#literally so ecstatic that book ideas keep coming to me and getting life breathed into them#I’ve had this book series on the back burner for over a decade#just waiting for it all to click#I’ve tried to force it to click a few times and it never would#but the ideas just won’t!!! stop!!! coming now!!! once everything fit into place#before I had a barebones idea for a first book with (extremely extremely) loose ideas for the second and third books#like oh in book 2 they leave their city and in book 3 they come back#but now the central themes and symbolism of the first book have all clicked into place and the story makes SO MUCH SENSE#and!!! I understand the theme of the three books together now!!#and the second book’s plot just keeps hitting me in waves and it’s SO INTERESTING#I really love the symbolism of it#took me a second to get used to it but I really love it now#I’ve even found the passages to include at the front of the books that authors always do for cool fiction novels#at least for books 1 and 2#the titles of the books also came to me which is GREAT bc I only had the first one originally#and the second book?? it’s missing one central piece - what the society they enter looks like#it needs a central monument or image for the reader to latch onto#but the rest built around it is??? so good???#my book 3 is still relatively barebones but I think that’s probably good#I now understand what the theme of the third book will be and some pivotal scenes that drive it home#the rest should probably wait until the first two books are cemented in#but??? idk I’m just so excited??? I think these books could be a big deal#like they just have a certain quality about them that makes me very excited lol#now to just get all of this on to a paper

cant stop thinkin bout charles and erik readin together on the couch but instead of reading with him charles is listening to eriks thoughts while he reads. Live mind commentary ……..
#xmen#cherik#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#snap chats#the rare time i post an idea of mine only because i really cant think of a way id draw this#usually i hoard my ideas cause i like surprising you guys but this aint really one i feel like drawing so. For You my friends#like i COULD but. idk just isnt particularly something im itching to draw it just seems cute#but anyways no chat let me cook alright hear me out cause i talk in my brain all the time while i read#sometimes i stop reading just to think about a bit i read yeah#i want charles to listen in on all of eriks side comments or observations he makes while reading something#like if he wanted to charles could read the whole book in less than five minutes- maybe shorter than that#and that aint fun that aint cool …. so time for Audible: Husband Edition. With Commentary#ITD BE SO COZY just hangin out by the fireplace …. maybe its snowin outisde … if snow even exists anymore atp#a light fire cracklin and the study SEEMS totally quiet otherwise and yet…..#charles has been locked in to erik’s off-the-cuff literary analysis and mild comments for the past twenty minutes. its simple but its bliss#charles doesnt have to worry about being seen as invasive .. he doesnt have to suppress his powers …#the rare occasion erik lets charles into his mind for somethin so innocent .. ive made myself sick i fear#see now i wanna try writing a fic but 1.) have written in years 2.) id have to really think hard on how erik would commentate on a book#hm…… actually i do wonder what erik’s commentary on The Fable of the Bees would be …..#IN ANY CASE. maybe - at the very least- i can draw cherik by the fireplce someday ….#thatd be cute … hm …. depends on if i get in the mood for it down the line#anyways i have to drive back to my dorm !!! boo !!!! so good night everyone !!!!!

zolf smith is so relatable actually
today a friend of mine was really rude when i mentioned having read a romance book over the weekend, implying that it wasn't "intellectual" enough and judging both me and the book despite not even having read it
and now i completely understand zolf's decision to leave the london rangers after hamid critiqued harrison cambell's novels
#the whole thing is funnier now that i've drawn the comparison to zolf#however!#i am still really annoyed at that friend#i was like “ooh yea i read a book about a gay ace romance between a human and a robot”#and her reaction was like “umm sounds like colleen hoover”#“you must not have been able to find anything better to read”#and i was like “i really liked it actually”#and then she proceeded to ask me if i'd read any classical novels??#i mean i have#but like#why do i suddenly need to prove my worth as a reader to you?#apparently she also said something weird/judgmental about another girl reading smut#idk i like her normally but that was pretty fucked up behaviour imo#because 1. why is she judging a book she hasn't read and has only heard a one sentence summary of as if she knows exactly what it's like#2. why is she then interrogating me about other books i read#3. why is she also judging someone else for reading smut#anywayyyyyy#at least my other friend had my back#rqg#personal post#the book was in the lives of puppets by tj klune btw#and it is really good!!#read it if you want to enjoy a great novel#or if you want to piss off my friend apparently

