THOIGHTS ON HYPERSOMNIA (error x ink x dream)..?

Going to be honest I didn't consider this ship till I saw your account talking about it

Quick Edit: Somehow I accidentally convinced myself I like this ship by doing this?? LMAO

im going just off whatever my brain says so... hopefully it makes sense? I'm going to stretch things to make this work okay bare with me. That and I haven't had years to build headcanons so some of these are off the cuff. Nothing is canon obviously

I tried to wrap my head around how I would do it in my interpretation, and I decided perhaps if error calmed the hell down and realized maybe destroying universes shouldn't be ur life's goal. Due to morality difference I had trouble picturing dream being personal with error otherwise. I think perhaps some of these things dream/ink picked up on whether it being kidnapped by error or just via battle or something idk lol.

Due to Dream's empathy and knowledge of people he understands Error's motivations stem from a source of anger and not ration. Dream calls him out on it and Error feels a little violated by how accurate he gets it. Perhaps if Error did give up on destruction someday dream would be there to help him with his new identity???

More yapping under the cut

Ink, Error and Dream all relate to being outcasts and their own isolation due to the their roles (whether they bestowed it upon themselves or not). They're all lonely af (LMAOO).

I personally hc both ink and dream can lift way more than their weight. Ink not to dream's extent but he definitely is stronger than he appears. Error is perplexed with this information.

I never understood the " restores the balance thing" so personally I believe this was misconception dream had before he got to know error! Perhaps this manifested as rumors in the multiverse and error was rumored to be actually helpful instead of harmful. Also dream believed people had better intentions then they truly do at one point but as dream matures he realizes this isn't the case. Something like that. Not because I think dream is dumb, rather just want to see the best in people LOL even if he thinks what they're doing is wrong.

Error has a general distrust of dream at first, perhaps because his words remind him of another kind soul (it's blueberry... LMAO). But a part of him, even just a bit , just wants to have a "friend" (him and blue weren't exactly friends but yknow what I mean) like him again.

Dream weirdly finds some comfort in the anti-void as there is less emotional noise. I could picture dream commenting on it maybe, not directly referencing his own emotions but instead that the anti-void is calm (uh does dreams empathy have a bandwidth? I'm making that assumption.)

Dream got extremely excited when he realized error could also understand spanish.

He got quite invested in UnderNovela, dunno why but I imagine dream to be a fan of fictional romantic stories and dramas. He, Ink and error enjoy talking about it together. They've extrapolated a bunch of theories and such together for what will happen next.

I don't see dream as a crybaby but more suspectible to crying than the other two. Error doesn't... react the best to people crying nor do I believe ink to be the best at comforting others (projecting there whoops). I feel like Error is the type of guy to shove things in your face in hopes of making it stop LMAO. Like how you shake a toy in front a baby in hopes of getting them to stop crying. I just imagine error shoving sweets or some other gift in Dreams hands if he were to start crying. Dream would find his reaction kinds funny and maybe would brighten his mood a little bit. Ink is also trying his best and I suppose would try to be encouraging to dream. He would definitely give dream a well deserved hug. In general it's just an awkward mess, but they try their best. Dream would apologize after because of course he would.

Error in general gives "gifts" to dream, because he noticed Ink gives gifts to Dream when they get closer to being friends. Gifts in quotations because they're stolen. Idk, Error is weird.

While Dream obviously cam teleport au to au he doesn't understand as much the technical aspects of the multiverse. Error seems quite open to any questions he has about it I think. He hears error and ink discuss it at times but honestly it sounds quite confusing to him. Idk he's a curious little guy I think he would find himself love hearing Ink and Error yap about stuff like that *shrug*

I have this hc dream loves mlp so yeah they would watch that together.

