Hi there! Sorry for bothering you, could I ask you if I can be unblocked on Twitter (I am @sunheles and not minor) please? Cause I follow you on Hoyolab and I absolutely love your writing and posts but you blocked me on Twitter (probably bc I have a private account with no bio nor posts ahahah). Thanks!
mAKING ME SUFFER WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY SOBS you know who I am... you and Ivory are bullies ok
(Sorry, I’m the anon that warned you about MCD in the other ask and I felt bad leaving on that note, so please have a funny/light question)
Do you like any food that is generally considered “cursed”? I am infamous for pilk (pepsi and milk)
occasionally i think of what animals diluc and kaeya would have as pets (other than diluc being a bird lover of course) and i remember dilucs pet turtle... who do you think has dilucs turtle now? they live so long, perhaps adelinde doted on the turtle while diluc was on his little adventure. id like to think they threw the turtle birthday parties, and kaeya continued them on while diluc was gone... 🐢🐢🐢
I think Diluc may still have the tortoise just maybe not inside? It is probably in the garden, depending what kind it is. If it was a desert tortoise, it was probably returned to Sumeru to live out its happy tortoise days somewhere safe. Kaeya, however, I always pictured adopting something weird and unwanted- in one of my little side fics he mistakenly adopts a skunk and named her Chardonnay.
Sorry, I noticed you had a few asks about danmei and I’ve been following you for a while so i wanted to let you know. Although SVSSS is one of my faves, I definitely do not recommend it for you– I’ve read entire character studies and fix-it AUs about the MCD and grief experienced by a character. Although it’s clear that the character is alive, an entire plot arc is dedicated to someone grieving them. I just wanted to let you know bc i figured that would be triggering
why do you make me suffer???????? why do you torture me??????? I'm literally in tears rn
I was in one of the eclipse states this year, so this is a new consuming thought for me, but would you travel to a different location to experience a total solar eclipse?
Wait so your no.1 ship is Klk and no.2 ship is Ratiorine. Owl x peacock ships!!!!! P.S. I'm absolutely in love with your writing.
I just wanted to ask if you'll continue "He's a star (and he wants you to rail him)" on AO3 because it's SOOOOO GOOD!!
People out there complaining about gamblers paradise when there's servers out there that will ban if you post the opposite dynamic doing, idk, a HUG or eating a pocky. Ridiculous imo. Plus, they can always make their own totally switch friendly server yknow.. Why come here ti essentially just dump on you, it IS rude af
Yeah I know. I've seen them up close and personal. The fact any vers is allowed at all is considered nice, and to completely allow it in sfw is nearly unheard of. Many hard fixed shippers would probably argue that Paradise /is/ a switch server because of that, but I don't mind. If that's what they think, there's other servers out there.
Anon was being polite and you just jumped at them like this damn
You've always been such a loud advocate of Switch/Verse, and suddenly you create the exact same kind of server you've been criticising all along... You have to admit it isn't really on brand
Another long answer so hopefully I don't need to repeat myself about this.
If you think that me saying "I am not required to meet a random faceless stranger's made up expectations of me" is impolite, then oh well. Because it's extremely rude to expect someone else to cater to your opinions of how they should be. It's also rude to scold, shame, or belittle someone for standing up for themselves and calling out what they feel is unfair and unkind. I will not apologize for standing up for myself when I've done nothing wrong but fail to meet an imaginary Switch Shipper KPI.
Go look at other ship fixed servers because Gambler's Paradise is EXTREMELY Switch friendly to only restrict nsfw where dynamic actually matters. I can name at least one space that doesn't even allow switch creators to post their work or be shared. It's a bannable offense in some others to bring it up.
The #Switch-And-Vers room is there for anyone who wants it locked behind a role, and invisible to the ones who don't want to see it. At time of typing, 46% of the server members have that role. 54% do not and they are not required to.
If you think this server is restrictive or intolerant to vers/aventio- you just don't like people having a preference at all.
I will always advocate for tolerance, not force feeding that everyone has to be the same and have absolutely no preferences of dynamic. That has never been my "brand" and never will be. People are allowed to like different things so long as they're not being assholes about it, and that includes a switch person requiring fixed people to switch. The only thing I've ever asked for is tolerance of switch'rs and being nice to them just like they would another fixed. I have never, and still do not, understand the hostility to switch- nor am I hostile to reverse in the ships I'm more fixed in.
