@rickestrickofall liked x for a starter!

"give me anything strong," he spoke to the bartender as he sat down at the bar, it had been a long night at the shooting range and rook could still hear the ringing in his ears. maybe this place could drown out all of that with the loud club music in the background. once given his drink--to which he noticed the color to be teal, he began to nurse it, unaware of the guest who took a seat next to him.
"Where's the rest of the village people? Zing." A deadpan expression catered to Rick's features immediately, as empty of a victory as the finger pistol that was now being holstered as he folded his arms over the bartop. Not his best work, but he wasn't going to waste the good stuff on a Rick cop. Did someone say 'identity crisis?' No, thanks. Not what he was here for, anyways.
"Hey, bartender, put me in an order of a totally not ripped-off 'bloom and onion.' Extra dingo sauce."

You have heard many stories about having a baby—many good, some not. However,  despite all that, you've been living on a blue cloud since your little boy, Joseph, was born a just over three months ago. Ever since he came into your life, he has brightened every second, and seeing the expressions softening on your husband's face is priceless. Every time he steps through your front door, you can see him visibly relax at the sight of his precious son, which warms your heart.
Robert has been under quite a bit of stress lately due to his busier-than-normal work schedule, but he will always make time for you two, for which you'll always be grateful. Family has always been very important to Robert, and since your son was born, he's been trying to be home more and more, much to your delight.
Right now, you're sitting on the couch breastfeeding Joseph—or Joe, for short—while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, one of your favorite movies to watch all year round. While Joe happily suckles away, you hear Robert's keys turn the lock on the front door, notifying you that your husband is home again.
"Daddy's home, Bubba. Are you excited to see him again?" you ask Joe. He smiles with your nipple still in his mouth, which makes your heart melt a little bit.
"Oh, look at the two of you! Are my two favorite people having fun on the couch together without me?!" Robert asks with faux surprise, and it makes you chuckle. You look at him with a love-filled look, and he gives one in return as he sits beside you.
Before you got pregnant, you two were already very close and very in love, but your love has only increased tenfold since the birth of your son. He leans in to give you a soft peck on your lips, and the small gesture makes you feel very loved.
"We are. He got hungry a little sooner than usual, so I figured I'd feed him now so he wouldn't have to wait too long. How was your day today?" you ask with a soft smile, but his soft expression gives way to one filled with worry.
"I have to go to New York for two weeks tomorrow. I tried to get out of it, but sadly, I cannot, for which I'm very sorry, Gorgeous," Robert sighs, his brows knitted together as he looks at you with a regret-filled expression.
"Hey, it's okay. Maybe we can join you in the second week. I have to finish my manuscript for my new book this week, but once I send it to my editor, I have all the time to visit you with him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing his Daddy again either," you say as you reposition him slightly to be more comfortable.
"That would be amazing, Gorgeous, but only if you're sure. If you'd rather stay home-" is all he can say before you cut him off with another kiss. You can feel him melt a little into your gesture, his shoulders losing some of the tension he held onto this entire time.
"I'm sure, Robert. I want to be by your side, and I cannot stay away from you for too long; you should know that by now," you say with a mischievous twinkle in your eyes. He lets himself be comfortable by your side while looking at his son. He looks exactly like you, from the facial features to the hair and skin color, although you both suspect he will end up with Robert’s eye color. It's abundantly clear he combines your shared love, and Robert couldn't be happier.
"He's beautiful, isn't he?" you whisper, and Robert nods softly before letting his finger glide over Joe's cheek, feeling its softness against his skin. He already looked forward to coming home to you every day, but now that you have a baby, he definitely can’t stay away anymore.
"I love you both so much," Robert whispers in turn, and you give him a soft kiss on the top of his head. All three of you stay like that until Joe is done feeding; Robert takes him out of your arms to get burped and gives him a clean diaper. You decide to take a much-needed shower and take care of yourself for a bit.
"Thank you so much for taking over; I'll go take a shower and start dinner so you can have some much-needed baby time," you tell him, and Robert nods with a big smile. He wants to soak up every second he can now that his son is still small, especially since he's often gone due to his hectic schedule.
"I'd love nothing more, Gorgeous," he tells you, and you retreat to the shower for some personal time. Taking care of a baby and finishing your manuscript for your latest book is a challenge, and even though you love doing both with all your heart, you also know you wouldn't have been able to do it without his help.
When you walk down the stairs 30 minutes later, feeling refreshed and wearing a nice set of comfortable PJs—which consist of not much more than a pair of booty shorts and one of his shirts -Robert is sitting on the couch with his knees pulled up and Joe on his lap while playing peek-a-boo. Your heart skips a beat or two at the sight of your son's laughter.
As you listen to them bonding, you start on dinner, and it doesn't take long to finish cooking, seeing how you opted for a simple pasta dish today. As you do that, Joe is starting to get sleepy, so Robert decides to put him down for a nap.
"I'll be right back, Gorgeous. He just let out the biggest yawn I've ever seen him do, so I have a feeling he might benefit from a little nap. You were also feeding him early, so I think he's just being a sleepy little boy today," you look over at your husband and son, a warmth flooding through you at the sight and a smile tugging at the corners of your mouth.
"He didn't sleep much during his afternoon nap, so I am not surprised he's this sleepy already," you say, and Robert nods in understanding. Even though Joe usually sleeps like a champ, he's having an off day today and will benefit from having another nap now.
"Sleep well, Bubba," you whisper to Joe before giving a soft peck on his cheek, to which he gives a sleepy smile in return. While Robert puts him down for his nap, you finish dinner, and both finish eating soon after. The conversation flows naturally and is light, but it's the perfect way to destress for a little while.
"What do you think of having a cuddle session on the couch? He'll be out like a light for the foreseeable future, and I have missed you way too much today," Robert says as you put the last plate away after the dishes, his chest plastered against your back.
"Depends on the kind of cuddle session you're thinking of," you say as you turn in his hold, giving him a raised brow as you look up at him. He's quite a bit taller than you are, so you have to crane your neck a little, making Robert chuckle.
"I think you know exactly what kind I'm talking about, Gorgeous," Robert says, his voice dropping slightly as he does. He leads the two of you to the couch before sitting down and pulling you with him, and you cannot suppress a little shriek that comes out.
As he gets comfortable on the couch, you move to straddle his lap, and your mouths quickly find each other in a heated, passionate kiss. His fingers are digging into your hips as he grinds you over his growing erection, and soft whimpers are swallowed in your kisses.
"Missed you so fucking much, Gorgeous, you make me so happy, and I want another baby with you," he tells you, and your eyes go wide at his confession. Did he say what you think he did? You take a short moment to let it sink in, and your bottom lip is pulled between your teeth as you do so.
