Ok I know I don't post outside twst but i am going to stay up all night unless I get this off my chest.
What would happen if you ate The Sandmans sand? Like if someone gave you the pouch of sand and after you had your fun, wouldn't someone's intrusive thoughts be like "what if we ate it?"
I know it's sand but it's ✨️MAGICAL✨️ sand. I couldn't be the only one that thought of this but like what would happen. Dose it taste different? would it kill me?
So dose anyone have any theories or like thoughts on the matter? Please 🙏

uhg, saw a post literally on my dash of the “if you’re not for banning content on ao3 just admit that you like CP” ilk and it’s just so frustrating because
fanfiction.net bans explicit adult content, but i know for a fact that there is still explicit adult content on fanfiction.net because i often unwittingly came across it in fics where it’s not labeled! there’s good reason i don’t go there to read fics anymore!
banning content doesn’t stop it from existing on that website, it simply makes it harder to moderate. part of why ao3’s system is so loved is because we are able to specify our searches to include and exclude multiple elements, but we’re only able to do so when those elements are labeled.
If we ban the “content” what will actually be banned are the labels that allow us to avoid it.
I haven't seen dancing pumpkin guy ONCE this year, are you guys okay?
you heathens will reblog day specific posts any day of the week. i woke up thinking it was wednesday
I don't know how to say this but Mc is an artist that doesn't take good care of themselves but they have a similar idea of beauty like Rook dose where it is everywhere and to enjoy the simple things in life (they are much more awkward and introverted then rook is). I will call them Yuri.
___
Mc would be happy with anything they get even if it was given to them in a mean to hurt them. So Mc is someone that people can't hate as what monster would hate such a lovely person. Even tho Yuri isn't afraid to blackmail someone no one's going to believe you as they know Mc has something on them of they never pissed off Mc.
___
Ace: How are you so happy all the time?
Mc: Well you just have to be happy if something doesn't bug you, you should love it for the beauty of the item.
Ace: Fuck your like Rook but less creepy.
Mc: Rook isn't that bad he's nice and understand the simple joys in the world.
Rook: Oui Trickster!
Ace: Rook!
Any tips for aspiring long fic writers
Sure! Caveat: everyone’s process is different, and I can only speak to my own experience. These tips aren’t absolutes, but I hope they can at least point you in the right direction. That being said…
1) Have a plan
I love outlines. I swear by them. I will write thousands upon thousands of words of outlines before I start on chapter one. Not everyone agrees. Whether you call it pantsing or discovery writing or something else, it’s a totally valid way to write.
However, when it comes to serialized stories like fanfic (especially longfic) it’s extremely helpful to know where you’re going before you start. It will help you stay focused, keep up your motivation, and make progress toward a definitive end. Without a plan, you’re likely to meander, run into dead ends, and get frustrated with a story that just isn’t working. In a first draft, you can cut and add whatever you need to to get things working again, but if you already have the story up to that point posted, you’re kind of stuck with what you wrote.
2) The plan is not sacred, so don’t be afraid to deviate
I know, I know. Sounds contradictory. But here’s the thing: you’re going to be spending weeks or months (or years) on this story. You’re probably going to change. Canon is probably going to change (if you’re writing fic for an ongoing series.) That’s okay, and you definitely don’t need to abandon your story because it’s suddenly become an AU. But if you stumble upon a great idea ten chapters in, and if you can make it work, then go with it! Some of my favorite plot points in my own fics have been things that came about in the process of writing.
3) Have a buffer
I know it’s tempting to hit post as soon as you’ve finished the new chapter. Get it out to the hungry public, right?
Well, maybe not. Maybe sit on it until you’ve written a couple more chapters. Doing so will (a) give you (or your beta, if you use one) time to edit and (b) help to compensate for those weeks when life gets in the way, or when the words just aren’t flowing. Personally, I always try to have two additional chapters written by the time I post one.
