#it makes me feel old lmfao

[moe-broey]

I've only read the first volume of Dungeon Meshi but I'm convinced Laios and Marcille are both autistic but two EXTREMELY different flavors of autism, so much so it enables autistic PVP (one sided, Laios is unaware, possibly due to the autism)

#dungeon meshi #LIKE. WITH LAIOS it feels like a v obvious conclusion to come to hc wise but marcille....... #i vaguely know there's some stuff going on where i can guess at a few things (absorbed through osmosis) (as little spoilers as possible) #but to me she is so tryhard autism coded. getting frustrated w herself when she's slower/can't keep up w her peers/friends #physically limited. feeling the need to prove herself/scared of weighing down her allies. needs to do things 'by the books'. #stubborn streak. can accidentally say offensive things due to bluntness/overcompensation becoming an ego #she's even a picky eater. #meanwhile laios said 'hyperfixating isn't enough i need to eat it' and he fucking meant it. #honestly you could probably make an argument for any of them (main cast) being autistic. as with an hcs in general LMFAO #so much love for senshi as well. epitome of being an older dude w a niche interest and seeing an autistic young man #and going 'yeah okay. i can take you under my wing.' #all of this is so real and HAS happened to me (even being plucked up by an old man who noticed my aimless demeanor and put me to work)

How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok

Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!

I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^

if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out

Its more like. Idk.

I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.

I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿

#anonymous #skunk mail #its like how i do enjoy jjba but id never wear merch out bc what if some fandom poisoned man makes a kakyoin doughnut #joke to me. which happened in college when any mention of it came up #or like how. (insane evil hater mode) when i see people really into BNHA or SNK still im like 😬 #can u imagine if those were somehow your favorite series' in the past and now someone who doesnt even go there feels weird about it For You #when you mention it being your fave. LMFAO. i recognize that'll happen regardless due to ppls tastes but ykwim!!! fandom poison!! #the subreddit has already started with unfunny memes 😭 #AND already started with ''um but my shipping??? my Het shipping why no het people shipping?? why no het Canon ship??'' #ok this is the other hater part that sounds like the ''im gatekeeping this thing thats already popular 😡'' crowd #and im already sorry for the wording im gonna use but you KNOWWWWW the type. #i need it to not ever be on the list of anime that harry potter GOT loving normies my age list as their fave 😭😭😭 #SORRY. this is why i cant interact with jjba bc i know my harry potter loving old friend's husband loves it #or like how my friends boyfriend balks at any mention of ''gay shit'' in it. YKWIMMMM. DONT LET IT GET THIS COMMON #we cant let it get to ''i love marvel movies disney harry potter GOT and [ANIME]!'' status 😭 SORRY. #I need it to get so popular they release a thistle figure im already saving for just in case. But not marvel funko pop lover popular. 😭

Hey, hope you're doing well! Had a couple questions for you if they're not too personal:

1. Whats your favourite story you've written so far? Is it something public? Is it finished?

2. Do you have any long form non-interactive fiction you've written that's available to read? I would genuinely kill to read something like that from you

hi :-) ohh these are fun...

my favorite story is probably My NovelTM which isn't finished yet, i've written a first draft and now it's just been languishing until i can find the motivation to start a second draft. i finished the first draft in august i think, and started editing it pretty heavily before i realized i was just going to have to rewrite the whole thing again. i'm mostly having trouble with the ending, which always seems to be my problem lmfao... anyways it follows the relationship of Angel and Valerie, after Valerie has been missing for a few months and suddenly returns as a vampire with no memory of Angel or what happened over the months while she was away. it alternates between both their povs in both present day and through flashbacks.

so unfortunately for your second question, no, but i do hope to publish Angel and Valerie's story one day, either traditionally through a small press (lol here's hoping) or by self-publishing it. otherwise my only published work is what's available on my itch.io (siren's call, one day hike, etc)

i am working on a short story for vampire jam, which i'll hopefully be sharing next month. it's still in the form of interactive fiction, published in twine, but it's more of a short story than anything like blood choke or tnp. i also have a butch cowboys and zombies story i've been working on for a while, but i'm not sure when i'll get around to finishing it since it's not a priority project.

i do want to write another novel as well, a very old story i've been kicking around for years, but as usual i haven't been able to come up with an ending for it... but maybe one day.