way too late to be articulating this thought but every time i loop hayloft and see the goofy utsuro!takasugi->oboro!takasugi noooo lil sibling dont kill sensei by killing sensei. kill sensei by killing ourselves. convolution. i am more and more fueled into getting as stupid as i can in my gntm postcanon lol. takasugi's eye has always been fine and he crawled out of that tower miraculously alive. so did oboro. separately. bc they. separately. uno reverse took over shouyou and utsuro's bodies respectively. all the other altana bodies in the terminal died for real tho so shouyoutsuro did as well. so whos that baby? why its my good friend shouyou(tsuro. theyre integrating.) the fourth :)

and the shouyou body takasugi took over just had a normal ass stab wound thats easy street hes fine now. but the utsuro body oboro took over was 1. largely metaphorical 2. also stabbed 3. more importantly underwent ego death something bad. so oboro's still on borrowed time he just gets enough to hang out with everyone until they get bored of him after a month and then he goes crawls in the woods and dies. one more time

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

Yall is it a bad sign when I can start recognizing and saying the names of the background racers in the first and third Cars movie where they are literally there just as placeholders in the race so there's other cars to race against they don't even speak or anything.

I LOVE THIS FUCKIJG FILM SO MUCH EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECT

[steveharrington]

can you elaborate on how fanon nancy is different from canon nancy?

yes <3 when i made that post i was mostly referring to how often i see people seeming to write nancy as like the voice of reason within the group or even the one who provides comfort and stability to others and i just personally don’t think that fits her at all. i think that dilutes what makes nancy so interesting, honestly!! 1. she is not very reasonable and 2. she has trouble expressing herself in a way that other people understand.

1. nancy’s defining character trait imo is her passion. in seasons 1 and 2 she literally v physically cannot accept just allowing barb’s death to be uninvestigated and subsequently covered up, even when steve tries to reason that going along with the cover up is the safest option that ensures no one gets hurt. nancy still can’t allow that to happen and moves forward with her plan to bring barb’s death to light despite it being dangerous and potentially hopeless because she’s acting on her instincts and her love for barb, not on the safest option. in season 3, again, jonathan tries to reason with her and persuade her not to investigate the rats any further for fear of losing their jobs, but in nancy’s mind it’s worth the risk. now im not saying nancy is dumb, because shes canonically extremely smart and even when she does take risks, they’re calculated and planned. but it kinda grinds my gears when people depict her as this levelheaded by-the-books kind of person when she has demonstrated multiple times that she will simply do whatever the fuck she wants, if she feels it’s justified

2. this one moreso, i feel like nancy has fallen victim to that trend of having characters talk like they’re 10 years into therapy. i see this a lot in ship-related content for her, whether it’s jancy or ronance or stoncy, etc. people will often have her make these declarations of love very outright and talk through whatever issues she’s having with someone, which is so….. she doesn’t do that 😭 she historically struggles to bridge the gap between someone else’s position and her own, and it clearly frustrates her. case in point, she isn’t honest with steve until she’s drunk! then afterwards she still struggles to communicate, to the point that in the alleyway scene steve just fully walks away after she fails to respond at all to his questions. with jonathan she’s the same way—their big car argument is clearly frustrating to her and ends with her simply saying “you don’t know what it’s like” after jonathan gives a multi-point argument explaining his point of view. even at the very end of s4, the most recent scene we have of her, there’s so much that isn’t being said between her and jonathan. they’re not being forthcoming with each other. even with robin, she can’t express why robin’s presence is clearly bothering her in s4, even after robin openly gives her the chance to be honest and says “please tell me if im coming off badly”. there’s an enduring lack of communication in nancy’s relationships, and that makes total sense because she doesn’t have a good example of a healthy relationship in her own home. her parents just leave the dinner table when they’re upset with each other. so it blows my mind seeing depictions of her where she’s like “guys our feelings are all valid <3” like she would nottttt say that omg. she may Think it, and Want to express it, but i think it’s a disservice to what makes nancy interesting to just skip 5 years in her emotional development and suddenly have her acting as this mother-figure of the group who addresses everyone’s feelings concisely and plays it safe.

