[infamous-if]

Dec ✮ 12 ✮ 2024 – update

Part of me hates doing these mostly because it's a whole lotta nothing and me just repeating everything I said the last update (lol) but I do like doing it because I like keeping people updated, even if it's a non-update. I may sound like a broken record (pun not intended) but I know a lot of people don't catch my updates every time so it's nice to just keep people informed yk yk

✮ — Part 2 + rewrite

Fun fact: I had written an entire essay about my excitement for the rewrite and chapter 3 and beyond but it got too long!

It boiled down to me wondering why I'm so excited for this rewrite and realizing it's because I feel comfortable enough to approach it with complete creative freedom. I wrote the first iteration of the demo with the constant worries swimming in my head like "I hope people understand what I'm trying to say here" and "I hope this situation is being read the way I intended for it to be read." And I think I sort of had those thoughts tenfold while writing Part 2. If you paid attention, you can probably see where I was trying to shut down certain discussions in the narrative lmao

Recently I had a tiny epiphany and reminded myself that it's not always about what I intend to write, but what is being understood by each reader. And yes this is basic writing 101 but let me have this moment of clarity okay. Embracing that means I can proceed with Infamous without holding back and sticking to my guns in regards to what I want for this story aka I'm just going to write what I write and like....not worry about the rest you feel (while of course integrating the common critiques and suggestions and improving on the things Infamous falls short in—I am not Shakespeare lmao)

ANYWAY my point is that I'm excited to fix up the demo !!! and just go back to it with complete confidence in myself and write whatever the heck feels right to me (and write the rest of the story lolol) and return with a better story than I have now for everyone!!

✮ — December will be for

planning what I'm going to improve and squeezing that in a reworked outline so it can flow much better narratively.

Outlining Chapter 3 and hopefully have the bare bones first draft drafted up which is mostly just be writing blocks of descriptions

I'm not sure I'll have anything substantial to justify looking for beta testers so soon yet but maybe!

work on my spice writing babey writing/reading spice makes me actually physically recoil but im determined to get better! which reminds me to finish the 6k follower gifts!

And also take a small breather because I am moving!

✮ — Patreon

I've already mentioned this on Patreon and a few times on here, but I do want to reiterate that Patreon content is coming out in bulk this month, in case anyone was wondering why I'm not posting as frequently. The content is still the same in terms of the quantity, it just won't be released every few days! thank you guys for being understanding of that <3

✮ —

My activity has is decreasing little by little due to my move but I do read every question and try to at least answer one question a day. I get quite a few mentions lately so I have to sort through those since I do get tagged in things, but I miss them due to my notifications. Usually I hope for the best and hope tracking the tag puts it on my dashboard <3 im not ignoring anyone!

That's all for now! Hope everyone has a happy December and Happy Holidays!

[gender-snatched]

explain EXACTLY how clara is a horrible way for moffat to try to rip off rose but didnt manage to take any of the things that made rose a good character. Do it.

oh BABEY lets go. Under cut because you know how I get. Also because I’m tagging this and I have basic courtesy for Clara fans.

Okay, so this will be formatted in a very simple compare and contrast structure. Rose will come first in most examples.

Okay, so Rose and Clara have a lot of major similarities. First is that they are both romantic companions of the Doctor (where the Doctor has requited feelings, so not like Martha) who don't have an explicit kiss/confession/etc scene. They also both oversee the Doctor through a regeneration and have to adapt to a new Doctor.

That's not all that Clara and Rose have in common, but this is a good starting point to compare and contrast.

Rose and Clara both are in love with the Doctor and the Doctor loves them back. This is explicit, even if there isn't some sort of confession or kiss (prior to the beach scene/the end of Clara's run). I personally, as someone who didn't originally ship 9Rose/10Rose, think that Rose's was much better. Until I started romantically shipping Rose and the Doctor, I was able to injest their seasons as a queerplatonic relationship. I also didn't watch every episode and feel like there were distinctly romantic overtones that tainted it.

Clara is the exact opposite. Despite there not being any sort of confession or kiss, her run with the Doctor is completely saturated with the romantic tension in a sort of will-they-wont-they way. And it's almost unbearable if you don't ship them, which is so valid!

