So, before we return to my regularly scheduled… whatever this is, I just want to say something.
People who are contributing to Fandom are people, and need to be treated as such.
I’ve seen two fanfic writers I really admire wrap up their current fics and say they’re stepping away from the fandom completely after the harassment they’ve received. They’re just 100% out.
Writers, artists, bloggers, we’re all people.
Don’t like what a writer is writing? Don’t interact.
Don’t like what an artist is drawing? Don’t interact.
Don’t like what the blogger is blogging? Don’t interact.
The faceless usernames are people. They are creating for fun, for love of the show, for love of others in this community.
Interact with the things you like! Reblog things, share them, comment on fics! I hesitate to call us “creators” because that bring up thoughts of like, social media “Content Creators,” which is very different from creating for fandom. But for lack of better term, we’ll use it.
Creators are people. Be kind, rewind interact, and above all, be nice.

Joe: It's got elements of classical Greek architecture. As well as elements of not being on the ground, which are distinctly more modern.

Do you think An's mourning went too quick?
if we consider the amount of time between lutf and oyf (a few days), then maybe. first off, you gotta consider genre and storytelling here. vbs is very shounen-like, not that i really know anything about manga but they're basically always working towards the goal, most conflicts are resolved within the event, maybe with some things lingering afterwards but the main conflict (for lutf it was obviously the truth around nagi's death) is always mostly/completely resolved.
also in terms of event pacing, the next event had to be their arc ender (both lutf and oyf are very clearly rushed but the 2nd arc enders are an issue with like 2 other units as well so this is not a vbs exclusive problem). they didn't have the time to stretch out an's grief to more events, plus there was already the in-universe issue of taiga leaving for the US like 3 days after lutf. and yes, an did have let's study hard, but that was always going to be 1-A focused since they didn't have an event yet and needed it before there was no more 1-A.
however, there are multiple card stories and area conversations that show an grieving, and we get to see this in events like break down the wall and the ending of over rad squad to some degree. obviously less intense since time has passed, but there's still an obvious impression that she's mourning nagi. also this.
and as i said earlier, maybe. people grieve differently and for different amounts of time. people will also show it differently. a few days is a bit quick, but again you can put that down to the storytelling. in this kind of game that needs to tell its story quickly you don't have that kind of time. for the type of person an is and the age she is at, i think it was handled quite realistically. i do think it was rushed, but i don't think An would spend a very long time in a state of mourning. also lutf plays with the idea that she kind of already knew. she didn't know nagi was actually dead so she couldn't experience it fully, but there was always that slight sense of anger and denial at nagi having left without saying goodbye and never once talking to her for years. she was already grieving nagi, she just never once seriously thought about the situation.
#asks#mod talks#i won't go into detail bc it did not directly affect me but i was once involved in a similar situation to the whole thing with nagi#in other words i have seen what happened to an happen to someone irl firsthand#trying to factor in the differences between the two is hard but the main takeaway is that prsk is a work of fiction#and while they pride themselves on the depiction of realistic issues at the end of the day it is fiction and it is a story that#needs to be told continuously but also quickly. you can not expect what would cover several episodes of a tv show from this game#something like this would span maybe 2-3 episodes of a standard 22 episode season but we only get 4-ish vbs events every year of the game#if an's grief took up 3 events especially if it was only an banners people would get bored. that's a long time and people aren't waiting.#this game is 4 years old and going strong but who's to say it still will be in 3 more years. the devs aren't planning thoroughly for#much more than a year ahead because it's uncertain how much time they have. they need to tell this story quickly lest they wait too long#and lose their chance

I see the "only the winners remember the previous games" and I raise you my own personal theory
The longer the players are in the same, the more they remember.
So yes, the winners do remember the most, but others can remember.
Scar and Grian have the most vivid memory of third life, which later influences how they both act in double life.
Pearl and Scott both remember the most as they died at the same time.
Jimmy does not remember the games. Or not in any of his memories. Sure, he had a headache for a few days after (where he would have gotten shot), felt closer to Scott, and he grew fonder of poppies. He's heard about what happened from others. But he doesn't have any memories. Because he died first every. single. time.
Until secret life.
And finally.
He has some memories of it.
Again, they're not great. He died second. But he can remember something.
He's escatic. This is his chance not to feel like an outsider when they talk about the games.
(and if Lizzie was clumsy and allowed herself to fall because Jimmy had confided in her that he felt inferior because he couldn't remember? ...nobody needs to know.)

