Fandom, after all, is born of a balance between fascination and frustration: If media content didn’t fascinate us, there would be no desire to engage with it; but if it didn’t frustrate us on some level, there would be no drive to rewrite or remake it.

Please, please, PLEASE for the love of God don’t come at authors with comments like this:

It’s not funny, it’s not cute, and it’s not witty. It’s rude.

Trust me, we feel enough guilt for leaving works incomplete without getting comments like this.

And just FYI, this comment was made on a COMPLETED series. On chapter 1 nonetheless.

🙄

Wanna have a writer block you because you think your comment like this is cute cheeky or funny? 

Just FYI – This is how you get punted, blocked, kicked right in the hoo-hah or right in the balls.  To me this feels like an entitled comment. I’ve been getting them a lot lately. 

Look, Fanfic writers take time out of their day to do requests, or to create their stories and their worlds for FREE. 

They are not obligated to give you a damned thing – and the more entitled you think you are to your requests/updates – the more your comments/bullshit wannabe witty comment makes us wanna just not do it anymore. 

You want the content? 

Tell ya what sweetheart, you create it.

MH x FFXV Headcanons: Palico

@mandakatt we need moar palico headcanons!!! I feel bad for just leaving him out xD

– I think when Hunter arrives in Eos and is probably injured because they left their weapons or had been surrounded by a pack of wild animals and couldn’t fight them off because they’re disoriented from the new environment.

– so palico keeps an eye out for them in case any monster attacks. And he also forages for any curatives to help hunter.

– while he was out foraging he didn’t notice that he came close to a lake where a certain prince was fishing. Noct was probably waiting all day for the fish to bite when he spots palico. He had to do a double take at what he was seeing. He thinks he’s still half asleep and his dream mixed in with reality…

– But nope!!! That is a bipedal cat carrying some fish somewhere. He has half a mind to follow it but he doesn’t want to stray too far from the camp. He’s so lost in his thoughts that it took him five minutes to realize he had a fish bite the line.

– Noctis goes back to camp and the expression of confusion is clear on his face. They guys can see him and asked what happened, Noctis reluctantly tells them about the walking cat he saw. But obviously it was brushed off and maybe he got teased cause of his love for felines.

– Later when the Bros are on a hunt, they hear a cat’s cry. Thinking it was a poor stray who got injured, Noctis rushes off to the sound to find Palico cornered by sabertusks.

– Noctis fights off the pack and checks on the cat. He realizes that he wasn’t dreaming that time and that bipedal cat was definitely real.

– Palico thanks Noct and shakes his hand and Noctis nearly has a heart attack cause the paw pads are so soft!!!

– The Bros catch up and just stand there frozen cause there is a talking cat. When they all get somewhat calm enough to listen to the Palico.

– Palico introduces himself to the Bros and immediately asks them to help hunter since they were injured.

– So they follow this strange talking cat to find a person with weird gear that almost looks outdated. But they help them get their injuries treated at camp nonetheless.

– Sooo.. shenanigans once the hunter and palico become comfortable around the guys a lot of stuff happens.

– Noctis always wants to hold Palico’s paws. It was a strange request but he complied nonetheless because Noctis is happy.

– Gladio is fond of Palico because during camps, they both forage for stuff they find on walks. Look at these boy scouts xD

– In combat Palico often climbs on top of Ignis or Gladio and launch himself to the monsters.

– When palico does the little handicraft thing with his palico gadgets, Ignis sometimes likes to watch him do his work and have small talk.

– Prompto has pictures of Palico more than any of the Bros now….

Prompto: What pictures should I take Noct?

Noct: -picks palico- Take more shots of Palico.

– Noctis constantly wants to hold Palico that it nearly makes hunter jealous. Like, Noct that’s my palico… 😦

That’s about it… I’ll post more later

These are adorable, and entirely spot on. XD You SURE you haven’t been reading my wip on these?

Anyhow lemme see do I have anything to add —

– The Palico becomes Gladio’s shoulder buddy. He’s a cat, he loves being up high, and even though their hunter is who they normally climb up on, being on the shoulder of someone that’s 6′6″ is like being on top of the world!

– The Palico rides in the front seat with Prompto when Ignis drives. It’s too crowded in the backseat for them to be back there, and Prompto can’t help but tease Noct that he gets to hold onto ‘the softest fuzzy buddy in the world!’

– Noctis and the Palico are however, nap buddies. Anytime Noctis starts to doze off, doesn’t matter where – At camp, at the hotel – the Palico is instantly on Noct’s lap, and cuddled close to his chest where they purr and lull both Noctis and themselves off to sleep.

