so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell
#yes i read 'carry on' by rainbow rowell in middle school what else could you have possibly expected from me. anyway she gives me simon snow#vibes and not in a good way and she's even blonde while her british vampire boyfriend has dark dark hair and just. you will never be basil.#also i hate to be that guy but the writing has made me physically recoil and the acting almost reads as silly but mostly as middling :/ and#i wanted and expected more from matthew goode bc i really liked him in downton but i guess this is a 2018 bbc modern vampire fantasty serie#like i guess.#also there's SO much shit about bloodlines and maybe i'm gay with a blood disorder amd a family history of adoption but like. who fucking#careeessssssssss it ahould not be that serious. why is it that serious.#also the fantasy racism kind of reads like it's mesnt to be? homophobic adjacent? like there's a Lot of 'love who you love' talk going on#for the single most bland heterosexual relationship i've ever seen on a screen like there is so little chemistry? so little#anyway it's called 'a discovery of witches' and i'd recommend not watching it 🫶 or if you do then watch it on 1.5x speed#it's been decent background noise for knitting bc i kinda sorta care about the plot but if miss a chunk bc i'm in the lace chart zone i do#not care and i do not have to go back to catch it bc the writing is so transparent#there was another series it stole from that's escaping me atm but when i noticed it pissed me off a touch. hmm maybe it will come back to m#a post#do not watch this show#I REMEMBERED they wanted the juliette holding diana captive moment to be joaquin's 'i want to watch you fuck her' from sense8 SOOOOO BAD bu#it WASN'T bc they were too afraid to lean into anything that would make juliette interesting at all. for being all about the world's most#special blonde woman this show does not seem to like women very much. sad! well there's other shows#OH ALSO ALSO there are 3 magical 'creature' species which are witch + vampire + femon except the demons don't seem? to have any magical#abilities that humans don't have besides sensing the species of other creatures? like witches can cast spells and vampires do their various#vampire things but demons have nothing going for them except disproportionately high rates of homelessness and suicide?? like girl what are#we doingggggggg what are we doing here !! what's their deal why does no one care !! can they do anything or no !! god this show sucks

METEOR GARDEN (2018 CHINESE ADAPTATION)
So the ending was Dong Shancai (SHEN YUE) was told by Ximen (CEASAR WU) that she rejected Daoming Si (DYLAN WANG) and he moved to London.
Then Daoming Si appeared making the same demands of when they met. Shancai denied him and he left. Then Daoming Zhaung (HSU DEE) appeared with two backup dancers and danced to the song RIVER (by BISHOP BRIGGS aka SARAH MCLAUGHLIN) which is a popular song in the states at that time.
She then tried to summon Daoming Si but instead got Hauze Lei (DARREN CHEN) Ximen (CEASAR WU) and Meizuo (LEON LEONG) having to choose one of them to marry. They all make their pitch.
After she turns them all down they summon Daoming Si who appears with every other guy that fell for our heroine Shancai including her best friend Qing He (LIN YIN HAO) Thomas (BLAKE ABBIE) and Tian Ye (WANG RUN ZE)
They were married by Daoming Si's sister without Shancai's parents or Daoming Si's evil mother who by this point wasn't trying to stop them in attendance. But the two mean girls that sent Shancai into a blizzard were there. But like @pose4photoml said...they got their happy ending.
#METEOR GARDEN#2018 CHINESE ADAPTATION#SILLY ENDING BUT WE STILL LOVE IT#HANA YORI DANGO/BOYS OVER FLOWERS UNIVERSE#SHANCAI GETS HER MAN#DAOMING SI GETS HIS WOMAN#STRANGE ENDING#BUT WE LOVE SHEN YUE AND DYLAN WANG#AND BEFORE LEAVING DAOMING FENG BURNED THEM SOME BREAKFAST...HOW SWEET🫣#My GIFS#MYGIFSET#MY-GIF-EDIT#THIS IS LITERALLY MY 50TH REWATCH#WHICH ONE SHALL I REWATCH NEXT?#I'M DOING THE KOREAN ONE NEXT#IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME#I'LL GIF SOME OF THAT ONE TOO#I LOVE LEE MIN-HO#HERE I COME GU JUN-PYO#BL-BAM-BEYOND FAMILY OF BLOGS#SHANCAI IS THE LADY OF THE DAOMING MANSION AS DAOMING FENG IS OFF TO FIND HERSELF

