two years!! :D it’s been two years since my final curtain call and seven years since Jimlingss began! Seven years!!! Now that’s a crazy yet meaningful number!

Hello to everyone reading this message :D hopefully you remember me (it’s ok if you don’t) and for those who care, hopefully this is a treat! just a quick update on my life — I successfully completed my first year of law school and what a whirlwind it’s been.

I’ve had so many ups and downs in the past year and I honestly feel like I’ve changed a lot. like evolved from pichu to pikachu. It was my first time moving away from home, away from my parents, and making so many friends. it’s been 20% bitter and 80% sweet. overall, I feel like I’ve learnt so much about myself and became a lot more stable in who I am.

school is hard but completely manageable. luckily, I don’t think my choice was wrong. there are days I quite enjoy what I’m learning. I got 2 years left in the game. soon (hopefully) I’ll be making the big bucks $$$ and I’ll be able to fund my sugar baby dreams (except I’ll also be my own sugar mommy). Although my dating life is as stale as always with 0 movement, I’ve become close with a handful of folks that I hold dearly to my heart. guess I’m in my friendship arc hahahaha

funny enough, I actually came back to this blog out of my own volition 2 weeks ago and re-read some of my stories. I feel so nostalgic. some of my stories really slap ngl. anyway, I really miss creative writing so much. Fortunately, there’s a few extracurriculars at school that allow me to write creatively so it’s somewhat of an outlet for me. it’s not fully satisfying but it’s something!!

I regularly come back to tumblr to check messages and do plagiarism checks lol. Speaking of which, I’ll take this time to answer some messages in my inbox.

unfortunately, i don’t have any socials that anyone can follow me on. my socials are pretty private and only the people who i’m close to, I follow and vice versa. but no worries because I will always come back to this blog to do a yearly update so you’ll hear from me! I will satiate your curiosity if you’re every curious about what I’m up to!!

for anyone who ever messages me compliments to my stories and/or missing my presence, no worries, I read them all :) your messages and feedback is never lost! it’s very sweet and always warms my heart.

if you can’t reach my masterlist, it’s here lol

I’ve kind of fallen off my fic reading game so if you ask me if I know a specific fic, I won’t be much of help unfortunately ://

if my fics ever help you through hard times, then I’m super glad!!! life can undoubtably be downright terrible. life can really really suck (understatement). but I think it’s comforting to know that everyone at some point thinks the same. it’s a universal sentiment - and in that, you’re not alone.

anyway, that’s it for now! you’ll hear from me again!

I’ll be back! And I hope you will too! :>

#also more updates I guess - I did indeed travel to Japan this year!#it was a blast #in terms of the book writing process #my brain has not been operating in that way so I still am at a standstill #I actually had a dream recently that I couldn't even write a poem #hahaha my book writing dreams haven't died tho - I'LL DO IT ONE DAY #on another note - I haven't been keeping up with BTS that much #other than knowing that Jin and Hoseok have headed off to the army #which imo is a good thing cause that makes us one day closer to an ot7 album again #also Jimin's solo slaps #Like Crazy and Alone are on my playlist woooo #what bangers #I hope everyone has been doing well #I am manifesting success and money and love for everyone who reads this WOOOOOOOOOO #Jimlingss

(If you want an update on where I’ve been and the state of this blog where I answer some frequently asked questions and a bit of RP click below. If not, enjoy the pictures it will be a while before there’s more but do not worry I’m doing fine just taking a break.)

TRANSMISSION START:

Greetings and good evening, this is the Malebot Labs account PR unit operating again for it’s yearly update which will be reported in human emulation mode for convenience: *Ahem* Uh...hey? So I’ve been absolutely busy with life and a bit stressed out over the past several months, a bad mixture of life stuff and just generalized anxiety to be frank, so my production of stuff on this blog has been a bit...glacial to say the least. I’ve come to a few decisions on how to both improve my life and focus on things more. A break from a lot of stuff that takes a chunk of my time.

I’m going to take a break from here for a bit; not that anything here is bad or anything I just need to focus more on the stuff happening around me then hot robot men. Hopefully you guys understand

At the very least I should be fully operational at some time in the future! Just when things die down a bit and I can sit down and breathe a bit.

Here let me answer a few questions I’ve gotten while I’ve been working on stuff because that’ll hopefully get us all on the same page: 1. Do you have other social media or a discord account? Sorry no I don’t, I’m an odd case on that where I prefer to keep my internet footprint as small as possible. The fact I even made a tumblr blog at all is still baffling to me. If you need to contact me for whatever reason please message me here but I don’t think I’ll be responding anytime soon.

2. Can you do/make an edit of/Write a story involving ______ I don’t think I’ll be able to get to requests anytime soon. I’m real sorry.

3. Can you continue any of your stories? I probably won’t, most of the stories I write are small snippets of things going through my head making an edit or what I’m feeling that specific evening. I need to be in a specific mood to finish things. The fact that people have enjoyed them to the extent they have has surprised me for sure! Thank you all a lot for the kind words I’ve received over the years on them!

