#narrator: she wasnt

[dietbeverage]

Sometimes I remember a conversation I had with my mom around the time they were learning about my younger sisters adhd and she said "a lot of people with adhd need to do something to occupy themselves to help their brains think. A lot of them doodle or bounce their leg or do something like that in class and it helps them focus." And I remember thinking yeah I do both of those things but I'm built different lmao I just do those for fun and not bc of adhd. Girl...

#my posts #adhd #the mental gymnastics i would constantly go through in my head to like other my sister and reassure myself that i was normal #is completely mind boggling to me #i even remember saying to my sister once in a really mean conversation #that she was just like me in whatever quality and she just had to get over herself and deal with things and not be such a baby about things #like i was so close to getting it #but i didnt have the knowledge to understand that i was just way better at masking than she was #and even my parents didnt #i had a lot of problems as a kid around being different and not fitting in but i could never really wrap my head around it #my mom also said once that kids with adhd mature a few years behind their peers #and i thought 'yeah not me haha im totally normal' #narrator: she wasnt #idk in a lot of ways my self esteem was really fucked with throughout my adolescence bc i knew i wasnt normal #but i was smart and somewhat emotionally intellegent #so my social ineptitude was like this odd thorn in my side that i couldnt understand #dunno just rambling today i guess #sorry allie for treating you like shit

SLAY THE PRINCESS (chewing on drywall)

#oh my god the way this game has been festering in my brain since i watched rts playthrough of it ITS SO OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #I LOVE COSMIC HORROR AND SELF AWARE TIMELOOPS AND THE ENDLESS FUTALITY OF THE NARRATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #I LOVE BIRD MEN AND GIANT MONSTER WOMEN AND NARRATORS WITH PERSONALITY!!! #sorry im normal. #quirinahscreams #no but i also love the voices of the main character and how the choices you make determine which one of them shows up (saying nonsense) BUT #ALSO HOW THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN SKILLS? IF THAT MAKES SENSE #like the stubborn and the hunted's affinity for combat/survival in the beast route or paranoids autonomic nervous system thing #she heart on my lungs till i liver nerves #I WISH IC OULD SAY MORE BUT SPOILERS BUT ALSO RAGHHH. they werent lying it really is a love story (gripping table so tightly it splinters) #THE WAY THE FIRST CABIN RUNTHRU IS LIKE UR DEFAULT SLATE AND THEN THE CHOICES YOU MAKE SLASH HOW YOU PERCEIVE THE PRINCESS IN THAT ROUTE #AFFECT WHAT SHE APPEARS AS TO YOU LATER #EVEN DOWN TO TAKING THE KNIFE #how shes docile and initially innocent if you dont take it but calculating and dangerous if you do #or depending on how you die she reappears as vengeful or simply cruel or resigned etc and then different voices show up to compliment that #i always feel so lame giving faceless characters visual appearances though its part of the mystique intrigue or whatever #but my boring hc for the mc is that hes like a harpy. a la howl movingcastle type beat but i also love birdman mc #its just that i wasnt paying attention earlier and imagined him as like a generic fairytale prince/knight and then realized oh he has TALON #I NEED TO SHUT UP OH MY GOD BUT ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO DRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i literally can't decide of the shadowhunters tv show girlbossified isabelle or degirlbossified her. she was already very hashtag girlboss but i think what it comes down to is that they made her less #girl and more #boss so where does that leave us

#i think isabelle is definitely the character who changed the most to the books! i thought it was clary but it's her for sure #book isabelle is a lot more ditzy and rude than show isabelle she just says things #and show isabelle is far more independent and skilled than book isabelle #i feel like book isabelle is a bit more tropey and a bit less three dimensional esp in the first 3 books #which also has to do w the fact that she wasnt a narrator/main character in those books but still #however i think book isabelle got to be more genuinely flawed and in turn we get to see her overcome that #in a way we dont get to see show isabelle overcome any personal flaws bc she's already a very functional person #vic reads tmi

one thing i really appreciate about svsss is that with anyone else in shen yuans role?

the system's lbh mood ring points (satisfaction, heartbreak, etc) would be considered an invasion of privacy more than the whole transmigration thing already is or at least a source of valuable insight but instead

