#keep your two cents

[michelleleewise]

You know AI is using stolen artwork yo train their algorithms to produce the artwork... right?

I have said it once.....and I'll say it again......apparently I wasn't loud enough for the people in the back......

I've looked into it, asked questions, done aaaaaalllllllll the research......

And no matter what I say, or try to say to validate my point of view my words fall on deaf ears. So, I have come up with a solution.....are you ready??....

IM GONNA KEEP DOING IT BECAUSE I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS! I PAY FOR MY SERVICE, IM NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG, AND IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE DOESN'T LIKE IT......MOVE ALONG!!!!! I DIDNT ASK YOU TO COME HERE AND LECTURE ME, I DIDNT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION, I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR TWO CENTS.......SO KINDLY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

did you hear me that time???

So, unless you can come out behind anon and talk to me like an adult, move on and leave my blog as it should me.....MINE!!!

Thank you for your time and have the day you deserve.

it's actually so important to me that in the memory loss extras xie lian finds out he doesn't have spiritual power anymore (because he's been having sex). it means

he feels comfortable relying on hua cheng

he's able to be 'selfish', and choose what he wants rather than what other people think is correct

he's free from the responsibility of being the most powerful martial god in heaven

he's getting thoroughly dicked down

#tgcf #i speak #love to the fics that do alternate things where he still keeps it or recultivates or w/e #and initially it feels a bit anticlimactic. he just got that back!! why would he give it up!!! thats such a shame! #and then you realize you sound like a heavenly official #he doesnt give a shit #isnt it beautiful that his husband is always so close #that he doesnt feel guilty about borrowing anymore #isnt it so nice to know that given the choice between upholding an ancient promise for incomprehensible amounts of power #and fucking his husband #he fucked his husband??? #slay king #removing the shackle 1) gave him enough power to defeat jun wu and 2) removed the last marks of control that jun wu had #it was about xie lian's freedom and love empowering him #i'd argue that the main point was not the achievement of simply becoming more powerful. #so hua cheng's third death was still hugely important even if xie lian did not keep the power #i cant imagine he has a problem with this development #hc: but gege.... your cultivation...🥺🥺 xl: i want you more hc:🤯😍 #gay sex + getting to kiss gege all the time for power > any guilt he might have #thats my two cents :) #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tgcf meta #hob #heaven official's blessing #tgcf spoilers #tgcf book 5 spoilers

I play this shit too much

#if i had a cent #for every Doom I've met that was incapable of staying alive for more than five seconds #without being constantly healed #I'd have two cents #which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice #and they have the gall to bitch about heals #anyway #not pictured here the very sweet Ram that kept peeling for us #so naturally I had to use coal to keep him alive a few times #see this is how you stay alive #be nice to your supports #also friendly Sombras my beloved #my art #overwatch

I remember hearing some stuff about how if ZUN wanted to take the story of Touhou Project to a new stage, there would have to be some kind of major change to the status quo and would be focused on how each character adapts to that change. This got me thinking about what would happen if the story of Touhou "went to another level" and I personally think that's going to happen when Marisa inevitably becomes a Youkai. It's already been established that Reimus whole duality is balancing her duties as a shrine maiden with her wants as a person, and this leads into basically the reason as to why I wrote this post.

Buckle up, because this is going to be a long one

So, I've been thinking about ReiMari a lot, and like, IDK if there are any fanfics/fanworks exploring this idea, but the ship could work incredibly well for a romantic tragedy story. I mainly say this because of the possibility that Reimu would have to kill Marisa if Marisa becomes a Youkai, and there are a few possibilities for this:

Option 1: Reimu doesn't think about it/doesn't fully know

Reimu isn't fully in the know about the behind the scenes stuff of Gensokyo's balance. Yukari probably tells her half of what she needs to know, but leaves Reimu with more questions than answers. She most likely doesn't think about this much, and even forgets about with Marisa. This means that when the time actually comes when Marisa turns into a Youkai, Reimu is reluctant to exterminate Marisa until Yukari finally tells her the "truth" that she needs to kill her in order to maintain Gensokyo's balance.

Option 2: Reimu and Marisa both know this fact and have both been putting it out of their minds for a while

This option is a variant of the previous one, but I feel like it could also lead to some interesting story beats. They've both been putting it out of their minds and have instead been trying to enjoy the time they have left together to the fullest. Yukari and the other sages probably don't know that Marisa also knows her days are numbered, but she knows that day isn't there yet. I like to think that in this version, they both have a sliver of hope that maybe they could change things, that maybe they could re-write the laws of Gensokyo entirely and create a world where they can both still be with each other, but deep down they know the cruel reality of it.

