That Master, Online

Finally revamping this blog to acknowledge that it shares the same name as my AO3. That's okay, it was like a decade old, it needed some love :)

[wizardmars]

I just read an excellent fic yesterday wherein the author fully invented a whole Romulan novel just for Julian and Garak to talk about. Being as invested as I was, I commented on the fic letting the author know how interested I was in an expansion of their ideas of Romulan history or more details about the fictional novel itself.

This beautiful fucking human being replied to be WITH A WHOLE FUCKING ESSAY DETAILING THE PLOT OF THE NOVEL AND THEIR HEADCANONS ON ROMULAN CULTURE IN REGARDS TO ITS INFLUENCE ON THIS FAKE FUCKING NOVEL!!

Im devastated this novel will never exist! I need it so badly! But also like. Star Trek fans? Nobody is doing it like they are. They’re fucking crazy (affectionate). They’re inventing whole cultures, art forms, books, paintings, people, etc.. They’re creating whole Tolkien-esque worlds for a 4k fanfic about a fucking pretty boy doctor and his gay ass lizard homie.

Comment on fics besties! Comment on fics!! Whole worlds of information are waiting to be infodumped on you if you just make it known you liked their work! Everything is yours IF YOU JUST COMMENT ON FICS 💖💖💖💖

[thatmasteronline]

Something similar happened to me! Somebody commented asking if the book about the Cardassian power plant accident Julian and Garak were talking about was real, and I said it wasn't... and then immediately started writing it. It's nowhere near done, but it's still three chapters in a book that wouldn't exist without that beautiful comment :)

[holly-ilex-artworks]

After I saw The Oscar & Pedro IG PostTM, I knew I had to use it as a reference. It’s too good. LOOK AT IT. And as I’m still on my Cardassian kick, and I wanted an excuse to draw Kelas, I felt bad leaving him out of the last post. So screw it, one more fanfic-inspired work for Changing by @thatmasteronline on ao3:

[thatmasteronline]

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL???

The cuddling?? Kelas playing with Julian's hair?? 100/10 will be thinking about this all day.

They're BLUSHING??? 🫠🫠🫠✨✨✨✨✨✨

[holly-ilex-artworks]

My current fic obsession is Changing by @thatmasteronline over on aO3:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61522966/chapters/157282507

I just HAD to draw poor distraught Julian in his newly acquired, Mother Cardassia approved scales ✨🦎✨

Hopefully between Kelas and Garak, he comes to accept his new body/citizenship 😩😩

[thatmasteronline]

I am so lucky this came up on my for you page because I would have missed it entirely otherwise!! It's so pretty!!! Look at his big brown eyes!! The hair!!

I love this so much, it's so pretty :)

[wishicouldpostfromsecondaryblogs]

@thatmasteronline I've literally not stopped thinking about this for even a moment, it's so fucking funny everyone go read their fic parents !!!

Click for res!!

[thatmasteronline]

Oh my god!!!! I love it so much ^_^ I can *feel* how much Achilles is sweating, and it's perfect

Zagreus: Kill!

Achilles: Yes I would like someone to kill me please

[thatmasteronline]

Coming back from Hiatus long enough to say that I'm finally watching book of the atlantic, and can I say, for the record: DAMN.

Anyway, that's all, back to my permanent hiatus! Thanks for the memories ^_^

The worst part of catching up with the manga is that you KNOW Ciel - fake Ciel - is gonna be like "You lied to me! The contract says you cannot lie to me and you LIED TO ME! You told me he was dead!!" and Sebastian's gonna have to stand there and try to explain that "he was stabbed, and then you stabbed him again, and then I rummaged around in his stomach for a ring, and then I burned the building down. I thought he was dead, I was wrong, I'm sorry, but again, he was stabbed, TWICE, I RUMMAGED AROUND in his STOMACH, and then I BURNED THE BUILDING DOWN. You can't fault me for thinking that sort of thing would kill a ten year old boy." and Ciel will totally fault him for that.

[thatmasteronline]

“My parents wanted me to continue on their company,” Ciel replied with a shrug, “So I’m majoring in business to learn how. Besides, when I’m the head of Funtom Company I won’t be treated like a child anymore. I’m short, I’m frail, and I’m small for my age. People still think I’m twelve, and I’m sick of it. When I run my own company and make it flourish more than my father ever could, people will have to respect me and treat me like the young man I am, and the adult I will be when I graduate in four years’ time. I’ll be twenty then, and people had better well treat me like it too.”

Ciel seemed passionate about it, but then his voice softened.

