Do you like DEADLINES? Do you like writing to someone else's prompts, staying away from the stuff they said they DID NOT LIKE? Do you like CHALLENGES?

WELL HAVE I GOT THE ACTIVITY TO YOU.

Ever wanted to save someone's day?

I've been helping out with the big @fiabex exchange, and the final deadline passed last night, and there are— a lot of pinch hits from people who didn't make deadline. A lot of people had a bad October. It took three posts to post them all. All of these gifts have to be fulfilled before the exchange opens.

The reason I am here today though is that there's a segment of MCYT on the pinch hit list, and it's always hard to fill MCYT pinch hits cause there are less MCYT people who do exchanges! So here I offer you the breakdown of the mcyt pinch hits:

PH 72 - needs 3k 2k - fandoms are Dream SMP, SMPEarth, The Mandalorian (TV). You can see all of the requests at https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/Fic_In_A_Box_2024/user/Kryon CLAIMED

PH 77 - needs 1k - fandoms are Dream SMP, 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP, SMPEarth, Hotguy Comics Zine - Various (DFE), Origins SMP. You can see the entire signup at https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/Fic_In_A_Box_2024/user/Odaigahara CLAIMED

PH 102 - needs 1k - fandoms are 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP, Good Omens (TV), Hamlet - Shakespeare. You can see the entire signup at https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/Fic_In_A_Box_2024/user/adlerthetranscender CLAIMED

PH 103 - needs 1k - fandoms are Dream SMP, 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, QSMP | Quackity SMP. You can see the entire signup at https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/Fic_In_A_Box_2024/user/amaranthinecanicular CLAIMED

PH 144 - needs 8k - fandoms are QSMP | Quackity SMP. You can see the entire signup at https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/Fic_In_A_Box_2024/user/WhyB (I SPECIFICALLY want to draw attention to this one, cause it's only one fandom so that means they won't hold the exchange for this pinch hit to be filled but it being 8k means the person already turned in that much, so if you know anyone who can help with fitpac or animations family— let them know) CLAIMED

If these have gone out for pinch hit, this means that these people have already delivered a gift of at least this amount, and they need an equivalent gift. The due date is November 13th at Midnight EST— can you get a gift written in that time?

But wait, you could maybe write 1k, but not the 3k that PH 72 needs— that's fine! We can take it in small bites. You can just tell the mods that you can take 1k (or 2k, or however much you can take) and then the mods will drop the "needs amount" to 2k, and then we're that much closer to everyone having a gift. If 8 people do 1k, we can get WhyB completely covered!

If you can write a gift fast, adhering to someone's Do Not Want list, about the requested characters or worldbuilding prompts, you might be exactly what we need here. We've got Emduo requests! Animations family! DSMP Fiances! Scarian! Fitpac! Cletho! Boat boys! Preyduo! Watchers prompts!

You can take a pinch hit by either commenting on the dreamwidth post where the PH you want is posted here (tell them the pinch hit you want, an email to reach you, how much you want to take, and the Ao3 account you'll be posting from), or emailing the mods at [email protected]— (tell them the pinch hit you want, how much you want to take, and the Ao3 account you'll be posting from, they already have your email, but check the post to see if the PH has been claimed before you email just to save yourself some time).

And if you can't take it, I'd appreciate it if you'd reblog this, cause if we can get this in front of as many eyes as possible that increases the possibility of someone who says "great british bake off beeduo? yeah I can do that", etc!

Fandom olds: "Kids today have no idea how hard it was being in fandom back in the day! You wouldn't last a second in the hard, cold, unforgiving environments we made fandom in!"

Also fandom olds, in your inbox: "I saw one person who ran a zine being a dick and now I think all is lost. I'm considering not posting any of my work to the internet anymore."

As someone who has had someone leave a 3k long series of comments talking about how they wished they could paralyze me and carve me open, forcefeed me my own intestines, carve off my breasts and then fuck each hole repeatedly... let's just say I find myself pressing X to doubt when fandom olds talk about how hard the bad old days were. They can't have been that bad. One person charging once for a zine breaking you completely indicates, to me, someone who grew up without much adversity.

Why do you guys always send me this nonsense?

The thing people were afraid of in the old days was losing their kids in the divorce because they got caught writing gay stories.

Or losing their government job and chance at retirement money due to a morals clause.

