TWST fic writers stop reducing Silver’s entire personality to just “sleepy boy who falls asleep all the time and is sooooo sleepy and tired and did i mention he sleeps a lot and also he loves his dad” challenge (impossible) (gone wrong)
#also if u portray him as LIKING sleep i will personally bite you#and before u say ‘oh but he really doesnt have a personality besides those traits’ that is incorrect#he’s blunt and honest to the point where he can come off as rude#he’s calm and collected and keeps a cool head even during an emergency#he’s a drama queen and often takes things too seriously#he’s not stupid exactly but can be very naive and doesn’t understand relationships very well#he’s extremely passive and rarely stands up for himself#he finds ways to blame himself for things that arent his own fault#he deeply admires and respects people who are strong and protective of their loved ones#he’s selfless and always tries to do what he considers to be the ‘right’ thing#he has a lot of trouble expressing his emotions and is insecure abt others not taking him seriously#he is so much more than just ‘precious sleepy boi uwu’#or atleast thats my interpretation of him idk u guys can do whatever you want#it just bugs me when ppl misinterpret his character so badly#this is what 2 years of hyperfixation will do to a person#twisted wonderland#disney twisted wonderland#twst silver#twst analysis#diasomnia#character analysis

#just a small request#since this is something that many of us have experienced over the course of time writing rare pairs#if you read a rare pair fic and choose to comment#please do not say something along the lines of#i would have preferred seeing a with b instead of c#or#it was hard to read a fic where a was friends with b but romantically with c#even if it's sandwiched between nice statements#that's... not the fic we chose to write and that's not the fic YOU CHOSE to read#i defo do get it if you would prefer to read the most popular pairing in the fandom... it's popular for a reason#but you can either go out and find the fic someone else has written that is a similar story but with the pairing you prefer#or you can try to write it with your preferred pairing you know?#and you can just leave the writer of the rare pair out of that lol#i promise we already know what we are writing is not to the liking or preferences of most everyone out there#we definitely know#thank you for giving it a try! i know that's a big big deal for a lot of people!#buuuuut also it just... does take a little bit of the shininess and enjoyment out of it seeing these kinds of things too#thaaaaaank youuuuuuu and please know i'm saying this with love and kindness and understanding#and that i really hope i'm not making anyone feel directly pointed at or lectured or anything#just wanted to maybe give a gentle reminder/make a request hehe

2024 reads / storygraph
The Loudest Silence
YA contemporary
a newly Deaf-Hard of hearing girl moves across the country and starts a new school, struggling with navigating her disability and love for singing and lost friendships - determined to not make any new friends for the year she’s in Florida
and a boy struggling with family expectations and anxiety, after being made the fútbal captain even though he secretly ways to be on broadway, who quickly befriends her
bi & aroace-coded MCs
#The Loudest Silence#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#hm this was okay! it’s a sweet and light YA contemporary focusing on friendship and disability.#It’s a little cheesy; and I liked the immediate easy friendship (well; after a few false starts) and how welcoming Hayden's#friend group/family were. I like how they all jumped to learning/practicing ASL.#I liked how Casey was dealing with her newfound Deafness with a lot of positivity - the main frustrations being how other people treat her#but there’s also the underlying isolation and grief. At the same time it didn't go as deep as it could have with that?#The friendship is central to the story - but honestly I feel like Casey and Hayden’s relationship doesn’t develop past ‘they’re friends now#[continues other subplots] - it ends up being a bit telling not showing their friendship. And then she gets a love interest.#I feel like if you’re centering your book on being a platonic love story - rare in YA! - giving one a love interest kinda goes against#what’s supposed to be unique about it? Like it wasn’t overwhelming and I thought it was sweet actually; I just didn’t come here for that.#I always find it a little odd when YA contemporary books don’t explicitly name their aroace characters as aroace -#obviously I prefer an exploration of experiences to just using the word and nothing else; but in this genre; why not both?#considering various other identity labels are used and discussed there were various points where it felt like it was walking circles#around where it would be obvious to say “no I’m aroace” lmao?#And there’s a point where Casey mentions seeing an ace sticker on his guitar - the only reason it wasn’t an aroace sticker is bc#that would have ruined the minor subplot of her assuming he’s gay/dating his other friend. It felt like a slightly odd way to mention it?#but also I guess I appreciate it being evident throughout but also being a non-issue plot wise - while there’s a couple of moments#of people making romantic assumptions about them;for the most part it’s just treated normally for a boy & girl to be friends (as it should!#It does get points for mentioning people watching by conan grey LMAO (not that it really explores him feeling that way specifically;#but I mean same lol)#Overall plot-wise - there were kind of a lot of things going on and it petered out a bit? I wanted some more depth in some areas.#Also I feel like some of the references seemed out of date for current teens haha.#i do love the love for unusual pets (hairless cat and iguana)#aroace books#bisexual books

