Recommending rote is hard because like a basic plot description of bastard son of a prince living in fantasy medieval Europe has issues is not appealing to a lot of people but bringing up other reasons I'm obsessed like the insanity that is fitzloved and dragons and the specific psychodrama of fitz feels like spoilers (and also how do I explain that between this series of 3 trilogies there are two other series I also love and want them to read).

I think part of the reason why I can't convince ppl to read rote is because I might sound desperate and a bit crazy and I need a new strategy

"they're debating whether or not sawamura daichi from haikyuu is more similar to percy jackson or annabeth chase" is already incredible but gets even weirder when you add the context of "in the comments of a zombie apocalypse au fanfic"

[centaur-dreaming]

[squarebracketsmileyface]

Tim.

After entry 80, after Crossroads.

Tim thinking about Jay and what they could have had.

Tim looking at Birdie and everything he's desperately trying to hold together for her.

I was looking at the post you reblogged about someone calling Clawd annoying and you said , “Book Clawd can choke” in one of the replies.

It might be an old reply though

Ohhhh yes.

I was referring to the Lisi Harrison books!

The third one has a focus on Clawdeen, and in it we see him and Draculaura get together and it seems pretty cute and sweet, and all around he's fine character wise, with the caveat that he's kinda sexist. Tbh the book portrays that as being a commonality in werewolf culture (which is....infuriating) But in the fourth one, which focuses on Draculaura, the two are actively dating and he suuuucks.

He's portrayed as being too embarrassed to be seen with her in front of his friends, so every time the two are together, it's just him brushing her off. Meanwhile she's going through a wicked hard time, because Dracula also sucks in that book and puts a shit ton of pressure on her. And book Draculaura is such a sweetheart, and kind of a pushover, so it's extra hard to read.

So yeah...book Clawd (and Dracula) can still choke lol.

you will never catch me defending the way one piece women are designed post timeskip but i will say what made me make peace w/ it in my brain was fem law. i knew that happened bc the internet blew the fuck up when that ep dropped but when i finally got there and saw it i was like. ah. okay. i understand now. the honkers simply come before all else. it's like a prereq now so if nami or robin or (sorry for saying it. but the wano close up) zoro aren't in the episode someone has to pick up the slack. there was so little chance to sexualize someone in an episode detailing the fight scene of thee ultimate fan fave side character vs thee big bad of the series that oda was like uhhhh and also law has huge tits now. you're welcome.

a funny thing that happens with classic literature sometimes is that you can read a book 3 times without having ever re-read it and also without ever reading the actual novel

I love crawling out of the depths, opening up tumblr, and seeing your art. I love it.

it is quite interesting how social media can fall to the wayside, and people on the internet can just disappear forever if they really wanted to! I admit I struggle to keep up with "public accounts", they are uniquely stressful and I solute your hibernating tenacity. always lovely to see you resurface regardless, thank you very much for the lovely compliment...

I will say in case any of my dear followers were wondering where i've gone for the past month and a half, for weeks i've been pondering how to even broach the enormity of the topic that is: I made the mistake of thinking about my most favorite character for more than 2 minutes in one sitting. I intentionally go out of my way to avoid this and have many strategies to evade this occurring because every time I do enter a sort of hermetically sealed mental chamber where it's just me and him and his life and I begin to ignore all points of previously established social contact and also my health indefinitely. It's difficult to convey the emotional experience of this or its psychic magnitude. and it's hard to say "guys i really love this character!" because that's just words. you can't see it. the 10 years of obsessively thinking about some guy so intensely on&off cyclically until you've made 20 different worlds he's living in... how does one convey the depth of these without artistically depicting them as you see them to be...? i am trying to figure it out. currently planning a longform comic for my favorite and several smaller comics for others, but logically an individual can understand this takes a while... he and I have had multiple rendezvous over the past decade and I wish I had more "historical" art to show but for many of these years I have been a bit too physically disabled to draw, the past several weeks have been spent attempting to recreate his ideal form as he exists in my head. he is starting to come around!

I typed up three separate disquisitions last month to try and explain my feelings on him and none of them felt like the proper vessel to communicate this concept. which is likely for the best. the obvious answer is "just draw him". fine with this being the case, difficult when I have so many drawing ideas I'm now sitting on 100+ works in progress and they just keep accumulating since my brain generates these like an old laptop you leave in the corner of your room to mine bitcoin. in a way I'm content with this being a very "personal" experience thus far, shared with me and those in my inner social circle (really cannot emphasize to my readers enough how fandom can poison your constitution without self-checked moderation). however... I yearn to meet others who are as passionately involved with him as I am, because I think we could coalesce our ideas, and passion, into something beautiful...

don’t even know where to start in detailing how horrific college is, so here’s some poetry!!!!!!!

tw: implied references of SA

the fury of the martyr has all but yet consumed

burn me in the aftermath, a very fitting doom

opal wonder shines as though the sun

if it is no longer me,

then what have i become?

the emptiness fills me as though i am a cavern

nothing but the oxygen inside

clawing at my senses is a void of all control.

control

never obtained

only hungry

i am hungry

but never fully

enough to consume

never like this

never like you

why are there so many people like you?

do you see how

i tried so hard

at the start

and now i am nothing

with nothing to show

that i have tried

this whole time

i have tried

but my best

is not

what i can

produce

at the moment

because i have

to still

deal

with

you.

a knife

carved out

my teeth

my throat

my lungs

they bleed

they’re strung

along

along

along

along

along

you follow the trail i leave behind

picking up the pieces to make something entirely new

a body

where you have felt

the horrors

of my own

because you now have

my teeth

my throat

my lungs

but i am still the one

with the reason

to scream.

i still have my soul

and the life i lived to feel this pain

why do you wish to ache this way so desperately?

have you not known it before?

it seems to be that way

do you not know the dangers of falsehoods?

once they discover

the truth

they will never

again

believe you

or anyone else

who screams.

HAVE YOU TRIED TO SCREAM?

THE LONGER YOU DO SO,

THE SOONER THEY LEAVE.

THEY GROW TIRED

AND ANGRY

AT YOU, AND NOT YOUR MONSTER,

AND THEY RUN TO THEM,

KNOWING THE RISK,

AND HOLDING ON ANYWAYS,

BECAUSE THE IDEA OF AN ABUSER

IS ALWAYS NICER

THAN THEY COULD EVER PRETEND TO BE.

the world thought i cried wolf,

despite the truth in my words,

but they follow you blindly

like you are the shepherd

and not the wolf

i ran from.

you are the wolf

just like my monster was

is

is

is

no matter how kind he must seem now,

he is still the same wolf

no monster can change enough to be good

they still howl at the moon

and hunger for flesh

the blood washes down the feast with the rest

but they can be kind

that’s the scariest part

they only fear you once you scream

i am no longer screaming

i am nothing to fear

he knows

you should too

don’t accuse me of being the wolf

when it is my blood on your hands

i cannot speak

but you will howl

a wolf in sheep’s clothing

is still a beast with an empty stomach

it just killed to dress like prey

so it, too,

could feel the warmth

of the herd.

i am already too scared to move

too scared to leave

and now you’ve ensured

my immediate lack of safety

everybody hates me,

but that i am used to.

it is just the vile reason

that has altered.

now i’m thought to be the reason

of someone else’s demise

when i am still recovering

from mine.

from how it looks on paper,

i will never get to

it’ll never leave me

and i’ll never tell my story

never fully

never completely

i don’t have the time to explain everything

nor anyone to tell

not like they’d believe me.

i am painted a liar, once more.