4. What do you do/where do you live/other various personal questions Sorry I prefer to keep myself anonymous online, I feel it’s safer and it allows those around me to act like I’m a machine more easily. Just think of me as everyone’s public robot/sexbot and leave it at that. Hell if you wanted to act like that I won’t stop you. If you can’t tell I’m a huge slut for being a robot and being around robots. Treat me like the machine I want to be and leave that silly human stuff to the side for the “emulation” to take care of!

5. Can we RP? I wouldn’t count on me responding anytime soon to anything here, but I want to say thank you to those that I’ve had sessions with in the past. You all have been real fun to roleplay with and I wish you all the best until we talk again! Thank you!

6. Do you exercise?/Are you a jock in real life? I need to exercise for sure! Part of my break is going to involve me going to the gym and exercising regularly when possible! As far as the other part of that goes I don’t act like a jock in real life, I don’t know anything about sports and I prefer to sit inside with a nice book or perhaps a video game if I have the time to sit down with one. I’m a nerdy guy who wears suits and is generally unremarkable.

7. What is the lore behind Malebot Labs and it’s world building? Basically nothing funnily enough, I just find robot men hot and then breaking apart even hotter. I’d say it’s a pretty shit company with all of it’s machines technical faults but there’s a market in universe for this malfunction stuff. I’d say there’s other companies and even female robots and other types of adult robotic companions out there it’s just that this blog was made when I was really into robotic men specifically so all of my feminine robot edits are largely on my own pc or just deleted. Actually a funny story I forgot that malebots was a website when I made this blog and felt extremely embarrassed when I remembered. I thought about changing the name but I never came up with anything better.

8. Are all the Malebots gay? Probably. I think robots can be whatever they want to/are programmed to be. As far as I go? I’m bisexual and I tend to swing to masculine and feminine body types about the same amount so yes the guy running the gay robot porn blog is gay.

9. What do you use to edit your pictures? I use GIMP and a lot of the selective gaussian blur tool to get that plastic look, I’d make a tutorial but that’s basically all I do besides some layers, some pngs I found online, and the perspective tool putting in a lot of work. I used to have a lot more higher quality images to work with for components but lost them on my old computer.

10. Do you speak any other languages? Sorry I only speak english. If I could just import new languages into my speech life would be so much easier!

11. Are you a robot? Of course not! That’d be crazy. That’d...be crazy. Y-You can’t really believe I-I’m a robot right? Right? I-I’m a normal h-human ma-man! Hu-ma-MAN! I-I-I’m sorry I seem to be-ERROR THIS UNIT IS EXPER- I seem to be-ERROR- I seem to b-be experiencing problems! O-ooooooh! H-Hey there ho-hot stuff do yo-you like what you see? What you see?

hello tumblr still not deceased! (hate that this account of 60% just updates like this lemme turn that around)

college has been beating me over the head with a sledgehammer and i just got dental surgery like. yesterday LMAO

turns out your jaw falling off can be bc your wisdom teeth are impacted in a horrific way! who knew!

as we approach holiday breaks and the first semester of college comes to a close i think im gonna redo this blog a bit so i can post on it more often. i ran out of shit to say quick and my brain can not be delegated to just one topic i fear.

dw i’ll still be on my dog shit but maybe more silly posting rather then creative posting yk?

ok byeeee ill update again hopefully soon and MAYBE just maybe once i redo this blog i can make posts regularly… as a treat…

(how are my beloved oomfies btw…)

#max’s doghouse #womp womp #i gotta redo the tag sys too i’m gonna be real #my mouth tastes like rotting flesh and bees

DAY 50

Very brief message because it's 3:30AM and all I want is to SLEEP.

I made the reckless decision to brutally go off antidepressants completely just so I can experience the full syptoms of whatever mental illness(es) I have so I can get a better and hopefully more accurate diagnosis and be take more seriously next time I see a psychiatrist.

Three days ago I felt EXTREMELY anxious for asbolutely no reason at all. I wanted to go to the restaurant, I went, and almost as soon as I stepped foot out of my flat, I got anxious. Over nothing. I just FELT anxious. And I was also super irritated by everything. That was the case yesterday too, and a little bit today as well, but it really is less and less.

These past two days I've been feeling super motivated and happy. I can get lots of stuff done and I want to get lots of stuff done. I believe in crazy shit like "I'm going to write a book and have it published" or "I'm going to study 3D animation" or "I'm going to become a tattoo artist". And to think 3 days ago I just thought I was going to do none of that and just work whatever job I'd be given...?

Anyway, I know this is probably very temporary and a relapse is probably going to kick in soon, hopefully in a week or two only, but it's probably more a matter of a couple of days.

