Neil gaiman is such a fucking hack. All he does is ride off Terry pratchets coattails, gets. I really hate the word cuck but idk how else to describe the Amanda Palmer situation. Cucked by women and regurgitates that into flat one dimensional characters. Queer baits and panders to trashy online YA level drivel types. He’s the definition of the word fandom. If men like his garbage they’re always the kind of guy who has a beard and lets you know he has a beard. He probably owns a kilt despite not being remotely Scottish. Funko pop owner for sure, has a mini tardis and probably that dr who scarf. A pentagram tattoo, maybe some runes.

And like. Neil gaiman is a capable writer do not get me wrong. But his idea of creative writing is theorizing about how the afterlife is all bureaucracy bc that’s never been done by a bitter atheist. It’s always secularly Christian too isn’t it? I mean i guess that’s what he knows.

So im saying this knowing that he’s not solely responsible for it, really, and having read the comics and not enjoyed them at all but continued to have done so out of some weird sense of obligation, I’m very angry to admit that I’m enjoying the stupid Netflix production of dead boy detectives. It is absolutely a mishmash of other similar cw-type shows, but that’s just the thing. I eat that shit up. Riverdale, Sabrina, teen dramas with obnoxious editing and low brow production value. I even liked the second season of good omens despite like, hating a solid 40% of the secondary character and plot direction. It’s sorta like eating little Debbie cakes yknow? Or binging reality tv.

DBDA is better than all that, like it’s a crust above but it’s wrapped in the trappings of really shitty things, and whenever it manages to be a bit better it’ll sink a smidge lower by referencing its ilk or doing exactly what you’d expect of it.

Whenever I see the ‘two skinny whitish boys with obvious sexual tension and an annoying women in the middle’ I stop and ask myself— does this writer have a track record of making the same dynamic.

An obnoxious woman is not a bad thing. She can be a good thing even, but if she’s a mirror image of a million other toxic characters that indicates two things: projection, or a formula. Especially when paired between two male characters that clearly interact in ways that urge the audience to say ‘they should kiss!’

Then she becomes an obstacle. It’s rare for a character in this role to rise above the narrative, and even rarer for authors to try and write one capable of that.

A lot of fans will see people hating on her and cry ‘misogyny!’ Instead of asking why she was written, and why hundreds of other past iterations and future clones of her continue to be written. A similar character is the empty lesbian who stands in both popular media and fanfiction to prove that the author is not just obsessing over gay men and throws a bone to the supposed lesbian audience as well.

And then you have the flat poc or other LBT, sometimes disabled characters who serve to act as a tick mark off a checklist. It’s lazy, it’s annoying. But that’s a whole different can of vaguely related worms

I've been feeling the modding juice flow back so I took a quick break in my DA trilogy replay to work on a top I had saved for some time now 🤠

Leather and Latex, they will have 5 colors each, for both fem and masc~ (it looks really cool underneath jackets and boleros especially uwu)

Been fighting the weights all day but I won't be able to make it any better >:O Clipping is to be expected around the collar (that's why it's "floating" / away from the skin, to avoid a maximum of clipping 🙏) and ofc ofc clipping with cyberhands and cyberarm will happen as well

One last Pride Inspired mod for June 🙏 s'not like they will stop coming tho but that's STLL IN THEME TM ghfhg

Apparently Daniel Craig is trying to get funding to make a movie of that version of Othello he did on stage in 2016 and it just made me think about those cute rehearsal pics where i always think he looks like he’s at school idk why (probably the little notepads and sitting on benches listening to someone talk)

Sam: "Look at me. Hey- look at me a second. I know. I know you're tough. I know how strong you are. You have every right to be proud of that. But being able to handle somethin' doesn't mean you should have to. Least of all when I'm right here trying to help. Please let me help. If not for you then for me, because I don't like knowin' you're hurtin', especially when there's somethin' I can do about it."

Me, shaking my head, fighting back literal tears: "B-but it's gonna give you another headache!"

Just a heads up, I might open commissions soon since I'll need extra budget for the next month! I know I still have a backlog of ko-fi doodles I need to work on but I'll try my best to do them alongside the comms 😤💪💪💪

In the end I decided to dnf The Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. I was almost a third into it and I really didn't care about any of the characters. I didn't hate it, I just genuinely didn't care for it. I finally got my copy of A Prayer For The Crown Shy by Becky Chambers, so that will be my companion in the next while. This week I finally finished my lectures for this semester, and yesterday I decided to take the day off to reset. I have a lot to do now to prepare my exams, so the next few weeks will be pretty intense, but I have a good to do list and hopefully I'll move through it quickly. I don't know yet if I'll manage to be ready for my history laboratory exam in June, or if I'll end up doing it at the beginning of July, but I know I have my English exam on the 17th of June, so now that is the priority. I am currently rereading Richard II, which i think I'll finish tomorrow. Then I'll move onto the three articles I have to study, and hopefully be done with them by the end of the week. I should also start researching for my history laboratory paper, but I might do that next week. I'll figure things out as I go. Today I am also taking the afternoon off to spend time with my brother, so that should help me recharge to then power through the second half of the week.

Today's productivity:

read first thing in the morning

finished rewriting the annotations I made on my copy of Richard II

started my second reread of Richard II (and read 40% of it)

made a new master to do list for the next month and planned the rest of my study week

updated my reading journal