i think it’s a liiiittle bit stemming from misogyny. the “mom friend” trope is kinda pushed on her automatically, even amidst mom steve jokes, because she’s a girl in the group so she MUST attend to everyone’s feelings and make sure all the kids have snacks or whatever. it just does not reflect the more interesting and unique character we see on screen

[cringefaecompilation]

wait what fandom tropes do you mean in your recent post? and what joke?

i made a post about it's WHILE back but it's the tropes of the "therapy boyfriend/girlfriend/partner" and/or the "i can fix him" trope and i really don't like ships that do that. a relationship needs to be on equal footing to, y'know, actually work out. if one person is putting in all the work and the other is just kinda standing there, it doesn't feel romantic to me in the slightest. unlike most cases of this trope from what i saw ash/rym fics were equally distributed with ashton and orym being in both spots as therapist or "patient"

it's actually why i disliked im/odna and dor/ym for a while too, they also used the tropes of "fixing" a person or being their therapist with no thought on how they as a person felt. and unlike ashr/ym it usually was all laid on either imogen or dorian to fix their broken sad partner who was a helpless sadsack without them.

also for the racist joke... oh i had THOUGHTS about the post i saw. again, only one person made the joke but it had over two hundred notes with the sole pushback being from call/owmoore shippers who said they were ignoring fearne's feelings for ashton (leave her out of this wtf) and everyone else thinking it was funny.

(i'm aware that this post is also shading sha/dowgast but essek possibly being a person of color if you turn your head and squint in canon pales in comparison to robbie daymond and by extension dorian actually being people of color)

it feels weird that i have to spell it out like this but i feel like the term has been so violently diluted i've gotta. cucking or cuckolding is basically a fetish where you and your partner roleplay one of you being unfaithful while the other is "forced" to watch. this in and of itself wouldn't be a problem; two consenting adults can do whatever sexual acts they want behind closed doors.

the problem is that it's been co-opted by white supremacists both as an insult and a kink where they either accuse someone of being so "DEI" they'd let their wife get raped by a black man or they fantasize their wife being being fucked by a black man.

so the whole post hinges on joking about how these two white gay men that were allegedly perfectly made for each other are being denied from "rightfully" being with each other by a man of color. and again, i don't wanna say that every single fanfic where ashton is sad and heartbroken and pining over orym who is deeply in love with dorian is contributing to racism or that the person who made this is an actual n*zi but jesus fucking christ PLEASE think through your jokes before you make them.

[mickmundy]

okay so i half-answered this on cc itself, but i wanted to further elaborate and upload pictures to talk about what i mean and to give more of an "in depth" answer/advice so here i am! gonna stick this under a cut since it's a little lengthy BUT i hope this helps! ;__;!! also obvious and necessary but irritating disclaimer i'm not a professional writer (or even among the best out there lol) so this is just what works for me and how i write and how i Enjoy writing (as opposed to it feeling like you're "hitting a wall")!

my writing style is just writing the way I would want to read a fic, if that makes sense? i wanted to read a bushmed fic that read more like a novel and less like a movie or a comic book script (if that makes sense!) that focuses on symbolism, setting and the character progression of each person involved (in this case, medic and sniper) as well as their progression as a couple. i think ship stuff often suffers greatly because one character often ends up diluted down to “Love Interest For Character A” and not portrayed as someone who is Also an important part of the series as, you know, the second main character!

that’s not to say my writing Flawlessly Executes This (or even does it at all! but i hope it does sobs) but that’s a huge goal of my own personal writing. i want medic and sniper to feel "Strong" on their own (because they are!), but not without their own sets of flaws and vulnerabilities that are talked about and dealt with as they fall in love and "become a couple" (... hopefully! >:) heh!). i think doing "character studies" for the characters you want to write about is really helpful! for me, that encompasses a LOT of things so if you were curious about that too, just lmk and i'll happily make that a separate post! ^u^

for Structuring fics themselves and delving into "actual writing advice", i'm someone who LOVES making really formal "essay-like" outlines/charts/etc for my fics, but it's ultimately not something i do until much later as a post-writing notation function (Remembering important plot points/devices as opposed to Fleshing Them Out).

