WOW this has been ROUGH in the Life Events category of things, but. slowly crawling out of that. hopefully
this was the opening scene for a something I started writing after watching the Manben inverview with Nishi Keiko and thinking back to all the classic shoujo manga I stayed up reading back in the day, like damn that's so true Urasawa Naoki
it's partially a love letter to all the greats of the genre that I read, and also to the late night teleseryses that captivated me over the years lmao. it'd be nice to find the time to tackle it properly as a comic, but I'm having fun working on it recreationally :)
✨but since it's recreational, some character info✨
the first character seen is lawrence 'law' valenciano (late 30s), the one with the glasses is cris volante (mid-later 20s). law works at a karinderya, cris is an extremely broke university student.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!
#komiks tag#original tag#there's a bit about how shoujo manga pays a lot of attention to hair and ngl its SO true and such a huge influence on my own art#did not realize it until then but when it came to things like hair i did turn more frequently to CLAMP and etc over any big name shonen#artist. and ofc. im a lifelong CLAMP fan. it was just interesting to listen to in discussion! genres are a language and each conveys#what they need to. ofc you get things like genre convention defying things like x1999 which just kind of. melt your brain a bit#ANYWAY i actually started re reading marmalade boy after this interview which was. idk why that one came to mind first#but you can probably guess where that impacted this story idea lmaoo. i am trying to track down a bunch of gender blender josei#manga i read in highschool. god. remember paradise kiss. damn those visuals were killer

i hope you guys understand my vision
#not every hermit is on here. if they didn’t fit any of the six categories i didn’t want to force it#i guess other “genres” not included here would be: abba. childrens music (wheels on the bus etc). jazz.#locus fandom time#shitpost#hermitcraft#mcyt#hermitblr#xbcrafted#<- hes the only one im maintagging because im DESPERATE to know if the xb fans agree with me. you see where im coming from right?#“e girls are ruining my life” is That corpse song btw#if you want to hear my explanations on these. just ask. I have thought all of these through.#like some of them are just “the cc likes this music a lot” (xisuma wels doc) but most of them I have a lot of character thoughts on#hermitcraft memes

I wish more people would weigh out the demand of how "realistic" something is regarding horror media thats supposed to be around a certain time era or within certain limitations with the fact that if it WERE 100% accurate to what it's trying to represent, it'd probably be lame as hell.
#I've seen this complaint a lot with N64 replicated horror lately since that's been a popular... genre I guess?#'the console isn't capable of that/the devs wouldn't do that realistically because it would run bad'#Yes but consider: the game you are currently playing would lose so much value as a HORROR game if it took all of that away#Like I'm gonna keep it a stack with you. If you are playing a horror game of any kind you're already breaking the laws of reality#have some fun with it instead of nitpicking the fact that it isn't console accurate because duh#I do not think any developer goes into a console replica game with the intent to make it accurate.#They go in with the intent to make it an experience and should be judged on that merit#And sometimes I feel they do it good (Shipwrecked) or bad (Crow64 I hate your game so much)#TLDR: devs don't typically make replica horror games with the intent to be accurate they do it with the intent to be a horror game#edit: if there's a suspension of disbelief with fnaf all the time with walking non possessed sentient animatronics#I don't know why it becomes an issue when the N64 starts playing videos

Does anyone want to see a very specific part of the internet? Context is this guy next to me went to put on music and loudly exclaimed “Oh what the fuck!” He disavows any knowledge of why his YouTube algorithm did this.
#you’re never going to guess where this is going#no one in the room had ever seen anything of this genre#I swear to fuck we did not set this up and this is not a bit#I am sharing a genuine moment with you#this man’s watch history was immediately opened and none of us can figure out where this came from#He allowed me to take a pic as long as it was cropped too close for any other details to be seen.

