posting my gifs these days and seeing how they look and how they’re doing statistically-wise makes me think about ✨that anon✨ from a few days ago who said that my content doesn’t deserve any engagement

what if they were right in the end?

i love it when shit happens in my life that dredges up old wounds and coincidentally im re-experiencing the media i intrinsically link it to cause then i get to remember exactly why i love it and find it so meaningful all over again. there's a fucking reason ill always say Berserk [& RGU] both came into my life at a perfect fucking time and holy shit they fucking resonated with me so hard and as much as life can suck ass and lovvves kicking me in the balls when ive just recovered from last time i a least get to remember how & why i love something so much.

ok so here. here's the thing about giving silurian magic in the webtoon,, i think it actually diminishes her character a little bit?

because listen listen the thing about silurian is that she's,, just a girl. she's just a girl. that's how her father sees her, that's how everyone around her treats her and that's all she has known her entire life. she's just a girl, she can't even inherit her father's title nor be his heir because to him she's just his daughter who he loves very much but who one day he'll marry off to a hopefully good man to get an heir who'll take care of his city. and she knows this. she's not,, happy about it but she's aware of it. and then one day, this horrible thing happens in her city, this terrible very not good thing happens and there's a lot of people, her people, in danger and the one behind this is a man who everyone trusted and believed in and it turns out he's been killing innocents this whole time and is planning to kill thousands more. and silurian is just a girl right? she's just a girl, nothing very much special about her. but this is her city and this is her people and she can't just sit around and wait for everyone to die.

so she stands up and does something about it.

and she's just a girl so it may end up with her death. that's a very real possibility. but this is her responsibility and she won't stay down when the people around her need help.

and there's just something very poignant to me about a character that doesn't have much power nor is expected to accomplish a great amount of things to look around them and decide they still want to help. that even when surrounded by amazing people and terrible odds, they in their normalcy still can and must help in whatever way they can. especially when the narrative acknowledges this and shows that their efforts were not in vain and they deserve the same recognition as more powerful characters.

that's kind of the point of silurian's character. she was brave and she was kind and her death was a tragedy not because she was in a relationship with one of the male characters but because she was a good person who wanted to protect others with what little power she had and she didn't deserve to die.

so to give her powerful magic that allows her to easily defeat what was supposed to be a major villain in the original novel in which she died,,, kinda misses the point a little?? imo??

so,,, that's the thing. about giving silurian magic

logically i know that jawnbie has very little fan content because he has (proportionally) very little screen time compared to other characters in the red dead franchise... but consider the following:

- i think he's hot

- i think he's interesting

- i think he should have more fics/art/gifsets

also like. seeing some secondhand ‘theyfab’ discourse floating around and really i just feel like. those of us to whom that label could be douchily applied aren’t confused abt how anybody sees us, you know? but we’ve chosen to embrace a vision of gender that’s more expansive than that, and solidarity with our more unambiguously visibly/physically trans siblings, and i don’t really see that it serves anyone to say ‘actually transness is defined entirely by the body and applies to as small a group as we can make it, and everyone else is Basically Cis’—that was a bad, narrow idea wrt queerness and it was a bad, narrow idea wrt disability and it’s a bad, narrow idea wrt transness. the bigger we make the group the better. maybe eventually we can get big enough to swallow so-called normalcy whole.

‘ummm you shouldn’t tag your writing of a character with [x] as #[x] you’re clogging the community tag :/’

beloved a) if it contains [x] and someone wants to find/block a post with [x], and my post is tagged #[x], it’s a very reasonable and TOS abiding thing to do and

b) do you think the #actually[x] tag is just for quirky points? that tag originated bc autism moms wouldn’t shut up or get out of the autism tag. hence #actuallyautistic was born, which spread to things like BPD or disability or chronic illness. THAT is you community tag, because it’s used by people who are #actually[x]. if someone without [X] writes a character/headcanon/meta about a story with [x] they are within their rights to tag it as [x] but not actually[X] because they are not actually[X].

how is this controversial.

Oh god. I'm just now remembering that you used to be able to permanently hide YouTube videos from your subscription page. I would obsessively watch and then hide every single video from the YouTubers I followed. Then they got rid of that feature and now I barely consume any of the content from most of the channels I'm still subscribed to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Savanaclaw Imprinting on You

I have nothing cheeky to say. Let's do this.

Warnings: My gross misunderstanding of animals, Bullying Leona for being a big chonk

Characters: Ruggie, Jack, Leona

Ruggie imprinting on you is an "oh shit" moment for him. He lives his life so casually and when he sees you, like really sees you for the first time, he's acting unwise. Ruggie will do things for you that he wouldn't for anyone else. He doesn't ask for you to return the favor. He even shares his food.

Now this last one is particularly special for him given that he values food more than his peers. Food is how he communicates and finds pleasure. I won't get too far into the feederism side, but I think there'd be a lot of "You should eat. Have you had breakfast?"

But it's not all picnics and dandelions. Hyenas are pretty scary if you piss em off. So if one of your guy friends touches you the wrong way or tries to tease him about his sudden obsession with you, he will go on the offense. Lots of growling and hes ready to turn them into a hashtag. You gotta drag him away every single time.

