#its on my to read list as well

[intomybubble]

In relation to my last post, here’s some pages from Call the Name of the Night

Basically I like how the mangaka plays around with and makes use of negative space. It’s really interesting to look at digitally, and I want to see what it’s like in a physical book (I bought Vol 1 this morning).

It reminds me of the work by Kamatami Yuuki who wrote Shounen Note and Our Dreams at Dusk. But its most evident in their work Hiraeth which makes me so upset that that one is digital only (I ended up buying a physical JP copy)

#desiree talks #desiree reads #manga #i heard that witch hat atelier has similar art too #its on my to read list as well

Look at my self indulgent dishelved sewer rat-looking fursona for Jinx boy (they look better on most days but y'know)

Cutting this off now cuz I'm fairly sure I'll be adding more to this in a reblog later

They/them for this creation of mine for epik and deep lore purposes that I will not write out rn because if I commit to the bit it would end up being 4am with me having to go to school by 6

All the context you get for now is that since the reference image is from the last episode, my guy(gn) here is after one severe beating from Knux(Ekko)(<-reason why the tails look so beaten and you can't see it but one is missing, see; angst reasons) an arm length explosion from their own bomb(realized way too late that the bomb actually blew up on Jinx's right hand side, way too late as in, half of coloring finished already. well in my AU it happened on Nine's left hand side!!!) and a bunch of Dark Gaia juices(Shimmer)(<-will think about the technicalities of thisnkater) injected into them as an effort to keep them from dying

#sonic prime #prime arcane #<-the name Ill be using fornthis AU cuz trust me theres Thoughs on it alright #ive been sorting this thing out in my head since feb of last year #which is when I made..my firts attempts at drawing sonic characters #someone liked that post fairly very recently which. gud lord. I'll have to redraw all that at some point #girl what WRE YOU THINKINGGG #ahem anyway #you get one more breadcrumb of lore here since youre reading my tags for one reason or another #this is really just the sonic cast plus some very cherrypicked (new yoke) prime characters between them. or disguised as character arcs #aaaand is also an Eggman raise Tails but its Nine actually typa deal #more on that later #i still hadnt cleaned up all of it tho #like who tf to put in Jayces place my ass cannot think of someone to put there instead of his smug mug #ill make a list of the characters later #yea later I has to eep now #i said I will give only the bare essencials and here I am oh well- #miles nine prower #nine the fox #jinx #arcane jinx #crossover #mah art #me does arts #actually finished doodl

Do you listen to music? And if you do what artists/genres/songs do you like? ^w^

music! yeah! that sure is a thing i listen to! um. i like a lot of it <3

#dont ask me to list genres i Dont Know!!! #like if someone says 'do you like alt rock' like. ill nod but i have no idea what that entails! #with music i dont really pay attention to genre or anything? #if i hear something i like i add it to the playlist! its called Clusterfuck for a reason! #i have a bit of everything in it #and if you want me to list songs we'll be here all night! #i think i'd be happy to talk about it on stream this evening? very clumsily! im not well versed in music! #rambles from the bog #ALSO FOR EVERYONE READING #THIS ISNT AN INVITE TO EXPLAIN GENRES #IF I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW ID DO MY OWN RESEARCH #its simply none of my business! i dont need to know genres to enjoy music!

[dailyjasontodd]

why is wolfman in quotes? did he not actually write the ntt issues with jason?

according to him he doesn't remember writing Jason so it's like well, whoever wrote him did a good job I guess 🤷‍♀️

#what he said pissed me off badly so its like well i guess george perez wrote those issues 💋 #asks #its a joke but also not a joke. #and also in my reading lists sometimes i add little nods like that so when people copy them i know they're mine

[headphonemouse]