– Ignis is always curious about their tools, and in turn, teaches them how to cook. The Palico, much to Ignis’ surprise, catches on well and becomes the best assistant in the kitchen. He’s still surprised that there’s never one cat hair in anything.

– The Palico respects Cor like they do the commander. Which actually made the Marshal smile, move close and give them a gentle head rub between the ears. Now the Palico runs up to Cor each time they see him, and use their paws to place his hand on their head. Cor is all too happy to gently rub their head and ears while he talks to the boys. [Cor is a cat dad, you cannot convince me otherwise.]

– The Palico also adores Talcott and Iris! Taking a hand in each paw they love to be swung off their feet between the two kids, and the Palico loves to hug Talcott, making Noctis just a little bit jealous.

– The palico always wants to help Cindy in her workshop, but instead gets convinced to climb up onto Cid’s lap and sleeps while Cid gently pets them.

Reblog if you actually have made great friendships on tumblr.

“La Oscuridad Te Espera” (Chapter 1) – Sombra/McCree

itshigh-boop:

mcmedianoche:

Another demon-hunter… but not just any old demon-hunter. This is Jesse McCree: a legend, a myth, a series of stories in his own right.

Sombra sighs, downing the rest of her drink. This had to happen sometime. “I must be getting sloppy,” she says, her voice as smooth as syrup. “If you’re here for me, I’ve made it easy for you, McCree.”

Read on AO3

“Papa Reinhardt, is it true?”

“Is what true, child?”

A tall, freckled girl, no older than 14, bounds up to a nearby table and whispers to the huge, scarred, silver-haired man sat comfortably there. “They say there are demons in this village. Angry spirits. The oni are here. Is that why we’re here? Are you going to fight them?” She looks over at another table, where a short, full-bearded blond man and a tall, voluptuous blonde woman share drinks and a bowl of bread. “Does Papa know?”

The man laughs, rumbling the table but holding his huge stein of beer steady so as not to knock it off the table in his amusement. “Nonsense, Brigitte. Where did you hear that?”

She falters for a moment, smoothing her thick auburn ponytail behind her as she looks around the tavern, then seems to find her resolve as she looks at the locals. “The villagers… It’s all they’ve talked about, all night. Something is destroying the castle at the edge of town. All who go near it are lost. They say…” and here, she lowers her voice, “they say, at night… there are dragons. ”

Reinhardt takes a few sips from his stein and beckons Brigitte to sit down. “We are here for a family vacation, because Hanamura is beautiful this time of year. The oni are just an ancient legend. Only stories.”

Brigitte doesn’t accept this, scooting in closer at the table and staring Reinhardt in the eye. “All stories begin in truth,” she insists. “Do you know this one?”

Sombra grins beneath her hood, shading her glowing, white-gold eyes from view. It’s merely on instinct, as she is currently invisible in the corner of the tavern behind them. She takes a sip of her whiskey, the glass also invisible in her clutches, and waits. The mortals rarely have a clue in these matters. This ought to be good.

Gosh, I just adore Ichika! And I’m loving the banter between McCree and Sombra. Your writing is *chef kiss* magnifique! I can’t wait for more!

I love the idea of Sombra being surly and grumpy about a bad day but McCree sees his adorable Smol wife pouting and just scoops her up and carries her off like a princess for a night of cuddles and ear nibbles (。◕‿‿◕。)

ribbons-halos:

It’s McCree’s mission to right whatever bad things happened during the day to make such a foul mood in his love. Sombra can’t stay in a bad mood for too long when he’s loving up on her and listening to her vent about her worries. 

Hello! If it’s not too much of a bother, could I get some comfort from maybe prompto and Ignis? I work in kind of a high risk job and lately things have been so stressful that it’s really taking a toll on me physically and emotionally ;; thank you!!!

imagined-comfort:

Babe, 

Man, I’m sorry to hear that the job has been stressful on you lately. I mean, I don’t know if I could do what you do. Sure, every job has its days where it’s enough to drive you nuts but–well–I guess what I mean is, I’m well…I’m proud of you. 

I mean it. You take on so much, yet you keep going. It leaves a guy kinda in awe of you. Y’know? 

Like, you inspire me. To do better.

…as silly as that sounds. 

Hello Darling, 

As rare as it is for me to agree wholeheartedly with Prompto, he is correct in saying that we are proud of you. You are doing something that others could not, and that in turn is very inspiring. 

But I do worry for your health and well being. Perhaps to ease your physical pains you should try soaking in a hot bath, perhaps with just a bit of an essential oil, or maybe a very nice smelling bath bomb. 