I got my Heartstopper tattoo and I'm so so happy about it. I also love my tattoo artist. What I see in her is like... a 15 year older version of myself? We happen to have quite a lot in common except she is under medication that really treats her illness well and therefore she is pretty stable and enjoys her daily life, and that just gives me hope for my own future.

Anyway, I'll try to keep this blog updated more regularly, especially because I wanna keep track of how my mental state evolves, especially since I've had a hard time focusing and remembering anything lately, and also because whenever I feel bad I get sort of "black outs" and forget :')

See you soon hopefully

Update:

I posted the first part at around 3/4AM so in order to update I must do it on the same post.

Around 2AM I felt peaceful and like I was about to fall asleep but I made the very stupid decision to reply to my grandma's messages knowing it was going to take me 2 hours. So at around 4/5AM, when I finally could go to bed, I felt super anxious, I felt like someone was in the room watching like lowkey paranoid. I think I even woke up in the middle of the night hearing someone's breath but honestly it was probably just mine obviously. I think I fell back asleep and woke up again a little before 12PM.

Then I knew I really had to finish preparing my trip to England which is just under two weeks away from now but it made me so fucking anxious. I still managed and ended up taking a lot of pleasure in it! I was pretty much laughing hysterically at everything.

Then I got up to get prepared because I'm getting my 2nd booster against Covid, which I was totally chill about until I left the house and almost had a full blown crisis with tears and anxiety, which I've been trying to fight for the past hour. It's only 10 mins til my appointment. I'm not scared of the shot in itself, I'm just too unstable. I'm not even sure the vaccine in itself is the real cause of my mental anguish, I think it's mostly because I promised myself after this shot I would stop wearing my mask, which should be liberating but instead makes me feel miserable.

We're the 21st of April and it's day 3 (I think) with no medication at all. I refrain from taking anything, not even a bit of medication against anxiety.

At some point I tried to remember what I did yesterday and just couldn't for about a minute. I still feel dizzy when I walk most of the time. When I say or think about the words "death" I just wanna cry. I wish I could die to end the suffering right as I'm writing this but when I think of dying I just get traumatizing flashbacks from my dad's death.

I'm trying to sit down somewhere and collect myself because I really must not cry in front of some poor strangers working at the pharmacy. They haven't done anything to deserve to see me like this.

I am so in pain right now. I wish a doctor would listen and try to help.

Some updates:

I've been neglecting this art blog for far too long, but i plan to start posting regularly again! One of the main reasons for that is i really want to open a redbubble shop soon, but i can't do that without having posted new art in a while. And i also really just want to get back into art in general, because drawing really helps me unwind and relax <3

Here's some of the things you can find on this blog (not an exhaustive list)

Fandoms:

Kotlc (keeper of the lost cities)

Atla (avatar the last airbender)

Percy Jackson

And hopefully some original stuff too! I like fun whimsical things so i hope to draw lots of fun things too.

Hello!

I am making this post to share the little bit of progress I finally had with my fics as well as a quick mention I edited a small bit my pages!

The edits are nothing too major, but its always nice to check my pages again (or for the first time if you haven’t)~!

As for my fics, it is only a little bit of progress but hopefully one that means some form of update soon-ish.

I decided weeks ago to make a bonus chapter for my two on-going MDZS fics where I will share polished version of my plot ideas notes. I am still very much going to write for them and still consider them my main focus!

However, the only reason I didn’t do this bonus when I put in hiatus or “closed” other fics of mine is that I had hopes to continue updating semi regularly and wouldn’t need it. But now that time passed, I want my readers to have the option to know the ideas I am working with, and decide for themselves if they want to continue waiting for “proper” chapters, or if the bonus is enough for them to have “closure”.

I know there are many patients readers and a general understanding many fics are slow to updates, and I am very grateful for that!

So this bonus is a gift to everyone who is curious to know my ideas (which can evolve as I write, but still give a solid outlook of where I’m going!), and a way to make sure everyone is able to know how to story is meant to continue!

I just need to polish the bonus for No one else but you, read over both bonus to make sure it’s all good, and then post them. I am not entirely certain when it will be, but it will come!

And as stated before, I still consider my two MDZS fics active and my main focus! My other fics are also simply “put on pause” until I have enough written to share updates again~

Finally: don’t forget you can ask me things here, this blog IS meant to be where I speak of my fics, rambles fandom stuff, and reply to questions after all!

Rebooting the Blog

It's been four months since I published The Man Who Killed The Man Who Killed Putin (which you can read for free), and I've been really quiet over here. Sorry about that. I've also not made much progress on my second novel, the sequel to Super-Borg Dies. Lots of really good reasons for that, but it boils down to, "Life."

I've started and stopped several attempts to start writing and I'm at that point where I was with my first book, where I'm more than halfway done and the structure has come unravelled. I know where I need to go, but the road ahead has become all tangled. So today I went back to outlining. Hopefully, I'll finish the new outline tomorrow - which mostly comprises putting what I already have in an outline and figure out what's missing, or more likely, what's unnecessary.

