You know, if you think about it a little strangely, then inviting a romance-repulsed aromantic to a wedding is a bit like inviting a nun to an orgy.
It’s just gonna end up with a bunch of people having a good time while getting stared at by a confused, horrified person who has no idea what is even happening or why everyone is so happy about it.
Hi friend! Came to follow from ao3! Hope you like it on tumblr!
It's been a bit strange, but also very fun! :D
In 'Treasures for a Treasure (pearls pale in your eyes)' how does Marco react to the ocean loving Ace even though he ate a devil fruit 'cause that's gotta hurt him seeing that.
Meeting Ace doesn't have much of an effect, honestly.
The first time Marco met a gold speckled who had eaten a Devil Fruit, and realised that they were still loved by Mariana, he was absolutely broken. He probably spent a good long while crying in a corner somewhere, because how is it fair that they can eat a fruit, willingly, and still be loved, but he is hated for having it forced on him?
But at this point in the story, Marco has been alive for many, many years. He's met countless gold blooded, some with Devil Fruits, some without, and he's grown to accept that they are loved, and he isn't. He's a Priest of the Sky, and has been for much, much longer than he was a Priest of the Sea.
He misses Mariana, sometimes, but he is loved by Caelus in a different way, and he cares deeply for her in turn.
Mostly, he just found it funny that a grandson of the Sea ate the fruit that turned him into fire.
My very good friend Cover Mystic made this drawing of Mariana and I absolutely love it

Big 'Megas
You know, I think it would be fun to have an Omegaverse concept where an Omega's height is based entirely on how safe their environment is when they present.
Like, yeah, most Omegas are small and delicate, but it's not just because they're Omegas that they're short, it's because they were safe when their first Heat came along and smacked them in the face. They're small because they didn't need to be big.
But the world is fucked up and sometimes, kids just have shit lives. And kids with shit lives who present Omega get fucking big, because they body recognises that they're in danger and grow as big as they fucking can to keep themselves safe, plus get their instincts rewired to focus on protection and aggression rather than being nurturing and submissive or whatever other stereotypes there are.
I just really want an Omegaverse fic somewhere where, instead of whichever big person is an Omega getting mocked or looked down on or thought of as less desirable for being a big 'mega, everyone looks at them and immediately knows not to fuck with them, because that right there is an Omega who's wired to attack first and ask questions later, so get the fuck out of their way before they get hurt.
The perfect protector, basically :D Or, you know, an excellent setting for angst, whichever floats your boat >:3
You’ll be missed Devon, and even if it’s incomplete, your drawing still brings me so much joy.
Sometime in the summer of 2023, I asked my boyfriend at the time Devon, to draw some fan art of the goddess Mariana from Treasures for a Treasure by @thewritingdj hoping that I would be able to share it. In October of that same year, he passed away suddenly due to medical complications. It's been really hard remembering and even wanting to share his work because it was incomplete and I know he wasn't happy with the end result at the time and was redoing it. But I feel like his efforts need to be seen at the very least appreciated. I just want everyone to know that no matter what goes on in your life you will be missed. It will definitely be by your loved ones and if you don't believe that there are people that you pass by everyday who will miss your existence in your smile. Life is a very fragile thing and it's hard to see it pass. But enjoy some artwork of an amazing fanfiction that continues to make me smile.
and even with all of this, Mexico remains Not Canada

Please Help Me Raise Money
Hey everyone, it's Shadow.
As you might know, my home life is rocky and currently I'm not in the healthiest environment. My parent recently smashed my tablet, destroying any safe and private way for me to talk to friends, family, or for me to write, draw, or listen to music safely.
I have a Gofundme that is aiming to raise enough cash for me to buy myself an IPod (small, I know) so that I can Safely be able to talk to others and pursue the things I love Safely.
If you can, please donate, as any small bit of money helps. Otherwise, please reblog or share this elsewhere. I need as much help as I can get.
Thank you all so much, and hopefully I can reach out again soon.

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

This is Doris Pollas, the cofounder of the organisation now known as lgbt+ Denmark which by being founded in 1948 is one of the oldest if not the oldest queer organisation in the world.
Doris lived in a farm in Jutland as a child. She was always butch and figured out she was a lesbian in her teens. When she heard about a club in copenhagen where boys kissed boys and girls kissed girls she went just some months after and it was through that club she started a paper connecting queer people all up to seventies and co founded lgbt+ Denmark.
She is now 97 year and wishes for every queer person to have an as loving and accepting family as she did.
I don’t see a lot of older gays from my country, so learning about Doris, a masc lesbian, was really nice.
I read this and wondered what the HELL I’d missed.
Then I realized they were talking about IT like the guys that fix your tech, not IT as in Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
I was so confused for a minute there.
Got lowkey it!deku brainrot and was wondering if you would be opposed to bitches doing a spinoff fic (I’m bitches)
Of course !! Absolutely! If anyone made IT!deku stuff I’d cry 100%
Boundless Caelus, the Sky Itself made flesh and bone, God of Death, God of Peace, God of Justice, as drawn by my wonderful friend Cover_Mystic.
She's supposed to look Greco-Roman, but the hair makes her look Egyptian. Not that it matters, I love her either way :D
Slowly, but surely, it grows larger.

The only reason I’d wanna be on Hermitcraft right now isn’t so that I could build awesome builds or hang out with the Hermits or anything like that.
No, if I was somehow whitelisted today, the first thing I would do is ask Grian if the Permit Office is hiring and then refuse to take no for an answer.
I’d be so happy. An hour shift every weekday from 2-3 PM, just copying forms for Grian to torture people with. Maybe a Hermit would occasionally pop in, hoping I’d be able to help them instead of Grian. And I would try my best! But I would be as creepily cheerful about it as possible, emerging from the storeroom with ruffled clothes and unkempt hair to inform them that the files are a bit too hungry today, could you please come back tomorrow? Or putting on ‘Please Hold’ so I can hum along and tell them ‘I love this part’ when the whistling begins. Or send them down to the waiting room with a cheerful warning to watch out for the corners in space and time that sometime appear down there.
Because there is nothing scary in horror than someone who seems completely normal being completely unfazed by all the weird, vaguely terrifying things happening around them.
And that’s why I would want to join Hermitcraft :D

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
Hello! I want to notify you that I've started translating your fanfic "Treasures for a Treasure (pearls pale in your eyes)" into Russian on the Ficbook.net (Russian analogue of AO3)
