#Just musing out loud

It seems like Unsha is.... fairly tame? At least compared the horrendous feats of Urak and Heperu. He almost seems more grounded compared to them? Unlike Urak and Heperu, who are obssessed with winning to the point of trying over and over again, Unsha accepts his loss gracefully and moves forward with other things.

Ivan was a gift to Unsha's wife for her birthday. He chose children based off of their potential, and when Ivan showed the most promise he gave him full investment. Instead of forcing out Ivan's talent through more heavily abusive means (nurturing, it seems to be called), he brings Ivan to success through sponsorships, methodical marketing and exposure. Unsha considers the things he learned from being with Ivan and takes interest in what Ivan's thoughts might have been before death. He says that despite everything, Ivan was worth the investment and worth the loss.

I'm not trying to say that Unsha was a "good parent", he was neglectful to Ivan's personal needs and worked him relentlessly among other things. There definitely could have been more diabolical actions that haven't been revealed yet. He undoubtedly viewed Ivan as a product that he needed to sell (a businessman in all areas), but it's just interesting to note his differences and train of thought. Much to think about.

You know, from the last week or so I've been pondering something.

Honestly maybe the last few months honestly?

I've found myself in situations where I've found someone going on rants about all the problems in a piece of media. And I've been watching and thinking 'honestly I agree that these are problems'

And yet I still enjoyed the thing regardless?

IDK what it's about. I feel kinda weird for it. But I guess I'm kinda comfy with it? it's hard to maintain, and makes me sad sometimes when my happy lil' bubble is threatened... But, maybe it's part of me learning to be happier about the things I enjoy? idk

thinking about deadloch again and how eddie and dulcie should've fucked

[thekingofmuses]

Shot in the dark, but since I do have a fondness for boxer characters, what if I rp'ed Ed??

[littledancingphoenix]

When you really think about it, Kazuya and Lars have some things in common, though the trauma is definitely different. I can’t help but feel bad for them for losing their mothers because of the same tyrannical asshole.

[communicationnskills]

Okay but thinking about it now I’m actually sad that Tim and Lucy probably won’t ever patrol together again... like that’s been 99% of their dynamic for over 4 seasons so to not have that again is just weird! This is one of those things that I wish the show would allow us to suspend disbelief a little bit and have them stay partners, like all the other shows do ( could literally name like 5 ships on cop shows that work together ) but anyway, I know why they are doing this storyline and I liked everything that happened in the episode last night but it still makes me a little sad thinking on this!

i have GOT to get more shameless about posting my oc content, but i also want to get more practice with writing preexisting characters...hmm

[thekingsofironfist]

I realize that the Archers of Sirius consider it their duty to exorcize demons, but I wonder when it comes to Kazuya and Jin. How much is Heihachi's influence??

[dreamlandcreations]

My head is filled with House of the Dragon scenarios, really it's otherwise empty at the moment 😵‍💫 but I can't decide

Or should I go with just making (a) moodboard(s) bc I'm more likely to be actually finishing that(/them)? 🤔

something something danny had a dog before he met rachel

then she took the dog in the divorce (that was petty af wtf) and dragged the poor senior dog to hawai'i where it died during a two week quarantine so danny didn't even get to say goodbye

something something steve wasn't a dog person but ended up getting a dog

then he left hawai'i and left the dog with danny

at least this time danny got the dog, so that's somewhat an improvement? lol idk

[nightglider124]

There is still a dickkory smut request from 2020 (pls dont judge me omg) in my inbox and i know i’m technically on a hiatus with writing but honestly, i am itching to write one ngl.

I could even try writing it for live action Titans - i dont think i’ve actually ever written for Titans. I obvs have for 03 TT and DCAU but never Titans.

Hm, decisions decisions… 🤔

I've always thought A03 to be a platform where people receive a bit more interaction with their fics, with the interface and the relative anonymity of it all. I routinely hear from other writers how many more comments they receive on their fics on A03 than any other platform (Tumblr included).

So this begs the question -- what's wrong with my writing that none of my fics tend to receive that many comments? I know I tend to write for characters who receive a bit less traction than others in the same fandom,but even my writing for popular characters (i.e. Peter Parker) tends to just get clicked on and then swallowed by the void.

Is my writing "uncommentable?"

[self-ships-ahoy]

I wonder which f/o I can have my small town dream with. One who isn't so tied down to his job and willing to settle down with me in a quaint, down to earth lifestyle outside of big cities (or in medic's case, outside of binding contracts <_<). Maybe that's just something that will have to hold onto until I get married for real.

[thekingofmuses]

I think I would characterize K' as graysexual.

I AM THE GREATEST! I AM THE BEST WHEEL CHAMPION IN THIS GAME! I AM BETTER THAN BOTH THE SALAMI AND BOLOGNA COMBINED!

Okay, that explains how she knows about the Champion, lady invented Wheels. And I guess the rounds you win and take as literal physical prizes are all that is needed as proof that you are ready to face her.

...How does she still send things to the outside world? Maybe she literally builds her clockwork robots to do so. It would certainly explain that monstrosity you face in the Brisk arena.