"I would love nothing more, Robert; I want at least three babies with you!" you tell him, and the smile on his face is indescribable. Lust quickly seems to take over his body as he pulls you closer, your hips grinding over his clothed member again while more soft whimpers escape, leaving you needing more, needing him.
"Robert, please," you say, and he knows exactly what you want. You scoot back far enough to free his cock; the tip flushed red as a bead of pre-cum is gathered at the slit. The veins running along have your mouth watering as you desire to run your tongue over them, and your pussy clenches around nothing.
Your shorts are pulled to the side quickly, allowing you to sink onto his cock as you take it inch by inch. Your walls envelop him completely and deliciously, making both of you moan in unison.
"You're so sexy when you sit on my cock, Gorgeous," he whispers with a lopsided grin as his fingers softly squeeze your hips, and you look into his deep, dark brown eyes when you bottom out. Your lip is pulled between your teeth to suppress a groan, being mindful that you won't wake up your sleeping son.
Once you've adjusted to his cock inside you, you lift yourself before bottoming out again, setting a slow pace for the two of you to enjoy while your fingers tangle into his hair, messing it up as you catch his mouth with yours in a slow, passionate kiss.
Robert's fingers are digging into the soft flesh of your hips to ground himself, not wanting to shoot his load right away. Even though you two had a lazy session of morning sex that very same day, you two will never get enough of each other, and this moment is evidence of just that.
"G-Gorgeous, please," Robert stammers out as his gaze locks onto yours, your eyes half-lidded as the pleasure courses through your body, his plea settling into the butterflies going wild in your body.
"Please, let me fuck a baby into you. You know I love it when you ride me, but for the love of God, let me fuck a baby into you," he begs, and the words are slowly sinking in as the pleasure builds rapidly.
As soon as you give him the go-ahead, your back hits the soft fabric of the couch, and your thighs spread of their own accord to welcome him back. Before he lines up with your entrance, he teases your clit a little with the tip of his cock, making your back arch as he does.
"That's it, Gorgeous, doin' so well for me right now. 'M gonna give you all the babies you want when you're this good for me," he says as he nuzzles into your neck, the scent of your apple-scented shower gel still lingering on your skin.
He stays still for a moment after bottoming out, reveling in the pleasure of your warm, tight pussy wrapped around his cock before he starts moving slowly, taking his time before sliding back in as if he's savoring every stroke of his cock inside you. It's as if he's committing every inch of you to memory.
"So tight, so perfect, Gorgeous. I'm so lucky you want to give me all your babies. Allowing me to stuff you full with my cum until it drips out and you're pregnant," he groans as he keeps thrusting in and out of you slowly, taking his sweet time as he makes love to you.
"You're so beautiful, and I truly got lucky when I met you," he says as he looks into your eyes, and you can see his love grow with every passing second. Your arms are slung loosely around his neck, your fingers softly gripping the hair on the nape of his neck as he speeds up his thrusts every so often, the pleasure in both your bodies building quickly.
"R-Robert, 'm close," you moan softly, and he lets you know he's close too, based on the soft groans tumbling from his lips. Your legs wrap around his hips to pull him even closer - his cock hitting your sweet spot with every thrust has your eyes rolling back as the pleasure comes to a high.
"M almost there, Gorgeous, I'm close too," he pants out as he picks up the pace even more, his moans muffled by your shoulder as he cums. You both fall over the edge at the same time, and Robert takes his time to ride out both your orgasms before slipping out and pulling you on top of him on the couch.
When Robert takes a deep breath before saying something, you can hear little Joe over the baby monitor, and with a satisfied smile, you look at your husband.
"You go get cleaned up, and I'll go take care of him, okay?" you say, and he nods. You climb off of him, readjusting your shorts and shirt while he gets off the couch, carefully tucking himself away before going to get himself cleaned up, too.
"You're the best wife and mother we could have asked for, you know that? And I cannot wait to add another baby to our family to make your dreams come true," he says as he cups your cheeks and leans in to capture your lips with a sweet, soft kiss. Another flood of warmth and love swoops through your stomach.
"I love you, Robert, and I cannot wait either!" you tell him as you walk to the nursery, leaving Robert with a content smile. You're lucky to have met him, and building a life with him is the cherry on top of it all.
Tumblr media
It has been almost a year since you and Robert decided to try and conceive again, and it took about six months before you got a positive test result. A few weeks later, you discover your baby is healthy and growing rapidly. But today is the day you will find out the gender of the little Nugget growing in your belly.
"Everything is looking good,” the sonographer says. “Are you excited to find out-" she cuts off suddenly and turns completely silent, except for the whirring of machines. A sense of dread fills you, and you squeeze Robert's hand. As you look at the baby monitor, your brows knit together, trying to understand what the sonographer sees. Your heart feels like it's sinking through the floor.
"Is everything okay with the baby?" Robert is the first to speak up, and you can feel a lump forming in your throat. For a moment, you're afraid your worst nightmare is becoming reality, but the sonographers next words confirm that nothing could be further from the truth.
"Well, yes. Everything is okay with the baby, but we read the ultrasound wrong the last time because you are pregnant with twins!" she says before profusely apologizing. All this time, you were growing two babies, and one of them is quite a lot smaller, so they have been hiding. You were growing a 'secret twin' of sorts.
"Can you tell their gender?" you ask, the relief evident in your voice. Your eyes are again trained on the monitor when she tells you the fantastic news, a flutter of excitement going through your chest and stomach as the words slowly sink in.
"You'll be having two wonderful, identical baby girls!" she says, and a huge relief washes over you. With these words, every ounce of worry washes away, and you look at Robert with tears. Not only will you have two more babies with him, but to have two girls at once is truly the cherry on top.
"I can't believe we'll be having twins! And two little girls; I think Joe will be happy to have two baby sisters to play with when they're older," you tell your husband, who has a huge smile. He's thrilled now, and you're happily sitting on a large, pink cloud.
Life couldn't be more perfect if you'd tried. With Robert getting another major movie role, your new book being published in a few weeks, and two babies on the way, you're going to have a busy life, but one you're looking forward to more and more every day.
"This is better than I could have ever dreamed of, Gorgeous," Robert tells you as you walk out of the doctor's office, your fingers interlaced with his as you do. Your free hand rubs your round belly, and a smile is stretched wide on your face.
"It's everything I ever dreamed of and more. Life finally feels perfect with an amazing husband like you, a beautiful son, and two more miracles on the way. Like I am exactly where I am supposed to be," you tell him as you're standing outside the doctor's office, the rays of sun shining down on both of you.
"I almost forgot how sappy you get when you're pregnant, but by God, do I love it. I'm lucky to have an amazing wife like you," he says with a broad smile before leaning in and capturing your lips with his. The rest of your life starts here, and you're looking forward to the day you'll be bringing your daughters home because that will be the day your lifelong dream has officially come true.