Or, yes, enraged stalkers sending threats like that.

Or, hell, being outed as queer and getting a baseball bat to the head.

Serendipity

AN: Hello lovely people. As some of you might know, I participated in @the-oscar-isaac-collective's Coffee & Cream Zine which was released a couple of weeks ago. While I'll be posting what I wrote for that Zine here and on AO3 (I'm thinking one a week maybe), I do strongly encourage you all to head over there and download your own copies if you haven't already. It's completely free (and conveniently packaged in two PDFs)! There are so many great pieces in there that everyone worked so hard to create and they deserve to be enjoyed. PLEASE check it out!! (and maybe also take a moment to let each creator know what you thought of their work ❤️)

The cute barista at your favorite coffee shop has an affinity for bad pick-up lines.

Rated: T Words: 3,182 Pairing: Poe Dameron x GN!Reader Warnings: modern au, cheesy af, bad pick-up lines, time skips, please let me know if i forgot anything. AO3

——————

Java the Hutt was slammed today; the line for your favorite little coffee shop was out the door and down the sidewalk, almost winding around the building. Were they doing some kind of one-day special, you wondered, or was it just because it was unseasonably cold out today? In all the months you’d been frequenting the place, you’d never seen them this busy. You sigh in resignation, joining the line and mentally preparing yourself to wait. The line actually ends up moving pretty quickly though, and before you know it, you’re inside the warm shop with only three or four people in front of you.

Once you make it to the front, you greet the cashier (Finn), make a comment about the crowd, and order your usual. You stand to the side, scrolling through your phone as you wait for the barista to call out your name for pickup. They do so a few minutes later, your cup sitting on the table beside the counter. You call out a thank you as you grab it, your attention reclaimed by an incoming call. As you slip out the door, you answer, chatting idly with your friend Rose as you make your way down the sidewalk. You take a sip from the cup and hum, the warm liquid seeping into your belly and warming you from the inside out.

You hang up with Rose when you reach your destination, pausing outside to drain the rest of your coffee. Satisfied, you move to toss the empty cup into a nearby trash can, halting when you notice writing beneath the cardboard sleeve.

If you were a triangle you’d be acute one.

You blink, staring at the writing blankly for a moment, before huffing out a laugh.

This barista, it seems, has a thing for bad pick up lines.

You snap a photo of the cup before tossing it into the trash, chuckling again to yourself as you head inside and out of the cold.

—

You stop in again about a week later. Your workday had run late and you were convinced that the only thing that could fix it was a coffee from your favorite place. There’s a girl at the register this time named Rey and she smiles warmly at you when it’s your turn to order. Somehow, her smile makes you feel a little lighter as you head over to the side to wait for your drink and you’re grateful to her for it.

As you wait, you allow yourself to people watch, briefly considering whether or not to snag the table the man in the corner just got up from when your phone vibrates. Cursing quietly, you quickly grab it from your pocket. Just as you’re about to answer, your name is called by the barista. You return your phone to your pocket, deciding you’ll call whoever it was back later as you head over to the counter.

The barista is a man with dark hair and kind eyes that you’ve seen a few times before but don’t recall knowing the name of. Your eyes flick to where his name tag should be, but are disappointed to see only an empty space. Ignoring the disappointment that lances through you, you meet his eyes, smiling at him as he hands you the cup, your fingers brushing against his.

“Thanks,” you say, nodding politely as you back away.

“You’re welcome,” he responds, his smile as soft as his eyes.

Something flutters in your belly as you turn away, clutching the cup to your chest.

Your phone rings again as you push open the door and you scoff, taking it from your pocket and standing off to the side as you answer it. You sip on your drink as your boss rants about one thing or another, and you have to fight not to roll your eyes. Just as you’re about to walk away, you notice writing beneath the cardboard sleeve. Giddiness swells in your chest as you pull it down with your thumb, your teeth digging into your bottom lip.

If you were a Transformer, you’d be Optimus Fine.

You try to smother your smile at the cheesy line but it spreads across your lips nonetheless. You’re half-hoping he’s not paying attention when you glance back inside the shop, your skin warming a little when his gaze meets yours. He nods at you through the window, smile somehow both bashful and smug. You nod back, raising your cup to him as you take another sip.

