#but the reviews were very good

Okay fine. I’ll get the dumb “””truly wireless””” headphones that go in one of these flippy cases to charge. Fine.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE BASS SUCKS SO BAD ON THE OTHER ONES and the case lights up to show you the charge percentage on these?!?

i've been meaning to make this for years

ways journalists have really described alex turner and miles kane:

"Wearing matching outfits, gazing into each other's eyes, talking about their instant connection… Alex and Miles' claims that they wrote the Shadow Puppets' album about 'a girl' weren't fooling anyone. Quite simply Alex and Miles are hopelessly, madly, enviably in love with each other. Please lads, just be true to yourselves, embrace your feelings, and have a massive snog - we can't bear the tension any more."    - NME

“If there’s one sexual dynamic at work tonight at the Usher Hall, it’s homoeroticism. The Last Brokeback Mountaineers are a camp pair of strutting cocks, to be sure.”  - The Wee Review

"Speaking to them together feels like interrupting a conversation that's been going on since 2005." - NME

“Looking over at his manspreading counterpart, Kane gleefully points at Turner’s exposed bulge. Not wanting to be rude, I look away.” - SPIN

“Watching them finish each others’ sentences, agonise over their answers to how well they know each other and embrace when it’s time to leave... well, you’d need a heart made of Hoosiers CDs not to find it incredibly sickly sweet.” - NME

“Alex Turner and Miles Kane turn towards each other with fond looks when we suggest they’re best friends. Like doodle in each other’s notebooks BFF status. After spending 15 minutes with them though, we’re pretty convinced they’re going to grow old together in matching tracksuits.” - Sidewalk Hustle

“Miles Kane looks like he’s gagging for a great big man-hug (and maybe more...) off his buddy. These two have spent overly long admiring themselves and each other.” -  The Wee Review

“As soon as I decide to just get started without Kane, Turner accidentally Facetimes him from his pocket, and the two erupt into a fit of giggles, our conversation veering off course for the third time in as many minutes.” - Consequence

“While Turner stares on the ground during his answers, Kane watches him like a lovestruck teenager from the side.” - Musikexpress

“Say this for Lennon and McCartney, or Plant and Page: they never had their own romantic rock ‘n’ roll portmanteau. But “Milex”—Miles Kane and Alex Turner, for the uninitiated—have just that enviable kind of bromance. The two even moved to Los Angeles in tandem a few years ago. No wonder multiple “Milex” pages have cropped up on Tumblr, breathlessly re-posting the duo’s every embrace and droll quip; there is fan fiction, too, the kind that would make a coal miner blush.” - Interview Magazine

'"Alex Turner is like a princess in need of his prince Miles's assistance to get down from a tower." - Dutch Review

"You'd be forgiven for barely noticing anything beyond the front of the stage, though. Like a pair of teenagers egging each other on, Turner and Kane are the most infatuated frontmen since the Pete Doherty and Carl Barat." - Hot Press

"If Miles Kane had a 'hard on' for being a front-man before The Last Shadow Puppets, he's grabbed the opportunity Turner's patronage presented him with both hands. So to speak." - Q Magazine

"The feeling is contagious too, as though we're looking in on star-crossed lovers finally reunited." - Hot Press

Not a horror movie, but SOMA is a really good game that could work for a heartbreaking Trigun AU. For an actual movie rec, Dark Water (2002) is a good one.

okay forgive me because i've seen the remake of dark water from 2005 n while i imagine there are some significant differences between iterations, i'm gonna say i get the gist of it, but.

so i realize i've never actually spoken at length about my own trigun college au over here and since the fic is in my drafts indefinitely this is WILDLY out of context but like. i never actually landed on a backstory for vash and knives, i figure that true to canon vash has a lot of holes in his memory and knives won't fill those in for him so this sort of thing wouldn't really come up in the story, and as far as vash is aware life might as well have started when rem adopted them

it's nicer than knowing, anyways

I know I can sound callous when I say this, but you really do have to make things for yourself. You should make things YOU want to read or look at later. Whether or not you get comments or kudos or praise or hits once it's posted has to be immaterial during the creation process, and being satisfied on your own terms has to be something you work toward emotionally.

That said, the upside of fandom creatives being satisfied on their own terms is that if you treat them like little entertainment machines, they'll be much quicker to just keep their stuff to themselves. Why post works for an audience who's unkind when you can get the joy of looking at your creative work in private just fine?

So, yes, artists and writers and such should be creating for the joy of it. But if they're doing that, then making the sharing of those creations worthwhile is the responsibility of the audience. If you love something, at least drop a kudos or a like on it to acknowledge that it brought you some joy, even if you don't have the energy to write a comment. Because if you're not acknowledging it, then why would the creator bother posting it to share when they can enjoy their works in private just the same?

It's a two-way situation here. And tbh the reason I mostly lean on "you have to create for yourself" is that it's easier overall for the creator to grapple with their own emotions than it is to try to get the collective audience to do that emotional care for them.

That's not to say you're obligated to interact with or praise fanworks you don't enjoy or don't have the energy to read/look at/whatever. No reasonable person is going to demand praise and attention for something mediocre or that you looked at but didn't like, tho I understand how sometimes posts about this topic do feel that way. It's that if you enjoyed and appreciated something, THAT is the thing you should interact with at least a little bit.
