Back on my Last Wish BS

Look at these two shots from Last Wish:

In this one, Puss and Kitty are still on the outs. They're falling in regular speed, and with, y'know, the general air of panic that one might have if falling from a height. They're also on opposite ends of the map from each other.

In the second shot, Puss and Kitty have already started the process of getting back together. They're falling in slow motion, lost in each other's eyes and smiling, and they're holding on to the middle of the map together.

I love this movie.

#the way these shots mirror each other is so pretty #there are a lot of mirrored moments throughout the movie to emphasize the growth of the characters tbh #I adore it #it's incredibly clever #and it's catnip (lol) for people like me who enjoy thinking about that kind of stuff #puss in boots #kitty softpaws #puss in boots the last wish #the last wish #puss x kitty #kitty x puss #pusspaws #I mean come on his name is awful for portmanteauing #just terrible #but these cats are literally the cutest together so I can forgive it #martianbugsbunny ships

idk but saying jennifer lynn barnes sucks at writing romance because your ship wasn't canon is beyond hilarious to me like okay???? HAHHAHAHA. everyone has their own preferences of course but the vehement hatred for jlb and the belittlement of her writing on booktok and bookstagram (sometimes on here) has been ASTOUNDING.

a note about the "poorly done romance/love triangle" in tig: jlb never said it was going to be "even". no one ever said that. personally pioneering the idea that one character was "not given a chance" does not make it a poorly written love triangle or a poorly written romance. in love triangles, there is usually ALWAYS one option who is simply NOT a real option. look me in the eye and tell me characters jeremiah fisher, aspen in the selection series, gale hawthorne, adam kent, jacob black, and i'm sorry but grayson hawthorne amongst a myriad of others were actual contenders for the main character. if you believed they are/wanted them to be, that's great! but all of these characters are in well known love triangles and at the end of the day, books with love triangles WILL sell because they generate conversation and hype around the book. it is a marketing tactic and you are NEVER promised equal opportunity from both love interests. you losing the love triangle or that you believe there is wasted potential doesn't mean bad writing has occurred. also, for the love of god, while you are supposed to relate to a character, you are not the main character!! belly, america, katniss, juliette, avery, what have you, all chose based on who they are as characters. and also, female characters don't have to "experience" both love interests to make a decision. if they want to, that's totally fine, but specifically about avery bc this is what this blog is all about, she absolutely knows what she's "missing out" on with grayson and she doesn't care. shipping averygrayson just blatantly feels like ignoring avery's wants and needs.

anyway, if you want to call jlb's writing poorly done bc you didn't get your way, that's totally fine. you are entitled to your own opinion. it's just funny that you say that bc had grayson and avery been randomly thrown together in the epilogue of tfg or something, i have a feeling you wouldn't be of this opinion.

tldr; love triangles are a marketing tactic and you are neither entitled to a win nor is is poorly done/executed if you lose. love triangles, more often than not, have a clear winner from the beginning (coughcough "see? you're already his") but the debate and drama of another character sells the book.

#the inheritance games #oh god the love triangle discourse is so tiring does it not get OLD???? #averyjameson #avery grambs #avery kylie grambs #jennifer lynn barnes #been a while since i went on a rant #tig #if you disagree idrc bc im not trying to convince you that you can't think something is poorly written #averygrayson #anyway! miss you guys #can't wait for the brothers hawthorne!!!! #i think she's a genius romance writer bc im rr tig and she sprinkles in these moments from the very beginning and wow #she has such a big brain #god booktok is annoying and the comments on jlb's insta posts are so?????? #like imagine the amount of “how dare you not make ag endgame” comments she's gotten (by the same people every post but still) is so weird #“how are you” “what were you thinking” “it was a love triangle and grayson was the right option i'm not reading you books anymore” LOL #or “how are you not let gray be endgame/have avery/be happy” hm avery isn't a prize and gray doesn't let himself be happy hope that helps! #i thought the sad/chronically unhappy thing was y'all's brand for him but suddenly when he doesn't flip a switch and be :D y'all hate it?? #him forgiving himself at the end and letting himself feel was HUGE like ?? ive digressed but tell me you dont understand him w/o telling me

I’m delighted to share my Harper sisters piece for @relentlesszine!  Though Deborah’s appearance is brief, their story and relationship has always hit me deep as someone who is very tight knit with their siblings. So I wanted to capture all those feelings in this page. Eagerly awaiting the day they bring Helena back ;_;

Love that I'm slowly convincing all of my markiplier followers to watch ghosts with my silly crossover art

