If tumblr staff is too tiny and powerless to deal with hate speech effectively, they should also be too tiny and powerless to obsessively flag trans content.

Hope this helps ❤️✨

tell me you know nothing abt site moderation without saying you know nothing abt site moderation

do you honestly think a couple hundred people At Most are fully capable of effectively moderating, last i checked statistics, around 13 million posts per day? 13,000,000??? per day???

assuming even a moderation-only staff of 200 people working every single day (which tumblr def does not have--that one leaked memo said they had ~200 fulltime employees *total* before the recent downsizing, not all of which are moderation), that works out to around ~65k posts per person per day.

do you have time to review more than 65k posts every day? of course not. even with a filter algorithm (100% essential btw, because staff should not be forced to comb every single post for shit like literal actual csem, never mind hate speech and gore posted in popular tags as part of a 4chan raid or whatever) that's basically impossible. and you NEED to manually review posts for shit like hate speech, because overly-aggressive filtering is more likely to fuck over people explaining dogwhistles to look out for than, y'know, actual hate speech/symbols

also, sorry you came from the dimension where staff loves to play flag-the-trans-posts, but in this dimension that's a combination of:

- necessary algorithm (reasons listed above) having been trained pretty fuckily during the Verizon occupation, and

- the (usually offsite-organized) terf groups who stalk and mass flag trans people, especially popular ones, and remake accounts to keep doing it when they get blocked (which is the unfortunate tradeoff of an easy account sign-up process)

the vast majority of maliciously flagged trans posts i've seen get unflagged within a few weeks. yes, that sucks to wait on, but it's also a reasonable time frame when one considers the ratio of staff to staff-tasks-per-day. check the notes on any post about a flagged selfie or trans art older than abt 2 weeks; chances are good you'll see the humans blog, or another staffer, apologizing for the delay.

disclaimer: im trans and am not/have never been employed by tungl dot hell, and i also take issue with some of their decisions, but at this point i'm a lot more worried abt the user-led conspiracy about staff being made entirely of cryptoterfs (despite multiple accounts from current and former staffers, plus their own published info, showing tumblr has more queer people on board than the average socmed/tech company by a significant margin) who are supposedly paid to sit there and maliciously flag us icky trans users for funsies and enrichment all day

tl;dr y'all are on that reverse gaylor shit. stop it.

#stirring up trouble #idek what this is response to bc i've had this discussion so many fucking times now #but i am officially tired of having it #long post

A fic where Brainstorm has been uh...a bad fish?

honestly this was something I wrote on a whim for @elmonstro's art (NSFW) back then and I don't think I have the brain to finish it so I just cleaned it up a bit and here it is. probably too unfinished to be posted to ao3 so uh, enjoy secret tungle content?

collection: mermaid au - not canon for that au rating: nsfw cw: D/s vibes, sadomasochism

The subtle line of the plating seam was almost impossible to detect under his digit, and if he hadn't known that this was where the mermaid's modesty panels lied he would have never found them. But even the soft touch of brushing his finger tip up and down the seam was enough to have Brainstorm shivering in his hold, leaning harder back against his chest with his arms on either side of their forms gripping for a hold from the edge of the pool.

"Is this what you wanted?" Perceptor asked in a low voice right next to the mermaid's audial. "Is this why you've been swimming into me with enough force to knock me over? Because you wanted attention?" The low timbre of his voice was enough to have Brainstorm squirming even more, his field broadcasting fluster and arousal like he had been caught for some horribly embarrassing secret.

Which it probably felt like too, because the mermaid was never one to directly ask for what he wanted, instead dropping subtle and not so subtle hints whenever he wanted something that he was too embarrassed to ask for. Getting all huffy and pouty if Perceptor wasn't immediately picking up on his hints.

"Well, you've been ignoring me..." Brainstorm argued weakly.

"I was working. I can't always play with you," Perceptor said, but he didn't sound at all like he was genuinely scolding the mermaid, and more just teasing him for being so needy. Honestly he thought that it was adorable. Even the flush on Brainstorm's cheeks now was adorable, and the way his long frame was squirming in his hold was making him look good enough to be devoured.

