I will say that re comments and fic authors that even if someone seems popular or well established or you read something and think well surely they Know X was good or oh other people commented so I don't have to

Any author will treasure comments and hearing that someone liked something will always mean a lot more than me being like well I think I'm good at x but I have no idea how it landed or what really stuck out to people or anything of the sort because my view of my own writing is so different from the audience's and more comments are always welcome

So if you don't want to comment because you think we already know (we don't) or we're scary (we aren't we are begging for ppl to leave comments even if just a sentence fragment) or you think we'd be annoyed (where did this idea come from???) Please know we want to hear it

Especially with the ao3 kudos bot going around not even kudos act as a gauge for how well something went over with people

Your comment is worth 100 kudos go forth and make some ppl's days if they made yours

#ao3 #fanfic #ive been so lucky re engagement w a few of my fics in particular but general psa there is no author who Doesnt Not want comments

Been having some thoughts

I think Makarov is an interesting villain. I would very much like to write him and explore him as a character. At the same time, I'm acutely aware of the circumstances regarding his motivations and fictional context that are mirrored by current world events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Makarov is an ultranationalist. In the previous games he nuked cities, massacred civilians, committed atrocities to achieve his goals. These things are inherent to his character, just as they are to Graves, who mirrors American troops committing war crimes against civilians in foreign operations, and Valeria, who represents the devastation of drug cartels.

However, that is not to say that these characters shouldn't be written for and explored. At the end of the day they are fictional characters, and this is fandom. I cannot stop anyone from writing whatever they want, I can only make them aware of the real world background of these characters, and ensure there is a distinction to be made from their fictional contexts to reality. Yes, I write for Graves and Valeria. Does that mean I support US sponsored war crimes? Or drug cartels? Of course not. In the same way that I write for Price, who is not above using women and children as coercive interrogation tactics, and refuse to respect his methods. All of the characters in CoD are complicit in violence, some more than others, and I think it's really important to remember that these games are in fact war propaganda.

Writing for these characters is absolutely acceptable, because they are fictional. However, being sensitive to how their contexts mirror real life, and not romanticizing their motivations or acts, is also key in exploring them. People will disagree with how you do this, and they have the right to their own opinions and interpretations. Providing your works with tags and filters allows them to avoid the content they don't want to see, and allows you to do the same. There are things I don't want to see for Makarov, just as there are things I don't want to see for Graves, Valeria, Price, or other characters. I know some people don't want to see things I write, and they are free not to read them. All I can do is remain respectful of the way I approach things, and remember that these games are based off real world events that have caused violence, because it is war propaganda. I'm here for the fictional setting because I think it is interesting purely within a fictional context, and writing for that does not mean I support those real world settings.

In short: write and let write, be aware and respectful of real world connotations, and provide ways for people to avoid your work is they don't want to see it.

#Not adding tags to this in case it develops into a THING #These are just my thoughts and not a PSA or anything #In short #writing villains does not make you a villain #in the same way that writing for military men does not mean you support the military industrial complex #and if it does it means you've fallen for the propaganda and you might want to re-examine yourself #Just remember to draw the line between fiction and reality #and allow others a way to filter your works if they don't want to see it

Lucy was really tired, and we intended to creep off to bed as soon as we could. The young curate came in, however, and Mrs. Westenra asked him to stay for supper. [...] I think that some day the bishops must get together and see about breeding up a new class of curates, who don’t take supper, no matter how they may be pressed to, and who will know when girls are tired.

Poor Mina keeps trying to be this super competent adult, untouched by the hardship of everything while she's like, twenty, carrying all the weight herself and keeping everything inside.

But she pretty much let herself be a bit angry in her blog. This is the politest "I wished that cleric would just sod off and go home, I haven't slept in 17 bloody days!" she could muster.

overview cont. i guess lmao. no one asked but its been something in the back of my mind for a while now & i got an anon tonight telling me i come off intimidating and i feel the need to just. make note of some things so that hopefully if anyone feels a certain way with how i run this blog then like. know and understand both my side as well as that my dms / disc is open for anyone to pop into -- just obv depends on the headspace at the time.

i know this is long & am sorry if it doesnt make sense but. just setting it gently out there.

but, again, my disc ( same as my url ) is open for any mutual. its open to shoot the shit. open for plotting. open for memes. what have you. i may not always get to every message. i may not be in the headspace for certain things or certain energies. but its open for anyone as long as we are mutuals & if handles are different between here & disc then i just get a heads-up abt who you are so i know lmao

likewise, i am fairly fucking slow writing-wise and alot of that is because of offsite issues chipping into me but also because most, if not all, of the things i DO have in the inbox or drafts are from my affiliates at this time ( tho i do have some more from the archive i need to move over from a couple people ). alot of my spoons and drive to write and post is because of the dynamics and plotting built between our muses. im not a blog centered on plotting but, it does help to have a better idea on how to navigate between muses c: esp for those technically outside of my kiddos' texas canon obviously. that being said, anyone is welcome to like any inbox calls i put out there. and my inbox is always open and accepting, even if i havent reblogged prompts in a while -- i have my tag linked on my pinned and its available always & for whomever. it just comes with the understanding that i may take a while to respond to them & they may not get as expansive as some of my posts can get with my affiliates; which again, is just simply from how much we've been building together that helps with that!

