developing Opinions about poetry in prose works

#not strong opinions but like #including the text of a poem is like including the lyrics of a song when you're writing a band fic #or w/e #it immediately stops the story #and draws people out of it #so imo it has to be woven in #or in snippets of a couple of lines #BUT ALSO. MORE IMPORTANTLY (wow burying the lead here lol)#i think one of the things i like when some poetry is a cornerstone in a prose work #is the *difference*#the poetry doesn't read like the prose #and that makes it stand out #and feel significant #much of the very popular like. instagram poetry. you know the type #doesn't really *sound* different from prose #it's free verse yes but it's also just like. wrt the vocabulary. the syntax. etc #i'm a big believer that Trying To Be Deep immediately kind of fucks up ur audience's suspension of disbelief #and i think the same thing applies when you try to include a Super Meaningful Poem #because it messes with pacing #and also because if you're writing that poem yourself #the meaning is probably going to come across as heavy-handed #which makes it not feel deep #TAG RANT OVER #('twas not supposed to be a rant oops)

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

#aka: genuinely sometimes I think I live in a parallel universe and simply watched/read different things #full disclosure it does make you feel like a killjoy sometimes #because often times these fanons will be presented in a silly jokey manner #'oh so silly isn't this character so funny this is just my silly little headcanon'#and it's like yes yes lol lol but ok look me in the eyes and tell me you know that this is #at best only one interpretation of many and at worst simply not supported by the text at all #please tell me you know that #or in one specific example such a ubiquitous joke that is literally a significant theme of the work and i feel like SUCH a killjoy #being like 'ok yes very funny.....you know that was a major theme right?? tell me you know that'

what replaying undertale in 2024 feels like

#art #comics #undertale #frisk #flowey undertale #sans undertale #toriel #alphys #tony #in the sense that its impossible to replay such a culturally significant game without feeling like a tourist #tanookitalez

been going a little bit insane about this sentence from Ace by Angela Chen for the past week

#replace this with any other type of significant relationship too #also! this book actually rules btw i really recommend it #i didnt read it when it first cane out bc i was like. well i am already pretty familiar with asexuality and not rly interested in 101 stuff #but it turns out it doesnt feel 101-y at all its a super awesome piece of queer theory and also chen has Good opinions #and not weird watered down ones that i am sometimes wary of in aspec communities (frankly especially ace ones)#i think maybe if more people approached asexuality the way chen does (including and maybe even especially ace people)#i would be more inclined to still ID as ace #but anyways!#aro #aromantic #<- tag selections that reflect how i personally engage with this quote #also #described in alt text #also also #j tag #:/#aro media

I finally watched The Old Guard and tumblr did not adequately prepare me for how funny the van kiss scene actually is. Like I've seen whole gif sets of Joe's impromptu love poem but that's not the half of it.

Dude are you sure you want to be making a homophobic jab at these people specifically

Joe: "Yeah he is and what about it, bitch boy" <- said with far more grace and eloquence

Nicky: "<3"

(This is where we give kudos to the actors for not smashing each other's teeth in when LAUNCHING at each other. Couldn't have been me)

Everyone is so taken aback they fully just watch for a whole second in, presumably, homophobic horror before all simultaneously deciding This Cannot Stand

you INTERRUPT joe and nicky? you interrupt their kiss like the football game? oh! oh! death for homophobes! death for homophobes for One Thousand Years!!!!

This isn't really part of the scene but "There's a TV, Joe!" is close enough that I'm going to add it. As an epilogue.

#the old guard #I feel I said homophobe too often. but them getting theirs is a significant part of the fun though

"those who unlock the demon slayer mark, without exception..."

tdlr obanai's reaction to muichiro and mitsuri's fates as a result of manifesting the demon slayer mark will haunt me forever..... two of the people he cares about the most... doomed... and right after he lost rengoku, too is he to blame... could he have stopped it somehow? had he never exposed them to his tainted blood, had he never cared... could he have saved them...

another one that I'm not super happy with, but continuing to mess with it isn't going to help! so here he is! 🦇 there was a lot I was trying to get across in this one, so uhhhhh hopefully it reads.

we're almost out of unique magics now...just Ace (and maybe Grim?) left!

