I have some news to share ^^

A few days ago I had a revelation while at work.

For over 8 years I've been a big fan of the Dark Souls franchise. The first Dark Souls felt to me like a journey; a full-on immersion into an incredibly complex world, marked by disparity: old royalty, splendor, trust, hope, magic, nostalgia, wonder, gold, light... but also decay, dread, betrayal, horrors, darkness, death, monsters, disease, anguish. This game left a deep print on me that hasn't faded. Ever since I played it, fantasy changed in my eyes. Dark Souls I, II and III became a standard, a reference point. Even when I didn't draw as much as I do now, I aspired to one day pay good tribute to the games that meant so much to me! And, of course, I created fan art, but I always felt like I could have given more.

Now. As you probably know I'm also a big Star Wars fan, specifically TCW fan. And a few months ago I watched The Bad Batch for the first time. This show left a print in a very similar way as Dark Souls had before. It fueled my inspiration significantly, motivated me and, most importantly, helped me form friendships that I'm incredibly grateful for ♥. So... the other day, while I listened to some Dark Souls music at work, I thought...

Why not combine my favorite show with my favorite videogame franchise?

So that's it guys. May I present to you:

-The Bad Batch: Dark Souls AU-

That's it! That's my brilliant idea! XD This is going to be a project, a BIG one. So I would like to briefly (i promise i tried) explain how it will affect my content, under the cut: (I'll also drop some older DS artwork at the bottom!)

TLDR: From now on I will focus on TBB DS AU as my main and basically sole project . Even if you didn't play DS, that's okay! I will make it people-who-didn't-play friendly, to ensure everyone enjoys the journey. However, if this isn't for you, it's okay to unfollow <3 -I would say that, since I came to tumblr this early summer, my "signature" drawings are the TBB beach episode ones. I have WIPs for this project but I've been feeling stuck for far too long, so I am going to put it on hold. In fact, I am going to put on hold virtually everything that I was planning on doing, with a few exceptions. This means that I will rarely draw anything outside this AU.

-I am CLOSING commissions. I found that they put a kind of pressure on me that doesn't feel too good, and, honestly, I'm lucky to say that I do not need the money at the moment. I'm still open to requests, though, so don't hesitate to send anything and I'll draw it if I feel like it :) I'll even try to set up a store at some point!

-The project will consist on three journeys, featuring the 6 members of the Bad Batch, and corresponding with the three Dark Souls games. Each of those journeys will, more or less faithfully, follow the events of EACH season of TBB, adapted of course to the universe of Dark Souls, AKA Dark Medieval Fantasy. This means that, until the third season of TBB is released, I won't make any DSIII-related drawings.

-The journeys are adapted to the universe, and thus, will follow the real player journey as faithfully as I can, staying within DS canon and allowing people who have played the games to enjoy my drawings. However,

-THE DRAWINGS WILL BE 100% NON-DS-PLAYER FRIENDLY. I know that my followers are not DS fans but TBB/TCW fans. I am NOT here just to please DS fans. I want TBB fans to enjoy this journey, without having to google meanings or go easter-egg hunt to understand what is happening. I will tell a story and you will only have to enjoy it.

-This is a project for myself. Both DS and TBB mean A LOT to me, and this idea had me vibrating with excitement. I am making this project to PAY TRIBUTE to two things I love. However that does not mean that I will neglect the very people who have motivated me to keep creating. I promise to still deliver my very best with every drawing.

Do not hesitate to unfollow if this isn't for you.

I can understand that some people might follow me only for my wholesome beach episode drawings or for regular, HC TBB content. And that's okay. That's what this announcement is for! To let you know. This community has given me so much and I want to give back. And if you do stay, I can almost 100% assure you that you will enjoy what's to come!! <3 It will be a long but satisfactory journey. I'LL BE POSTING THE FIRST DRAWINGS IN THE UPCOMING DAYS!

OKAY, SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT!!! 😖 Here are some older DS drawings ^^ (jesus I have way more than I thought and these aren't even all of them)

AIGHT. NOW YOU KNOW IT'S SOME SERIOUS SHIT WHEN I SAY I LIKE THESE GAMES.

Anyway. Including a taglist, because I think it would be unfair not to let you guys know about this project in case anyone wants out (or to not be tagged). Send me a DM if that's the case, it's NO PROBLEM!!! I wouldn't want to tag someone who doesn't want this content.

ALSO PLEASE, ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, TOSS THEM TO ME! And thank you kindly for making it this far <3

I dont think the casually needs to be have " " around it. Are you saying the host was prompted to ask about F? I think it really is just dropped casually. Like a morning TV show host is meant to keep things relaxed and not serious. The producer does quick research into the artist to have a couple of talking points for the host. 1d reunion check, personal life= has son check, plus what they're there to promote= new album check. I personally think people are stressing out about this too much. It's been years and years of stunting from both of them. We were never promised an end. And if there is an end, it might be years away from now. Are we gonna dictate how they're supposed to navigate their careers and closet until it happens? At the end of the day, its their lives. But yes, if someone out there has a hard time with the stunts, they need to set boundaries or walk away to protect themselves. Not being dismissive of how someone feels.

I think there's a striking difference between people running around like headless chickens and panicking about this stunt being back versus simply not settling because what is happening with this stunt IS NOT OKAY. It's not fine.

As for your question about the interviews, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I think Louis is and will keep being asked about Freddie in interviews on purpose because they're clearly pushing the father of the year narrative after forgetting that Louis was supposed to have a kid for years. Come on, this is not our first rodeo with stunts, this is PR 101. And even if he is being asked organically, it's just because something was seeded for that to happen. No one would ask him about it if they would let the subject fall into oblivion. "His son" was in Donny, and then he was on his show, and in a hundred different places. So he has a backstory now. For what exactly is beyond me, but this is being carefully planned for many many months for this very moment, for promo season. So you're missing the point completely.

