“I told you, a very long time ago, that I would destroy this place, everything you hold dear, and I’m going to follow through on that promise,” Hels breathed in, “Because a knight never says something he doesn’t believe to be true."

Hey. You. Yeah you. Come here. Closer. Closer. Go read Like A House On Fire by @hiding-under-the-willow

hate hitting the point in doing a thing where you're 90% done but the last 10% is a wall because it's about refining everything you've done prior

tedious!!! don't want to!!!! someone take the last bit and make it pretty!!!!! and finished!!!!!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the most liberating things about getting older is realising nothing really matters, and i don't mean that in a 'everything is pointless and futile' way, i mean that in a 'it's really not that deep, you'll be fine' kind of way. things feeling overwhelming and impossible is purely because you haven't developed the tools to deal with them yet, and in a couple of years you'll have those tools and look back and go 'oh what the hell, that was nowhere near as complicated as i thought it was'. and far from that feeling frustrating, it's liberating. it's a joy to know you're always learning and getting better and getting stronger and the path to where you are now has been paved with many mistakes but you survived them because honestly? none of those mistakes really mattered in the long run anyway, you got through them, and so you'll get through whatever comes your way next too

sors for being The Hater again but oh my god i can't get how much they fucked up Antaboga out of my mind. Some of my critisism might be rich coming from someone who hasn't finished writing any story so far sure but the basic rules of introducing and building up the villain before the final showdown are so ELEMENTAL it's not a hot take to say they messed up.

And THEY KNOW THIS! THEY KNOW HOW TO WRITE A GOOD VILLAIN! THEY DID IT IN SEASON 1 WITH GAVINDA! They built her up as a villain beautifully! She gets introduced in one ep, she has a whole different episode where she plays a huge role and we get to see her in-person, and THEN she also gets mentioned on numerous ocassions, keeping her in our minds even when she's not around! And at some OTHER points they don't even need to mention her by name because Teach Tech = Gavinda, so eg. when we learn that they've been sending Flora their tech to convince her to use it we know that's a decision Gavinda signed off on, too! It's great! It builds suspense for how the final confrontation will happen! When we see her in the finale it feels rewarding and RIGHT! That's how you do it!

What you DON'T do is you don't introduce your main villain in ONE EP and then NOT MENTION THEM AT ALL until the VERY FINALE! IF SOMEONE MISSED ONE(1) EPISODE (which happens frequently with episodic shows you watch on TV) THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHO HE EVEN IS! This season has so many problems so I can't say I'm surprised but I can say that I'm baffled. How do you do shit like this how did it get approved

Amateur Hour but I gotta outsource this. Aromantics. Heed my call. What is "romantic" love to a non-believer?

Bonus Round if you're not entirely ace -- does experiencing any amount of sexual attraction influence your answer? Also acknowledging that both aro/ace identities exist on a spectrum. Believe me. I am deeply familiar... with so many kinds of spectrums........... 🧍

Also if this breaches containment It's Not That Serious........... just a personal question. For a friend. Me 🙂‍↕️

Out here trying to just write a fun and slightly awkward first time but these goddamn men are suddenly out here giving themselves Revelations and Dramatic Moments and the best worst sex of both of their lives and I just

That is not what this is for

That is not what I wanted

But it’s good shit and I have nowhere else to put it and if I stop and go back what the hell else do I do instead?

[soft--dogs]

aaaaa i'm really excited about these pride chibis, i hope everyone likes them :3c i'm always worried about how long my queue is, and if it takes me longer than june to finish these, but i really wanted to do them. hopefully people don't mind if they end up going into july to complete, but i also might just be over-worrying as usual and i'll get them done on time xD

bc its been bouncing around in my head i think another little tiny grievance i had with totk is that i got to the end and just felt a sense of ‘well what the hell was that all for then’

just found out my tl works have been put on a website with machine-translated content by one of the same ppl who reassured me not to quit translation because it was "irreplaceably human" during a crisis where i was left questioning the whole point of my efforts when those exact "works" got passed off as something with just as much artistic merit

why do men feel the need to ruin my day

i was having a grand thursday morning. i'm in the middle of reading a 47 chapter fic that has my ass hooked

get a notification from a dude i've been hooking up with off and on for a few years now, had a bit of a falling out not 4 months ago, told him i was done with his back and forth of wanting me when he's horny then saying he's done and disappearing for a few months before coming right back bullshit

guess who's back spoiler alert it's not shady

i think its been useful to identify that video games are enough of a distraction for me to regulate harder, like ive been doing better at being off the phone and avoiding doom scrolling and shit but i had to implement a more harsh time limit for video games lol

like what even is the point of the adult timeline idgi being a thing. like yes it establishes even as middle aged adults they're still haunted by the wilderness & their consequences followed them but like. ????? that rly isn't given as much focus as it should be given. there's too much random other shit going on. there's too many outta nowhere things. esp w other survivors showing up just to fucking die one season later. none of the mysteries in the adult timeline feel worth it being there. the adult casting is Great, & i wish i could like it solely for that, but man. even when i start to like it, some decision is made that turns me right back off to it. :/

i stay for the teen timeline bc i rly feel like despite some minor, minor qualms, it's genuinely super well done & interesting. truly an incredibly gripping mystery that keeps me on the edge of my seat, & makes me gasp, but that i can easily follow bc all the beats Make Sense.

but bc of how good it is, im just like. man i rly wish Both timelines had that much care put into them instead of making me wonder why there's two timelines at all
