I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

#This applies to other media too #Like movies or TV or theater #Idk man like #It's a very the customer is always right attitude with books these days #And I think it has leaked into fic writing as well #People really get the “this isn't what I personally enjoyed” and “this thing is objectively bad” mixed up #Like people can leave whatever reviews they want on my books they paid for it #But I've had people who liked OFMD be like well I didn't like this because it wasn't OFMD #Well I didn't say it was did I?#And never forget that fic commenter I got who was like um I don't like that you had QuinObi in this but otherwise it was good #Ok???#KCrabb rambles #Writing things

#oops im rambling #am just talking abt my mental helth in the tags #i have no motivation to do anything #i must force myself to do everything #i spend all my time alone #bc my parents keep me locked in this house #and i dont have the energy to fight for myself even a little bit #but i lay down and look at images on my phone #and in the silent peaceful moments #it almost doesn't feel like im wasting away in my cage #but thats not the point of this #i just mean to say that i just lay in bed all day #and i cant bring myself to do things i used to enjoy #like reading or writing or making art #im trying to make more art but thats only so i can make money #not really for my own enjoyment #i don't even watch tv or anime anymore #its too hard #i wasn't always like this really #the only thing i do consistently now is journaling #i dont even feel sad abt it but i just c dont feel like doing anything

#mairuma #iruma suzuki #Clara valac #M!ik #Tbh it was always a thing that iruma was like that™️ but there something so funny about it being straight out confirm in a chapter now #That yes iruma is certified freak and probably would have not mind this kinda treatment if he and azz wasn't trapped #Freakuma really #/hj #Iruma really do be like I haven't experienced this type of love before and I'm not complaining!!!#There a funny irony with iruma the human being into while azz isn't too keen #Not completely against it but still kdjdjdkdkdkd #mairimashita! iruma kun

When They Match Each Other's Freak

#dc #rhato #Jason Todd #Roy Harper #jayroy #They're so fucking weird about each other that Kori's over there like ��Excuse me. What the fuck. I Do Not Recall Consenting to this.”#Roy achieved levels of stalking that only a Bat can truly appreciate.#Sidenote I see the first panel all the time but I don't often see the mirror from Pfeiffer's run #Sidenote I really fucking hate that you can see Jasons eyes sometimes in that helmet. Its not always. It seems to be like retractable lense #it's still horrifying #I wish RHATO wasn't allergic to giving Kori real clothes 90% of the time

some sam drakes :)

nate's theme 4.0 came up on my playlist while I was working on commissions and oh boy. that piano line about a minute in to it still gets me emotional shshdshs

#ANYWAY. sam's role as a sort of narrative ghost. fun! fascinating! devastating! someone play mikky ekko's who are you really #he's your brother he's a stranger he's all you had you & you have to relearn who he is--- i gotta lay down. jesus christ #uncharted #sam drake #GOD i fucking love the uncharted soundtracks. the strings! the chorus in the 4.0 theme!!! wind instruments!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aughghghgGHGH #LMAO i have such fond memories of this game. it's the only uncharted game ive personally played (ive always been Too Broke #to afford a console) (when the game came out my roommate at the time had a ps4 and my OTHER housemate had the game #and wasn't interested in playing it so I would play it at like 2am haha) (oh those were the days. the days when i could stay up late #like that and bounce back from it in the morning)

tried really hard to capture some of his whimsy

#this truly is a practice piece i wanted to try practicing both capturing likeness and drawing a smile #and honestly got so frustrated and kind of gave up and did whatever after strugling with the face so much like i didn't even try with the #clothes anymore and just simplified but they ended up looking better than the face maybe bc i wasn't trying so hard lmao #but i had fun he's occupying so much of my brainspace rn unfortunately #and i really tried to capture xiao zhan's likeness and his beautiful smile :) and i think in the end it worked out ok? like wei wuxian's #whimsy is there i think. like still need to refine and all that to better capture all that but first attempt!#long tags but i really was going through something #he's my bestie my beloved <3 silly little guy <3 #wei wuxian #wei ying #mdzs #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the untamed #wei wuxian fanart #mdzs fanart #the untamed fanart #my art #digital art #<- i always feel weird putting so many tags but also feel the need to try to accurately categorise #in a bewitched state currently. like it really is dire for me #posted and immediately deleted and posted again. tumblr fucked up my colours </3 it still turns green when i upload </3 can't fix it </3

thinking about the swathe of Tim & Dick disagreements that can be broadly patterned, "Dick is more openly distraught and ends up chewing out Tim before stalking off, while Tim's left standing there like 🧍‍♂️"