And you can bet people are stressing out too much about it because we're talking about a stunt that is ABSURD. It's been seven years of something completely unsustainable with a real child involved, who didn't ask to be in this position, he has no fucking clue what his family put him through in the name of greed. So fuck yes I'm going to be vocal about it and dictate that this should not be happening. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why Harry and Louis are still closeted and at the end of the day, I agree that this is their business, but faking a whole ass pregnancy to keep someone in the closet?? To make it to the headlines? You must be joking... this is everyone's business. And they made sure of making that pretty clear since the first day of this stunt when we watched this nightmare unfold in real-time and Louis being completely miserable about it and foreshadowing it at every single opportunity.

We've seen Louis go on pap walks for months with his fake son and fake girlfriend, while his mother was dying. And I really fucking hope we never get to witness something this cruel ever again. So although right now the shift on this stunt is inconceivable and confusing, it's not the worst we've seen. Louis looks happy and confident and for the first time on board with playing along with this stunt (for whatever reason), and I'm grateful for that. But the route they are taking is still not okay, this is not a matter of opinion, this is not how someone "chooses" to live their lives... it's absolutely ridiculous and I will not shut up about it. They went there and erased Gabi's entire blog from the internet, for fucks sake. Larries "rubs him up in the wrong way". Everyone is trying to shut us up for ages, it's always us, we're always the punching bags. So if this is too much for you, and if you feel like you need to settle boundaries, you do you, just hit the unfollow button and we're good. I don't blame people for feeling awful about this stunt and needing to focus on other things or to separate things. But my intention here is to be vocal, and keep making masterposts and making information easy for everyone who is interested to look into it. So, again, I will not shut up about it or settle until they end this.

CONTENT WARNING :

🌼 QSMP current events (3rd-4th March)

🌸 it's all my opinion and pov

🏵️ talking about violence, genocide, politics, triggers for depression and bad mental health

🍀 optimistic (even if it doesn't look like it)

🫧 non-native english speaker speaking heavy stuff in english while being sleep-deprived → incorrect, awkward, clumsy way of speaking

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

QSMP has been a light throughout the last year, when so much shit stuff is happening. I did realize before that I needed the qsmp and that it made me feel good, but I didn't realize why, and that's only now that i'm scared of losing the server that I understand. Every single day of qsmp was a day of joy for me, I loved seeing content of different nationalities, I loved so much seeing people interact and create stuff together in the most chaotic way, I loved slowly getting into the different ccs communities and I loved to recognize ids, recognize tumblers and artists. And even when in the lore it was getting dark, it was still fictional and we knew it would get better. And even in real life when some ccs were not being safe, and that communities could get violent and full of hatred, I also knew the server would survive it since there is a vast majority of priceless people who would fight for this safe, international space. And what I just realized, is that when everything is going down in the world in real life, when every day you're flooded with infos about how much humans are bullshit and destroying selfish beings with absolutely no empathy or respect for others, even with every day evidence that there is no hope of it getting better, qsmp was there to give me hope.

I believe that QSMP is a place of creation, international unity and hope. It is a safe place for people who are socially different, for people who have in.visible illnesses, for people who are discriminated against. It is a safe place for people who are incredibly creative, for people who care about life.ves, for people who spread kindness and respect. I don't care if you don't agree, this is how I feel considering who I am.

QSMP is a place of creation and bonding and building. It is a place of light and hope and art and beauty. It is a place for the best of humankind.

My english has gone very bad because I just spent the night with nightmares about the qsmp and anxiety about work and reminders of what is happening in the world and how what I make to help is never enough and how hopeless we all are. Because people who have power, right now, just don't care! I'm not sorry, when you have that much power, and are witnessing such atrocities /a fucking genocide for instance/ given that we have no excuses of resources and wealthiness (i'm speaking from an european pov), when you let this kind of shit happening, as a high-rank politic or head of business company, it's because you don't care, I don't see any kind of reason for letting this kind of things happening

I didn't plan on getting into politics so I'll stop here but the point is, QSMP cannot close down because they exploited their employees/volunteers who put that much work and because of bad administration. The issues have been addressed, and I believe will be resolved. People who don't feel safe anymore on the qsmp will leave for their wellbeing, others will stay to maintain it as the best place it can be. But in the end, I believe in the project, I support it, and I'll fight for it to keep on going under the condition of these matters to be resolved.

It is my opinion and I know a lot of people want to boycott qsmp and unfollow it, especially french people, but i personally disagree with that doing. I feel like we have the power to do something, to make it better and I'm sorry for what the qsmp team has been put through but also grateful towards Léa for her bravery and the other admins who spoke out. Because now we can do something about it, for it to be a safe place for the communities and the admins and actors.

I'm feeling less hopeless now, but please I hope some of us will stay on following and believing in the qsmp, and that we'll find a way to get through, because I don't see how it wouldn't be possible. I mean, just pay your creators/workers, communities will be glad to participate in any way possible, it is an amazing project that won't end on such a crap note.