Perceptor made the next downward brush of his thumb over the seam harder, more demanding.

"Well, aren't you going to open your panels? I can't help you if you don't let me in."

Brainstorm made a choked little sound, but right after the panels under his fingers were transforming away and Perceptor could press two of his fingers over the thin slit of wet mesh that was already starting to feel plush from arousal. He drew them gently through the thick lubricant, spreading it all the way up to Brainstorm's little node that was pulsing under his finger tips.

"There you go. Poor thing, have you been this turned on the whole time?" Perceptor asked as he rubbed slow circles over the slick pearl, and the mermaid was leaning even heavier into him as the sudden pleasure made him tense up with little shivers.

“Hha, I was trying to tell you,” Brainstorm gasped and tried to argue, but in exchange for his sass he only earned a pinch of his anterior node that had his optics fluttering shut and mouth falling open in a moan.

“No, you were trying to frustrate me,” Perceptor corrected him firmly, and the mermaid either couldn’t or wouldn’t even try to argue with him about it. Probably because he knew it to be the truth, or because Perceptor was gently tugging on his node before it slipped from between his slick fingers, and he returned to the slow circular motions again to soothe the sting on the poor abused thing.

“You were trying to get my attention in the only way you know apparently, by pushing and pulling me. But I’ve told you before that you need to use your words because I can’t read your mind,”

“I think we need to practice that some more. How to use your words to ask for things that you want. So tell me Brainstorm, what was it that you wanted from me?”

—

Brainstorm kept squirming in his hold, his sharp little claws digging into the back of Perceptor's palm which was holding his valve lips open. While the fingers of his other hand kept pumping into the mermaid's wet valve and drawing out those sweet little whines of his with every rough movement. But he had still not gotten the answer that he wanted, because Brainstorm was avoiding the question, probably hoping that Perceptor would be distracted by his cute and needy act.

Which wasn't an entirely wrong assumption since he had gotten a bit distracted and indulging, even when this was supposed to be an educational moment.

Perceptor drew his fingers out of the plush valve with a flick that had Brainstorm flinching with a gasp, and without the rough stimuli that had him squirming the mermaid was now hesitantly melting bonelessly against his chest again while trying to catch his breath. But with the fingers of his other hand that were still holding Brainstorm’s valve open with a firm V Perceptor could feel it pulsing needily under his touch, and see fresh and thick lubricant roll out from the abused canal with every push.

"So, what was it? What was it that you wanted from me, Brainstorm?" the mech asked in a tone that had the mermaid whining pitifully. A clear sign that he was close to breaking but still being difficult and shy, not quite ready to swallow his pride and just say it. He had a habit of avoiding having to be straightforward, but fortunately for him Perceptor knew how to make little brats find their words.

"Apparently not me fucking your cute valve with my fingers until you overload on them since you're not saying anything," Perceptor teased, and just to make it a bit harder for the mermaid he drew those fingers roughly over the wet mesh until he reached his sensitive node and pinched it briefly between two digits. Messing up whatever flustered reply Brainstorm had tried to prepare as it turned into another broken moan.

"So if you don't want me in your valve, how am I supposed to help with this then, hm?" Perceptor asked mockingly, withdrawing his other hand and spreading out the V of his fingers so Brainstorm's valve was in clear display now. And the mermaid was groaning as he looked down at the lewd mess of himself with half lidded optics, his face flushed from both arousal and embarrassment, his node twitching in a sign of how this turned him on.

"Am I supposed to believe that you would overload if I just touch you over it?" Perceptor asked and softly placed his free hand over the valve again, running all four of his digits over the lubricated lips as gently as he could in a loving pet. Brainstorm was responding so beautifully, his valve moving against his fingers, his pretty mouth pulled tightly shut to try and stiffe sounds as he was shaking his helm lightly in a no now. Which still was not the verbal answer Perceptor was looking for.