Option 3: Reimu does know but she doesn't tell anyone

Reimu does know the full extent of Gensokyo's order and knows that she will need to kill Marisa eventually. Only she, Yukari, Kasen, and Okina (maybe even some of other sages we haven't met yet) understand this. However, none of Gensokyo's higher ups know that this fact pains Reimu to the point where it becomes a close guarded secret of hers. This also adds to my headcanon that before she met Marisa, Reimu probably closed herself off from a lot of people, and even afterwards, she still has a feeling of loneliness from the rest of Gensokyo when she's not with Marisa. I imagine the scene in this hypothetical fic where Marisa has turned into a Youkai and she finally sees Reimu again, but their reunion isn't a happy one. Reimu, with tears in her eyes looks up at Marisa and she silently realizes why Reimu has come to see her. A feeling of betrayal followed by anger rises in her, and she asks as to why Reimu never told her about any of this sooner, only to be answered by Reimu wordlessly attacking her. Marisa gets away for the time being of course, but she then realizes that nothing is going to be the same for her. Reimu on the other hand, has to grapple with having to kill the one who helped bring her out of her loneliness, the one who has always been by her side even in her worst moments, and the one who she loves more than anything.

As you could probably tell by the time I've spent writing about it, but option 3 is my favourite. While each of these are slightly different variants on the same premise, I think having the cruel irony that Reimu knew this was inevitable all along would make for such interesting conflict. This story also makes ReiMari this beautiful type of doomed love, which could pit all of Gensokyo against Reimu, leaving her as isolated and alone as she used to be without Marisa. This fic idea could also be an interesting way to explore the characters of the sages individually.

And if by the end of this fic, Reimu does indeed kill Marisa, we should expect to see Reimu come into conflict with the sages, asking questions they don't want her to ask. And like ok, I know we're veering back into headcanon territory, but I think it would be interesting to imagine that the sages probably view the Hakurei lineage as a mere tool for Gensokyos balance (aside from probably Kasen), Reimu being no exception. This also could also question the ethics regarding how the Hakurei Shrine maiden of each generation is treated by the higher ups in Gensokyo, especially with the fact that Reimu is still an orphaned teenager who doesn't have a proper support system outside of Marisa and Kasen. Speaking of, I imagine that she's the only one of the sages who is actually trying to help Reimu with this whole situation, and would probably end up being one of the few people Reimu could trust in this situation. However, after she kills Marisa, she would probably be just as distrusting to her as with all the other sages.

I think could also make a very interesting manhunt type of story, with Reimu and Marisa being on thier own and a bunch of Gensokyo residents coming after Reimu to avenge Marisa. Which could also make for some really interesting conflict. I'm also very curious as to how Yukari would respond to this situation, and if a part of her, deep down is subtly reminded of the time when she lost someone oh so dear to her, if only she could remember them...

And then there's the big question of, "how would this fic end?" and to be honest. I don't know, but a cool idea could be Reimu potentially rewriting or recreating Gensokyo and becoming a god herself. It's a very farfetched idea, but it could be neat. Actually no that's basically what Madoka did uhhhh yeah no kinda stumped. Maybe Reimu could escape to the real world or something??? Yeah I'll have to think on that one.

In the end, while some people are kinda frustrated with the status quo reliant nature of Touhous narrative, I personally don't mind as Touhou is primarily ZUNs playground for ideas and the like. It also gives fanworks more freedom in regards to how it wants to fit itself into the canon. So yeah that's the end of my very very long Touhou fanfic/fanwork idea. If I feel like actually writing this as a fanfic, I probably would if I had the time lol.