One thing I don't think people consider re: the complaints about epithets in fiction. (Eg. The taller man did xyz, the blonde smiled)
Here's the thing. If you're writing a scene in 3rd person between 2+ people (or even first/second person if there's the narrator/"you" and 1 other person) who both/all use the same pronouns, there are gonna be circumstances where using pronouns is going to create confusion.
And yeah, you could use their names, and you probably should periodically, but in an action heavy (not action as in fighting, action as in any description of a physical actions- reaching, touching, drinking, etc) and dialogue light scene, once again you are gonna run into a point where every other sentence has the character's name in it, and gets repetitive as hell to read.
Some people aren't bothered by this, some people are really taken out of the story by it.
So shocker, epithets, like every other writing element that is deemed overused, should be used deliberately and in moderation + combination with other methods (in this case of referring to a character).
A scene containing a healthy mix of name, pronouns, & the occasional epithet for clarity is over all going to read better than if you Never Ever Use Epithets because tumblr told you it's bad.
I promise you every single person who writes reblogging complaints or guides on the ONLY way to use them has done it and just forgot bc they did it in a way that makes sense & reads naturally.
#sky speaks#epithets#its giving the old Never Use 'Very' Or Any Descriptor Ending In 'ly' bs from like 2018 come on we know how this goes by now#im tired and this is a thing I can actually articulate my frustration with so here we are#ps bet your favorite published author does it too

Genuinely, where are ML people congregating these days. None of the Discord servers I'm in are super active anymore and I barely see people in them posting about new episodes/specials and definitely not as they're airing. Where is the new episode camaraderie
There used to be so many active Discord servers and groups on Tumblr/Instagram who talked about where to find links for whatever was coming out and livestreamed episodes themselves and went crazy while watching them all together and I can't tell if this is something that has gone by the wayside fandom-wide or if I am a loser who just isn't invited to be part of these things
#miraculous ladybug#honestly ml is a pretty interesting case study#I've been here since 2015 so like right at the beginning and it was easier to watch livestreamed episodes then than it is now#people are very cagey about links and wont give them out anymore#when it used to be very celebratory to share links and people would like. bond in livestream chats#god do people even remember le ranch. do people even know how watching that before episodes came out changed us#people dont even talk about new episode links until like. an hour before the episode comes out#so youre kind of sol if you dont live in a convenient timezone#and this is probably due to a whole number of things. ml getting more popular so people realized#they could make money off of livestreaming it#and then going after all other livestreams to get them taken down so we all had to use to same one site (miraculous.to)#disney taking over and getting real strict about their content takedowns#twitter going to hell. instagram getting worse. people leaving tumblr in 2018.#brand ambassadors changing how they interacted with fandom. fandom getting a lot bigger#so everything got a lot more spread out with more cliques and groups completely separated/unaware of each other#people who did a lot of the legwork leaving fandom and not explaining to anyone how to do what they used to#popular hosting sites getting taken down#etc etc etc

"each thing I learn about you just makes me want to know you more" <-text from my neighbor just now. i don't know what i'm winning at, but i'm definitely winning at something.
#he wants to go for a walk tomorrow so i can tell him about my favorite words from the french dictionary.#'do you do anything that's not dorky and interesting?' <-another direct quote#he said that before he knew about the dictionary. this was in response to learning i write crosswords#joke's on him though because now that he knows about the dictionary i think he's caught up on all the dorky & interesting stuff#i do feel like i'm really winning this acquaintanceship. not as a competition between him and me but rather#as a competition between this acquaintanceship and all other acquaintanceships i've had with other people#the trick is to not say anything about your hobbies for the first like. four interactions. then you start parceling them out one at a time.#it only works because we have so much other stuff to talk about. being neighbors.#like at no point have we had to do the awkward 'so what do you do for fun?' thing. so it's just when it comes up organically#anyway i'm enjoying this because i usually feel like i'm a VERY boring person#but i have just been nailing the pacing here. the suspense! keep em wanting more#myfirstname mylastname international man of mystery#also the other day we were talking and i said 'i told you about my mom's vibrator‚ right?' because i was sure i had told him that story#and he was like NO????? so basically he just thinks my life is about 5000% more interesting than it actually is#i'm fine with that though. if it means i get a walking buddy (who has a cat! and gives me fruit sometimes!!!) all the better#fuck it i will just make a tag for him#voisin de palier#now i need to find my first post about him from like 2018 when i was sooooo suspicious of him for absolutely no reason