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #unique magic posters #drawing lilia slightly more on-model than i usually do feels so wrong #i just want to draw the tallest spikes #lilia: (writing down his height) 5'6“...5'2” in a hat #(actually i'm pretty sure he would just write 'fun-size' but i digress)#anyway lilia. hey lilia. your magic is not cradle-specific so WHY is it called that #did it come in like 'so in like 500-ish years we're going to have a significant moment with a cradle. just trust me bro.'#'in the meantime enjoy having the weirdest magic name ever'#probably came in useful for raising kids though #don't put that in your mouth don't you know where it's BEEN #because i do #(long stare off into middle distance) i know where it's been

A lot of speculation (and some bitchass judgemental commentary) on why Tommy calls Buck Evan and i wanna give my two cents

I believe that Chim did NOT introduce them properly when he showed up. He was just like "hey Tommy bro it's been forever we gotta meet under non someone's life threatening circumstances oh yeah these losers are with me they're at the 118 too say hi losers this guy is gonna steal us a chopper"

And Buck was standing there a little starstruck as Tommy smiled and shook his hand and he definitely did his lil anxious stutter thing where he went "oh um hi im- evan- evan buckley" and before he could manage to get out the "you can call me Buck part" Tommy went "hi Evan, nice to meet you" and the fucking SOFT way Tommy said his name just had Buck's brain melting so he forgot about the Buck thing and then well they were stealing helicopters flying into hurricanes and it just settled as A Thing in his head that Tommy calls him Evan and Buck kinda just Likes It.

Meanwhile Tommy is increasingly confused about the Buck thing the more time they spend together and the more time he spends with the extended 118 fam the more he realises that NO ONE calls Buck Evan except Evan had very specifically introduced himself as "Evan. Evan Buckley" and had never once told Tommy he could call him Buck and now it's been so long Tommy's just afraid to ask what's going on.

This is all now canon in my head also I wanna read fics where Tommy is confused about the name thing now HAS ANYONE WRITTEN THE FICS!?!?

#also he secretly likes being the only one allowed to call him evan bc a lil possessive streak is fun #bucktommy #911 on abc #evan buckley #tommy kinard #ive always loved the idea of Buck's significant other calling him evan #bc in Buck's head evan is that kid who grew up feeling alone and unloved #and Buck's s/o calling him evan just solidifies the fact that every piece of him #the most damaged parts of him #they are all loved

I am so guilty of enjoying the idea of Moonie being quite a bit.. uhm grumpier and more "proper" when she was younger.

She just does her job. Don't disturb her. Don't bother her. (And then Sliver did anyway)

#rain world #rain world comic #looks to the moon #five pebbles #no significant harassment #sliver of straw #rw comic #iterators #my art #also she doesn't “stand” or “tolerate” Pebbles #she sees her younger self in him and so she's very understanding even when to others it feels like he's just being mean or dismissive.

Sorry for not having a Year of the Dragon MDZS artwork; Unfortunately, I can only picture Dragon LWJ in this particular flavour.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Dragon AU #MDZS AU #noodleji #(IT'S A REAL TAG!!! AAH!!! THROWING MY HAT TO THE LITTLE GUY LOVERS!)#Yes I watched Fruits Basket in my teen years and yes it left a significant impression on me.#'The Dragon Transforms' and its just into a small little guy.#Even more points if the human form is a Tall Guy.#Sadly this does not appear to be a common nor popular variation so I will sit on my little hill alone. (EDIT: I WAS WRONG)#Dragon LWJ probably would be some kind of river dragon. Lesser god of a small stream.#One that grows bigger with time but always has the reputation of being benevolent and calm to those who seek its clear waters.#Do not pollute these waters or your ass is going to be bit. 1000 tiny puncture marks.#I imagine that's probably how wwx first meets him (accidently pours booze into lwj's river) (gets bit - gets bit - gets bit-)#WWX eventually befriends him through stubbornly showing up every week to give him offerings.#Takes him into town in a little pot of water to show him how the people live. Maybe go to a festival.#When the day is done and he's back in his river and alone - LWJ finally feels a new emotion...it is longing and loneliness.