As I was saying previously, QSMP is a place of creation, of hope for humankind and unity, and respect, and caring. Prove that we are able to overcome this by fighting together

Take care of your health, step away if needed, drink water, sleep, eat and don't blame yourself. No hatred 🌸

#i didn't plan on posting it because i was so much in a bad place at first #but it felt good to sort my thoughts out and i realized i gave some optimistic thoughts that could help some of us #qsmp #tw language #qsmp admins #discourse #tw genocide #tw politics

basically one long apology for not writing and some personal updates <3

i really want to apologize for not writing anything recently. i've really burned myself out with writing a novel this month and i think i worked myself a little too hard in october and haven't gotten back on my feet! i see all of your requests and want to do them desperately but i feel really awful and unable to write anything good enough for them so i just end up getting really frustrated and giving up. i feel like ive lost my grasp on steve and eddie a little and combined with tumult in my personal life and the wider world, i find it harder and harder to get into the headspace to write them.

that being said, i promise to get the 12 days of christmas fics out in december as i planned and then i think i'll be taking a break until the new year (or at least trying to be kinder to myself about not writing). so you will see me sporadically, and probably doing a lot more reblogging than anything else! you're all lovely for being so patient with me and i hope that's okay! if it's not, that's also fine too, feel free to unfollow me. thank you for making it this far!

additionally, i'm going to be on vacation for a week starting on tuesday so i don't know how much i'll be around! if you have recommendations for london or Edinburgh send them my way <3

throughout the next few weeks (and forever) please feel free to come chat with me, send me thoughts or just things to chat about! i am going to close requests so that i stop disappointing people by not doing them but you can always come chat to me about steve or eddie or anything you see fit.

i feel really really grateful and lucky for this little blog and for all of you and it's hard not to beat myself up for not enjoying it as much as i used to. but i hope trying to relax a little and get back to a place of enjoyment will be good for me! i know that there really isn't any need to apologize because this is my life and my blog but i really do want to properly attribute much of the joy from this summer/early fall to you all and this space. so, that's why you're reading this post.

i can promise that i will keep this blog up even if my activity wanes. i anticipate falling back into these characters at some point and i am really proud of what i've written so far for them and i don't want that to go to waste. so, regardless of my presence, this blog will always be here! <3

anyway, if you read all of that, thank you! i love you very much.

I have run out of patience with authors and I don't know whether to start attacking or understand their situation I really hate waiting I mean why are you taking requests if it takes so long? Or worse, when they don't write it at all, without notifying me, and I wait for nothing

-🌿

Okay, before i answer this,

To all my followers and readers, i want to say thank u for ur understanding this whole time for how long it takes for me to update on my fic or write ur requests. i really really appreciate ur patience n understanding. I am very grateful for u. Without u, i wont be here this far in writing.🥰 Also thank you so much for not acting or being like this 🌿 anon.

Hello 🌿 anon! Wow, I had to read this ask twice to actually believe what i just read n it's really not the right time for this because i am very moody. I am a person who usually feel bad and appologize easily. But no, not to u, not this time, anon.

First, "why are you taking requests if it takes so long?" , we take requests as our appreciations to our readers/followers, so they can feel they have a piece of them in the fic that we write. It's also another form of way for us to interact with our lovely followers. Some people have great minds /ideas to express.

It takes SO LONG for us writers to write because uh we HAVE A FREAKING LIFE?! Do u think that we have nothing to do but to sit n write? No, anon, we have a life, a job, kids or whatever in our life that we have to take care of / do every day. I have a 2.5 years old toddler who doesnt let me to go to the bathroom in peace, for crying out loud!

Also, just in case u r not smart enough to realize, writing is NOT easy! It takes a whole damn process to write even a simple fic. So yeah, it takes time.

Second, "or worse, when they dont write it at all, without notifying me and i wait for nothing." Maybe u should think why we dont write ur request, maybe ur request doesnt fit with our request guidelines. Or maybe it makes us uncomfortable, or just simply dont feel like writing ur request. Us writers, dont owe u anything actually. It's our blog, we can write what we want or not writing what we dont want to. Also if u request on anon, how r we gonna notify u? Maybe we replied n inform u that we r not gonna write it n u missed it.

"..and i wait for nothing." Well news flash anon, thats life. Sometimes u wait for nothing, didnt meant to burst ur bubbles anon.

Third, " i dont know whether to start attacking or understanding their situation..", the fact that u even debating on this n says it, it pisses me off! WTF?! Of course u have to understand our situation! Bold of u to say this. U want to start attacking us??! What a shitty mind u have there. What u gonna do to us? Send hate ask n punishing us for making u wait? I meant, who r u? The only thing thats gonna happen if u attack us, u gonna end up being blocked by us. Jokes on u.

Lastly, "i have run out patience with authors.", well, same to us, anon. We r running out of patience with people like u.

N if u dont like to wait and have a shitty entitled mind like this, u r more than welcomed to unfollow n leave.

How about, u make a writing blog, write some fics, take some requests get them done while u do ur chores in life n keep ur life going then come back off anon, n talk to me.

If u hate waiting for us to write ur idea, then write it urself..

Also, did u request anything to me that i havent write it? U can tell me which one is ur request, anon?

Cheerio!

WHAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST is that it's the small- to medium-sized blogs who are so grateful and appreciative, looking at these issues from all sides, and really listening to us (the readers.) And then the bigger blogs are the ones demanding shit and then making weird, guilt-trippy apologies when their (shitty) opinions are (politely) challenged. Not once have they asked us how we feel, or why we may or may not leave feedback. As you said, they talk about us like we're not even in the fucking room.

You are amazing. You are beauty. You are grace. I would like to apply to be your child, if you will have me. I have unfollowed several blogs over this whole fiasco because it has been extremely telling.

hello, anon! i am currently not taking applications for children as i find it difficult enough to keep myself and my cat alive, but i am honored that you consider me a suitable option as a parent. (my cat comes first, always.)

there are always going to be differing opinions, and sometimes an opinion isn't even necessarily bad so much as it is uninformed. i hope that whichever people you mean are taking time to listen to the responses of the readers, if they are receiving any, in order to become informed. 💜💜💜 and i am glad that you are taking steps to curate your feed in a way that makes you feel comfortable and cared about!

thank you for being here and for giving me your thoughts. thank you for calling me nice things! i really appreciate you!!!

