yes, i am doing this again.

mutuals + other people, rb this with a hyper-specific “headcanon” of the person who tagged you

idk who to do so i’ll just tag some people to get it started

all tags are no pressure ofc

you are too obsessed with hello kitty and squeal when given hello kitty merch

You turn into Morgan Freeman at random intervals, most recorded cases were on April 2nd

Uhhh, you secretly despise blue cheese. because around a year ago you went to a carnival that had blue cheese and you got some, but little did you know, it was actually a trap by your arch nemesis to lower your guard so your nemesis could set explosives everywhere. By the time you caught on, it was too late, and the whole carnival blew up. You were the only survivor. And you can still smell the smell of burnt blue cheese

uhhhhh

you all severely wish to drive a purple chevy impala at 61 mph in a 55 on the highway. you wish to accomplish this by any means necessary.

am i being hypnotized????

the way chapter 6 is already at 5k words and i haven’t even gotten to the meat of the chapter yet is so crazy

EIGHT THOUSAND WORDS and i’m STILL not done

if i get to 10k i will split it into two parts but they’re both going to be published around the same time probably

i'm about ready to start writing the huntlow grom fic based off of the art you made. do you have a specific title you'd like for it?

omg no i don’t really, i leave it all up to you!! also that’s so cool??? omg????

dandelions deserve more respect than they get

you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”

The dandelions aren’t gonna fuck you bro

they have and they will

the way chapter 6 is already at 5k words and i haven’t even gotten to the meat of the chapter yet is so crazy

somebody sent me a pm not that long ago and while i’ve already answered them i thought it would be a good idea to air out some of the thoughts ive had about writing Shallow Waters since then

like in the original show, both hunter and willow are sides of the same coin. hunter oscillates wildly between fearing and being fascinated by faeries, most especially willow. at the point of the story that we’re in (chapter four, leading into chapter five) hunter had been raised to evaluate people based on their use to him and their perceived “rank”. hunter has only just barely begun to acknowledge willow as a full and complete person besides her identity as a faery and source of knowledge, and that’s because he is forced to reckon with the fact that SHE is just as afraid of him as HE is of HER, and she can and will hurt him if he ever poses a genuine threat. he is FORCED to respect her, and that catalyzes in hunter a respect for faeries in general.

willow, compared to hunter, has so much more to lose in their friendship. she is keenly aware of how being a selkie puts her in massive social danger, not only just by humans, but by other faeries. selkies, in the perspective of most tír na nÓg-based faeries, are more closely related or allied to humans than they are to other faeries. most selkies are born without an innate ability to perform magic (willow is unique due being a quarter faery by blood) and can easily pass for human. they often take (or are taken as) human partners, and, up until very recently (in the story) were not allowed to take residence in tír na nÓg. willow doesn’t fully fit in anywhere. she knows that if hunter ever discovers that she knows how to procure a selkie’s coat, she will lose their friendship AND the only aspect of her identity she gets to choose for herself. not only that, she would be responsible for the death of the selkie race, as no children she ever had would be born as selkies, capable of carrying on the tradition.

willow NEEDS to make hunter like her, respect her, care about her, because if she doesn’t, she has no power. she will become nothing. hunter needs the coat, needs her knowledge, needs her friendship, because he will cease to be useful if he doesn’t get it. that’s where they’re at right now. they can’t really have an quality romance until all of those problems can be resolved.

i need to draw something tonight or i’m going to go insane

Tag game🎉

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!

For my name it was a nickname I was giving back in middleschool! One of our teacher had a system where we worked with 'wifi' eachtime we talked in class we lost a bar of the "wifi" (was a weird joke and we never held count on that) All the kids usually joked if they needed 'wifi' , they would borrow mine if they wanted to talk more. (I was incredibly shy in middle school, I only talked to like 3 people at school;^;)

They called me Ms. Wifi because of that. I just thought it would be funny if I put 'miss' instead of 'ms' because of my terrible actual wifi connection I have at home lol.

That's my story! Now moots, only if you guys want to, tell us your story.

I watched a video essay on the Brony dating sim scam by Izzzyzzz, and they mentioned a game trailer starring Sam "Psychoactive Charm" (an appropriate handle seeing as how the visuals were trippy as hell!). It was the most insane "game" trailer I had ever seen.

