Neta: alright small meeting....so I talked with Candie and we're going to have a sale. Anyone who buys 15 dollars worth of jewelry can get a piercing for free. Doesn't matter the location. Tongue, navel, ears, anything so remind customers about that promotion?............. Also I know this is going to be very annoying but I'm going to be absent.. again....You'll see me but just not as much. It's not for personal reasons it's for........ work reasons. I not sure-

Warabi: I'm also not going to be here. It's a family business kinda thing.

Neta:................ Shit......*sigh* okay so the store is going to be run by mhai. I trust you to keep things in order.

Mahi: That's your first mistake

Neta: watch it..... I know you will and my fiance will be here to help while I'm out! You guys already know ikkan so no need for introductions. Please be nice to him. He's everything to me [kisskisskisskiss]

Ikkan:hehehehe..... Neta stop.....hehe...hi everyone

Neta:mahi and Candi you guys will show him around the store get him adjusted to everything while we're out....he knows the basics and my job as well... So it won't be hard........*clap* great...... Warabi... Step into my office for a second

Warabi: ok

Neta: what's the family business thing??

Warabi: why don't you tell me about your little work thing?

Neta: I asked first

Warabi: fine. I think you already know........... My grandpa's wants me do some stupid mission to get some zap fishes....... He thinks these power outages are a great opportunity for me "to continue family legacy ." Whatever that means.

Neta: well I have to do the same thing........well it's kind of confidential but my old superior called me up, told me that your gramps needed a new power source specifically for the underground. They want something smaller than a great zapfish. Maybe like an eel or something....... *Sigh*.......... I have to go with a Splatoon to get one.

Warabi: Oh so suddenly Octarian society can get their own power source? What was stopping us before? Why did we have to steal it?

Neta: It's complicated.... It's mostly money related and people and power related.......but now we have the inkling military to help us..... I think we're just called the military at this point.

Warabi: Wait... So if you're going to get this stupid eel why do I need to go on a mission to get little zapfish!? That seems like a waste of time!

Neta: we need a temporary power source and I guess those little ones is the best we got. You don't know how hard it is to get a fish that big? they live in freshwater, you know cephalopods and freshwater do not mix....*sigh*........ it's probably gonna be a fucking month just for training and planning.... Cod..... Just be lucky you get to have an easy job..... Mr. Octavio's grandson

Warabi: shut up!! Think you can go with me on the mission?

Neta: to get tiny zapfishs? Just go to the canyons and just get them. They're everywhere! scattered, Left from the turf war.

Warabi: please! You have more experience than me!

Neta:....*sigh*..... Ok.......... Tomorrow morning meet me at my apartment. Pack your weapon and your uniform nothing else.... I'll take you to headquarters and we'll do the mission.

Warabi: yay!!

Neta: you tell no one! Not even mahi!

Warabi: yes! My first mission.......... this actually might be fun!

Neta: yep..........so fun..................... Let's get back to work.

Mahi: so considering you're marrying Neta does that mean you're also our boss?

Ikkan: I...I think-

Neta: ok! Everyone we have a busy day today and even a busier day tomorrow.........*sigh*...... Warabi and I are going to be late tomorrow

Mahi: ok...... What's going on?

Warabi: it's octo stuff. You wouldn't understand

Mahi: bet

Ikkan: you ok babe

Neta: when I went on missions it was life or death when he goes 'it might be fuuuun'... Cod they coddled the fuck out of him... He just pisses me off sometimes

Ikkan: remember what your therapist said....... Deep breaths and reflect. What are you actually mad at.

Neta:...*huff*......... I'm mad that I live through multiple traumatic events without a stable support system and other shit Yeah, yeah........... It's still not fair

Ikkan: I know...[kiss].......Please. Just be safe during your missions.... I don't know what I'll do if something happens.

Neta: I'll be fine babe it's not the first time I''ve done something like this.... it's only 2 months [kiss]

Mahi: No way you're going on a mission?! I thought you said you didn't want to be in the military!

