#I hate people who spoil things

[flintstill]

So fuck that person who spoiled DTs character’s story in Thursday Murder Club.

Not all of us have read the books and I was actually happy about that so that everything on the show would be a surprise.

Not anymore thanks to you jackass

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that

Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to

Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!

been able to keep both my fear and hype about totk in check by watching nothing but elden ring videos for weeks but now i read something on accident and my anxiety is going through the roof again

[im2tired4usernames]

Ugh I was excited for today until I found out I'd have to spend it with people that actively make me hate being alive hate the future and drain me off all energy physically mentally spiritually like a vampire I can't stand to be around her she is the definition of stupidity and even then that's generous as fuck this bitch has filled her brain with so much garbage I watch her brain cells die at alarming rates every single time she uses her vocal cords her giggles make me want to jam a sewing needle into my ear repeatedly so I can never have to hear it again its a friendly reminder that my parents decisions this time my dad's constantly makes me want to die

"Maybe I drink too much for a singer. Maybe I smoke too much for a singer. But it can be quite demanding, this life. So, for me to have those little vices, it's important." - Louis for The Telegraph

He even acknowledges himself that he smokes and drinks A LOT. but he sees it as his little pleasures in life. He says he needs it because he finds the life he lives demanding. He also once said that he needs a drink before the show to calm his nerves. So that sounds very much like he uses alcohol and cigarettes as a coping mechanism. That is NOT healthy. Wherever the memory loss comes from, he still has a problem with drugs and alcohol. He admits it in almost every interview! He just doesn’t see that it is a problem. Just like you :) instead of making fun of people who are concerned about Louis, you should at least acknowledge the fact that these concerns are very reasonable to have at this point. You don’t have to agree but making fun of it makes you look like a fool who is deeply in denial about reality.

People that make it a joke to be like: "Omggg the introductions to classic books are soooo annoying, why would they put so much of this useless shit here?" after they only started reading classics to be a part of the pretentious booktok fucks who read classics just to say they read them... Hi, pretentious fuck who always reads the introduction... It is literalllyyy a free literary analysis you dipshits. If you're reading some abstract shit, well it was written that way and people have been trying to read and interpret it since it was published. There is 200% popular explanations or theories of the plot there, if not straight up quotes from an authors diary/notes on their process and intentions for writing their novel (if those were left behind by the author). Fun facts, relevant historical context, translation deep-dives (which are fucking great btw, translation is an art and even the best translations will always lose something) and more. Honestly, people bragging about not reading it is like. ok fine whatever. To call it useless is just indicative that you are a VITCIM of the media comprehension crisis. If you're just going to parrot some rando from tiktok who summarized the plot (badly) in fortnite terms (do not recommend) read the fkn intro instead. If you're not going to try analyze the book yourself, or if you don't know where to start- read the intro!!!111!!! I am old enough (21. sarcasm.) to remember the time when the media lit crisis was in full swing before Lolita blew up on tiktok where people were making the most bare bones, surface level interpretations of it, calling the author and people who liked the book pedophilic. Saying they didn't know why it was a classic because it was just some old man's sick fantasy. I'm pretty sure there are old arguments on this blog of me trying to explain it to people. Nabokov was very open about the true meaning of his novel, there were many resources for people on and offline, plus the book that I had (not special, from library and then one from B&N) had an intro AND author's note. Yet people only got it when it was oversimplified for them on tiktok? Introductions are literally some nerd who was so obsessed with the author/book that you're reading that they who wrote something (barely anything usually, not a fucking lot) to help you understand the book better. Obviously, its meant to be supplementary and you can and should find your own meaning. Plus, usually for compiled works, the introduction are the guy(s) who made the fucking book, but ofc they are only credited in the intro (& copyright page) because they didn't write it. Surprise, people actually have to pick what works go into those types of books. Intros are usually just: "wow, I love this author so much that I did research on their entire life, read every single word they left on this earth, read 50 decades of analysis of their works and researched the era they lived in to understand why and what they wrote the wrote better, " and you mfs that don't even read it call it useless. fuck you. Oh and before anyone with -80 IQ reads this and gets upset, if you want to avoid spoilers for the 103935405739 year old book, read it after you finish the book...

[volivolition]

what's the theme you're fucking going for here voliiii!!! what are you fucking getting at!!! what are you trying to say, what's the point??

[crescentfool]

nightmare, secret, hate

nightmare: What does your OC have nightmares about? How do they deal with their nightmares? Do they tell people, or keep it to themself?

Saint jolted awake, heart hammering so hard that they had to press their hand against their chest to make sure it wasn't trying to escape from it. Sweat beaded their face. Every familiar thing around them now seemed a twisted and nightmarish version of itself, as if they had been transported into a place that was Not Quite Home -- enough to be malevolent. Sinister. The light fell wrong; their memories worked overtime to convince them that there was something ominous about things they had affectionately brought into their home. The screen on the wall read: IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. Saint gathered the covers into a ball and pressed their face into them, nodding miserably. When they allowed themself to lift their eyes enough to see over the covers, the screen read -- through a blur of tears -- ...IT WAS ABOUT LOSING ME. They said, so softly that the only thing that would be able to hear them was the house: "It's always about losing you."

oc asks: not-so-nice edition.

🤔 For Fiora, 💝 For Marian, and 🤡 for Hildegarde

Fiora Cousland: 🤔 - What’s something they’ll never understand?

I think there's a lot Fiora doesn't understand. She grew up a very privileged, if not outright sheltered, noble, so being forced out into the world had a lot of wakeup calls for her.

That being said, even as she grows and learns to appreciate other people's hardships and motivations... she'll never understand why people still defend Loghain. The man committed awful (and frankly, in her mind, stupid) acts, no matter how he tried to justify them. That there are people who still think of him as a hero absolutely baffles her.

Of course, Fiora had it easy. Her path to heroism didn't have nearly as many "hard" choices. At least, that people know about.

Marian Hawke: 💝 - What gestures do they really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?

At her core, Marian just wants to be taken care of. She's spent her whole life worrying about others, so it stands to reason that she'd want to lay that burden down for just, like, an hour or two and let someone else attend to her for once.

So she loves gifts - any kind, big or small, expensive or not... Though clothes and jewelry are her favorite. She also likes having meals cooked for her. And massages.

Basically, just spoil her.

Hildegarde Trevelyan: 🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about?

Other than every waking moment of her life? Uhhh

Probably the most insignificant thing would be her hair? Before the Conclave, it was a chestnut brown, which she thought was plain but it helped her to not stand out.

After the explosion and she was sent through the Fade, the shock turned her hair a silvery-white, and now people can just look across a room and see her (as if the bright green glowing mark on her hand wasn't bad enough). Hildegarde is not a woman who is used to being seen.

People don't say anything about it - why would they, most of the Inquisition has only ever known her with the white hair - but that just makes it worse. She can almost hear her old fellows at the Ostwick Circle whispering behind her back; "she looks like an old maid!" or "good, we can say we lost her in the snow!".

(It gets better, later. It helps that Vivienne and Dorian call it unique, say it suits her. Bull says it's badass. Cole says it matches her "purity of soul", or something. Cullen calls her snowdrop because of it, and that helps the most.)
