CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

[hezuart]

Sorry to disturb you but

I still find hilarious that your LN au got an person so butthurt that they're still ranting about it even till this day

The audacity of you to not include THEIR favorite characters on YOUR OWN AU, completely unforgivable.

Jokes aside, take care and keep up your awesome works!

YEAH,,,,,,, yeah,,,,,,,, I'm - it's a big wow for sur,e ...

Something that bugs me is that, they were complaining that the fandom, outside of drawing Mono and Six, only ever draws Mono and Seven and like.... WHERE!!!SHOW ME!!! that's the entire point I made the comic! There was no art of Seven and Mono!!! They're characters who never meet, so no one ever really drew them together back then, at least, not so thoroughly to explore a dynamic with them. Granted Five / Raincoat girl isn't given the same treatment, but that's because she's from the inferior mobile game! And you couldn't get a read on her personality because there was a lack of cutscenes for her!

They're complaining about a fandom making content that isn't catered towards them, and that's just ridiculous!

Anyway, thank you!!! Almost done lining the backgrounds for the next part of the AU.

Sorry if I'm spouting stuff unwanted in your ask box. But I had a deep brain thinky moment and I thought "at least with reader inserts we admit we're inserting ourselves into the story". A lot of "shippers" seem to ship because they've projected onto a certain character, and they themselves want to be with another character (who often gets watered down to a very attractive slab of meat with little to no will and/or personality of their own). So of course, prime example is Jon with his choose your own poison girlboss, but I've seen it in some other areas. Of course there are some genuine attempts at investigating chemistry between characters out there, but it's often the most viciously toxic ships/shipping communities that I notice this sort of self insertion. Of course I could be assuming things and/or judgemental but it's just a theory I built up after years of observing.

No, you are right on the money. (Rest under a read more because gods be good have my opinions on shipping and shippers in fandom gotten me some anon hate before)

It's why certain shippers tend to be very aggressive in their defences, because they have seen so much of themselves in a character they feel like you are judging them for a real relationship they are in. Refusing to see character flaws as a fundemantal aspect of who that person is, beacuse they don't want to relate to someone like that, so they invent a vision of this person that they have to defend beacuse they won't admit they related to a bad person.

It's a slippery slope to project so heavily onto a character in a ship you like. Beacuse you end up refusing to see them as dynamic people who are more complicated then their relationship and that relationship ends updefining them as a character. Example, I ship Brienne and Jaime but I also don't look at either of them as someone I relate to on a personal level. I'm also fascinated with both of their separate stories and greatly and think those separate journeys are what makes their intertwining moments so intriguing. But if I were projecting myself onto Brienne, then I would end up acting as if she was always perfect and her entire story revolves around a starry eyed Jaime who only lives for that relationship now.

Jon has such a bad treatment by his shippers, beacuse so often he winds up being that slab of meat for the other party. I know some people have joked "well about time its a mans turn" but the point is no one should be given the arm candy treatment by fans. Man or woman. Jon is such a footnote in Jonerys dialouge beacuse ultimetly he serves her at her beck and call with little agency. Because Dany is the one they see themselves as and thus molding Jon into their perfect partner means serving the worst aspects of a girlboss character, meaning stripping the complex agency of their romantic male interests. Same with Ygritte, people see her aggresiveness and sass and think oh my god shes me, and totally ignore the actual text on the page/proof on screen that Jon's time with her isn't happy or romantic. But they want to see themeslves in Ygritte's spitfire personality so badly that they refuse to see Jon as anything but a willing puppet for her enjoyment, beacuse they want the advantage of being her and having him.

Honestly most Jon ships have this problem, and it's partially why I don't ship him with anyone, and i actually ship very few characters with anyone. My time in the Pedro fandom I was infamous for disliking popular ships and a lot of it then too was seeing people projecting onto the female to a point where their interpretation of the character was just not what was on screen.

Casually shipping is fine, again I love a good analysis post about Jaime and Brienne, but like you said. At least with reader inserts, I'm telling you it's you. I'm telling you it's me. You know the reader acts that way beacuse it's who they are and it's not forcing them to be something their not just to force that character to be relatable to you in particular.

Jonsa, Jonerys, Jonrya and Jongritte suffer from this problem greatly, and during my time in the pedro fandom Mando and Omera, and Joel and Tess also were major sufferers of this problem. The male becomes meat for the superior female character beacuse you want it to be you and it being you forces you to turn this person into someone they aren't and this it strips the other party of their agency.

The males now only exist to be relatable arm candy, as opposed to reader inserts which do the work to find a way to make the reader fit into the existing world around them organically.

At least I'm being honest. I write Jon Snow x Reader fics cus I want to fuck Jon Snow, I'm not pretending like I just really like Dany and thats why I ship it. No, they're a terrible couple, but at least I'm honest about my self shipping. I don't have to lie about my intentions.

whats your favourite less popular Meat. ans how do you prepare it (i consider u the resident meat expert on tumblr)

It's an honor

(I tend to slow cook basically anything I'm not planning on eating rare bc I like tender wet meat so there's a heavy slow cook bias here.)