idk if literally anyone else does it this way but i have a discord channel in which i just ramble (to myself and my gf if she wants to weigh in!) and blab just to Chunk Stuff Out. i'll be using some examples from the planning of my completed fic Malus as examples! while Sometimes i can just "sit down and write" my fics (as in just hopping into the doc and Writing Very Formally), a lot of my fic's Key Moments (except for the apricot dream in Fever. that i wrote in under an hour almost exactly as you read it on ao3!) are done very casually! this is quite literally how i plan/"write" my fics:

like just a fucking. MASSIVE series of run on sentences (often because im just Literally typing what my mind is thinking), emoji use and just. as fucking sloppity slapdash as you can possibly imagine. and that's alright! it's the first draft after all! what's most important is that you're getting your thoughts down. so you can read (and be appalled SDFKSFD) at this Extremely Massive wall of text, but i will let you into the Enigma That Is My Mind (that one patrick meme but its a picture of medic and sniper kissing in the thought bubble):

first of all the most essential part of my writing process is having a beautiful femme wife who gives commentary and encourages you to write the butchfemme bushmed romance of your dreams ☝️u__u! so i recommend beautiful crazy-enthusiastic femmes to inspire you as they have inspired Me (both bee and medic of course)! HEHEH

but also, i've notated some parts of that run on mess that Sticks Out (without getting wrapped up in bullet notes, highlighting etc which can feel a bit Too analytical for your first draft imo!):

in red, i'm conveying the "tone" or "emotional pull" i want to have in this scene and in yellow i'm just Notating things that are Significant to the series. the flour print on sniper that medic would eventually catch sight of at the end of the fic and envy, how medic and sniper See and Observe each other, which is obviously important to how i write them because my fics put emphasis on how they see each other and their respective differences (imagined or real)!

so then i usually take these Massive Walls Of Text (this is a short one! LOL) and dissect them and space them out, get a better visual on what i'm trying to say, and then fill things in accordingly. i find it works a lot better than trying to "bullet point" them since i just write how i think, and that's a lot less "stuffy" than trying to work off of a really Formal/"Academic-feeling" outline.

i think it's important to play around with different styles and what kind of method makes sense for you personally and to spend time honing that! even if i just write run on stuff like this ^ it helps get my brain in an easy, "rolling out writing" mode that thoughts just kinda come more naturally!

i also heavily advocate for how i post my fics (ie writing them to completion and treating them as "seasons"/parts and posting one chapter per week) becuase it allows you SOO much time to continue to write and to continue your story while preventing burnout! again i can elaborate on this in a whole other post if you wanted, but i've already prattled on so much i don't want to Ramble! ;-;

as far as keeping writing fun (or keeping it from feeling miserable at least), i sincerely advise just writing about what you like. put aspects of yourself or things you like into the characters you're writing, make your story interesting to YOU! would You want to read your own writing? i think you should!! ^v^ write the writing you want to read, and skill and technique and everything/anything else will come.

in the wake of people literally feeding fics to those stupid chatbots i emphasize even more to please put your heart into what you write and it will show and be wonderful, whether its Epic Novelizations or One Shot Smut or Whatever... it was made by you! and that's awesome! i'm so happy you're here and writing and posting, it's very brave!! <333

I LOVE YOUUUU YOU ARE EPIC AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! I know what you write will be amazing and i really appreciate you asking me something like this, i hope i can hear from you (anonymously or not!) sometime soon and that this might have been at least a little helpful? ;_; ILYYYYY <3333

[thestobingirlie]

hi! my feelings about r//nance is im just not into it, mostly bc i just Dont See it, like i just Don't, but also bc of reasons like ppl making the whole thing so Uncomplicated when it absolutely Would be Complicated as Fuck! and acting like it has any basis in canon, like i do like s//eddie, and ik some ppl do it for s//eddie too, but i personally don't think there's really any real basis for it in canon, i just think they'd be interesting (but that's another topic).

