#especially irl so iykyk lmao

While rewatching ducktales, I realised that they looove foreshadowing, they do it all the time, sometimes they even give the whole plot of an episode in the very first scenes without the viewer noticing lol.

Anyway, I realised that they foreshadowed the whole “duke of making a mess” thing that Huey had in the sword of swanstantine episode!

THE THING IS, EVEN on my first watch, I could tell that this was supposed to be a multiple episode arc but they HAD to make it shorter because ducktales was getting cancelled and I’m PISSED. LIKE ALL OF MY FAVOURITE CARTOONS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE.

DEWEY had his own arc where he’s trying to uncover his mom’s dissaperance with Webby. LOUIE had his own arc where he was struggling with his place in the family and HUEY. DIDN’T.

Ughhh they foreshadowed the Duke of making a mess in the intern episode and even in Scrooge’s birthday!!

Those are BOTH season 1 episodes (I’m not gonna list more foreshadowing because you get my point) SO THEY’VE BEEN BUILDING UP THIS ARC SINCE THE BEGINNING AND THEY DIDNT GET TO CASH IT INNNNN RAHHHHHH 🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️

When watching the ONE episode where he appears, you could IMMEDIATELY tell that it should’ve been a bigger deal. I mean come onnnn, they enter Huey’s mind scape and there’s a huge closed up door??? With locks??? DUUUDE THAT WOULD’VE BEEN AWESOMMMMEEE

I’m saying all of this but this is just to vent some frustration about how animation shows will just be cancelled without the chance to say all that they’ve wanted to say… and as the one who wants to hear it: *cries and wails and pees on the floor*

Ducktales was planning so many more seasons and only got 3, like every other great animation show nowadays i fear

Add on: Contrary to what these guys seem to believe, i have not been reading crinkles fic past what he shared with me via google docs. They're flattering themselves, ego issues as per uj. I dont feel the need to read whatever crinkle puts out, not when i know at this point what kind of person he is and how unhealthy his attitude towards his writing is, and that he puts it above everything else, even his spouse & "friends". All i know is that shit was talked about me, and neither my partner nor crinkles spouse were happy about what was said. I dont think it matters much what they spew, seeing how disconnected from reality crinkle and krys are.

Adding some stuff for posterity:

I have never encountered a more dedicated liar than Crinkle. He will act like he loves what people close to him are like and what they do, only to change his mind drastically the moment anyone has an issue with him. Extremely inauthentic.

Romanticizes self harm and suffering - idk what type of person gets envious of people who self harm, but thats Crinkle. Allergic to the idea of getting help.

Dishes it out but cant take it whatsoever. Makes mountains out of molehills while actually being the one to say/do fucked up shit to people.

He mistakes boundaries with extremely questionable expectations for people close to him. Krys thinks mediating means they can talk shit about people behind closed doors. No. You absolute snake.

He can only blame himself for damaging his relationship - i know irl's were telling him what he's doing is unacceptable and he chose to ignore them. Blaming people around him for the messes he causes is just something cr does, doesnt matter how obvious his fault is.

Crinkle was actually the person who couldn't help himself but to keep contacting me even after i said goodbye. He kept going off and was extremely rude and inflammatory, only to then make a surprised pikachu face when it made me justifiably angry (entitlement, acting like i should deliver him a link to my kofi on a silver platter so he can give me a refund after EVERYTHING he already did, name calling someone he already mistreated, petty teenager behavior... like yeah who wouldnt get mad? Both cr and krys acted in snakey, infantile ways and thats that).

I havent gone on a blocking spree because unlike krys and crinkle i dont need a baby gate; i havent looked at their socials since waaay before the fallout, and after the fallout i had even less interest in going anywhere near them. The only time i actually commented on crinkles ao3 was after krys went off on my partner after they left a comment there - an understandably critical comment, considering they are not happy with how i was treated by crinkle. Unlike crinkle and krys, i know what it means to have my partners back and i decided to leave replies of my own. That was the only time i made ANY SORT OF CONTACT with these two, even though cr was baiting me previously.

