This is SO important! Please don't do this, don't charge for fanfic. It puts us all at risk. If you wanna make money off something you wrote you gotta divorce it from the source material! Let's all protect fanfic and all our talented writers across all fandoms so we can continue to be creative and enjoy the fandoms we love. ❤️
once again, to the people charging money for fanfiction: be more freaking careful before you get us all taken down?!?!?!?! you shouldn't be doing that at all because you don't have any right to make money off someone else's copyright, but making noise about it risks legal repercussions even for people who don't charge! STOP THAT.
and DEFINITELY don't be advertising it on AO3
#the second you make money on fanfic it opens you up for lawsuits#your fandom elders didn't get sued by Anne Rice for you to go and do this shit#don't ruin it for the rest of us#<- Prev tags#ao3#Fanfic#Fanfiction#fanfic authors#fanfic writers#writer problems#Writing#Signal boost#important

Literally sobbing in the shower rn since I was bored and decided to watch Technoblade's goodbye for my friends who are dsmp fans. Since I myself am not a dsmp fan this was my first time seeing it. But goddamnit it I was crying 2 minutes in.
I know this might not mean much from a person whose never watched any dsmp vids (except Fundy a long time ago) and still knows nothing about it, but I just wanted to say rest in peace, Alex.
Technoblade never fucking dies 🕊️🗡️
#random crying fit#decided to get emotional today#right after that I watched the boys say goodbye in American and sobbed about that too#i was needing a good cry so this was worth it#rest in peace brother#(RIP sounds sarcastic and lazy to me so I don't really like using that)#prob from yters ruining it#but srsly#dsmp#dsmp technoblade#techno#technoblade#rip technoblade#Ik it's been two years since he died but just thought I'd post#❣️

Anyway, if you aren’t Black don’t use any variation of woke. I don’t care what conservatives are calling fuckers/using as the new sjw/political correctness/what have you.
If you know what fuckers mean use what they mean, and if you don’t why are you copying what people are saying?
Woke ain’t for you. If the discussion isn’t about Black people being aware of and/or educating other Black people about racism/antiblackness/structural inequality/all the other bullshit then it doesn’t need to be used in the discussion.

idk how to explain it really well, but what makes me obsessed with teenji and generally what sets apart lan wangji from the usual cold, stoic and inexpressive hot character is the reveal, early on, that he is just a little guy
#like. i've said it many times why teen wangxian are SO important for what makes wangxian appealing#and why even in AUs i don't like having that time period of their lives removed#but it's esp important for humanizing lan wangji and making him sooo much more... realistic#and it's why it KILLS ME how the lotus seed pod novel extra is one that i've seen a lot of people skip#because it's also one of the few moments in the novel where we follow lan wangji's pov!!!!#and my goddd. MY GODDD#HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY!!!!!#lwj ruined this love interest archetype for me#cause authors are TOO AFRAID to break the hard and cold and stoic exterior#when that's exactly what i wanna see#we learn early on that lwj is just as much as a disaster as the rest of us#and that's DELICIOUS#modao#lace speaks

