#so the writing is probably inconsistent

[dolldefaced]

going into the tags and seeing both 'this is some of the best red hood writing we've had in a long while' AND 'this is once again more garbage writing for red hood' back to back about the beast world thing is so funny

if i were new here i'd be so lost.

like it isnt new i think this happens every time there's a jason comic that isn't totally out of pocket for him, but seeing one after another a few times makes me snort

#jason todd #titans beast world world tour spoilers #what a title #dc #dc spoilers #my own opinion was eh. writing was very mid. cute puppy tho. he needs to bite more people tbh #the art fucked tho. i forgor the artist but god i loved it #i think jason just has so many inconsistent things that you could form two versions of him. wait no like actually probably more #depending on what comic you're using for your base assumptions and basis for your readings #im not poking fun at anyone i just find it gen amusing this happens like. every single time

i love steven universe future because of how they just let him be an emotionally fucked, traumatized teenage boy but its especially funny watching it right after the movie because its like

steven: CHAAANGE.... ITS GOOD TO CHANGE... YIPPEE WE ARE ALWAYS GROWING....

everyone: so true bestie [changes]

steven: i have decided to change once more. this time i Changed My Mind Everyone Stay Exactly The Same Forever Please

#wordy wendy #and hes so hypocritical too like #the gems treat him like a kid and hes like stop im grown up treat me different #but then he has a meltdown over things being different 3 episodes later #i know discoursers probably have opinions on how its inconsistent writing or smth #but to me it is so emblematic of what being in his situation would be like #a constant wrestling of emotions #contradicting wants and needs #its so perfect. mwah

dont get me wrong i love that shadows edgy explosion gun grrrrarara i think its awesome and i wish people would stop erasing all his flaws and sharp edges in retaliation to that meme culture surrounding him but my god. it really has fucked him over hasnt it

#sorry for still being on this. im just so baffled #ive gone on record saying the sonic series is so inconsistent with characterization that basically any statement is true #but i meant in regards to sonic himself. because every writer writes him differently #sega seems to have an iron fist on what shadow is allowed to say or do and it still seems like they dont fucking know what to do with him #its probably because the rivalry is super marketable so anything they can do to contrast the two is the way to go #but its SO ANNOYING ITS SO ANNOYING!!!!!! #i want to chew on wood SEGA DO U KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD FLIP THEIR FUCKING LID IF U GOT SHADOW RIGHT #PEOPLE WENT APESHIT OVER PRIME LITERALLY ONLY BC HE WASNT AN UNREASONABLE ANTAGONIST #AND THAT SHOW IS COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CONTEXT THAT THE REST OF THESERIES HAS #why am i surprised whyyyy am i surprised. why. #heliichats

Fun fact about us: we really, really like doing crossovers, whether between different Things or just between different AUs of the same Thing. We deeply enjoy throwing things into each other and seeing the relative "normal" interact, tinkering with different potential outcomes of the same general thing, fucking around with culture clash and alternate realities, and all of that fun stuff.

Unfortunately, we also get into flavors of media that isn't quite finished a lot, and we often really want to throw together AUs that we have to write ourself together with things, which means that we're nearly constantly running into the same handful of roadblocks: it's really hard to write about stuff when people have no idea what you're talking about, and it's also really hard to write about stuff when you don't know half of what's going on.

This means that a decent chunk of our writing that is finished tends to stay in drafts - fics based on information that needs to be revealed in stuff we haven't yet written, fics based on media where half of the things we need to know aren't yet revealed in canon, and similar situations easily make up our second most common category of "finished but unpublished" and "finished except for That One Thing" fic (our first most common category is "we need to come up with a decent opening and writing a good hook is hard")

This is, of course, a hell of our own creation. A problem of our own authorship, that we still consistently fail to escape because of our sense of pride and unwillingness to turn out anything that isn't at least half-decent. Similar to the way that we force ourself to reread any media that we write fic of for the sake of accuracy before we can publish it. It makes things take longer, but allows us to ensure quality - though it may hold us back from a certain degree of self-indulgence, mischaracterization is the thing that bothers us most, and if we release a misreading or mischaracterization, that'll haunt us more than any level of soul-baring ever count.

