love when people say the locked tomb books are confusing. correct. that's what we're here for. tamsyn muir dumped us in the middle of the story and said "cope." we're lucky if we even know who our main character is.

If anything the "Stalin was bad" post once again proves that tankies are sheep* .They like to gather in big mobs, the members of which are only barely capable of independent thought and have the average knowledge and maturity levels of a particularly poorly educated 15yo.

The leaders occasionally put out something vaguely resembling an original thought for their followers to parrot back.**To quote a certain famous (if apocryphal) letter "the devil shits and your army eats it"

* I would like to apologize to sheep here. Good USEFUL animals, unlike tankies.

** also my apologies to parrots, who are both much smarter and more independent.

#tankies #i've gotten 20+ *add me please* ~jokes ~ in my notes and all of them seem to think they're original lmao #but very interesting they all got upset about a post that doesn't mention any of them by name and immediately ganged up on me #“the genocidal dictator was bad oh no what a controversial statement must crawl out to defend him* #offcourse 60% will backpedal and say whatever USSR did wrong wasn't True Communism #but somehow i don't trust them to fix those things if they get another go🙄 #🧲

i particularly think kaveh has zero muscle. you can't even argue that he has to be strong in the arms since he wields a claymore because well. he doesn't wield it. mehrak does basically everything and this isnt slander work smarter not harder hes extremely right about this. and anyways alhaitham is 100% a gym bro. he misses leg day sadly but he does have some muscle in the arms there. uhhhhh i lost track of what my point here was. i dont know. i guess something something character foils mirrors of each other (hates physical activity X is extremely annoying about going to the gym)

#kaveh making alhaitham carry the heavy furniture they bought after my last post about them lol #kaveh is better at piecing it together assuming it's an ikea furniture sort of thing. because kshahrewar and all #but he is absolutely breathless after minimal physical activity #i dont need muscles alhaitham i just need to be able to draw🙄. i do have them though. i even lift materials in construction sites sometimes #sure you do kaveh sure you do #kaveh #alhaitham #kavetham #haikaveh #don't know what it is with me today. kavetham disease is particularly bad #my posts

Everything’s a spectrum so I’m doing a chart to try and understand my aromanticism 😌

#under the hounds category so far was hand holding in public #and sharing a bedroom in a goodnight dear way #I will figure this out! #now’s the time to strike while my brain is malleable from no sleep #nowhere to hide now thoughts!!! #besides the inherent fogginess of a spectrum #it’s hard to understand how many things I disliked bc I was cast as a lady in them #but also there’s an element of cringing away from feeling owned and subsumed #(vocab word of the day) #gets me feeling like the asshole bad boy in a romantic comedy who doesn’t like to be trapped/put labels on things #but not for everything! #which is the tricky part #🙄 I have so much love but there are also the hounds #aromantic #onion’s nightttime thoughts

what makes sam and jackie compelling/interesting as a ship to u? /gen :O (not related to anything ive been meaning to send u this ask for a while and only just got round to it lol)

i think a big part of it is that the way jackie talks about sam makes them a lot more interesting as a character?

because objectively, sam sucks! as we see them about 90% of the time, they’re incredibly self serving and negligent. and that’s putting it in as simple terms as possible.

but we get these small implications as time goes on that there’s something beyond that! which is most notable in the interaction they have with dana in episode 83 (another thing i could talk about for a million years (i could also go on a whole other tangent about how them showing their face is another really huge example of this but that’s off topic rn)). but none of them are necessarily set in stone, outright saying who they are. like MAYBE sam isn’t completely horrible, but who can really be sure?

but then Jackie says this in it devours,

sam is nice! really nice, actually! outside of the specific context of them being the sheriff and instead them,,, fundamentally as a person. and it isn’t like jackie is this one off character whose judgment we can’t trust. we spend an entire book getting to know her! and i feel like jackie is reliable in this aspect, especially post novel 1. this is the first and really like,, ONLY time we get info on sam from somebody who actually knows them personally. and interestingly enough, the next time we get insight on this aspect of their character, it can be linked back to jackie. they only decide to stand up against the university of what it is once they threaten josh, who is jackie’s half brother. and it is IMMEDIATE they are,, FRONT and fucking center in that movement. like their relationship is so interesting because jackie saying something as simple as that shakes up everything we know about this character.