But also lowkey i think one of the main reasons i don't see it w/ r//nance, is that in s3 when nancy & robin interact for the first time, robin has The Biggest masking face ever, idk she just looks like she's autistic masking to hell & back, she looks like how i feel when im trying to be "a real person" all polite and friendly to someone i don't know, trying and hoping i remember all the things to say. idk it just Does Not vibe. lol

also when robin & nancy meet for the first time robin literally says "hi, I'm robin, i work with steve" isn't that at least a little bit of a sign that the first thing that connects them Is Steve, so like, idk, he might be relevant to them as characters??? like, a little, maybe???

hey!!

i will never understand taking a complex ship and diluting it down, because i love complicated relationships. like, within stranger things, steve, tommy and carol are one of the dynamics i find most interesting! because it’s complex. if you reduced any of those characters down to nothing, they aren’t even those characters anymore. they’re just wearing their faces. and obviously i don’t like r//nance, but if i did, i wouldn’t try to make it something it isn’t just so everyone involved can be perfectly happy.

and i think it’s so weird when they like, fight to the death to try and prove it has a basis in canon. like you said, i like steddie. i don’t think it would ever happen in a million years. one of my guilty pleasure ships in stranger things is steve and kali, which has no chance of happening, but a ship doesn’t have to be close to canon in order for me to enjoy, you know? and i can admit that, though i guess others can’t.

there does seem to be a growing trend where people treat fanon ships as though it’s morally wrong to ship them because they aren’t canon. so i guess maybe r//nancers are over correcting, and sprinting in the opposite direction to try and say that they can ship it, and fighting anyone that doesn’t ship it because they feel like they have to defend it, but it’s just like… people will always have different opinions. about everything, just live and let live. block people whose opinions you hate, block out tags to avoid posts etc.

and yeah, i totally get you, even in s4, robin just looks like she’s trying so hard to appease nancy and nothing is working. it just looks like the most awkward situation in existence.

that is honestly such a good point!! especially considering robin and nancy are in the same year at school, but until robin has a connection to steve, she wasn’t relevant to nancy at all. like, steve really is the glue between those two characters, and any attempt to remove him just doesn’t work

[sieglinde-freud]

for the ask game, a question of your choosing!!

why would u do this roy. now im gonna go on a tangent about religionshipping and its gonna be your fault

20. Are there any ships that you like, whether popular or rarepair?

well you see

THEY MAKE ME SO EMO

FIRST OF ALL god/worshipper dynamic is crazy. i dont have to point that out for you guys. but then also its like. you know with avatars and s supports becoming more common in fire emblem a lot of the “romances” have to be hamfisted in so everyone can pick their fav and be happy and it just kind of dilutes the quality sometime on account of there being so many. so especially in the case of avatars does it feel like romances are either one sided or just thrown in out of fucking nowhere just for the sake of completion. ur gonna tell me corrin spent the entire chain hating on odin just to fall in love with him out of nowhere in the s (that chain makes me irrationally angry btw but another vent for another day) so when that DOESNT happen it j makes it way more impactful and the way that it happens in pandreos s support feels like such a natural build off of their B and A supports where alear actually talks about how he doesnt believe he lives up to being a god and pandreo helps him get over that belief which is j really refreshing because i feel like a lot of “avatar” supports, not just in engage, are more about the protagonist helping and reacting to the other character and not the other way around so its j like. idk. alear/pandreo support fucks. also i personally dont really like projecting onto the avatars so having a support where alear stands more on his own is refreshing for me

and then outside of supports theyre just cute. its such a cute concept. i think pandreo trying to balance his frat boy and clergy personas in front of alear is so silly and the fact that alear doesnt really give a shit about which one hes putting up is even funnier. like itd be totally reasonable to think you’d have to have an eternal stick up ur ass around god but here he is. howling. its so silly. so goofy. also both of their hair styles are atrocious. ugly ass couple. i think i can make a shitpost out of that one actually. i just found the template im doing that later ok anyways they just make me mental illness. i beat the writers block for them. i have like 15 drafted posts just about me screaming about them. its so unwell. theyre so hhhggegrhj

