Me after posting about we are not free at midnight with 0 sleep and just writing random shit about how I feel with the characters that comes up in my mind only specifically at midnight and not writing any like actual deep analysis of any of the characters because I literally can not for the life of me write actual good posts

i drew a tiny guy! I love him so much someone get him a kool-aid and a non toxic familial environment and I will be just fine 😔 but anyway this is his catified design! Along with some lil tidbits of Gregory who I need to redesign to fit my art style, fun!

Also I love Gregory and Evan as besties/brothers, it gives me my daily amount of seretonin 😔

Anywho, feel free to use this design if you want! Just please credit me!! (had to repost this because I posted it on the wrong thing, making mistakes just like my mother 🤸🤸) (CHOKING)

Ken Wakui is free seretonin

[laptopcius]

I'm glad I played Kali after HS2, because this scene gave me much needed seretonin boost 💙

Yeah, romantic rainy scenes are cliché, but I don't care. It gave me so much warmth and it made me want to be in love myself 🥺

I also don't think we ever saw Ratan t h i s happy. This calm, collected man is behaving like a mischievous boy, letting himself be completely at ease. He feels so human, so lively... I love how much his relationship with Amala changed him. He makes her more powerful and confident, while she teaches him humanity. What it means to love and being loved in return. I so hope, that no matter what ending I will get, Ratan will stay the way he was here. Free, light-hearted and happy. He deserves it all and more.

Medic TF2 Observation

Look for months now I have been foaming at the mouth with some observations regarding his charismatic moments and how much I appreciate the approaches the writers made for his character. Though there's truth to what it says here, it's all my opinion. I just have to spew it on here. Read if you want.

______________________________________________________________

He is extremely charismatic. There is no truth in the show he puts on, when I watch him finesse everyone, he is so charming that no one can help but love him. Even despite everything he's done to them.

He is insane. Awful. Bad bad bad. He is one of the few amoral characters to ever exist (immoral characters are a dime a dozen, amoral are a rare breed though.) But. He's great. He makes us smile, and laugh, and gives us free seretonin.

The whole "I teleported bread" scene, just before Soldier was about to ruin the moment, I was looking at Medic, and his smile. His eyebrow raise. I've said this already, we know who he is, he is psychotic, but it is the way that he expresses himself,

Bro does not care. He does not care about the question. And it makes me feel so much to think that he really does not have any form of empathy or care towards anything about this man. He could kill this man. But. It's the show he puts on. He has to make people seem like he cares. He's spent years mastering the artful skill of deception.

Medic is an actor. His ability to lure everyone under his spell was the og deal with the devil.

Then this applies to other moments in Expiration Date, like the way he says "They're tumors! 😌" or the way he smiles at Soldier as he + Engie are walking down the hall with the bread. Or just the vibe he gave off while he + Engie were experimenting.

I'm not an AO3 author. I had a few things up on ff.net way back in the days of "before AO3 was a thing" but most of the fiction I've written isn't on any such sites (mainly because the formatting for them is pretty specific and I'm not sure sites designed to host prose would work with it, though there are some prose works within them and stuff that bounces between prose and the more bespoke format, but also "a lot of my prose is original amateur fiction and I don't think AO3 allows that?" People sometimes indicate it does but whenever I look at the TOS it doesn't, though it also has a really weird boundary on what is and what isn't 'fanfic' to me so I'm just left unclear on some of my writing if it would be appropriate to AO3 or not so I just... Don't...)

What that ultimately means, though, is that for the majority of my writing? I'm yelling into barely more than a void. Back in the 2001-2004 period I used to joke about having an audience of 2. I haven't been able to make those jokes about my 2022-2024 stuff (but some might be bots) because NeoCities actually has something resembling analytics for free acounts in a way GeoCities did not. And I sometimes got feedback via the forum that was setup back in the day, and sometimes the person who was letting people know which of the 20 or so of us who were working in this nanogenre had updated that week did a bit of praise to try and entice others to read those things. And the amount of feedback I've gotten went down in the 2022-2024 stuff.

The attitude I sometimes see on the peripherary of "If you don't leave kudos or comments your writers will abandon you, fanfic authors rely on seretonin" is such a weird reason for writing to me, completely alien to my experience of putting my writing up online. If I was looking for external gratification I'd be doing literally anything else. I'm writing because I enjoy writing. My target audience is, and always will be, exactly one person - myself. If others happen to enjoy it, that's bonus.

And I just... Can't get my head around why you'd be putting in that much work - I've heard about AO3 author curses and how dedicated folk on there are to Maintaining A Schedule and having just come off of a one installment a week for schedule for 3 years (plus three weeks where I went one a day for, spread out throughout the project) - for anything else?

All in all, I can't help but wonder if AO3's comment and kudos system has accidentally gamified writing for some people, with all the drawbacks extrinsic rewards has to people otherwise intrinsicly motivated to do something.

(Though back on FF.net I did get a "This is the most disturbing thing I've ever read" comment on one of my works which... I don't know if it was intended as a compliment or not but it means I hit the tone I was aiming for for at least one person.)

My friend and I decided that 2023 was to be a year of chaotic good for the pair of us. We live quite a way away from each other in very different environments (we met online through gaming) and so as part of this we will be attempting to send each other something cool/interesting/just plain weird every day.

Today my partner was going for a run so I said I’d join him and we ended up down the woods (as we tend to do). These are some of the cool/interesting/just plain weird things I came across today…

This is Pumpkin being a fucking rebel. Apparently signs don’t count if you’re too short to read them…

Every time we go to the woods, a new bivouac has been built. This one is the best I’ve seen yet…

Primroses are already making their presence known, the floor is more green than not, and the contrast between that and the bare winter trees is really something

These though, these are my two favourite finds of the day, a portal to another realm perhaps? And a tree that somehow gets more interesting and weird the more you look at it…
