Reblog If You’ve Read Fanfictions That Are More Professional, Better Written Than Some Actual Novels.

If you join one of my drawing live streams on Twitch, you can help me create beautiful shitposts like this (and actual nice pieces too)

My username there is MiscWitchling! https://www.twitch.tv/miscwitchling

Today was my first livestream (sorry I only announced it on my Twitter and Insta, I was nervous) I ended up drawing Minerva and Glass from Sanguine: Monster Magical Girl, Al and Bert (but I want to add more to those before posting) and this lovely thing.

I haven’t been active all that much… more active on Twitter. But! I love coming back and seeing everything because this place is like a treasure trove of old fandom stuff

I skipped ahead to read Clive and Jason’s (and Neil and Jason’s) farewell a few days ago. Finally got there naturally. Still processing.

yi city trio musician au? what genres would they be in, what would their fandoms be like?

Awww yeah, love a musician AU!

I have thought about the Yi City quartet as a literal string quartet before: Xiao Xingchen on first violin, A-Qing on second, Song Lan on cello, and Xue Yang on viola (lol). But in terms of more popular music?

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan made a name for themselves as a duo, playing melody-driven indie pop/rock with poetic but thoughtful and socially conscious lyrics. Their later work included more love songs. Xiao Xingchen plays synths and does most of the lead vocals, and he tends to bring a dreamy, almost shoegazey quality to the music, but he also is known for artful, complex electric guitar work. Song Lan also plays guitar, as well as bass and other string instruments as necessary; favorites are erhu and cello. He'll sing backup with the occasional feature vocal, but they also have a fair number of solid instrumental tracks.

They got quite famous (at least within their genre) but refused to sign to a major label. Fans actually ranged a fair amount in age. The most vocal fans did skew younger, and the most annoying of these were the hipster crowd and music snobs ("they're so intelligent/progressive/underrated," "they were better before they got popular") as well as the obsessive, borderline stalkerish ones who also loudly shipped them. (Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen were a romantic item eventually, but that was not public knowledge.)

Unfortunately, they had a messy personal and professional breakup, and they both sort of dropped off the map for a while, to an honestly impressive degree. Song Lan went back to school and would occasionally put out a stripped back, broody single on his personal page with zero promotion, but Xiao Xingchen disappeared.

Xue Yang, meanwhile, works thousands of miles away, and he's an underdog, loud punk rocker, guided less by any political philosophy and more just stirring up a reaction. Main instrument is electric guitar. He's performed with a handful of other artists over the years, but the stints tend to be short. His fanbase is small but dedicated, including a lot of angry young people who resonate with his "message" and/or his looks.

And then, he has a new band, and they're putting out music that is a little less screaming, a little more melodic, with a more consistent, left-leaning message? Sometimes? The drummer is an energetic teenage girl who was busking with a set of buckets on the street before the bassist/guitarist took her under his wing and they both eventually joined Xue Yang's act. The guy hangs around at the back of the stage, sunglasses indoors and mostly not facing the audience, playing bass to complement Xue Yang's guitar most of the time -- and Xue Yang and A-Qing have enough stage presence that he can fade into the background just a little. But especially when he's on guitar, shredding a fancy solo, he's impossible to overlook, and the rumors that Xiao Xingchen is playing seedy clubs with a punk group begin to seem less and less like conspiracy theories....

AU ask game

What the actual fuck, Jason

He doesn’t have paperwork and instead of asking a high up official to help him out, starts telling the border guard all her deepest darkest secrets and letting her know that he saw them all.

What. The. Fuck.

😂 I hope he’s been enjoying them!

anyway,. back to your usual queue'd posts.

Unfortunately, I simply do not shut up 😅

The joy I feel in my heart when I click on the karmic doom tag and people besides me are posting in it 🥰

If you have a rare pair with no fandom, just never shut up about how great it is! Eventually, others will agree and join in! It really works!

Am I going to grow to like Zara?
