#I don't know if I'll change my tumblr url

[lock-my-feelings-in-a-jar]

what were a few other url ideas you had?

at first i was thinking of something from the song day after day because i always think "that's me about all of my band boys"

I REMEMBER FIIIINDING OUT ABOUT YOUUUUU

EVERY DAY MY MIND IS ALL AROUND YOUUUUU

LOOKING OUT OF MY LONELY GLOOM(and/or "looking out from my lonely room")

DAAAAY AFTER DAAAYYY

BRING IT HOME BABY MAKE IT SOOOON

I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOUUUUUUUUU

but of course just 'dayafterday' was taken, and day-after-day etc. which isn't that surprising because it's a common thing to say. i wanted a shorter url like that but it's not easy to find one that isn't taken. then "looking out of my lonely gloom" would be the blog name.

i was thinking of using "mymindisallaroundyou" for the url instead or with dashes but decided against it

another one i almost picked was from maybe tomorrow where tom sings "let the light of your love shine through the window of my heart" so my url would have been "letthelightofyourlove" or "let-the-light-of-your-love" and then my blog name would be "shine through the window of my heart". i just really love that line and still applies to my band boys.

i was also thinking of the line from shine on where pete sings "don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past" because sometimes i get a little too caught up in the past and i think it would be a good reminder to not do that so much.

AND there was a part from tom's demo, love my lady(about his wife which is super cute), where he says "like a sunshine on a rainbow" which would be the url and then the next line i was gonna change for tumblr reasons, he says "black nights, broken ways, got your bed to sleep on" where i would have put "got my blog to post on" at the end instead. my boys are the sunshine on a rainbow

i also considered using "knock down the old grey wall" from no matter what because i love that line and, for me, it would mean like my walls of anxiety in my head that need to be knocked down, and then the blog name would be "be a part of it all" because i want to be a part of things more instead of just hiding from everything all the time.

and and and i was thinking of the start of "i'm in love" where he says "i'm not well can't you tell" but i feel like "i'm not well" in all url variations would most likely be taken so i'd have to include both of those into the url, hope that's not taken too, and then i'd have nothing that i would want for the blog name to go with that.

i was trying to make one from pete's demo ostrich because sometimes i feel like the ostrich in that scenario, but it wasn't working for me.

SO i was stuck between a lot of these and still listening to more songs trying to come up with any different ones that would apply to me without it just being like "i don't relate to this but i like the song" because there are too many of those

i told myself that if i don't choose one by new years day, i'll just pick one that i already had in mind that stands out to me/relates to me the most in the moment and go with it. so i chose this one from name of the game.

it's a good song by the way and i think everybody should go listen to it right now and for the rest of your lives forever

#my mind is in a totally different place now fro #m when i was asked #why did this to cut into a new tag in the middle of typing #anyway when i was asked what i would choose for a url before #before i decided to actually change it #i gave a very different answer #i never know what my mind will do next #also at first i wanted one with a name in it from one of their songs so i could just #go by that name here #because i've been asked what my name is a few times and i don't want to use my real name on tumblr #but none of those were working for a url+blog name match #and nothing was relatable #there were some more options from some other songs but they didn't feel like they applied as much or just didn't feel right when typed out #like perfection and we're for the dark and timeless and dennis and- #i could keep going all day #okay i'll stop typing now

Hey just letting u know on mobile ur ko fi links redirects to ur tumblr page, not sure if it's the same on pc

Ah yeah, this came up when I was making my computer goal post;; I use Tumblr's redirect system which doesn't get along with it's app for some reason. I'm still trying to figure out the best solution for that since Tumblr seems to be weird about posts with outside links.