and this all makes it very interesting to explore just,, what makes sam so fucking horrible outside of that? like what is it that drives them to be that way. and there are so many possible answers to that question and i have my own extensive thoughts on that but again,, off topic.

i love it all so much because it plays into the major themes of perspective that wtnv has? which i think is my favorite thing about the podcast. cecil has his own perception of sam, so does dana, so does jackie. and none of those perceptions are necessarily false, because they’re based on those people’s individual experiences.

also i enjoy the way their relationship is foreshadowed in the novel because i think that with the way she describes it, sam is like the LAST character you’d expect her to end up with lmao.

but yeah TLDR; i find them compelling because sam is absolutely awful and jackie is not, but she describes them as a really nice person anyways ^-^

#tysm for asking!! i’ve been wanting to talk about this :3 #i was gonna put a cut on this but no… in 2024 we are irritating…. #they’re also both just really weird but in different ways which is funny #number one obscure wtnv ship in my heart #i think what sams character gets reduced to a lot in the fandom is like. their weird art shit and their ~opinions~ on desert bluffs? #but they literally have not done the art thing since episode 93 (EIGHT YEARS AGO) #and they have implied (really implied) character development on the desert bluffs thing #guys they’ve done other bad things too okay 🙄 #idk they’re very multifaceted. #also this is mostly unrelated but i’m SO UNBELIEVABLY UPSET that sam won’t be in the live recording for the attic #like i was so so so excited i was gonna analyze the fuck outta that #it’s okay though #wtnv #welcome to night vale #sheriff sam #jackie fierro

Okay this is a bad take but I'm reading All Star Batman and Robin and I can't shake the thought that it looks like something 10-years old Damian Wayne would make. Everyone being obsessed with Batman. Batman being 'COOL' and 'BADASS' (in absolutely 'cool for preteen' way), and doing wierdest, most bizzare things. Wierd 'training' of Dick who is left alone to eat rats, what sounds like such a League of Assasins thing to do. Alfred being SHREDDED (effect of basing how old people look based on Ra's al Ghul). Justice League being a bunch of squabbling wierdos. I attribute rampant sexualization of women to the effect of a kid trying to write 'adult' comic.

The cherry on top is imagining Damian finding his horribly bad comic every once in a while and being painfully reminded of his 10-year old self being cringe idiot, but being unable to force himself to throw it away because of the actually good art.

BUT the absolute banger is imagining his siblings FINDING his comics and REAIDNG them. Aloud. Doing voices and recreations of their favourite scenes. Jason almost dying a second time, from laughing during his stellar """I'M A GODDAMN BATMAN""" . Tim going "why. why would you write something like that" every three lines, visibly pained. Everyone calling Dick, "Dick Grayson, age X" when talking to him for the next few years.

#damian wayne #all star batman and robin #bad take #batfamily #me reading ASBAR as a thing written by actual adult: 🙄🙅‍♀️ #me reading ASBAR as an in-universe cringey kid work: 🥰🥰 #and all star batman and robin has such a GREAT ART its such a waste

Hunger Games rant

This is kind of surprising me because I used to ship Everlark when I read the books years ago but upon a re-read as an adult?

I’m just wandering through the Hunger Games fandom and seriously have to say… I very very much doubt that Katniss and Peeta “would’ve happened anyway” if they were not reaped nor if the Games never existed.

Sure, he had a crush on her which is likely why he gave her the burned bread that day(something that I’m pretty sure isn’t even covered in the movies) which people seem to think makes her required to like him back. Their relationship was also a forced play for the Capitol, she had no choice. If it was “gonna happen anyway”, she would’ve been dating him already by the first book. 

As an (now)Everthorne shipper, I am a little biased but she clearly has more in common with Gale, they had known each other for years, and she even bluntly states that “he is hers and she is his” at one point. Seems straight forward to me. Gale also deserved better than what SC did to him. Yes, he helped to design those bombs but I very much doubt he knew what Coin was going to use them for nor did he know that Prim was going to be there and put in the direct line of fire. Prove me wrong. I’m also slightly irritated that Katniss holds this over his head, and while I understand given that it’s Prim, she should know him better than that. Just seemed like an easy way for Collins to get rid of him so she could pander to fans by putting Katniss with Peeta. Yes, he lied by omission but he didn’t want to hurt her. And I find it odd that she just can’t seem to get over that, while she seems to just instantly forgive Peeta for every manipulation(unintended or not) that he puts her through. 

