Lately I've been a little bummed at how underrated and underappreciated Zoerumi is then I see that THE ZOERUMI LEGEND posted a new Zoerumi one shot that can be considered post On Your Side! On Your Side being mentioned gives me happiness 😊 The one shot was so good. I love the spice and classic Zoerumi sweetness and I love when you write Rumi begging and desperate for Zoey. Honestly they're both obsessed with each other as they should be.
Speaking of On Your Side I know it ended months ago but I really wanted to tell you how much it meant to me. It's one of the best and the sweetest out of all the fanfics I've read. The way you wrote Zoey's family and their dynamics was amazing. It was only 6 chapters but it felt like I'd been reading for much longer.
I reread it again a few months ago and out of nowhere I started crying. The overflowing love in the fic and the way you wrote Zoerumi loving each other is so beautiful that I couldn't help but sob! I really liked Zoerumi but I think On Your Side and the way you write them in general really cemented them as my favorite.
Thank you for your writing and for loving Zoerumi as much as you do. You and Chrys are some of the creators that come to mind when I think ZOERUMI ❤️ I'll never be over On Your Side 😭 time to reread it again ❤️ Anyways I can go on when it comes to On Your Side but I'll stop here so I don't flood your ask even more.
Sorry this turned out so long 😅
Hello anon - I know you had sent this a few weeks ago but I sat on it a little and tried to think about how to respond to a message so sweet!! 🥹 And I still don't know how - but I will try!
Firstly - thank you so much! ough you are so kind, I don't even know what to say, i think about them constantly LOL zoerumi rly is my roman empire, and there is a wonderful community of people whose zoerumi work i admire and i draw inspiration from - the true zoerumi legends!
here's a link to the zoey/rumi ao3 filter - so many awesome new fics for them!
I'll try to list down some favorites from the top of my head later in the post, but i will go through the tag sometime soon to read and support the new ones now that i'm less busy hehe!
massive ramble about OYS and other things below, and i'm happy to share that the fic was edited to have art & comics embedded in it now hehe!
I'm just so, so glad to hear the fic resonated with you like that! Thank you so much. It is very very very dear to me (the setting & family's so close to mine), also I very self-indulgently wanted Rumi & Mira to have a silly extended family lol. This fic also led me to some wonderful people who are now my friends - tagging @chrysa3tos who you mentioned by name in this post. I agree with you so much, i LOVEEEE their zoerumi art and everything they share of the ship and polytrix in general! yahoo!
but hearing that reading it has made you laugh or feel happy really is the best feeling in the world for a writer, so thank you for taking the time to write this ask and share it. i'm going to frame it. in my heart. I hope you have a wonderful day! Get some good soup! and a nap!

in the words of the great chrysa3tos: my beloved historical sapphic throuple......... I didn't know how badly I needed you until this fic altered my brain chemistry
I just needed to yell to someone who Understands
hahah, it's such a great fic! I understand. And if you've not told the author how much you love it, you definitely should! They are occasionally here at @sheraofpower, or get yelling appreciatively in the ao3 comments section! I hear authors enjoy excited comments very much :)

word count: 11,556
preview:
‘Mira!’
A clang from the kitchen. Running footsteps—‘What! Are you okay?’—that stopped quite abruptly at the open bathroom door.
‘…Why are you naked?’
‘A, I was cold. B, I still have clothes on. And C, it’s honestly so rude of you to complain.’
‘And—no, I’m not compla—‘ Mira closed her eyes. Breathed in and out. ‘Why are you in the tub with it?’
‘Aw, she just got a little lonely. Didn’t you, angel?’
Zoey rewarded the dog’s exceptional bravery with a fond scritch under its chin. She was startled when a baby growl buzzed in its throat—startled then quickly smitten to find it was a happy noise, the dog’s eyes closed in bliss. Absolutely gottem.
My partner @blitzlowin asked me to draw Celine's daemon Seong-gye from this Huntrix fanfiction by @unicyclehippo. (I DIDN'T KNOW HE CARED SO MUCH ABOUT HIS LOOKS, SORRY ABOUT THE XL SHIRT SEONG-GYE)
YOU KNOW WHO IT ISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
SHE IS.. SHE IS....................... (whhat's her naaaaame)
soundcloud rapper, rizz haver, turtle lover, crocs wearer and seaworld hater
THE NOTORIOUS FDZ RETURNS!!!!!
inspired by @honestground's amazing fic 'Show Me (how to love you) and also the delightful Fast Car by the awesome @theallegoricalcavedweller but also none of this happens at all! its a kinda vibes based thing so go read them with no fear. the notorious fdz is a yaketyverse eyecrimes horror.
also you voted for her second single, so this is on you, probably! DR BABYGIRL, PHD, her romantic ballad towards a mysterious doctor with big sad seal eyes. with an extremely inappropriate cover art photoshoot NSFW! too powerful for tumblr. (the photo shoot files have mysteriously vanished from the server- if anyone has seen a tall pink haired individual please inform security)
if you are new to THE NOTORIOUS FDZ, hit those tags for LORE (and eyecrimes galore)
gimme your 3rd single titles in the replies! my fave one gets PRODUCER CREDIT! wow! such amaze! such totally worthless
!!! HASHTAG GENIUS @somewhatlucky!!!
imagine...
POUTINE ON THE RITZ
(Mira haaaaaaaaaates this pun she hates it she hates it she hates it. Zo laughs more and more as she says it. She is going to get a Fred Astaire outfit)
another strong contender from @yeah-thats-right! FDZ can write so many appalling lyrics for these. You got until Friday to get your suggestions in wannabe music producers! Will it be a single? a double release? or MORE????? how many eyecrimes can one imaginary soundcloud rapper make?