His attention is reclaimed by his next customer, jolting you back to reality. A reality where your boss is calling your name through your phone. You apologize, asking them to continue as you start to walk away. As you do, you steal one last glance inside, smiling to yourself as you head home for the evening.

—

You visit again a few days later, your belly fluttering with nervous excitement. As you wait in line, you crane your neck to try and get a look at the day’s baristas, but are again thwarted by the massive coffee machines blocking your view. Sighing, you wait your turn, smiling at Finn once you make it up to the counter.

Once you realize your admirer does not appear to be working today, you sigh, your excitement somewhat dampened. You pass the time on your phone as usual, mindlessly scrolling through news and various social media sites you’re subscribed to. Absorbed, you jolt when your name is called a moment later, head quickly snapping in the direction of the voice.

It’s him.

He smiles when your eyes meet his and you can’t help but smile back. Something in his gaze ignites your insides, burning gently beneath your skin as you approach the counter. He waits there for you, sliding your cup toward you once you make it there.

“Thanks,” you say, breath hitching slightly when your fingers brush his.

He nods, the barest hint of pink on his cheeks. “Any time.”

Your eyes dip bashfully, catching on the name badge pinned to his shirt.

Poe. His name is Poe.

He looks like he’s about to say something, but then another employee calls his name and he turns away. Disappointment washes over you and the moment is broken. Not wanting to hold up the line any longer than you already have, you move out of the way, pulling the cardboard sleeve of the cup down expectantly.

I'd like to take you to the movies, but they don't let you bring in your own snacks.

His phone number is beneath it.

You press your lips together in an attempt to subdue the maniacal smile trying to spread across your face, chancing another look at Poe. Your heart skips a little when your eyes meet his again. He raises a questioning brow at you, you feel your skin heat, quickly nodding in acknowledgment and all but running from the shop. You’ll text him later to work out the details once you’ve gathered your courage a bit.

—

He’s already waiting when you arrive, shifting on his feet by the entrance to the theater as he scans the crowd for you. He looks good, his white t-shirt a black leather jacket, tight dark-washed jeans, and combat boots giving him a bit of a bad boy vibe. Butterflies flutter in your belly as you make a beeline for him through the crowd. His eyes light up the moment he spots you and you can’t help the little jump your heart does when he smiles.

“Hey,” you greet breathlessly, praying your smile doesn’t look as maniacal as it feels.

“Hey,” he responds, his smile soft as he reaches his hand out to you.

You take it of course, your breath catching at the contact. It’s a little juvenile perhaps, the silly way your body is reacting to him, but you can’t seem to help it; there’s something special about him, you can feel it in your bones, in your soul.

You chat with Poe briefly as the two of you walk inside the theater, your hands still clasped. The movie is good, or at least you think it is. Honestly, you were so focused on him, you barely even remember it. You share a bucket of popcorn, your hands brushing every other time either of you reaches for another handful. He’s so warm beside you, so solid, his presence oddly comforting given how little you know about him.

After the movie, he takes you to his favorite food truck, insisting that popcorn is not a sufficient enough meal. You sit on a bench nearby, talking and laughing as you eat and it’s nice, so nice. He tells you about his family, about his lifelong dream of being a pilot, about his cat Bee Bee, and you, in turn, divulge your own life stories, tell him about your dreams. Needless to say, the night ends far too quickly and, even though it’s almost midnight, you don’t want to go home, don’t want to go back to a life that doesn’t have him in it. He walks you home but you’re at the steps that lead into your apartment far too soon.

“This is me,” you tell him, gesturing to the door behind you, your other hand clasped loosely in his.

You want to invite him inside, want him to stay so you can keep talking to him, can keep looking at him (because damn it if he doesn’t get more and more attractive by the minute). He hums, nodding as he takes a step toward you, the action forcing your gaze to his.

“So,” he breathes, a mischievous look in his eyes, “Are you gonna kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?”

You snort, shaking your head at him as you try (and fail) to bite back an amused chuckle. He beams, as if making you laugh is his favorite pastime. You pretend to consider his question, looking at him slyly from beneath your lashes, then grab ahold of his jacket and pull him closer. He melts when your lips touch his, his free hand coming up to cradle your cheek. He’s warm, the taste of him sweet with just a hint of spice. Neither of you wants it to end but, regrettably, air is a necessity and you’re forced to pull away, pressing your foreheads together as you try to regain your respective breaths.

