“But there are no right words for such a circumstance—
to send them on their way, that is.”

She's bent over, with her head almost in her lap, and her hands are on either side of her head, obscuring her face from the viewer as she cries. Her phone is on the seat beside her, and it is lit up by a one-way text conversation. Magitek airships dot the fire-burnished sky beyond the car window. End ID.
WELCOME TO THE F.A.Q.s!

Please read this post before sending in a question via ask/comment. I will not respond to these questions sent via ask/comment/reblog.
Why don't you want minors/ageless blogs interacting with your entire blog even though you write a lot of SFW content?
Because I also write a LOT of NSFW content, and I'm also an adult who just does not wish to have minors/possible minors interacting with my work. By choosing to not allow ageless blogs interact with my content (I stop it where I can), I get rid of the risk of minors hiding behind blank blogs interacting with my content.
Can I be added to a taglist?
No. I used to do taglists when I was still a Haikyuu blog, and I found that they were very overwhelming. There's not really a good system to getting people to add themselves to it (i.e. I used to have a Google Form that people would just ignore all the time, and so my ask box was just full of taglist requests), and even after limiting the amount of people on the taglist, even just 20 people became very overwhelming for me to keep up with.
I've also found that a lot of people who signed up for my taglists would either change their usernames without notifying me or their Tumblr settings wouldn't allow them to be tagged.
There was also a point where I was doing taglists, and they were either getting flagged as spammed, or I just noticed that it was killing my post engagement in general, and that can be a bit discouraging for a writer.
What are your politics? Why haven't you spoken on (insert issue here)?
My favorite video game is Cyberpunk 2077, and my idols are Morgan Blackhand and Johnny Silverhand. You can use that information to figure out my politics.
I will speak on politics where I see fit. The truth of the matter is that I'm just not very vocal on my politics on this specific platform. People who know me in real life know that I am very vocal about what I believe in.
A lot of my beliefs align with punk values. Like actual punk. Not any of that bullshit hateful or poser shein punk.
If it really matters to you, feel free to ask me for my opinion on a certain subject. I usually just don't talk about politics here unless there is something I feel super strong about or if someone else brings it up.
But for the most part, I'm just here to post my work and go. I don't spend a lot of time on Tumblr outside of just posting my work. I rarely read on here anymore since work takes up so much of my time.
Your CoD fics aren't lore accurate/That's not how the Military works/That's not how things are done in (insert country here).
Argue with a wall. I'm always down to learn about the different cultures of a country and how things actually work in said country, but I don't give a fuck about being "lore accurate" or military accurate. There's bigger fish to fry. I'm writing about fucking people made of pixels. Don't read my stuff if it really bothers you that much.
Why don't you write for (insert character here)?
I don't want to. There is really nothing more to it. Either I just don't want to or I feel as though I don't know that character well enough to write them. That's all :)
When are you going to update (blank)? Will there be another part of (blank)? Please tell me you're gonna write more of (blank)!
I know that these comments have good intentions, so I am not going to try to villify those who leave them, but for a lot of writers, including myself, these comments can be kinda... Well, annoying. It also kills my motivation more than you could ever know. It puts a lot of pressure on writers to deviate from what they want to write to appease to their audience.
For those of you not familiar with fandom culture-fan art, fanfics, etc. are meant to be seen as a gift to the community. Please treat it as such, and try to keep yourself from demanding more.
If you want a writer to continue a piece of work or a series that you really enjoyed, reblog it, share it, and provide real feedback. Tell us what you enjoyed about the fic. Tell us what you want to see in the next possible part.
A million "where is the next part?" and "Will there be another part?" comments aren't helpful or motivating.
I appreciate that you loved my work and want to see more of it, but please be considerate to your writers.
