I know everyone is making Twilight comparisons, but these are the streets that raised me.

So even though there are no werewolves, it's interesting that we already have the good guys and the bad guys because if Underworld taught me anything is that we trust no gods.

The heat trope is something I see often in fics but I want to talk about ruts and them being the complete opposite to heats.
Not just the classic boring way of heats making a mech needy and ruts making a mech aggressive. Heats are sometimes written as a mech’s internal temperature rising until it’s unbearable hot, even scorching to the touch.
I want to propose making ruts in opposite to that. Make the mech’s internal temperature core drop until the plating is freezing over. Make them shiver and joints lock until they’re desperate to find a warm frame in heat to hold. Shoving their popsicle spike into a forge hot valve. Fragging until the temperatures even out and they’re back to normal.
I want cold ruts and hot heats.

So guess who got all the Nezha sprout bean plushies…

Ao Guang- *Vale Tudo / Specializes in Brazilian Jujitsu mixed with MMA overall.
Ao Run- Specializes in Aikido (Using opponent’s strength against themselves), knows Krav Maga.
Ao Shun- Specializes in Silat (Known for his flexibility and his various leg sweeps and kicks).
Ao Qin- Specializes in a mix of Sumo and Judo (Heavyweight advantage).
Li Jing- Kenpo (Dynamic strikes that generate explosive forces, yet also requires high level of discipline—aspects Nezha has taken when sparring with him).

Thinking a little bit about that one "I'm an English major and a professional as opposed to you amateurs" anon. Gonna roast 'em a little bit, but with the intention of addressing a thing we've had in mind for a while.
Real talk, coming from someone who WAS an English major; majoring in English is not necessarily a guarantee that someone is a good writer. For one, you can be bad at your major, full stop. For another, it's not even a guarantee that someone identifies as a writer to begin with. English as a major is pretty broad, and it covers reading too, among other things. There's library science, analytical academia, historical preservation & interpretation (MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS HELL YES), editing, nonfiction trades (often crosses over with STEM majors), marketing (crosses over with business majors), and also book design and typography (<3 <3 <3 our favorite, crosses over with art majors).
Someone can major in English and take a specific minor with the goal of falling into a trade that is not writing literary fiction. In fact, we would argue that most people who get something useful out of their major are the ones that do that.
It's also worth noting that it's possible to be an English major focused on "lowbrow" fiction. There are people who major in English and use the experience towards the end of writing erotica. There are people who major in English with the intent to write genre fiction. There are people who major in English to study the history and social context of fanfiction.
These things are, in fact, worthy fields of study! The realm of the "amateur" is the realm where a lot of cultural conversations and innovations happen!
Expecting English as a major to be a tract specifically for producing acclaimed literary fictionists is not realistic, not how the discipline typically works, and it's certainly not a thing you can use to hold over other writers' heads. It is perfectly possible for people to write good things (professional-grade things even) without ever touching a college course.
I sat through so much bad writing in college. Technically bad, thematically bad, gramatically bad. And I routinely bump into non-graduate authors who write texts, formal and informal alike, that blow my own writing clean out of the water with their quality.
In short, dismissing other people in your general field as "amateurs" who are beneath you is an incredibly unprofessional thing to do.

video games being respected and seen as a 100% valid storytelling device in deltarune makes me really happy. “lord of the hammer” got adapted into “dragon blazers” and no one is shrugging it off as the mindless video game cash in, they’re discussing whether or not its a good adaptation, and gerson himself sees it as a perfectly good way to engage with the story.
in fact there doesnt seem to be a societal hangup over video games being dumb or mindless slop for lazy people. noelle plays dragon blazers with her dad in the hospital. berdly is a gamer bro but that’s never shown to be a sign that he’s actually stupid, in fact noelle is just as big of a gamer as him. she just thinks hes annoying about it. hell, dragon blazers and blood crushers being a way for all the lightners to bond, berdly coming around to susie because of it, the suselle hangout in noelle’s house. most of tv time is you chilling with your friends playing video games, and ralsei (the “proper” one of the group) never once comments on it. and the fact that there’s a discussion about a book to video game story being a good adaptation shows that video games are seen as a valid art form.
toby fox loves video games so much that we’re getting a glimpse into a world that actually respects them enough to see them as art and devices to bond with people over rather than lazy slop machines. and i dunno, i’ve never seen anything like it personally. i wish we had that.
#the book to video game adaptation sticks out to me especially bc as a book geek and a gamer. lots of ppl love to act like theres an inherent#barrier between the two#books are for the real intellectuals while video games are for lazy slobs#me being a book geek was encouraged but me playing video games? parents HATED that for a while before accepting it#because they thought it made me look dumb. i was focusing on stupid slop instead of intelligent books#and even in college. i submitted a story abt video game characters coming to life and debating in a wir-like world#and several ppl during reviews had to emphasize ‘’well i read books so i just couldnt understand this story but i guess its fine’’#and im like. why do you have to do that. you can do both its fine#i remember a wc person i followed online was like ‘’wow i played a pokemon game and it turns out video games ARENT stupid slop??’’#like idk if it was just my area being more conservative and judgemental but ive felt that barrier my whole life#ive had ppl examine my interests and treat the gamer part like it was a flaw. ‘’you’d get straight As if you didnt game or whatever’’#i say all that just to kinda show my experience idk if i sound like a crazy person rn. but theres definitely some elitism in that community#so. ‘’a popular book series got adapted into an rpg and fans generally love it but just hated the changes’’ is INSANE to me#like. its treated as just as valid as a book to movie or book to comic adaptation#and yeah i know video game tie ins have always been a thing but dragon blazers doesnt sound like that#it sounds like a different take on the same idea that came much later#and treated as its own thing. yknow ppl arent exactly doing that with star wars video games#am i making sense#echoed voice#like. irl noelle would have to hide being into dragonblazers and itd be seen as a huge reveal that she liked it#whoa…. rhe SMART KID likes GAMES???#dr spoilers

