#which obviously the answer is yes

also no more outing myself directly to my friends, you will find out about pronoun and name change through the wonders of instagram stories where you talk abt yourself /hj

#I mean ... I love my friends I really do. but they're cis and ... idk sometimes you can tell #like not transphobic (obviously otherwise they wouldnt be my friends) but just ... cis #never had any doubts about their gender identity. they feel perfectly fine in this little label and never had any doubts #and that is great for them!! Genuinely!! but I also know that none of my gender feelings will make sense to them #I have tried trust me. they are supportive but also ... just confused and lost #bringing the questioning up to them feels like they expect you to have an answer or to help you discover the answer with simple quetsions #that you yourself had asked yourself a thousand times with no clear answer and they somehow expect it to work this time #I know they mean well!! I love that they're trying but also ... it usually just ends up making me feel frustrated and them slightly frustra #frustrated bcs it feels like I am being uncooperative when all they are trying to do is help #so yeah idk how to bring it up #bcs Idk what I am #I just know I don't like being refered to as a girl #I am either indifferent by it as in 'not really but also not really NOT so I guess that works fine' or 'I mentally recoiled' #which is ... not really clear #I might be vaguely ''girl shaped'' on some days #and on some days I am not #but that does not really explain what I am does it #am I male? idk I feel like maybe sometimes I am vaguely ''male shaped'' more so than girl shaped atm I think #but in the end it's always something else entirely I think. it might briefly resemble it but never for long and never entirely #yes I have been debating if 15 y/o me had it all down when they said 'biromantic-asexual genderfluid' #bcs ... yeah I've come to notice ace was actually pretty correct I am definitely somewhere on that spectrum #I am ... very unhorny and genuinely came to realize I do not find people 'hot'. I find them aesthetically nice to look at and that's it #bi ... yeah I had a few phases of doubts but by now I really can't deny that anymore #so 15 y/o me MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RIGHT ABT IT ALL #but I am not sure yet #and until I'm sure I'll ... just not say anything bcs I know it'll just end with confusion and awkwardness

This might've already been discussed in the fandom, but since I just jumped in, I need to know: what's the general consensus on the social media usage of The Corinthian?? Is he an IG hoe, or does he fly under the radar the whole time? Does he take pictures of Dream and post them or does he rather not? Does he act all smug around Lucienne because she can't stand social media? Does he have a secret Dream stan-account on Twitter?!?! I need to know!

#i personally think the answer to the last question is obviously a yes but that's just me #also Dream strikes me as the kind to just like social media in which he can read things #but to be fair dreams are very visual so maybe he does like IG #or maybe he likes Pinterest xDD HAH #corintheus #the corinthian x dream of the endless #the corinthian #the sandman #headcanons

Hi, I was wondering if you’ll ever make the old Patreon art/writing public since iirc you don’t intend to reactivate it for a long time? I was a member while it was active but I accidentally updated my app so I can’t view them anymore, I understand if you can’t/won’t though.

i can do that if people are interested! particularly thinking about those harvest festival snippets i wrote, those are well over a year (maybe even 2 years? time is fake) old and were on patreon the entire time & it's almost fall here... i say thru clenched teeth while it's still 100 degrees outside....

the majority of the snippets that were up were definitely like closing in on at least a year old so i do think it's been long enough and it would be fair to post them now... maybe i'll pick a random week and post them all one day at a time lmfao since iirc there's at least one for each companion (thinking specifically about the nsfw ones)

the art i don't plan to repost here though, mainly because i don't like it anymore 💀 but also because i dislike the way tumblr is handling their content moderation and i'm not interested in getting this blog flagged after 3 years because some human moderator decided my tasteful nude drawings of trans people (that 100% follow tumblr guidelines btw) are actually too offensive for their delicate constitution... but that's a whole other complaint for another post lmfao. i haven't had any issues at least with posting written nsfw so i'm less hesitant about posting that stuff instead.

but yeah i think maybe next month i can do the harvest festival snippets for october? i'll probably edit them a little bit since they're so old but i think that could be fun :-)

#i cringe to look at my old snippets but also it's something easy i can do for u all :-) #i actually had wanted to rewrite the old lea/merry snippet i had posted like one of the first pieces of Spicy writing i ever did #and i know she needs an edit BAD.... i had planned to rewrite it for patreon before i unlaunched it but obviously. i unlaunched it instead #and the one drawing i would repost is the one of merry which is Certain to get nuked bc she's a trans woman and tumblr hates that so #cool website! i hate it here #noel's could probably make it thru actually and i still like that one too... idk we'll see #unfortunately i am compelled to edit those too if i was to repost them #or at least lea's. their profile needs to be fixed #and unfortunately i really hate clem's lmfao i should just redraw that one completely #anyways. to answer your question finally. yes. lmfao #ask #anonymous

Medical transitioning isn't required for being trans.