So, a Kataang fan made a post about a week ago "asking" (rhetorically, of course) why it's a bad thing Katara acts like Aang's mom. And I just-
First of all, isn't that something that Kataang shippers have been trying to actively dispute for almost two decades at this point? That Katara doesn't treat Aang as a younger brother/son? There's literally an entire post about it from The Headband that's made its rounds on almost every single social media platform.

So which is it, besties? Does Katara act motherly towards Aang or not?
(The answer is yes of course, as The Runaway outright confirms it multiple times. The whole premise of that episode is that Katata acts as a mother to Toph, Sokka, and Aang)
Now, why is it a problem? The fact that I have to explain this is telling for how little a lot of Kataang shippers understand Katara.
Katara was parentified. She took care of Sokka (by his own admission) as well as her entire village after Hakoda left. Even before then really, as she says in the very first episode that she's been doing all the chores around the village since their mother died which was years before that. She was delivering literal babies while basically being a baby herself.
Traveling- and being- with Aang is supposed to represent her freedom and childhood, right? That's what the first episode shows us and what Kataang is built on. But if anything, it has the opposite effect.
Book 1 wasn't terrible. Katara was very free-spirited and joyful in addition to being caring and empathetic. Her and Aang could still goof off together, even if she was doing her best to support him emotionally. You could easily see that as her being a good friend.
But somewhere between Books 2 and 3, that changed. Katara went from being his supportive friend to being his emotional crutch. During The Desert, she bears the brunt of him lashing out (he does yell at Toph once, but he's the most volatile with Katara). He also gets frustrated with her during Sozin's Comet, even though Zuko and Sokka were the ones pushing him. It's always Katara who has to bring him back when he loses control of the Avatar State, risking her own safety.
(This isn't emotional, but it was Katara who healed Aang after Azula's attack. She was the one who stayed by his side, staying awake for hours to make sure he would be okay. I like to look at it as a physical representation of their relationship. Aang's wellbeing is always put on her shoulders. If she isn't there to lift him up, he'll fall. And if he falls, the world falls. No 14 year old should be responsible for that. But it's so easy for the show- and y'all- to shove it onto her because this part of her character is never addressed. It's just used as a testament to her caring nature)
Even without Katara's parentification, this causes a major imbalance in their relationship. It puts Katara in charge of managing Aang's pain and being emotionally unsupported in return. The Southern Raiders is proof that Katara can't depend on Aang emotionally the way he does her. She's been his shoulder to cry on through everything and the one time the tables turned, she couldn't even get that from him.
And the saddest thing about this? Katara says to him, "I knew you wouldn't understand." She never expected Aang to support her. She's become so accustomed to being there for others that she's never once expected anyone to do the same for her, least of all Aang.
(But Zuko does. He's the only one who recognized Katara's pain- admittedly, mostly because it was directed at him- and tried to help her. Without being prompted. I gotta give this one to the Zutara folks)
In what world is this dynamic healthy for a romantic relationship?
#anti kataang#anti kataang shippers#i had to process that post for 3-5 business days#i was flabbergasted#aang critical#i really don't hate aang#at least not in books 1 & 2#but pushing kataang ruined his character#i might make an analysis on that later#but this isn't about him#criticizing kataang and criticizing aang are two different things for me#because kataang is awful all around#and aang WAS a good character until bryke ruined him#anti bryke#parentification#pro katara#katara deserved better

