it's weird to me that online content on foraging and camp/ bushcraft cooking never seem to overlap, at least not that I've ever found?? foraging recipes are always like 'wild mushroom risotto with chardonnay and arborio rice' and bushcraft cooking is always like 'first, unpack your ribeye you brought from home--' like what is going on here, surely 'guy who wants to camp out and cook over a fire' and 'guy who wants to eat some plants they found in the woods' cannot be completely separate venn diagram circles

For those interested in a sing-along: here is an English translation of the encore song from the Link Click Musical. (you know, the one one with the hug.)
The tentative title, supplied by a weibo user, is 追光者 "Zhuīguāng zhě" <- Recent lyrics call this 《追光的人》
Edit: It didn't hold up lol. Big thank you @chocolatexiaoshi for teaching me! 追光的人 means People who Pursue Light/ Chase Light/ or Seek Light . Some lyrics have been and will continue to be modified as we work on this!
追光 translates to “spotlight” in my dictionary. Literally, it means "to chase light" In this song, 追光 is personified as either 追光者 or 追光的人. Pretty cool term to use in a stage play! Google translates this as “light chaser.” I’ve chosen to go with “guiding light.” We will see how poorly that holds up to official translation ^^;
Each line punches the gut harder that the last. This song basically references the s2 ending, then ties it into the earthquake ark. It's brilliant. It hurts. Listen to the video while you read. Please enjoy :)
Disclaimer: As always, I am a novice translating for fun, because I want to sing-along and know what I'm saying. I can’t speak or read this language. If you've checked google translate, this doesn't add much extra, but! this post conveniently includes Hanzi, Pinyin, and English for you to reference + a few notes. I've primarily used Pleco, inputting word by word, with mdgb.net/google for extra clarification. I'm learning, but fairly confident that this is reliable, though not fluent. Please reach out about any mistakes you find!

link to origin lyrics: one, two , and a thank you to @sgdlr-asdfghjkl for providing them!

Thoughts on Daggerheart!!
I'll admit I haven't really been following it until today, but after watching the videos released today I got very excited and ended up building a character and reading a lot of the book, as I am wont to do (might post about them later lol).
Now, full disclosure, I wouldn't say I'm all that familiar with the TTRPG space outside of D&D, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. That said, I've played D&D, Wanderhome, Alice is Missing, and the fan-made Hollow Knight TTRPG, and I've watched some AP of Kids on Bikes, Call of Cthulhu, Monsterhearts, and Candela Obscura, which is a longer list than I was expecting. Huh. Anyways, my thoughts!
I really like the duality dice! It's such an interesting way to do mixed success that incorporates story/character into mechanics, which is great.
Related to that, I also like Hope as a fluid resource, and I think that Fear is a nice way to both prompt GM action and to just create a fun sense of dread as the GM takes more tokens
The lack of turn order/action economy is... cool, and a really interesting idea, but my thoughts on this are complicated. As we're seeing in the oneshot right now, it really helps to keep combat as part of the story and give the players and GM room for creativity. (For example, Bunnie describing a counterstrike as part of her dodge, and being able to take it as soon as the GM's turn is over, as well as the tag team feature, which is very cool.) That said, I think this mechanic might not work so well with less experienced or less confident players, who might have trouble taking the initiative (heh) to act in combat (I know I certainly would if I wasn't playing with close friends). That's not really a criticism though -- this is a collaborative storytelling game, and part of playing it is making big moves and taking turns guiding the story. If that's not for you, then you might prefer a different system, which is fine! I think this mechanic has the potential to be really, really dope, but I also think it's the bit that has the most potential to go poorly in my eyes.
The art, design, and general aesthetic feel of this game are so unbelievably up my alley. I love it. That's all.
I'm excited to see that they're working on mechanics for playing disabled characters, but since they aren't out yet I can't really comment. (I did notice that the character in the bard art is in a wheelchair, which is dope.) Also, as others have noted, Daggerheart uses "heritage" and "ancestry" rather than "race", which is a small but good choice.
Personally, I also really like the choice to move away from precise measurements of distance and gold. This one is very much a personal preference, and I know some people will rightfully disagree, but I like it! As a DM, trying to determine the appropriate costs and rewards for things has always been a headache, and this seems much easier to manage; measuring distances with convenient and tangible measurements like the short side of a playing card or the length of a piece of paper also feels much easier to use.
The downtime mechanics are great! Each of the activities you can take prompts you to describe how you heal yourself or another, destress, repair armor, or prepare yourself for what's ahead, which really encourages quieter character moments both introspectively and with others. I'm a big fan of this. This combining of role play and mechanics is also present in other features, such as one of the major level 1 healing abilities, which is more effective if you spend the time it takes to cast learning something new about the person you're healing or sharing something about yourself.
I didn't look at this too closely because I was just making a character for fun and don't have a party to play with, but as part of character creation you're given questions about your relationships to your party members to answer. Wanderhome also has these, and they were MASSIVELY successful in creating depth and meaningful connections between players -- after our table's session zero I was already so invested in all our characters, and when we actually played them they really came to life. I haven't looked to closely at Daggerhearts version of this, but I'm very excited to see them.
The experience mechanic seems really fun and creative, and I especially like the idea of using a phrase rather than something specific. That said, when I played the Hollow Knight TTRPG, which also lets players create their own skills, the open endedness of it was more confusing than inspiring, and there was a lot of potential for a usefulness disparity between players. I do think Daggerheart explains it better, though, and limiting the use of experience with a Hope cost helps to counteract any choices that might be too broad, so hopefully it will work better
I probably have more thoughts, but it getting late and I have a headache, so that's all I'm saying for now :D
Overall, Daggerheart has combined a lot of things I've liked in other games with promising mechanics I haven't seen before, and I'm very excited to try it out. I'm now realizing that I just made a list of things I like without any negative feedback, which isn't what I wanted to do, but I'm not really sure what to criticize without having played it myself.
I'm most curious to see how the non-initiative mechanic works; it has the potential to be a really excellent solve for a major problem in D&D (plenty of people have talked about how initiative limits teamwork, can be boring when its not your turn, etc, so I won't get into it here), but I don't think it's a solution that will work for everyone. Of course, games can't work for everyone, and shouldn't try to. It's working really well on CR's oneshot as I write this, but making choices and sharing spotlight in TTRPGs is literally their job, so I'm not surprised this works for them. I could see this going really well with some tables I've played with, and really poorly with others. I'm still really optimistic, though; it seems like the kind of thing that with the right table could be really excellent.

