#I REALLY DON'T CARE

[agunzagun]

It's not an "embarrassing" thing to think that a piece of media could save a life. Hell, Persona 3 Portable was my first JRPG and I played that in 2016, when I was at my worst. My father died and I was in a major depression before that. Persona 3 helped me a lot, especially the game's main themes being focused on death and loss, how it affects everyone in different ways, realizing those facts and living through or with it. This game stopped me thinking about a lot of things, a lot of bad things. Same with lots of music I consumed at that point of my life.

If you're just playing Persona games as "dating sims" or thinking that video games or any other medium affecting people in such a huge way is cringe or embarrassing, it means either you're living a good life, which is great! Or you're way too up in your ass and jaded, which... well, sucks.

25 Days of Agere Moodboards! Day 20: My Gender!!

I'll watch it any goddamned time I please! Which is probably never.

Hehe

Heheheh

Uhm,,yeahhh

She communicates through songs, not just the lyrics though. The lyrics sometimes help but they don't always convey exactly how she feels. S slow song to show she's tired, an upbeat one to show she's in a good mood. Etc.

She uses instrument sounds to, well to make sounds. A sigh, a yawn, a yell, etc. All made by a random instrument. You hear a loud blaring trombone sound? She's got something to say!!

You ask, Kori? Why the fuck is there a whole rest? When she's really upset she just goes quiet. She won't make a single sound until she feels better. Not even a squeak of a clarinet.

I feel like this was the best way to convey myself. I mostly just sing songs all day anyways. And while I only know the notes to a flute I know how to play other instruments. Ik it's stupid but like I said, the best way to convey myself.

I haven't read ToA yet, BUT, I have a headcanon of Leo and Calypso that I would like to share 😃

So, imagine that the two of them live together and are happy.

I think Leo would be a grumpy sleeper the times he sleeps what he NEEDS to sleep (cause he never sleep well) and that he is so dumb when he has a good night of sleep. Like, it takes at least an hour for his mind to work properly again. And Calypso always wakes up early so she can take care of her plants and watch the sunrise.

And on the days when Leo falls into a deep sleep, she goes to wake him up for breakfast (usually it's Leo who likes to make silly and pretty breakfasts for her when she wakes up).

So there's is, Calypso trying to wake him up, and the grumpy mess of Leo muttering things while he's asleep about how he doesn't want to wake up yet.

But when he opens his eyes.

Oh.

Well, hi.

He sees the most beautiful girl in the world.

And all the grumpiness goes away.

Leo stares at her, still all sleepy, while Calypso waits for her boy to finally react and they go to breakfast.

The first thing Leo says, in an almost slurred manner and as if he were not thinking straight, is

"Oh my god, you're so pretty"

And Calypso can't do anything but smile. BECAUSE WHAT ELSE CAN SHE DO??

I'm dying thinking about Leo like this okay? okay.

Then she gives him a small kiss on the forehead and Leo giggles, because there is a very pretty girl giving him a kiss and smiling at him.

and there were more but I forgot and I loved these two very much, they are like my favorite characters, I really love them

i dont why people have so much faith in harry?

like he does dynamic pricing and vip and all the dirty tricks. its a choice.

pleasing's first pr started with kardashians..

like it is all just about money.

but idk why is it not even allowed to acknowledge it.. pretty privileges??? riding on caottails of goodness of others, whom he activaly ignores, and even sabotages?? like what is it?

I think people have been acknowledging it for a while now. It's just that the sentiment wasn't popular. People have been calling him out, but it's Harry! He is so uwu, tpwk, weird and lovable! He's not a human being with flaws who has made questionable choices with regards to his career! His good looks certainly help!

The things that he has gotten away with, if that was someone else they would be done. This movie feels like a movie- can you imagine if Liam had said something like this? Also the movies he has acted in- you have to wonder if those opportunities would have come his way if he wasn't HS. Because I don't know what that kind of nepotism is called but, fucking hell that was painful to look at. Yes people did make jokes about it, but see how they aren't mean spirited? The consensus is always like it's Harry, what more can you expect? But if it were any of the other boys, do you think people would be so forgiving?

When Liam or any of the boys have mentioned him, put up posts for him ( that's only Liam though), he has never acknowledged their support publicly. He knows his fans are rabid, so rabid in fact, that he has himself stopped using his social media. And probably one word, one like (heard he was on there enough to leave them under the pictures of models and actresses) even could have made these vile people... Hesitate at the least? But no.

I don't know. I have been a fan of One Direction for thirteen years now. And if you scroll far back on my blog, you'll know how OT5 I was... But things sre just not the same. It's just depressing to address this blatant difference in the way they have been treated. One of them has died, someone who was bullied relentlessly for being himself, being 'dumb' and 'cringe'. Does it really matter if we keep rehashing these topics? Nothing will change.

I read your work on Wattpad and I totally love you, but what I don’t like is the way you focus on read to vote ratios. You are literally the only author I know (and I follow hundreds of authors, some that could rival you) and you are the only one that cares about read to vote ratios.

I think it’s something you shouldn’t worry about because the read count isn’t even accurate because it also includes when the author reads the chapter themselves even while editing.

I know votes are important to authors, but to most readers (because I’ve asked some friends I’ve made on Wattpad) we don’t even look at how many votes a book has to make us want to read the story. We look at the description and how many views it’s gotten, not the votes, because we know votes aren’t a good representation of how good a book is because people can forget to vote or just don’t give out votes no matter how good the story is.

