#and it just makes me so sad

[smol-stardust]

Thinking again about how A Charlie Brown Christmas was a staple Christmas program that regularly aired on broadcast tv and is nostalgic. But also about A CB Christmas’ message of the holiday season amidst commercialism and superficial celebrations. How Charlie Brown, feeling disenchanted by the materialism surrounding Christmas, and co eventually find Christmas in each other. Something about the simplicity of genuine connections and the spirit of giving being the core of us and of the holidays.

Then remembering Apple bought A Charlie Brown Christmas, and kept the streaming rights to it. Making it no longer on broadcast TV. How it ignored the message of the over-commercialism about a season meant for people and giving. How it took the little simple joys away, giving an absence of the yearly broadcast. And it’s been a few years, but it still makes me mad, because even if they make it available for a few days, it’s not the same. It’s no longer the same CB Christmas we know and love if it’s kept away in this manner… and it’s just… wrong

Since the Tavelles were a little traveling performance troupe from Shadycreek Run like the Fletching and Moondrop circus--do you think Gustav ever knew Lucien's family?

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bruce who forgets he can’t just. Pick Jason up as easily as before.

Jason will get injured, — he hates ankle wounds; they’re not like shoulder wounds, which are his favorite.

They’re pesky, and tiny but powerful, like Damian, — and Bruce casually walks up to him, tries lifting him by the armpits. One time? No go. Two times? No. The third time, he cracks his neck and does it.

Other times, Jason pretends to be asleep in the Batmobile so Bruce would carry him. Bruce forces himself not to mention Jason can’t sleep without his Wonder Woman bear.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

You know honestly I'm pretty sure if I rewatched season 2 of Loki again I'd bawl my eyes out.
