Hi Jodee! do you consider to use glaze or nightshade? (what's your opinion about ai "art"?)
Hi Nonny!
Thanks for the ask, sorry I am just getting to it now! To answer your question about Glaze, Nightshade and AI as it pertains to art, I support the poisoning! At the rate this technology is advancing, there needs to be a quick footed defence against the greedy reach of corporations that feel entitled to just help themselves. I am not really looking forward to the glut of mediocre ‘content’ sludge that’s inevitably going to be sold back to us either. It was already getting kind of unbearable in volume before the great churning began.
Ethics and morality aside, from a purely creative standpoint as an artist, it couldn’t appeal to me less. I can see how it might speed up the process and help with idea generation, which makes sense in a commercial environment where everything needs to be delivered yesterday but that’s not why I make art. It’s an expression of self and it’s deeply personal, connected and rooted in me. I love the process; I love learning and the feeling when I see or feel slight improvement.  The sense of accomplishment when I solve a problem. The meditative state it puts me in. Why on earth would anyone sacrifice that part of the process? Reward without effort seems deeply unfulfilling and down right depressing to me not to mention the atrophy of a skill set I have poured so much time into. There is a deep value in learning a skill, it goes way beyond the final piece or the money that can be made from it. Thanks again for the ask <3!

Why did u make kids out of your self ship.. no way you're that attracted to a fictional CHILD
Oh yay guys look I finally got one of these! :D
It's funny because you're bitching at me in my inbox while anonymous so you clearly just wanna complain about shit. I'm gonna give my whole take on this so it can be used as an example for later if anyone else decides to come at me about anything similar, so thank you Nonnie for being said example. :)
Buckle up because I have a lot to rant about.
On Fictional Self-Shipping:
Fun fact, did you know our subconscious brains can't differentiate between if someone we're attracted to is real or fake? Even if you logically know a character isn't real, you can still gain feelings for them because your subconscious brain doesn't differentiate the two. Kirishima has qualities that I personally find attractive, so of course I am attracted to him. That's how our brains work. People make self inserts or OCs and ship themselves or their OCs with fictional characters all the time for different reasons. They could be doing it for comfort reasons, creative reasons, lore reasons, etc. If you're that pressed about it then the internet must be doing you dirty honestly 💀 Like people are way more open about this shit now and do it so much and you're still complaining.
For example, take a look at EVERY SINGLE SPIDERSONA. Literally EVERYONE made a spidersona when ATSV came out. I dare you to through the spidersona tag on any social media and take a shot every time someone's spidersona is shipped with/has lore involving/is related in some way to, Miguel O'Hara. Spoiler, it's a lot. 💀 Honestly just let people have fun.
Also, not that it matters, but I first thought up Hina, Haru and Hiro when I was 15. Y'know... a year younger than Kirishima is in canon... so like idk what to tell you bro, I've been a Kiri simp and self-shipper since I was like 13— 💀🤷‍♀️
On Self-Shipping With Fictional Minors:
See I've said it before but people who get pissy about shit like this clearly don't logically understand the difference between fiction and reality.
Would I ever find a minor attractive IRL? No. Absolutely not because they are REAL people and that's ACTUALLY morally wrong. But a fictional character? Who doesn't even really look like a teenager nor act or sound like one? Yes, absolutely. Because, surprise! It doesn't actually matter as much as you think it does.
Also the fact that people like this are so deadset on infantilizing these characters and treating them as if they're children who don't know any better when they're not. Like the people who get on other people for simping for Yuji Itadori. Megumi, Maki, Inumaki, highschool Gojo, and highscool Geto are all under 18 yet it's ok to be attracted to them and not Yuji??? Yuji literally has pinup posters in his bedroom and constantly talks about how he likes girls with big asses. Yet just because he's sweet, goofy and dumb, people treat him as if he's some innocent little kid who doesn't know what sex is and hasn't literally tried and succeeded in beating people to death before.
This anon didn't specifically say this but I'm gonna talk about it anyway. The people who bitch and moan about people finding fictional teenagers attractive and then choose to label that shit as PEDOPHILIA of all things, really piss me off the most honestly. Like that is the biggest stretch I think I've ever heard in my life.
The word "pedophile" is thrown around way too much in today's day and age (sometimes for good reason, don't get me wrong) and some people just honestly don't understand what it means. Pedophilia is a mental disorder that people need psychological help with. It's characterized by adults finding people under 18 (usually actual children, meaning people under 13) sexually attractive BECAUSE of the fact that they're under 18. They dont give a shit about anything like personality, not that it would make it better. Real people have been affected by this and real people have given into their urges instead of getting help which results in real minors being preyed upon and hurt by those individuals. But you're sitting here bitching about me minding my own business and liking a fictional character because he's rowdy and dumb and sweet?? AND after I've aged him up multiple times?????? Be so fuckin fr honestly.
And like I've said before, if we're gonna bring real morals into this then no one should be attracted to characters like Dabi, Toga, Endeavor, Sukuna, Toji, Geto, etc. No matter if they have reasons, they're all awful people who've done awful shit yet that doesn't stop people from being attracted to them. You know why? Because they separate fiction from reality and recognize that their fictional crimes don't mean shit IRL.
It's important to remember that characters exist in the realm of fiction. They're tools used to tell a story and can be shaped however fans of, whatever media they're from, want. They aren't real people. They have no personhood or humanity to be deprived of. They have no real values, no real morals. They don't have real emotions or rights in reality. They all exist in the realm of the hypothetical. They're lines on paper. They aren't real. And the second you start treating them as if they are, and applying real morals onto them, is the second you lose touch with that fact.
On Aging Up Fictional Characters:
This probably isn't only for fanfiction but I only ever see people complaining like this about people who write fanfics and never about professional authors. Take Stephen King for example. He's a well-known, well-renowned author who writes very good horror books. The amount of straight up VILE shit he writes about kids in his books is insane.
Fun fact, did you know that in the IT book, there's a sex scene between the Losers where Beverly "gives herself" to each of the boys so they'll all be connected closer as friends and "lose their innocence" to be able to find a way out of the sewers? No, not when they're adults. When they're kids. Fiction isn't always pretty and it isn't always wholesome or nice, just like real life. But people sit and complain about a fanfic author literally aging UP a character??? It's giving double standards. 😬
Whatever fiction people choose to create or consume, does not automatically tell you anything about what their actual morals are as a person. That'd be like automatically calling every sea creature a fish because fish live in the sea. It's just stupid. I'm not saying people who create weird shit can't be weird themselves, but I am saying that it's not an automatic view into what someone deems as morally ok or not ok.
In Conclusion:
If your only joy in life is to go to someone's blog, who you don't know, and start complaining and bitching at them about shit that they make and that you don't like, then I feel sorry for you honestly because you clearly didn't get much attention growing up. People like this honestly don't understand how genuinely easy it is to just not look at something they don't like. It's really so simple. Here I'll even give you a few guides! :D
Step 1. Go into your Settings.
Step 2. Go into your "General Settings" under "Account Settings".
Step 3. Scroll until you see the "Content You See" or "Filtering" option and click it.
Step 4. Go through and filter out all the tags that you don't wanna see. This way you won't see any posts with said tags.
Or..
Step 1. Go to my blog.
Step 2. Go up to the upper right hand corner of the screen and click on the little icon that looks like a person.
Step 3. Click "Block @/thenamesmiz".
There you go! Hope that helped! :)
I get if you don't share my opinion but if you don't agree with something or don't like something that I do THEN DON'T INTERACT WITH IT. It saves both of us the energy of you coming up to me and complaining about it because, believe it or not, it is actually so incredibly simple to just ignore something.
Anyway, I'm gonna go keep working on my SK8 self insert that's shipped with Reki Kyan. Hope you have the day you deserve. :)

