#(but oh well that's what revisions are for)

[sapphologic]

Rings of Power Galadriel actually makes sense.

I'll die on this hill and maybe I'll die alone but that's not the point, if I hear another Tolkien “““loyalist””” piss and moan about her I will throw hands.

“She's not like in the movies!”

My dudes, so was Arwen when PJ replaced Glorfindel with her. That argument is hypocritical. And since when is PJ the measure for the fandom, as some of the haters even hate on these movies, despite them being masterpieces.

“She's so stubborn and rude!”

My fucking DUDES ... Her Elven name is literally 'man maiden'. Would you say the same about a male elf on a quest for revenge?

“Her lore is wrong!”

Well, the showrunners couldn't buy the rights for other writings of Tolkien than The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and the appendices. The Estate is ...well, the Estate. I wonder if Tolkien would like the way things are handled at all. If you have to worm your way around protected lore, you gotta do it.

“Tolkien's canon is fixed.”

Holy crap, the dude wrote on toilet paper and revised so many things. At one point you just gotta say fuck it and roll with what you like. Are we going to argue about Gil-galad's canon too? Oh wait, Tolkien left that out. Conveniently. He left as many things unclear as he revised previous statements. Over and over. And over. I'm getting whiplash from it frequently.

“Her character/personality is butchered.”

No. Just no. Again: Her literal Elven name is “man-maiden.” Tomboy. Did I stutter?!

That's what you call butchery is a character arc for an amazing heroine who has yet to learn and unlearn. Her ambitions and her hatred are obstacles on the way to become the wise and fair Lady of Lórien. Again: character arc. You should look it up.

She'll have her share of experience, change of heart, desires and hopes. She will change in the series, I would swear on the precious.

You're welcome. I did the work you should do to understand the character instead of being a crybaby about the changes you don't personally approve of. Prime doesn't need your approval. What you gonna do? Piss and moan even harder?!

Also, if you hate Haladriel, don't ever come to my doorstep whining about it. Exactly the kind of ambition Galadriel shows would let someone weaker than her fall in Sauron's hands. Take his hand in marriage. Rule. (and be ruled.)

Actually that ship is worth exploring. Galadriel isn't a bad person, at best she's misled by her thirst for vengeance.

And as an encore since the fanatic crybabies love to demand that every single word written by Tolkien ever has to be met with a 1:1 transfer into other media:

The movies and/or movies doing that would be unwatchable monstrosities and no one would have the patience for that. Same stupid reasoning as in WoT. Also: would be a monstrosity and also... some things you don't want to be seen through a modern media lens...bc then your straight white male “demi god” of an author would be considered racist or sexist or homophobic... Do you really want that? I don't think so. You don't have to embrace changes blindly, but having a hissy fit like a damn toddler about each and every inconsistency/discrepancy just makes you look like a fool.

Im sorry but can you do 45 angst for parrlyn? U don't have to tho!

45- "leave" (very quick doodle for you!)

#hi anon akshdjdhd thank you for asking so politely i guess #here's this .. 'm not sure what exactly but it's exam project season rn #and like!!! screwed up stress responses all over the place!! #anyways. #six the musical #six the musical fanart #anne boleyn #catherine parr #parrlyn #... the angst of being in an awkward situation #quick run down: been reading fic (not helping my revision any but nevertheless) and looking back at old characterisations of cathy #and like one thing was the coffee/ lack of sleep/ stress response thing that seems like part of widely accepted hc #and. well. um my stress response is avoidance! including of people #so yeahhhh maybe pushing people away is bad but also people can be so overwhelming even in the same room yknow #aka why i haven't been studying with friends (sad haha) and like maybe i'm projecting a little bit . shh #also also anne! bestie! me too! logically it's the 'ily but i really Cannot rn' and yeah it checks out but #on the other side of it the rsd / anxiety hits hard it's like oh i'm a terrible person #then you spend the next hour coaxing yourself out of that piece of sh- mindset #so. that's the idea of angst but also apparently most people don't know the insides of my head so what's angst for me #which is usually strongest with Implications instead of proper whump or whatnot #isn't probably angst for the. general populace .. #maybe it's the anxiety? *fingerguns* #alright! gn! #<side story: there was once this guy who kept trying to get me to go out with him to study (?still actually but now he's resigned to reject #-​ion) and i couldn't say to his face ' i would want you to stop breathing tbh because your physical presence in the same room would set me #absolutely off and into a nervous breakdown' and that's how i ended up saying 'people are distracting' and implied i was interested in him> #<lowkey. very yikes>

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 3: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should throw a coin into the mysterious well ….

