idk what discourse dimension some of you "fandom elders" are stuck in, but in my ~15 years in online (and sometimes irl) fandom spaces, this is the golden age for me
shipping wars have literally always existed and acting like we all used to hold hands and sing kumbaya is insane. "well, there wasnt this moral component thats soooo annoying these days" okay but thats worse. you do see how thats worse, right? people used to tell each other to kill themselves over zutara vs kataang and then not even care when people were racist. twice as mad for reasons half as reasonable. also, where were you all in 2015-2019? that was the era of "steven universe is fascism apologism" and "i headcanon these characters as found family, so its incest to ship them". now shipping "drama" is like "oh i broke mutuals with them after they wrote smut of this child character being assaulted by their parent", which is actually just a normal response
wondering what torment nexus some of you are trapped in where fandom has gotten more toxic? hope you can escape soon, because im having a ball out here in a world where biphobia is seen as a bigger problem than a ship being dumb
#csa mention#incest mention#like. just a vague example but ive been asked to tag any and all mentions so i feel this counts?#i see a ship i hate and i keep my mouth shut and expect everyone else to give me the same respect when i post ships they might not like#do i bitch about fandom sometimes here and there? absolutely. would i prefer a return to how fandom was even just 5 years ago?#gun to my head you could not make me#like. im a w*ll stan. i have Seen Some Things and i have gotten upset by them. but thats just how every large social experience is#if its something you care about... youre gonna have opinions and so will everyone else#fandom will never be 100% chill and conflict-free. that doesnt mean i havent seen MASSIVE improvements in every#fandom ive been in over the years. its getting better overall everywhere ive gone. where are you all where its getting worse?

I do genuinely think fantasy high will stay with me the rest of my life.
#sometimes you just. see something when you're 17 years old and it changes you fundamentally#and fantasy high is so special#and i do honestly feel protective over it like. people coming to d20 now are so spoiled for choice#like you already know dimension 20 is good it's popular it's a known name in ttrpg circles#they're on fucking wired and vice or whatever#but. when it was me at 17 watching a bleeped 10 hour long youtube video on my phone at lunch#and getting the wind knocked out of me with 'he pulls out a gun and shoots mr gibbons in the head'#like. it was just different idk how to describe it#anyway. fantasy high i love you forever you mean the world to me they could never make me hate you etc etc#fantasy high

light fires at night (to fill the void) by inthesea is required reading for andreillers
#HOLD UP ✋ it's not on ao3. and if you want to read it... well i can get it to you.#BUT THE LINES IN THERE ARE INSANE. neil literally says you are a gun pointed at my head forever i cant run i cant dodge i chose this i chose#YOU#and there's so much to it. i literally keep that line in my mind at all times#its the type of line that makes you freeze up when you're in the middle of a task#the kind of line that forces you into manual mode and you have to remember how to move your body#guy who has spent his entire life dodging bullets chooses not to duck this one#and andrew also says that neil is a knife pressed against his throat#like. these guys will literally be like love is violence and then do the softest shit youve ever seen. and it is. love is violence#sigh.#do i need to sell you on it more or will you read it now.#also the fic is extraordinarily soft. its a 5+1 situation. andrew wants to say i love you to neil and he spends multiple years figuring out#how to form the words#and it's extremely in character. its the literal magnum opus of all aftg fanfic. nothing compares and nothing will ever compare#like theres fanfiction and then theres light fires at night#in my brain its fully canon. like to me this fic is literally what happens after the books.#you can find it yourself if youd like but i think it might be a little hard WHOS TO SAY. anyway#everybody NEEDS to read this fic i dont care. if i could beam it into everyones brains i would

