#and it sucks. and its tiring

[grapecaseschoices]

as the time approaches us, i just wanted to say that i am IMMEDIATEY sus of anyone who does not have an F mc (mainly @ those who have an mc for each ro EXCEPT F Hauville) and/or (doubly sus) doesn’t have any F content on their blog. 

as someone who's also black myself I definitely agree with the F hauville not being as popular, specially since friends to lovers seems to be quite a popular trope in if, specially when the character in question is white or ambiguously light brown/tan skinned, but the author never mentions where the character is actually from (I wish more authors put where the character is from in terms of ethnicity and nationality because the amount of white washed art/erased ethnic features in art I've seen generally in the IF community is not cute but anyways). I do have some problems with the way F and M are portrayed and treated by the author at times, specially when it comes to some of the racial stereotypes used and the portrayal of Sin, an assyrian character in Book 3 as a trapped man, but that's a point for another day. I absolutely adore Wayhaven but I do wish that F was treated better by the fandom. I think sometimes some fans kind of infantilise F and just brush them off as the sassy best friend with no other role in the story, which is kind of sad because if you actually play they're route you get to see that theres more to them than meets the eye in the same way that the other ros do.

why do i need to say more when you already said it all so well anon?

bloop! what more can i say to this? this is true facts. like i get that sometimes a lot of people ARE tired of that trope -- especially on tumblr; and people do love the angsty. But it is STILL a very popular trope for a reason. And I've seen with my own eyes how the sweet RO/best friend RO goes well over when they aren't black (and in certain circumstances, when they aren't a person of color period -- but especially when they aren't black*) that I can't fully buy that the preference argument isn't back with some racial bias. But whatever, people can make peace with themselves about it. I will remain sus.

have you been reading my brain anon? because that was going to be my NEXT bitchy/vent post. But I was like let me pace the dashes. But respect for put it all out there.

I need writers to bring back putting descriptions on their intro posts (they did it for a time but stopped) or doing a description post immediately. 1) Because of what you stated and 2) because I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time on a game that is fully white. /shrugs. I mean I guess it is good that, if they feel they can't write minoroities not to include them at all -- because as you said, I wouldn't want to invest in a story where the black and brown characters are then treated stereotypically. But that still doesn't mean that I want to read a story where the majority is white and the lone amibigously brown/East Asian RO is barely developed.

No, do go on anon. (When you feel like it that is!) I'd love to read your thoughts. I do think Sera has improved in respects of her writing of F and M as characters in the story, both in and out of their own routes. However, I do agree that the whole Sin thing did make me side-eye hard. I heard she's gotten sensitivity readers, so we shall see how that goes.

Well stated. This is, in the crux, is my frustration of the matter. That and the fact that this is STILL an issue. As I stated in my tags, I HAVE seen improvement -- but just going through the F Hauville tag shows how much F is still a general afterthought to the general tumblr fandom.

#f hauville #twc #interactive fiction #my anons are so big brained #how about yours? #grapecase answers #the wayhaven chronicles #twc meta #*now there are exceptions: leo from lure of the gallows is a very popular black best friend ro #(but from what i can recall leo isn't dark skiinned. and leo is also the ONLY one i can think of) #speaking of that infantalization is why i was hesitant to reblog that one f fanart #with the arrow #it is interesting how experience shapes one's outlook -- bc as a black person that was immediately in the forefront of my mind #like if reblogging an art where f looks younger was enabling the treatment #i ended up reblogging it bc i didnt feel anything malicious wa meant but it's a reminder of how different our fandom experience is from a #white person's. #especially re: characters that look like us #and it sucks. and its tiring #(i mean sometimes it can be joy. and i love being black and lauding black characters. but man fandom is such such an intense microcosm of #the real world. and taht can be so annoying. #especially with how some of yall engage -- smh.)

i see people prophesying a terrible fate for alice, sam and others with the justification of "they are jonny sims' characters! look at what he did to x!".

while that is an understandable instinct, we have to remember that the main writer for protocol is Alex. that's SO much worse and none of you are talking about it.

