not even going to try and tell you what my music taste is, it changes on a whim
I post pjo works and some lotr stuff on Ao3 too under Melz_367, or there's a link at the bottom :D
I have discord; if you would like to chat, I'm all for it, and feel free to message me and ask for my discord if you would like to talk! Again, NO COMMISSIONS, I'm really rather broke.
Posting drabbles, funny reblogs, teasers and snippets of my work, random shit my brain thinks up and other crap (my hyperfixations change like the wind, just warning you)
I do a lot of reblogging, and I often queue things because it's easier for me. Anything that's been queued has the tag 'queue' and all reblogs have the tag 'reblog' attached. Everything that's my posting or relates to my actual ao3 fanfic writing is tagged 'melz yaps', and asks are tagged 'ask' or 'anon ask'. I am also often dragged into tag games, normally by my fabulous moot @/whispersinthetide (she's very cool, do follow her) and so tag games are tagged 'tag game' or 'tide chaos™'. Filter if you so desire, I highly doubt anyone wants to see everything I put on here <333
LINK TO THE POST ABOUT TLOASA OTHER POVS <333
bit of an odd one cuz I don't normally do anything political or contraversial where I can, but I found this post recently about Noah Schnapp and I thought it was really enlightening and I'd recommend reading it just to highlight some important things about online media and celebrity socials, whether you're a fan of Noah or not <3
I am (I think) bisexual, but either way it's LGBTQ+ friendly here :)
And.... yeah.

pirate mike whose crew pulls up a trio of sailors dressed in very fancy clothes and his right hand, dustin, throws the three of them onto the deck. will lifts his head, peeling his eyes open on to be met with the tip of mike’s sword. both his and mike’s eyes widen slightly, his grip on the sword faltering. will takes advantage of mike’s hesitation and lunges forward, knocking mike onto his back. will pulls a dagger from his waistcoat, pressing it against mike’s throat. lucas and dustin draw their guns immediately, muzzles pointed at will’s head.
“make one wrong move and i’ll slit his throat,” he says to lucas and dustin. lucas begins to cock his gun when he feels cold metal pressed against his neck, and turns to see a full head of bright red curls, eyes snapping to dustin to find him in the same position, a pretty girl with full brown curls blowing in the wind, pressing her own gun into dustin’s side.
“i think we’ve found ourselves in a very tough situation here, boys,” will says, standing and picking up mike’s sword and putting it in his own sheath.
“you’re— you’re william. like, william byers.” mike sits up, staring at will. he can’t believe his eyes, face to face with the most feared and powerful pirate in the seven seas.
big BIG fan of hardened hero/vigilante types having regular but non-negotiable fears. especially when those hardened hero/vigilante types are the batfamily. because as much as those guys are seen as cryptids and unbeatable legends that somehow manage to beat every meta around them without breaking a sweat, they are just. a group of guys. and i think that’s very fucking funny and people should be reminded of that more often.

*the JLA holding a super important strategy meeting in the batcave*
Batman: -the main priority is to ensure the safety of the surrounding area even in the case of a fight, so we’ll have people stationed around the perimeter just in case. Hood, can you grab me the signal flares from the store room? you’re closest.
Red Hood, walking over: *grunts*
Batman: *continues to explain his plan as in the background Jason walks into the store room, pauses, and then promptly walks right back out*
Red Hood: *sweetly, from the doorway* Robin?
Robin: mm?
Red Hood: would you like to go into the store room for me? my darling, favourite brother-mine?
Robin:
Robin, eyes half-lidded: is there a spider in there?
Red Hood: maybe.
Robin, sighing in exasperation as he starts walking over: you really need to start trying to deal with these yourself, Hood. you can’t call me every time-
The Flash, watching Damian emerge with a small spider in the palm of his hand while Jason refuses to come out of the corner of the cave: doesn’t that guy chop peoples heads off sometimes…?

*Aquaman, on a mission with Nightwing and Batman, on a platform in the middle of the ocean*
Aquaman: if you have your rebreathers then you can follow me down, it’s not too deep a dive to the site.
Nightwing: *staring into the water* mhm.
Batman: *watching Nightwing in amusement*
Aquaman: …Nightwing, are you ok?
Nightwing, still staring: oh- hm? yep. yep, i’m good. i’m- yeah. lets go. lets do this.
Aquaman:
Batman: he has thalassophobia. he doesn’t like deep, empty waters.
