you know, you know. no gods, no masters, no kings on pedestals. everyone is fallible. death of the author. you know! you are balanced about your intake of media - you allow the wiggle room, the grace, the gratitude, the skepticism. nobody above criticism.
but still. a weird gut-punch feeling, something akin to betrayal. you read the article. surprise! an author you love is actually: a serial fucking predator.
well, shit. what now. no, you knew he was a person (all people are), but now you're wondering - what have i overlooked by accident? what messages have i internalized that are strange and cruel? and also, like, what the fuck?
his actions lay a thick glaze on top of everything. like each place is now ruined, opaque in a new way. but okay, fine, you've done this before. you knew better, right? you've been betrayed by many a cherished childhood author.
still, this stickiness. fuck. can you pick up that book again. will you read it to your children. you've recommended it to others - will you ever do that again? and of course, of course, no parasocial relationships. you were theoretically above this kind of sentiment. but the artist informs the art, right.
so it's not something as clear-cut as feeling he owed you, specifically (a stranger) better behavior - just that you kind of, in a distant and odd way... sort of trusted him to do better. it's not like a real trust or something speakable, just the faint hope that the product (good books) was a thin representation of the soul. now it feels like the product (good? books?) was a mask. in some small or insignificant way, your previous support of this person lent them power. your money and your time and your laughter.
and the thing is - you have this terrible, echoing sensation. how many times will this happen? over and over. you find out that the singer you love is actually a predator. you learn over drinks that your favorite high school english teacher is in jail for what he did to her. you listen to the news idly and suddenly discover that a woman you used to idolize has been abusing her kids for an actual eon.
what can you touch without the static melting off. you can't even really complain about it too much (you were supposed to know better, and besides, you don't want the same re-split "it's not your fault, love what you love" basic advice), but now it's here. somehow, it feels like - you let him into your life.
it's not that things need to be pure or an artist has to be like, endlessly perfect, mindful. demure. it's more just this terrible truth that has been replayed through your veins so often it feels criminally vain. power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. did you want any one person to be worth that power?
it's just that he wrote books where he seemed to understand that. he seemed to know about hierarchies and unfair systems and bigotry and privilege. you thought they were books about what it means to struggle. you thought they were about having power and still using it for good rather than for control. he spooned you a narrative of being a good guy, a kind soul. you fucking bought what that fucking monster sold.
maybe that's why they were fantasies, after all.
#spilled ink#warm up#oh im .... sick to my stomach.#i talked to him. like ....... we talked. that man interacted with my poetry and writing.#that article.... gutwrenching. i am so sorry to everyone he's ever even been in the room with.#i feel.... like... unbearably. sick.#he acted like he was cool and friends with me!! we were cool internet writers together!!!!!#i feel sick for even having been polite to him.#i ...... am experiencing something so fucking complicated.#i wonder how many of u are feeling that too. like ''oh i sent him an ask and he was funny and sweet''#THATS HOW THEY GET U. ..... and YES I KNOW!!!#i am so fucking well-read about parasocial relationships. it would just be nice to like. trust that someone ISNT#hiding a huge fucking background of BEING A COMPLETE MONSTER. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK.#by the way i am not part of a fandom. this is ā€œwhat the fuck i accidentally supported a rapistā€ not#ā€œbut my showwwā€. like i care far more about like. the human cost.#but also like... people are people. idk i saw a take on here about how nobody should mourn the books#and idk. people almost always reply to any scenario with their personal experience first -#''i knew him'' or ''wow i was just at that store'' or ''i grew up there'' or whatever. because that is how we establish connection &#emotional weight. that's just... a person thing. and there is a difference between 'oh this guy is a monster'' & the feeling of:#he's been a monster and i SUPPORTED THAT. i CELEBRATED him. i !!! a fucking victim myself!!!!!!!!! SUPPORTED . HIM.#i am sick. i feel so much pain for her and everyone he's ever hurt. saying ''the books are ruined'' is i think ... like how people say#they're shocked and disgusted by him. (obviously there's nuance here. im sure there's some creep doin it wrong. but u know. in general)#idk..... im an author. i understand my work is in your life in whatever small way. i understand that connection. it's real.

