a lot of the time and I mean like once per week I somewhat wish that I wrote ship fics like a normal person instead of x reader. the problem is. I am not normal
#definitely feel like x reader fics are nowhere near as respected or appreciated as other fics#and this is not a new development at all#I don't really read ship fics because#I don't really ship anything......... lol#but on the rare occasions where I do#it seems like people always appreciate the writing in those fics way more#not just where popularity is concerned#but it's much more likely to see comments of people praising what they liked about the writing#even on smut fics#but for x reader it's very rare#I think a lot of people are shy to comment and I get that#because before I became a writer I was too#literally almost everything I have ever written and probably ever will write I write for me#because I enjoy it and writing about me and my silly characters is what makes me happy#but uuuggggggh#it feels so so good to have someone say what they liked about your writing#it makes me feel like oh. all of this isn't just a time waste#and even though writing is the most freeing feeling in the world#there is a clear pain and disappointment sometimes#when you make something where it feels like no one understands but you#the only solution!!!! is to write what you want and not care!!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon
#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays#if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone#because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page#but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source#because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it#and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but#on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway#someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those#if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link#to my etsy#I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside#like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth#like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back#or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info#about what the art is and who made it and their links#I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful#and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited#but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue#reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing#as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen!#that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB#A JOB!!!!!!!!!!#sergle.txt#I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

if you look at how i talk about all my other interests you should take my complete lack of haterisms for rvb as a glowing endorsement
#og post#i do have haterisms for rvb but it is a rare occasion where i genuinely believe everything else outshines them#how much of that is nostalgia talking? HOPEFULLY VERY LITTLE

my wife and i saw you from across the bar and we absolutely hate your vibe we were wondering what the fuck is wrong with you
don’t mind the Extremely out of character art. this is based on a completely scrapped concept from the LoP story that i still think about and wanted to do a fuller pic of anyway (as opposed to the sketches i’d done before). can you believe it’s taken me this long to finally finish a drawing of anteros in an evening gown
#it’s a funny concept if for no other reason than ppl are gonna see anteros w troy n be like#wow chief bradshaw’s wife is so hot did she lose a bet#this is like AU of santo ileso blues AU where instead of like. living in the middle of nowhere being nobodies they just become high rollers#hell maybe anteros has a job he needs to do and it involves something like this.#i like to think on rare occasions he asks troy to do something w him for his hit jobs#this is getting away from me. anyway.#my art tag#santo ileso blues au tag#also in case you’re wondering anteros’ burn scars are covered w makeup and his shawl

thoughts on Su Minshan??
I actually recently did a post on SMS, so feel free to stick another token in the slot machine that is my askbox if you want. But I suppose I can build on it a little. There's one thing I brought up in there that probably does deserve more attention, and that is ...
Why, oh why, does fandom assume that SMS is unmarried when it is literally impossible that he would be single and childless? Like, this blows my mind.
Things that are clearly established by canon:
1. The jianghu operates under a clan system rather than a genre-typical pure sect system. Bloodlines are crucially important and the leadership of clans is generally passed from father to son or another close male relative, though women do rarely also obtain positions of power.
2. This system was introduced a couple of centuries earlier by Wen Mao, but is now so embedded that XXC and SL's shared vision of a merit-based sect where bloodlines are irrelevant is considered a distant and idealistic dream.
3. XXC receives numerous invitations to join clans due to his stellar reputation, and turns them all down due to this principle. He could have taken an important role in these clans but would never have been able to inherit or lead. Despite his incredible reputation, during the period of time in which he is travelling the jianghu in his pre-eye gouging days, neither he nor SL take a single disciple. This strongly indicates that even someone of literally impeccable standing couldn't even begin to get an independent merit-based sect off the ground.
... but I am supposed to believe that SMS somehow achieved this? That he left the Lan and founded his own sect with a gang of disgruntled tone deaf pals and that's the end of it? Absolutely not. He founded the Moling Su (the name itself is a big clue) in the traditional manner. He probably did involve some of his own blood relatives from the off to bulk his numbers, but even so, he's clan leader and the first thing a nascent and highly vulnerable new clan needs is heirs. SMS is absolutely married and a father to multiple children. Those children are the literal future of his clan and its very existence depends on them.
Of course his wife and children aren't explicitly mentioned by the narrative, because he's a supporting character whose function in the narrative revolves around his loyalty to JGY and his grudges against [insert list here], and his home life is irrelevant. Su-furen is either at home in Moling holding the fort; or, less likely, she's amongst the cultivators he brings to the Burial Mounds and could even potentially be intending to meet up with JGY and his cohort of loyal disciples during the collective flight to Dongying. It's just a level of detail that isn't relevant, especially to our viewpoint character, WWX, who is notoriously not detail-orientated when it comes to this kind of thing.
#ask#cryptidafter#roquen meta#just going to stipulate once more for the masses#i write mdzs meta not cql meta#on the rare occasion where i do touch on cql#it will be clearly highlighted#that said i believe the above does apply to both canons#poor mrs su minshan#indisputably existing#and yet never addressed

