#SOMETHING I CAN SINK MY TEETH IN!!!!!!

I’m just like Victor digging up the courier's grave -> *is ransacking abandoned tumblrs to find Mr. House posts*

Does anyone know any really good Richonne fics? I don't mind whether the fic is canon divergent, set in-universe, or AU, as long as Rick and Michonne are written in character.

Just got done watching Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms and I am like....so normal right now. Haven't been crying for the last half hour or anything. No, I don't feel the intense need to call my mother and tell her I love her.

Anime is for children, it won't emotionally destroy you in the most beautiful way imaginable, that's just silly 🙃

Do any NieYao (or general 3zun) shippers follow me? I've been tossing around the idea of a nieyao fic but I'm getting tripped up by timeline shit because good lord JGY's life is a nightmare... is there anyone who wouldn't mind either:

a) chatting with me about timeline/canon stuff to help me get sorted

b) sending me recs of their favourite nieyao fics 👀 for, uh, strictly research related purposes for sure for sure

high chaos emily is so juicy, ESPECIALLY if corvo was low chaos in dishonored 1. high chaos corvo to high chaos emily—we can see a direct through line. emily draws a picture of corvo’s assassin mask. she makes the comment that if corvo didn’t kill all the usurpers, she would have had them killed. it’s generally a “worse” ending and we can easily see how high chaos emily came to be.

but LOW chaos corvo to high chaos emily? delicious to think about. emily isn’t following the example of her father. in fact, given everything we know about jessamine and the comment she makes when she’s released from the heart (something about how emily has become everything jessamine was against) emily isn’t following either of her parents’ examples.

this isn’t to say that high chaos emily doesn’t make sense in terms of the character or story. it does! emily is ten when her mother is killed in front of her, she gets kidnapped, rescued, only to get kidnapped again and held hostage. and then fifteen years later it’s happening again! her father is taken from her and her friend is killed and she’s been overthrown. she has not only a motive but the means (thanks to the outsider) to carve through everyone that gets in her way.

but. imagine what happens after the game. what happens when corvo, who executed an entirely bloodless campaign, wakes up and finds emily the vengeful? what happens when emily, whose mother’s last words were of disapproval, has to face her father?

Doing an inbox cleanup of old prompts that I was never able to get around to because I'd like to start fresh and remember how to write again, and that means finding an exciting spark with something new!! If you've sent me an askbox meme prompt before and I wasn't able to answer it, please always feel free to keep sending them because I really do try to get to as many as I can of varying ships 💞 I love all of them ;v;

[soaps-mohawk]

Ooohoh or like a skull and mouth full of teeth with blood dripping from it in reference to a certain circumstance that took place. *wink wonk*

Ooh I like this idea too!! It's definitely going to be a regular reference lmao they cannot be stopped 😂

[thypickles]

I am being entirely normal about this show rn. We don't need to talk about the ripped up pillows in my room. Totally unrelated.

Bucktommy fic that acknowledges and includes Buck’s relationship with Eddie my beloved 🥹

[lemony-snickers]

dear body: when I complained about being So Very Tired for no reason, what I meant was that I wanted to wake feeling rested after a long night’s sleep, not that I wanted you to wake me up at 2:30 am and keep me awake.

[svtskneecaps]

thank you for bearing with my purgatory posting and i'm also glad to see i'm not the only one who still has this fungus eating away at my brain matter. seeing other purgatory posting in the tag makes me feel better lmfao.

i'm not done btw, posting will (probably) continue as i revisit vods. wanted to extend a thanks in the interim, since i know how contentious the event was in the moment. i kinda thought the general consensus was most people hated thinking about it, but there's been a weird amount of engagement and yknow other people talking. makes me happy to know i'm not alone here!

[rosielav]

Desperately need to find another currently ongoing podcast to listen to. I have nothing in my feed that releases new episodes except for MBMBAM and that's not nearly as exciting as I'd like it to be haha

PLEASE REC ME YOUR FAVORITE PODCASTS, PREFERABLY ONES STILL ONGOING OR WITH LOTS OF EPISODES!!!

Blease 😭😭😭😭

anonymity is overrated: i want to study both your kaito and shinichi like a bug (tm), under a microscope. not only is your characterization so lush and full but it creates such an interesting and affecting narrative of well, uh trauma (tm), but also struggle and determination and hope. there's always a depth with the emotions you portray that can be peeled back layer by layer, to be thought about individually and as a whole, and it's always so easy to have runaway thoughts when I see your writing because what you give is such a stimulating narrative to chew on.

anonymously send me your favourite detail about how I play my character.

and what if i cried ro. what then.

[mithridacy]

can any of you currently in school or who keep up w this stuff give me a link to a good academic article you enjoyed reading recently. any subject. the more obscure the better

Idk much about wires and shit so I can't talk about that, but maybe they're using underground cables instead of overhead cables to avoid sabotage? Idk if that's lore that's been scrapped with the Beastclan rewrite, but I seem to remember that that was a thing. At the very least, other elements may try to damage Lightning infrastructure as part of dominance warring, which would be more difficult to do if the cables are hidden underground. Maybe. Idk. That's my first assumption, at least, but who knows.

sure - there are plenty of potential reasons they might use underground cables in some parts of the region! defense against sabotage is one. more off the top of my head: maybe there's other important infrastructure underground that the cables are needed to supply (like Sandsurge lairs, leyline monitors, seismic detectors, or an underground transit system). maybe it's because out in the Barrens, overhead wiring would disrupt the formation of the thunderstorms rolling in towards the spire. maybe the air itself is too charged in some parts of the Expanse, and overhead cables randomly discharge themselves too often for them to be a practical solution. maybe some areas are prone to extreme weather (storms, hurricanes) that could easily damage or destroy overhead cable lines, and so on and so on.

i guess where i'm coming from is that, for me, any of those would be a great jumping-off point for more lore! like, let's run with your suggestion, maybe near the borders of Lightning territory there are frequent attempts to disrupt the infrastructure from rival flights. how does that affect the clans that live there? do lairs out in the Highland Scrub frequently have to build their own energy generators, because they can't rely on the supplies from the Spire? are those places fundamentally just lower-tech than elsewhere (and if so, how does that affect the regional culture between there and the heartland)? do Earth mercenaries fetch a premium because they can seek out and disrupt the buried cables?

my favourite kinds of fictional worlds are the ones that declare something to be true, and then build out the consequences. it's like a domino effect! if X is true about your fantasy world, what does that imply for Y and Z? i'm not saying FR has bad lore or worldbuilding at all, i just wanna see it built on in a little more detail! i'm aggressively gesturing and yes-anding every time we get a new story drop because yes, okay, now where's the rest of it

i think a lot about how i know what i want with my life but i cant have it yet and that is such a hard thing to realize