In other restructuring news, with all the hubbub over the new Billionaire CEO of Twitter I've decided that it's time to go back to basics. I'm going to start regularly writing here on my blog and see if I can't make the social part of Tumblr (which this blog is hosted on) work for me again by cleaning up who and what tags I'm following. I also plan to restart my newsletter (for the hundredth time). You can sign up for that if you'd like. I've also been going through and unsubscribing from every email and newsletter subscription I don't read and making sure that the ones I do want to read don't get buried amidst the chaff.

I also plan to turn comments back on this blog. Not sure if anyone will use them, but I at least want people to have that option and not have to rely on the other social platforms for commentary. I may have to update my theme and other stuff, but I'll figure that out.

I promise to write more soon. Cheers.

august 31, 2021 ♡

Hey y’all!! It’s been a while, so I wanted to stop by and update y’all with my life as I, hopefully, return to posting regularly soon. Tbh, this summer has been quite something and there have been challenges that I didn’t expect would come, but all is well. As the end of it approaches, I’ve been listing some goals I’d like to accomplish in this gap year. I’ve been thinking a lot abt what I wanna pursue in the future and just finding some clarity in my life. That being said, some fun things that I’ve done are writing some short stories, watching movies with my family, reading a few quick non-fiction books, and also buying more books that I’ve had to shove in various places bcs I’ve ran out of space!

As for the present moment, I’m currently reading Circe (which is so beautiful and enlightening) and I highly recommend it. I’m also thinking of starting a personal blog where I can just write about all the things swirling around my mind on a daily basis, but I guess we’ll see if I continue on with that. I’ve got lots of fun ideas to pursue during this year, but once again, we shall see if I get through them or change my mind. I’m also gradually returning to Italian bcs I’ve taken a bit of a break with formal learning. I’m even more enamored with it though, so I guess it’s true that absence makes the heart go fonder. I’m trying to come up with a daily routine as well.

Honestly, there’s a lot to think about and a lot to do, but nevertheless, I do know that this gap year will ultimately be for focusing on personal growth and also accepting the reality that I’m an adult now. It’s terrifying, but we’ll make it through. Anyways, I hope this summer has been kind to all of you and I’m sending all my love and warm vibes to y’all as we enter the ever so lovely autumn season!! 🤍✨

🎧: buongiorno italia - emanuele aloia

I think I'll go on hiatus

With work and personal life, I can't find enough energy to spend on other people's wips. I want to dedicate my time to improving my drawing and coding skills and, hopefully soon, I'll restart my visual novel. I'm also reediting my book in Serbian, which I can't post here.

I'm sorry if I'm being selfish, but right now, tumblr doesn't give me the pleasure I used to experience. I only feel it as obligation to check the activity on my profile. I don't feel like I'm interacting, it's like I'm just doing my homework

Don't get me wrong - I still think that tumblr is the best platform out there and that writeblr community is one of the kindest there is! But right now, I need to place myself and my craft first.

The only blog I'll try to update regularly is @howl-of-the-blood as soon as I start working on my visual novel again.

You can find me far more active on @/KainaBlue on Twitter but it's NSF*W and on @/BlueKaina_legit which is my SFW Twitter dedicated to Slavic culture, art, books and my visual novel.

I'm trying to put things on queue but at some point it might run dry.

I will still check tumblr regularly (and I still have the app on my phone), but I will use it to just scroll and consume. Feel free to DM me if you want to get in touch with me.

I apologize to all people that have me on their taglists - I won't be able to interact with you for the time being. I might sound silly, but I am emotionally invested with this community and your work. That's why I need to make some distance.

Love ya!

Kat 💙

about

hello mtv and welcome to my crib 👋😊 i finally made an intro post! woohoo

this pinned post will serve as a site map/FAQ, so hopefully it can answer some basic questions about how i operate here on this blog - my askbox is open, so if you can’t find your answer/info here, shoot me a message! turnaround time varies a bit depending on your specific ask, but i try to get to asks within 2-3 weeks at most

OVERVIEW OF PAGES

home page

all bookmarks (and the AO3 equivalent)

a list of my major compilation posts

tags page (not fully updated, but you get an idea of my formatting)

get a random rec (based on tumblr’s /random algorithm, though i have my suspicions)

FAQ

Do you take rec suggestions? absolutely yes! self recs included

Can you help me find a fic? yes again! i’ll do my best, and if i can’t find it i’ll release the ask into the wild and usually the combined power of fandom can figure something out

I’m feeling some type of way - any recs? these posts usually take me a while, so if you want something fast / within a few days, i encourage you to specify a range in your ask! just be like “hey u got 3-5 fics of hurt/comfort?” and i’ll shoot back a “hell yeah buddy i gotchu” as soon as possible. in the meantime, check out the (much more extensive) tags pages of other fic rec blogs, or my compilation posts!

How do you organize your AO3 tags? i described it here!

How does the Wayback Machine work? i described it here!