“Goodnight,” you breathe, smiling at him softly.

He smiles back, caressing your cheek with his thumb. “Goodnight.”

—

At some point—you’re not 100% sure when—the bad pickup lines just become his Thing; not a day goes by where he doesn’t find a way to sneak at least one into a conversation. Some are cheesy as hell (“Four plus four equals eight, but you plus me equals fate.”), while others are so bad they’re hilarious (“Did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine? Because you look like a snack.”). Strangely though, it just makes you fall for him more.

You’ve been dating for a few months now, spending as much time together as your schedules allow. It’s the end of a long, grueling week and all you’d both wanted to do was stay in and veg. You and Poe sit on the couch, curled against each other as you watch some mindless action film. It’s getting late and you’re starving but you have zero desire to cook anything for dinner and you doubt he does either.

“What do you wanna order for dinner, babe?” you ask, you hand splayed against his chest.

He hums, considering, then says, “Pizza?”

You make a noise of agreement; pizza does sound good right now. You’re so comfortable though, nestled against Poe’s side, your head resting on his shoulder.

“Can you call it in? Please?” you ask, looking up at him with pleading eyes. “You’re so much better at it than me.”

Poe snorts, looking at you in amusement. “I’m better than you at ordering pizza? Careful with the compliments, sweetheart, I might get a big head.”

Immediately, he reaches for his phone, dialing the number for your favorite pizza place. You smile at him brightly, then lean in to press a kiss to his cheek.

“My hero,” You tease, chuckling when he playfully rolls his eyes.

The pizza comes and it gets eaten quickly and soon you’re both nodding off on the couch, another movie playing in the background. Poe nudges you gently, and when you look up at him in question, he smiles.

“Wanna share your side of the bed tonight?” he asks, quirking his brow suggestively.

You laugh, shaking your head as you playfully smacking his chest. “You’re ridiculous.”

His eyes shine at your joy as he gasps somewhat theatrically. “Wow, a simple ‘no’ would have sufficed.”

You chuckle, slipping your hand up his neck to tangle in his curls.

“I never said it was a no,” you whisper, pulling him close and claiming his lips in a kiss.

—

You move in together several months into your relationship, a slightly bigger place with just a tad more space, and even a little terrace that Bee Bee likes to sun on. The two of you quickly fall into a routine, waking up early, going to work, coming home, making dinner together. Poe gets up a little earlier than you thanks to his shifts at the Hutt and has taken to making you breakfast and lunch every day. Nothing fancy, just some coffee and toast, a sandwich and some carrot sticks.

His penchant for bad pick-up lines has yet to wane, he’s even taken to writing them down. He leaves you little notes everywhere, be it in the apartment, your pockets, in your lunchbag. You smile fondly as you open today’s note, chuckling softly at its contents (“Hey, tie your shoes! I don’t want you falling for anyone else.”).

When you make it home that night, he’s already there, lounging on the couch. You greet him with a smile, dropping your things at the door and sitting down beside him.

“Hey, sweetheart,” he says, his voice soft as he wraps his arm around you and pulls you against his side.

You smile, leaning in to peck his lips. “Hi,” you whisper as you pull away, shifting to settle against his side.

He smiles back, his eyes roaming over your face languidly, as if he’s committing every detail of you to memory.

“Ya know,” he begins, his voice gentle and low, “If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone as beautiful as you, I’d have five cents.”

You sniff a laugh, your skin heating at the compliment, at the way he’s looking at you. You’re not sure you’ll ever get used to it, to his sincerity, to the unabashed love that shines in his eyes. It’s clear that he means every word, no matter how cheesy.

“You’re a sap, you know that,” you tease, leaning in to kiss him again.

He hums, smiling against your lips. “I’ve been called worse things.”

You chuckle as you pull away, gazing at him fondly for a moment before shifting to settle against his chest.

He sighs contentedly, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. You both watch the television in silence for a minute, your fingers mindlessly tracing the chain beneath his t-shirt. Not for the first time, you think about how lucky you are to have this, to have him. He makes you happier than you’ve ever been and you’re so grateful to have him in your life.