its shen yuan. if anything the mood ring reveals make him more confused

#(wiping away tears) hes so stupid #no but really the ways in which mxtx crafts her narration to share info with/withhold info from her audience is SO fascinating #*are #and to do it w/out breaking suspension of disbelief! shes so talented! #like theres so many examples! #the systems mood ring points making many of lbhs feelings/motivations obvious #(or at least comprehensive enough to be follow-able) #to the audience while still portraying sy's obliviousness as genuine and understandable #all of the hints as to hua chengs identity that make you think youve figured it out long before xie lian only to discover that #1. hes known for ages and just didnt mention it even tho HES LITERALLY THE NARRATOR? #2. we as the audience arent even told when he figured it out. we find out that he knows at the same time hua cheng does #(<- this also happens a bit w nan feng and fu yao. we Know but does xie lian know? yes he just doesnt care.) #its like the jkr 'it wasnt mentioned bc it wasnt relevant to harrys story' thing but CLEVER AND TRUE AND ON PURPOSE #i havent read mdzs yet but based on what ive seen & on cql a similar thing is done w wwx&lwj solving a murder mystery #theyre revealing what happened while wwx was dead to the cultivation world and the audience but also much of what happened when he was alive #(tho most of what happened when he was alive the first time is only revealed to the audience) #like i know mxtx is hardly the first author to do this but like. i just enjoy it so much? #anyway thats all i love her #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #svsss #tgcf #cql #mdzs #mxtx #✌️

From the diary of Louise DuBois–

Dear diary,

It has been weeks since my last entry, and I can hardly recall what has happened in that time. I remember being so tired. So cold. For days.

I thought surely I was dying. Louis kept me on bed rest after that. I am only now starting to feel like myself again, and when I ask my husband what on earth happened to me, he simply goes pale and doesn’t speak. It must’ve been something horrible. I do not prod.

I am simply glad to still be here.

Gratefully, Louise

#yall this was a CLOSE CALL #wasnt even a dice roll just random chance from adeepindigos mod :~) #i was SO close to letting her die??? bc like?? realism??? but holy cow i couldnt lose her not yet 😭 #thankfully louis was super confident and DEMANDED grim let her live and it worked lmao #who would narrate if she died!!!!! #ts4 decades challenge #sims 4 decades challenge #dubois decades

i get that a new team had taken over at this point and that’s probably why the writing is suddenly different this way, but i cannot get over my Immense disappointment that despite the books focusing a lot on sibling dynamics and issues, a lot on family and melodrama, that they decided to stop giving pov chapters to both siblings here when alderheart and sparkpelts dynamic has SO much potential

#imagine oots but there was no ivypool chapters and we just focused on the dovewing stuff #i do prefer dovewing of the two but like. part of that is bc we saw BOTH sisters’ perspective #at that point it wasnt ‘’this guys wrong this guy is god (mostly)’’ but it was different #there was… Some nuance to be had with the dove and ivy situation #while here all wr get is alderheart. no perspective on spark besides his biased view #sparkpelt has no voice no anything. she just fades into the background while also being a tool to make alder look good #and this time the resentment and rivalry doesnt even culminate to dark forest manipulation so like #it feels like the writers werent interested in sparkpelt as anything but a tool they could shape to make alder look good #sure we dont need both sides for it to be compelling sometimes the biased view can tell a story on its own through unreliable narrator stuff #but wc doesnt even do that. its more like ‘’ugh sparkpaw is a brat. she has everything alderpaw has nothing. ok anyways unrelated thing time #avos liveread

📓for the ask game. Gimme all the juicy details on a fic you haven’t written yet <3

okay so like i have this one mutual that got me really into shipping Sokka and Azula, (@balsa-margarita , hey bestie <3). And I really want to do something with that, But I have no confidence whatsoever in writing Azulas pov. I do, however have full confidence in writing Sokka and his pov. I feel like I depict him better than any other canon character I write, so maybe I can work with that.

this specific idea is still very new and im still working through the specifics but like, you know those Zuko stories where something happens that throws the course of the story completely away from canon and Zuko's redemption arc coils around that event like a snake and like launches him into Sokka's arms and a lot of his redemption is deeply inbedded in Sokka too??? (Think 'The Art of Burning, Leaving it all behind/Risking it all, Blue I think is another one) I want something like that, but like Azula.

Maybe even without the shipping part of it, but I really want to do a fic where Azula gets an actual support system and has her 'redemption' revolve around that, whether that be the gaang, the water tribe, ty lee and mai or even maybe ursa or zuko if i feel like having the 'repairing relationships' thing a part of it.

i also really want a large portion of that story going into her relationship with zuko and what specifically went wrong there and how it can be fixed to where they act like normal siblings and not what you see in canon. Same with Ursa and Iroh.