You have a broken link/post/typo. Should I point it out? yes!! please!!! sometimes i make my posts late at night and forget a word, miss a tag, or just straight up copy-paste the wrong link (oops) - i won’t be hurt or offended if you correct me, i’ll just be a tad embarrassed hahaha

Who are you and why are you doing this??? hi i’m irena! and this rec blog was born out of my desire to organize my frankly-unmanageable amount of bookmarks - feel free to follow my main @scaredy-cot, but word of warning: it’s kind of a mess over there 😂😎🔥

COMMON TAGS

fic recs - my rec posts

friend recs - rec suggestions from y’all!

fic hunting - searching for a fic? divided into resolved and unresolved asks

my commentary - other asks

for my recs themselves, i split between #ao3 for recs from AO3, for the untamed or mdzs; and #not ao3 for recs not from AO3, which can be further divided into following categories:

ficlet

tumblr multichapter (tumblr series)

bullet points

fic via tags

prompts / headcanon

comics

twitter thread

relationship and author tags can be found on my tags page, though it’s no longer being regularly updated; basic format is “a:[author]” and “r:[relationship]”, if you want to do your own search here. also, i don’t typically tag my rec posts with further tags on genre, AU, etc. -- AO3 has a good search/filter system, so i’ll slip to that if i need to find particular works!

------------------------------------------------------------------

plotting etiquette : a players guide

[ coming soon / an admins guide ]

plotting is an essential part to writing together; whether you’re in a group, an indie blog or even a 1x1, you need to be able to communicate with your peers in order to build a story. and that’s why we’re all here, right? to create worlds, no matter what the context, and most importantly, to do this with others. roleplaying is a team effort - no matter what universe you’re writing in. below the cut are some helpful tips, tricks and advice to remember when attempting to plot with others. if you’ve found this guide useful, please like and/or reblog to spread the word - and hopefully help out others along the way. ***a part two will be out next week for admins on how to promote and help your group with plotting.

i. ‘i’m scared of bothering people!’

this is a statement i’ve seen the most often around the rpc - whether it’s from a various text post people reblog, or as an admin who’s been on the receiving end of messages like this.

it’s important to remember that most of us get a little nervous about reaching out. while writing original pieces or fanfiction can give you some distance between the creating portion and the feedback process, there’s no real space for roleplaying. it’s an instantaneous thing - we put our words out there on the screen, and someone else has to reply to that in some capacity.

whether you’re an extrovert, an introvert or something in between, this can often be the beginning of the end for a lot of roleplayers. maybe you’ve joined an established group, and it seems like everyone has set dynamics and you don’t want to shake things up. or maybe you’re an indie blog, but you’re too scared to talk to someone you’ve idolized and want to write with.

the thing is, you can’t expect people to know what you want if you can’t verbalize it yourself. let them know you’re a little nervous ! chances are, they are too. we’re all on this platform trying to do the same thing, and everyone gets nervous about exposing themselves to strangers now and again. ultimately, we put a little piece of ourselves in every character we create, and that can be terrifying to show to people and expect them to accept. but a little effort goes a long way - making the first move can often help build a bridge to someone you might not have otherwise gotten the chance to write with. you’re going to have to take a risk sometimes. while not everyone is going to be receptive, most people will be. and chances are, if you start with something as simple as “hi, i’d love the chance to write / plot with you,” you’ll be met with an extraordinarily excited new partner. understand that if they don’t, it’s not a bad thing ! some writing styles don’t mesh together, some people have a harder time talking freely than others, and so many of us regularly forget to reply to a message. know that if you’ve put yourself out there, that’s a huge step in the right direction, no matter what comes of it, and next time it’ll be even easier.

ii. come prepared.

this is ultimately where a lot of players fall short. it’s one thing to say ‘let’s plot’, and another thing to do it altogether. you need to have some sort of jumping off point.

some ideas include:

a prompt / plot idea.

this is especially important if it’s a new person you’re trying to interact with. it’s difficult to come up with things on the spot, and if you’re reaching out, you need to have something to reach out with.

in a group you’ll want to take the time to read their biography / about / wanted connections if they have them listed. it’s a quick way to ensure you have a basis of what they want, and how you and your characters can then fill those needs.

as an indie / 1x1 see if they have any ‘wanted plots’ or ‘prompts’ tags. check out their ask memes tags. ensure you’ve read their guidelines on both of these, and follow them. while most people have similar rules, you can’t know that for sure unless you’ve read through them.

questions about their character(s).

everyone adores talking about their own characters - give them an opportunity to let them tell you about theirs! even if they’re playing a canon character, they’ll have their own take on them, with headcanons and quirks and hobbies that might not show up in the specific canon the character comes from.

use ask memes if you need help coming up with questions - ask memes are extraordinarily helpful when it comes to fleshing out muses for developmental purposes as it is, and while they’re usually made for general tumblr interaction, they can be a great jumping off point for talking specifics.