—

Sunday mornings are your favorite, not only because you get to sleep in but also because Poe does as well. Waking up with him wrapped around you is the highlight of your week, the warm solidness of him feeling more like home than any building ever has. Today though, you wake up alone, his side of the bed mussed and cold, as if he’s been up for hours. You frown, wondering for a moment if you’d gotten the days wrong.

Then you notice the smell of freshly-brewed coffee, hear faint clanging in the kitchen just outside the bedroom door. You smile softly, realizing Poe must be out there making breakfast and sit up, stretching all the kinks from your neck and back. Just as you’re sliding out from beneath the covers, the door swings open and in walks Poe. He smiles when he sees that you’re already awake.

“Morning, sweetheart.”

You walk over, smiling as you grab ahold of his t-shirt and pull his mouth to yours. You hum at the taste of him.

“Good Morning, indeed.”

He chuckles as you pull away, letting his gaze linger on your face. “I made you breakfast.”

You sigh, hand resting on his chest. “You’re too good to me, you know that, right?”

He tsks, pressing a kiss against your cheek. “If anyone is too good, it’s you. Now c’mon.”

You follow him from the room, his hand clasped loosely in yours. Your heart skips in your chest when he guides you over to the table and see all your favorites beautifully laid out, the table set for two.

“Poe—” you begin, so touched by this display.

“Sit,” he insists, his voice soft. “I’ll go grab the coffee.”

You nod, smiling as he turns away, then settle down into the chair to wait. Your attention is reclaimed by the food as soon as he’s out of sight, a warm ache settling in your chest. He was always doing stuff like this, sweet man that he is, and it’s rarely ever for any particular reason, it’s always just because he wants to.

Poe returns a few minutes later, a mug in each hand, and sets them both on the table. He’s about to join you, when he pauses, patting his pants pockets.

“Oops, forgot something,” he mutters, heading back to the kitchen.

While you wait for him to return, you gaze again at the table and notice something you hadn’t before: the corner of a bright pink post-it note poking out from beneath your plate. You sniff a laugh, knowing it’s likely one of his little notes.

I always thought happiness started with an ‘h,’ but it turns out mine starts with ‘u.’

He’s beside you again before you realize he’s even returned to the room, and just as you’re turning to look at him, he drops to one knee.

Your heart skips in your chest, mouth falling open in shock as you meet his gaze. “Poe?”

He smiles, eyes shining as he takes your hand and slips a ring—his mother’s ring—onto your finger.

“Well?” he asks softly, raising his eyebrow in question. “Wanna marry me?”

You chuckle, tears pricking your eyes as you look down at your entwined hands then back at him. You swallow thickly, taking a deep breath to quell your nerves.

“One condition,” you whisper, leaning a little closer. “No pick up lines in your vows.”

“No promises, sweetheart,” he chuckles, a teasing glint in his eyes as he leans in for a kiss.

If you enjoyed this, please let me know! I appreciate every single reblog and/or comment. Thank you. 💖

My posts

I have had the Month of a Thousand Paper Cuts (pictured: me) and I am, in fact, having a bad pain day today, BUT! I may be moving forward with SH2 commentary recording. (Commentary upwriting for a video that didn't exist has been slowly moving along.) OBS still hates me but we're gonna do it ugly (it's much less ugly than it was). Fuck it, ball, etc. Ian's next stream will be this Wednesday, 4/30, I think.

(I am still trying to figure out who my unexpected blorbo in the Silent Hill 2 situation is.)

Oh! I should mention! One of my doctors finally said, "Uh, you don't have to make an appointment and go to an allergist, Zyrtec is over the counter now," so I am finally Doing Something about my allergies (hypothesis: year-round, Dust and The Outdoors). This means that I may be able to write about perfume again soon. I was reminded of this by these Fragrantica reviews of Mugler's Alien, of which I have a sample. Previously, I wrote about Mugler's Angel, after my entire house stopped smelling like it.

