Hey, I'm Bunny! I like to write and draw stuff sometimes.
I'm a multi-fandom nerd with a love of cheesy romance and horror. Some of my work is not suitable for all auidences, and will be tagged accordingly. You are free to block/not engage if you are at all uncomfortable with sensitive topics, but please do not come here to start an argument. Just be kind to people. ❤
Wanna check out some of my stuff? 👇

My youtube video recommendations struggling to keep up as my target of hyperfixation switches by the day:
what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.
Yeah the thing is, when you're a kid, there are often a lot of people going out of their way to make things fun for you: parents, other family members, your friends' parents/families, adults at school and at community places like libraries...and that's on top of your friends your own age, and the general fact that as a kid having fun is one of your top priorities.
And then if you go to college, there aren't quite so many people making things fun for you--although there are RAs, and the student life office, and various clubs and organizations doing activities, etc.--but you're in an environment where your friends are nearby and you all have similar schedules and responsibilities, so a lot fun just kind of arises spontaneously.
But once you're out on your own, in the workforce and whatnot, all that just drops of a cliff. Planned activities for adults exist, but you generally have to seek them out, rather than having them relentlessly advertised to you and/or taking place in locations where you will bump into them on the way to breakfast. And your friends are all spread out, and everyone's busy at different times, so you aren't just bumping into people and getting sucked into whatever adventure they have going on, you have to make arrangements.
It's a big shift! If you have kids, you generally figure out pretty quick that your role is now the Planner Of Fun, but without that big obvious signpost, it can feel like the world just gradually stopped having fun things in it.
But it hasn't; you just have to plan and seek out opportunities for fun yourself, because it's no longer anyone else's job to put them in front of you--it's yours!
TL:DR, when you're an adult you've got to take yourself to the aquarium and pick out a plushie in the gift shop and pay for it with your own credit card; you don't just wake up one day and find out that's happening. (Or that it's a have-dinner-on-a-picnic-blanket-in-the-living-room day, or that you're going to your cousins' house where you can splash around in the creek and look for frogs, or that's it's the day when we put the speakers in the window and let the music echo in the alley down below while we wash the car, or anything!)
“how to recognize AI in fanfic” — hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. it’s using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.
writing “long” paragraphs is not a sign of AI — it’s a common narrative choice many writers make both in fanfiction and in traditionally published novels, and AI stole it from us.
using an em dash is not a sign of AI. it’s a stylistic sentence choice that’s been an option in place of commas and semicolons for a very long time, and AI stole it from us.
long sentence structures are not a sign of AI, but are yet another stylistic choice writers often make to create a cadence and tone that mimics the flow of poetry, and AI stole it from us.
“YA narrative breaks”? i don’t even know what the fuck this means, but i can guarantee that AI stole it from us.
italics are once again a stylistic choice that many writers love to use to create emphasis, and it’s a more stylistically acceptable and traditional form of emphasis than bold or underline text. oh, and just to be extra clear: AI STOLE IT FROM US.
stop creating fandom witch hunts over AI when you know fuck all about what it means to sit and write a story, and to spend hours fiddling with sentence structure and dialogue to get the exact right tone. writers will stop writing out of fear that their work “sounds like AI” — IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! — and after a while, all that will be available on AO3 is shitty AI-generated fanfiction.
because yeah, people are going to continue to use AI to write fanfiction whether you “call them out” or not. but making a laughable thread on X that uses asinine criteria is not going to fix that problem. it will just push the real writers out because people will accuse them of using AI when they haven’t, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.
anyway. fuck ai.
has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull
accidentally said "invasive thoughts" instead of "intrusive thoughts" today and actually I think I'm onto something. this thought does not belong here and it is harming the local ecosystem
It's kind of a sad revelation to have at 23 that, no matter what I do at this point in my life, nobody in my irl circle of relatives or friends will ever really love me "as is".
I'm always walking this fine line of expectations and invisible standards that I'll never be able to meet. And I've tried my whole life to meet them, only to come to the conclusion that I was never actually meant to. Those "standards" and "expectations" I grew up with only existed to make me feel bad about myself. And I can never really be myself, because these people will never want that version of me. I'm always too loud, too rude, or my facial expression is "wrong". I'm too distant, too clingy, too awkward, too much. Not enough.
i have a friend that, god love him, doesn’t photograph well. he’s very laid back but the problem is that his resting face looks absolutely fucking furious and he’s started to lean into it. me and my friends have a few group photos that look like this
things to say after fucking up egregiously
pack it up boys we've made a social blunder
let's run that again
one more time normal style
I'm going to become a statistic
further proof god is out to get me
it's because I tore my acl senior year
I couldn't do it for religious reasons
my ex took my talent in the divorce
good thing nobody saw that (said directly to someone who definitely saw it)
PSA: For fan works, reblog and like from OP
Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.
Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.
If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!
I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.
I have a panel interview today, first thing in the morning. My stomach hurtsss. 😭
sending love, support and appreciation to Archive of Our Own and all of their volunteers for everything they have been doing for the site, writers, artists, fans, readers, fandoms, everything. they deserve all the praise ♡
Shout out to some of my favorite moments that really highlight how, despite how perfect and sweet he is, kurosawa is still fucking unhinged
And somehow, despite the mind reading, adachi still doesn't know about this.
I thought kurosawa would get toned down after they got married, but boy was I wrong. I gasped when I saw this page. He is so weird and off-putting. <3
I CANNOT STRESS HOW WILD IT IS THAT ADACHI STAYED AT HIS HOUSE ONE TIME SO HE INVESTED IN A FUND FOR THEIR FUTURE TOGETHER!! A FUND HE ALREADY HAD, TO BUY THINGS HE COULD USE TO FANTASIZE ABOUT THEM BEING TOGETHER!!
THE MOST down bad person I've ever seen. 50,000 words!? That's a whole ass multi chapter fanfic!
Also he is so unhinged somehow getting married only made him worse (affectionate)
Anyway I love him <3 he's so crazy and off the wall insane but that's what makes him my favorite character.
NO. Get your filthy hands off of Naruto. 😭
Don't make me laugh. Seriously.
Got my tetanus shot the morning of my first day on center—which was apparently A Choice—so now I'm suffering through the rest of the week out of sheer willpower, having to drag my sore ass body up and down the stairs while we tour campus and go through introduction presentations, and hauling myself into vans I am too short for. I forgot how much the tetanus shot sucked. I feel like I've been shot in the legs.
Ok wrt recent asks about cultural worldbuilding, here's a drive folder with a very large collection of mostly nonfiction (~142 books right now), kept to a Very loose theme of history and social sciences, in pdf or epub format.
History (largely pre-modern period but not entirely), material culture, trade and economics, agriculture, magic and religion, folktales, (epic) poetry, natural history, ethnobotany, ethnobiology, kinship, animal social history, etc. Wildly variable mix of books for general readership and academic audiences.
This is assembled through a combination of PDFs I'd already accumulated, my library checkout history, reading list, and things I found in the process of making this. I have not read every single thing in here (some I’ve only read parts of, some I haven’t touched) and can’t attest to the quality of every book, this is just an assemblage of potentially worthwhile reading.