From what ive heard crinkle and krys were the ones going feral and blocking me everywhere in a panic, even though i made absolutely no attempts to contact either of them, at any point. I do go off abt them in tags on my personal blog posts etc but these posts are never @tting anyone, they can only be found if you lurk on my blog. Which both of them did to an unhealthy extent (obsessive in krys' case. Youre 35, get a grip). Like why even block someone if youre going to be sitting on their blog anyway..?

CrinklyTinfoil bs

Just a collection of receipts since krys decided to go ahead and spew such backwards bs im no longer willing to keep this to myself - i only did in the first place because crinkles spouse (nightjarteeth) asked me to keep it tucked away for a while (Night is aware of the events and supports me in the situation last i checked). Crinkle really hates the idea of their behavior backfiring & someone they hurt speaking about the experience. They will do anything to discredit people, doesnt matter if they caused the sitch in the 1st place. Its all about appearances, distorting events and grasping at straws for them. If you're their reader and you choose to believe them - remember they were comfortable pulling wool over the eyes of their spouse and someone they called a "dear friend". Ask yourself why anyone else would be exempt from this. I might update this when i have more time on my hands.

Actually the logistics of secondary gender bureaucracy are unironically super interesting to me lmao I love how many different ways people can build this particular world :)

But also absolutely losing it about the idea of Jannik feeling drawn to follow Carlitos into the Alicante locker room and not really knowing why and being like what does it mean what does it all meeeeeaaaannnnn

~flyerskay

in sports fandoms especially there's just so much to chew on—how do they make it WORK. (i know that as a hockey rpf aficionado you know this.) how does the administration of the sport adapt, rightly or wrongly, to account for this factor. like i don't think i've seen this take yet (again, i have not read super widely), but i would be extremely interested to read a fic where sports have been historically distinct between secondary genders. not necessarily forever, iykyk, but within recent memory. perhaps this is the background for now we're integrating the league/barrier-breaking first omega (or alpha, or even beta, depending on your take) on the team/etc. i immediately think of this in a team sports context but you could do it for tennis too.

(as always if you go into this with the intent of writing JUST a heavy-handed irl metaphor you will fall on your face. the flavor comes from embedding yourself in your own universe and following the internal logic to its natural end.)

anyway the contrast between jannik "but what does any of this mean" and carlos "i know EXACTLY what this means" is always so good but especially good when there is like. a very clear and widely sanctioned convention describing exactly this scenario lmao. oh jannik. <3

4, 12, 22 for the game ❤️

hi!! <3 putting my answers under a cut bc i started rambling like mad lmao. apparently idk the concept of shutting up

4. a story idea you haven’t written yet

oh, lord, how long do you have? i have SO many ideas HAHA but i after i finish my current wip and my femininomenon fest contribution, i think i’m gonna have to write this au that’s literally taken over my brain atm!! so,,, hear me out: a wolfstar au inspired by divergent. like, no, those books are not literary masterpieces (and the plot went off the rails after the first one) but!! i reread them when i was sick earlier this year and they’re SO FUN. wow. like the first book honestly slaps. action-packed!! trashy!! i eat it up.

now let me explain: so you have remus as tris, right? stuck in abnegation, his father’s on the council, his parents are the perfect abnegation members. remus has never felt selfless enough. he wants more. he wants. he hopes his aptitude test will tell him what to do, but– oh, no… his results are inconclusive. he doesn’t know which faction to choose; the test was supposed to tell him what to do. he’s always been drawn to dauntless, but could he betray his parents like that? could he be so selfish? anyway, then, (uhm…divergent spoiler?) he chooses dauntless. he’s the “stiff”. he’s awkward, gangly, a transfer. not what you think of for dauntless; the opposite, really. somehow, he has to survive initiation. otherwise, he’ll end up factionless. or dead. and, even worse, he has to learn how to hide the fact that he’s divergent. enter: sirius as four. the transfer-initiates’ mysterious trainer, also a faction-transfer, the guy with the lowest number of fears on record, hiding secret family trauma (among other things). and, oh, he’s also hot as fuck. sirius is drawn to remus, finds him interesting, smart, brave. and remus is just as drawn to him. etc, etc!!

