#but ah well c'est la vie

[mishapen-dear]

genuine question but is there any fandom where a character is well written by the majority. im thinking about fandom culture and the spread of frustration when people dont write characters well but. honestly in all the fandoms ive been in there's only like, a Select number of authors who i trust to write Well, let alone write Well AND In Character. character analysis and writing and getting inside characters' heads are all separate skills (all of which are trained by roleplaying fyi can CONFIRM playing pretend with your friends is good for you). there's been more than once where I've disagreed with an interpretation that others agreed with, and then I turned out wrong. or i turned out right. like it doesnt matter WHO is right it just matters that differences in character analysis exist, so even if you DO write well AND write in character, your in character is still going to be someone else's out of character

there's this sort of. vibe. that to play in the sandbox you Need to be able to make a castle, and if you can't make a castle then you shouldn't bother, and it completely dismisses the idea that youre in that sandbox to PLAY in the first place. there's this Weight of disappointing someone if you can't build something that they like, but that forgets that you aren't there to build them a castle. like, be KIND. if you disagree with someone then please make an effort to do so kindly. i dont give a shit about fandom discourse but there is a reason kids get removed from sandboxes if they keep throwing sand in people's eyes. but if they don't like your misshapen sand pile, then youre not obligated to change it. even if you yourself end up hating that same sand pile later- youre not building a legacy. youre playing. and sometimes the result of that play is out of character drivel. theres a reason there are so many authors and so few who i like to consistently read and thats because everyone is Fucking Around in their hobby space. hash tag brag or whatever but i can build castles. ive built several that im v proud of. ive also dug holes in the sand for fun and then tripped on them when trying to get up. I often dug a hole and then got up and fucking- whoops, its a castle now, and i didn't realize i'd made something to be proud of until after the fact. the whole time while creating shit i was Convinced it was bullshit that didn't make sense. and then other times i was Convinced it was bullshit and then i was Right and i can look back and go. huh. ew. but it doesn't matter what the end result was, because i had fun playing in the sandbox

this wasn't meant to turn into a ramble but i have Feelings about bad art and art that's badly perceived and how public perception can screw with your head and how making art youre proud of is fucking. it's so difficult!!! it's hard!! it's really fun, which is why i try to make it, but i promise you it is Okay to not tryhard creativity. even if you CAN, it's okay not to do it all the time. or ever, even. fuck around find out have fun etc

#NOT a discourse post i am musing out loud #there's discourse goign around the dash rn or i wouldnt mention it #but the past few weeks ive seen a lot of “DONT fucking mischaracterize my guy my fuckign god” #which is one of the most frustrating pet peeve there is #but i think a lot too about little baby me #fresh on her writing journey #and how discouraged i would be if someone pointed out the mistakes id made #i made a Lot of fuckups #and i also think about this one fic where one of the characters was INCREDIBLY out of character #me today would not be able to stomach reading it #but baby me was so ENCHANTED #and it introduced to me the concept that you dont always know the reason someone does something #and it made me read even more #and because of that i eventually found Expert Skill level fics #which introduced me to MANY little tricks and fidgets ive tried to implement #there were so so many reviews on that fic that called it shit or complained about the bad characterization #but a decade later i still think about it #there were several very corny mine/craft horror fics i read #which back in the day would be called cringe #and those were what inspired me to write my first horror fic and now im Enchanted by the whole genre #theres a lot of stuff i dont like to read but i like that other people are enjoying themselves #i dont know how to be succinct i hope my point is coming across well #this ties into my thing where fiction is for you first others later #here are my credentials: bb/h fan since before the elections (hi i was the guy who noticed his lack of armour post elections) #and a cross-fandom comment trend of people going 'woa i can see this happening in canon' #im not talking out my ass i genuinely think its more important to have fun than to write accurate characterization #which. is a more 'duh' and clarifying thing than everything else ive written #but ah well c'est la vie #also also just realized this could be interpreted like that- NOT an attack on people who complain about mischaracterization either lmao #i do that too w friends. this is to reassure people who put pressure on themselves to create things Well all the time

Randy Random decided that Salvatore the cat was not enough for our colony and sent us eleven chickens, a brachiosaurus (we hunted it for the fifteen units of kibble and three silver it was carrying), and a feralisk migration (which we steered well clear of).

AND THEN Randy sent three caravans in rapid succession, one which had Socks' wife (Socks is in prison atm), and one with Vasso's biologically-older, chronologically-younger brother.