Usually I don't buy into self sacrifice in fiction because how much can one human life really be worth, when so many have been lost already? But the way that orv sets up Kim Dokja's self sacrifices, sure it has its own in universe reasons, but the reason it sold me on why those sacrifices were necessary and worked was that subjective feeling of equivalent exchange. He wanted to save his world (companions), so he sacrificed himself. This is fair payment because he exists as 'the world' to everyone else. Just. Jung Heewon confronting Anna Croft with "you want to save the world? I do too. He is the world I wish to save" (paraphrased) and Kim Dokja obtaining the story 'One Who is Loved by All' and Lee Sookyung shaving off years of her life for him before and during the scenarios and him becoming a protective and nurturing presence to his kids and showing Lee Hyunsung how to use his strength to protect justice and giving Yoo Joonghyuk hope and giving meaning to Han Sooyoung's writing and decades of waiting to meet him just by continuing to exist. There are so many other people that he means so much to and I'll never get over how beloved he is, before during and after the scenarios. The whole time! The whole time he has been loved. He isn't always able to see it but it's always been there. Meeting him is like being unable to imagine someone more worthy of love while at the same time thinking that he's not particularly remarkable. It's the way that he is cherished and returns that kindness that makes him incredible (The Little Prince and his conclusions about the uniqueness of his rose come to mind. It wasn't mentioned in ORV, but the Little Prince played a significant role in TWATF so I think some of those themes carry over to ORV because SingShong seem to really like that story)

#talking tag #orv spoilers #uoghhh #i need to get up in 3 hours. .. #read TWATF #i didnt like it but its important to understanding SingShong a bit more #the storyline is a lot more straightforward than orv so its like the singshong themes and cliches accelerated course #im rereading orv but i need to reread the little prince and twatf right fucking now #and also maybe brush up on murim tropes and learn some mythology and history and and and #there should be a required reading list for all the things that orv references goddamn #i was pitching this to my buddy the other day and i said something like 'orv should be understandable to anyone about high school level but #your reading experience will be enriched if you have a bunch of background knowledge of all these topics' #which i think is a really cool thing the authors did! they set out to write an accessible and gripping story and they landed it really well

You ever read a fanfic that stays in your head for years and you can never find it again?

#I want to know if it was as good as I remember #I think I was about 12 when I read it so < 8 years old #Okay let me describe it a little bit so that you can understand exactly WHY I need to find this and verify that my standards sucked #it was on Quotiv #big red flag right there #but i remember it being so well written and engaging! #and it was a TFP soundwave x OC #or reader maybe #but pretty sure OC #and the MC had alexandria's genesis #and her and soundwave both bonded over having purple eyes #there was like a whole scene in a cave or something and it was a really tender moment of him removing the visor and showing his face #at one point he asks her parents for permission to court their daughter #it was the first time I'd heard the word in that context #and i assumed it was a transformers thing #needless to say i was baffled when the parents immediately knew what the word meant without an explanation #this fic as well as one called Purple Heart and another called Its The Great Pumpkin Sam Witwiki shaped me as a person #I need a TFA fic and a g1 fic to blow me away so that I can add some variation to my list of fics that have put me on my ass with emotions

OKAYYYY IVE WATCHED THE NEW INVINCIBLE EPISODE NOW. the mark and amber plot and the developments on the viltrumite invasion plot were soooooo interesting this show can really hit when it wants to huh

#thunder rambles #i mean i know we all knew that. i just forget sometimes when we have an extended scene about mark reading nolan's shitty pulp novels #and also when mark and his roommate slash best friend havent interacted onscreen since two episodes ago #when said best friend accused mark of ditching him for his gf💀 #like i hope that wasnt just a throwaway joke please invincible please follow through on the friendship angst #lets pile on the heartbreak for mark lets fucking do it lets have his best friend take him to task in the exact same way amber just did #william has a different angle for it as well since mark not responding to him meant william had to deal with his bf threatening to khs #by calling a goddamn government agent #like this boy has 0 friends #side note its actually so smart for william's list of who to call in a crisis with rick be 1) mark and 2) donald #like yeah maybe the police are more likely to respond but donald is 1000 times more qualified to deal with that crisis #smart boy. and yet hes so one dimensional its not even funny #rick and donald are finishing their character arcs and exploring the fucked up effects of scifi trauma #meanwhile william: 🚹 #i dont have the man_standing emoji on my phone so i had to put the male toilet sign💀 #anyway yeah. after mark has to confront the existence of his evil alternate universe selves #and the life of his mother and brother being threatened #lets force him once again to choose between big-picture world-saving duty and the needs of someone human whom he loves! #this time - william edition! #invincible

[twinkubus]

got tagged by @librarycards for a book rec list. ærs covered Q2'23; i'm just gonna do my faves from the first half of the year!

i've been reading a different crop of books since i made last year's list--i've taken a big dive back into sf, especially books by cj cherryh, as well as indie horror (that's... well, you'll find out when you look at the list).

again, they're ordered by when i read them. here we go!!!