#atlas speaks #to be fair. watching ghosts is always the correct answer #it fucks. #also i feel like it's a good fit for markiplier lore fans cause it is similarly a silly as hell piece of comedy media on the surface #with occasional moments of extreme emotional rawness. insane but subtle horror surrounding death and life after death. #and really good character moments. #also it is often also a narritive about forgiveness #as mark is also keen to include in many of his works #so anyways i guess this is a propaganda post. go watch bbc ghosts. especially if you're one of my markiplier followers #in which case go watch ghosts and then come back and be insane about this crossover with me lol #also if you're not exactly sure where to watch the show may i suggest checking the blog @ patcaps #there may or may not be a useful google drive link for you there in their pinned post :]

Something I wrote the other night (Aug. 8, 2022)

#idk what to tag this as so uh popular mutuals i would kiss you on the mouth for an rb :) #i was thinking about the poetry and nuance of never being able to forgive someone for doing what they did to you yet #cherishing moments that comfort you. being abused/traumatized by someone who very much loves you is a tragedy in an of itself #especially from a parent. sorry for getting all introspective in the tags but it suddenly dawned on me at 3 a.m in the kitchen lol #🪆

[celenawrites]

I am back to writing again after a rough week, and damn, Simon in my fics is sure a freak.

(Also, 350 words after falling sick is not a bad start.)

#there's a lot of teasing #a lot of choking too #ahem #a lot of soft moments too #not me writing smut to soften the blow of the angst in this fic lmaooo #i hope y'all can forgive me once I am done with it lol #call of duty #simon ghost riley x reader x soap #char.simon ghost riley #char.soap #fic.late night drive #wip stuff #wip update #celena.rambles

me smiling serenely: i love house of leaves but i understand that its an incredibly difficult book to get into and is really, REALLY not for everyone, and johnny truant's... everything can make like half the book difficult to get through if you don't IMMEDIATELY click with his character

some complete stranger minding their business: house of leaves kinda sucks and johnny truant ruined the book. just skip his parts

me, crying screaming throwing up etc.: SHUT UP...... SHUT UP.............. LEAVE ME OLONE

#forgive me for not making the houses blue im on mobile. also to my other followers ill probly reblog stuff soon im just Thinking lol #at any moment i could start making annoying amounts of textposts about #house of leaves #if i so desired. this isnt anything new as far as my interests go tho lol #anyway the average critique i see of HoL on here is very reasonable (misogyny; shock content; a little full of itself) #but also ppl being like This Book Sucks. directly in the tag makes me a little insane #and also GENUINELY if you skip johnny's stuff you HAVENT read house of leaves youve only read the navidson record #the fuckeng... THEMES AND NARRATIVES ok....... #like yea im biased as an enjoyer of guys who suck spiralling forever and ever but like its more than tbat you know. #i cuold make a whole post abt trauma and the search for deeper meaning when theres only emptiness and how important johnny is to that theme #maybe i will make a post about that i dont know. #but anyway. sometimes a book isnt good or bad its an experience ok? #anyway these tags are getting too long i should shut up now. rip johnny you wouldve loved tumblr tags

i aam deep in dhurkedatz specifically thoughts today. Oh the them. oh the unspoken of it all. the unlabeled. we got a good thing going. of course this is my ... he's my. You know. well hes my right hand man of course. im the fangs o' the defiant dragon. but that doesnt explain it fully.. thats business. and their lives are almost entirely business but Not Quite. and beyond the revolution they escape description...thats his best friend. that's his datz..

dhurke loves amara like crazy his love for her never died at all ... datz isn't a replacement ... hes just his datz. you know? 20 years of partnership cant go away like that. theyre together. partners!! and rumors fly and theres jokes. call off your boyfriend! so whens the marriage? and theres shared looks and pitying looks and understanding looks and skeptical looks but no one Speaks on it.. its unspoken!! but its there. by god.

like i wouldnt dream of doing anything without you. or that dhurke knows when he gets reunited with his family once more, for real this time, datz is gonna be there. and amara isn't being replaced so shes not concerned at all lol shes like ... what ... and take away his datz? what kind of monster do you take me for :( Like she knows. and everyone KNOWS. thats just his datz. and thats his dhurke. and you cant seperate them its unethical its cruel and unusual punishment its not nice