i don't believe that dante's inferno is fanfiction but i do believe that saying dante's inferno is fanfiction is a great way to find out whether or not the person you're talking to is completely insufferable
#mod felix#i subscribe to the 'the designation of fanfiction relies on the modern-day legal concept of copyright' school of thought#but like. i'm just thinking about like.#how people will use that example to like. dismiss any conversation about fanfiction as it relates to 'classic literature'#and it's like. well i think it's more interesting to talk about how fanfiction and fan culture is similar to/different#from literature and literary culture from the past?#literary culture isn't the right word but 🤷#anyway. some people are really contemptuous of fanfiction and they're missing out on some interesting lines of inquiry.

So uh.
Sorry if the person who this is talking about wants it taken down. But I feel this is extremely important.
I will be very unprofessional because this is pissing me off.
THE PERSON WHO HAD THAT HEADCANON WAS IN A BAD MENTAL STATE. I will not be stating anything in detail as that would be breaking my word but the person who had that headcanon was in an awful place and was coping.
The anon was not fucking lying. Why not try looking for shit instead of believing everything negative that was sent to you for once.
Also you had no right to be that condescending.
(I did not send the ask. This just pisses me the fuck off.)
#q is dead#from the bitty jar#analyzing allegations#Genuine apologies to Alex and the rest of the Big Blogs if this is breaking my word#but I will not take this down because this is very important. I am not trying to start shit with y’all again.#But I do NOT appreciate what the mod of AVTV is doing here

MiqoMarch Day 23 - Midnight
With their intended voyage into the void only a few days out, Arsay thought it the upmost importance that she steal her partner away to Kugane, that they might share one more fond memory together should things not turn out the way they plan in the thirteenth. It was as they crossed the very same bridge the miqo'te had once sat on together two years prior when Arsay gifted Y'shtola with a bracelet matching that of her own. A token of endearment which, Arsay confessed, she would have given to her fellow scion back then, had nerves not gotten the best of her. While their relationship has undoubtedly changed since the initial purchase of the jewellery, the sentiment remained the same. Y'shtola was someone who Arsay loved dearly and she will forever be grateful to have the seeker's life intertwined with her own. No matter where their free spirits took them, they would always hold each other in their hearts. A promise Y'shtola was more than willing to keep. She slipped the the string of beads around her wrist without a second thought. They were never to come off, not even when the two decided to delay their return to Radz-at-Han in favour of a private bath at the dead of night.
#miqomarch#miqomarch 2024#ffxiv#y'shtola rhul#y'shtola x wol#wolshtola#arsay nun lore#arshtola#thanks to nhaneh for the body mod#i had to do some insane fov to get the moon and them in the same shot so sorry for the distortion#forcing arshtola lore into this prompt since idk when Ill ever get around to gposing the actual scene#this is between 6.1 and 6.2!#endwalker patch spoilers#i had the idea that arsay bought the Dai-ryumyaku bracelets from a vendor between 4.3 n 4.4 when shtola is off to the doman enclave#and arsay is like hey wait you should let me show you around kugane on the way over!#a fun friend date that ends with shtola finally accepting she has a crush on arsay and its terminal#and arsay having a single moment where she starts reflecting on feelings & thinks maybe she missed hanging out w/shtola more than she shoul#only to quickly butt that idea out of her head and continue being super normal#arsay notices these matching bracelets with red and purple string and shes like oh they are so cute and they look like#they belong in a pair it would be so sad if they were ever split up unexpectedly#i know ill buy them and give one to shtola wouldnt that be fun!#so she does that and then cant bring herself to give yshtola the damn thing because she starts second guessing herself#so arsay stashes the bracelets away and she started wearing hers later under her glove#fast forward to two years later and arsay finds the other one in one of her bags#and now shes dating yshtola and they are about to go somewhere super dangerous#what better time to tell your gf how much they have always meant to you#and what better way to do it than with a gift and some words spoken from the heart?#it was a little unconventional since arsay didnt really have marriage on the mind but it was a proposal in a sense#WOL posting#Arsay Nun