Firstly just want to say I love your posts and opinions <3 Sorry this is a bit long, I only lurk around so I wanted to share my thoughts with someone (if that’s alright!)
As a Lando fan through all his teammates, I really love his dynamic with Oscar the most. I love that Lando always brings up how good Oscar is (even though everyone in the world loves to spread the narrative that Lando is washed because a rookie beat him*), and I love that Oscar is always supportive of Lando’s achievements too. They both put the team first before all else, and what happens in the race will stay in the race (no hard feelings after). Despite what the media pushes them to say or the narratives in articles, they both have a quiet understanding of each other and a lot of respect. What they have now is really sweet and I’m really hoping none of this would change for the years to come, even if they have a race winning car. Of course as a Lando fan first, I want him to win all the races, and I’m sure Oscar fans want Oscar to win all the races, but I hope that everyone can also learn to let what happens in a race stay in the race, just like them. For me anyone who shades/hates on either of them in any way just gets an instant block, I don’t want to hear it <3
*I hate how people always turn to shitting on Lando instead of saying Oscar is also good and equally competent?? I know Lando is supposed to be more experienced but he’s also young and he’s apparently never allowed to make mistakes. And I think not giving Oscar the credit is also disrespectful to him.
I also do hope this year they are even more comfortable with each other and will hang out more outside of races (even if they don’t share it). More than the media stuff, I am always so much more happy when they do something on their own, like how we found out Oscar was also in one of the planes from the recreating Instagram photos video, or that photo of them playing cards, that photo of them eating together in the paddock, or “what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas” that still haunts my mind….. (hate Vegas GP though, burn it).
tldr; Oscar is good for Lando and Lando has always been good in Oscar’s eyes, and can next season come faster
tysm anon and I'm sorry to be so late replying !!
god I am the same anon - I don't personally have favorites bc his dynamic with Carlos and Daniel was so much abt him being the baby duckling (and that on track Lando struggled privately w insecurity so much his rookie season whereas his confidence was building separate from what Daniel was experiencing). but what I love about the Oscar era is the way Lando just like, blossomed into McLaren being his home and his team when Oscar made such strong gestures to acknowledge Lando that way.
like so many ppl questioned Lando's ability to be in the senior/experienced/leadership role and wondered if he'd always prefer to be a little brother for a couple more years yet (and I think Lando wondered that too).
god yea I am so happy to leave ppl who try to pit teammates against each other in their own filth. like, enjoy being full of impotent rage ig?? bc apart from a VERY few instances these teammates are always able to be professional - and if they were already friends, remain friends. not only has Andrea instilled this from the start with Lando and Oscar, neither of them literally ever has had a history of friction w teammates or w each other. we've been through Monza before their relationship had even gotten settled so we're fine lol
and anon so far I'm genuinely amazed at how much content we're getting of them, of their own volition and McLaren's sm. the McLaren media fell off so hard right when the double podiums happened so I was worried that was how it was going to stay for 2024. hopefully stays this way!

