Maybe I'll make a post on this at some point but like, something deeply fucked up about TNP and Po3 that people have totally forgotten about is how badly they try to whine that "Tigerstar Had Good Traits :("

Firestar does it, Brambleclaw does it, and they keep doing this after it becomes this GRAND irony that Firestar almost gets Tiger'd to death in a fox trap because he was too trusting. Bramble gets his pity award of keeping deputyship and then cries to his son about how No One Saw The Good In Tigerstar :(

And it's wiiiiild that no one else in this fandom has done anything with the fact that Leopardstar broke the Warrior Code to appoint Hawkfrost, who had no apprentice, an extremely aggressive and warmongering Tigerclone who says things like "Tigerstar wasn't the worst cat to look up to." ONLY qualifying trait was being kinda like Tigerstar.

And she practically did that the SECOND Mistyfoot went missing. And then Leopardstar continued to be one of the most violent and xenophobic leaders through Po3, joining with WindClan to attack ThunderClan.

What I'm getting at is that like, a few years ago, with books like "Blackfoot's Reckoning" and "Shadow in RiverClan" it's like they suddenly decided to retcon in a bunch of "redemption arcs" in hindsight. They just pretended like there was this grand high reckoning with TigerClan, when there literally wasn't, and if anything that caused SERIOUS problems for the cast that the authors didn't fully acknowledge as such.

And now ppl haven't actually read the main series and are just working with their recent memory of all these retcon books.

But TNP and PO3 are still there, and you can go and see the ACTUAL timeline where Leopardstar is really not apologetic at all, and Blackstar is a useful stooge for the very next wannabe dictator that strolls in, in spite of the new side content that COMPLETELY mischaracterized them for their plots to work.

PLEASE READ THIS ASK. I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Um..... hi.

It's the Silent Giggler.

I know I'm the last person you want to see or talk to rn but I wanted to apologise properly for what I said to you earlier today.

It was rude and uncalled for. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote comment, but that doesn't excuse my behaviour.

I wanted to apologise for ruining your Halloween.

You're a really kind person and an amazing writer and I didn't appreciate that.

You're not an AI that can write everything I want all the time and it was selfish of me to even think so.

As an aspiring writer myself, I know what it's like to put your whole heart and soul into writing sth and how scary it can be to post it online because it's like you're putting your sweat, tears and a piece of your personality for everyone to see.

Deleting my old account was cowardly because it's wrong not to admit one's mistake especially if others were hurt in the process.

I want you to log out smiling instead of being even more upset than you were before you logged in.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into everything you write and I'm really sorry for what I said.

It was wrong and I did act like a bully towards you the moment I sent that comment.

You don't have to forgive me if you don't want to. I just don't want you to keep hurting after what I said to you.

PS: You don't have to answer this ask. I just wanted a chance to apologise properly to you.

Well…hello.

I appreciate the apology but I don’t think I can forgive you. I really and truly don’t know. What you said was rude and it was uncalled for and it does not in the slightest excuse your behavior towards me. 

I do not celebrate Halloween but I do celebrate Day of the Dead…which you did in fact ruin for me this year. I was mourning the losses of people I cared about and to receive your comment on my fic that I worked so fucking HARD on despite losing so many people dear to me just…made everything worse. 

I don’t think you understand but this week and month has been rough. So freaking rough but despite that I have been TRYING to post fics continuously because I care about my followers and I know how much people enjoy my work. 

I am not an AI that just…writes to write. I write from my heart but most importantly it’s a HOBBY of mine; a hobby you made me question. 

And I’m still now trying to comprehend WHY you did all of this. You’re a writer. You know full well what’s it’s like so…why? What the actual hell did I do to you? 

We are strangers. I do not know you. And for you to treat me like what you did was just…sad.

PLUS you’ve SEEN my posts about me going to be inactive and having a hard day.

And personally? I don’t log into this site smiling anymore because of people like you. You are, like, the 5th person this MONTH that has done something like this and I’m tired. 

