My Delightful little creature absolutely killed it the past two weekends 👌

Pigroll earned her Rally Master title, and got her first QQ towards her Rally Champion title. She showed up, dominated, ate snacks, and napped so hard she's a true athlete 💪

i think it’s interesting how the fandom reacts to the characters of will and steve and their individual cases of (perceived) unrequited love.

like with steve, when conversations about his love for nancy come about, a lot of people will reject it with: “he’s not actually in love with her” and “he needs to move on to fulfil his character arc of prioritising platonic love” and even “he’s pathetic for still being in love with nancy over a year after they broke up”.

and yet, when it’s about will, people will defend his (currently unrequited) crush on mike with things like: “well it has to happen or what’s will been in love with mike for?” and “it’ll be bad writing if it doesn’t happen” and even “will can’t just move on from mike, that’ll go against the thesis of the show.”

(granted the people saying these things aren’t always the same person, but it is common)

and yet if we look at their individual characters, steve’s achieved his character arc of realising the importance of platonic love, and will hasn’t really had good interactions with his friends outside of mike. who he has a crush on.

and i know what a lot of people will say, that it’s different because will is queer, but i honestly think that’s a weak argument (and not just because i don’t think will is great queer representation). queer love isn’t purer, nor is it inherently more important or deserving of a good conclusion.

(honestly i think the same can be said for the way a lot of this fandom talks about queer ships, not just byler, but i’m talking about will and steve rn so)

but yeah idk. i just think the way people talk about these two characters can be kind of ironic

WIP 001: Hilbert's Grand Hotel

Synopsis:

Being a doctor is a hard but rewarding job. And there was nothing more important to this young, recently-qualified doctor than his beloved Hippocratic Oath. It detailed all of his beliefs in his profession as a pathologist perfectly; first, do no harm, I must not play at God, I will not be ashamed to say “I know not” and so on and so forth.

But this was all upended when he landed himself in a paradoxical hotel, be it by circumstance or fate, hiding in his room with no home to call his own. As the halls and doors shifted around him, payment of his hotel bills eluded him (or rather, he evaded them) for three full months. Keeping to his room, reticent, he tended to avoid the prowling Staff Members; he knew all too well of their desperation to pounce on the opportunity laying right in front of them to send him to a fate worse than death. Once he was inevitably discovered, they leapt, and he was stripped of all his possessions. His room was wiped clean, as if he had never set a foot in it.

He would have very well died, there was no doubt, unless fate hadn't smiled upon him, in its own strange, reprobate way. 

Descending from upon high comes Dr. Roland Hanna, the Lead Doctor at Hilbert’s Grand Hotel, to save him. Impossibly charismatic, spoiled with power, cruel and unusual, the maddened tyrant wastes no time in making him an offer he can’t refuse. Quite literally, lest he fall back into the hands of the Staff - so he falls forward into the hands of evil. Even if the doors of Heaven close on him at Judgement Day, if he wants to keep his life now, he has no choice; his arm is twisted; he has to say ‘yes’.

(Character summaries and some more notes under the cut ^_^)

The Main Character (a.k.a. "The Pathologist" or "MC")

The main character, unnamed through the entire book, hails back to some of the most classic whump-y protagonists of the 20th century, much like Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby or Winston Smith from 1984. He takes barely any action and merely lets tragedy happen to him until he needs to act, and following his gut never ends well. He is hopelessly attracted to the codependent and horribly toxic relationship he has with his boss, Roland Hanna, but refuses adamantly to acknowledge it despite it bleeding through the plot constantly. He is perfectly inept in everything he does and perfectly insecure for Dr. Hanna to manipulate. All-in-all, he is the ideal victim of a main character -- he writes the book himself in first-person and you are privy to his inner monologue and descent into madness through the book.

The Lead Doctor, Roland Hanna (a.k.a. "Dr. Hanna" or "Roland")

Roland is very much the epitome of a Machiavellian villain. The ends will, without a doubt, justify whatever means he needs to use to get them, and he will see nothing standing in his way to get what he wants. He is a master of manipulation and a manager of both his own and others' human emotions; there is never a moment where you can guess if he is sincere or not. (He most likely isn't.) He also has some pervasive sort of attraction to the main character but is never truly explicit about it, always being hidden under some subterfuge to pull the main character closer into his grasp. Standing at seven feet, frighteningly saccharine, it's impossible not to be drawn into his charm and euphemistic language, and just as impossible to pull yourself out of it.