Shmutz, Felicia Berliner (contemporary fiction, young hasidic woman comes of age, tries to find a husband, and gets obsessed with porn)

Father of Lies, Brian Evenson (psychological horror centering on a mormon religious leader. if you like books that make you feel gross and bad, this one's for you)

Any Other City, Hazel Jane Plante (fictional memoir of a trans musician. the book is split between her life right before she comes out, and then decades later when she's an established musician)

Camp Concentration, Thomas M. Disch (not even sure how to describe this one. fat, lapsed catholic, conscientous objector Louis Sachetti is imprisoned for refusing to become a US soldier and is sent to a prison where the (mostly black) inmates are being injected with experimental drugs. the author is gay and there's a lot of parallels to hiv/aids despite this being written in '68)

The World Cannot Give, Tara Isabella Burton (what if the secret history was catholic lesbians)

Amygdalatropolis, B.R. Yeager (another "if you like gross books" rec. i don't even know if i liked this one, but it was certainly interesting. chronicles the existence of a 4chan NEET)

Jealousy, Alain Robbe-Grillet (1957 french experientalism, i read this bc dennis cooper referenced it in an interview. believing his wife to be cheating on him, the narrator spies on her through a jalousie window, recording everything in his frame of vision that he can see. v interesting stylistically and could also rly benefit from a postcolonial reading)

The Pride of Chanur, CJ Cherryh (i read the entire trilogy pictured above, plus the first two books of her Foreigner series. it's basically a courtly fantasy/first contact mashup in space, really well developed alien cultures with lots of factions among them. tons of fun)

Frisk, Dennis Cooper (third "if you like gross extremist fiction" on here. this is my fave cooper after The Sluts and the most thematically resonant. if you haven't read the sluts i'd rec starting there. if i was a prof i would assign them together or even do this in a short course if there wasn't time for a longer book)

tagging @thebestestbat @tsubakiscarlet @danishprince @dovebeast @stackslip @eraserheadcrybaby @interstellarhitchhiker @kollapstradixionales @papika & would be happy to see book rec lists of anyone else!! fiction or non fiction or anything else idc whatever you're into ^_^

[allaganexarch]

aaaaaahhhh i'm so hype I have my first legit korean lessons today!!!

#personal #exciting korean learning tag #i've been wanting to try italki for like months but (a) schoolwork got the better of me this term LOL #(b) there are sooooooo many options so it took me a long time to decide on some tutors to try #(c) once i finally thought I had a short list some random youtube video recced preply so i looked at it #instantly found aNOTHER tutor I felt like i would really like #but then read a bunch of HORROR STORIES about how preply works and how the system screws over its tutors a lot #but i was like well okay but i really like this tutor so LOL #(d) so then all of this accomplished i ran up against 'oh my social anxiety isn't even that bad except when it is' #so i had to be batshit insane like looking up what the etiquette is for booking lessons and contacting potential tutors sdkjnfkjfnnf #ANYWAY i think this will really help me improve a lot!! #i do extremely well with one-on-one teaching bc i have a pathological need not to waste ppl's time LOL #and my main problem rn is it's hard to consistently create opportunities to practice + hold myself accountable #so assuming these tutors work out i'm hoping to start doing lessons a couple of hours a week :)

[chaotically-rem]

1, 3, 13, 14, 20 for the ask game!

Ohhh, thanks thanks, sorry I'm days late answering!