We sold all our male chickens to one of the caravans, I didn't pay attention to which one it was, and now we are down to four out of eleven chickens, which is much more manageable.

A man named Purple Shark crashed near us, and we deigned to rescue him, but if he wants to stick around he'll be treated to the same fate as Socks and Blackdragon.

Speaking of Socks and Blackdragon...

They tried to break out together (how the tables have turned from Blackdragon holding Socks prisoner!!), and we decided now was as good a time as any to begin our violent conversion while our guest Purple Shark slept in the background.

Blackdragon was first up, and he saw our "reasonable ways" (what reasonable ways??) and converted. So it looks like we won't be eating him anytime soon, but he is still in jail until we can recruit him. We do have to wait twenty days before we can do the ritual with Socks, but if she converts in those twenty days, we'll just recruit her and be done with it.

decided to recolor some lines i had saved from a drawing about a year ago to see the differences in my coloring style from then to now, but in the end i recycled so many colors that it ended up looking like a restricted palette coloring 💀

#sonic #shadow the hedgehog #rouge the bat #iratusmus.png #like i still colored it in ms paint and chose my colors from the color picker but... LMAO #ah well. c'est la vie or whatever

Quick reminder! Go save fics that you enjoy! And I don't mean bookmark them, I mean copy and paste the fic onto a word document, or a notes app, or just anywhere in general, because you don't know when the original fic will become unavailable.

Prowling Pinterest for outfit ideas and an orange pantsuit took me hostage and made me draw this

dear portion of caps fandom that has me blocked just for having tom wilson opinions: let me in i promise i'll be nice

#i never even said anything mean about him i just said it's not even his fault he does war crimes bc the system allows him to #it's systemic y'know #you could launch him to the moon and whatever you dont like about his play style there'll be four more of him in a week #UNLESS the nhl systemically reforms and refines its rules and their enforcement to incentivize styles of play that cause fewer injuries #until that time. getting mad at him personally kinda completely misses the point #because the more productive thing to be angry at is the system that does nothing to disincentivize dangerous play #anyway i know y'all won't unblock me over this but ah well. c'est la vie

[plasma-packin-mama]

I hope you all perceive me as annoying but in an earnest and endearing way

#ive judt accepted at this point in my life that im like for sure annoying #so im hoping that the silly and whimsy in my heart is enjoyable nonetheless #if not. ah well. c'est la vie #p speak

man this is all a mess. (irl stuff not here dont worry, everything here good)

[alyssumflowersgarden]

so I got this side job as a tour guide which I was (am?) pretty excited about. I asked to do the ghost tour because awesome metaphysical and they said they liked to focus on the facts which I like. history, woohoo

but then I went on it. or rather, the guy who currently does it took three of us for a walk as he explained the various stories attached to houses/ areas and basically how he does it.

and I realized that it's all... horror stories, and grizzly details of awful murders.

I'm not sure why I expected anything different, but I'm not sure I want to do that, to tell those stories, to deal with... I get spooked easily by ghosts and other kinds of spirits and the one I did see on that tour was... freaked me out.

like, one of the ones at the very beginning, Pierre Jardin, was pretty cool. Idk if I believe the time portal weirdness they talked about but he just wanted attention. That was it. Bothered the restaurant until they set out a table for him every night. He's one of the most photographable ghosts apparently.

I want to give tours about the history and I want to mix in my love of the metaphysical but I just don't know how

#suggestions welcome #in case Pierre Jardin didn't give it away #it's a French Quarter walking tour #doxxing myself oops #ah well c'est la vie #mom let me carry her taser and i know some kung fu #try to stalk me and i'll kick ur ass 💜