With the emotional, promise me that you will take some time for you and treat yourself. Perhaps to a good meal at your favorite restaurant, or a sweet treat that you’ve had your eye on for a time, maybe that will ease your soul just a little. 

With Love,
Prompto and Ignis

On Roxas’ 31st day in the Organization, Xemnas had Zexion create a group chat for all the members. On Roxas’ 32nd day in the Organization, Xemans smashed all computers in the castle to ensure the group chat could never be used again. Roxas committed Xemnas’ computer smashing techniques to memory for later use.

Ahhh! Sorry if it’s too early for Thanksgiving prompts but I’m in a mood for McSombra fluff lol. These two don’t strike me as very traditional when it comes to holidays, especially Sombra who never celebrated Thanksgiving in Mexico before. But they start their own traditions together that they continue with their children for years to come. Holidays at their house are a relaxed thing. No stress. But above all, they’re grateful to have found each other, to have a family and home.

itshigh-boop:

No worries! It’s never too late or early for Mcsombra fluff! (ノ≧∀≦)ノ

I agree completely – definitely not the traditional sorts. I’ve always felt like McCree would look at the calendar and be like “Oh, it’s Halloween/Thanksgiving…” but not really care much about celebrating while Sombra doesn’t celebrate holidays much either, and any excuse to celebrate would just be reason for her to go get a drink or something. 

If either one of them were to stress over holiday preparations or hype, they might get a strange look from the other. Still, all either one of them has to do is say ‘I wanna celebrate this holiday,’ and it’ll be done. 

Thanksgiving for them started off with McCree making a comment about it being Thanksgiving back in the States and a cheesy line about how grateful he was to have her. From then on, it becomes a sort of tradition to just bring it up on Thanksgiving and pass a ‘I’m grateful to have you’ not so cleverly disguised as an excuse to flirt, but they will hug one another – it’s nice to just be reminded of all the good things they do have every now and then!

If you want Fluff, I provide! Perfect by Ed Sheeran. It’s so good for a slow dance wherever they are!

itshigh-boop:

For some reason, I imagine them coming across this song before their relationship crossed over into more serious waters.

I can see McCree letting the song play because he personally thinks it sounds nice. He invites Sombra to dance with him, because sometimes he’s random and just wants to enjoy a moment with her. Sombra does so, head against his chest while she listens to the lyrics. When she realizes the words, she can’t help but tease him, wondering if the lyrics reflect some strange fantasy of his. It doesn’t sound like them at all, let alone her.

In which he teases her back, telling her not to be so damn critical over everything – they’re just dancing. They continue to dance, but McCree can’t help but quietly ask her what’s so wrong with wanting the things described in the song with her? 

It’s a question that goes unanswered but it runs through both of their minds as they dance the rest of the song in silence.

so Paradise California is gone

i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.

they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.

this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay

UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018

the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.

EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:

  • Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
  • Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
  • Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
  • Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)

HOW TO HELP/DONATE:

  1. “Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
  2. “Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com

the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.

if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.

if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.

I live 2-3 hours away, and this is a picture of the sun that I took today:

the smoke is this thick, 150 miles away. I can’t imagine what it must be like for the people there 😦

you only feel lonely because you want something.

stop wanting. you are whole. detach yourself from the feeling of need. you are enough.

you only feel lonely bc humans evolved as a social species and were never meant to live in social isolation, slaving away day in day out with minimal contact to other people, that is very superficial at best not a single hint of intimacy, like it is the norm now lmfao no one can overwrite that by “detaching”, quite the contrary, detachment is a sign of depression CAUSED by severe social deprivation

I hate tumblr hot takes like that. our society is broken and anti-social and it’s making us SICK. normalizing this and pretending like it’s your personal failure that you can’t deal with something you were never meant to able to deal with bc we didn’t evolve to be alone is absolutely counter productive

Since you did an ask for “How Hanzo gets Amelie hot under the collar” can I ask for one for how McCree riles up Olivia? (I do feel like nibbling her ears has to happen at some point) Thx, Love ya Ribbon!!! :3

ribbons-halos:

Nibbling her ears definitely does the trick, along with murmuring low into her ear a plethora of endearments. Not to mention how much he needs her, and what he wants to do with her. 

He loves to trail his fingers over her skin. The gentle sensation raises goosebumps at whatever piece of her he can get. Sombra will make a disgruntled noise before angrily grabbing his hand and pulling him closer, as if he has the right to make her feel so soft. 

Carrying her is another one of his tricks. Whether bridal style or throwing her over his shoulder like a bag of flour. She gets sharp and acts like she’s going to elbow him, but he knows she’s getting a little red in the cheeks.