#one thing that amazes me abt published authors is just. the way they churn out books #how do they have so many ideas.... esp when their stories are so varied #i feel like my work is very one note lmfao one day hike & blood choke & hell's holler& even my vampjamp story& the cowboy story #are all very similar. it makes me feel self conscious tbh like im just writing the same thing over and over #but whatever it's what i need to write rn to keep myself sane even if it's all jsut sad lesbians LOL #i tell myself it's helping me refine the narrative i want to perfect in hell's holler (the novel) #idk i would like to write something more happy eventually #like i want to write a YA book. everyone brace yourselves but i want to write a historical fiction during the early 2000s/2010s #it sounds silly to call it historical fiction but like. it would be #around when gay marriage was legalized in the US & the lead up to it #as well as political/cultural attitudes in the US during that time post 9/11. through a high schooler's perspective #think something like the old american girl doll stories when they were actually historical and educational rather than nostalgia bait #yes i AM bitter about the 90s twins why do you ask #anyways. yeah 👍 #ask #sproongoose

sorry for the wall of text ilysm tho

i spent the whole day grinning like a fool at my phone and laptop like y'all are insane (complimentary) for today. from the tumblr engagement to the tweets to the discord messages and the new friends i can feel myself making (y'all are just so easy to love!!!!!! I'm going to weasel my way in and you can't stop me!!!)...really just feeling exceptionally happy and eternally grateful for good people and great writing and awesome communities. i was crying in the club answering my ao3 comments (the comments are a feast for my brain worms. they are rejoicing and twirling).

my main goal in life is to spread a little joy and gratitude, it's always been my north star. i believe in telling people how good they make you feel when they make you feel it! what use is it to hold yourself back when someone brings you happiness and light through their words or actions or creations?

being on the other side of it feels incredibly surreal and folks are just so motivating and helpful and ahhhhhhh. hopefully when I'm no longer shadowbanned for having too much fun on this hellsite, i can interact with everyone normally again and have functioning asks and messages and replies and then i can continue carrying out my menace agenda.

xoxo, ruth

#am i SILENT or SILENCED...tumblr support decides #i love y'all #hello new friends #hello old friends #welcome :) :) :) #my post #sorry my period is ruining my life and also making me feel completely bonkers so I'm just all over the place emotionally LMFAO

one of my Complexes is that I was raised an only child by gen x'ers who were both young, one of whom acted like a sibling, and both whom raised me like they were raised & on the media they were raised on & we were poor enough that I also got the "latchkey kid" complex most gen x'ers had so now when I'm hanging out with gen x, millennials, and gen z (my actual generation) at least 75% of the time I relate more to the gen x'ers like 🧍‍♂️

#I just think it's really funny #my parents accidentally raising a sibling instead of a child makes me feel 50 at 24 #the Amount of times when it's me and a 50 year old making the same references and my peers like. I do not know what you're saying to me #or I'll wind up translating between the two lmfao #and w millennials all my siblings are millennials so I Get Them #meanwhile my own generation I'm just..... we baffle me

the "I already bought tickets to go see Indy again next week" moodboard

#actually factually finalized the purchase it's happening same seats and everything lmfao #I am being very irritating abt this I'm not sorry I had so much fun today and I loved this movie to bits #and I'm so happy this is how we as fans get to close Indy's adventures like. #it didn't just feel like half-hearted fan service bullshit it was really well done which I'll be honest #I was not expecting. there are def call backs of course to the previous films #but it didn't feel like heavy handed or cheap #they really did a good job of like. making it feel authentic like. not just a shitty rehash idk for me #it felt like. so appropriate. like he's an old man now. time has passed. they don't just like wallpaper over that #it just has idk so much heart. like the old og movies it's fantastical but there's so much heart #idk I really liked it. it felt like watching the old ones. the old ones had so much heart. that's why you loved indy! #he was a smart ass but he was earnest too and he had heart and he cared and like ahhhhhhhhhh!!! #it's just. idk idk idk I feel like it's such a great close to the adventures for massive Indy nerds like myself #lmao I asked my mom tonight like when was the last time you watched any of the movies #cause you mught wanna rewatch before we go #and she was like well it has been a while cause you don't live here anymore #and I was like I know. I'm never like six months removed from the last time I watched an Indy #and she was like I know it's your religion I know #I just. I loved it. a lot. I really did. as a massive Indy nerd I really did just enjoy it a lot. more than kotcs #but I firmly believe w/o kotcs it wouldn't have been so fuckin good like omg #erin explains it all

oh wow very upset right now lol

#finally had the energy and courage to call my therapists office to set up an appointment after 2 years #after emailing w mt old therapist to make sure it was ok #and they just. told me no #and i got so overwhelmed bc that’s not how i thought the phone call would go #which btw #i haye phone calls. they make me so anxious i feel sick. #so even calling and not hanging up when i got the robot answering machine or was on hold twice was good for me #anyways #i got so upset i was in complete silence after she said no #that when she asked if i wanted to set one up w someone else i just went i’ll call back later #and said goodbye and hung up #and just burst into tears #bc fuck! fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!! #if i had jsut not stopped going and i had taken my meds and i wasn’t a fuck uo i’d be fine i wouldn’t even need to make an appointment #ugh. #ok. #whatever i’m fine #rant over sorry if u read this LMFAO

i think i gotta pl;ay fallout 4 ..