a writing challenge? in 2024? you bet
Tumblr media
Hi! Hello! Hey!
I've been going through A Time and have chosen to cope by going back to the specific vibes of 2016 to 2018. That happens to include an incredible resurgence in my love for MCU fanfic, the community around it and all the love that goes into them. I've felt a bit distant from here for a while, but I still see so many of my old friends writing, ones who want to get back into it, and a whole lot of new writers I am dying to meet.
I've floated this idea vaguely on my blog and people seem to be interested so I figured it was worth a shot!
So yeah, welcome to Ari's Old School, Nostalgia Jam, Why-The-Hell-Not MCU Fic Writing Challenge 2024!
Prompts, rules and whatnot under the cut:
Requests:
If you could reblog this post to reach someone who might want to participate, I'd really appreciate it! No need to be following me, it's open for anyone.
Reader-inserts, OCs, solo character fics, character x character-- absolutely no limitations
Any and all MCU characters are allowed
Anything above 500 words should have a read-more/keep-reading tab. Series, multi-chapters, one-shots, drabbles, etc etc. The sky's the limit.
Please tag me in your fics (@shurisneakers) so I'm notified of them, and post them with the tag #arisoldschoolwritingchallenge . It may take me a while to get back to you due to the circumstances I find myself in currently, but I absolutely will. Please send me a DM if I haven't responded within 10 days.
Send me an ask with the prompt you would like. Feel free to pick up to 2 prompts
The only thing I request of you: no RPF and no dark fics. Smut is welcome, but non-con/dub-con/incest or anything along those veins is something I'd ask you not to submit for this challenge. Thank you for your understanding!
I know I've called it an MCU fic challenge as it's the community I've grown with, but if you feel like any of these prompts resonates with a character from another fandom, please go ahead and write it. This challenge really is just about the fun of writing fanfic and love for Your Little Guys

Hey I’m new to your blog! And I love your writing so so much! 🫶🏻 i saw that you don’t write dom and I was just wondering if I can request a felix fluffy/smut imagine where you’re used to felix being the confident one in the relationship when it comes to skin ship but one day you surprise him by being dominating and he gets so turned on and weak. Thank youuuu
In Denial~Teaser
Pair: Sub!Lee Felix x dom!reader
Summary: Ever since you've started dating Felix he's denied that he wants to be cared of, told you that he's more dominant. Well what happens when one day you take him by surprise and tell him that you're a dom?
Warnings: So far? just imagining pegging and a kink for titles (mommy, daddy or master)
Word Count: 600 (for the teaser)
A/N: I'm not done this one yet but figured that I'd upload a teaser, if you wanna be tagged in the finished product leave a comment or message me
It’s been so hard.
So hard because Felix is such a sweetheart. Such a sweet little innocent baby. 
The way he looks up with you, eyes wide with curiosity, how he sits on the bed and begs oh-so whiny for you to come and cuddle him.
All you’ve wanted to do for months. Ever since you’ve started dating him, ever since his cute freckled ass crash landed into your life like a nuclear bomb, turning everything upside down.
All you’ve ever wanted to do since then is rail him into the sheets. Pound into him hard until he’s crying, moaning, gripping the sheets like a lifeline, toes curling as his heart beats frantically in his chest.
But Felix isn’t like anyone else you’ve dated before.
Felix likes to think he’s in charge.
Likes to think that he’s the one shoving you face first into the sheets when he asks to be the big spoon.
He likes to think he isn’t as submissive as he really is.
And it’s not that you’d mind if he really was dominant or even the fact that he likes to take more charge right now. 
In fact, you like the feeling of him curled up around you. You like when he’s the one to grab your hand when you’re walking out in public and he takes more of the lead.
It’s nothing that you’ve been in a relationship like in a long time. You prefer people who let you take the lead, in and out of the bedroom. But you don’t mind that Felix does it. You haven’t slept together yet so that’s still wide open.
No, you don’t mind that he likes to take charge.
You do mind however, that he lies to you.
Lies to you like you haven’t listened from the next room as he masturbates in the bedroom, whining out pleas and begs for mommy, for master, for daddy, that along with your name of course.
Like he doesn’t shudder and shiver, turning a brilliant shade of pink when you whisper warnings into his ear to listen or stop.
Like you didn’t find porn on the browser history of his laptop of subby boys being punished.
You don’t mind that he’s different from your past relationships but you do mind that he’s lying and hiding things from you.
Because unlike the people you’ve dated before, he doesn’t want to admit that he likes it when you’re the big spoon or when you call him a good boy.
And so that’s what’s stopped you from playing out a scenario of shoving him face ass up onto the kitchen table when he does warmup stretches for dance. 
It’s almost as if he does it purposely even, slowly and languidly folding his body nearly in half, reaching to touch his toes while his ass sticks up in the air.
There is nothing else you want more in this very moment.
But he rolls his eyes when you call him baby boy, trying to fight the blush working up his face that works as a dead giveaway.
And he vehemently denies that he liked it when he woke up with you spooning him. Acting as if you didn’t catch him nearly purring seconds before, snuggling into your warmth deeper and letting out a soft sigh, something sounding suspiciously like mommy escaping his tired lips.
And so you’d do nothing, simply watching the way he slightly shook his butt in the air, swaying before he stood back up to his full height.
Why did he have to be so irresistible?