It does continue to surprise me how young the kuroshitsuji fandom is, given how old the anime is and how inaccessible it is.
#i mean. only a very small portion of season 1 is canon. season 2 is nonsense.#and tracking down book of murder will give you at least 6 viruses and probably tell the emperor of Japan your exact coordinates#black butler#kuroshitsuji#sebastian michaelis#ciel phantomhive#yapping#it just seems wild how many youth willingly go through that shit show just to watch Ciel give his classmates diarrhea in the name of cricket#like i see so many posts that are like “is season 2 filler???? or is it just bad?” and its like. neither#its a secret third thing (fanfiction)

Adolin made me cry about three separate times
#wren rambles#wind and truth#stormlight archive#wind and truth spoilers#1. him Getting Up Again to fight the stoneclast thingy#2. him Making a Stand as the dome fell#3. Him creating the Unbound#4. the sheer act of switching to his pov knowing he doesnt know hes lost his father his best friend AND possibly his wife#kaladin did not make me CRY exactly#more like scream in silent agony and tear my heart in two#at least he has syl#and book 6 is a 15 year time juml#so we MIGHT get a reunion#also did NOT see 12124 being Aux but good for him i guess

if we assume that each of the three pillars comes exactly three times for a total of nine times, and we know that the 7th time it was the 40-year guardian, and if we assume that was her final visit and the last two visits will be split between the 30-year guardian and the 8-year guardian, we can calculate how long ago the miharu family made that deal: (40x3)+(30x2)+(8x2)=196 years. 196 years ago it was 1828, but i think this is supposed to be set in the 1980s or 90s, so call it the late 1700s. that's the kind of thing matoba as the head of the matoba clan has to concern himself with - deals with youkai made by people 200 years ago from families that don't even exist anymore. it's an interesting contrast to the thing he says to natsume at the end of this arc, about the 9th visit, which is 30 years away, being someone else's problem. he's embroiled in the past but doesn't even think he'll get to have a future.
#however i don't think we can assume either 1) that each of the 3 pillars comes exactly 3 times#or 2) that the 7th visit was the 40-year guardian's final visit#based on the end of the arc when natsume asks who will come for the final visit and specifically asks if it will be#the 40-year guardian again. and matoba is just like idk not my problem#if they each come 3x then he should be able to predict which it will be for the 9th visit by process of elimination#(unless the miharu records are missing or something)#and if the 40-year guardian has already done all her tours then matoba should at least be able to say it won't be her. and he doesn't#but i still think 196 is a reasonable ballpark just because we know there have been 7 out of 9 visits#and they're splitting it between them in some way even if not perfectly equally#natsume's book of friends#natsume yuujinchou#matoba seiji#natsuyuu meta#miharu loquats arc#my posts#i think the only assumption we can safely make is that it's never the same guardian two times in a row#i guess the lower bound would be if the 8-year guardian and the 30-year guardian took turns for the first 6 visits#that would be (8x3)+(30x3)+40=154 years#and the upper bound would be if the 40-year guardian started and then switched off with the 30-year guardian up to visit 7#that would be (40x4)+(30x3)=250 years#both of which seem highly unlikely. so the reality has to be between those two extremes and 196 seems pretty reasonable#and in any case even if it was only 154 years ago...that's still a really long time ago

