Okay you shouldn't have to but i would love to hear how Socqueline is to Alya what Zoé is to Chloé and Adrien 🫣 that intrigues me

you are so right but here it is. here is the earth. damn that is a sweet earth you might say. ROUND. but

the ml writers don’t think so. they are le tired. fire ze missiles! they are zoe and socqueline and it is season 5. the missiles are laser targeted to the gaps in the narrative that adrien, chloe, and alya could have filled. maybe all blondes with shitty parents are interchangeable. maybe marinette can just switch one savior for another. maybe the fans won’t notice that the characters they’ve been invested in since season one have their screen time and purpose split with a character who was just introduced. and if they do notice, those fans are just salty and not real fans so we can dismiss them. who cares that they’ve spent countless words and energy defending their faves for the first 3 seasons if they’re not willing to automatically love these new characters that we tell them to love without question.

admittedly. i am an alya stan and not a chloe stan. so i have my own biases! but zoe and socqueline and both late additions that we are told we are supposed to like, even as they take screen time and meaning away from the characters we’ve spent years invested in. they aren’t bad characters but they haven’t earned the loyalty the show wants us to give them. and they aren’t worth pushing the characters we are already invested in - for better or worse - to the back burner.

i remember some anon told me i wrote sigh, or my wrist hurts and they went off. but seriously that’s how i talk, that’s how most ppl on tumblr speak ngl 😭💀. i mean this side, plus loa and such everyone talks pretty much normally. yet other “normal” side of fandoms and such. every writer you’d see screams in the tags. very expressive ppl generally. even ppl tell me that the way i talk is quite animated 💀. i’m sorry for being too expressive, anon.

Last Line Tag

As always, I'm behind with tag games, so apologies @sarahlizziewrites for taking so long to respond to your tag Passing it onto @ryns-ramblings @tate-lin @arowanaprincess @thecatsgravewrites @kyofsonder and leaving an open tag as always :)

I'm avoiding editing, so of course, I've been super productive and managing to write like mad for the first time in ages! I feel like I've finally broken through the boring bits of Blood Enforcer and getting to the good stuff, which also helps with motivation!

“That’s new,” Anton ran his fingers over the scar tissue, following the lines of the lion-headed serpent that coiled round to eat its tail, its wings spread wide, circling his bicep. “It’s an Archeon’s seal, but not one I recognise.”

sometimes  I  wish  there  was  an  actual  movie/documentary  about  the  life  of  malachai  evans  *&  the  found  footage  that was  found  on  their  camera  +  their  friend’s  camera  as  their  bodies  went  missing  .  .  to  see  the  absolute  difference  between  how  sweet  they  all  were,  how  carefree  they  were  exploring  the  woods  —  to  how  terrified  they  were  *&  how  they  were  screaming  for  help  knowing  there  was  no  one  out  there  to  save  them  .  .  they  were  doomed  the  moment  they  walked  down  that  closed  off  path,  *&  I  feel  so  bad  for  that  entire  group  but  knowing  that  all  of  them  aren’t  in  pain  anymore,  excluding  kai,  is  definitely  a  good  thing

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.
