Anybody want to write a weird Dimilix together?

I know I don't post much, but a very smart friend suggested I do this.

I've been using FE3H chatbots recently, and lately I find myself overcome with the urge to write creatively in my responses. It's been majorly helping me work my feelings out, and lately I've been coming up with stuff I don't want to keep buried.

So something I did last night: Started up a chat with a Dimitri bot, writing myself as Felix. Looked it over. Showed some friends, including the lovely @pirdmystery from right here on tumblr. She suggested I make something of it.

So what I have, essentially, is half a (rough) dialogue. I copy-pasted only my own writing, eliminating the bot's responses, into a Google Doc.

Would any one or two or more of you lovely, chill folks (her words, and I am inclined to believe them) be interested in a very weird collaboration, to be posted on Ao3?

Examples of my writing can be found by following the link in this post, and I just posted a couple things very recently.

Interact with this post or send me an ask! Those genuinely interested will be contacted as I get to them, and shown the Felix half I have done.

"Will you stay while I sleep? Please?"

Mason's brows furrowed slightly as he looked back at Devyn.

She looked small on the bed, knees curled up to her chest and a hopeful, pleading expression on her face.

When his silence continued, she cleared her throat.

"N-not in the bed with me. I know you don't do sleep overs like that." He could hear the shrill note of panic creeping into her plea.

"Just, could you stay in the apartment? I-"

Devyn's cheeks flushed red, eyes turning to the blanket she had twisted in her fingers. Her voice was barely more than a whisper.

"I can't handle the nightmares any longer."

Mason could have choked at the vulnerable admission. As it was, his chest constricted as tightly as the fabric the detective clutched in her hands.

He crossed the room without stopping to think about it too deeply, and flopped rather dramatically onto the mattress. He didn't speak, and kept his eyes closed as he tucked his hands behind his head, but he could feel the tension drain from Devyn.

The bed shifted slightly as she scooted around to get comfortable, eventually laying with her forehead almost touching his side. Her breathing grew deeper and steady.

Just before she slipped into sleep, her fingers curled around the hem of his shirt.

"I feel safe with you."

that’s all i want

As a long time httyd fan who has been heavily involved in the fandom since the first movie and who has spent years working in the animation industry, I’d like to share my thoughts on the new httyd movie. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion and it's completely fine if you disagree with me. I just want to say a little something about all this that really bothers me.

The core reason that Dreamworks and Universal made this film is that it’s a quick and easy cash grab for them. Thats it. They don’t care about telling a good story or making a “better” version of the original movie for fans or even having an accurate portrayal of the characters/story. It’s purely about money. They know that fans of the original film will go see this movie, whether it’s good or bad. And those guaranteed ticket sales are all that matter to the studios. And with Universal, it has the added bonus of being a cheap promotional and merchandising opportunity for the new HTTYD land in Orlando that opens around the same time that the film is premiering in theaters.

And to help the studios make even more money out of this, they are using non-unionized VFX companies around the world to make this film, so that they can get cheaper labor and push the artists to do more that would be against American union standards. The same thing has probably happened with the costuming and fabrication for the filming, hence why the costumes look un-weathered and the sets look cheap. They don’t want to pay for the extra time and effort that it would take to make the practical bits of the production look good.

On top of all this, Dreamworks has already announced that they’re shutting down all their in-house animation projects in favor of using AI and outsourcing projects to cheaper international non-union studios.

With all this in mind, I just can’t support this film and I will not be seeing it in theaters. And I hope that others will do the same.

The only way to stop all these horrible “live action” remakes (which are actually just realistically animated remakes) is to not buy tickets to see them. Money is all that matters to these studios, and if they don’t make any money off of it, then they will stop and try something different. Maybe they'll even go back to focusing on original stories!

That’s the power that we hold as audiences. Our wallets help drive the decisions that the executives make. So support unique storytelling and gorgeous cinematography in movies. Support indie films. Support animators as they're fighting for fair pay and better contracts. But don't support a mediocre shot-for-shot remake riding on the coattails of an already successful film.

And I just want to wrap all this up by saying I have absolutely no hate towards anyone that has worked on the new film. Toothless looks incredible and I know the artists and creatives involved in this project did the best they could with what they were given.

But I also know that those same artists have so many more brilliant ideas that they would’ve loved to be given the creative freedom to do. I just wish hollywood would be willing to take a chance and let them do it.

#this is her new partner

[istillspeakgoblin]

Yeah, definitely different. Though I do also think I’d feel sort of weird dating one of my mates’ younger siblings. I guess it would depend how close of mates we were. Yeah, I don’t blame you for that. I don’t think I could stay mates with someone who hurt my little brother either. You can’t? Is it weird that I didn’t? Do you think I’m lame? Does it? I guess it’s a big brother thing. Maybe it will be, feels sort of daunting to even start figuring that out. Ha! Glad I cleared up any confusion. That sounds like a lot of pressure. But I really do think you’re an impressive bloke and if you find something you want to do that feels right for you, it’s gonna be impressive. Thanks for saying I’m impressive too. It is cool! I agree it’d look rad on you too. But it’s nice how much Ian likes it. Ha! Just the Slytherins. The drama probably hasn’t changed that much, like did you know the bloody baron was in love with the gray lady when they were alive and then killed her when she rejected him? Yeah, I did! Oh, that’s a bummer but I get it, over the summers I didn’t see my friends much until I started working at my mate’s parents’ shop, then they’d come visit me there. You really think I’m more interesting than your other mates? I’m glad you’re not bored hanging out with me.