Honestly I'm also not fully happy with what they did with Whis this book
#morningtalks#asc spoilers#Not like they gave Whistlepaw a lot of screentime at all despite how relevant WindClan was all of a sudden#(nooooo that had to go to Crowfeather. Not like he's got enough attention with TNP + PO3 + his super edition + deputyship + TBC#+ Changing Skies now too. Noooooooooooooooooooo we really can't have a single other cat in WindClan be important)#At least Whis had an excuse. Making Additional Content for another book that readers have to buy and be USELESS in that book#But Whistlebreeze?#Out of all the fun names you could've chosen. Whistlebreeze?#At least it's not Whistlepelt or Whistleheart#But really? Whistlebreeze?#I find it boring honestly#It's obviously a me thing. I'm obviously going to take Whis' name more seriously than most because I draw that damned cat Every Single Day#But there were so many possibilities for really poetic and pretty names#But they stuck with the simple option. Whistlebreeze#I obviously wanted Whistlebird#But with Ivypool's Therapy Session you could've made an argument for Whistlestorm#Even if it doesn't sound good at all. The two 't' s really don't make for a good name#But it would've been better than Whistlebreeze as far as I'm concerned#-breeze as a suffix can be cute and I like it but it has little to do with Whis aside from WindClan#Whistlebird neither but it sounds fun and has a rare suffix#Obviously Whistlefrost would've been hilarious#Heck. I just thought about Whistlecreek. Kinda odd but could be a more discrete hommage to Frostdawn as a RiverClan cat#(Frostdawn is a good name tho. Pissed she's back to being a healer but Frostdawn is good at least)#I also love the -berry suffix but with Berryheart just being a nuisance it would've been a very stupid decision here#But I'm just annoyed that they went with Whistlebreeze. It's boring. It's kinda pretty yeah but it adds nothing#It says ''Whis is a WindClan cat.''#Whistle- is a hard prefix to work with. The 't' and 'l' at the end makes it nearly impossible for a good amount of suffixes#Because they wouldn't sound good. (Any occlusive or lateral would've been horrendous. That's why Whistlelight sounds bad. Too many L's)#Whistlebreeze does sound nice at least but again it's bland and I am disappointed and really they could've done so much#With this name. Whistle is a difficult prefix but it offers so much poetic potential

okay in fleabag the fourth wall breaks are a metaphor for dissociation yes i will agree with that but i don’t see people talk about how it’s also her performing for an audience - she is using this imagined audience in order to feel seen and heard in a way she isn’t in her real life, a way for her to validate herself through the lens of others and when hot priest calls her out on it it’s because he is actually!!! seeing her!! and when they’re having sex it’s the first time she pushes that audience away and refuses to perform she is present in that real life moment and being seen etc by hot priest. i’d argue that the dissociation goes hand in hand with that performance like she dissociates in order to perform for an imagined audience and also i think that other interpretation of the fourth wall breaks are valid i don’t think there’s one complete and total explanation/answer as to what they mean. much like in real life our coping mechanisms are often used in response to a multitude of situations/traumas and can represent multiple things about our psyche !! anyway just wanted to share my thoughts
#obviously having lots of fleabag thoughts i had to get them out#i just think fleabag’s audience is a very very important part of her story and character#and how she is always performing for this imagine audience and for everyone in her life she is rarely being honest with the people she loves#because that is vulnerable terrifying too much etc !! She is Too much so she acts extroverted and funny and performs for everyone always#until the hot priest who cuts through it and sees her even when she’s still performing for him and she is forced to be honest#even when she is thinking only in terms of wanting to fuck him#and that is how she finds herself loving him abs also how their love/his love changes her for the better!!!!#anyway :-)#fleabag#fleabag meta#laura says some things

