[the-sage-libriomancer]

some stories are so tightly written that you don't need to expand upon anything because they've already plugged every hole. some stories are so loosely written that they're unable to hold anything substantial in place and are about as interesting to poke as a glob of jelly. and in that sweet spot between airtight and jellyboned, when stories have lots of interesting characters and ideas but don't utilize them to the fullest, when thoughts are half-finished and sometimes contradictory, when they try to fit all the cool ideas into a coherent story and end up leave messy plot threads and broken pieces with jagged edges strewn about the floor, when even the creators throw up their hands and say "hell if i know" to over half the questions asked - those are the sort of stories that spawn the most beautiful fandom ecosystems.

So much BTS lore feels like fanfiction and I can't get over it

Two of the members hated each other at first. They argued a lot and one time, they threw folded clothes at each other and the member who folded them had to come scold them. And now they keep reminding everyone how long they've known each other for. They wrote a song together where they said that "respect is a higher tier than love" and then called each other "my respect."

The smartest member of the group (one the previous two morons btw) didn't know how to tie his shoelaces until highschool. He doesn't eat seafood because he loves crabs. He's a literal geniues and he's so clumsy and such a dork (and I relate so deeply). And that body, guys, I'm telling you. This whole guy was made by a fanfic author.

Their company was near bankrupcy when they debuted. One of the members, who was getting offers from so many other companies, joined this one because he admired another member who was already a part of it. When these two met for the first time, member two was only wearing underwear and member one said "wow, thighs."

Another member came to an audition, not to audition himself but to support a friend. He was the only person from that audition round to get in. The friend did not.

Another member, who was studying to be an actor, was street cast on a bus.

One of them lost confidence and tried to leave before the debut, but another convinced him to come back, because they "needed him."

The whole industry hated them when they debuted and now they're arguably the best kpop group worldwide. (Arguably, read: argue with the wall)

(Add your own pls, I want to make a collection from this)

desmond & friends modern day assassin sequences…..I miss you……..

#specifying ‘and friends’ because I hate William Miles with my whole heart and he is not included in this sentiment #anyway vaguely this is nyc so the cops are probably wasting taxpayer money by fucking around in the subway #komiks tag #assassins creed #shaun hastings #desmond miles #this is almostttttttttttt shaundes #but I didn’t continue the dialogue far enough to make it really flirty. There’s a hint of flirting happening. #someday I’ll have to actually do a longer form fan comic to land my favorite ship AND my favorite narrative elements in the same #go (the horror and dialogues on free will and what we owe each other past/present/future & also what failure means AND-) #this ties into my second favorite relationship dynamic: clay and desmond. obvious. clay might live in my head rent free a little more than #Desmond does because that end of game reveal in AC1 is a top 10 games experience to me and I think about it all the time #ANYWAY IM OFF TOPIC NOW. desmond picks up snacks at a bodega on his way back

Reaper Man / The Shepherd’s Crown / Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

#inspired by that post about terry giving us so many frameworks to think about death #discworld #reaper man #the shepherd's crown #going postal #* #feel free to add on other instances of this theme this was just off the top of my head

We came to a young world. We came to a world of raw, elemental wonder. Of chaos and exultant passion. Of energy vaster, and more potent than anything we beheld in the cosmos... It doesn’t seem like it’s random or chaos. It just seemed like potential.

