Blog has currently gone Genshin Impact. Tread with caution.
(The Untamed) My epic 470k Yi City fix-it fic: Heaven Has A Road But No One Walks It
I'm a Fandom Old with zero patience for drama, antis and other nonsense, and will block anyone trying to pick a fight. Please note that this blog may contain NSFW and "problematic" stuff, and that I suck at tagging. I try to tag for general fandom and obvious spoilers, but have no spoons to remember custom cw tags - if you want to follow me, please be aware of this.
Comments, fun tags and asks will always make me create more - or send me a virtual hug through ko-fi! ♥
Finally - I love getting messages, so go ahead and ASK/TELL me anything! I can be a slow sloth at replying sometimes, but I don't bite. ♥
But what if the 500 437-ish year-old world-saviour villain and child genius were forced to work together? And realized all the things they have in common? And finally found someone who not only understood them but treasured their otherness and weirdness? What then?

there is something so crazy and powerful about having art of your oc that was made by anyone other than yourself. like oh my god you actually exist outside of my own brain that's WILD
See, the problem with character vs character polls is that you will at some point reach the rule of funny. So the real question isn't if One Punch Man Saitama or Goku would win, the real question is:
who wins is not about who is more powerful (I think it's pretty clear that Miss Piggy is physically very strong, she's always as strong as she needs to be to win, but Bugs has mystical, near god-like transformation, charm, and prop powers when it's For the Bit) but whose rules are dictating the scene.
Whoever's the 'hero', the other one loses. That's just how it has to work for both of them.
If Bugs has genuinely earned Miss Piggy's ire, she whoops him. If Miss Piggy is trying to cook Hare Surprise for dinner, he's gonna run her ragged. But there's no automatic winner, here.
However, I think the actual funniest outcome (and the funniest outcome wins in scenarios like this) is a real duck season rabbit season elmer season kind of moment, if you catch my drift. Like we gotta see them both go back and forth and it's gotta be clear that nobody has the clear advantage. Very unstoppable force meets immovable object type situation. Nobody's coming out the winner, there's a close calls on all sides.
And then it turns out that their conflict was triggered by a third party, and that third party gets the full force of their combined attention and wrath. And they get obliterated. Doesn't matter who it is, muppet or cartoon, a living person, whoever. They are toast.
Wile E. Coyote, two milliseconds before he lights a match only to reveal he's surrounded by flammable traps he himself has set and the whole website explodes
I think it's really important to point out one of the major flaws in that highway analogy:
Eminent domain requires payment.
The government cannot come in and merely seize your land under eminent domain and pay you nothing. There is a process & they have to pay you market value for your land and the buildings on it. A couple of my former clients went through this about 15 years ago when the 202 Bypass went through in Montgomery & Bucks County in Pennsylvania. Their houses and land were taken via eminent domain so that the highway could be built, but, I need to say this again: they were paid.
They were paid and there was a process in which they were informed ahead of time. They didn't just drive home one day and find out their home had been snatched, too bad, so sad, no money for you, you should have put your house in a bank vault.
Just taking someone's shit like that without compensation has a name, and it's not eminent domain or anything like it:
It's fucking theft.
(I'm not interested in hearing the same tired shit about how copyright is inherently bad and only protects corporations, because as someone who deals with protecting my livelihood from scammers and scrapers via copyright every goddamned day, this isn't a fun mental exercise/philosophical debate for me, and you're absolutely wrong. Fucking save it for someone ignorant enough and with time to waste on that.)
The highway argument is also disingenuous in that ignores the very real harms caused by the systems that decide which neighborhoods to target and who precisely is going to be displaced. From numerous historically black neighborhoods being demolished to farmers being displaced and left with no livelihood. There has been a great deal of harm done in the name of public good.

https://thenarrativematters.com/eminent-domains-devastating-impact-on-communities-of-color/
There have long been worries about the abuse of eminent domain, and the AI scraping model is far closer to the abusive aspects of eminent domain than any supposed public good aspect.