New Titans #61 (A Lonely Place of Dying, Part 4) Gotham Knights #26 (Bruce Wayne: Murderer? Part 10) Nightwing (1996) #110

and the sort of opposite, where Tim is more openly distraught and they end up physically fighting each other

Nightwing (1996) #139 (The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, Part 6) Red Robin (2009) #4

anyway no deep thoughts, I just love them and I'm rotating their arguments in my brain at all times, lol

(bonus: the direct reverse of the first category, with Tim more openly distraught with and chewing out Dick before stalking off, leaving Dick standing there like 🧍‍♂️)

Red Robin (2009) #1

#these are generalizations of course lol #there's always a back-and-forth between them even in the ones where someone is left like 🧍‍♂️ at the end #while the other makes a dramatic exit #also whenever I see someone generalizing that they're unrealistically affectionate always-get-along brothers I'm like *squints*#they deliberately choose to maintain that affectionate dynamic and work for it #or people saying Red Robin caused such a terrible rift because they'd never really fought before #or that it was the first time Tim was forced to realize Dick wasn't perfect #*squints* *gestures at the above* *gestures at Prodigal where Dick is a mess and constantly lamenting this fact to Tim*#*gestures at all the times Tim has witnessed Dick having shouting and/or physical fights with Bruce*#they run the full gamut of siblinghood okay #they've been through so much together and they know they can get past conflicts with each other because they've done it before #Dick and Tim #Dick & Tim #Tim Drake #Dick Grayson #dcu #batfam #DC Comics panels #post tag #comics reading tag

i lied i had like atleast one more weston thought to expell from my brain, before i miss this boat entirely. we're heading to green lands woooo

#god i had a fever this entire morning and afternoon so I think it was my inability to do anything that finally pushed me to finish this #seriously it took a month... disapointing #more disappointing is that i didn't have the time to tear up the internet in order to find what a professors break room looked like in 1899 #if there was such a thing #really tragic #ah yea welp im very glad it's out there atleast. I want to release all of my black butler stuff so badly but guh...#tragedy has struck and i have been inspired to finally make a person project of my own #so that's taking a long time #but not to worry after like 5 years and some pondering i know well that black butler will always be one half of my brain #coooool #anyway i got more dorky stuff coming I hope??? wasn't lying before I am thinking of the midfords #and ill pray i can find the strength to get everything done soon #hope my rants are more tasteful after months of absence if ur still here #kuroshitsuji #black butler #kuroshitsuji fanart #fanart #sebastian michaelis #digital art #animation #animatic #video #weston college arc #black butler anime #black butler agares

i wonder how many more people would've vehemently hated gale right off the bat on full release if his introduction conversation had stayed like this or something similar

#i wasn't realy involved in any discussions during ea but i do know a lot of people didn't trust or like gale then #but i always really loved the wind imagery he uses with his phrasing here #and the way he casually walks out of the portal like it's effortless and then stands over you literally talking down to you #in the full release your first impression of him is a guy stuck with no way to free himself without your help #then when you do help him he's very friendly and kind and doesnt come across as threatening at all. and you talk to him on level ground #even his most dismissive remark about the player's magic or lack of it just after meeting him doesn't come across as strong as this one imo #also. i have like no other clips from ea saved other than this one lol #baldur's gate #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #★

going through some old logs, and I need you to understand just how truly unhinged early 2010s RP omegle was.

genuinely you could stay on there for hours with just one person, hashing out complex traumatic backstories, drawn-out love confessions, detailed action scenes...collaboratively describing graphic violence, past abuse, comfort, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort, any number of sex acts...and then one of you would be like, "oh haha it's 2AM! I have to sleep :(" and the other person would say, "omg saaaame. :( gnight!!!" and then you'd exit the chat and never speak to each other again, and this was. fine.

you could just spend an entire evening shoving your wretched, bleeding soul into a chat log with someone you'd never meet or learn the name of, achieve some form of emotional catharsis, and then go about your day or night like this was an average way to spend your time.

I'm really normal about this, actually