happy Sunday! Here’s a fun fact! Did you know that Florida is the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles live in the same ecosystem? Crocodiles are only really in the Everglades here, so don’t worry, you won’t be running into a crocodile in the nearby lake. You’ll definitely find gators though! Don’t swim in lakes guys.
Do you know how to tell the difference between a gator and a croc?
Surprisingly a lot of people don’t know how to quickly tell the difference between these two big fellas. For one, crocodiles are a more brown color, while alligators are a dark black, almost purpley color. Two, a super easy way to tell the difference is in the animal’s head. Alligators have a wide, shovel shaped head, with teeth from their top jaw being the only teeth that are shown. Crocodiles have a thin, narrow head with a V shaped nose. You can clearly see teeth from both their top and bottom jaw, and generally look just a little more gnarly than gators.
now, if you look at a crocodile, do you think that animal would be able to run? No? Well you’d be right! Crocodiles have a wide stance, which really is not ideal if you’re trying to lug that big of a body around on land. Their top speed reaches about 20mph on land, which, yknow. Just don’t bother them.
You look at a gator, do you think they can run? No? Well guess what, when alligators stand up, their legs are under their bodies instead of out to the side. Alligators can run, albeit for a short time, at speeds up to 35mph.
with a few differences covered I just wanna close this little infodump with, no, you’re not going to come across crocodiles often. You absolutely will see alligators in Florida, no matter where you are. I know I just talked about the fact that the swamp puppies will almost definitely catch you if you try to outrun them, but here’s the thing. Alligators really don’t want anything to do with you. Most times, they’re more afraid of you, and will just slide back into the water if they feel threatened. Just respect their space and you’ll be totally fine! I’m so grateful that we live in one of the few places with these literal living dinosaurs swimming around all over the place.
#haha a rare occasion where I just talk#I’ve been thinking a lot about them recently and really just wanted to share#Soooo many people are afraid of gators when they genuinely don’t have to be. Just dont bother them and you’re good man#gators and snakes and man even some fish… these animals will never do a thing to you if you educate yourself about them and respect them#animals#animal facts#alligators#crocodiles#gators#crocs#florida#florida wildlife

I need to get to bed, but I thought about Mermaid AU, today ... specifically started exploring the idea of Heathcliff returning to land with Sherry after everything with Davy Jones is resolved, and it made me think about how he'd struggle to conceal his Mer instincts ...
#also‚ hypothetically‚ would Radley inherit Mer traits from his father ...?#I wonder about it a lot ...#anyway the idea of Heathcliff needing to assume his Mer form from time to time is amusing because Sherry probably just runs the bath--#--and lets him splash around in there for an hour or three#sometimes she takes him to pools ... and on rare occasions where they can get away she'll accompany him to the ocean#I think Mer can't stay in their human forms for too long or they'll suffer negative side effects ...#when I waa doing research I read that if Mermaids were real they'd need to keep their gills wet ... or else they'd dry out and--#--they'd be unable to breathe underwater as a result#so I feel the Mer in my lore would need to return to their Mer form and be in water fairly often ...#... I'm going to think more about Mermaid AU while I fall asleep tonight#AU: Taste the Salt Upon My Breath 🌊#r: remind my heart to beat 💢#si: to a great mind‚ nothing is little 🤎#scattered pages

Guy at my job has a one sided beef with me and now my emails are a war zone. Trench warfare in the emails. Fire and screaming and etc.
#I mean I don’t like him either but I have not been the one firing the shots#I’ve been specifically told not to respond and let my bosses handle it but he has a tendency to show up and#corner me in half hour long one sided conversations so I’m living in fear of that now#Basically dude is a massive overachiever and constantly takes on extra work that literally No One is asking him to#do nor is he getting paid for and he’s decided that everyone else (especially me) is lazy for#just doing our actual jobs and not reacting positively when he delegates work to us (he is not our boss)#Like if I breathe wrong he’s sending emails about it but on the rare occasion where I have to note that#he has left some work unfinished (as I am required to do) he acts like he is under fucking attack#It’s really stressing me out tbh#Like my boss is on my side and his behavior is considered inappropriate but like given he’s a company bootlicker who#goes above and beyond for the same pay while I just Do My Fucking Job#He’s definitely of more value to them as a worker than I am

You know what i think i have pretty unique Dr fankids solely out of the fact that they exist post tragedy and aren't at all tied or involved in anything killing game related
#i remember back in 2018-2019 there were SO many insta kg accounts and a handful of them were fankid kgs#but a good majority had their own little casts too. some friends of mine even had their owns but#it never went anywhere#incredibly rare occasion where i make an oc and don't doom them. which i could do very easily considering the source material#dumbass valley girl guitarist and her weird girlfriend with a strange taste for shirt patterns#dra#danganronpa another#oc#fankid#Akira Tomori Hatano#Benitsuru Ando#hyena ramblings

