Hi everyone. Something wonderful has happened.

I'm Neptune now!

[n3ptuuune]

for the fanfic ask game!

❤️ What is your favorite line that you’ve written in a fic? 🦋 Which character is your favorite to write? 📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?

Thanks for the ask!

❤️ My favorite line that I've written is, funnily, a borrowed one. It's this excerpt from Not If You Hold On:

"Tsu, is this alright? Tell me how tight you want me to hold you." "...As if I was about to fall off the face of the world." [...] "Can that happen?", Sanae asked. [...] "Not if you hold on."

This dialogue is almost verbatim from this foxes-in-love comic which stuck with me so much that I essentially structured the whole fic around it.

🦋 Kaguya, I think. I imagine her as a perfect mix of playful, silly, obnoxious and also charming, ethereal, thoughtful and contemplative. I like to mix these different vibes together a lot. AND she's p-pretty...

📚 Oh I'll give a couple: my friend Lottery57 (especially his Okina/Hina fics), this sappy sweet Utsuho/Reimu fic by a now anonymous author, and Stepping Stones by @inakyuuracies which is my favorite kagewaka fic :3

Because Tumblr is very English speaking and some ppl like France a little too much I just want to remind you of a few things:

- France abolished the Code Noir 2 months ago. That law project that said hey you can enslave, mutilate, kill, cross breed, etc. black people at will bc they're not people they're property ? Yeah. Abolished 2 months ago. We are in July 2026.

- the last human zoo closed its doors in 1994 in France due to social pressure. Not bc they were running out of business, no. Ppl still visited that place until it closed its doors. No, it was bc (black) French people were fed up. That human zoo was specialized in displaying black (presumed Congolese) people in fake huts in enclosures, for white entertainment.

- now while this might no longer be the case, when I was growing up, I went to a French school (as in. It was an international French School w the French flag n all) and the way we were taught French geography was that France has the biggest and largest access to the sea in the world. And they'd show us a map of France and its colonies around the world. It's all occupied indigenous lands. I don't know if they still teach that. I hope not. But they absolutely did until I graduated high school in 2017. Again, I write this on July 21st 2026, for the record.

Anyways that's all I have for now. Y'all don't hate France enough. Y'all need to hate France more.

i can't take minecraft fans

new update is perhaps the most significant update for the building community ever and i keep seeing people saying shit like "why didn't you add terracotta stairs and slabs too????" (which is almost fair!) and "mojang so lazy doing the bare minimum as always..."

ARE YOU HIGH?? the cushion alone is one of the most novel and versatile features added in a long while and there has been zero shortage of people being hyped about it and showing off all of its uses. and then on top of that you get the new cool autumn biome?? and stairs and slabs for all concrete and wool colors??

"these updates are so slow at adding content"- GOOD. this is how you wanna approach adding More Stuff to a game with both a gigantic playerbase and a shit ton of tech debt. if anything you should be critical of them piling on more features on top of the existing mechanics instead of reworking them (given that a lot of them suck)