I am, as usual, late lol, but Y'KNOW. This is gonna be a long, rambly post lol, sorry, I have a lot of thoughts.
2023 was a weird year for me, artwise. When it began I was still deep in my Art Block From Hell, which had begun in mid-2021 and lasted the entirety of 2022.
Being in the thick of such a ridiculously suffocating art block, for TWO AND A HALF YEARS, is like... I can't describe how fucking life-draining it is. It felt like something was fundamentally wrong with me -- like a part of me, which used to be as effortless as breathing or blinking my eyes, had ceased to function altogether. It wasn't just a regular art block, it was a complete identity crisis. I could no longer trust the instincts I'd honed over twenty-plus years, could no longer trust my sense of observation or my ability to recreate what I saw. I felt BROKEN, and every single time I picked up my tablet pen it was like I was scraping my insides with a spoon, trying to pick up whatever tiny dregs of dried-up, crusty shit I could manage to puke up onto my canvas. It was fucking painful and humiliating and completely demoralizing.
I'm not really sure what finally got me to do so, but sometime in summer (my memory is shit lol) I downloaded Game Maker, found a video tutorial on youtube, and just... gave myself over to it. I made myself learn how to use Aseprite, and working with pixels, making teeny-tiny little sprites, forced me to work in ways I usually don't. It was a lot harder for me to find the flaws in my art when my art was thirty-five pixels tall and the anatomy was stylized to communicate clear information rather than be a recreation or approximation of reality. I think I really do credit that time working on game dev as the thing that finally cracked loose all the gunk that was keeping me stuck -- I could not perpetuate the cycle of toxicity I'd fallen into because I could barely even conceptualize what 'good' or 'bad' pixel art even looked like lol. I just knew that I was making art, and for the first time in two years, it didn't feel like I was having to desperately beg the emaciated husks of my sense of self-worth and confidence to cooperate while doing so.
(I actually sort of abandoned my foray into game dev around August/September lol, as my adhd-brain, flitting around like a little hummingbird to every dopamine-rich-flower, is wont to do 🥲 But I wanna get back into it at some point!)
From there I had a rush of inspiration for an original project I've been mulling around in my head for years, and I wrote thousands of words in my worldbuilding document, made a map, developed the shell of a possible actual STORY. I returned to sketching. Conventional sketching. It was, at first, largely still comprised of that same demotivating struggle against myself, but I was so deep in the throes of inspiration (after several years of this project laying dormant in my google drive) that I NEEDED to sketch. So I kept going. And after a while, it got....... easier. And I started hating everything I made a little less. I painted, properly, for the first time in years. I stayed up late into the night, even if it meant I would be tired at work the next day, because drawing felt so damn GOOD again and I had missed that feeling so much. All I wanted to do was draw. For the first time in two and a half years, I could finally see the light at the end of the fucking tunnel.
I still don't think I'm quite out of the woods yet. My style is changing, as all artists' styles do over time, and that comes with stumbling adjustments. My confidence is still small and shaky and recovering; I still catch myself second-guessing what I've drawn, and even looking at some of the things here on my grid makes me cringe a little bit for one reason or another.
But compared to both 2021 and 2022, the volume of art, and in particular the volume of art I don't actively despise, is WAY higher, and I'm really really hopeful that that means I'm finding my footing again.
So! Here's to 2024, and to continuing to move towards the light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🌟 I'm gonna try.

Hello !! Hope you're having a good day whenever you see this ! I was wondering if maybe I could request Whit with a reader (either platonic or romantic I really don't mind) who struggles with intrusive thoughts considered taboo and are scared that those thoughts mean something about who they are when they don't, how would Whit comfort them? If you don't want to write this that's perfectly fine !
Omg I literally feel this request in my soul, I can totally write this!
A little note before I begin: I've been diagnosed with OCD for years (not in a "omg I must have OCD because I'm neat, how quirky of me lol" way, I've been actually medically diagnosed) and I know all too well what it's like to have intrusive thoughts, as well as how horrific and debilitating they can be. So I feel it's important to say to you and anyone else struggling with this that having intrusive thoughts does NOT make you a bad person in any way shape or form. The whole point of intrusive thoughts is that they're uncontrollable thoughts that mess with you and target your morals, that's why they're so anxiety inducing. The fact that it bothers you is proof that you don't like or believe in the things that pop into your brain, so please believe me when I say these thoughts do not represent you as a person. I wish you the best in dealing with these thoughts, and I hope at the very least they become more manageable in the future!
On to the request!
Whit with an S/O who suffers from intrusive thoughts
Warnings: Intrusive thoughts (not specific)
Gn! reader
Tumblr media
-Let me start by saying he doesn't believe that your a bad person at all
-Whit doesn't struggle with anxiety and his doesn't know a ton about anxiety disorders, but when you confide in him about your struggles with intrusive thoughts, he begins to do some digging
-The more he learns about intrusive thoughts and what they actually are, the more he sympathizes with you. He can't imagine how hard it is for you to deal with them on a daily basis
-But he also admires how strong you are for being able to deal with intrusive thoughts and persevere despite them
-He's very quick to reassure you that you're not a bad person, and reminds you that you can't control your thoughts
-Sometimes you hesitate to tell him about the contents of your thoughts out of worry that he'll be disgusted, but Whit assures you that he knows you can't control them and he doesn't think your thoughts reflect on you as a person
-Now that he knows that you struggle with intrusive thoughts, he quickly begins noticing when you seem to be having a particularly bad thought or are having a moment where your being bombarded by them
-He knows that there's not a lot he can do to stop the thoughts, so he relies on his ability to distract you to give you a break
-He starts joking with you, shows you funny videos he found, tells you a story, he might even fake a fall if it'll get you to focus on him instead of the thoughts
-Basically his strategy is be louder than the thoughts and they'll go away (he knows it may not work but it's the best he's got)
-If you're ok with him touching you, he'll wrap you in a hug while he talks as a way to physically ground you. If you don't want to be touched in that moment, he completely understands and will give you your space
-He's down to listen talk to you about your experiences with intrusive thoughts, it helps him both understand what you've been through more and how to help you better
-He does suggest you seek professional help at some point, because as much as he tries he's not a professional in mental health
-He's a very understanding guy, and he would never dream of judging you over something you can't control

Does anything hurt on you right now? Of course.
What song's stuck in your head? Mr Take Yo Bitch. lol.
Did anyone ever tell you that earwigs crawl into your ear while you sleep? STOPPPPP.

