Posting this on main (after conversing with @maedhrosrussandol I judged it'd be worth it): some of us are on Dreamwidth! Don't be intimidated by the 'olds'. It's nice to be mid/late twenties like me and feel like a youngster. It's quieter though (not that I mind. And if people want more activity, well, they can create a blog, duh).
Silmarillion Writers' Guild and Stories of Arda are still active. Teitho has posted challenges for 2024 as well.
The Silmarillion fandom is collapsing.
Has anyone else noticed a lot of people leaving the silmarillion just general Tolkien fandom? Especially on tumblr. One of my favourite Silm blogs deleted their whole account and just disappeared. I’m seeing a lot of amazing creators put out their farewell statements. I absolutely don’t blame anyone who is choosing to leave and especially if it’s just because they’re not happy anymore or are moving on to other things. But I’m noticing that a lot of people are being very negative and some creators have explicitly stated that this has impacted them leaving and losing love and interest for something that once made them so happy because of all the negativity aimed at them. It’s so sad. Also wtf this is a hobby and some people are so demanding with creators like they’re not creating things unpaid and in their free time. Hating on people for what they love and find comfort in or calling them weird for liking and having different takes on certain FICTIONAL characters is disgusting and you’re absolutely the problem if you do that.
To any creators seeing this I just want you to know how much your work is and contribution is appreciated. Especially since it’s not that big of a fandom on here.

juvie buddies
#alek art#td duncan#td mal#total drama#total drama all stars#(if i want to get technical)#2024#duncan is around 15 here... mal is around 16#ive thought really hard about them these past few days . in my brain they actually knew each other and canon is different#duncan and mike got along really well. in juvie mal refused to speak to anyone about anything and would fight as many people as he could .#he wanted to stay in there and far away from home . they get roomed together and duncan is the first person who mal can talk to . he isnt#scared of him . he relates to him a lot . like -> wow we both act out for attention and people think we are terrible because of it#duncan being a mentally ill teenager seeing mal an also very mentally ill teenager thought 'i can fix him' . mike and duncan speak too here#i cant really see anyone else fronting besides those two . their brain was on lockdown and mike wanted out so bad . i see manitoba as a#gatekeeper so hed handle some sessions with their psych. i want to say they (duncan and mike) get moved to a psyche ward just because#i have more knowledge on being in one and how it goes ... but yeah i like duncan mal a lot . this art isnt ship whatsoever though 🙏 i dont#see them as a couple their dynamic is just better as friends imo#but anyways in all stars they obviously recognize each other but have an unspoken agreement not to say anything abt it#duncan is a known criminal but mike isnt like that . mike hadnt even told zoey about that part of his life . so duncan wanted to respect his#privacy -> then mal starts hurting people and he has to step in . mal isnt a good person by any means but i dont think he was that bad in#juvie . so duncan had to come to terms that his friend wasnt the same person he was years ago (in all stars duncan is ~18 and i think mike#is almost 20... so it had been a while since they last talked)#them getting each other like no other and being in pain because they couldnt really speak . i see them having a conversation still in moon#madness abt their past and history . god i just think abt them and their wasted potential wdym mike and duncan were in juvie together#duncan was in for trespassing or destruction of private property or something really dumb . mal fought his parent(s) and got in for assault#mal was already in when duncan was placed . and duncan was let out early on good behavior + his parents (dad) mostly did it to teach him a#lesson . wrong of them or otherwise . so mal was just kinda stuck there until they realized he was actually not right in the head . think he#knew abt their DID but was only diagnosed in juvie and had to go from there . tbh he shouldve been tried as an adult but td logic . doesnt#matter dw guys . mike gets the 'was put on random meds that made him go braindead' treatment bc that was me . post mental hospital abilify#had me messed up

watched usopp's little arc with defeating sugar and wow it took A LOT for him to turn back after running away to fight them again. but then later he finds out that she's awake and thinks about how he'll lose his memories of Luffy if he doesn't take care of her again, and IMMEDIATELY makes up his mind to shoot her from SO FAR AWAY?

i think the weirdest 2013 discourse brained doctor who take i've seen is people who came back to watch capaldi era, realised it's good and that they really like the twelveclara dynamic, identify all the things that are compelling about it but then say "moffat doesn't know he did this though." bc they can't budge from the position that he's a hack so they have to convince themselves it's, like, only accidentally good