don’t be afraid to point out things in their bio / about / etc. this shows that you’ve gone through and read their pages, which shows that you care about them as a person and a character, and not merely another faceclaim.

talk about your character(s).

it’s always good, especially in a group, to have a small statement of facts about your character. in business, this is called an ‘elevator pitch’ - a few concise sentences that can get someone else interested.

for example, merrick wood is a former cheerleader who would do absolutely anything for her sister, holly, has no real ambitions and loves the weird and supernatural. you can find her swimming, or listening to mix cd’s she makes for her own amusement, or even on the hunt for big foot. this now gives the other player a few things to pick through - what kind of music is she listening to? why is her sister so important to her? is cheerleading still important enough for her to mention it to someone?

iii. plotting is a two way street.

the above two points work on the basis that you’ve made the first move - but say you’re the one who’s gotten the message of someone eager to plot with you ! takes a little stress off of your plate, but adds to their own. no matter what, remember that there is a real person on the other side of the screen. be kind, and treat them how you’d want to be treated - even if you’re not interested in writing with them, let them know ! a simple thanks for the message! i’m honored you’re interested in my characters, but at the moment i don’t think we’d be a good fit is enough of a response that most people should leave it at that. if you get a message saying they’re not interested, simply say ‘thank you for replying!’ and move on. as stated above, not everyone will always click - respect people’s boundaries, and understand that you’ll find a new partner in due time.

responding to plotting messages is as important as creating them; if someone says they want to plot and gives you ideas, play off of them. don’t simply say ‘okay!’ or ‘cool!’ - a habit a lot of people have had over the years.

example. if jenny says “i think it would be great if robert could surprise them with flowers,” reply wth “oh how cute!!!” and end there - expand on it, adding your own input - “that’s so cute! denise adores lilacs, and would be flustered to get them from someone she admires so much!” the latter sentence gives your partner something to respond to, something to work with, and may just end up being in the thread you write together!

iv. don’t make your admins do all the work.

this section is primarily for group roleplayers.

your admin(s) already do so much. behind the scenes, there’s constantly updating the main pages, queueing ads, coming up with tasks and events and plot drops to keep players entertained and happy. at the same time, they’re trying to play in the group with you - create their own stories, write their own characters. they should not have to spoon feed you plots. these are things you need to develop on your own and with fellow players.

example. in a town rp, and you have a social butterfly character ? throw a birthday party for a character, giving the other characters something to participate in without an official Admin Sponsored Event. you should of course ensure the admin is okay with you having ‘events’ like the above for various players, and you need to ensure you’re inclusive in them - don’t ‘throw a party’ and not invite half the group because you don’t want to plot with them. take the time to message players of characters who might not normally show up and figure out something else with them, or a reason why they would be there or even why they wouldn’t!

v. stop bubbling.

at the end of the day, plotting together is the best way to stop bubbling from happening in your group. no one wants to be the player left out of everything - make sure to try and reach out to the others, especially if you think other players may be ignoring them. writing together - in a group, on an indie, anywhere really - is supposed to be fun and challenging and a different experience every time. before you go to your admins about being left out / ignored, ask yourself if you’ve done the above. have you messaged other players ? asked them about their characters, and given ideas of potential prompts for the two of you to write ? if you have, and you’re still getting ignored, then absolutely talk to your admin team! but try and be proactive instead of reactive and you’d be amazed at how far you can go.

hopefully this guide will help you - remember, your roleplay experience is ultimately cultivated by yourself. you choose which groups to apply to, which characters to bring, and your attitudes and behaviors can affect your gameplay. being in a group, specifically, is about being a part of a team. become a team player, and you and your characters can find the roleplay family of your dreams ♡

Hello! Thank you for all the rec lists you make. I have a question, if you don't mind. Since you said the Card Catalog is not updated regularly, may I ask if you have a specific tag for all your rec lists? And is it in the first 5 tags you use for those posts? (Because if the tag is farther, it seems not working when I click that tag.)

I try your tag #drarry: the 'Secret Relationship' list is not there try #drarry-rec-list: 'Soulmate' is not there try #the-drarry-librarian: 'Spy! Draco' is not there

Thank you for your time!

Hello! Thank you for contacting the Help Desk! I hear you have a question!

First of all, I really appreciate you letting me know that the tags don't pull up if they are further down. I'll be sure to start putting the list name in the first five tags from now on.

I will also add "drarry fanfic rec list" and "rec list" in the first five tags too. So hopefully you'll be able to always search for those two tags and find only rec lists on the blog.

I know you didn't ask, but I am hoping to have the Card Catalog updated soon. In the meantime, I still recommend my AO3 Collections. I bookmark all the fics I rec and put them into a collection with the rec list's name. You can search through if you wish - they are in alphabetical order on there - or you can use the tag filters to find what you're looking for. I tag each bookmark with the list's name along with any variations I can think of on how it might be typed if being searched.

