Hello and welcome!

You can call me many things: Kit, Bird, or Mal are my main names! I am in my 30s, nonbinary (they/them), queer. Very ADHD.

My AO3: malachiical

Any ask box conversations will be tagged #askin answerin chattin.

Feel free to send me asks at any time, I am just really really bad about responding to them sometimes. It is 100% me, not you.

Also, feel free to @ me if you want me to see anything!

I tend to hyperfixate on a fandom or two at a time, while and usually one or two ships for said fandoms, while also being into some other fandoms and ships! Also, I am honestly in fandom for shipping, so my OTPs are my main engagement with fandom. I love a whole lot outside of them but they are where my brainpower and energy often lie!

I also adore music.

What I am currently very, very normal about, soooo normal:

Bugsnax (I LOVE FLOOFTY FIZZLEBEAN, and also Snorpy Fizzlebean and Filbo Fiddlepie, and also pretty much every character...)

Hazbin Hotel (especially Baxter/Sir Pentious(/Cherri Bomb), but I'm also into Angel Dust/Husk, Baxter/Valentino, Carmilla/Zestial, Valentino/Vox, and a few other ships here and there!)

How to Survive Camping (especially Beau/Kate, aka CupKate, aka the QPP romance of all time)

Keroro Gunso (aka Sgt. Frog; especially Kururu/Saburo Mutsumi, but also Dororo/Kururu and sometimes Tororo/Zoruru)

The Last Halloween (especially Doctor Fugue/Robert and Eugene Otto/Robert; I could also ship some other stuff among the adult characters, and I adore any combination of Mona & Robert & Shirley as platonic friendships tbh)

Vaesen (really, really cool TTRPG mystery-folklore-horror setting!)

Also currently interested in to varying degrees:

Helluva Boss (not really fannish about it in the way I am Hazbin Hotel, but I do love Asmodeus/Fizzarolli and Blitzø/Stolas a whole lot!)

Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! (PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE. I'm super into Velma Dinkley/Jonathan Crane. yes.)

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (ALL THE CHARACTERS, I do also find Kanamori/Mizusaki super cute, but oh my god I just love these gremlins in general, both anime and manga)

Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium (I love Chonny Jash's other songs, but Heart/Mind has me in a chokehold wow)

Slay the Princess (especially Cold/Paranoid, aka ParaCold, aka Goosebumps; I am into a lot of other ships involving other characters but this is my OTP of all time for sure)

DC Comics and related (especially Riddler/Scarecrow, Mr. Mind/Dr. Sivana, and Music Meister/Ragdoll II)

Don't Starve (Together) (especially Maxwell/Wilson, Wes/WX-78, Wormwood/WX-78, and sometimes Wilson/WX-78 and Wortox/WX-78!)

Monster of the Week, Kult: Divinity Lost, Spire: The City Must Fall, Call of Cthulhu (just some other TTRPGs I adore!)

Various bands (Charming Disaster, VoicePlay, Ado, English Vocaloid & SynthV producers like Ghost and Pals, RIProducer, and fluorolime)

Wait wait wait what do you mean Otto wipes Subaru's snotty, tearful face with a handkerchief in the new three idiots story??? Holy shit Ottosuba stock is rising ┌(┌^o^)┐

Update: Sagawa-san drew Subaru with water dripping down his hair + his bangs down, and Julius putting glasses on him??? Like, why him?? Is Sagawa-san lowkey our comrade....?

Update update: Sagawa-san deleted the art......?

I am doing whatever the opposite of locked in is .

[taavicleric]

I am locked out. I am in the parking lot. The rain is coming.

[salty-an-disco]

last year I drew a contrahero pride piece, this year is skeptunist's turn

happy pride!!

[dannydedoodles]

You should draw the three idiots (otto, garfiel, subaru) I dont think ive seen you draw otto and garfiel before 🤔

ALTERNATIVELY: Subaru and beako

Three braincells between them and Otto holds all of them

[heirstothestars]

happy pride from julisuba

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

[nargneppon]

[shiropoint]

This is mesmerizing to watch.

[fuu-dog-treats]

actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this

Holy………..shmokes…….

Oh?? My god??

I’ll try my best to describe this. It’s a video with a mash-up of a bunch of different Disney movies, set to a song that’s a mash-up of a bunch of other songs. That in and of itself wouldn’t make it praiseworthy, but this is DONE SO WELL that just, holy cow.

[drawnsnake]

HOLY SHIT

[cell113]

Every time I see this, I HAVE to watch.

It is Law.

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

remember the era of mario party where donkey kong was framed as a sort of saint/angel figure in opposition to bowser. reliably & consistently events & game elements associated with dk would be like, direct opposites of those associated with bowser, but like, more than just being an explicit mechanical counterpart to bowser, dk was often suggested to be in some kind of infinite (manichaean?) struggle against him-- game mechanics associate them with night & day, have them switch places with each other (castaway bay, the way the dk/bowser spaces work in mp8, & of course clockwork castle where theyre all but transforming into each other), their actions in general border on divine interventions to turn the tide of a battle (which can jostle against each other, eg the train car stuff from mp8)... & like, the result is that wanton misfortune is signified by flames & spikes & enormous castles, in contrast to divine providence, which is signified by. palm trees & bananas. the devil is in hell, & god is in a tropical jungle. this was the status quo for 4 numbered entries