"I don’t know, maybe it could work. Perhaps I just need to touch harder." Perceptor then said, his voice dropping lower just before he brought his palm up and smacked it down in a light but sharp slap right over Brainstorm's node and wet lips.

The reaction was instantaneous as Brainstorm jolted from surprise with a little yelp, but there was nothing but an explosion of arousal and fluster in his EM field as he squirmed and tightened his grip on his lover’s hand and gasped his name. So with his little test bringing successful results, Perceptor brought his hand up and smacked it over his valve again, getting a very satisfying wet sound from the impact. But not as satisfying as the loud moan he pulled out of Brainstorm who flinched in his hold before he was bowing his back, his long tail curling up under the water before them in a clear sign of pleasure.

"Oh, was that it? Were you annoying me on purpose so I wouldn’t be too gentle with you? Does it feel better when it stings a little?" Perceptor mocked him harder, letting himself get excited at the mermaid's reaction to being roughed up like this.

"Phl-please. Percy~" Brainstorm moaned, and Perceptor could feel his whole valve twitching and pulsating against his hand, incredibly wet. And he couldn’t resist the urge to dig his two middle fingers deeper between the lips as he drew his hand gently up and down through the thick lubricant.

"Please what, Brainstorm?" Perceptor asked firmly, because no matter how much he wanted it as well he wouldn’t be indulging this time until Brainstorm gave him what he asked for.

And the mermaid’s tail flicked with agitation under the water’s surface with that flustered little trilling sound he sometimes made, but from his field you could spy that his resistance was cracking from the way of his neediness and arousal. He was finally nearing that edge where instead of attitude the mermaid started to slip into his polite voice because the want overpowered whatever embarrassment he had left in him.

"Please more," Brainstorm then pleaded so cutely, his hips trying to push into Perceptor’s palm as he leaned his chassis back and arched his back, resting his helmet on his shoulder. But Perceptor wasn’t allowing the pleasure. Not yet.

"More what? I want you to say it," he pressed firmly, because he knew that Brainstorm was ready to bow. And when he did it would be delicious.

The mermaid turned his helmet so he was hiding his face in the microscope’s neck, his breathing coming in fast and hot little gasps against his neck cables. And from the tight curl of his tail and the light tremble of his hands you could see how much it took from him to fight the urge to give in. How his field displayed clearly the hesitation of letting go of his embarrassment and control, and the incredible need to allow himself to just fall into Perceptor’s hold. Until he was hanging right on the edge, letting go of the last of his reservations as he spoke in a breathy and openly needy voice.

"Please do that again. Please, Percy. Slap it. It felt so good, please."

“Good boy.”

Satisfied enough with the answer Perceptor gave him exactly that, bringing his soaked hand up before he brought it back down in a sharp slap. And even when Brainstorm was still jolting and arching his back with a broken moan, Perceptor was already slapping his valve again, and again.

The sharp little claws of the mermaid’s hand were digging into his left one with every slap, his whole long frame twitching from the sensations as his cries and moans got only louder. And his EM field ebbed and flowed between pain and pleasure that were mixing together, his white helm trashing from side to side as if trying to say no even when everything else about him said yes.

I don't know much about Just Desserts quite yet (I meant to look into it earlier but then tumblr made everything VERY user hostile to those of us without accounts, so finding info takes a ton more energy and dedication), but I really like Prince Ice Cream Sandwich's design! If there's one thing that never fails to grab my attention, it's cute characters dressed up all fancy <3 Can you draw something with him for requestober please? Whatever theme you think would make him shine!

Day 20 - Mooooooomssss

#Requestober #My art #Just Desserts #I either gotta start making these earlier in the day or stop making multi-character pieces so often lol #They're just so cute I can't help it!#Anyhow - I completely feel you anon you're preaching to the choir on tungl's Extremely misguided and hostile ''updates'' egh #I always suggest going on-blog if you're on desktop - the popups are considerably less aggressive and I try to tag everything well #Plus you get all my long rambles lol - though my theme does capitalize everything so you do miss some of my Tone Jokes lol #Thank you for your time to it and good work haha #Anyway anyway anyway #I'm glad you like the Prince's design! I think he's quite cute as well haha ♪#How 'bout the whole royal family? All fancy all the time!#This is also the first time I've tried to put colours to the Queens and their son haha #I wasn't expecting Queen Charlotte to be quite so gradient-heavy but I think it really works :D #And then with Queen Sundae since she has the more classic colour palette she gets all the shinies hehe #And of course the star! In his own bright red! He's certainly shining with embarrassment haha #Poor lad haha ♪ He was so cute trailing around the Queens like a little duckling when he was younger #He's in that teenage phase but he still loves him moms ♥#And they obviously love him too hehe