#lovely anon #you've got mail 💌

🌿🍭🤲🧿

hiiii ty for sending this in!!

🌿how does creating make you feel?

so so sooooo good. like, when the words are flowing well and this tiny lil idea i had once is now turning into this fully fledged thing, it's just like. idk kind of magical. like I made this. I put these words down, in this order, and made these things happen. and I made people feel that thing because of it!! that's a powerful feeling!!

🍭why did you start writing?

because i had a story to tell! i had a story i wanted to fix, i had a story i wanted to continue, i had a story i wanted to create. i've always been good with words in the creative sense, and i've always enjoyed writing little stories as a kid. so it's only natural that that translated into my teenage and adult years too. it's fun to me, it gives me a creative outlet, it's something to do, it gets me validation lol.

🤲what do YOU get out of writing?

so much!!! ive said it a few times now but it's my creative outlet! it gives me a space to like explore concepts that rotate around my brain, it's something i can project my hopes and dreams and wishes onto, it's something i can channel my feelings into. it gives me a sense of accomplishment, when i finish something, and it gives me validation when i post and people like it and comment on it. writing has also given me some of my best friends, too. through it i've met so many wonderful people, and i've made some amazing connections and i will ALWAYS be grateful for that.

🧿what steps do you take to not take things personally if a fic doesn't do well, or if your writing/posting/sharing experience isn't going how you'd like it to?

ha. hahahaha, yeahhhh this is a tough thing to do sometimes. like. ough. okay. ngl i am actively trying not to take certain things personally when it comes to writing. lol. it's hard! it's hard because, like, there's no explanation for why things are the way they are or why people say certain things or why people flock towards one thing over the other. it's hard not to make that (most times false!) connection that it has anything to do with you/your writing.

the best thing i can think of to do in these situations is to a. give yourself some distance and b. find someone you trust that you can talk to about it!

stop looking at the ao3 stats page, don't look at how many notes your post got, close that fic that isn't doing too well, take a break from that server that's bringing you down, unfollow that person that's saying things that are making you feel bad. like, you have to take care of yourself! and sometimes out of sight, out of mind is the best way to do that. and then finding someone you can talk to also helps because like sometimes you just get really in your head about things, and you need someone who had an outside perspective to remind you that it isn't like that, and that you are still good.

for things that aren't doing as well as i'd like them to, i also like to remember that, like, i am writing for myself first and foremost. so if other people don't like it, that doesn't matter. because i like it. and i know this is a lot harder to do than it seems, trust me, but like if you keep repeating that to yourself it does start to set in. ALSO, instead of focusing on how many people aren't reading it, i focus on how many people have read it. 20 kudos is still 20 sets of eyes on your work!! and like if you think of it like youre sitting in a room and 20 people come in, that's gonna be a crowded room! that's a lot of people! and THOSE people read your fic! THOSE people liked it! so like, focusing on what you have been given instead of what you didn't get helps.

let's get REAL - fic writer asks

BUILD AND POI ALLIGATIONS

I haven't spoken on this matter between Build and Poi and I have reasons. This tumblr is a safe blog. A safe home. However as someone who has always supported Build and a fan of kinnporsche and the cast. I feel like I should speak now.

But I will say now. Any hate, towards anyone will not tolerated. Be it Build, Poi or anyone else. As for myself, I choose to believe in Build. For himself, his loved ones and all that support him. To prove himself. To clear his name. All I ask of you is support the actors. To do own research. To support those that have been abused. If you do not like this. You are free to unfollow. However for now, I am waiting.

If he's guilty, I'll admit my mistake. I'll apologise. But for now, I'll wait. Innocent till proven guilty. The truth will always come out. It be hard, however I'll process it just like others, especially those closest to him. That he faces consequences. And that Poi heals. And its a win in the sense of coming forward. To open up, to be brave especially if that other person is famous and loved by a lot of people. Even though methods make me think she didn't come forward for justice.

If innocent I'm so grateful. That I'm putting my faith in right person, my comfort. That he proved us right. Those that support him, are right to do so. That I hope he heals. hope he finds happiness and peace. And heals from this. That Build achieves his goals. Given support by those that love him. And that she gets help in why all of it. And please remember it's bad for those that have / are being abused. So in those senses it's a win and a loss.

I fully believe Poi also has her own actions to face. However abusing others should not mean she deserves it herself. Nor does it mean she should either inflect it onto others. I hope you are just as keen to have her face it. As you are in this situation.

I also fully believe Build left Be on Cloud to fight in court and clear his name for himself. To prove himself innocent. To the public. And did so not to effect those he cares for. For Builds hug with Pond that he shared. Maybe Pond believed that maybe he was showing he did care for him, a goodbye. That as someone who has been around both for a while it's neutral. He wants it to be solved. For the truth. That to him Build is not that person. However the truth always comes out. That no he does not support abuse. But he also cares for him. Maybe that's me being hopeful in his intentions but... We may never know. We can only wait and see the truth come out.

Either way being hateful, saying vile things about either or even later on is not tolerated. Not on my page. Take it else where. It doesn't make you any better. To support the others. To think of those people. Most likely they can't do much publicly [ as proved with the reel Pond shared and the reaction from everyone ] and we don't know if they are sending support privately. And even then they got own life to think of. Their careers, their own families ect. Please go to concerts and such. For them. If you cared for them at all, for Build please support them. They deserve the love, recognition and good vibes.