Wait, it's been a long time since I read ASOIAF, but did Jaime flopping at Joffreys nameday journey change the history of Westeros? (In addition to leaving Ser Addam Bongwater destitute). Cause Littlefinger lost the Catspaw dagger to Robert in a bet, which was then used in the Joffrey ordered assasination of Bran, which lead to Catelyn taking Tyrion prisoner.

The flop heard around the world.

everything that ever happened in the history of asoiaf is a result of an action jaime did or did not take once he can be blamed for everything ever

#most influential man ever but none of it is deliberate #thats my goat #killing aerys the incest bastards pushing bran #he is shaping history #i feel like jaime is fr at the scene of the crime when it comes to fucking everything in these books #fuck petyr hes a tryhard jaime just does this naturally #anyways unironically i do think that the most significant changes to this series would happen if u removed him from existence #nobody will match the terrorism he caused just by dicking around #ask

Question for the DP fandom:

Do you think Danny’s hair turns white when it falls out? It’s technically dead cells anyway but when it naturally falls off his head, do you think it turns white? Because I think it would be hilarious if his hairbrush just has white hair, no black strands whatsoever, and his significant other thought the worst until they know his secret.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dc x dp #dp x dc prompt #dp x dc crossover #danny fenton #dc x dp au #sorry it’s a no thoughts head empty kind of night #I know it’s a dumb thing to think about #but it was a shower thought and sometimes those are good #I just think it could bring so much angst to the plot #any plot #like Tim or Damian or whoever you want his significant other to be could think the worst #it would be something they’d notice for sure #could even be Tucker until Sam reminds him that he’s an idiot and their idiot boyfriend turns into a ghost #or it could be another small thing Jazz has to explain away to their parents #she makes up a whole person that is friends with Danny and it becomes a thing #I know it’s gaslighting and I’m not sure she’d do it but it’d be funny #his name is Garrett and he’s one of Danny’s best friends mom. Jeez how do you not know this #or what if Jason’s hair turns white too and that’s when it clicks for Jazz that he is not completely human #if Jazz is liminal her hair could be blue and boy would that be fun to explain #HER HAIR IS BLUE AND SHE HAS FEELINGS ABOUT IT OKAY #all caps on purpose #because I for sure would be freaking out if my hair was the wrong color in the hairbrush #I would purposely pluck a strand and watch it change then freak out #anger management ship #hardcover ship #everlasting trio

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #sora #riku #nightmare's end #mirage split #my gif #i was going to write up a whole thing in the tags about my thoughts on this keyblade #but i just know it'll be an incoherent essay because i can't properly articulate my thoughts #the x-blade must be forged through a clash of light and darkness #but i find it so highly significant that sora and riku can create their own keyblade which is so unheard of #this keyblade isn't created with a clash but rather through harmony and balance #not with conflict but with understanding and connection and love #and i always felt as though that's how the x-blade SHOULD be forged. that master xehanort went about it all wrong #because balance and connections are such important themes in these games #it has two handles and looks so regal when combined. all of the shapes feel reminiscent of the x-blade too #it shines so brilliantly with both sora and riku's symbols. the heart and crown which is the iconic logo for the entire series #also the way stained glass is always used to represent hearts. it's so significant!#and yeah the paupu fruit keychain is its own thing to unpack #okay so i ended up writing something anyway but there's still so much more #i just really hope we get to see more of this in future games because it would be shocking if it was nothing more than a cool combo attack
