finished Sunrise on the Reaping (new Hunger Games book). regardless of how i'm feeling about the book itself (bad!), i'm crazy about the Maysilee/Wyatt potential. rich tough-as-nails mean girl and calculator-brain oddsmaker with protective instincts and a heart of gold? i hope to god i'm not the only one who sees this. i'm calling the ship name Wysilee and i have a full-ass AU idea that i don't have time to write but that's going to live in my head forever and ever until i do

When I wrote all the Marie & Colm fics, I was single. Very very very single and pretty unhappy actually.

It was all wish fulfillment at the time. And maybe there were people out there who thought “They’re too precious with each other. Nobody’s like that in real life.” Or not. Maybe it was believable. I don’t know. I was just writing it the way I wanted it to be.

But I have since found my person. And he loves me like how I wrote Colm loving Marie.

I just realized that. It’s real. 🥰

So many Novel Athy lovers complain about how people hate on Novel Athy because she’s selfish, meanwhile I hate Lee Jihye because she dehumanizes people around her and that skews her perception of others and the situations she’s in, all while inheriting Claude’s tendency of preferring her image of [other people] rather than trying to acknowledge the real [them].

It took her eighteen years to realize she generalizes the people around her as one-dimensional characters instead of human beings (seen passively through how she treats the original cast of LP, and people she sees as mob characters like nameless and faceless nobles and girls she invites to her OWN parties), but she doesn’t dwell on or try to change that part of her, or how she treats them.

I like it when the fandom engages with Chuuya drinking problematically or Akutagawa smoking despite his lung disease or Fyodor indulging his gambling addiction.

Asagiri can't explore the same, there's a censorship regime in Japan for manga aimed at certain ages. But even if he doesn't care to, fan works should be transformative and exploratory; and fan works that do so while engaging with the source material and its themes like humanity and contradiction and culpability are even more golden for doing so.

The urge to lacquer fiction in performative didactism and aversion to moral turpitude is self cannibalizing.

I love random ass YouTube playlists

9 times outta 10 you don’t know what songs you’re getting, and you can listen to new music without the music algorithm changing

Plus usually they’re so specific you can just vibe along to songs that are purple

sometimes the music will have rain noises overlayed too which is always a plus

i have tried a lot of things but nothing works for me. how do you study for multiple hours a day effectively. my multiple hours of study consist of 20 minutes of actually studying and the rest of it doing something else because i get distracted. i cannot focus. and when i do miraculously succeed in keeping my focus i dont even memorize the majority of it. im at my wit's end

Kepcobi is a ship that to me very much ranges from, Power Imbalance (hot), to, Power Imbalance (oh no) and, hear me out, I think the songs that best represent this range are, Bark Like A God by Sloppy Jane:

and, Russian Roulette by Rihanna:

i think what makes companions feel so sidelined despite their quests isn't actually that we can't speak to them in the lighthouse (because we couldn't do this in da2 either) but the fact that they don't say anything in cutscenes, it's all been replaced with location banter. sometimes someone will interject but it's really rare and we can't speak to them when they do. so it feels like literally the only times we hear from these characters are during their side quests, which are sometimes so far apart from each other that i'll frequently go 'hey. neve literally hasn't said or done anything in the past 20 hours'

Sannyo's Flowers

You occasionally see art of Sannyo with flowers:

The reason for this is not only that Sannyo Komakusa is named after the Komakusa flower, but also that she named and themed her Spellcards after Japanese mountain flowers.

Mountain Sign "Heaven-Shaking Kumomagusa" / Mountain Apparition "Astonishing Kumomagusa" (depending on difficulty)

Mountain Sign "Usuyukisou Shining with Bewitching Light" / Mountain Apparition "Usuyukisou of Thronging Crowds of Youma" (depending on difficulty)

And of course, her namesake

Mountain Flower "Komakusa of Massacre" / Mountain Flower "Mountain Queen of Massacre" ( depending on difficulty)

Even her nonSpells resemble flowers.

Its extremely cute that instead of modeling them after smoke, or gambling, she chose some of her favorite mountain flowers. She has very unique tastes, especially the Usuyukisou which aren't quite conventionally beautiful but they definitely look like lasers with sunlight shining off of them. Though they certainly have their charm shining in the sunlight.

She actually has a few flowers in her den in Lotus Eaters as well.

After Mizutaki released the script for a bunch of Lotus Eaters. Including LE29 and 30, it was revealed that both her dragon divider and flowers were part of ZUN'S script, making Sannyo's flowers primary canon!

We aren't likely to be seeing them in Lotus Eaters again since Sannyo can only keep them on the mountain, but it's really great we got to see them when we did. It's nice knowing she canonicaly takes care of some in addition to modeling her Spellcards after them.

Also last but not least, the Title Lotus Eaters gave her was.

a very appropriate, and poetic title for her; and it explains why she loves tough mountain flowers so much. she's a bit of a mountain flower herself after all.
