How to charge your Aromantic White Ring:

In brightest day,

In blackest night,

All romantic interest will escape my sight,

Those who worship Valentine’s might

Beware my orientation

Aromantic’s Blight!

i. about 2 weeks ago, i was told there's a good chance that in 5 or so years, i'll need a wheelchair.

ii. okay. i loved harry potter as a kid. i have a hypothesis about this to be honest - why people still kind of like it. it's that she got very lucky. she managed to make a cross-generational hit. it was something shared for both parents and kids. it was right at the start of a huge cultural shift from pre to post-internet. i genuinely think many people were just seeking community; not her writing. it was a nice shorthand to create connection. which is a long way of saying - she didn't build this legacy, we built it for her. she got lucky, just once. that's all.

iii. to be real with you, i still struggle with identifying as someone with a disability, which is wild, especially given the ways my life has changed. i always come up against internalized ableism and shame - convinced even right now that i'm faking it for attention. i passed out in a grocery store recently. i hit my head on the shelves while i went down.

iv. he raises his eyebrows while he sends me a look. her most recent new book has POTS featured in it. okay, i say. i already don't like where this is going. we both take another bite of ramen. it is a trait of the villain, he says. we both roll our eyes about it.

v. so one of the things about being nonbinary but previously super into harry potter is that i super hate jk rowling. but it is also not good for my mental health to regret any form of joy i engaged with as a kid. i can't punish my young self for being so into the books - it was a passion, and it was how i made most of my friends. everyone knew about it. i felt like everyone had my same joy, my same fixation. as a "weird kid", this sense of belonging resonated with me so loudly that i would have done anything to protect it.

vi. as a present, my parents once took me out of school to go see the second movie. it is an incredibly precious memory: my mom straight-up lying about a dentist appointment. us snickering and sneaking into the weekday matinee. within seven years of this experience, the internet would be a necessity to get my homework finished. the world had permanently changed. harry potter was a relic, a way any of us could hold onto something of the analog.

vii. by sheer luck, the year that i started figuring out the whole gender fluid thing was also the first year people started to point out that she might have some internalized biases. i remember tumblr before that; how often her name was treated as godhood. how harry potter was kind of a word synonymous for "nerdy but cool." i would walk out of that year tasting he/him and they/them; she would walk out snarling and snapping about it.

viii. when i teach older kids creative writing, i usually tell them - so, she did change the face of young adult fiction, there's no denying that. she had a lot more opportunities than many of us will - there were more publishing houses, less push for "virally" popular content creators. but beyond reading another book, we need to write more books. we need to uplift the voices of those who remain unrepresented. we need to push for an exposure to the bigotry baked into the publishing system. and i promise you: you can write better than she ever did. nothing she did was what was magical - it was the way that the community responded to it.

ix. i get home from ramen. three other people have screenshotted the POTS thing and sent it to me. can you fucking believe we're still hearing this shit from her when it's almost twenty-fucking-twenty-three. the villain is notably also popular on tumblr. i just think that's funny. this woman is a billionaire and she's mad that she can't control the opinions of some people on a dying blue site that makes no money. lady, and i mean this - get a fucking life.

x. i am sorry to the kid i was. maybe the kid you were too. none of us deserved to see something like this ruined. that thing used to be precious to me. and now - all those good times; measured into dust.

/// 9.6.2022 // FUCKING AGAIN, JK? Are you fucking kidding me?

#witches and wizards #kids need to be able to play games without knowing the extended universe #playing was easy #i knew i wasn't gonna be able to explain chronicles of christomancy #but we could pick up a stick and run around #nd say we were magic that would be enough backstory #and i think the last time i felt that sense of community #was the summer of pokemon go #it's about cross-generational connectivity bro #yes there are insular communtities but EVERYONE had fucking read harry potter #which is me saying - i think maybe people don't miss HER or the ACTUAL BOOK tbh #they miss... feeling connected #think about how so many people felt so weirdly ashamed and lost after Game of Thrones ended -#they did SUCH a bad job that the entire community just... vanished.#where beforehand people would have GoT weddings #we are just animals who love stories and love feeling like we speak the same language #btw i am not on twitter so i hadn't seen some of the shit she was doing #and then when i was 19 she published the ''american school'' hogwarts stuff #and was reading it casually bc again a huge nerd #and in it shes like ''the british taught the natives their more civilized magics''#and that was like..................... oh okay. okay. so.....

i think people who want a diverse group of women with a wide range of moral standings and a tendency to behave in human and often less than perfect ways should listen to the hit audio drama greater boston.