Reblogs of interest

I follow Shirley Mansion on YouTube, where she posts like it's Instagram (basically, my subscriptions tab is video game playthroughs, Josh Johnson, Watcher, Dua Lipa's thirst traps, and Shirley), and when I tell you she could not give less of a FUCK what the Daily Mail thinks of her looks

Use these blacklists to block AI overviews and AI images in google searches and set yourself free

Emerald (and, separately, diamond) spectacles from 17th century India

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion effects from The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad (1973)

The history of coffee in Islam, or, the best rom-com title I've ever heard

bog tour - countdown to 1 year of games

T MINUS 4 DAYS

If you've not tuned in to a session of bog tour before, I'll enlighten you! In the countdown to my 1 year TTRPG design anniversary on April 1st, I'm making daily posts where each post focuses on one of my 15 published TTRPGs, sharing behind the scenes info, my fav parts, and stats. Today's game, 'seeing & believing: a lasers & feelings hack'.

'seeing & believing' is a one page game about the players psychosis symptoms to shape reality.

Thoughts

I do Not like my formatting choices here! One page ttrpgs are hard to format at the best of times, and I think I used the original layout of lasers and feelings too closely. My colours look bad, and I think the font is too narrow. Formatting is hard! This was also my first time using Affinity Publisher, so another struggle there. Everytime I see it, I feel frustrated at how it turned out.

Nonetheless, I still like the content! It was fun to write a game about psychosis symptoms that is framed positively. Maaaaybe it's kind of like 'this is a super power!' or you could look it as a power fantasy based in psychosis.

It's also my first multi player game (3+).

I also think I overpriced it, it was originally $3, which on reflection right now that it's not worth that, I just changed to PWYW. Maybe when I reformat it, it'll start to pick up after some advertising. Does anyone have thoughts about whether putting the whole one pager as a screenshot make less people download it?

I should make my friends play this with me actually. It remains unplayed!

The GM's create an adventure table originally had proper names as a threat and their role. Each of their names was a name of a historical psychiatrist. I took it out bc it felt too niche.

The Knowing as an element is inspired by a.c.d's phenomenal zine, 'I MISS THE KNOWING'.

Fav parts

The section about negative symptoms! You must choose one negative symptom that comes with your reality shaping, which RAW should affect your character at least twice a game. Reality shaping psychosis fun but still a lil bit of balance!

I do like the header image! Fonts are fun! It would have fit better if it was on one line, so maybe a note for the reformat.

Stats

seeing & believing has 113 views (the lowest) and 4 downloads (also the lowest by faaaaar). It has 0 ratings and is in 10 collections (2nd lowest). Seems like a few people put it in a lasers and feelings hack collection without downloading it lol. Maybe go give it some love?

'seeing & believing' is a power fantasy multi player ttrpg about shaping reality through the powers of your psychosis symptoms. Get it for pay what you want or koha here!

Tomorrow is our penultimate game commentary, with 'Earth Mother, Sky Father'!

Coquette/ Faunlet movies to watch on Tubi

Hey guys and todays blog will be about movies I recommend watching on Tubi.. Hope you like them

The devil in the flesh is about a teenage girl who has a craze obsession with a teacher that turns deadly

This movie in my opinion is like The crush if she's on steroids

Dirty girl is about a troubled teenage girl who goes on a journey with a gay boy in her class to find her father

I loved this movie the aesthetics of it was badass and its gives off Coquette runaway vibes

Yes, God, Yes is about a Catholic girl who struggles between faith and sexual pleasures also the irony of people in the religion

I like this movie because growing up Christain it hits home

Tank girl is based of a zine comic back in the 80s (I think) about a girl who saves the world from evildoers from stealing water and saves her friend who got kidnap by them

I recommend this movie GREATLY mainly because the outfits are so cute and Tank girl's personality is bold and funny

Before the dawn is about a teacher who moved to a different state to start a teaching job and creates a relationship with one of her students

I think the movie was ok put i decided to put it on here because the boy she falls for has this bad boy Faunlet vibe

Teenage cocktail is about a lesbian teen girl who meets a girl named Jules at her first day of school who introduce her to a world of being a cam girl but eventually turns deadly

I like this movie and I'm convinced that this film was inspired Euphoria

And last and not least we got.. Lila says

Lila says is a French film about a Arab teen boy who meets a new girl who moved in his rundown neighborhood named Lila who talks about her sexual fantasies and dreams in life

This movie is so good and sad I love the quotes and I'm shocked that this movie isn't posted in Coquette accounts even the quotes its so iconic

Ok everyone everyone that is it for the recommendations.. Tell me what you think? Until the next blog.. See ya!

Who wants some Really Really Bad Ace/Aro Representation?

