#I know it's quite popular in the fandom

The condemned willingly serve the gods out of their own sense of guilt, but have they considered that the gods may be unable to bring them the consolation they long for…?

𝐂𝐗𝐗𝐕. Sligthly related to the previous post, but even if it's all jokes and laughs, I like the idea that one of the reasons why Dain says this referring to Furina isn't simply to throw shade at her, but because he might be aware that even gods need consolation. So in some way it boils down to "if not even gods can't help themselves, how can they humans?".

I've actually been having a better time for my mental health since I stopped engaging with the world of darkness scene on here. Its not like I don't have good friends out of it, but the weird fandom behaviour and exclusionism, the constant fear of saying something wrong and getting vagued about-- or my friends getting the flak for no reason!-- just wasn't okay. Easy to forget people on the other side of a screen are in fact people.

Of course there's more to it than simply having a bad time in the fandom, but I have joined the ranks of people put off by fandom behaviour. Time to scuttle into my corner and make more original works for my own amusement. May even post them eventually.

Me: I don't know if my ideas are worth sharing, I'm losing engagement from my readerbase these past few months so I must be doing something wrong, I don't think I've really accomplished anything as a writer.

i for real think bnha should be academically studied honestly

[jegulushq]

thinking about Barty and Pandora and it's definitely more interesting to me when in the fanfictions they are portrayed as being in Ravenclaw, obviously they are still in the friend group with Reg etc...maybe they got to know each other through Evan when he's Dora's twin, it's just cooler to have almost all the houses mixed and not only Slytherin and Gryffindor when they start dating lmao I need to find more fics like this

i feel kind of sad sometimes that i completely missed the boat on being able to follow BT on tour and socialize with the fan community in Japan bc I was in college and then the pandemic hit. would have been nice if i were 10 years older

what do you think of 'grasp' so far

like that Pridebaru fic where he gets kidnapped by Reinhard

ooh this is an interesting question… anon im curious as to why you asked me HAH but i suppose im flattered!!! very grateful to have the chance to speak my Opinions… (warning this is gonna be kinda long i have a lot to say 😅 i put it under the read more!!)

i really like grasp!! pride if reinsuba seems to be pretty popular in this fandom (which im guessing is because reinhard and pridebaru are both like. powerful in their own ways. and they have the most feral relationship out of any version of reinsuba) and tbh i eat up any pride if reinsuba content every time. i enjoy their dynamic and i like seeing the different takes people have on it!! grasp is particularly fun for me in that iirc there isnt really much fics specifically about reinhard capturing pride, plus reinhard’s characterization here is super interesting. grasp emphasizes how much reinhard genuinely cares about subaru and also emphasizes reinhard’s softness—even as hes. you know, kidnapping pride, imprisoning him, gaslighting, etc etc. and grasp’s reinhard is Specifically most likely from the main route, judging from the events he describes. i love seeing darker versions of reinhard in general, and i suppose it’s unique to see a reinhard from the main route act like this. though i will say that reinhard in like ch6 does say he doesnt “give a fuck” iirc which. im sorry i cant imagine reinhard saying that 😭😭 but i do like the addition of him going fuck you to the literal council though!!

on the other hand, though, i feel like grasp’s pridebaru characterization isnt sharp enough for my personal taste. like i know grasp’s pridebaru is still like not that far into pride if—like he was whisked away right before he killed petelgeuse. but at this point i still feel that like. hes jaded and accustomed to violence and i feel like he would be A Lot More Pissed Off in this situation (being imprisoned by reinhard of all people). like the way i see pridebaru, he very much Is Pride, you know? hes stubborn as hell and he wants to be in control and Powerful at all times and he LOATHES reinhard specifically for his power and heroism. i just feel like that even while pride is afraid of reinhard here for knowing personal shit about him + insisting that main route events happened (ie subaru being close with emilia, saving the day, etc etc), i still feel like prides gonna like double down and do Everything he can to make this difficult in any way for reinhard. like i feel like to pride, hearing reinhard talk about this other version of events is like. prides like hearing about basically some other version of himself, which probably sounds like hearing about a literal stranger to him bc Why would he even be friends with reinhard. itd sound totally alien to pride. but this is like, all my personal opinion and i mean no disrespect!! that and 95% of my personal taste in fiction is like composed of the most unhinged things, meaning that my general (kind of biased) consensus with most ifbarus is that you might as well write them to be as insane as possible T^T so take my opinion with a grain of salt maybe, i suppose!

but anyway that aside thats just a very long explanation of basically saying while grasp’s pridebaru take isnt a personal favorite of mine, i do really really enjoy the fic and seeing reinsuba shenanigans happen in it!! and ill definitely be tuning in for each update whenever i get the chance :o

every time a complex and nuanced story that happens to contain a romantic subplot that contributes to the overall themes and ultimate narrative gets boiled down to nothing but a shadow of the single, actual romantic dynamic to be copy pasted into a series of tropes an angel dies.

listen, i’m probably going to make a separate account because i know a fair amount of people don’t like anything surrounding the marauders/hp universe, but i just wanted to tell you all that i’m in the marauders fandom and it’s something i along with many others enjoy. if that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to unfollow me, but don’t harass me for something like this. i’m honestly tired of all the discourse and i’d just like to engage in content on my own time. like i said, if you’re uncomfortable and feel like you can no longer morally support my blog, go ahead and unfollow. i won’t be mad and i understand it’s not anything personal. in fact i’d be happy that people are setting boundaries on here instead of engaging in unnecessary drama, and i don’t really want to be moots with anyone that would condemn me for my involvement in the fandom.

if i had a nickel for every time a band that was crucial to my development as a young queer person had a song titled “ma cherie” i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

.... Do y'all think that people would want to interact with my Marvel muses more readily if I put them on their own blog?
