothering me.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Hopefully fucking writing and not running a fucking Aeropostale and wanting to stab my eyes out lmao

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

imagining it in my head

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

VERBS

33. Why do you write? Escape. Expression. Thirst tagging these thots: @bungou-stray-dogs-indulgences @yokohamastraydogs @scarletwrittenblack @nenufair