So—I have a longtime fondness for corny villains from kids' shows. The kind that are usually purple, black, and red, oftentimes look like ghosts, skeletons, or robots, and—depending on the complexity of the show they're from—usually have motives ranging from "conquer the world/universe" to "destroy friendship and rainbows." Guys that look like this:

I love guys like that.

But once you age out of media for 7-year-olds and start hitting teenage media, when writers give their over-the-top wicked villains motives, they start saying things like "incapable of feeling love." From time to time crime fiction describes some twisted murderer as "asexual" to justify their motives. Etc.

(The villains above mostly skip this treatment, being from kids' shows; but they're cut from the same cloth, the baby versions of more adult media's "loveless" villains.)

On the one hand: stop using ace & aro coding as a shorthand for villainy, yadda yadda listen I'm assuming I'm preaching to the choir here and we already agree.

On the other hand: like I said, I'm fond of these guys. It's the old "unfortunately, queer-coded villains are incredibly cool." Like, I know 100% that if No Heart was from any series but Care Bears he'd be trying to "destroy love" instead of "destroy caring". C'mon, his name is No Heart. But also, I would enthusiastically invite No Heart into the ace/aro fold, no hesitation, no questions asked. (Never mind that you could toss an ace flag on any of these guys without even noticing. Aro flag wouldn't look half bad either.)

So here's the point of this post:

A few years ago I got to write a short story for a zine on asexuality. I decided to write a satire/conflicted love letter for cheesy cartoony villains and the fact that, for the longest time, "too evil to comprehend good, kindness, and love" is the only approximation of the aro & ace experience a kid might see.

I wrote a showdown between a cruel, heartless villain who wants to destroy the world and all that's good in it—Lord Loveless—and a hero—the Arrow Ace—who's been searching for someone else like herself... and is furious that all she's found is him.

Since the end of the zine, I've been sitting on this story for a couple years, trying to decide what to do with it now; and I think releasing it during Pride Month is fitting. Consider it a one-week-late offering for Aromantic Visibility Day. I'll be posting it later on today, ideally, if I can get some art done quick—I really wanna draw Lord Loveless—but I wanted to make a post about why I wrote it first.

I hope when y'all read it, you'll see bits of yourself in both the villain and the hero, and bits of beloved villains past that should have done better.

man i almost feel bad about posting the first chapter of s&ts today since the mianite 10yr anniversary zine is also dropping sometime soon but theres more than enough room in this tiny ass fandom for both of those things i think. today is a day we celebrate things we love and although mianite is not without its issues (good god does it have its issues) i love it dearly and hold it very close to my heart. my one regret is that we didn't discover it sooner because brother let me tell you if we had gotten into this shit instead of hermitcraft s6 back in 2020 our life would have been irreversibly changed in ways so vast and complex that nobody would have been able to comprehend the sheer scope of it. But thats beside the point. Might bake some chocolate chip cookies today yall want any?

May Check-In

This is a bit late, because I've been debugging the past two days.

So I bought Tropico 6 during the last Steam sale. If you haven't seen me posting for a while, blame by wish to be a benevolent dictator of a fake Caribbean island.

Onto the usual index:

Recap of last month’s progress

IF Events in the Next Month (I won't do this anymore)

Plan for the next month

Still long post under the break. If you want a mini version, head on over to itch.io as usual!

April Progress

From last month, what did we do:

Play more games: ✅

I started so good, finishing reviewing the SeedComp! entries, as well as the Revival Jam and had started on the Spring Thing... then I got distracted by the TALJ and Tropico... I also need to update @manonamora-if-reviews at some point... It's at least 100 reviews behind.

Finish the Code of Ch5✅ of Harcourt and edit the Ending Chapter ✅

YES! IT IS DONE! I have finally fixed those godamn doors in the maze that were giving me so much trouble. Also MelS has gotten my edits on all the Chapters/files (and was given extra comments because I also fixed some code in previous chapters). He is hard at work dying editing the missing text.

The only thing left for me is to: - add the maze visuals (map, book/letter formatting) - settle on a design for the final maze puzzle (need to so some research) - include the missing chapter/text (waiting for MelS)

Finish fixing The Roads Not Taken. Or An Eggcellent Preparation. Maybe the other parser too (it just needs a smidge of polish).

LOL... This is the shameful failure that is following me around, ringing that darn bell.