"Dude, you can't just go around picking fights with everyone! What's your damage, Ruggie?"

"I wouldn’t be so mad if those assholes kept their hands off of you!"

"That's what this is about? They mess around all the time, it's not a big deal."

"It is to me! I don't like it!"

"Okay, but why though? Why would you give a fuck?" You shake your head, frustrated by the look he was giving you.

"Because I'm jealous!" He barks. "I don't want anyone else touching you but me!" Everything is quiet as you try to process what he just said.

"Ruggie...what-"

"I like...being around you all the time. And all I can think about is you. And...ugh...this is so stupid." His cheeks are cute and pink as he mumbles his way though his confession. And you, you're smiling. Seeing him get so real with you is so sweet and touching. As he's trying to justify his behavior, you place a sweet kiss on his nose. Then he's all shishishi cause he got kissed.

When Jack imprints on you, he's pretty tsundere about it. Suddenly he's hanging around you and by extension the other first years. Its not like he loves you and how you smell and the way you laugh at your dumbass friends. He just...needs to be within five feet of you at all times. Oh, and that tail? It's wagging every single time you acknowledge him or give him attention. The most antisocial boy is suddenly craving your affection.

And of course Ace is gonna clown him for it. Though it feels a little bit different. "Is there somethin you're not telling us? No fair that you two have A Thing going on the down low."

"What are you even talking about?" Jack crosses his arms, clearly trying to keep cool.

"Come on, dude. You lit up when Prefect sat next to you," Ace pouts at the both of you before calling you out too. "Are you together?!"

"Wh-what?! What would make you think that?!"

And all of your friends have examples. Waay too many. And then, Ortho says, "You know, imprinting can happen to beast men too. There's a chance that-"

"What happens between me and Prefect is our business. I didn’t ask any of you to help me confess either."

Major self report. His tail is going a trillion per hour and he realizes what he just said. "Damn it."

"Ha! I knew it!" Ace chortles.

"Wow...that was pretty bold, Jack," Epel hides his grin behind his hand. As for you...

Well, you're smiling like an idiot. It's not like you haven't been purposefully saying and doing things to see his tail wag, make his ears flicker and see him smile a little. You can't pretend to be shocked as you look at Jack for a response. "Well, I guess I should have been honest from the start..."

So there you are, resigned to be a pillow for the biggest cat you've had the misfortune of knowing. Leona loves your thighs and like hell he's going to pass up on your free period to get some sleep. You've accepted your fate, but your legs are just as comatose as he is. As you try to shift around, this catman actually whines in protest. Inside, he's praying you didn't hear it. "Stop moving," he manages to say.

So, Leona's imprinted on you. Now what? Well, you're gonna know quite quickly. Like, it's kind of not a secret since Leona is so shameless with everything he does. Though, he won't actually say "I've imprinted on you." His actions are all the confirmation you need. Actually, he's the most overbearing because he will just drag you away from whatever you're doing just to take a nap with him. Are you in the greenhouse for a class? Well, too fucking bad. Leona wants you to give him attention. You know. Like a cat.

"M'leg's asleep," you complain. "Plus you're heavy."

"Neither of these are my problem."

"You're literally responsible for both."

"You callin me fat?"

"...maybe I am," Leona opens one eye to glare up at you. He wants to be mad. But seeing you so pleased by his reaction makes him melt a little. "What? All you do is eat and sleep what else am I supposed to think?" To your surprise, he sits up. You're about to ask but he flops on top of you, sending you both into the soft patch of grass. Leona's spooning you and your face is buried in his fat (and kind of fuzzy) tits. "Seriously?!"

"Look, you're just going to have to deal with the fact that you're one of the few people I can tolerate."

He's a real piece of work, isn't he? Still, his body is kind of warm and cuddly, huh? He would probably get mad if you said that out loud though.

reading the comments in that “is RPF ok” poll is so fucking distressing, istg. the majority of comments seem to fall into “sure, it’s fine as long as it’s just fluff/not shippy/what they would do IRL” or “no that makes me uncomfortable so clearly it’s bad” with a side of “well if they consent, it’s fine.” which… i suspect that last one is a big piece of how we get people confronting celebrities with fic, which is actually not okay.

fan fiction has become too mainstream. it’s not meant to be something you talk about on The Voice, and you shouldn’t be reading fics on tik tok and hashtagging them so that millions and millions of people see them. because when that sort of thing happens, we get this push to sanitize everything - the RPF, the kink, the dark fic. this is the same fight as “there shouldn’t be kink at pride because uwu makes me uncomfy”. rpf, like all other fan fiction, is FICTION, and thus there are no moral lines in it about “well, it’s ok, but don’t write about them killing anyone” or “well, it’s fine, but don’t ship anyone underage.” y’all are the same as the book banners going to libraries and weeding out “objectionable” books, you’re just too caught up in “but it makes me feel weird” to realize it.

yes! some things will make you uncomfortable! that does not make them morally wrong. also! some things will seem fine to you, and still be morally bad. please, for the love of all things holy, go learn that.