I do find it funny that some people seriously seem to think that Gale and Katniss actually are cousins. Take the Everlark blinders off, people. You really think that Collins would create a love triangle that involved incest?

She picked Peeta in the end because he could give her stability in a post war world when she had no one, not because she loved him like that. Matches up to “she’ll pick who she can’t survive without” to me. I know people immediately interpret that as “she’ll pick who she loves” but no. If Gale meant it that way, he would’ve said it that way but he also knows the only one Katniss would and could ever truly love is Prim. Peeta does not understand this about her.

The movies just showed a “happy-ever-after Everlark” ending while ignoring that fact that Peeta is still struggling with the hijack(and poses a continuing threat to Katniss because of it) and in the books, Katniss does wonder what kind of future she also could’ve had with Gale like they were talking about before the first reaping. But she dismisses it because she imagines that he’s moved on. Her ending with Peeta comes across to me as “obligation” still. Surprisingly, lots of people seem to get this too I’ve read but most are still “romantic Everlark” anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Katniss had gone through the books pretty adamant that she didn’t want to marry or have children and yes, that was largely because she didn’t want them to have to go through the Games but it’s also been said behind the scenes that she only did these exact things in the end because Peeta wanted it. Literally along the lines of “I didn’t want children but Peeta did and kept asking until I finally caved…” just rubs me the wrong way.

I think it would’ve been a refreshing change to have ended this series the way Katniss originally wanted. Where she didn’t end up with anyone. (@zalrb here on Tumblr says this all way better than I ever could. Go visit them.)

#my own opinion #anti Everlark #seriously they wouldn’t have just happened anyway had the games not existed #if they were ever going to be a thing it would’ve happened before the first book #hunger games #the hunger games #I just had to rant after going through so much fanfiction where ‘Everlark would be a thing no matter what!’ #I also hated starting a story that was marked specifically as Everthorne only to have Katniss meet Peeta #and literally decide two seconds later that she loves him instead and runs off to be with him #how does that make Gale the bad guy? ugh 🙄 #Or he is written wildly out of character to justify her running off with Peeta #just had to get all this off my chest #you don’t like or agree? I don’t care really #as said this is my opinion #and rant

I love mythology so much and it’s taking everything in me to not write a full fledge fic about a Cupid and Psyche au omfg

justttttt Cupid Bakugou who is just so, so fucking beautiful. he’s always been recorded by other mortals for being akin to sunlight himself—all golden hues and sharp angles and high cheekbones and massive wings. wings that span as wide as an entire village, that sparkle when the light hits them, loud when they beat to send him soaring into the skies above. but his mouth? his attitude?

everyone always wonders why he was never the god of war, instead. but he’s damn good at his job, with his arrows propped up on his back, swift with discharging them into another stupid mortal who’s fallen for the local towns idiot. but hey, they’re in love, and it’s his job to enforce that love go over well.

and then he sees you—the most beautiful mortal, that you’re even compared to the gods, to his mother. he wants you so bad, if not to treasure and keep you against his side as he travels over the oceans cold waters, than to keep you safe from the vile men who want you as their partner and the disgusting women who envy you for having it all.

omg and the part where he takes you to stay in his palace and asks you not to ever look at his face???? it’s killing him, to wear that mask to your nightly dinners, to be able to look at the soft curve of your mouth when you frown and ask him to reveal himself. to be able to look at how you stare back at him, eyes pretty and furious, frustrated and mad, wanting to go back on the conditions you agreed upon because having to sit across from him without seeing him is absolute torture. I am. vibrating.

#I’m so sad bc I’ve been having so many ideas without having the energy to actually write them #I know it’s bc this past semester was hard on top of other things #but I really just wanna get back into the groove of things #but yes omg I LOVEEEE mythology #I’m taking a mythology class next semester and I’m genuinely so excited for it!!!! #would not be surprised if I started an entire mythology series on ao3 after that class LOL #I’ve written war god bkg before and I loved it #omg it pissed me off so bad when ppl were like “war god bkg is so cliche 🙄’ #girl eat my dick HOW ABOUT THAT #I also kinda love psyche bkg too ngl #I sat here for like an hour tryna figure out which one he could be lmfao #bc him as psyche where he’s SO beautiful and is so pissy about not being able to see you UGH he’d be such a brat and I’d love it #also if you haven’t read the story of Cupid n psyche pls do it’s so good #I’m sorry I’m talking so much I just really love mythology #—new treat in the streets! 🍫 #bakugou treats! 🍬

How we feeling Beatles people?