And neither is social transitioning.

They reasons for you not transitioning literally don't even matter.

Even if you're the only person you ever tell you're trans is yourself, you're trans enough.

Being trans isn't /about/ transitioning. It's being yourself, even if the only person you can be yourself with is /yourself/.

#trans #transgender #nonbinary #transnonbinary #genderqueer #MOGAI #Queer #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQ+ #LGBTQIA+ #everyone's always talking about how medical transition isn't necessary to be trans #which is obviously correct #but it does forget that some people can't socially transition either #and I'm not even gonna list reasnons why that happens because again. #the reasons don't matter #not as far as ''can I call myself trans?'' matters #the answer is yes: you can. yes even if you don't tell anyone ever.

Hi, how was your show!!!??

Thank you for asking! It was great, OBVIOUSLY. I saw Louis play a short set in late 2019, but was not able to go to Walls tour, so this was my first time at a proper tour show (in Berkeley last night) and it was brilliant! I have been trying to figure out what to say besides that though cause tbh there are two posts I want to make. So… both? First for my recap- it was so loud, like the music was just normal concert loud but I had to plug my ears against the screaming between songs cause it was way louder- I just figured it was the in person experience difference but no, Louis confirmed, “you guys have been so fucking loud in here tonight, it's actually been hard for me to hear” so GO US! The chokingly thick haze of weed smoke (“I already feel the energy, I already feel the love, I can already smell the weed,” he was not fucking kidding) to usher in HIC in California (and all the other songs lol) didn’t diminish the energy a bit! Truly, there is nothing like the energy of shared live music, and meeting eyes of other fans (through the trees) and sharing that excitement. And seeing actual physical unmediated Louis, just existing in space being a real live human, yeah. Something.

I was like I'm not gonna bother to take pictures or anything, I just want to dance and hear and look, everyone else's pics will be better anyway but then the TECH, you guys know how much I love the fucking aesthetic of this tour and the screens were SO PRETTY in real life!! So in fact I KEPT getting my phone out for that so like... good one tech crew, you got me. Look for many low quality aesthetic posts of the screens incoming, sorry not sorry. Common People was SO PRETTY, his voice was so clear and lovely and I'm so glad that's been added in. WDBHG went HARD live, holy shit, SO FUN (tho tbh me as Louis thinking I know all the words to that song but it turns out there are a lot? And I do not? At least I was in the best possible company fumbling and mumbling through parts.) Heartbroken I didn’t get Saturdays live (honestly the one song I think might have been my exception to the next thing I’m gonna say) but so thankful for BTM🖤

But part two of this post is to say that watching the livestreams with you all is also brilliant and special and also lets me experience the beauty of Louis’ voice and presence and connection and the feeling of experiencing something together. I wasn’t able to go last year, and I know some of you (many many thousands worldwide!) won’t be able to go this year either or maybe ever, and I know you are seeing the posts telling you there is nothing like being there and you can't really know or appreciate Louis/ Louis’ voice/ the experience unless you are there in person and it feels sad and I want to tell you that I have done the research now and I don’t think that is true. Most people who go to the show won’t have a Y/N moment and be Perceived by Louis or be at barricade, and I don’t think the experience we are having online together is less real or profound than the live experience. His voice sounded fucking gorgeous and soaring and I loved it, but even if you are there it is mediated by all kinds of tech; I imagine getting to be present for an acoustic performance really would be something that couldn’t be replicated but I think a really good live through a clear speaker or a nice quality show video is in fact just fine. Some of the songs did hit me harder in person and get my blood pumping in a different way, yes- but others I actually think I get a fuller experience of in a chiller more focused environment when everything isn’t flying by as quickly. Like I don’t think the megamix would impact the way it does (UGH I LOVE IT SO MUCH) if I just saw it live once and done, for example. Anyway I’m just saying if you can’t make your own (go to the show) store bought is fine (hang with us at stream time! or just whatever online content). While I never intend to watch every stream in fact I am usually right here and love to chat and squee with people, come hang out, or just watch some videos and enjoy the magic.