Anyways, all of this is to say that peak self-indulgence for us looks like an isekai Dungeon Meshi/Runaway to the Stars crossover where we stick a handful of characters into the dungeon and let them just kind of cope with that for the forseeable future and the only thing stopping us from doing this is a sense of pride and the fact that Runaway to the Stars doesn't actually have finished & published books right now.

#we speak #writing #no clue if thisll go in the tags for either of those pieces of media. tag search is very inconsistent on that. #if you're looking at this from a fandom tag then hi #this is the same force that keeps 99% of our hbg fic in development hell and the same thing that keeps our multichapters in limbo #if you see us say “we're writing something” and then we don't post it then theres like a 80% chance that its one of three things #either we couldn't make a decent intro we ran into a “need to post this before this” error or we ran into a missing info error #assuming that we didn't get stuck on the reread ofc #sometimes this will also make us into a massive hater because we put large amounts of effort into making things Consistent and Functional #and then we run into authors that Don't do that and we're like “what the hell dude why is your world so sloppy theres holes in here” #the problem is that we unfortunately probably thought it through more than you and now we're in the pit again #anyways. do you guys think that the dungeon could spawn monsters that are edible for talita if she got hungry enough in there #can the dungeon manufacture centaur macromolecules. could talita eat dungeon meat. could the dungeon make centaur safe meatplants #we answer this question in twenty years when rtts is done and published and we can finally write fic for it

well that was awkward

#rant in tags #i coulda sworn i told my mom i didn’t wanna go to college #apparently not #she didn’t go tho so why was she so weird about it #and my brother “oh they’ve always been inconsistent about what they wanna do with their life #like yeah #and i know im young #but can’t yall just be supportive #i just wanna get a job and publish stories #i have dreams #i have things i wanna do with my life #why would i go to college and waste my energy and MONEY #on a degree i’m probably not going to use!! #i would rather save my money to move out and write and care for myself #i just don’t think college would benefit me #my mom of all people should understand that #sorry i’m not successful like my brother is #sorry i’m not winning awards and being an adult #sorry i don’t live up to anyone’s FUCKING standards #i hardly live up to my own #i just want a future where i’m happy #and i guess academic and creative success and achievements are the only way ill have any sort of life #sorry i’m not a top student #sorry i’m not a perfect writer #sorry i’m not good enough #vent #char’s diary

#giving a mini life update #I’m gonna start this off by first apologising for being really inconsistent 💀 #I’ve just been very #I don’t really know how to explain it but I’ve just not really been myself #I guess down in the dumps #or winter blues #recently just doing daily life stuff is really hard #and I keep on thinking I’m not doing anything productive at the mo #or not doing stuff that I think ‘normal’ 18 year olds should be doing #so I’ve been beating myself up about it #and the motivation to do anything is gone #like I have no motivation to read or write or to crochet #or just do things I actually enjoy #but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things #since I’ve got some stuff I want to post like more book post before the year is finished #and also finish this book I’ve been reading for like that past month or two #but it will probably spill over into next year 💀 #gatherrambles #g/personal

"Riko was the best on our team. By far. It made sense to make him captain, but he became a vicious tyrant. His expectations were high and if we failed to meet those expectations, he berated us. Humiliated us. Occasionally, he beat us up as well," Renee said softly, leaning back in her chair.

"It was never so bad for me or Renee, but he crossed a line when he brought knives. He got them as a gift from his father and brought them everywhere with him. Unfortunately, he started to threaten the team with them, then used blackmail to keep them from reporting him," Kevin said, his eyes dark. "All he would have gotten was a warning, too. But then he brought one of the knives to a party junior year, and things... took a bad turn."

