Feeling nostalgic for Tales of Arcadia tonight

25.04.2024 📖 today's anthy!

i need finish reading this book because i got half way through and i really wanted to look up fanart because everything described sounded so cool but then i got spoiled for the ending of the first book and it just turned me off of reading it 😭 i really like gideon and harrow though and i was enjoying the book a lot !! so im going to give it another try on the train on my way to see my friend. theyr the one who gifted the book to me actually haha

[ID by @fagofgod: three versions of a drawing of anthy from revolutionary girl utena. she is wearing a pink and white jacket and a pair of frayed jeans. she is sitting on the floor outside, leaning against a tree, holding up a book next to her face. she is looking up to the side with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, lips parted. the book she is holding is gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir. there is a colourful charm hanging from the book, presumably acting as a bookmark.

the first version of the drawing shows it in full. the second version zooms in to show the frayed end of anthy's pants as well as the book she is holding. the third version zooms in to show the book and anthy's face. end ID.]

Who Somewhat Saw Coming Through Portal (Wrong Answers Only Edition)

DISCLAIMER: This started out as a joke post, took a turn into interesting fanfic ideas territory and mostly didn't find it's way back. Overall, it's meant to be something fun rather than actual serious meta.

.

Filed Under: Closest to Actual Likeliness (but Mostly Just A Cute Thought)

The Blacksmith Herself:

Her forge seems to be in a space separate from the rest of the Ever After. She does have to leave to get groceries at some point. The portals are her preferred method of travel for getting around, and Afterans, like Somewhat, are always excited to see her.

Filed Under: More of an Interesting Fanfic Idea I'll Never Write

Penny:

Gets to be on this list bc one of my current inking practices is the Faun from Pan's Labryinth, which got me thinking about Del Toro movies and how Pinocchio in his recent adaptation died and talked to Death a couple times before returning to life. The idea of Penny doing something similar, but traveling through the Ever After each time, seems kinda cool to me.

Pietro and Maria:

We didn't see them in the epilogue/Beyond because they got lost Odysseus-style on the way to Vacuo. I realize getting lost in something as large as Amity Colosseum isn't likely (also it did canonically arrive in the kingdom), but I still find the idea fun. They were outside at the wrong time and got whisked away by a sandstorm (tornado in Wizard of Oz-style) to the Ever After. Older Characters Deserve Fantastical Adventures Too Okay

Filed Under: Actually In Line With The Original Joking Tone I Was Going For For This Post

Taiyang:

His 'assignment' is to keep the Relic of Choice's Vault secure, but he accidentally tripped and fell into the space that led to the Ever After.

Headmaster Theodore:

Shade has its own portal to the Ever After (through the Vault maybe) and Theodore regularly visits.

Filed Under: tbh not entirely sure how to categorize this one, probably fanfic again?

Summer:

Somewhat mistakes her for a grown-up Ruby and talks to her like she is. It takes Summer some time to stop being confused and catch on, but then asks Somewhat to tell her about Ruby when she does. Though it now occurs to me that Somewhat wouldn't remember a lot about Ruby, so perhaps this leads Summer to retracing rwby's path through the Ever After like they did Alyx to learn about who her daughters became.

Watching a fandom make the same mistakes as a fandom I used to be in sure is an Experience

#on the one hand it is the fixate about fictional characters space #and the other you all are looking way too deeply into a character you seem to dislike #just the writing is not that deep #I am definitely not leaving my corner but it’s hard not to watch out of absurd fascination

What I Should Be Doing: actually writing that fic I'm supposed to be writing or something

What I'm Actually Doing: Falling deeper into an html/css rabbit hole with little to no intent of coming back out

#still have no idea what i'm doing really #but also understand it better sort of #I have An Idea I want to try #if i end up frankensteining together my own work skin that would be hilarious

Sometimes you're a Serious Fanfic Writer

and sometimes you take a sharp turn down down Tomfoolery Lane and no intention of going back anytime soon

#tfw you realize you've been taking things way too seriously for the past week #which may be in part due to some stressful life things #so you decide f-it and take nothing seriously

[im-the-king-of-the-ocean]

Try and learn how to do a work skin on ao3 I said

It would be fun I said

#i do not know what i'm doing and i have three tutorials open #this is fine

[im-the-king-of-the-ocean]

do hugs always make you feel this warm?

At the end of the day, what I keep coming back to I think, is that it’s incredibly frustrating as a writer to not know if the little details I put in are actually landing.

I know that’s what I signed up for and I do try to temper my expectations accordingly, but at the same time, there’s the question of why should I bother? If it'll be the same result both with or without them, why expend the energy creating them?

#i know i just need to walk away from it for a little while #and i'll probably feel better #I know deleting it isn’t the answer but it’s so so tempting #just rid myself of this mental debate #and damn the consequences #I am sick of working and working and working for Nothing

[im-the-king-of-the-ocean]

The thing about returning to Souls, what it can be boiled down into, is that yes, writing it again is fun, sure

but also all the problems and frustrations that came with it returned too

#...and i still don't have a solution #we'll see how it goes i suppose #i have some ideas about how i can make some things better #so that's a good start at least