#obviously overall HECK YES SO HAPPY but I have two complaints in addition to the Saturdays Issue #one is that the Snuts didn’t play Maybe California?? for their first california show?????? why do they hate me?!!! #to be clear it is ON THEIR SETLIST. AND YET. #and the other is something I’ve come up on before with these guys which is that being in the location where your show is always #the day BEFORE the one they are really excited about (LA)… is kind of a bummer🙈it is what it is and it's not a big deal but js #was about to say why can't any of them ever go in the other direction but LMAO NEVER MIND #the question answers itself 😂 #anyway I have more thoughts about live vs online experiencing of it all but ...another time #blah blah blah #fitfwt berkeley

[fuckin-sick-bih]

Feel free to explain why or why not in the tags or when you reblog if you want! I'm curious!

#not snz #just curious and I like making OC stuff so Im askin #tbh this is part of how I keep track of which OCs are my big ones #so my answer is obviously yes

[compacflt]

i love your insight! i don't read other fics so i'm mostly just invented in the world you created. super excited for the slider one shot!! anyway the memoir is from 2020, but this is something he apparently came up with in 1986 while filming because he was frustrated by the lack of character depth ice had and was just out of juilliard and essentially forced to be in top gun. so tgm ice is completely separate. he says he made up a backstory for ice, played up the rivalry between him and tom on set on purposed in true method fashion and had these dreams about ice which is what inspired him to do the bite in the locker room scene which was improv. he talks about it in the 2021 doc as well.

ahh i see. i hadn’t read it or seen the doc & this is super interesting! Val & i are united in our common task

#my absolute most controversial unpopular top gun opinion is i hate The Bite so maybe val and i are not united in our attempt to deepen ice. #maybe we are sworn enemies. #but YES tgm ice is completely separate #the very simple original question i set out to answer when i started writing my fic was— #how did they get from bitter rivals to besties-married in tgm? #& then it turned into my fic series which poses its own set of complicated questions obviously #so my analysis is incredibly biased by my own writing TRYING to unify the two ices so don’t like take it super seriously #asks

[stackthedeck]

y'all gotta stop opening your fanfics with descriptions of the weather

#like obviously do what you want #but like it's not purposeful most of them time #you're not setting the moon you sound like the narrator at the beginning of an early 2000s movie #which isn't the tone you want to set like a hurt no comfort fic #like ask yourself does the story still make sense if I remove this #if the answer is yes then ask yourself #does the story still work emotionally #are you foreshadowing the tone of the fic #or are you fucking describing new york city #tell me new information or at least frame old information in a new way #describe the city when it is emotional or thematically relevant #describing the streets of nyc at the start of fic? not great #describing the streets when x character is swinging through the sky with spider-man? much better #descriptions are good for letting the reader feel the world #but guess what it's fanfic i'm a spider man fan I now what NYC looks like #it's busy it's dirty it's cold in the winter #nothing new or particularly interesting #like i get it i've done these things too #but i believe in us #we can improve our craft #and like even if you do describe the weather for no reason if it brings you joy fine #but i'm already clicking out of it

Any artist has permission to draw my designs (whether of existing media or my own ocs) but please tag me if you do! Both because credit is good and also cause I want to see

#this is just in response to a comment I got on the horses #obviously other people can do their own horse designs too i don’t own the concept #but this was specifically a ‘can I draw your designs’ question #to which the answer is yes

[arcademgmt]

wonder if FV volo regrets that he has long since severed any chance to have a positive connection with yasuta but knows he deserves to have it be that way

#i am the one writing this. the answer is yes #despite the fact that he was the reason yasuta ended up in hisui. and that he used him obviously. i think he still cared in some weird way #which back then he would have never admitted and just rationalized in some other way #but nowadays. like scarvio era. i think he knows that he cared #and was trying to distance himself from any sort of genuine personal connection #but too bad. too late now because he's never going to look at you the same. and for good reason #he may have told you it doesn't matter anymore and all he cares about is that you're done pulling that world-reinventing shit #but you can tell that he is never going to really get along with you again. you have lost that connection #Sigh #magnus infodumps #floretverse

[woolmasterleel]

Oh? 👀 I'm very curious, would you like to elaborate on how different Kisaki used to be? :3

YES thank you for asking!! o(*°▽°*)o

He was such a shy little guy... he wasn't really confident in his work. He knew what he was doing, but there was always a lot of doubt in his mind. He would often get so lost in his task at hand that if someone said his name, he'd drop everything, his work was often messy.

His love life was also a wreck. He didn't care about having a relationship, but when he got close with Tagashei, impressing him and trying to tell him was on his mind way too much. Overall he was pretty much the opposite of what he is now.