So I had a thought just now and bear with me because it's absolutely not fleshed out at all BUT

Okay so in TNG, one of the things that people make fun of a lot is how Deanna talks about that she feels empathically, right. Like "I feel pain" well great, how about being a touch more specific? Now I always had the theory that the Betazoid languages had like 20+ words for "pain" because it's a highly specific language, and when you have a people who can feel others' emotions, you're gonna end up with a metric fuckton of emotion words that confuse and distress every single non-native speaker

However

I was thinking just now about how I tend to use a lot of metaphors and similes when I'm talking about my emotions, because I'm autistic and I need to express myself as accurately as possible and the words English has for emotions are SO VAGUE that in order to paint an accurate picture, I have to ramble on about my feelings for ages. Unless I use metaphors, which are much faster and based more on vibes than anything else

So to bring this back around to Deanna. It's a thought to consider if the entire reason she used short descriptors of what she felt ("I feel pain" and the like) was because most people are incredibly impatient with long description, even if that description increases accuracy

We see it all the time in TNG with Data getting cut off, sometimes even when he's still giving actively useful information. So maybe Deanna realized that more detail on what she felt wouldn't actually be appreciated. After all, everyone always did seem more interested in things like the where and why of what she felt, so maybe more detail wasn't even necessary

#star trek #tng #deanna troi #Nic speaks #ramble more like but hey #also now that I'm thinking about it #I kinda feel like probably fandom overestimates Deanna's abilities #like maybe she actually CAN'T distinguish beyond broad strokes of emotion #who knows #the writing's pretty inconsistent with her abilities so...

on the off chance anyone on here followed me for my jonmartin fake dating au, currently standing tragically unfinished at 7 out of 8 chapters: i'm still working on the last chapter! i would love to have it up this year, but unfortunately i can't make any promises, because i've started a new medication and the side effects are wreaking havoc on my mind and body. haha isn't chronic illness fun. but rest assured the fic is the beating heart under my floorboards, and i WILL finish it one day

#i feel pretty bad about it because my update schedule has been really inconsistent for the whole fic :/// #and now the final chapter is going to be even more epically delayed than the other ones #should've probably finished the whole thing properly before i started posting it but you live and learn i guess #my chronic illness really messed with my ability to write and i hate it #like the chapter is almost done. under normal circumstances it wouldn't take me long to finish it #but it's like my brain has forgotten how to make words happen. ugh. #i don't want to let people down by making them wait so long for an update #but i also don't want to let them down by giving them a mediocre chapter y'know #if all goes well the new meds might help with both the chronic fatigue *and* the depression which would be an absolute godsend #but ngl. the side effects are rough. and they can apparently last for up to six weeks #and i've only been taking the meds for about 2 1/2 weeks so i've still got a long road ahead of me #i also started my period yesterday which certainly doesn't help lmao #delete later maybe #just needed to vent for a lil bit. and as everyone knows there's no better place to discuss your private business than tumblr dot com

boy does Fluri make me feel things. a lot of things. i love. them.

#GTF Things #sometimes I wanna just write like. this gigantic post abt them. and why their relationship is perfected in context #but with the context of all the side material too? like drama CDs and the movie and the novel #bc plot/story inconsistencies aside it all really adds up in a straight line and creates an amazing story of their relationship #and for the life of me I cannot stop thinking about how all of it adds up into this super deeply realistic relationship #like it's not idealized. it's not perfect. it's not a shiny happy little ship where everything goes perfectly #it has all the bad moments where they still love each other through it but they DO hurt each other without truly meaning to #it's just that sometimes i wanna talk abt the depth of their relationship and how it goes so much deeper than #just what we got in the game but how all of it cumulates into what we have in the game from beginning to end #and how everything in the game (JP bc the dub removed a LOT of important tone between them vocally) #does also have a full progression of their relationship that ends in their favor and probably wouldn't EVER be rocky again after that #like I think by the end of the game they've come out on top of any possibility of ever letting that happen again #the unfortunate part is really just. idk who cares abt reading ship essays or who cares abt Fluri #except like idk five people LMAO. I know I'm kinda new here and don't know many ppl but #I legitimately don't know many ppl who care abt the ship at least particularly deeply as an OTP #but narratively speaking they are literally one of my favorite ships ever bc of how deep the content for them goes