on that note. my connections with my texas pals are very dear to me. both ic & ooc. as i noted in my overview post, i talk about the dynamics we've built openly and freely here because theyre so integral to my portrayals. they & their kiddos have my entire heart and i unapologetically love having fun with them and going on tangents with them and bouncing thoughts off of each others posts on the dash.

my experiences in other corners of tumby rp have not been particularly kind. and its been a long time since ive felt comfortable especially ooc with writing partners. and i understand if i may come across closed off or intimidating or unapproachable. i understand if i also come across partial to them / play favorites because frankly... i am. i do. thats because they've built bonds not just between characters but also with me. ill be very transparent and say that i am very particular in who i get close with and that translates into here too. but thats also just something that easily can also happen with literally anyone. again i do understand if i come across closed off in any sense but genuinely? im not scary and i have options open for continuing to grow more connections with people c: theyre open always. what im not going to do, however, purely out of personal experience is chase after interactions. the last fandoms i wrote in i did so and it wore me down into my last hiatus. i will show equal enthusiasm to whats given. but i wont fish for it, either. its just not my cup of tea.

i like to think im fairly patient and understanding in a lot, probably moreso than i should in some cases -- sincerely though if theres issues know that im fine with it being brought up. but im also not going to be welcoming nor tolerate my boundaries being disregarded or disrespected, im already dealing with that with an offsite friend. not dealing with it here. i do not like feeling so uncomfortable existing on my own blog or in my own disc. and i get that already with my personal disc & this offsite friend in particular. im not dealing with it here too.

which on that note, i also wont be receptive with issues regarding what i post, what i talk about, who i write with, who i choose as affiliates or mains or w/e. my blog & my dash are my safe & comfort zones and these muses often help me alot with navigating when my headspace is at a fucked up level. if any of that is a concern yes youre welcome to come to me and talk it over but end of the day? my comfort & mental state is a priority to me. if thats ever an issue i truly would just recommend you do what you feel is best for you. everyone existing on this hell-plane are entitled on curating their space in whatever manner they see fit.

again. i promise im not scary. im not an ass. but i do curate my space to be in my best interest and at my age & experience across the 10+ yrs ive been rping on and off here, ive seen alot, heard alot, experienced alot. i do apologize however if i do come across unapproachable or intimidating. i do apologize if i seem closed off to only a select few. i dont mind if you follow / we're mutuals solely just to keep up with what i write! thats completely okay too and i thank those who are <3 but if i seem unapproachable i literally just gently gesture again to my disc or prompts tag etc! i welcome any to get to know myself or my muses. regardless of how much time has passed since following one another. just again, comes with the understanding that my social battery & headspace often does work against me. and thats not personal against anyone, ever.

#[ 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘦. ] ── * psa. #im hoping this all reads fine and w/e cause im fist-fighting with a headache rn but. #just to hopefully idk. make a few things known? i guess? transparency a bit? again i promise im not a scary person lol but i am just. #careful with alot of avenues. and i get this post is also fairly rigid in tone most of the way but im. pretty tuckered out by alot #and being known as like... intimidating is something i have personal issues with re: old friends offsite. so. trying to state what i mean #as direct hopefully as possible.

[borealtwilight]

with the fact that there's a new swtor update dropping soon (i cannot recall when), i would like to state the following:

please, for the love of everything good in this world, please tag your story spoilers. not everyone progresses through the game at the same rate. not everyone wants to be spoiled for content ahead of time.

do your fellow swtor tumblr users a kindness. it only takes two seconds to add a tag such as "swtor update spoilers" or "7.3 spoilers", or something like that. no matter which part of the story you're referring to — this encapsulates both main story content, and side story content, like those companion dates we've all eagerly consumed crumbs of information about — please, do not spoil it for others.

#swtor #natty rambles #i know for a fact that i do NOT want to be spoiled for the comp side stories in particular #and i dont wanna be spoiled for whatever will happen re: arcann #thank you <3 #beep beep :: psa

friendly reminder that if you've responded to any meme or starter i've sent you, vice versa, within the last three+ months, you will very likely get a reply. if we started a mini thread and i have not responded for a time, you will still get a reply. if you have sent me something recently, and i find that thing to be reasonable and fun or compelling, you will get a reply. given you are a rp blog with writing on it, you get a reply, and you get a reply, and you get a reply, and you—r patience is appreciated. and lastly, even if i don’t reply to one thing, i do my best to acknowledge, and will usually respond to some other thing some other time. 🤙

Hi, small PSA, I am not shy for blocking people over what they do to others, I do not care if we have a lot plotted or we share lore with each other a lot, first foremost I care about how one treats others, ofc I will always critically think about a situation before I act but do not assume I will prioritize someone whose actions are unkind because we write a lot, I don't care if I don't know the person wronged, I will stick to my morals and principles.

