@rbbess110
#... tag rambling...#But that's actually a pivotal part of the story#My beloved mutual the fact that you forgor that he was the antagonist due to my writing is half the reason I am writing the story. /pos#That you see him as a person and not just a bad guy despite his first introduction to you being his literal murder playlists#Just speaks to how well I've conveyed that. And that's honestly a huge compliment#You and the MC of the book im writing are in the same boat. Yeah he's a freak and a monster but you just see him doing shit and you're like#ah... thats a guy....... /loving#The fact that he doesn't fit into a ridged antagonist box is going to make it all the more devastating at the end btw. Saying it now#I won't spoil it for you but this is good. If you've managed to get this attatched from just my incessant rambling#You will be crushed when you realize what he actually is capable of.#Intentional or not.#And that is the heart of the first book/pos#Something something you can try to separate man from monster but really we're all just different shades of capable of the exact same horror#You get it im sure.#castalk#coutalk#couteau my beloved go back into your box#bists#Blood is sweeter than silence

have u ever participated in nanowrimo?
Not only have I participated but I wrote 90% of my book in one day because someone said I wouldn’t be able to do it. I’d never do it again though - writing that much in twenty-four hours truly was all I could ever need from the experience.
#mailbox#it was not a good story btw like the writing was really bad due to how fast I wrote it#but I am a spite run machine#I like to take my sweet time when writing so it’s not really a good format for me#I write a lot in one sitting usually but editing and going back is pretty important for my process

Lazy thing i wanted to do!!! they're just silly :3
I think dave is a pretty princess and John is awkward
I'll be yapping below
I believe that Dave texts John right after he gets his ass handed to him DAILY. It usually plays out like this where they banter and Dave never really goes through the extent of explaining what thoroughly happens to him so John lives in forever ignorant bliss. And this leads Dave to feel like there's more of disconnect because he first of all doesn't really know how to articulate his feelings and second abuse doesn't seem like abuse to the victim. So he goes about everyday unknowingly yearning to be saved by someone greater than him, which is why I put the snow white reference at the end hehe.
Snow white as a fairy tale is extremely cliche, you got the prince in shining armor showing up conveniently on a horse and saving the girl. There's always this hierarchy placed upon the story where the damsel in distress is saved by a man, that man being portrayed as a greater being.
And with John taking place as the prince in this context paints him as this greater being. And I feel like a part of Dave envies and despises John for being this way, for being "perfect" or in a way. Greater than him.
The thing is in the original snow white story she's unconscious, that's undesirable. But it adds to the desperation of wanting to be saved, shining a better looking light on a person who isn't really there for reasons you want them to be. However John is a sincere person, it's more so the lack of communication or true understanding of one another that leads to this rift, this belief that John isn't there for Dave because he loves him, but because he's his friend and it's John's duty as a friend to save him. Which also brings me to the last line where Dave never corrects himself, and how he insinuates that he'll be unconscious due to being placed in a glass coffin much like snow white was when she was poisoned. He's at this stage where he doesn't want to be saved by an outer source, a greater person than him. He wants to be saved by himself he wants to prove worthy, but then conflicting within his mind is also this idea he isn't good enough to. We all know that Dave believes he isn't a hero and explicitly states John is the hero multiple times throughout homestuck. So he stays waiting.
John however, refers to Dave as Cinderella, Cinderella gets abused and put through plenty of torture from her step sisters and is saved through marriage of some person she just met. There's still this base line of being saved by man however there's this more mutual understanding of what they're getting into, a similar yearn for one another. Though he never caught her name he was still willing to find her, the real her. Which is John in this case, he probably understands he's missing something in the big picture but can never find out what and the best he can do is hope that the other half still held on to what they once were and was willing to share.
This is a pre-sburb interaction btw they're just unknowingly foreshadowing a shit ton.
Sorry if there's like bad shitty writing in here, I'm rambling and it's like almost midnight hehe

DK as a boyfriend


His personality is the sun baby from teletubbies
I'm just kidding, that was me letting an intrusive thought win...
No but seriously, Seokmin is a ball of sunshine
(ps. I'm gonna be using DK and his actual name Seokmin interchangeably)
When you met, believe it or not, he might be a little shy around you.
Mainly because he thinks you're cute and he becomes hyper aware of how loud he is and how his energy is always at 100%
Basically, he doesn't want to scare you off.
But when you guys get to know each other.
And when he gets comfortable...
Prepare for a lot of screaming.
Btw, remember that he's technically an introvert (INFP)
***(introvert doesn't equal shy. introvert just means you have a social battery and it drains faster. the only way to recharge is to spend some time alone or be around people you're comfortable with. so yeah, DK is loud and happy and goofy at times, but remember he's probably at his most comfortable around the other members because they're all his brothers. they all understand each other and know each other's limits.) okay, explanation over.
But also a lot of hysterical laughing.
DK is the boyfriend that rolls on the floor with you while you both laugh to the point you have tears in your eyes.
And it's all because he made some stupid joke or threw something and didn't catch it in enough time.
Or he stubbed his toe and hit a high note.
Like, anything with him is comedy gold.
He's your happy pill, your personal source of sunshine and positivity.
But I feel like he could always see right through you
And once you're a couple, it'd be his sole mission to make sure that he keeps you happy and energized.
And your mood really influences his mood.
If you're having a bad day, that in turn makes him sad and though he tries to cheer you up, if that doesn't work, he gets upset knowing you're down about something.
It's really sweet. Then you pull yourself out of your rut to try to get DK happy again, which doesn't take much effort.
Would kill at karaoke.
I feel bad for whoever goes against him unless you're Seungkwan or Mariah Carey...
Definitely would sing you to sleep.
Honestly, would just constantly be singing.
Around the house, in the shower, in the car, literally anywhere.
And you tease him for it and call him a show off, which he scoffs at but you always see that smile he tries to conceal by looking down trying to cover his mouth.
Type of bf to send you deep text messages on a random Tuesday night at 10:53 pm
I think Seokmin would know pretty early on if you were a good match for him or not.
Do you make him happy?
Is he crazy about you?
And if he answers yes, then he's made up his mind.
So you'd probably meet the members, his family and friends early on.
I see him wanting a private relationship.
Just wants to protect you and the best way to do that is by not outright publicizing it.
Low key romantic because he's protective, ya know?