CW: N/SFW/fully detailed ridge version below the cut (bc Tungl is allergic to correct female anatomy smh), extensive scarring, mentions of (canon-typical) Slavery

AND now for the other best gurl! :D :D I have no chill when it comes to saber designs, apparently dkjhgdjkgsd

don’t go clowning in the reblogs/notes about her orientation/sexuality either. Straight demisexual/romantic people do exist and they ARE still queer if they say they’re queer, the same way straight ace and straight trans people exist and are still queer. If I catch any “grrr StRaIghT fLAg” discourse in my notes you WILL be blocked.

Her outfit is based on Xoxaan’s armour set but with some stylistic changes in a few places to make it more like something Kas would wear, and her saber hilt is based on the Fractured Bogan saber, (but with the thought that like...it actually is busted as fuck and held together by a concerning/unholy amount of Force enchantments lmao)

Edit to add: oh I forgot to babble about the gauntlet dkjgdjgd OKAY so I really loved the idea of the Mando’a crushgaunts, and it’d be something that Kas would find very useful for defense/Force duels since she’s primarily a “spellcaster” as opposed to a melee or ranged weapon fighter and relies mainly on Force techniques like Force lightning etc. She would benefit greatly from having a gauntlet she could use like a shield to deflect incoming Force lightning/attacks, lightsaber blades if someone gets too close and she can’t get to her saber faster than she can throw her hand up, blaster bolts etc. BUT since Kas doesn’t really know any Mandos it wouldn’t make (lore-wise) sense for her to have an actual Mando crushgaunt. SO instead, I propose that it’s likely a (very well made, sure) regular vambrace, BUT it’s been layered with a great many different and complex ancient Sith enchantments by Kas so that it can provide a function like a crushgaunt, but it’s not actually a crushgaunt cause Kas has no (believable) way of getting hold of bes’kar until MUCH later in the plot and I didn’t want to wait that long for it, plus being a Sith witch it’s appropriate for her to enchant her armour as well as her saber, don’tcha think? :’3

yes I reused the teeth lineart because I didn’t feel like drawing it again, sue me (I drew the original anyways so ya know, I can do what I want xP)

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY ART. Reblogs are always appreciated <3

#swtor #n/sfw #oc ref sheet #swtor oc: ni'kasi ahaszaai #sith pureblood #sith inquisitor #subterfugeverse #tw: extensive scarring #tw: slavery #tw: slavery mention #the twins *FINALLY* have proper refs woooooo #now i have to decide who to do next #atm it seems like a fight between d'leah and some of the reverse!zephyrverse AU extended family members so we'll see hahah #i also have some other sketches/wips i want to finish so i might be posting a borderline-spammy amount of art in the coming weeks #sorrynotsorry #kas got a *lot* of the ridges i had a lot of fun with those hehehe #also yes i *WILL* draw other characters besides purebloods soon/one day lol #i just have *many* of them who have no refs (and are in desperate need of them) rn #so that's why it seems like that's ''all'' i'm drawing #i do want to re-do aria and va's refs soon #but even tho i dislike the old art on theirs now; their refs are still *functional* enough #compared to the others rn who have *no* ref at all #<3 #elven's art #oops i forgot my own art tag lol

Having lots of thoughts on Steelheart at the moment and decided to share some here-

I’ve really struggled a long time with posting any of my work onto the internet. For a lot of reasons, but one of them being that the stories I wanna write and tell for Fallout specifically are ones I know that very few will be interested in.