My fave 'less popular meat' in the US at least (not so much the rest of the world) is goat, I prefer it over lamb by a long shot. I'll usually slow cook it in a stew with garlic+onions and heavily spice it (exactly how really depends but I use cumin in everything so that's a guarantee.)

Otherwise I really like dark game meat in general- venison, pheasant, etc. I also like it cooked slowly and allowed to get fork-tender and I really like doing a sweet-savory thing with them via a fruit based sauce and/or glaze. Wild berries if I have them (tends to be raspberries or currants in my case). I'll make the sauce with a base of berries + red wine + rosemary/thyme. The other options depend on what exact kind of sauce you're going for but you'll want something bitter/acidic to balance it out, like dijon or balsamic vinegar or something. Garlic and/or ginger is usually good. A chutney is always good too. And I prefer everything I eat to be at least mildly spicy so I'll usually include jalepeños or habenero in it.

Not AT ALL an unpopular meat but an unpopular ingredient- salmon heads make the absolute BEST fish broth imo. It is basically impossible to fuck up (unless you forget to remove the gills). For salmon broth I usually make a standard stock (using garlic onions carrots celery, all roasted together with the salmon head), let it cook for 4-5 hours. For the broth I add soy sauce, coconut milk, more garlic, green onions and/or leeks, ginger, mala, cumin, coriander, lemongrass, lime leaves if I have them, usually chili oil... Etc. Take or leave some of those ingredients but I usually end up tossing them all in to taste.

Also chicken feet I fucking love chicken feet but have yet to cook my own in a way I'm satisfied with enough to give ANY advice on lol. Just try it at a good Sichuan restaurant. (If you're someone who likes eating the skin and gnawing connective tissue off bones you will probably like chicken feet. If not you probably won't)

Last Line Challenge

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

thanks for the tag, @mwolf0epsilon! finding the last thing I wrote was the hard part because it's been like a week and a couple days ago I went on a rereading spree trying to inspire myself, which means a lot of random fics said they'd been opened recently but had nothing new in them. anyway.

(the one I ended up with is about 3-5 layers of au - it's Shiny/Ven the kid who Dogma adopts in my fic series, but as an adult having time travelled to swtor, but also THIS isn't even my canon for that it's an au where she's kind of forced into becoming a Sith??? why don't you work on anything that people have context for and want to see completed, I ask myself every day) Preamble over here's some lines!

She sounded so much like Ven’s father it hurt. Ven thought about the things she’d done, long before the Sith got their hands on her, and turned her face away. It was a good thing Nalyan and Dorne had each other. They were both too good for her.

noooo idea who I know who's been doing stuff recently and also dear god if i took this game literally that's a lot of people but. @what-point-is-there hiii i know you've been doing art can I convince you to share a wip (no pressure i'm being silly) and for anyone else who wants to share a wip do it! I will vouch for you and say i personally tagged you. with like my mind or something i don't know.

sometimes i think about how hard the cooking animations go in monhun. like when you do the pre hunt meal skill gambling. i feel like as the games went on they got more detailed. really wish we got to see them vary more based on what you ordered like with how dos did it. you could make your own pizza in 2 i’m sad you can’t in recent games :(

though the budget being put into improving the most satisfying post cooking eating animation is justified. first it was cartoon gobbling now actual food porn. i wish food was real.

Found your Bread Martin Drawing and proceeded to have so many thoughts about this fucker of a man

i think because of his backwoods podunk upbringing martin is a GREAT cook, but it's only "low class" peasant food, i.e. dirt cheap and very hearty but not at all suitable for the emperor to eat, let alone cook by himself. he gets VERY depressed not being able to have comfort food around the palace even though the royal menu is strictly speaking "better" food so sometimes he takes little vacations to suzy's house in cheydinhal (because lucien's house sucks) and he and lucien and suzy have a big peasant-food cookout!!

“Everyone Loved you … except for them” (1/3)

Let’s take it back to the night before, as our shining star Rapunzel takes the stage for what will be her last performance as a select few wait in the wings - Tangled/Transistor AU

[mawsilent]

Uzi rushing over to her boyfriend to give him a kiss and a soft kiss. "Gotcha~"

Oh, biscuits! His back had been turned when Uzi initially charged up to him; the sound of her rapid footsteps alerts him to the approach, but he doesn't fully turn around in time, being thrown temporarily off-balance from the impact of his lover practically jumping him.

❝ Awhaha! Y-you sure did!! Hi, Uzi!! ❞

Her kisses are reciprocated with the softest of affections given in return; gentle kisses press to synthetic skin in multiple little pecks before trailing to her lips- where he presses a much deeper, more passionate ( albeit brief ) kiss. Clawed hands tenderly grasp his beloved's thighs before hoisting her up so he could properly hold her, face nuzzling against hers affectionately.

❝ How have you been? ❞

[incendiorum-arch]

also! question for the dash: what's your muse's favorite meal? :o

TW about uh hunting? Or eating wild animals

I just ate a house sparrow and ngl if a chef had prepared it it would have been easier to eat. Fixing it myself was like, fine, it tasted good like duck and chicken meat and the seasoning was good. Worrying if I cooked it properly was the biggest hurdle though. Theres, unsurprisingly, not a lot of recipes for sparrow to rely on (ie like one or two and one of them is from the 1700s).
