DO WHAT YOU CAN AND DONT BE A DICK ON THE INTERNET

i was writing a post about how it's unhelpful to shame average people for not meeting your standards of activism and calling them evil and things like that bc shame is not a reliable motivator and you don't know these people blah blah blah. and then i ended up writing this so here u go:

like. let's imagine you're an average guy. you work a job under a shitty manager and you still can't pay rent and afford groceries at the same time. you have untreated physical and mental illness and/or trauma. you don't have energy to cook a full meal. one of the microwave foods you like is being recalled. lead or e. coli or something. you can't remember when you last had water. you are too tired to clean the mold and algae off the corners of your brita. and who knows what is in the tap water.

a new episode of your favorite show just came out. you post about it. someone comments or makes a video about you and several others who are not posting about [serious issue]. saying you are heartless and inhuman. and you've heard about [serious issue] on a site or from someone who is supposed to be the most trustworthy on this topic. this random person on the internet is telling you things that don't match up to that. they're telling you that you should've had researched more. that not knowing enough is not an excuse. there is mold in your brita filter.

the video about you has thousands of comments. they're saying they think you should know what it's like to experience [serious issue]. then maybe you would take it seriously. you have the privilege to post about your favorite show. you are being lazy. these people are like piranhas. your dinner has e. coli or something. you have to clean your brita.

you want to research [serious issue]. you care about people. you started to but you are hearing different stories. one of your sources is from the same internet the random person came from. you thought you weren't supposed to trust the internet? another source can't even stand up against itself. that one is supposed to be trustworthy.

you see someone getting torn apart for posting misinformation. comments say they should have done their research. these people are like piranhas.

now you're seeing it. raw footage. you need a break and your notifications are flooded. why haven't you posted about this yet??? it's the least you could do. are you lazy??? don't you care??? these people are like piranhas. you still need to clean the brita.

no more internet. you need to clean the brita. sponge, soap. tap water. thin green and black streaks coming off the corners of the pitcher. all done. well now the sponge has mold on it. new sponge. your brita filter is getting old. new filter. do you even deserve a new filter? do you deserve fresh water? whatever, just refill it. tap water. waiting. tap water. waiting. tap water, fridge. check your phone.

brita filters are getting recalled.

lead or e. coli or something.

#ohio #i still think about you #this exact situation hasn't happened to me #it's partly based off my experience and partly off of others #and britas have not been recalled to my knowledge but i do know they're like #not a great or amazingly effective brand #i hear they are very bare bones #like they're alright #don't worry about lead in ur brita is what i'm saying #handmadeorganicpost #art #??#writing #prose #poetry #writer #this is not about one situation #i've seen this pattern since 2020 at the earliest

evolution smp 🤝 comics

having a pretty large backlog of content that many people are unwilling to consume before getting into the fandom so they make art/fic/posts from a “solely read fanfiction and not consumed the media itself” space and it results in beliefs about the world/characters/lore that are extremely divorced from the series itself overtaking the fan space.

#space rambles #lil hater moments #yes this post is why i made up that tag #i’ll be real. this is. perhaps a little mean. hence why i am not tagging it #not maintagging it i mean. i’m on mobile i’m not fixing that #but it’s true. and you know it #to be clear i am not a comics fan but a lot of my friends are #so i’m like. aware of this #but i think people writing watcher fic should do the thing that comics writers sometimes do #which is put in the notes/tags ‘i haven’t read the comics but i read fics i really liked’#so that i know when i should leave #like i KNOW that eyes and ears is pretty divorced from evos lore at this point #it’s an au of the life series and also of evos #but that doesn’t mean knowing nothing about evos ISNT detrimental to how you think about the life series #because there is simply SO MUCH that we don’t know about eyes and ears #and you can either fill those gaps with things that are based in evos/informed by knowledge of evos #or you can. not.#this is ESPECIALLY true for depictions of the listeners but it’s also obviously true of the watchers #like i’m sure i’ve encountered good content about the watchers from people who have not watched evos/know nothing about it #just like. statistically.#i suspect it was probably content having to do w/ martyn specifically. most specifically having to do w/ the void #cause like. idk i trust martyn writers most of the time #but i digress #this wasn’t supposed to be a rant. i am so sorry

sometimes you read something for a fandom you were crazy over years ago and you encounter one of the ships you loved back then and you just think “yeahhhh…. this is still great :) way to go younger me you were so based about this actually :)”