Warabi: I'm not it's just something I'm doing for my grandpa.

Neta: WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!!

Warabi: oh you were serious. Oops

Neta: *huff*

Ikkan: deep breaths....

Neta: mmmmmm... Thanks for doing this.....I hope this isn't affecting your classes.

Ikkan: it's not....... These classes are going to be taken online and there's only three lectures I'll be fine... I might stay a while. [Kiss]

[The next day]

Neta: ok so your mission slip says that you need......... To get at least 20 zap fishes send them up to power the bunkers. All right, that doesn't sound so bad

Warabi:20!!! It's going to take allllll day!! I thought we were going to get like five or six. How do we even get them?

Neta: 20 is not that many. It's pretty easy to get. They're scattered everywhere in the canyons. Past soldiers used to make it an optical to get. Mostly traps......made it harder for the enemy to steal.

Warabi: so We have to go through an obstacle course that sounds dumb......

Neta: Yeah well it was a different time back then......... take your weapon.............. ..... See that glowy thing up there? On top of that, ledge. That's a zap first. We need to find a way up there.

Warabi: ok so what do we do.

Neta: hmmm..... Shoot your ink on that wall right there, climb up and Squid roll onto the side and then you'll be up

Warabi: ........... ...... ok ......... Let me just...... load my weapon and do- shit! One sec

Neta: .......*sigh*.... do you want me to do it?

Warabi: yes please.

(3 hours later)

Neta: Warabi This is ridiculous. I've done most of this mission. You haven't gotten a single zapfish! This mission is easy, 14-year-old could do this. I should know.

Warabi: I inked up one of the walls, two actually.

Neta:.....*sigh*..... We have 19 zapfish. You're getting this last 1

Warabi: fine! Since you're going to complain!.........hm?...uhh?

Neta: sink through the grates

Warabi: I know!! Shut up!...... Just give me a second....got it

Neta: great! now we can go home and I can take the stupid uniform off.......cod... I hope this ink comes out

Warabi: I like the uniform..... Hey we're matching

Neta: I can't even look at myself.....

Warabi: what! You look good though. I like the color and the uniform looks really flattering....... very form fitting......

Neta:........................

Warabi: oh come on Neta. Look I get it I didn't do much but it's because I don't have that much experience. I suck at being a soldier...... but I'll try if we do this again I'll prove that I am made for this

Neta: Warabi...............*sigh* ........ It's a privileged that you didn't have to do this........... This job wasn't kust catching zapfish. Small ones or great ones......... it violence, it's conflict........It's fighting just for your right to exist...... .... it's kill or be killed......... It's going out everyday knowing that you're going to die or someone that you've grown to love deeply dies and there's nothing you can do about it......*sniff* .....You have no time to process what happened. No time to mourn......

Warabi:...............

Neta:Or you kill someone.... You could never forget their face the look of fear and defeat it stays with you......*crying*.........it haunts you!.......... feel so helpless........*crying* no matter the outcome you're ruining someone's life,There's or your own! Over stupid land!......You're so lucky you had a choice to choose a different path in life. I'm happy for you....... But I envy you at the same time! I see you and your life, your family and I......I-I just get angry!...... angry at myself, at my life....... At my people....... you don't get how blessed you are.......*Crying*

Warabi:........................I guess I don't........... . Neta I'm sorry-

Neta: *inhale*.........* exhale*......... it doesn't matter......*sniff*.....What happened, happened. It's behind me now......... I'm healing from it.I'm growing from it. ...*sigh*.......... it's ok.Let's go home......... I told my superior that you got most of the zapfish..............

Warabi................ Ok

Neta:....*sniff*........ I'm sorry.... that happens sometimes..... Don't worry about it..... forget this happened.......... I'm hungry... Let's go I'll buy us some ramen or something?