The amount of time and work that I put into my fics mean nothing and they never will because there is always just…someone always trying to put me down. 

People don’t care about me— it’s just the work I produce and even then it doesn’t satisfy people like yourself.

You are a bully and I don’t understand what I did to get a comment like that. No offense, but I think you should know better regarding the fact that you are like…3 years older than me. 

I’m tired and I’m hurt. And I don’t know what to do anymore really

Made the exquisite decision to go do the workout path in the woods on my way to the airport, except doing this woke up my muscles and bodily awareness which in turn reminded me that my hamstrings are so flourishing it's not comfortable to sit with my legs out in front of me. So that's fun.

this is apparently a Supernatural blog now

do you ever think for wayyyy too much about that scene where Dean and Cas thought that they were saying goodbye forever in the finale episode of season 8? and the fact that there were two other dudes literally visibly falling in love with each other like 10 feet away? and you start clawing your own face off?

no? just me?

HSR verse Kaeya ideas:

Path of Nihility, Element Ice

Fell in stride with that path due to his depression after his conflict with Diluc and belief his fate due to his family's ties to the Abyss Order may be to bring his new homeworld's doom ( in part because of his Father's final words to him ), maintained in growing to find amusement in the impossible and working towards it regardless of the fact

Has every intention to try and defy his so-called fate even still, even knowing all that effort may be for naught in the end. But at least he would like to say he tried

Tends to help people on a whim, without desiring credit for his actions or if it may help them in the long run

His abilities sap the vitality of his enemies, but consume his own when he uses his strongest ability

Due to his family's contract with the Abyss Order, his lifespan is longer than most humanoids, spanning centuries. Though not quite that of a Xianzhou native, like them, his people do still face a terrible curse to become monsters after a time, like many of the Abyss Order.

He is glad his loved ones will never live to see him succumb to it. One way or another.

Though he also secretly harbors the strongest desire to force the Abyss's immortality on them to ensure they can stay with him, and face the same fate. He has to wonder if the slumbering monster in him is to blame for that, or his own attachments

Hi Stella :) I’m in your inbox for the fic ask thing 

Here’s the symbol I chose ✿

Howdy howdy :V

✿ did anything major change when you started writing [fic] to when you finished? 

In general, I feel like I either have a solid idea of the whole fic (because most of what I write are oneshots) or I develop the fic as it goes so it’s not really a ‘change’ per se... the change tends to be ‘knowing where I actually want to go with it’ lol. also, a lot of times when I write it tends to be during times of stress and transition, so for example that are major changes like ‘when I started writing this fic I was in school, when I finished the fic I graduated’.

oh, for the fic I’m trying to write now (for a given definition of ‘trying’ -_-) the change is: before I didn’t know much about fishing in japan, now I know... still not a lot but I have some logistics. also another major change for it is that I was originally going to do a oneshot of a couple of different scenarios and then was like... hm... with the oneshots being based on hobbies/activities, I can see a way to make this a multichapter getting together fic...’ so that’s A Major Change. actually I have the exact moment I realized this in the tags of a post hang on let me dig it up

I have done it

According to the DCU Guide, I have read every single Post-Crisis Pre-Flashpoint comic that features main universe Selina Kyle. And I have to say... Good lord was that not worth it.

I'm not a huge meta head when it comes to lbc (my principle is as long as I survive longer than the enemies, I'm good w whatever) but man there really are some picturas out here that have the most beautiful art but then have the most god awful effects

[olessan]

I love the fact that I can work as hard as I can manage with a broken tooth and a dying tooth (one on each side, I've been chewing on the cavity for a year) and I still cannot save even $10 towards getting dental treatment (2 impacted wisdom teeth, + tooth broken off under the gum, + bad cavity) because I barely make enough to cover my food and board and the insane energy bill

[bravevolunteer]

not only does michael watch supernatural, he FINISHED supernatural

[hopefulqueer]

[oc-cinematic-universe]