Oh and keep them, their traumatic past such and families out of it. I will not tolerate it. Thank you. 🖤

Maybe you just don't want to talk about this with anyone, so feel free to ignore it, I'm glad if you only read. Please please take control of the people you follow, the people you interact with and have on your blog or in any other site or social media that you use to share your interest in BTS... Our experience in the fandom will depend 100% on that, the way you see armys will be entirely affected by it. Don't follow anyone just 'cause they're nice if what they say upsets you, don't be afraid to block or unfollow anyone who makes you uncomfortable. There are many types of armys and accounts you can engage with, there are fanbases sharing beautiful projects and kind actions from armys around the world, there are artist armys (just like you!) who show their creations, armys focusing on gathering votes and streams (this will be forever important) and overall many many armys who just care about what BTS have to say, trusting their messages and trying their best every day. I'm afraid that you may start to see armys in a negative way, I'm afraid that you can believe that this fandom isn't a good fandom, that this doesn't feel like home... This is not true, please remember that? Ever since I becamy army I never thought bad of this fandom and I always could understand why BTS love armys so much, 'cause armys have been comforting me too and I don't even have friends... I'm comforted just by "strangers". Even on Twitter, where things are much bigger and easier to trigger us, I've found my "safety zone". It's all a result of whom you follow. This doesn't mean I haven't found mean people, stalkers or antis, I did and sometimes I kept looking for them, even knowing how it made me feel, but I do my best to control what and whom I search for. Please take care of this ♡ life is already so hard, this part doesn't need to also be. Our fandom is the biggest in this world and of course that it means there'll be more toxic and obsessed people, the bigger it is it can be scarier, but I hope you can always see that this number isn't even close to all the kind armys who learn a lot with BTS, all the armys chasing for their future and trying to be better human beings. You're one of them!

oh you’re very sweet for sending all this, I appreciate it. I just think that it’s pretty much impossible to avoid any of this simply because of how today’s social media works; I have a tiny twitter account, only follow a very small bunch of fans (mostly mutuals from here and editmys/fanartists); the algorithm still suggests super problematic tweets to me. Which is sad in itself because those tweets get so much traction that they’re suggested to me, do you know what I mean? I do block and mute every single one of these accounts, have a mile-long list of muted words, and yet. And just leaving or disabling these functions would let me not see the stuff I would like to see anymore, so that’s also not great. Tumblr is comparably fine but is also absolutely deserted and boring. I’m sorry to say this but ever since I joined the fandom two years ago, I had my opinion on the general vibe of armys and this didn’t change at all. I’ve never seen this fandom as a healthy community or a home, I’m only in it because I love the group. Yes there are definitely amazing (and sane) people I’ve met here on tumblr through the boys and I’m so grateful for that, but unfortunately it’s really just a very small number of people who I truly get along with (probably my own fault but yeh). Also it’s not just the negativity by the way, but also the infantilism, or the other extreme, sexualisation of the members, the absolute obsession with chart and streaming numbers, awards and records, the “quantity over quality” way of thinking, the list goes on. There’s just so much I can’t vibe with, don’t want to. I’m trying my best to keep curating my own fandom experience and I don’t see myself not following bts’ career at any time soon, but it still sucks that such a big part of loving them feels so.. corrupted at times.

#thank you for all the subtle compliments you seem very kind 💗#long post #anon #annie’s mail

That anon clearly has reading comprehension problems that that is what they got out of what you you actually said 😂. Why don’t they leave Tumblr and go back to school 🤣.

Like?!?!? People read what they want to read. Like I genuinely don't care about followers or notes. I'm pointing out that the amount of followers doesn't add up to the lack of interaction. That is my whole point (as I've blatantly said) and I'm not wrong for pointing out how weird it is. Because it is in fact very weird. And weirdos will literally do everything under the sun BUT unfollow me. If I'm so horrible, unfollow me. If I'm so much drama...unfollow me. It's really that simple because I have never cared and will never care about my follower count especially when in retrospect, it means nothing when a good chunk don't even make themselves known.

Furthermore, I am not the only writer to bring this up. I have seen so many writers talk about this and me and another writer are literally discussing this right now how readers will see several writers discuss the exact same issue and not...care. But ooooh the minute I actually open my mouth about it and decide not to post fics on here anymore suddenly all of these so called shy and busy people have so much vitriol to spew it's laughable.

They think I'm just supposed to be a writing machine with no feelings who should be grateful for anything even if said thing is no feedback. I'm an actual person who doesn't exist to thoughtlessly push out content for people to consume. People who think I am are really showing their ass right now and are only confirming my suspicions I've had that some of y'all follow writers for the sole purpose of hating on them and keeping tabs on them like some obsessed little freak

This is an independent, low activity Robin blog from Honkai Star Rail. Dark and triggering themes are highly likely to occur. My portrayal takes creative liberties based on the presented canon and until more information is released about Robin, everything is heavily headcanon-bound. Keep in mind that changes may or may not occur. Given that HSR is an ingoing game, spoilers will be present here. Established in February 1Oth, 2O24.

ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs ✧ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛs ✧ ʀᴇғʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ✧ ɪɴ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ

ONE. I go by Lyria and I'm a 25+ year old student. My first language isn't English so if you were to find any mistakes I can possibly make, feel free to drop by and tell me. This blog is a low activity RP blog of Robin of Honkai Star Rail, heavily headcanon based on canon factors and bound to change as the story progresses. Furthermore, the blog is not affiliated with the fandom, meaning that what the fandom where my muse belongs does doesn't represent me. Until further notice, this blog is on semi-hiatus indefinitely. Established in February 1Oth, 2O24.