i also really like panette/timerra

Moderna Shot Expected to Bolster U.S. Vaccine Efforts

Health officials across the U.S. are counting on the arrival of a second Covid-19 vaccine to boost scarce supplies and sidestep logistical issues encountered by the first vaccine, which began distribution this week.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccine from Moderna Inc. MRNA -2.62% on Friday after an advisory panel recommended the agency approve its use. It will join a vaccine from Pfizer Inc. PFE -0.92% and BioNTech SE BNTX -2.06% that received authorization on Dec. 11.

The green light should nearly double this month’s expected U.S. supply of Covid-19 vaccine doses and help meet a federal goal of getting a vaccine to anyone who wants one by the spring or summer of 2021. Moderna expects to add 20 million doses of its vaccine to Pfizer’s expected U.S. supply of 25 million in December.

A Food and Drug Administration vaccine-advisory panel voted in favor of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine for broad distribution, clearing the way for the FDA to grant an emergency-use authorization for the second vaccine in the U.S. Photo: Henry Ford Health System/AP

“The addition of the Moderna vaccine to the response will be huge,” said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers, whose members direct state vaccination efforts. Not only will the Moderna vaccine boost the supply of doses, but also it will “be much easier to send [it] to smaller providers and rural areas,” she said.

Moderna’s vaccine has easier storage and handling requirements and will be shipped in smaller quantities, health officials say. It can be stored in most standard medical freezers, while Pfizer’s must be shipped and kept at ultracold temperatures requiring either specialized freezers or dry ice, resources more common in large hospital systems and urban areas.

More on the Coronavirus

Once thawed, Moderna’s vaccine can be kept refrigerated for 30 days, while Pfizer’s can stay refrigerated for only five days after thawing.

Moderna’s vaccine also can be shipped in containers with as few as 100 doses, while Pfizer’s minimum order size is about 975 doses.

Pfizer’s larger minimum order size “poses challenges especially in rural areas of the country where that volume of product is more difficult to manage,” Anita Patel, deputy of the vaccine task force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during an FDA advisory panel meeting on Dec. 10.

“This ultracold really, really makes it difficult to plan, based on the large quantity, and then also the ability of our partners to vaccinate during that time frame,” said Rich Lakin, immunization director for the Utah Department of Health. It is directing doses to hospitals, local health departments and pharmacies in the state.

Both vaccines are highly effective in preventing Covid-19 and use a similar gene-based technology. Pfizer’s vaccine was 95% effective at preventing disease in a study of 44,000 people, while Moderna’s was 94.1% effective in a 30,000-person study. Both vaccines were developed and tested at unprecedented speed.

Both vaccines also require people to come back three or four weeks later for a second dose. However, Moderna’s can be injected into people as is, while Pfizer’s has to be diluted in a separate solution before injection.

“Moderna definitely makes it easier from a logistics standpoint,” said Kristen Ehresmann, director of the infectious disease division with the Minnesota Department of Health. “It will help to fill in gaps for greater Minnesota, for the more rural parts of our state. Some areas of the state may not have access until the Moderna vaccine comes along.”

Federal and state officials said they have shaped their distribution strategies around the different features of the vaccines.

A Pfizer spokesman said the company’s supply-chain infrastructure is designed to ensure that people can get access to vaccine doses that meet its temperature requirements. A Moderna spokesman said the company has worked to improve the storage and shipping requirements for its vaccine, and stability testing this year has shown that it can be kept at higher temperatures.

A Covid-19 vaccine authorization is Moderna’s first government clearance for a drug or vaccine in the 10 years since the company was formed to try to exploit an emerging gene-based technology. Anticipation of the Covid-19 vaccine has catapulted Moderna into the ranks of the most highly-valued drug companies, giving it a market capitalization of $54 billion.