Your books have millions of views (regardless if some are proper views or not) and your books are always out there and they get discovered, and I think you’re a bit greedy with asking for votes- especially when you do those god awful vote goals in order to get a chapter out.

I’ve seen other authors do vote goals, and it makes me want to do the total opposite and not vote because you should be writing and releasing chapters for the fun of it because you like writing and want to update, not for the votes.

I love you and your writing, but I’d say the whole voting ratio thing is a flawed concern and does leave a few readers bitter with you. I know you probably don’t care, but I just had to say it as I saw your insta where you mentioned the vote ratio and it irked me coz like I said, you’re the only author that cares about it when you shouldn’t worry about it considering your thousands of followers and your millions of views

okay, a lot to discuss with this one!

so, firstly thank you for sharing your thoughts - discussion is always welcome, even if we have different views on the subject! and thank you for the kind words about my work, too!!

i will just say that pretty much all the fic writers i know on a personal level do, to some extent, care about the engagement on their stories. whether it be wattpad, tumblr or ao3, engagement is hugely appreciated for a number of reasons.

i know of a good handful of writers, large and small, who use vote goals - even if they don't outwardly state it, they care about the ratio. they wouldn't do the goal if not. that's what it's for.

i think it's also important to note that i don't do vote goals anymore and haven't done for quite some time. i tried them for a while, didn't like them, no longer do them - because i agree that they felt insincere and icky.

i don't hold my chapters to ransom - i think there's one instance in my 11 (!!) years on wattpad, and 5 years of writing for the tannies that I've delayed an update because a vote goal hadn't been met.

but like you say, views aren't an accurate way of measuring engagement. votes are.

to me, a vote is a considered effort that readers will make to say 'yeah, i liked this', without needing to comment or interact on a big level. asking for people who read hours worth of your hard work for free to simply press a little star at the end of a chapter isn't a greedy ask, in my opinion.

so why do i care about the ratio?

because when i used to look for stories as a reader, it was something i glanced at to see if the views aligned with the quality. a good ratio indicates good writing. it's as simple as that.

on a personal level - i don't actually care. it's not like i sit up at night thinking about it, or obsessively check my stats. i post chapters, read the comments, and that's about it. the vote ratio can be seen at a glance, and even though I'm bad at maths, it's an easy thing to compute lol.

this is the back end of bad decisions. none of the numbers make any sense, really. i'd go mad if i tried to figure it all out. so please don't think I'm sitting here obsessing over the numbers, because I'm not. i wouldn't be able to write if i was.

what i do care about is what you guys think of me. of course i care. i like to think i have a pretty good relationship with my readers, and so it does suck to know that something like this, which you agree is trivial, is enough to make you bitter with me.

i consider myself very lucky when it comes to my readers, but I've also worked damn hard to cultivate my readership. those millions of reads didn't come about just by chance.

it's kind of insulting when you see how much work i put in and know how much i love writing these stories to then be told that i only care about votes. bd alone is the length of 4 standard-sized novels, published for free, written on my own time. you don't do that if you don't write for enjoyment.

so if you think I'm being greedy - when we both know in the grand scheme of things votes mean nothing and will earn me nothing more than a metaphorical pat on the back - then fine, but it's not like you aren't getting fed, either.

vote, or don't vote. it's all just pixels on a screen, at the end of the day.

but please don't insinuate i don't care about my stories.

[sekaicards]

previous anon doesn't have the right to say that until they run their own tournament blog. you have a life outside tumblr and we're just happy you're back. ignore them.

i genuinely wonder about anons like that sometimes. they do know that they can just unfollow right. no one is making you stick around. there is no being held at gunpoint to follow a blog.

South Park Post Covid AU fic where Kenny had become tired of his friends being chronic iPad kids or something idk

"well maybe if you assholes weren't on your iPads all the god damn time, none of this would have happened!"

"so, Dr. McCormick! what do you plan on doing once you find a way to time travel to the past?"

"I'm gonna smash my friends' ipads"

*Kenny manages to time travel*

*Kenny to his friends as kids*

"give me those fucking iPads"

"oh noooo! not my ipad!"

*adult Kenny takes kid Cartman's iPad*

"aye! give it back!!"

*adult Stan and Kyle arrive*

"Kenny, you don't have to do this!"

"we promise we'll limit our time on the iPads! really!"

"how am I supposed to trust you guys? you three were constantly on your iPads! During my birthday parties, during our graduation ceremony! my uncle's funeral, Craig and Tweek's wedding,during Jimmy's biggest stand up comedy night of the year, EVERYTHING! every time I looked over *starts tearing up, voice cracking* you three were on those god damn iPads!"

"Kenny, please! we're sorry!"

"no! it's too late for that now! I'm gonna smash these iPads, and then I'm gonna go further back in time and kill Steve Jobs before he even thinks of coming up with this dreaded iPad!"

"But, Kenny! you need to think this through! if Steve Jobs didn't invent the iPad, then someone else would have!"

"god damn it, Kyle!"

"Listen, Kenny, just give Cartman back his iPad and we can-"

*kid Kenny dies from a tactical satellite attack*

"yo what the fuck??"

someday there will be destroy boys vs GRLwood discourse nearly identical to current fall out boy vs mcr discourse. mark my words.

I saw a post the other day about how "a band doesn't have to make 50 minute rock operas in order to make good music" and in the wake of funeral soundtrack #4 and blood I just know there's going to be that kind of discourse about destroy boys and grlwood. I just know it.

Even if Remus met Tonks as a baby (which based on canon is extremely unlikely) I don't care because it's fiction and more importantly they were the blue print.
