I'm an international, university student who needs to pay my tuition fees for my Msc in Psychology in the UK. They're about £24,300 and I need to start working towards paying them off because my family is in a tough place financially.
What I'm offering are fiction writing commissions! I can do original content in general (OCs and the like) as well as fanfiction! I am okay with:
-Fluff
-Angst
-Hurt/comfort
-AUs
-Yumeships (Selfshipping and OC X Canon)
I am NOT okay with:
-Underage X Adult relationships
-Incest
-NSFW content
For fanfiction, these are the fandoms I'm most comfortable writing for:
-Genshin Impact
-Honkai Star Rail
-Twisted Wonderland
-Mobile Legends Bang Bang
Please send me an email on: [email protected] or DM me on Tumblr with the details of what you want and we can discuss things further. For yumeship and/or OC content, I would like to have a character sheet or a paragraph about your character/self-insert. After these details and the price has been confirmed, I will send a link to my PayPal for the initial payment.
Price List:
Minimum base:
500 words-£5.
Normal base:
1000 words-£10
You can add 500 or 1000 words on top of this, which would add £5 or £10 respectively.
Example: If you take base of 1000 words, that would be £10. If you want to add 500 words on top of this, making the word count 1500, the cost would become £15.
NOTE: I will either take payment fully upfront, or half when the commission is confirmed and half after it is delivered.
This commission can be delivered as a Word Document, A Google Doc, An Ellipsus link/document or a PDF. Please let me know what form you would want this in.
I take 1-2 weeks per order, with updates every 5 days. For fanfic commissions, if it's a fandom I am not familiar with, I may take more time. If I need more time, I will communicate this and share writing updates as well.
Please be detailed about what you expect from a given commission. If commissioning OC content, whether it is for original content or fanfiction/yumeship, I will need a character sheet about said character or at least a paragraph about them and a physical description. If you're asking for content from fandoms I'm not familiar with, I will need you to give me details and a little more time to do proper research and write.
All details to be sent here: [email protected] or to my DMs here on Tumblr.
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
please help spread this,Indonesians that are speaking up are actively being silenced.if you didn't know,Indonesians are protesting against their own government but instead of listening they decided to silence us by shutting down TikTok live in Indonesia since people are updating about the protest through there.Now the police are being told to harm the very same people they are supposed to protect. No one is safe. Recently,on 28th of August a 21 year old delivery driver named Affan Kurniawan was struck by a police vehicle not once but TWICE.the police vehicle stopped for a moment and ran him over again,what baffles me the most is that they said it was an "accident".there was also a video where one of the polices in the car was caught saying " Tabrak aja"(just hit them).people said that multiple people were also struck by the Police vehicle but I don't know if its true or not.recently in Jakarta mass shootings are actively happening,there were teenagers that got hit and died some weren't even joining in the protest.the police are also attacking the medical teams and journalists even though there's a rule to never harm or attack them.all of this isnt entirely the polices fault,it's mostly the politicians that ordered them to do it.it was also said that some of the d3ad bodies were even thrown into the lake.
Please pray for us and help spread this.
Like I said,Indonesians are actively being silenced about this situation.they are even planning to cut off the internet and electricity so whenever you try to record what's going on you will hardly be able to see anything.
You find Lauma on a nightly stroll by the shore of the Frostmoon Enclave. After snuggling up for bed, you find a familiar warmth with you.
The cold of Nod-Krai has begun to dawn on you. You shiver, looking up at the stars, giving yourself a light squeeze. The stars looked huddled together, as if they were combating the cold just as you were.
Maybe this stroll wasn’t the best idea, you sighed to yourself. Suddenly, a gentle light catches the corner of your eye, fading in and out of sight. You stare for a few seconds, mesmerized, trying to catch a glimpse of which direction it was coming from. Unsure, you decide to try and follow it to the best of your ability
Upon further approach, it was Lauma, the Frostmoon Scion’s Moonchanter. She’s highly renowned among the Scions, and her beauty snatches the air out of your throat. She turns her head at your approach with a light smile.
“Hello, Traveler,” she said gently. She was looking across the shore with a certain look in her eyes. You couldn’t quite decipher it, but to you, it looked like despair and fear.
“Hello, Moonchanter,” you reply. She giggles softly, shaking her head.
“No need for such names. Please, just call me Lauma.”
You chuckle slightly, embarrassed by your formality. You can’t help but stare at her prominent features. Her antlers were the source of the light you saw earlier, gently fading in and out of a light glow that illuminated her path. She was dawned with beautiful flowers, gathered by her furry friends. Her hair was a light shade of lavender that reflected the moonlight ever so perfectly. Lauma noticed your observations, and looked away slightly.
“What brings you out this lovely night, Traveler?”
“This is my first night with the Frostmoon Scions. I wanted to see the place you all call home.”
Lauma nodded approvingly. You stare at her, noticing her gaze lower to her reflection in the water. Not wanting to ask what was wrong, you hold your breath before the sight of her took it away once more.
