#I'm debating rewriting it or not

[bronzepatriarchy]

Nothing like rereading an old fic you used to work on and thinking 'I can fix every plothole in this thing if I just spent an extra 5 minutes thinking about it"

My Word: Marvel

I decided to use chapter 16 of LoF for this because I've been working on it today teehee

M- "Maybe because it was because Peter was introducing Loki and Dick for the first time, and he remembered what the Bats thought about the God."

A- "Also, it would make Thor sad, so I’d ask that you not kill Loki. Because you totally could, I believe you.”

R- Resurrection?

V (I don't have a V sentence 😔💔)

E- "Everyone needs backup at some point, fighting alone doesn’t help anyone. But especially someone Peter’s age. He’s done a great job at taking care of himself and this situation, but that doesn’t mean he has to. We’re more than happy to take some of the burden. And this is how we operate. If you don’t like it, or if your Avengers don’t like it, then they can take it up with me.”

L- Loki got a kick out of that part of the story. At one point, he created an illusion of little action-figure sized Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Spider-Man on the dashboard, and had them re-enact the scene as best as Peter could tell it. “For the visuals.” Loki had smirked. And he had asked Dick, “What do you think? They look just like the real thing, no?” To which Dick had replied “Why did you make my head so big?” and Loki had sworn that his head just looks that big normally and he ‘Didn’t do anything to the illusion, really, Grayson, do you think so little of me?’ Which made Dick’s eye twitch.

When I used to be in uni, my psychology professor talked about identification, love and hate-

And I wonder, what does it mean to always be in the wrong team-

I always like the wrong and evil character, the anti-hero, always, like a plague, I don't care about the protagonist, they tend to be too much, naive, glorified, blind, coward - but not it's bad counterpart, no, this sad bad meow meow person is 10x better and complex, the good and bad, as every person is.

When we like them, it only means that we see and recognize the injustice they suffer, and more than that, we also know and accept their flaws, we accept and recognize their growth and loss of innocence.

I mean, Alicent? Little girl being hated because she is what women in her time are suppose to be? Obedient to her father's wishes, submissive, passive... but no, vilified as the friend who wanted (I'm cackling who would want to marry him, she wouldn't want to marry no dragon in fact, she clearly is terrified of them) to marry an old and sick man, the father of her best friend, forced to birth child after child as was expected of her because of course she wants to strip her once best friend from her title of heir, yes, it is written on her face. This girl wasn't having a day of peace ever - two children when she was seventeen*, four when she wasn't even near her thirties. A girl, sold, raped, judged and denied justice.

But her good counterpart? Oh, how glorious and modern of her to lie, throw tantrums and rage around, hide behind her weak father's judgements and run away from facing her problems and faults.

Don't even get me started on others... Like Hurrem.

A girl, enslaved, probably saw her family and people die before her eyes, sold from one palace to another, denied to practice her religious beliefs, denied her own language, letters, freedom. Condemn to serve.

But you see, look how pretty she became. Let's gift her to the sultan

Who knows the things they threatened her with, she was, before being a concubine, a slave, property of the sultan, not a woman, a thing.

The inferno she had to endure before having a son, before getting her freedom and a legal marriage.

But yes, she is evil, she wants to kill a child, the child of the woman she hates, a child that won't hesitate to kill her sons.

Because it is the fraticide law. Even her own children would kill each other the moment their father died.

Even to this day, Hurrem isn't remembered as a girl - who suffered and raise up to have the best life she could fight for - she is remembered as the evil mother, playing her children to be against their brother, the wolf among sheep.

Both of them, done dirty by the narrative. Two women called monsters, when they are but two humans, two women who suffered and had to reinvent themselves in order to survive and continue. I doubt it was completely for their own selves, but for those who depended on them.

I could go on and on about so many others, but I'll just talk about this two blorbos.

For the three sentence prompt, could you do one about Overblot Malleus being protective/gentle towards Lilia, Silver, and Sebek? Could be in the dream world or reality. You can choose!

[✐meme] three sentence fic meme [✐] ficlet frenzy

Within a realm of darkness lies a castle made of pure blot — dark as night, dark as the abyss. And nestled within the tallest tower, a winding spire of endless staircases designed to tire out those without other means to get to the top, is a quaint little bedroom of the utmost comfort.

