I have Gravity Falls and Etc. fic(s) idea(s)
Which, I am going to write now while I am having this fic idea (probably going to be a short one, but in the future I might make a revised expanded version or something. Who knows).
I actually have multiple Gravity Falls and GF TAU and Reverse Falls and etc. stuff that stems from this specific The Book of Bill thing.
Specifically stuff exploring Dipper's nightmares.
(I have some other ideas for the other dreams and/or nightmares too. Sometimes even in relation to Dipper's in some way).
I love my boy, and his nightmares hurt my heart.
But also because I love him, I want to explore even more of issues/trauma/suffering and/or to do Dipper angst. And etc.
Because I want both happiness and/or suffering for my faves/the characters I love very much.
Like Dipper.
So he is going to be getting even more of that from me, probably.
Because he is great and I love him.

Bullet Point Tag
@spideronthesun tagged me and I thank you so much! I'm going to gently offer up the tag to @alintalzin @peach-the-gospel @real-fragments @gummybugg @minamaybe and leaving an open tag for anyone who wants to participate :D
Rules: Summarize your story in fifteen 2-5 word bullet points (as if you were trying to summarize it in fifteen seconds)
Okay! Going to pitch Mavis' second story to you all! Here goes:
Get invited to work for your former arch nemesis
Foolishly agree
Replace daddy-issues with relationship issues in general
Take on a case to find former arch nemesis' heir-apparent when she goes missing
Deal with the consequences of your own actions from book one
Almost die in a fire rescuing some kittens
Almost die in a secret demonic cult's attempt at human sacrifice
Find heir-apparent and almost die
Lose former arch nemesis when he gets pulled through a portal to hell
Lose arm in the process
I've really put Mavis through the ringer in this book, and it needs some serious re-writing in it's second draft, but that's essentially all the major plot beats (except the kittens- they're not relevant to the plot, but it's nice to have something that's not doom/gloom/death!)

People like this have made me terrified that I am mischaracterizing my favorite character by playing into his strengths and emphasizing them so much... That I'm making things "too anime", "too over-the-top", and by doing that straying away from the groundedness that made the character compelling in the first place... But I think it's better to be a fan who loves someone so much they're willing to step into goofy over-the-top showcases of strength and morals out of love than being a fake fan who only ever rags on what they proclaim is so dear to them. I dunno. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that. I'm hella insecure when it comes to my own writing, especially with this guy because I want to do him as much justice as I possibly can as a writer. But I have to convince myself that it's not too much.
#logs#it doesn't help that i've been exposed to a lot of bad writing and cynical critique in general‚ so i'm even more fearful...#but i think the cure for that is to just... read more‚ and read with an honest heart#i don't know... i feel like i have a lot of growth to do as a person‚ as a reader and writer before i can execute this to the level where it#can truly be considered a masterpiece. grounded‚ yet not so. over-the-top in every way while also providing meaningful critique and#commentary on the nature of humanity. gutwrenching dialogue packed neatly with the most insane displays of asskicking. commentary on how war#is cruel and bad and only sows misery contrasted with the coolest battle scenes you have ever seen. these are the essence of the things i#love‚ and i want to be able to channel that through my own writing as well. it's the only way to do justice to the source material‚ the only#way to truly pay a tribute to the things that i love.#now that i am free‚ i can finally become more cultured... read more books‚ watch more films‚ inhale old mecha anime... it's what i've always#dreamed of doing#i just need to undo the mental shackles of ''i cannot do this right now''... i can. i finally can. i just need to let my mind catch up to#that. give it a little push along the way#once that's done... the journey begins.#i anguish a lot over the fact that my writing is locked in a tomb for the next decade... but sometimes‚ like now‚ i think‚ hey‚ maybe that#isn't so bad. imagine how many movies you can watch in those ten years... good movies‚ bad ones‚ exceptional ones... i'll have grown so much#as a writer by that point in time because i'll have learned the ''how'' part of what i want to write. i have the ''what'' already‚ and a#general idea of ''how''‚ but... ten years from now‚ i'll be able to write everything in a way that truly makes my eyes shine#a rare moment of me being hopeful for the future... i cherish it as those don't last very long in my life. i more often tend to despair#(cursed be the chemical disbalance!)#but yeah. there is a lot to look forward to despite the hardships. sure it would've been nice to just... have it all here‚ but... that's not#the world i live in. and maybe this one isn't so bad‚ either.#i have my box of scraps. now i just need to make it out of the cave.#the deadliest type of man is one with motivation and a purpose. right?