#don't think that i take for granted the fact that i was born into the happiest marriage/family in our entire extended clan#this family (on both sides) is rife with divorce and rebellious children and couples that have lost their spark and always seem sad#and sure my parents bicker on occasion and have teir frustrations like any couple#but they're in love! still! after 28 years!!! they're each other's best friends#and the three of us get along so wonderfully and we're always laughing together there is LOVE in this household#but that's just so vanishingly rare it feels like#none of my friends are this close to their parents#and idk i feel like most of the couples we know (not all but most) don't have the kind of happiness my parents have#so i'm in between having a huge appreciation for where i am in life#and fear that i'll never find something like that myself#like sometimes i just think too deeply about it and it feels so difficult so impossible#“this happens once every few lifetimes”#but then i think i'm just being paranoid and actually we DO know lots of very happy enduring couples#that CAN be me#but in a way it's just all a game of chance isn't it#no doubt someone out there would be a good fit for me but what if i never meet him#what if we just. miss each other#there's such a fine line between finding true love and eternal solitude#it can be anything a messed up coffee order a dinner you get invited to a job offer you accept#but you never know what it'll be!!!! and that's so scary!!!!!!!!!#okay i think i'm just making myself feel worse so i'll stop here and go to bed#but just. yea. food for thought on this night of my parents' anniversary#elly's posts

I love having a dedicated and aware dream alter like sometimes I just wake up with memories of a new superpower this dude's been at it for nearly two decades and still learns new tricks like last night he unlocked walking on air, which might not seem like much for a guy who can already fly in multiple ways, but the thing is walking on air, it turns out, is just a lot easier when it comes to things like taking off from ledges. But like it's like I'm just waking up Matrix style "I know kung fu" but it's instead of martial arts I'm just learning new superpowers that I don't actually have. Whatever they did that in the Matrix too.
#sfw#personal#ok to reblog#Teeth dream#less happy note is that the same dream reminded me how lonely he is in there. everyone he meets is an NPC.#he met mom in the dream and for a moment she seemed like a full person and he actually for once CHOSE to interact with an NPC#(dreams often have scripts he has to follow and thus he's forced to deal with them when he just wants to play with his powers)#but the moment didn't last and it became clear again that she was not sentient and he was disappointed but not surprised and he left#but just. for a moment. just one short moment I think he felt like he wasn't alone. he's used to it but damn he shouldn't have to be.#two decades. although I guess total dream time would add up to something closer to one year but idc which count is more accurate.#brain makes him to fight off nightmares and for a long time his reality was always waiting for the right moment to turn on him#he learned quickly that it was no use trying to talk to anyone because there's not really anyone there#the nightmares eventually go away but he's still there. doing nothing but dream. only experiencing the waking world through shared memories.#on rare rare occasions he gets little moments like that where he isn't alone...

Why do certain coworkers have to get you so annoyed with them without even trying, and they don't realize how annoying/obnoxious they are?? Or worse, they KNOW how annoying they are but don't seem to care cause they find it funny?
It's like the silence and neutral expressions aren't enough of a hint that I don't think you're funny and you should just stop while you still have your dignity...
Longer rant in the tags cause it's a lot.
#rant post#personal rant#idk what is with boys and think whenever you get annoyed with them means that its ok to keep going on with the shit 😒#i know it's not all boys but just certain ones#he's only 1-2 years younger than me but he acts pretty immature sometimes#he was trying to get my attention by doing stupid shit as distance away but i didn't acknowledge him and he got that message#but afterwards he tries other stuff and cracks himself up whenever he gets me to look at him thinking I'm giving him a reaction#he's....an odd puzzle piece to place#and my workplace is as small as a typical subway so i can't really keep my distance from him unless i go outside or got to the restrooms#ugh i just wish he wasn't like this ALL THE TIME and he wonders i act the way i do around him on the rare occasions he is serious#and it's just me and him working there other than my manager but can't really do anything about that for now#i just wanna scream at him to not smirk at me and dance around me like he's trying to do a mating dance that makes me uncomfortable each tim#-me but i gotta say it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm hysterical about it or cause ridges since I'm still working there#basically he's one of the reasons i want a new job. it shouldn't be the case where a coworker causes you to leave a job#but unfortunately this is where i am at this point#ok rant over XD#I'm going to wash my face and eat something

#teru core#i genuinely have no idea where it is#i’ve cleaned out my closet my drawers and under my bed#i have not found it#then again#i haven’t checked my sisters side of the closet#and sometimes my clothes get lost on her side#???? for some reason#like once i found a pair of my shorts that i’d been looking for for months#it’s not intentional she doesn’t steal them#they just leave their clothes everywhere and mine accidentally get caught up in theirs on rare occasion#sighhhh#i really liked it too#the shirt i mean#oh well#i’ll make it my mission during spring break to look for it#that’s my punishment for wearing it before washing it#i don’t do that anymore#i swear#cnp rants