Warabi:.......... Neta......................................... yeah I could eat something

Neta: great!........it's fine..... I'm fine..... that didn't just happen-uh

Warabi:[hug]........................ I'll pay for the food.... maybe we can do something after...

Neta:........... Yeah... Ok..... Maybe we can skip work today.....[hug]

(Epilogue)

Mahi: hey you're back! how was it?

Warabi:.........Fine...... I got food

Mahi: nice!.......... So was it fun! Or is it a secret?

Warabi: ................ ......... Yeah

Mahi: ok

(Later at night)

Mahi: ....*sleep*....

Warabi:....... Hey Mahi

Mahi: hmhmh.. yeah

Warabi:....... Am I ungrateful.....

Mahi:.... No..... I don't think so?..... Did Neta yell at you because if so we know where he lives-

Warabi: no he didn't........ it's just

Mahi: what? What happened?

Warabi: octo stuff......hmm... can I sleep here tonight?

Mahi: ..*yawn*........*pat*...*Pat*.....

Warabi: thanks.............. does Neta talk about the military.....

Mahi: he tries to avoid it............ night.......*Sleep*

Warabi: ok.................... this pillow smells like mizole's cheap ink gel

Mahi:shut up

Mahi was crafted by @fish-at-fish-fish-resort

#yeah neta and Warabi adventure #i had more to write but I didn't feel like it #It already felt too long #just picture Neta lying in bed self loathing and doesn't reach out to ikkan for support #but basically neta did most of the work Warabi was just there #neta sharing too much information and then immediately regrets it #Neta having a semi mental breakdown time #two bro sleeping in the same bed a couple feet apart cuz they're not gay......... or just not for each other #Warabi doing some self reflection yay #mahi was prepared to jump Neta in the middle of the night they don't care #“someone that you've grown to love deeply dies” That sounds very specific #what is? Is it A. a past love? B. a childhood best friend C. a rivals to buddies relationship or D. all of the above #neta

#good omens #´hello friends!! how are you!!#I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` )#I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey #usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from #most of the time I just get a stuffy nose #has my nose gotten stronger #but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁)#it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet #but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (:#and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors #I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set #the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer #but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet #unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home #which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car

fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started

#i’m part of the demographic where i was a kid when adventure time started and now watching fionna and cake as an adult makes me emotional #because did they keep us in mind when writing fionna and her attitude towards life #the dissatisfaction #the hoping for something more #something more magical than this dreary life filled with working to live and living to work #it’s so reflective of how life feels for me and perhaps many of us #and also Simon’s episode was so sad but so well thought out #exploring his feelings after the events of the adventure time finale is something I’m glad we get to see #there were already so many layers to his character in AT but now it feels like we get to dive deeper #I also felt emotional hearing Rebecca Sugar singing and writing a song that encapsulates his feelings so well #😭 it’s been awhile seeing her work exist alongside these characters #and all of these emotions get stronger because I remember AT being the one to inspire me to be a storyboard artist #when I was younger I used to follow many of the board artists here in tumblr and would get so inspired by them #to create simple but powerful boards that can capture the feelings of characters so well #Rebecca Sugar’s songs for the AT characters inspired me so much too #I’m sorry this is long I’m just feeling so many things experiencing all of this again as an adult #my art #fanart #adventure time #fionna and cake #fionna the human #cake the cat #simon petrikov

If you give someone a ride home, or walk someone home, don't leave or drive away until you see them get inside and close the door behind them. Make sure you see to it that they get fully get inside safely before you leave.

This also applies to temporary residences, such as a hotel, airbnb, dormitories, ect.

Seeing to it that they fully make it inside safely isn't just about fear of something as drastic as an assault or a mugging. It would also be awfully annoying and stressful for them if they lost their key, and before realizing they're locked out their ride or walking companion has already sped off, so now they're stuck outside alone with nowhere else to go, and possibly a dead phone (when it rains it pours). Or maybe there's dangerous fauna in the area. Or maybe the neighbor's poorly trained dog with aggression issues is loose. Or maybe they slip and hurt themselves while walking to the door.