fic requests closed (for now)
First and most important: THANK YOU!!!! For sharing your wonderful, amazing, joy-inducing creativity. Thank you for filling my inbox with wonderful fic requests over the past months!!!!!
What? I've delayed this for as long as I could (and longer b/c I don't want to, but my mental health requires it), but today, I have to temporarily close requests for full-length fics*.
**If you send something, your response will be casual or a hc**
Still send me THOTS, recommendations, hc requests, and just how it's going in general for you (I actually do, truly really care about how you're doing!) *Moots and friends can still make requests of any kind! I like to fuck around and find out w/ you!
Why? I have too many ideas. I'd like time to write them. I'm like 'Hoarders' the TV show for wips fr.
But...
here's a full-disclosure list of the requests/ thots that I'm still working on responses for. As short answers, hc's, drabbles, and a couple of longer fics (in no particular order)! Most of these are at least started:
A take on @my-secret-shame-but-fanfiction's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Ignore Me w/ Marc… but w/ Nathan (which, spoiler alert, I'm going to bother them about for thots too. I'm crawling up in your inbox, Fen!)
dad!Santiago vs reader's ex-bf Leto (this is finished, but not edited)
how did dad!Santi and reader meet (from santi's.... exaggerated perspective, fucking hilarious idea)
@jayfall93 what a comforting, relatable request! I am trying to think hard about this one b/c like I said, I relate to this and you're right, they would understand! 😭
Birdie thinks she's fat
Anselm at Venice Carnival
Edging Anselm in front of other people
Anselm and Birdie meeting other ppl (w/ Leto for beard comparison, and Jack just to see how Anselm reacts to being called 'brother,' which is an idea that made me literally lol)
Anselm and a paramedic SO (nonny, the parallels and comparisons you sent are brilliant)
Cuddling w/ Nathan while he works (come to me, please, soft Nathan!)
Diff Oscar characters reacting to a clumsy Reader (I'm also NOTORIOUSLY clumsy. Broken dishes, mysterious bruises, easily startled. So this hits very close to home 😂)
And if you're still with me. Here's a little smtg for you to enjoy:
Tumblr media
And here's a piece of news I'm going to bury down here.
I'm doing something I never thought I would, but to make it easier for you lovely people to wade through my constant shitposting.... I'm going to be doing a taglist. No pressure to join!!!!
I'll make a big ole' post about it, and a link in the masterlist. Hopefully set up this week!
I LOVE YOU! -Rally 💛

Heey I really like your Stolitz and Helluva Boss Takes! They are very insightful and interesting to read. Your circus theory is adorable :)
I’m wondering, why do you think this fandom in particular is… so rabidly against media literacy. I too am an old trooper from the Destiel days and I remember the days when internet fans would beg for more complex characters that have grey morality. Also when people would BEG for gay representation like this. I’m so confused man. The “vivziepop critical” hashtag just makes me depressed. So many people seem obsessed to criticize this show and I don’t get it. I haven’t seen this much hate since Twilight. Also did the mistake of checking twitter… Also, why do people act like one person did everything when animation is a highly collaborative medium and there are 100+ creator names at the end of each episode? I’m so confused because I’ve enjoyed the show so much and went online to find fanart and fanfics and found… insane levels of hate and projection?? Why does everyone and their dog want to cancel this woman for making an animated TV show with millenial style sensibilities? Why are they saying the writing is horrible and atrocious when I personally think it’s better than Family Guy, Big Mouth, American Dad and many other adult animation show’s writings? I’m so curious because I’m from Eastern Europe and it feels like something particular about american culture doesn’t click to me in all of this…
Thank you so much Nonnie! If nothing else I might illustrate Blitzo’s little circus with everyone in their roles. I’m working on a Stolitz piece I am VERY excited about but maybe after that.
As far as your question. Whooboy is that a question I have both given a lot of thought to and found no real satisfactory answers, but I have some ideas.
I think it’s a mix of things and I think a huge part of it is the medium and the accessibility of the creators combined with the show reaching a huge internet audience other fandoms don’t really normally touch.
The audience numbers for both of the Spindlehorse/Vivziepop properties are ENORMOUS. On the main channel alone an episode will reach 20+ million views. This doesn’t include other channels that take the same episodes and put them on their channels and reach several million as well. The Nielsen numbers average around the 18-20 per episode but Nielsen ratings are a flawed metric especially with internet based media. We’ve seen some of the Amazon numbers as well and they are insane.
We also live in a time where people are under an extreme amount of scrutiny all hours of the day, the likes of which we really don’t have a comparison for in human history and we have a independent creator who was largely available to that fandom for a long period of time. A lot of media properties are corporate, are sanitized and managed by large PR firms. I think VivziePop said some things before she had fully grown and developed as a person that people latched onto as a core belief system, something the internet is really good at. There also isn’t a lot of grace given to people who change their views after taking in other viewpoints and information. If you say something it will live on in infamy and I think some of the hate stems from that.
I went into it a little in this post here that I just don’t think people are aware of the creative process that goes into making such a thing. An indie creator has to be way more transparent than a corporate entity to get the funding they need and that transparency builds expectations with people who can’t grasp that plots and characters change as the story actually develops. They are very used to prepackaged, sanitized and complete productions and this messy and chaotic realtime creative process is very foreign to them.
Critical thinking skills are also a precious resource in humanity in general, and when you’re dealing with a fandom this large you have more people who lack those skills than normal. These two shows do not spoon feed their audience, a lot of things are in the details and hidden under character complexities and I genuinely believe that they aren’t used to not being told flat out “this is what is happening. This is how the characters feel about it.” By the media they consume. We’re also dealing with two different shows with similar visual elements and comparisons are made between the two while ignoring the actual shows themselves. A great example is the chains in Hazbin for Angel and Husk being compared to the chain in the drug hallucinations in D.H.O.R.K.S. They are not remotely the same, or for the same reason but because they are visually similar, being from the same team people really thought they were on to something while ignoring the actual content and dialogue of the scene itself. Meme culture used for wrong imo.
Having characters that do “problematic” things, say “problematic” things and behave in realistic and nuanced ways is hard for people to separate from the creators or the fans. Any whiff of perceived “toxicity” is jumped on like rabid dogs. They believe it’s a reflection of what the creator and fans actually WANT in real life. It’s purity culture run amuck and it’s a HUGE issue. Like actual fascism in action and it’s extremely concerning to me but what can I do but continue to engage critically with what I like and provide analysis while enjoying it?
There is also this sense of competition in fandoms. My ship is less problematic than yours. My blorbo is a better person. Etc. It’s the silliest shit.
There is also a huge wait time between episodes. In a binge watching culture, or a serialized tv culture where seasons are completed and then released all at once or on a regular schedule with maybe a week or two between it is hard for the audience to retain what they saw previously and connect it. They also build up expectations and have months to sit with them only to be disappointed when it doesn’t play out how they wanted. The Sherlock fandom was notorious for this. The years long gap between seasons let things fester and rot and now we have a show like HB that will go months between episodes and take years to tell a story.
Being completely honest almost all the criticism I’ve seen is not rooted in actual problems with the show but people saying “if they had done X and X and X it would have be a better show” but because the show didn’t deliver what they specifically wanted it’s “not good”. Or they don’t realize it is delivering that, just at a very slow pace.
I think it can best be summed up by a lot of the internet are what me and my partner call “baby brained”. I don’t mean to be dismissive of real criticisms but I haven’t seen any that hold water yet that aren’t rooted in the things I’ve mentioned above. If I’m presented some I’ll engage with them logically and will use the text to determine their validity.
I have more thoughts on this but this is already pretty long so I’ll save it for specific posts on this subject. But like I always say, just block them and do things that make you happy with the things you love. You don’t owe them your time or your attention and the creators don’t owe them anything either.