A humming melody fills the air as blot-slickened hands grasp the edges of a soft sheet carefully, pulling them up to cover the slumbering bodies nestled within a veil-covered canopy bed. Malleus smiles at the sight of his family together once more — the three of them snuggled up against each other in the middle of the massive bed, Sebek to one side, Silver to the other, the two of them sandwiching Lilia between.

What a fool he was, to believe the ideal solution to make everyone happy would be to give them all their own, individualised dreams; Silver had broken out of his own nigh instantly before going on a little rampage, tearing both Sebek and Lilia away from their perfect fantasies before Malleus finally intervened and put a stop to it. Perhaps it worked for the other students all slumbering within their own dreams — but for Malleus' little family, the correct answer would have been bringing them all together under his watchful eye, right from the start.

A swell of warmth blooms to life within his cold chest as his eyes run over the three of them. Leaning in, he brushes a clawed finger along Sebek's cheek, threads a hand through Silver's hair, and leans in to press a kiss against Lilia's cheek, smiling at the little smudge of blot that rests against pallid skin.

They will be happy here together, under his watchful eye, under his ever-present care. And should anyone find a way to intervene, determined to rip this dream to shreds?

Well, Malleus cannot be letting that happen now, can he?

Still debating whether or not I want to try for a second draft of the Hornblower time loop fic or just do some basic edits and throw it into the world as fanfic was intended to be published

In regards to the soulmate detective agency, the sequel/spinoff to the (not so) perfect pair

I haven't updated the sda for quite a while, and while I was working on it, and do have a third chapter mostly written, I've made the decision to discontinue it for now. Every time I've tried to work on it I've ended up unsatisfied with the result and end up stressing myself out over trying to ensure it lives up to the original.

Maybe with the lack of pressure I'll find it easier to write it, and maybe I'll be able to pick it up again at some point and finish/rewrite it. I genuinely hope that I can revisit the premise at some point, since I had some rather interesting plans for how I wanted it to go.

I'm really sorry that I'm not continuing it (again, for now. I may pick it up again eventually) but it really isn't worth how much it's upsetting me and stressing me out to try and continue it. I hope it was fun while it lasted, and that if I ever do finish it, it'll be received well :3

With the Bocchi Recap movie coming to the US in 2 weeks I thought it'd be fun to put together an outfit for it... maybe a simple cosplay.

There's 2 Bocchi characters I've been thinking of doing cosplays for in the future specifically, but I'm waaaaaay too self conscious to be going around in a dress quite yet so Kikuri is off the table for now so I guess I'm going with Bocchi's pink tracksuit and skirt.

(Time to info dump about costume search suffering woooooo)

This week after work I've been staying out to go shopping, seeing if I can possibly get some things locally. I was able to find the prefect shoes almost instantly so I have the price of those stored on the back of my head for later.

I havn't seen any places that have tracksuits let alone pink ones with a stripe down the sleeve. Part of me expected this so I did do some looking online and was able to find that Adidas has some tracksuits that look close enough, 3 sticking out in particular.

What's been a real issue tho, but not for the reason I'd expected, is the skirt. Of the 5 places I've gone browsing threw 3 of them didn't have any skirts for some reason? The 2 that did only had incredibly short denim ones.

2 of them have the tall collar but the colors are either so vibrant that it's basically magenta or so light that it's hard to tell that it's pink (which I just realized doesn't even have a matching set of pants like the others?)

The last one has the closest shade but it's collar is so short, I just don't like it (I want to be able to hide my face in that big dumb jacket collar)

The positive is they're all in my size, I just need to pick which one to go with.

I've periodically been trying to look for stuff online too but I'm so fucking lost, idk what I'm doing! I have never gone shopping for outfits proper.

All I ever wear is blue jeans I replace every 4-5 years, merch tshirts I get online from the media I like, and this cute vest thing I just stumbled upon while looking for thermals 2 winters ago.

And when it comes to costumes I've only ever sewn medieval/fantasy style costumes, I've never tried to put together anything contemporary, I'm so lost.

I don't know how to find fem outfits, all i need is a long navy blue pleated skirt T-T

Honestly, it is just a simple pleated skirt so I could totally just get the materials and a pattern at the local sewing shop and sew it myself, I could even hide pockets in the pleating.

I just don't have the energy to do that right now, I don't even have a proper sewing table in my office. I'd be sewing with my machine on the floor and I just don't want to do that.

