#Essy Ramblings

I love bright villains, tbh I think they're underrated. I love villains who adore the attention and can't stand staying in the shadows, I love villains that are sun coded, I love villains who wear bright colors, I love villains who try and look sweet and friendly.

And I especially love villains associated with the light having rivalries or even friendships with villains associated with the dark, that's the shit.

This is obviously gonna be divisive, so please, fight for the rights of pillow princesses

essieeeeeeee ahem im doing research for the summer lovin' challenge, how do we feel about age gaps? like slight age gaps, or does that sort of stray out of equal partnership?

Oh brandy, you know how I love research. Happy to be your primary source!

We…like age gaps that are done tastefully. By this, I mean, like…ones where the two of them were in the same age category when they met? Like, they were both either kids or both either consenting adults when they met. At the time of first interaction, one like one wasn’t a minor and the other was an adult when they met. Does that make sense?

Slight age gaps are a-ok! (And if you ask my mom, allowable up to 10 years because ‘men are behind women maturity-wise and need those years to catch up’ which I actually agree to, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that society lets men be immature that much in comparison🙄) all this to say yes. 😂 equal partnerships can happen at any age, and imo, it makes the equal treatment so much sweeter when there’s a gap and the older one doesn’t use it as a chance for infantalizing the other😌

sooo for the ask game, how would venti feel about your oc?

venti!!

ummmmm in my genshin ocverse 6REEZE (friend group of venti + xiao + wanderer + heizou + kazuha + aether, the male traveler - characters who for the most part do not know each other canonically) is canon because i am cringe and i am free? anyways wanderer and yasmin are pretty close and she and venti have met each other fairly often because of that. he thinks she's fun and enjoys hanging out with her, partly because they match chaotic energy and partly because he likes keeping an eye on her when she's in mondstadt in case she ends up accidentally commiting a crime LOL

Ever since someone said ADHD folks live their lives in 30 minute intervals otherwise their already strenuous task management ability go kapoot: know I have been working to break that stereotype by living in 20 minutes intervals instead. I have to be at work at 5, it takes me about 10 min to walk from the shop where I hang out during breaks back to my job. So naturally, I’ll leave at 4:40. The old me woulda left at 4:30. Progress.

Tummy kisses or tummy raspberries? 🤭

Hiii ty ty

I’ve never really had kisses and don’t properly remember how it felt the one time I had a raspberry tbh but I’ll go with raspberries

whether dandelion was originally intentionally queer coded or not could be debated, but i honestly can with confidence say that he definitely is regardless of intention ESPECIALLY when you look at how he’s written through a modern lense, and i feel like it is really weird how in twn they’re “trying” to not lean into the queer coding and denying it despite adding things not in the books to make it even easier to interpret jaskier as queer……

maybe it’s because they don’t want to make geraskier canon but like….. you can still make jaskier canonically queer without a gay ship being canon there’s more to being queer than romance

i have mixed feelings about geralt and dandelion/jaskiers relationship and dynamic as a whole in twn especially the contrast between the book version and the netflix version. i dont have a strong opinion on the changes in geralts character, but it feels a bit lazy when there is obvious room for character development especially in his opinion about destiny and his relationship with jaskier. also the “apology” jaskier got from geralt was really half-assed and jaskier deserves better i do hope things are made better in season 3

i’m willing to give the writers the benefit of the doubt for now, considering we have two more seasons confirmed, but the way it’s gone so far is really questionable and i want better

Some of these ships are canon, while others are rumors, but all the characters (except Jessamyn and Alysanne) are in the LGBT+ section on the wiki

i can’t believe ppl actually get crazy over fictional stuff 😭 like honestly as someone who prefers reading yandere/dark content i don’t tell ANYONE cuz i already know they would try and start shit 😭 i’m wondering if anyone has attacked you for tsunami specifically?

not for tsunami (I don't wanna put "yet" but its bound to happen), but for my old harry potter/percy jackson series that I made before

Basically, the main couple's problematic as hell. The ML is essentially a yandere and the FL has rose-tinted glasses and is desperate for love and acceptance due to trauma so she let's his unhinged behavior go.

They finally got together in the end of Book 4 and I made a list of warnings about the dark content that's gonna happen in the future. At the start of book 5, I reminded them of the warnings again in the introductory, but once the dark stuff started to show up, I got some readers being shocked, pissed, and disturbed by it. Even all the way into book 6, they were still there whining about the same thing

It was absolutely annoying because when I called them out on it, some of them said they didn't "see" the warnings which is amazing because I literally put those warnings at the intro of every book and I talked about how toxic they were gonna be in the author notes?? the same a/n where I put my memes in and they COMMENT on them??

And then the other half, I knew were just idiots because I saw them comment on the list of warnings in wattpad every fucking time. Their comments didn't even seem bothered?? Some of them were like "oh wow" or "shit's gonna go down" and then fast-forward, they're suddenly acting aghast about the very things they knew were gonna happen 💀

If they chose to deliberately ignore my many warnings then that's not my fault, that's on them. But they kept bitching at me about it anyway even several books later.

That's akin to telling someone "hey don't drink this bottle, there's dangerous chemicals in it" and that person drinks it anyway and has the audacity to be mad at YOU for it???

Anyways, so far I got no complaints about Tsunami but... it's probably gonna happen eventually. My other fics aren't as dark as this one so I'm bound to get some haters on my ass despite me warning them in the introduction AND at the beginning of every chapter that features said dark content 😩

I'll be fine though 💖 Most of those haters came from wattpad and well... it's wattpad so yeah. I cross-post on quotev and ao3 too. I rarely get complaints in quotev, and while i'm still new-ish to ao3, people there seem very mature and ok with dark stuff

ramble about coco

warnings: probably has errors, murder, death, greedy celebrities (/hj)

Ernesto didn’t have to kill hector to have his music. He literally could’ve put him on his payroll and credit him as his songwriter. Most artists have song writers so it wouldn’t be looked down apon. It would’ve been a win win for everyone. Ernesto would get to do his dream with amazing songs, and Hector could be with his family. Hector could write from anywhere and just mail the songs to him.

But nooo Ernesto had to greedy and selfish and kill him?? Did he just want the money for himself? Like that’s not so smart, now he’ll never have good *new* songs to play! and he has limited options because he decided to be an idiot.

Not only that, but he has the audacity to say he has no “resentment or hatred towards Hector” for wanting to go home. Um.. then why did you murder him?? And then kinda mock his death on a show? And what’s also a twist of the knife is that he stole the song Hector wrote for his daughter. Y’know after murdering him for wanting to go back to the person that the song is written for. What hurts more is that song became his most popular song.

Plus did he just not expect the truth to ever come out? If the afterlife is forever he would’ve had to expect it to come out *eventually*. Also, the whole manipulating Miguel thing was just.. not necessary. Don’t get the point of that besides wanting to show how evil he is. Don’t get me started on Miguel’s family after Hector’s generation, like I understand being heartbroken and feeling abandoned. But how can you expect to have a no-music family in Mexico?