Every day I go into the comment section on instagram and every day I wonder why the fuck I do that

#sass talks #people on the internet are just so dumb #like if something doesn't appeal to them or they don't like something #they just HAVE to comment #like girl you know you can just KEEP FUCKING SCROLLING RIGHT?! #you don't have to share your two cents keep it moving let's go

[eury--dice]

yes yes the pride and prejudiceness of their interactions is there but i really think ruehob is going down more of a persuasion path…

#i’m just saying..the changes in reputation…the duty which pulls you away from your feelings… #i think hob could have his wentworth moment tbh. and rue could have their elliot moment if things keep going like last episode! #it’s reading more like persuasion to me folks. #which i’m here for entirely tbh. i love pride and prejudice #but i have Truly studied that book to death and ruehob is uhh not quite hitting it for me? #for yearning? yes #for the particulars of duty and wanting and being an asshole? not quite #d20 #dimension 20 #a court of fey and flowers #acofaf #ruehob #battlemaster of ceremonies #i love y’all but there is more regency fiction than pride and prejudice. i also love pride and prejudice to DEATH but… #anywho these are just my two cents. have fun folks #delloso de la rue #captain kp hob #hob

What's better as a fanfic reader?

Multiple interconnected stories

Or

A one hundred chapter fic?

(I have a draft that is already almost 30,000 words and not even close to done. I'm debating separating it by arc into smaller chunks)

depends on the story honestly. one single fic should have a single consistent main plot and then multiple subplots. if you wanna pursue multiple main plots though it might be better to break it up into several full-sized stories

“Idk why Mammon doesn’t have more votes” it’s because compared to his brothers he’s a saint. Like even if the money thing was gonna be a worry (it’s not. he canonically has never stolen from mc because he cares about them too much) it’s still better than dating the two dipshits who’ve actually gotten physically violent with you in the past, one on multiple occasions and who continues to do so with his brothers.

#satan and mammon are the best choices honestly like even if you’re a person like me that is terrified of angry partners you still have to #admit that Luci is worse than Satan in that regard because at least Satan can control himself most of the time #anyways don’t let this sway your votes it’s just my two cents because I keep seeing people mentioning finances w mammon lol

the other day at work i had a group of three goth middle schoolers, the oldest they could’ve been was like, 12 or 13, tip me two cents. i work retail. that’s been the highlight of my month.

#i keep the pennies in a trinket box #goth middle schoolers if you are reading this i cherish you guys and wish i had the resources to dress like that when i was your age #keep being yourselves #but for reference if you’re actually tipping a service make sure you’re not only tipping two cents #again i work retail so i don’t exactly get tips #goth #goth kids #retail

legit if I were to engage with think pieces about pedrigavi friendship, it would be a long ride lol.

honestly the discourse in the stranger things fandom always amazes me because it’s absolutely ridiculous and almost always some bullshit

(incoming rant in the tags)

#leave it to me to join possibly the most problematic fandom lol #but y’all seriously can’t just coexist and let people like the characters they like and/or possibly identify with in some way?? #without making said person feel like shit?? #y’all know exactly what i’m talking about and don’t act like you don’t #'but that character they like is problematic!!' #you say as if your fave isn’t the slightest bit problematic too #just the most probably overused example: #‘billy’s problematic!’ okay and?? #so is nancy. so is steve. so is mike. want me to keep going?? #SPOILER ALERT: #nearly every stranger things character is problematic #y’all can thank the duffers for that too #‘but i don’t like billy or identify with him so no one else can either!’ #— that’s what y’all sound like tbh #almost like you’ve got a superiority complex or something bc you don’t like a ‘shitty’ character #and then y’all actively seek out people who don’t like your favorite character or may like a character that you don’t just to bully them #bestie (derogatory) that’s clown behavior🤡 #i’ve just been silently spectating for so long #and now i’ve gotta put my two cents in #but sometimes it’s funny to see y’all getting so pressed over someone else’s opinion #like have you never heard that everyone is entitled to their own opinion? #just stop making the fandom a toxic place #it’s really that simple #alright i’m done now #stranger things #morgan’s rants and rambles #morgan’s dumbass thoughts💬

There are other good songs on Harry’s House, but the top three are clearly Baby Honey, Complicated Freak and Love of My Life.

The bad news is Baby Honey and Complicated Freak aren’t actually on Harry’s House and no one cares about Love of My Life.

#Harry's House #just my two cents #I know my tastes and opinions #are probably not the same as yours #in fourth place I'd say Keep Driving

the more time passes and the more I grow and mature as a young man the more I can actually articulate exactly why an internet celebrity targeting an indie game by "think of the children-ing" about comical violence on the level of the average looney tunes cartoon, subtle - likely unintentional- reinforcement of normalized ableism in society, and devolving into a tangent about how irreplaceable the nuclear family is (because the main character is implied to have a single mother) was so shitty. Then to go on and claim the game's fans were attacking him for pointing out that everything he said was a reflection of his own issues, even though his fans were the ones engaging in harassment.