Sorry I don't have a better solution for you in the meantime, but again, I really appreciate you letting me know about the tagging issue.

❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Fic Finding! ❤️

introduction

about me

hello! i go by nyx, and this is a blog i created to document my shifting journey! i first learned about shifting in early 2021 but have only been seriously attempting since the beginning of december 2021! i haven’t gotten to my dr quite yet, but i’ve been close a few times and i’m not giving up anytime soon. feel free to send any asks about my journey / experiences but if you want tips on how to shift or what it’s like i’d recommend asking an experienced shifter rather than me!

my dr

i have a couple drs that i’ve been developing for a little while, but for now i’m focused on one main one. i aim to shift to a dr where i am a twitch streamer / youtuber / content creator (specifically a minecraft cc!) since it’s been a dream of mine since i was little but i’ve never had the time or money to start. in my dr, i live in the uk and am friends with many other popular content creators, and am spending my teenage years having fun, making content, and studying film!

(i also have a percy jackson and a hogwarts dr, but then again who doesn’t)

my journey

i will try to update regularly on my journey, hopefully daily or as close to daily as i can manage! i’ll tag any journal entries with #my shifting journey

miscellaneous

don’t bother sending hate, as i will simply block and ignore you :] happy shifting!

I'm back!

As the title says - I'm ending my hiatus! I really needed that break, but it also feels good to officially be back. :) I'm a little stressed too, I have to admit, since I haven't written much lately, but let's hope I'll be in the right tracks fully soon.

Before we go on with our days, there are some updates about the blog.

First of all, together with me coming back to writing goes the thing that I know some of you were waiting for: requests are open again! Here are the rules for requesting: please read them carefully before you send anything and remember to check them out regularly too, since some small things like types of works I take requests for or number of requests you can send at once might change from time to time.

I have some works to post before I get some requests and then write/make and publish them, just to get this blog moving again. I hope to post even more as the time goes by.

As my rules post says, I now take requests for all types of works, including ficlets and oneshots, which I promised long ago. I don't want to get overwhelmed too quickly though and those are the longest types, that's why - as much as I take unlimited requests for all other types with the fact they're open being the only limitation - I'll only accept a limited number of requests for ficlets and oneshots. For now I'm thinking 5 requests each, give or take a couple depending on how many I'll see when I log here again.

Second of all, there were some changes to my fandom list.

The main change is a couple of fandoms that joined the list (which for now are A Series of Unfortunate Events, Alice in Wonderland, Back to the Future and Gotham). Hopefully I'll be able to add some more soon.

Since I'm still catching up/planning to catch up with some things, I might be making some changes soon without necessarily notifying about it, like updating the numbers of seasons I've seen for shows etc. I'll probably remember about making a post concerning upcoming changes, especially big ones like new or deleted fandoms, but if there's anything you want to see on the list and you can't wait for the post, please check it out soon.

A cosmetic change I decided to make is now merging current fandoms and current fandoms with no posts, since it used to confuse people (current fandoms with no posts and possible future fandoms were tricky) and also will make it a bit easier for me to handle the list.

What's also important about the fandom list, now every fandom where it's possible/applicable has a note about what I can and will base my writings on, so books/seasons/movies I've read/watched from the fandom (even if it means everything that there is for it) or which version of the given work I have in mind (if the movie was remade or is an adaptation but I have only seen one version or haven't read the source material or feel like I know only one version best)... things like that. Anyway, the thing that's put there is always the thing I feel most confident about, so hopefully it's clear what characters and contexts I can write for. I will change those as often as needed to keep you up to date.

I'm doing my best to update or at least review both the rules and the fandom list regularly, I have also gone over this post a couple of times, so I really hope everything is clear for now. But if there's anything you feel you need to make sure about, please don't hesitate to send me an ask or reach out via chat.

Thank you for waiting for me this whole time and reading through the post. Despite the stress, it genuinely feels good to be back, and I'm so excited! I can't wait to go back to regular writing and see what ideas you have for me. :)

I think it is time to say Goodbye.

Hello! Mod here, Tataia. I’ve come to make an announcement about the-space-lady and edgy-frenchman.

From this day on, I will not be updating these blogs anymore. I will be closing the inbox and delete all unanswered asks.

Don’t worry! They will still be up, you can come back to look through everything as many times as you’d like, but don’t expect any new posts in either blogs.

Now, we all know already that these blogs have been on an never ending hiatus, and it showed no signs of updating regularly like back in the day. So, let’s have a little (okay, kind of long) chat, about how this blog came to life, and how I am happy and thankful with everything that came from it.

Feel free to not read this at all, because it is kind of a long read.

If you have any questions, please send an ask to my main blog, @tataiafurquim, and follow my twitter where I’m the most active, also going by the same username.