I work in social media at the moment and just being in fandom as a writer and looking at the numbers means that I know ahead of time what will “do well” on tungle dot hell or on ao3. I know what’s popular!

If I wrote Steelheart from Butch’s perspective and focused on their romance and made it more about him I know it would be at least slightly more popular- and its made me really insecure. Is the story I’m writing worth writing? Is it interesting? Would it be better to do just that?

(Please note that I do love stories that do all that as well, and this by no means a critique or shitting on them. If anything, the fact I love them so much makes me more insecure about my own writing choices.)

But, Steelheart isn’t Butch’s story. He’s the love interest, and won’t even become a perspective character until the latter half. He’s so important to the story and it wouldn’t be the same without him! But this is Amy’s story. It always has been, but I struggle constantly with whether or not it’s worth telling.

And I have to remind myself constantly of why I’m writing it. Amy’s story is just a piece of a bigger hole. Her story sets up Leo, gives context for his existence, because down the line he’s going to become a major character with entirely his own plot and story! Her story sets up Sunshine, in ways that I’ve been cagey about, but would be remarkably obvious (I think???) if anyone just. Looked at the random shit I’ve posted about them both.

And I COULD’VE told her story through flashbacks, through the stories that other people tell about her. In some ways, thematically, that would’ve been more impactful. The Lone Wanderer is a myth, a legend, a hero who very few truly knew and understood, but her story is already so heartbreaking and tragic. The hand she gets dealt is so DUMB unfair and it felt... bad? To make her just a footnote? Just a stepping stone to other heroes rise?

Because she means a lot to me- she’s the character whom is probably most reflective of my internal feelings. She’s a protector, a caretaker, even if she isn’t the same kind I am, and she struggles with feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders. When I’m in a bad spot writing out Amy’s own bad internal feelings lets me vent it out, and I have the knowledge that she always gets better. Even if her fate is ultimately a tragedy, it’s always been one that’s supposed to be marked by hope.

And yeah, numbers shouldn’t matter. Working in social media has made me almost too aware of how to get the good numbers and I hate it. I wish I wasn’t. I wish I could just write my stories because they make me happy, but it just... isn’t the reality.

Because writing and art doesn’t exist in a vaccuum! If no one stops to go “hey this is neat” it fucking hurts! And I don’t really blame people it’s just-

It hurts and is frustrating. Because I know what would make people pay attention, but I refuse to compromise my vision! I’ve been working on this world and these characters stories since fucking summer of 2017. Steelheart is one part in at least a four part series that explores so much of the world of Fallout because I ADORE this world. I have barely stopped thinking about since I got into the fandom and I just hope-

I just hope one day my love for these stories gets reflected back at me? I’ll probably have to learn to live without that but. It’d be neat. It’d be cool. It’d be chill.

I recognize that this might sound whiney or “hey come look at my fanfic because you pity me” but its really not supposed to. I kinda just, wanna voice this on my blog because its my own space. I don’t wanna just hold my thoughts to myself just because other people would take a lot of this in the wrong way.

TLDR; I really love Steelheart being fromy Amy's perspective and focusing on her journey as a person, but I'm super insecure about it because I think everyone would rather just here about her love story with Butch!! Which is super important to her growth as her person (and I really love romance as well), but I also I hope people like the other parts of it too ;;

#astra rambles #I will do my best to not get extremely anxious #about posting this #and I will instead Be Okay #manifesting this for myself #I'm okay by the way and work on chapter 2 is going well #these are just things that circulate in my brain a lot

neocities/website babble eee

im so so close to making neocities my only "social media" type outlet. I obvs still use tungl, but i've been using it less and less (moreso relying on queues and forgetting abt it in extended periods of time) but I'd like to try using it still when it comes to posting art..whenever I get around to that too haha (still havin artblock but i do have ideas!)

there might be a time in the future where I simply post everything to one site only and completely abandon everything else, but to the few people who follow me, i'll be sure to give a heads up :3

but I can't tell the future- we'll see what happens!

