men in greek mythology? scoundrels. just terrible. woeful social skills. murderers. kidnappers. violent misogynists. most of them… never described as handsome so we have to assume they were ugly. 

narcissus? unproblematic. beacon of transformative self love. king of the swerve. gay icon. couldn’t recognize his reflection but neither can my dog, we aren’t holding that against him.

While I was playing a game with Sark online, the sky outside turned VERY suddenly Ominous. That looks it gets when there's about to be some shit going down. I logged and booked it outside to close the birds in for safety, and I didn't even make it all the way out to the back of the barn for the first pen door before I heard it.

This loud, strange roar in the distance. Building and definitely coming closer.

I closed up the first pen and as I exited to head for the one with Bug in it, the trees in the distance started swaying heavily. The birds were just standing there confused, until I started calling for round up, and then they immediately ran for the coop. Bug waited until I got there, but she bolted with me to the coop, and got inside ahead of me. I couldn't bring her with me right then, and the wind was howling and the rain hit like a brick wall, instantly soaking me as I closed their coop.

The rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't see much as I ran for the last coop. Aurora and Eris and Stella couldn't see either, and were panicking in the wrong side of the pen. They heard and saw me, though, and ran with me around the barrier that had confused them, and came with me to safety inside the coop. I stood with them and watched the rain come down in buckets for a minute before I got out and closed their door.

I dashed to the barn, checked on everyone in there, and closed it up. I wanted to get Bug and bring her in the house, but the rain was coming down hard and the wind was blowing like crazy. I thought for sure she would freak out. I went anyway, thinking maybe I would just ride it out in her coop so she wouldn't be scared, but when I got there she was waiting up on the shelf for me. I picked her up and tucked her close to me, and she held on as I RAN through the yard back to the house. She's never sat so pretty in her life, but she didn't give me any hassle at all.

I am... so insanely glad that I work with my birds daily. That they see me and hear me and follow directions, and follow me if I need to move them in a hurry, even when they're scared and confused. Especially when they're scared and confused.

The storm was intense, but thankfully short lived, and while the rain is still going it doesn't feel like it's trying to murder anyone anymore.

So happy wet beast Sunday!

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

I’m gonna go ahead and rant real quick. I’m a fanfiction author, and I’m constantly looking for ideas I like. A lot of those ideas come from prompts, or tumblr posts, or other fandoms, or existing tropes.

Sometimes, fics already exist in those tropes.

So here’s my apparently “unpopular” opinion: I like reading fics of the same trope. If there’s a fic where they’re famous actors and they fall in love that I enjoy, I want four more slightly different ones. If I’m writing a fic where one is catfishing, I want to read the trope in at least four other fics like???

I like to see other authors’ take and style on common tropes. Just because one fic in a trope exists doesn’t mean the trope is off limits for the fandom. Far from it - take a chance with that trope. If you’re worried you’re too similar, mark it inspired by. You’re not going to copy someone exactly, and you could have an interesting spin on it. I want that spin to exist.

If two fics of the same trope can’t exist, I might as well delete over half my fics, including some of my most popular. It’s discouraging to hear people drop ideas because something like it exists - or even maybe exists.

tldr; more than one fic can exist within a trope or prompt in a fandom and be good fics. Please write whatever you want, even if something similar exists. Someone (like me) will read them all and enjoy them all.