#YAPPING this morninh #i tried watching the show i DIDNT LIKE IT. i would rather play the games #in middle school i tried fallout3 but i never felt incentivized to explore the world after getting out of the vault . #i think beth esda games are just like that though idk. ive been playing wolfing stein 2 (2017) and it feels like. beth esda uncharted #i think its just bc its an action adventure and you have like a little team and so far it hasnt been open world the way it was advertised #but ive been getting into the lore of the world in falloiut and im really enjoying it so maybe my game tastes have changed idk its worth a #shot :D i watched this video abt ghoul being an embodiment of the mythologized wild west genre in american pop culture history and how #pervasive a fantasy like that is. the continuation of manifest destiny and rooted in white supremacy yk. but also through the fallout lens #of 'Look at this idealized nuclear family/ american dream and look who it excludes look how it fails' and its really making me wanna try #playing again. i think one of my biggest flaws that i hate is that i cannot tolerate playing old games that are ugly in retrospect .... i #just cant.... i cant play the first red dead its too ugly im sorry... but i WILL research the lore and stuff #anyway thats why i think ill try 4. im just worried i wont like it bc you know.. i like platform action adventures.. not corny shit like #uncharted but idk maybe its an antiquated way of designing games but i like levels i like being given a campaign. i think my favorite way a #game works is like the way red dead does it. the story progresses but you can also explore on your own time. and the world changes as the #story progresses. idk i think i just maybe am not the target audience for any bethesda game LMFAO. anyway if anyone wants to give some #wise words regarding this Advice opinions etc feel free to send asks leave replies dm me :D

if your read on the weapon is that she’s the chief’s new girlfriend then im taking you back to high school level english class so you can revisit your critical thinking skills

#txt #this isn’t exclusive to fans but also like. @343i. #1) people only say that bc shes a copy of cortana not bc theres any chemistry literally at all #2) look at the ‘cortana is replaced w a non mentally ill and younger/naive version of herself’ and tell me thats not gross #3) pairing said young naive copy with her predecessor’s forty whatever year old former best friend…????? #literally how does any of it make sense to people. its not even funny as a joke… #every day i hope this is not the direction 343i is going in for the weapon and every day it seems that that is. actually what theyll do #it just feels so gross on so many levels LOL #im just trying to brace for impact at this point #like yeah to bad we completely fucked over this established fan favorite for a moment of shock value. now how do we dredge the emotional #impact of this franchise which is founded in that characters relationship w the protagonist #oh yeah lets copy her and make her younger and less complicated. that’ll work. LMFAO #AUGHGJJFJSMAM

"people have got to learn the difference between i liked it and it was good" how about. people should just learn to understand why they like something and what they liked about it. and often that will lead to you saying "oh actually it WAS good. and here's why". or vice versa, if you understand why you dislike something you can say "it WAS bad and heres why". and bc those are opinions theres no objective or technical way to judge art as good or bad. you can say the lighting or editing or music is bad but like. someone somewhere is gonna disagree with you babe. are they wrong?? what if i thought the hunger games used the appropriate amount of shaky cam. then what.

#gonna write a post about why spirited away is a bad movie just to prove a point #if you have an unpopular opinion you could always simply back it up with an explanation if you want to argue about it so badly #it's cheesy it's boring it's pretentious it's problematic #it's unfunny it's not clever they're unlikable the messaging is awful #it's fun! it's funny! it's warm! i thought the characters felt real! #the story was compelling the editing was impressive the music was beautiful the cinematography was gorgeous #you can also just say you dont like something and it was bad with no follow up #i just did that with spirited away and i KNOW my reasoning is sound and im atraight up not going to explain bc i know someone will kill me! #anyway this is the one billionth time ive seen that post on my dash and its like #every time i feel the need to explain what an opinion is like im talking to a bunch of six year olds #would argue as well theres a difference between i LIKED it and i ENJOYED it. like newsflash people have complex feelings abt art #also. additionally. i think the way something makes you feel is reason enough to call it good or bad. #art is a conversation between the audience and the artist and sometimes even the most compelling smart cool badass convo topic #will make one of the people go ''i think that guy's an asshole'' and like. thats valid ig #theres no objectively good or bad conversation theres just. different conversations and different people to have them #lastly. im just kidding abt spirited away dont send me asks abt it LMFAO