Even if you're absolutely positive they'll make it to the door safely, it's still a kind and thoughtful gesture to let them know that you care enough about their safety to see to it that they make it inside safely.

#manners #good manners #courtesy #etiquette #politeness #submission #I wanted to add something about dropping someone off at work or school #but I feel like that's more complicated and I felt like this was already getting too long #I feel like people are often more likely to do this for residences than places like work or school #because residences are often more isolated than workplaces or school #so less likely than someone can come to their aid right away if something is wrong and they need help #same with why this is more likely to be done in the evening or at night #because it's less likely that a neighbor or random passerby will see them and see that they need help if it's evening or night time #I feel like people are less likely to do this for work or school first and foremost because of traffic and time constraints #but also people are more likely to be starting work or school in the morning in broad daylight #so lots of witnesses and passerby-s around if they need help for whatever reason #but I think if it can be helped this can also be a nice thing to do when dropping someone off at work or school #especially if they start work or school in the evening or at night #and also especially if their school or workplace is somewhere more isolated

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)

#svsss #bingqiu #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #lbh #sqq #i've been working through the series of unfortunate events and somehow that series has paired really nicely with svsss #the themes of cycling violence and what's justified and what isn't and what can possibly be done differently #and how trying to bring love and honour into the midst of it really changes nothing but also changes everything #it's just *chef's kiss*#i don't know how i can quite do my thoughts justice but i've spent the past few weeks quietly going between the two series (and mdzs and tg #as well if we're being honest they all hit similar questions and themes) and just reveling in the pain and ambiguity of it #everything is interconnected and it means you can never know what trauma and pain and necessity has shaped a person #each story goes too far back to ever ever EVER possibly see the full extent of it #at that level even communication itself is nearly impossible.#and because of that it's almost impossible to change anything. beat yourself apart and the outcome is the same #and yet ATTEMPTING to change things ATTEMPTING to do the kind thing the honourable thing is absolutely critical #because while you can change nothing you also have the capacity to change EVERYTHING #aaaaaaah i don't even know what i'm saying #but i read the beatrice letters today and the love letter just. killed me.#(obviously i cherrypicked some lines because it's three pages long but those ones felt right)#''i love you like a corpse loves a vulture's beak'' i just. can't get over that line.#to be completely changed. altered. destroyed. redeemed. purified. desecrated. reduced to nothing yet entirely necessary for another's life.#what a FUCKING line #anyway i was either going to blow up from thinking about it or else i had to exorcise it via art from an entirely different series #i've already done svsss and discworld why not throw a series of unfortunate events into the mix #i'll be honest folks i did not expect svsss to be the mxtx series that would fuck me up the most about the main ship #bingqiu is something else. i don't even know how to begin to approach my feelings on it. impossibility and necessity all at once #bizarre #my art

#in the game files the last image of hunter's ascension ending - the one with nsh - is named “embrace”#as a side note #i typically as i like to interpret slugcats as...#intelligent of course as they can draw and sign in downpour lore...#but in a different way from humans. in a different way from iterators.#that's just how i like to interpret them though - if you like to interpret slugcats in a more anthropomorphized/humanized fashion #i'm glad for you and i'm glad you're having fun too :)#anyways i wrote this comic the way i did because i felt like it was the best and most succinct way #to get the message i was trying to express across #so hunter's thoughts are pretty straightforwardly written despite the more complex concepts behind them #i mean they are also made and raised by an iterator so that could come into play #maybe i could have thought of a different way but eh i already drew the comic #rain world #rw hunter #no significant harassment #flickerdoodles #comic #long post #rw spoilers #art

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later #malevolent podcast #john doe #john doe malevolent #john malevolent #malevolent fanart #grimm art #ep 43 #ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might #be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads #things get forgotten easily #i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an #equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's #anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego #CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human #i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me #it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed #realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro #) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD #JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette #and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode #guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

rewatched Kurogiri's holiday story from ultra impact (not related to sketch at all)

(but it did inspire me)

on another note

finally!!

