For anyone wondering why I haven’t been posting anything lately

I promise I will get to writing the requests still sitting in my inbox and responding to all the messages I’ve gotten so far but... I need some time.

Due to... what’s been going on in the world lately, my mental health has been deteriorating rapidly. Being bombarded with negative news from every corner of the world is just fueling my depression, as is being locked up in my own house, I’m constantly worried about my parents and friends who are in the high-risk group, my anxiety levels haven’t been this high since my stay in Japan (which was, like, my life lowest point in terms of mental health) and I honestly can’t focus on anything besides the most basic activities like sleeping or eating. I’m struggling even to write this post, let alone headcanons and scenarios. I realize that everyone in the world is going through the same shit right now and I’m probably just overreacting but I just can’t help it.

Why am I writing this post? Because I feel like I owe an explanation to all the people who’ve sent in requests and heart-warming messages, helping me write and create and who may be still waiting for a response from me. I promise I’ll try to post regularly on this blog again once I’m back on track with my life but for now... I’m sorry.

May I request headcanons for Kuroo (Haikyuu) and Asahi (Fred!) and how they would be as boyfriends/what they would look for in a female s/o? Thank you!

Sorry but I have to refuse. I do not write female reader imagines. I have it in my guidelines. This blog is supposed to be a safe space for LGBT people, gay people in particular. Moreover, I do not want to write anything I myself wouldn’t enjoy or don’t feel confident about writing.

If you want me to write something not gender-specific, feel free to send in a request again since in addition to male reader imagines, I also write gender-neutral imagines but to female readers, I simply say no. If you want headcanons for a female s/o specifically, I suggest going to a blog that specializes in that. There’s plenty of those here on tumblr.

Once again, I would like to ask everyone who’s thinking about requesting anything from me: please, check out the guidelines first. There aren’t many but you’ll get the general overview of what I do and don’t write, and how to make it easier for me to write exactly what you want! I will also probably expand the list of fandoms I write for soon so stay alert!

I’m new here

so the requests are ofc open.

I want to make this blog a space where I can let out all the Gay in me, so I’ll assume the reader is male and/or gay for any request I get, unless specified otherwise.

Here’s a list of fandoms I write for (I’ll add more as I go):

Haikyuu!!

Free!

Mystic Messenger

Fire Emblem Three Houses

Tōken Ranbu

And down here are some things to keep in mind when requesting:

Will write general headcanons, reader instert headcanons, reader insert scenarios & imagines, or basically whatever you ask for.

It would help me greatly if you could specify in your request if you want me to write headcanons or a scenario, or whatever it is that you want, though. Headcanons are generally easier to write for me so if you want me to write your request faster, headcanons are probably the safest bet.

Will write male reader and gender neutral reader if specified. Will NOT write female reader.

Will write NSFW unless it’s something I don’t feel comfortable writing. Can’t guarantee the quality tho since I’m not very experienced in that department lol.

Will NOT write characters I feel like I don’t know much about. That said, feel free to request any character from any fandom I write for – if I don’t feel confident writing for your character, I’ll just say so!

It can take me anywhere between a few days to a few weeks to write your request. I apologize in advance if you end up waiting for too long. As for why, it’s usually one of these two reasons: college or depression. Or both.

I apologize for any mistakes I certainly will make in my writing. English is not my native language and even though I’m pretty confident of my skills, I will never write like a native does.

if you dont mind me asking, would you being comfortable with taking trans reader requests? :0

I had to really think it through before answering and I’m still not sure what exactly to say but I’ll try.

Short answer: would I feel comfortable? — yes; would I feel competent? — no.

Long answer: I’m a cis gay man that has like maybe one LGBT friend and he’s not trans, either. I certainly don’t have anything against writing for trans readers but I also do realize that trans people go through things I probably couldn’t even start to imagine and I wouldn’t feel confident posting my writing unless I had someone who’s actually trans to beta-read it. I don’t know if I’d be able to really make trans guys reading my stuff actually feel that it’s about them, that it’s indeed written for them. There’s only so much you can achieve with online research. I don’t think I’ve ever personally met or even talked to a trans person so I wouldn’t have anyone to consult if I needed to. I could try writing for you but I really wouldn’t want to offend you or anyone else by accident. You could DM me off-anon if you want and maybe explain to me what exactly you and other trans people would expect from me if I were to write trans reader requests? If I had some first-hand information, I could certainly try writing some sfw trans reader inserts (although I probably would never feel confident enough to even dabble in trans nsfw). I know what happens when straight women try to write gay romance without due respect and knowledge on the subject and I just don’t want to go down the same path.

Why do u format ur fics like poems?

What do you mean? Is Tumblr fucking up something again?

Just wondering what fandoms you write for

I have a post that includes both the fandoms I write for and guidelines you need to read before requesting right here but I just realized it might have been visible for PC users only so I added one that should be accessible for mobile users as well! You should be able to find it now in my blog's description. I'll write it down here again just in case though. As of now, I write for:

Haikyuu!!

Free!

Mystic Messenger

Fire Emblem Three Houses

Although I have so far written only for the first three as those are the ones that have been requested so far. If you want to request any character from these four franchises, feel free to send in a request!

Also, I've added a link for my MAL in the blog description. You can find all the anime (and manga) I have ever watched (or read) there and if you want to request a character that's not from the four fandoms I currently have on my list, send in an ask and I just might write it :3

The thing is, regarding the four fandoms I have on my list, I could probably write for any character you choose and be fine with it. As for the other ones... For example, I love the Zelda franchise but I'd probably only be able to write hcs and scenarios for Link. Similarly, I've been playing a lot Touken Ranbu lately but I have pretty strong inclinations toward certain characters there and wouldn't be able to write for just anyone so I decided against putting Touken Ranbu on my fandom list.

TL;DR If you want to be sure I write your request, you'd probably be better off requesting one from my fandom list. You can request basically anything outside the list, too, if it’s on my MAL list, but I can't guarantee I'll write it.

Also, just saying but I'll probably never write for any franchise outside the so-called Far East. My cultural worldview is largely Japan-centric, including a few Chinese franchises and, to a smaller extent, Korean ones, but if you want me to write something for Western franchises, my answer will most probably be "Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about" XD

Thank you

I just wanted to thank everyone who’s supported this blog so far, despite the fact that I’ve only started it. 53 notes, the number of notes I’ve gotten on the MM post, is the most I’ve ever gotten on any of my original posts! I’m not the type to care for numbers but I’m really happy that so many people liked my private, stupid headcanons!

I’ll try to post some of my personal headcanons and scenarios/fanfics I already have to keep this blog running (my notebook actually broke down like 2 weeks ago and I just got it back repaired so now I can FINALLY get back to writing) but I would really appreciate it if you sent in your own requests if you can! It’d give me something to think and write about, and probably end up much more enjoyable than my own hcs lol. My request box is actually completely empty rn, which probably is only natural for any new blog on tumblr, but I’m always ready to take requests you throw my way!

Anyways thanks for supporting this poor gay guy so far and I really do hope this blog will turn out to be something more than just a one-time project that dies in just a few weeks!