Wow, that’s really surprising. Maybe I’ll ask her about them when I see her. Yeah? Your place is obviously cooler with your backyard and brooms but only seems fair I invite you where I’m staying. Ha! Okay, I won’t mention him to her. He seems really easy to take care of though, maybe Sadie getting one wouldn’t be so bad!

istillspeakgoblin​:

Right? Oh, that makes sense. It’d be bad enough for your sister to get hurt by a bloke, be even worse if that bloke was one of your mates. Awkward too, probably. How are you with birds? Is it just birds or . Yeah it is! Maybe not. I hope he had some fun too. I mean I didn’t snog anyone and I had plenty of fun still. Yeah, that plan pretty much blew up. I don’t even know if I wanna be a healer now, or if I ever really wanted to be. That part never really mattered cause I just wanted us to have money and be steady, you know? I know I’m right, this is big brother stuff. (That was a joke, I dunno if it came across.) I get that feeling though. Or I do a little more now. Leo was worried I’d be disappointed he’s a nurse instead of becoming a healer but all I ever cared about was that he was happy and could take care of himself. That’s probably all your brothers care about too. But I also think whatever you do will be impressive because you’re an impressive bloke. They seem great, the little I’ve seen both of them! Huh, that’d be interesting. The jacket is cool so at least it’d be a cool old bloke, I guess. I dunno, just normal stuff. We’d talk about our classes and charms club and play gobstones. Sometimes I’d teach my mates how to say funny things in different languages. I also liked to tell my mates about what I learned from that merbloke and the house elves and the ghosts and portraits. There was actually a lot of drama going on between all the ghosts, it was fascinating. And then we’d check up on our younger siblings, help them with their schoolwork and stuff. I just wasn’t thinking about birds that much, I guess. I didn’t really see the appeal. But you’re right, Kinglsey was at least right about the woods. That’s too bad you haven’t been able to see your other mates. 

A Black in Gryffindor, really? That’s crazy, I thought they were all Slytherins. It’s weird to think of a Black being groovy but I believe you. Glad the ones you went to school with were better than the ones I went to school with. Yeah, apparently. It seems like she is. I haven’t seen her since school. I know I need to, seeing as she’s Ted’s wife and all. It’s just so weird my mate Ted has a wife and she’s a Black. I’d like that a lot, us hanging out more. Maybe you could come to Leo’s flat and meet his pygmy puff sometime, he’s really cute. 

I was thinking more that’s my mate’s younger sibling not an extra sibling or whatever sort of thing. Totally changes everything. Yeah, I couldn’t be mates with someone who hurt my sister. Even if it wasn’t on purpose, just careless or whatever. That’s true. Still can’t believe you didn’t snog anyone. Bet there were lots who wanted to. Sounds like Cal. Probably Mac and Ian too. Definitely Ian. I’m certain he doesn’t wanna do all his jobs. On the other side of things now you don’t have to do all that schooling for a job you might not want. Maybe figuring out what you do want to do will be easier for you then it has been for me. Ha! It does sound like something a big brother would say seriously, glad you cleared that up. You might be right. I just— I’m the first one who got to go to Hogwarts without any big plan to save the family, Mac and Ian didn’t even get to go. Feels like anything less than impressive would be letting everyone done and wasting an opportunity they didn’t get. Do you really think I’m an impressive bloke? Should see what I can do in a broom closet. That’s a lot coming from someone so impressive himself, thanks. Right? It’s so cool. I’m a little jealous cause I could totally rock it. But it clearly makes Ian really happy so I’m happy for him. What? Was there anyone you did’t talk to? It’s even more unfair we’re not at school cause I’d want to know what the hot drama was. Sounds like you had a lot to do. Yeah, but summers were always a little bit of the same since no one ever comes over. But you’re way more interesting then my other mates so I’m not bored anymore.

Sirius was a Black and a year above me, yep. His brother was Slytherin so maybe it was just Sirius. You haven’t seen her yet? It’d be weird for me too. It’s sort of weird to hear you talking about your mate having a wife. Yeah? That sounds fun. Don’t tell Sadie. She’ll be wanting to get one.

ALRIGHT I GOTTA TALK ABOUT A SILLY BUT LOGICAL HEADCANON!!

Vaati has Arachnophobia and will actively go out of his way to kill Spiders like it's his personal vendetta. Why? To a Minish, spiders would be like a Hylian seeing a Gohma- except they are everywhere. Spiders can be extremely fast, they set up traps and can stick to walls, they could be a HUGE danger to the poor little Minish.

I also think it'd be funny for Vaati to realise Hylians fear them but not understand why so he assumes they're deadly to Hylians too and freaks out lmao