i know we are at the last leg of peaceful property, but i still cant help but imagine we get a cinderella ending.
which can go either way: original story v/s the disney version, and i don't know which is worst because the original version of cinderella is too realistic and the disney version is very romantic and fictional.
in the real world, it is easy for peach to go to jail, and somkid to walk free because of the power he has. and how power and greed work hand in hand while capitalism exists.
but, ik gmmtv wont kill its main lead. they cannot, right???

I hope we see Lucifer training Charlie in Season 2. Plus it'd be cute if Vaggie was watching and Charlie decided to see if she also wanted to join in. Because Cmom, you know if she asks him to train her too he's gonna fold like Adam.
Are you me??? I literally left a reply on someone's post about wanting to see Lucifer more in season 2 and being scared it's not gonna happen cuz he's so OP and the main character is charlie and she has to solve her own problems
and I just went in with a reply like "OKAY BUT WHAT IF HE GETS TO TRAIN HER???" That solves both problems???? We get to see more of him AND Charlie gets to problem solve without him needing to just OP his way through the story
I didn't imagine Vaggie tho! :o
seriously tho the exact thought that's been on loop in my head is Charlie accidentally activates some sort of mega-angel beam or whatever, hits Lucifer in full, and she just panics CUZ OMG DAD, DID I JUST KILL YOU??? and then from the pile of rubble, Lucifer sticks out a thumbs up and you hear a muffled "THAT WAS AMAZING SWEETIE DO IT AGAIN"
#hazbin hotel#lucifer morningstar#lucifer#charlie morningstar#okay but can I be real with you guys#I am lowkey TERRIFIED that something's going to happen to Lucifer#not for narrative reasons#which like okay I can imagine them too cuz i'm a very cruel writer to my own characters#BUT#for meta reasons#it's terrible that Lucifer is my favorite cuz we're just not going to get to see him that much#he's way too OP#he can create whatever he wants#power sweeps everyone#literal king of hell nobody is going to mess with him#so unless they really nerf him with the depression (which doesn't seem likely given the finale)#they're (the writers) are going to need to come up with a reason#why lucifer can't just sweep in and solve all of his baby's problems with a snap of his fingers#which leaves only a few options for him#1) most of the problems onward are social/relationship based which Lucifer can't control#2) most of the problems are with heaven which he has no influence over#3) he's dissociating too much of the time to realize there's even a problem happening#or... my greatest fear#4) he's going to get killed off/have something incredibly bad happen to him that immobilizes him to raise stakes#or I guess 5) alastor manipulates charlie and Lucifer to transfer his deal over to lucifer instead of charlie Little Mermaid style#but still#ngl as a writer#I don't see very many GOOD options for his character in the future#which is very conflicting for me cuz I love angst and whump#but I also want good things for my faves so

I am obsessed with how narratively convenient Lark's divinatory abilities are. She's the only one of the protagonists who is both pragmatic and has a working sense of self-preservation, so having some internal impulse that is actually the guiding hand of the cosmos pushing her into doing the REALLY stupid shit is both necessary and really useful.
Like, I am the type of writer who kind of scoffs at the idea that characters are beyond the writer's control and will completely screw over your outline, because on one hand, a sensible outline will follow the characters' personalities and tendencies anyway. Obviously in an ensemble cast you will need to do some wrangling, but in theory your characters are responding to varying degrees of stimuli in order to maneuver them into the places you need them to be for things to all come together in the end.
But more importantly, "curse from god" is the funniest and easiest way to push any character to do things beyond the realm of reason when necessary, and frankly, what the fuck is the point of playing god if you don't embrace that?