#Orion Talks #the eternal question of ''how many layers are people willing to click through'' #some people say outside links don't make tumblr suppress the post #but i used them on the ephemer painting i just posted and #shrug??? #i don't know #i was considering having the link be a redirect #but the text is the URL typed out HAHA #on the website where people delete captions for The Aesthetic #ugh #maybe I'll change the Patreon & Store links #to redirect to my previous pinned post #and make those direct links? #so people can just click twice to get to it???? #AGH

rest in peace to-kill-a-moshing-bird 2013(ish)-2023 🫡🫡🫡

sorry ocd hoarder tendencies i want a url that i actually like instead of a dumb pun i made at approx. age 12 abt a book i wasn’t even that into :p forever in my heart tho she treated me very well over the years <3

#i wanna be active ish on tumblr again but i rlly didn’t like my url and i’ve been too lazy and stubborn to change it until now #so here we are ! a fresh new era ! #i am of course saving my old url on a burner account even tho i know i'll never use it again bc my brain is hellish like that <3 #idk if anyone from back in the day is still here but #i just like cataloguing my silly little interests and i don't wanna be embarrassed by my decade old url anymore ! #h tumblr era 2.0 #actually kinda 3.0 but whatever #i’m gonna update my ao3 too so i can post fics again (motivation withstanding) but i’m tired and that feels higher stakes #so i’m not gonna deal rn #but soon #ok anyway new url yay goodnight ! #(his ass is NOT going to sleep)

[cescalr]

as much as I love how i’ve made my blog look, I’m just no good with html and i can’t fix some of the problems its got, so guess who’s on a mission to redo their entire look... again

#what nth time is now? you know what I don't want to know. I'll just be sad about it. #every time i think I've Got It (TM) something just HAS to break. like squished reblogs or broken buttons or whatever.... ugh. #Should at least be able to salvage the music player. and my ask/faq page has literally not changed since the second time i changed it (as in #the first change after the first revamp of my blog from tumblr default) #goodbye nicotine theme era.... hello actually having a functioning reblog chain... #sigh #anyway. blog gonna be in maintenance mode for a while. #pls don't worry if stuff isn't working. remember you can still navigate using the url direct input of page method! #and if u really can't find something just IM me I'm chill promise

i'm moving!

hi all :)) it's been a little while since i've been very active on this blog, and whilst a good chunk of that is chronic illness/job related, another big part is that i've been really struggling with my own tagging systems, to the point it feels like work just to reblog something properly. this is primarily because the theme tagging system for this blog evolved as i did, and a lot of the tags i used to use on her became superfluous, or repeated, and despite how many i have i still struggled to find stuff!

in addition to that, because of the way the tumblr editor used to work, the way i added images to posts would randomly add blank image descriptions to the pictures that just said 'image' and i couldn't change them, which made the webs look very ugly on mobile and also inaccessible to people using screenreaders or with sight issues on any browser, which is the opposite of what i wanted. thankfully, this has now been fixed for new webs, but is unfixable on the older webs which is a real bummer :(

so, a couple of weeks ago i randomly decided to do something about it. and i did! a few of you have noticed that a new blog, @otheraraekni, has been reblogging some of my webs and adding image descriptions in the reblogs, but i've also been remaking some webs as well with the alt text finally working as intended. i've made a new navigation page for my blog organisation, full of some tags i've kept, some i've slightly changed, and a whole new kind of tags for those i use most often. currently all the links on there will lead to this blog (so some of them will lead nowhere, as they may be new tags) but my intention is to switch urls.

so -- moving? in a day or so (once i've got the last kinks worked out) i will be turning my otheraraekni blog into araekni, and this blog into an archive. because araekni is a sideblog, i don't really have the option to just attach it to an old email and set it adrift, and i'm hoping not to have to get notifications from it forever, so in a month or so it will be deleted.

why a month? hopefully that will give everyone time to save any webs they like from this blog that i haven't decided to move over to what will be the new araekni! obviously, a good portion of the followers on this blog are from a couple of years ago when i was posting webs much more regularly, and i am not at all expecting the new blog to reach the same level of popularity as this one did, but if anybody would like to follow the new blog this is your chance :) i'll queue this post a couple dozen times so as many people as possible see it, but if you don't wish to follow me over there, please know how much i have loved keeping this blog over the years and how wonderful of an experience it has been <3

