Well, returning to the Gouenji simp side after having my Shadow simp phase for a while (but defintly not abandoning it) and having watched Sonic 3 and enjoyed how my “monster.zip-running in hedgie hardware-that works on a weird mix of puppy/cat software” son got portrayed as cute, badass and bloodlusted bastard at the same time…

Its me or in the Inazuma eleven fandom we don’t talk enough about how this lil’ pookie guy can kill someone with a soccer ball or a well placed kick? I mean, he has magic soccer + the highest kick stat in the game, sooo…

Also, the fact that he turned into one of the most dangerous terrorists in Japan for a while even if its tragic and was for the greater good at the end

By the way, Hi

I've been. Reading your 'For Now' fic. And though a LOT of things go over my head since I haven't delved into Naruto (boo), I adore your writing.

Essay comment to follow

Hiiiiiiiii!!!

............. ASDLFJLSDFJLSDJAF>SJ????!!!?!

^ real live footage of me rn.

OMFG you are too sweet, thank you so much! I can't believe you're reading my little AU what-if of one of the most side-characters to ever side-character (at least, as per the majority of the Naruto fandom lol). And for such an... hm, let's say 'eclectic' pairing, too (i.e., not to everyone's tastes XD). It's probably the most niche thing I've ever written and you're not even in the fandom and you're reading it?????

I'm just sitting here blubbering, just so you know 😭

Speechless watching Neuvillette's Character Demo.

A nation where trials are publicized and hence the "entertainment" aspect is prioritized over their legal function is already cruel enough. But it gets even more poignant when you consider that the Chief Justice, who presides over all of these trials, who excels at his job due to his sternness and authoritative presence, is actually a highly considerate and sensitive guy, one you might even call soft on the inside, and his work brings so much intense internal tumult--conveyed by the auditory and visual chaos during the trial in the demo--that no one knows about just because he's not very expressive by social conventions. And it's tied back to the in-game lore neatly with the metaphorical bow of the rain imagery: in-game dialogue heavily implies (just one tiny step down from outright states) that Fontaine's rain is the manifestation of Neuvillette's tears, and the loudest and busiest parts of the trial in the demo are accompanied--almost overshadowed--by driving rain and rumbling thunder.

Then the trial ends, and it's finally quiet. Neuvillette has a second or two of tranquility.

And then Furina reminds us again of the true social purpose of court proceedings in Fontaine: trials can't be sufficiently dramatic and entertaining if they're too short!

As if it's not atrocious enough that the most grievous matters of the lives of civilians are made into a public spectacle, the entertainment value of a trial also takes priority over the degree to which it causes the Chief Justice, the one who manages court proceedings for a living, such emotional turmoil that he can barely focus. With trials serving a primarily theatrical function, the very real consequences, emotional and otherwise, whether they're evident in the participants' conduct or not, are effectively reduced to fiction with the sole purpose of engaging the audience.

I don't have a conclusion thought out for this post other than someone elsewhere said they didn't think the demo was very good and I disagree because it made me sad 🤣

Little tangent about my journey with the QSMP fandom <3

First, I'm going to preface this post by saying, I wouldn't have been interested in the server, been introduced to so many communities, languages, and cultures, if not for the eggs and the admins. So, I initially gained interest when I saw a lot of people posting about Tallulah and.... Misclick duo (lmao) so I decided to check out what everybody was talking about mid-April 2023.

I watched Philza's April 29 VOD- "last" day of the eggs. Absolutely loved Chayanne and Phil planting potatoes because of Phil telling stories about Techno. Cried like a baby after. So now I'm invested.

I downloaded Twitch the next day, in time for the Brazilians' arrival. My main pov continued to be Philza, so I was a Crow for quite a while, mostly into the summer. I started watching Cellbit when the mystery really started to ramp up by the end of May.

Then Bobby died and everyone's reactions made me sob for like, a week.

Summer was probably the most time I've had fun watching QSMP. I don't know why, but it was such a good era, despite the discourse about elections lmao. I began to gravitate more towards watching Foolish's pov and when Jaiden began streaming every day, I had her as my main pov as well. Shoutout to the doozers and Jaiden mains <33

Then, Tina and Bagi arrived and I began religiously watching them as well for, uh. Reasons 🏳️‍🌈 XD. Got invested in Bagi's lore and then everybody became really busy during October so Bad and Bagi were pretty much the only ones consistently on the server XD.

Then, and only then, did I hear little whispers about q!Badboyhalo's soul vultures and possible death? And I got really really interested then. And that's where the Ghostie era started lmao. Up to now, Bad is the only person I'd watch consistently and keep up to date on his lore because well, after the soul vultures arc and especially Sweet Despair, you can't really go back to anything else after that you know?

Of course, without the QSMP, I don't think I would've discovered/re-discovered so many wonderful streamers like Fit, Tubbo, Étoiles, Mouse, or Baghera to name a few.

The past few weeks have probably been the shittiest and most anxiety-ridden weeks for me ever. But, I don't want all the negativity and anxiety to overshadow what was, for me, THE most special and unique fandom experience I've ever had. The QSMP is such a special project, there's no doubt about that. I want that to continue.

So, if this post can offer any sort of positivity and relieve some of the dread we've all been feeling, to any person from any community, that would mean so much to me already.

Send love to and the utmost kindness and care to any and all ex admins, and continue to show your support for the current admins too please. It will take a long time for this to be resolved, and it's terrifying I know, but all we can do is support each other and wait.

