[theloveinc]

hmm

#ok ive been thinking about it bc it was itching at me and i guess what feels weird is like... #i think everyone wants interaction . big blogs AND small blogs and everyone in between #even if they don't write regularly #so to ignore the kind words of ur anons trying to reassure u ... AND misunderstanding their points? just feels super nazsty to me #people leaving tumblr also means fans leaving tumblr too ??? #quote unquote fans #esp since like. why are u blaming ur followers for this? people SHOULD interact w/ everyone but no one is really at fault for #talking to their fave ppl and not to u #PLUS there are way more polite ways to ask than 'i miss doing this!!! ppl don't want me except for content' #idk. u voluntarily write content? #so u should expect a mix of responses to it vs. like the automatic assumption that u want to be told random stuff so u can respond to it #idkkkkkkkk #just felt like she was saying: #'i want ppl to interact with me bc i like it... and not bc ppl actually want to interact with me' #and maybe i justsay this bc im unfamiliar with one place #but... #ur in the stranger things fandom so it might not work the same as the anime fandom #dunnnnnnooooooooooooooo #i think WE ALL work hard for more personal interaction but it takes time #i was also gonna say........ hmmmm #i cant remember but ill come back and edit this if i do #OH it was something like... also if u cant support other writers too / sustain interaction w/ them................ #what are u really asking for? it's not like the message is making the community better #it's just making ur situation better when ur in a very specific niche #caitie blabs

I'm continuing my DAO replay and like....... are we just not going to talk about the fact that Anora's handmaiden is Orlesian?

I'm sorry, how did the Queen of Fereldan end up with an Orlesian handmaid? Did Loghain approve of that? Because I bet he sure didn't! Given everything about him, I bet he threw a real stink about that! And yet, Erlina is close enough to Anora to beg the wardens to save her after she's locked up by Howe, appearing entirely loyal to her.

So I broke out the World of Thedas vol2 to see if it said something in there about her and I couldn't find anything. All the wiki has to say is, "Erlina is the handmaiden of Queen Anora. Not much is known about her background but she apparently escaped from Orlais. Arl Eamon suspects that she is more than a simple servant."

Gee, ya think, Eamon?

I just find that to be a very interesting detail, one that has my theorist gears cranking and spinning.

#dao #dragon age origins #anora mac tir #dao anora #loghain mac tir #dao loghain #cailan was talking with celene and anora has an orlesian handmaiden... they're probably not connected #but that's not gonna stop me from attempting to connect them... something's weird okay i can sense it #also erlina “escaped”? i need to go finish this quest so i can talk to her properly and see exactly what she says #since maybe she gives a reason... but then again if she did then wouldn't the wiki say something...? #like i can think of a dozen reasons why an elven woman would want to escape orlais but how did she end up as the queen's handmaid? hmmmm... #y'all something's up and i don't know what it is #pi and i were talking about this the other night while theorizing if anora had her own plans to get rid of cailan and like...... #i'm not saying anora was definitely scheming to get cailan booted off the throne so she could rule alone only for loghain to swoop in #and steal her thunder...... BUT I have suspicions and she *is* loghain's daughter after all... just saying #i don't doubt that anora loved cailan at one point but remember loghain loved him too.... and how did that work out?

[asymmetricboys]

am i the only writer who does not find comments of “please continue!!” or “we need another chapter!!” to be a compliment on a fanfic and lowkey find them deeply grating instead

like how do i make it clear in my author notes at the start that i don’t write serialized things, i am writing a complete story where the word count is the fucking word count and the chapter count is the FUCKING CHAPTER COUNT, and warn people i get insulted if they ask for more... like it feels like im a chef who made a perfectly portioned meal designed to be the exact correct balance and serving of those ingredients and then someone loudly tells me (usually without even actually complimenting the food first) that I should bring them seconds. and im just standing there like the chef in that murdering chef movie like ‘if u question my fucking JUDGEMENT ON LENGTH u question me as an artist’???

i for real for real 100 per cent know it is not that deep but i cannot help it, my brain goes ‘u think i don’t know when THE END of my own story is???’

like unless i explicitly state in the final author notes that i am thinking about writing an epilogue or a sequel, i just straight up don’t want to see people asking for more. like i KNOW you’re trying to give me a compliment, but please just learn how to tell me something you actually liked about the thousands of words i ALREADY WROTE, i am looking for a crumb of validation here!!!

i understand that there are loads of fic writers who genuinely write more or less of a story based on the demand, because their writing flow IS that they like writing a serialized piece and they can expand forever on the concept until they decide they would like to wrap it up -- but that is not me and i guess i just need to be blunter in my author notes and be like ‘THERE WILL BE NO CONTINUATION’ like if that’s the only kind of comment you know how to leave, just say ‘looking forward to reading the next thing you write!!’ and we’re chill!!

