#moral of the story is There Are No Rules

[tillywunderwing]

psst. hey. do you ever worry that you’re writing characters ‘ooc’ in fanfiction? well guess what. you’re not. that’s just your au now.

“they would not say that” yes they would, my au version of this character would totally say that

“ummmm this character’s powers don’t work like that” but they do. in my au

“these characters would never canonically be dating” buddy oh boy i cannot wait to tell you what fanfiction writers have been doing since the advent of their craft!! anything goes in my au!!!

the medium is inherently transformative do whatever you want forever ok ly byye

#fanfic meta #idk if that’s the appropriate tag for this but whatever #And. Look. I do understand wanting to adhere to canon whenever and wherever possible. #Because fanfiction is inherently a love letter to its source #(mmost of the time…) #But when you’re doing something for free I say you’re allowed to do it however the hell you want #so long as you’re having /fun/! #And also #if a prospective reader really wanted something exactly 1:1 with the source material #they would just go reconsume the source material! #Fanfiction (any fan creation really) is experienced under the implicit guise that said fan will have put their own spin on said fiction #in a way i kind of think that’s the whole point #but anyway it’s getting late and these tags are getting longer than the actual post lol #moral of the story is There Are No Rules #and if there Are Rules: #Fuck’em. #thanx for coming to my tedtalk xx

In Nothing But Shadows, Ragnor tells James that he’s been waiting for James to come to him for help on his warlock powers, and James says he’s only ever wanted to be a Shadowhunter. I think this should have been explored much more in TLH, where James is struggling to differentiate himself from his warlock side but it’s hard because of his abilities and his warlock mark.

On the other hand, we have Lucie who always says she doesn’t appreciate being overlooked (even though she ends up being overlooked through the whole narrative even though her power is more plot-relevant than James’s). Objectively, Lucie has the more powerful ability between her and James, and she does not have a warlock mark and is unafraid to use her power. She has a willingness to learn about her warlock side. Therefore, I think she definitely should have started warlock training so we could see the way that James and Lucie have opposite views on their powers and whether they are a blessing or curse, something to hide away and tame or something to utilize. It would also be interesting to see because, although this is not discussed in TLH, it is mentioned in the short stories that even at a young age people in Shadowhunter society think that Lucie is never going to be married because of her warlock blood and that any little misstep could forever ruin her reputation. So her warlock training just adds even more risk but I think that seems like something Lucie would do regardless. It could have added much more dimension to Lucie’s character and furthered an antihero arc (that I so desperately wish would have happened).

#I’m never finished complaining about Lucie’s lack of an antihero arc #she’s a morally gray antagonist sry I don’t make the rules #i thought this difference between James and Lucie’s views on their powers would have been so interesting if it was discussed #but of course it wasn’t #James’s power literally changed between the short stories and the start of TLH #honestly lucie and James’s powers high key made no sense they were so random and disjointed so I’m never gonna try to make sense of them #I’m cursed from thinking about all this stupid potential #lucie herondale #the last hours #james herondale #chain of thorns spoilers #chain of thorns

this is completly self indulgent and fucking random but i HAVE to vent

this was one of my favourite few months fandon wise istg

first i experienced dazai osamu- THE Mr. Bungou Stray Dogs himself die on the anniversary of Bakugou Katsuki's death. Both of these occurencies very fucking hilarious to me for different reasons but needless to say i celebrated both(dazai's more, REST IN PISS BOZO) nevertheless

then i read a post here on the site of the tumblr that apparently griffith berserk has managed to live this long(over 30 human yrs) cus he "allegedly" survives by stealing the life force of other white haired anime boys. i found this hilarious and jokingly prayed to him that if that WAS the case then 'Please o please o please o great griffith i'll take any penalty just fucking kill Gojo Satoru i cant stand his fake ass' and GUESS WHAT

GOJO SATORU DIES WITHIN THE FUCKING WEEK OF ME SAYING THAT

but on that same day fucking DAZAI comes back from the dead.

so griffith did what he had to do to rid us of the annoying white haired twink but said brunettes r not his type.

what a wild ride.

i wish my life made as much sense as this lmao

Not the “Across the Spider-Verse” film introducing yet MORE ways in which Miles is pulled between two worlds/two identities!!!