Remember to always take care of yourselves and no matter what happens, it always rains before you can see a rainbow right? So, in other words, things will become worse before they can get better. Idk what will happen with the QSMP, but know that life becomes better eventually. No matter the outcome, you'll be ok. We'll all be ok. <333

Edit: oh my god I just realized qsmp 1st anniversary isn't tomorrow. Today is the 20th djrjtbrbebd

There's still 2 days but um everything else I said is still true XDDDD

[starry-sophrosyne]

little wotc au angst i thought of while listening to a song, idk if it makes sense but they consume my thoughts

-------------

"rise," said the boy to his lover

"darling get up, i've brought you my love and brought it far"

"Leave," said the girl to her lover

"i've given in, if love is a bridge we built it wrong."

song is "said the king to the river" by la dispute

--------------

-🐦‍⬛

i listened to the song, and while the style of music itself isn't really my thing, the lyrics of this song are just so- AUGHHHAUFSDJKH /pos

it's written so eloquently, just like shakespearean-tragedies from the tudor era, you coulf read all the lyrics without the music in that sort of grand sonnet way (´   ｀)

and THESE lyrics oh my god.. Sophist wanting Brent's support or protection in some sort of way, when deep inside, he truly just wants Brent to come with him, knowing there's no chance for him to escape these allegations; but Brent, so persistently loyal to the crown and unflinchingly in his duty, while shackled by the bonds of love and obedience, chooses the latter over the former. It's a haunting realization, he has to admit but refuses to ever accept through out the years of punishment that he faces for his choice - that the purest love can falter. No matter how fervently it burns and shines, it's blaze can be admonished and extinguished, leaving nothing but stinging cinders in its wake.

Your empathy is such a stark contrast to twitter lol, all people that I seen do over there is make jokes about this situation and his reactions. Idk I never found any of his circumstances in PA especially remotely humourous, because half of them are blatant violation of constitutional rights and police brutality, the other other half is legal way of instilling fear in people.

i didn't and still haven't found anything of his behaviour in PA to be funny, at all. like i could point out exactly what, where, how he'd reacted and why and all of those answers are perfectly reasonable and understandable responses from anybody in that situation. i still haven't found anything about his situation to be funny, except for the only times he jokes in his letters and since he's coping with humour there, and he's just funny too, i also find it funny. otherwise nah.

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

Oooh I just had another idea for the podcast au. What if they only had the information on the wikipedia page to convince Logan (at first), because they're just starting out and don't want to do like 3 pages worth of research for something that's supposed to be fun. (Like they enjoy researching cryptids, but gathering and putting that information into thoughts is not their thing, that's Logan's. It stresses Virgil out too much, and Remus would forget to look at that much research after a while, he prefers rambling imo.)

(This is also maybe so I don't burn myself out writing the first few chapters of this dhdhdhdh)

-g

OOOOH!!! I L O V E that!!! I can imagine one of them reading the wiki page and Lo is slightly skeptical at first but once the beloveds explain and back up their case he's like "Yeah okay that makes sense you've won me over" XD

I've had this blog for 1 year (October 10th, 2023.)

Happy late anniversary of sorts?

@demisexual-in-distress truly u are doing the lord's work, Wrynne; you are Seen and you are Heard—and your forehead is now smooched for your valiant efforts!!! >:3c

I'M SORRY THEY TOOK THE P I A N O??!?!!!?

[singsweetmelodies]

different anon, but there are so many (okay, not that many) fics where charles used to be with pierre and ends up with max, or pierre is pining while charles gets with max that i just really like when it's max->charles <--> pierre. something about how lestappen only has racing (if that) but pierre and charles have a relationship that developped beyond racing and they maintain the effort to keep it going despite increasing engagements. it's about pierre being chosen and not having to fight for validation or love.

oh my god, anon, YES. i was reading your ask nodding all the way through it like 🙏‼️ you are SO correct, friend!! in fact, this is something @boxboxbrioche and i have discussed at length - how we'd LOVE to see a fic where the "standard" (and in our opinion sickening, sorry, lol) trope of pierre-pining-for-charles-who-loves-max is INVERTED. let's have max pine for charles who is perfectly, beautifully happy with pierre!!!! because exactly like you said, anon: lestappen don't have any sort of relationship outside of racing, and even in racing, it's... they're friendly coworkers, at best. not friends. (charles has repeatedly said that pierre is his only real friend on the grid!!)

pierre and charles, though - they're genuinely friends and they genuinely love each other's company. like you said: they make an effort to stay close despite increasing engagements and hectic lives. they make an effort for each other - and if that isn't love, then what is? (not whatever charles and max have, that's for sure.)

perhaps i'm a bit petty, and too much of a pierre girl at heart - but oh my god, i HATE the way pierre tends to be portrayed in charles/max fics. either he's an asshole, or he's not even there (lol) or there's this whole idea that he might love charles but he can never have/deserve charles. i'm sorry, but to me that's BULLSHIT. charles has chosen pierre over and over - what more do you need? in short, anon, i couldn't agree more with you when you said "it's about pierre being chosen and not having to fight for validation or love." you are so so so SO right for that take 🙏 i am right there with you, and i crave a fic where it's never even questioned that pierre is the one who charles chooses. and it's max who has to fight for scraps of validation/love (because let's be honest, this is the most accurate portrayal, anyway!)

maybe briony and i will write this fic one day 👀❤️ but until then: thank you SO much for sharing your thoughts, anon, and i think i can safely speak for briony too when i say that we both agree COMPLETELY and you are 100% correct 🙏❤️