Bellringer x Prethinker Headcanons
Hooray I'm finally back to writing HCs! I kept having to delay coming back to these further and further because life kept happening. Now I can finally write my own dang request to myself... lol.
🔔🧠These two were unlikely friends for a while, and both of them realized they'd grown feelings for each other.
🔔🧠Brian would've just kept it to himself or gone into full panic mode trying to decide how to confess, but not Ben. He made the first move and was like, REALLY flirty throughout the entire confession.
🔔🧠Brian is SPEECHLESS... and very red. He tried to get himself to say some kind of nonsense about how intellectuals didn't let emotions sway them, but it came out as, "Uh... Ben, um... myself... uh... I... m-must be malfunctioning... I-"
🔔🧠Poor guy was so embarrassed that Ben had to help him calm down to actually articulate a response. And no, he wasn't malfunctioning.
🔔🧠After an uncomfortably long silence, Brian finally sheepishly admits that he likes Ben too.
🔔🧠And that's how they started dating...
🔔🧠Ben LOVES to pick up his boyfriend. It makes Brian get really embarrassed every time, but he actually really enjoys it.
🔔🧠He's also really flirty all the time because he thinks it's fun to embarrass Brian.
🔔🧠Brian will want Ben to be as happy as possible, so he will make entire spreadsheets, forumulas, ETC. trying to calculate and take note of the best things to say or do in every possible scenario he can think of. Ben keeps trying to tell him to just be himself and not try to impress him, but it doesn't seem to get through to him yet.
🔔🧠Ben's healing bell not only heals Cog HP, but it also has a calming effect on Cogs. He will use that to his advantage if Brian starts getting too stressed and anxious {which is often}.
🔔🧠When he's overhealed from Ben, Brian gets pretty overconfident in his ability to fight toons. This confidence can be easily shattered if one of the toons asks him why he's overhealed because he won't want to admit he got help from another Cog- especially to the toons!
🔔🧠Both of them are really good at cooking, but they absolutely CANNOT be in the kitchen together. Ben is more about "cooking with passion makes it taste better" while Brian is incredibly particular and scientific about his cooking. Also, Brian will point out every single health code violation that Ben made {even if it's as minor as hot holding food for 5 minutes at 160°F when it's about to go on the table at room temperature anyways}.
🔔🧠So they take turns cooking meals while the other does the dishes since it was the best compromise they could come to.
🔔🧠Surprisingly, Brian actually sometimes calls Ben pet names. Usually it's half sarcastically, but he does do it occasionally. By the way, most of the time the pet name is honey.
🔔🧠Instead of asking for help, if he needs to reach the top shelf he basically tries to do the typical standing on his tippy toes, jumping up and down, getting a stepping stool, or just outright climbing to get the thing he wants. If Ben notices this happening, he'll get the thing and tell him to just ask him for help next time {he won't}.
🔔🧠Ben will gossip about anyone and everyone, and Brian likes to listen to all of it. But he also likes to secretly get "equal revenge" on anyone Ben doesn't like, ranging from breaking into their house to replace all the batteries with dead/almost dead ones to just straight up doing whatever they did to Ben back to them.
🔔🧠Once he catches wind of this, he'll ask Brian to stop because it is hurtful even if it's funny. So instead they end up becoming that couple that gossips about EVERYBODY and just judge from a distance. Since talking poorly of people behind their backs is definitely not hurtful!
🔔🧠Ben is now really into [insert video game you think Brian would play here] because Brian forced him to play it.
🔔🧠Basically imagine an anxious nerd dating a really flirty guy who doesn't ever shut up and that's their relationship dynamic LOL.

Hii! Congrats on your milestone! ✨️✨️
Could I please get a match up with bsd?
First of all, I'm an entp leo so that alone says a lot about me. I love playing devils advocate and I never back down from a fight. I'm pretty confident and easy going. I'm also really extroverted and loove have fun with friends and going to parties! I love getting to know new people but even tho I have a lot of friends, I have a very few really close friends that I really trust. I also really enjoy flirting with people especially on parties (I actually got into a lot of trouble because of it lol)
My style is more of a grunge/alt/vintage and I have a lot of tattoos. I'm really into witchcraft (tarot, zodiac, herbs stuff like that), baking, reading and writing too, embroidery and a lot of artsy stuff. But besides that I love math, learning new languages and cultures. My major in college is actually Japanese studies and I'm really into modern japanese literature. My side interests are also psychology, criminology and a little bit video games.
People often tell me that they are really comfortable with me and I'm trustworthy and I'm pretty happy about that fact. Personally I think that I'm pretty fun person to be around, you can go to a club with me to have the best party or we can read a book in a park and I can make a flower crown or whatever.
So yeah, I think thats all.
Thank you in advance and once again congrats on your milestone!!
Have a wonderful day/evening!

A/n: tysm honey, and here you go :>
Tumblr media
I match you with...
Tumblr media
Nikolai Gogol!
Let me just say, this one was HARD! I think that you match a lot of people but I ended up going with him cause it just felt more right🚶🏻‍♀️
Dazai would be a good match for you too btw
I think Nikolai would be really attracted to you. He has met A LOT OF PEOPLE, so he knows that confident people have something hidden up their sleeves. It doesn't have to be something evil; everything's fine as long as it's interesting :>
Backing down from fights aren't his thing either. He may not use his strength in fights, but he will try to enjoy it as much as he can, and by that I mean watch his enemy suffer as he uses his ability on them. He might let the fun last for a while, or get rid of them and go to the next target, based on the circumstances.
Nikolai LOVES the company of others, just like you. They don't necessarily have to be fun; he gets his way as long as he teases them, and believe me; that teasing would definitely contain Flirting if the person is shy or gets flustered easily. but with you the case is a bit different. It's not teasing anymore, its like a contest; leading you to use all kind of pick up lines, even the most embarrassing ones on each other, to see who will get a reaction out of the other one. Others would think of you as lame or weird, but you don't care about that; not as long as you're having fun with your s/o.
PRANK WARS. I can definitely see you two have a prank war with each other. Sigma and Fyodor are sick of you two for this, because your pranks usually effects them (mostly Sigma), Instead of each other. But prank war is also a fight, and since you two will never back down, it's gonna be like that for a while until something more interesting attracts your attention cuz dude, none of you are gonna wave the white flag.
You into video games? HUH!
I can see you two betting on even the simplest stuff just to have an excuse to play video games. Nikolai can be VERY competitive, and since he has a high Stamina (both sexually and physically), you end up playing hours on video games, and always asking for a rematch after the end of the round.
Nikolai knows a few languages (in fact he's fluent in them). Russian, Ukrainian, English, Japanese, etc. You can count on him to be your mentor, but don't get mad at him if he accidentally taught you a curse word and said that it meant "Hello" lol.
Nikolai needs someone hes comfortable around. I mean DUH! everybody wants that; but it's way more important to him. He needs to be free, and the feeling of being trapped in a relationship with someone he's uncomfortable with isn't exactly the definition of "Free"
Make a flower crown for him. PLEASE. He will melt. He loves affection. Loves you to run your fingers through his hair, adoring the scent of coconut shampoo you bought for him as you tell him how much you love him. Unlike his usual attitude, he would go quiet; but believe me, he appreciates it from the bottom of his heart.
Just play along with him if he's messing with somebody. It would mean a lot to him :)
tysm for participating in my event!
I WON'T BE TAKING ANY REQUESTS FOR MY EVENT ANYMORE