Aquaman:
Nightwing: *staring down*
Batman: *faux shoves Dick forward, as if to push him in*
Nightwing, shrieking and jumping back: bRUCE- I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT-

Superman: the victim’s in that room, if you need to examine the body.
Red Robin: got it, thanks.
Red Hood: so what actually happened to the guy?
Superman, as Tim leaves: well, it seems like the virus infects the mind and causes intense delusions. we think he was driven crazy and ended his own life. it’s… not pretty in there. he stabbed himself in the eye with a pencil.
Red Hood: *whistles* *pauses* wait. in the eye?
Superman: yeah. why?
Red Hood:
Red Robin: *slams out of the other room, falls to his knees vomiting*
Superman:
Red Hood, watching Tim calmly: yeah he’s got this thing about things in peoples eyes?
Superman:
Superman: really?
-
Green Arrow: shit, that’s a nasty scratch you got there, Bats. right across the eye, too.
Batman: *grunt*
Green Arrow: who’d you fight to get it?
Batman: Robin.
Green Arrow:
Green Arrow: Damian did that?
Batman: hn.
Green Arrow: …why?
Batman: he had a cavity and i had to take him to the dentist.
Green Arrow:
Batman: he’s scared of the dentist.
Green Arrow: wasn’t he raised by the league of assassins?
I hope to achieve the level of peace this flower Quit has.
(Here's part 1 for anyone who hasn't seen it)
💬 13 🔁 593 ❤️ 1005 · Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream but with 60 clones of the same guy · I've been loving the hell out of Living the Dre
Part 3 is out!
I posted the first day of my little "60 of the same guy in one island" experiment expecting absolutely nothing. But oh my god, you guys absolutely LOVED Quitland and the 60 Quits! So of course I'm following up with day 2, and boy howdy did things sure...happen...
When I started this experiment, one of the things I was really hoping for was for some of the Quits to really make a name for themselves. As in, they'd become so memorable that I'd remember specific Quits and what number they are. Well...that definitely happened today.
Meet Quit 35.
do not be fooled by her cute stance.
This Quit did absolutely nothing yesterday, all she did was ask for some clothes. But this morning she decided it was her time to shine by falling in love with Quit 38:
She did so by accidentally bumping into her, how romantic...or so I thought. If this was all Quit 35 had done I wouldn't have bat much of an eye...but then literally FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Don't be fooled: they may look identical, but this is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT QUIT Quit 35 is falling for! Quit 10 to be exact!
Quit 35 spent a grand total of 5 minutes being interested in 38 before falling in love with a completely different Quit! I couldn't believe my eyes! To decide which Quit she should have a crush on, I flipped a coin and it landed on Quit 10. So poor Quit 38 didn't even know a Quit liked her before 35 changed her mind...What's her goal? Is she an alluring Quit attempting to create her own Quit harem? Or is she just really fickle? Are these "romantic bump incidents" all just fabricated by 35?!? Needless to say, I had my eye on 35 all day...I guess we'll have to wait and see what she does tomorrow.
To make this even more confusing, 35 constantly had an entire mob of Quit following her around...I guess they were as curious about 35 as I was...or are these members of the 35 harem?!?
OK, enough about 35. Let's move on to some other Quit developments, starting with Quit 48 and Quit 28. I talked briefly about these two at the end of yesterdays post, and all I had to say was 48 had a crush on 28. The two weren't even friends yet, but today...
28 wanted to be friends with 48! 48 didn't even have to do anything for their crush to get some development, how nice!
I hope it works out for 48. Go for it, 48!
...Because our current relationship between Original Quit and Quit 3 is in a bit of a sour spot...
I'm not sure what's going on between these two, their conversation is apparently sickeningly sweet...but Quit 3 is "not getting along" with Original. I haven't seen them fight or anything, and Original LOVES 3...so I'm not sure what that's about.
It's so bad, Original Quit is on par with 40 and 2 on the relationship chart, who are just acquaintances! That's rough.
(Oh, and I've been giving some Quits little quirks as they level up, usually befitting of the actions the Quit has taken. Quit 3 was the first Quit to establish a sweetheart, so I figured the cute stance fit them. Although now I'm not so sure...)
Other then relationship stuff, I decided the reason my Quits were so stupid yesterday was because they lacked culture. Maybe some high quality media will expand their minds and make them less simple (spoiler alert: it didn't). So as their benevolent God/friend/father, I decided to bless my children with Quit Culture.
^ This one I had actually made yesterday during the tutorial, but I was so tired it looked like shit. So I redrew it today.
