REC: Untitled Izzy/Stede by MegaDucko (Our Flag Means Death, Stede Bonnet/Izzy Hands)
Nov. 14th, 2025 08:50 pmDear Holly Poly Creator(s),
Nov. 14th, 2025 04:48 pmsettiaiJust to note: this year's requests include Baldur's Gate, Black Ships by Jo Graham, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms, Critical Role: Exandria, Doctor Who, Dragon Age, Gargoyles, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Mass Effect, and Star Wars.
My AO3 account is Settiai.
First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to write me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're creating a fanwork for me! About a poly relationship that I love! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong. ♥
That said, I thought that I'd elaborate a bit on my requests and provide some general prompts in case, like me, you're the type of person who likes to have something to work with. If you're not that type of person, it's totally fine with me if you skip over anything/everything that I've included in this letter. Feel free to use and/or ignore as much of this as you want.

Critical Role: Campaign 4, Episode 6
Nov. 14th, 2025 02:56 amsettiaiNote to self: definitely try to take a 2-3 hour nap after work on Thursdays if you're planning on staying up to watch Critical Role. It makes such a huge difference.
As with previous posts about the current campaign of Critical Role, this will be a combination of quotes, random thoughts, and some speculation. And it's obviously full of spoilers (albeit vague ones in places).
( Spoilers under the cut. )
That was such a good episode. They're finally starting to properly feel like a team of some type, even if they're still a mess.

I'm alive!!!
Nov. 13th, 2025 08:05 amnavelgazedHere's what you missed on my life: got fired, struggled through two months of unemployment, got a new job.
Well, that and I've been working on art and things. Let's break it down:
Art:
After e-begging for comms through my unemployment, I've mostly closed my commissions and I'm working on developing my skills and making merchandise. I've broken out my watercolor supplies and have been trying to work on that, though it's hard to get everything set up to do it. If I had more space at home and a bed that didn't need to be folded up to do work at my art desk it would help, but alas.
I also have stickers in planning on putting up on my kofi shop this weekend! I'm excited to try selling this kind of stuff again. It didn't go well the first time I tried but the cost to profit ratio for stickers is so low stakes that if it doesn't go well I genuinely won't be upset.
Writing:
I don't wanna talk about it
Nails...?
One of my hobbies is nail polish and although I'm done shopping for new shades this year, there are several exciting new additions to my collection. My nails are also longer than they've been in a long time, which is thanks to Anchor and Heart's mermaid tears base coat, the only base coat that's lasted longer than 4 days on me with no peeling. It's my holy Grail and I'm gonna be real upset if I can't get my hands on it once I run out.
Anyway, check out my kofi on my pinned post if you want to see some new art! I'll try to do round ups again at the end of the month. Maybe it'll motivate me to do some stuff creatively.

D&D, Video Games, and a Lack Thereof
Nov. 12th, 2025 10:12 pmsettiaiI took a nap after work so that I'd be able to stay up for D&D tonight, only to wake up from said nap to find out that the game had been cancelled at the last minute. Oops? At least I'm well-rested even if the reason for it isn't happening anymore.
My plan was then going to be to play Mass Effect: Andromeda, but my game doesn't want to load and a bunch of files apparently need re-downloaded to fix it. So I figured that I'd try playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard... only to get the same error message. Thank you, EA, for continually having this issue. I appreciate it so much. Really.🖕🏻
(I have all of the BioWare games through Steam, but they still have to load through the EA app first because EA as a company sucks. And the EA app is a horrible piece of crap that stops working if you look at it wrong, which then leads to files getting corrupted and having to be redownloaded constantly. It's, unfortunately, a common issue.)
Since the universe clearly doesn't want me to play anything tonight, I said "fuck it" and am reading some fanfiction from my Marked for Later list on the AO3 instead. Maybe next time, huh?

Oglaf
Nov. 10th, 2025 07:58 pmsettiaiI've been reading the delightfully porny webcomic Oglaf pretty much since it first started being published back in 2008. (On that note, how on earth has it been almost eighteen years already?)
That said, the creators did an interview that was posted today, and it's very interesting to read if you're remotely a fan of the webcomic.
I was absolutely thrilled to see them mention that they're "trying very hard to get the Ivan story back on track." That's a storyline that hasn't been brought up at all in years and, while it sounds like it definitely has a ways to go before we see it in the comic itself, it's nice to know it's in the works.