If anyone's got advice or wants to hype me up to drag my sewing machine out please help

So I did draw and finished a Beelzebub redesign but not sure how I feel about it (more so the outfit than anything else. I love the hair tho 0.0) so I may or may not post it but thought I'd give you a little sneak peek regardless if anyone is interested.

I also plan on redraw Viv's Bee but she's gonna be my Beelzebub's daughter suppose to Beelzebub herself being honestly I do like KeshaBee, just not as THE Beelzebub if that makes sense.

I would love to talk about my Beelzebub tho if you guys want to send in some worldbuilding or character ask.

Chapter Summary: On Prince Mewtwo's birthday, Queen Mew gives her son a gift he didn't ask for. Mewtwo disapproves. Sabrina is confused.

Or: My "revising" old fanfiction to the point where it's something new continues. So if anyone is curious as to what a different take on the opening of Unwanted looks like, here you go!

[space--butterflies]

“Have you ever told her?” He asks. “Have you ever told her what you really are?” Caleb grits his teeth, his grip on his staff tightening. “I wonder, how would she feel? How would she feel knowing that her dear husband was next in line to be one of the most renowned witch hunters in all of New England?”

“I’m not that person anymore, Philip!” Caleb argues. “I saw through the lies and I chose to become someone else!”

“No, you chose to embrace the very evil we were meant to destroy!” Philip conjures a ball of fire. “You chose to marry a witch and father her children!” The flame grows larger with each accusation. “You chose to defile our family name by giving it to the barbaric monsters you call a family!”

He hurls the fire at Caleb, but he makes no move to avoid it or teleport out of the way. Instead, he quickly spins his staff, its magic catching the flame and allowing him to throw it back at him, the flame bursting on the wall behind him.

“I wouldn’t dare give my family a name built on hatred and lies. A name you further tarnished with your reputation,” he says, his voice steady and calm despite the anger in his eyes. Philip stumbles back when there’s a burst of light and Caleb suddenly appears behind him. “That’s why I chose to become a Clawthorne instead.”

sometimes you just gotta redraw a scene to fit a scene from your own fic

How many people die in The Thin Line Trilogy?

Well, Makoto died frame one, so there's that.

Hina dies.

Nagito is currently slated to die.

Junko's going to die (she waxes poetic about this, actually).

...at least two more beyond that are currently slated to die.

Normally, six people die in a Killing Game, so I think that should be the right body count for the trilogy, right?

[piningpercussionist]

Is it true Scott Pilgrim can also play drums? I heard in his last band he played drums for awhile! Is he better or worse than you?

HA! SCOTT? GOOD on drums? Is he telling that to people, or did you hear this from somebody else?

I mean, thinking back on it, I think Stephen might have mentioned Scott playing drums in their old college band with Envy? Neither of them really talks about it too much, least of all Scott- he used to freeze up and go catatonic at the slightest mention of her, so I've tried not to pry too much. It makes me feel weird seeing him like that.

Anyway, I'm only really gleaning what he volunteers, until he's entirely over that whole thing I guess. It feels a little awkward trying to get information out of Stephen about something like that, you know? Underhanded. Whenever he's ready to stop being a baby about it, he'll decide what he doesn't and doesn't want to share, and that's that. No matter how frustrating.

Back to him and drumming specifically... I've caught him messing with my set before, and it was only definable then as a cacophony, so far as I'm concerned. And not the good kind, of which there are some. If he can play the drums, I've definitely got him beat, no contest. There's a reason I'm in the band, I guess.

... He could probably beat me in a video game based around them, though, if there are any. He's ridiculously good at those, and whenever I play those kinds of games it never feels like it's properly on beat. It drives me crazy.

[oh-meow-swirls]

thinking about rewriting 3 just makes me really wanna get to rewriting it already, there's so much to work with there n it'll be v fun i think.

What if I finally returned to writing and continued my GAY ASS Tarnished OC x Radagon fanfic after a year...what if...

[k-she-rambles]

Working on the next chapter of the sequel rewrite and, you guys.

It is so hard. To not tip my hand too early about how I'm solving the Rey Skywalker thing.

( Not that it needs solving, star wars is about discovering family was there all along etc. Still changing it though)

I want all the hints to be there but also for Rey's clapback at Kylo Ren when he goes "your parents were nobodies" to be shocking

[magefeathers]

still can't belive my favorite band has a song called Vore. can't believe "I love Vore" is a sentence I get to say out loud to normal, unsuspecting people
