There’s some context missing and I probably forgot some things too

Oh damn that's a lot

I feel we are indeed missing some stuff

It's like a puzzle

For now I'm lost because I do not know who Wormhole and Burrow are at all

I might need explanations on each characters individually

But the story is as interesting as I thought it was

#thankies Anne #now I gotta find more clues #somewhere in the week #cause rn it's like 1 am #but the pieces of the puzzle are coming together ! #also to those that are *in* the story #feel free to add infos about your characters and lore ! #i'd love to know even though I don't have time to go through the thousands of blogs yall made

[homosexualangelinthesky]

The gay bank robbers aren’t real. The pictures are of members of mcr

Theyre real in my heart and that's what matters

#i got two (2) anons informing me that they gay robbers are actually mcr #and on one hand thanky for the info #but on the other hand #gay robbers 🥺 #also sorry for the late response #i never get asks so i never check my inbox

🌷 Who's up for a creative challenge? 🌷

If it's not apparent already, I love flowers and I love the Pedro Boys! So, what could be more fun than combining the Pedro Boys and flowers in a creative challenge? 🌷🪻🌻

Perhaps Marcus brings you flowers on date night, Dave's scattered sumptuous petals leading you up to bed, you and Ezra get stranded on a planet with alien-esque florals, or you're showering sweet Javi G with his favourite blooms for his birthday... 🌷🪻🌻

Running during the month of May, I challenge you to write and share a fic - or fics - featuring any of the Pedro Boys and flowers. 🪻

You can also make mood boards or art if you're not a writer - or don't want to write - but still want to participate! 🌷

🌻 See below for the full challenge details! 👇🏻

The challenge deets:

Must feature at least one Pedro Boy - can be any character Pedro has played, no matter how popular. You can feature more than one Pedro Boy too, if you like.

Must contain flowers or plants in some capacity. 🌷🪻🌻 Can be the main feature of your story, or a background aesthetic. Florals, plants, succulents - you name it, you can feature any of them!

Can be as smutty or fluffy as you want! Hot, soft, gentle, fun, quirky - you've got freedom on whether you wanna write smut or not.

No word limit - you write as many words as you see fit.

Any Reader type! You can write in X Reader, original character or just the Pedro Boys engaging with one another. Any gender/race/size or physical ability of Reader is absolutely welcome too! 🌈 This is an inclusive house! 🙌🏻

Mood boards, video edits and original artwork is also welcome - but must feature a Pedro Boy and flowers, and must be your own creation.

No limit to the number of submissions - you can write more than one fic, or submit more than one artwork, but the Pedro Boys must be different for each submission.

Tag me in your work and use the #jettsflora&faunachallenge so I can add it to a Masterlist.

This challenge will run from 1st May - 31st May 2024 and I'll add works as they're posted.

☝🏻 Don't worry too much if you miss the deadline, life happens, and you'll still be able to submit your fic/art after the deadline. Just let me know. 🌷🪻🌻

🪻🌷🌻 And as a flowery bonus...

I will pick one piece of work submitted at complete random, when all the works are posted, and will send that person a bunch of flowers!* 💐

I hope you'll participate and have fun & I can't wait to see what you'll come up with! Would really appreciate a signal boost too - thankies 🖤

A-Z of Flowers Database Look up your flowers 🌷🪻🌻

*I can send flowers worldwide. In order to send them, I'll need a name & a delivery address. I appreciate it if you don't feel comfortable sharing that info with a stranger, however please rest assured those details will stay with me and only me. The recipient will be picked at random using a generator. If you have floral allergies, I can send a substitute little floral themed gift instead. 🖤

Brownie

Little!Reader, CG!OT8 (Changbin, Chan, Minho, Felix are mentioned)

Chan = Daddy, Minho = Mama, Changbin = Baba, Hyunjin = Papa, Jisung = Appa, Felix = Mommy, Seungmin = Dada, Jeongin = Eomma

Request Info - - - - Masterlist

A/N: this fic is related to another fic. It is not required to understand this fic, but it is mentioned if youre curious 😀

You hum softly as you lay on your bed. Changbin quietly comes into the room and watches you hum and color for a while. "Hey, Baby," he says softlyx earning an excited squeal and a smile.