You put a lot of effort into hating some shit you could've just blocked or not read (like how you didn't read the book)
Starting to wonder if you're someone who enjoys my essayposts and thinks stirring the pot might trigger me into writing more. Sorry, I've been essayed out as of late. I'll post reruns.
#This could only refer to American Psycho a movie I love severely and nobody reading my American Psycho tag would think otherwise#I couldn't finish the book bc frankly there's a certain rhetoric thing it does that I find very grating#everyone else talks about how the gore is so off-putting and I couldn't even reach that part. Solely the yuppie talk.#I WILL say that it was enlightening maybe even important - I realized a lot of books I've read prev were def inspired by Bret Ellis#it's rare to have that moment in the wild realizing exactly how influential something was#unfortunately I also did not like the books I think were inspired by this. But still! I'm glad to know!#american psycho

i often write about weird romances or at least romantic adjacent relationships but i truly never know how to end them. a murder suicide doesn't always work. but they can't leave each other and they can't stay together.
#there's one story#with by far the healthiest relationship of the bunch#and idk. they wouldn't escape together#they really wouldn't#they'd want to#but i can't see them growing as people that much#i really struggle with endings#i mostly write vignettes#they capture a moment and they're done they don't have to be narratively satisfying#and i love that#the ending rarely finds itself easily in my longer works#i just want to write unsatisfying endings tbh#but making the unsatisfactory aspect essential#my vignettes leave a lot unsaid. and the reader wonders whether it'll ever be said#i like the restriction of it#you won't see the whole thing. you don't know these characters well#but they're part of this narrative no one ever gets to see. i like the openness of it#and obviously you can have open endings in longer works#but it doesn't feel as. deliberate to leave a lot unsaid#because at that point you've explored these characters#honestly i'm a short story and vignette writer entirely. sorry to my english teacher who wanted me to write a novel#persimmon's rambles#just felt like talking a bit about writing :)

Never has my opinion about a non-antagonist character changed so drastically than it has about Shigure ok there might have been some before but right now I can’t think of any.
I went from “Oh he’s just a silly lil guy” to “*sobs* silly *sobs again* DAD” to “ohhhh….silly….pervy😳lil guy” to “ohhhh….silly mysterious guy???” to “oh- oh….😬”
#on s3 ep8#so idk#maybe he’s got 5 more episodes to change my mind#but idkkkkkkkk#aside from his pervy comedic relief quips#I LOVED that man😭#screw me for always liking the found family dad characters😭#but like as the story progressed I just found myself…#idek what the word is#do I dislike him now??#no it’s…#the ick#he gives me the ick#I know there’s a lot of gray area and complexities within his character and what he has going on with akito#akito is a discussion for another day#but yes he’s complicated#he’s morally gray#and I LOVE a morally gray character#but rarely is a morally gray character set up to NOT seem morally gray at the beginning and you see it play out#which is frankly a more realistic portrayal of morally gray ppl irl#but yeah…hence why I can’t for certain say if I hate or dislike him now#I just….ick#like woah man I loved what you got going for you but now that i know this thing about you#I have to actively force myself not to think about it or I’m def in danger of not loving all that anymore yk??#anyway#shigure’s character development just proved to me the only living adult characters in this show that are to be fully trusted are#kazuma and hatori#there’s probably a couple more but if I suddenly became a wanted criminal overnight and needed someone to protect me#these are my ‘find a trusted adult’ choices😭#fruits basket

as a north american who's a huge britcom fan it's so interesting to me that it feels like every other british comedian originally came from a double act (which seems much less popular here)
#like vic and bob. mitchell and webb. punt and dennis. fry and laurie. lee and herring#and my favs (rik and ade)#i also feel like the comedy scene is a lot more geographically concentrated and also tight knit there so it must be easier to find#the other half to ur comedy duo?? (which sounds like it should be a lot more rare than it seems to be in the uk)#i mean they seem a lot rarer nowadays even in the uk but comedians who are super popular rn (hugh dennis david mitchell bob mortimer etc)#came from double acts#i actually think its super cute and leads to great dynamics. i dislike individualism in general so like#PLEASE dont let the double act thing die uk#its cute!#nina.rambles#britcom#also bring back sketch shows theyre so cute. everyones doing standup or comedy dramas which i get but pls sketch shows (and sitcoms) r grea#actually i take that back. everyone's doing panel shows really. which obviously i fucking love but like yknow variety etc

