I feel like tumblr should be bigger fans of The Blues Brothers. It's a movie that has everything we value as a community. Attention and respect to pioneering black musicians, open hostility to nazis, open defiance to police, Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher and flamethrower, a soundtrack that goes hard as hell, John Belushi so blasted on cocaine that he continues to do somersaults despite having a broken ankle. It's got it all!

#blues brothers #seriously don't people talk about this masterpiece of a movie more often? #it's legit one of the best movies ever made

DAMN. Just finished chapter 17 of Firefight and whooh. I cannot articulate how excited and thrilled I am for this new direction. I love your Death Wish fic and i'll be absolutely damned if I don't continue to love this one with just as much, if not more, fervor. You're an incredible writer. You immerse me in the environments, the sensations, the inner workings, and the emotions of these characters while your words seep both their souls and yours. I really just wanted to tell you how enjoyed your writing is. I look forward to each update with patience and support, and if you chose to end it, life got in the way, or any other reason, I would continue to support you as a writer and artist while repeatedly reading your works. Death Wish is the length of a decent novel and I've reread it about 4 times, each experience unique and loved because there's always something new and poignant to find in your writing. There's so much love and intent in your work, and it's so greatly appreciated. You're my favorite fic writer, thank you for all that you do. Keep doing what you love!!

waghs at you quietly. dude thank you so much you are far too kind to me aaaaaaaa

i have still a LOT of firefight to go!!!! there’s gonna be a planned hiatus in april as i am going away but i have never once abandoned a story and i won’t start now LMAO

#firefight au #fic stuff #I’ll be honest I’ve been VERY nervous abt having a hiatus as someone who updates so regularly #I don’t want to leave anyone hanging and I definitely feel like I’ve set the expectations for updates pretty high LMAO #but unfortunately I will be physically unable to update as I will have zero computer access #when I started writing firefight in NOVEMBER I had no idea I’d still be writing it when this trip came around #that I’ve been planning for uh. four years. so. #but I promise promise promise the moment I’m back home I will be continuing hiatus is not a death knell #just a legit physical limitation LMAO #I’m seriously planning to bring a notebook with me and write in it even if I can’t update so here’s hoping it doesn’t get wet HAHAHA #ok for real thanks for the lovely message I just wanted to use this chance to warn people bc it’s been bugging me that I haven’t said #LOVE YOU SMOOCHES YOU ARE TOO KIND XO REM

I've seen a lot of posts about orphaning vs deleting vs posting anonymously and people exhorting authors to never ever delete their work, and I think they always make me cranky because of this:

Whatever emotional attachment a reader has to a fic will never be stronger than the emotional attachment the writer has to it.

Maybe it's not true of every fic (and I have orphaned a couple fics in the past), but writing is frequently an emotional task. The act of putting your own creations out there is an emotional act, and one that can leave you feeling very vulnerable.

I struggled for a while wanting to delete some of my works. Knowing that people would read twenty of my works in a day and move on without so much as a word made me incredibly uncomfortable. Those twenty fics comprised an entire year of my life, an entire year of daydreaming and imagining and composing. Those were all my bus rides, what I thought of as I fell asleep, where my mind wandered when I did chores. It felt like having strangers walking through my brain, looking around silently, and leaving.

I'm not going to say everyone feels that way, because I know many people do not. My point is that in putting their work into the world, authors are putting pieces of themselves into the world, an act that can leave them feeling very vulnerable, and therefore it is their right to delete it when that becomes too difficult for whatever reason. It's not a moral failing, and it's not even really taking away something from readers. Sometimes the things we enjoy are ephemeral. Easy come, easy go.

Fandom really needs to ease off on people who delete their fics.