#anyway I still care a lot about Obitine apparently #their respective commitment to their respective ideals and moral codes… the way they love each other more than life #(literally. they’re so willing to die for each other.)#and yet that never leads them to violate who they /are/ or who the other person is #Satine is willing to never see him again rather than ask him to leave the Order. he is willing to leave the Order all she has to do is ask #they are able to rest in their love for one another bc they know the other loves them in such a way that they would never ask #for their compromise #idk this makes very little sense it’s 2 a.m. I’m delirious I have church in the morning but I wanna rewatch some Clone Wars now #hfhfhfhhdhdhdhehdhdhdhfbbdsjsjfhfj #gurt says stuff #edit: wait actually this is so funny—bc I just realized that Din Djarin and Obi-Wan are quite similar in a lot of ways #so the parallels here are incredibly funny to me for some reason. the Kryze women just have a Thing for reserved men who are #completely devoted to their religious values and would do practically anything for their adopted family huh #(ftr I don’t know if I ship DinBo or not but I do understand the appeal and I am open to the possibility of the writers play it right #still bitter about losing Cara tho. bc I was SO curious to see how Misters Filoni and Favreau were going to develop that #n I had a vague suspicion based on my knowledge of how Filonis brain and stories work that ~something~ may have been meant to happen there)

not going to watch ms marvel or engage with it at all but i’m definitely curious about Who Exactly decided Kamela’s power should come from Djinn and who decided to have Nakia look like that

Because whoever made those decisions knows exactly what they’re doing. Trying to make Muslim immigrants stomachable for white audiences and in doing so removing the aspects of religion and culture that defined so many characters in this series and moreover define us as people

#only seen the trailer #didn't like what they did with Nakia at all. Not at all #You guys don't understand the awareness of making the choice to wear a hijab especially in a non-muslim country nor the requirement to cover #the neck! Ilhan Omar might do it but she makes a choice and it could be cultural or because the US government would never let her set foot #in the government if she wore a full hijab. Either way I respect her choice but for someone to take what could be either a cultural thing or #a compromise between being a representative of your religion and roots AND your country and to then apply it to a character who #uncompromisingly embraced all aspects of her religion in the comics? and her knowledge and critical thinking of society from an islamic #perspective are her defining features? CHEAP #or nah about ilhan omar it's her personal preference fundamentally but any muslim knows there is a distinction between the 2 ways of wearing #hijab. and for the writers or whoever to apply that nakia is highly dubious #and im assuming that's the link theyre going for. They're going for 'well this muslim woman does it like this so there' THAT'S A HUMAN PERSO #PERSON WHO MADE A CHOICE. BASED ON THEIR VALUES. DO NOT CONFLATE ONE PERSON'S CHOICE WITH ANOTHER'S.#the author of ms marvel made a choice to have Nakia wear her hijab THIS way. Andh for her character to be Like This. Her Values like That #you know what im saying? this is also more insidious than changing plot points or characters for ordinary stories or percy jackson or whatev #because it's about islam. it's about representation or muslim minorities and islam in western media. most of us don't like being represented #in western media because it is NEVER an acceptable representation. here again it's distorted.#anyway i wil stop ranting in the tags #and the thing that bothers me is those are pretty big things already. so what else did they totally change to remove the islamic side

I'd love to know more about Karzai Kidnap! Especially since we don't know much about Karzai, but the little we do know sounds totally fascinating! Actually I want to know more about all of them but had to pick one. (Thanks Bi for picking one I was really eyeing thus narrowing things down for me!)

justyn: what rhymes with embrace? daren: disgrace. cybele: your face. ysa: ·—·

clipped from my notes because I couldn’t find a prose snippet I liked enough. broadly speaking, karzai kidnap is a fic during which:

(1) Moira and her squad of fully-grown high schoolers take a road trip to investigate something in Karzai, but

(2) they discover the hard way that there are more dangers than just demons in the world and

(3) the gang has to mount a rescue mission.

It’s set postgame, and therefore also lives in the category of Things I Cannot Finish Anytime Soon, but I’m still having fun with it! my broad conceit for this one was ‘what if everyone had to face the consequences of MC no longer having plot armor anymore’, plus brainstorming some of the potential postgame fallout of where I think the ending is likely headed. I set a portion of it in Karzai because I thought it might have interesting consequences for the international scene, and because I wanted to explore areas I don’t believe we’ll ever visit in the main game.