Three years ago, 2017, for the first time in the Brawlhalla history, there was a new legend leak! It was a picture taken with a phone of a monitor screen which showed the character selection screen in Brawlhalla, of the next legend in the default pose (the one that every legend has before getting their signature poses once they’re released); that was the first time everyone saw Artemis. BMG didn’t even announce her on dev streams by that point. The picture was shared in the r/Brawlhalla discord server, and, Calamari-Pop herself had tagged me to see it in one of the text channels, saying, ‘look! female Orion!’. Since I started playing the game, I’ve always been an Orion main, and once I saw Artemis for the first time, I felt like it was love at first sight.

I was instantly hyped for the character, while most people were complaining that ‘BMG had run out of ideas for new legends’, I couldn’t wait for her release, she was so beautiful, I never felt so hyped for something like I did for Artemis. I was probably the first person to make fanart for her and post it on r/Brawlhalla. People’s opinions on Artemis were very 50/50. People didn’t like her because ‘it’s just female Orion’, others genuinely liked her, and were excited to play with the next scythe legend.

I didn’t have many friends at the time who were into Brawlhalla, so for me the hype was kept mainly to myself, and of course, through my art. The picture we had of Artemis was very poor quality, so a lot of early art was missing a lot of details, but I didn’t care; I just kept drawing the only thing that was bringing me happiness.

I was a 14 year old when all of this happened, school was being very rough on me, back in the day I used to struggle so much to study, it was a pain to focus and learn, I’d always give up and go back to video games and art. My grades were horrible, I felt like my personal friendships were kind of faling apart, and so with my family. The only light at the end of the tunnel I had at the time, was the idea of making an ask blog for Artemis.

At first, I was skeptical. What if it flops? The Brawlhalla community wasn’t very active in other social medias, it was small, but everyone was close and if something big was announced, the word would spread fast. I mean, it was worth a short. Worse comes to worse, I delete the blog and move on. Ask blogs weren’t as popular as they were either.

I had claimed the URL even before Artemis was announced in a dev stream, so the blog was ready to go. I remember waiting a little more than a month when the patch of her release was finally online, and I did my move of announcing the blog in every social media I could, and so I waited for the community to show up.

And they didn’t stop coming! It was ask after ask, I was so happy, this little blog was my escape from the real world. Answering people as Artemis was honestly the most fun I was having during that year. And I could also draw her as much as I’d like! The blog was growing, and so was my audience of people who was genuinely following me for my regular art. Even when I was grounded because I did bad on a test, I still answered people with drawings made on paper.

Needless to say, this blog was definitely, a start for me in the Brawlhalla community. “Are you the person who draws a lot of Artemis?” “Yep! That’s me!” It was great, I felt like I was finally becoming someone somewhat important in a community like I always wished to, drawing what I loved, and people loved it. I even met my soon-to-be boyfriend through it!

But of course, that didn’t stop what was happening outside of the computer screen. Things were going even more downhill the more I focused on the internet and forgot about real life. It was helpless; there was no way I was passing that school year, I’d have to repeat it. My parents had decided that maybe one of the issues was that, my old school, was one of those schools that go really hard on the students, and that was not my place. So, the next year, 2018, I changed schools for the first time.

I’ve always had really bad anxiety. On the first day in the new school, you know what I did? I drew Artemis. What a surprise to nobody, but for me, this was my moment of realization, that this space lady from a fighting game, was my comfort character. This possibly canonically evil woman who wants to kill my main because of some fucked up shit he did in the past, was my comfort character. I was depressed? I drew Artemis. I was happy? I drew Artemis. I was extremely pissed off?? You guessed it! I drew Artemis! It is likely that a lot of pieces I made of her that I’ve posted online, were created from strong emotions I had while I drew it. There’s a lot that I didn’t even post either.

In 2018 I was still updating the blog, but I was also focusing a lot more on school. I was managing to get good grades, I made new friends, had new experiences, and my relationship with my family was getting better. Of course every year has its ups and downs, but overall, the important part, was finally being taken care of; I passed the school year, and then I passed again, and I passed again! I have just one more year to go, and hopefully, in 2021 I’ll be done.

Setting that aside, as the blog grew, my audience online did so too. My art improved, I’ve become, for the lack of a better word, an important member in the community. A lot of people have seen my art, and some of them probably don’t even follow me!

Today, I am a Brawlhalla Partner, I have a wonderful boyfriend, incredible friends, an amazing relationship with my family, and I am now hoping for a bright future of work ahead of me, and it was all thanks to this ask blog of a fictional character who I deeply loved. I would have never made it where I am today without Artemis, without Brawlhalla, without all of you. I could ever be thankful, and all I can give you all is more fanart of this amazing game that has completely changed my life, and with how Brawlhalla has been growing? Keep an eye on this one, it’s gonna get big.

Thank you so much everyone who has supported me over the years, and followed me more than just Artemis content. The updates on the blog have stopped because I’ve been focusing on other things. trying out new stuff and focusing on myself to become a better person and artist, creating my own stories with original characters, which I’m excited to share with all of you.

Anyway, take care, whoever read this far <3 Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone.