TWO. I tend to write more multi-paras or novellas more than one-liners, or unique paras. This said, at times I might be posting one-liner calls to break the ice and reach out to more people to interact with! I'm aware that some people struggle by wanting to match the length of the reply, just know that there's no need to match the length of my replies! I admit that I tend to write a lot, but don't let that be an issue to you. If anything, as long as you write enough to have something to work with, that's enough.

THREE. For comfort reasons, this blog is highly selective and private. I will not follow first save for exceptions. However, if I receive asks about the game or headcanons, this is not a requirement. Sometimes it takes me a lot until I follow back. If you see that it’s taking me a while or I’m not following back, I have nothing against you. Do not expect me to agree with everything that’s reblogged under any circumstances nor expect me to feel offended by something that makes you feel that way. If I see any behavior that translates into guilt tripping or any similar attitude for not thinking the same, it will earn an instant unfollow Reciprocity goes a long way. I’m a very patient person, and I understand that life obligations make it harder to dedicate time to what I believe is a hobby. That’s why I think that are more indicators of interest than those related to direct RP interactions between our muses, such as liking posts be it OOC, headcanons, etc. If I see that months pass without any of this happening, it is likely that I will unfollow as I’m not comfortable with the sensation of follow for follow. If I follow you, it’s because I interact with you.

FOUR. Godmod and infomod unless we’re talking about a pre-established thread is a no. Please, don’t do that. If I don’t reply to a meme or a thread, there’s a chance that Tumblr ate asks (which happened to me twice by now, hopefully it won’t happen again) or that I forgot in case of the threads. Coming to me and asking doesn’t hurt, but I’d be grateful if you don’t pester me for responses. If you send a meme ask and you want to make it into a thread, you're more than welcome to do so! In the event you'd like to plot something out before doing that, feel free to drop by my IMs or asks and we'll discuss something out.

FIVE. In terms of exclusivity, I used to practise one-sided exclusivity with me only adhering to the portrayal of the person I’m shipping our muses with and say that the other person can ship with someone else’s portrayals of the same muse as I write without a problem which I’ll still be implementing. However, it’d be wrong of me not to admit that it’d be nice that if we’re shipping our muses, that said exclusivity is reciprocated if possible. Regarding smut content, it'll be tagged with a plain #nsfw tag. It won't be put under read more, but rest assured that R18 visual imagery won't be used, only writing.

SIX. Blog roll: @reginrokkr.

SEVEN. Art credit.

Just wanted to say I completely agree with you on what you said on your voice recording. Tbh I don’t think it’s weird to be off put by the disingenuous way people seem to interact these days. It’s especially frustrating if you’re a person who values others for more than just what they can give you in a business sense. Being that person is sorta rare now so it’s valuable. Community and genuine connection are still valuable and definitely not naive but I get why it can be scary being the genuine one in a world where a lot of people take advantage of that. As far as unfollowing goes, even people with lots of followers get unfollowed and it can sometimes be for no other reason than the unfollower wanting less stuff on their feed. The attention economy is weird af. You’re right for not valuing followers as heavily. I know it’s hard cus it’s like a form of currency these days. But honestly there are some mega talented artists that don’t have many followers cus the algorithm is cruel lol. Needing to bring more to the table than followers is def important too. I know someone who has quite a few followers cus they have famous friends but tbh their work is not super impactful (doesn’t mean they can’t improve just saying). Sorry this is long, what you said just resonated. Don’t beat yourself up, stay consistent. The right people will value your work AND you.

hi :)) i am so sorry for leaving this in my inbox for so long! when i get a nice message i like to keep it for a bit and really absorb it before i respond. anyway, i do hope you see this even though some time has passed. i appreciate u reaching out to tell me that my words resonated with u. and i am very grateful for your words of encouragement too! this message validated my thoughts, and that is always a warm feeling. i also know/have seen a lot of people who are very popular online but don’t exactly…well im trying not to talk shit about other artists especially because im trying to divorce myself from competition mentality. but what i will say is some people with huge followings don’t necessarily have super interesting or impactful bodies of work (like u said)..and sometimes it’s a matter of knowing the right people, or playing the algorithm exactly right, or maybe mediocrity being rewarded a little bit too lol. but it is grounding and reassuring a bit to remember and be reminded that follower count is not always a measurement of talent. And that many talented artists often slip under the radar due to no fault of their own. i think honestly, i have a fear of slipping under the radar. I think a lot of us do. i think that specific fear is especially prominent now, in that none of us want to be forgotten or deemed irrelevant. but i have to remind myself that even that is based in ego! and that as long as i keep being myself in my most true form eventually that has to be rewarded in some way…even if the reward is just me feeling pride for remaining true to my heart haha. it might take more time to do things organically it may be more difficult to continue to remember who i am but since i feel so much discomfort doing it any other way, i know that im meant for this version of my life’s journey. i kind of went on a tangent at the end .__. but i really appreciate your message, and i don’t mind the length of it at all! i love a long message with substance. thanks for sending and thanks for reading this.

#also my apologies if i didn’t really respond to what u said and just went off on my own shit ! this subject matter #is feeling so relevant to me right now so I think I may have subconsciously used this ask as a chance to get those other things out too

I’ll Always Protect You

florence pugh x fem!reader

warnings: mention of death threats.

word count: 1.7k

summary: you and florence had been dating for a while. when she posts you on her Instagram, you receive a bunch of hate comments and florence defends you and your relationship.

request from @the-loving-quotes

Dating Florence Pugh has been one of the greatest decisions you have ever made in your life. You both have managed to keep your relationship lowkey until she randomly posts you on her Instagram. It was a photo of you looking at this mountain view at sunset from the balcony. She captioned it “My happy place.”