Should i give up on it? Maybe one day...

Complete the TALJ entry. ✅

I have been battling this one the whole morning trying to fix so many bugs. But I'm pretty happy about it. For one: it was actually tested by someone (not like last year). For two: it's actually an easy parser (like you can't lose!).

And the idea had been ringing in my head for so long, I had the prompt submitted to last SeedComp!.

But yeah, this had been happening for a while already. And even though it doesn't have the level of polish I had hopped (future me problem with updates), it is probably one of the better one I've made.

Anyway, play Lysidice and the Minotaur (I'll have an official post tomorrow). (and you can vote for it if you want...)

What else happened this month????

Well, the SeedComp! ended, so I had to deal with all the admin, and making the cool stickers for the different entries. That took quite a bit of time... but worth it! Some really cool entries this year, yet again!

Well, this is more of it's been done last month but released this month: Les lettres du Docteur Jeangille has been translated into English, for the Spring Thing (in the Main Garden, if you feel like voting for games). You can find the post there!

I've been also drafting some post-mortems, one for Jeangille and one for Lysidice. They should come out during the month, at some point.

:/ I have to update my website again now...

I wanted to do an entry in the Dialogue Jam, but my idea didn't pan out on time (too buggy for release). Or eer... cough cough... I had enough will power not to do it? Anyway, also I made the Really Bad IF Jam, which starts today!

What’s happening in May?

As mentioned at the start, I'm dropping this section from my check-in. First, it's buried deep in a wall of text, so no visibility (it should have been a separate post, oh well). If people actually check the events out, I'm sure it would be a miracle.

But mainly... a zine has popped up recently, specifically about IF called What's New in IF? (@if-whats-new), releasing weekly. Since it includes events, like the jams/comps/conferences I used to mention here (and it looks more sleek than a Tumblr post), I'll just leave them do all that hard work instead 😅

So yea... as long as the zine is happening, I'm out 😅 Well, I'll drop them links to my jams and stuff I see, because they seem to be looking for help in finding stuff.

The PLANtm for May

I'm playing Tropico, so I'm getting and will probably going to get less stuff done. Which is not a bad think. Breaks are important. Will I go on a break this month?

Probably should...

But if I don't, where's what I hope to do:

Play more games: On my juicy list I have: the Spring Thing, the newly released Dialogue Jam and TALJ, the Locus Jam and Really BAD IF is happening this month too (so more gameses!), and a few non-comp releases I've had my eye on.

Code Chapter 6/Endings: I need to wait for MelS for this, since he's editing my comments. I'll prob look for visuals for the puzzle in the meantime.

Fixing an older games. Instead of new, do something old.

Write the next Chapter/Scene of a WIP, because it would be good to actually do that. And make some actual progress at seeing stuff being done. (I want to write some Razac snippets....)

Let's have a boring month!

The 2024 To-Do List:

LOL, I've only done the website! :D

The hopefully maybe easy to handle To-Do:

fix the bugs in EDOC + overall the French version to match (waiting for Adventuron to get the French language)

fix the bugs of TRNT + find a way to add the missing pieces (giving up on the translation)

fixing the interface of LPM and the popups + check animal interactions

figure out the One-Button JavaScrip/jQuery issue...

edit the loading screens of the completed tiny games to include the program/format logo at least.

The 'Need a Bunch of Content to update but it's planned!' To-Do:

Update my website (bunch new title - also I don't think the logo clicky thing work...) + redo my itch page

Finish TTATEH (MelS dependent)

Finish Exquisite Cadaver (half-way mark by this summer - manif)

Finish P-Rix - Space Trucker (main path at least)

Update CRWL (it's been almost two years... I'm ashamed)

The Unlikely But it Would be Dope To-Do

Finish The Dinner as it was planned (and translate)

Finish In the Blink of an Eye as it was planned (and retranslate)

Finish The Rye in the Dark City

Fixing TTTT (at least fixing, maybe try adding some storylets)

And finally The 'It's impossible, but one can wish' TO-DO:

Remaster SPS IH (if I managed to start this after completing the rest... I'm going to eat a whole sheet cake).

Start the IFComp project (2025? Might end up being a ST?)

#progress #update #interactive fiction #check in #monthly check in #manonamora #geez what a month #why do I keep doing this to myself
