AO3 STUFF I POSTED

Heya, tumblr! Dell is back at it again! I'm here to post my recent fanfics I made, and I hope that you guys might like what I've made! (also sorry for not posting some of these sooner! i got busy with my lost media au stuff, along with like, general posting anxiety!)

Wuh-oh! This warning is here for one (of) the fanfic(s) that contains: Major Character Death, 4lc0h0l 4bvs3, and Swearing! Discression is advised

You're Real To Me (Foxy x TransMasc!Guard!Reader)

(2440 words) by MonstahEnergeez

(Psst! Heads up! The animatronics in this fic are NOT possessed!)

Synopsis: You were a guard, working at Freddy's for about three nights or so. You hadn't felt too confident about how you've been doing for the past while, especially with your appearance and your voice. Meanwhile, an animatronic you had held near and dear to you, sees you for who you are on the inside, the true you… And he loves it. <3

When Life Gives You Lemons (Michael Possessed!Glamrock Freddy + Michael's Friend!Reader)

(3724 words) by MonstahEnergeez // Chapters: 1/3

(Psst! Heads up! The animatronic in this fic, Glamrock Freddy, IS possessed! He is possessed by Michael Afton from the games)

Uh-oh! Seems like this fanfic has mentions of: Character Death, Alcoholism, and General Angst! Tread carefully when reading this fanfic!

Synopsis: After the pizzeria burned down with your close friend in it, you never fully got over Michael's death. After a few failed jobs and hungover weeks, you managed to find a job in the PizzaPlex, another Fazbear establishment. But one of the animatronics… Looked far too familiar. Acted too closely to you.

LOST MEDIA AU: Freddy and Friends (Information Tidbits + Headcanons)

(2171 words) by MonstahEnergeez

This is where I'll keep track of everything in my AU! If you get tired of checking through every post for updates on the AU, then this AO3 fic will be the central of all things Freddy and Friends Lost Media! It'll link to all of the important tumblr posts pertaining to the AU, along with having other such information and tid-bits such as backstories on the characters and 'what if' scenarios!

Okay, that's all for the time being! And again, feel free to send questions in the asks or comments, or request me anything you'd like to see! Bye-bye!!

Sorry if you're asked this a lot, but do you have any good sources to read about theriantropy? Especially off Tumblr? Im trying to reconnect with my therian identity and it's been a while since I've done any reading so I have no idea where to start lol. Thank you!

Here's a list on some stuff where you can read about therianthropy and therian experiences. This isn't the end-all be-all to what's out there, and some things in this may be outdated but still worth a gander:

Alterhuman Archive's therianthropy section. An archive with 230~ writings by therians or otherwise about therianthropy. Don't be afraid to poke around the websites or blogs where these writings are linked from, either!

Radiant Obscurities. A project dedicated to showcasing writings about personal animality (especially those of more uncommon or rare theriotypes.)

Project Shift. An older information and resource site about therianthropy. Some things may be very out of date, but it's still worth looking into-- just keep that in mind.

WereLibrary. An archive dedicated specifically to writings about therianthropy, with 84 writings.

I also recommend my partner system House of Chimeras' Therian Timeline ebook. I know there's more out there too-- check the notes on this post to see if folks have added in their own recommendations!

stealing this list of early web & 90s inspired sites & adding a few of my own here:

🖥️ http://ita.toys

🖥️ http://syntaxmag.online

🖥️ http://dirt.fyi

🖥️ http://biter.ph

https://mutterbutter.neocities.org/main/

https://y2kstardust.neocities.org/home

https://sweetcharm.net

https://virtual-milk-2000.neocities.org

The original links (💻) feel, imo, less inspired by actual web 1-2 and more inspired by the print pubs of the same era. BUT it is impressive and deserves to be explored and shouted out.

a beautiful website in the late 90s would have likely been forced to about 600-700px wide reading area to ensure compatibility not w mobile, w small desk/laptop screens, bc we didn't have responsive sizing yet. layouts were often achieved with painstaking image slicing positioned with tables. exotic fonts were more rarely used bc css didn't support font sharing and it ate bandwidth. midi soundtracks fell in and out of favor & were scene dependent.

css animation wasn't a thing, and javascript was if you know you know. So gifs and sometimes flash were more common (flash being more 2.0 imo). Raw, boxy, grey element styling often poked through on forms and buttons etc. tho it was popular to color/style scrollbars for a bit

The 4 I picked hew closer to memory. They are all very high effort and maximalist examples tho. A new wave of the older form.