current level of boredom while being mildly poorly (=not poorly enough to just lie down doing nothing but poorly enough to not have the energy to do anything thought-consuming): tagging all my shippy asks/posts ✨💅

ps. if anyone knows how to use the mass post editor to actually mass-edit tags in a convenient way I'd appreciate the help 🙏 like, idk if it's even possible to find all the posts I have tagged as x and edit the tags of all those posts at once? 🤔 so far I only know you can find tagged posts on your own blog by adding /tagged/x at the end of your url and then editing the tags manually one post at a time 🥲

#all these years on the hellsite and i still haven't figured out how to use the mass post editor for anything useful 💀 #anywayyy literally no one cares but the tags i've been using so far are: #olliallu ollixalluxjoel joonasxniko joelxolli joonasxolli #i also have previously tagged some random posts as joeleksi #yes it's very inconsistent but i had already tagged posts as olliallu but then i realised joonasniko looks kinda dumb 😪 #so joonasxniko it is i guess 😐 funnily enough olliallu looks alright?? but i kinda also want to start using ollixallu from now on #because now it just bothers me so much that one of them is diffferent in style 😭😂😭 #i think i've tagged shippy posts with them as joonas/niko before but i'm gonna have to change that 😑 #since the / does not work that well in tagging ugh #i just started so i've only managed to tag about a fraction of the asks 💀 #man i wish i had had a proper tagging system for asks from the beginning #i never saw the point and idk if there's any point to tagging them afterwards either but ehh i can't write fic so what else should i do #also idk how much sense any of those posts make ''out of context'' but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe at some point this might come in handy #(also also yes i can't write fic i don't have the energy to concentrate and anyway i'll probably need to start it all over again 😩)

I mentioned this briefly last night in my last big post so here it is: The Ashe&Grey to Kei&Go parallel meme. I would’ve done a compare and contrast chart instead of listing out all the parallels but last time I did it the resolution was even worse then these 💀 besides just pointing out the similarities is funnier since I’d say overall their vastly different characters- but these baseline similarities I can’t help to notice even if I doubt it was a reference on ZXs part to Armageddon. Moral of the story they'd all be besties probably. (Also I’m going to ramble in the tags once more-)

#meg text #getter robo armageddon #mega man zx #shitpost #I actually did do art once of grey and ashe in go and keis clothes but never bothered to post it on my art blog #even though I posted it on my Twitter art alt which is just the same fucking thing 💀 my inconsistency between the two is hilarious #also to clarify if anyone saw the fic post no this will not be mentioned in the crossover even if it would be a funny angsty thing to write #it’s not one of *those* crossovers and none of these characters will be prevalent (even if I can say one of these duos does appear) #but if I ever wrote a normal ass ZXA fic where grey and ashe both existed I’d have to NOT give Grey Gos “I will protect you” complex 💀 #Grey is more personified then Go so it be less of a “it’s my objective” thing but baby boy doesn’t need to risk it all for his sister #especially when they both could kick ass together bc I will always roll with the hc if they both exist in a timeline they share Model A #I will never understand how the fuck Ashe is Albert’s daughter though bc its so confusing if she’s his descendant or not #I cannot tell if it’s a mistranslation thing or if Albert contradict himself I’d have to look at the dialogue again bc it’s been awhile #(I play ZX religiously I just can’t remember the last time I looked at all the dialogue- especially advent) #I guess it’s better then having a gender crisis like Kei over there though #Oh and I may have stretched it a bit with Kei’s meme bc it was never said if she *wasnt* going to pilot a getter #and like shin dragon whole ordeal was it needed to scan Kei’s dna to further its evolution which feels like it leads into her piloting it #but from wtf I grasp about Saotome’s questionable parenting is he probably raised her as a boy bc he wanted her to be a researcher #and not a pilot #the tables fucking turned there LMAO #Oh and machine in the meme getter wise refers to both shin dragon and shin (for zx it’s clearly just A)

hmm okay I just saw someone mention collei was abandoned as a baby and got so confused bc i thought she was handed over to the fatui as like an 8 y/o. turns out it was bc I remembered the panel on the left more than the panel on the right. but the fact that they seem to just blatantly contradict each other lol