#critical role #criticalroleedit #critteredit #aabria iyengar #brennan lee mulligan #matthew mercer #cr exu #cr calamity #cr2 #cr3 #basil.gif #long post #it's about magic it's about potential it's about life it's about stories it's about exandria being a beacon it's about let's do it again #i mean it's also my thoughts on how the luxon maybe made leylines when they impacted/scattered #+ how cool that is when u examine the magic of exandria especially when u consider. luxon = leylines = ether = dunamancy = magic #(some quotes that Almost made it in were matt saying that all magic basically falls under dunamancy + the description of ether) #not to mention the tharizdun connections of a being of elemental chaos & what that could mean for the relationship between the luxon + them #and ruidus and exandria. i also have so many ashton thoughts re: elements + divine + being a fucking beacon but that's for another set lmao #also aabria's!!! dark motes of potential!! what's that about!! i gotta rewatch exu sdfjkh this was just everything off the top of my head #also real spiral shit here but the first person to officially find a beacon post calamity being named leylas.

collection

#sorry i saw someone say sonic and tails dont see eachother as family at all again and it annoyed me #this isnt even all of the times theyve said it this is just a bunch of stuff i remembered off the top of my head #and also sonic has called tails little bro SO many times across different media that it would be impossible to track them all down #but i tried to include stuff from different media to show that this isnt a thing thats exclusive to one continuity or one period of time #because those are arguments i see people use to prove theyre not brothers #but even if it WAS something that is mentioned a lot in earlier sonic media and not so much in recent stuff. #not mentioning something as often anymore doesnt automatically make it non canon?? especially if theres no new info contradicting it #sonic frontiers spoilers #the sage picture probably looks irrelevant to people who havent played frontiers #but she was talking about sonic and tails there which is why i included it #also i put that aosth clip instead of screenshots from it because i didnt think a couple screenshots would do it justice #you really have to see the whole thing

Actually just curious :]

SYNESTHESIA is characterized as a 'cross wiring' of senses in your brain

for example

tasting words

Numbers and letters having personalities

and having a consistent link between colors and numbers/letters etc. This can be fully visual (seeing aura simmialr to migrains when hearing noises) or internal (imagining bright colors or shape/ number associations to things in your 'minds eye')

Diffrent days of the week having a strong color connection

Alternatively days of the week and calender months having a specific mental layout or 'shape' and days of the week and month having a specific place om this mental map that shifts depending on where you are in time, simmilar to a clock or time table

I'm also curious on how this effects you so you can leave that in the reblogs if your comfortable!

For me personally my synesthesia effects my writing because I'll often mix up letters and numbers ( I write down 4 alot instead of G and vice versa, I also mix up 4 and 7 because they 'look' the same, I'm wondering if this is some sort of dyscalculia though, the same thing happens with A and 8)

#dustbunnies.txt #polls #synesthesia #autism #actually autistic #adhd #you guys can do your own research #but personally i have grapheme color synesthesia and music/color/shape association. idk what that about lol #off the top of my head

[torturedspoetsdepartment]

when you love a fictional character so much that your chest hurts when you think about them. yeah.

#hmm who could this possibly be about #well off the top of my head we got #joel miller #ellie williams #miles morales #gwen stacy #THE BRAINROT IS SEVERE #mine

RETURN TO MONKE (PUBERTY EDITION)

MK’s monkey form doesn’t feel right to me so i wanted to break up his transformation into stages. Maybe as he learns to accept that side of himself it becomes part of him, instead of changing between human and monkey randomly (which is probably painful). Love yourself, NOW!!!

@zymstarz im tagging you for FULL MONKE

#ALSO BECAUSE. THAT BOY NEEDS A NOSE #i like the idea of MK constantly flashing between his monkey and human forms as some sort of internal conflict or identity crisis #and he can’t hold his monkey form for very long soo. I’m going to put way too much thought into it and say its some sort of repression #also I made the hair on the sides of his face more attached or growing on the cheeks so it kind of frames it #maybe it’s because his design is so top heavy on his head and that’s why the sideburns feel wrong to me #like it’s fine with Swk and macaque because their hair is more like a tuft. but MKs hair is longer it just feels less balanced shape wise #I also don’t see his tail being very strong right off the bat because it’s. a new limb so the muscle has to be underdeveloped imo #I’m still a firm believer in the face mark XP system though. that is his Minecraft experience bar fight me #ALSO ALSO going back to him flashing between human and monkey. I just like this idea because to complement that idea of identity crisis #like think about it. if he comes to accept this new part of himself he doesn’t have to decide between one or the other I guess? like he #gets used to exploring this part of his identity. also it’s like Pokémon evolution lol #my art #myart #doodles #lego monkie kid #lmk #monkie kid #lmk season 4 spoilers #lmk s4 spoilers #lmk season 4 #lmk s4 #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lego monkie kid fanart #lmk fanart