I like using my current neocities site as a hub for mostly rpg maker type content, and only a little "about me" as a person. (which is why my gallery links to my artblog and not hosted on the site itself for now) So I might want to upload art to either a separate site, or tucked away on my current site and eventually create a sitemap to make navigating easier @ w @ aaaa it's all really exciting for me, personally!!

I've always wanted to cater to my specific niches when it came to an online presence- there's always been the looming "ooOoOo you MUST have 'x' social media account~" when...I really DONT?? don't get me wrong, I do like checking other peoples' accounts on other platforms- but I don't make an account for other sites anymore (re: no more twitter acc tyvm), but that's really as far as that goes.

maybe it's something that comes with age?? just.. the feeling that "hey...i really DONT need all these social media(s) outlets to "enjoy" being online!" or, rather... I'm finally breaking free from that mindset. The mindset that was "you need social media in your life" which was heavily pushed by corporations when the new web generations came about. I've been on the internet a long, LONG time;; It's nice to finally mold or shape my internet experiences to something I personally enjoy, without caring or needing "numerical validation" like "likes" or "follower" counts etc. - a very self-sabotage type mentality that I was able to break free of once I stopped posting on twitter.

TL;DR:

I'm very slowly breaking away from using social media. I know I most likely won't be COMPLETELY off of it (re: tumblr, or checking other sites for news/the world- though without making an account.), but I'm excited to be curating my own space :>

#eggy posts #longpost #phew sorry for the babbling!! felt like sharing this kinda thing since its what ive been workin on for the past few weeks #im especially thankful to the server im in regarding webdesign tutorials and tips and all sorts of assistance!

YOU im like this every time u tell me things 😍🥺

Ummmm you are not a long-winded mess, you are my new best friend LMAO /j unless but oh my gosh. I’m so thrilled to know you are enjoying Untitled, and as a former art major too (of course you are) — never would I ever have expected to bond over the hilarity and relief of American Spirits post-critique like come onnnn that’s so specific and yet I felt like it was a specificity that really suited Eren and Y/n’s dynamic.

I’ve written myself into a corner with Untitled but you are helping me to see that there is something special in the story. The third chapter is coming along, but I did the thing I normally do and started two new series around the end of writing chapter two. I’ll come back :)

But pa-lease no pressure to read or anything, you’ve already really made my whole month I think (lol)— for real. I cannot express how grateful and just so content to connect with you and our love for Levi— our connection really makes me feel a little more connected to the aot/fandom community— or at least the levi corner hehe— believe it or not!

omg if you look under the tag #mica.draws u will find my “art” i am a rusty artist lmao. I think i’ve only posted one on this blog… hm. Drawing was never my medium but I did keep a sketchbook. I’m trying to get more familiar with keeping a digital sketchbook nowadays. OMG UNTITLED LEVI IN YOUR STYLE WOULD BE WILD but hey, i see you are working on some fun stuff please no pressure or expectations at all i’m like rarely even inspired these days *shakes fist at the cosmos*… 🖤 mica

HI NEW BESTIE.

Lmaoo I had a TA that would hand roll his cigs while someone would break out a pack of Spirits. Literally just thinking about it warms my soul. The fact that it was a shared experience across art school is fucking hilarious to me.

Feel pressured? To have the absolute honor to read your words? Um, literally never. I would be out of my skin honored hehe.

Take your time, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Your plot is fantastic, but you have a gift delving into a character’s psyche…their ticks…idiosyncrasies…schemes…Anything you’d commit to us will be spellbinding I’m sure of it. No doubt, your work is very special to me and others.

What if I told you…I was LITERALLY working on my version of Untitled Levi when you sent me this ASK dfjhkbvljhvbweljrhvb. I’ve been CAUGHT. 💀

Just…Look at him please…

He’s taking over my life. HOW DARE YOU.

Also, welcome to this corner of tungle. We are fucking insane, but we love our babygirl Lev’ somethin’ fierce.

I can’t wait to check out your art! If you ever need anything, you know where to find me.

ALL OF MY BIG STUPID LOVE.