[familyvideostevie]

hey.

okay. hello! i'm back. :)

maybe you noticed, maybe not, but i have been away for a while.

i wish i could say i've been out living my life, so caught up in happiness and joy and loving each day that i've just not had time for tumblr. but....that is not true. i have been having a tough time! being away has been good, as i've had time to do other things that i like and to put energy into my own well-being, but it hasn't been the best time, I'll tell you that.

i peeked on the dash every now and then to keep my queue full and reblogged soothing things to my main blog and tried my best not to feel guilty about it all (i was also booping on April 1 lol). i just...I really needed a break. i've really enjoyed being here the last six or so months as i've changed my blog and entered the pedro/tlou space but i've also felt so, so alone.

and i know that it doesn't really matter!! like, we should all take breaks and go outside and all that stuff. and I know plenty of people are not very active, but this blog has been such a vital part of my life and happiness since I started it almost two years ago, so any lapse in activity feels like a loss. I've met lifelong friends and flexed my writing muscles and learned a hell of a lot. the fact that I have started to feel isolated and alone on here is a sort of personal betrayal, and there is no one to blame but myself.

So, I’m pulling back.

it means a few things — i don’t know how much writing I’ll be doing from now on. For Joel, especially — it’s been wonderful to meet folks in that community but it has also been really detrimental to my passion for both the game and writing. I’d like to return to some other characters on my masterlist, but we’ll see. I’ve got endless personal projects away from tumblr that I want to pour love and time into (my non-reader fics, my newsletter, a romance novel, a sci-fi novel, poetry, etc). I need to fall in love with my own work again.

it's a me problem, I want to stress that. i'm working on it! irl stuff has been kicking my ass. I've had a really, really hard winter and my mental health has suffered probably more than ever before. i let things I love -- like this blog -- fester and become negative and no longer being me joy. writing became stressful and difficult and I was focused on notes and interaction and looking around me and seeing success and then looking at myself and only seeing lack.

but that's why I took a break! i am getting help and support irl, i am putting in the time and effort to feel better about being alive and to be a better friend and person all around. And I want to tell you all about it because I am so grateful for your time and attention and support, even if we’re just strangers on the internet. i know this probably seems silly -- who cares about a fanfic blog? well, i care! i care a lot! it matters to me and therefore it matters!

anyway. on to the important stuff. here I am! and here's what's going to happen on this blog:

I am working on replying to asks and reblogs and comments I missed. Thank you for being patient with me! I don't know if I'll get to them all but know I see them and I am honored every single time.

I made a totally separate ao3 account with this blog url. I'm working on uploading everything I've posted here onto there and hopefully will continue to crosspost. It is going to take a long, long time, so please be patient! (you can follow my other ao3 here for my non x-reader fanfic).

I posted this fic! Jackson!Joel pulled me back into his world. It’s the first thing I’ve written in ages, so let me know what you think. as of now it's the last planned fic for that series, but who knows!

I hit a milestone while i was away that I am absolutely blown away by. I'm planning a celebration around it sometime this spring (hopefully) and I’d love to see you participate :)

lastly, thank you so much to my friends for letting me complain, whine, winge, etc. I am so sorry for missing all of your work, your celebrations, your bright energies, and all the rest. i am so sorry if it seemed like i was ignoring you. you are my guiding lights, my silver linings, my touchstones. you make me want to be here. i will try to make it up to you!

I want to be online less but make sure I’m connecting more in the moments that i am here. I want to pressure myself to write less and not feel bad that I’m not engaged all the time. I want this blog to once again feel like a place that nourishes me and not sucks me dry. i want to stop feeling like shit about all of it!!!!

so. come hang out in my inbox, my dms, let me know what you've been up to. I am really sorry for missing so much. thank you for sticking around. <3

#personal #this is very long but please read it maybe? #emma rambles #I will reblog it a few times probably

Payments are made via PayPal invoices, so I'll need your PayPal email.