I'm absolutely obsessed with your latest story. This was exactly how I imagine those two would interact.
I don't get the notion why people insist Nancy would be a good teacher and tutor the others. I mean she is smart, but also too literal. She follows things to a tee and if you question anything she says she would blame it on you not getting it. She's not someone who thinks too much out of the box, which is required for being a good teacher. And with Eddie struggling so hard to graduate, she would make things worse lol. Both wouldn't get the other, which would lead to a huge fight.
And I don't mean that to hate on Nancy, in fact I might be heavily projecting here because I'm kinda the same. I was above average in school but I could never teach anyone anything because I had only one way and if people didn't get it I couldn't really help. Tho I wouldn't make passive aggressive comments like Nancy I would apologize all the time for not being more helpful lmao (bc I'm a people pleaser lol)
But yes also if you think Nancy would like Eddie after witnessing his probably daily speeches in the cafeteria that we live in a society? Girl would run out before Eddie set his first foot on the table. (Also again heavily projecting here because I would run out because Eddie would be too much to handle for me. Robin I could handle because she is like my best friend but Eddie? He would drive me insane lmao) Those two are polar opposites and I love reading about the tensions. <333
thank you so much for the ask nonnie! and thank you for reading and liking my lil ficlet 🥺🥺🥺 every time someone says thats exactly how they picture eddie and nancy I get a little bit stronger
I feel like a lot of people automatically assume that smart= good teacher, when you're right, that couldn't be further from the truth. You need to be adaptable, have creative thinking, you need to admit that you can't be right all the time in order to be a teacher. And Nancy does not have that. You're 100% right that Nancy is a steamroller, she is on train tracks. If you don't follow her way (the right way, according to her) then you're wrong. You're not getting it. You're just not trying, because there's no way that she's admitting that she can be wrong.
That's not automatically a bad thing! Thank you for sharing! I totally understand you're not trying to hate on Nancy. Neither am I. You can like a character, can think they're interesting, and point out their flaws at the same time. She's a teenager! She's very particular! She likes things in order! And that's not bad! It's what you do with it, and how you let it affect your life - that's where the issues arise.
And oh my god the cafeteria speeches. She'd hate him. She'd think he's annoying and unhygienic, standing on tables like he does. Putting his shoes where people eat? Ew. She'd sit there silently judging and hoping for him to shut up and sit down. She'd hope he graduates already so he can get out of her hair. (Then of course they get lumped together with the Upside Down).
When Eddie was deep in his high school hierarchy bullshit - he'd think Nancy was a suck up conformist for getting good grades and going after the most popular guy in school. But in S4 he changes! He realises that he's been making assumptions based on nothing! He gets along with Steve! And idk I don't see Nancy changing that much. At least, not with the way canon has her at the moment. Because she doesn't lol. Yeah, she has guns now, but she's still a steamroller of a woman who can't see any other way than hers.
Idk they're very different people! They're complicated! And I think the upside down would make them end up as friendly acquaintances, but that's it

Hi Alexis! I was wondering if you could share some tips for when you're feeling burnt out or just not interested in the sims? I'm in a burnout era rn and it's like I want to PLAY and TELL MY STORIES but I just feel the task of editing and writing to be so daunting right now :(
Hello there, dearest Nonny! 💕
Thank you so much for asking this because I absolutely think it’s something all of us simmers struggle with from time to time. I know I’ve gone through a few burnout eras both big and small and can definitely feel myself entering another one as we speak, so I’m more than happy to help!
Now a bit of a caveat: these are my tips and tricks. I know everyone is different and some of these may not work for everyone. So if anyone wants to leave their own tips in the comments below please do, I would love to read them!
I’m going to put the whole rant under the cut because who could have guessed it…it’s going to be long! 😅
1. Have A Plan:
This is absolutely going to be my most divisive bit of advice, because I’ve talked to other simmers who have told me that this alone would cause burnout for them, but for me it’s probably the no. 1 thing that keeps me posting. I have a detailed calendar of my post schedule, usually about 2-3 months in advance, that helps me stay on track and keep focused. Sometimes I will move things around a day or two or even push it back a full week when I need to, but overall I stick to it.
This is definitely because I am a planner, but if I have a difficult shoot or don’t want to edit, I can easily look at the calendar and go “Okay but in two posts you’re going to get to the scene you’re really excited about.” Or when I know I have a huge shoot coming up and can budget my time accordingly. This also means when I have more time or energy I can shoot through a few scenes and know that I’m set for a week or two to relax and everything is done for those posts.
Planning will probably look different for everyone, but I really do think it’s helpful to have something tangible and attainable to look forward to in those moments you’re feeling unmotivated.
2. Find What Keeps you Motivated and Lean In:
This is crucial for me and arguably what has kept my story going for so long. I have this story written decades in advance, and knowing those points I want to get to and dynamics I want to explore keeps me motivated when I’m feeling down.
However, for you, it may be precisely the opposite. Just the element of gameplay or the unknown may be engaging, or perhaps simply a certain lot that you’ve downloaded or era of clothing. It is important to remember there’s no right way to tell your story, so structuring your own time and efforts around what you like, even if it means changing stuff halfway through, is crucial to making this enjoyable and sustainable.
Sometimes for me it’s smaller motivations, and I’m really into building or CAS or character development for a few days or weeks at a time. I’ll play around with how my posts are told or even what I’m doing in the background (getting my next gen CC folder ready, building a lot, doing an ask game). Switching gears into what’s interesting to me at that moment can revive my interest in the story overall and prevent a burnout in the long term.
The same is true in inverse. If there’s an element that is standing in the way of the hobby bringing you fulfillment, it may not be as necessary as you think. Recently for me I also had a bit of burnout with editing, and this is a huge reason why I finally downloaded reshade. Now my editing time is cut back immensely and I find myself reinspired by taking screenshots and have leaned further into landscape shots and just aesthetic filler.
3. TAKE BREAKS:
Yes, this is in all caps. Yes, it is the most important. Posting our pixel stories is a surprisingly mentally draining hobby, so you absolutely have to give your brain and creativity a rest from time to time. When you start feeling that it’s consistently a chore, that’s a sure fire sign that it’s time to take a break.
Now for me (because of the schedule) sometimes y’all won’t even see when I take a little break. It might mean that I take a week or two away from the game but I’ll have the posts done in advance so there’s no gap in posting. It also means I can just push things back a bit if needed; then when I’m feeling ready to go again, I know exactly where I left off and what the next steps are.
The latter is probably where the schedule is most important to me, as I do feel like a lot of simmers take necessary breaks but have difficulty knowing how to pick back up again. I personally strive to take longer breaks at the end of an arc (like when Florence left New Orleans in 1925). This gives me a feeling of satisfaction, like I left the story on a good note and am free to take however much time I need without the pressure to return that I left something unfinished. It also means I know exactly what I’m returning to, and can do necessary preparations like lot building or pose downloading before I even start posting again.
But overall I will reiterate what I said above: if you have a story to tell or gameplay to share or edits to make they are your creations and you should always view them as such.
Sharing here can sometimes be a bit of an odd juxtaposition, where you feel like you need to have a certain look or a certain caliber of posts or even a certain frequency. Finding the way this hobby brings you the most fulfillment is absolutely what is most important, and that way you want to return after those moments of burnout because it is still something that you enjoy doing.