idk what the overarching plan the writers have for IWTV AMC is but it seems to me if they're going to adapt anything from after qotd they're probably going to weave it into the pre-qotd plotline (just, because qotd is the most obvious finale they could ask for and i don't think they're looking to adapt all 13 books directly) so like. guys can you imagine if they moved armand's suicide attempt to between s2 and s3
#armandposting#armand showing up mid-way through s3 with 2 kids and a smoothie after not having been seen for 3 years. yeah#like i think post-divorce is interesting territory for armand bcuz its just. So different to the books i highly doubt theyre just gna#have him terrorising new orleans (and depressionstat) like he does in the books#also the stuff with daniel works differently cuz he stumbles across daniel A While after the divorce in the books after having formed#no prior relationship to him. then follows him round the world for 12 years#but in the show 1) daniel is Responsible for the divorce 2) when armand disappears it's After he turns daniel#and so 3) his arc post-divorce is founded on his abandonment of daniel Not his relationship with him. at least as far as the 2 year#timeskip is concerned#so yeah armand is either out there self-actualising for the first time in centuries after the divorce#or he's killing himself🧡and failing and adopting two kids. it's one of those two things guys Trust me#tvc spoilers#iwtv amc#iwtv#thunder rambles

watched saltburn. if i was someone who liked unearned twists that were simultaneously not even a surprise and also i wanted to fuck jacob elordi im sure i would’ve loved it. 4/10 could’ve been worse, overall forgettable
#also lmfao everyone was going on about the bath scene but like.#1. my tumblr mutuals are writing grosser stuff every day (mwah)#2. that was the first point in the movie where i felt like literally any of the characters expressed any kind of strong emotion or desire#like up until that point it was just kind of. people doing things and i was completely emotionally uninvested#tbh my review is: would’ve been much better as a book where we could’ve had an internal monologue#make it a character study instead of whatever that was supposed to be#promising young woman was so disappointing too :/ at least this time I didn’t expect much#op

DESPAIR IS THE ENEMY. DO NOT LET IT DEFEAT YOU.
#crazyyyyyyy how i always thought of that theme as something specific to the later books but it's been here in book 2 the whole time#and then nanion says ‘no cause is lost while brave souls live and do not despair’ at the end of the book#lief immediately recognizing music is the answer is so real.#inch resting how music in series 1 and 2 is a beautiful and hopeful thing#but in series 3 with the sisters it's a tool for evil. and with the masked ones it's not outright evil but at the very least ominous#dq liveblog#the lake of tears

"Madam Yu would be a Karen/ treat minimum wage employees like shit-" literally the only servant she's shown abusing is Wei Wuxian (and that's because he's the victim of a proxy war between her and Jiang Fengmian around the idea of him being adopted into the family, not because of his class). Madam Yu's two handmaid's love and respect her, and Madam Yu actually defends them when Wang Lingjiao tries being a Karen to them. She also tells Wang Lingjiao to fuck off when she demands the Jiang servants bring her tea.
Also, Karens are unpleasant women, but not all unpleasant women are Karens. That term is about entitlement and being unreasonable (and often times, racist). Madam Yu is mean and unpleasant to talk to, but she keeps most of her interactions brief and probably doesn't have the time or mental energy to be a Karen or hold a grudge that long. If you want an actual example of a Karen in mdzs, Wang Lingjiao is right there
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#grand master of demonic cultivation#for those confused on who I'm arguing against- this is about comments left on the “who'd be more insufferable online” tournament#I'll stop writing Madam Yu defense posts when y'all start actually looking at how she's described in the books#you guys just parrot and amplify the same “woman mean” narrative about her and its frustrating#I'm convinced most of you dont even read what she says or know she has motivations#and because i get at least one person going “so you're excusing child abuse” every time I talk about her-#No. I am not defending or excusing any of the bs she's actually done in canon#child abuse bad. theres just a lot of misinformation out there on what that abuse actually entailed#1 or 2 lashes that do not break the skin + shit talking and kneeling is a different punishment from whipping someone till they can't move#the former was her usual interaction with wwx. the later was an act to get the wens to fuck off#also can you guys please acknowledge the fact she was incredibly angry and on edge in canon because a war was about to start#and her kids and clan (but especially her kids) were being put in active danger#and that her ranting sessions happened around her family and she was venting#and that she's shown being cordial to unrelated people#she's a well respected figure. that wouldn't happen if she was a karen#and if we're looking at a modern au where there isnt a war happening she probably wouldnt be as on edge