"After nearly ten minutes rummaging through the disorganization at the bottom of his backpack, he finally approaches the well once again, meager coin pouch in hand. He meticulously balances a little golden coin on the tip of his thumb, positioning it just so for an elegant coin flip… With a flick of his hand, the coin wobbles off, anticlimactically dropping into the darkness.. He pouts, leaning in to listen for a plonk as the coin hits the water but… nothing…. silence.. A few minutes pass and he shrugs, moving to pick up his bag and just continue his journey elsewhere, when suddenly a faint noise echoes from the well.. an almost cartoonish plopping sound, like wet feet slapping against stone..? The pitter patter grows closer and closer…then stops abruptly. The adventurer cautiously slinks over to the well, only to find.. a creature of some sort, clinging to the walls, staring up at him blankly. - What should he do next?"

#paventure posting #polls #choose your own adventure #(I saw a few people tag these as that and I guess it makes sense. hmm) #DAY 3!!! vote to choose this little man's fate #Sad that people did not want to go into the well.. :( Maybe we can still go in depending on how things go with #The Creachure. I mean I know I could just make whatever happen anyway since I'm the one doing it but. It has to feel natural lol #it would be obviously just me doing what I want if I was like 'oh uh we went to throw the coin in the well but he tripped and #fell and then somehow didnt die and whoops he's in the well anyway!!'' lol #I care more about things being realistic and natural than following whatever ideas seem interesting. If it was voted for him to explode #into a million pieces sadly I would simply have to explode him. audience says #let me know if the formatting of this is weird?? also? I wasn't sure where to put the slightly longer bit of text #so I kept it under a reas more just to the post looks neater. I thought it'd seem weird with a bunch of text blocks sandwiching the poll #and too much going on. But I also feel like it's organizationally weird if all the details are at the end? eh.. #bt then at least it's optional. not everyone will want to read more. And it's not like.. amazing text lol #I'm slapping them out off of the top of my head with minimal editing because I have to get it done and I know if I make it too complicated #or become concerned with like things being Perfectly Revised then I will absolutely not be able to do it once a day #Same with the obvious sketchy ms paint art lol. But so like. I dont feel as bad about kind of having the text be options #*optional since it's not like 'omg this is so good u have to read this' it's like.. eh.. passable amount of detail ghbj #ANYWAY. and 'paventure' (poll + adventure) is just temporary so I have a way to tag this on the blog/keep up with the posts #in a organized way. I think 'padventure' is more obvious but that's already the name of other things and I didnt want the tags to be #confusing or like.. post in some random tag that people already use for something else #but the only thing I found when googling 'paventure' is like. .some venture capital business from PA. and who cares about that lol #explanation probably not needed but I think it sounds a bit silly so I'm justifying myself to myself lol #ANYWAY. lov his silly hat. I want to draw him more. I want to name him. I COULD DO A POLL TO CHOOSE A NAME #but that wouldn't fit in with any of the days lol. maybe if I make it a week actually doing it or something at the end of the week #I could do a bonus poll or something. ??? idk.. ANYWAY.. new day!

This post has imagery that are considered potentially compromising for people with photosensitivity. Proceed with caution.

One quality the Starchildren and Wishweaver collectively have is that there'd be a form of otherworldly pressure imposed upon others by their mere presence alone, with afflictions ranging from uneasiness, nausea, the feeling of dread, and other varying reactions. What the current Folktale regarding the Starchildren and the Wishweaver obfuscated was the fact that this was the initial reaction the Ancient Spirans had over them, especially the Starchildren.

After all, it is natural to fear what you do not understand, as the fear of the unknown is ingrained on every living being. The worship only followed some time after the First Starchild aided the people of ancient Spira the first time. However, said otherworldly, unnatural pressure vary from each of them, of course.

The Second Starchild's presence is at least anomalous at best, with most of the eldritch pressure contained, albeit still there. It is enough to make one feel uneasy in its presence, anything else. This is also partly thanks to the Champion of Spira's bond with it via the Starlink Phenomenon. However, when under threat, or agitation, said pressure would increase in potency, and thus would be enough to strike terror towards those who are unable to with the increased exertion, though such occurrence is far in between.

The Wishweaver's eldritch pressure is mostly subdued, as it is mostly asleep, 'dreaming', in a state of being between 'alive', yet 'not alive'. Its pressure is only enough for one to exercise caution, as even if it is in such a unique limbo state, it is still well aware of its surroundings, and would defend itself when needed. However, if it were to awake via regaining its energy naturally, which takes many, many generations' worth of years, or via gathering a mix between cosmic energy and the wishes of the people unto itself, it is a conjecture that its eldritch presence would mostly exert reverence to those around it.