#emerald writes #ask meme #an interesting part of the nature of fic #is that the author has an iceberg meme’s worth of knowledge behind what gets communicated to the reader #so fic writers are often trying to draw the entire iceberg based solely on what’s floating at the top #it’s fun! i enjoy it

As both a writer and someone interested in science, I would like to remind you that you can use any random knowledge you have for writing.

Use what you know to make your world more interesting! Use it to fill that world. Purposefully change things in worldbuilding.

The more you know, the more you can choose to keep or change when building a world.

This especially works for science, but any other field as well! There are so many things in the world too weird and/or crazy for it to be real. Use that.

So take a random bit of knowledge you have and put it in your story. Maybe you can even make it a prompt!

#writer things #writing #writing side of tumblr #writer speaks #writers on tumblr #writing advice #this is based on me thinking about dark matter and anti matter #do not get me started on those two #it's basic knowledge in the field but holy hell is it weird #like fantasy plot level weird #magic is nothing but science not yet fully understood

#shining force #ressurection of the dark dragon #sfrodd mawlock #shining series #long post #sfrodd hq dialogue #man this one is such a disappointment #way too bland for mawlock's fun fourth wall breaking shtick and also kind of nonsense #why pretend mage is a fake word for scientist when you'll acknowledge the existence of mages later on #magic exists in this setting bro what the hell are you talking about #also do the cards capture the soul itself or some sorta impression of it? the latter makes more sense #given that we collect cards of living people with powers based on them but not exact clones #either way did the girl consent to any of this as well? i know the writers don't care lol #also mawlock telling the story like a long lost myth kinda annoys me #because he's otherwise the guy that knows the truth behind a lot of ancient stuff #like okay sure a man can't know everything but still. disappointing vibe wise #he shows more knowledge about that teleporting machine than his own weapons of choice apparently #weird #using soul stuff though while being similar to a thing called the soul eater... hmmm #i know he's not too similar to the soul eater but. i still feel it in my heart okay. i'm connecting the dots #oh again i forgot to make more fun of him #'it must be fate that brought us together' my brother in christ you shoved yourself in the narrative on purpose #you busted through the wall like 'this is a remake i'm here to bring the extra content'#and the extra content was narsha so thanks but also shut up

I’m so pretentious bc every time I see tolkien going on about his elf nobles and lords and ladies I’m like okay but I can create elf societies that don’t revolve around vaguely British monarchy

#I’ll be utterly horrid as a writer #bc people will try to world build based on tolkien knowledge #and I’ll dramatically fan myself saying you’re all wrong #txt #narn #titles?#nobility?#they’re going out the window

forming parosocial relationships with the people in the medical book </3

#okay so.#its from 1917 and very dated but its so fascinating hearing the theories and practices #and then it having photographs and illustrations based on the writers experiences and exposure to different cases #and i got a little habit forming of just... mentally thanking them #like a subconscious 'thank u my friend'#for their involvement and how thwy played a factor and part in the advancement of science and knowledge #like even if its just a fraction of a sand grain in the vast dessert. its a fraction that influences all around it.#like !!! thats all lives ! long gone ! but it was actual lives that were here and played a factor and influence !#i hope they knew theyll be remembered even if i will never know their names and story. they were important than important now #<- this is all said from someone who would sneak out at 13 and walk to the nearest graveyard to talk to the forgotten tombstones #because i was terrified at the idea that ghosts can exist/some consciousness and theyd feel lonely or forgotten #everyone deserves a friend u know? leave some flowers to a stranger. tell another u hope theyre at peace and are well. say hello & goodbye #its 10 pm. still tired. still constantly in love with humans and strangers and friends and eventually the mirror #i want to take everybody by the shoulders and shake them as i yell that i love them #alive or dead. the dead that feel alive. the live that feel dead just !!#i love you ! i love you ! i love you ! i know you and i love you ! youre a stranger and i love you !!!#these tags are all over the place #and doesnt make sense but ur all used to it by this point #im gonna read and get a shower and tuck myself into bed. remind myself i love myself too even if i dont rly believe it (yet)#crypt callings #probably delete later #depends how embarrassed i am on this word dump and oversharing hehdh

writers of tumblr: what's one interest/knowledge base you have in your personal life that you've put into your writing (especially to the point of putting way too much detail into it) and what's one interest/knowledge base you've learned about because you had to research it to write about it?