GDI, as a lurker who refuses to make a social media account, I'm getting annoyed how they push you to make one. In tungle, you have that damn "It's time to try Tumblr" in archives with no way to get rid of it. And I remember how in twatter that you receive a notification to make an account before closing to scroll down more, YOU FUCKERS ALREADY LOCKED ME OUT ON THE MEDIA WHEN TRYIN TO LOOK AT ART IN 2019ish! I'm dreading the lockwall one day, as I have no desire to engage in culture that cancels

Tumblr isn't as bad as twitter and IG, pretty much totally locked out of IG if you don't have an account.

Though if you know where to find the mirrors that problem goes away fast, easier to rip content from those too.

Tumblr gives the person running the blog the choice, it can be on display for anyone with a internet connection and browser or we can set it to only be visible to people though the dashboard.

It's in the privacy settings.

I don't see Tumblr changing that either, no point to it and I'm gonna make sure I wide open here at least.

Made a real good friend on here guy didn't have a tumblr account but we still had a back and forth because he'd send asks all the time it was weird but it also totally cemented me in the 'keep blog visible' corner.

But ya if it pops up on the dash only that's because the person turned that setting on

Been a while since Odio and Yamazaki. Number 16.

Birds of a Feather, Chapter 47

Prolly the only time I'm gonna post LAL written works on tungle unless I get more prompt requests, lol.

(Context: Odio in his usual rage/fascination with humanity, decides to drag General Yamazaki to the Dominion of Hate after the event of Near Future)

The knight burned down the world, destroyed everything around him, and the Lord of Dark.

And for what? He had loving folks at home who still would have supported him. He could have escaped the Kingdom apparently known as Lucrece. But he threw it all away after losing his best friend, being an outcast, and the woman he sought after.

It’s pathetic. General Yamazaki knows it could be worse.

Odio— no, Oersted, had parents who supported his passions and dreams. They don’t emasculate him for the friends he makes or how soft-faced he is. No, the General can see it all. This young man had his entire life handed to him, expected to be a hero without criticism.

Where was that in Yamazaki’s entire life? For over forty years, he had endured nothing but a strict life, not allowed to show interest in anything besides what was considered ‘appropriate’.

Gender norms in his country were strict. Young men aren’t allowed to show interest in things that seemed a bit unusual, something that women would be interested in. Yamazaki expressed fascination with the arts of dance, but his father smacked sense into him each time, forcing things that ‘suited him’ instead.

This went on until Yamazaki finally cut his chains from the old man.

If anything, that fool Streibough was in a similar situation. Belittled and chastised by his family, always being told that he would ‘never be as good’ as Oersted or other knights.

Yamazaki sent hundreds of soldiers to their death, most of whom had cold feet when confronting him or allowed thousands to be liquefied. All this silly knight did was kill people by accident and proxy, before deciding to throw everyone to the wolves just because he had one bad day.

He hated him.

But he’s also fascinating. Oersted, Odio, whatever he wanted to be called, didn’t have the same manipulative cunning as the General.

How hard would it be to tell this demon that it could be so much worse and that he threw his life out for nothing?

**************

That General killed thousands in the name of Odeo, in the hopes of control, a stage of evolution that would bring forth the greatest soldiers.

And for what? He had such close allies. There was never any need for that sort of thing. Yamazaki knew a beautiful woman, a brilliant doctor, and an eccentric priest. Everything is at his fingertips, yet he chooses to make sacrifices rather than use his brain.

It’s pathetic. Odio knows it could be worse.

He didn’t need to stand on that platform with the rest of those fools. The priest? Wholly understandable. The scientist? Maybe. But all the General did was send people to their deaths when he could have just been content with his admirer and seen if it all went wrong or not.

This man is baffling. Seeing him fly into outrage over the smallest thing that didn’t matter is confusing. Even if his close allies perished, it’s not like it mattered to Yamazaki. How could this man be allowed to murder so many and not be given worse?

Odio had a simple life, yes, but he was thrown into circumstances so suddenly out of his own control. Putting himself in a position beyond redemption let him decide he would play the part that people saddled him with.