"Baba!" You get off the bed and run over to Changbin, who effortlessly lifts you off the ground and SpIns you around. "Baba, dinner time?" You tilt your head, knowing there aren't many reasons that he could be in your room.

"Yep, it's dinner time, Baby. And guess what! Mommy made some brownies for after dinner too!"

You squeal and clap your hands. "Brownies!" Changbing laughs and carries you out to the kitchen and sets you in your chair, the same one you always sit in. Chan and Minho are already there. Chan sees you in the chair and laughs.

"Hey, Y/N? Why are you in my seat?"he teases you playfully. "I think that we need to fix that!" He picks you up and sits in your chair, pulling you into his lap. Minho sets a bowl in front of you and Chan. Chan picks up the spoon and starts to feed you your dinner. It turns out to be Mac & cheese.

"Mama make Mac & cheese!" You giggle excitedly. "Thankies Mama!"

"You're welcome, Baby" Minho kisses your cheek and goes back over to the stove to finish cooking. They'd learned that it was easier if they fed you before eating. Never at the same time or after. To put it simply, it got a bit messy.

"Brownie now?" You ask as soon as you eat your last spoonful.

"Not yet, Baby. You've got to wait. Be a good baby and wait okay?" Chan places a small kiss on the top of your nose as he tells you this. you giggle at the kiss.

"Okie, Daddy!" You nod and stay on chans lap as the rest of the group starts to eat. Chan puts a movie on on his phone to distract you. While the others all eat, you watch your movie.

After dinner, Felix brings out a tray of brownies. You squeal, making grabbing hands towards the tray. "Brownie! Brownie!"

"Hang on, Sunbeam!" Felix laughs softly and ruffles your hair.

"I wanna Brownie now, Mommy!"

"Okay, Sunbeam. Just give me a moment!" Felix cuts you a brownie and puts it on a plate, carefully handing it to you. "Can you eat it on your own, or do you need help?"

"I can do it! I a big kid, see?" You eat a small piece of the brownie and look up at Felix triumphantly.

Could you write about Little!Kaveh and Caregiver!Alhaitham? I think it'd be a really cute dynamic! Pwease n thankies!

Absolutely! Thanks a bunch for the request~

Little Kaveh and Carer Alhaitham Headcanons!

These two are some of my partner's favorites and I can't wait to meet them~

Kaveh regresses to 2-4 years old

He is sooo emotional while regressed! He's super empathetic and a bit of a crybaby

Little things like dropping one of his stuffed animals feels like the end of the world to him!

Alhaitham is a good foil to Kaveh's strong emotions; he's able to calmly talk his baby down from the apparent calamity that set him off, usually by providing either a simple solution to the problem or distracting Kaveh with something more fun

Of course, Kaveh has very strong positive feelings too! He gets so excited about things he likes, and Alhaitham finds it super endearing~

Alhaitham tends to be pretty laid back and honestly sometimes wishes that he felt more comfortable showing his emotions like Kaveh does... Luckily, said baby is perfectly happy to drag his dada along on all sorts of adventures!

Kaveh's not much into nature trips; he much prefers hopping around the city ooh-ing and aah-ing at the big, pretty buildings, which he always points out to Alhaitham (despite the building being pretty obvious!)

When they're out though, Alhaitham requires Kaveh to hold his hand at all times, because Kaveh has a tendency to run off and then end up scared and crying because he can't find his dada

Kaveh is always exhausted when they get back home, so he needs lots of help getting clean and into some comfy pajamas

When he gets too sleepy, its time for cuddles with dada and Kaveh's Immense army of stuffed animals

Alhaitham often reads out loud to Kaveh during evenings like this, when everything feels so warm and soft and his baby is being so sweet~

Ahhh, I'm obsessed with them... 🥹 I wasn't gonna do a full moodboard but I found too many pictures I liked, hehe~ The binkie is from Velueur, which looks like a real cute shop!

Check here for the active ask game and here for general request info and media list!

Hello I love you’re writing tips!

I have a question.

I would like to ask what’s a good way to start my book? I’ve been making my story board but I just can’t think of any ways to get started on my book and plan out the entire plot. That’s what I’ve been having trouble with.

Thankies~

Hi there! Thanks for dropping an ask. I’m so glad you enjoy the writing tips!