These are questions for the ask game!!! Which I'll still do answers for btw! I'm going to throw it under a read more bar because I am already off to a really long start for the first question, ^_^;)/

1. What led you to start writing fan fiction?

 

You see. I was an avid fanfic reader, back in the wee era of 2015 when I was in my early 20s, for a certain fandom that I shall not name. And I realized after reading hundreds and hundreds of fics for my favorite pairing that my preferred genre of fanfic (*coughs in major trigger warnings*) were all so.... so... Well. Every fic for that fandom was The Same. And I don't mean 'the same' in the way that enemies to lovers is always the same (where the enemies become lovers through some plot that forces them together) I mean that I can tell you plot point by plot point, scene by scene, argument by argument, exactly what happened in all of these fics because they were all the same. Every. Single. Time. There was no diversity in the plot. No creativity. It was the same scene setup, the same lines/same arguments, the same hurt/comfort every single fic. It was like a group of people who liked these topics all got together and brainstormed the Same Idea and then wrote the Same Idea a dozen times in the exact Same Way with very little deviation from the "hurt in an alley, rescued by their enemy, nursed back to health in the bedroom, and then they sleep together" plot and posted it on AO3. The first couple of times, it slapped. But then when the entire tag became Just That, or some variation of Just That because people branched out from "the alley" to "the almost alley" I sort of had enough.

I wanted to be a writer. I've always loved to write. So I thought "wow, what if I take this idea that wasn't bad the first time but it sucked the fourth fifth sixth and seventh time, and just make it crazier out of spite" and thus, I wrote the worst 140k first POV fanfic for my ship (and discovered that I enjoy almost setting this man on fire) and then I just? Never stopped writing because it was fun and low-pressure and I could read fic and go "I dont like that" and learn from other peoples mistakes, and then my own. This fic, however, is dead to me. Looking back, I'm glad I started somewhere and yes it was insane and wildly different than the others, but me @ me, first-person POV? are you insane?

And here I am, easily five million words later (not an exaggeration, I've written at least 5 mil since then because I wrote 3 mil 2019-now).

And now, I'm a Horror waiting to happen to your blorbos, ehehehehheeh.

3. What experiences/influences have shaped your writings the most?

The polite answer is: life experience of my chaotic luck that sounds fake. Listen. If you send me to the store for milk, there is no way for you to prepare for what kind of trouble I will get into, of no fault of mine.

The real answer: a life of misery. I get a lot of comments about how 'real' some of my fics feel, to an uncomfortable degree. Well. There's a reason for that :wheezesmiley:

I always recommend a few gintama fics starting with Pandemonium. This is like, a staple Gintama fic to read and it's gen! I really enjoyed this one even though I haven't reread it in a long time and I only remember the ending which was probably my favorite part. (I should do a reread) but I remember I liked the characterization and it sort of touched on all of my favorite things about Gintoki being unhinged, and how he could end up there down at the bottom ready to throw it all away. It was a real aspiration of mine to keep to the characterizations and to always drag out Gintoki's little horrors until the juicy last moment, and this fic is the reason for all of that.

13. What are some must-read fanfics in your fandoms? Why do you admire these, and how have they impacted your works?

Otherwise, I just have a few self-indulgent angst fics I like to reread. But for inspiration, I will admit that my timeloop fic, which i wrote obsessively like a madman and those of you who were dming me know I was ripping out my hair because you need an excel sheet for this level of insanity, was inspired by the other timeloop fic, because while I enjoyed that timeloop fic, I was severely disappointed that Gintoki never mentioned the timeloop to Hijikata, and more importantly, Gintoki never mentioned the fact that he witnessed Hijikata's death dozens of times and it has negatively impacted him to a severe degree. And then I was more annoyed that this is completely in character, so I decided to force Gintoki's hand on my own by making him the victim of the timeloop. (and then I accidentally killed Sakamoto, and the rest is history, ngl idk wtf happened I just sat down and wrote 40k one day and went "oh, ok, this is gonna be a long one")

I would also like to go out of my way to recommend a Witcher fic. I don't go here anymore and I likely will never go here again, but this fic had me hooked for two solid days. I did nothing but read this fic for two solid days. (I skipped the smut because I was more invested in the plot than the relationship LMFAO) I was so convinced that the plot had somethign to do with werewolves (or some other kind of shapeshifting/vampiric/demonic monster) that I actually binge wrote a 70k fic in one week because of this LMFAO

