hi im quill (ive given up on pronouns again) an 18yo writer who also draws stuff and sometimes i even post it!! you're very welcome to check things out i'm desperately lonely. also if you like any of my posts consider your account stalked <33
no i didnt copy and paste my previous intro but with dividers i like better whaat
hi im scrap aka quill (if u still call me mel out of habit its fine lol) (in the wise words of rin penrose, my pronouns are whatever is funniest for the bit.) most people on here call me some variation of scrap (scrap, scrappy, etc.) im going through a tiny identity crisis (prepare for new and more consistent branding!!)
i came to be in an ancient time in an ancient land. we didnt have to worry about stupid stuff like the government or gender back then. it was pretty chill. then a bunch of shit happened, and, somehow (i think there was some time travel happening in there idk it all sorta blurred together) i ended up here, in a land far across the ocean, where i do have to worry about the government and gender. yippee.
i think humans are generally pretty cool though! and i see how difficult it is for you in this world. thats why im on the internet. its a pretty good way to talk to people about it.
i like to write about people and about the world. i also draw sometimes even though i rarely post any art lol. i also wanna get more into making music but writing is the main thing for me
also, as an ancient being in the form of an 18 year old, im legally old enough to sue people 🔥🔥 so minors you can be here thats fine. just if you interact with me be mindful of the fact that i am no longer among your ranks 👍
this blog is cool with:
people of any race, ethnicity, culture, whatever
people of any sex or gender
lgbtq+ people (duh im one of u) (yes the whole community but the weird illegal ones dont count)
people of any religion/spiritual belief (just be chill about it)
disabled people (including neurodivergent people)
people struggling with mental health
anti genocide
anti genAI
PUNCHING NAZIS
and doing everything on main
so if you have a problem with any of that lowkey what are you doing here either go away or get educated
also if you ask me for money i will block you. if you are a hateful person who posts hateful things i will block you. if you make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe i will block you. thankfully i havent interacted with many hateful people on here. i would like to keep it that way
current hyperfixation song bc i need more people to know about my absolutely peak music taste: actually we're between songs rn but i guess i play girls & boys by blur more than once whenever it comes up
anyway now for the fun part :DDDD

Fairfable
click on the title for more info and lmk if you want to be on the taglist :D
What will hopefully become an indie animated series about young broke fantasy creatures moving into a tree together as part of a chain of events fated to occur. They all have their own issues, and all they think they're getting is some roommates to share the financial burden of their new home. Little do they know that there's a lot more in store for them.
Lynx is hoping that having her own space will make everything feel less overwhelming. Sal wants to be anywhere but his mother's house. Zing's there for shits and giggles—at least that's what they tell everyone—and Shailyn likes the tree too much to just leave it at the mercy of new tenants. And Nema's inexplicable visions seem to be pointing toward a future that brings them all together in ways that even she can't imagine.
Gildamore
click on the title for the intro post (ignore the content label idk why its there) and lmk if you want to be on the taglist :D
It always starts when you turn fifteen.
[insert super cool and intriguing blurb here cause i fear i still havent written one (the old one is outdated cause the story has gone through so many changes lol)]
Gildamore has a long and convoluted origin story, but I'll spare you the details for now. It's become what will be a series of 5 novels about two characters getting shipped off to magic school and becoming besties very early on. Unfortunately they also both begin crushing on each other at the same time. They are terrible at hiding it, but Lav has no ability at all to pick up on social cues, and Aeryth is just clueless in general (i love her sm.) This one's probably gonna be more slice of life (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA OH MY HAHAHA NO ITS FUCKING NOT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), and it was always gonna end up being at least 75% fluff (ok thats still true but THAT 25% HAHAHAHAHAHAA.) Gildamore is entirely my excuse to write cute romance with a side of emotional devastation and they save the world cause they're cool like that™. Well, not exactly "save the world," but close enough. And when I say emotional devastation I mean after reading one of the scenes my friend said smth to the effect of "i want to both cry and punch you" so yeah lol
my cousin (not the one im gonna force into helping me with fairfable music. different cousin. this one is a party pooper. he would make a poop joke right here because i said that. hes a grown ass man. i love him lmao) is mad about it being ya tho. its not even ya. throughout the series the characters ages range from 15 to like 20. also there are more no no words than the typical ya fantasy book. the magic system is cool as shit tho im really proud of it
Still Shine The Stars
can i draw my own characters consistently: the saga (click on title for intro and lmk if u wanna be on the taglist) :D
Do you hate capitalism? Do you think oligarchy is a terrible way to run a country? Do you think Donald Trump should get impeached and go suck a cock? (update as of november 2025 turns out he already did that lmao) Well then have I got the political cartoon disguised as a high fantasy story for you!