i’m so curious as to what abilities charles would even have in rivals it’s hard to me to think about what telepaths can do in rivals esp charles who’s only rlly a telepath (and on some occasions has telekinesis) like emma has her diamond form jean has the phoenix and telekinesis but JUST a telepath in rivals is hard for me to think abt
i'm SO curious to see what charles' kit in rivals would be too but not because i doubt the potential of charles' access to abilities, i'm just so curious to see how net ease would play with him and what their ideas are for him. i could sit here and make ability kits for him all day really
even as predominantly a telepath, charles still has access to psionic blasts and waves and has demonstrated being able to topple sentinels and armies with these abilities. on occasion, he seems to be able to disrupt/interact with firearm functions and machinery on top of that.
and of course he has that little bit of telekinesis (not that i think it could do much all things considered but we'll give it an honorable mention why not)
we've also seen how telepathy by itself can be dangerous when it comes to the likes of inducing your greatest fears or putting you to sleep/rendering you immobile in other ways (though because of mantis' sleep ability i'm sure inducing sleep specifically wouldn't be an option for charles.), and we've seen telepathy used to buff others when it comes to stabilizing their mood/easing anxieties.
charles has even used his powers on himself to dull pains, so i don't doubt telepathy could be used to bolster the attack/defense of teammates/charles himself. if you really wanna play around, i could see giving charles a 'sonar' ability that lets him detect nearby enemies/see through walls within a certain radius of himself, but now i be gettin ahead of meself
i think the REAL question here is after the hurdle of What Would He Do is answered for charles, how would magneto be affected by any of his telepathic abilities.... ruh roh....
#snap chats#these just be some ideas off the top'o me head of course......#itd be incredibly funny if as magneto you couldnt be affected by any of charles' abilities AT ALL#at most i think just psionic blasts/waves since i dont think that's a mental thing- just a. mental blast thing. if that makes sense#i explained it on my twitter very briefly months ago of how i think that works but anyways#they could always just give grandpa a gun he was in the war he ain't above it#anyway can we tell i've thought Extensively about charles in rivals vEJRALKVEJAK#HELL if you added a hover chair for him you can hook that thing up with whatever weapons you want#however im p sure my post here is leaning charles more towards a support role- i mean thats what his 'leaked' role was anyway#if that leak is to be trusted at this point... but i personally think charles being support would make the most sense#also hi i had a bowl of cereal and now i feel like throwing up a lung brb i got an antacid with my name on it#update antacid did not thing for me and i hakced up a lung anyway. this baka life etc etc#posting this now so i stop thinking of potential charles abilities VJLKJAK LIKE I SAID i could sit and think on it a while#theres a lot of factors to consider and its fun to do so

every so often you stumble upon a random person who is so into their morrowind oc that it's really not even related to the game anymore. they have extensive lore. it's absolutely all they post about. and i think those people are having more fun than any of us.
#gun to my head you could never make me play morrowind and i respect people who do it willingly i guess#carly.txt

So proud to finally introduce cyrus becker, supposed-to-be throwaway sidestep that unfortunately did Not stay throwaway and has instead invaded my brain permanently
Look at him. Cutthroat. Vicious. Efficient. My most ruthless sidestep and unafraid to kill, and with absolutely NO attachments to any of the rangers
anyway heres him kissing three different rangers on entirely seperate occasions, chronologically ordered
#ignore how the hands are literal rectangles in the ortega drawing#unfortunately#hands are the bane of my existence#on that same note#you could put a gun to my head and tell me to design a costume and i would sooner spit on you than do so#so the fact i attempted to for cyrus really shows how much i love this man#im so conflicted about cyrus' canon ending man#at first i was sure it would be puppetcrash#but then i found out you could make a romanced herald watch argent kiss a revealed sidestep#AND that a revealed cyrus ended up with herald as his nemesis#and suddenly i wasnt so sure#oh cyrus#i love making you eat shit#the question is will i let it stew or blow it all over in retri#edit: i was so busy dumping about cyrus i forgot to actually tag this#fhr#sidestep#cyrus becker#herald#ortega#lady argent#flystep#chargestep#argentstep#she illness on my mental till i draw

was looking up the only ash wednesday song ive ever loved (offering of ashes. btw. or just ashes. tom conry 1978 i know nothing else about this man except that he wrote this song) (for fic purposes) and stumbled upon a forum full of catholics discussing the revised version that was included in the 2021 hymnal and boyyyyyyyy the trads HATE this song. it was a 70s piece and a bit hippydippy in the sense that, for a catholic song, it is low on guilt and strong on self-forgiveness, and the first guy in the thread just has to point out that the unrevised version was too pelagian to be properly catholic
#pelagianism is one of my favorite heresies and i dont even know how this song could be that#next commenter 'i wouldnt use either in church if you put a gun to my head' third commenter 'i love it when heresy is removed from hymnals'#so far im feeling great about what i want this song to DO in the fic. like i knew i liked her for a reason#she's actively contrary to the spirit of lenten guilt! she's doing her own thing! and she's doing it hauntingly#lots of the commenters dislike the fact that the song contains the refrain 'an offering of ashes' because the ashes of ash wednesday#are not an offering they're *an outward sign of penance*#which even as a child i thought was sort of self-aggrandizing. like ohhhhhhhh we get it you went to church and we all see it#it always made me feel like a guilt trip if i washed mine off#i love when religious folks get SO up in arms about theology of lyrics in songs. girl i think he was just trying to make it rhyme#do you not have bigger things to worry about. religiously?#theology is like grammar. to me. it's fascinating to learn about its history and usage but some people treat it like the laws of physics