hey, how did you make different sections for your blog? Can't figure it out, I'd like to divide up my posts so my main page isn't messy. Thanks!
Hi Nonny! I am not entirely sure what you mean by this so I will give a bunch of general tips below. If this doesn't cover it or you want something expanded on, feel free to let me know!
Tips to keeping your blog neat & tidy!
Let me start off by saying it is your blog. Make it as messy as you want. However there are a few things you can do to make posts easier to see and read for yourself and your followers.
Tagging
Tag your posts. All of them. Have a different tag per save, story, gameplay, have one for asks, have one for reblogs. Have multiple tags! Tags galore!!! All of this will let you filter your posts to just the ones you want to see. If you tag every post with just "ts4" then you will not be able to find anything.
Example: Two of my saves have the individual tags "NSB" (for Not So Berry) and "Princess Legacy" but then I break them down even further by doing "NSB Gen 1" & "NSB Gen 2" so viewers can choose to view the project as a whole or just to search through one Gen.
Banners
This is ABSOLUTELY OPTIONAL but it makes your posts stand out from each other if you give each story/gameplay/save their own banner. It doesn't have to be extravagant. It can just be a color. Or even a pattern.
Example:
NSB
Tumblr media
Princess Legacy:
Tumblr media
You can absolutely steal the dimensions of these banners (aka save them right from this post) to create your own.
Use Your Queue
One of the easiest ways to organize your blog is to organize your queue! If you have a lot of stories or posts, try to limit when/what days you are posting them so it looks more consistent on your blog.
Example: In a perfect world where I have consistent content this is also referenced in my timezone which is PST: NSB posts go up at 6 AM every WEEKDAY - I manually schedule these Gameplay posts (whatever gameplay I am currently into as this changes) 3 times a day on the hour every weekday 11 AM-1PM - this is my normal queue set up Reblogs of others post - Weekends, 3 times a day as my normal queue is set up for
When I was doing really well with content, I would queue up 15 posts of gameplay (3 posts a day for 5 days) then go into the sims tag and throw 6 reblogged posts into my queue. Then start over again so I could queue up months in advance.
Using this method for myself makes my blog feels more structured to me. It's just for my own peace of mind and keeps me more organized.
Blog Themes
One of the best creative flex this site offers you imo. You can customize your blog theme to make it fit what you want.
There are a TON of blog themes over theme-hunter. This must be done from desktop and is only for desktop. It cannot be changed via mobile. If you check out theme-hunter, go to the top right "MORE" button. If you are looking for a main page theme, search through the "All-In-One" tag. If you are looking for a story page like i have to showcase all your stories together, I usually look through the "Family/Favorites/Characters" tag.
Now this does require a very BASE knowledge of coding, which I cannot get into in this post. It's a bit of work. Start with a simple theme until you get it down.
PRO TIP: Make a private side blog for just yourself where you can test out the themes. That way if you break the code it doesn't break your main blog. Once the code is ready on your private blog, then you can just copy/paste it onto your main!
HERE is a quick guide on how to add a tumblr theme. If you have never done it before, it's a bit of a learning curve, but honestly it's sooo satisfying once it's done.
Example: The codes for the current pages I am using can be found below: Main Theme: [X] Story Page [X]
Customizing Your Blog
Putting this all together!
Your new story pages and blog pages can include links to the specific tags you are using on your posts! It's how others can find you content so it's organized!
So let's look at this tab on my blog:
Tumblr media
This is part of my blog theme. I change it out to update whatever my blog is currently showcasing! It's part of the custom page and me going into the code to manually change it.
If you were to click any of the "Start" tabs (for the ones that have them) they would take you to the URL for the tag itself:
samssims.tumblr.com/tagged/nsb+gen+1/chrono [tumblr url] / [the word TAGGED to show you are searching the tag] / [the tag itself with + signs for spaces] / [the word CHRONO just means it will start at the beginning of the tag, useful for stories]
NOTE: These URLs only work on desktop/mobile browser. They do not work on the tumblr app.
Conclusion
And that's just a little bit about organizing your blog. But honestly it's your space. Just like your room IRL, you keep it the way you like it! This system works for me! If it helps you find your flow then I am happy to help!

update in my "i have quite literally had 50 bots follow me in the last 24 hours, 50 is the exact number" saga, may have noticed another concerning pattern
there were two new follows who i couldn't tell if they were bots or not, one was someone with a blank blog but a genuinely tumblr user seeming username, so i looked through who they were following to try and figure it out, couldn't get a read, figured i'd wait a few hours and see if anything went up on that blog
it did. that blog now looks like a tumblr user. still no posts or likes, but an icon, a description, a header image, in your general shy cutesy maybe arty internet teen vibe
so i figured, okay, probably a person
except i had someone follow me just now, which, also seemed like maybe a person, in the complete opposite spectrum, i forget their exact deal bc i blocked them with the 13 others from the last hour, but it was something to do with hey im a business person im all about business, they had a header and icon and one reblog, which was something to do with economics
but again, checked the following list, to see if i could figure it out
they were following, an identical list to the cutesy blog
so either tumblr is just recommending a random list of people to follow to new users, which includes my not really popular personal blog for some reason, or the bots have a targeted list
update: checked the following lists of some of the run of the mill bots, some are following more than those blogs, but everyone on that following list is in there somewhere
(just tagging the first few names on it, sorry random people i haven't met, but @sashahenriksen @wall-maria-around-ba-sing-se @sajwho @becomedog @citizen-zero @thevoidcannotbefilled have you guys also had trouble with bots lately?)

🐟 About & Info 🐟
Hey there! My name is Dan! I'm more than a little obsessed with DC Comics. I figured it was about high time that I made a new pinned post, so here it is.
Used to be mew-poo
Personal posts/asks tag is #Dan Says Shit
🔞 I often post some raunchy stuff, so don't follow me if you're not comfortable encountering that kind of content.
I love a lot of different characters, but my main focuses are:
Garth (Tempest): He is my sweet baby boy and I love him more than any other. He has been my favorite DC character for over 20+ years. I adore him and I refuse to stop.
Roy Harper (Arsenal): My second favorite boy ever. Currently reading through a backlog of Green Arrow comics. Also loved for 20+ years. This will never change.
Dick Grayson (Nightwing): Always liked him, but more recently became a major fan. He's just like me fr.
Slade Wilson (Deathstroke): HOT. I am a Slade apologist. If you're going to hate him, hate him accurately.
Jason Todd (Red Hood) I am also a Jason apologist. I'm not arguing with a guy with beautiful big tits. Whatever you say, gorgeous.
Tim Drake (Red Robin) He is also just like me fr. I need him more unhinged.
If you need help finding a place to read comics, message me and I'll help you!
GO READ ABOUT GARTH RIGHT NOW I AM NO LONGER ASKING 👁_👁💦🔫
Tumblr media
🐟 House Rules 🐟
🦈 Please be kind and respectful 🦈 Do not harass or shame people for their ships or the characters they like/ships they ship. Yes, I am proship. 🦈 I go by the rule of "Live and Let Live." Basically, as long as you're not harming someone by doing or liking something-- carry on! 🦈 Fiction and reality are not the same thing, and many things I enjoy in fiction are not things I condone in real life. 🦈 Feel free to ask me anything! I might take a while to answer, but I'll do my best to get around to it! I'd love to hear all of your questions, ideas, WIPs, etc! 🦈 Blog is run by queue most days.

