#None of this would be necessary

[elephantbitterhead]

We finally bought a walk-in fruit cage, so the crows have enjoyed their last honeyberry and I've surely achieved a new level in the bougie pseudo-farmer game.

#we've been making scrap contraptions for the last two years #like REAL farmers #but the plants are getting too big to be sequestered w/our scrap wood & pipes #so now I must seek the help of professionals #if the birds would just WAIT #and we could SHARE the ripe fruit #none of this would be necessary #there's probably enough to go around #HOWEVER #they insist on picking it before I consider it ripe #and while this works out great for them b/c they get most of the fruit #I'm less satisfied with that arrangement #Over Hartside

tfw when you write an entire novel with two protagonists that spent the entire plot getting closer to each other, becoming best friends and eventually both of them deciding they would rather die than allow the other to not live a long, fulfilling life, their friendship carrying most of the emotional weight of the entire plot and the emotional climax being one of them sacrificing his life so the other can live and then the other crossing literal universes to find him, a tearful smile in his face as he confesses how much he missed him. which is the scene you wanted to write and show the most because, again, this is the pay off to the slowburn you've been writing in the entire novel and what everything has been building up to since the very first chapter. and then you end the novel by having them share a smile, finally confident they'll be able to have a happy future.

but you also just gotta have one of them marry offscreen because everyone knows you can't be happy if you're not in a het marriage with kids lmao it's whatever it's okay i'm fiNE-

#i talk a lot <3 #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #this post was going to be so much more bitter this is me being nice akjshdkahdk #i just....... i'm sad alsjdsjkal #and i don't think i'm wrong to be. like i'm not disapointed bc i don't actually expected lloyd and javier to be together #i'm not that optimistic lmao #but i did have the hope tged would have no romance #because lloyd and javier were already doing so much in the emotional and relationship development front of the plot #that adding romance just feels. awkward. like an aside. an add-on that affects none of the plot and is just there to make sure #no one accidentally gets confused and think those two are in love #and guess what! most of the romance does happen in literal side stories! literally an add-on that does nothing for the plot! i hate it! #it's the heteronormativity and amatonormativity of it all :/ #do i think it would've been cool for llojavi to be canon? absolutely! do i think it was necessary for the plot? nope! #they were already perfect the way they are! their friendship is the core of the entire plot and their relationship to each other #is what ultimately moves much of the plot in the latter half! #which is the way relationships should work in fiction! not just have them for the sake of having them! #lloyd didn't need a romantic subplot because the plot was already working perfectly without it! #also what's the point of having a character constantly think about what their idea of 'happy life' is if you're not going to challenge it #it's about the hero's journey of it all!!! #i have things to say dang it! #javier asrahan #tged

i think one of the most disappointing things is to see that your childhood friends have grown up to represent the kind of people you're disappointed in

#had a friendship break up w like one of my entire friend groups of six ppl? #found out that one of the girls in our friend group had sent screenshots of our private conversation about smth I was hurt over #to a gc with our other friends (but not me ofc) #and they all proceeded to talk shit about me :// I swear the way my stomach dropped when the friend I was having the convo w #sent me screenshots of what our mutual friends were saying about me #she knew how much it would hurt me but still did it just to prove a point (though I'm certain she misrepresented our conversation + my word #to them considering she blocked out what she had initially said to them lol) #my stomach hasn't dropped like that since high school #which is exactly where I thought we left this kind of deceitful behaviour. like how are you guys twenty one and still sending screenshots #and talking bad behind only one (1) friend's back when you know she can't defend herself in that space #I immediately texted our collective gc to explain a text she had sent but failed to give context for #then told them if I'm as selfish as they say I will leave this friend group. and then I left that gc #I also texted two friends who I knew were talking shit and I sent them the screenshots that first “friend” sent and pointed out how #she blocked out what she said so I'm suspicious that she skewed our conversation so they (the two other “friends”) should be wary #I told them I understood it was fair game to stoop. this low considering neither of them tried to reach out to me to hear my side #or defend me + my privacy #for context: the original argument was me voicing out that I was upset bc that first “friend” had invited and planned with with our friend #group an event that landed on my birthday without checking in with me if I was planning to spend time with them that day #and she kept defending herself and saying she didn't know I'd plan smth (probably bc my bday is two months away lmao) and she said #the event they'd be attending is just as important and necessary as being there for my birthday?? it's literally just a party her brother #(who none of us are close to lol) is DJing at. and I brought up how I'm their close friend (not her brother) and it's not fair to call #it equally necessary. but I suspect she skewed what I said greatly considering all of our friends started calling me selfish and unfair #but yeah v v crazy and hurtful and just astonishing #salmaspeaks

Honestly I think that if your Take on Israel involves it being any Special Kind Of Evil it's likely based on some kind of antisemitic theory. The Israeli government is doing blatant crimes against humanity in front of everyone, but it's unfortunately not special. There are multiple genocides ongoing perpetuated by different countries and governments right now because humanity has been doing this since the start of recorded history.