My first recommendation is going to be very simple, probably more simple than you’d like — just write. Don’t worry about the perfect way to open your story because, truthfully, you’ll probably change it by the time you’re done editing anyway. You can start writing in the middle of the plot or just start writing random scenes. The more you write, the more details will come to you, and the more you’ll figure out what you want your layout to be.

Of course, I’ll give you some more ideas than that because that’s not very helpful to your direct question. But it’s something to consider. You don’t have to write your story in order. Your writing process is your own. Nonetheless, here are some ways to start your story!

✧

Writing Tips

Story Openings

➸ danger: drop the readers right into action with something dangerous; don’t worry if they don’t understand what’s happening yet because the whole point is to get them hooked

➸ dialogue: drop your readers right into an important conversation

➸ flashback: give the readers a glimpse into the character’s past, especially if it’s something that will heavily affect the character development; it’ll build the readers intrigue

➸ foreshadowing: let the readers in on what’s about to happen; something as simple as “if only he knew…” will add suspense and intrigue

➸ historical context: tell a story of the culture or some historical turning point to jump into world building

➸ mystery: have your character do something unexplained; it’ll make the readers want backstory

➸ normal day: start with a normal day… until it’s not; write your characters daily commitments (something to show who they are) and then have it all suddenly change; this can be a good way to express the main character’s lifestyle, introduce side characters early on, and world build — but be careful because it can also be rather boring

➸ onomatopoeia: start with a sound that moves into an action for a quick way to hook the reader (boom! crack! crash!)

➸ perspective: give a point of view from a side character (this can be especially intriguing if your main character is an unreliable narrator)

➸ prophecy: start with a compelling prophecy to keep the readers wondering how it will connect later on

➸ question: start with an important question and let the rest of the scene answer it

➸ secret: give your readers something only they know or something only one character knows; it’ll initiate suspense

✧

Tips

➸ avoid info-dumping: you spent all this time building this world and you want your readers to know it… I get it… but they’ll figure it out as the story goes; don’t throw a bunch of information at them right away or they won’t retain it and they’ll get bored

➸ don’t overdo descriptions: readers have an amazing ability to fill in gaps; they don’t need to know every detail of your setting or character appearance; give a prominent detail or two and let them fill in the rest

➸ don’t tell everything at once: your readers need to wonder what will happen or they won’t want to read more

➸ establish the character’s voice: your readers should have a decent idea of who the main character is by the end of the first chapter

➸ keep it moving: the plot should always move forward, even in the start; even though this is an ‘introduction’ chapter, it should flow into the second chapter with ease

➸ know what you want your readers to know: list the details you want established from the very beginning and brainstorm the best way to describe a majority of these while still moving the plot forward

HIIII for the Ask game :3

1, 5, 6, 19

OKAY OKAY WE GOT A FEW thankies thankies

What memory would your OC rather just forget?

Honestly, she isn't very traumatized through her life, unfortunate circumstances due to her moving a lot but never really got anything she wanted to forget. Once she got into the military, it wasn't too bad... but there are some things that play in her head. Hearing someone on the radio suddenly cut as she was communicating with someone in the air, it scared her from flying. It's why she still has an aversion and prefers working on the ground. She's been taken hostage, seen people die, caused deaths up close with a silenced pistols. She much prefers a good stake out mission.

5. How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

Though she dislikes doing it, she knows she's good at it, she very often can manipulate to get what she want, lying straight to people's face and actually coming up with pretty good stories that she states very naturally. If she can't do that or it doesn't work, she can and will just figure out how to take what she wants. Objects, data, info; she'll somehow get it, then can circle back to lying so she's not suspected.

6. How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?

It's incredibly hard, she's pretty stubborn in general so trying to convince her to do anything she doesn't believe in 100%, you aren't going to get her to do. She's true to heart and her own personal beliefs so no amount of money, objects, anything could convince her to go against them.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

Dead silent. She won't say a word. She will stay in her head, but can snap quickly at people if they're being too loud to her (any amount of noise). In her head she thinks of the solutions she could do to solve whatever made her mad. She'll smoke at an unprecidented rate as she just tries to cope with her anger too, sometimes that's the only way she's able to catch her breath. If she does start talking and keep talking up to screaming, she can't shout without crying, even if she is fully mad. This is why she does remain silent.

