oooo is td gonna have an IDW situation where it's like Leo's dark Leo split personality by the aftermath? Maye that;d be cool
I'm not going to do that.
I know you have good intentions, but as the host of an OSDD system, I want to tell you that this isn't right.
I have a lot of feelings about IDW's whole Dark Leo situation after the events of City Fall story arc. Though, even regardless of those feelings, there are very few situations where giving a character an evil alter sits right with me (which is to say, I've seen good hypothetical story ideas from other systems, but never one from a notable published work).
In the way you're suggesting, this is not one that sits right.
This is a tired, harmful trope that I do not wish to include in my work.
I am not saying you are a bad person who meant to inflict harm. I simply wish to inform you as someone who has been harmed by the various misconceptions relating to those like us.

Z THE CONCEPT OF YOU REBOOTING VALIANT KNIGHT LITERALLY HAS ME FROTHING AT THE MOUTH. it literally never left my head i am always thinking about it at least a little bit. literally recently i came up with a concept for how some of my original characters for my spinoff would fit into valiant knight fnsnskdj and so i technically have like a rewrite/sequel concept that includes zenry and jasper/[redacted] fnsmdnkxnsn which included me rereading the chapters i beta'd for you to remember some details and i was like UGH THIS WAS SO GOOD I MISS IT
LASKDJOSKJVMODKMVLDSKJFSOKJFSLDKFJ HELLO?????????? ARE YOU AWARE THAT I'D LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU???? CAUSE I SERIOUSLY WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU!!!!! BUT AHHHHHHHHHHH
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENTS I'VE EVER RECEIVED, I'M LEGIT GONNA CRY (affectionate), I'VE BEEN STARING AT THIS ASK FOR LIKE SIX HOURS, LIKE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ARTICULATE HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME
but seriously, like I'm not trying to rag on my writing or anything, but I also know like. I'm not writing anything that's gonna be winning awards anytime soon or anything ground-breaking or anything, but that's never been my goal; and I just say all of that to say that the fact that you're still thinking about something of mine years later and it stuck with you so much that you want to put your own characters into it??????? That's literally so wild to me in the best way, I can't get over it. I'm so serious when I say again that this legit one of the best compliments I've ever received. (Also, if you're willing, I'd very much like to hear about this rewrite/sequel of sorts)
You have me legit thinking about it now. Like I told Pearl in the replies, I feel like my writing is leagues better (i reread stuff from that time period and just cringe now; but to be fair to my past self, she was a novice who was coming back to writing after a 10+ year break so it stands to reason) so I feel like I could do a lot more with it. There's soooo much of that world I want to flesh out that I wasn't skilled enough to do when I first started it. lsakdjf idk man, I might actually do it

do you have any bug game stories that are more romantic than platonic? (not sexual ofc) safe noms with lovey-dovey nonsense is peak fiction for me
hmmmmge, in terms of ones I've already written, I've got like 2 or 3:
Where Ash Drifts Like Snow - C/rimson N/ails (so M/arkoth/X/ero), pre-relationship, they're both crushing hard, definitely fluff
Tender Moments - Q/uirrell/emm (or L/emmq/uirrel, whichever we call it), the definition of lovey-dovey nonsense, there's hardly any plot to it it's just 2.6k words of fluff
Bug Bites 3 - Chipped, the first ficlet there, has some fluffy Q/uirrell/emm again, and the one after that, Stealth Nap, has that pairing + T/iso, but any romance is maybe just sorta implied? A little?
Oh and there's This 2-part Thing - Not bug game, but notable in that the couple there is technically a romantic pairing, lot of angst with a touch of hurt/comfort at the end. if it helps I was picturing it with X/ero as the pred and M/arkoth as the prey while writing it lmao
aaaaaand because of my usual bs, here's a couple tidbits of stuff I have in the idea doc and outlines of unwritten fics that happen to involve romance below the cut (so many pheckin images)
gonna start off with the complete outlines, for which I have three that basically set up Quirreloro and that's about it for romance:
Interlude. not vore, but vore gets referenced at the end.
Storytime. Oro is enlisted to share an anecdote from his and Quirrel's shared history. Can't remember if it's pre-relationship or established.
Research Project. Let's just say you're bound to figure out where you stand with someone when you're that close for that long ;)
next up, future Bug Bites:
Tisoquirrel fluff (and Ghost is also there). Shenanigans ensue.
Crimson Nails. Those two are still crushing super hard on each other but may or may not get slightly less useless about it.
Tisoquirreloro. Or Tisoquirrel at least, Oro isn't too involved yet. More shenanigans ensue.
...Ogrisma? I don't know how people tend to write out the ship name but yeh. Fluffy fluff. Finally, a semi-functional couple
Crimson Nails again. They may or may not be aware of how useless they are and may or may not work towards fixing that.
Clothmyla. Seriously I don't know what the ship names are for a lot of these. Anyway, uhhh. Attempt at lessbeans. Gotta start somewhere!
Aaaaand finally, an Assortment of Other Ideas. hh.
Crimson Nails, Xero moves into with his boyfriend. Hurt/comfort.
Cold Night 2, electric boogaloo, and this time it's Tisoquirreloro. Many much cuddols.
Oh wait I guess that's about it for the romance fic ideas without going into things that are more plot than noms/fluff. and I've already gotten way ahead of myself anyway, so. e ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ enjoy the patches of content ! probably gonna ramble in the tags again