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???
i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3
Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.
Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.
And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.
#necrotic answerings#batcest#bruce wayne#dick grayson#tim drake#fandom tag#anyway the fandom is i guess mean to all of them#but like it's deserving.#everytime i meet a tim anti i'm like you're SO right. he's the worst. pls hate his ass more.#same with bruce. like never met a bruce anti who didn't have endless receipts for hating his ass.#(except for those using the shallow 'he's a billionaire beating up the mentally ill' argument which. i ignore)#(bc why are you. consuming superhero content if you just don't like or understand the genre. it's lazy pseudointellectual nonsense.)#and i don't think ppl are truly mean to dick. i think they just don't understand him.#which extends to the entire batfamily bc well. the state of the fandom and all.#like “everyone else is wrong about them” isn't in a “no one gets them but me” way#(except about tim truly no one gets him but me /j)#it's in a “oh y'all just want to fit them into neat boxes don't you” way#one more person call dick grayson “eldest daughter core” and i'm going to your house and eating the stuffing out all of your pillows.#first of all can we stop calling male characters “female coded” in any way please#women exist in comics too.#second of all it's just not true? and it's not the complex he has with bruce nor his “siblings” if you wish to call them that#and then bruce. where do you even start.#you dare say you think it's in character for bruce to hit his kids and *SOCIETY. society goes wild.*#like ofc it has to be in specific contexts. he's not just swinging.#and sometimes it *is* written very OOC bc bruce is written as a machismo self insert i give you that#but yeah a soldier who views his children as soldiers and has zero healthy emotional regulation or communication skills#is gonna sometimes swing in his worst moments. it is just how the superhero genre works everyone is gonna fist fight to solve problems.#why are you reading comics about ppl who hit other ppl for a living if you don't like it when they hit ppl.#also random hot take about dick's characterization#the young justice tv show did incredible damage to ppl's perception of him and i dislike the take it's the best adaptation of him

Feeling conflicted about the cyberpunk thingy impulse is going for because like yeah it’s a great theme and I like the aesthetics a lot but what I really like most about cyberpunk is the themes of corporate alienation and/or transhumanism etc etc which I know will not be addressed at all and in fact it’s kind of stupid of me to expect that at all from a minecraft series. Does anyone else get that or just me
#this is an issue I’ve been having with mcyt content in general you know. not ragging on impulse specifically#it’s just… I find it difficult to reconcile the quality of narrative focused mcyt content with its complete lack of commentary#should it have commentary? I believe it could if it wanted to. I don’t think it has to#but then you see these genres being… skinned and worn as cloaks#taking the aesthetics and story without any of the meaning behind it#and when it was just Minecraft builds that was expected. I guess it is still expected and I’m being a huge snob#but like. mcyt narrative is so fucked from a quality standpoint. you can’t even have villains who are other mcyters because people#will get mad at them#is that an unrelated issue? maybe. but I don’t think so#idk. mcyters aren’t expected to be storytellers and they don’t need to be#but I see these things happen over and over again and it’s just uncanny to see something that walks like a story talks like a story#but at the same time has absolutely nothing of value to say#it’s very early on so maybe there will be something done with this concept but I doubbbt it. I would be very pleasantly surprised#astro speaks#hermitcraft#not putting this in the impulse tag cause he would be more likely to see it#and I don’t want him to feel like he has to address this at all#it’s more just me noticing a trend

also I guess this is just an observation
but what is it with some pixel art games being so low contrast... I was finally going to give in and try out a farming sim lots of ppl enjoy despite the portrait art being not entirely to my tastes and then the pixels and environment are sooooo low contrast it made me change my mind again....like you do not have to be scared of dark colors and borders. Outlines. Smile.
#it reminds me of how i can never use any stardew furniture/clothing/hair mods bc theyre always so low contrast#to match the equally low contrast pastel environment recolors that the modders assume youre also using#FoM is full of pastel furniture (for example) and they werent scared to add um Outlines and Borders. thank god.#but this is my point again like this wouldnt be an issue if we had moreeee of these games#well wait not true#i keep saying that bc more of them = theres gotta be some among them that turn out good#but everyone says the genre is oversaturated rn and it is true and we only have like 2 good games in the past 10 yrs lmfao#nvm. my ''we just need more of these games so it doesnt matter if some are bad if we have many good ones'' argument doesnt work#bc like where are the good ones....#ok evilposting over. i love pixel art game i prefer it to Non pixel where the art style can#be very polarizing i feel pixel has a more universal potential....but im still very picky with pixel art style.#talkys#i guess this rant was more abt farming games.....i just want more escapism games for cheye PLEASE