Life is good for Beatrix. Sure, they won't let her learn magic even though she's of age because she's "not ready." But, as the king's niece, she's entitled to a lot of perks.
But all that changes when her chambers are broken into one night by two masked strangers, and she is torn away from the life she's always known. The two strangers—Kyren and Silas—take her out into the wider world, where she learns that maybe life isn't all it's cracked up to be in the confines of noble society. And when a lifelong street urchin named Madge joins their group in search of a way out, Beatrix comes face to face with the cosmic gap between Madge's life and her own. It unsettles her.
So their little rebellion has four members now.
That's the premise for the first volume anyway. Each of the five main characters (I really like doing a main 5 don't I) gets one (yes I know there's only 4 in the synopsis. Elodia comes in later.) Yet another huge long-term project. But that's what happens when you want to overthrow an entire regime of old men too rich for their own and anyone else's good.
Once There Were Dragons
a fanfic to replace the monstrosity that is dragons the nine realms. click on the title to read it on ao3 :D
Once, there were dragons. Supposedly. Sigrid doesn’t actually believe any of the stories. Who would? She isn’t a child anymore, and she’s outgrown myths at this point. Of course, all of that changes when she discovers that maybe there’s some truth in the legend.
It all starts with an exceptionally strong earthquake.
With the help of a new scaly companion and the new kid on Berk, she embarks on a quest to protect new discoveries against all odds and prepare the world for an impossible but necessary change.
I don't update this fic often (my sincerest apologies to the three whole people who have bookmarked it.) I promise I do intend to finish it at some point. You're just gonna have to wait 3-5 business months between chapters. (*coughs in i havent posted a new chapter since may. like may 2025.*)
TAGS WAIT ACTUALLY

btw the main dividers are from here and each individual wip divider is credited at the bottom of its respective intro post except for the otwd divider which can be found here :)
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
The Penguin: GIANTS! no way! I’m gonna wave at them THEY WAVED BACK! Holy Shit they’re dancing with me! My Wife is never gonna believe this OMG I got to dance with a Giant today so cool.
The Humans: Penguin! No way! I’m gonna wave at it IT WAVED BACK! Holy Shit it’s flapping with me! I got to play with a Penguin today; so cool.
So I’ve been dealing with this problem on how to create the animals in Betula since I started making it. I knew I wanted beasts that were an active threat to add stakes and fantastical elements, but for a while they felt out of place. So now I’m rewriting every animal and mythical creature to work for my purposes (aka I love making things more complicated). Basically I’m taking inspiration from shows like ATLA where they combine animal traits, and doing that to remake fantasy creatures into scientific animals.
Cinnamon is based off of the nine-tailed fox. However, instead of actually having nine tails, they have quills with a coat of fur that can blow up to resemble a much bigger tail. They’re used for both matin and defense, and when not in use they lay down flat and become practically invisible. And they do definitely hurt when raised.
Here’s a couple other concept designs (Mega shout out to my sibling for first coming up with the gnome idea [left]) I’m trying to make them ‘scientifically accurate’, like what traits would actually be useful and work together, but tbh I know so little about animals and how to draw them lol
Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and Yáo the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.
Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.
Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.
In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt
There should be more hours in between midnight and 5 am because I am a night owl and also an early riser morning enjoyer and I need 8 to 10 hours of sleep also
i can not with keiko o'brien trying to make the polycule happen in as many ways as she possibly can
she literally schemes and carries out a plot to set up her husband and his best friend the local hot doctor on a date bc she knows they wanna hang out
she constantly mediates fights between her husband and her girlfriend (who is pregnant with her and her husbands baby btw) and tries to get them to stay together alone for a couple days in "one of the most romantic spots on bajor"
TW: Gore, Body horror, Infection (Seriously) Also kinda spoiler??
I’ve been seeing that one animation trend a lot, had a craving for some body horror, so I decided to cook this up
AND HOLY MOLY I’M SO PROUD WITH HOW IT TURNED OUT.
This is lore stuff just for like, really late in the story. I’ll eventually expand on it more. Also the mushroom I used is corpse finder, however I may change that in the scene later
Day seven? of sending you pick up lines untill you buy me boba: They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I just want to hear you infodump about your characters <3
TAG YOUR MOOTS AND MAKE THEM EXPLAIN THEIR USERNAMES LORE
Starting with me:
Hyyl18 because when i was youngest i had a group in a random app with some friends and i didnt knew qhat username to use so i decided to create one with things i used to read since we were talking abt fanfic in this group so: Hot Yaoi Yuri Lemon +18 stuff (i was in my dirty era dont dare to judge me). Hyyl18 thats it. Now i use it everywhere yay
@patroclus-is-the-bigger-person @b4rty-r0s13r-w1ll-fck-y0ur-m0m @cuntyteardrop @glassesgirlies @leninthestarlight @bardorsomethinglikethat anyone else who wanna join tbh yay
So mine comes from among us, specifically around the time they added the account feature and you could generate random names and at some point i got "privygrid" and it like immediately resonated with me so i use it everywhere now
tags with my questions/guesses below the cut
@chocymilkmilo (i mean ik but im still gonna tag) @viktorscuntywaist (i wonder) @ebulatheduck (why duck???) @boosterseat3 (random words?) @plutonium-17 (chemistry person) @cyxnmoon (i always fuck up ur name at first when im typing it) @kasane-poteto-chip (p o t e t o) + whoever wants to join
i need to make like a moot list cuz i know im forgetting people, sorry if i forgot you ily
my username is nebula without the first letter, and that's actually the name of basically an oc i have who's a duck, and she's a duck because i had (and still have) an obsession with ducks when i was maybe 9 years old. it's explained more here
tags below the cut (holy hell i have so many mutuals)
During covid I was playing roblox with my brother and we decided to change our display names in a game so we wouldn't know who we were (it was kinda like a murder mystery type game) and when I couldn't think of a name I looked to my surroundings, and I'm 99% sure I had drawn a "dum flowr" doodle on a sticky note. And I've just kept it since cuz tbf it gets the jist of who I am
Mine hasn’t changed since I first got on tumblr as a 12 year old xD Breeze is my name and for the second part I love the song Moon River, also I was at the height of my moon!Varian obsession and I love to swim -> water -> river so it was a funny coincidence that it matched :3 also it sounded very fancy and aesthetic to young me xD
Hm, aight! Basically, this one's an old one, barring the 300 i've started adding :v About uh... fifteen or more years ago, one of my fave games was Bionicle Heroes for the PC (i had a pirated copy my dad got me :3 ) and well...