#tmagp #saying this not only because i think its sad that people are crediting exclusively jonny when they said several times alex is way more- #involved in the writing kinda sucks. like give him some credit i am so tired of “jonny sims' characters” #but also because compared to jonny i have absolutely zero trust in him and he is a bastard and i cant wait to see how he tortures us #the magnus protocol

I know other adults like to joke about how much pain they're in, but genuinely, please try to get your pain checked out if you're an adult experiencing it, or at least adapt your life in whatever way lessens your pain.

Your pain deserves to be addressed. Please don't "let" it get worse because you've been told that to grow older is to suffer. No, you aren't being needy or selfish or annoying. Ultimately, you are the one who suffers the most from the state of your health, and it's entirely reasonable to want your health to be up to your standards.

#disability #chronic pain #it's actually not normal to feel scared to sneeze for fear of making your pain worse (calling myself out) #i dunno i guess maybe i'm just ~too young~ an adult but i'm already tired of the jokes about pain 😮‍💨 #i've been at this pain going on decades now so i guess that's what's gotten me kind of sensitive lol #like... it's just shitty to be told that 'its gonna get SO much worse so don't even TRY' as an adult with pain #basically when you're a kid you're too young but if you're an adult well... that's just what you get so suck it tf up #i'm going back to playing video games so that i may live in the comforting realm of fantasy (Much Less Pain Universe) #(trying to be grateful that my body is Very invested in telling me that it needs to be handled gently but it's hard) #talking so much about this just to continuously make sure that people don't do what i did in the past

alex alex !! what is ur favourite hc about modern bf sukuna and ur fav bc about regular sukuna

rubs my hands together - I suck at hcs

honestly, they're probably very similar - just without the four eyes and cursed energy LOL but

My favourite modern bf!Sukuna hc hmm... I just imagine him very touchy, but not in the way you might think. It's just more of a possessive thing; his arm has to be around your shoulders or waist, his fingers always linger on your outer thigh, the small of your back. It's subtle touches too like the brush of his fingers against yours, a nudge of his foot against yours under the table. It's just the possessiveness of it all, I think he just knows that he's absolutely winning with you at his side. His possessiveness doesn't come from a place of insecurity but rather just pure ego

Omg, I also imagine he's the type of guy to dress well, idk why but to me, he would be the one to wear those very nice designer brand jackets that are SO EXPENSIVE. He also smells so good, even when he steps out of the shower it's intoxicating, heady and musky---

He just looks after himself really well, he prides himself on his appearance and not in a vain way; he just likes it lol. It's an effortless kind of good looking too, he makes me want to shake him around. (This one is kinda self-indulgent, I just love a man who smells good and dresses nice LMAO)

And then my favourite regular!Sukuna hc is absolutely just how brutal he is. especially when it comes to you, it's just a primal instinct; to protect what's his. the type of guy to rip the world asunder for you if you asked, the type of guy to not care about anyone but you. that kinda thing

Similar to the modern bf!Sukuna hc here, I think Sukuna also just smells good in general. a musk that's not too overwhelming, y'know the one where you want to make a home in his neck and live there for the rest of eternity - yeah

#— alex has mail ! #— user tteokdorokimain #sukuna headcanons #WAH these feel like they suck #but its midnight n i am tired. brain mush :< #i also miss when i had an expensive jacket like that. it was a nice versace one #you'll never guess who took it (my ex)

DISTRACTIONS sometimes its the drive to help and save our friends that pushes us to learn and to succeed. unfortunately its normally ''unethical'' to replicate that in a classroom setting. I ONLY JUST FINISHED THE LAST PAGE HERE, THE FIRST TWO WERE LITERALLY FROM LAST YEAR, N A FEW MONTHS APART. LOOOOK AT MY EVOLUTION. im very proud of this and bled REALLY HARD FOR THE LAST PAGE. PLEASE ABSORB THIS.

