Telling people i’m too shy to start talking to people and dating only for them to tell me to just meet people online like bestie i’m shy online too😭😭

Hot take of the day is that I think sanderson not letting adolin murdering sadeas have any real consequences killed like 95% of interesting debate on the morality of it

[fictionadventurer]

I would like to publicly debate Mr. Andrew Peterson about his stance on endings please and thank you.

Woo I'm back for like a few seconds! Inktober art be upon ye (technically a bit early but I'm doing it well out of order):

23 - Rust

Moonlight reveals he has shifted in his trance, but rivulets of drying blood remain. They trail down his neck to mar the mirror sheen of his scales, as though silver could rust…

It's literally free not to make Astarion-powered bad decisions, but my sweet Tav, Lúth, persists 😌. He's brave like that 😌. Probably more Inktober pieces to come later! Just have to finish the lighting & background on a Wrath comic, will see how possessed by the art drive I remain afterwards.

Would puppets also be overcome by the urge to Crunch? Can ergo be crunched? Can P use ergo by eating it? Imagine meeting this random person with a metall arm and he starts chomping glowing rocks.

Hope this reaches the right audience but to the people in the very small overlap in the Venn diagram of “people who are invested in the story of fe heroes” and “people who have listened to epic: the musical”, how horrible of an idea do you think it’d be to make Lif listen to the underworld saga?

give me violence pls and ty; 6, 7, 19 & 20

questions here ty for the ask I love people immediately came into my inbox to ask me to complain about canon y'all know me so well

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

I'm not really annoyed by any particular ship, more so people who complain about other shippers not doing it right- and specifically if they put it in the character tags.

also anyone who has gone through silverv tags and forced me to add a nonbinary tag to my stuff because they a) assume that she/her pronouns mean a woman and b) are apparently obliged by their tagging system to distinguish between female and male v. c'mon man. it's only happened twice but that was enough.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

idk about *hate* exactly but Rogue, I guess? she so often seems to be either a mommy character to people's v's or people talk about how tragic she is for liking johnny, which I don't understand. she doesn't seem to be very nurturing and it's pretty clear she's got a soft spot for johnny but given she's lived to be 90 doing merc work I think she can take care of and make decisions for herself that are "bad" without being pitied for it? it's not like johnny is manipulating her. he asks and she says yes even though she's dumped him to the curb and could easily walk away or refuse. anyway I don't hate rogue, I just don't see a lot of her, and the characterization I do see I'm lukewarm on.

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

I had the usual cyberpunk experience of wanting to stick Johnny's head in the toilet and then he grew on me, so now every time I see him I still want to physically fight him but like in an affectionate way. So embarrassing.

Also: Smasher?? Like he still terrifies me, but what a character! He's a brain in a tin can and all he wants to do is perform violence, and unlike most of the other lore in game (cyberware will make you crazy!!) he's been Like That since he was 100% organic. There's just something wrong with him that makes him immune to bodily concerns and Arasaka keeps him like a literal attack dog they can use to scare people. He has such a clarity of purpose. He has a body that looks like Elvis. He used to talk in a southern accent. I think he should live forever.

20. part of canon you found tedious or boring

there are lots of AIs that are all FERAL and EVIL in the cage and they're going to come get you. now hold on while we act out the TCP handshake in 3D with visuals that make your eyes hurt that apparently people are working in all day because abstractions make tech COOL and ENGAGING. we have the tech to mess with people's memories and upload their souls but these AIs are ALL POWERFUL and in fifty years we haven't found the servers they're squatting on. the only one you can make contact with used to be HUMAN but all the rest are definitely BAD and MAD and INSANE. also they can insta-kill people or possess killer robots. this fits perfectly in the cyberpunk theme of um uh. technology has gone too far? people are at their fucking limit?

I forget exactly what scifi writer talked about it and it's impossible to google "AI anxiety" in tyool 2024 and get anything but people concerned ChatGPT is sentient, but there's this idea that the scifi story anxiety about AI rebellions or robots killing all humans is basically repackaged anxiety that people who have been stepped on or used or enslaved are going to suddenly fight back and kill everyone is not a new one. It's just "ah the oppressed are dangerous because some day they will want revenge". These AIs are super smart and powerful but they're not going to have the sentience to recognize allies? They just kill indiscriminately? They're no better than monsters? Alright. Maybe the sequel will surprise me and get into some nuance but I'm distrustful by nature.

DAMNNN, they kinda popped off on step by step! would be a fair point to make if it wasn't itself a bl show profiting off lgbtq+ relationships but oh well 🤭

I have been trying for days to find a topic for the "paper" I need to turn in for this Philosophy of History course on Friday, and I got nothing.

I so intensely dislike this subject you cannot imagine.

Do you think Ronan in dunmeshi would let Laios eat his dreams?

fascinating question . i'm leaning toward no just because ronan is REALLY hostile to new people & unless he makes some kind of matthew/laios connection in his head it's just going to be henry 2.0. there's just a lot of questions here about their interpersonal relationship & my kneejerk reaction is a pretty firm no

however. if we're in a dunmesh situation with trc characters, my answers go

gansey: yes. he'd be a bitch about it but would let him adam: yes, but adam wouldnt hennessey: begs her to blue: also bitchy but lets her henry: says no but his ears get really red and youre like hold on is eating dreams pseudosexual or what declan: declan just eats them without asking and then has a 5 page spread about being so tortured by eating dreams (geto jjk style) matthew: 100% . it's literally not even a big deal

[bcneheaded]

aNYWAY HI the thing that will forever be my favourite thing about artemis (hyperbole but ykyk) is when someone he doesn't expect to try talking philosophically with him/randomly tries to talk Feelings or In Depth like, on a personal level with him and he just.... looks at them and blinks.... and has to deeply resist the urge not to scoff or sigh out a quiet exclamation of exasperation. like NO richard, fuck OFF I'm TRYING to brood in PEACE and you could have been a part of that but then you had to go and disturb my silence

[tamaharu]

to meee :3 akechi and sumire arent exactly friends throughout january, (they only get really close several years later) but as a side effect of neither having anything better to do and the two constantly haunting kichijoji i think they inevitably fall together more often than not. ren takes sumire out for darts and shes weirdly better than she was last time (sidebar but the fact that sumire and akechi both mimic your throws but sumire sucks shit at darts too much for it to do any good is so cute) and shes like oh yeah akechi-san has been teaching me. oh wow i got a forty! unaware of the way she just blew rens mind.