Quick doodle because. You'd never know that these two are the same people. I am so proud of him, he's accomplished so much despite it all, he is so much more confident and comfortable and it makes me happy (❁´◡`❁)

(drawn like an 🤮rganic chemical reaction)

There are a lot of events that lead up to how he is now. Of course you could do another reaction with more Limbo and you'd have Alpha Decay (～￣▽￣)～

He was just a shy science student... now he's a husband, a father, a renowned scientist, and an entity that is incomprehensible to the human mind o(*°▽°*)o

#original character #OC #Ask #Kisaki Hizarou #Thank you for the ask!! I was going to go off tomorrow but had to answer this as soon as I could.. which still took a bit since I wanted to #doodle the comparison! #So the lesson is. Be carful of shy scientist. They may become incomprehensible entities #(I am waiting for my time to become one actually) #God I wish wouldn't that be fun #Yes he knew Tagashei way back when..... #Drawing young Sockee felt wrong since in my brain I was like ''yeah drawing the man'' but it obviously doesn't look like him #Kisaki would have so many words for his younger self though ;;;v;;; #Anyway yeah!! Thanks so much again! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

[vivitalks]

not to be like "dreams do come true" on the Jaded Cynics Dot Com website but when i look back at tag/ask games i answered from my high school days every question of "dream trip/vacation" is always "new york city" and. fuckin here i am less than a year out of college living and working in new york city. so like. dreams do come true

#stuff #it's really amusing to go back through old tag/ask games #and see which answers remained consistent and which ones changed #especially for a game i filled out more than once over the course of time #for example the question of 'do you use sarcasm' my answer has been slowly dwindling #started as 'obviously' and now it's a 'yes but not often' #but ask me to list my hobbies and theyre always more or less the same: writing and singing #idk man #seasons change people don't etc

[lunar-fey]

oh, skerples and i are dealing with no kh news pretty well actually. yeah i mean last night while we were doing the dishes we just listed off various characters and decided if theyd smoke weed or not. thats pretty normal tho i think

#specifically i made a joke comparing elias tma to bragi n then one of us went “do you think luxu smokes weed” #to which the answer was yes obviously. but then i was like “okay do you think BRAGI smoked weed” #and then “do you think luxu chooses his vessels based on whether or not they already smoke weed bc he doesnt want to force them to do drugs #and then from there we just started listing characters

[tripably]

So I saw something like this on instagram and I wanted to participate, except I've psyched myself out of ever posting anything over there and also a month-long challenge is too much of a commitment plus I wanted to make edits to some of the questions so here we go!

I'm not tagging anyone, this time, but I'm strongly encouraging anyone who sees this to join me in obsessing over music choices, and also editing and/or removing and/or adding new questions to the list, whichever way strikes your fancy<3

#yes i also left out some of the questions entirely bc obviously i'm much better at deciding what's interesting #no but like questions such as 'a song by an artist whose voice you love' like isn't the answer every single artist you listen to??? #but i want to discuss my choices so someone please ask about them <3 #also less than 50% on my list were in Finnish this time which is an accomplishment #not much less but still #it also took quite some concious effort not to have an artist or band twice on that list #btw i can't belive i've just now spent about 4 hours researching the best answers to this silly lil thing #freedom-wise? i love being laid off part time

i dreamt of her again

#this is so weird #ok story now #i met her on the internet in some facebook grupo abt one direction or something lol and since the first time i interacted with her she #seemed to be a very beautiful person. she was (is) fascinating to me #we started talking and became really close #we used to watch movies together and talk about everything all the time and yes #it was like… since the begging i knew that i was going to start feeling something more for her. it was weird because obviously we don’t even #know each other like in real life lol but i felt like i did… and one day i remember it was Valentine’s Day #she told me that she was in love with me and she wanted to know if it was mutual #and i was like no way this is not happening i remember it took me HOURS to answer to her because in that time #i was very bad. there was a lot going on with me i had depression and i wasn’t eating well and etc and oh #it took me hours to think about it but i told her that it was indeed very mutual #and so she told me that if i wanted to be her girlfriend and i was so happy #but i don’t know. it didn’t worked and it was because of me #and i know that it probably meant nothing to her but it did to me because she was the first woman that i liked #she made me realize who i was. and she made me feel beautiful and seen and she taught me so many things #and i still feel things for her i guess. which is kinda funny cause i don’t really know her #not anymore. we stopped talking to each other (also because of me i stopped talking to her because i felt horrible because i couldn’t make #that happen) and i think that’s what hurts me the most. i will always love her #and i don’t know english btw this is redacted like shit