alright, so jevin has wing huh? here's the real question, how well can he actually fly?? anyway, i love him so muchh, the way you designed him makes me wanna give him a rub on the back and wings-
ooh flight inquiry, i imagine jevin is able to take himself at any height he desires but simply chose to stay grounded
he although preferrably goes as high as the height of octave hills (one of the locations i made up for my au, need to draw a map for future refs lol) which is generally at 14ft
wanted to draw more of this idea but for now here's one (1) depiction of jevin actually flying and a lil bonus whee

letā€™s be super clear: there is zero canon evidence that alden ever pressured or neglected any of his children. zero. if you want to make him that way for fic or fanon purposes, fine. you do you. but the second you try to use that in a serious anti alden argument, you lose credibility
#if youā€™re going to bring up alvarā€™s whining think about this: when fitz was born alvar was twelve years old#when biana was born alvar was fourteen#OBVIOUSLY the parents will pay more attention to the younger children than the teenager!!!! this is common parenting sense#thereā€™s also no evidence alden prioritized fitz above alvar or biana#if you donā€™t believe me: think about this. when has BIANA ever complained about alden favoring fitz? she doesnā€™t#alvar does but thatā€™s because alvarā€™s only personality trait is whining that he has to share (yes SHARE) the spotlight with fitz#he says he grew up under immense amounts of pressure but thereā€™s no evidence that alden was the one putting that pressure on him#it reads more like a societal thing. like ohohoohoho look at the vacker boy over there weā€™ll see how he holds up#and if you donā€™t believe me on THAT just read bianaā€™s registry file. itā€™s clear that she was put under a lot of pressure----#----not by alden but by her peers at foxfire. the council. other elves. thereā€™s nothing from alden#alden is a good parent guys. you all forget that he grew up under these exact same conditions#heā€™s a good parent full stop. not ā€œoh heā€™s tryingā€ not ā€œwell heā€™s a little messed up but heā€™s doing what he sees as bestā€. good parent#i am still working on the sending his kids to search argument. just wait. thatā€™s coming still#but god people act like he sent his kids to scope out murderous cults and not take short trips to watch random girls from a safe distance#kotlc#kotlc alden#pro alden vacker

heathcliff: i killed cathy...... im a horrible person in every timeline. my revenge killed her. my remorse literally broke through timelines.
catherine who got back at heathcliff by stealing a house to remodel into the Magic Cocaine Labyrinth after draining the financial assets of england's least tragically ill victorian man, making carmen contact her copyright lawyers by sealing her ambiguously dead body into a glass tank while her brain powers a building, and potentially hiring the Mueseumafia of Modern Art because if she pays them with cash she doesnt have to report her Green-Energy-Human-Tank Powered Hydrogen Bomb Basement Factory's earnings to the IRS or whatever the city uses: 'tis what you get for trying to boyfail without your girlboss, methinks šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡

Mu Qing ascending is objectively so funny considering Feng Xin and Xie Lian also do. Out of the people in your kingdom who accomplished immortality thereā€™s this guy who used to be your servant but is now on equal rank to you and heā€˜s super rude now and also thinks you hate him because he remembers when you were 18 and lacked socioeconomic-interpersonal awareness
#he doesnā€™t even hold the ignorance against you. you hold it against him though#list of people who ascended from Xianle: the crown prince and his noble bodyguard. also the princeā€™s attendent who came from poverty#like mu qing only got to cultivate because of a very specific set of circumstances but like he did it very successfully#itā€™s hilarious#by all rights he worked harder than them both but he sure got there#also you see him as super rude and mean now while the people of his region keep insisting heā€™s kind gentle and refined etc.#Feng Xin looks at Mu Qing as if they were in the same boat and Xie Lian looks at Mu Qing like they were in the same boat#and Mu Qing is there doing their chores on top of studying and training and caring for his mother looking at their idealistic nonsense#with many question marks#Xie Lian and Feng Xin: our past friend Mu Qing#Mu Qing: ah yes. my employer. who I would like to befriend but unfortunately I have dignity.#tgcf#like sorry not everyone has the awareness or priorities or ideas another who grew up poor might smh#also he has like a ridiculously impeccable memory so like. yea he DOES remember when you were 18. in vivid detail.#he used to prepare your clothes so has your whole cultural fashion line embedded into his head forever. including the jewelry#imagine being 800 years old and the guy that used to steam your clothes every morning and fold them every night lives next door#isn't that so embarrassing#that guy remembers EVERYTHING too#you don't remember that stuff but HE DOES?????

Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???

The doctor leaves and James busies himself with doing nothing. Taking note in the logbook of what has happened. Writing down the list of the dead, cross-referencing, figuring out who they were. It's just war, he reminds himself, don't get too personal about it, but it's personal. It feels personal.
He doesn't know if it's normal to feel as though he's lost his own sons and brothers, his own family, but he hates the feeling nonetheless. He hates that he cares so damn much because he knows he will never be good enough for them. He was never one for family and grew up an only child, without a mother, but being in the navy and this tight crew business has shifted perspectives. It scares him to have people he's close to. He'll have to be careful with Goodsir tonight. Nothing personal. Friendly, but nothing personal.
He goes on deck again, busies himself with giving his orders and checking on the crew. He's too afraid to go to sleep, so he won't, he'll stay awake as long as he can, even if he's tired, even if his mind is muddied, even if he feels so terrible, so so so terrible.
Much as he knows he should check on the injured, he avoids the sickbay.
Eventually the time comes. He has the steward get everything set for him in the wardroom, and then he waits for the doctor @erebusanatomist48.