#This is the potential wip that has most of my focus right now despite it being nothing more than a vaque concept at best #But I love Azula and how her relationships are depicted #and people in this fandom dont seem to understand how complicated her relationships are #like there are so many different ways you can interpret Azula and Ursa #Because of my own mom issues I think I lean into the demonizing ursa part of this #im projecting #and im most likely going to go that route in ihiap #because when azula becomes a bigger part of the plot shes going to bring up some points about ursa that makes the swt go 🤨🤨 towards zuko #he is such an unreliable narrator #i love it #and a lot of the points im going to make are very construed and like the type of thing that could be cannon #but like its probably not #but if i develop this specific wip more im probably going to go the opposite direction in that specifc area #and have more of the ' ursa tried her best but it wasnt good enough' thing #and work on expanding on that #i think most people that follow me know im very critical iroh #like i feel like him and zuko had a good relationship when he was a kid #but like after lu ten died that shifted more into a zuko and iroh using eachother as a coping mechanism thing #another thing im going to touch on in ihiap #book three is going to be so great especially the second half #im getting off track #but i think irohs relationship with azula will also be touched on #and IF (big if) that can be repaired. #ANyWHO #eels tag #look your the first one of my mutuals to get their own tag #you better feel special #ly bestie :) #asks #max thinks shes relevant

hello gamers minor life update I have been doing Real bad lately so I will likely continue to be very inactive, but hey on the bright side I have been fleshing out some eternal gales lore I reworked a while back and I can happily say that Dodie no longer completely contradicts the very nature of reality in eternal gales and the fog tower™ officially has a real reason to exist again so hell yeah to that

#rat rambles #eternal gales #oc posting #this is a piece of lore I technically updated a while ago but I mostly just relocated dodie home to a different piece of worldbuilding #but now Im fleshing things out a bit more and Im so glad that I set myself up such an easy way to jump ship on the old stuff #it also makes my life easier because it means that I have an actual reason for mase to be the first person dodie encounters in person #also an actual reason to trap him at first sorry dude it adds to the suspense #longggggg story short dodie lives in the universe's core of sorts #its where all the other characters are transported to at the beginning of the story due to other stuff #I already had it as a thing that the core attempts to replicate the casts home and food and such to help maintain them #but the fog tower™ had its core echo in place since forever basically #mostly because the narrator wanted to get dodie a home set up in the core instead of having to find a way to house her in notmal society #now the tower wasnt exactly meant to be found but it still had to be real enough to actually get echoed so it was real enough to be found #hense why mase's family lives in the lower half of it #the top half is fully reserved for setting up stuff to be echoed to dodie's tower #this is mostly handled my cup aka dodie's long distance mom figure #but most of that stuff was done before dodie was properly created and as such cup had to fight for their life to figure out how to best get #this child growing up in fucked up situations as happy and stable as they could with limited budget and time #they were also dealing with doing a lot of this behind the backs of mase's parents as the two wanted them to provide just the bare basics #despite this cup managed to sneak in a shit ton more video tapes than they were supposed to and attempted to cover as much as possible #ofc dodie still ended up incredibly unstable and fucked up anways but she still loves her long distance video mom dearly #up til she was like 12 or so those tapes were the only way she could see and hear another person #but yeah in the echoed version the lower half of the tower is mostly consumed by plantlife and the such #hense why dodie avoids the area like the plague she has hashtag issues regarding plants #oh yeah Ive also been thinking abt fydd a lot lately #I have been slowly developing a bit of a side plot for him in my head that Im not 100% sure Im going to commit to but Im mivrowaving it #basically I was thinking abt each of the human casts sort of quote unquote domains are #by that I mean the whole reason they get drawn to the universe core is because theyre all sorta connected to universe functions #fydd is one of the weird ones because his place in the system is the basic software ig would be the best way to put it? #hes connected to the very base of the system that the rest of the functions are built into

some grown ass adults are so obsessed with ‘humbling’ children like girl . im begging you to consider suicide at this point. that one person who said everyone says they have childhood trauma and then treat every child in their life like dirt was so right

#there was this video on ig of a girl narrating a reddit aita story about a mom who has a very insecure about her looks 14 year old and one #time the girl asked her mom to give her her honest opinion and the mom said she’s average looking and thats fine and the girl was obviously #upset by that #and then this person in the comments . said . that it sounds #like the girl was going to school with ‘pretty girl energy’ and she got humbled and the mom wasnt wrong and im just ‘$/)2$52$2(2) #HOW DID YOU EVEN ASSUME THAT. WHY WAS THAT THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED INTO YOUR HEAD #mind you the most important part of the story was the fact that this girl is insecure and she said that kids at school bully her about her #nose. 1 + 1 is ? #like thats genuinely insane to me omfg how insane do you have to be to hear a story about a girl getting bullied because of her looks at #school be extremely insecure and your takeaway is that it was because she was arrogant and she got humbled . ABOUT A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD?????? #this is also misogyny btw don’t get me wrong but i find this incessant need to see kids humbled so common nowadays #i also saw this vid of a girl recording herself and her friend in a car because some 40 year old guy was literally banging on her car like #punching her window repeatedly and they were obviously freaked out and they kept saying we’re minors! we’re under 18! because. YEAH #and everyone in the comments was so mad and pissed off because how dare they say they’re minors like that makes them special 🙄🙄🙄 #i have to reiterate 40 year old man. doing this to some teenagers and his wife was right there yelling at the girls #KYSSSSSSSS

in my mind && in my canon, it was tyrann in control when kainé was caught masturbating by the narrator in the witch’s banquet. the shade’s possession of her was relatively new && thus he could seize control more often. however, i don’t think he had full control. kainé was there. she could see && feel what was happening. it was her eyes that stared after the narrator, forced to watch as they; a character that preached the equality and love of all mankind fled from her in disgust. it was a cruel trick on tyrann’s part && another moment solidifying to kainé the "monster" that she is.