anyway i’m never ever posting a story in more than one chapter ever again, it’s oneshots only for me babe, the commenters know how to ACT in those comment sections

#there's a read more because i KNOOOOOOW im being a bitch lol #only click that if ur also a salty perfectionist who gets insulted too easily #sometimes i just want to be an ASSHOOLLLEEEE and that's what a personal blog is for lol #ace babbles #also to be clear.....if someone leaves a detailed comment on a fic and then also adds 'if you wrote anything else in this verse i would #absolutely read it in a second!' #that person is 100 per cent valid and that's a lovely comment #i'm mostly talking about people who say nothing about the fic and then go 'you need to write more chapters pleeeeaasse' #like do you have any FUCKING manners you're not 8 years old you can give a bitch a compliment before you ask her a favour first at least #like it's not gonna work im not going to write more of a story that is already done but i will see the request as a compliment #instead of a rude comment #if it is at least swaddled in a demonstration of genuine appreciation for the fic that shows you actually read the words #it just.....i know im being irrational #but it just feels like i sculpted something out of a piece of wood and then someone looked at it and went 'hmmmm...can you make it taller' #like????? no i fucking can't i'm out of wood??? do you not know how sculpting works??? #and they're like 'oh i saw that dude's clay sculpture and he keeps making it taller' #and im like 'THEY'RE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCULPTURES MY GUY' #sorry yall it's just i miss the 5sos fandom yall left great comments from my recollection #and i recently posted a two chapter thing in a newer fandom and im swamped with the most disappointing three word comments #just demanding more #blah

[shiroselia]

I take back my earlier statement

*Everyone* except Hijiyama has something very cishet going on

#I do also think Yuki's pretty not straight but I think your mileage varies on that one depending on how you read her #Okino however there is no varies #I have still not gone post-prologue for Hiji but after being locked at 85 for Iori and 75 I think for Ryoko in combination with 55 Juro #I think I can confidently say this game is mega cishet #It's fucking hilarious tho it's very dumb and very fun #So like it's not a problem I just think it's funny how this game just goes balls to the walls on the romance subplots #13 sentinels #13 sentinels: aegis rim #I'm not sure how spoilery this is but might as well #Also tbf I have Barely gone thru half the protags yet I've been trying to go completionist as far as I can per protag #So this is leaning VERY heavy on what's going on with primarily Ryoko Juro and Iori #So it might genuinely just be confirmation bias lmfao #Still a bit Hmmmm on how they're gonna handle Okino's whole deal but tbh just based on what little I've seen that guy's thriving

‘maria… i can’t believe you actually chose quaxly’ me neither

#i thought she was gonna say she also has a quaxly lol #but no she’s just saying it’s the perfect choice #is it now hmmmm i think you were gonna say that no matter what #but i appreciate you commending my decision nonetheless #you are being really nice to me right now are you going to betray me #are we gonna battle right now #hm #goldie’s pokémon violet liveblog

god okay i’ve been thinking abt this for a While but i read a fic recently that bothered me so much i just have to yell into the void for a bit. I’m struggling with articulating my thoughts so this is gonna be Very rambly.

so in so many modern day AUs, characters that are non-human but still FULLY SENTIENT often get turned into like. pets and stuff. a robot buddy becomes a cat, an alien becomes a dog, a talking animal becomes just a normal version of whatever animal they were. and it’s like. those are PEOPLE. that’s a fully sentient goddamn person. like, I get it, it’s cute, and a lot of the fanart, fanfic etc I see of this stuff is genuinely super well made and interesting and I don’t wanna like, cast aspersions on anyone who does this. but it bothers me. this invisible threshold of “human looking” you have to pass to be considered a person. you wouldn’t write a modern AU where spock is kirks normal non-sentient pet cat, not without it being a weird crack-fic, but I’ve seen so much art and fic of Chewbacca being Han Solos dog like he’s not a full guy. the man is forklift certified goddamnit. but he looks inhuman and speaks a different language and so he can’t pass the Threshold. and the same thing goes doubly for droids/robots of different kinds. the more inhuman a robot looks, the more likely they become a pet in a modern au, regardless of level of sentience. and especially if a character is a talking animal, they get the “animal treatment” in AUs and idk. it feels. Bad. especially bc so much fanfic is about a ragtag team of outcasts coming together to find home and family in each other. but I guess their robot friend struggling against the dehumanizing treatment they get from the society around them doesn’t count haha. like, here’s these sad outcasts becoming family, and also their fucking??? dog?? who I guess isn’t a person anymore and never was bc they’re just a pet to be owned now. and GOD I just want to cry I guess bc especially when you relate a lot to non-human characters and their struggles with being seen as a person, which is often a serious and core part of their character arc, seeing them then get fully erased from the narrative and turned into just a cute lil kitty hurts. and idk, I just think there’s a lot to be examined here abt fandoms treatment of non-human characters in general and the idea of personhood and I think it’s something that should be talked about I guess. idk