They also both have boyfriends at home, Mickey and Danny. Both Mickey and Danny are treated in similarly racist ways, but that's an essay for later. Mickey is Rose's boyfriend, and their relationship is cut short by her travelling with the Doctor. Still, we don't see Mickey try to actively stop her, and he does eventually even travel with them for a few episodes. Also, even though he loves Rose, we also see that he's had affairs while Rose is away, dampening any sort of sense of "hey should Rose have been having an emotional affair with the Doctor?"

Danny, on the other hand, is gained after Clara starts travelling on the TARDIS, meaning the relationship was never formed on a solid ground - Clara was in love with the Doctor. He's also deeply controlling of her trying to get on the TARDIS and travel, to the point that Clara lies about travelling with the Doctor. It's a deeply problematic relationship (and it ends weird jfc). It's a parallel to Mickey, except Mickey and Rose both remain at least likable in their relationship. This makes Clara and Danny both worse to me.

They also both see the Doctor through a regeneration (9 to 10 and 11 to 12). They are the only companions to do this - Donna didn't see 10 to 11 and Bill didn't see 12 to 13. It doesn't surprise me that it's tied in with their romantic feelings. It’s an easy romantic conflict, at least where Doctor Who is concerned. He changes his face and personality, is it still the same man?

Both react with a bit of concern at first, and surprisingly I actually really like Clara’s emotional conflict! Rose accepts it fast, which is good, but Clara’s little arc is fun. But still, not only is it almost unnecessary romantic drama, it makes this whole thing of “the doctor is so old now, is it weird I like him?” Personally, I did have that qualm about 12Clara. But I wouldn’t really have if it wasn’t for the show pushing it as a sort of moral thing. The way Moffat used it as this romantic roadblock made it seem like this terrible terrible thing (although I didn’t like 11 so I was vibing). In the end, it’s just another “too much to be a mistake” connection between Rose and Clara.

Okay, now that that’s out of the way. Bad Wolf vs the Impossible Girl. Quick summary first: Bad Wolf is a symbol that appears throughout season 1, only for it to be revealed at the end that Rose takes the heart of the TARDIS in and becomes Bad Wolf, spreading it through time to signal herself. Clara is the Impossible Girl because the Doctor meets her twice before actually meeting her (once as Oswin Oswald in a Dalek and again as Clara Oswin Oswald as a Victorian nanny), and she split herself into fragments to go through the Doctor’s history and save him from a guy who was doing the same thing to kill the Doctor.

So, the obvious parallels are that they both get that foreshadowing, it has to do with being spread through time, it involves saving the Doctor, and there’s a funky little name for it. Great! All of the companions up until Bill had a funky little name! (Seriously though where is Bill’s funky little name). But that’s not the thing about it. The thing is those other similarities.

The thing is, I’m insane about Bad Wolf. I love Bad Wolf. I think it’s a great romantic declaration as well as just so cool and interesting. But part of what makes Bad Wolf interesting is that it isn’t a mystery from Day One. I’ll admit that maybe it’s my personal preference, but the Impossible Girl is going “wow what’s up with Oswald” from the second time she ever shows up. Conversely, Bad Wolf is hard to notice and could just be a cool Easter Egg until the Doctor points it out in Boom Town. The need to finish this mystery keeps its hooks in more than the actual content of the episodes.

Also Clara’s stint as the Impossible Girl is to save the Doctor at the expense of herself. I don’t want to make this all about Moffat’s failures (although I could), but this is a common theme I’ve seen throughout Moffat’s era. The women seem to be completely there for the Doctor - even when they disagree with him. Clara is willing to die for the Doctor in this moment.

But that’s not what Bad Wolf is. Bad Wolf isn’t Rose going “I’m going to die for the Doctor”. It’s Rose going “hey, I’m going to save the Doctor (and Jack) and I won’t be left behind to a normal life I don’t want.” She didn’t know she was in danger! She just wanted to bring the TARDIS back to Station what’s it’s number!