When I downloaded PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator, I repurposed the handle from the trailer as the name of my in-game YouTube channel. However, I switched the word "psychoactive" with "psychedelic" because the latter invokes the psychedelic subculture that originated in the mid sixties. Surreal images, bright colors, animation, rock music inspired by mind-altering drugs. It was a lot!

Anyway, I eventually used the name for my real YouTube handle (up until that point I have used my actual name). I'm not sure why I spelled it with a hyphen when I started this account; maybe it was to separate the two words because I couldn't use spaces, but that's not important.

@happinessismagicc @sweethoneyrose83 @melissaduck (and her side blog @blood-and-pizza) @miljandeerus-06 + anyone who sees this and wants to join!

I made this OC, Marshmallow, in a FNaF Roblox game, and at the time there was a glitch where you could fuse the dragon morph with anything else, and I happened to pick a rabbit. So I had this dragon-rabbit hybrid, and ended up using her as my main sona. The word "draco" sounded cooler then "dragon", so I became TheDracoBunny. (Side note, this is also where my chosen name Draco comes from, since my friends started shortening my username). Anyway I lost the password to my old account, and that username @thedracobunny still exists I think, so I added "its" to the front of my new one, and here I am!

That was long sorry

@little-dreamer5 @lavender-w4ters @goldenstarofthunderclan @sylveon-and-velveon I'd be interested to know where yours came from :3

When I was young, too young to have unrestricted access to the internet, it was a goal of mine to have a successful youtube channel called Little Dreamer. I'm honestly not sure where I got the idea, but I think it was related to Dream!Sans from that Undertale AU. And now most of my online aliases stem from that name. (I did later make the channel but luckily it failed, lol)

the 5 is because it was the first variant of the name that wasn't taken, naturally

Ooh fun question ty for the tag!!!!

Tried to use my Discord username and I'm pretty sure it was already taken. About 3 seconds of thinking about how to still sort of keep my name and have it unique enough to use here, and Soxinthesun it was! (Most of my usernames are made up with very little thought lol)

Sunsox, the original name, was found when I closed my eyes and typed haphazardly in the shape of a star which is my favourite shape 💫💫

My equally haphazard recreation :

No pressure gang just do it if u wish!!!

i was coming up with a username for Minetest (Minecraft ripoff) at the ripe age of 8 and I wanted something Random XD™ so... chickenwaffles

But then I tried to make my Tumblr account and some FUCK had already taken the username, so I put 17 at the end because I like that number 😀

@ana-the-light-fury @cinnamon-phrog @thekittyburger @chocolategothwolfhorse @reinafish @andietries @sticks-stones-sonic-insanity @mygoogledrivescaresme no pressure you guys!! Also if you weren't tagged but you wanna join in that's all good!

Well, for mine I wanted the name “Ana” in there somewhere, mostly to make it obvious what people could shorten my name to for people to address me by. And when I first made this account, I was into httyd, hence the “light fury” part haha.

Half my entire personality is just the fact that I wear a vest

I'm obsessed with blue orchids in Minecraft for some reason so I decided to make that my username when I was like 13 and I've stuck with it ever since

@tallestgrace @thereweredragonshere (no pressure to reply to this btw)

I don't actually really remember if I'm being honest. It was firstly my ao3 name before I joined tumblr, and I remember that was literally just a 'oh shit gotta think of a new username," so I created it on the spot. I think I might have been doing some fantasy map creating that day so the phrase 'here be dragons' was fresh in my mind???? Not sure lmao

okok so originally I would use the name Quickstream for everything, cuz it was my warrior cats sona when I was a wee lad. Then I started jokingly adopting a ton of my online friends, so they started calling me Quather, as in father but starting with a Q!

I've been taking latin class in school with the same group of students since 6th grade, and a lot of my friends ended up being in it.

Rana/Ranae means frog/frogs in latin, and it sounds similar to my irl name. I just thought it was cute and began using it for art-related stuff :)

No-pressure tags:

Mine comes from an old instagram username, Honeybee, and I was taking beekeeping classes when I came up with it. Apiculture is the practice of maintaining bees!

okay i have never been a person for fancy labels or anything, i usually call myself “queer” or “lesbian” because that’s what i’m comfortable with but recently discovering im what’s called “grey romantic” has helped me a lot with feeling okay with myself and that’s cool i guess
