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

#I can’t stop drawing them#it’s been too long since I drew shippy things that i love#I rarely draw ships but these two…#i love them so much#they fight in my comics#a lot#but they also love one another#soldier 76#reaper#overwatch#reaper76#my friends said they find my soldier drawings sexy

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

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

Had this moment of extreme anger and aggression out of nowhere and ended up hurting myself and then i wrote about it, went out to get some coffee, chatted w the coffee lady for 5 minutes, watched an episode of amphibia and now i feel weirdly refreshed and hopeful about life and the future??
#self harm cw#idk if i consider it sh because i really just slapped my thigh a bunch of times until it bruised a little#like there's no blood nothing serious happened i just wanted to break something#then i found a bunch of scrap paper and i tore it to shreds before i did anything stupid with the scissors on my desk#looking forward to this tattoo appointment so bad. i'm hoping to 1) get something so pretty it will make me happy and calm me down#whenever i look at it 2) to get something to pretty in my left forearm that it will stop me from doing anything to it to not risk ruining it#and 3) hopefully feeling all that pain will like... discharge everything in one go so i won't want to hurt myself again for some time#thinking about all the things that made me feel bad was the only thing that got me through my wisdom tooth removal surgert#like yes... yes... pain and suffering... i deserve... hurt hurt hurt#anyway two gone! only two more to go#in one hand: it's a genuinely helpful way to handle pain and pain is inescapable a lot of the time so having a mental resource to protect me#is pretty cool actually#on the other hand: oh my girlfriend is gonna cry so much when she finds out. i know it's not good or normal or healthy#i really need to talk about it with my therapist. idk why i get so angry. nothing happened#i'm just glad i was alone and there was no one i could take my anger out on. because that someone is usually my girlfriend#and i love her so much i never want to hurt her#i felt so proud of myself when she told me one day she thought i wasn't an angry person at all#that i rarely ever got mad#like... yes... yes... i have succeeded... at making myself appear harmless... this is everything angsty teenage me ever wanted...#personal#when does this therapy thing kick in guys#maybe i just need to tattoo my whole body so i won't do anything to it#for now: toothless tattoo on my arm will protecc it from my crazy brain. hopefully.

maybe a little corny but idrc i guess. so: maybe i'm just getting older or maybe my age/aging is totally unrelated to all this but i find that these days, now that i've grown out of being an angsty teen looking for anger and hate in every corner of the world, i find that now i am more struck by kindness, especially in fictional worlds that are harsh and demand a character let go of their kindness and inherent goodness to survive and never be taken advantage of or things like that. i like when characters are so kind that it's truly truly one of their core traits. i know it's not exactly rare, but these days... kinda feels like it. i'm always struck by characters who fight to be good and kind and still believe in fickle things like love and other people. characters whose kindness make others wary of them and draw them closer simultaneously. characters whose goodness and insanely strong (fought-for) sense of love and humanity (and i don't mean humanity like humankind as a whole; i mean a person's sense of humanity, i mean people. i mean people need people. i mean people need closeness and love and things that like that) makes others around them more likable and ... human. characters whose kindness/goodness/big big big hearts humanize everyone who gets the chance to be basked in the glow of that beauty.
#long post#i think it's ma xiuying from swbts/hwdtw yanno#hwdtw felt so ... incomplete?/wanting? because she wasn't around for so much of it and the moment she became a player again i was like Ah.#Ah this is what i needed. this is what They needed. her humanity humanizes everyone else#and it's so beautiful to see the world through the lenses of someone who is pained by others pain#and their inability to do something about it. to change it. make it better. their inability to hurt. so beautiful...#i know its not exactly rare. but i think we as a people are missing a lot of sympathy and empathy in the world today#i think thats what a lot of humankind is lacking even me sometimes without meaning to. i think its hard to be kind in a world#that fights to snuff out that goodness that i think a lot of us are born with though not all. because nothing is generally inherent i think#i think its mostly learned behavior. i think its good to know that what you want to be as a person is kind and good.#such a strong sense of ... knowing. such a rare thing to want to be these days#i cant say i want to be a good person who is kind. i think i try to be as much as possible and thats all i'll be and its okay but.#characters like that...#and moira delacroix from evocation by s. t. gibson#ah... crazy#i think even ethel cain from preacher's daughter. because even after everything she went through#she still wanted to find it in herself to forgive and let go. still believe in love and be brave enough to love and be loved.#love is good and important.#sounds corny but thats what ive learned. we need other people and we need love and we need to be kind.#ma xiuying#she who became the sun#he who drowned the world#shelley parker chan#moira delacroix#evocation#the summoner's circle#s. t. gibson#ethel cain#preacher's daughter#s4pphoiduser

#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