the main difference between five and eleven is that five started out believing that he was terrible and gradually, slowly, almost to his dismay, learned that he was also great; and eleven started out believing unshakeably that he was great and then slowly, gradually, almost to his relief, learned that he was also terrible.
(this fallout is also the difference between six and twelve.)
#other than this they are very very deeply similar#both sets#phoenix#dw#lavender thoughts#yeah i know five took a lot of hits but i don't think they were ever surprising to him. four died FAILING to stop an apocalypse#and i think that stayed with him forever really#no the things that SURPRISED him though were all the times it turned out x historical figure that he really looked up to was really just hi#and that was horrible. that was devastating. the universe was supposed to have good in it.#the universe was supposed to be full of wonderful people doing wonderful things he wasn't supposed to be battling the darkness alone#and he isn't. but still.#he may see himself as a failure but in spite of it all he cannot avoid being great.#eleven on the other hand.#eleven is deeply used to this. eleven accepts it as the way the universe works and his role in it#river says ''that's the problem with good wizards in fairy stories - they always turn out to be him.'' and eleven doesn't even blink#just smiles#because it's true and he knows it#eleven is Hot Shit and he knows it as a fact of nature#knows it so completely that he can't get his head around being the baddie in someone else's story ----#even when that someone else is literally daleks and cybermen and sontarans and everyone he's always been against#no. he is so SURE he's the good guy that he doesn't understand what's happening even as the trap closes#he's still asking if they've come to ask him to save them as the locks tighten around him#(five would NEVER have been trapped by the pandorica because he would've seen it for what it was immediately)#and then. it never stops. the reinforcement from the universe that he isn't the pure force for good he thinks he is#a child is bred to kill him before he can destroy everything. he is hated and feared.#is he even good at all? the universe keeps relentlessly saying no no no until he finally gets the message#and that's heartbreaking of course it is#but... if he's a monster anyway then he doesn't have to try *so hard* NOT to be a monster#because it's stifling it's choking him - the pressure to be the archetypal hero All The Time#to PERFORM that all the time.

my dad is considering paying his beloved 25 year old employee/emotional affair partner’s income taxes to make a problem go away. this is obviously not going over well with my mother. in fact it may get us the rest of the way to her leaving! so that’s a father’s day for the books

and of course essential to me in thinking about this that past!even gravitates towards missy and the doctor and future!even gravitates towards saxon. for a bit, anyway.
#mostly so simm!master can say something about how missy is letting the doctor destroy who she is. they are. and future!even agrees with him.#the thing is that past!even Has stable ground because they’ve been around the master for. actually well. it’d be more accurate to say they#think they have stable ground because past!even thinks they’ve only been on this ship… maybe a year? because *someone* is feeding them#regeneration energy drip by drip and can’t let them catch onto that fact by noticing they aren’t aging so it’s good that said someone has a#fair hand in hypnotism. so anyway. believed stable ground. and they’ve *missed* the doctor. they have. he’s not their doctor but he’s The#doctor and that’s what matters and they’ve missed him so much and when he looks at them he doesn’t hate them. and missy intrigues them.#and in contrast future!even feels very fucking unsteady and has been boiling for years now and. really Bill in trouble is the snapping point#probably. for them. because you know how the doctor is trying to talk that guy down and all before he shoots bill. yeah. so see the thing is#that even also has a gun.#anyway. what im saying is that simm!master is reliable in his assholery and the fact that he knows how to Survive and even agrees with him#about the doctor leading missy slowly to her death by making her a better person. which. that part they’re right about. if not for the#reasons they thought. but if missy was just a little worse. a little less like the doctor. then her past self wouldn’t have had the chance#to even take aim. but she is. she wants to make a point. she wants to put that point in his head the way the doctor does. they *will* stand#with him. and that little speech? that gets her killed. that and turning her back on him.#so im putting this together slow is what im saying but something is certainly coming about#dw oc

theres a lot abt post-ph ive never really mentioned. grants theres also a lot i havent figured out
#i only have a handful of arcs and scenes properly figured out i need to get my shit together with this. im def deleting this later#anyways. i dont think ive mentioned anything abt linebeck being more or less immortal#in the sense that like. he cant be killed through combat means. its some weird healing magic shit#specifically started with the intent that it lets me tear him apart repeatedly but its fine bc he heals anyways#with the limits of like. poison and sickness and certain things CAN kill him. but he can like. get disemboweled and its fine#im gonna delete this later im jsut thinking sbt it#i remember while talking to it with a friend he asked ok so how does it work if he gets torn evenly in half#cuz my logic is like. say he gets an arm cut off. the lost arm decays like normal and a new one kinda just slowly grows in bones first#so his question is one ive been thinking sbt since i need to come up with a good answer#anyways linebeck is fucked post ph hes got insane healing shit due to uhhhh reasons (i know the reasons) but hes still made of papier mache#so its like. bellum is more or less indestructible so hes the only actual immortal#while linebeck is just. prone to being a little more reckless. i need to tweak story stuff. hes the worst in combat#so hes very down to like. cutting a hand open to give bellum some of his blood. its fine itll heal in like an hour#the idea is that the healing becomes faster the longer it is since he gets that ability but there is a ceiling#its like a mixture between technically having phantom blood and some other god-ish deity interference i need to zero in on it dw#look i need it so that he can be covered in his own blood and in agony several times without like. him actually fucking dying from it