Already in “Into the Spider-Verse” we saw him pulled in two directions / straddling two identities or communities on multiple fronts, namely:

Afrolatino

Bilingual

Graffiti artist / STEM student

Regular kid / Spider-Man

Fancy private school kid / Brooklyn public school kid

“Focused” honors student / “Distracted” serial truant

And now we get to tack on:

His DNA is literally hybridized - part from his birth universe (Earth-1610B) AND part from the Earth-42 universe

Heroic Spider-Person AND dangerous anomaly

Bruh. The levels. They really went all-in with him on the myriad ways one can be othered by their own community - never being considered enough of one identity to be claimed by either of them and thus never really feeling like you truly, wholly belong anywhere, huh?! Gotdamn.

#miles morales #duality of identity #Dratch was right to ask it: ​what IS your story Miles? write it yourself bud do your own thing hell yeah #identity is the ENTIRE theme of the spider-verse films I don’t make the rules it’s so blatant #and I love it #into the spider-verse #spider-verse #across the spider-verse #spiderverse spoilers #across the spider verse spoilers

the conversation where molly says "I leave every town better than I found it" is when he's defending himself after beau called him out for doing something fucked up, which was telling strangers what he arbitrarily decides that they need to hear and subsequently scamming them with false fortunes, like has legitimately everyone fucking forgotten that. it was just quoted in the wired article about critical role's positive legacy and it's...still the tagline for their nonprofit

#critical role #mollymauk tealeaf #character death is one hell of a drug #main moral of the story is that if you're hot enough you can say whatever you want #anyway i remember u canon molly i love u canon molly #paternalistic and self absorbed shambling evocation of obnoxious feel good politic with the bloodlust to match #like yes it's a good rule to live by #but imo it's akin to going like 'to quote jeff the killer: be yourself' #remy yells

there are very few things that will get me to stop reading a fic once i get into it, but the one that never fails to get me to click away is when the reader explicitly says that they are straight, or that they’re only attracted to men

especially because i’ve never felt the need, in any of the fics i’ve written with a heterosexual pairing, to have one of the characters announce it to the world

#it’s not a moral failure but like why does my bi-ness not fit in with your story?? so much that it has to be ruled out? #ghostofskywalker.txt

atsv's miguel o'hara is so lana del ray multiverse of madness' wanda coded. went out of his way to steal the life of another miguel in order to have the family that he never did in his own universe. and caused irredeemable harm because of it.

and then he goes and projects all that guilt and emotional trauma onto miles, because he has the potential to make the same mistake >:C not because miles wants to steal and gain a family he should've never had to begin with. but because he just wants to save the family he already has. wasn't even meant to be spider-man and now miguel's after his head because he's trying to break the mold of what it means to be spidey

like mfer if you don't leave that child alone and let him save his dad

#atsv spoilers #across the spiderverse #miguel o'hara #miles morales #like yeah universe collapsing and everything but it'll be fine #his story already broke the rules of the universe let him do it again fck your generational spidey trauma