timewarp!twilight: a time travel au
[throughout the series, Bella Swan has prophetic dreams that reveal her future (or present predicament) in cryptic ways. but tho Bella can peek forward in time, her true power lies in the past.]
time first unzips when James sinks his teeth into Bella at the ballet studio.
the burning in her veins overwhelms her. for a delirious moment she seizes from venom & bleeds out on a hospital room's tile floor where her mother is giving birth. to her.
the Cullens barge into the studio. Bella's writhing on the ground. they never see the warp. a stunned James is defeated.
Bella says nothing, chalking it up to a near-death experience. ofc she can't unravel the fabric of time lol like what?? who does that???
over summer, night terrors haunt her when Edward is away.
the "good" dreams give her flashes of the future. wolves. light. cliffs. a stone antechamber. red hair. a casket.
it's the nightmares she fears the most.
her PTSD-fueled flashbacks feel so real, she unzips time to escape James's attack & wakes up in random places as if sleepwalking.
at first they're tiny jumps. a few minutes back. then several months before she meets Edward. then the day Renee leaves Charlie with Bella in tow.
the night after her disastrous birthday party, her nightmare dumps her in the back alley of a neon-lit diner.
this isn't home. not 2006, not 1996, not 1986, even...
disoriented, she stumbles in and sits at the counter. the folded newspaper by the napkin dispenser, the Philadelphia Herald, reads March 3rd, 1950.
oh god.
when she looks up, a familiar pixie-haired vampire stares back at her with moony gold eyes.
"you've kept me waiting a long time," says Alice, pushing a plate of pancakes toward her.
time zips. back in bed. morning. 2006. Bella scrambles to school to tell Edward about the time skips.
ofc, it's hard to speak when you're being sucker-punched in the gut by your first love's painful breakup monologue.
instead of confessing, Bella says goodbye.
October. November. December. January.
as the wolves shift and Laurent stops in for a visit snack, Forks gets all gunked up with paranormal vibes. Bella warps further back for longer periods. 1935. 1933. 1911. 1863.
luckily, she often crosses paths with the Cullens. as humans, she knows, they won't remember her. it's cathartic to see them, if only for a few moments...but it's never enough.
she pulls increasingly dangerous stunts to keep traveling. motorcycling. chasing wolves. stalking vampires. on & on.
Bella dives off a cliff to chase the visions.
she smacks the water & warps to 1918.
human Edward Masen immediately falls in love with a drenched & shivering Bella Swan. over the evening, she falls in love with him. again. ugh.
but was it a time skip, or a near-death experience? she wakes up coughing water, Jake breathing life into her on the beach.
Alice returns. with a renewed love for Edward (ugh), Bella jets off to Italy to save him & meet the Volturi.
back in forks, the vote ignites a fiery rage she'd buried for months.
how could they do this to her? how could they break her heart & leave her behind when she needed them?? did they even stop to think about Laurent??? the wolves?! VICTORIA?!!
just as she lunges for Edward to rip his stupid face off, time unzips in front of them & she vanishes.
further back than she's ever gone.
London. 1640s.
human Carlisle tries using a silver cross to defend himself against a starving vampire while Bella looks on.
when the vampire's eyes find hers, the horror of what Bella has been doing settles in like a dense fog.
with each time skip, Bella seals their fate.
not only is Bella the thread that ties the Cullens together in time, but Bella aligns the stars for every member to become a vampire.
in the 1640s, she is the scent that pulls the starving vampire away from Carlisle.
in 1863, María sees Bella's warp & pursues her until she finds confederate Jasper Hale on his way to Galveston.
in 1911, her time skip startles 16 y.o. Esme out of a tree, breaking the girl's leg. she is treated by Dr. Cullen.
in 1918, a cold & wet Bella gives Edward the flu.
in 1933, Carlisle spots Bella on his way home from the hospital & finds her so eerily familiar he calls out & rushes to catch up. frightened by the commotion, Royce et al leave a dying Rosalie in the street.
in 1935, warping into a forest pisses off a huge black bear. Emmett saves her & subsequently gets mauled.
in 1950, she listens to Alice tell the story of her only human memory: prophesizing as a little girl about the "lady in the blue jeans" who comes to visit, to the horror & disgust of her superstitious parents. they throw her in an insane asylum.
now, in 2006, she reappears & falls at the Cullens' feet. her face reflects their looks of shock.
it was her. it was always her.
& all because she ditched Alice & Jasper to confront James at the ballet studio.
"oh god," she whispers from the floor in a broken voice. tears blur her vision. Bella looks up at the family of vampires. "i think i've made a terrible mistake."
#fuckmeyer legacy post#twilight#twilight fanfiction#twilight renaissance#bella swan#edward cullen#GUESS WHAT I FOUND IT'S MY FIC I FOUND IT AYAYAYAYA#so UFCKING HAPPY I FOUND THIS#this & In the Afterlight & the jasper/maria prequel are literally the only longfics i will/would ever write for this fandom#i dream about writing this fic OFTEN#any interest?#i know time travel fics can be kinda meh so genuinely asking. im not into the time travel au genre so not sure what's been done

