#PLEASE don't do that

[bri-does-art]

Hey, friends.

I know I haven't updated Call of the Abyss in months. I am very well aware. I am the one who's most sorry about it.

But I do not need comments and asks calling my fic abandoned and mourning it in front of me, when I haven't declared it such. I already feel bad enough about how slow writing this chapter has been. I haven't really mentioned before, but I am incredibly self-conscious and insecure about how slow of a writer I am. I honestly get so upset and discouraged when compared to other writers who update regularly. I feel like I am doing something wrong for being unable to "produce" as much as them, and I grow depressed and it takes all the fun out of it. And to have people bemoaning to me how my fic is abandoned and won't ever be updated again does. not. help.

I know some fic writers out there have monthly, weekly, hell, even daily update schedules. I didn't give CotA an update schedule for a reason. I do not need to justify myself to anyone, but I am an adult with limited time and stamina who's working a full time job and struggling to juggle it all. I just went through one hell of a move, upending my entire world for a period of over 8 months and leaving my home of thirty-so years behind. I caught COVID 6 months ago and I am STILL recovering. And to top it all, I am now dealing with a repetitive stress injury from said full time work, a wrist tendonitis that is making it impossible for me to draw, a pain in the ass to write, and even impossible to just play video games. I am going crazy here. And yet through it all I have still been chipping away at the next chapter whenever I could.

Please do not dismiss my efforts like that just because I haven't been as active, guys, come on. I am doing my best.

I've said this before but IDK how many folks have seen it - but on my posts, if you are inspired by a thing I have specifically written ( something from me that isn't just a general common trope, like omegaverse or something) I would appreciate being asked if you're going to write a story based on it.

And please do not tag another author on my posts asking them to write it.

i forgot that tilly was asked to be the first officer of discovery in the third season. and, I think how mind-blowing that is. i like discovery a lot but sometimes the writers make truly mind-boggling choices.

i forgot that tilly was just a cadet in s1 and then an ensign.

making her an (acting) first officer, while still an ensign, was a bizarre choice. (harry kim is crying somewhere)

especially since nilsson and rhys take control of the bridge when the command team is out.

unfortunately, the way discovery is configured we don't really know most of the bridge crew.

or, maybe it would have been better if a new character was introduced as their 32nd-century guide and as a temporary XO.

but also, who is the senior staff of discovery? do we know?

i assumed that culber was CMO all this time only to find out from interviews he wasn't the CMO.

stamets can't be the chief engineer since he's science division and he mans the spore drive function and not the whole ship. i assume its jett reno.

who was the head of security when nhan left? is it rhys??? why is booker (who I really like) memory alpha listed the head of security of discovery (season 4)??? he's not starfleet.

i just realized the whole problem why they got tilly as acting first officer is because I don't think any of the writers in seasons 2 to 3 of discovery sat down and solidified the hierarchy on the ship other than captain.

it's so nebulous and it doesn't need to be nebulous.

it's like how inconsistent the ranks are on SNW uniforms.

i know these are nitpicks but these are details that help build out the world. and it's such an easy thing to address too, it's frustrating they don't.

and this is on the discovery writers for not taking the time to iron it out. i understand they want to focus on different people and keep the heroics away from the bridge, other than saru and michael. but that doesn't excuse how lazily they went about it.

anyway this is just a bug bear that I stumbled on when I remembered how tilly was made into acting first officer of discovery. it didn't niggle at me back then but somehow rewatching voyager and a lot of other trek made me realize, I can actually pinpoint the line of command on each show but stumble on it when it comes to discovery seasons 3 and 4.

again, i think this is why season 5 is doing a great job. wilson cruz said that by season 5 he might as well be the CMO, so I'm taking that as canon.

this is what happens when every season and episode is just one story of crisis situations without any standalone downtime episodes.

(this is also a problem for picard s3. it's the single story and 10 episode thing. it ties the hands of writers.)

what i wouldn't give for a discovery episode where the ship is just doing routine maintenance. follow an engineering team down a jeffries tube, watch them have a boring senior staff meeting where all department heads report to michael.