All the small tiny things... the years of history in each others actions ... the energy and focus shifting between them without needing to ask. in a discussion fixing to break out into a fight datz defuses it. datz tense and uncomfortable outta his mind and dhurke spots the way he tugs at his scarf and makes an excuse for datz to leave early. he asks to be waken up in a few hours so they can trade ofd guard duty and datz says yeah but they both know he'll stay up the whole night just to let dhurke sleep longer (this i stole from such terrible tales bc that detail made me sick) Like Ugh Like i cant Like i just dont know

and its not that they dont want to label it but its just so...what would change really. dhurke knows datz loves him and datz knows dhurke loves him (though maybe some nights he really does need reassurance, and he gets in his head about it, and somehow- through ways datz doesn't have a clue how- dhurke can tell when datz is quiet from upset as opposed to another reason, and he'll take datz's hand and kiss his knuckles and Thank Him so deeply and earnestly that it burns out any negative thought datz has ever had in his life ... crazy.)

and hes the family friend and the sort of uncle and the right hand man and compatriot and everyone knows just by the way they lean against each other and speak in half finished sentences and answer questions that weren't fully asked ... reference jokes from years ago and diffuse each other and the way datz is obviously gloomy when dhurke is gone vs perks up when he comes back And the way dhurke is on edge and his leaderly dad warmth is slightly colder while datz is in prison like even when theyre not together you can tell the impact left on each others lives LIKE IM SICK FOR REAL

#girl who reads blackmadhi fic only to come away with terminal dhurkedatz worms. Sorry man #sorry yuty #i like your weird dad situation sorry man. forgive me ok? #Also my apologies to amara for sidelining her for my mlm ship. i still think she'd be cool with it though #like dhurke has enough love in his heart for two people. she can believe that easily #i think she teases datz but it doesnt quite work bc i think datz is way too convinced she's gonna oust him one day #i think datzs innate urge to leave things unlabeled and untied down and loose kind of bites him in the ass #i think if hes left alone for too long he gets way into his own head abt His Place in the family #smth which does not get better in a post soj canon #like he relishes it being something special tht defies a label but also hes like. #Could use the comfort of a stictly and unambiguously romantic label rn. Lol #but he wont ask for it. Bc thats crazy. so he has to survive off of a million unambiguously romantic moments instead #however will he make it... his poor soul (hes fine)

having a post make the tumblr rounds really will teach you all sorts of things about yourself that you never previously understood, lmao

like, okay, the notes on the 'masturbatory' post fall into a few distinct categories—plenty of reblogs without any comment at all, of course; a lot of people saying, somewhat tediously but unexceptionably, that in their view the term should really be a compliment; a lot of other people claiming that it's inappropriate to share art they personally deem unappealing, just as it's inappropriate to share unsolicited dick pics (i take strong exception to this argument but it's very popular!); and finally a few people who admit that sex-negative insults aren't really compatible with the sex-positive stance they otherwise nominally concede is correct, and who choose to resolve the issue by gleefully leaning into the inconsistency—like, there are some tags on that post that are just straight up like, 'i love hypocrisy :)'

and like, the 'unwanted dick pics'/'artists i don't want to see naked' camp drives me fucking batty, for sure, but i can at least respect that they're trying to come up with a unifying principle, even if i personally think what they've come up with is pernicious nonsense ('consent' is an idiotic lens through which to contemplate the problem of 'viewing art,' imo); but the people who just—outright reject the idea that they should have consistent values to which they adhere, and that where they encounter resistance in themselves to these values, they ought to interrogate what's motivating that resistance, and attempt to find a consistent throughline? really, really alienating and—frightening to me, if i'm honest!

#anyway yes a lot of this is what the block button is for and i've been using it #but i do think there's something interesting and also scary abt the psychology of this #like to me it's like. if you aren't willing to behave in accordance with your nominal values—there's something to interrogate there #like we all fall short of our values from time to time—i do it all the time! #we're traumatized or tired or haven't yet interrogated some expression or belief we picked up as children #so like. it's not the inconsistency that surprises and bothers me #it's the like. very *active* refusal to stop and think about it #because to me those moments of inconsistency are like. invitations to hammer out your self and your values a little better #and to find people just. actively crumpling up the invitation and tossing it aside with a sneering laugh? #frightening and alienating to me! #anyway this post is poorly structured because really the conclusion that ties back to the opening is that #i'd never previously articulated to myself that 'having consistent principles— #and working out how to *get* them consistent‚ when i find areas where they aren't yet‚ quite—' #was so deeply important to me but i'm realizing it really is! #like as i said i think we all suck at this sometimes and i get and forgive that in others as i get and forgive it in myself #but i really do need people to *care* about it! like. idk. the shining oriflamme may be ahead us and above us #but like. let's uphold it and not cast it down carelessly and trample it into the dirt under our feet‚ you know? #anyway. luv 2 be ancient and still deeply naive lol