when she knows I'm disabled and flying is terrible for me

I'm gonna scream
#jersonal#she was just in ohio a couple weeks ago#which is just an 8hr drive from where i'm at#and like she drove to ohio from florida#and then drove to south carolina to see my brother before going back#like........you couldn't....just come over here#since we havent seen each other since...2018?ish#maybe 2017#really shouldve had kids i guess if i wanted my mom to still be in my life

ok im finally reading tbhk and i forgot how much I love this series! tbh the first couple of chapters didn't capture me at all, but by i think chapter 10 i was completely hooked haha
#tbhk#rn im at chap.25 so i still have a lot left#its a monthly series so the chapters are v long#at first I was taken back by the fact that there's not even 100 chapters out lol#but now it makes more sense#i think blue lock just distorted me since it has 200+ while also coming out in 2018#oh yeah for tbhk i watched the anime but heard that they cut out a lot of stuff from the manga#so i was like fuck it ill just read the manga#theyre doing an anime restart (kinda weird since it aired in 2019 i think but im not complaining)#but im not patient enough to wait forit#so here we are

proud to be the (so far) 0.5% of people who use a phone with a smart stylus
if you use multiple, pick the one you use the most, not your preferred one.
#i started traditional.. in the mid-2000s i got a wacom tablet. then drew mostly digital up until hmm.....#2017 or 2018....????? then i ... went fully traditional after that.#learned a few things: i do Way Better when i have a LIMITED CHOICE of what colors i have available to me#this watercolor set only has 12 cakes? as long as it hs primary secondary and tertiary colors then we are game na#or most of them anyway.#point being: digital art gave me too many endless possibilities of color and style and brushes to experiment with#me a chronically indecisive person who overthinks things#now ... painting takes time to set up and making sure i have all my materials in order and whatnot#so sometimes just drawing and inking something in my sketchbook is all the energy i have#but i wanna color something! well here is where i go back to digital art for a bit#my phone display is about 6x3 inches#about 160x77mm#it comes with a smart sylus which is functional enough for me to doodle#the small screen size limits my range of motion so that i dont get too caught up in “maybe a wide stroke here or a big stroke there!”#the size constraints force me to prioritize what i need to do to color my drawings without wasting time deliberating#so. yeah!#so this is the method i use the most AND it is my PREFERRED method#bc i rly do love painting with colored inks but ahhh...#sometimes i got the case of the morbs yknow?

thinking about colorado again send help
#for those who don’t know both sides of my family are from there and it’s where i grew up#but since moving to az 11 years ago i’ve only gotten to go back 3 times which is so sad#we went in june for the first time since 2018 and it was so great but so sad bc it just made me miss living there even more#like i spent half the trip just dreading having to come home and missing colorado while i was still there#and we were only there for a week but just being there made me feel more like myself than i have in years#and a few weeks after we got back my mom said something about how happy i seemed there and how she wishes she could see that girl more often#and like fuck that’s hitting me so hard rn#like it’s one thing to feel that myself but it’s another for someone else to comment on it like i didn’t realize she noticed it too#anyway idk where i’m going with this i just miss it so bad and if i had the money i would drop everything in my current life to move back#obviously moving wouldn’t magically cure my depression or anything but i do genuinely believe i’d be so much happier there#can’t even afford to move out of my moms house at the moment though so here i am#lj.txt