#im guessing that she was handed over as an infant but her family kept in regular touch? until they pried a little too closely..? #I need to reread the webtoon in its entirety tbh #but hm. i think this might just a plot inconsistency Lol #i mean you can probably conjure up something plausible like colleis parents not relinquishing custody over her until she was older #bc the fatui likely wouldnt want to deal with something as labor intensive as taking care of an infant #but. its obvious that the webtoon just isnt that good #WHICH IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE COLLEIS WRITING IN IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER IN COMPARISON TK THE GAME.... #or rather. i wouldnt say its Better but its definitely more substantial

[mortellanarts]

I hadn't read the ztd prologue in a while but I'm midway through writing my fic that could benefit from that knowledge so I finally got around to it with some of my friends and I firstly did not recall Sigma losing his cool that quickly but also the only canonical interaction this Sigma has with this Akane being "Swear future you will not lie to past me about how the end of the world goes down" and her essentially lying about not lying is so good and Phi being just as mad at him as Akane but otherwise staying off to the side oough the dynamics at play there

#because! I was fact checking on the wiki and it indicated that they were simply inconsistent with this information #as in she never gives the details away despite her own memories having left D-COM intact #but I did already think she probably just decided to lie by omission about the decision game #but this really did make it feel like that was the intention all along! #so yeah I'm glad about figuring that out logistically speaking it was bothering me while writing to not be sure #she was about to cry from how Sigma was talking to her too... that one fanart I made of her with big weepy eyes....... #stop bullying the criminal mastermind she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone #it works for the angle I'm coming from writing her though that she's feeling the pressure of not knowing everything™ #and suddenly having to prevent a whole apocalypse after she just started to have a life again™ #Sigma this girl is the best liar of the series do you really expect her to not take the chance if she has to like it isn't second nature #underrated dynamic they're the worst coworkers and no one actually respects one another #they're so funny to me they're sooo at odds while working towards the same goal but no one really got a choice to #and in the end the real time loop was the friends we made along the way and the world really only ended because she got them to prevent it #''oh but there's also the fanatic-'' shhh.... #zero escape #ztd #zero escape spoilers #vlr spoilers #sigma klim #akane kurashiki #not art #writing

working on some lisa stuff and like. no wonder birdie can't budget or plan easily. how do you plan for this, ESPECIALLY as a single parent, ESPECIALLY as one with a seriously ill kid who might require you to take sudden and unexpected absences

#i know there's full time vs. part time but either way the hours seem inconsistent and a little nuts #full time employment would have gotten him the chance to join the union which DOES have some really good benefits #(part time would too in the modern day but idk about the 90s) #buuuut i can only find modern union contracts not ones from the 80's-90's #and the one i found implied that coverage for dependants was only won after 2018? so the hall boys were NOT included #again i might be wrong i don't have a good head for contract jargon!!! #i can also see birdie being part time at least occasionally because even with PTO he probably wouldn't have the time to take care of joey's #health if he was a full time worker-- even when joey WASN'T in the hospital. when he WAS... hoo boy #you never know how long that's gonna last and this just does not seem like a job with much flexibility or consistency #and ESPECIALLY especially when the boys were really young and maybe weren't both in school yet #sorry here's a glimpse of what like 20% of fic writing looks for me. btw #the amount of stuff i have researched about colorado custody agreements and victorian ableism for my two current fics is a lil absurd #also this is really hard to research because all the articles i get are like 'can my employer dock my pay?' #like no i'm looking for infor about DOCK WORKERS not DOCKING WORKERS