Its eldritch pressure would only really reach its absolute peak when it has gathered enough power from the wishes of the people of Spira in order to amplify Doom Desire's strength.

As for the First Starchild?

After having its full potential realized via a paradoxical self-symbiosis thanks to the SYM Project, SYM-09's eldritch pressure has exceeded what has been expected from it. The First Starchild, under Team Celestial's reports, has caused feelings of terror, reverence, and hopelessness towards those who are within an approximate of twenty meters in radius.

So far, the only ones that can resist such overwhelming pressure are the Team Celestial Admins with the help of meteorite fragments in their accessories taken from both Anomalous Crater and Meteoric Crash Site, as they can help alleviate such overwhelming presence to some capacity, and Team Celestial's Leader, due to the fact that he and the First Starchild are bonded together in a similar fashion to the Starlink Phenomenon.

Though it can also be argued that individuals who were touched/chosen by Legendary Pokémon or have had similar encounters with the cosmic weirdness (Ultra Beasts) would also be able to resist said overwhelming pressure at some capacity as well.

For the first time ever I actually managed to write something for an event 🎉

#max mumbles #tendaysoftenzo #naruto #I haven't posted my writing anywhere in so many years I genuinely don't remember when I did #and I only did it two or three times at all. #So I am! Nervous! But oh well! #There's actually way more to this but the first two chapters work as stand alone and were finished with revisions so that's what I put up #Taking the knowledge of how long I had to grit my teeth repeating ''you can do this'' to hit post on both this and ao3 with me to the grave

[anhedoniacity]

imagine sharing your draft writing or creative work and begging for external insight, but the only feedback anyone is able to muster is “p. dece.” this is what has happened to me in every single group editing/peer revision scenario from second grade until now

#ik this sounds like a weird flex but it really sucks when you know something’s wrong with your work but you can’t figure out what #i went to a magnet hs so it’s not like i was always academically/artistically superior to my peers. sometimes they were just busy w stuff #i usually ended up just asking my mom (who went to the same magnet hs) for revisions #but even she isn’t much help when it comes to working on my music #oh well. i mostly made this post so i could use the phrase p. dece which is hilarious to me #perpetual notions

AnF is a story about many things. One of the things is silence. The sparse use of internal monologue at critical moments leaves the reader aching for some kind of speech from the characters. Touma’s main struggle is against the externally-imposed silence he must live in. Masumi wants to be silent and can’t decide whether it’s cowardice or actual desire. Mami speaks loudly and speaks all the time, but she’s so thoroughly stonewalled that she may as well be silent. Futaba speaks quietly, she triggers the series by choosing to exit silence and start communicating.

And Taichi lives in a more universal, suffocating silence of the self. He doesn’t just hold back in talking—sticking to pleasantries, avoiding topics, letting himself hide in implications or small talk—he can’t even communicate with himself. He doesn’t have the vocabulary to understand what it is he thinks. He can’t connect his feelings with words. His internal monologue trails off constantly as he comes close to making A Connection and then spooks.

So Ao no Flag is partly about how hard it is to not be able to speak. The characters’ minor problems are magnified by never being able to acknowledge them or talk about them, they’re constricted, cut off, isolated by the lack of words they find inside themselves OR the lack of willing ears outside. One of the things AnF sets out to do is to have people communicate as reasonably and rationally as possible, and the way it manages to make a good story out of this is that there are just things people can’t say. Under any circumstances. It doesn’t matter that Mami or Taichi or Touma is trying to talk things out before anyone gets hurt, because the things that need to be said are inaudible. They can’t be said. Even if they are spoken out loud, the concepts that they’re trying to convey don’t exist in the lives of people around them. Taichi lives in utter silence for ten chapters trying to come up with a response to a statement that he doesn’t have the words to process.

#bad post revise later. something something the claustrophobic world of grade school #kelsey liveblogs ao no flag #I love the lack of information KAITO gives us about anything. #so much of anf is clear and present…and unsaid. you just have to Know. #the reader as well as the characters is operating with a set of preconceptions and expectations #because of those preconceptions. there are somethings that the comic tells us that we physically can’t read #just as the characters are trying to communicate unthinkable things to one another #people say ‘oh it’s out of left field’ ‘oh taichi didn’t seem like that’ well guess what. taichi doesn’t have a damn clue either #he and we are figuring out the story at the same time. he doesn’t explicitly telegraph the ending to us because he didn’t see it coming!! #yet he understands something deep down that the careful reader can’t ignore
