Still in the trenches with this Twine port (and will be for a while), but also trying to be more diligent about keeping people more informed about stuff: I never really used Twitter to begin with, but will officially no longer be on it as of today and have made an account over on Bluesky at lenanguyenauthor.bsky.social. There is nothing there at the moment, but if you're on Bluesky as well and looking for accounts to follow, I'll be using that account to share updates about my books, games, and all other such news in the future! :D

Disney's pretty much stripping Fox for parts at this point, including Blue Sky, seeing as they've also dated yet another Ice Age movie *for the cinemas*.

Ice Age went so completely off the rails after the third movie WHERE are they gonna go with a new one???? under Disney no less??????????

Child-repulsed Illumi headcanon, anyone?

I keep seeing fics/headcanons where Illumi has a massive breeding kink/is desperate for children of his own which... yeah sure. I see where you're all coming from there. I don't hate it or even necessarily disagree...

BUT... Am I the only one who can also see the total opposite being possible?

Think about it, he spent first decade or two of his life forced to act as a parent figure to not one, not two, not three but FOUR younger siblings. I can very easily imagine that now he's an adult/living independently, the idea of having to deal with any more kids is just... Absolute nightmare fuel for him.

Imagine, a totally child-repulsed Illumi. An Illumi who is borderline obsessed with birth control, insisting on AT LEAST two methods of contraception before even considering PIV sex... Illumi tracking his partner's menstrual cycle so he can AVOID sex when she's most fertile. Illumi that panics if his partner is late by a day or two and who may even resort to trying to force them into getting permanently sterilised. An Illumi who just wants to spend the rest of his life enjoying nice furniture, walls that haven't been scribbled on, being able to safely own breakable ornaments, having nice clothes that are not stained by various children's bodily fluids, quiet evenings spent reading or watching movies that are rated 18+, eating dinners that don't involve chicken nuggets and nights where he can sleep for a full 8 hours uninterrupted... Illumi who has zero interest in ever having kids. (If Silva and Kikyo want grandchildren, they can ask any of their other 4 offspring to provide them, because Illumi is DONE. He's not even the family heir, so why does it even matter to them if he has kids or not?)

Love that in real life, people still pronounce homestuck character names WILDLY differently

actually i do have a few more thoughts. i think, to me, at least by the start of the series dean doesn't really have the kind of power over sam that would facilitate a one-sided abuser/victim dynamic. he doesn't actually abduct sam from his dorm room, he doesn't put a gun to his head and force him to come look for dad - my read of that scene is dean, scared, begging sam to come help him, because he can't cope alone. and sam goes because despite everything he does care about his brother and yeah, even his dad - dean doesn't have to manipulate him into it (though that's not to say we don't see manipulative behaviour at other points). sam is given outs, opportunities to leave, multiple times; dean offers to let him leave, and i don't think it's a false offer - it would have hurt him badly if sam took it but i don't think he would have tried to stop him. and when sam does go, in 1x11, it's not like dean hunts him down and forces him to come back, outside circumstances do that. and it's clear to me, too, that sam wants to go back to him! and dean is clingy, they are codependent, dean wants sam with him more than just about anything else, but i don't think that's unrequited. they both display pretty much equivalently extreme behaviour to keep the other one alive, to keep the two of them together. and i think dean is often at sam's mercy, emotionally, possibly even more than sam is at his - their relationship is often on uneven footing, but i don't think dean has the upper hand any more than sam does.

Sometimes I think about how when I was in sixth grade I wrote a “book” with a one bed trope, but I had absolutely no idea what it meant to have one bed so it went something like:

Character 1: oh no there were only enough leaves on this deserted island for one bed

Character 2: I guess that means we’ll have to share it

Character 1: well you know what people do when they share one bed

Character 2: …

Character 1: …

Character 2: …

Character 1: sleep

Y'know the fun thing abt how I've set up the society that the main stalien cast comes from is that even the most broad general trends across stalien societies tend to not apply to them. So everytime I yap about how most herds form and the general trends in their societies I just get to remember mid yapping that basically none of this will ever be evident or even come up in the main story. Damn isolated motherfuckers

"yay i can't wait to use imperialdramon paladin mode in my party :)" i think to myself, naively forgetting it's a vaccine type, and does not fit in my party of 3 vaccines, 1 data and 1 virus that nearly wiped against a royal knight that was a data type