christ alive what an episode though
#overall i'm REALLY happy#but the bigeneration was a bad move and unless they come back to that and have 14 regenerate properly and/or fuse back into 15 i'm like#never gonna be happy abt that aspect#it's also just a bad LOOK. ur first (main timeline) black dr and ur just... gonna make his first scene all about the previous dr?#when the previous dr's actor has already had not one but TWO initial just-regenerated scenes??#like... why would you do that#the regeneration scene up TO the regeneration is for the outgoing dr#everything AFTER the regeneration should be all about the INCOMING dr. it's their introduction! it's a BIG DEAL!#and absolutely none of that was about gatwa's dr ALL of the emotional focus was on tennant's dr#not to say gatwa didn't shine! absolutely he did! but the scene wasnt about him. it was entirely abt tennant dr's emotional & narrative arc#AND. even that aside. it's just stupid to have 2 drs and 2 tardises#and it's ABSURD to just keep cloning the dr as a form of emotional resolution. rtd has done it TWICE now. what are they a LIZARD#if you want the dr in 2 places at once theres an easy mechanic for that. its a show about time travel. the solution is obvious#and also like. one of the central themes of the show is change & renewal what the FUCK are u doing. thats NOT change OR renewal#anyway uh. to conclude. bigeneration bad#HOWEVER. gatwa and tennant together in those scenes. INCREDIBLY good#it isnt the end result i dislike it's the method#also i am very excited for gatwa i love his dr so much already#dw spoilers#dr who

one thing I'm genuinely starting to find annoying is the people who actually underestimate how good quackity can be at minecraft when he wants to, and then refuse to listen even when they're told about it or showed clips. because he's good at the game he just prefers to roleplay 99% of the time, but the 1% he tries he's fucking good. and sure, he doesn't know every game mechanic or whatever but that doesn't mean he's bad lmao, there is a balance and he fits right in that space 👍🏻
tldr im tired of people who have never watched any of quackity's other stuff pretend like they actually know what kind of player is and refuse to listen to those who do watch him

currently having a hamilton moment .
#relistened to the full soundtrack. rewatched the proshot (not on D+ dw). im ill#yes its problematic dw I KNOW I KNOW. but it is my problematic fav and i will not lie to you and say i dont love this shit to my core#this shit makes me fucking batshit insane it is srsly a fucking masterpiece#dont get me started or i will talk about it for 5 trillion years. the fucking DETAILS MAN. IN EVERYTHING#THE MOTIFS IN THE MUSIC. THE VISUALS AND CHOREOGRAPHY AND BLOCKING. THE STORYTELLING#i cannot name a single other piece of media that is SO fucking cohesive in how everything relates to everything and everything#always comes back but changes in little ways and its all so circular and. GAHHHHHHHHHH im seriously goingto lose it#i feel like i notice something new every time its crazy. how did i never realize the emphasis on ''time'' when the full cast sings it in#the very beginning lined up directly parallels how they put emphasis on ''time'' in who lives who dies who tells your story#and dont get me fucking started on burr. oh my god. i could talk for YEARSSSSSS about his character and how well written he is and how#he and hamilton parallel each other and how their duel looms over the entire musical like its an unescapable prophecy.#''we keep meeting'' EVERYONE DIE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyways. sorry. i need to be put down. bye#serena.txt#also i can still remember the exact time phillip's heart stops in stay alive reprise despite it having been like 2 years#<- what does this say about society.

@frigidboy mad in the tags again. sorry it is my nature. u activated my sleeper agent trigger
I should note, I hate the soulmates "we would fall in love in every universe" trope for the aforementioned "where's the tension and interest and really anything worthwhile" reasons. However, "we would find each other in every universe" fucking rips. We would interact meaningfully in every universe but sometimes we are lovers and sometimes we are friends and sometimes we are bitter enemies and sometimes we'd simply both be in the same HOA.
#there’s an x files episode about this#< PREV. have u any idea how much this fucked me up#The Field Where I Died is EASILY. EASILY. top 5 X-Files episodes#yeah soul mates exist here is Mulder's. too bad they can't be together in any lifetime#also it's not Scully. cope#the way Mulder himself says 'souls mate eternal' though like. choice is part of it!!!#his soul mate dies before his eyes (almost) & he still carries on every day! with Scully!#'with Scully' being the key part of that sentence 👀#also how in every life she's some sort of paternalistic mentor to him#Mulder moaning tears rolling 'my father is dead at my feet. he is Scully [...] my sergeant is dead too. he is Scully'#IN EVERY LIFE she dies before him. he is standing there looking at her body in the moments before he dies#in every life he fails to save Samantha & his soul mate is torn from him & he watches Scully die. I Am Normal About This Show#anyway kudos to Chris Carter on this one#'soul mates exist. who give a shit' is the only unique take I've seen on soulmate stories & I have to give him props for that lmao#for personal reasons ♠️#literally THE slow burn m/f colleagues to lovers deranged folie à deux quest obsessed somewhat mad devotees narrative of the century#THE BLUEPRINT ITSELF#& he's like yeah but they're not soul mates. dw abt it#ICONIC LMAOOO#also 'the souls come back together... different but together... again & again... to learn'#fundamentally shaped me as a person :)#also Cancer Man being a fucking gestapo officer??? 'evil returns as evil' this bitch is so dropkickable in every life ig lmaooo#so yeah they set up a whole team squad soul mates dynamic affair#never comes up again#god I love this show (mortified)#The X-Files#dynamics#frigidboy
