Hello everyone! I am Poki, or Pokichu, or mayhaps a silly goofy nickname. Hell, considering my blog name I wouldn’t be surprised if people started calling me Autism or something.
Anyway, this is a side blog. My main blog is @pokichusramblings , this blog is all about my fandom nonsense.
Right now my main fandom is MCYT, so I’m posting a lot about it and my AUs for it. But I’m into other stuff so I will post about other stuff as well.

Commission status: OPEN, DM FOR DETAILS

My AUs:
Magical Girl AU
This AU is focused on Hot Guy and Cute Guy as heroes of the city. But they are magical girls! Shenanigans ensue.
i like the idea that the life series is the horrifying torture angst fest fanon makes it out to be but only for Martyn. everyone else is there willingly like, yeah that's my buddy Grian's death game, he needs violence and chaos to survive, but its a good time all around. they do not know that martyn is experiencing The Horrors
you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.
So who was going to tell me that the reason I can’t properly engage with fandom is because of the Autism Trauma?! Was I supposed to just FIGURE THAT OUT MYSELF????
Also I don't think we talk enough about the way people talk to Scott and Cleo about their relationship in Double Life. Multiple people asking about their real soulmates in a tone that implies they think they should be with them instead of here 'playing pretend', BigB trying to console Scott that there's "still hope" for Scott to be with his real soulmate even though Scott had been so clear about not wanting that, Jimmy outright being almost aggressive and calling out their "fake" relationship? Some of it was well meaning. Some of it..Wasn't. Neither Pearl nor Martyn took it well either, and while a lot of that was understandable (specifically on pearl's end) they were in fact both pushy about it to a degree that was understandably upsetting to Scott and Cleo. Like. Scott and Cleo truly dealt with so much shit for choosing to be with each other instead of who they were 'supposed' to be with.
It mirrors the way real world people push amanormativity on queer people. The implication that someone’s relationship isn’t “real” for whatever reason, and the shaming of that relationship, is something that many queer people experience in the real world.
Another year, another Hermit-a-Day May! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring this event to you all for the third year in a row.
THE RULES:
1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day.
2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.).
3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June.
4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog.
5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves.
6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it's pretty easy!
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are once again out here for a good cause: we're running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by nine amazing artists.

BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT
FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 4th
HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?
OUTFIT SWAP - May 9th
What would Doc look like in Cleo's Life Series leotard? How would Cub fare in Wels's armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo's suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz's? Only hilarity can come from this...
GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 14th
This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?
FAVORITE BUILD - May 18th
The Hermits have put thousands of hours into their builds, from cozy starter bases to the sprawling halls of Deepfrost Citadel, from idyllic natural landscapes to machines the size of mountains. Which builds have inspired you?
TFC - May 23rd
While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.
FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 28th
There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.
not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.