Critical Role: Campaign 4, Episode 5
Nov. 9th, 2025 05:00 pmsettiaiI started this past Thursday night's episode of Critical Role before crashing at the break because I desperately needed sleep after the week from hell at work. So let's pick up again now that it's properly the weekend. (Yes, the plan was that I'd finish the episode either Friday or yesterday. No, that didn't happen. Shush.)
As with previous posts about the current campaign of Critical Role, this will be a combination of quotes, random thoughts, and some speculation. And it's obviously full of spoilers (albeit vague ones in places).
( Spoilers under the cut. )
One more episode down, many more to go in the future. Although I do need to try to watch the Fjord/Jester wedding special that dropped recently, because I haven't done that yet.

Age group: 24
Country: Somewhere in Europe
Subscription/Access Policy: Only private posts are vents, those are only for close friends
About me: I'm an adult who's a student, trying to get through life that's not that kind as of now. I'm a lit student, currently second year. I'm very shy and have a hard time talking at first so I like when people approach me first more, it makes it easier.
Main Fandoms: Identity V and Limbus Company! I sometimes dabble into some of my old fandoms like Bungou Stray Dogs and My Hero Academia, but that's very rare as of now and more on other platforms.
Other Fandoms: Occasinaly will talk about for the most part, nothing major: Genshin, Degress of Lewdity, Fear & Hunger Termina, Morimens
Fannish Interests: Fanfic writing, sometimes i like to ramble about what I like and mostly think of ideas. I read when time allows too.
OTPs and Ships: Will only mention my current faves: for IDV: Joscarl, Alvaluca, Anntodrew, DMNoir. for Limbus: Gregclair, Meurcliff, Meurclair
Other stuff I love: Stardew Valley, Umamusume, Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, Vkei, reading. Will probably talk about these in a more casual manner.
Journal info: No children please! I write a lot of nsfw and while it's not directly posted there, I talk about what I write a lot. Also if certain topics like cannibalism, noncon, incest and lolisho squick you out, I recommend not coming here. The latter two are not that present atm but I go back anf forth with what I like a lot so they might be more frequent again.

Nov. 8th, 2025 02:35 pmsettiaiOn Monday, I noticed that the small cat tree that allows the cats to look out the window at people/dogs/geese wandering around outside was looking a little rough. By which I mean that the tallest part of it was noticeably leaning when it had a cat on it.

Age group: I'm 17, will be 18 in March. I know a lot of people don't want minors on their journal so yeah, be warned. Of course I don't mind older folks as long as you aren't weird towards me.
Country: "U! S! A! U-U-U-U! S! A!"
Subscription/Access policy: None at the moment because I don't have any locked entries, and I don't forsee myself really having any.
Fannish interests: Fanart, fic reading/sometimes writing, selfshipping/yume/riako/whatever stuff, oshikatsu culture
What I like to post about: Long form rambles about my life, ideas I have about media I like
Fandoms: Mostly Blue Lock, Cookie Run (CRK/CROB), YGO, rhythm games (PJSK/Enstars to be specific), Vocaloid, and Trauma Center. I mostly post about Blue Lock because I've been very hyperfixated (I'm autistic) for about 4 months at this point. I'm trying to branch out and get into more things as well.
About me: I've used DW for about 3 or so years but this is a new journal, I've had other journals in the past. I've never liked mainstream social media. Problem is I'm only now really figuring out how to properly engage with this site and maybe get some eyes on my journal. I like talking to myself but it gets a bit lonely. By the way, I hate discourse and I'm not pro or anti or neutral anything. If I see something I don't like I block it. And I would assume I needn't say this but just in case, bigots of any kind are not welcome around me.
Other hobbies: Music (I love Interpol), drawing, crafts, reading
Looking for people who are: Also neurodivergent, in the same fandoms as me
Journal info: My entries are pretty long, and I don't cut them unless they contain some kind of sensitive content. I do vent but it's nothing too serious, anything I think would warrant a content warning has one and goes under a cut. I haven't posted much fandom-related content but will definitely do so eventually, so stay tuned...

What I'm looking for in friends/blogs to follow: Anyone who still loves Stargate as much as me, but anyone who's into the same stuff as me, or happens to be a geeky parent.