Another morning another day

I've been thinking a lot about going to the animal shelter

#speculation nation #there r many cats there and i have an aching spot available for one #passively thinking about getting a kitten. just bc id enjoy getting to raise a cat for once #and i think tally would be a good big sister given how much she groomed cassy #at the same time tho i wanna adopt a cat that might not otherwise be adopted so quickly. aka an adult cat #& also like with tally. i very purposefully picked out the loud black cat bc everyone was passing her up #but she was YELLINGGG at me from the cage. and i was like 'oh alright' and took her home #and now shes my sweet darling girl. she just needed like a year to chill out so she is no longer a chaos demon lmao #it's also hard to know what youre getting with a kitten. and it's a lot of resposibility. so like. idk. #but also. Kitten Cute... 🥺 #i'll have to see what they have when i go there. still not happening for at least a few more days. #it feels too soon rn. but im thinking about this all to cope lol. i hate having only one cat. #i keep wanting to go out to greet Cat Number 2 in the living room. but. nope. so i go back to greet tally on my bed #she's a loving cat but she does Not like to be smothered. and im kind of smothering her lmao #that's another reason to get a 2nd cat. yes i want tally to have company when im gone at work #but also i need a second cat that is very affectionate bc I Want My Hugs And Kisses Dammit #idk when im getting his ashes back. probably somewhat soon. id estimate tomorrow? they were rly quick with sammy's #idk what im gonna do if they call while im at work lol. cry probably. #tho i havent cried in almost a full day!! been like 22 hours. i have been Trying to cope. mixed results. #ah well. c'est la vie and all that shit. #animal death ment/

Fic Stats Game

got tagged by @pointvee :D (hi vee <3) I love stats so this was very fun

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

I think katwala also said this but yeah there's a lot of dsmp on here which does not surprise me haha

Most Hits: Death and Her Angel, with 2790 hits. This one is a multichapter look at c!Philza and c!Kristin's relationship, starting in hardcore and moving up through SMPEarth. As yet unfinished, but I do plan on adding at least one more chapter to end it well.

2nd Most Kudos: This is actually also Death and Her Angel, so I'll do the 3rd most instead, which is I Don't Discriminate (Between the Sinners and the Saints), with 239 kudos. This is Ranboo's POV of Phil's house arrest and a couple things afterward during the Butcher Army arc :D

3rd Most Comments: Moments in the Multiverse! (21 comment threads) This is a collection of a bunch of unfinished/half-baked X-Men plot ideas I had, mostly centered around Rogue/Gambit lol. Hopped around various continuities including the movies, comics, and Evo.

4th Most Bookmarks: Only Magic's Gonna Save Your Soul, a Beast!Wirt AU OTGW fic I did for a discord event last Halloween. Probably my favorite fic I have written to date. (40 bookmarks!)

5th Most Words: As The Sun Rises, a multichapter DSMP aeduo Ladyhawke AU (13,546 words). It is unfinished and I might return to it at some point, but chances are slim currently.

Least Words: This Doesn't Change Anything, (390 words) a little Zutara ficlet I originally wrote for a competition on FFN haha. It's a short scene from "The Southern Raiders" with a little extra added on <3

I shall tag. hm. @fennzer, @crystalcatgamer, and @gracefulleopard (leo I will make you prove you are famous :P), but if you see this and I didn't tag you, feel free to also do it. we love to see more statistics in the world. also if I did tag you do not feel obligated if you don't want to lol

#tag game #fool answers #fool writes #I realized as I was typing the tag list that these are all pretty much the same people I tagged for the fanfic bingo #ah well c'est la vie get tagged friends

[ID: a sketch page of transformers. on the far left is bumblebee looking sad. in the middle bumblebee is wincing and saying “frag!” an arrow pointing to him indicates he popped a tire. Ratchet next to him and looking mad. He’s shouting “who taught you that?” under is ratchet glaring at deadlock who is looking comically concerned and has “uh oh” written next to him. in the right corner is a painting of the top half of bumblebee’s face. end ID]

some doodles from the margins of a bumblebee (+ mentors) comic that im picking away at and may or may not finish

#line art just isnt fun rn and painting/lineless is a lot more work to figure out so it's just not happening rn #spose i could just clean the sketches and colour it but it's fun to have polished work sometimes :\ #ah well c'est la vie or whatever #i should do some studies. that usually helps with art slumps #bumblebee gets 3 dads bc i said so #bumblebee #deadlock #ratchet #my art #image described

Show us pictures of what styles of bathing suit you think the girls would wear to the beach together!

you have found my achilles heel because fashion is Something I'm Bad At. but i shall try!

dawn probably wears a simple swim dress. probably something black or blue in colour, something like this. nothing fancy, just something simple

as for irida i'm just going to use art from an artist i really like, cause i do think it fits. original post here (they draw a lot of irida god bless)

it's cute! it's simple, it looks nice. feel like she'd maybe wear swim shorts instead, but either or, really

this has been Lillie Is Bad At Fashion thanks 4 checking in.

#clan inquiries #these answers are kinda simple but im just. really bad with this lmfao. #ah well. c'est la vie...
