||{ they / them }|| just someone who wants to shout into the void, hoping it will one day echo something back. btw, do you know what they say about insanity?
somewhere out there, a writer is looking at the anguished keysmash and string of emojis you left on their fics and smiling. somewhere out there, somebody's shitty day has been made a teensy bit brighter because of you said you want them to update their writing. somebody who's feeling insecure about their story is sitting down to write a few more paragraphs because you said you loved their style.
you may have left a detailed paragraph about the structure of their sentences and their usage of extended metaphors. you may have also left a "COMPLETE PERFECTION. PLEASE WRITE MORE I NEED IT". we love you and need your validation more than oxygen nonetheless. 🫵 go comment on somebody's fic
I’ve been seeing that one floating around, and now that I see real people (you) that (probably) aren’t incels (evidence: we are currently on Tumblr, not Twitter or Reddit) actually liking it, I’ll (probably) go check it out
Nah don’t worry… I just have a profound bewilderment for people who are comfortable with blatantly misogynist-adjacent stereotypes and the like… and most of them have copious amounts of ✨ fan service ✨ ^^

Thank you @/chaseerr0rcode and everyone who got me to 50 reblogs!
(Everything written in this reblog came with the notif *sigh* but idk what to say so yeah. This was supposed to be like a ~meh~ statement but here we are)
Second: I dislike the feeling of oppression because not having your own freedom or agency is unbelievably scary
Third: many heterosexual couples have a consistently unbalanced power dynamic due to gender dynamics that society often tries to push
Fourth: many unbalanced power dynamics are never properly addressed or acknowledged, but rather taken as fact, as if it’s always supposed to be like that
Fifth: that dismissal + constant reappearance in fiction + media makes be feel dismissed and disregarded
Sixth: boys love also has many common unbalanced power dynamics, but is more often addressed or acknowledged since they are considered relatively equal in the gender spectrum, therefore similar expectations based from gender are equally shared
Seventh: active knowledge + consent makes me feel better than something assumed to always be the case, since that means that it is a conscious choice rather than something that may or may not have been forced onto someone
Eighth: something forced into someone shows a lack of freedom or agency in some aspect, or perhaps just callous ignorance
Therefore, I prefer to interact with/consume media with boys love since I feel more at ease
I sometimes feel that I'm not doing enough with my life, but at least I grew my first two arms significantly before a cactus would have been expected to.
Status update: obsessing over YJH’s swords and which I should use for cosplaying
!Spoilers ahead for anyone not caught up to around chapter 250 of manhwa!
Option 1: splitting the sky sword
- not used after Asmodeus broke it (right before First Murim tournament)
- can make “broken” so it can be easily assembled and disassembled
- less decoration
-black wrapping on hult
- flat hilt butt of hilt
- silver-esque vertical (jian-style) handguard
- regular silver sword, nothing fancy
- no known sheath appearance so I can just bs it
Option 2: black heavenly demon sword
- obtained after First Murim martial tournament
- more decoration
- tear-like butt (flat and less decorated in novel art)
- metal bands around hilt
- metal flourish near butt of hilt
- may or may not have black wrappings (novel vs manhwa)
- generally horizontal oval-ish handguard (katana-like) (generally gold in novel but sometimes has sword 1’s handguard, silver in manhwa and this one promo art)
- sheath shown in manhwa: decorated w metal bands at certain intervals (looks silver but could be gold-tinged)
- black-dyed blade w silver sharp edges (hence the black heavenly demon sword) (regular straight sword, nothing fancy) (only shown in novel art so far)
Option 3: regular ass sword
- during the period after sword 1 breaks and before winning tournament for sword 2
- not described at all, can’t find a trace of this
- theoretically could be sword 1 in novel art since it looks similar to sword YJH had around 3807 carriage (not sure if he had sword 1 at the time)
- very easy, could literally steal some internet design and no one would know
- can be interpreted as anything really
Option 4: heavenly sword of gathering clouds (yamato no orochi reward)
- probably abandoned by YJH after 73rd demon king ordeal (doesn’t rly appear again? I forget)
- blade may have ridges so this would suck to carry in hand all day (sheath would be difficult) (manhwa)
- vastly differing manhwa vs novel art ugh
- black + gold motif for manhwa (very fancy western style) (gold clover-esque butt cap, small triangular handguard)
- same old silver + black motif for novel (less fancy)
What I learned:
The novel art often isn’t too consistent and generally sticks to generic weapon designs (silver blade, plain black hilt)
(There are identifiable novel art traits tho, but seem to be used and forgotten from time to time)
Okay, finished the blueprint (literally just a sketch on paper) after like, 1-2 weeks of sitting on it. Because I can’t be bothered to correct it, the total length should sit at a comfortable 35 inches and 1 centimetre from my genius planning. I’d make it longer, but I’m pretty short ugh…
Plan so far:
Model the fucking thing (hopefully blender can use measurements…)
3d print everything in half (imagine blade sitting flat on a table)
Stick 2 wooden dowels in the pieces for rigidity + stability (1/8 inch) (fuck the pieces will just slide off won’t they…) (do i need supports??)
Glue pieces tgt w/ something, contact cement??? Idk whatever works atp
Sand shit
Give things coats of paint, etc. whatever
Scabbard/whatever it is
Half-ass a scabbard w/ cereal boxes + foam
OR
Make those holders that aren’t scabbards and the blade just dangles in the open with like, foam??? Or just buy a cheap one somewhere somehow (pls have EVA foam im gonna cry im invested now i must see this through) (id make something with leather but that would be expensive as hell for a beginner :/) (do i still buy genuine clasps and doohickeys???)
I made YJH’s classic neck buckle thing, so I just gotta make a leather collar to stick it on. It’s a lil scrappy for something made of stainless steel, but I’m pretty happy w it
I have 5/7 of my sword prints using PETG that I’m gonna throw together when I have more time. I drew the blueprint and commissioned a friend to model it for me, and got it printed at my nearest accessible 3D printer. Originally, it was supposed to be PLA, and my model was made for PLA, but I switched to PETG last minute due to supply and time constraints, and now the 1% shrinkage forces me to sand down the entire wooden dowel that goes thru all my pieces :laughcry:
I have some more leather that I plan on fashioning into a belt + sword belt/frog, but I still have to buy buckles, a hole punch, maybe a bevel cutter, and maybe some d-rings/clasps? Phewww so much to do
Oh yeah I gotta sand, prime, paint, and glue all my sword pieces to :laughcryinpain:

fuck dude... i'm looking for this one specific font i remember seeing in an ai generated post that had this gorgeous, semi condensed, sans serif minimalist, maybe a tad geometric? font. i'm going insane. i have no clue where i even saw this, but i know i'll recognize it from the vibes the letters give off. but i literally don't know what or where it could possibly be
all i know is that it's the most elegant font that i ever witnessed, but now that i know that it exists, nothing compares and i was gonna use it for this small side project but i've spent hours looking for this font and it's really not that big of a deal, but every other font sucks ass so much that there's really no good option