It's good I love this!!

2023 post round-up/summary

Lovely @twig-tea tagged me here, so I'll try my hand.

I'd abandoned tumblr for about 4? 5? years 2016ish through 2020, had a short stint with it again in 2020, took peeks and vehemently disagreed with much of what I saw in 2021-2022, and grudgingly settled back in in 2023. I wasn't going to interact. I wasn't.

Jan-April: *crickets* I was being strong!

Then, I saw people moaning about how they'd learn Thai if only it was on Duolingo, and you know how spite can be funnelled into positivity? I did that! Result:

May

Popular: Free Thai Language Learning Resources, most popular by a landslide. This pleases me greatly, as I put a lot of work into it and always hope more people start picking up this language.

Favourite: maybe my thoughts on Ming, piggybacking off @kenmakaashi's post?

June

Popular: my musings on translation and how it relates to fannish reception of media, which was my most popular post of the year and 'broke containment', if only in a very small way. Some of the additions in the tags and reblogs are fantastic, do go have a look if you like!

Favourite: toss-up between my attempt at showing a parallel between a silly moment in Our Skyy 2 x BBS and a scrapped shot from BBS proper and this rant about Romanisations of Thai and why G**gle translate is the devil (that bit is in the conversation downthread), which let me meet @plantsarepeopletoo.

July

Popular: Summary of James Welker's 2006 essay "Beautiful, Borrowed, and Bent: “Boys’ Love” as Girls’ Love in Shōjo Manga"

Favourite: the offerings are slim here … let's go with the one in which I once more was salty about the way folks talk about BL

August

Popular: Only Friends' Ray isn't just The Drunkard, but also The One Who's basically Given Up On Himself, as per his title card (this one was so popular it got stolen and reposted – without credit or permission – to twitter 🙃)

Favourite: Thinking about Drama, the Romance genre, and tropes, and how those relate to our perception of BL (good additions from various folks in the notes; conversation with @visualtaehyun in reblogs and @twig-tea in the replies).

September

Popular: IFYLITA Ep 6 poem context notes

Favourite: toss-up between complaining about badly machine translated content in Love in Translation and musing on the name of Khun Yai's favourite bar

October

Popular: my long-winded answer to @zimmbzon's ask "Hi, how would a non-binary person (me) get around the binary gender rules and vocab in Thai?"

Favourite: uhhh … maybe my musings on honorific translations in kimi ni wa todokanai? (yes, technically a reblog from sideblog, shh)

November

Popular: most popular was this throwaway therapy vent containing food for thought and while I guess this meme is mostly fannish I'm linking it anyway because it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to (or something)

Favourite: when I called out the resemblance between the Last Twilight trailer and Intouchables (2011). Literally no one cared, but then @my-rose-tinted-glasses independently came in strong with receipts as soon as the actual first episode aired and made me feel validated af.

December

Popular: Why I'm pretty sure Last Twilight's "fried rice/false rice" joke was funnier in Thai

Favourite: the saga of the songs in Ep 4 of Last Twilight

I didn't do any round-up posts, but I'll include the other category @twig-tea added:

Five other posts that I want to highlight because I can:

BL Favourites Tag Game (July 2023)

Link to fujoshi.info with information on WHY you should check out that site if you're interested in having an informed opinion on BL and the genre's history.

contemporary issues in Thailand as mentioned in Only Friends ep 1

Thoughts on code-switching in Step by Step

Reply to @mynameisnotthepoint's comment-via-ask on my anti viki rant

I'm not going to tag anyone because I'm completely lost – I was mostly off tumblr for nearly three weeks; if you made a post like this you'd like me to see, please link me/tag me! <3

No. 6.5, or Notes on a Writing Process

After my last somewhat frantic post, No. 6, or A Writing Process, I did a bunch of Googling and found some other links that look pretty helpful for the diss writing process from various academic blogs. As someone feeling very anxious about the quality of my writing, these blog posts have been very comforting in providing strategies for revision that address issues of clarity and voices.

I'm definitely going to be returning to these once I finish my zero draft. I hope you find them useful.