“Besides. My parents were killed under suspicious circumstances. The case is still open, but it’s gone cold. I hope that power in the business world might give me access to something. People might tell me things they wouldn’t tell the police. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some headway.” He sighed, then shook his head.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to get so heavy. It’s just…they died when I was ten and their murder was never solved…it’s hard, you know? It’s true, what they say, closure really is important.”

[thatmasteronline]

“Milk and one scoop of sugar, please,” Ciel called back, “And I bet you’re an incredible artist. Most people who have studied art up until university are. So, you said you’re into the supernatural, does that influence your art at all?” Ciel smiled. He would love to see some of Alois’s art, but he also knew that artists could be secretive about their art. He’d have to get to know him a little better before he asked.

“And how do you take your tea? I’ve heard that says quite a lot about somebody…”

[alois-bipolar-trancy]

Alois poured tea into a cup for Ciel and added the appropriate amounts of milk and sugar for him as well. He then turned his attention to making his own.

“Thank you, I do really enjoy it. The supernatural really does influence my work. I love to paint morbidly beautiful stuff. I love to paint things you can’t tell are dark in undertone until you’ve looked at it for a while. Subtle but eye-catching.” He giggled.

“I also love to paint portraits of people I know with supernatural undertones. Maybe I could paint you like that someday. As for how I take my tea, I like three spoons of sugar and a bit of cream. I like my tea to taste like candy, so what does that say about me?” He giggled again, grabbing the two cups and walking back to where the boys had been sitting.

[thatmasteronline]

Ciel smiled.

"It says you have a sweet tooth...I doubt it could rival mine, though...and I would be honoured to be painted by you someday. They say it's the highest compliment an artist can give, to be chosen as a subject to be painted. Of all the things someone could paint, nature, flowers, gorgeous sunsets...they chose you. It means you're more beautiful than any of those things, in their eyes...or so I've heard." Ciel shrugged.

"I never could master art. I tried, but...well, I have more of a knack for business. It sounds boring...until you swindle people out of everything they own because they went into business without being able to read legalese." Ciel chuckled.

"Don't worry, I only do it to those who deserve to be swindled out of everything they own. Someone like you would know how to read legalese, more than likely, and I'd draw up a fair contract."

[thatmasteronline]

“My parents wanted me to continue on their company,” Ciel replied with a shrug, “So I’m majoring in business to learn how. Besides, when I’m the head of Funtom Company I won’t be treated like a child anymore. I’m short, I’m frail, and I’m small for my age. People still think I’m twelve, and I’m sick of it.

[alois-bipolar-trancy]

Alois listened carefully to the other boy talk, taking in the information to find something they may have in common, hoping it may make their year easier. As soon as Ciel mentioned his parents death, Alois perked up.

“My brother! Oh! Sorry to bring it back to heavy stuff but my brother Luka also died under mysterious circumstances. He died when we were little kids. The case has been closed, doctors never found anything wrong with him though, autopsy reports also came up clear. I can’t help but think there may be something more to his death though.” By the time Alois had stopped speaking he was out of breathe from rambling.

[thatmasteronline]

Ciel shrugged.

“Same with my parents. I hope to investigate their deaths. I might be able to poke into your brother’s case as well. Businessmen get a lot of heat from the general public for being sleazebags, but I get to be a rich, well-informed sleazebag with access to all the medical records, autopsy’s reports and information I want. I’m happy to be a sleazebags. Besides, sleazebag can be my natural setting, in some cases.” He chuckled good-naturedly, sitting next to Alois on the bed.

“Now, we have some roommate things to work out. Your stuff, my stuff…I hear some roommates resort to writing their names on food in the fridge. I hope we can be more mature than food theft?” He laughed, in a much better mood now that he’d slept off the jet lag.

[alois-bipolar-trancy]

A certain flame in Alois was lit again when Ciel offered to help investigate what happened to his brother.

“Thank you so much! It would mean the entire world to me!!” He said dramatic but sincerely.

Although he couldn’t blame him, Alois felt a little offended that Ciel had already grown concern for something so petty as food theft. He wondered what else Ciel might assume he was going to do.

“Well of course not. I wouldn’t touch your food it’s not mine! If I wanted some then you’d know!” He said playfully. Alois was very happy to see that Ciel was in a better mood after a good night sleep.

[thatmasteronline]

Ciel smiled.

“That’s good…I’ve never had a roommate before, so I don’t know what to expect. I feel like all I’ve heard are horror stories. I can promise that I’ll keep to my side of the room, as it were, and keep out of your things.” He sighed.