Love the concept of fishtrix but diver zoey and mermaids rumira being fascinated by her because she's is immeadiately more interested in the sea turtles swimming by than actual mermaids appearing in front of her

THE NOTORIOUS FDZ
continuing on with my deranged fanarts of great fics where the thing i have drawn doesn't happen! (see also crocs AU, eyecrimes for ink and honey) Sorry authors. I love your fics and hope you don't mind.
Today my victim is the amazing
show me (how to love you) - Chapter 1 - honestground - KPop Demon Hunters (2025) [Archive of Our Own] by @honestground
Front Desk Zoey is often written as FDZ which makes me think of a rapper everytime. from here- (i have writer's block but i think if someone were to trail their fingertips up and down my back for 3 hours it might fix me – @yaketysmax on Tumblr_ )
Her debut album is all about turtles and contains a 15 minute rant about seaworld with a drum and bass line underneath. Mira makes her a website and secretly buys 10 copies of the album in support.
Anyway read this fic it is so good. None of this happens.....
blaming @honestground for encouragement ( i don't need any for eyecrimes tbh) i yakked about this in the tags and then had to make it. Here is NOTORIOUS FDZ's website.
Mira you made me a website? wow that looks so slick! you are amazing thank you Mira! web designer and hottie???? thank you! mwah mwah can i have a sparkly background though? can i have a turtle pointer with stars? can i have that comic sans option? it is so cute!!! can there be glittery bits you are so amazing ! can i have shiny boxes too? i sold 10 copies of my album already can you believe it and people are streaming it????????
Mira is grinding her teeth. she is sweating. this site is a crime against web design and taste. it is a 2000s myspace hellscape with animated backgrounds and auto play music and then a sweary rant about seaworld and turtles and whales. she will never admit to making it. no one can ever know her shame.
She can't resist those big brown eyes and excited face though.
/( ,,⩌'︿'⩌,,)\ °(°ᴗ°〃 )°
(Her reward from Zo later is pretty nice too.)
LOVERGIRL 1
PRO WEB DESIGNER 0
She goes home and makes a minimalist tasteful website just for fun to calm herself down. (She brought those 10 copies secretly. she sets up a bot to silently stream FDZ's album 24/7 to give her some numbers.)
NOTORIOUS FDZ DROPS HER DEBUT SINGLE....IS IT.....
TURTLE LYFE chill rap
F*CK YOU SEAWORLD sweary rap screeching
PINK WEB unsubtle love rap song ZO! that is NOT radio safe
Voting ended onMar 3
i really wanna do the worst single cover art you have ever seen....ooo it is gonna be so tasteless Mira will be crashing out in the bathroom about it. MIRA SHE IS USING 7 DIFFERENT FONTS! MIRA THERE IS GLITTER EVERYWHERE! MIRA NOTHING IS ALIGNED ON A GRID!
(none of this happens in honestground's fic, please do not be alarmed. do not let my eyecrimes out you off an excellent fic. the NOTORIOUS FDZ has just gotten a hold of my eyecrime braincell.)
THE NOTORIOUS FDZ! NOW SHE'S GOT A HONGLOCK! love to daw a deranged Zo.
a collection of my Zo based eyecrimes, from Front Desk Zoey (from 'Show me (how to love you) by honestground to Crocs AU Zo from 'Fast Car' by theallegoricalcavedweller. They have mutated together into deranged yaketyverse soundcloud rapper THE NOTORIOUS FDZ. She has a honglock! a hideous website and a worse debut single/album! She wears turtle crocs and all the colours. Her demented rizz is off the charts. we love her anyway.
None of these eyecrimes happen in these fics, so please read em, they are great! I just went on a little strange detour as is common in my fanart. Vibes only, no facts!
