#but it's a fascinating concept

[aparticularbandit]

the thing is i'm gonna finish fruits basket and want to write a fic about akito post-series and i do not have the cultural knowledge to do so adequately.

but akito having to learn how to be whoever - whatever - akito wants to be outside of the curse is just.

a fascinating concept.

yknow i dont go here but sometimes i gotta go: seriously respect clowns. they have the worst pop culture representation in the world and also the best most thorough honor code. they're just here to be silly little guys who bring joy and are very conscientious about doing so responsibly. let them to their merriment in peace you dont hafta take potshots. i dont go here but like maybe i should, you all seem super chill

I've noticed that some authors have favorite/commonly used words. Terry Pratchett seemed to favor "susurrus", and I've noticed "apotheosis" occur in your writing a few times. Is this conscious for you/ do you have any other words you really like?

Look, mate, if you know any other good words for emerging from a metaphorical chrysalis into a form of being almost godlike in its power, thus irrevocably severing oneself from the mortal world in ways both awe-inspiring and tragic, then I'd be happy to use 'em.

(tw unreality!)

ayo new theory just dropped and bad news! the implications are cosmically horrifying

in the bulletin from time baby in book of bill, he says bill is a “danger to narrativity”, and that he risks the fourth wall. this kept bothering me. why reference the fourth wall here? why have time baby reference it? yeah the heaven page and shit is a bit meta, but thats just how bill talks, right? Well i was a fool

when you put “seven eyes” into the lost files site, this warning pops up from the oracle question mark? from journal three:

the therapese at the bottom translates to “set coords for dimension: r34lity”.

and putting r34lity into the website gives us this image:

the text below it reads they found a new home. those are “real” fucking images. the henchmaniacs are in our “reality”. the cryptids page might not have been a goof goof bit- they were “real”. (“real” meaning our reality in the book of bill sense of it but still our reality. is that tracking.)

none of the rest of the cast actually references us as a specific audience, or the fandom, or acts like we know them at all. the cast addresses everything they write to a mystery “reader” who needs to be saved from the book’s influence.

meanwhile, in the book of bill:

because bill’s not talking to a mystery “reader” who’s reading this book.

bill fucking sees us.

bill sees reality. REALITY reality. like this earth the one with alex hirsch and gravity falls the show and tiktok and shit. book of bill is a book in our reality for us the reader. (ie. there’s a reference to “they both reached for the gun” if you put gun in the website, which would only make sense if bill was sentient in this “reality” right now.) and someone is trying to get here to hide from him. maybe they’re already here.

I've been getting into X-Men lately! Or, well. One specific X-Man.

Discovering that crocs have modes

Fascinating dynamic. Too bad we don't see much of it in the manga itself.

Cithis gets assigned the job of taking care of Mithrun, perhaps due to her powers of persuasion - not that they were needed, giving his utter passivity. Her first idea is to make a game out of it, humiliating Mithrun for her own amusement: Mithrun obeyed without resistance, as he couldn't care about anything, which in turn bored Cithis due to the lack of challenge.

The only time Mithrun showed resistance was when Cithis crossed the line and ordered him to hurt Pattadol for no good reason. It was the only time an order of hers entered in conflict to the one desire left in Mithrun: working with the Canaries to find and kill the demon he so despises.

And this one act of rebellion made Cithis stand down and finally treat Mithrun not as a cute pet, but as a person.

It says a lot about both of them, I think, that Cithis couldn't wait to abuse her power over her own captain but still respected his rebellion, and that Mithrun is fragile because he's almost at the complete whims of anyone who takes care of him, but he's not as spineless as others might think, because his one drive is unbendable. There is a compelling switch of power, here.

i like to think they actually change how they look every rift event come, i mean it would get boring to wear the same things for so long, and it does look like Thespius can Wear other clothes after all, so Mitter didnt ALWAYS wear the black ensemble, honestly she was barely covered when she first ascended, only covered by a funerary cloth.

every time a tumblr post mlb rewrite mentions the fact that they're taking out marinette's 'obsessive stalker' characteristics an angel gets run over by a steamroller and fucking dies

Neil gaiman is a Zionist :(

this is so funny because if you google "neil gaiman zionist" nearly all of the links are to unsourced tumblr posts or responses to a single tweet from 2015 that just acknowledges Israel's existence

I see gaiman has once again committed the heinous crime of Being Jewish When Israel Is In The News

It's sorta astounding that Persona 4 had passable-to-decent narratives about a gay guy coming to terms with his feelings about gender roles, a confused homophobe who has the ability to come out to the player romantically implying his behavior was some kind of self-loathing, a pair of girls fixated on one another with one of them calling the other her 'strong prince' while fantasizing about being rescued and swept off of her feet and a trans man with a literal manifestation of his inner self being dysphoric and obsessed with gender surgery before transforming into a literal god of healing upon being accepted all in the same game and they backtracked on literally all of that in the most comedically inept ways possible

It froze csp once and crashed csp right when I’m finished so I had to redo some things I. I couldn’t figure out what to draw for his outfit, bro was swag and gender but I was ready to eat my screen from frustration when I read the wiki (trying to avoid possible spoilers as much as I could) and saw that it had SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR I couldn’t bring myself to erase tho

Anyways I have to sleep with the knowledge that I had to stop literally 1 second into listening to MAG 117. Like. Not even a single word was heard before oh bed time COME ON 116 HAD ME ON MY TOES AND THEN AND AND THEJWHWHEB dissolving into a puddle and seeping thru the earth as we speak??

If we all work together we can make a Venom story where the symbiote makes Eddie transgender