mine are probably cooking and stuff about dna/telomeres lol

#ok to reblog #writing #writeblr #writers of tumblr #ask game #other interests i've put into my writing are bowling and music #and knowledge bases i've gained from writing are lore for all the games i've written about and also farming

just watched the borderlands movie trailer and uhhh april fools was a week ago

edit: just realised the trailer was posted a month ago and we only found it now but my point still stands

#i cant tell which game its based on at all.. it doesnt even look connected to the lore at all??#have the writers ever played borderlands where are they getting this plotline from.#admittedly ive barely played the games and most of my knowledge of the lore comes from my bestie who is OBSESSED with borderlands #who is complaining about how ass this movie looks in my dms rn #we've been waiting since we were 13 for this dude

Hi now i'm curious what is the beef with the rappers

Man this is going to be long so I'll try to keep this simple and entertaining. I hope this comes across as clear cause I'm shook right now.

Here is a glossarie to break thing up:

Prologue (The Spark 🔥)

Round 1.1 (Physical Education 💪🏾)

Interlude part 1 (Roots 🏠)

Round 1.2 (2 Warning Shots 🔫)

Interlude part 2 (Pusha the Seer 👁)

Round 2.1 (Knifes Out 🔪 )

Round 2.2 (The Nuke 💥)

Epilogue (All eyes on him 👀)

My Theory 🤷🏾‍♂️

Highly recommend checking out the tracks yourself while you read along.

Prologue (The Spark)

Let it be known that I am a neutral party and that I don't take sides when it comes to rap beef. I was here for the music and creativity. I am just trying to recount events to the best of my knowledge. Sorry if some details are inaccurate.

Okay so basically, Drake, J Cole, and Kendrick Lamar are the Big 3 of the rap world right now.

A month ago, Future and Metro Boomin (two rapper who supposedly don't fuck with Drake anymore) released a song with Kendrick Lamar called "Like That". In the song Kendrick took a shot at Drake and J Cole, saying there isn't a big 3, its only him on top.

4 weeks ago J Cole dropped a track called "7 Minute Drill" that is dissing Kendrick. However, in a move that is very uncharacteristic of J, he took down the official track and formally apologized to Kendrick. Thus signaling his exit from the rap battle.

ROUND 1.1 (Physical Ed)

Drake on the other hand dropped "Push Ups" 2 weeks ago, a diss track that went after other rappers he doesn't like but mainly Kendrick. In it, he made fun of Kendrick's height and his contracts. He then ends the song with "I was really try'n keep it PG" meaning he has a nuke on Kendrick that people don't know.

Not long later, Drake dropped ANOTHER diss track "Taylor Made Freestyle" with Ai voices of Snoop Dog and fucking 2PAC! Kendrick has stated before that 2pac is one of his idols so this must have been a deep cut. In the song Drake claims Kendrick doesn't write his own music and uses the writers of Taylor Swift. Relating a rapper to pop music is seen as disrespectful.

INTERLUDE PART 1 (Roots)

Before I continue, I want to give a brief run down on how the public perceives these two rappers.

Drake portrays himself as a superstar, he's always on social media flaunting his success and partying with other celebrities, seeing alot of women and living a lavish lifestyle. His music is catchy, something you put on in the club. Most of his fan base praise him for his sick beats and witty lyrics. He's been in the music industry for a while and is no push over.

Kendrick Lamar is a very private person, doesn't expose anything about his personal life unless its on a track. He almost never gets into fights with anyone. He is a family man, stressing the importance of being there for his wife and son and encourages other fathers to do the same. His fan base praise him for his creative lyrics and highlighting the black American condition.

ROUND 1.2 (2 Warning Shots)

2 Day ago, Kendrick Lamar came back with his first official diss track on Drake called "Euphoria". In this song, Kendrick goes in on Drakes fake personality. Drake has always been known around the community as a bit of a poser, he grew up in Canada and was raised by his white mother, a relatively comfortable childhood. He was a star on the popular show Degassi when he was young. garnering him a fan base early in his career. Kendrick doesn't approve of Drake appropriating black American culture and acting like he some tough guy. When in reality he is a Canadian nerd thats disrespectful to 2pac. All throughout the song, Kendrick hits at things that many people have know about Drake, such as his behavior around underage girls. He also called Drake a deadbeat father who isn't in his son's life, even referencing his lost battle to Pusha T. Then Kendrick finally warns him that he has more dirt that he is willing to share if Drake takes things further.