Other Notes

i felt like it was about high time to post about my wip! considering the first draft is nearly done! it's a little crazy to think about LOL. originally this was based on hilbert's paradox of the grand hotel after thinking about what the hotel would be like if it were real... and it erupted into this massive thing thanks to my english teachers encouraging me to write it haha. it's become my magnum opus right now and i'm so close to finishing my first draft, and i'm hoping to take it to a publisher once i have a few more drafts done! (i hope posting about it here doesn't cause me any problems with trad publishing down the line ^_^;;)

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 again, for two reasons. Three.

Reason one: I prefer to play games on console (so I can screw around on my computer at the same time), specifically Xbox (because that's what my day job involves, so I'm used to the controller), and Baldur's Gate 3 isn't out for it yet.

Reason two: I played it a ton when it first came out, when it was bad. Then I got an Xbox Series X, and it played better but still had flaws. Since then, those flaws have been addressed!

Reason three: Love the aesthetic.

Anyway, I just reached the point that enraged me the first time and I'm enraged all over again. Here come some spoilers.

So Johnny Silverhand lives inside V's (the player's) head, and he is a jackass. Nothing but. And at this point in the story, he has persuaded V to give him control. He says it's just for a meeting with a Fixer, but he immediately A) gets drunk, B) gets a tattoo), C) has sex with some chick, D) etc.

My problem here is that V doesn't get mad. V makes like two or three snarky comments, and then it's back to business as usual. This asshole just gave you a TATTOO. It's removable, sure, but that's because it takes up a Cyberware slot. Thanks for turning off my abilities, asshole.

So V wakes up, right? I want to at LEAST shout at Johnny. No dialogue option for that. Just "Well, Rogue's on the case."

Last time, I immediately jumped to the end of the game. There's a spot where you have to make what is described and assumed to be a difficult choice: Does V sacrifice their body for Johnny? No. Get this asshole out of my head, immediately. I'm not doing anymore little tasks for him (Kill Adam Smasher for you? Nah. Shoulda done that when you had your own body, creep) or anything. I wanted out of the game.

The thing is, the game assumes that you and Johnny become friends. Or at least come to some sort of understanding. But to do that, I have to progress this mission where Johnny has just absolutely betrayed my trust, the first time he had any opportunity to. He hasn't shown ANY positive qualities of any sort.

I assume this is supposed to be his rock bottom or something, and I am going to play it out this time. But MAN does it bug me. If it weren't for my completionist nature, I would be on my way to Arasaka right now, making a deal and cutting Johnny out. I know if I progress this quest, I'll get his fancy gear. But I do not presently want to dress like Johnny Silverhand.

Because fuck that guy.

When people say that having anxiety about being asked out is normal, im like......

Are you sure?????

Because I get anxious in a way that DOES NOT FEEL GOOD. It's HORRIBLE! THE WORST!

There were two times when a guy asked me out, and I said yes, and both times afterward I was just..... FREAKING THE FUCK OUT! Anxiety in a bad way, I wanted OUT of that situation, and I fucking got out of it. And in the end, I felt better :D

I didn't regret rejecting them, u didn't feel sad that it didn't happen, I just felt relief.

Con is coming up next weekend. Don't know why, and probably not the best impulse, but really just feel the urge to spend $100 on a single item (in addition to whatever else I get). I don't have anything particular in mind, either.

But the urge is there.

On tiktok you said you headcanon cass as an aroace lesbian. what spectrum in the aroace category do you see Cassandra as?

okay i had to look it up to make sure i was right, but it would be demiromantic/greysexual! (i'm like 99% sure)

basically just that she doesn't really crave a relationship/sex, but if she really trusts/loves someone, she will get into one and/or have sex, yknow? im personally not a fan of her being written as a horndog that only wants sex because it typically takes away her other qualities, but i can see why others would write her that way. i just think there's more to her than that :D