Hey, I don’t mean to startle you like in any sort of way, but I’m a subscriber to your channel and the first video I saw on your channel was “Ms. Mae’s doctor office” and realized you privated/taken down the video? Is there a reason why you privated it? Hopefully this question doesn’t sound rude, Ty!
Don't worry, this didn't sound rude!
Honestly I felt kind of weird about that video, even though I worked hard on it, it just seemed kind of cringey looking back on it? I just get nervous worrying if it's really not that great, I don't want to be known for some poorly made video and have it spread for all the wrong reasons lol. It just sort of reminds me of shitty creepypastas? Idk I get weirdly anxious worrying that stuff I make that isn't just stupid fun, might be tone deaf or poorly made. Which isn't out of the question since I'm not really a writer or storyteller at all. I'm not too good at that stuff.
I guess what I'm saying is; I'm not super confident in my ability to tackle serious topics without being tone deaf or cringe, and I don't want whatever attention might come my way because of it lol. It seemed well received- but I'm still nervous about it... idk maybe I watch too many peoples career's die over the smallest of things lmao. I may put it back up since I didn't delete it, just set it to private... but idk.

Requests and Rules
Tumblr media
Hello! I am new to tumblr but thought it be fun to try out and use to get out some one shots, extras from my in-progress stories, etc;
I write on Wattpad, Ao3, Quotev, and fan fiction.net under the usernames Nerd101, NeedAlert101, and ArmyBratz101 for those of you who may have heard or read my stories before. This is my first post! And I’ve decided to start off with requests. To me get started, afterwards, some time in the future, we’ll see whether or not I’ll continue doing requests once I get the ball rolling.
Fandoms:
Doctor Who
Danny Phantom
DC
Marvel
Twisted Wonderland
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
One Piece
Percy Jackson
Miraculous Ladybug
Transformers (specifically Bayverse, but I’m open to the other versions as well. Just be specific)
Twilight (limited, I'm very picky with this one)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Persona 5
How to Train Your Dragon
Avatar the Last Airbender
Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
Fate (Be specific which one)
My Hero Acadamia
Supernatural
Lucifer
Good Omens
(More will most likely be added on in the future.)
What I Can and Am Willing to Do:
Crossovers; I’ve always find it fun twisting the stories and universe in ways so two worlds can exist as one, or just how one person from a different world is like in another.
Reader inserts; I’m meh at them (haven’t done too many) but depending on the request I might do some. But don’t get your hopes up.
OCs; it’s fun making up characters from a different world, but I will only do my own. You want to request an OC from a certain world, great! Just if you want a specific detail (ability, world they’re from, personality trait, people to interact with, good/bad/antihero, love interest, etc;) just tell me and I’ll add that in! These OC’s can also be used for requests in the future once finished (I’ll even draw them).
AUs; I love them and and always enjoy writing them. Such as soulmates, fantasy, mafia, monsters, etc; been original made up ones you guys have in mind, I’m willing to try them out! There are just only two Aus that I won’t do, and they will be specified in my ‘Don’ts’ list.
Fluff; give me the fluff!
Hurt/comfort; some of these babies have been through a lot. And I will gladly write stories that give them the love and strength that they deserve.
Angst; I’m suprise at myself at how GOOD I actually am at writing angst. It almost scares me 😅. But just to let you know, the angst I wrote will always turn out alright and happy, even a little fluffy, at the end bc I can’t write sad endings to save my life.
happy endings; not much to say. Summed it up pretty much in the Angst rule. I hate unhappy endings, ‘nough said.
Extras; if you’re a reader of my content and stories from the fan fiction sites and want something that are not shown in the books, like an au or scene between episodes/chapters then go on and request some. Even aus or different way things could have happened in my stories go ahead and ask!
Music Videos; I like doing them, they’re fun. I’ve been making some from over the years with my hoards of photos and fan art I’ve found and saved over the years lol. But yeah, I’ll most likely post some I’ve already have, but if you have a certain song or fandom, go ahead and request!
(More will most likely be added on in the future.)
What I Won’t Do:
Smut or any kind of NSFW; I will write kisses, cuddles, and other romance couple things, but it’s going to be very safe and PG.
Alpha/Beta/Omegas; it ties in with smut and NSFW for me, I know that’s not the thing all the time, and there are a couple of stories in this au that I like, but I don’t feel confident enough to write this while making it comfortable for me and sticking to the au. So, just to save me the pain, no, I will not do this au. Sorry if that disappoints you guys.