“rhaenyra doesn’t care about being a good queen and only cares about power” honey. nobody on this whole entire show cares about being a Good Monarch, they’re all taking their various poisons and doing what they think is best for the realm according to that system, which is rotted. rhaenyra has been inundated with blood purity targaryen prophecy propaganda since she was born, why would she worry about being a Good Queen when sitting on the iron throne is not only her birthright by blood, but is the thing that will save the entire world from destruction. alicent doesn’t worry about being a Good Queen, she’s there because she was sacrificed on the altar of family progress and in order to make her life worthwhile she must continue her line and perform womanhood and obsequence better than it has ever been performed, otherwise her life will have been a series of small deaths with no purpose. both of these women have been manipulated and pointed in particular directions by the structures around them, and now a blade of valyrian steel has freed them and brought their desires to the forefront. rhaenyra sees the flames and the walls of her cage and decides, literally, to hell with it. if i’m going to burn then you all are going to burn with me, and in the meantime i am going to become as powerful as i can be, so that i can resuscitate this dying dynasty through power of will alone. alicent draws blood and recognizes there is no hiding behind virtue and capitulation, but maybe she can turn that virtue into a weapon that can allow her to exercise her will with more force and more righteousness than before. they are both advancing causes that are not Real or Good or Necessary, and have zero to do with Being a Good Ruler. they’re trapped in mutual prisons of fate and power and the only choice they have is how they’re going to destruct. it’s not about who sits on the throne it’s about the inevitable moral and physical decay of those who thirst for power, no matter the divine reasoning they have. 

#i really don't understand how people are not finding nyra just as compelling as alicent but i guess it's because the trappings around nyra #make it seem like she's just floofing around taking everything for granted #but nyra's belief in her inherent exceptionalism as a targaryen is just as much a learned and poisonous framework #as alicent's adherence to the morality of the seven #both of them think they are being warriors for The Right Way but it's just fucked up rhetoric learned from the men around them #no monarch in the history of game of thrones has ever cared about ruling for rulings sake #thats not the story #which is not even to touch on the gender of it all which somehow people keep missing enitrely???????> #meta #text

not sure how to word this but having the embodiment of the sin of lust in your edgy story set in hell care very seriously about consent, has the same energy as when people convince themselves that spamton would hate nfts.

#Like sure it's fiction it's your story whatever you say is the rules is the rules #But it's obvious you're just treating your own moral standards as inherent laws of the universe that even literal embodiments of evil agree #It reeks of virtue signalling for lack of a better term

a lot of things could be fixed by making casca a butch. the rest of the issues could be fixed by making her a protagonist before a girl

#look. u can have her struggle with feminity all u want without going for the boring and frankly stupid 'im a girl but i dont wear dresses' #casca pressured to perform feminity as its seen within the society and struggling with her morals (following rules) and her desires #(how good it feels to deviate and indulge in masculinity. indulge in what she wants). even as a knight suffering misogyny #have her confront others' definition of womanhood without going for 'here she is in a dress and naked still a girl despite the sword' the #the way butches do by merely existing happy in their masculinity. casca proudly claiming the title of woman and sister and confronting #anyone who treats her as less for it without doing a 'im as good as the boys' but simply 'i am good because i am me' #casca allowed to show off and truly stand out?? god. #there's so many ways to make her struggles as a woman a knight and a person living around griffith's aura interesting in a way that doesn't #dehuminize her and treat her as a tool #like. guts is treated as a tool within the story but he's an active protagonist. casca is treated as a tool within and by the storty itself #it sucks :/

Hi there 🫶🏾

My name is Angel and I am a 19 year old black female.

I go by she/they and I decided to stop being scared of the itsv/atsv fandom, so I started this blog. Screw the haters. It's nice to meet y'all.

Don't be scared to be moots or talk to me, angels. I am nice, I promise.

My other fandoms:

Marvel

Rick and Morty

Encanto

Good omens

But to be honest, I might just stick with superheroes. And maybe Good omens

Rules:

Please do not come in here with that hateful mess, I am here to have fun and to fulfill requests that I am comfortable with. Do not read my stuff if you don't like it.

I will write anything except gore, scat, excessive blood, piss, r@pe, and excessive violence. Do not request disgusting things. I will write like stalking maybe, soft core stuff like that, but don’t push it any farther. I will write headcanons or just little short stories. If you got a little idea, send it and I will add onto it.

I will not hesitate to block people cause I want a positive and comfortable space for everyone.

If you got a story or a fic: be respectful with your requests and asks. Be descriptive and don't bombard me with asking if I am finished. I have a life, go to school, and I have a job. Don't expect me to do every request.