#sorry i know no one’s gonna see this but I simply have to Yell #i have a lot of feelings regarding fandom treatment of nonhuman characters #and not just in the ‘dehumanization’ sense but also in the infantilization and general othering of them #like idk the way people treated nott/veth from cr2 pre-reveal was very hmmmm strange to say the least #she was a fully adult woman and had said as such multiple times and yet both the fandom and to some extent the party as well treated her #like a kid #she was so often just. excluded from polynein fic for no reason #like here’s everyone else in a relationship and also nott is there. i guess. #and that’s a whole Thing with nonhuman characters and romance. they just don’t get considered for it! #like im all for that aroace and enby rep w nonhumans hell yes give it to me but also. its very obvious and uncomy when its Only the #nonhumans this happens to #anyway this whole thing is bc i read a neveraftr fic in which pib was a regular cat and it Bothered me #bc it was genuinely really well written and very good and raw and fascinating #but it had this whole ‘ragtag outcast found family personal growth’ vibe going but then one of the main PCs was just. the local stray cat. #and it was so GOOD though but ughhhhh #like the 6ft frog and the werewolf and the puppet get to be humans. the talking cat? nah #and ive seen this in other ‘modern human’ nevraftrr fanarts as well and blehhh idk idk i cant articulate it but like. thats a full person #rambles #long post

i’m so sorry but if you watch stranger things and you actually actually for real genuinely think that the duffer brothers have been secretly dropping hints that Mike is bi and actually always loved Will... get help.

#cool if you ship it! #i think its cute in theory! #but if youre gonna sit here and try and say 'look its REAL! they did this on PURPOSE!' #you're going to realize sooner or later that these cishet tv and movie creators are not on our side. theyre not dropping little hints. #and also a ship doesnt have to be canon for you to really like it! #idk i just. with how obvious it is that they never intended to make Will gay until season 4 #(and if you dont believe me just go read the interviews where they explicitly STATE THIS...) #(like cmon. they were just gonna leave him ambiguously without a girlfriend for the entire series until maya hawke convinced them to make #robin gay and then once that was actually successful they were like 'hmmmm maaaaybe we should make will gay for real too! yeah!' #so like THAT whole shit show is one thing. but then youre gonna look me in the eyes and try to convince me that theyve always intended for #Mike to be gay or bi too? AND that they intended for him to have a crush on Will? #these writers literally do not think that far outside the box when it comes to societal convention. #i dont know what on earth makes you think they would. #so have fun with your ship! really! #it just personally irritates me to see long-ass meta posts on my dash trying to 'prove' things that don't need to be proven. #mine #just some thoughts

current small detail i am obsessing over: thief king’s rings (that i somehow had never really noticed until recently >_<)

#like wow… nice hands you got there… would suck if someone were to try to hold them or something /s #no I’m currently fixating on the fact that he isn’t wearing anything on his ring finger #and like. very complicated thought process but of course my brain goes to the idea of marriage because have you *met* me. #like i still have a few years of schooling left and then i have college and stuff to worry about #marriage can come later because if i’m gonna tie the knot or whatever even with a fictional character i want it to be serious and genuine #but also. just. here i go again being like ‘these characters are different from the other ones i’ve been attached to’ #(and they definitely are someway somehow. i don’t know what it is about card games but they’ve changed everything apparently) #because?? honestly??? i didn’t really care much for the idea of marriage. like i was completely chill with the idea of just dating someone- #-and leaving it at that. there wasn’t really anything ‘special’ about marriage to me when i was already satisfied with how things were #it felt more like a hassle than anything lol #but now it’s like… i don’t know. i feel different about it?? like i actually kind of want to get around to that at some point?? #i’m not really sure how to explain it #i won’t say it’s the ‘we are now together by law’ only because my f/os are prone to breaking the law (and/or regulations in general) #i just. hmmmm. #maybe it’s for the same reason i didn’t really care about it in the first place #we get to spend the rest of our lives together regardless. so what does it matter if we keep things as they are now- #-or take it to the next level?? #i really shouldn’t be worrying about this since again i have a good few years before i need to think about this #but. uh. yeah ignore me #anyway i think the rings look neat #i think most of the things he wears are actually neat if not a little nonfunctional #ex: those weird like?? ring things on his legs??? what even are those #pretty sure those are only shown like once so i guess it doesn’t matter but xP #anyway hi i’m half awake but i’m still vibing #rainy.file #a thief after my own heart

(guy who doesn’t know as much about music as he pretends trying to describe music) it’s like,,, it very very distantly reminds me of classical indian in the beginning but later on it’s bartók esque? in terms of the rhythmic patterns anyway, not so much the instrumentation. then the other one has the same kinda stingy synth as in war of the worlds, but it’s like somewhat reminiscent of the court of the crimson king i guess? there’s a clear 4/4 beat which is interesting given the chaos, it’s very much not major or minor or even modal arguably. there’s that noise that’s in t he creativity song in dhmis !!