Your heart started to race as soon as you saw a photo of yourself on her Instagram-- and the fact that she tagged you almost made you pass out.

You looked through her comments and let’s just say most of it wasn't what you would have expected. Some were positive-- for example, there were comments that read:

“OH MY GOSH IT CONFIRMED! I'M SO HAPPY”

“I’m so proud of you <3”

“You guys are the absolute cutest!”

Then, there were comments that weren’t so positive. It was a mixture of homophobic comments and comments that said “Florence deserves better.”

Of course, they hurt, but you didn’t mind at first and chose to focus on the more positive comments.

A couple days pass and you also decide to post Florence on your Instagram. As you hit “post,” your phone instantly started buzzing with notifications. Again, the comments were all a mixture of the positives and the negatives. However, you wanted to focus on the positive side and ignored the comments.

You posted Florence on your Instagram story, and you received a lot of DM’s. Although you don’t open your DM’s, you decided to check just for the hell of it. As soon as you swiped to your message requests, you instantly regretted swiping.

“Kill yourself. You don’t deserve Florence.”

Tears started to well up in your eyes, but you quickly wiped them away when you heard Florence come into the living room.

“Dinner’s ready, darling,” she says, holding a wooden spoon.

“Hm? Oh, right. I’ll be there in a sec,” you respond.

“Is everything alright, love?” she walks towards you with a concerned look on her face.

You take a deep breath. “Yes, everything’s fine.” You clench your jaw hoping Florence would drop the subject.

She pouts and looks at you with worry. Florence knows every little detail about you. She knows that nothing is ever “fine,” when it follows with you clenching your jaw. However, Florence doesn’t like to overstep on your boundaries, so she drops the subject and figures she’ll ask you later.

“Alright, love. C’mon, let's eat. I’ve made your favorite,” she says, giving you a soft smile.

You loved Florence’s cooking and you always made sure to compliment her dishes whenever she cooked. However, tonight was quiet. The two of you sat in silence, quietly eating your dinner.

You were grateful that Florence knew to get off your back whenever you were in a mood. That’s one of the things that you appreciated most about her, her ability to understand your emotions and how you cope with them.

You knew that she would eventually ask you what happened as you have both communicated that suffering in silence wasn’t healthy.

You finished dinner early and asked yourself to be excused. You headed to bed as soon as you finished your meal. Florence stayed in the kitchen to tidy up and to give you some more space.

Laying on your side, you couldn’t help but to grab your phone and scroll through your notifications. As hurt as you were already, you were too stubborn to gain some self-control. As terrible as that message was, your comment section got even worse. Not only was it filled with homophobic comments, but you were also getting sent death threats. You had checked Florence’s account and pressed on your photo. You noticed that she turned off the comments.

You felt the bed behind you dip as an arm wrapped around your torso.

“Hi,” Florence whispers, and she rests her chin on your shoulder.

“Hi,” you weakly respond. You sigh as you turn your phone off and place it on the bedside table. You turn around in Florence’s arm and face her.

Florence gave you a worried smile and she wiped the tears on your face. You were so busy scrolling through the hate comments that you hadn’t noticed that tears were falling from your eyes.

“Oh, my love.” Florence places a gentle kiss on your forehead. She then looks at you with worry in her eyes. Florence couldn’t imagine what was going through your mind.

“I know you saw the comments,” she begins, “I saw them too. As soon as I saw the hate comments, I immediately turned them off.”

You sniffled and took a deep breath. “I got death threats,” you say, your voice breaking.

“What?” Florence says, appalled. Florence could feel her heart race and feel herself be filled with rage.

“That’s it, I’m making a post, this is unbelievable,” Florence says getting up to get her phone.

“No, please, you don’t have to,” you plead, “it’ll only make things worse.”

“No it won’t, Y/n, I promise you,” Florence says, already typing in her notes.

“You can’t promise me something that you have no control over,” you say coldly.

Florence pauses. She looks over at you, takes a deep breath and pouts. She stares at you for a while, studying your face. Florence is the type of person to defend the people she loves and doesn’t care if it will give her a bad rep. You just so happen to be one of the people that Florence loves, and she will do whatever it takes to defend you and her love for you.

“It doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone I love is being sent death threats, so please, let me say something,” she says, reaching for your hand.

“I really don’t deserve you,” you sigh.

“You do Y/n, you deserve every bit of me as much as I deserve every bit of you,” Florence says, caressing your cheek.

A few days passed and Florence posted a video on her Instagram regarding the hate you had been receiving.

“To my “fans,” who have sent a tremendous amount of hate to my girlfriend, Y/n, kindly unfollow me. I do not need your negativity towards my relationship with her. The hate you throw at her is hate you throw at me. The death threats you throw at her, are also death threats you throw at me. It is not your place to tell me who I should and should not love, nor is it any of your business. I do not appreciate the comments you have thrown at her. She does not deserve it, and nor do I. I am happy with Y/n. She makes me a better person. So please, leave my relationship alone and stop sending my girlfriend death threats. I will not ask again.”

After watching the video, you were in shock. Even if you had talked about it a couple days prior, you still didn’t expect that she would actually post it. Florence kept the comments on and fortunately, it was filled with massive support from other celebrities. You were grateful.

Florence had an interview with Jimmy Kimmel this week to discuss her recent and future projects. Of course, her video regarding your relationship was a topic of discussion. You stayed backstage and watched Florence’s interview from her dressing room.