Hello, Hope you're having a good day/night ahead. I'm the anon who sent that ask about the secondaries.
Hello nonny, I am having a good day reading all about Eberron's Fairhaven, painting NPC minis, and drawing train compartment maps in preparation for our DnD session tomorrow.
Firstly, the shc quiz sorts me into snake primary, and badger secondary. I suspect i may have burned and unburned or am currently burnt. i also suspect that i may have adhd.
Thank you for the information, let's see what the community can add to this *cracks knuckles* (and by this I don't only mean me, because if anyone wants to chime in, please feel free. I don't usually do this anymore, and haven't done it much in general).
The thing where the quiz says, 'all has gone to shit what do you do?' i don't know each time i imagine a hypothetical situation - i just know what to do - either by some prior knowledge or a miraculous room/situation reading
I don't actually remember the question, but it has been some years since I last took the test^^. There is a reason why hypotheticals are only useful to a certain extend, though. Real stories, preferably about small every-day stuff, are much better for sorting someone in general.
I also analyse things all the time, like all the time. its kind of a habit. I'm having a conversation? i'm analysing what i'm saying, what your reaction and answers are, and responding based on what you say.
It kind of sounds birdy, but I know a few people who do this, too, and I don't think they are all bird secondary. I do it, and I don't think I am a bird. I'm thinking more of 'learning/trying to improve social interactions', and/or 'having insecurities around social interactions' when I read it, which could happen regardless of secondaries. Could also be burning, as you said.
i'm not good at lying in the moment but if thought about at least once i can lie easily. makes me feel a liiittle icky - but not always & not if its for good reason.
Half a point against lion then, though feeling icky while lying is mostly about primaries.
Snake: I envy this secondary so effing much (at least, by the quiz's description), i want to be them! but also am in awe of how they seem to code switch shift and maintain that? and not grow tired of it? i would love to be able to do this, but i know i'm not capable of holding onto that for long, or at all.
Not feeling capable of doing something, saying it's tiring, can be burned language, where you do not feel at home with any secondarie's methods at all, and therefore they are all tiring. Or it can be one of the other secondaries admiring they do not experience in the same way. Only you can decide what it is, nonny.
But some of the notes of the description the quiz gives like, [maneuverability] i love this word there - i just - what a good word. beautiful word to describe how i sometimes feel i am & want to be.
I lack the context for the word atm, and I do not have the time to look it up. My best guess is that if you are not snake secondary, you might be on your way to acquiring a model because you admire what it represents. Or you are unburning a snake secondary. Again, you tell me, nonny.
[While a Snake secondary might find creative interpretations and presentations of the truth to be comforting and necessary] YES
I agree. Though not while talking to lion secondaries, and other people who value honesty above everything else. It is an interesting experience consciously trying to be in neutral for someone^^
I mostly just want to be this secondary, but i know i can't i'm not quick enough, or smart enough for this, it sounds exhausting and exhilarating at the same time.
OK, first things first. You do not need to be smart to be snake secondary, or quick necessarily. Shocker, I know ;)
Yes, this might be how others see us, or it might not, depending on if you are good at multiplayer or not. But in my experience, snake secs mostly do not see themselves thus. Not necessarily. We might have treasured social memories that go in this direction, but otherwise, we are just average and trying our best, just like everyone else.
Bird: I know i collect, but the quiz just makes it sound way more important than it is and i don't really do it like that - like, its not even recent info - this is info i collected when i was younger (im 20 now)
Hm, I think I do not really know what you mean by collect here. In my understanding, birds like to collect stuff/knowlegde/people/etc. not because they need them right now, not even necessarily because they might need them later, but just because it is fun, or their brain demands it.
For myself, I cannot stand to collect anything that I do not love or use, and 'I might need it later' is a pet peeve of mine. But I am not only a snake sec, I am also a minimalist, and I suspect this is far more of the latter than the former.
Let's say half a point for bird?
I don't think i build tools for specific situations either, i just go in, analyse what's going on, and just know what i can do to work on this
Sounds pretty situational to me.
i do like preparing for situations, a tiny prep a while before would help tons. Throw me in without prior warning, i'll panic a teensy bit and then adapt - by coming up with plans on the fly, but its a little stressful, but i will rise to the occasion.
Hm, maybe bird model? Although the way you say 'coming up with plans on the fly' and 'it's a little stressful' do make me think there's a bit more to the bird. Although the former can just be a phrasing issue, and the latter might be burned talk. Another half point for bird?
[When the only point of learning, preparing, or studying is because you want to? ] This i get so totally. I love learning.
I love learning, too, but only when there is a practical reason for it. I learned about group management while I was leading a group for some time. I learned about shading and colour theory when I started painting minis. I am re-learning music theory because I need it for my guitar practice, etc.
This might be just a me thing, or it might be a difference between snake and bird, I don't know.
Lion: [Lion secondaries are self-defined. Their integrity and their honesty is a deal with themselves, not others. ] This i so totally get.
A point for lion then.
[they act based on what they believe, who they are, and what they think is the right thing to do. ] not always, but yes, i do agree I'm quite direct i've been told, and honest. i can be this. and i don't mind being it - but not always - which makes me think this miight be a model? idk
Might be a model, or might be burning. I have seen this in some unburning lions I know, so could be both. But the way you phrased it ('I don't mind being it') feels more like a model or a performance to me.
I just love how lions get shit done.
Who doesn't?
like yes, go them! i wish i could do that and be less wishy-washy about it. i hesitate a lot.
Man, this reminds me so strongly of a currently unburning lion secondary I know. I give burned lion a big point for this, actually
And finally, Badger: The thought of me being a badger secondary - irritates me, annoys me, i don't want it - though i suspect i might be. i don't like it at all. i don't know why
Might be interesting for you to find out more about why you are so against it. I have the same kind of feelings about bird secondary, and though I have not come to a satisfying conclusion on it, the journey so far was very rewarding.
-My culture is quite a badger-secondary culture
Not just your culture, your family too as you describe later. Maybe it has something to do with your antipathy? ;)
[Badger Secondaries invest themselves into their world with service and support.] uhh no, i'd much rather be alone
I'd say you might be an introvert, which does not mean you couldn't be badger sec. But we count it against badger for the moment.
the quiz keeps giving me badger and i don't relate all that much i do wish it worked that way though - people you know coming to aid, reputation preceding you - the goals.
This definitely sounds like you have bad experiences with groups/communities, with being on the outside of them, etc. It also could be burned badger talk ('I wish it worked that way'). Maybe you'll find a reason for your burning if you get into it more? I wouldn't know, I am not a therapist.
[a Badger wants to show up. They want to work well and fairly. They want to achieve things honestly and stand on solid ground. ] i used to be this a lot? i still am, but its more ehhhhhh don't care, just get things done. i need it done.
Either you were unburned then and are burned now, or you had a model and it is burned now. Either way, this is 100% burned talk.
[They pour labor, time, and love into what they care about and those investments pay themselves back in time. ] No (this totally describes my mum, to an extent my dad, and my paternal grandmother by the way)
So not only is your culture badger sec, your family is, too. No wonder you have issues with this particular secondary, whether it is yours or not.
i also don't mind cutting corners - like the badger way sounds right, but also seems tiring. like, is there no better way. this - i can't- i did this all through most of school, and i'm now done with it.
This also is strong burned talk, either of a model or of your secondary.
How i deal w people: i do match their energy, and respond how i think they'd react well to, but also analysis, and observation.
Sounds fluid to me, with a nice bird model to help improve your interactions. Feels very familiar ;)
Also, if i've interacted with certain people under a specifc role, or they've seen me in a particular way for a long while - i struggle to be any way different with them, like i canNot. help.
Hm, interesting. I don't think it has to do with sorting much, though? At least for neurotypicals, putting people in specific roles and boxes is how we function socially, and fighting that requires constant effort. I think it happens to all of us all the time, and it is not a bad thing as long as you are fine with your assigned roles.
Can even be fun to play with it a little, you know? Shocking people mildly with hinting at other sides of you, and watching how they react.
Low stakes problem solving - cause secondary is the how- in game, unless i figure it out in a short while i go use the cheatsheet, i don't like to stress on just a game.
Sensible ;) And either burned, snake, or bird.
Difficult problem solving: take in info, understand everything. what do i know, how do i feel,what's the situation. if conflict between what needs to be done, and how i feel/what i feel/think is right - come to a compromise, and act. but do - if all thinky stuff fails go with gut.
You know, this rather sounds like lion to me, with the emphasis on acting and doing shit, and going with your gut. Could also be frustrated burned talk, because when nothing feels right, I at least tend to not do anything, and then after a while get frustrated and just do whatever to just do something.
that's all i can think of. Thank you, i hope this is enough for you to help me out. Do feel free to reorder this so its more helpful to you. Have a nice day! And sorry, for the long(er than i even expected) message, and for bothering you.
More burned talk, what with the bothering and all, or just cultural differences. It's not a bother; I wouldn't have said yes if I didn't wanted to crack my knuckles on this, and I appreciate you asking beforehand.
I think you are definitely burned secondary; there is just too much burned talk here for you not to be. It is difficult to say what is under it, but I get slightly liony vibes from it, or (and I am sorry to say it) also badger.
But I really do not know you enough to say if you once had a badger model and it burned because you couldn't live in it anymore and your lion wanted out, or if your badger got burned because it did not present in the right way to fit with the badger secondary expectations your family and culture had for you.
I do not know how to help you find out, or how to help you unburn your secondary. I only know that you sound like you could use a break, and I hope you get to have one. I definitely send some hugs and positive vibes your way.