All prices are USD.

My wait list is just a rough estimation. The time I take on each work varies and sometimes there are cancellations, as well as other external factors, so even though I'm mostly on time, the possibility I will be a bit late or a bit earlier than expected exists.

IMPORTANT: If you change your url after getting a spot on my wait list please remember to give me a heads up so that later I can still find you!!

It's alright if you need to reschedule your comm for another time, or even just cancel it, just let me know. No cancellations once I have started working though, and no refunds.

I start working after receiving half the payment upfront.

References are appreciated but not required, and well detailed descriptions work just fine, but please try to have all information necessary for the commission ready. (References and/or descriptions for the characters appearances, facial expressions, clothes, poses; background, if any; lighting/type of coloring.)

I won't charge for tattoos of which you provide transparent pngs.

I reserve the right to refuse a commission.

I reserve the right to post my artwork and use it on my portfolio, but I'll keep a commission private if so requested.

The commissions are for personal use only.

OCs, fanart, ship art;

Suggestive themes, NSFW, and even fetish art (with only a few exceptions I highly doubt I will encounter here, but who knows);

Sketch- just the early stage of the drawing, rough forms and somewhat messy lines. May include 1 rough color for emphasis;

Lineart- clean lineart with the brush of your choice (I have 3);

Flat colors- includes lineart and simple coloring, no shadows/source of light;

Shaded- includes lineart, more detailed coloring compared to flat colors, simple lighting/one source of light;

Painting- either pieces with no lineart (regardless of type of lighting), or those which have lineart + complex lighting/two or more sources of light.

And finally, seen below are my other contact info. Most of these accounts are still empty and I honestly don't plan on leaving tumblr, after all the real "tumblr is shutting down" is the friends we made along the way yadda yadda, but seriously my heart can't take it anymore. I'll rather be safe than sorry.

WIP Wednesday and new user name!

Hi all! I'm using this wip wednesday for well, a snippet of my wip AND so I can let you guys know I'm changing my tumblr url to match my other fandom spaces! Thank you for the early tags today: @anincompletelist @kiwiana-writes @suseagull04 @itsmaybitheway @eusuntgratie

Here's a bit from the rpf that I've been working on! If it's not your thing, skip it! I'll go back to FirstPrince real soon, I promise! I just want to get this out of my system haha

With decisive steps, he heads to the bar and gets himself an Aperol Spritz. If there’s anything left in him to loosen up, that’ll do it. The first notes of a song he loves and knows too well start to play, and the soft beat is the perfect opportunity for Taylor to let himself be carried towards Nick. Yo sé que esto no volverá a pasar. Pero si volviera a pasar. Sé que sería tu debilidad. The low grave bass of the slow reggaeton makes his hips swing and when he’s right where he wants to be, he leans in, near Nick’s ear. Just audible enough, he teases, “You think you can move your hips a little better than that?” Taylor can sense the small smirk forming on the Brit’s lips, even if he can’t quite see it.  “Why don’t you show me how, then?”

Tags under the cut!

Formal Sexybeing Contest Intro Post

Greetings, citizen, and welcome to the Glove Kink Cinematic Universe Sexybeing Contest, run by our Most Glorious and Immortal Emperor, @a-green-onion (you can also call me Tooth; pronouns he/him).

What is the Glove Kink Cinematic Universe? More commonly called Lesbian Space Atrocities, or "that microgenre in contemporary queer sci-fi/fantasy, yeah you know, that one", it consists of books like Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee, the Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson, or the Murderbot books by Martha Wells (and many more--these are just my favorites).

If you don't want to see this, the tag to block is #gkcu sexybeing contest. If things get too busy I'll make a separate sideblog for it.

Authors of books being discussed are welcome to participate in any way they want.

Current Status: Nomination form is open until 3/8/2023 or sometime around then-ish.

If you want to be @-mentioned when polls open, you can put your url in the nomination form or reply to this post.