“Okay, I think everyone here has seen the video that you had recently posted regarding your relationship,” Jimmy says.

“Yeah, I hope so,” Florence chuckles nervously.

“So tell me, if you’re comfortable, why you had said what you needed to say?” he asks.

“Did you watch the video?” Florence says sarcastically, earning a couple laughs from the crowd. “Um, I figured that I needed to. I mean my girlfriend was getting sent death threats for no apparent reason and it needed to stop.” This earned Florence a clap from the audience.

“That’s fair. God, the internet is so toxic, isn’t it?” Jimmy complains.

“Yeah,” Florence agreed. “Y/n and I had been dating for a while now and we’d managed to keep it lowkey. I just thought that when I’d finally posted her that I wouldn’t receive such horrid comments. Which is why I felt the need to address this because I hate seeing the people I love get hurt.”

A couple people from the crowd “Awwed”

“So, tell me what it is about Y/n that just makes you so in love with her?” Jimmy asked curiously.

Florence smiled as she thought about the things that she loved most about you. “Her smile was something that caught my eyes right off the bat. She has such a kind smile and I would do everything just to keep her smiling.”

The crowd “Awwed” again.

“Also, Y/n is so loving. She won’t admit it because she likes to be that “tough” person on the outside, but inside she’s a big softie. She gives the best cuddles. I also love how she makes me tea every time I come home from filming.”

“Aww, that must be nice. I think we all need a Y/n in our life, right?” Jimmy says.

The camera pans to the crowd who was cheering and nodding their heads.

“Well, too bad, Y/n is only one person and I’m the lucky girl who has her,” Florence says wittily.

The crowd laughed and clapped.

“Alright, well it was lovely having you, Florence,” Jimmy says, shaking Florence’s hand. “And that’s all for tonight, we’ll see you tomorrow!”

On the ride home, you rested your head on Florence’s shoulders.

“You really had to call me out, didn’t you?” you ask.

“Yeah, maybe just a little,” Florence says, making a gesture.

You chuckle and look at her. “Did I ever tell you that you are the most beautiful woman I’d ever laid my eyes on?”

“Yes, Y/n, you tell me everyday,” she says, grabbing your cheek.

You smile and close the gap between you. Florence melts into the kiss and moves her hand to the back of your head, running her hands through your hair. You pull away to catch some air and Florence rests her forehead against yours.

“I love you, Flo. Thank you for everything.”

“I love you too Y/n. and don’t thank me, you know I’ll always protect you.”

The End

i unfollowed you, not because i dont like you, but rather because you have such trans girl swag that i just followed you for like... years without realizing you're not transfem and we have nothing else in common. i truly wish you the best of course but like... to me you're just some person walking around making posts and stuff.

ok?

it honestly bothers me that you followed me for years and you didnt like the content of my character or anything ive done and decided to now send me this saying “im just some person walking around making posts” because i didnt fit your image of who you thought i was. and it was entirely contingent on my gender and not any other thing about me? i am not a transfem, youre right, but 1. you also really dont know my history with gender and 2. its shitty that you went out of your way to tell me you were uninterested in any aspect of my personality other than my gender for years apparently. and you felt the need to inform me that you’re unfollowing me because i don’t fit your mental image of me….

you are just some person who treats people on the internet like they arent real, because you only care about a fictionalized image of them. you are like some person who thinks their opinion of someone is so important that they have to decree theyre unfollowing me in their askbox. im sorry you dont like me for who i am, but i guess i prefer that you’ve unfollowed because i dont want to be seen as someone else, someone imagined. (i think in some ways this is why perfect blue is so important to me) i want to be, i AM me, and thats all i can be. i am just some person walking around and liking myself (new development!) and sometimes other people do too, because of who i am as a person. this sort of thing drags me down, especially when i see it first thing in the morning, because it really bothers me when people send me these presumptuous and sometimes rude asks because they don’t think about the feelings of the person that theyre sending it to. so i guess all in all, if you are the kind of person who sends this sort of message, i truly wish you the best of course but i’d rather that people who actually like me for me follow me. i am a person, anon. this is really dehumanizing. in the future, please treat fellow internet denizens as human beings with feelings.

on that note, im sorry im replying to this and not my nice asks. this is kind of an anomaly and i don’t get stuff like this often. the nice asks, i like to keep them and look at them. honestly, sometimes when im at my lowest, i read them, and its like exp or spore food bits in the first stage. i truly appreciate how kind people are to me from the bottom of my heart. ive done a lot of work trying to bring myself back from having a horrible self image, because for so long i couldnt stand myself, and when i get a nice ask, its like adding a plate of armor to my knight-suit. i am feeling stronger than ever, and i appreciate and love every message and reply with all my heart. idk how to reply to replies sometimes but i read them all and they stay in my back pocket. i wish i could Like the replies. i just really appreciate how kindly people treat me and i cannot thank you enough. ive been through really tough shit the last 6 years and the dust is finally settling and everything is looking like itll be okay, and im touched whenever i get a kind message, because im grateful, truly, for people who have seen my highs and lows, failures and triumphs, and are so unrelentingly supportive. i wish i could express genuinely how much it means to me from the bottom of my heart. there are times when people here treated me much kinder than i would ever allow myself to at the time, and i really can’t explain how much it meant and still means to me. so thank you, a million times thank you. i started crying writing this part lol. i am just very beyond appreciative that i so infrequently have negativity on my blog. thank you to all the people who have stuck with me and sent me such kind things. i hope to keep making stuff and doing things and i hope it’ll entertain you and make you happy as much as doing those things makes me happy. lets be happy all together! thank you.

#sorry for the brick