I am a female, so I will only write for fem reader (still getting comfortable with writing male reader.)

Also, I change fandoms a lot because I am into a lot of stuff. I am sorry if I stop writing for something and I will try to stick to one thing.

I will write for:

Miles Morales: Comic, game, 42, 1610, all

Hobie Brown

Pavitr Prabhakar

Miguel O’Hara

Tony Stark

Steve Rogers

Thor Odinson

Loki

Peter Parker: Tom Holland

Bucky Barnes

Stephen Strange

Bruce Banner

I think that's all.

Bye bye, my angels!

pinterest is such a problematic site because it's so easy for art to be stolen and reposted without credit on a wattpad wolfboy x reader story that's written in a totally different language where said reposted art is almost completely unrelated to the x reader and now you have to dig up your ten year old wattpad account that you abandoned in middle school to try and at least get them to credit your art because they quoted the exact note you left on the original art post so you know they know you're the original artist which frustrates you severely because you have one rule with reposts of your work and it's just credit me damn it oh my god

#/hj? /lh? hhhh?????? #no hate to the author but I literally have one rule for reposting it would be so nice if people could follow it #/srs on the Pinterest thing btw it makes it so easy to bury original artists and it's so frustrating to see reposters crediting with just #''I got this from Pinterest 😊" #please for the love of god learn how to respect artists boundaries i am begging #i apologize for ranting #I don't like to rant but this hit me out of left field #here's to the past two years of getting my art reposted on different sites with no credit ✌️ #moral of the story is: if you repost art make sure you know the artist's boundaries #all that aside though this was admittedly a very funny instance #a wolfboy x reader was the last thing i was expecting to see my work reposted on #it gave me a good laugh even if it was frustrating #quillnnotart #tw rant

if you can gush constantly about enjoying a piece of media but diss the idea of people disliking the same thing unless/even though they provide detailed reasoning or proof with citations... idk I feel like you need to reassess something

#''how can you hate on--'' it is a movie! and even worse - a marvel movie! and yet more even it's biggest crime yet - it is a terrible one ! #it makes no pretense of consistency with the rest of the 'cinematic' universe it alleges to come from ! #the character acts like nothing of itself in the previous movie appeared in ! #there is no character arc nor development of any character save for in the villain's final breaths ! the flimsy morality of such regret ! #the humour is subpar in that it is reliant on gags - a cheap and desperate tactic to make weak comedy appear stronger ! #for all that it speaks of love and grief the writing is poor and smart decent lines do not fit the context they are spoken in ! #nor the characters speaking them thematically ! #there is either too much unexplained occurring or nothing taking up too much time. this pacing and convenient exposition is bland ! #final denouement carries little to no weight ! #fight scenes are badly choreographed despite the genre + there is dubious camerawork in play on top of it which further breaks immersion ! #it seems unable to decide on the rules of the world it has itself established ! #ending cliffhangers can be good but in this instance feels as though done constantly solely to encourage watching the next product ! #character interactions leave much to be desired and motivation to move the story forward tend to be convoluted at best ! #what was once original characterization built on relevant events to flesh the character feels generic by both writing and presentation ! #outfits make no attempt to look like they're authentic materials (plastic? :/ ?) and the CGI is problematically attained AND poor quality ! #the 'inspiration' drawn from comic religious and myth source material is either offensive meaningless easter eggs or both ! #maybe the move was generic and formulaic and difficult to follow along without other pieces of media and boring to top it off ! #someone out there seems to believe sexualizing the men is a solution ! #characters I have interest in were sidelined or mistreated by the narrative ! #racist casting/roles have been given and the product did not reflect how it was advertised ! #maybe............. someone simply did not have fun watching it .......................... has that been.........considered................? #L + based + ratio + Ctrl+Z + must I say more? #no one owes anyone an explanation to their enjoyment or lack thereof of a piece of media and shouldn't be insulted for it smh #now if someone gives reasons and THOSE are dodge... but no this isn't about that. another time then