Do you think Percy should be single? Or do you ship him with another character?
i don't think rick is particularly good at writing romances, so any endgame relationship he writes is going to annoy tf outta me. eventually.
i've rbed a few posts talking abt his proclivities when it comes to writing romances, but a special shout out to the "my partner is the only thing that matters in the world" that's typical of a romance novel. i'm not reading a romance novel on purpose. can we care abt other characters. and characterization. and the plot.
so, yes, i would rather percy (and literally every major character) be single bc of that.
#i don't think romances are necessary in any genre except romance. in any other genre they're an accessory. or should be.#and i'm aware what percy's love interests represent but also...those plot points exist anyway...without them...#also if they never get together then maybe rick would actually treat annabeth's abandonment issues seriously instead of#relegating it to a cute (allegedly) possessive trope#yeah i'm still salty rick resolved that w love triangles that ended w a suicide and an oath of celibacy 😑#anyway! to address the sort of implied question#this is gonna sound funny from someone w a ship url but i have no ship loyalty#i can imagine anything dot jpeg#answered#anti percabeth#<- i guess

A small but important question: Portal or TF2?
(As someone who enjoys both.)
Portal for the story, tf2 for the characters. Don't get me wrong, I love love love glados, but the mercs are just like looney tunes that you can stick into any scenario
(I agree, I also enjoy both)
#thanks for the ask!#i guess the thing with the mercs is they're like blank canvas for people to project anything onto#they have very defined personalities but they would fit perfectly into any genre. and their dynamic is very easy to grasp#ask

Ive seenyou mention wuxia a few times now and i wonder what that is. Would you mind explaining it to me?
not the most qualified person to explain this as i'm not, in fact, from china; but i've read a couple of wuxia so here goes:
wuxia is a genre of fiction from china specifically, about martial artists in ancient china. i don't think a specific time period is like required? obviously some dynasties are more popular but idk how it goes in that front. it just has to be Not Today and probably Too Long Ago. like pre industral revolution i think. again idk if that's a requirement, but most i've seen are from around the same relative murky pre-electricity era.
xianxia is a subgenre of wuxia that's specifically more fantasy-like, and it's not just martial arts, but also spiritual powers and cultivation (which i have no fucking clue how to explain without two hours and three tangents other than chinese magic system. if you've ever heard of chi/qi as an energy, it appears there). so like- genshin is by all accounts a xianxia, it just doesn't use the more common specific xianxia terms like cultivation. some of those are very weird to translate and probably not common for the average non-wuxia reader, so it makes sense why they're going for alternatives.
chongyun and xingqiu and xianyun are very much straight out of a xianxia. xianyun's entire story quest was the closest genshin has gotten to a straight xianxia plot so far. i highly reccomend ashikai's video on unnecessary visions if you want more info on why genshin is a xianxia hahah
cyanide narwhal has some talk of some stuff from xianxia, but that's mostly because well- fucking liyue, that's how it works there. the whole light energy striking down someone who's getting powerful and giving them godhood if they survive the strike is, while not exactly like that, something that happens in some xianxia as well. like the way adepti work in general is just very xianxia. ashikai does a much better job explaining it than i do tbh but yeah
TL;DR: wuxia is chinese martial arts fiction in ancient china, and xianxia is a wuxia subgenre with more magic elements. also genshin is a xianxia
#i was going to recomend some xianxia if you're curious but like#genuinely don't know which one is a good starting point#like i'm tempted to say just dive headfirst into mdzs like most of us did but like#is mdzs the best place to start if you know nothing? unsure#genuinely#given how it's made to feel more lighthearted and formatted more like it's a fucking videogame#svsss might be a good launching pad#but tbf it's been a while since i read it#also it has unskippable sex scenes (i think??) so like- if you don't want to read that you're kind of out of luck there#not that mdzs doesn't have that either but they're not literally Plot Relevant. like the plot does not hinge on their horizontal tango#there's probably a good wuxia to start out there but i can't really remember right now#like mdzs is the easiest to recomend bc it's trial by fire and you're going to come out of the other end knowing like 80% of it all#plus it's not nearly as traumatizing as some of the other options#and it's so easily accessible it's almost funny#like take your pick: novel. live action. animation. audio drama. comic#it's fucking everywhere and the fandom is fucking huge so that's a giant plus#but that doesn't change the fact that idk if you can watch a couple episodes to get a feel for the wuxia genre. like would that work??#so i guess i'll leave that to everyone else to comment with any recomendations if they have a good one#for like an introductory work#or just decide mdzs is just the easiest point of entry. that can always be it. i mean we all made it anyway