And that’s what I don’t like about the companions in RTD’s ears vs Moffat’s era. RTD women certainly have their 2000s misogyny, but they pass the Bechdel test much more and seem to have far more agency in their relationship with the Doctor than any of Moffat’s women. All of Moffat’s women depend only on the Doctor while Rose was an entity separate from the Doctor - another reason her romance with 9 and 10 feels much more organic and palatable than Clara’s romance with 11 and 12.

Like. When Rose yelled at the Doctor it felt real and genuine and he worked to earn her forgiveness and Clara was like “that sucks dude!!!” and then remembered the Doctor was the Doctor and stopped.

Okay I’m done complaining about that. Onto the next!

I think I’ve run out of comparisons. I know I have more but I’ve forgotten them (hell mind) so now we’re going to go onto why Clara is just... less compelling than Rose.

I’ve already gone over the Moffat women vs RTD women thing, and I won’t revisit that. So I’m going to go over character differences that Rose had that made her more interesting and compelling that Clara is missing.

First, Rose is lower class! She’s got a lower class accent, lives in a flat with her mother, and works at a department store. She’s happy, but she’s lower class and that impacts her character! For example, like that one “what’re your pronouns and do you want to join a union” post about her and the Ood! She’s way more compassionate because of this, and care is taken to make her character from this (she wears Jackie’s hand me downs, even on the TARDIS).

On the other hand, Clara is middle class (? I don’t know how these things work in Britain). She lives in her own house, she’s got privileges, she’s a school teacher. And even though I’m middle class and want to be a teacher, it makes her harder to sympathize with because we see so little character of who she is here. Yes, she’s one of the most fully developed Moffat characters outside of her relationship with the Doctor, but it still isn’t that human, because it feels like it’s the standard of what you expect. Contrast this with Rose, who has a very real and well thought out life outside of the Doctor.

Rose also has more friends - or at least some sort of social life. She drops names - Shareen, a few more I can’t remember - and she knows people! Someone from the shop, or some guy’s daughter. When she comes back, Jackie fills the flat with people. Because Rose has friends! It makes her seem so human!

And then Clara has what? A few people, and Danny. That’s it. She’s totally dependent on the Doctor. It doesn’t make her any more human. And that’s the problem. Rose is human first, and a companion second. Clara is a companion (and female) first, and a human second.

Also, Clara is hard to concentrate on because we have seen this before. This sort of “will they won’t they” “they’re in love but they don’t say it” was done with Rose. We have a vague idea of how it’ll turn out, and surprise! It does turn out very similarly.

Plus, Clara has two fun things of “being the Doctor as a companion” and “being the Hybrid”. However, these are not written incredibly well, because of the obsession with keeping her a companion. Compare them to Yaz in Flux and PotD, where they pull off the “companion as the Doctor” trick without even having Yaz describe herself as the Doctor. In comparison, Clara is only the Doctor and the Hybrid if the Doctor is close by.

In the end, Clara is fun! There are aspects of her run I love! Time Heist is one if my favorite episode! The “do you really think I love you so little that betraying me would make a difference?” line is so compelling! Heaven Sent/Hell Bent are amazing episodes! But their potential completely outweighs what they were. So, when I compare Rose and Clara, I not only see Rose as a much more compelling character, I see Clara as an echo of Rose.

5 Otome/Romance Game Men I Adore

Thank you so much @pseudofaux for tagging me! Also, thank you for saying that your own list was not in order or an exhaustive list because I often feel pressured to make a perfect list in these types of situations lol but if pseu was chill I can also be chill (EDIT: no there’s actually a lot of screaming below and absolutely no chill, I’m sorry, I lied.) 

I always talk too much and break too many rules when I do these things but that's just how I am lmfao so I'm gonna start off by saying IkeSen's Nobunaga Oda is my absolute favorite otome game man of all time... but I'm not going to officially include him on this list because I talk about him too much as it is already and I feel like enough people love him anyway. However, if anyone is interested in hearing me talk about Nobunaga ad nauseam, I will gladly entertain you. 