4) Be realistic
Longfic is a big commitment. If you’ve done NaNo or written any other longform fiction before, you have some idea what you’re in for. If not, hey! You get to try something new. But maybe don’t plunge straight into the deep end. Maybe start with a slightly more manageable longfic first, whatever that means for you. Maybe that’s 20k, maybe it’s 50k. Maybe it’s 100k. (Or maybe you want to start with a hundred-chapter epic. You do you. Just be aware that if you haven’t established a writing routine, you may struggle to keep up the motivation and inspiration. Having a buffer and knowing where you’re going can help with that, but still.)
You should also consider how long each chapter will be (long enough to progress the story but not so long that you struggle to finish each update) and how often you’re going to update (regular updates are great–but it takes time to get into the rhythm of consistent updates.)
Basically, know your limits and be kind to yourself.
5) Listen to your readers–they have a lot to teach you
When you’re first starting out, it can feel like no one’s reading your stuff. I know; I’ve been there, and it sucks. But I promise, you will find readers. It might take time, especially if you’re writing niche fics, but be patient, keep writing, and like-minded folks will find you.
Once they do, listen to them! You can learn a lot from the comments you get. Two things readers can teach you better than any book are foreshadowing and fulfilling expectations. You need an outside eye to tell you how subtle you’re being with your foreshadowing, and with fic you get to see in real time when people start to pick up on your hints. And comments will tell you what people are hoping for. I’m not saying you need to change your fic for your readers–in fact you shouldn’t!–but sometimes comments will point out a missed opportunity that you want to explore further in upcoming chapters.
6) Most importantly, have fun and write for YOU
Sometimes things change. You lose interest in a fandom or a story, or life gets too hectic to keep up with fanfic, or it all just gets to be more of an obligation than a release. And that’s fine. Discipline is a valuable skill to learn, and there’s nothing quite like reaching the end of a massive story–but fic should be fun. Write the story you want to write; I promise it will be more rewarding in the long term than chasing fandom trends to tempt more readers.
Anyway, I could talk all day about writing. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot them my way! In the mean time, I hope this helps. Best of luck with your longficcing!
In one point of Stray a mural says “It’s been 2544875556 days since robots gained their Soul”.
That is 6,972,262 years.
It’s heavily implied that humans have been gone for almost 7 million years.
And humanity is still living in their creations. They still play songs that humans had created. They created art in their image. They talk as if they are just around the corner, as if they haven’t been gone for longer then they have been alive.
Humanity’s creations following in their footsteps steps never to forget the impact they made. As B-12 said “I see a future in the companions and in you.”
Humanity will survive into the future in those it left behind. It’s a new dawn. Light shines on an ancient city for the first time. And no one really dies as long as they left something behind.

"I'm sure," you whispered. "They have made is highly known that I am nothing to them."
The potion seller placed the clear bottle down, outreaching their hands for the payment. Dropping the gold coins into their hand you greedily grabbed the bottle and left as fast as you came.

The potion seller places the love potion of the counter and say “Before I can sell you this, are you certain that the other isn’t in love with you?”
When you live for centuries, you can see the extremities of time flowing around you. Your skin never fades, but your mind is always scratching itself with wisdom. Like sandpaper, it whittles just the top, things that aren't important to have. You find yourself carving out memories in wood and writing conversations in books. You convince yourself of the immortality of the written word, yet fail to recognize the wilting of paper.
Did you forget who they were? Who you were around them was different than who you are now. Your mind lives with termites and book worms. Faces crinkle and crack as time gives their once youthful faces wrinkles. Even fire is dangerous. Burning through a library of stories told only by yourself.
Did you know when you were young? As time speeds by, their faces get harder and harder to remember. Once they left you, once you left them. The pictures in your mind only remained for so long. Sure others could speak of them, but what happened to the words of the story? Twisted after every passing. Will they even live in the future?