Rules:

Submit characters you personally are attracted to: sexually, romantically, sensually, affectionately, aesthetically, familially, out of a sick sense of horrified fascination, etc. Anyone whose magnetic presence generates desire for you.

Submit as many characters as you like, but one character per form, please! I know we all love a well-functioning bureaucracy.

Only characters from contemporary novels in the sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction literary movement sometimes called Lesbian Space Atrocities/Glove Kink Cinematic Universe/etc. This literary movement is nebulously defined and I reserve my right as Emperor to be arbitrary, ridiculous, and unfair in what I include and exclude. You can find some of my personal criteria in the nomination form.

No characters from the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. There are too many fans of that series and I want this to be a chill low-volume tournament.

Nominations close in a week or whenever I remember to close them.

I'll make brackets of some kind using the answers and then you can vote on them by Tumblr poll. Which characters do or don't make it into the contest will depend in part on how many nominations each character gets, so nominate characters even if you're confident someone else has already nominated them.

Corruption: This genre is all about the uses and abuses of power! As such, it is my duty as Emperor to abuse my limited power. If your favorite book doesn't quite meet my personal criteria for inclusion? If your favorite character got eliminated but it was really close you swear, maybe Tumblr glitched and counted it wrong? Something else you want from me? I'm morally flexible. Do not threaten or blackmail me; I'm pretty sure that's against Tumblr TOS and also it's not fun. Bribes are welcomed; do not spend real actual money to bribe me. Seduction is technically possible but I'm in a sexually and romantically monogamous relationship so you'll have to get creative.

Rules are subject to change whenever I feel like it.

Have fun!

Hey I think I found another donation scam, this account seems to have been made ~a day ago

Thanks for informing me! Yeah they are the same scammer as previously busted (and now recently deleted) scam blogs, I have a post about them on my blog but it's likely buried now. I'll edit this with the right tags after I post it.

If you check user @kyra45, they have a post keeping track of this particular scammer and their many url changes and remakes. This khalilhani one they made before their old one was even deleted. They were really out there preparing a new one in case tumblr sniped them. Please block and report as usual, and if you have the time, look into the reblogs for anyone you know or are friend with who might have reblogged their scam post and alert them of the scam so they don't get tricked into donating.

#donation scam #donation scam updates #weepingpersondestiny #khalilhani #androgynousfacemakermaria #greatpuppytyphoon #cutecipherah #i hope you're ok with me publishing your ask. if not pls tell me and i'll take it down #thank you again!

i've been itching to redo my blog's theme and everything, i need to change things somehow in some way

#me #i was like 'i'll wait until i figure out a new url and then i'll just change everything at once' #but ever since i had the thought of actually doing that #i'm stuck between wanting to change other things right now and not being able to think of a url yet #like for example i have my #'80'sphase - it's not just a phase' thing which doesn't make much sense actually but it's a thing #i wanted to do something like that again where it relates to the url but for something else but i don't know what so i #don't know what to change that part to either #but i want to change it #all of everything #maybe i'll just spend the day looking at things for ideas #see this is why i like to have things to be suitable forever regardless of my content #if i have to change anything i lose my whole mind over it #if i don't feel like it's 100% me #it's so difficult #but i guess even if it's something that COULD work forever i might still crave change eventually #there's probably no escape from that #i feel like i leave everything the same for too long until i start feeling like i will explode if i don't change something #both in my tumblr life and my outside-of-tumblr life #maybe changing things on tumblr is an outlet for things i can't change outside of tumblr #either way

Hi there! :D As the title says, "I absorb everything in sight" AKA I love a lot of different things and I love reblogging things I love. This is just my little scrapbook of lovely things

Can call me "Mads" or my url. I don't mind either way! :D

I'm into so many goddamn fandoms and I'll even slap-up things I just simply find pretty/interesting but probably the main ones as of now are:

Greek Mythology (Mostly Odyssey) MAJOR hyperfixation now. I am in love with Penelope

Fairy Tail

Legend of Zelda

Those are the main ones you'll find BUT like I said, search for something and you'll find it.