#fanart #sketch #my art #bnha #shigaraki tomura #tenko shimura #kurogiri #I cried a bit while playing it I missed the classic LoV I missed Kurogiri WITH the LoV it's been so long :(#and it feels like last chapter (423 atm) broke the seal of sketching them as anything but something static #it took me two or so days to just understand that Kurogiri is... yeah #I can't believe it took Horikoshi so long to bring him back but as I said and will say it again I glad it happened at all #after some thought I just want to sit with the chapters #anyway getting the preordered book was so much fun #it was full of LoV from Toga and Dabi talking about her house to Tenko being upset over being told that he doesn't have friends #and everything in-between basically only Compress left to join in the next volume #I think????#I actually want to get another one already they're so goodddd #and the translation sounds pretty good but I checked some pages not the whole book it'll be boring #it's actually so weird to think that I started a goal of reading the whole series ad it was now officially coming out like this back in 201 #and now it's 2024 and the translation is pretty much ahead of anime and maybe it'll be faster than viz volumes too #since it's 2 in 1 basically - I think it's really great since I save some money but get LoV chapters every time #because they appear every 2 books at the start of the series and back then it was hard for me to get them #but I felt content seeing all the books that I bought when I was visiting family for holidays this month because there are so many of them #and I don't need any wi-fi or internet in general to read them back to back now with an addictional volume #they have some mistakes but I don't mind them it feels good to just hold all of them (and a bit heavy after like 8 books) and now it's 18

↠ Tim & Lucy ↳ 5x04 - The Choice

#chenford #chenfordedit #the rookie #therookieedit #tim x lucy #tim and lucy #lucy x tim #jesuis-assez edits: chenford #jesuis-assez edits: chenford season 5 #jesuis-assez edits: chenford scenes 5x04 #They were both hurting so much and longing for the other #the only way they could show how much the other meant to them in that very moment was through a look #Tim poured everything he felt in that look and Lucy mirrored it back just as deeply.#the way Lucy's eyes followed Tim down until she could no longer see him and even then her eyes lingered just a little more.#That's just how they are.#Showing their love through looks and actions #everything they couldn't voice in that moment they communicated with their eyes.#because Tim telling Lucy it's too dangerous was really him saying: I can't risk anything happening to you. I can't lose you.#I don't even have you now and it kills me to be apart from you.#I don't want to imagine what it'd be like without you. Without your presence in my life. And the thing is.. he already knows.#Before her... he's life was in shambles and she came and changed everything for him.#She's been this constant beacon of light and kindness in his life that continues to influence him for the better.#The love of his life.#Just one last look if it is the last thing I see. It'll be you. And your eyes. Your kindness. All that you are & all that you have given me #They held that look for as long as they possibly could before Tim went completely down. They dove into the ocean of each other's eyes #and found something there that was of equal measure.#an understanding of just how important they are to the other.#just how much love was conveyed in a single look of desperation.

i'm having hyperfixation drought so i did what i did best and created a crossover episode