Ok, hear me out:
Can you write a georg fic with an gn!reader? Like reader wants to leave their s/o but can’t, so they’re trapped in a one-sided relationship. So then they go to georg for help and he talks them through it, helping them figure out what to do. So then they finally are brave enough and come back to georg a few days later for comfort since their partner lashed out at them for being a “bitch” and “useless”. The first half loosely based off of ‘maybe I was boring’ by Wilbur soot.
(Only if ur comfy with writing it, I know it’s a long plot but I wanted to make sure I explained properly💕)
you did amazing explaining it dw ❤️❤️
You're not useless
Tumblr media Tumblr media
tags/ warnings: crying, reader's boyfriend being a bitch, arguing, comfort fluff.
pairing: georg x afab
do not repost, copy, translate, or post anywhere else. Use is intended only for this blog and this blog alone.
Your POV:
I'd been coming to Georg's place a lot lately. Not because I enjoyed the company of his other friends, or because I felt at home here. But because this was the only place I knew where I could feel… peaceful.
It wasn't like I didn't love my boyfriend. It was just that… sometimes, I felt like he didn't love me back. Like I was a burden to him. And every time I tried to talk to him about it, he'd brush it off or get angry. I didn't know what to do.
So here I was, once again, sitting on the floor next to Georg's bed, watching him work on some new track. His headphones were on, his hair tied up in a messy bun, and his eyes were lost in concentration. It was oddly comforting, seeing him so focused on something. It made me forget about my problems, even if just for a little while.
"Hey, Georg?" I said softly, nudging him with my elbow. "Can I talk to you about something?" He jumped a little, startled out of his trance, and removed his headphones. His brows knit together in confusion. "Yeah, of course. What's up?"
I took a deep breath and braced myself for what was to come. "Well, you know I've been feeling a bit… distant from him lately. Like I'm just… not enough for him." I paused, watching as a frown crept onto his face. "And I just can't shake this feeling that he's not happy with me. Like he's trapped, or something."
Georg listened intently, nodding along as I spoke. When I finished, he reached out and took my hand in his. His grip was warm and reassuring. "I'm sorry you feel that way, y/n. It's not fair for him to make you feel that way. You deserve so much better." He paused, searching for the right words. "But you know I'm not the best person to talk to about this. You know?" He gave me a small, sad smile.
I bit my lip, trying to fight back the tears. "I know, I know. It's just…
I've been thinking about leaving him. About finding someone who actually wants to be with me." I looked down at our intertwined hands, feeling guilty for even considering it. "But I can't bring myself to do it. I feel like I'm trapped in this one-sided relationship, and I don't know how to make it better."
Georg's expression softened, and he pulled me closer, resting his chin on top of my head. "That's a tough spot to be in. But you don't have to figure it out alone." He paused, sighing softly. "Look, I'm not the best person to give advice, but… maybe you should try talking to him. Tell him how you feel, and if that doesn't work, then… maybe it's time to consider your options."
I nodded, feeling a little bit of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Georg. You're the only one who's ever really understood." I leaned back, meeting his eyes. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
He smiled gently and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "You're not alone, y/n. I'll always be here for you, okay?"
Time passed, and I found the courage to confront my boyfriend. It didn't go well. He got defensive, and we ended up arguing even more. I left his place feeling even more alone and confused. When I got back to Georg's, I broke down in tears, feeling more lost than ever. He held me close, letting me cry myself out as we sat on his bed.
Eventually, I calmed down enough to tell him what happened. He listened patiently, not interrupting once, and when I finished, he took my hand in his again. "I'm sorry that didn't go well," he said softly. "But it's not your fault. He's the one who's been acting like a jerk. You deserve so much more."
I nodded, wiping away the last of my tears. "I know, but… I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm just this person who's not good enough for him, and I don't know how to change that." I sighed, feeling defeated. "I don't want to lose him, but I can't keep going like this."
Georg thought for a moment before responding. "You know, you don't have to decide everything right now. You can take some time to think, to figure out what you really want. And in the meantime, you can focus on you. Spend time with me, do things that make you happy. Maybe, if you're lucky, he'll see that you're not the problem, and he'll come around."
I looked up at him, hopeful. "Do you really think so?"
He smiled gently, his eyes never leaving mine. "I do. You deserve someone who sees how amazing you are, y/n. Someone who loves you for you." His voice was soft, almost reverent. "And if he can't be that person, then maybe it's time to find someone who can."
I felt a small spark of determination ignite within me. Maybe there was hope yet. Maybe I didn't have to be trapped in this one-sided relationship forever. I leaned forward and kissed Georg, grateful for his unwavering support. "Thank you," I whispered against his lips. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
We spent the rest of the night talking, laughing, and watching movies. It was the kind of night that made me feel like everything was going to be okay. And for the first time in a long time, I believed it.

Event: Can't Communicate
When a person has extreme social anxiety, they struggle to communicate with others.
Bear in mind, they only struggle to form connections. It doesn’t mean that they don’t want to.
(Before anyone asks, yes. This event is inspired by Komi Can't Communicate. I also thought it would be fun use the exact quote as a reference. Also, keep in mind that this takes place sometime after the Towa City event
As the camera turns on, Makoto was facing it with a slight smile on his face. He's gotten a bit more confident it seems.
Tumblr media
"Hey everyone. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who heled us to save our loved ones and go up against to Warriors of Hope. Things have been a lot better now that we've been reunited. The warriors themselves have since been living better lives in our care too. Best of all, we saved Towa City. With all that all being said..."
Tumblr media
"We uh... kind of need your help with something else. Recently, we found an Ultimate Despair and helped freed him from the Despair he was in."
Tumblr media
"He's... pretty nervous to show his face. I'm hoping that maybe making some new friends will help him, but... He doesn't seem too sure about it."
Cautious footsteps can be heard.
Tumblr media
"Huh? You want to introduce yourself?"
Tumblr media
"In that case, go for it! I'm sure you'll be making friends in no time."
The footsteps kept going, until eventually, a new face is revealed.
Tumblr media
"..."
Oh! Look! It's Nagito Komaeda. He looks like he wants to say something, but... isn't saying anything. Is he okay?
Tumblr media
"..."
Tumblr media
"...?"
Nagito tried looking at the camera to say hello.
Tumblr media
Oh dear. That just made him even more nervous. The other timid luckster was now shivering and whimpering. As of matter fact, this was making Makoto begin to shiver and whimper as well.
You might want to step in.
(Yes. This is a timid version of Nagito. I figured since we have a one timid luckster, why not have another.
Originally, this was going to have Makoto try to calm Nagito down, he fails, Nagito hides, Makoto feel super bad, then he hides, Makoto feel bad and hides as well and leaves the interactor(s) to try and calm them both down.
But of course, tumblr has to limit images to 10 per post. *sigh*
This is still the same hope-crazy Nagito we all know and love by the way, He's just more timid than timid!Makoto is(and he has his own backstory for it too) And yes, he is somewhat based on Komi.
I hope that you all enjoy this 200 follower special event! Anyone who isn't tagged can interact too.