Avatar (both Last Airbender and Legend of Korra)

Fullmetal Alchemist

Pokemon

BTW, I get not wanting to follow me if you don't want random shit on your dashboard. You don't have to follow me to say hi and have conversations though! I'm on Tumblr to make friends, not followers!

Just don't be an asshole and we'll be fine. Assholes are: homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist, Any sort of troll, and the likes of that.

My blog will be a safe place for all and if your behaviors fall into any one of these, you make it unsafe. You need to rethink and change your behavior and become a better person, but until then, GET OUT!

I wasn't on Tumblr for years but trying to get back on it. Sometimes I'll be dumb. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My AO3 Account (currently writing an Odypen fic (first chap is up), there's 1 Odypen snippet up. 3 Nalu fics (one isn't finished 🫣someday not anytime soon)

Always feel free to say hi! :D

Even if you're shy or don't always know what to say, I like to chatter and am always open to making new friends! If I become too much or something then let me know! (or give a one word message! I'll get it! :D )

If you want to find my posts or posts I chatter in, look at #Mad rambles

If you want to find my "Tagamemnon posts" or tagamemnon posts I chatter in, look at #shot by odysseus

My writing is #Mad writes

I'm also an incredibly silly person... There's going to be silliness

[desiblr-secret-santa-exchange]

Hi and welcome to our very own Desiblr Secret Santa Exchange 2023! 🤗

If you agree to sign up to recieve a gift, you agree to make one as well. No backsies! This is give and take here! Also, you agree to comment on this because, come on! Your Santa will put their heart and soul into it. They deserve at least this much!

So, how to sign up for this?

If you are willing to participate, then send a dm or ask on this blog to sign up. It should contain the following :

1. Your tumblr url

2. A maximum 10 worded prompt for your Santa and in what form do you want. (Eg : art, playlist, short story, moodboard, collage, etc.)

3. What type of content can you create? (Eg as mentioned above)

You will hear from me twice (or maybe even more if you catch my fancy. Just kidding, it will be for if I need some clarifications from you). First, I'll confirm your sign up and second, to assign you your prompt.

What can you send in a prompt?

Most of the things are fair game. Yes, even dark prompts you want to see.

What can you NOT send in the prompt

1. NSFW. Because I don't know people willing or do make that content so let's be on the safer side.

2. A specific fandom of the famous TV shows. Again, for the same reason as above and it will be very hard to connect to that specific person who can deliver on that.

3. Incest and any kind of rape/non-con Seriously, just...hoe, don't it!

So, what's the schedule?

The sign ups and prompts are allowed to be delivered till 10th of November. Any changes in your prompts will be allowed till then.

After that, under no circumstances, signups will be allowed.

Your prompts will be delivered on 17th November.

Your works should be posted between 25th Dec to 31st December. Without fail. Or I'll start haunting you like the Duolingo owl.

Daily Journey : Day 1

This tumblr started with me just wanting to share my coding journey in November of last year.

No pressure of wanting likes, followers or anything like that. Just share in a safe place.

And I understand that now that has changed. Now I worry about the reach of my posts, I worry about people thinking I'm a failure and that I won't get things and likes.

And all this is useless in my life. I don't have to show anyone anything and I don't need to be liked, etc.

And I don't want that for myself.

So I thought about keeping my diary about this stage in my personal life private, as I already do with my emotions/days normally.

But I also think it might be cool to have that record here.

So, for now I'm here and overcoming my desire to start a tumblr from scratch (I always start something from scratch when I want to feel free). Now this idea is not so cool in my head. But I love seeing my old posts that I was thinking about giving up and now I'm in a better place.

Anyway:

Notes on the first day.

In general, I was very anxious, insecure because I don't know how to socialize with strangers who don't know what they're going to ask me. I need to know what is going to be said or know the subject to feel good. But it was nice and fun, they made it friendly.