#on writing #fanfic #ao3 #for the record I got over my feelings by turning off kudos emails #highly recommend if you feel the way I do #it seriously improved my relationship to my fics and ao3 in general #I get that people love certain fics but like #the writer is just a person who made something for free and no longer wants it out there #that's legit #continuing my habit of posting random essays on Friday afternoons when people have better things to do than be on tumblr

and yet another day of me being mad at SM for the way they treat WayV

#i just saw the new video and omfg WHY #why is the staff making it seem like wayv are some unpopular nugus #the most streamed song from any nct unit is a wayv song #people love to see them perform and their disography is amazing #i don't like using this word lightly but that was legit gaslighting #if they are comfortable showing this shit on camera then i don't even want to imagine what they tell the members off screen #did they expect the fans to take their side?? #i hope this stupid label burns seriously #wayv #nct

Genuinely stop dming me if I don’t know you I’m going to ignore them. This is the third time I’ve had to say this. Do not dm me if I do not know you. It’s not difficult. I have had it in my pinned that I don’t like dms since I MADE it but nobody listened and I was lenient with it but I am going to crack down because I’m getting real fucking sick of people ignoring my boundaries. Just don’t dm me it’s not hard. Unless you have something important to say DO NOT DM ME. And even then I’d much rather you just send an ask.

#tzu rambles #it’s legit just a boundary everyone’s ignored are you fucking serious #STOP!!!! I don’t know you!!!! #and idk if I can turn dms off but I really don’t want to bc there ARE people I’m chill with dming me #yk like my FRIENDS. #no this isn’t /nm fuck you #the last two where /nm but seriously it’s driving me insane #I’m on the verge of blocking people

People who can find inspiration in all the littlest things are just ? So amazing ? See a funny little vintage toy at the thriftstore? New character with a whole lot of personality! An empty soda bottle left on the side of the road ? Let’s give it a backstory ! An abandoned house that’s almost falling apart? Very miniature aliens live there! Like ….how do you do that ? How does your brain do that? Incredible….

#I aspire seeing any object and just being creative as hell with it #pix habla #seriously….. legit how ???????????????????? #I feel like I could when I was little but now I just can’t see things in a more colorful way like that #it makes me sad but seeing artists who can still put color in things is so reassuring in a way #it’s really nice I’m happy they exist #the world really needs people like this in it

Also, I have to say, big props to the audio mix/design folks on this show, because I straight up thought the sound of a door creaking open was in my real life, otherwise empty apartment, and almost just leapt out of my goddamn chair.

Anyway, I will resume listening now that I've figured out I am not being burgled and my heart rate is under control.

#worlds beyond number #wbn spoilers #legit tho. pay your sound people well folks. do you know how few people ever wanted to do audio when I was in college. #because audio is a BITCH. and if it's at all off it is the FIRST thing anyone notices. #like in all seriousness the imagery of this show is really really stellar but the sound design behind it knocks it out of the fucking park #straight up there is no point where I cannot picture the FULL scene here to the point of like. point of view #and it is in no small part because of how well-done the sound design is.

Everyone seems to know Zuko was banished but they don't know why or how and I feel like that is important to world-building. Like Ozai knew that if he told everyone he burned his son's face in an Agni Kai, that might not go over so well with the general population. No one even seems to connect those two dots, they assume Zuko got into a training accident and then was banished for whatever reason, because it might be unbelievable to them that those two things are connected at all.

#atla #avatar the last airbender #just a little thought don't take it too seriously #legit only the people who were at the Agni Kai would know and they were all generals and stuff #everybody else doesn't know shit and i think Ozai did that on purpse

This is all about a fictional character that I'm still emotional over. In the end, it's all fiction and I'm aware of that - but there's also a reflection in how certain characters are treated in comparison with real life outlooks and experiences of actual humans who aren't fictional...

I also believe that there's room for dark shit, messed up shit, evil characters and that these aspects of fiction don't always reflect the author's true self. We're story tellers. I like my dark, fucked up shit the same as many other people - but in the end, I don't like cruelty in real life. I don't like a lot of shit that I'd happily write about, because it causes a story to be told - and something to think about, or things to hold up to society and say 'hey, lookit'.... And sometimes, it just for shits and giggles, if we're being real about things. However, I will forever be pissed off over how certain shit played out where one fictional character is concerned, and here's just a small bit of why. It involves both fiction and reality, and the reality that sometimes, some characters are treated in ways that reflect how some people are seen in real, every day life...