#greater boston #I’m FINALLY listening to season four I am so sorry for taking so long #but like. there are so many women here. some of them are gay. at least one is ace.#one of them is possibly a terrorist depending on who you ask #two are huge Star Trek nerds who go to conventions about it #I can’t easily quantify gemma or louisa or Charlotte in a pithy tag they’re beyond me #nica is in prison (wrongfully) (sort of) becoming best friends with Ben affleck and Matt Damon (fictional)#(but based on the real people. sort of.)#Emily is the WORST KIND OF WOMAN and i DO say that with much loathing in my heart but also you WILL feel sympathy for her #AND MALLORY IS PERFECT !!!!

Gwendolyn Bouchard (THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL, UP TO EP 11 SPOILERS) I love her, she's such a prick. I don't even know if she's aware of it. Her being late only to immediately turn around and call out Celia for being literally a minute later than her. If I was in that office I would just burst out laughing Gwen is such a self centred person that it loops right back around to being hilarious. The beholding swallow me as I spend the rest of my days stalking Gwendolyn to see what insanity she brought up upon herself. Her goal in life really is to become manager of this dead end job because she thinks it might give her an in with some higher power/potential mafia. When presented with video evidence of her boss attempting murder on a previous employee she doesn't reconsider that sentiment and, I dunno A. Take it to the authorities B. Quietly bury the evidence and pretend she didn't see it C. Quit her job D. Tell her co-workers about it E. Try and leak the information on the web F. Any combination of the above No she takes option G. Confront the person in question! Alone! Trying to blackmail them. Into letting you join them!!! The potential of getting shot by this person that you have video proof of attempted murder seems to not cross her mind. Not to mention Gwen seeing her boss attempting murder, and thinking 'yes I want in. I will be so good that I'll take her job." You want to what Gwen?! Do murder?! It doesn't even pay that well. Lena must be just amazed when Gwen pulled that stunt. You saw that and still wanted to take my place. Maybe you do deserve this nightmare of a position. (We should really be comparing Lena to Jon and Gertrude. They're both lower managers.) I'm calling it now, Gwen will through a series of baffling decisions stumble her way into power. Believed to be stupid due to her lack of critical thinking skills and general complete lack of social skills, therefore underestimated. Before she becomes the series surprise villain. Maybe she'll even have a little "redemption" arc, becoming yk nicer, before jumping at the first opportunity for power. Shocking everyone who forgot what she did to get the position "externals liaison" in the first place. (A position which I still don't know if Lena gave her just to offload all her dirty work onto and get her to stop whining. Hoping Gwen will somehow die in the process. Or if she's genuinely training Gwen to take her position so Lena can finally just take a vacation.) That or she's going to die soon.

#the magnus protocol #gwendolyn bouchard #lena kelley #theorising #Gwen my beloved #Alice really here 'am I the only one who sees what a huge prick Gwen is #Alice I do! Don't you see how unintentionally hilarious she is?#also. episode 12. wow. Get Bonzo'd nerd. Bonzo is so stupid. The fact that they gave him another episode is so funny.

Tumblr is where I get a little wacky weird and post fanart and sketchbook pages so I hope y'all like that. I don't normally post my fanart to twitter anymore so you'll only find it here for the time being. Thanks for all the support y'all have given me here! It means a lot.

#kat talks #uhhh I also don't talk much on twitter or social media in general #however I am a huge nerd for various franchises I feel like I am a bit more personable here so I hope that is okay #I also don't mind answering questions or doing fanart requests here/there if you have any no promises I will draw it but I might!#you guys also get my human art -- very lame I know but I do I draw anime girls sometimes I'm sorry

Love when the urge to do something strikes, but it's not like. Useful to the current situation.

Where did I get all of this energy and focus to learn how to play hanafuda koi koi? No fuckin clue.

Can I get the same amount of energy to do housework or draw? Apparently not.

#well. it is 11 pm after a workday and i am in a lot of pain #so perhaps that has something to do with it #considering bothering my coworkers about it.. maybe..#wish the coworker i was doing the japanese-english book translation comparison stuff was around #for card game purposes #tho I'm actually not sure if he knew how to play??#he's a huge cultural stuff nerd tho so like. probably....#ah.. it's already 11:30... time is going by

Jetpack Joyride headcanon: Professor Brains named his cat "Spot" after the cat that Data had in Star Trek, and much like Data's cat, his cat is also a female orange tabby :)

#jetpack joyride #professor brains #star trek reference #i am absolutely in love with the connection data and spot have #i've watched very little star trek and my dad's more of a trekkie than i've ever been #but i think discovering that data has a cat has singlehandedly made me really want to watch it #it's the scene where data cries tears of joy after finding spot specifically that made me wanna watch star trek #sigh it's always the guys with cats that draw me in.... jon arbuckle... professor brains... data....#my liking for professor brains boosted by 10 as soon as it was revealed he has a cat #professor brains would secretly be a HUGE trekkie nerd #like he goes home from doing all this malevolent evil schemes and just watches star trek for 3 hours #he absolutely would do that

I’ve vaguely explained my break down of the kalos protags ages (and while I could talk about that more) I wanna talk about zinnia because I have a lot of thoughts about her!

