Anything I leave unfinished/you’ve let me know of beforehand is entirely available to be adapted, rewritten or continued however you please.
Let me know if you have any suggestions, issues, or information on fandom happenstances :)
Status update (duration 2 weeks (22/7-7/8)): Am on holiday in Europe, so +2 hour time difference, and possibly scattered content. Everything should keep running smoothly though :)
Content:
This is a joint fandom and personal blog!
My personal and writer themed posts are separated by the tags ‘Bella’s non writer posting’ and (shockingly) ‘Bella’s writer posting’ (or will be from now on/once I fully understand this hellsite)
I write on AO3 only, although I have the same name over on Wattpad, where I sometimes post art
Update schedule: Sundays, unless I've said otherwise. Multi-chapter or series works are a lot more erratic, but I'll try to leave a rough estimate in the most recent chapter.
Content warnings:
I apply the law of object permanence to any boundary discourse; that being that as soon as creator boundaries leave my immediate vicinity, they leave any part of my thoughts
Ergo, for my sake, don’t put them back into my immediate vicinity :)
Suggestive or problematic content at times, don’t like, don’t bother either of us over it
I have theoretically no limits on what I’ll write or talk about, so heed the tags, and be ready for basically anything (*may depend on my mood and mental stability)
Interactions:
Feel free to give requests, but unless its really interesting or something I’m kinda doing anyway, I might not write it
I like listening :3 infodump at me, theorise, anything that's on your mind or you want off your chest, go for it
Bad at initiating, bad at being on time for posts, good at lurking and providing weird positivity where you probably don’t expect it
Fandoms:
Lifesteal, Unstable Universe, Dream SMP (limited interaction), Hermitcraft, Life Series, Magnus Archives, DDLC, Scholomance, Arcane, The Sandman (graphic novels), SFAWTDE, Strength SMP, Kirby, Stardew Valley, LotR, HBG
Final notes:
Be weird at me! Be horny, be mentally ill, be excited or neurodivergent or pining or anything you want to be! I love you guys. I’ll be weird right back :D
Askbox, comments, DMs, whatever, open to anyone to submit anything. Art, a bad day, a good idea, literally whatever (no sex stuff please tho :P)
I love you <3 Never kill yourself.

vampire clownpierce is so underrated so here's a headcanon + clownzy
he never feeds off any of his allies, only really the people he defeats in combat, but as he's been having more fair fights, he's been able to feed less and less, and he ended up getting a lot weaker because of that, leading branzy to offer over and over but he kept turning him down until he had no other choice and they cuddled for hours while clown very carefully fed off him
So, at some point when Wemmbu and Zam hunt for Parrot and Wifies, Zam sings "Parrot and a Wifies~" right?
She said "a Wifies". While this is most likely to fit the melody it could mean a few things:
Wifies is just openly a clone.
He isnt openly a clone but some people noticed/know some stuff. Maybe Zam forced people to reveal that to xem although I'm not sure why'd they want this piece of information
Nobody except Zam knows. Somehow. He's just that cool.
Clone #509

Sorry I'm going insane my elgo keeps shattering
I think it's number 3, zam is goated, of course she would know...
sorry, im still thinking about the whole situation a little. i mightve already posted something like this the last time a big "boundaries" scandal happened, but i wanna say again just How Much i dont Understand Why this only seems to be a problem with newgen mcyters.
even back in dsmp this wasnt much of a problem at all, everyone just shipped basically whoever they wanted. you dont see this stuff happening in oldgen mcyter fandoms like hermitcraft/life series or whatever. back then if two mcyters were shipped theyd JOKE about it and lean into it for fun!! Because they understood that it WAS just for fun and didnt take it too seriously!!!!!!
i think the problem is that newgen mcyters nowadays dont know how to appropriately separate themselves from their youtuber personas nor can they distance themselves from their audience (i dont mean that they should ignore all their fans, but i mean they shouldnt let themselves go as far as actively interacting with them directly either).
its become so much easier to have Access to these content creators and for Them to have access to their fans that the line between fan and content creator sometimes blurs, especially considering newgen independent mcyters are very young and probably a lot closer to their fans in age than youd think. they treat these fans like "friends" and treat drama relating to them as internal personal discourse rather than a problem between creator and audience.
this lack of separation causes them to take everything pertaining to them Way too seriously and Personally. they lack the experience and skills to handle these things professionally and adequately and it is really really apparent. Because What do you mean youre calling a whole subsection of your fans pedophile abuser rapists just because they make art of you that you dont approve of??? Those fans are probably like 14 Are You Hearing Yourself
it is normal for a fan (especially younger ones, which makes up the majority of them in this fandom) to consume your content and only see you as how you present yourself as a content creator, not actually how you are as a Person. they view you as entertainment because thats exactly what you present yourself as and how your content is meant to be consumed. your fans are then taking your content, and that Presentation of you by extension, into consideration and bending and twisting it as they like in their mind. Because thats just another way of engaging in that entertainment!!!! it has nothing to do with You as the Actual Person directly (note i am only talking about shippers who only create fiction, not actual weirdos who go out of their way to stalk/dox/harass content creators, which are a whole separate species). Get your head out of your ass!!!
to add onto the whole thing about ccs being too comfortable with their fans: i feel like a lot of them feel "justified" in doing so because "Oh Im not That big of a creator, Im just like You guys! Were the same!" when fundamentally that is just Not True.
even if you are close in age with your fans, even if you dont have that big of a fanbase, you are still a CREATOR and your FANS see you as such. there is still an undeniable power dynamic. i cant even begin to tell you guys how many fans ive seen suddenly become friends/mutuals/whatever with these creators just because the creators didnt know where to draw the line and kept on interacting with them and feeding into their parasociality.
yes, it is not unheard of for fans to become friends with creators they idolize, but it is certainly not Healthy and should never be normalized or justified. maybe you dont see the harm in it because they are "just making friends", and maybe not Every friendship that comes out of these dynamics turns out to be disastrous, but it is still fostering an unhealthy and unsafe environment for fans.
yeah it may not be a big deal if a content creator suddenly befriended someone their age and didnt do anything weird with them. but if this keeps on happening and keeps on being normalized, whos to say they wont befriend people younger and take advantage of them because they know other fans wont say anything about their weird proximity towards fans? and besides, even if a cc considers a fan a "friend", it doesnt mean that its mutual. the fan probably still sees them as Their Idolized Content Creator first and Friend second. its just so imbalanced. I swear you people never fucking think
Potentially stupid question, but I’ve always wondered what your pfp is of/what the full image is (only if you wanna share)
I am painfully aware the text is illegible on AO3 and probably here. It’s not my image in the slightest and honestly I don’t even know who made it. Found on Pinterest. Will credit if anyone does happen to know the artist.
There’s not too much of a reason for it aside from the fact that I decided I wanted to be blue and green for my online presence, and because, well… I want to keep adventuring. and I want to give my characters the same choice, and sometimes they chose not to. It’s just a nice idea.
pseud pfps under cut in case anyone wants those too :3
in order; BelleBerries (NSFW bookmarks and maybe my smut someday) for no particular reason, NightOwlNightshade (revision material) because I am Tired when I write that shit, and Atropa_isnt_the_end (non-DSMP) because when I made it exploring a new fandom felt like a really big and scary idea. I regret nothing :3
all found on Pinterest, all the same utter lack of knowledge of credits. I just like the pixel art style and the easily recognisable colour scheme tbh