#Ooc ☆talk☆ #Ooc ☆psa☆ #I ended up blocking someone for this sort of thing today and I am willing to again@ #Lmk if this should be tagged as a vague given that anyone who is meant to be able to see this thorugh is not being talked about I think we' #Re good in that

While it’s important to consider that abuse can be physical and/or emotional, I think it’s also good to remember:

A tense period with someone does not necessarily mean abuse

A friendship that’s turned sour or become emotionally draining does not necessarily mean abuse

A hella painful falling out does not necessarily mean abuse

Unkind or hateful words does not necessarily mean abuse

Interactions that directly cause someone pain does not necessarily mean abuse

I want to be clear: These can be part of an abusive experience. This is neither excusing nor downplaying bad actions. It’s important to know these can be red flags and indicators for abuse. Furthermore, a person’s intentions do not determine whether or not they’re an abuser.

My point is that a relationship with miscommunications, frustrations, sour moments, etc. is not necessarily abusive. I feel like lots of posts equate conflict with abuse, tensions with abuse, strained relations with abuse. It’s not that cut and dry. The bar isn’t set that low. Not all periods of pain and toxicity are abuse! They’re still unfun, they’re still bad, but abuse is a specific experience! It’s good to recognize strained periods happen even in the best relationships, and that there’s a difference between that and the cycle of abuse, the pattern of abuse, the impacts of abuse.

Relationship bad =/= abuse

Or, all abusive relationships are bad, but not all bad relationship experiences are abuse.

If you default to calling all uncomfortable interactions abuse, you’re going to miss opportunities of personal growth and you’re going to lack wisdom identifying how to handle these interactions.

#technically this is about me seeing a post re: a movie that interprets a strained relationship as abuse even though it's not #anyway it's a good general PSA and I hope the nuance comes out #I'm too tired to talk about what abuse *IS* but hopefully people will read the message and not strawman this #though this is tumblr sooooOoOoo #anyway I love y'all and none of this is intended to be aggressive #unless you want to call it aggressive love #(and this includes an intention to be kind and patient with the post I'm indirectly 'responding' to) #I get so worried for y'all when you look at any bad or strained relationship and go to the extreme word 'abuse' to describe it #instead of look at the world with nuance and all the variations that can happen in unpleasant interactions #I hope I don't sound forceful or 'i know everything'ish about that 'cause I don't mean it that way

can people in this fandom stop writing things in giant-ass text i feel like i'm in kindergarten

#i have every v*rian tag i can think of blocked so i found out abt this thru someone else lmao #and genuinely while the incident the psa is referring to is objectively demented/cruel - the rallying cry mega text is bizarre to me #also tldr for non Tengled fans the showrunner pulled a cruel prank on a member of the crew re: their fave char. childish and demented. #im just mumbling under my breath #xangoeswah

I've been approached by labels and distributors over the past year in regards to my music, but I turned them down because I felt like it wasn't the right opportunity for each one. However, I've been contacted recently by a new startup label that focuses on female and queer artists, and they're interested in putting out a couple of my releases. I've already said yes. More details coming soon!

#it's probably going to be uneasy tales and a re-release of ngehh #not sure yet #but i'll announce it here when details get finalized #psa

yoooo if i’d have known drawing with pressure was SO MUCH FASTER than without then i mighta invested years ago 🤔 anyway a LONG overdue doodle inspired by this post but like....i also had a few concepts of all 4 lords along the way that imma put under the cut

pirate au ig

(this is probably already done idc my ignorance means it’s original to me)

Heisenberg: gigantic steel dreadnought/frigate. Self-sustaining, can remain at sea for years, takes shipwrecks and the dead into its hidden bowels to empower itself. Watch for black fumes in the sky

Dimitrescu: 16th/17th/whatever century they were born in galleon-style ship, famous for being a getaway for women on land in dire straits. Rules over tropical waters aggressively. Signalled by the sea turning red

Few have seen the ship of Beneviento. Some say it's jet black, probably no larger than a yacht. Some say it’s a sizable brig run by a crew not of flesh but of wood and hinges. In either case, she always appears in mist; don't trust any area infamous for mirages

Moreau has less a ship, and moreso wears a marshy island with a solitary, broken lighthouse. This is actually the biological shell of a leviathan, who uses it as a lure to the desperate or brave. Thankfully, he's relatively easy to outsmart. The sky rains acid in warning of him

And fuck MM she doesn't get shit lol

I know the fandom (sighs in the irony) likes to make assumptions on if Remy or Rogue is your fav, or if you ship Romy, well then you must be a cis woman. My middle name may as well be Morph. I'm nonbinary AF. I only use they/them and I do not prefer to be referred to as 'girl', even if you mean it in a neutral way. Thank you all for respecting that!