Aro-culture is trying to understand why society created the most ridiculous rituals and signs for romance and not finding a single answer/or that makes sense.
(No seriously, all the explanations I find are dumb. Send help)
.
#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod axel#honestly all i got for u is that romance is a socially described category of emotion#and social categories are notoriously full of all sorts of cultural biases and assumptions and history that got lost to common knowledge#not to mention the human tendencies to create lil rituals that sometimes become big (ie knock on wood / slug bug)#so u end up with like. 'yeah u gotta not directly tell ppl that ur in romo with them immediately because...'#culturally it signals like. moving too fast or it's seen as embarrassing or you gotta do xyz things first#my sister advised me as a teen that in her experience and opinion - delivered like the words of a sage - if someone is bad at kissing#then they are bad at sex#(me [a kissing repulsed aro person who enjoys sex]: uhhh)#and honestly like. especially when viewed from the outside those things are fuckin wild#like... my mom came from a tiny backwoods type of place in [redacted]#and when i moved to [redacted] and one of the biggest cities in my state (though tbh not that big actually lol)#it caused all sorts of fun. she thinks it's exceptionally rude that not every single person on the street smiles and says hi#if there's not a crowd#she also gets really upset that service workers are less likely to make small talk#and both of those come from City Etiquette being more about like... not taking up ppl's time and attention and that being respectful#like smiling and saying hi to every stranger on the street is... honestly gonna be seen as a Huge Danger thing#and service workers do not have the *time* at most locations to chat with you - especially if it's busy - and it's seen as disrespectful to#both the workers and the people in line behind you to insist on it#but from her POV with Country Etiquette#this is equivalent to like. getting slapped in the face and told that you are specifically mad at her#and she gets legit anxious about it in a very 'this means i fucked up' way

heard some people say jonny is cononicaly omni? do you know where this is from?
This is from a twitch clip from Jonny’s streams! I don’t have the link at the moment, but someone asked him quite a while ago about the joke/discourse (brief pause as I am overcome with the specters of discourse past) regarding Jonny d’Ville being homophobic, based on the line in one of the fictions where he asks if Nastya is having one of her “queer orgies.”
Jonny said that he didn’t write that story, so he can’t say for sure what was intended with the line in question, but that d’Ville is, in his mind, omnisexual, and not homophobic. This makes it word-of-god canon, which of course depending on your approach to the text (the text in this case being the albums, fictions, social media posts, and other in-character, official sources) may or may not count as canon in the way that, say, Brookes from Pump Shanty (Bashful) being mlm does. But that’s where it comes from!
#mod miralines#asks#the mechanisms#jonny d'ville#personally I generally take word-of-god from the band members as canon with the mechs#simply given we have so relatively little about so many details#but as. somewhat less canonical than unambiguously canon sources#but that’s just me#anyhow I hope this helped!#if anyone has the clip on hand and would like to add it for citation purposes that would be helpful

wholeheartedly and with as much gentleness as possible, i truly think there needs to be more discussion about downpour in the community as it is now. for a variety of reasons.
#not main tagging this right now but#some tag babbling. like#some of yall are unnecessarily cruel about downpour. seriously.#you don't have to like it but you can also stand not to tear down someone's work like this#if every word out of your mouth is just about how much you hate downpour. why are you still here?#and i mean that genuinely. it's unpleasant for you and for everyone else. and i say this as someone who still prefers vanilla's lore#at the same time i think it's a real issue where some people take downpour as gospel and assume things about other people's creative choice#even though downpour is a DLC and it's hard to make certain claims about canonicity because of that#it has been publicly acknowledged as being an official AU. multiple times. by the MSC devs themselves#downpour is a fan made passion project that was worked on for years and years before it got DLC status#it was never meant to be scrutinized in the way it is now. i think it's more appropriate to regard it as like#a really popular fanfic most of the fanbase has read#i just feel like. a lot of the community conflicts i've seen stem from downpour's messy existence as a DLC that was originally a mod#and i think it's valuable to have community discussions about that. but also this is tumblr. so. i'm probably asking for too much