Hey Cas! So I'm a queer teenage girl, but I'm homeschooled, so I have no clue if my friends would be accepting or not. There has never been an opportunity to bring up LGBTQIA+ rights, to see how they react , and I know for sure that at least one of my friends has no clue what gay people even are, because I mentioned that I could ship Sirius and Remus, and she said "Wait, but they're both dudes? And dudes cut marry each other?" But not even in a homophobic way, she was legit confused. Ive only told two people. The first is my BFF, who've I've known since I was 5 days old. She was the first person I told. I've also told my mom, and she's been super supportive, but I don't know how or when to tell my dad. He has a gay brother, but the relationship there is pretty much none (My uncle just moved away and never visits) , so I don't know how hell react. I was thinking of writing a letter, but I don't think that would work.
I'm know I'm attracted to multiple genders, because even before I knew what sexualities were, I wrote a story about two lesbian spies. I also get that happy feeling when I see queer people out in public. I have fantasized about both men and women before, so I do know I'm attracted to both men and women (And possibly non-binary people), but I don't know if that makes me Bi, or Omni, or Pan?
Oh, and I LOVE your blog. I get so exited when I see you post something, because Microfics are the perfect length for my ADHD brain to actually focus on. I hope you have a great gay!
P.S. Drink some water :)
Hi! <3
I'm so glad your mom is supportive!
For your friends, I'd try to warm them up to the idea a bit first, lol, especially since they genuinely don't know a lot. Bring up some queer ships, talk about LGBTQIA+ people in the media, that type of thing. Then ease into it.
As far as your dad, I think a letter is a great idea! It can be scary to tell someone big news like that, so getting all your thoughts down in a letter is super smart. It also gives him time to think about his reactions.
As far as your sexuality, have you researched each of those identities? They're very similar (though different in some ways as well), so it might help to look them up and really think about which one makes the most sense to you. Also remember that you're young, and you don't necessarily need to label yourself! Knowing who you're attracted to is a great start! As you get older and start dating more and more, you'll start to realize your preferences and it'll help you figure that out as well.
Let me know if you ever need to talk!
(Also I am naming all the anons who write to me in case they want to write in the future, and I am using a random positive affirmation generator to do so. So I dub thee: sincere anon. Enjoy your free tag!)
(also you made me drink water. so rude 😋)

Hey! I just discovered you and I was wondering; what are you going to do with your characters? I mean, the story you made for them is so good, and they are so pretty, will you write a book, a webcomic, or something? Again, I'm new so I don't know if you already made something ;v; nice day.
thank you so much!! i call the story 'Guardian Counselor' and it's something i've picked at since i was like 15. :- ) they've been through a lot of changes as i've grown up and they're very near and dear to me.
i tried to make a webcomic a few times, but always dropped inspiration a few pages in. this is the most recent attempt, where i figured i'd do one-off little stories each time, [ link ] and i STILL lost inspiration to make more. to "put it to paper" is where i struggle, but i think about them all the time!
i have their stories pretty much fully fledged out in my MIND, but i haven't been able to put it to something more official. my girlfriend emmy has made some animations of them which are super awesome! fulfilling my dream of seeing them in a cartoon format with the real voice-claims i have for them. you can find them and misc. art and stuff in the tag #guardian counselor on this blog! [ tag link ] and the lore and character bios on toyhou.se. [ th link ]
sorry for like 3 links! i don't give up hope that one day i'll sit down and continue their comic or do something else with them. but regardless, i'll still be doing STUFF with them. thank you again for the interest!