Hiya! Came from Rabid's blog, sorry to bother, but what can Jefferey do? Like, he eats like a duck, can mimic/play music, and grow and shrink at will. Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanky for your time! I mean no harm, I just dunno where any info is. Sorry! *Passes bag of green grapes to the boi and a slice of favorite cake to the Author*

Jeffery doesn’t eat like a duck, trust me he can eat almost anything, it’s just he prefers the foods in the diet of a duck :)

for now those are his abilities, I may add more in the future so be ready for that

Don’t worry about being a bother around here! Anyone from any of my friends/mutual’s blogs is welcome here & is never a bother 👍

(Once again, sorry for all the back-to-back asks, syl, I'm just so excited about your comic! It's like how I feel when a new season or game of my favorite series comes out!)

Panic Attack

Request Info - - - - Masterlist

Baby!Reader, CG!Jungwon (ft Sunoo & Riki)

(slight) TW: mini panic attack, implied seperation anxiety

You were crawling around the house, being followed by Riki. He and Sunoo were babysitting you because Jungwon had left for a little bit. You stop outside the door to Jungwon's room. 

"Riki! Riki!" You babble at him and point to the door. Riki comes over to you and picks you up.

"Oh, Darling, Papa isn't home right now. He'll be home soon." He holds you close and takes you back out to the living room where Sunoo is cleaning up some of your toys.

"Hello, Darling," he smiles and comes over to you, holding a bunny plushie in his hands. You squeal, reaching out for the plushie. He hands you the plushie and you hug it tightly, chewing on the ear. 

"Noo, Riki! Papa?"  

"Papa went to run some errands, Darling." Sunoo reminds you gently.

You start to cry softly, holding the plushie tighter. Riki sits on the sofa and rocks you back and forth and puts your paci in your mouth, trying to calm you. 

"Papa! Papa!" You continue to cry. You struggle and try to get away from Riki, almost falling, but he holds you tighter. "Papa!"

"Papa will be home soon, Darling. You just needs to wait a little longer." Riki and Sunoo try to reassure you as you cry. Riki gently rocks you back and forth as you cry. As your crying slows, you start to relax slightly, the panic exhausting you. Sunoo takes you from Riki and puts you in bed for a nap.

While you were napping, Jungwon came home. He sees Sunoo and Riki watching a k-drama on TV. "Where is Y/N? Are they alright?" He asks, a frown on his face. 

"They started panicking because you weren't home. The panic attack made them tired, so I put them down for a nap." Sunoo replies. 

Jungwon sighs and goes down to your room. "Y/N-ie? Baby? Wake up for Papa."

You slowly wake up and see Jungwon sitting on the bed, stroking your cheek. "Papa!" You start to babble softly as you reach out to him. He picks you up gently and smiles at you, kissing your forehead. 

"Hello, Baby. Did you have fun with Sunoo and Riki today?" 

You frown and babble softly. You bury your head into Jungwon's shoulder and tears start to fall.

"Baby? Oh, Baby. Were you upset because I was gone?" You nod slightly and Jungwon continues, "Baby, you don't need to worry. I'm always gonna come back for you, Baby. It's okay. It's okay." He gently bounces you, trying to soothe you. "Let's go get you a bottle, Baby. That should help." He takes you out to the living room. "Riki? Can you hold them please? I'm going to go grab their bottle." 

Riki nods and takes you from Jungwon. You reach out and cry as Jungwon leaves the room. "Papa! Papa!" You cry out. 

"Hey. It's okay, Darling. Papa's grabbing your bottle really fast. He'll be right back." Riki kisses your forehead gently. 

Jungwon quickly comes back with the bottle. He takes you and sits in an armchair, holding you close. He gently feeds you the bottle as you cling to him.

You continue to babble as he feeds you, telling him what you'd done with Sunoo and Riki. Jungwon encourages you as you babble. "Can you tell Sunoo and Riki 'thank you' for playing with you today, Baby?" 

You nod quickly and babble some more. Jungwon sets you down and you crawl over and hug Riki and Sunoo. "Thankies!" You smile. Both hug you before giving you back to Jungwon. You cling to him and bury your head into his shoulder, humming contently.