fault
↳ faruzan × arin × sethos (though this is more arin-centric than shippy)
↳ 600+ words
↳ trying to conceptualize arin's character more, and i ended up with this. now there's angst with no resolution🥳 (so far) i might rewrite this for something bigger but i wanted to get the idea out of my head first. im not sure how well people might understand this without context but. i hope there's an inkling at least?
Everything hurt. From the pounding in Arin's head to the soreness of his legs. He expected that, having only woken up several hours ago. But there he sat, late in the night, already dressed to leave. He just had one thing left to check.
Watching Faruzan wake up beside him, he imagined she was feeling somewhat similar.
"Hey, dummy."
Faruzan grimaced, cringing away from even the barest streaks of moonlight from her window. She turned left and right in confusion, hair mussing up around her head.
"Wh-What? Arin?"
Arin simply shook his head. He released a gentle wave of Cryo energy to his fingertips, ghosting his hands over her forehead and scalp to help her relax.
"We're fine, we're fine. I just wanted to see if you'd.." He paused, then shook his head. "Nevermind. Just go back to sleep."
When he was confident she had fallen back asleep, he spoke up once more, now more or less just playing with the uneven strands of hair framing her head. He retracted his hand, reaching to his side to pick up his sheathed sword.
"Sorry, Paruparo. I won't be here when you wake up, I don't think."
He caught a glimpse of the view outside the window. A city perched atop the gargantuan Divine Tree, and the rainforest that surrounded it. None of which was familiar anymore. As far as Arin could tell, everything he knew was inside this room. And he hoped she was sleeping well, despite his intrusion.
"I will return tomorrow. After they've.. told you everything." He secured his sheath to his belt, turning to leave.
—
"Hey." Someone said. Arin was too entrenched in sleep to care who, though they're only could be one person. The bitter remains of a forgotten dream clung to the recesses of his mind, ruining his mood before he could decide what it was even supposed to be. "You're burning up."
"Mmph."
Sethos's light eyeroll was audible in his tone. "Come on.."
Honestly, he was probably right. Arin did feel more exhausted than usual. Maybe warm. He wasn't sure. Wasn't it always warm in Sumeru?
"I think we need to camp out a bit longer."
That got Arin's eyes open. He shook his head as much as he was able (which was, very feebly).
"I'll be fine."
"No, no, no." Sethos held him down him by the shoulders just as he was about to get up. Sunbeams poured down over Sethos's head, resembling a halo with the soft lavender skylight of Vanarana. "No."
Arin had to squint at him to filter out the light. "I'm fine."
"No, you are most definitely not."
"We need to help Rana.." Arin groused.
"We do." Sethos nodded. "But, no offense, you're not going to be much of help to her or anyone trying to travel in your condition."
Arin could only muster a huff. To his own dismay, he already found himself too tired to continue his argument, and all too willing to slip back into slumber.
"We need to help Rana." He repeated, considerably weaker than before; more rueful than anything.
"This is just one obstacle." His companion reassured. "Just rest well. We'll be back on the road in no time."
Sethos's knuckles pressed against Arin's forehead to gauge the temperature. His skin held a soft sort of warmth.
Sethos began to mumble to himself as Arin drifted off. The words were lost on him. Something about Sumeru City being too far. Something about the sky. Something about vision.
"Sorry." Arin murmured in his drowsiness. Notably, Sethos went silent. "I did it again."
"Did what?" Sethos asked.
"Stepped.. I stepped on the pressure plate." Arin mumbled. "I hope we don't stay stuck here too long."
Sethos paused, eyebrows knitting together in thought.
"You know.. it's not your fault. For getting sick."
Arin only hummed, Sethos's voice echoing as he finally fell asleep.

Me in 2021:
Me now:
I've been on a closed loop system since 2022 and it's the first thing that's actually worked to get my blood glucose down permanently.
(I use the Dexcom/Tandem T:slim system)
I gifted myself an Apple Watch last year to track my health better, but it also allows me to show my blood glucose on the screen. Which is an oddly sentimental element, because when I was 6 and first diagnosed with Type 1 my grandmother said: "One day you'll be able to see your blood glucose on a watch, you mark my words!"
It might not be quite what either of us imagined, but hey gramma, I can see it on my watch now :')
#actually diabetic#t1d#my diabetes behaves like a bouncy ball and reacts to everything an anything#trying to control it manually was exhausting and never actually...rewarding? to give it a name?#you'd get it right and OOP up we go again#this and that from age 6 to 34#December 2022 was when I was super close to actually just...giving up. Truly giving up on ever getting it right.#my diabetes was winning from me at that point#and that same month someone said 'hey. maybe THIS system can help you. Come on. Let's get you started.'#I forget if it was a nurse or my doctor#but that was the turning point I desperately needed before I just let my body go to full ruin#my eyes already aren't well#the rest of me still seems fine though#and now I can hope it'll stay fine for a long time#because MY GOD I don't have to think about my diabetes every second of the day#my CLS does it for me and corrects for me. FIGHTS for me.#I really hope the system can help many others like me#I know in the Netherlands more and more diabetics are getting it#(fully insured)#for some of us it can be a lifesaver#for non-diabetics: 107 iS FUCKING HIGH YO#I WAS NOT FEELING GOOD 24/7#thirsty tired and just blegh