Rules
Hey guys, Wings (she/her or they/them) here!
The rules are basically going to be the same as my previous blogs, but if you’ve never met me here’s the rundown:
Important general rules:
I can be a very s l o w replier, and often have a tendency to drop threads. Because of some medical issues I get tired and worn-down easily. I also am a part-time student. First off, I’m very, very sorry. Please talk to me if I forget or drop something you really want to do.
Relating to the above, there are some nights where I only have the muse for certain threads, or even just memes or drabbles. Please respect that and don’t take offense that I’m not replying.
I’m painfully shy. While I refuse to use this as an excuse to avoid interacting with other people, just know that if I don’t talk to you or interact with you. This is something I'm working on improving on, but I'll admit it does help if I get hints of interest from you (even if it's just liking some of my other posts)
OOC will be tagged as ‘Out of History’’ 
IC =/= OOC; If one of my muses doesn’t like your muse please don’t assume that I don’t like you. Val can be a dick sometimes. Chances are I do, very much like you.
IMs/DMs can cause me a lot of anxiety. This doesn’t mean that you can’t send them, but please understand there are some days I just may not reply. It’s not anything you did, it just spares me some stress because otherwise I’ll hyperfocus on them and not get anything done, resulting in a sense of guilt. So please just respect that. Also please don’t IM me just because I’m online; chatting is one of the hardest things.
You may have noticed this is now a sideblog. I don't feel like I can handle blog-hopping right now, or know for certain if I'm going to be able to keep things up. If that dissuades you from interacting with me, that's perfectly understandable.
Interactions:
I do not follow back without at least a rules page, and preferably a rules and an about page. If you're new to rp and new help on where to start, I'd be happy to help.
I have the usual roleplay rules-no godmodding, ect. Usually I give a warning, but if I do please don’t take it lightly. If you aren’t sure, or you’re new to rp and keep seeing the word ‘godmod’ floating around without understanding, just come talk to me and we’ll figure things out.
I don’t have much experience with Pokémon Special, so this will primarily be a game-verse blog. That being said, I’m more than happy to do crossovers of any sort, including between fandoms. Just understand that I may not be well-versed in the world from which your character comes, so you may have to give me some details.
OCs, multi-muse blogs, gijinkas, and Pokémon are welcome. I’m not very picky about who I thread with, so long as you understand the italicized rule above.
I also rp with multiples of the same muse. I do not have a main verse.
Likewise, I will do one-liners, para, and multi-para threads, though I lean towards multi-para. Sometimes my replies will be short, so please forgive me. I’ll try to match your length. Don’t feel compelled to match mine if you can’t think of anything, but I’d appreciate a thoughtful reply that I can work with.
This is a multi-ship blog. Unless relationship conflict is discussed between all involved roleplayers and agreed upon, no muse is cheating on anyone. 
I am all for having pre-established relationships. Come talk to me if you want to do that. We can also retcon a relationship if we’ve already started something.
I do not do greeters.
Most of the time I wing interactions, but I’d be happy to plot as well. Just remember that sometimes I take awhile to reply to asks.
Open to M!As, but I maintain the right to refuse any M!A or change the duration (including ending it early if need be)
While I don’t consider myself super strict on reblog karma, if I only ever see you reblogging memes from my blogs and never sending things, I will be disheartened and less inclined to interact with you. I’m working on gently reaching out to people if I see them doing this, and the majority of the time I reblog memes from a meme source if you can’t think of anything to send me personally.
However, if I've only ever seen you reblog memes from me (usually over a decent period of time because I'm slow to notice stuff), without interacting with me. you will be soft blocked.
Content:
The mun does not claim ownership of any art unless it’s tagged ‘Wings arts’.
Mun is of age, as are most of the muses, but it’s worth double-checking. Sexy fun times may occur on 18+ muses but are unlikely, and will be put under a read more. Other NSFW topics, like gore, may appear as well.
Similarly, triggers will be tagged, including gore. I tag ending with TW (ex: violence tw). Because I’m human I occasionally miss things, so don’t be afraid to message me if I have to go back and tag things. Please tell me if there’s anything you need me to tag for you, and I’m more than happy to do so.
I’d love to rp some Pokémon battles. However, instead of just jumping into a battle, I’d rather we either discuss the battle and outcome beforehand, or use a RNG to decide what attacks hit and such (I have a system I’ve used in the past that worked wonderfully, and would be happy to share it). 
If at any point you want to ship, just let me know. I can’t promise that my muse will feel the same, but I’m willing to at least give it a try as long as there’s chemistry and you respect my other rules.
Please feel free to come talk to me OOC, even if we don’t thread. I’m a shy birdy, but I do enjoy meeting new people and making friends. Usually my ask box is the best way to reach me, but IMs/DMs are open, too.

you most definitely do not need to answer this if you're not comfortable (or just don't want to), but i saw you say you had grown somewhat resentful of the same mistakes universe and i was curious as to why. i am not personally a writer, but i have a fair amount of friends who are and i have seen similar things happen to them with stories they had put tons of time and effort into, for a variety of different reasons. i know a lot of authors struggle with not getting much interaction on fics, and i can imagine putting something out there that you are proud of and spent a lot of time on and then not hearing anything can feel super disappointing, and also a bit like just chucking your stuff into a void??? i know some other friends of mine have stopped writing because the fandom itself sucked and they were getting weird pointless hate for no reason.
I am definitely sad you've ended/taken a long break from the series, because it's clear you put a ton of time, effort, and care into the same mistakes series, and you developed a character that was deeply nuanced and unique, but also youre doing it all for free and for fun (ideally) so you don't owe anyone anything. I'm for sure rambling at this point but basically i have loved reading the series and i hope somewhere down the line you can start writing again for fun and for yourself!
hey!! i am more than happy to talk about this and the only reason I haven't until now because I wasn't sure anyone really cared and I didn't want it to be misconstrued as whining or ungratefulness. this is probably more of an answer than you were looking for but here we go...
before i came into the top gun fandom, I was very used to chucking my things into the void, as you said. some of my umbrella academy stuff got attention, but aside from a few key mutuals, there wasn't a whole lot. and I was okay with it because I was writing for me and no one else.
and then the og same mistakes trilogy caused my blog to blow up and I was very overwhelmed with the extraordinary overnight attention everything was getting. i went from nothing to so much scrutiny I didn't know what to do. I've gotten to meet and talk to wonderful people because of it, but I've also been subject to some pretty awful hate because of it too. and it never stopped. it just kept getting worse. there was a lot of pressure to deliver consistently and constantly and I felt like no matter what I wrote, I was never appeasing someone. there was always someone who didn't like it and wasn't afraid to tell me so.
ultimately i became resentful because if i never wrote same mistakes, then my blog never would've blown up and i'd never have gotten so much hate. i'd still be writing for me and not judging everything i write before it gets out onto the page. i try to remind myself that i never would've met so many amazing people but that stopped being enough after a little while. when I saw others writing amazing things and get the responses they absolutely deserved while I was being tagged in specific posts for writing things that had overused tropes, I started to wonder what I was doing wrong that I couldn't seem to appease anyone. why it wasn't good enough.
i sort of thought that if i took a step back and focused on other projects, like storm warning and flight risk, things would figure themselves out and the hate would die down and I could come back to same mistakes-verse. uhm, things didn't calm down. the hate didn't stop, as people started taking shots at these other projects (specifically flight risk) and my lack of faith in my writing started extending into my academics.
i've always been pretty proud of my academic writing, and as a historian, it's all I have. but when everyone online is telling you it's shit, and has been telling you that since June, it's hard not to view that for all of your writing. i already feel insecure in my field because I'm still new and honestly this was the last thing I needed.
so i decided to take a step back from all creative writing because it stopped being fun and it stopped being for me and I started hating everything I wrote because I knew no one would like it anyways. i hope it starts being fun again because I miss it and I want to come back to Rebel and Sunshine and Cowgirl and Carolina and all the characters that I love deeply but I don't know when or if that will happen.

#if one of billy’s villians depowered him they come back to finish him off and billy has to get out of trouble as billy or expose his secret

There had been many Champions before Billy Batson and each have left their mark on the being now known as Marvel. Each had something to give, something to share, their lives as complex and beautiful and tragic as any others.
Who are we if not a reflection of all we used to be?
Hey y'all! If you've read my story Split you know I have a lot of thoughts about Marvel and the Champions and how they worked, so this is a little taste of what is bouncing around my head for them.
This is the third of seven stories I've written for Billy Batson week 2022! Today's prompt was THE BOY AND THE MAN + “HENSHIN HERO”
I wanted to explore not just the duality of Billy and Marvel, but of Marvel and all his other hosts as well! Enjoy!