#trafficblr #life series #hermitcraft #qsmp #the drought's been crazy i had to make qsmp x life series/hermitcraft you don't understand i literally had to #i literally cannot tag all of the cubitos without going over the limit so i'm gonna use them to rant about these doodles instead #when i tell you that i think dl!pearl would've loved tilín i'm telling you i think she would've LOVED them like.#something about just wanting to find love at every turn but feeling unwanted spdihgpisadhfpa. and also tilín's name is similar to tilly LOL #the jelly egg is just like if the double life jelly pandas were just an egg that scar loves with all his heart and grian reluctantly accept #i think out of all the duos in qsmp. the one i would want to see in the dl soumate premise the most is slimeriana. it's the dysfunctionalit #i made a post in the past about pac and tango being my fav cubitos bcs they were both crazy cartoonish and like scientists #but it kinda felt like a disservice to leave mike and zedaph out because to me they're argubly crazier and more cartoonish #missa and tim are paired bcs i just really wanted an excuse to draw the wet cats and it just so happened they both have relations to death #skizz and jaiden as the lawyers who were SHOCKINGLY good at their jobs like they cooked with that one #(was also gonna draw joe and roier as bad lawyers but i was running outta steam)#someone's already made a post about grian and (el) quackity and their eye entities so not much elaboration needed there #fit and etho just give the same vibe to be as a dude who has a reputation and is well-known and seems intimidating #i also made fit's arms way too skinny and i don't like it...but i'm not gonna go back and change it now i spent embarassingly long on this #but then his silliness is brought out by The Narrative #foolish and bdubs is one of my favorite drawings because i just knew i wanted to highlight the silly height difference #just realized they're also both god-like figures at least at some point #cellbit and rendog. cat and dog and lore. enough said about their connection.#i couldn't decide who fit etoiles combat hungry anime protagonist vibe best bcs martyn was originally paired with him #but i wanted martyn with phil so i went with my second options: joel and gem #i couldn't draw them mid rage but essentially the title is derived from “WHO KILLED EMPANADA” and “do me a favor. die for me.”#philza minecraft and martyn inthelittlewood. they feel like twins but one is evil (it's martyn)#SOMETHING I FORGOT THAT I WISH I ADDED: BBH AND BIGB AS THE ENTITIES WHO LIE. I HATE MYSELF HOW COULD I FORGET THAT #if i were to pair impulse with someone it would be tubbo? either him or scar would've been with tubbo #and then lizzie i just did not know who i wanted to pair her with. no one really does it like her in my opinion #scott's someone i also had no idea who to put him with he's just so...him...

Ah yes, if requests are still open

Even tho i know it was a joke-

More trans Solar and Ruin art please? (I grew emotionally attached with just one picture)

"I can't belive we're both eclipses and trans!"

Congratulations on being my first requester on here!! Though I'm not quite sure if you ment to send me the ask and not @/quasar-kaiser since the request makes a little more sense with the context of their post on the same topic(?)

There's a version with a blank flag below the cut

I cling onto the fact Solar knits with everything I've got

Thinking about the song "Ship in Port" by Radical Face and clones

Thinking about the line "Farewell to the chains we were born into" and what that can mean for the clones

Thinking about how "But I have always stayed in place/Under that old illusion that it's safe" could equally describe Hunter, Echo, and (s1+2) Crosshair's complete opposite approaches to the Empire and post-war life.

The way Crosshair clings to his identity as a soldier of the Empire

And Echo as a soldier of the Republic

But Hunter puts his identity as a soldier behind him

Crosshair fights for the Empire to gain purpose

Echo fights against the Empire to save his brothers

And Hunter decides the Empire is too strong to even try to oppose

"A ship in port is a safer one"

"but it's not the reason it was made"

"So forgive me if I wander off"

"And forgive me more if I just stay"

Thinking about what The Bad Batch could have been if it had more fully explored the differences between those ideologies

(Thinking about what The Bad Batch could have been if it had dedicated more screen time to the 'reg' clones within the Empire and the underground network's fight to free them , instead of just sidelining Echo and Rex for a hypothetical clone rebellion show we might never get)