HI HI HI UM. I have the memory of a goldfish but have you ever mentioned Kitt in three hopes? Is that something you want to ever do or have at least thought about?

Oh hey, you're right! I did post a Three Hopes design for them once but I never really got into detail about what Kitt would be like in the Sheziverse.

In that case, I'll do a kitt+3hopes info dump real soon :3333 plz look forward to it

[copperbadge]

Hey Sam, was wondering if you've seen any info or statistics regarding Autism / ADHD in fandom? There's nothing in Wikipedia and not sure where to look. Thanky Muchly!

I don't think that information exists, tbh, and if it does I don’t know if it’s reliable. Anecdotally I know that most of us believe neurodiversity is much, much more prevalent in fandom than in non-fandom populations, and I think it’s true, but realistically it’s also mainly people looking at their own fannish social circles.

TLDR below but basically unless you have limitless funding and staff it's nearly impossible to even gather the information accurately -- it may be out there but I’d be skeptical. The TLDR is just because I like talking about this stuff :D

There are a number of problems with trying to provide actual numerical stats on this. Start with fandom -- what are we identifying as fandom, and how are we identifying participation in it? Does sports count? It's undoubtedly fandom. How do you measure who's "in" fandom or not? I follow AS Roma, an Italian soccer club, but I don't know the chants, don't own merch, and don't participate in discussion or attend games. I do read fanfic and listen to podcasts about it. Am I part of fandom? (I mean, yes, but not because of AS Roma, probably.)

Does someone who religiously watches a TV show but ONLY watches it, and isn't online about it, count? What if they aren't online but talk it over with a dedicated group of viewers at their place of work? What if they ARE online about it but have some super rancid takes about it that indicate it's obvious they don't understand what's going on? When we say fandom do we really mean people who write and read fanfic? What about people who don't do that but do meta, or gifmaking, or art? Are we taking everyone's word for it when they say they're in fandom, or looking at each person's online behavior against a rubric?

So, you have a problem just identifying who is and is not in the culture you want to study. You also have a problem in that you have to rely on those people self-reporting reliably, and determine whether you're going to count people who don't have an official diagnosis, or who refuse to provide the data. (I would possibly refuse. Past experience with people outside of fandom trying to study it statistically has not been positive -- oldies, who here remembers those two dudes who thought slash was the female equivalent of trans fetish porn for men? -- while people who are of fandom trying to study it sometimes get pushback because it’s their community and they’re a bit close to the matter.)

Okay, so approach the problem from the reverse -- look at a pool of people with ADHD and Autism (how do you get that pool? Well, it's probably at least EASIER than identifying fandom, you might have access to a clinic or social services records of some kind) and pick out the people who are fans among them. But you can't really do this, either, because what you're doing then is identifying how many neurodivergent people are in fandom, not how many fans are neurodivergent. Your pool necessarily does not include any neurotypicals. So you can say X percent of neurodivergents are into fandom, but that doesn't answer the question of whether fandom has a higher degree of neurodiversity than non-fandom. (You could possibly compare percentages in neurodivergent populations versus neurotypical, although the issue of "what is a fandom? We just don't know" still stands.)

So yeah. I've never seen numbers and would not necessarily trust them if I did. At the least I'd want to read an extensive methodology.

It seems very self-evident that fandom would be a place neurodiverse people congregate, because of tendencies to hyperfixation, and also because fandom (believe it or not) is generally an extremely accepting space, so people who have experienced a lot of social rejection are less likely to experience it in fandom. Note: LESS likely, not UNlikely, I know fandom has its issues. But fandom's inherent tendency towards acceptance of the weird is why neurodivergent and queer people tend to find their way to it. Or so the theory goes. How do you gather data on that? Download all of tumblr and do keyword-scan analysis? Man, I'd be intrigued by who would fund that, actually, and what the results would be. If there are any billionaires out there who are interested, hmu, I’ll project manage the shit out of it for decent pay and a strong benefits package.

In any case, the probable-best method of gathering this info is a voluntary survey where you accept peoples' self-identification (of both "being fannish" and "being neurodiverse"), which is fine, but not ideal, and you're still dealing with the issue of it being self-selecting.

Uh.

So.

As a fan, I think the answer is "this is probably true but we have no good data."

As a data scientist, the answer is *long, mournful scream* *interested look* *return to screaming*
