MistyTheDritten

I’m here for the mcyt and dragons. And maybe some Star Wars and Star Trek.

Welcome to my Tumblr!

I'm a fanfiction writer and like to draw fan art!

Feel free to send an ask about my writing, art, or anything else you feel like! I love getting asks about random stuff.

Honestly? I just love asks in general.

Here is the link to my Ao3 if you want to check it out!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

More about my art and specifics under the cut.

About my page

I'm both c! and cc! Dream-centric, so there is that. I do reblog some other stuff, but it's mostly other mcyt fanart. I try to stay out of discourse, but I will always tag it and put it under a cut so people who don't want to see it don't have to.

Edit: okay, the stuff about discourse has changed, but I think that’s the nature of being part of dtblr

My art falls into two categories: art of my fics and dragons.

My fics tend to be romantic with a fair bit of angst but always have a happy ending. I don't have a specific ship I write, but it's always about Dream.

I’ve started poking into other fandoms, and writing for them, but who knows where that will take me

All of my stuff is tagged with "Misty's things", or at least most of it is. I'm still figuring everything out!

I have added a tag called daily questions, where I ask a question a day to mutuals! If we are mutuals, feel free to ask to join!

About me

I'm from the Southern United States. I'm studying English with a minor in education, planning to get my master's in Library Science! I use she/her pronouns and am a legal adult.

I think that covers just about everything. Feel free to send me an ask if you have questions!

Adrian is a baddie yes but listen: what if Adrian and Grace are like. Alarmingly alike. What if Adrian is goofy and a little too argumentative for academia. What if they make outdated Erid pop culture references during major thrums.

Like just imagine Hail Mary makes it to Erid and leading the group of scientists/engineers is this beautiful blue-green Eridian exactly the color of Rocky's mate patch. They're charismatic, clever, overall pretty impressive...

And then they trip over their own legs in their excitement seeing Rocky again

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

Fandom is a party, not a market.

I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.

[everyoneinspaceisgay]

I hope they’re having a nice life

[ts-virgil-angst]

we absolutely are not and that unfinished fic haunts us to this day

[sensiblereblogifposts]

Reblog if that unfinished fic haunts you to this day

[should-be-sleeping]

You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.

[should-be-sleeping]

[should-be-sleeping]

Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌

[should-be-sleeping]

Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.

[should-be-sleeping]

I mean this with all due respect:

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.

Scheduling this for when weather starts warming up. Be careful swimming this summer

My son's tattoo hurt me deeply

When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship

This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read

[brawlcloud]

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

[monkey-cat-vivi]

He says, “I’m still the same person.”

I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”

[quasi-normalcy]

Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people

[moonachilles]

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

[nitewrighter]

Meanwhile Emily Brönte just said “We can make each other worse.” 

[theonlycabbage]

Mary Shelley said, "I can make him

ive been thinking about grace and eridian formalwear.... idk how to design clothes/outfits at all so this is me throwing random stuff at the wall

[draconym]

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

[aj-living-life]

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.

[aj-living-life]

Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp'd to the AI flier.

Writing tips:

“You feel the bulge in his pants” - implies that you are feeling some guy’s penis, may be sexy depending on context

“You feel the bugle in his pants” - implies that this guy has a military horn in his pants, invites confusing questions like why does he have that and how big are his pockets

[maple-seed]

Both options convey that he's horny

[cleo-fox]

How dare you be funnier than me on my own post

[theomnipotentfox]

If it's the snack chip he might just be corny.