I’ve spent years of my life focused on storytelling both visually and verbally, specifically written and drawn character designs and the art of “show don’t tell” so I think that gives me enough insight to be the one deciphering character ages-

Okay starting first with her visuals, zinnia has a very mature build by proportions alone, she has sharp facial features, firm toned body (you can literally see that through her shirt, which is skin tight and tied on) she’s undoubtedly muscular partially through her upbringing, but it’s important to remember muscle gains come with age. You will not see a 12 year old with abs and jacked forearms because a young child/teen body can not gain that kind of muscle. A toned body indicates muscle gain especially in AFAB individuals as there’s a lack of testosterone to aid in the process of bulking up. And zinnia leads a rather off the grid lifestyle already so an enhanced workout routine is out of the question. Her build alone indicates late teens to early adulthood.

Dialogue, there’s dialogue that refers to zinnia as a teenager. But there is also dialogue of a team magma grunt saying she’s totally his type. If they’re comfortable having implied adults hit on her I feel it’s safe to assume we can cut her down into the 18-19 bracket.

Storyline, zinnias story is not a tale you write a young child into. Her story is filled with heartbreak and not just acceptance of her own mortality, but also facing her willingness to die in order to save the world. She was raised into a suicidal duty and she’s come to terms with a young death. Most writers (especially gamefreak who makes games for children) tend to avoid child death as to not upset parents and players. Another part of her story is the fact she gets a job working under team magma/aqua depending on your version, and while I wouldn’t say it’s out of they’re brand to work with younger teens in team aqua- team magma would not hire a 15 year old into a high tech eco terrorist team of geologists and scientists. Meaning she must be old enough for them to think she’s responsible in the field.

Lastly, I placed Calem and Serena at the age of 18 as they didn’t have an appearance that (in my opinion) warranted me putting them at the age of 19. When I put zinnia next to Calem and Serena I see that (in my opinion) she looks older than them both. Therefore my final thought is that lorekeeper zinnia from pokemon omega ruby and alpha sapphire, is 19 years old.

Thank you for coming to my autistic TED talk

#spoilers: I think she’s 19 #she also had huge frat boy energy if she wasn’t you know saving the world and such #lorekeeper zinnia #headcanon break down #headcanon #autism be damned #I am not doing this for weird reasons to sexualize. I feel the need to mention that because it seems that’s normally why people ask #I’m just a lore nerd

Howdy, partner 🐴

How about we play a little ask game, hm?

(Hetalia fanfics writer ask game)

26, 13 aaaand 5, please 💜

Hi, hi, hiiiii! I love playing games! :D

5. What do you keep in mind when writing a particular character? Since there's no character specified, I'll just go with the general things I keep in mind for all characters. The most important thing for me is that their dialogue fits them – like, it has to be their voice. Rereading, rewording, and rewriting dialogue is so important to me, so the whole thing doesn't sound like the same character speaking. I also have certain things I write on the first draft that end up sounding unnatural later. Such as Romano swearing too much (yes, it's possible), Spain starting his sentences with "Ah" and ending with a "haha," and the list goes on. A funny thing is that I actively avoid Prussia using awesome. He'll say sweet, cool, great etc., but his awesome counter is very low. Because I hate when a fanfic has him saying it all the time. It needs to have impact. It needs to actually be awesome.

13. What character took the most research? This is hard, because I don't... I don't do character research? Not really, at least? I do historical research for plot and idea purposes and sometimes check out fanart or other fanfiction for a ship I'm not as familiar with if I plan to write it (such as when I introduced nyo Russia in Birdbrains), but I don't do a lot of dedicated character research. I might look up canon heights, eye colours, and other stuff, but I'm not sure that counts. Spamano just lives rentfree in my head, I don't do research for their personalities. I do research for the plots I want to do, or history I'm interested in. Like, I've read a lot about history, but it was because I wanted to learn the history of something, not because I wanted to use it for Hetalia fanfiction. I just also end up using it for Hetalia fanfiction.

26. Any Hetalia AUs that live rent free in your head? Every Hetalia AU I write or plan to write is living there, of course. Not a lot of canon ones though. I stole these characters, they are my dolls to play with now!