I hope this doesn’t come across as rude or ungrateful for every amazing thing you’ve given us, I wanted to also elaborate on the poll answer 😂 I LOVE what’s currently happening but I don’t want it to stress you out to feel like you need to continue! Maybe would it be less pressure on you to wrap up existing stories and just do one shots on those so you have more creative freedom with new stuff? Again, definitely don’t want that to come across as rude or like I’m telling you to stop! I just know how hard it must be to feel like so many people are relying on you for something. I’ll read anything and everything you post!
Hey, nonny. This is actually the sweetest thing. I'm not really feeling pressure to post anything specific, I'm just always curious about why everyone is here lol. I know one-shots are kind of more popular and easier to consume, but I really, really enjoy writing series. And I want to keep doing that.
Thank you for being kind and not pushy at all! Here's the poll if anyone else wanted to vote. I am honestly loving the results so far, because they are really spread out fairly evenly. And that makes me excited to keep writing everything I want to write!

𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐑 @batteredoptimist​ —
      Two years ago today, we started talking nonstop every day and it just... didn’t stop. It didn’t stop when Westley and Muriel decided that they needed a whole server for their lemons, and it didn’t change when the server grew to 300+ threads, over 100 new characters, and the greatest stories that I’ve ever told and been a part of in my life. We’ve been a part of each other’s life in a big way for two years now — not counting the three extra years of me being awkward. Sometimes, I sit here and think of how it’s strange how the world works, and when it chooses to bring people who will change your life forever into the picture. Oftentimes I wonder why I hadn’t met you sooner, or when things weren’t so hard — and then I think of how amazing it is that I met you at all.
       When you asked me about my sailor lad a couple years ago, I had no idea my life was about to change course. Having you in my life has been like — breathing magic. There are no words that I can give to you to tell you how much I cherish the existence of you and of James and Muriel and Rosie and Romana and all of the countless others. How many people can say that they get to live their childhood dream with their best friend and partner-in-crime/writing? Every day I wake up and get to write — I get to go on absolutely lovely, wild, magical adventures with this person who matters so dearly to me every time we start a story. I cherish every single moment we’ve been in each other’s lives, I adore our stories, and I am invested in your characters and their adventures just as much as I am my own.
       I know that I sap a lot — but I don’t know if you truly know how profoundly you matter to me. How much I appreciate you and your existence and your presence in my life. There simply is no other Nonny. You’re my Sam (and I would like to be your Sam, too!). I would journey from the Shire to Mordor with you — and you’ve already done so for me. I still feel as though I didn’t deserve you in my life for the longest — but I am trying every single day to learn and grow and bring you a bit of the magic that you’ve brought to my life. And maybe that’s the journey — but I’m so grateful for every moment I get to share with you — even if the distance is a bit unfortunate for IRL adventures. I am always, always on your side for every single adventure, and I will always be cheering you on even in those adventures that I’m not as much a part of.
       You are a wonderful, kind, compassionate human being and you are an old soul just like our dear James. I still see him in you every day, he’s never gone and never far because he lives in your great big soft and caring heart. You also have so much creative talent and passion that it absolutely blows me away — from your love of animation, to your gorgeous art, your world-building, your characters, the whole of it. It means so, so much to me that I’ve gotten to be a part of your creative adventures. And on that note — can you believe it? We’ve written 40 novels worth of words? Over three million now? Seven thousand pages? I love our stories. I adore that it’s you that I get to share them with.
       Thank you so much for being here. For being you. For sharing your magic and kindness and care. For your patience with me. For our stories. For your consistency. For being able to translate me. For giving me the benefit of the doubt. For the flowerpots and adventures. I hope with all of my heart to keep growing into flowerpots with you until we’re old and have been friends forever and have three hundred Discord servers worth of writing, and many adventures (both with the characters and with us, too!) It’s so amazing to me that our creativity together seems so limitless — and despite life throwing a million curve-balls at both of us on the regular, we’re still here because it matters. I’m over here tearing up like a goof. You deserve all of the good things, okay? And I want to be around to see them all. 
      I adore you. I adore James, and Muriel, and Rosie, and Romana. I adore our time. I adore that you're in my life. Happy second year of adventures — I can’t wait to see what the third brings. Hopefully all of the good things, as are much deserved. Either which way — I’m happy to be on this journey with you. Hold that boat, I'm coming with you! ♡

1.) What do you love about Eddie?
2.) What would you like to know about Eddie?
3.) What would you like to experience with Eddie?
NONNIE I SAW THIS AND NEARLY SCREAMED OMG PLEASE YOU'VE GONE STRAIGHT TO MY HEART!!! HOW WILL I SURVIVE????😍😍😍😍😍😍I've been wanting to vent about Eddie just like this for WEEKS so thank you thank you THANK YOU for sending these questions in!!! Gonna tag @hersweetrevenge because I already promised her I'd vent about Eddie, so instead of a rambly ask, she can have this post instead.😂💀
LONG POST UNDER THE CUT. REMEMBER YOU ASKED FOR THIS.🥺
TW; I get emotional, mentions of bullying & struggling to find one's place in the world, extreme gushing! I am GOING for it!!!!
What do you love about Eddie?
So, so many things.
I love that he's the person I needed the most when I was in school; I was most definitely a lost sheepie and in many ways, I do feel like I'm still looking for Eddie. I was bullied for fifteen years - literally from the day I started pre-school right up until I graduated college - and I love that he's the person I needed back then. There's some catharsis in loving him now as I look back on my teenage self. I love the way he welcomes and accepts people, the way he meets them where they are and doesn't judge them, unless they give him a reason not to. He's kind right up until he isn't and he gives as good as he gets in all ways. I love him for knowing when to speak up and when to put down the hatches and settle in for the ride. I love him for becoming the very person he needed when he was younger; there's a quiet strength in that.