very interested in the type of training ada does to develop her fighting style
#speakerphone!#obvs shes working with knives. i would argue shes likely on krausers level if not above him.#there is a flip she does in 6 that makes me think shes got some strong gymnastics training#how she lifts her legs up in damnation tells me she has incredible core strength (evident in her body control when using the grapple gun)#the power in her kicks is on par with leons and its only increased when used in combinations w hookshot.#frankly so much of her fighting style tells me she should also be fucking huge. but alas she is a woman and capcom is not going to let women#be anything other than thin with curves.#i guess i can see that as a spy she doesnt want to be HUGE so she doesnt draw attention while on missions. but also? shes a character made#by people w real world biases including misogyny. so. that point is kinda moot.#you know who else i dont think is thin and curvy? jill. in my head shes got very broad shoulders and very muscular arms#(evidenced by her ability to hold the plasma rifle and gun) (and obvs theres no way she can hold it as a human. but if she could she'd have#huge arms and broad shoulders) and that is my truth‼️‼️‼️

#audio#putting my head through a wall saturday#this song makes me think about a few things but rn I'm thinking about LR on top of n beating the shit out of FP (their illegitimate father)#maybe he'd even be interested to know that his child has his explosive violent anger despite them never having met#maybe he'd be proud#it would at least make him smile#LR would be so fucking angry. they're 22 n he's 58 so it's a possibility they could win if he couldn't reach his gun#which he usually carries in a holster the front of his pants so if they're sat on top of him he can't reach it#idk if it would be a blind rage of punching him till he stops moving or a screaming crying spitting clawing thing#probably depends on His reaction#if he says anything. like in the middle of the violence he goes ''you really are my kid'' LR would likely start crying#and get sloppy so if FP really cared to live through that situation he could probably throw them off#but frankly I think he'd find it pretty fitting his adult child he never knew existed would be the one to catch up to him#and he's lived a satisfying life by his standards#this would all be solved if he gave a shit n gave them a hug though lmfao#but he doesn't care#beyond the brief entertainment they could bring him. esp since he could hold power over them#eugh what a guy#love my characters they're personifications of my issues lmfao#and the fact that they have identical eye colors and very similar eye shapes. sheesh.#like looking into your own eyes

Grinning horribly with all my teeth bared......
#you know those trad christian boys who have SUCHHHH a stupid idea of masculinity#who go out for DRINKS who want to be the HEAD OF THE HOUSE who want to hunt animals shoot guns FOR THE AESTHETIC#or to feel Manly or whatever#and all of that being focused on Looking and Feeling masculine and not. like. trying to imitate Christ and follow Him#my godson is becoming one of those men and it makes my blood boil to hear him talk#whenever i try to point out hey maybe that's.... not the healthiest way to think or act he tunes me out but like.#in a really friendly and patronising way. like oh you're so cute your frustration is so funny#i know i err on the side of holier than thou when i get worked up but i do feel a responsibility for him#anyway not to be like i hate this but i kind of do!!!! i know it's hard for him to take me seriously but like could you not!!!!#T_T

i finished twelfth night. 25 out of 38 shakespeare plays completed.
#after finally reading othello and twelfth night in the past 10 days im not sure which are the most famous plays i still havent read#bc like ive mentioned previously ive always read the plays in arbitrary order. whatever piqued my interest#hence why i read the henry vi plays relatively early on. or some of the more obscure comedies#but lately since i past the halfway mark this year some of the more talked-about ones im like 'geez i should just get to that one already'#not that that makes me enjoy it any less. i think i mentioned that in my post i made while reading othello#i fucking loved othello. that shit was 10/10 although i very much was reading it bc i felt like i had to at that point.#doesnt mean i wouldnt love it. after all i only read shakespeare bc i love shakespeare! not bc theres a gun to my head#its more like i just want to know what everyone's talking about already#tales from diana#i think at this point the most famous one i still havent read is... much ado about nothing? which isnt THAT famous all things considered#but some of you ppl do seem to be awful crazy about it so ill see#i already knew the plot of twelfth night i had just never read the original. now i have#so i kinda already knew how much enjoyment i could get out of it. some! a good amount!#but i found it a quick read and i wasnt THAT excited about it#the next one i want to read is pericles though. ive read 8 shakespeare plays in 2023 but none have been romances!#i do love the romances. the romances are still the only genre where i havent read more than half of them#ive read 2 out of 5. the tempest and the winter's tale... two of my favorites overall#in a way ive kind of been holding myself back from reading more romances bc i needed to check some of my 'required reading' boxes lol