“Traveler… how often do you mourn your failures?” she asked gently. You thought for a moment -- then revisited memories about your sibling. Losing them to the Abyss… that was always a tough pill to swallow. Lauma looks at you with glossy eyes, then back at her reflection.
“I have a very big role to fill. I always wonder what the Moon Goddess would have to say of me, for I don’t think I have done enough for her approval. I am always afraid I will let down the Scions,” she says with less emotion than you anticipated.
“The Frostmoon Scions hold you in such high regard, Lauma. I’m sure that the Moon Goddess has all the more praise for you. I can’t think of anything that would lessen the Frostmoon Scions' thoughts of you."
Lauma looks at you with a soft gaze, accompanied by a slight smile. A light breeze passes through, intensifying the chilly air you already had to deal with prior.
“Traveler… would you mind staying with me for the night?” she asks, staring at you with big doe eyes. You look at her with a gentle smile, and nod with approval. The air has only gotten colder, and you can’t wait to snuggle up into a soft, cotton blanket.
The walk back to the Frostmoon Scions is quiet, accompanied by the occasional bird call. Lauma has her hands crossed behind her back, her face unwavering. You wondered what she was thinking about, but decided against asking. You could barely hear her footsteps against the cold stone as she walked. Her grace was unmatched, but it made you feel secure and quite safe.
Lauma set up an extra bed for you, making sure to give you extra blankets to combat the cold weather. You thank her with a warm smile and get cozy in the bed she prepared for you. It smelled of all kinds of fruits and, surprisingly, of home. As warmth washed over you, your eyes begun to feel heavy, and you succumbed to sleep and its dreams.
You couldn’t remember the dreams that occurred, but you awoke to the aroma of fresh fruits and nature behind you and a strong warmth. As you came to your senses, you noticed an arm around your waist and a warm stream of air on your neck. You jolted a bit, startled by the sudden presence.
It was Lauma, snuggled up behind you, enjoying your warmth. She stirred in her sleep and gently opened her eyes, looking at you. You looked at her, surprised to see her, but welcoming nonetheless. She was suddenly awake, trying to form sentences.
“Oh, Traveler! I’m so sorry, I was just feeling a bit cold…” her stammering continued. Laying there, confused as to how Lauma could be cold, she moved back to her own bed and snuggled back up, clearly embarrassed. You quietly giggled and felt warmth grow on your cheeks. You crawled back into bed, with a stirring in your stomach, and a gentle craving for Lauma’s warmth once more.
a/n : this is my first time writing any sort of fanfiction and my first time writing something in a really long time!! please let me know how you liked it and what i can improve on. apologies if any of the grammar/spelling is a bit off hehe..
nod krai and snezhnaya are NOT only based off russia please y’all i’m gonna lose my fucking mind
the slavics / baltics in nod krai:
“kyryll chudomirovich” (flins) is bulgarian, he’s based off a bulgarian painter from what i’ve seen and his name is an amalgamation of english words translating broadly to “miracle peacekeeper”.
lauma is based off the woodland spirit in latvian/lithuanian mythology of the lauma (laumé), from her deer appearance and love of nature it seems she’s based slightly more off the lithuanian characterisation—since in the latvian version she’s an assistant in birth and takes on the role as a spiritual foster mother to children who have lost their mothers.
“jahoda” is directly slavic, in czech and slovak, jahoda means “strawberry” and in polish, it means berry in general. it’s also just a fairly common surname in czechia, slovakia, and poland. and fun fact, berries were quite often given as gifts/offerings to our forest spirits (leshy/lesní muži) or as part of midsummer traditions!
varka’s name is confusing because it has multiple roots and varied meanings. in russian it means boiling / brewing / cooking, but it could also be a nickname from varvara (slavic form of barbara) which i actually find fucking hilarious so i’m taking that as canon.
if you cared even the slightest about the accuracies of culture in natlan and sumeru and went out of your way to complain or change it in your personal art/writing, i hope you share the exact same energy for slavic/baltic countries. our cultures are already stolen and belittled to nothing but either inferior to or adjacent to russian, we deserve our own identities and cultures to shine without it being related to the one country in eastern europe you know.
others:
the name “nicole” is common everywhere in europe and i don’t know enough about the character to understand if it’s just the general name or a deeper root. but you can’t go to poland and not find at least six women in the span of a few feet named nicole xD
aino’s name originates in finnland (like actually quite a few terms that i’ve seen pop up in nod krai), the name translates to “only one" or "unique", and it originates from finnish mythology, popularized by the national epic, the kalevala.
nefer is unrelated to any slavic or baltic mythology, her name is taken from nefertiti to mean “beautiful”.
columbina’s name (like the other harbingers) is based off a character in the italian “commedia dell’arte”, where columbina is the clever maidservant. her name also translates to “little dove.”
there’s more to the east than russia, china, japan and korea 📍