I love his clothes, his taste in music - it's very similar to mine. Ozzy was my first love, I remember throwing absolute tantrums if mum turned off one of his songs before it finished. As an adult, if Ozzy doesn't make me smile, it's a serious red flag towards the state of my mental health. I fall asleep every night listening to a Black Sabbath album (usually Master of Reality) and I will not sleep if I don't have Ozzy playing. I love that Eddie would vibe so hard with that and he and I would get to bond over Ozzy. If Eddie ever dated me, he'd have to agree to 'share' me - if he wants one more kiss, then I get one more Ozzy song before we get out of the van. Take it or leave it, Munson.😂
I love Eddie's bravery. He'll shout, swear, call it stupid, all three all at once, but he will do it anyway because it's right. He'll do it, but he's gonna let the world know he doesn't want to and I love that so much. His perseverance, his loyalty to his friends and his uncle, his ability to endure a fucking man-hunt but still being kind, still cracking jokes... his genuine want to graduate, his love of D&D, his passion and devotion, creativity, imagination, determination, compassion and emotional intelligence, his perceptiveness, his gentility, his humour, his ability to read someone with a look and know what they need from him and the way he'll give it to them if he can. His tirades and his ability to listen to an eight minute song and master playing it in just eighteen days around all the other things I just mentioned. I love his voice and the way he speaks with his hands.
I love Eddie's internal and external beauty but most of all, most of all, I love Eddie Munson because he's Eddie.
I wrote a love letter to Eddie, which you can find HERE if you want some more thoughts on this.
2.) What would you like to know about Eddie?
I wanna talk to Eddie. Just for five minutes. About anything. About D&D in general (teach me please so I can spend more time with youuuu) and his favourite thing about planning campaigns. About what he ate for breakfast this morning or if he skipped and would he like one of my snacks? About the first song he listened to this morning and the last one he remembers before he fell asleep. About how he's feeling. About why he's feeling. About his tattoo designs and which one is his favourite and why. About why he has his beautiful hair that way. About how he can be so full of love and hope and acceptance even with and after everything he's gone through. About how he's a shining beacon for so many people and how he managed to become the person for others that he himself always needed. About his favourite songs and what lyrics make his eyes close of their own accord and which guitar riffs make his heart feel like it's bleeding.
I would also like to know would I ever be good enough to be loved by him?
3.) What would you like to experience with Eddie?
Honestly, I feel like Eddie would be able to teach me how to live. I've never really 'done' all the things I'm 'supposed' to; I've never tried a cigarette, never gotten stoned (I did accidentally hotbox at a house party when I was fifteen but that's a whole other story), never really been drunk (so I've never had a hangover etc.), I've never had sex or gotten kicked out of somewhere for causing mischief, I've been in relationships but never been on a date (yeaaaah lmao I never made great relationship choices...), I've never been to a concert or seen live music up close.
I've never really felt alive or like "oh holy shit okay so this is what life is for". I just... exist, really. I'm twenty-five and I spent so long trying to figure out how to join the world as a teenager but I always felt out of place, like I never belonged anywhere or with anyone and I still feel that way now. Now I feel like I'll never be able to do it; I'll forever be watching people live from the sidelines. I'm actively pursuing a career, I have a stable job yada yada and I'm studying, too, but I just... I don't feel alive.
I don't know what my place in the world is but Eddie would help me to see I've already got it carved out. I have screams lodged in my chest, every day I have thoughts of absolutely losing my shit - doing something impulsive in a positive way, like catching a train to nowhere - and the closest I can get to that is playing music so loud I can't hear myself think, but one day it won't be enough and I'll wanna go out and do something. I feel like I could trust Eddie to give me these experiences and others. Eddie could teach me how to live, show me how to change my perspective, how to better myself. He would see in me what's already there but I'm blind to and he'd be everything I didn't know I needed (I mean... that's true).
I want to lay on my bed with Eddie while we blast Metallica or Ozzy or Black Sabbath, my hair spilling over his shoulder (which he'd brush for me later because it's almost to my tailbone and I need help with it most nights), our shoulders, elbows and knees touching, toes knocking together, staring at the ceiling, talking about everything and nothing and all the spaces in between.
I want him to teach me how to play D&D and to sit with Hellfire during campaigns; just to soak in the way Eddie is so in his element, having the time of his life. I just want to experience Eddie being Eddie. I'd love every second. Time spent with him would be yet another gift.
I want to cup his face in my hands and tell him all those things we all say every day - I love you, you were so brave, I'm so proud of you, you did everything you could, thank you for being you, and all those other things he never got to hear and absolutely should have done. I want Eddie to know he is loved for exactly who he is, how he is. I want him to be happy, healthy and safe, and I want him to know I'd throw myself into the fucking sun if it'd make him smile.
I want to experience life with Eddie but not, like, daily life... or not just daily life. I wanna throw myself in head first and experience a life with Eddie. I imagine being loved by him is an absolute gift. I want Eddie to experience these things with me - to experience being totally 100% loved for all that he is, and all that he isn't, and to know that he is loved. If he knows even in his darkest moments that I love him, that's everything.
In conclusion, I love Eddie because he's Eddie and I'd do anything for him - like, I'd subject myself to kissing Jason Carver if it meant I got to hug Eddie for five minutes afterwards. I'd do anything for him, to an extreme case. I like to think he'd appreciate some of what's in here.💖