“Have you had a roommate before? How did it go? …Sometimes I think I’m worrying too much, but…I suppose I don’t know what to expect, and I don’t like not knowing what to expect. The only time something unexpected happens is when the supernatural is involved, and I won’t have any supernatural shenanigans happening in this dorm room,” He finished with a smile on his face.

“I don’t want to walk in on you in the tub and see scales, you hear me?” Ciel was outright grinning now, hoping to put his new roommate at ease…and to make up for offending him earlier.

[alois-bipolar-trancy]

Alois nodded.

“ Yeah I have had a roommate before. I do have to admit, it is sort of awkward and stressful at first when you get to know your roommate and you’re still trying to see what kind of person they are. I promise I won’t cause much trouble.”

Alois had been through his trouble maker phase and was somewhat over it at this point. He realized it was just causing unnecessary mistrust.

With the mention of the supernatural Alois let out a giggle and grabbed a lighter and a candle from his bedside table drawer and lit it.

“I don’t know if I can make such promises! I may not be able to help myself from summoning someone or something!” He teased with a grin spread across his cheeks.

[thatmasteronline]

Ciel laughed loudly, leaning forward with a grin.

“Then I insist you summon only nice spirits,” he said, “I have an anthology if you want to know which spirits are kind and which aren’t…But for that matter, you couldn’t summon anything with that cheap candle.” He laughed.

“So! Classes start tomorrow…Shall we spend today getting to know each other?”

[alois-bipolar-trancy]

Alois laughed and blew out the candle, placing it back into the bedside table.

“Sure! What would you like to know? Or do today?!” He said in a cheerful tone of voice.

Alois stood from his bed and wandered to the kitchen.

“I’m going to make myself some tea! Would you like some? Then we can get started!” He called out.

[thatmasteronline]

"You read my mind!" Ciel called out, flopping back on his bed, "I hate to be the stereotype, but I'm British and I LOVE tea!" He giggled.

"You know, I think I'd like to know more about how you came to be here, in university. What calls you about the academic life? It certainly can't be all the paperwork and legalese you have to sort through to get here. I'm even a business major and I found it tough. Reading big words gets tiring after a while...Some days I do wish I was athletic enough to have made it here on sports alone. Imagine how easy that must be, getting a free pass through university because of big muscles...Me, I had to keep my averages above top marks to get here! The business program here is one of the best in the world, so they take only the best, of course...Sorry, I don't mean to brag. It took a lot of effort to get here and...well, I'm proud of myself. And I did say we were going to talk about you. Sorry. Go ahead, I promise I'll listen."

[thatmasteronline]

“My parents wanted me to continue on their company,” Ciel replied with a shrug, “So I’m majoring in business to learn how. Besides, when I’m the head of Funtom Company I won’t be treated like a child anymore. I’m short, I’m frail, and I’m small for my age. People still think I’m twelve, and I’m sick of it.

Missing Asks!

I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE ANSWER!

Okay, maybe not the final answer, but part of the problem! Asks keep getting eaten. Which is a big problem when you’re doing something anon and don’t want to ask the person “did you get it”? 

If the ask contains an ellipsis without a trailing space, it gets eaten. It says delivered, but it goes nowhere.

So “Well… then” will get delivered but “Well…then” won’t!

Hopefully this helps in getting your asks actually delivered.

[sandpuppeteer]

Post I made for my RP account, but very relevant elsewhere.

After discovering this, I tested it. Five different accounts between two people, anon vs not. No matter what, without fail, if the trailing space was missing, the message was not delivered.

I contacted Tumblr staff. They were already fully aware this was happening, but it is not documented anywhere. Nor do they seem keen on giving their users a warning about it in any fashion.

Help me spread the word because the staff won’t!

"My parents wanted me to continue on their company," Ciel replied with a shrug, "So I'm majoring in business to learn how. Besides, when I'm the head of Funtom Company I won't be treated like a child anymore. I'm short, I'm frail, and I'm small for my age. People still think I'm twelve, and I'm sick of it. When I run my own company and make it flourish more than my father ever could, people will have to respect me and treat me like the young man I am, and the adult I will be when I graduate in four years' time. I'll be twenty then, and people had better well treat me like it too."

Ciel seemed passionate about it, but then his voice softened.

"Besides. My parents were killed under suspicious circumstances. The case is still open, but it's gone cold. I hope that power in the business world might give me access to something. People might tell me things they wouldn't tell the police. Hopefully I'll be able to make some headway." He sighed, then shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't mean to get so heavy. It's just...they died when I was ten and their murder was never solved...it's hard, you know? It's true, what they say, closure really is important."