Part 6 of my poll adventure fic. Links: the beginning, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5.
It's mid-day Wednesday (at least for my time), which means a new part of my poll adventure fic, because I've been here for over a year and still don't know how to use this site effectively. :D (Oh wait, here, I made a poll about tumblr timing.)
---
Valerie walked toward Vlad through the rubble, hugging a hissing and clawing Maddie against her armor. "Found him," she said proudly, smiling up at Vlad. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Actually, there is. There's a malevolent ghost loose in Amity Park, posing a serious risk to my health, as well as to the city. I need him contained and brought to me."
Oh, cheese sticks with marinara dipping sauce! He had meant to do the responsible thing here—not ask a fourteen-year-old child who couldn't even hold a cat properly to risk her life in his stead.
...He really had become too accustomed to avoiding anything unpleasant.
"Sure thing, Mayor Masters!"
Maddie squirmed out of Valerie's hold with an angry yowl and ran off.
Well, he could still work with Valerie. ...If he truly wanted to. He was unlikely to succeed on his own, anyhow, if this older version of Daniel actually was as powerful as he'd heard.
But did he truly want to be a part of this endeavor? He was already dreading it, with only the thought.
He recalled what the older Daniel had said—that he let his emotions hold too much sway, and that in turn caused his plans to fail.
Which had been exactly the case when he'd felt some level of compassion for that ghost.
Thinking purely objectively, Vlad could still use the ghost if he could get him back under his control. And if Vlad were to have some part in the ghost's capture—in saving Amity Park—it would boost his ratings. He did need to keep his position as mayor of Amity Park for his contingency plans.
"Valerie, dear. Why don't we work together? I'm sure it's just misplaced guilt, but I can't help but feel somehow responsible for this situation. Ridiculous, I know. However, working with you on his capture would ease my poor conscience."
"Oh... uh, you've never suggested this before," Valerie said uncertainly, shifting her weight from one foot to the other, as though she was trying to think of some way that poor old 'Mayor Masters' could work with her. "But if that's what you want."
'Cheerleader' isn't, ah, a literal cheerleader. (Don't make me dress him up in a skirt.) It just means... like, advertising and cheering her on. More of a cheer-leader (...which is probably an even more literal meaning actually).

"Alert me when there's an update" list:
@charlietheepic7, @chrysanthemum9484, @mymadmedleyw, @dp-marvel94, @aikoiya, @whydouwantmyname, @cinturon-cadena, @freakofyournature, @satanicrutialspecialist, @danphantom80
(if you want on the list, specifically ask to be alerted for updates in a tag or comment. Ask again if I forget! If I can't tag you, I'll send a Message.)

I think instead of blocking ccs even though I absolutely could I'll just stick it in my pinned that I don't like my blog scrolled through because Tumblr automatically throws you to the top of a blog now anyway

i somehow forgot that all knitting photos posted on here get abundantly reblogged by randos and now people are in my replies condescendingly explaining that picot bind offs aren’t too hard actually
they only mean well by this and i hope they never see me complaining about them and if they do they shouldn't internalize anything about it. but it really irritates me anyway

Not one of my best friends making incredibly shit life choices, asking for my advice, and then completely disregarding what I say.
Oh, and these aren't about small things either - these are BIG. Like, we're talking life altering decision's, ones that you can't necessarily come back from.
I think she still expects that I'm going to support her in what she's doing, when in truth, I am not. At the risk of sounding heartless, we've been down this road before not too long ago unfortunately, and I just can't do it again. My mental health barely survived the last time, and I gave up a year of my life (and all of my hobbies, writing included) to help her with what she was going through the best I could, and I cannot do it again.
Am I angry? Of course I am, I won't deny it. The fact that she's willing put herself into a very similar predicament to the one that we went though together, again, pisses me off to no end, and I've been in a pretty horrendous mood for the last 3 days beacuse of it. I am more angry at the fact that I know she can do better, be better, but just isn't doing it. I want the best for her, honestly at my core, I do, but it seems like we have two completely different versions of what that is.
Regardless though, I will not be any part of what she's doing. If I am to keep any semblance of my sanity, I just can't, and it kinda breaks my heart.
Now the hardest part: breaking it to her in a way that I won't loose her as a friend, but make where I stand on the matter incredibly clear. I am not looking forward to this conversation, they never go the way I want them to.
I'm just so tired of trying to help with messes that I know aren't mine, but keep getting brought into.
Sorry for the rant.

Selfshippers need to kinda be careful using the term soulbonding because it's a term that has roots in the plurality/multiplicity spaces.
https://multiplicity.fandom.com/wiki/Soulbond_System
Just wanted to warn you because you're a lovely mutual and I don't want you stumbling into syscourse accidentally!
Thank you for the resource! I appreciate you looking out for me.
If I'm being honest, I agree that it could be dangerous for people to use the term lightly. It's why I've been holding back from using it myself, and I wanted to do more research before I decided to say anything about it at all. I don't feel comfortable sharing what leads me to believe that I can identify with that term or any of the culture around it yet, but I feel safe in saying that it's one that makes sense for me.
The link you sent me is actually one that I've read through before, and I encourage anyone else to read through it as well. @jamesfiance also made a post with a few resources that I thought were helpful.
I have to say that I personally can't tell anyone what their experience is, or what counts as "real soulbonding," but I ask that if anyone suspects they might be experiencing it, or if they see the term and think that it sounds cool, please do your research. It is a serious experience and a lifestyle that many people live every day with. It's like a belief system.
The plurality aspect of it is hard for me to touch on without being too personal, but I don't really find myself interacting in those communities much. I have mutuals who are plural, and if they have opinions, I'd be happy to hear about them.
I'm not the best at articulating these kinds of things, which is why I'm not someone who comments on things like this often, so I want to make it clear that I'm not claiming to be an authority on any of these things, and I can only speak for my experiences and how I believe they fit into this term and the culture around it as I've researched it. That being said, I want to reiterate that selfshippers should do their research before identifying with it. Because the experience is more than having a deep connection with an f/o, but it's hard for me to explain in a cogent and concise way.