With the recent negativity in the community, I figured we could use some uplifting. So I’m asking simblr to pick a blog or two, (or more if you want) and say why they inspire you, or what you admire about them. Or simply.. Why you think they’re cool. Whatever your heart desires. Let’s just spread some good. :) ❤️

You and I have had our differences, but I wanted to say thank you for being a positive safe space for Dean/Castiel/Jensen/Misha/Destiel. Too many places I’ve been apart of that are supposed to be safe spaces (namely Profound Bond, but other discords and private gc’s) delight in tearing down Destiel or reaching for the worst possible intentions of everything that Misha or Jensen say.
And this, my friends, is why the mods of spnscripthunt screech "cult" about the fact that I establish basic boundaries and expected social codes of civil behavior in my server. PB... wants to try, but all it resorts to is rigid overmodding of topics. Like how dare you squii also about Alex in this Mishalex picture in the Misha room, DELETED, TAKE THAT HERESY TO THE ALEX CHANNEL jesus, jan. calm down. So then nobody can have organic convos and 2po and dotp and those folks FROM scripthunt run around shitting in the corners and dragging people to DMs to shove propaganda down their throat when they aren't salting in any semi viable channel.
Yeah. I know. I. Fucking. Know. It's miserable out there for people that like. Have eyes and ears and just want to enjoy the content. This place is overflowing with entitled shitlords that think antifanning is the only true fanning, that their lies about creatives can supercede who they are as people, EVERYTHING.
I don't care about ~differences to be honest. Hell, a few people that left in the *literal server coup to try to delete my server* have, once they basically apologized and recognized where and how it got out of pocket, come back. I just care about like. Emotional expense bullshit. Because yes, guys, I'm sorry, even the best of you, just be exposure to this deranged ass psychosocial bubble, have developed really bad habits. You're human. Exposure happens. Normalization happens. So odds are if I ever went off, it was less about what you said, than how you said it.
The other nonnie for example REALLY DOES THINK THEY WERE BEING GENUINE. They didn't compute, because how NORMALIZED it is here, how 1. asking a repetitive question on anon is itself an energy investment request in expectant tone from a literal faceless douchebag i can't hold conversation with or know as a person and 2. attaching their own presupposition that I might somehow be Overdoing It even though they ADMITTED they didn't have context.
Like. Don't. If you're gonna ask me shit, put aside your foregone conclusions fucking first. That's the entire problem with this place. That's the plot of the show. And yes it's a metanarrative, and when you are literally aware of that, watching those shenanigans clog up your anon box or try to slip into your server makes you want to like. Rip off your own arm and chew on it. STAHP. omG
So yeah. Unless you like killed a puppy or something anon, regardless of the differences, check out the server. If we had a conflict, under the respect of understanding it's still a space I maintain those conversational boundaries on for a mix of respect and community environment, that's fine. Shelter's still open for the sane.
We have basic debate rules. It's not that we don't allow debate. In fact, the server itself is premised *in* debate. But that debate is literal debate, and designed to end cyclones of indefensible misinformation, appeals to nonsense invisible majorities, concern trolling or halfass shutdowns. Which, again is why the spnscripthunt people shit their pants, because 2po and co's tactics don't work there. Because that's not how reality works when your entitlement goes down the toilet. So anyway. Drop in if you need, w/e.
But btw the above notes about the points of "people who think they're genuine, and even the best of you do this"--these statements are worth taking away from here well beyond my blog, like how you engage creatives and the angles you ask THEM questions from. I can promise most if not all are as tired as I am of it. Because we're always told what it is, even when people ~ask. And after about 6 years of getting talked over by the people that think they're asking you questions, putting the burden on YOU to unpack THEIR bullshit BEFORE you can even answer the ACTUAL QUESTION, like. I'm tired. But imagine how pissed, say, Robbie or Bobo are. Or Jensen.
I'm literally just asking people to be more considerate of other people's perspectives, communication methods, and emotional energy before springing in. Basically start being more critical of how we treat people and how much we expect, and how much those expectations are shaped by lack of context inside our own heads, much of which can often be found for themselves.
Opening that door can be scary. But rather than arguing if someone else is sure they already went through the door or not (I promise, we are sure, even if you're not), figure out why you're not sure there's a door when you're looking right at it, and what YOU need to ask YOURSELF to open it too.
Because yeah. I'm not subtle about how deep the misinfo about these authors is. So maybe start there. Start unpacking that shit and trying to look it up. Then, if you struggle, ask for help. And once YOU are doing the hard work of inspecting the origins of YOUR perspectives and challenging YOURSELF, whether you realize it or not, the asks you send for help will drop those challenges you hurl at others to break down your bad viewpoints. Because you're already working on it. Which is good. (And the plot.)
Then it won't be "Hey, are you SUREEEEEEEE Bobo intended it the whole time?" it'll be "I saw some tweets of his that seemed important but I'm not sure of the context, can you help?" And suddenly, you guys are a lot less casually hostile and frankly, obnoxious.