Similar to Drake, Kendrick dropped another track called "6:16 in LA" later that day. This song focuses on Drake's environment, specifically the people he hangs with. Kendrick implies that Drake paid people to dig into his background and when they didn't find anything, Drake made up stuff instead. Kendrick then says that someone in Drakes group is leaking information to him about something even more serious. Also planting a seed in Drake's mind that his supposed friends don't actually like him, just like the clout from hanging around him.

INTERLUDE PART 2 (Pusha the Seer)

Taking a quick break again, we need to discuss something that occurred long before Drake's battle with Kendrick.

5 years ago, Drake was in a rap battle with rapper Pusha T, someone who was smaller than Drake at the time in terms of popularity. Pusha dropped a song called "The Story of Adidon" where he dropped a bomb that Drake had a kid and wasn't taking care of him. Drake initially denied it but it was later revealed to be true.

Since then Drake has never responded to Pusha T's diss track, making Pusha the current winner. And Kendrick is bringing it back into the light.

Round 2.1 (Knifes Out)

Around 2 am EST time of May 4th, Drake drops his diss track, "Family Matters" one of his strongest songs, switching his flow 3 times in the span of 7 minutes. In true Drake fashion, its a club song with a catchy beat. Like his previous diss, its aimed at multiple people but the main focus is on Kendrick, even bring up "I was really try'n keep this PG".

Drake doubles down on his black identity and mocks the fact that Kendrick and other rappers are saying he isn't black, (incorrectly assuming that they are coming at him for being mixed when the real issue is that he is appropriating black American rap culture as a Canadian mixed man who grew up in a safe environment) Drake not only calls Kendrick a fraud who only raps about black issues for attention, Or that his activism is performative. He makes a shocking claims that Kendrick is a wife beater. Then Drake says that Kendrick's son doesn't belong to him and implies Kendrick's producer was the real father.

The track caused an uproar. But only for the span of 15 minutes. Because Kendrick did the unthinkable.

ROUND 2.2 (THE NUKE)

Almost as if expecting Drake's move, Kendrick Lamar did what no one saw coming. He dropped his diss track "Meet The Grahams" about 15 minutes after Drake released "Family Matters".

This time around, in a fashion almost unheard of from him, Kendrick strips all the usual metaphors from his lyricism and structures his track like he is speaking to Drake and his family, 4 parts per individual.

Kendrick begins by speaking to Drakes Son, Adonis, the same son Pusha T exposed Drake for neglecting 5 years ago. He's apologizing to him for his father's behavior. Kendrick speaks to him softly but sternly like a mentor, telling him not to be like his father. Kendrick tells Adonis all the things Drake did and warns him not to do them too: involved with escorts, plastic surgery to appear more black, surgery to look more muscular, hiding a kid. (Kendrick stresses that Adonis is black regardless of being mixed, further highlighting that he isn't discrediting Drake's blackness because he's mixed but because he isn't being himself.) Finishing of by telling the kid to be proud of who he is.

The second half is Kendrick addressing Drake's mother and father, Sandra and Denise. Kendrick speaks to her like he's revealing tragic news, explaining to her that her son is involved in disgusting things. He goes down a list of things, his tone growing more intense and angry. Kendrick then claimed that Drake is employing and enabling pedos in his group, and hopes they die. Even implying that his group is going to be raided by the feds some day.

The third half is the MOST shocking of all. Kendrick begins talking to an unnamed individual, simply calls her babygirl. Similar to Adonis, Kendrick takes on a somber tone and apologizes to her for Drakes behavior. He says its not her fault Drake abandoned her, says that she is deserving of love. He warns her not to become a target for people like Drake to pray on and says she has so much to offer the world.

Kendrick revealed Drake has ANOTHER kid and isn't in their life! (Allegedly)

To close of, the fourth half is Kendrick speaking directly to Drake, his tone tired. He tries to reiterate that he doesn't have hate for him. However, Kendrick says Drake was the first one to go after his family and he couldn't let it slide. He once again calls for Drake to take the mask off. Then says this isn't a rap battle anymore, tells Drake he is fighting himself.

Epilogue (All eyes on him)

And so here we are, waiting for what will happen next.

Drake posted an Instagram story denying the claim he has another kid. But given what happened with Pusha T, we can't quite take his word for it yet. We should wait a bit to see if anything comes out.

Kendrick hasn't put out a statement on Drake's claims about him but given the recurring theme of Drake being a manipulative lier, Kendrick clearly denies it. Given how private he is, its difficult to prove or disprove it. Much like Drake's claims, we will have to wait and see if any evidence comes out about it.