https://www.purdybailey.com/blog/2020/january/5-famous-cases-of-eminent-domain-abuse/
Anytime someone brings up an argument that states something is for the greater good, always ask yourself "for whose greater good?" Who benefits most, who gets harmed the most, what are the actual harms when you think through the logistics and future implications of the harms and not just the immediate harm, is there remuneration for the harm being caused, is it sufficient?
These are all things that must be asked before proceeding with any so called public works plan. Anyone who tells you otherwise is scamming you.
Oh, completely agreed. I only didn't go that far bc, like, you don't even need to before the argument entirely falls apart. But yeah, if people don't know about how eminent domain has been used to destroy Black neighborhoods in particular, they should read up and ask the questions.

As always, picking what prompts to include was really hard thanks to you guys' wonderful brains, but we hope this list will excite many of you! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut. Please check the FAQ below before sending asks.
FAQ and Rules
What sort of content can I create for this event?
You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content. You're also free to combine these prompts with the prompts of any other event.
Do I need to make 31 things to participate?
Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate oneshots or one continuous fic, or something in-between.
How do I interpret these prompts?
Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you can interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of, be that the whumpee, whumpter, or caretaker. As long as you're having fun!
What are these alts about?
If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.
How do I tag my works and is there an AO3 collection?
It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw content, since we'll be using that tag on this blog too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.
There will be an AO3 collection like every year. It will be linked here once created (closer to October).
What's this I hear about badges/achievements?
For those who want an extra challenge, we come up with a set of achievements each year in addition to the 'completionist' one for you to strive for. Each achievement you complete comes with a cool little badge, hand drawn by our very own Mod Radio, which you can claim at the end of the event. A full list of the achievements will be linked here once created (closer to October).
That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

after the end cretaceous extinction event, basically all megafaunal niches were suddenly empty; and most got filled in some way. proboscideans instead of sauropods, carnivorans instead of theropods, ungulates instead of ceratopsians and hadrosaurs etc...
but the thing is: only *most* got filled to some extent
not all
because there used to be dragons
and now their niche is just *empty*
it's like i can feel the gap they left, in everything from open grassland ecosystems to isolated islands; the world we know is shaped by the absence of a truly big flying predator
no bird could ever fill their niche, because of plain and simple anatomical constraints
The Archon Quest was phenomenal. But once again, the Traveler's selective willingness to give only certain Harbingers the benefit of the doubt continues to make me tear my hair out. Act II Spoilers ⬇
Traveler, my buddy, my darling protagonist, they're saying the same thing. Of course, when it comes from the Doctor, it's pure sophistry. From the Jester, it's a compelling point and look at us, we're allies now!
Narratively, I recognize that this is the point. Dottore adopted the role of the villain purposefully and without hesitation, and the cost is how others perceive him. But I had to laugh throughout this entire scene because come on. The Traveler comes across as completely clueless.
This was such a missed opportunity for an interior monologue line to the tune of "These ideas sound so familiar. Maybe this is what the Doctor was trying to tell me in Nod-Krai."
Reckoning with the reality that Dottore had attempted to communicate this exact same knowledge to the Traveler—however questionable his methods may have been—would have fit so perfectly with the Signora arc, too. I can only assume that they're leaving this as a future plot point closer to Dottore's resurrection because it otherwise makes no sense not to touch on it in the Complex Feelings About Harbingers patch.
Anyway, I want a three page apology letter on Dottore's Pantalone's desk by Monday.
I wish adhd didnt have the reputation of the oh my god you people cant do anything disorder because i feel like i am barely staying afloat at every single moment of my life dawg. Maybe i have adhd 2 but um jesus fucking christ, jesus christ,

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.
dream states and dissociation and dim senses of awareness are the best shit in writing i love it when a character doesnt know what tf is going on and isnt lucid