Hello! How are you feeling?
What is your motivation to write and what got you to start writing? Did you love to write since you learnt how to or is it a hobby you developed later on? And last but not least - what drew you to Loki?(i hope none of these are too intrusive, if they are, I'm very sorry that i asked that)
I hope you get back to feeling supre healthy in no time me!
Lots of love❤️❤️
Hi there, nonny! ☺️ Well... I'm feeling okay, but not excellent. 🙈 Thanks for asking! ☺️
Ohhh I love your questions! 🥰 Let's dig into this! 😁 (This might become a long answer... I'm already apologising. 🙈)
My motivation: Lot of things. I am a very creative person. I love to explore the 'what if's' of a plot. I love to create my own version of characters and their stories. Also, all the lovely people on here, who are reading my stories are a huge motivation. All my friends on here, who share the same passion as I do. It's great!
What got me into writing: Harry Potter. My first fic was a continuation of a fic (I think. Can't remember exactly, it's been a long time) I read about, uhhh... 8, 9 years back? That was the start. I stopped writing again, though, 'cause I was sooo bad at it. 😅 A really good friend of mine pulled me back into writing again, when she showed me Doctor Who, about 6 years back.
Did I love to write since I learned it or is it a hobby I developed over time? Yep, loved it from the very start. I saw it, tried it, loved it - even though I was really shitty in the beginning. 😂 It was my way of escaping reality - and it still is.
What drew me to Loki: Weeeell... He popped up on my tumblr dashboard from time to time, and I always asked myself: Who is that handsome, mysterious stranger and why is he here??? No joke, he followed me - until I finally decided to find out who the hell he is. That's how I discovered the movie 'Thor'. I watched it and immediately fell head over heels for Loki. It's not just his incredibly good looks, no... I just love his character. He's so multifaceted. He can be dark, mysterious, dangerous, mean and arrogant, but also sassy, funny, vulnerable and utterly charming. Despite that, I tend to love the 'bad guys/misunderstood characters' in movies and series, so... 😅
Thank you sooo much for these questions! They are not intrusive at all! I loved them! 🥰 You are so kind, thank you! Sending lots of love back! 💚

Random question but what is your favorite NOES movie? And why that one, if you have it?
Ooh nonnie thanks for asking this! I am always excited to talk about movies with people, especially the ANOES series, one of my favorites that I love watching no matter how goofy they get.
As for a favorite, it's hard to just leave it to one movie, and for the longest, it was the first one. It was the one I saw the most as a kid, the one that really got me into the whole idea of Freddy. He was scarier and less goofy at that point, even though there were bits of humor that made me laugh. Like the finger slicing where his face is all just :D and Tina is freaked out. Hilarious to me. Yes, my humor is broken. But the room scene with Tina was so awesome and I'd never seen anything like it, I was so into the fear factor of it all even though I never got scared of them. Oh, and John Saxon (RIP).
And then I really enjoyed Dream Warriors because I really loved Patricia Arquette and just having her as one of Freddy's victims was exciting, then I watched more and really enjoyed all of the characters that were grouped together because of the same awful dreams. They were all broken in some way, they had been targeted, but I really loved the group as a whole and loved their chemistry together. Phillip was my favorite out of them all, and I really loved how creative the kills were in this film as well. Oh, and John Saxon (RIP).
I am seeing a connection... lmao.
And I have to admit as weird and goofy as it is, Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare is one of the honorable mentions because before I owned all the movies, that's the one that played on TV the most, and Freddy was just so funny to me, I really enjoyed the humor, the somewhat awful acting from the kids, and I can quote that movie so much lol. The 3D part was fun when I finally got the movies, too! And more lore into Freddy's past really made me happy, seeing human Freddy there as a kid, a teenager, and an adult was something I wouldn't admit that I loved as a kid (I had just a weird crush on him at 8). I loved that there was more backstory to him, I love me some lore. And Alice Cooper was there! So cool!
So my brain flips back and forth between 1 and 3 mostly, even though there are many reasons why I love 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and Freddy vs Jason. I sort of include FvJ into the series,

How did you start recording podfic??
Hi Nonnie,
I wanted to somehow contribute to fandom badly, but I am shit at writing (English is not my first language) and I am only skilled in technical drawing.
However, I am pretty good with technology and I read a out loud a lot to my niece, so I'm not too bad at that either. Hence one day I just tried my brother's gaming mic and recorded my first story. It took a loooong ass time, mostly because I needed to get used to Audacity (the recording software). I read a lot of tutorials, watched youtube vids on how to best equalize the sound, how to cut sound tracks, how to use effects etc. It's funny that pretty much at the same time I started making podfics, I also started my PhD in bioacoustics... so my fumbling around with acoustic equipment actually turned out to be useful! Thanks to the lovely people in the SteveTony fandom I grew in confidence and recorded more and more stories, edited, and uploaded them. I love doing it, especially long stories, where I can give voice to my favourite moments and take them with me when I travel. It's also cool to know I can contribute to fandom! And I can work creatively again! Which is why I am very frustrated that I simply do not have the time to do the bare minimum (which would be to finally edit and upload the podfics I still owe for MTH and FTH *siiiiiiigh*).
I hope this answers your question :3

You know why I like you? You're like the antithesis of me which is probably a good thing. What I'm about to say is overly flattering and perhaps overstated but someone has to speak facts here. You're iconic because
1) you're literally Near from Death Note. You could beat Light Yagamis ass in no time if you wanted to. No rly you guys are alike in many ways
2) YOUR SARCASM. Loving it. Never getting tired of it.
3) you're a human cat basically
4) you have a big artistic side/inner world/imagination and we love it. Your taste in art is great, truly.
5) Grammar queen. Have you considered tutoring ppl or something? Shut up and take my money
6) sometimes when I ask you some ridiculous "what if" questions, you overthink and actually answer them seriously opening new realities and possibilities which is both cute and scary at the same time
7) you're literally an INTJ, what else can I say? You introverted badass. Although wth am I saying? No matter what kind of mbti type you have, I'd still think you're the coolest
8) here u dropped this 👑 srsly tho, why do you keep dropping it? Accept that you're the queen already
9) when some nonnie talks shit about your besties or signless who are also shy icons, you're a walking definition of stfu I'm talking😌🤚
10) You expanded my perverted fantasy. thank you for that. When I'm having trouble falling asleep I just start thinking about your fanfictions until I'm asleep and the next thing I know is me waking up literally drooling all on my pillow. Meaning I had... delightful dreams
11) Intuitive, analytical, calm, rational, composed, judgmental, strategic, persistent, honest, straightforward, observant, insightful, empathetic, creative, never the same, totally unique, completely never been done before...
12) all of your statements are backed up by facts and data. you have my utmost admiration for that.
13) you're just nice. that's it.
Thank you for being so sweet, and I'm pretty sure part of my creativity comes from being an anxious over-thinker. Gotta be creative to come up with lots of absurd shit to make myself paranoid despite 90% being nearly impossible.
And since you think so highly of me, do me a favor: don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you're creative and fun, and I KNOW you're kind. Take care, anon!