Drake and Kendrick stans are at eachothers throats right now, arguing over who one and whats real or fake.

Right now everyone is looking to see if Drake is going to continue the battle or stay silent like he did with Pusha.

My Theory

Personally as an outside observer who only followed the beef for good music. I think this goes beyond a simple rap battle.

Here is my theory: Someone from Drake's clique told Kendrick that Drake and his producers were writing something about him. Real or fake, Kendrick was pissed. And so he drafted 3 tracks, dumping everything he hates about Drake into them. And then, with the leaker's help, Kendrick baited Drake into a battle, goading Drake to drop the "Family Matters" track so he can shut the battle down with "Meet the Grahams". Or maybe his first 2 tracks were a warning to Drake that if he released a track with lies on him he would reveal he has another kid.

I do think Kendrick initially had good intentions in trying to help Drake be a better person. But maybe the more he learned about Drake the less sympathetic he felt.

But I don't know thats just how I see it.

Thanks for reading my essay. I hope it made sense heh. I encourage healthy discussions in the comments and reblogs please. But everyone agrees that Drake is inappropriate with young girls. We won't argue over that.

#Will you have no idea how bad i needed to do this #pusha t #drake #kendrick lamar #i finally have my thoughts in order #i recommended listening to the tracks while reading this just for more context #im worried i look biased toward Kendrick here because i break down his lyrics more #but i swear that isnt the case #drake spent alot of time calling other people out #meaning less lines for him to go in on kenny

📖 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28

🧐 🤔 So if I'm loving God, I'm Good! 😄

😃 🤔 Although, what I'm identifying as loving him can be questionable. 🤨

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: For Thou Savourest Not The Things That Be Of God, But Those That Be Of Men. - Matthew 16:23

❤️ God . His will, His word, His way. 🙏

The end.

okay i decided to do a random number generator and some tarot cards so uhm. lets see. this is just spitballing ideas under the cut btw not an actual fic

for the characters i got yuzuru and mao, and i pulled the chariot, the three of swords, and the magician. so i think this is a deviation from the canon of the game in the ! era, at least in my mind, though i'd need to read more trickstar and fine stories to really do this idea justice and clean it up so just take this as me word vomiting a plot onto a post.

there are minor parallels between mao and yuzuru and their roles in their respective units, given that both of them take on more work than they should and are in the student council, combined with yuzuru's being tori's butler. they get along well enough and mao calls yuzuru by his given name now so its not like they get along poorly. this is all i have gathered just from quickly skimming mao's wiki page and their section on the relationships page.

i think...this fic would be a deviation from the canon in that trickstar doesnt come out on top and are defeated by fine and their counterparts from it (ie hokuto and eichi, wataru and subaru?, mao and yuzuru and i guess that leaves makoto and tori but i am not versed in trickstar lore very well so take this with a mountain of salt i never said this was going to be good) but which happens after they have developed this relationship where at least mao consideres yuzuru a friend and now that's just. shattered.

yuzuru doesn't necessarily realize in the moment what their relationship was to him until its broken before him on the stage as he pushes forward with fine until the very end, and it sinks in a little afterwards, maybe a few days, when mao is suddenly very very cold to him at the student council meetings. whatever amiability there had been before is gone, and there's no getting it back any time soon.

#shay speaks #shay writes #idk i just. needed to brainstorm so this isnt going to be a full fledged fic because i really feel like i'd have to clean this up #after reading more trickstar and fine focused ! era stories especially during the war and the main story #so uhm. i mean feel free to give ur comments if you have more knowledge on either of them #this is just kinda vaguely an idea for something based on some random chance stuff #i feel like the mao focused scenes are him putting in a lot of work to impress yuzuru with his dancing #and yuzuru doesnt notice? i guess? and uhm. uh. idk.#this is exactly why im not writing a whole fic but it felt nice to just. vomit up an idea #still have writers block but its less intense now #also im not main tagging this bc i am not at all confident in it LMAO i dont want the trickstarPs or finePs to get mad at me #<- literally a yuzuruP #mmmm yeah this needs some workshopping i feel like i am mischaracterizing yuzuru here #but i dont know how else i want to build this. because i dont think these cards necessarily have a happy end #and i dont feel like theres an implied third party driving the wedge between them its their problem #and its broken. yuzuru has a girl moment or smth and just destroys mao on stage. idk #anyway take my word vomit this will probably never get written but its good to get some of that writing urge out of my system #just by creating a scenario not even necessarily starting a new wip