Yandere; I like this content on occasion, but I will not be able to write this for the life of me. I put myself in the characters’ I write shoes, as if I was living the adventure with them. So I can’t write this in that case. Angst is one thing, this is something else entirely. Again, sorry for those of you that are disappointed, but I gotta put my foot down on things that make me uncomfortable.
Sad/Unhappy endings; I kinda mentioned/glossed over this already. But I’m putting down anyway, just in case. I can write sad and angst things but I always gotta end light or happy. If I don’t, then it most likely means I’ll be doing a continuation of that particular story/one shot.
(More will most likely be added on in the future.)
This is just the beginning. Direct message me, or go to the ask box. I will be waiting, in the mean time, I will most likely be writing some stuff on my own in between requests. I hope you enjoy my work!
Be Your Best You! Bye~!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞
Thank you! Um... now I actually have to think...
Low Profile
My first trigun fic (written while stampede was still airing) so I've got a lot of fondness for this one. Basically Vash getting himself into trouble sneaking off to help a town's plant and the gang coming to the rescue, which is a fun little premise, and Wolfwood being all angsty about it.
Sometimes it's not only glass
My second trigun fic lol, but I enjoy putting Vash through the wringer, and it also gave me a little more confidence writing from his pov. Just, you know, thinking about July and what particular triggers it could leave him with.
Gaining ground
Ah Overwatch... my biggest obsession for seven whole years. I'm still sad how the game's been treated (and not please with Blizz as a whole). But man does it have some interesting characters. And, look, I know Junkrat is always played as a joke in canon, but the guy grew up in a nuclear wasteland and has zero clue how to function in regular society. He's twenty-five, he never learned the morals we take for granted, he's dysfunctional, paranoid, obnoxious, he wants friends but has no idea how to make them, I want to study him like a bug?
So yeah I wrote about him joining Overwatch and D.Va and Lucio realizing he's around their age and inviting him to play video games? And him somehow having to navigate all of that and figure out what it is he wants?
It's my longest fic, and I have a bunch of side-fics for it too from other character's povs. Just... very fond of this fic/series as a whole, and I do want to finish it eventually.
No face but my own
Borderlands is such a comfort game series to me. I poured a lot into this fic, but sadly it never got much attention (which I think is probably largely to do with the fact it's a gen fic following a dlc character for an older game).
At the time, I was going through a bout of depression, and I hadn't written for a long time. Was feeling like maybe writing just wasn't something I had the ability to do anymore. But, I started writing this one as little snippets. Just a few unconnected paragraphs for scenes. And slowly it began to grow.
Timothy Lawrence is like... a mess. Like, such a mess. But that was what resonated with me, and honestly pouring out the sense of stagnation and listlessness and the lack of control over your own life, the bitterness and self-loathing, not wanting to die but not feeling like you're living either, losing touch with a craft that had used to be special to you...
Putting all of that to paper was cathartic. I mean, I never had full body plastic surgery, got disfigured by my boss and then trapped on a casino full of people trying to kill me for seven years, but it's more about the emotions? This fic was kinda personal so I'm sentimental over it.
A Different Number
I'll be real with you... Detroit: Become Human is not a good game. It's even a problematic game. But I'm an absolute sucker for androids?
RK900 doesn't really exist as a character (he gets a few seconds screen time in one route ending) but the general fandom interpretation of him is as this cool, big bad Conner who's meaner and more cold/logical than his predecessor. But I figured... let's make him a little ridiculous.
He wasn't around for the uprising, history has already happened and he's the most advanced model ever made but no one needs him, and every single human keeps mistaking him for Connor. He's got massive feelings of inadequacy comparing all he's done (nothing) to all the other androids have done, and the fact he's always in someone else's shadow, paired with a massive ego from being 'better' than them (which he clings to cos it's all he has that's noteworthy).
He's petty and immature and he carries a potted plant around with him to murder scenes because he can't let his coworker assassinate it but can't let him win by leaving it at home. It's just a really fun personality to write?