#( 𝒘𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅𝒔𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆. ) ❝ 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚒𝚘𝚛. : headcanon / meta. #what really infuriates me about the story and kainé's story to begin with is that it's not the shade possession that makes her a “monster” #it's the fact that she possessed both male and female genitalia???? #like ol buddy narrator saw her half shade part and was like ok im a lil scared but i can do this #but takes one look at a penis and screams bloody murder #dont even get me started on tyrann's assault... wasnt the first time && sadly probably wasnt the last #tw; sa #tw; suggestive #cw; sa #cw; suggestive

I think one reason I hate the "response to a writing prompt on Tumblr" style of writing is that it's very immediately and quickly obvious where a story is going to go very quickly with "character/narrator saying one thing but feeling another" being like the max depth you can have in a story and also random ass Easy Progressive TM topics being thrown in there like "oh, this autistic kid is being treated nicely :-) because of the fae" or "This Evil Curse Person Fucks Up And/Or Isn't Evil Anymore Because Child Happens" some such shit like that. They just feel intensely saccharine and boring as fuck like you can tell in a few paragraphs if not 2 fucking line exactly what the story is, what it's leading up to, and how it ends and then we're supposed to feel good because Insert Discriminated Class In Vaguely Fictional Medieval Setting And Maybe Victorian Or Ancient Greek Times Every Now And Then Wins The Day. Give me some fucking murder or something

#i dont know enough about writing to express whats wrong with these stories #or why i sont like them #me #text #last of these i read by (insert popular writer like PenFleeced) was just like #idk. it took me longer to figure out what was happening because i thought it was gonna end in murder and i got excited #like damn you set the scene withthe probably 20th century suburban housewife infighting #told me lady B gave Lady Narrator A rat poison for her rats #and then told me Lady A made stew and mentioned the rats went missing #and then she gave the stew to Lady B!! #i thougjt it was gonna be murder #that could be rad as hell #idk what goes on in my brain its just. When rhat wasnt it and it was Oh Lady A secretly cares for Lady B also theyre both being abused #it was like a switch flipped #i think i find the idea of someone being utterly consumed by hate they whole ass poison someone #just more interesting than a WEAK escape fantasy #itd be a good short murder story and a bad romance

Why didn't we see Felicia in Security Breach Glamstars? Was she just not there, or did you not account for her at the time?

Ah yes, a loaded question. I've been putting off replying to this because it was such a good question and also you uppercutted me with it out of nowhere

Felicia has existed for a long while now (I basically decided to do an anthology series early on, but still after the original Glamstar series had already ended)

Legitimately and time wise, Felicia isnt in the original series because she didn't exist back then. I wouldnt have introduced her as a major character then anyways because she would have taken away from Momo, and I didn't want a too-many-cooks situation in a series with a bunch of main characters already (anthology its like who cares, cause theres gonna be so many here anyways)

Lore wise, Felicia isnt there because she really had no reason to be. As you'll see once Legacy comes out, she has her own shit to deal with so she wouldnt have had much of a reason to go the Pizzaplex in the first place

#but yes she wasnt in the OG series cause she didnt exist yet #shes really only important in legacy for a few reasons #one being she's the narrator #and others well #you'll have to wait and see #;) #fnaf security breach #security breach #glamstar au #glamstar fam au #fnaf #shoucan says #five nights at freddy's #glamstars legacy

twitter is the worst website bc someone will tell me i've never been abused and that i love making excuses for abusers just bc i have a different take on a fictional character than them

#certified protectcosette original #sorry bae i just dont think annabeth wasnt abused! the chases tried to help they just didnt know that her monsters under the bed were real! #a 12 year old girl talking about traumatic events from when she was 7 is not going to be a perfectly reliable narrator #she's never been to therapy she still sees it in a very simplistic 'they didnt believe me because they hate me' light #i assure you i know what abuse looks like and i've got the medical records to prove it ❤️

[princetuesday]

im so mad that tumblr's search function doesn't work at all because i am trying to find the one post i reblogged that made me realize i might be trans

#it was something like 'new pronouns just dropped' #'he' in the way you refer to a little animal whose gender you dont know #and that was it that made me think 'hey haha funny pronoun gender joke thats me' #and it wasnt another like. two months until my partner was like 'you mean like nonbinary?' and i was like what? no im not nonbinary #narrator voice: she was in fact nonbinary