The authorization also validates the gene-based technology that Moderna has used to develop more than 20 other products for various diseases. FDA approval signals that the technology could yield future vaccines and drugs using the same basic building blocks behind the Covid-19 vaccine.

Moderna and Pfizer are ramping up production, but so far the U.S. has committed to buying more of Moderna’s vaccine. On Dec. 11, the U.S. government agreed to double its purchase of Moderna’s vaccine to 200 million doses by the end of June. Pfizer has agreed to supply 100 million doses, though federal officials are in talks to secure additional doses, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar told reporters on Wednesday.

Initially, when supplies are limited, both vaccines are being reserved for health-care workers and residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. As more doses become available, next in line are expected to be other essential workers, like police and teachers, senior citizens and people with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe Covid-19 disease.

Additional vaccines could also boost the mass immunization campaign if they prove successful in testing and are authorized for use.

Johnson & Johnson is testing a single-dose vaccine and expects to have results of a study of its vaccine in more than 40,000 people in January. That vaccine, unlike Pfizer’s and Moderna’s, wouldn’t require patients to take a second dose, and the company may seek U.S. authorization in February, if results are positive.

Could you please stop generalising all klance shippers? Some of us ship them because we see actual chemistry, not because we're a "fujoshi" or whatever. I completely understand if you don't like klance, heck even I didn't at one point, but to group all of us with a few disgusting individuals isn't right either. I get it, most antis are klance shippers, but there most shippers these days who just simply ship it for fun.

I don’t know what you want me to say when this is what bombards my dash.

People wonder why so many have gotten jaded with the fandom (on top of those jaded with the writing and terrible action) and just want the thing cancelled. Then again these are the same people who call anyone who disagrees with them Nazis, because when actual Nazis are running around, you really want to dilute your argument.

I’m sorry, I really am, but considering the level of vitriol towards things that don’t matter Klance fans are throwing, it is very difficult to separate antis from the people who enjoy it as a fanon pairing, because it’s clear they expect it to be more than that, like they’re entitled to it.

honestly my favorite thing to do with ocs is to retcon old info and infer stuff i didn’t think of when i made them.

(cutting b/c this got long fast)

take smallspots, my oldest surviving fl oc (whose first appearance on my google photos is 6/5/2018), who was created in response to another oc getting banned for being ““OP””. the other oc was massive, strong, a loner, slightly evil and orange-based so naturally smallspots had to be the polar opposite: small, weak, a Clan cat, shy but brave (i was putting everything i had into giving her that mario-odyssey style oxymoron personality) and blue.

(yes, this was a warrior cats roleplay on roblox.)

it’s important to note the gal is incredibly growth-stunted which basically means she’s stuck at a kitten-like stage of growth.

a few months later i started to work out who she was:

here’s the gal with a leg cast after a momentary angst train,

and over half a year after her creation was the only decent ref i could find, where she improved a ton as i improved and also got my hands on a fancy new extra fluff gamepass.

during that time frame i was on-and-off hyperfixating on her and she gained an excesssive amount of development: i refined her colors and bumped up her fluff, but more importantly, her personality changed: she turned into a grumpy, rogue-hating former kittypet with too much of a backstory to describe here.

que a couple months ago: i’d gotten into tumblr culture and whatnot, which meant all of my cishet ocs were no longer okay.

(that came out lower-quality than i expected, so i’ll id instead:

WC | Smallspots | WS

Shy | Grumpy | Quick Temper | Growth Stunt | C[rush, later progressed to mate]: Scoot’but (NPC) | M[ore] I[n] R P)

note first off that the guy she has a crush on, whose name was later changed to scootfoot, is fully grown, and although small is actually slightly older than him, it still appears as pedophilia, which along with incest, i don’t allow with my ocs anymore.

i still wanted her and scoot to exist together though, which is when i decided on a more platonic relationship between them.

