✧ Velvet ✧ mid-20s ✧ they/them ✧ ace ✧
Part-time writer, full-time clown.
I adore Boothill with my entire being and spend my free time picking him, Aventurine, Mydei and Anaxa apart as individuals as well as together :')If you want to use a name for me then Velvet is fine, although I’d prefer not to be addressed with any name, especially if we haven’t talked before.
Important:
I‘m very strongly anti-harassment in regards to fictional matters. Don't harass real people over fictional characters. Mute and block liberally instead of trying to police what people do in their spare time. I'm extremely tired of drama so I don’t engage with it; I‘d rather use my limited energy on things I love.
Please don’t engage with me if you purposefully interact with content you know that upsets you and insult others/start and engage with drama while watering down terms used for real, living victims because of fiction and agree with the anti mindset.
If you condone harassment in fandom spaces, save me time and block me.
I believe in staying in your lane and being chill 👍 Fandom is supposed to be fun. The world is already burning enough as it is. Our time on this planet is very limited, and we should spend it wisely. Pixels will never be more important than real, living humans.
My twitter is an old, unused account that I unearthed to have a place to scream in. I didn't expect to stick around and only started to actually use it at the very end of 2023.
Most of my rambles are on bluesky. Although be warned: It can be very nsfw.I don't rt a lot of NSFW art but I do write adult fiction and share a lot of NSFW headcanons/brainrot on bluesky, so I am very uncomfortable with minors following or interacting with me and would appreciate if you didn’t 🙇
I may block you if I notice you're a minor. I block super freely in general and I promise it's almost guaranteed nothing personal.I keep my timeline and following small so I don't get overwhelmed and burned out. I also don't go out of my way to make new connections since I have very little energy, so I'm very selective with following back (and I hardly ever check the profiles of people that follow me), but even if I don't follow you I will still more than happily talk if you approach me first! (Especially if you want to talk about my OTPs, please don't hesitate if you want to talk about them!)If I don't like/respond then I didn't see your message. (I have push notifications off, but they are not filtered, so I will see them when I check my socials.)
Media I may post about:
HSR has been my main fixation since 2023, but I also like TGCF, FFXIV, BG3, and FromSoft games! (Especially Bloodborne and Sekiro.)
Although it's 99.9% gonna be about Boothill, Aventurine, Mydei and Anaxa.
Regarding spoilers/leaks:
I’m mostly spoiler-free. I usually don’t talk about spoilers (unless Boothill/Aven/Mydei/Anaxa are involved), and if I do, I keep them tagged for two weeks. I also don’t rt untagged spoiler art during that time.On bluesky, my spoiler hashtag is always "#hsr[patch number]spoilers", i.e: #hsr3.0spoilers, so you're welcome to mute those.I’m unlikely to talk about leaks, but if I do, then only characters and their potential kits. Usually I keep leaks away, though, unless a character I really look forward to is upcoming (which doesn't happen too often).
Good luck if you actually want to attempt deciphering what this biblically accurate ship chart means.
This doesn't include every ship I like—really just the ones that stand out the most to me (and also because it would get even more messy otherwise.)I only have a few hard nos, but I share those ships only with people I trust cause I'm not gonna rain on anyone's enjoyment. Everything else I'm indifferent about. However, the more fond I am of a certain ship romantically, the less likely I am to like other romantic ships involving the characters.How much I like a ship, and how much I think about it, heavily depends on how much I like the characters as individuals. I don't like being sold a "dynamic" (especially if I have no attachment to them individually) and much prefer seeing two characters grow and then ponder what their dynamic would be like myself. To me, that's the fun in shipping.I have two modes: obsessed to the point where I dream about the ship, or casual enjoyer. Naturally I mostly talk about the former category.
OTPs I've had over the years:
- Sheith
- Mynaxa
- Bootrine
- Haino
- Hengjing
- Hualian
- Kagehina
- Makoharu
I can enjoy any dynamic as long as the portrayal feels true to their character (and whether they top or bottom is not one of them.)
I'm mostly a monoshipper for my OTPs and usually only have one ride-or-die ship per series. (Not by choice, I just get very intense about the few ships that manage to grab me.) HSR is actually a first where I have more than one ship I really love.
For the most part I don't mind other ships or can enjoy them an actually normal amount, but the ships above are the ones that had the biggest chokehold on my brain where I just couldn’t think of anything else for an extended period of time (many months or even years).Current fixation: bootrine and mynaxaI can't ship something unless I care about both characters as individuals first, but I do enjoy tossing my favs together and wondering what their relationship would be like (romantic, platonic, or otherwise.) So while I say I'm a monoshipper, it's with an asterisk. I just can't actively brainrot over ships that break up my OTPs, and I'm usually not fond of certain other ships involving them.Sheith will forever be dear to me cause I was insane for them and only them for three years straight. I don't think much about kagehina or makoharu anymore but they still deserve a mention since they really kickstarted my love for writing back in the day. For cyhaino I have a heavy QPR preference, and I'm also a big fan of QPR jinghengavenhill as well as Boothill/Aven/Anaxa/Mydei/JY/DH all in a QPR (see my ship chart/tree lol).
Note: I hc and read all of my ships as aspec in one way or another and also write them that way. Being ace myself, it heavily affects how I view relationships and the nuances of intimacy and affection.
I ship characters for their story, chemistry, and potential, not the shape their relationship takes or what label they use, and I reflect it in my writing and characterization.

WIPs I'm currently focusing on the most:
avenhill ✧ slowburn, canon compliant ✧ 30k+ words ✧ first draft
Boothill and Aventurine met in the past and were somewhat lovers (it's complicated), but became estranged due to everything that happened. Then they work together on taking down Oswaldo.
no ship ✧ character study, hurt/comfort ✧ ~10k words ✧ first draft
Giving Boothill the Myriad Celestia trailer hoyo didn't.
avenhill ✧ lighthearted, AE shenanigans, fluff ✧ ~7k words ✧ planning
Boothill wants to get Aven a surprise gift.
avenhill ✧ mature ✧ AU, slowburn, eventual smut ✧ ~25k words ✧ planning
Vampire + Vampire Hunter AU
Wordcounts are a rough estimate because I'm really bad at guessing them and things usually get way longer than I anticipate.