so i have book of the month (it's a book subscription box that you get to pick from a certain amount of titles each month, blah blah) and since I started it's def changed a lot but i follow this subreddit for it and people are like soooo upset whenever BOTM doesn't purely listen to their wants and needs, like people are so mad that they don't have more hyper specific genres or book releases, etc. it's so crazy sometimes bc all these ppl do is complain (yes, it's reddit i know but it'd gotten so bad in the last year or so). they threaten to cancel their subscriptions every month if there aren't good picks for them, but never seem to actually cancel (because why would you if you could just complain about it) and they threaten to start using the other book subscription box that is similar to botm. lately, their big thing has been hating on this free prize you get if you complete BOTM's reading challenge, which is a hat that says 'reading is sexy' and they are all freaking out that this company would give them something that says sexy on it, because 'it would just let men try to hit on me bc it says sexy on it!!' or 'i work in the town i live in and if anyone saw me wearing this i would be in trouble or *insert something similar here!*, which i am not gonna sit here and pretend that men won't do that if they really want to or that bosses won't be weird to be weird, but it's just a stupid hat and they are FREAKING OUT about it. they downvote anyone who is like ' the hat isn't that bad, and if you don't like it, just don't opt to get it. sorry the prize isn't for you, but it's gonna be okay', or anything that's similar to that. just a hellscape, anyways if you use botm and actually enjoy the service, drop an ask :)
#it's very similar to the variant conversation#which for me is just like#if you don't want them don't get them or just pick your fav#and these people can go 'hey this isn't for me anymore and i am gonna cancel bc of that' at any time and i wouldn't be offended#but of course they continue to spend money and then complain about it all and ruin a good space for the rest of us sound about american#anyways#kate talks books#kate talks#botm#book of the month#oh yeah and like a year ago someone made a post just yelling at all of them and they were just leave the subreddit#and i was like but you guys should leave since you don't even like the subscription anymore!! but they of course won#i torture myself with this subreddit