(wait, have we seen discovery do a senior staff meeting scene?)

have rayner sit down and manage personnel.

honestly, i think the trek that does the best in doing personnel, handling extras, and making a realized world is still ds9.

thoughts on this post?

my brain is broken trying to comprehend it honestly but first off, i think this person is copied a post from an anti-c//a blog and just replacing catra with glimmer.

and secondly, i love how this blog is called "anti glimmadora receipts" and yet there are very few, if any, actual receipts.

I'll make an exception and actually reveal the URL we're talking about here, because I'm very familiar with the blog you're showing me. Still, do not harass the person in the link.

No, yeah, that's literally it. The OP basically copypasted an actual post from @/anti-catradora-receipts and replaced Catra with Glimmer. Which doesn't even make sense since Glimmer never abused Adora. Like, the post says that, for instance, Glimmer kidnapped Adora. LMAO when??????

This is possibly the pettiest act I've seen from a C//A stan. It feels like they were mocking @/anti-catradora-receipts for making deep analyses that detail the issues with C//A. The latter was one of the first anti C//A blogs I found on Tumblr, and they helped me change my mind, as I'm sure they helped many others, too. But no, someone couldn't accept that and decided to make fun of people who were rightfully calling out C//A.

I'm actually surprised that stupid "A/nti Glimmadora" blog is still going. They're not even trying to prove why Glimmadora is supposedly bad, they just love picking fights with a/ntis and call the shippers lesbophobes and whatnot. They truly have nothing to do with their life, lmao.

I SAID THE SAME 🤭

AHH TWINSIES

@the-king-of-all-crows shame on you. For shame.

[allgoodthingsflowintothecity]

remember, folks:

if someone's hand gets chopped off and blood starts spurting from the stump, that's gore

if someone's hand gets chopped off and seven more hands immediately grow out of the stump like the mythical hydra, that's body horror

if someone's hand gets chopped off so they go get medical treatment and now they're just living their life sans hand, or perhaps with a prosthetic, then that's just a disabled person and shouldn't be tagged as gore or body horror

Alright, Closing my inbox now once again. I have left it open for people to ask questions about my AU; USB!Kinito, because I do know a lot of people will have AU questions, outside of the story But it seems like some people want to invade my personal boundaries in my askbox, so, I am going to restate my boundaries again.

This also applies to Asks, as well. Don't you think that, just because I am okay with NSFW content, that it automatically means, I want it to be shoved in my face, in my own inbox. Especially on this blog. This blog is PG. any ask you send, that is highly sexual, will be removed. like the ones I have been sent previously. Unless you are really wanting me to respond to something, like a question regarding my AU, or my art. please DM me it, if we follow each other. If not, you will be blocked. I can't believe I have to actually make a post like this, but I am not drawing porn ya'll. nor can I even draw nude bodies to begin with. Please respect people's boundaries, ya'll. thank you.

I refuse to believe the leak, there are just too many factors

It could be fake, it could be out of context, it could be a collective hallucination

I was also almost sleeping when I saw it, to the point I thought it was all a dream when I woke up

So yeah, I don't trust anyone or anything, I'll only believe when I see it with my own eyes

Then, if it is real, I'll still in a way be surprised

[illiana-mystery]

I love this character way more than I should. It's so bad. I got it so bad for him.

[somnolent-scout]

Thank you guys so much for the help and for getting the word out there. I'm a little overwhelmed by the sudden attention, but I genuinely appreciate it.

I'm safe and stable in my house right now. I'm getting better. I promise I'm not going to let this rejection email take my life.

And please do not go around sharing my personal information, I'm already stressed out enough.

I’m with Saphira on this, Eragon.

“Is it not the most perfect and lovely flower?” asked Arya.

Eragon gazed at her, exquisitely aware of how close they were, and said, “Yes ... it is.” Before his courage deserted him, he added, “As are you.”

Eragon! exclaimed Saphira.

And it didn’t land the way he wanted, either! If this was a dating app, you’d be ignored.