Yknow what I hate about being in fandom? The fact that I know in ten, not even- FIVE years, I’m gonna be that bitch who’s still talking about it like it’s some new thing because I still love it. I’m gonna be all “Remember when the series finale came out? Man, feels like it was yesterday! And that one twist? What a reveal, am I right! Yeah, a lot of us already theorized it based on the foreshadowing, but it was still so fun to see it be canonized. Not to mention all the amazing fan art and fanfics that were made when it was airing!” And everyone else is gonna be like “ok gramps, let’s get you back to bed.”

thinking about the phycological torture qFit is going to be put through for the next few weeks, like

He's in a rough state already, head ringing and legs probably shattered from his fall. He's bleeding and barely conscious. He drags himself along the ground, a flesh hand already grazed and a metal hand already dented. He reaches a ledge. Peers over. In the dark he can just about make out the shapes, but the smell and the twisting in his gut is undeniable. Rot. The rotting of bodies. The rotting of years old corpses, mangled, crumpled, starved, crushed, emaciated. He thinks of the creature's words. I had friends once, they're still here on this island. Do you want to see them?

Against his own will, he pictures Ramón lying at the bottom of the cave; sniffer teddy discarded a foot away and covered in mud, comforting the corpse. He pictures Pac; all rib bones and hollow cheeks, in the new once clean clothes he loved to show off. He pictures Sunny. He pictures Tubbo. He pictures Phil. He pictures Mike. He pictures Bagi. He shuts his eyes and moves to leave, but his body is broken. He can't escape this place, and he won't be saved. They won't think to look for you here.

#i know those Madagio are quotes aren't exactly accurate i was doing this off the top of my head okay #qsmp #fitmc #Madagio be like “oh so you wanna lose your edge and disobey my orders about attachments? That's it young man; two weeks in the corpse room”

The way love is such a prevalent theme throughout jjk has me in shambles

especially because it's not even a "love saves the day" kind of thing no love literally doomed some of these people. It's why Riko didn't merge with tengen, it's why Gojo couldn't kill Geto the first time, it's why Kenjaku was able to take over Geto's body, it's why Yuuta cursed Rika, it's why Gojo got sealed, it's why Maki massacred the Zen'in, it's why Toji spiraled like almost every pivotal point in the story can be linked to someone whose love for another resulted in catastrophe

Gojo was right that love is the most twisted curse of all

#and the most damning part is that the majority of those times are because of satosugu #kenjaku would have never gotten geto's body if gojo had parted with it properly #gojo would have never been sealed if he wasn't so in love with geto and shocked when he saw him #posts #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #satosugu #yuuta #maki #toji #kenjaku #geto #gojo #jjk analysis #jjk meta #these are all literally off the top of my head and im tipsy if i really thought about it i know i could think of more

you know when you’re watching a show and you just see the moment when a non-canon ship is born and know the fandom is gonna take it and run

#miraculous ladybug #this is about kitty noire x scarabella in the new ep #but honestly this applies to SO many ships & fandoms #atla #aot #zukka #zukki #zukka is literally the entirety of the boiling rock #and zukki is specifically that scene where chit sang says ‘hey fellas look at your girlfriend’ to the both of them #like off the top of my head the first encounters/ship moments that stick out to me: #zoenette #tyzula #eruri #(<- except that’s ones canon fight me) #marigami #lukloe #zutara #eremin #hitchannie #jeanmarco #i feel like id be here all day if i listed them all #but it’s all in the SUBTEXT #just those moments… u know…