#gonna stop before i’m just liveblogging what music i am listening to #it’s fred frith i dunno something said it was like avante garde but this next one is much more chill jazzy ish (for now) #how will the people judge me for this is the question. if i put some bartók on what will they say #anyway yeah music music i like it #ezra likes music #see ?!!! music music #yeah i need to like mitosis so i can listen to more music at once without it being at once #anyway right all that work i have to do hhhhhhhggghhhhghhhh #ezra’s real life rambles #maybe i turn the ghost mode thing on so i stop thinking about this so much hmmmm #but also i want to share my discoveries but also do i??? hands of the juggler just came on the radio and i was enticed and now here i am

I feel like I am going BONKERS, rn like I know Twitter is the website ever but like ??????

#ramblez #idk when telling ppl they said smth that came across as mean or harsh became known as a personal accusation of that person being mean #but man I did not yknow catch up on that understanding! #just like hmmmm #I am so tired of ppl telling me to chill out even when I am trying to in very calm very passive words explain my reasoning #and its like 10x worse when I am agreeing with the persons main point but dont like how they worded it #and they take it as an attack on the correct point they were making instead of a simple mistake of wording that can easily be fixed #+10 points if they double down on said wording and then later say it was bc they are neurodivergent #like my man maybe ur autism does cause u to come accross as harsh sometimes thats okay #but when somebody tells you youre coming accross as harsh ur autism does not make u double down instantly and get angry #and also its like maybe I sound insane? #but if u gonna defend ur take as objective critisism it has to be something u can like objectively prove! #and if u then end off the thread stating it was just ur opinion and trying to spin it all to make me look like I had a fit bc I disagreed? #thats super weird? #and also in general u should be very careful when mixing objective facts with ur opinions or speculation #u need to put disclaimers or have smth that clearly shows whats meant to be taken objectively and whats an opinion u have #otherwise it can get confusing esp if anyone yknow takes ur word as fact bc its surrounded by actually provable stuff! #and I mean Im ignoring the part where the number one way they doubled down was by saying it was objective critisism when it wasnt KJDFHGKJD #just #ugh #tiring #one of these days Ill grow strong enough to delete twitter bc nothing good ever comes of it

Finished good omens season 2 and I’m just gonna sit here peacefully for a minute because oh god. Oh no. The discourse

#my personal opinion? i had a great time but then they kinda hit me with a truck there #im stunned frankly. no words #if i had to give an opinion rn id say hmmmm not a bad ending per se but like #the only way it works is if they make a season 3 and i just ughh #kinda wanted this season to be the end of it :/ #i mean clearly the first season was supposed to be the end of their story but they scraped together season 2 #and while i sure had fun its clear that story wise it was bare bones #so if they drag out a third season you know its gonna be rough #and i knew going into s2 that it wasnt gonna have much meat to the plot it was just gonna be shenanigans and i was happy with that! #but now its like great. the tacked on fun bonus bit now has to be unsatisfying grrrr #if an ending like that came with a different kind of season id be like OMG WHATS GONNA HAPPEN #but with it here im like. damn it come on 😔 #oh and its weird that aziraphale still wants all that heaven shit after everything thats happened #i get it but also eh #anyway poor crowley :(

[cinnamonrollwizard]

and on this beautiful friday morning i am just sitting here thinking about that last fight we had in netherdeep campaign where i went second in initiative - ran all the way in front of our druid to make sure she didnt get too hurt cause shes squishy- placed mysel between her and the big scary monster-... and immediately got fucking swallowed head in fucking hands

#to be fair #if our druid would have gotten swollowed #she would most likely been dead by now #and she wouldnt have been able to spend the fight healing others like she was able too cause i did a cute lil sacrifice #but also im coming back to that fight with 12 hp and only half a plan so i mean #and the fact that im not even the worst off in our group #and someone actually nat20ed their death save once to act as meat shield #lots have gone wrong but theres also been some improbably feats in there too #and all of us are very cute like saying we wouldnt leave eachother to die and stuff #if we all get out were all gonna do some fucking bonding #hmmmm i get the feeling someones gonna have to be revived but if thats all we have to do then thats fine #both our cleric and druid can rev so we just gotta get the bodies and them out and run #as you can see i like to talk myself thru my stress cause if i dont? i will spiral