How was he supposed to know how his friend or the Princess felt? They never spoke to him. They were allowed to pull him aside and be honest! Yet here is this man, who controls every conversation and encounter like a complete snake.

And yet, Yamazaki acted like such a victim about being drowned. It’s not like his life had been ruined, it was just cut short! What was this level of victim complex? Begging to be saved by his enemy!

It reminded Oersted of others who tried to play the victim when they struck first.

The priest had more of a right to plea and beg for mercy than he did. That old man hadn’t touched a fly, despite his hypocrisy of not wanting to become one for Odeo.

He doesn’t know why he dragged the General to his Dominion of Hate. Perhaps Odio wanted to torture him more, show him just how bad things could get, perhaps there was even some sort of fatal attraction beyond his comprehension.

He hated him.

But he’s also fascinating. General Yamazaki perhaps hated humanity as much as Odio did, but hid it under some sense of pride.

How hard would it be to tell the General that it could be so much worse and crush what little confidence he has left in himself?

**************

Ultimately, upon confrontation, the two came to a conclusion.

What could be worse? Having no control over your childhood?

Or no control over your adulthood?

Odio already knows the answer. He smiles with delight.

“The past cannot be altered, in spite of me reaching into times of prehistory.” Odio breathes. “You could tell me as many hypotheticals about my past as you wish, but it cannot be changed. Nothing can.”

Darkness emerges from Odio’s palms. General Yamazaki smirks, going for his sword.

“Yet, I am more than capable of showing you the present and the future. One that you have no control over, no matter how hard you try. You shall witness what you could have had, what you could make, what you could have done, for these decisions were yours and yours alone!” Odio roars.

“As if you didn’t have control over your actions currently?”

Odio’s blood boils. He launches a magic attack, knocking the General from the near future down on his back, rendering him unconscious.

“It could be worse,” Odio says. “It will be worse. I will make sure that for you, it will be worse.” A smirk spreads across the archon’s face. “Or, mayhap, I shall show you it could be better. So much better. Because what is worse than seeing a deception of what could have been?”

He reaches down and strokes the General’s face.

Random thought because I've been talking about this today but I wish, I wish, I could get into fandom the same way other people are bc like. I recently finished MDZS and I'm mutuals with so many awesome SW blogs and I have so many Thoughts and Love for Genshin??? I want to share this enjoyment with other people??

But no now I log onto tungle hellsite and see people shitting on blorbos and the anti/proshipper wars and #Problematic Content and I end up feeling like that one scene from Community. You know the one:

it feels like fandom now is more about the Discourse (tm) and starting fights and cancelling people for shipping characters with a two year age gap and it really, genuinely, sucks the life out of me when all I wanted to do was look at some art and squee about That Cool Scene When... or "Look at how cute this moment between these guys is I love them" with other people? When did having a common interest with random strangers on the internet become so stressful and unenjoyable? Why are people accusing other people of being garbage human beings for liking X or Y character/show/book/movie like it went and punched their newborn puppy?

I'm not saying that every fandom is toxic or that there isn't some weird/gross/nasty implications in fiction sometimes, and in some respects I admit I'm probably generalising, but I honestly feel like it's become less about finding a community where people connect over a shared love and disagree respectfully, and more about treating fiction as a life or death, ride or die cesspit where disagreeing on a small point is tantamount to being the spawn of Satan.

Anyway this is brought to you by a lengthy discussion about Sonic the Hedgehog and Genshin Impact with my flatmate, rant is over, I hope you reading this are having and continue to have a lovely day, I'm gonna crawl back into my hidey hole to find more fic <3

#mini rant #sorry for the rant #i just wanna vibe #and not be sad #i love these things but exploring my dash for more than two seconds almost makes me relieved i never talk about my blorbo fiction #except with close friends #which is a pain because i dont want to ramble about Psych or MDZS or Dishonored with people who arent interested in them yknow #but also #bombarding people with hate because they liked a post about xyz thing you dislike? come the fuck on #think thats enough internet for me today #night everyone
