My life has been very chaotic this winter. We bought our first house, which ended up not having any proper heating system (long story), which led to us having the pipes freeze and burst a total of three separate times in addition to needing to install a heat source (which could be its own novella of malfeasance, but the highlight is that they cut a hole in our wall and left it for 2 weeks before they finished the job) and I've also been in three separate car accidents this year. I'm replacing my car for the second time since the beginning of the year, and I've had to cancel a medical procedure due to the lack of transportation. All of this has left me with thousands of dollars of debt, even though we did get lucky in a few ways. Honestly, we could be doing a whole lot worse than we are, given everything that's happened, but still, things aren't great.

I'm including a little bright side here because I'm trying to be transparent about what's going on. We did our annual craft show, and it went really well. We're going to bring cosplay prop 3D printing commissions (including certain magical golden items~) and some YUGIOH MERCH to the Etsy store for the first time! (I'll post pics and links when they're ready!) Baby Boy is healthy and growing like a weed! We had insurance coverage for all three car crashes, and nobody got hurt. We've still got a roof over our head.

Now, on to the commission details!

$15 for 1500-2000 words

Yu-Gi-Oh only. Ship fics and non-ship fics. Smut allowed. Friendship/platonic, qpr, poly, het, yuri, and yaoi all allowed.

You can give me a vague prompt, a specific prompt, or let me generate a prompt/let my imagination go wild. All are viable options.

Pretty much all genres are on the table: angst, whump, fluff, smut, romance, just please don't ask for action because it makes me struggle.

I'll write (almost) any ship, but I will write faster for characters/ships that I'm well familiar with/accustomed to:

Seto Kaiba

Mokuba Kaiba

Ryou Bakura

Duke Devlin

Joey Wheeler

Ishizu Ishtar

Kisara

Marik Ishtar

Three slots are currently open for round one. There will be a second round after the first three are complete.

It's been a long time since I have seen this much snow in the Netherlands. ☃️

It looks so magical! ✨️

ZUUUUULLLL !

Did another cosy photoshoot, this time with my guinea pig, Lies. 💛 She nibbled on the books (as I totally expected she would). Lies always destroys my props, so I tend not to use my best ones anymore.

I'm a little sad that my tiny books are now a bit damaged, but I hope they were super tasty lol. 🤭 And yes, they’re real books! The red one is a German pocket dictionary, and the others are in French - so I have no idea what they’re about, but they look cute. 📚

Starting October 19, 2025, everyone is invited to participate in a week-long celebration of everything Smile and X. Additional info below:

Use the hashtag #SmileXWeek2025 when uploading your contribution/s. This is for added visibility, and to also allow this account to showcase the posts.

The prompt list is released ahead of time to ensure that everyone has time to prepare for the event before it officially starts. Release date was determined through a poll in the SmileX server.

Any medium is allowed. Whether you’re a traditional or digital artist, you prefer to write fanfics, or maybe you’d rather write a song - the sky is the limit!

Please don’t feel pressured to create “masterpieces” for this event. Even if it’s just something simple like a doodle you worked on for 10 minutes or a short drabble, it is just as appreciated as any other work by the community ❤ two cakes is better than one, after all.

The prompts are mainly for inspiration. There are no hard rules to how you approach your own work. Choose a word from the list or combine them together, it’s up to you!

NSFW is allowed, just remember to tag and censor accordingly.