I love the vocal nuance in this exchange, but also posting this for my differences posts because this is one of the changes that infuriates me the most. Yuri didn't threaten Ioder, did not threaten him with a weapon, and just said he'd punch him in a lazy, half joking voice (half joking as in, he really doesn't want to hear that - that's just his way of saying so; but that's not the voice of someone who is super angry and threatening).
My other huge grievance is that this is a recurring issue between them in the dub. Yuri is pretty much always vocally rude to Ioder. Ioder has done nothing to wrong him or anyone and has only ever done good for the people where he's able to.
Yet despite Ioder being nothing but sincere, honest and polite with Yuri, in fact even happy to see him here and there, dub Yuri is outright tonally rude to him leading right up this scene where he threatens Ioder in this dark voice. Meanwhile he's actually just supposed to be… lazily telling Ioder he'll punch him in his Yuri Lowell way of saying "I don't want to hear that".
The dub really just wanted to turn Yuri into this dark edgelord and I hate that for my goofy, silly boy.
#GTF Vesperia Clips#honestly JP Yuri talks abt punching ppl often enough that it's like... this should have been an easy tl#and like honestly wtf is with the dub having Yuri at Ioder's absolute THROAT every time they talk#I'm serious when I say dub Yuri genuinely pisses me off sometimes bc he's an asshole for NO reason#it's not cool. I'm not rooting for him. I'm rooting for someone to punch him in the face for being an ass#JP Yuri would love to do it honestly he's always up for punching ppl it's a recurring theme for /him/#I've never wanted to punch JP Yuri in the face. I've wanted to punch dub Yuri in the face multiple times#that's enough for me to recognize that the dub took more than just ''creative liberties'' with the loc#it SUCKS too bc the dub in and of itself isn't bad. I've said this before but#it really is primarily Yuri and his absolute ATTITUDE problem /and/ the way the dub treats Flynn and puts him down constantly#and unfortunately often uses Yuri to do it... when they're not having Flynn himself do it#all always in areas that never even happened originally. they just literally made it up#still not over how they had Flynn basically berate himself by saying ''like a /good knight/'' at Yormgen#the dub very clearly had a /narrative/ bias against imperial figures/knights that wasn't in the original#what was the reason to drop Sodia calling Yuri ''sir'' at Aurnion? there wasn't one!#but Sodia BaD so we can't possibly let anyone see her character development and have to hide it from dub players!#unfortunately for me the dub not being bad in and of itself truly is trumped by#its treatment of Yuri and Flynn as characters and the way the game narratively directs players#for me it really is THAT BAD that it's stronger than the rest of the dub being just fine#and it really truly honestly RUINS the entire dub for me bc I love Yuri and Flynn and hate seeing them treated like that#I mean literally the whole point of me making those text posts is bc of my love for Yuri lol#and it's so sad and hard to see dub players not get the same Yuri experience simply bc... they don't even know#a lot of people didn't even realize how different he was and like... I get loving Troy's acting#but again Troy isn't the problem here. I don't want a dub that treats my favorites the way it does#I WISH Troy could have voiced Yuri the way he really is. in some way for me it feels very lonely#bc like the casual person I pass by who knows Vesp isn't likely to have not played the dub you know??#so it's like... I wanna talk abt Yuri but we aren't even talking abt the same Yuri#nearly outta tags lol but yeah it just... makes me SO sad that they did all this to those two

NOTHING makes whiny gamers shit themselves faster than PvP that forces them to stop curbstomping new and inexperience players and instead to match with people at a similar skill level as them lmao.
It's really pathetic to see.
They go "bro, I just wanna have A CHILL match!" and their chill match is brutalizing casuals and it's like. idk maybe u aren't as skilled as u think if you can only feel like you're having fun beating up people who could never be a match for you
#if the rest of us have to give our all and then some and still get brutally wrecked every match#you get ZERO fuckinig sympathy when you are now forced into the gameplay the rest of us live in 24/7#like sorry you're now getting a taste of what your 'chill' mode requires everybody else to go through?#WE CANNOT GET BETTER IF WE ARE CONSTANTLY WRECKED BEFORE WE CAN EVEN SEE WHAT HAPPENED#like we CANNOT improve if we are placed against people so far above us we can't even comprehend them#you get better by matching against those who are similar to you (ideally a bit better) not by getting ruined to the point of no fun#also u don't get better by constantly fighting people who you dont have to put any effort into beating lol

i hate imogen with a passion
#speaking of using this as my hater blog. her existence annoys me so bad#not for the bullshit reason of her liking nick though. just literally everything else about her#her treatment of tara and darcy. her outing of ben. her ruining nick's coming out moment#the fact that she gets away with all of it just bc she's a white girl who's read/portrayed as unassuming and harmless and comedic#no. fuck you. explode.#she should've been ditched with harry and the rest of them genuinely#also. the fact that she only has guy friends????? i am so suspicious of that#why don't girls wanna be friends with you. gee i wonder after you walked up to tara after hearing she kissed a girl#to gossip about her love life. not even just to gossip but for selfish reasons#there's a reason no one wanted to room with you!! it's bc you suck and make everyone uncomfortable!!!!#and nick is just too nice and people please-y to ditch you bc you haven't done anything as bad as harry but you! suck!!#i mean. she's really just a teenage girl. i shouldn't be too hard on her#but i don't like the way the show goes about her whole character and paints that as like. a good and ok way to be without changing#imagine if that was anyone but a white girl with that characterization. the fandom would tear her ass to shreds#anyways. i'm done hating now. that one's just been building up for days