(If you guys have any funny ideas for custom items of any kind, let me know and I might make them!)
Oh...and...uh...one of the Quits asked for a pet...so I...
I don't think we need to discuss this further.
...Anyways, I realized yesterday the video I added didn't include any speaking Quits. So you guy have no idea what they sound like. How about I fix that:
...I'm not sure what you were expecting Quit to sound like, but it probably wasn't this.
Finally, the last major thing that happened today was that I got curious. I've spent the last two days interacting with Quits every few hours, so plenty of Quits have gotten something unique to their name. Whether that be clothing, a new house interior, friends, etc etc...but has EVERY Quit asked for something?
I decided to look through every Quit and find the most untouched Quit...the most perfect, untainted Quit...and I found...
Quit 45 has not asked for a single thing. They haven't had any interest in other Quits nor have any Quits had interest in them. They haven't had a problem that I needed to deal with, they haven't wanted a style update or some food...they are completely blank. I believe they are the only Quit who's like this, so we'll have to see if Quit 45 continues to be blank or if they find a niche to fill.
That's all the big stuff! A decent bit happened today, I'm still absolutely loving this save file so I don't plan to drop it any time soon (although I'm not promising daily uploads, you know how life can be).
Yesterday I started the post with a multitude of Quits just doing random Quit things, so I think I'll end this one with a few more random Quit images:
And that's the end of that! I'm still blown away by the positive reception yesterdays post got, so I hope you all enjoy this one too! If anyone has any fun suggestions for me to try (like custom items or island designs) let me know, or if anyone has any questions about the island or any specific Quit I'm happy to answer!
As a thank you for making it all the way to the end, here's some gifs I made from videos I took yesterday. Use them carefully, as they hold immense power.
The core conceit of Lord of the Rings is pretty funny. You are a twenty three year old in a suburb of Maine. The little bracelet in your grandpa’s attic has an inscription on it that is the password to the world’s entire nuclear arsenal. It is up to you to walk to the only hydraulic press in the world, located in Arizona, before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and enslaves the suburb of Maine you currently live in
Also the 90-year old hobo that your grandpa beat in a rap battle for possession of the bracelet while hiding from the Romanian secret police really loved the bracelet because it was coated in small amounts of LSD and tried to hunt and kill your grandpa to get it back. He was then apprehended by the FBI and instantly gave them your grandpa’s address. Seal Team Six is about to break down your door and shoot you, says your local congressman who can also do cool magic tricks
There's a guy in NY who MIGHT be capable of destroying the codes but won't coz he simply wants to spend time with his wife. So it's up to your grandpa's old friend in rural Ohio to get you the friends capable of finishing the task.
Because even if you know a guy who knows some people with their own private plane, if you try to fly to Arizona you're gonna get shot down immediately the moment you show up on their radar. Fucking pay attention bro
@genbai, @wewillivetrougheverything, @nyx-n-natch, @nico-flo, @nova478372, @mekaruavenuememory, @shulkyshulker, @pretty-pink-seaslug and everyone else I’m moots with or following :3
Im bi with varying types of attraction to men and women cause sexuality is strange and different to everyone.
Im nonbinary but I mainly just say that cause it makes the most sense but I use they/them or he/him pronouns (either is good but most people just use they which i guess cause I dont pass well enough for he which I guess cause I sometimes dress more fem for the aesthetics not identity but internally I feel more masc) anyways theres my gender is confusing rant.
@justasillylittlehumanperson @gay-little-isopod @squirming-worms @white-zane @melz-367 @echothegeckoart +anyone I forgot
ooo @max15mae not to pressure you at all but would you like me to use he/him pronouns more? I've always just sort of gone with what you seemed comfortable with, but if he/him or he/they is more accurate, I'm more than happy to mix it up a bit!! <33
I'm cis female (she/her) and tell people I'm bisexual, but honestly I have no fucking idea. Been playing with the idea of aromantic recently? Questioning is probably the most accurate description, I'm having a minor sexuality crisis 👍🏻
open tags!! I've not got enough brain space to tag rn, so moots you have been spiritually npt-ed. <333
This is a record of all the chapters in TLOASA people might want to see rewritten from the pov of other characters. If you've got an idea, let me know!
Comment below any requests or suggestions, and I'll update the list as we go! Any character from The Life of A Short Archer is welcome, but some I'll be more familiar with than most, and a few I can't use for certain chapters for plot reasons, so please don't be upset if yours won't quite work! <333