They did Glenn Rhee wrong in TWD main series.

They took meaning from his character outside of being Mr. Maggie for a good portion of the show. They didn't allow much back story either; what do we actually know of Glenn from the show's history? Not the comics or games or anything but the show? Really, what do we know? When they were in the prison and he was very angry, that was probably one of the highlights of him not being a ray of sunshine somehow, or a positive aspect ready to overcome the darkness. Steven Yeun has spoken on how flat he felt the character was served when it came to emotional reactions beyond a certain point. Goodness isn't a bad characteristic at all, neither is optimism, but there is a sense of lacking within Glenn's stories that don't show the layers of personality and worries and struggles behind those aspects of self. The only real time we saw was the showdown with Nicholas in the woods, and even that felt rushed and hushed in a sense. They made a sacrificial lamb of a person, and writers even admitted to not knowing what to do with him. So what if his character died in the comics? Do you realize how much they changed for so many different characters before that point? For instance, Carol's survival and Sophia's demise. Not to mention Daryl's whole existence as a character. Why couldn't they do the same for Glenn, defy the 'logic' of 'it happened in the comics', and why couldn't they give him more back story while they were at it?

And now, all these people wanting to ship Maggie and Negan, like Glenn doesn't matter at all. It rips at his humanity in ways I don't even want to talk about, but I'm sure people aren't thinking of that when they want those two to kiss. Who cares, right? Glenn's just a dead Asian man that y'all never cared about while he was alive anyway... And it runs deeper than that for some of you, but we won't get into that because I don't have the energy right now. After all, people who are racist in that way won't change because they either don't have the ability to see themselves for their true shit (and try to think about why and how to change that outlook) or they just don't give a fuck about it because they're unapologetically and proudly against either a certain set of humans with certain features or whatever it is they're stupid over, or they don't like interracial couples and don't give a shit to realize that we're all fucking humans and we're all connected in some way or another.... :x

But yeah. I'll always be salty about this, and the fact that Glenn's character could have been so much more than they let him be in the end. Then again, I think he and Daryl should have hooked up instead, but that's just me? But you know, so much of the TWD fandom would have shit itself over that pairing....

#glenn rhee #steven yeun #I'm just ranting #and if you've got an opinion about my opinion you can keep it to yourself because I'm not going to argue with people about how I legit FEEL #like seriously if you don't like this don't interact with me about it at all #just keep on keeping on

In the shadows of conflict and despair, the people of Palestine cling to hope, their spirits buoyed by the possibility of a brighter future. Today, I humbly ask you to be a beacon of light in my darkest hour. Your compassion, your generosity, has the power to ignite hope, to restore dignity, and to pave the way for a future where every Palestinian can live in freedom and peace. In your hands lies the power to make dreams a reality, to turn despair into hope, and to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of those who yearn for liberation. Thank you, dear friend and I will highly appreciate your donation.

Okay, I'm gonna give it to you straight. If this is a scam, shame on you. If this is legit, what the heck is going on? I'm not sending you anything until I can get confirmation on what the heck this is.

#mod talk #palestine #world politics #'cause seriously I've heard of people pretending to be from Palestine and that's not right #so please #Are you legit or a scammer? #I'm kinda leaning on the scammer side of things but I could be wrong

I hope I'm not just a gifmaker to you but also someone who made you think the two firefighter dudes were actually together for a while there.

#no seriously #how many people started watching the show based on edits with the illusion buddie was canon? #because i feel like if you watched the show based on edits #you probably thought they were together based on the sheer amount of content lol #i dont know because I didn't know much about the show before i started #which is a blessing i legit saw nothing coming #i knew of buddie but i was under the impression it was more subtext than it actually is #but since i watched after watching lone star with tarlos i was legit intrigued for a while there once things started happening with them #but yeah i don't know okay #i was just thinking about feeling deceived by gif sets and then being like #wait they're not canon? #it's a complicated feeling kspakapakpakaapa #thoughts thoughts thoughts