#gillion tidestrider #jrwi fanart #jrwi show #jrwi riptide #the last page honestly just took super long bc i dropped it for a long while. only recently wiped the dust off o it. #IM RLY PROUD OF ALOT O THINGS ABT THAT LAST PAGE #LIKE THE PERSPECTIVE N THE WIDE SHOTS OR WHATEVER #IT WASNT EASY BUT I MADE IT LOOK GOOD!! IM SO HAPPY WITH IT #I ALSO just really love drawing gillion as soooo small #just a little guy with the weight of the world bolted to his tiny tiny shoulders #n yknow what while im here ill talk abt the first two comics aswell. i like taking inspo from JTHM for this kinda stuff #more specifically SQUEE n the way his dad was just sooo honest and cruel to him. 'yeah its your fault my life sucks' n all that. i imagine #that gillion prolly dealt with alot o that too. i know weve already seen the elders #but i did initially imagine them to be very much like the Tallests from invader zim. they just hate this little guy. hes so small n lame #hes prolly had teachers like that im sure. i like thinkin about gills experience in school!! #i fell in love with him the moment he said that he wasnt good at being a student like girl ME TOOOO WAAAAAA #HE SUCKS In school and everyone is just sooo tired of him but they gotta put up with him bc hes the Chosen One #but GOD they wish they had someone more competent i bet. it was prolly a relief when they banished him #could u imagine being that? someone so insufferable that people sigh in relief when youre gone. poor poor gillion #ANYWAY THATS ALL MY THOUGHTS #TALK ABT UR THOUGHTS IN THE TAGS TOO DIPSHIIITT CMAAAHHNN

i know we’ve all ragged on this scene but i really can’t get enough of ivypool openly admitting she shut down the patrol over dovewing and twigpaw’s immediately gotta look directly into the camera to say “remember kids! marrying outsiders is WRONG! ivypool didn’t totally fuck up here, she had good intentions so let’s not hold this against her! everything should be forgiven now :)”

#it sucks cause if they didnt include that id actually like this scene a lot #i like ivypool torpedoing her relationships over her own hangups. i like her causing conflict with it #but so many of her actions are immediately followed by the pov character going ‘’yes ivypool youre right ivypool’’ #like the authors dont actually want to commit to her being complicated and messy #and like after all the exhausting stuff from book 3 i dont even think its weird that twigpaw isnt angry with her or anything #i can totally see her being tired and just feeling relieved it wasnt about her #its the tirade there about how actually ivy is right and you should agree with her intentions’’ #avos liveread #and i can see ivypool apologizing earnestly when she realizes how bad she screwed up

hey. i love an epic. i love intensity. however. i get this feeling sometimes like people need every poem to be masterful and incredible and profound and—they don’t. poems can be corny and sweet and simple. sentimental and small. novels can range from tolstoy to a flimsy beach read. poems are also allowed to do that. that’s all.

#i see this more on twitter of people being like This Shit Sucks about a simple or silly poem #and you know what? tired of it. #i revere poetry but sometimes reverence can turn to disgust #if you aren’t willing to see the vagaries of a form #its highs and lows #and accept them all as contributions to the genre #anyway #soapbox #mine #poetry

Wait, why do you dislike kr/alsei so much? Especially given Ralsei's unrequited crush is borderline canon nowadays? (No judgement)

noelle saying ralsei looks like asriel, and susie saying he looks like toriel, and ralsei being an anagram of asriel, and kris pretty consistently being put off by/uncomfortable around ralsei and honestly I'm just hoping we see in later chapters we've looking at ralsei's interactions with kris all wrong like He doesn't even see it as romantic he's just Awkward or maybe he's just infatuated with the player and if not i hope to fucking god Mr Robert Toby Radiation Fox has an good explanation for ralsei maybe seemingly having a crush on someone who thinks he looks like their brother
