Oh, I'm sure this chapter won't end up nearly as long as the last chapter, I say to myself. Surely I've learned from my experiences, I say. Totally can keep the word count under control, I tell myself, as I put on my clown nose and makeup.

#answers #Around 12k in this chapter and it's not done yet #Last one was 16k and I can FEEL this one pulling at the leash wanting to outdo it #This is just me complaining #I got stuck for a bit then realized I why I was stuck; the scene I had in mind was bad and dumb #The new scene is ALSO dumb but in a very fun way that I hope people will like #Slowly getting to the end here but it'll be a bit before I have a draft #Yes this is Cult AU again

Wanting a QPR is so weird because you basically want a bff premium (my experience, different for everyone ofc!) but explaining that to anyone allo is so weird and complicated so like you probably need someone aroace but that's so rare to find if you actually plan on like living together and stuff and then out of that already incredibly limited pool of people you have to find someone you actually like. Obviously it's possible. But damn is it a struggleeeee

being a tiktok editor is so funny cus you'd think that making a 23 second video with very minimal effects wouldnt take that long and then next thing you know it's almost 6 in the morning, and you're going asleep mentally tired as all hell with the same few seconds of a song stuck in your head because it's been the only thing you've heard for what feels like an eternity

#and then you wake up #and the video only has like 20 views #because algorithms suck #editing #video editor #this is just me complaining

can ticketmaster get their act together and send out the emails so we know if we're wait-listed or getting a code, some of us are very tired and have work tomorrow

#the turtle speaks #this is just me complaining #at least i talked to the doctors office today and they have sent a refill for my prescription so one thing went right today

Concussions are so fun. I'm currently half asleep in the urgent care because of my mutinous body and the bludgeoning I received at the end of my gym teacher's wayward volleyball. 10/10 would do again, I think I'm possibly loopy. Also on top of that my ADHD is very confused because I COULD to buy hyperactive but I can't. My normally fast paced thoughts are old and sluggish and I'm FUCKING DIZZY.

Outrageous that my body doesn't have quarantine zones set up so every time theres an ittly bitty little virus it has to fucking pan-sear my entire brain to get rid of it

#i know it does and the fever is what happens when that doesnt work out #this is just me complaining #my head hurts very much

So, the mom's group that I am in is going to host a murder mystery party. I'm helping plan it , and I suggested doing a fairy tale one, and got told no because there might be magic in it... ... 😕 Also, this was one of the suggestions that the leader who said no sent to me initially! 🤦‍♀️Why would you dangle a carrot and then take it away?

the one thing i do miss in the re-recordings is the raw emotion

i’m of the opinion that barbatos is gonna have to merge the timelines somehow. because at this point in nightbringer, there’s no way solomon and mc haven’t altered the timeline significantly.

like some events you can excuse, like them taming cerberus. because in the present timeline, they’re already considered the seven rulers, so we know that they already tamed cerberus at some point without MC’s help. maybe MC made it happen sooner than it was supposed to, but still, important thing is it happened eventually. RAD being announced is another one, because we assume levi eventually got on board with it without MC’s help, cos obviously RAD exists in obey me.

but there was no way that solomon’s plan for MC to reforge pacts with everyone would have worked without messing up the timeline. because everyone knows demons can’t forge pacts with each other, and diavolo is able to detect lies (although he doubts himself at first bc how weird MC’s presence is). so, MC would have needed to somehow make a pact with belphie, without outing themselves as a human, which is impossible for the above reasons.

and eventually, when MC does make a pact with belphie, that inevitably fucks up the timeline, because that would mean that belphie’s feelings have changed regarding humans, and his whole rebellion toward Lucifer and Diavolo wouldn’t have happened, all before the original obey me’s storyline.

#and solomons not fucken dum like he should know this #he even says to mc himself: ‘im surprised u held this long before diavolo found out’ #like. meaning he hadnt truly expected mc to get thru all these pacts before being found out #hes cooking some shit and its nasty as usual! #jun plays nightbringer #this is just me Complaining

today in "DDD drives me crazy"

We know the various Xehanort's were using Replicas throughout KH3 in order to exist as something as hearts.

Were they... also? Using replicas during the events of DDD? Was it ever explained?

There's a line that explains they all have to go back to their own time for now, I think, which also makes it sound like they HAD to go back, because their time was up, or something? Which would not be the case if they were using replicas, but... also how would they appear, then? Wouldn't they just be hearts?

I mean, I guess UX talked about time travel like just need a heart, a memory, and a medium (Maleficent's heart, the faeries saying her name, the crow with her cloak)? But then... why wouldn't they use that method in KH3? They leaned very heavy on the replicas. Maybe he's not aware of it? Is there an aspect of time travel I'm missing?

Brain hurty :(

#screaming into the void #this is just me complaining #I've spent the last two hours googling this shit fjkdafjdafjdiopafjdk #this isn't even going into like #that this implies YX jumped forward for this plan in two separate trips #one for DDD one for KH3 #were they at the same time #one right after the other? #at different times with a break between? #where. exactly. in his timeline? #god I want up-to-date diagrams for all this nonsense SO BAD #kingdom hearts #kh #lore discussion

Well I’m off work today thanks to a fever and sinuses. And I had a single long continuous fever dream all night that robbed me of my sense of time and comfort 👍🏼 I don’t even want to try to go back to sleep for rear of getting sucked in again, but it’s all my body wants to do right now.

#this is just me complaining #I don’t get sick often #but when I do #got it sucks so fucking much

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #tbh even if I got a comment that said ‘I hate you I’m going to kill your family’ on chapter 75 it still means they read 75 chapters first…. #it just makes me sad to see so many writers shouting into the void #and also see ppl complain openly about the specific types of comments they receive #posting screenshots on Reddit like ‘should I be mad at this’ CALM DOWN #sigh

as far as i'm concerned all gore is necessary

#obvi just using gore to compensate for shitty writing doesn't make something good #BUT. complaining about gore in horror movies is sooo weird like that's half the reason i'm here #also good and fun gore does actually compensate for shitty writing. maybe not to you but to me #it has to be good tho #m

[weirdlynotspecific]

People tell me I can't make up words. I can. And I will make up a word just to spite you. Time is an illusion and reality is relative also fuck you (respectfully). English is just a bunch of people going "ehhh that looks like a word" and using it as a word. ALSO it's literally five other languages in a trench coat so you can't stop me, fnoogin is a word cause I said so.

#english is dumb #writing #tumblr culture #what do i even tag this as #fanfic writer #tumblr #tags are hard #this is just me complaining #shower thoughts #rambles #diary? #dairy

biography

god, I know I am the sentimental type, but its embarrassing how attached I am to Sarah. this was supposed to be a short project but now I'm expanding this into a full biography and collected writings. and like...I miss Sarah. I know her better than I do any of my acquaintances, more than some of my family members. and she is 250 years away from me. UGH!!! anyway I am honored to work with you Sarah and I hope I will do your story justice.

Sarah's nephew quoted these lines in the epigraph of a memoir, in which he discusses Sarah and the family. I can't get it out of my head:

My thoughts are with the dead; with them

I live in long-pass’d years;

their virtues love,

and from their lessons seek and find

instruction with a humble mind.

#this is just me complaining #really though I am beyond delighted with this work #sarah