14. What aspects of your creative process do you enjoy most? Which are most challenging?

THEREFORE, the most challenging thing is me sitting down and going "okay this needs to not be vibes, it needs to have very specific crafted elements and also be creative while also being clever and meaningful and metaphorical and deep" and then I just don't write for three months (me rn, trying to force myself to write one (1) hyper specific thing I could care less about)

I just sit down and the brain and hands go 'brrrr' there is no creative process there is only me leaving my body and coming back like "noice". This is my favorite part. Or the part where someone goes "wouldn't it be wild if" and then goes to sleep and then suddenly they wake up to a 10k fic link in their inbox because they left me unattended with their left-field idea.

20. What’s your favorite work you’ve ever written?

Oh god. Ok. I can't pick one so I'm going to rec some of my favorites and explain why they're my faves.

I feel like Don't You Know That Timeloops Suck? (gintama, no warnings) has to be my most recent favorite because I was on an entire other level of insanity for this one and it was unfortunately very personal and looking back its a lot of things to me. lololol BUT the ending is... listen. Guys. I didn't want to finish it because I hated it at one point. It's rough. The second Sakamoto enters the timeloop everything went to shit on my end because I just didn't want anything to do this fic anymore, I was sick of writing it, I was sick of Hijikata, I was sick of Gintoki being too much like me. It's not my cleanest work, that's for sure and rereading it, I can see it clear as day and it drives me insane tbh. If I could rewrite any fics end/write more for a fic, it would be this one and I would be screaming the entire way.

But. This JJK fic, In the Vastness of the Cosmos, We Are But Nothing was a lot of fun to write. Like. A lot of fun. And I mean, I would love to write another one like this, but I need some delirious combination of cosmic horror and colours and higher level of clarity. It's not my strongest work technically and easily could have been double, triple the length to really drive the finer points home, but it is what it is and it's great considering I wrote the whole entire thing in one sitting and then just posted it without even an edit.

I have another fic like this for danny phantom, but I haven't re-uploaded it yet because I lost it in the deletion. (It's somewhere, I'm sure)

BUT. Fill the Void, Lest the Void Fill You (Trigun, content warnings beware) is my favorite, most solid ending. Like this fic? Is probably my favorite in terms of technical writing. It's solid the whole way through. I had actually discussed with a friend where my writing was lacking, and determined that my endings need some work (because I usually end things when I'm sick of writing them and it shows) but this fic? Solid. 10/10.

Okay I'll stop rambling, thanks for the ask! I love talking about my own fics lololo

Also. That “If Utsuro’s ‘Totally Not Meteor From Final Fantasy VII’ Attack Had Ended The World In Episode 361 But then Gintoki Tried To Go Back In Time And Save Everyone” AU deserves more love.

The Woods - San Fermin

This is admittedly a Very Self Indulgent one pfh!!

So remember those two Mudwings guards that got killed in the beginning of Book 3?? No ? Well I do and decided to develop an entire subset of Mudwing culture around their lines! The basic premise is the development of “monsters” during war-time, like the Monster in the Rainforest the two mudwing guards spoke of in the beginning of the book, and how these monsters and stories are actually reflections of War-Trauma from the Mudwing soldiers.

This song would fallow a pair of Mudwing siblings (unrelated to the canon guys) through the eyes of the Big Wings slowly watching their younger sibling become corrupted by the War, but the war trauma and violence is visually represented by their travels in the Rainforest. The “witches” in the woods are distorted silhouettes of Rainwings who symbolize the war. Its a pretty abstract concept but I really love thinking about the impact of war times on these dragons, especially the Mudwings who boarded the Rainforest.

#Mudwing #Also I know that the lyrics also kinda come off as romantic ?? I read them as platonic at first so thats why I decided the Mudwings were #siblings and only after getting hyped about this idea did I realize that maybe wasnt the implied intention so like. pretend with me that its #platonic fhfjb #This song is actually closer paired with my friends wc oc’s that I drew for weeks while listing to it as this song fits them So So So well #but WoF time so they get ignored for the Mudwings sorry kibbys #Rambling #TideArt