#i have lots of thoughts and many draft posts in which i've been struggling to figure out how to word those thoughts #tbb had SO much potential #it was so close!#it really could have been on par with Andor if it has just tried #i feel like i'm projecting these themes that aren't really there #the pieces are there the show just didn't focus on them #i considered saying hunter 'hides from the empire to protect his family' but that never included crosshair just omega #so that felt like giving him too much credit #ignore the music video i just really love the acoustic version bc MMM that viol!#the rest of the lyrics totally fit for clones of this era too btw #like SO WELL ugh #if i had the time resources and attention span I'd make a music video #maybe someday...#(lol i have waay too many projects stuck in my brain and also the new semester started and i'm already so behind rip)#while we're on the subject of radical face and clones #“always gold” is THE perfect heartbreaking Kix song!#tbb #tbb analysis #sw tcw #tbb echo #tbb hunter #tbb crosshair #arc trooper echo #the clones #radical face #bardic musings #sorry i didn't credit the gifs #this has been in my drafts since long before i knew people care about that and i can't find where i found them from #just know the shitty ones are the ones i made lol

PLEASE STOP COPYING FICS ‼️

I am by no means gatekeeping concepts or tropes. We all know that it’s normal to see the same tropes or AUs be used differently, and that is not plagiarism. However, I recently found a fic that was oddly similar to my old (and discontinued) Gojo x Reader series, Reckless. The CEO! Gojo is nothing new, and neither is an accidental pregnancy trope. The only reason I am concerned is because this Gojo series I found has the exact same themes as Reckless that consists of: a playboy CEO Gojo with a very notorious reputation, a poor reader who is an employee and asset to the company (someone who works closely with Gojo), reader getting knocked up from a one night stand with Gojo, reader with a seemingly dead/absent mother yet still in contact with her father, Gojo with a very traditional family who does not like reader, and Gojo with an ex he struggles to let go of - which are all elements of Reckless.

The first chapter of that Gojo fic is also eerily similar to my first chapter with the same flow of: YN finding out she’s pregnant and her friend being there for her, Gojo saying he’ll take responsibility because ‘they both made the baby’, YN having to move in with Gojo to take care of the baby, and both of them coming to a mutual agreement that their ‘relationship’ will be purely for the baby’s benefit. The flow of events and specific details about the characters’ backgrounds are too similar to mine.

Again, I am not gatekeeping concepts, just as how I’ve had other writers ask me if they could write their own stories or takes based off of the NAOYA’S TROPHY WIFE COLLECTION or the BONTEN HUSBANDS EXCLUSIVE, and I’m fine with that. I’m even happy people are inspired by what I write. But being inspired is completely different from taking someone’s story and posting it as yours. Please trust your own creativity and skills in writing. You can write amazing stories and have people love them without having to steal from others.

It’s sad to say this is not the first time I, and other writers, have been plagiarized. It’s even more upsetting to know that a friend of mine who has also written a Gojo series (that I’m sure you all know and dearly love) experiences the same issues with the same person. The fact that this is happening to many writers out there is disheartening. We work hard and pour a lot of love in the stories we create. None of us are getting paid for this, and we simply want to share our passions with others. So please, let us be kinder with one another and show love and support the right way. If you love a fic, you give feedback and rb/comment + show support to the writer. You don’t steal their ideas and play it off as your own because you liked it.

#for context: my Reckless series was posted around 2021 and this new Gojo series I found was posted in 2023 (when I was already in my hiatus)#i’m just... this is so upsetting. i have been in love with jjk for so long but i won’t lie and say the fandom hasn’t given me problems :(#there always seems to be drama or issue going around... why can’t we just all enjoy reading x reader fics in peace #if its not hate anons or discourse it’s plagiarism. it’s tiring #this is one of the reasons why i moved fandoms after my jjk works. because i used to love it sm but i just felt stressed out #and imagine my shock when i saw my friend got plagiarized bcos no way you guys are doing this to someone who worked hard on a fic for YEARS #imagine my double shock when i see that writer’s page and see a similar work to mine too like 😭 c’mon guys. you guys have big brains.#you can write something juicy and awesome without ripping it off from others #and please do not send hate to this creator at all! that is not the intention of this post. i will also not be dropping any names.#now i’m aware i take inspos from other media too - i say it often that my fics take inspo from k-dramas or songs #but i take inspirations only. i do not copy the entire thing and then tweak one minor detail to make it ‘a little different’