notable moments would include: the knife throwing scene, ferris wheel climbing (!!), drunk scene near the chasm “you look good, remus.”, the attack on remus as he starts to rise in the rankings w/ intervention from sirius, “what’s ur tattoo?”, going through sirius’ fear simulator together, yada yada. i’m also picturing minerva as tori, lily as christina, james as zeke, and peter as al (iykyk) ;)

plot would either divert or just end after the events of book 1 bc i really don’t care for the whole genetically pure/damaged thing. but, yeah. i think it would be super fun to write :)

also i’m so sorry if you haven’t ever read/watched divergent bc i fear i did not explain that well unless you have a basic knowledge of the plot lmaooo 😭send me another ask if you want more details. i’m clearly v happy to yap about this!!

12. a trope you’re really into at the moment

ooh, this changes WEEKLY i’m a trope lover!! there will never be too many tropes! i’m gonna go with secret identities (is that a good way of wording it? idk) like, particularly with wolfstar, when they either only know each other by moony & padfoot, not full names, OR they meet online and don’t know that they actually already know each other irl. always delicious to read!!

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you’re writing? how do you get past that?

god, yes. yes, 100% i worry about it. it’s a scary thing to put your work out, especially since i have a tendency to find things wrong with my writing after about 5 minutes of posting it. i think mostly it’s helpful for me to remember that at the end of the day, this is just a hobby! i’m doing it because i enjoy it, and i share it because i love the community aspect of fanfiction. if i spend too long worrying about how others perceive my work, it takes away the enjoyment and then it’s not worth it anymore. i’ll stop writing the story that i want, and start trying to write what i think others want. i’m not trying to be a perfect, professional writer or anything, i’m just writing fics for the fun of it :) and as long as i have fun writing, that’s all that should really matter. if other people enjoy it, as well, that’s a really nice bonus! but not everyone will, and that’s okay, too. some of my favourite fics would probably never be professionally published works, but that’s the beauty of them!! they’re weird, and wacky, and niche, and the product of the author’s immense love for the story. and those are the things that make them perfect to me :)

[aggressivedaikons]

kind of important, kind of not? personal update thingy idk :v

tldr: i like the names Rion and Pax (THIS ONE THE MOST) for kin reasons along with my name Tristan.

long ver:

hhhhhh uh so for a little while now, I've been really heavily debating my name n such. I use a fake name online (i do respond to it irl though lmao) and for now it's been Tristan. I'm honestly super really happy with it and like it a lot. But at the same time, I just feel lacking, and I have certain kinshifts that I really lean towards.

Dave/Will are somewhat taken by a few moots (NO SHADE THERE GUYS POP OFF YOU GO HONEY!!!) and honestly, I don't even connect with them as much either.

So, after a long debate with myself over how cringe it would be considered to kin a certain character and such and how I'd feel admitting it, I decided to suck it up and face it. ccid. so uhhhh yeah!

I know not too many people i know here are really that aware of the transformers lore, but holy crap. oh my god. I kin Orion Pax SO HARD. iykyk esp with my insane fixation on Optimus prime, I love my baby man to bits and know how he feels on a spiritual level. He is so awesome and sweet and fun raaaggggghghghghghghgh

So yeah, in order of preference, though not strict, Tristan/Pax/Rion.

as for why I chose Rion instead of Orion, A. KWITE. if you know, YOU KNOW. (I love the hoodie, back off. kwitetrap supremacy), and B. Orion sounds so basic I'm sorry 😭 not to shade anyone I'm sorry but it just doesn't feel right. and it's TOO gender neutral yk??? Rion sounds really similar to Ryan, and I love that name so much. So, think of it more as Tristan/Pax/Ryan, heck I'll even use Ryan too that can be a secret between whoever actually reads my identity crisis rambling eheheh

yeah I am so tired here take a picture of my bbg kin he's so neat ESPECIALLY in the Orion Pax arc of tfp season 2.

hes so babygirl am i right????????? he is so huggable just like watch the first three episodes of Transformers: Prime S2. yes you will have no context but still... he's so amazing. hes me 🫶