Netanyahu is not a special kind of evil, Israel is not a special kind of evil, its actually an extremely typical kind of evil. Which doesn't mean it can be ignored, absolutely speak out against it and put your voice behind the Palestinian people. They'll need it now that the ceasefire has ended again. But trying to conspiracy theory out how actually the Zionists are running everything or trying to make the Israeli people out as being somehow more evil or more likely to lie than any other group of people? That's just antisemitism and its been rampant ever since people felt like they had an excuse to let loose.

#eri talks #i have not forgotten the absolute disgusting garbage people have spit out about Israeli civilians #that never would have been said about any other civilian population no matter how awful their government is #the 'rape and torture didn't happen but if they did it was a good thing and totally justified' has been off the charts #even though none of it is necessary to support Palestinians because you should be able to support human rights regardless #anyway. check yourself and what you're spreading even if you're Totally Sure that its not antisemitism #because it's an ancient prejudice ingrained in several cultures and people have been following those dogwhistles for months now

Ok so literally no pressure, but I do have a kofi and if anyone feels like showing appreciation for my writing or art or I guess my cat via its medium, now would be a good time because there's a thing I really want to buy and I don't have enough birthday money left over for it lmao

(the thing is an art oriented android tablet. So that I can still draw shit when post work exhaustion compels me to collapse in bed against my desire to,,, you know, draw things.)

Link to my Kofi 👌

#life of sponty #cannot emphasise enough that this is not a necessary expenses thing #this is an if you feel like tipping a very tired artist thing #like man i literally just have to collapse in the afternoon #probably at least partially post viral fatigue #never quite recovered from covid #i still get exhausted walking a 20min round trip to the pharmacy most days. wack #rehab do be slow #anyway i have enough birthday money for like two thirds of the thing #any amount of the last third that yall feel like contributing would be lovely #but if none of you are feeling it i will simply have to engage my patience gland and fucking wait a while #which i am theoretically capable of #the last third is about £100 btw #tablets are money. unfortunately

insane behavior. like first of all, this is a comment on a T rated fic. so what the fuck is that 😂 I do have E rated fics, but if you're aware of that (which you SHOULD BE before bringing up nsfw as a bare minimum) then go comment on one of those. I keep the comments sections on T fics clean and i feel like that's basic logic lmao

second of all just. a weird way to phrase it.

third, you don't state a specific request unless you know they take them?? if you are asking whether they're open, it should be "do you take requests" and not "do you take requests for [specific thing]" because that's a lot more demanding and again: the nsfw thing. i guess "do you take requests for explicit fics" without saying what said thing is would be okay (IF they already have E fics) but also: don't most people take requests on their other socials rather than AO3 itself? like usually it's on your tumblr, twitter, etc that you take requests.

fourth. i don't. i don't take requests. i say in my FAQ i don't but i do Not think this person put that much effort in lmao

fifth. I HAVE MULTIPLE OF THESE ALREADY???? like this person so clearly Did Not Do Any Research and just basic logic is to check for said thing before asking. it's not hard you can literally search my profile for the tag like 😂 this comment is deranged on every level

#no part of this is not insane i had to point at it and laugh #i deleted and blocked them already lmao so don't bother looking for it #honestly there's been a few wild ones recently. myself and a friend both got comments from the SAME PERSON #randomly asking about a deleted fic by another author none of us had heard of or that had anything to do with our fics lmao #like guys: just don't bring up other fics in comments unprompted. its rude and rarely relevant and never necessary #im sure there will be some authors that feel differently but you never know which the author is and like #if you presented something you made to someone and they started talking about someone else's version how would you take that? #it's just kinda rude. and also the majority of the time the other fic mentioned is Bad lmao #(there are rare times when it is at least relevant and not bad that im like sure ill leave that but in general its just a dont) #at some point i will catch up on comments but the week long flare is making it kind of hard lmao. at least this was an inexplicable laugh

okay so I'm playing Stardew 1.6 and the only mod I've been using so far is UI Info Suite but I want to start gradually adding mods. I'm currently in Winter Year 1 and on track to finish the community center as soon as Spring rolls around, and I want to figure out my schedule for adding mods to this playthrough. so, a poll

#none isn't an option bc i miss mods v much #i'm thinking expanded is at the top of the list #chests anywhere would be good but not necessary #out of these automate is on the bottom of my list #my farm isnt complicated enough to really need it yet so i'm okay with that getting pushed to later in year 2 or beginning of year 3 #Stardew #stardew valley #stardew valley 1.6

still flipping through this book for john scraps and the way claremont describes rogue under the effects of his powers and how the powers themselves operate is actually so fucking interesting …. i’m going to steal it :)

#⧽ ⠀ ⠀ ── ⠀ ⠀ ooc : maybe magneto had a point actually. #it’s not just being able to control fire. it’s becoming the fire entirely. #it’s seeing the world in infrared. as energy. as objects with no other purpose but to burn. #it’s making the conscious decision NOT to succumb to the conflagration within and only feed it when necessary. #rogue harnessing john’s powers is her burning from the inside out with none of the finesse or control he’s had to learn just to stay alive. #it makes him SO MUCH more interesting than just a dude who can manipulate flames #( plus ​it hints at him possibly being able to unlock greater power if he actually pushed himself which would be fun to explore ) #anyway. maybe claremont can have one (1) right.