And Strange Moons Circle Through The Skies...
Tumblr media
AN: heheheh harvey sequel go brrrr. Okay this is a slight embellishment of me actually fighting the [spoilers] in the game (mainly because i don't remember that well lol) (and also im adding psychology to what in actuality was “red health bar must hit must go down to zero” with no remorse because i, azurdly, am playing a video game) (harvey is a bit unlikeable here but oh well)
Word count: 1k
CW: general blood/injury but nothing that wouldn't be pg-13, alcohol/potentially implied light alcoholism
Tumblr media
My curiosity and confidence in my sickle weilding abilities have beaten back my common sense. I want to explore what's in my backyard. I want to see what the Mole Miners prevent me from knowing.
"You sure about this, Harvey?" Punk asks me before I go. "Those Mole Miners are no joke."
I smile. "They can't be any worse than super mutants or those things that go bump in the night."
"Look, just be careful, okay?"
"I promise I'll be careful," I swear to him as I strap on my gas mask. "Plus there's only one way to know what's beyond their base. What if there's orange juice? What if they're hiding it?"
"I know, I know," he tells me. "I just worry that one day you won't come back. And then I'll have to take care of this base all by myself. And I don't want to do that."
I think long and hard before responding, "I swear I'll make it back alive, Punk. Can't leave my best friend on a cliffhanger."
I see Punk flex his hands and flick his fingers before giving me a silent nod and walking back upstairs to his radio station. I bite the inside of my cheek and head out the door.
The green foliage soothes my anxious nerves as I begin my crusade. The atmosphere desaturates the further I walk up the mountain. I brandish my Juggernaut sickle. I can take on any foe with that in my hand.
I hear the scraping of the Mole Miners in the area. I can tell they're close. I climb up the tower to some abandoned office and wait for one to venture up the stairs. Divide and conquer, baby.
A shot to the arm notifies me that I need to get to work on them. I shut my brain off, my only thoughts being swing sickle and inject stimpack if my heart starts to go.
Hack, hack, hack. Stab, stab, stab.
Before I know it, I feel the adrenaline leave my body knee deep in mutated bodies. I take deep breaths. I'm drenched in blood. I don't know if I love it or I hate it. I keep going up the road.
I se a pack of super mutants off in the distance and veer the other way before they spot me. I don't have super mutant killing energy in me today. All I want to do is explore and scavenge. And I've found some good scrap so far!
Further up the mountain and off in the distance, I see the light of a fire illuminating a crude structure. What is it? I move closer to find out.
As I get closer, I see the Mothman cultists surrounding it. Sadly, my arrival was not subtle, so they see me. A shame too. I add a couple more bodies to my long list of everyone and everything I've killed. It's kill or be killed outside of the vault I've learned; and if you attack me, I won't hesitate to fight back. My mom and dad want me to rebuild this place since they no longer can. My mom and dad deserve one last gala at Camden Park.
"They deserve this!" I hear myself scream as I slay the last cultist.
I hear him breathe out, "I regret nothing," before falling limp to the ground. I stopped feeling sorry for the cultists long ago. If you keep running into my sickle, don't be surprised when you eventually bleed out.
I loot what I want from the gazebo and keep walking. I drink a bottle of vodka as I trudge. I don't want to think about the blood. I just want to explore, and scavenge, and rebuild the outside word and give my parents one last gala.
Something glowing catches my left eye, a purple light shining off some old train cars. Like a moth to a bug zapper, I move closer to the light. There’s drones and stuff flying overhead, but what’s right in front if me is much more interesting.
In front of me is a pack of mongrels, glowing with an otherworldly purple light. In the center of the pack is a creature I have only ever heard of in fiction and in the ravings of so-called madmen. We’re far from Flatwoods, but I don’t think this alien monster in front of me cares. I hit it once before it teleports, leaving me to dispatch its dogs.
I make quick work of the mongrels before I notice that Flatwoods Monster come back. And I won’t let it get away this time.
It attacks me, but only briefly. I wail on it with my sickle before getting frustrated and pulling out my laser pistol to do the job quickly. I show it no mercy. Whatever cut open my face made that choice for me years ago. This is another one of those creatures. I will kill it.
The Flatwoods Monster falls, still glowing purple. I take what I want from the corpse and make my way back down the mountain. I can barely close my backpack, which is my queue to head back to C.A.M.P.
I make it back, weary from the hiking and the fighting.
“Glad to hear you made it back, friend!” I hear Punk say from upstairs.
I join him on the second floor to drop off all the extra junk I found. I hear the sound of his headphones being dropped.
“What happened to you out there, Harvey?”
“Calm down.” I roll my eyes as I take off the gas mask. “It’s just a little blood.”
He wipes his fingers down the sleeve of my leather jacket. “Why is the blood purple?”
“Killed a Flatwoods Monster,” I reply nonchalantly.
“You did what?!”
“Killed a Flatwoods Monster.”
“Oh, man. The network is gonna be so fucking hyped to hear that! What was it mind controlling?”
“Mind controlling?”
“Yeah, yeah,” he reiterates. “I’ve heard rumors that Flatwoods Monsters can read and control minds.”
Read minds…? Did it read my mind? I was thinking about that night ten years ago. Did it see that?
“Uhh… a pack of mongrels,” I answer.
“Kinda lame, but whatever. It’s dead now.”
“Mhmm,” I nod before we return to our solitary activities.
Eventually, I drift off to sleep downstairs, my dreams now flooded with purple light amidst the tattered cloaks. I regret nothing.

the way the lfc squad joke with each other, i saw no problem with how szobo would joke. same thing happend with harvey, he would make jokes and come off as confident and twitter blasted him “ego of ronaldo, ability of some random 3rd league footballer. same thing with curtis jones. with the way the lfc squad tease each other, i’m surprised fans are taking szobo’s jokes seriously. robbo made the “finally have a good dutch player joke” curtis once bantered that “as ronaldo once said, maybe they hate him because he’s too good” so on and so forth.
i genuinely think people are taking szobo to serious and this ALWAYS happens with our young players especially if they have ONE BAD GAME.
happened to trent, elliot, jones, nunez and now it’s happening to szobo. no ones hates on lfc players like lfc fans and it’s getting tired i fear.
Me neither, and reading different posts and opinions about this whole ordeal is now really making me question if I'm an asshole or not😭😭
Like I understand that some people find him "too much" and don't like the way he brought up the whole bench thing, that was very poor in my opinion as well. But now I'm seeing people say that he made "dark jokes" to Endo, which is in my opinion is just doing waaaaay too much! Like if I wouldn't know the context, just would see that he made "dark jokes" to Endo I would think he was being racist or cursing him out or wishing his downfall or something not jokingly saying in a Santa video that Endo only chose Virg's gift "because he wants to play more". Obviously, we don't know neither him nor Endo, but i very much doubt the social media team would leave in a clip like that if it was offensive or bothered Endo. ( And by the way that's totally something I would say as well to co-workers, let alone friends 😭😭 I fact, I have probably already said something like that before, so maybe I'm defending myself here as well lol).
Oh yeah, so smart of you to mention Harvey and Curtis as well! Ridiculous how much shit the both of them got in the last years, especially Harvey who was so young at that time! And don't even get started on Darwin, I still remember how our own fans were so horrible to him he had to limit his comment sections.. which is still limited, to this day. Judging by the once again slander he is getting since yesterday, it's probably for the better 😓
I'm probably way too invested in this right now, but I really don't understand the caliber of reactions I'm seeing since yesterday 🧐

