#and it isn't your character blog

Day 172: HAPPY (very late) HALLOWEEN!!!

[comfort-character-central]

If you ever want to create something regarding you and your f/o, go for it. Make the moodboard with the bright colors, draw that elaborate scene of you both. Make the fanfic of you two being the closest you've ever been, listen to music that describes y'all's dynamic. It doesn't need to be perfect, it matters that you're enjoying yourself. You don't need to be a master at color matching or drawing hands or describing scenes, you just need to have fun with what you do. And I promise, it is more than enough. No matter how insecure you feel about it, no matter how much you worry about it being "bad." Forget that. Think about how it makes you feel. Does it bring you joy? Warmth? Comfort? Good.

══════════════════════════════════ support my ko-fi!

Oh oof I slipped and hit them with dark and serious beam. 😣

I feel like a lot of people mistake comic relief or goofiness for lack of effort or caring by the creator, and that belies a real lack of understanding of like, writing and humor and art in general.

Actually thinking more about Reiju's only sin being a woman and... Going into more depth, I know that logically/canonically she's smart and empathetic enough to not want to be in her brothers' place. She doesn't want to be an heir/ successor or follow the family's footsteps at all. She knows they're bad. She sees herself as such, too, unable to change/be different like Sanji was. She doesn't think she can bring her mother's kindness to this world the way Sanji does, so she sticks to what she knows, whether it is to protect Sanji too or to accept her fate.

BUT (and bear with me for a second here, I know I have been watching too much Succession lately) we also do know that during her childhood she didn't do anything to help Sanji from the abuse. She watched it happen because that was the way things went there and because she knew what would happen to her if she did. Of course, she ends up helping him escape and taking care of him but-- I'm just thinking, for a tiny little moment, about how she's actually the oldest.

She should be the heir. She should be the person everybody views Ichiji as. She should be considered the most responsible. The smartest. The strongest one. The one who should take the throne. And she doesn't even want it now, but what about back then? What about when she did have some little, tiny faith/hopes for her family and what they did? She sought approval and naively thought "my father is going to offer me the place I rightfully deserve, right?" blindly seeking acceptance like all of them did.

But no, because she might be the oldest but Ichiji is a man. She might be the strongest, the smartest, the most reliable... But she is not a man. And I believe there must have been a time when she expected her destiny to be something more, and once she realized she was just a woman in their eyes... Well, we know what happened.

I just keep finding similarities between The Vinsmokes (OP) and The Roys (Succession) and perhaps my headcanon of Reiju being similar to Shiv has gone a bit too far. But the scene where Shiv is like "This is real?" when Logan promises she'll be the CEO and he goes "This is real. Remember this. The slant of light" for it to be a lie later is something I fear could have happened with Reiju and Judge if Oda had given us more content,,,,

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)

BEGINS episodes I would like:

RAVI- I love him and he deserves to be shown more, also I really need him to become a regular because until he isn't, he is considerably much less safe from permanent injury/death.

MADDIE- Deserves a begins episode with backstory not just about Buck/Doug. I think we should see Maddie before Buck was born, and her relationship with Daniel. The impact of Daniel on Maddie hasn't been given the time and thought it deserves. Also Ravi and Maddie begins could be combined so well.

EDDIE- another Eddie begins, this time about before Chris. Would be massively on theme for the season, because Eddie will be exploring who he is without Chris, and Chris is literally at Eddie's childhood home, and has already been to the lake.

Also I want to see more about Chim and Hen's childhoods please!!!

ALSO much of this post is like silly and I know begins episodes are normally about how they became first responders, though tbf Bobby's ones were not.

ADDING THIS BC PEOPLE CANT SEE/IGNORED THE ORIGINAL TAGS: PLEASE DO NOT REBLOG ABOUT WANTING A TOMMY BEGINS. Feel free to post about that separately but I don't want to see that and please respect this boundary!!!

do you write?