#tbh I’m anxious #biopic #like… not to sound like a beatles fan (stfu that’s exactly what i’m going for) but there’s just so much nuance to the four of them that you #like. REALLY need to know the beatles in order to do this right #i’d hate for them to be sugarcoated for the purpose of making their story more inspiring or positive or whatever #like no give me the drama! let the normies know about ringo’s raging alcoholism and all the pettiness from all four members after the split #and please for the love of GOD don’t lean into the whole ‘quiet beatle’ thing for george. with peace and love that man didn’t shut the fuck #up sometimes #we love him for it!! #the casting also worries me…. manifesting that whoever’s in charge of all that understands the ethereal beauty of the beatles in the 60s #also please please please don’t let them be a bunch of sexist dick heads about yoko. no she did not break up the beatles 🙄🙄 #but for all my worryong i’m equally excited i think. because if they do these right they have the potential to be really cool : #i’m only so anxious because i want this to be good so bad 😭 #the beatles #thoughts

Against my better judgement I'm watching more of the 2016 ppg reboot and lemme tell you something. I HAAAAAAATE the way they write Utonium I HATE IT!!!

But sometimes there'll be a little moment here or there where he's kinda...cute > ^ <

#jane journals #self insert talk #🔬 starkissed scientist 🔬 #ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE THERE'LL BE A VERY RARE W #like the one i just watched on recommendation from my partner where bubbles doesnt feel cute anymore cause she took a bad school photo #and woww they CAN write him being a good dad for once!! 🙄🙄🙄 #not like good dad is a CORE PART OF HIS CHARACTER #but he reminds her that being cute is just ONE facet of what makes her a wonderful person #and then he brings her close and says 'between you and me you're the cutest one in the world!' UGGGHH #YOU CANT DO THAT YOU CANT TRICK ME LIKE THAT!!!! #and in the one i currently just finished he had a. job interview?? i guess he DOESNT get paid by the government #but the lady doing his interview said that they 'really love his work' and he BLUSHED ugghgh #fuck this show. ESPECIALLY FUCK IT FOR HAVING /SOME/ MOMENTS I ACTUALLY LIKE!!!!! #also it seems weird to me that bubbles would become so hung up on being cute #in the og its not like she's consciously being cute because its her THING she just IS #shes naturally innocent and good hearted ie CUTE #idfk #oh also buttercup pulls out a bucket list and the first thing is 'yell at a bird' #and ngl that made me blow air out of my nose ajfkf #ugh i could say a lot more but im not gonna

I would be more ambivalent to a lot of the Steve hate if it wasn't just people blaming him for other characters getting bad writing like Steve doesn't also suffer from shitty writing lol. Like the Duffers just aren't great show runners why are we blaming fictional characters that they created for that lol

#like its one thing if your attacking parts of the fandom #which is a whole separate post lmao #but like acting like steve existing is why jonathan is written bad like im sorry 🙄 i want better writing for jonathan too! #steve doesnt exist why are you blaming him for shit the writers do lol #fandom wank

I should participate in the grand tumblr tradition and just post random scenes I’ve written for various fics I’ll never finish but alas i am personally not allowed to so instead they live on my computer in scrivener files where they will wither and die

#if I could get the nerve up to post anything #I honestly think it would be good for me and my writing or whatever if I tried to share more of it but #I’m like. allergic to sharing things that aren’t complete #so anything that’s like. a random isolated impulse just stagnates on my laptop #I love reading other people’s random scenes! but I’m different… #I guess I’m having writers block 🙄 not really just can’t seem to write anything that’s a finished product all this year #actually this post is about my sister rereading the Russian doll au randomly the other week #and being like this was super good actually. too bad it will never cohere into the 50k novel it demands to be #instead it’s 15k of Stuff with no way to finish it #what I really need is to learn to write one shots… that would fix me