Did you like horses before this year or has this entire experience becoming a rancher who takes cares of horses a completely unexpected surprise/development for you and your career?

The whole thing has been a surprise i remember seeing the ad on craigslist last june for part time ranch hand and calling my mom and being like lol... what if... and then applying cuz yolo. And to be honest... horses are really really cool but i dont know that i really like any animals more than others i think theyre all pretty neat. I applied for other similar jobs years ago like dog trainer and animal control but this was what ended up working out. Thanks craigslist!

#i sent a picture of myself and my resume with a cover letter even though none were necessary but i told her why i was interested #and my boss has done this for a few people like college students mostly cuz its cheap labor and its so fun #would highly recommend looking on craigslist to anyone who is tired of working at dominos etc cuz farms always have work to be done

one of these days i'm going to quit making the most complicated character references known to man

in the meantime here's a little part of mercy's ref sheet for wip ...sunday i guess? pre-melted mercy be upon ye

#this definitely isn't cropped solely to cover nips and make it sfw. i would never crop art like that (sarcastic) #bo.wip #mercy tag #pre-ghoulified ref of a character that is almost exclusively drawn fully ghoulified is 100% necessary for art fight #i...... may also be including a 'modern au' version of this one for non-fallout purposes #and then there's her pre-goodsprings ghoul ref. and post-vegas ref. and her east coast/commonwealth ref. #mind you none of these include outfits. #why am i like this LMAO

[wilimia]

I'd be down for un lu-ing the dnd boys cause I got lu blocked ad hate how it affects most links meet aus, so yeah. If you do that I'd reach non lu audience. Most loz fandom doesn't follow lu blogs

The more I think about it the more I lean towards it :P I'm thinking of just not tagging it as Lu anymore and kinda adding more of my own design ideas. Also just incorporate more of DnD. Like it'll basically just be literally Links in the world of DnD

#it would be fun to come up w backstories for them all that match their classes #because i imagine they all haven't accomplished anything really? like none of them have killed Ganon or anything like that #to sorta match the vibe of the beginning of a campaign #again i still really like Lu but i dont see a connection to it as necessary for the dnd links ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #(also i feel like ive kind of outgrown the fandom but thats on me) #wili talks

[officialambassadorfrisk]

i cant fucking believe how much they derailed your campaign wtf

get their asses next time

Really? I can. (Stares directly into the camera.)

Anyways. Not to give too much away but I may or may not have some evil schemes cooking :)

#moss answers #it's so funny because NONE OF THAT was necessary #they would have disbanded all on their own #ruined a womans life and made an enemy and for WHAT. #i should give them a second deck of many things that'll go great i think <- should NOT do that #im ramblinf again whoops #anyways thanks bestie wish me luck

As a follow up from yesterday: making friends as an adult is truly so difficult. I wonder if I’ll ever find someone I can fall in and out of discussions with the way I can with my oldest friend. It feels like the frustration people who come out of long term relationships describe. That feeling of “do I really want to start from zero and explain the bare bones of my soul to another person? Is it really worth the effort? Shouldn’t I just stay alone?”

#when I brought the topic I had to discuss to Fae and she had NONE of the necessary background info #and I went to 🩵 and we immediately started discussing the topic #maybe I just have to accept that Fae and I only have a very selected list of things in common #but just. where would I even begin to find someone who knows what I MEAN #me just now in Fae’s messages all ‘how often do you think about feminism?’ to get a general grasp of whether I can talk about this at all w

You know, considering this is Daeran's quest liotr sure doesn't shut the fuck up

#pf wotr #rewriting this scene because the commander was too damn quiet for me here #like. i know for a fucking FACT tyrian would not stay quiet during the entire exchang #tyrian is great at politics not because hes a good liar but because hell throw facts that you Cannot Deny at your face #and Will Not Stop #the man cant lie to save his life but by god can he infodump #his charisma is high as shit too so it actually Works #also i didnt like how mean the commander had to be #and again. tyrian Cannot Fucking Lie to save his life #like he kinda can if he has to #but not to people he cares about #to bypass this he starts stating technically true things #'this was necessary ' 'i need to protect my companions' etc #none of them are LIES persay #but thwy sound really bad in context #tyrian is a devil blood tiefling who cannot lie to save his ass i think its so funny