My Progress week 13
This has been a fun week for me as I have decided to carry on with this business once this course is completed. I have decided to get an Etsy store and sell my products via the online route as I'm still feeling selling to coworkers, friends and family etc. is still causing me anxiety as I feel I cant sell my products as I find myself selling for less. OR never being quite happy with the end result and giving it away for free, which is going totally against the business code. LOL. What is working? I'm getting quicker at making these products and feel more confident with the end result. I have added a different type of keyring style this week and have had a few orders already. I have also started to think of stocking stuffers etc. for the Christmas season for my business. What is not working? I'm still not being confident enough to get my product sold. I wish I had the ability to sell but unfortunately I have come to the conclusion selling will never be my thing. But I am working on it!! How do you think the project is coming? I feel more and more confident each time I sell a keyring and the buyers seem to like the end result. However I hate giving the product to the person as I hate to see the look on their face incase they don't like what I have made for them. I have never had any negativity from what I have made, I think its just the way I fell as I always feel I could have done better, this is something I have problems with in everything I do. What are you learning from running a business? I'm still learning loads. I have been watching a few YouTube videos on setting up a business and have learnt from them. How to save money, where to save money, where to buy larger amounts of products etc. What are you learning abut yourself. I am learning that I am to critical of myself and need to accept I am good enough to run a business and not to give up. That's why I have decided to continue after this course is complete that way I can prove to myself that I am doing this for real and not just to complete a course.
Here's to the last week of this course!!!

✧ Aspect Series ✧
Hey everyone! It's been a minute, but I'm back with my aspect series!!!
This was inspired by seeing people say that not all the aspects in our chart manifest the same in our lives and might not even be as prevalent as others. So how I'm doing this is I'm gonna take a look at one of the aspects in my chart on an individual, albeit superficial, level and we'll see if I relate to it or not in any way. I won't be taking into account the signs or houses when looking into it I just want this to be more general. Hopefully that makes sense! Please remember I’m not a professional astrologer I’m just trying to learn more about astrology. Alright let’s do this!
Sun trine Ascendant:
confident
independent
great self expression
authentic and clear personality
charming and magnetic
easy energy flow (potentially lazy)
restless
authoritative
well liked
Okay so this aspect spoke a lot about just generally being a confident and authentic person who is energetic and optimistic. This aspect in my opinion is the epitome of easy energy flow and it is also one of my strong aspects. I definitely relate to this aspect a lot in both the good and the bad ways because just like all aspects this one too has its downfalls.
There is such a thing as too much of a good thing and I feel that is really present in this aspect. All this easy energy flow makes it so that people with this aspect might take things in life for granted and I feel this a lot! I am easily able to express myself to people without letting them get too close or know too much about me. People who know me tend to think I am an open book which is true to an extent, there's a lot about me that many people don't know and I purposely keep it like that, but I think they think this because I am pretty extroverted, energetic, and social. I love meeting new people and getting to know them. Ever since I was young I would always be the one to approach people and start the conversation because I genuinely just liked making friends and talking to people. I've never had much trouble with making friends whether it be forming lasting friendships or just becoming "class friends" with the people who would sit near me in university which was something I was always extremely grateful for.
However with the good does come the bad and I definitely resonate with the restlessness part of this aspect. I constantly jump from hobby to hobby and I get bored with things if I find they are too easy for me. I quit so many extra curricular activities growing up because I would get bored extremely quickly. I constantly wanted (and still do) to find something to challenge me. Sadly, this sometimes applies to people as well. Whenever someone begins to show interest in me quite quickly I tend to get a bit put off and I don't really know why. It is definitely one of my worst qualities because it makes me feel like a bad person. This aspect has the ability to make someone extremely lazy and take things for granted and might manifest as someone who just coasts through life.
This aspect also indicates that those with it could have great authoritative skills and are pretty independent. In regards to being authoritative I usually would only be so when it came to schoolwork. In classes where I was required to work in groups I would initially never take charge, but would only do so when I would get aggravated with my group for not putting in effort and just doing the bare minimum. I've also been pretty independent since I was a kid. There's actual video evidence of me getting mad at my parents when they would try to help me when I was younger (lol I was such a brat) and to this day I like to figure things out and do things on my own. People with this aspect also tend to be performers whether in a creative outlet or just in ordinary life. Two words for you: Theater. Kid. Yup that was me. I was in musicals and plays growing up, I also worked on stage crews and was in the drama club in high school. My family also says I am the most dramatic in our entire family because of the way I naturally speak, how I tell stories and react to things.
Lastly this aspect talked about people being well-liked, popular and charming/magnetic. Now I don't really feel like I can answer this because no one has ever told me that they don't like me or that I'm unlikeable to my face. I'm pretty sure there are tons of people that don't like me cuz that's just how life works. I also wasn't necessarily popular growing up I had my friends and I was just friendly with everyone else in my classes and they would be friendly back.
Anyways that's it for this one! I definitely related to this one in both the positive and negative parts of it. If any of you have this aspect as well please let me know if you relate to it in anyway or not!
