girl what happened to just creating fanwork to satisfy your needs

going directly to the developers for canonical changes to the work has gotta stop like what happened to boundaries

#fandom #pretty sure it's the access to the creators through social media that is more prevalent and thus easier to try and “communicate” with #but pretty much all people do is harass them and I'm just like-- #“i'm too tired and old to deal with that crap”

You know as much as I will always love Darklina (more the potential of what it could have been but whatever)...

There is something remarkable to be said about Darkolai too.

Like... Every once in a while, I will completely fall down this darkolai rabbit hole. And just devour so many things, and think of different potentials and what ifs and all that.

But I mean, if not the whole sun/shadow and light/dark motif...

You have the whole "will do anything for my country/people" between the Darkling and Nikolai and... While Aleksander is far more radical (due to so many other variables and lifetimes and persecutions and all), their goals are the same.

And I think that's great.

“Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: ‘It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it.’ And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it mean to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?”

— “59. it’s beautiful, but I don’t like it” from 100 essays I don’t have time to write: on umbrellas and sword fights, parades and dogs, fire alarms, children, and theater, sarah ruhl 

#oh but see that means people have to be mature and all that #we can't have things like that #we can't have people THINK #what would the world come to if we had such a thing?! #just because YOU don't like something does not mean it's BAD #it's just not FOR YOU #but it may be something incredibly wonderful to another person #art is subjective #how hard is that to understand?!

People think being self aware cancels out mental illness. That when you realise your thoughts or behaviours are irrational you just stop having/doing them

Instead what happens if you're extremely self aware and mentally ill is that you just think in a resigned kind of way "I'm being really fucking crazy right now" while being very loudly mentally ill

Sometimes you are able to tell the people around you "oh, you can ignore me rn. I'm just being extremely mentally ill rn. It will eventually pass" and then continue your erratic behaviour. But mostly it's just privately thinking: "well this is embarrassing but I can't turn it off so just gotta deal with it I guess."

It's infuriating honestly

#personal #mental health #honestly knowing that your thoughts or whatever are “illogical” doesn't exactly help matters at all #I have sat there many many times with the whole “I know this is stupid I know I'm blowing out of proportion I know it's illogical” and yet. #I cannot help but feel those thoughts and it just makes me feel even worse because oh #having these thoughts just makes me feel like an utter failure even MORE #i hate depression

Xaden’s “Welcome” Speech

One thing I genuinely love about Xaden is his nonchalant audacity at times. No other character in this series quite matches him in this department, some are definitely close, but he really takes the (chocolate) cake.

Consider his ‘welcome’ speech to the new cadets -

He tells them it doesn’t matter who their parents are because it’s not going to help them in the Riders Quadrant; his example is of course how Alic Tauri didn’t survive his first year, despite being the second prince.

But the reason he didn’t survive, is because

XADEN FUCKING MURDERED HIM DURING THRESHING!!!

Don’t get me wrong – Garrick being alive is far better than some bully we never met. But still… I mean, come on. Seriously, Xaden?! Seriously?!

I just…

I love him. He's such a fucking delight with how much he doesn't give a fuck. It’s also fun to imagine that during his little speech Garrick was thinking –

Dude, what the actual fuck? Sure, people don’t know we’re the ones responsible, but maybe let’s not tempt fate by bringing him up. We're so close to graduating.

What more can I say? I just adore the sheer amount of audacity Xaden has so goddamn much.

Reblog if you think a woman can be complete without children

Y’ALL HAVE TIME TO REBLOG THIS. IT TAKES LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS.

#this should be far more acceptable than it is (unfortunately) #if all I want is myself and my books and my cats #as long as I'm happy that shouldn't matter #why bring a child into the world only to resent it? #or whatever #I'm sorry but only those who actively WANT to embrace that (very important) role in a person's life should do it #it shouldn't be something women are “guilted” into or whatever

@pscentral anniversary event: take two 2.0 ↠ JENA MALONE as JOHANNA MASON (x)

Johanna Mason. From District 7 Lumber and paper, thus the tree. She won by very convincingly portraying herself as weak and helpless so that she would be ignored. Then she demonstrated a wicked ability to murder. — Catching Fire, Suzanne Collins