@scribbl3dog (my main), I've always loved to draw and write, so scribble, and I was fairly certain that my fursona would stay a dog, hence the dog, the 3 in the username is just there to look cool (and also since @scribbledog already exists), the 3 was inspired by the titles of Femtanyl songs
@scribblethedog (roleplay blog), I liked the scribble in my username so much that I made it the name of my fursona, who eventually branched out into her own character,
@thefatjolteon (reblog blog) was originally thefatflareon, but I really like yellow so I used jolteon so I could make the blog extra yellow, I used an eevelution since my sister really likes eevee and often makes us play where we both have to be eeveelutions where I always choose either flareon or jolteon, the 'fat' is self-expalantory, it flowed a bit better when I was called flareon but I kept it when I switched to Jolteon since there aren't a lot of adjectives starting with J that I vibe with
My username, realbakedtoast/BakedToast, is pretty stupid tbh. It comes from the fact that I wanted a good online username to attract attention as a content creator.
I was thinking about names that I could go by one night and ended up with BakedToast because I found the idea of bread that you toast in an oven silly since it's toast that wasn't made in a toaster, but it's still called toast.
And that's basically it! That's where it came from lol!
Your turn, moots!

it comes from midnight doggo (my name everywhere else), which I came up with while looking at my very dark-furred dog. before that it was pretty much a keysmash, because I was creating a new minecraft username and just kept adding characters until I found one that wasn't taken. then I started using it for everything, for some reason.
@woodlandstarz13 @creatureofsolas @waytooobsessedwithmcyt @iamaconfusedbisexual @tbcbtq-v-real @softholly @slendermans-lesbian-cousin + anyone else that wants a go!
When I changed to my current username I was debating on what I was going to change my Irl name to, one of the names that I was considering more heavily was Sol as I had a thing with the sun at that point. So I added the first suffix I thought of resulting in "Solas". I didn't want to just go by Solas (and I am pretty sure it is taken anyways) so I started thinking of things I could add to it that would make a modicum of sense and landed on "Creatureof".
i rlly love the earth and nature, but also i adore standing outside and gazing at the stars late at night— my two loves meshed together. originally stars was supposed to be spelt normally but that was sadly taken. also 13 is my favorite number!
it was a dark and decidedly not stormy night. spring. i'd just discovered holiday by green day and was blasting it into my ears on heavy repeat. it was time. time for me to make a top secret never ever ever tell anyone online alter ego that i immediately told all of my friends about and continue to market to every gay person i meet. i felt devious and rebellious. historically i was not a devious and rebellious child so this was a big thing for me.
the date: april 1st, 2024. in my stupid 16 year old head, i thought "hyperfixation scrapple" would be a good name. ah yes. a word that is 4 syllables and difficult to brand mashed together with american patchwork meat. also the letters werent the right color (i like warm colors and hyperfixation is a cold colored word and i dont like it for me.) i realized shortly after i made all the accounts and stuff that i hated it. thankfully, i had decided to go with "scrapplescribbles" on tumblr. in recent months, i've decided to drop the "le" and just be scrap. im scrap and i scribble. i chose the word scribble because it encapsulates writing and drawing and feverishly typing in my notes app at 3am. i like this username lore trend
@novaluna7189 @kaz-greenbriar-calore @evil-era @birchtheknight @foxgloves-garden and anyone else who wants to! (no pressure btw)
Background; Elm lives in a village on the outskirts of the forest, and the area is filled with beasts and dangerous plants and fungi. Because of this, his village faces a lot of hardships.
Elm works as a teacher and apothecary. A main motivator for him is that when he was a kid, the way he was taught to protect himself was to live in constant fear. He doesn’t want others to have their childhoods hurt like that, and while he knows his village struggles he wants everyone to be able to live their fullest lives.
He’s also just a massive nerd. Genuinely interested in science, he’s always trying to discover something new. He commonly comes up with and performs experiments, often multiple at once so they don’t always follow through. It accidentally causes him to overwork a lot, and his friends have to pull him out of it and remind him to take breaks. He has a habit to talk about his work like he would with a student or patient, over explaining it even if he doesn’t need to or it’s just to himself. It definitely makes him favored in his work.
Elm has a talent for understanding and communicating with kids. He gets easily sentimental, viewing each of his students as his own kids which can be both a blessing and a curse.
