So a few years ago I had this idea where SY introduces DnD to QJP as "strategy training" and SQH ends up coming over every week or so to be the DM. (Ofc all of the scenarios are written by SQH) (under SY's supervision bc you can't trust that man) and SY helps with monster-related stuff and convincing YQY to let SQH spend more time outside of An Ding Peak (or smth idk)

Anyway 3 years later here's a short comic inspired by this idea

(MF plays the wizard, NYY the barbarian, and LBH the paladin)

✨just dragon slayer things✨

they're all hoarders. we've seen natsu's house, which is just a giant scrapbook. but i can see gajeel picking up loose screws off the pavement, wendy's pockets being full of shiny rocks and seaglass, or sting's house being filled with sun/light catchers.

they're always putting things in their mouths. wendy was a thumbsucker, laxus is a gum chewer, cobra is a biter, rouge chews the end of pencils when he's thinking and if natsu doesn’t have enough hands to carry something, he’ll just hold it in his mouth.

lizards are cold blooded, and while the dragon slayers DO generate internal heat (since they have human bodies) they're still drawn to the sun. lying in patches of sunlight like cats and sunbathing in the summer.

this carries over into winter, they get cold SO easily. they eat more in winter too, and laxus the diva won't ever take jobs in cold climates (that fur coat is fashion/function).

subtle or extreme emotions are almost always communicated through animalistic sounds. natsu and gajeel growl and roar, erik hisses, and while carla has mostly trained it out of wendy, if she's really surprised or scared the sound she makes is less like a human shout and more like a bark/yelp, or a whimper when she's sad or fearful.

they are very sensory seeking. hands in running water, standing in the breeze, stepping on the pavement a certain way, fidgeting, weighted blankets, jumping and hanging off stuff, listening to music way too loud.

this also means that have strong sensory avoidances. gajeel HATES getting his hair cut, natsu hates the feeling of heavy clothes, erik hates loud noises, rouge doesn't like bright lights (apart from sting's, since he's so accustomed to it), wendy is sensitive to sudden temperature changes

They're very protective of each other. they're like a pack. this also means that they're protective of each other's partners. rouge might not know levy, but he walks her home after late night trips to the library, completely silently. it unnerved her the first time, but now she enjoys the company and he lets her talk in any language she wants. laxus will watch dozens of people struggle to reach things only his giant self can without helping, but will pass things down for Lucy without her asking. wendy and freed's underrated friendship! he thinks he's taking care of wendy because she's his boyfriend's little sister, and she thinks she's protecting her brother's boyfriend - which results in them being drawn to each other in anxious situations, sitting next to each other in unfamiliar or loud places.

I'm so glad to see AO3 making it absolutely clear that none of these things are allowed to even be HINTED at.

Here's some of the language from the new post about AO3's police on commercial promotion:

There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3's non-commercialization rules.

Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:

Thanks for the coffee!

My ☕ username is the same as my username here

This chapter is brought to you by my patrons

You know where to find me if you want early or bonus chapters

Check out my Twitter to learn how you can donate to me since I'm not allowed to discuss it here

If you want to hear more about my ideas, talk about fandom, or find more of my stuff for a coin, visit my Tumblr

Solicitation is not allowed, whether it's for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

Here's the crazy thing, folks. You *can* day things like "My Tumblr is [username], come over and scream into the void about these blorbos with me!" And then plaster your kofi all over your Tumblr. You can say "Thanks to [someone] for suggesting this fic! I listen to people's suggestions all the time on Tumblr!" for literally any reason someone told you to write a fic.

It's not hard to filter out the things you shouldn't say based on environment. Back when I was in high school you'd hear about all the fun someone had that weekend, but they wouldn't say there was drinking and weed and throwing firecrackers into a campfire where a teacher or parent could hear them.

The reason we're not allowed to post monetary links or use any language alluding to it on AO3 is for our protection. If a copyright holder wants to sue a fan writer for making money or demand their work be taken down as "property" of the copyright holder, AO3's lawyers need to be able to defend us by saying money isn't being made and not perjuring themselves.

It's a LEGAL issue. AO3 has no issues with writers earning money. Just not directly via their platform. Not enough people seem to understand this. There's a very long history of copyright holders throwing their weight around and taking a hatchet to fandom spaces using legal backing, and we're trying to avoid that.

It's more than that though. It's not just about protecting their asses, legally. It's also about the principles and values upon which AO3 was built.

AO3 came out of an exlicitly anti-monetization fan culture. You will hear the founders of AO3 use the term "gift economy" a lot if you follow any of their socials, which is another way of saying "mutual aid economy."

AO3 is a non-profit organization built and coded and maintained by volunteer labor and charitable donations.

Understand that when you try to use the AO3 platform to monetize, you are not just monetizing your own labor as a fan creator. You are also monetizing the volunteer labor of everyone who built that platform.

And they will tell you that they are NOT OKAY with you exploiting THEIR LABOR, THEIR HOURS UPON HOURS OF CODING AND TAG WRANGLING AND ORGANIZING AND FUNDRAISING, for your personal gain.

Stop trying to sell books in the middle of a library.

Because the video is gone everywhere but my memories and reblogs.

[Video ID:

Two men crocheting, with text reading "When your friend gives you some tough love"

Kevin: "Wow Ryan, that looks so good!"

Ryan, hesitantly: "You think so?" He has the beginning of a crochet square on his hook.

Kevin: "Yeah!"

Ryan, after a beat: "its not as good as yours..."

The camera pans out to a long crochet chain of the squares Kevin had completed.

Kevin: "Oh, no, don't say that! Yours is really good too!"

Ryan: "Nah"

Kevin: "Ryan, i mean it. Your really good at this."

Ryan: "No, no..." Camera stays on Ryan as Kevin slaps him across the face. "Ow!"

Kevin, with a flat face in an authoritive tone: "Say it." Another slap, "Say your good."

Ryan: "okay! I'm good"

Kevin: "Say you love yourself."

Ryan: "Kevin, I don't need--" Another slap

Kevin: "Say you love yourself, maggot!"

Ryan: "Excuse me?"

Kevin then grabs Ryan by his shirt, throwing him to the ground "Give me twenty!" Ryan makes a noise upon impact with the ground.

Kevin, yelling: "Say you love yourself!"

Ryan, struggling to do push-ups: "I love myself"

Kevin: "Bullshit! Say it again!"

Ryan: "I love myself"

Kevin drags him up and holds him by the back of his shirt collar, the two facing a mirror, "Into the mirror, Private!"

Ryan, with more conviction but still under duress: "I love myself!"

"Pathetic!" He drags Ryan away from the mirror.

Kevin: "Repeat after me, maggot! I am a talented artist!"

Ryan, rushed: "I am a talented artist."

Kevin: "I am a beacon of light"

Ryan: "i am a beacon of light"

Kevin: "i am a sweet Jewish boy with a statuesque figure and a heart of pure fucking gold!"

Ryan, stuttering: "I-- I am..."

Kevin interrupts: "Just say yes!"

Ryan: "Yes!"

Kevin: "Yes what?"

Ryan: "Sir, yes sir!"

Kevin: "At ease!" He practically throws Ryan back into his chair and takes his seat back off-screen. His voice goes back to cajoling, "Good job buddy! Proud of ya!"

Ryan, in disbelief, after a moment of stunned silence: "What just happened?"

Kevin: "Just a little tough love."

Ryan, still shocked: "That was... amazing!"

Kevin: "Glad you feel better about yourself!"

Ryan, with more confidence: "I do! I feel great! You're... really good at that."

Kevin gives a dismissive "ch" and slightly shakes his head. "No, no..." Ryan slaps him.