Summary:
In which Billy comes out to his teammates as transgender, attends his first Pride parade and ultimately decides it was worth the hassle
Hey y'all! Happy Pride month! Even though June is almost over, I wanted to write something for Pride. So this is a little cheesy, self indulgent one-shot of Billy getting some love and support from his teammates!
I'm also posting this for the following themes for the Pridewrite Challenge 2022: Parade (#pw8), Complicated (#pw25), Superheroes (#pw alt 28) Transmasc (#pw29)
I was going to do more stories for this challenge but June turned out to be a busy month and my fics always end up longer than I expect them to. But I'm happy to at least get something out for y'all!
This was partially inspired by all the wonderful trans Billy content I've been seeing on Tumblr recently, so thank you all for the lovely content!
I have so many queer Justice League headcannons if you want to hear them. And I'd love to hear your queer headcannons if you have them!

WAIT! there's a shazam lego movie!? what it about?
Yeah there is!
It's called Lego DC Shazam!: Magic and Monsters (2020). It was one of those direct to video releases so not a lot of people heard about it when it first came out.
It's about Shazam joining the Justice League and fighting the Monster Society of Evil! The whole League gets deaged and Shazam has to be the 'grown up'. It's really cute and wholesome with a lot of fun Easter eggs for DC fans that know the comics! And like all the DC Lego movies it pokes fun at the silly and weird things in comics. I definitely recommend it to Shazam fans!

Those short sentences of your preview got me hooked, can you tell us more of your new billy fic please?
Sure thing!
So that little preview was from an idea I've had for a while but put on the back burner while I finished a few other stories. It's a lot darker than most of my stuff. I'm calling it Pretty Little Thing.
The premise is that homeless kids are going missing around Fawcett, but no one is investigating. Billy realizes the police aren't going to help find his missing friends so he investigates on his own, and ends up putting himself in the crosshairs of the serial killer who has been abducting kids that no one is going to miss.
When the killer kidnaps him, Captain Marvel vanishes and the Justice League have to try to figure out what happened to their teammate while trying to keep the public (especially the people of Fawcett) from panicking over his disappearance. But because they don't know about Billy they hit major roadblocks in their search. They have to come to terms with the fact that they don't really know him at all. They don't know it but they are racing against the clock to save Billy from a killer that only a handful of homeless people in Fawcett even know exist.
I really wanted to explore the discrepancy between Captain Marvel and Billy, especially a homeless Billy who doesn't have anyone looking out for him. It would also deal heavily with Billy’s history of abuse and abandonment as well as his struggles as a homeless kid.
Like I said it'd be pretty heavy but it would be interesting to write. It's been ruminating in the back of my mind for months so I'm sure I'll write it at some point.

My #1 post of 2022
Billy had heard stories about the old house on Willow Creek Lane, mostly from kids at school. They said the place was haunted. That people had died there. That no one survived a night inside. Kids would dare each other to go inside, but everyone would chicken out before they did. All pretty standard stuff.
Investigating it was supposed to be simple, easy. But he quickly realized he might need some help from an expert.
Hey y'all! This is the second of seven stories I've written for Billy Batson week 2022! Today's prompt was ICONIC TEAM-UPS + DREAM TEAMS!
I've wanted to write a Billy and Constantine team up ever since I started writing fanfic, so I was so excited for this one! The fandom knows these two would be iconic together even if DC hasn't gotten the memo yet.

Hello! I have never participated in kinktober before but I have written something and was wondering how it works? I have actually never posted anything I've written before. Do I send it to you first to be approved? Do I wait and post it in October on the day? Do you reblog it once it's tagged? (Again sorry totally new to this) Thank you! Love your works!
Hello and thank you for reaching out, I'm always glad to be of help! :) Don't apologize for anything, I totally get why challenges like this one might be a bit of a headache to figure out as a novice, as there are quite a few unwritten rules surrounding them. I'll try to explain in simple terms but you're always welcome to ask additional questions in case something is still unclear! ❤
-----
-> Participating in most content creation challenges of this kind (at least on this side of tumblr, can't talk much beyond mobile otome tumblr) is actually quite subjective. For you to be considered participating in such challenge, it is often enough in your post to be mentioned something among the lines of, this work is part of x challenge.
-> Of course, this is mostly related to challenges where you're provided themes to create for, like prompt lists. I won't go into detail about what other kinds exist, but for instance, a fandom gift exchange event requires you to sign up via filling a special form regarding the details around creating a gift and receiving a gift. But to answer your question, and especially for my Visions of Temptation challenge: Do I send it to you first to be approved? - No, you don't have to do that! In order to participate, as a writer such as yourself, you simply write a fic, post it mentioning that it's written for said challenge, tag this blog, and voilà!
you might know this already, but also: by putting in the hashtags the fandom and characters of your work, you will make it easily findable for others browsing these hastags. Additionally, my challenge uses the special hashtag #visions of temptation 2022, so make sure to include that as well! :) That way we can all easily browse through the challenge creations!
Do I wait and post it in October on the day? - Preferably, yes. Following the list according to the dates is practically what makes this a challenge, so many of us will try to do that. But hey, there are no hard rules here. You won't get judged or disqualified or anything like that for not following the supposed posting dates. In fact, many entries are posted waaay later than the period of the challenge! I'm a good example, as I still have four fics to finish from last year's... 👉🏻👈🏻(and here i need to add, you don't have to be like me and try to complete all 31 days if it's more than what you can bear! Make sure not to overwhelm yourself <3 even just one work is enough too!) In the same way, creations posted earlier than the challenge dates are welcomed too! :)
Do you reblog it once it's tagged? - I do that, but not as a rule. I only do it out of my personal desire to support and appreciate participants, and I do it from my main blog @kissmetwicekissmedeadly , under #vot 22 reblogs (and usually, days and weeks after the works are posted... I'm often very busy :( ) . I leave a little comment on stuff that I like sometimes, but sometimes I'm too tired to say anything, and I can't promise that I'm gonna reblog everything too.
-----
I hope that helps! Once again, feel free to ask about whatever else you're unfamiliar with, especially considering that you haven't posted anything before. My DMs are open too, in case you feel more comfortable with that. I'd be glad to help you out in your fic-posting journey! <3 Thank you for enjoying my works, I'm thrilled to hear that and I hope that you can continue to do so in the future ❤ Have a nice day!