You may be infinite, but your mind will forever be landscaped. Soon you will look in the mirror, and see a different person than you ever were. Your eyes are almost the same. But they’re scared. What you see is different from what you saw when you were young. Were you ever young? Or have you been stuck being fleetingly curious.
You look in the mirror at your own reflection, your own perfect body. And realize, you’ve changed. You may have forgotten them, their words barely living on paper. But you’ve found yourself able to move on. They’ve helped you through life, and living forever has never really helped anyone.
hello!! can i please request a relationship hcs with silver + reader (gn)? thank you!!
A/N: Sure! Here are a few fluffy and mildly-angsty headcannons for our precious sleeping beauty. I hope you like it!
Warning: Spoilers for Silver's background!
Silver is a gentle soul. He is a good at active listening, and very observant of his surroundings. His overall goal is to become strong; however, his father raised him to believe kindness and peace are strengths in their own right.
Because of this, Silver is a very patient and considerate lover. Not a day goes by where he does not wish his partner good morning and good night. He cherishes his time and loved ones, so he goes out of his way to see them at least once a day.
He is a slow-burn at first. With his main social circle stemming from childhood, Silver does not have any experience with romance. He is not entirely oblivious. He recognizes that how he feels towards his 'friend' is special and unlike his other peers. However, Silver needs plenty of time to adjust. The pining phase is like a 200k slow-burn fanfiction, with his father being the target audience. Lilia knows his son like a book, and unfortunately (for Silver) does like to meddle.
His partner definetly receives a talk from Lilia when the relationship goes beyond puppy-love. It's nothing threatening, because the man trusts his son's judgement. Silver also would not choose to be with someone his father did not like. The talk is still serious, and is about how you are Silver's first human family. The one he will likely grow old with, laugh with, share burdens, and perhaps be bound to (if you are into that. Lilia would also love some g-babies but no pressure). Silver will cherish you for his entire life, and knowing that you will do the same is a giant weight off of his father's heart. Lilia may drip with sarcasm ninety-percent of the time, but entrusting his son's heart to you is not joke.
When in love, Silver becomes more emotive. Your relationship brings him closer to Malleus since his lord often asks about it. Genuine curiosity from his liege turns into investment, and Malleus senses how much more cheerful Silver becomes when speaking of you. The way his lips curve when your name passes through them, or how he asks his animal friends to pick wildflowers for you.
What seals the deal for Malleus is that Silver will no longer fret if he disappears, because he believes you are watching over his master. There is still Sebeck on his tail, yet on occasion Silver will encourage Malleus' late-night walks so that he can join in.
Oh yeah. You need the Sebeck seal of approval. Believe it or not, that is a necessity (just praise waka-sama and it'll work out)
Silver wants to train you in the sword-arts, and encourages forces you to join the equestrian club as well. When you became his lover, your status moved on to par with Malleus (I know, crazy).
Here's the thing though. Malleus is all-powerful. You play with twigs in the backyard, and pretend to water bend the rain. Obviously, there is a different kind of anxiety in his gut. You need to learn to fight and ride horse-back, or living in Briar Valley is a death sentence.
He enjoys using your lap as a pillow. His 'curse,' isn't so bad in this scenario...
Uses old-fashioned nicknames. He borrowed a few romance novels from the library back when figuring out his feelings. Get ready to quake when the words, " Good Morning, my love," become the first thing you hear every day
Yes. Yes, he knows what he is doing. He's inexperienced, not daft
Silver...does not have a last name. He's considered taking 'Vanrouge,' but it hasn't felt entirely right. When in love, he finds himself fitting your last name in his title.
Sir Silver _____, Knight of Draconia. Son of Count Vanrouge. General of Briar Valley.
Definetly has a nice ring to it, yeah?
Hello! This isn’t really a request more of a question for the Zodiac Cat MC, do the first years ever find out about MC’s true form? And if they do what would be their reactions? And would they try to help?
I have already did something like that but with Zodiac Rabbit Mc, it would be the same reaction so not much would change from the fic.
Here the fic