Mel semi-dared me to type: “No, leave me alone.” So I have to include it. But in all seriousness, I'll respond this once, because it does allow me to update people a little bit. Though please know that your notification did have me pause mid-writing. Now, I want to politely, and respectfully direct you to my description on both dash-only and on my blog's theme, I also want to point your attention to my pinned post, and I believe that it's even in my rules, but I could be wrong. Though let me repeat it here:

The depictions you'll find here are canon-strict, and so you can expect many analyses of all kinds here, as dissecting the characters that I write is what I'm passionate about, and what I'm here for (and to write, of course!)

I admit, usually I aim to write more threads/asks consistently even if I'm excessively slow, and though I haven't updated the dash about my circumstances for a while (as I'm decently private about my life), know that writing meta has simply come a lot easier lately when time has permitted me to be on Tumblr. Now, that doesn't mean I don't value people's interest in writing with me, and I will live up to the promises that I've made that I will get to that (as I have occasionally done lately, and was in process of doing again)— but when meta comes easier to me, then I prioritize that as of late, simply because stress' best counter is the distraction that comes the easiest. Now this isn't by any means a waste of time, as it plays into what I quoted above. Because ultimately, here's my thing: I make it exceptionally clear everywhere on my blog that I am canon-strict (or as Tumblr, sadly, disrespectfully seems to call it nowadays: a 'lore purist'), and that this leads me to write a lot of analyses left and right on the characters that I write, but these are fundamental to understanding my portrayals of them. If that isn't your cup of tea, sir, or ma'am, then maybe this isn't the blog for you, and I don't mean that with malice, or in disrespect, but simply as a simple rebuke. In that, I greatly appreciate you checking in on behalf of my writing partners, but I'm also quite certain that they have the capacity to approach me themselves if they have any concerns. Have a nice day or night, wherever you are!

Craving warm soup, a visit from my f/o, and for them to pepper my face with kisses. I want them to hold me and take care of me, and I want them to giggle as I burn the soup on my tongue and then tell me they will kiss it better once I'm no longer sick.

[outlying-hyppocrate]

i have officially returned. ask me anything.

[t-errifier]

if you don't mind- and it's totally fine if you don't want to - but could you explain how you can be he/him and a lesbian? it's not something that i've heard of before and i'm not sure how to go about looking into it other than asking. thanks ♥

i'm not a man. i'm a woman who uses he/him. pronouns do not equate to the fact that you are a man. i use he/him, she/her/ and they/them. i just put he/him on my pinned because that is my most preferred set of pronouns when it comes to interacting online.

in real life, i stick to she/her pronouns. but i'm a woman who uses he/him. that is how it makes me able to still be a lesbian while using these pronouns.

i appreciate your sweet tone of voice, i'm sorry if i come off really pointed in this - but, i'm a little like . . . i did explain this when i said i posted my pronouns in my pinned & i never expected these types of people to come after me - because it's literally not the deal that they think it is. but i am a woman and i have a female partner. and i am sally's girlfriend. and my real life name is feminine. and i dress feminine. it's just kind of ridiculous to me that i need to explain these things to people - when everyone can just mind their business and not question things, i suppose.

i feel i have posted enough images of my face that give way to the fact that i am entirely female presenting in my day to day life. it's just a preference to be referred to as he/him. it's just like how other people have neoprounouns & whatnot. pronouns do not equate to the gender of a person. you are able to use any pronouns that you would like to. i just happened to prefer these ones.

draw yourself opening presents with me :3

get out of the main selfship tag you pred

ctrl v much

anyway posting this in main tags again, but anon, you can always just use the safeshipping tags if you don't want to see proshippers. we aren't invading your space, it's a communal space with subgroups. that can apply to any fandom or any community, there will always be subgroups you don't like, but fortunately there's usually more specific tags that cater to you! there's also the block button if my content makes you uncomfortable in any way, and I highly suggest you use it if that is the case (though, something is telling me you didn't look at a single post i made).

Have a great day anon! /gen

And to everyone in the main tags, anti or proship, I hope you have a good day and remember: your f/os love you!
