So it’s possible there may be. Some obsessive aspects to my personality

Ok now. Watching fangs of fortune and saying the plot is weak is like reading poetry and saying the plot is weak! It’s a feature not a bug, and it’ll sweep you up if you let it!!

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

screenshotting because this person is correct and having fun so I don't want to harsh their mellow, but to me it Does Not Count if it's new guys playing them. I'm so sorry. if you make a high budget star trek where kirk and spock are played by dudes who are 2020s handsome then they simply will not be in love the same way. I don't think jim can literally glow at spock if he's not played by a 60s pulp novel cover looking guy who is perpetually sweaty, on actual film and under soft yet dramatic lighting. doesn't matter if he's a good actor. bill shatner isn't a good actor. that's not the point because he can do one thing, and that thing is look twitterpated and say shit like "why, mr. Spock! 😍😳🥰" And Yes You Can Hear The Emojis even though they hadn't been invented yet. no one is ever going to get spock right other than leonard nimoy. no one has his weird little stance and precise combination of warmth and creaturely vibes. no one else is going to wear basic purple eyeshadow with the unaffected confidence of a no-nonsense 70 year old woman who's been wearing her red lipstick and tasteful dash of mascara since she was 16 and just considers it part of getting dressed. where am I going with this. Oh yeah basically I don't care what 21st century reboots do with them because I Do Not Know Those Men

AU where they have all the same music we had in 1997

Valentine Week Day 4: Atonement

@vincentvalentineweek

additional nerdiness under the cut

~What the Gang Was Listening to in 1997~

Cloud: Smashing Pumpkins, Wu-Tang Clan, Pablo Honey- and The Bends-era Radiohead. In the Lifestream he accepts the truth that he really likes Oasis.

Tifa: TLC, Fugees, Jewel. Everyone owned Pieces of You in 1997, and Tifa was no exception.

Barret: Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, and Johnny Cash, because Corel is country country.

Aerith: Fiona Apple, No Doubt, and Biggie, and she can sing his entire discography.

Nanaki: Enya (to everyone's chagrin), Oumou Sangaré, the numerous Grateful Dead cover bands that come to Cosmo Canyon every year

Reeve (via Cait Sith): Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers. Reeve goes to precisely one rave each year hoping to do molly and connect with the masses. He does not connect with the masses.

Yuffie: Puffy Ami Yumi, Sleater-Kinney, Beastie Boys

Vincent: The sound of silence. Not the song. Actual silence. (He doesn't mind Nick Cave. But if you ask him about The Cure ONE MORE TIME)

Cid: Metallica, Cake, REM. Was the one who put on Tubthumping.

Starting from affection, it’s possible to be closer to someone than anyone else and still not fully understand them. Starting from hatred, there’s no other way to love than through deep understanding.

BUT ALSO THAT KEY CHANGE IN “RETURN AFTER A LONG DREAM”??????

geniune question for fic readers and fic writers:

let's say you've already written a fair few fanfictions under a username. they range from sfw to nsfw. you also have a particular kink you would like to write a lot more of, but you aren't sure if starting to output a lot of that material would turn off your (small) audience. you could make a separate pseud, but then you might have no audience at all.

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

okay but!!! you know what really tells you zhao yuanzhou was ready to live for real? the fact that he didn't take wen xiao's poison as soon as he knew he could, or even to prevent zhuo yichen from doing it. that's real hope for himself!!!

Edit: incorrect premise again! Although i still like the idea. Should probably rewatch and read any explanations offered by Mandarin understanders before i go too far with these tbh

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

The Lost in Space reboot is actually extremely faithful to the original in the sense that it maintains the commitment to uncritically reproducing prevailing liberal ideas about The Family

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

I’m really about to rewatch the whole thing before i watch the epilogue lmao

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

only just at ep 4 but indeed LOVING fangs of fortune!!!

adventure

found family vibes

humour to break the tension

cool fighting & demons

cool outfits

a plot i can follow & understand without being too simplistic (so far anyway)

an intriguing premise (what are the "big bad" demon's intentions, why's he doing that??? how can a goddess be powerless???)

honestly what's not to love

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

I think without Wen Xiao, Zhuo Yichen would have been way more at risk of growing up to hate both demons and nuance

[i-cast-zone-of-truth]

Good luck.

I began quilting in the 1990s. I have handquilted about 60 sci-fi quilts. It has been many years of trial and error. I was never very good at following quilting patterns. My favorite pattern is the disappearing nine patch. I use it a lot in my quilts. My blocks were never perfect. In fact , I’m most certain every quilt I have made has a mistake or two. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, I look at the mistake as adding character and artistic deviations to my quilts. :) A quilt doesn’t have to be a complicated design . My first quilt was an appliqué Star Trek baby quilt. It was simple by quilting standards. I worked so hard on it. It took months to finish but I was incredibly proud. As I was learning to quilt, I secretly hoped to make something fancy and worthy of an art show one day. FYI, A little more than 30 years later, I have never entered any of my quilts into an art show. I quilt for me. I quilt to give one of a kind quilts to friends and family…and the occasional acquaintance on the internet. Maybe one day, one of my quilts will make it to outer space. How glorious would that be? Peace to you and yours.

To me fangs of fortune is about transcending the logic of retribution. There being no such thing as “making up for.” And love making such calculations irrelevant