We introduce ourselves in a fun way to get to know each other.

We learned more about project delivery and the like.

We had a 30m class where we talked about web introduction. Like mozilla, url, domain etc.

+++ I know that on tumblr the post photo dynamic is different, but I want to keep it standard. So I will follow my rules, because this is my account.

If you are reading this post, I wish you to be well, have discipline and consistency to achieve your goals.

Update notes:

As they leave the classes recorded, I went to watch it now and found a lot of doubts.

1. I paid attention on the recording (I don't pay attention live, maybe this will improve and maybe not)

2. I wrote down the questions

3. I researched each one and left some to ask in class because they want us to do this.

And now I'm feeling productive.

I didn't let it pile up, I did what had to be done and I'm ready for tonight's class.

I think I'll set the default of my posts for after rewatching the classes.

Have a great night, afternoon or morning.

weely tag wednesday

thanks for the tags @energievie @metalheadmickey @deedala !

which character from any media would you like to have as a father? jed bartlet (the west wing)

if money, laws, time, and effort were no object, what animal would you want to have? probably just a cat tbh i'm not a big animal person (i think they're neat, i just don't really have the desire to own any of them)

what is your Chinese takeout order? pork fried rice and chicken fingers

what's your favourite emoji? this one: ✨

would you rather have a library, greenhouse, or home theater in your house? a home theater. a library would be sick but i read mostly ebooks so i think a theater would get more use out of me.

what childhood tv show do you think of the most fondly? Spongebob Squarepants. me and my sister used to watch this every single night with our dad when we were little, but if we wanted to stay up and watch it we had to be all ready for bed by the time it came on

what was your tumblr like when you first joined? it was a lot of reblogs of aesthetic photographs because it was 2012 and i was 14. not long after that tho it turned into a sebastian stan fan blog which is how i got my url, and over time that slowly morphed into the multi fandom madness you see today

what clothing style do you love but don't feel compelled to replicate yourself? god i don't know, my closet is a little bit of everything because i always wanna try a new style when i see it. i honestly don't think i have an answer for this one, i really do love fashion and my style is constantly changing

if you were plopped into a fictional world, which one would you know the layout of the best? i have no idea. acotar maybe? solely because i've read those books so many times? yeah i guess i'll go with that

what is your favourite piece of art? café terrace at night

do you have a water bottle? what does it look like? i have a light blue wide mouth nalgene water bottle that is covered in stickers and has two friendship bracelets dangling from the cap strap. it's giving major camp counselor vibes.

what fanfic trope is a quiet fave? look, if i go on a quiet hunt for fics tagged aftercare every now and then, that is between me and god so shut the fuck up about it

do you carry a daily bag? what does it look like? what's the weirdest thing in it? nope. i don't have an office bag bc i wfh and on the weekends i absolutely despise carrying a purse. i have one of those phone cases with card slots on the back and it holds everything i could possibly need.

if you had to ship Mickey with another Gallagher, who would it be? sexually i think it'd have to be lip, but if i could platonically ship him with someone i think i'd pick fiona. idk i just think they'd get along better than anyone would think.

what is a fanfic trope you didn't expect to like and then very much did? friends to lovers kinda snuck up on me in my adulthood. i used to be very against it as a teen, but now that i'm grown and have actually seen the trope done well in fics and in media, it's one of my favorite tropes of all time.

Do you think s11 Mickey can still carry s11 Ian? yes 100% absolutely and anyone who says otherwise is lying. (did we all see noel's s11 body? we saw the abs right? mans was ripped in the last season even tho the writers like, never showed it, and it is my personal mission to avenge this wrongdoing) i'm kidding about the lying part but yeah, he absolutely can still carry s11 ian, being able to lift his husband is the only reason he still goes to the gym

who got custody of the killing bat when they sold the house? debbie. i think carl wanted it, but he already has a gun so he gave it to debbie instead.