hi!! maybe 🍬 or 🍄 (or both😉) for the ask game
hi liza!! <3 i'll do both because why not :))
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
okay so this might not be unpopular, but i do not think charles is as manipulative/dominant as some want him to be and on the other hand he is not as submissive as others make him - he's the perfect balance of those two if that makes sense lol (explained it more in the tags for those who are interested)
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
my headcanon with charlos is that charles loves when carlos is hairy bc he can rub himself all over him. plus he loves when his hair is longer because it suits him more and he can play with his hair (is this me projecting? possibly.)

The onesie
This was based on my post
Scully with William in tow has decided that she wants do some baby clothes shopping. She parallel parks in front of the store and goes to get the stroller and then William from her SUV.
“Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine” she sings as she places William in the stroller.
She tucks William in “but I helped him drink his wine” she sings to him before headed towards to store’s entrance.
“Okay I can do this” she says to herself, already feeling the emotions of Mulder missing another moment in their lives.
She strolls through the store, picking up some socks, more bibs, and another baby beanie since cooler weather is approaching. She continues to distract herself from her emotions by continuing to hum the words to Jeremiah was a Bullfrog and then she hits the onesies section.
It's as if it was placed there just for her. The perfect onesies for the baby of Spooky Mulder. Holding back tears, she goes closer towards it. It is the cutest onesie she has ever seen. Baby blue with rockets, planets, stars, and a space satellite.
“Keep it together Dana” she thinks to herself as she takes the onesie off the rack. Her efforts to keep her emotions at bay are futile and she thinks about how Mulder would love it. Tears starts rolling down her cheeks as she realizes Mulder is missing out on another moment.
“William your father would love this” she says choking on tears bent over William’s stroller.
“Okay compose yourself” she thinks to herself as she heads to the checkout.
“Awe this is my favorite onesies” the clerk says as she is folding it up and placing it into a bag. “Yeah mine too” Scully says smiling, trying not to let the clerk see her emotions.
Scully places William in the car and puts the stroller up and heads back home fighting back more tears as she looks at William through the rear view mirror.

yellowjackets rant time :)
people whining that natalie’s death was “shitty writing” makes me want to bang my head against the wall. like are you seriously shocked that the show about tragedy and murder has tragedy and murder in it. are you seriously shocked that the show about fucked up people has fucked up people in it.
#same with people who hate van and lottie and tai and shauna and misty and ben and whoever the fuck else for being 'bad people'#'i can't root for these characters!!!!' like lmao way to miss the point of the entire show janet#they're all traumatized people (many of whom experienced that trauma as CHILDREN) and have done awful things and will do awful things again#INCLUDING nat like im sorry you believed that she was the moral compass when the show never explicitly told you that#she's just as fucked up as the rest of them. and thats what makes her interesting#that's also what makes her death compelling and. sorry. WELL WRITTEN#it's tragic and cruel and preventable. and that is the point.#sometimes characters die in media. lmao. and sometimes it isn't well executed#but this was. and it has been set up for a long time if you go back and watch the prior episodes#i understand disliking the finale or the season or whatever. not mad about that.#what i am mad about is equating a personal opinion as an irrefutable fact and proof that the writing is shitty#and sending literal death threats to the writers and creators of a show that have put a lot of work into it#like at the end of the day it's a tv show for entertainment. and you can and should be able to love a character#while ALSO understanding when said character's death is emotionally necessary in a story.#i love nat. but i also understand that her death fits the story. that doesn't make it bad writing by any means#okay im done now#sameera.txt#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers
