❄️ No extensive DNI, as long as you know that I’m queer and proship and won’t dial myself down for people who disagree with that. I have no patience for bigotry - yes, including whatever type of bigotry you think of as "acceptable". If you give off bad vibes, I’ll block you. Minors can interact, as long as you block the tags “nsft” and “suggestive”.
❄️ Fanfic writer (technically, I write original fiction as well).
❄️ Currently focused on Blue Eye Samurai, but I've also written for Arcane, League of Legends, Overwatch, The Magnus Archives, and RWBY. Other media I enjoy and will likely post about includes Wings of Fire, Castlevania: Nocturne, Baldur's Gate 3, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Homestuck, Genshin Impact, Dungeon Meshi, One Piece, The Silt Verses, The Elder Scrolls, and the Horizon games.
❄️ I regularly go on unplanned hiatuses, sometimes for months. If you're worried I've abandoned this account, there's a 99% chance I haven't, but feel free to send me an ask!
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NON-CON AND DUB-CON TAGS ON ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN
trigger warning: rape mentioned
the non-con in “rape/non-con” tag stands non-consensual.
whereas the dub-con tag stands for dubious consent.
rape/non-con tag is one of archive warnings, alongside creator chose not to use archive warnings, no archive warnings apply, graphic depictions of violence, major character death and underage sex.
whereas dub-con tag is an additional tag.
what counts as non-con:
outright rape, sexual assault, a character fighting/struggling, a character being forced into having sex/getting intimate with the other character, a character being drugged, a character being unconscious, a character being restrained/tied up, a character not wanting the sex, a character not being able to say no, a character not having other choice but to agree to have sex/get intimate with the other character, “fuck or die” situation, etc.
what counts as dub-con:
when the consent is not explicitly given but is dubious, when a character is coerced into having sex/being intimate with the other character, when a character is too intoxicated to give full consent, when a character is under the impression that the character they’re getting intimate with is someone else, when the character later enjoys the intimacy they were previously forced or coerced into having with the other character, etc.
obviously, dub-con is non-con in real life. but when it comes to fiction and fanfiction, the two are not the same, and one of the reasons they are not the same, besides the reasons stated above, is so that a potential reader can either search for or filter out what they want, be it non-con or dub-con.
happy writing and don’t forget to tag your warnings properly <3
Barely any writing got done yesterday, so today I'm going to try to buckle down and write 4k words. I regret this decision already, but publishing day is tomorrow, so...
Number one wish from S2 of Blue Eye Samurai: I want to see Mizu in a church.
The scene where they visit the shrine in episode 1 is one of my favorites. I just want to see them learn about the other side of their religious heritage.
I've said this before but fandom trends indicate that the vast majority of omegaverse writers are women and people who can get pregnant or were able to in the past and maybe the bioessentialism in omegaverse isn't an accident or ignorance, maybe it's people using fiction to work through the bigotry they gave and the trauma they live with in away that is personally disconnected from them, and a lot of people use sexuality and porn to work through those feelings in a safe and pleasurable way 🤷
Like honestly the way people on this website talk about omegaverse makes it seem like everyone thinks it's mainly being written by cishet men as if they've ever been the primary fanfic writers in any community?? Hello???
Anyway I think there should be more omegaverse where mating functions as a mindbreak for the omega, completely reshaping them into a submissive and docile mate that exists to serve their alpha, and this is a known fact that is a terrifying existential horror that omegas try to avoid at all costs even while knowing that it's pretty much inevitable 🥰
(Some of this is really grossly fluffy sweet. Also, summer is still a great time for this.)

• A rescue being given hot chocolate. They're scared for a moment, thinking it will be scalding hot like when their owner made it, but then they look in caretaker's concerned eyes. It can't be that bad, right? With a leap of faith, they've tried it, and this time they can taste the sugar and chocolate.
• A romantic rescue dreading Valentine's day. All the gross, awful memories making themselves known again. They freeze when another rescue hands them a card. When they open it, it's a card thanking them for being the other's friend. They slowly look up, and when they see the other's beaming smile, they can't help but mimic it softly.
• A guard dog rescue being allowed to cuddle up next to the others in the cold Christmas season, not sitting on the hard floor or in the doghouse.
• a platonic/romantic opening a present. They're shocked when they see what it is. It's a gift, intended for their enjoyment. Not an accessory to a doll.
• A domestic helping with Thanksgiving, but it's just that. Helping. They're only asked, if they're comfortable, to set the table or cook a side. And when it's all over, they're allowed to sit at the table with the others, and that makes the display so much more beautiful, despite it being more humble.
• A domestic insisting they make Thanksgiving dinner alone. They're a new rescue, but have gotten comfortable enough to complain about being tired or hungry. While they're in the kitchen, they complain about how tired they are, and someone asks why they don't just sit down and let someone else take care of it for awhile. They freeze, trying to rack through the training and phrases in their head of why they can't, but none of those apply anymore, do they? They give in, sitting on a dining room chair, keeping an eye on it and making sure their replacement is doing it right. Eventually, they fall sound asleep.
- Maybe they're brave enough for the first time to directly complain about someone else, saying they made the food wrong or something. Immediately, they're scared and regret it. Caretaker assures them it's fine, and is trying not to laugh from how hilariously they worded the critique.
• Platonic/romantic getting to stay in their room during a party. They don't have to be the entertainment anymore.
• A romantic getting the courage to reject someone for the first time on Valentine's Day.
• A boxie on Halloween getting questioned about their qr code. They say it's a costume
So last week's to-do list didn't get completed, for a multitude of reasons. However, I have this week off, and plan to challenge myself to writing 2k+ words a day! (Which is tough but theoretically doable for me - my usual word goal, when I bother to set one for myself, is 1k).
So, this week's goal is:
Finish chapter 2 of "to taste your beating heart"
Also draft out chapter 3 of that fic
Draft chapter 4 of Swan Song
Send in an audition to that audio drama (not writing related, just. Exciting for me)
My goal is to publish chapter 2 of "to taste your beating heart" on Friday. I have most of the first draft finished - the only problem is that I'm really not sure if I like what I've written so far, or how to make it better. Pacing issues, my beloathed...
Finished drafting chapter 2 of "to taste your beating heart", and honestly? I think I like it more than I thought I would! Moving on to chapter 3, because I'm not in an editing mood today.
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
And if you're in a bind and your search engine allows it (google does), filter image results by date. meaning "show only images before day xyz" (it's in the search tools). put in December 2021. no AI results
always chewing on characters who would Never do anything as vulnerable as admit what happened but the signs are all there. stark, shiny scars they brush off concern for. pains that crop up at strange times. obsessive habits they refuse to break and aversions they won’t explain. bags under their eyes and a thin face, no matter how competent they are at whatever task is set before them. a worn cog still turns. even if everyone can see the damage, it doesn’t need to draw attention. really.
