#in regards to how I’m doing

[heyheydidjaknow]

Hey there! Before the actual ask, I noticed that you seemed kinda bummed lately and i honestly hope everything will get better soon! I was also wondering if there are any other fandoms that you'd ever be willing to write for and if there are ones that you'd never touch. Cause you have a way of portraying the characters that's quite spot on and amazing and i really enjoy reading the stuff you write. Also, while reading, I often found myself wondering how you'd see certain characters from different shows maybe interacting with each other but they're mostly from shows i haven't seen you write about. So this is just me being curious wether or not you have other fandoms you'd also write for. Hope this made sense.

It does, Anon. The long and short of it is this; if I’ve seen the show, I’ll reply, and if I haven’t, I’ll try the show out to see if it’s something Im willing to take the time to think about. There aren’t any fandoms I can think of that I will explicitly not write for; while I’ve certainly got my own personal feelings about what I do and don’t want to write about that’s more based on interest than anything. If you have something like that, just ask and if I don’t know I’ll check it out, even if it’s not necessarily something you’ve seen me write about before.

I don’t understand it when people say that Carrie was also the problem bc she was anxiously attached bc like …. maybe she had a moment or two but for the most part it was absolutely Big being such a selfish prick and then justifying it w “ohhh I have commitment issues bc my last marriage fell through” umm ur a 45 year old BABY actually

so because we have only three chapters left, I’ve decided that I’m going to wait for the official release instead of going through the leaks as I’ve been doing for… almost the past 2 years. I don’t want the leaks and the fandom discourse to ruin my last experience with jjk as a still ongoing manga… plus I thought it would be more fun and enjoyable this way... more special ig (I’m being so sappy ik) wish me luck guys!!

I’m about halfway through Turnabout Trigger, and having the opportunity to replay my favourite Ace Attorney game with a new translation is really doing wonders for my understanding and appreciation of it.

Like, when I first played the game I found Knight a fun villain. I enjoyed the VERY intense, almost manic, cocksure energy he brought to the table, and his completely disregard for gun safety. He was the sort of figure we’d seen before in these games. Someone who would burst into the world of Ace Attorney, burn brilliantly and briefly across the screen, and then vanish without a trace once we’d arrested them.

I’m going through a story I know well but the motions are slightly different, so I notice them more and pay better attention. It almost feels like I’m playing the game for the first time again, except this time I know how the story ends, so I end up noticing the little bits that guide it towards its path.

Obviously, when I later replayed the case I knew that Knight wasn’t really like that class of villain. He is very much not a man who came from nowhere, the circumstances of his existence are pretty damn important to the plot of the game, and in a way, play a part in the series as a whole. Although we don’t really see him alive again after his arrest, his presence comes up again and again throughout the game, and once you’ve reached the end it’s hard not to feel sorry that he died the way he did.

Playing through the case with my fresh all knowing eyes, I notice a strange realness to the way he was written that I hadn’t picked up on before. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still an intense, cocksure, manic, with no regard for gun safety. It’s just… there’s also something behind all that. Something more grounded and real. Annoyingly it’s also something I can’t screenshot or really put my finger on. But it made me think about his character in a new light and the impact that he had on the story as a whole. Knight is, in many ways, a deconstruction of the one off Ace Attorney villain and… I’m not sure I really appreciated that before.

I’m looking forward to seeing what else I discover.

i'm getting towards the end of the skypeia arc, & i'd like to say just how much i adore the way the female strawhats have been treated.

just... every aspect of how the way their characters have been previously contextualized influences the story-line is treated with a masterful amount of consideration. we're given so many layers to both of them that enrich not only their characters specifically, but the arc, and the one piece world as a whole. without nami & robin having their specific skills, and their specific values, without those being built upon, the story would have come to a halt.

you could not have skypeia without nami & robin being who they are as individuals. not just because they never would've gotten there without nami, but also because the way these women think is itself foundational to the machinations of the arc as a whole.

to be totally upfront, if you think any other strawhats were more central to the skypeia arc than nami & robin were you are full-on fucking lying to yourself.

Happy birthday to Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington! (May 1st, 1769)

the driftmark scene is so special to me for a number of reasons but the most underrated moment for me is when we see aegon standing up to his father, in his own way, for his mother and brother. he’s actively defying him and refuses to sell out his mother—to tell the king “everyone knows” when such a large crowd has amassed IS brave and extremely controversial when we’ve seen how strongly viserys ignores rhaenyra’s actions. it’s kinda sad to see people gloss over his bravery in this scene because of how he’s not the best character personality-wise, when this was such a defining moment for him in my eyes. we see that brief shine of, hey, you’re my brother. i push you around and i may not even particularly like you, but in the eyes of the world, i’ve got you. in my own way.

everyone told me she was terrifying but they didn’t tell me she was so cool and nice

As every Adam Neylan written HB episode passes, I keep having to remind myself that he is also the co writer for Hazbin, and I legit wanna die every time.

just the thought of them trying to make it seem consensual makes me SO mad because ANDREW WAS SO INJURED!!! HE HAD A CONCUSSION!!! HE COULDN'T SIT DOWN WITHOUT PAIN!!! HE MUST'VE BEEN COVERED IN BRUISES TOO!!! KILL THE PROSECUTOR!!!!!! Anyway just casually getting mad as if this is a real case oopsie

YUP!!!! yupyupyup

and Andrew is probably going to have to hear them try to make it seem like Aaron didn’t know what he was really looking at <3 that he could’ve misunderstood <3

i still cannot comprehend how u guys will write or draw or rb something of jack where he is present as a full grown adult and then call him a precious child….

I don’t think people posting “I’m not going to cry about it” [the deaths of anyone] in regards to what’s happening in Palestine and Israel right now realize how fucking callous that is. Well, maybe you aren’t, but some people very much are, and the fact that you don’t hold any emotional, cultural, or familial connections to the victims of violence and can just shrug it off under broader ideologies is a sign of your incredible privilege and remove, not of sensitivity and solidarity

For absolutely no reason at all, I turned Lisa and Stacey into magical girls

not to bring tiktok drama on tumblr but like every time a ‘scandal’ comes out with one of these ‘production companies’ that make fan films i always hope we’re finally gonna discuss how they professionalize something that should be an hobbyist endeavor… and yet every single time i’m disappointed.

[luminous-orb]

half the time I think “oersted and streibough are strong narrative foils” it’s like, a complex and well constructed thought about how they bring out each others worst qualities. and the other half of the time, well, it’s just This Image

apologies for yosukeposting and especially incoherently but slowboiling in my brain whatever the hell was going on w him in kanji’s dungeon. guy who slingshots between some kinda fraught observation that this is so much worse for kanji because it’s happening in front of an audience (over like. freaking out about it), furiously asserting that he’s heterosexual, insinuating danger but then also being the one who volunteers to take kanji home afterwards.

It’s sooooooooooooooo.