#hello i come with an unpopular opinion. a complaint if you will.#i'm fully aware that what happens on (nsfw) tumblr is never serious. or almost never.#i know most of us talk to or have talked to our mutuals before. we've flirted. maybe sexted why not#and we've probably reused compliments on different people more than once#but believe it or not some of us like to be made to feel special sometimes#and when someone is VERY openly telling every hot person the same things over and over i find it discouraging lol#like why would i talk to them if they're gonna use the same compliments I CAN SEE them using on literally everyone they reblog from 😭#again i know tumblr is unserious and we talk to a lot of people all the time#i've done it before and will continue to do so. reusing compliments i mean. but i don't make it obvious cause i VERY rarely reblog people#anyways please ignore me i'm just ranting#i don't like to feel like i'm literally just one more from the pile of hot chicks around here#i think that's why i only talk to a couple of mutuals lol#I SAID MY RANT WAS UNSERIOUS OKAY i know tumblr is just for funsies and (most times) nothing real comes out of it but still.#have a good day everyone love yous

i am so apathetic to popular male transformers characters, but i have a simple trick to make me care abt them: i turn them into robot women then i suddenly start seeing their appeal
#grimlock would be so awesome as a butch woman. DO YOU HEAR ME DOES ANYBODY HEAR ME HELLOOOO#also crazy in depth conversation i had abt this made me think abt why i get rlly. apathetic abt popular tf characters#esp when i realize all the popular characters im Whatever abt are all men#but i always have interest in the female ones and also the niche little weird guys#you are looking at rare scrounge fan. rare wheelie fan. and Number 1 Fan of Blurr*#*when hes a dorky weird anxious guy. yknow the ones ppl dont care abt bc hes “annoying” and “ugly”#i dont give as much of a shit abt the handsome cocky racer blurrs#i realize. because tf fandom has a weird thing abt only caring abt how attractive a character is#and tends to gravitate to male characters for that aspect#like lets be real here. there is such a high priority in this fandom for what characters look best in porn. im right.#and ppl love the yaoi robots for that.#and i. am on the aroace spectrum. and do not find as much attraction in men (though i do sometimes. just less so)#so this doesnt appeal to me#so i find myself so incredibly apathetic or a hater to a lot of the tf fandom bc of this#in turn i do not care so much for the popular characters or straight up see them as red flags (admittedly im a bit irrational for this tho)#a lot of times i get a feeling like “ok whats so special abt this guy. its just another conventionally attractive man" it feels boring to m#so that might explain why i become more interested in these characters if they arent men#this is all being said from a nonbinary person that leans more transmasc btw. just noting that.#rando thoughtz

i know me and my friends tend to joke a lot over how red is (hc) huge and how hes basically caked up and down 😭😭but that genuinely comforts me because i can hug someone and feel super warm and comfy (aka chest lol) but i mean this in the most wholesome way i promise asdkaldkadjak <3333🥺
#youll get an eepy appleshipping art one day and you'll understand where im coming from#~ rambling#~ lovemail#this is me responding to that poll btw HEAUEHUAHA my main answer is still shoulders#back then i dont hug people (out of shyness) and in my last school hugging always was immediately recognized to be /rom so i rarely hug#but when i switched schools everyone seemed to recognize platonic friendship better than the last and i remember being hugged by a taller-#classmate of mine when i greeted him a happy birthday and i was immediately surprised over two things#1) he hugged me (which again - was rare for me because of last school influence) and then 2) his hug was super... warm and#i just liked it a whole lot - and given his broad shoulders its like i was hugging a big bear HAKHSAJFHAFHJSAF so yeah thats why i like the#i wanted to experience that again so i always find myself hugging my peers (doesnt matter who. i loved the warmth) and i always get excited#i have a classmate rn who im super close to and we always hug it out and it comforts me a whole lot (while also simulating that goofy feeli#of... omg (f/o) hugging me eeek LOL SORRYA DJASSJKFHSKFJFHAHKF😭😭😭😭#thats why i always appreciate seeing red a little bigger than his actual model because i always get reminded of that moment#yea <3#red.rom