It is really funny (and maybe a little frustrating, but mostly silly) to see how, despite that - Oliver has a nephew - Kaz has multiple younger siblings - Chase had to take care of a (fake) baby for school and downloaded MANUALS for it
That they apparently don't know how to hold a baby

Really tired of constantly seeing posts declaring that everyone in MXTX novels is complicated and 'morally grey' and that's what makes her works wonderfully written, and that everyone else who doesn't see that is stupid, or is 'demonising' characters and bashing them for rightfully criticising their shitty, very much unjustified actions.
And ironically it seems so simplistic to just declare that, because yes her stories are wonderfully written and complex, but not for that reason. You're clearly not reading her works and only spouting what you think her stories say. There are many morally grey characters in morally complex stories out there, but MDZS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
NONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS (i.e protagonists and their male leads except for LBH maybe) ARE MORALLY GREY OR MORALLY COMPLEX.
THEY ARE ALL MORALLY RIGHTEOUS.
Just take a closer look at their actions compared to the actions of literally everyone else around them, it's not that hard to see.
Not to mention that MXTX herself literally says that WWX and LWJ are both morally ideal and that ahe hopes her readers can be like them, but people seem to have no respect for the word of authors in the name of their self projection onto the characters being contradicted nowadays 😒
(also saw someone dismissively say that HC may think that the world revolves around XL or whatever, but others don't and they're right??
First of all, did you even read the novel? HC made his judgement based on how others treated him versus how XL did when he was a CHILD. And how XL continues to treat others to this day. He is well within his rights to think the world of XL, especially since XL suffered more than every other person and still doesn't succumb to evil, despite having every right to do so, miles more than others. He all but regards XL as his moral compass, because he's proof that truly good people do exist in this world, and not ONE other person in the novel is shown to be as good as him.)
One of the reasons why I really don't like the Xianle Trio is this; neither FX nor MQ seem to regard XL as his own person with his own agency, who is capable of making his own decisions initially as HC does, and only near the end of the novel do they let up a bit when their asses had to be saved by XL multiple times. (especially considering what fools they made of themselves in that spiderweb cave lmao)
Both of them try to enforce XL ALL THE TIME ("Your Highness don't do this or don't do that or don't say this or don't go there or don't talk to him"), as if XL has not survived perfectly well on his own without them FOR 800 YEARS.
The difference between them and HC is clearly spelled out when FC asks HC about why he is not stopping XL, and HC replies that while he may not agree with some of XL's decisions, he would never force him to do what he thinks is correct, something both MQ and FX are CONSTANTLY shown to try to do.
Like please. Xianle Trio who? More like suffering XL and his pair of nuisances who think themselves to be his babysitters. And most of the time he's the one babysitting them.
Another thing that irks me is that their frequent arguments are often played off for laughs, but XL is truly a saint, because if my friends were constantly bickering over petty things all throughout our dangerous journey and giving me nothing but headaches, especially in survival situations, I'd given them the boot a long time ago.

I gotta be honest, I know Skylar was born to be a Superhero™️ and everything so she's very much into the mature and Responsible actions most of the time bc she was literally raised from birth like that.....
But she's also from a planet where powers are just A Normal Thing You're Born With (and mostly hung around other superheroes when she left, most who also had powers), so I'm sorry I just don't buy her thinking they are a "special gift you shouldn't use outside of saving people".
If they're a normalized thing in your society then it's perfectly normal to also just?? use a power that makes something easier?
Like some heroes "powers" are just "they are aliens with different anatomy that gives them advantages over humans", that's not really a "power", it's just who they are. Can't expect them to not use that anatomy outside of heroing.
And I feel like if on your planet, your people have an inate ability to harness energy, or manipulate matter, that just comes from existing on that planet or growing up in your society.... it's the same thing.
So from her perspective I don't get why she would take that stance of "they're a gift, don't use them like that".