On to my list ~

1. Caramia, OZMAFIA!! - Ozmafia!! is my favorite otome game (MC be damned) and I love this man sooooooo much. His wedding CG has actually been the background on my phone for ages now. You know the "that's where the trouble began, that damned smile" meme? THAT'S FUCKING FOR HIM THAT'S HIM!!!!!!!!! That smile ruined my entire life in the best possible way and I have not known peace since. I guess I have a bit of A Thing for loveable, charismatic leaders. I just love a man who is full of power but big of heart ... and a little bit of a dumbass. Caramia is just like the total package...  He protecc, but he also attacc, and he also a snacc. Oh, and he can cook!!!

2. Fenrir Godspeed, Ikemen Revolution - Fenrir is really, really special to me and I put him in his own category entirely. In reality, Fenrir and Ray are actually tied as my IkeRev biases (and honestly I prefer them together; Alice is optional). Fenrir is actually so close to my heart that I refuse to even look at almost all fanfiction with him in it, with few exceptions. The fear that someone could "ruin" him by writing him in a way that even slightly disagrees with the way I picture him in my head (and I have seen it) is really too much for me to handle. Is this unhealthy of me? Probably, but I tend to avoid the situation all together so it doesn't matter. Not only do I self-insert in my games but I'm also not one of those people who separate fiction from real-life really well, so all of my biases are people I'd actually fall for IRL. And Fenrir is really special to me because he is actually the most perfect, ideal boyfriend in my mind but he is someone I absolutely do not deserve IRL and would probably run from for fear of ruining things. :'] So while any otome game man is a fantasy, he's like... top tier fantasy for me. He's just so perfectly easy-going, such a Prince Charming, Knight in Shining Armor, easy to read, so ready to love you, SO MUCH FUN... he's a Good Boi without being naive and innocent... he's like a wild-yet-safe adventure ugh he's like   p e r f e c t    I cry

3. Raymond, Blood in Roses - I don't necessarily think Blood in Roses is a great game; it definitely has its hits and its misses BUT it did grant me this one amazing man and therefore I will never uninstall it. I mentioned that I like lovable leaders but I also thoroughly enjoy being able to break down a brick wall of a man. Raymond starts off by being pretty cold to MC, caring really only for his duty (I love a loyal man), but takes MC under his wing anyway... and slowly realizes he has feelings for her and then of course becomes someone who is willing to die for her. This is peak romance, don't @ me.

4. Zen, Mystic Messenger - Zen is actually not my favorite to romance (that honor belongs to Jumin) but he is my #2. More importantly than the romance though, he is such a fucking good guy in every single route... ignoring all of Chertiz's little homophobic undertones of course (man do I wish Chertiz would rewrite Mystic Messenger so it's not so conservative, pleaseeee). He is willing to stand up for and protect MC in every route, not just his own. In all routes, he offers himself to MC as a shoulder to lean on, someone to cry to. He is always helpful to everyone!! Even though he and Jumin don't see eye to eye on most things, Zen is still ultimately supportive of him and wants what's best for him. ZEN IS A TRUE BRO. He's also super chill like he's all about his acting and performing... but he just also wants to drink beer, eat street food, and smoke cigarettes all day. I know people get turned off by his narcissism but fucking look at him okay he has every (!!!) right to be narcissistic. Plus, he doesn't let his ego get in the way of love and friendship and that's very important !!! In this essay, I will -

5. Leonardo DaVinci, Ikemen Vampire - I just want to type his name and send like 150000 weary emojis after it and be done with it. Honestly, it is at the point where I think he is on Nobunaga level for me. I have fallen very, very hard for him. I have two IkeVamp accounts and between the two of them I think I have done his full route about six or seven times. Every time I get to the scene where Comte suggests that Leonardo breaks it off with MC, I want to scream at the top of my lungs "BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM" like Ariel does in The Little Mermaid (Leonardo has his own moment where he internally shouts "I LOVE HER!!!!" so we're even tbh). First of all, HE IS SO FUCKING KNOWLEDGEABLE HE KNOWS SO MUCH AND HE KEEPS LEARNING THAT SHIT IS HOT. Also, I have seen people disagree with me on this but I personally don't think he's patronizing to MC. His MC, unfortunately, is written in that way where "ugh he's so mature and I is babey" so, of course, there are moments where he plays off of that but he literally has SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE and he never is like "wow I can't believe you don't know that you idiot" to MC even though the opportunity to do that is plentiful. He will tease her, sure, but that's totally different than being mean about it. The best thing about him being so intelligent is the fact he's also a fucking dumbass (I love me a dumbass, as you all know). He loves MC so, so much even though he doesn't show that in the smartest of ways all the time... but... he fucking walked into a dress shop and designed a whole ass custom dress for her?? He even picked out the fabric??? And then he pretended like it was Comte who chose it??? HELLOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE HIM I'M ACTUALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO TYPE IN CAPS I LOVE HIS MIND I LOVE HIM 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'm gonna sneak in an extra number because I absolutely must.

6. Trash, Aloners - If you have never played Aloners, you really should because it is seriously an amazing visual novel (thank you @dear-mrs-otome  for casually mentioning this game like one time in a discord server otherwise I’m not sure that I would have found out about it). You can get it for free (or pay $5 for the redeux version), so there’s really no excuse unless you don’t have a computer. The love between MC and Trash is not the main plot of the story necessarily, but Trash is such a good man and he deserves the lovin'. Trash is like the perfect combination of sweet and snarky, respectful yet teasing, competent but dumb, has a good heart but doesn't always make the best decisions... in conclusion, what choice did I have but to fall helplessly in love??? 

This has been fun, I absolutely love screaming about 2D bois... I hope y’all don’t mind tags (also I haven’t really been around a lot so if you’ve been tagged already I’m sorry ;w;)  @luciens-one-and-only-sea-otter @lovingikesen @toonamifaithful @emeraldtawny @littlelady-blackwell @alloveroliver

@alyonian

relationship status:

at the moment i’m single! and while being in a relationship sounds brilliant, the last two relationships i was involved in? didn’t work out to say the least, lucky i’m still young

favourite colour:

it’s been emerald green for the longest time but orange seems to be dethroning it at a steady pace

lipstick or chapstick:

i haven’t used chapstick since i was six but i probably should use it again, water is my substitute rn fdghdgh - and i haven’t ever used lipstick in any capacity? so i’d have to go with the former

last song i listened to:

the space traveller’s lullaby | kamasi washington - i’m trying to get through his second album rn (i left off on the second disk yesterday) and while everything he makes is undeniably amazing, it’s? a three hour album? i don’t have the attention span for his spiritual jazz, as great as it is

last movie:

monsters inc is playing on the television right now, i’ll go with that! the animation aged kinda badly but it’s still such a fun movie! sidenote: james p. sullivan? a childhood crush, so this gives me memories

top 3 tv shows/podcasts/comics:

i rarely, if ever, venture into these forms of media but! if i had to answer, i’d say;

unbreakable kimmy schmidt / parks & recreation / luke cage

taz / mbmbam (i havent like. watched a full episode of either but they seem cool,)

tf idw / …………. yeah that’s it, i’ve never read anything else. probably should!

additional favs:

my friends, writing (in theory), listening to video essays, learning music theory + instruments and understanding audio production software

top 3 bands / artists:

HHH okay if i had to limit my choices to just three artists, uh. lorde, the mountain goats, and sophie. i couldnt even fit janelle in i hate th is

----------------------------------

@alyonian

color(s): light colors are always nice and pleasant, though anything peachy and sandy are the best! orange (specially pastel orange) is like. the best thing

last band t-shirt i bought: usually merchandising is very expensive and i dont have the money to accommodate that, but like. i do recall having a wiggles shirt when i was five. i wore it all the time, shjdjgsksd im sure that counts

last band i saw live: i almost went to splendor in the grass last year with family, which wasn't only cool since i’ve never been out of the state since i immigrated - the festival was in queensland, which is around a two hour flight from victoria - but the lineup was pretty fuckin lit too! the xx, haim, peking duk, tash sultana, future islands, vallis alps, a.b original,, i was p excited! unfortunately my uncle fell ill and so they had to give the tickets to extended family :( otherwise, i haven't been to a single concert in my life

last song i listened to: street fighter mas | kamasi washington - up to this song on the album and i really fuckin dig this! also the video is hypnotizing

last movie i watched: monsters inc is about to finish and up next is monsters university! which like…. honestly, this is an extremely unpopular opinion but, i like it just as much as the original? my opinion might be skewed because i’m a monster [hugger], but i like everything abt the movie! except for the finale of the scare games and the last five minutes of the movie, both were just. dreadful.