(i’m not happy w how my writing has weakened throughout this infodump. its prolly b/c im scrolling through weaker writing and absorbing it)

now that i’d dealt with the pro-ship implications, i wanted to be lgbtqa+ inclusive and what better way to do that than to make as many characters in her (huge) arc(s?) as possible lgbtqa+?

(i also decided smallspots, being a former kittypet, knows swear words and uses them at an unholy rate.)

i started off by making smallspots aroace so she couldn’t be shipped romantically with other characters. i then decided scoot is a Trans Man™ and worked that into the gang’s development. there are also a couple other characters in small’s arc that got that makeover too but again, i don’t have any real estate left in this post for them.

i also decided she isn’t shy anymore and due to the gentle yellow hue in her spots she’s actually a dilute tortie.

and of course my fl hyperfixation finally ended, which really only resulted in my eventually drawing the gal:

look at that change.

i can wholeHEARTEDLY agree characters can, will, and should change over time.

small’s probable birthday this year took place the day i finished my header image, which marks her as 2 years, 5 months and 10 days as of 11/15/2020.

and my god has she changed.

Never worry about fully fleshing out your characters and calling it a day, cause we as humans aren’t done learning either, what makes you think your character is done?

@inkyuns gOsh i love georgie with every fiber of my being. she rly is the only reason im still on this website sjdhfkj she just sits there sometimes and calms me down idk what i would do without her. hhh but beyond that i also admire georgie a lot for her writing pls she’s pHENOMENAL like sometimes i read her stuff nd i just sit there in A W E at how beautifully she builds scenes and creates personalities. everything in her writing flows seamlessly and i reALLY WISH SOME PPL COULD SEE THATDSFJKJDH. pls i just really love everything about her. she’s so mature and calm but also rly sweet and cute and gOsh i just love her. uhh she also just has The Best Colors imo and its so amazing like i cant tell u how much i just love talking to her. im not that talkative online w people but georgie and i stay up until 4am just talking about whatever and like i message her all the time. shes so easy and chill and honestly ?? we’re always raving about how we’re the cutest ship and nobody appreciates us pls ship #warie !1!! uhhh im gna stop now bc i rly dont want this to be a Georgie Love Post so i may not admire her from afar but i def love everything about her.

[semiotomatics]

@im-significant replied to your post “/cries I really wanna dye my hair peach but the only way I can see to...”

may i suggest Adore dye, if you're comfortable ordering off of amazon? its very similar to manic panic (no ammonia etc, same process for using it) ive had great luck with it, and they have a ton of colors

im-significant replied to your post “/cries I really wanna dye my hair peach but the only way I can see to...”

(i just looked some stuff up and someone suggested using their shade Fruit Punch diluted with conditioner for a peach color which looks like it would work well)

b l e s s  y o u

i’ve never even heard of this stuff but it looks beautiful, and it not only has a peach that I think would work well (the fruit punch colour you mentioned) but it also has a lavender that’s closer to what I want for my purple ombre than the stuff I was going to use!! and it’s only $12 on amazon with free shipping!! it’s a miracle!

[sovpologist]

right like if you genuinely ship them and think theyre a cute opposites attract ship, go right ahead. im not going to write a thousand posts about how its hashtag problematic or whatever bc ultimately its just a crack ship, which brings me to my next point. when i read that lore entry, i genuinely thought that shaxx just read the tempest to mara to help her grieve. when i went back into the community and realized that most people took it as a sexual innuendo, i was pretty taken aback. its basically a meme to people who havent even read the marasenna and dont even know that mara had a girlfriend. its pretty sad that bungie look one look at a meme/crackship that most of the community used to say weirdly sexual and misogynistic things about mara (in addition to diluting shaxx’s character down to “fucked mara sov” and nothing else) and decided THAT was the ship they wanted to push, instead of the deeply romantic and interesting relationship between mara and sjur. im not saying its homophobia..........but its homophobia. 

mara and shaxx would literally never ever work as a couple so idk why bungie was so obsessed with pushing them as one during crimson doubles