i don't know why i'm soooo drawn to misery. i feel like if i could get over this desire to seek out misery and this belief that i need to be suffering in some way at all times in order to be special and worthwhile then i would be miles more functional. but.... how....
#as in i love media about misery and suffering i looove angst as a genre LOL basically limitlessly i love#to read self indulgent gratiutous as fuck fanfiction about characters having the worst experiences imaginable i love#angsty whumpy stories about self harm and pretty much any kind of torment and then i also feel like i in real life need to be suffering#in some way#i don't know which of these came first or what it really says about me lol#that i don't have enough actual problems so i have to be always making them up for myself. i guess. haha

I also love haunted houses. What are your favorite stories about them?
Oh my god I have to physically restrain myself from just going on an entire tirade that I started typing up, but I'll leave you with a list of my absolute FAVORITES of all time so far:
For books, I cannot recommend House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson enough!! HoL is damn near perfect in every sense of the word, and tHoHH is what inspired me to get into more stories about horror and especially eldritch horror! HoL literally blew my mind the first time I read it and left me hooked that I couldn't put the book down, it's so good!!
For games, Anatomy by Kitty Horrorshow checks every box for my horror-loving heart! Fantastic writing, an unsettling tone and haunting narrative set with stylized graphics meant less to scare you and instead make you feel unease, I could go on and on!! My god some days I'll even pull up the monolog on youtube to listen to becuase it's That Damn Good!! Please PLEASE play this game if you're able, but if you can't I BEG you to watch a playthrough of it at the least!!
For a TV show, The Haunting of Hill House directed by Mike Flanagan is a damn nearly perfect story about grief and loss and love and hope, and saying I feel in love with this show after my first watch would be a MASSIVE understatement. In particular, episode six, Two Storms, is probably my favorite written episode I've watched for any TV show EVER; I could literally go for HOURS just about that one episode alone and how damn perfect every shot and spoken line and interactions between the characters are! But, in the sake of keeping this short, all I'll say for now is PLEASE watch this show! I've re-watched it so many times and it never stops amazing me, that's how good it is!
And finally for my all time Favorite horror movie, my obvious pick is going to be Skinamarink. I cannot put into proper words about just how deeply unsettling this movie was and how it reduced me to tears from both fear and dread alone. It legitimately scared me so bad I had to sleep with the lights on for a week afterwards. I don't know another movie that was both horrifying and heartbreaking as this one was, and I truly don't know how to describe it without feeling like I'm massively understating just how good this film is. I cant even bring myself to watch it more than twice just because it makes me feel so sick to my stomach, but in a good way! I also understand that this movie may not affect everyone like that as it did for me, but I ask that you give it a chance at least.
These are just a handful of my favorites of course, but again trying to keep this (relatively) short, or else I would be here all day rambling lol
#❓️#as im reading back through this im realizing just how Many of ny favorite horror stories are about grief#which like. probably isnt really surprising. (i think most of the horror genre is About grief and loss).#but i guess i never really thought about it until now. huh.#anyways thanks for the ask!#oh also also if anyone has any recommendations please let me know im always on the lookout for horror!!