#thank you for the ask! <3 #prussianbluevanilla #fun facts about me #I am also a huge history nerd #I wanted to be a historian when I was younger (before I found out I could do my current field of studies)#Probably controversial but nekotalia mochitalia etc are boring to me #And I outright hate cardverse #If a fanfic is tagged cardverse I don't click it #It's weird and I don't care for it #Things like pirate or mermaid au and demon/angel au seems played out to me #Wingtalia was neat while it lasted but I don't think there's a lot of stories to make on it #Didn't originally like 2p but warmed up to it over the years #Nyotalia is as canon to me as Hetalia #The characters are slightly different but they're just female versions #Sometimes the story calls for women sometimes it calls for men #being silly

You can mute/blacklist certain words and tags. So when those people use certain tags you can mute it and you won't see it

I know, but unfortunately the way tumblr handles it is shit, plus it doesn't work if people don't tag this stuff.

plus, and I know this will sound petty, it does get really, really annoying when I'm scrolling through my dash and all the posts are just a grey square that just says 'POST CONTAINS TAGS YOU BLOCKED: DISCOURSE, QSMP' like that's nice but that's still 30 posts in a row that are greyed out and taking up space. I might as well just J past the posts after catching the first signs of it covering something I do not want to see

#asks #I genuinely hate how tumblr still shows us the posts we dont want to see but just slaps a sticker on top so we dont see it directly #theres a lot of jokes and memes about this topic as is like OOOH TEMPTING but honestly its just kind of a nuisance?#plus the filtering is just Bad #to give an example a few years back I had a mutual who got really into Thor. and I really dont like marvel so i blacklisted the word #however i am also a huge tolkien nerd and was following a lot of lotr/hobbit blogs. lotsa bagginshield especially #so every time there was a post about thorin it would be caught in the filter because yknow. THORin #plus again just the fact that people dont really tag this situation is just ://#I am neither too interested in ccs anymore nor is this a particularly pleasant topic for me so I want to stay away from it #for the record i do have muted/blacklisted tags and words. a lot of em #it just doesnt always work #and muting people for a week would just be easier

For some odd reason, I decided to look up and see if they were selling jewelry online for a lot of the Square Enix characters we all know and love (a lot of the girls, namely, but also some of the boys). And I was looking for fan-made ones, and also products done by Square Enix themselves, and I was honestly surprised by all I found.

First of all, Square Enix has actually made a lot of such merchandise themselves (for a pretty penny, of course, but it's still pretty neat). Like, they even made Ashe's necklace from Final Fantasy XII, which I was not expecting, oddly enough. Partly because a large part of me wasn't even sure it was a necklace I was seeing in her design, until today when I saw two artist renditions of her done by Akihiko Yoshida and Ryoma Itō, as opposed to just staring at her 3D model and trying to figure out if the jewel I was seeing was a necklace or part of her shirt.

Though, oddly, neither fans nor Square Enix have made Garnet's necklace... or, at the very least, I couldn't find one on Amazon nor Ebay today.

There also doesn't seem to be Shiki Misaki's pendant (which sadly doesn't surprise me, since TWEWY and Shiki herself aren't that popular), the Nameless Star from Kingdom Hearts yet, or Kairi from Kingdom Hearts... and that one vexes me so, when we have had Sora and Roxas' necklaces sold for years.

...I guess for the heck of it I'll spell out all I did find today.

Aerith's new necklace from the Remake series, fan done.

Squall's necklace fan done and professionally done by Square Enix.

Rinoa's necklace fan done... Though since at least the Griever part of her necklace is Squall's (as he gives it to her in the story), you could buy the professionally done pendant that was done for Squall and just give it to Rinoa and lie and say it was for her if you wanted. LOL. It's the same thing and you would be covering your bases there.

Also, a certain fan made a necklace inspired by Rinoa:

Tidus' necklace fan done and professionally done.

Yuna's necklace fan done and professionally done.

Ashe's necklace, as I mentioned above, professionally done.

Snow and Serah's engagement necklaces fan done and professionally done.

Lunafreya's necklace professionally done.

Sora's necklace fan done and professionally done.

Roxas' necklace fan done and professionally done.

#why did i figure all of this out? because my uncle is getting married and i bought a green dress for the wedding originally #and like the huge nerd i am. i was originally thinking of wearing luna's necklace. if it existed. with said dress #but then i found out that i needed to wear purple to the wedding instead (long story) so then i was like (i'll try to wear kairi's necklace #with it instead) and then it sent me down this rabbit hole #ff #final fantasy #kh #kingdom hearts #twewy #the world ends with you #i found some nice look alike necklaces for kairi shiki and the nameless star though and am tempted to buy them #because. once again. i'm a nerd (i especially need the kairi one. i swear)#and square... if i can do that. you can so easily make them yourself. i swear #if i ever do want a luna necklace i'm also so buying a lookalike there too. because. tbh. luna's necklace is pretty simple and as much as #i'd love the simple one i'm not paying $200 minimum for it on ebay. are you kidding me?#but anyway...