I have always had preferences. For example: I prefer Luckae in most things and have for a very long time now, I talk about it pretty openly. I joke with the CrownFinch server sometimes that I need to recruit more Luckae leans because there's so much Kaeluc in that house. It's not a secret. Kaeluc is just more interesting to me as a HC than Aventio is, so I enjoy switching more in KLK than Ratiorine.
Unfollow button is right there and so is mute/block. I recommend you use it if that bothers you for some reason.
i saw that the Ratiorine Server is fixed for NSFW content. is there a reason for this? i had interest in joining but i'm not really into the exclusivity of t/b dynamics (which is why i've always enjoyed following you for a long time), and was hoping for a nice switch server. i was surprised to see it fixed with you in modding because you've always been switch before
Long answer incoming because ???? Huh???
Gambler's Paradise is more flexible than most fixed servers, tbh. Vers/Aventio is allowed in the SFW areas completely and there is one (1) nsfw room locked and gated behind a role for posting spicy things. We're very tolerant, but the server is dedicated ratiorine over anything else.
I'm kinda struggling to see what you expect me to do or say here? Do I really NEED to explain myself because you made an assumption and put an expectation on me? Isn't that a little unfair and kind of mean? Like... am I supposed to feel bad I disappointed you? Am I supposed to apologize that I didn't do what YOU expected me to?
Come on now. Don't be entitled and push your whims and expectations on people you don't even have the courage to face.
I have always been more heavily leaning / fixed-ish on Wriolette, Haikaveh, and now Ratiorine. Nothing new. I'm switch friendly and OK but that doesn't mean I personally or actively switch all of my ships. I have go-to and preference like everyone else. I don't mind seeing the reverse and it does not bother me to exist or be enjoyed by other people- but it does nothing for me. I wanted a space that makes me happy and is filled with things I enjoy.
I hope you find what you're looking for, and I hope you didn't mean to sound like a rude ass, but this was rude as hell and I genuinely hope you don't join my server if you have that sort of attitude towards people making stuff in the fandom. No one should be required to meet your expectations, fulfill your hopes, or cater to your tastes unless you're paying them.
Regarding danmei:
Oh, for sure! MXTX has a type she likes, and that is to make the characters suffer quite a bit. Out of all of them, SVSSS is probably thr tamest, and even that one has temporary MCD (the guy has a backup body essentially and wakes up immediately afterwards)
But yes the genre itself loves those tropes... If you do end up exploring more of the genre, the website Novelupdates is very useful. If you didn't use it beforr, it has a robust tagging system and you can search by tags (like ao3)
Good to know. I don't read as much as I honestly should. Danmei is just a dangerous territory for me so I keep a respectful distance. Even the animated heavens official blessing kinda messes with me ;;;; so I'll probably just going to stick to my manhua and webcomic/toon list for now. Gotta test how many times can the "help I got reincarnated as X character!" can be used before I get bored.
Hello!! I wanted to let you know how much I love how you characterize diluc and kaeya! What are your thoughts on them and jealously? Like it makes me giggle thinking about prerelationship kaeya being jealous of Donna bc she gets to be so blatantly "in love"" with diluc and unconsciously show it off and he feels like he isn't allowed to do that so gets pouty abt it OR smth
Awe thank you!
When they are still young and/or getting together, probably insanely jealous but maybe not even realizing it. Touching, marking- anything to showcase. Standing a liiiiiiiiiiittle too closeeee.... everyone fucking knows but they are doing this peacocking mating dance around each other and never admitting it.
Once they're post fight and established? Kaeya probably finds situations like Donna amusing in a weird twisted way. She can dream forever but she will never have a drop. It's his little thing~ so he can smile in knowing and take pride in it. Instead of getting jealous, he gets cocky. Like haha, bitches that's /mine/ and you have no chance. Have a lovely day, Ma'am, (I'm going to go home fuck the man you can only dream about until one of us cries).
I don't honestly think Diluc would mind Kaeya being friendly to get jealous- that's how he is, and he would trust him. Kinda the journey of their coupling to trust each other again- yeh? However, if someone tries to FORCE Kaeya, or makes him uncomfortable, the full brunt of hell is unleashed on the poor soul. It would never be Kaeya's fault.
"You didn't have to throw it /that/ hard, Master Diluc."
"I did."
my internet flopped so i don't know if the earlier one was sent. thank you for the threads and fics you write, they make my day better and i always look forward to them.