last three tv shows i watched: if aggretsuko counts that’s the last series i watched of my own volition, which is a miracle in itself considering that’s legit only the second anime i’ve watched to completion (the first being shirokuma cafe, which i probably need to re-watch). otherwise, the last two shows i had beared witness to were thirteen reasons why and queer eye bc my cousin put them on! that first show i could completely do without but queer eye is iconique

last 3 characters i identified with: grimlock (legit. all of them), urdnot grunt (mass effect) and vector the crocodile (sth), i’m not sure what this says about me other than Big

book(s) i’m currently reading: i’m reading ‘maus’ by art spiegelman at the moment, for the third time i believe? i believe my classmates are supposed to be writing an essay on this next term and shit, this novel is heartbreaking, i haven't been this emotional when reading a book than… ever, really. it’s a recommendation of the highest caliber

Zodiac Sign: Virgo

Height: 5′9 with back problems

Nationality: European Australian with a very distant Irish background

Favourite Flower: Mexican Snowballs (Echeveria Elegans Rose) are pretty and looks like they’ll eat you if you look directly into them

Favourite Scent: ... Not at all a creepy question btw My sense of smell is super f’ed up so it’d have to be a super strong caramel scent

Favourite Colour: Light green!!

Favourite Animal: Snowy Owls and Tawny Frogmouths because I love owls- Even my Pokemon starter is Rowlet

Favourite Fictional Character(s): Oof, get ready for this indecisive mess - Deceit, Logan, Remus, Roman from Sanders Sides - Sans and Chara from Undertale - Nightmare Sans, Cross Sans, Dust Sans from Undertale AU’s cause I was into that fandom for three whole years - Loki, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Stephen Strange from the MCU - Deadpool from his movies - Sherlock and Moriarty from BBCs Sherlock - Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls It usually depends on my current fixation Right now; it’s Sanders Sides

Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: NONE OF EM! Milo all the way babey! And if it was a choice, energy drink. I’m addicted. It’s not a good thing but I don’t seem to care enough to stop.

Average Sleep Hours: 4-5hrs cause I dislike the act of sleeping and I have insomnia anyway. I know I should sleep. I know it’s a necessary bodily function. Doesn’t mean I gotta like it.

Dog or cat person: Both! Although currently, I have a Mr Meow named Felix (cause he looks like Felix the Cat from the cartoons)

Dream Trip: Go see the Catacombs of Paris to see all the dead people and/or Rome to see all the deceased temple buildings cause I’m a mythology nerd

Blog Established: Uuuuh... December 2019? I think

Followers: 14! .... When did that happen...

Random Fact: I have so many... Which one do I pick... I’ll mention three cause I have so many! And I like talking about myself so that people have the chance to connect with me more.  THAT ONE DIDN’T COUNT   1. I’ve played every Pokemon game (just bought Mystery Dungeons preorder) and I usually reset before I’m able to Catch ‘Em All but I always beat the Elite Four and the Champion first.    2. I once wrote a five page essay on how chickens were evil in 3rd or 4th grade and I remember how surprised my teacher was. I still believe to this day that they are evil beings with stabby mouths.   3. I have a half-aboriginal 11yr old brother that sasses me daily. He is my entire life and the whole reason why I stopped self-harming a few years ago. No one messes with my little bro’s happiness.  

Okay! Uhm... Idk who to tag...

It’s not twenty, but it is eight.

Please don’t feel obligated to do this. You don’t have to if you don’t want to; there is no contract that is signed with your blood. Promise 💛💙