*yes, I'm using the iconic robe photo, YOUR WELCOME*
Shmexy shtuff🥵:
Hmmm
First of all, I know he's not the type to be shirtless but I just KNOW that man has a nice ass body. Like, have you seen his arms????He works out so, bedroom action with this man will be great.
like... look at those arms😫👇

I don't see DK as the type to do anything crazy in the bedroom
Probably a vanilla kinda dude
I could see him as the type to play music and get really attentive
I said he would be the type to send long, deep text messages
So, I think he'd be really into pillow talk
Long story short, I don't think DK is for the freaks...
~~~

{A/N: Uh...Heyyyyy. Wow, this is awkward. Soooooo, I've been gone for like two months. Really sorry about that guys. I had taken a short break from writing for awhile due to schoolwork. I know I say that a lot though. Yeah, headcanons don't make up for a lack of stories but this has been sitting in my drafts since January so I thought I'd finally finish it. The other thing is my writers block when it comes to fanfics. I had ideas but found it hard to find an idol to pick and envision for the story, idk if that makes sense. It's almost the end of my semester, I have finals coming up and I really miss writing on Tumblr. Side note; I've been listening to a lot of EXO and Got7 lately. It's been so much fun because I used to be a huge ahgase and exo-l back in middle and high school. Python is such a good song btw. I know someone had asked if I'd write for Got7 and idk, that might be on the horizon. Also, just remembered that I never finished writing Boring, so that'll be one of my summer projects. Okay, I promise to not disappear again. Love you and mwahhhh💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋}

Okay. I've been playing Tokyo Debunker today, since the release happened to catch me on a day when all I'd planned to do was write fanfiction. I just finished reading the game story prologue (it was longer than expected!), so here's a review type post. If you're reading this post not having seen a single thing about this game: it's a story-based joseimuke gacha mobile game that just released globally today. It's about a girl who suddenly finds herself attending a magic school and mingling with elite, superhuman students known as ghouls. If you look in the tumblr tag for the game you'll see what appears to be a completely different game from 2019 or so: they retooled it completely midway through development, changing just about everything about it due to "escalating competition within the gaming industry."
I'll talk about how this looks like a blatant twst clone at the end.
Starting with the positive: The story is charming. I enjoyed it thoroughly the entire time and am excited to read more. The mix between visual novel segments and motion comics was really nice--it broke things up and added a lot of oomph to the action or atmospheric scenes that visual novels generally lack. I like the art in the comic parts a lot. the live2d in the visual novel parts is... passable. Tone-wise, I think the story was a little bit all over the place and would like to see more of the horror that it opened on, but I didn't mind the comedic direction it went in either. The translation is completely seamless. The characters so far all have unique voices and are just super fun and cute. Of the ones who've had larger roles in the story so far, there's not a single one I dislike. It's all fully voiced in Japanese and the acting is solid. (I don't recognize any voices, and can't seem to find any seiyuu credits, so it seems they're not big names, but they deliver nonetheless.) Kaito in particular I found I was laughing at his lines a ton, both the voicing and the writing.

He's looking for a girlfriend btw. Spreading the word.
The problem is like. The gameplay is the worst dark-pattern microtransaction-riddled bullshit I've ever seen. Hundred passive timers going at all times. Fifty different item-currencies. Trying to get you to spend absurd amounts of real world money at every turn. There's like five different indicators that take you to various real-money shop items that I don't know how to dismiss the indicator, I guess you just have to spend money, wtaf. Bajillion different interlocking systems mean you have zero sense of relative value of all the different item-currencies. I did over the course of the day get enough diamonds for one ten-pull, which I haven't used yet. Buying enough diamonds for a ten-pull costs a bit under $60 (presumably USD, but there's a chance the interface is automatically making that CAD for me--not gonna spend the money to check lmfao), with an SSR rate of 1%. BULLSHIIIIIT.

There's like a goddamn thousand-word essay explaining the dozen different types of character upgrades and equippables and equippables for the equippables!! Bad! Bad game design! That's just overcomplicating bullshit to trick people into thinking they're doing something other than clicking button to make number go up! That is not gameplay!
In terms of the actual gameplay, there is none. The battle system is full auto. There might be teambuilding, but from what I've seen so far, most of that consists of hoping you pull good cards from gacha and then clicking button to make number go up. There's occasional rhythm segments but there's no original music, it's just remixes of public domain classical music lmao. I'd describe the rhythm gameplay as "at least more engaging than twisted wonderland's," which is not a high bar
At least there's a cat in the rhythm bit.
And like, ok, I gotta remark on how derivative it is. Like I mentioned in my post earlier, this game is unabashedly aping twisted wonderland's setting and aesthetic. (That said, most of the stuff it steals from twst is magic school stuff that twst also basically stole from Harry Potter, so...?) However, it isn't exactly like twst: in this one, the characters say fuck a lot and bleed all over the place and do violence. Basically, the tone is a fair bit more adult than twst's kid-friendly vibe. (Not, like, adult adult, and I probably wouldn't even call it dark--it's still rated Teen lol. Just more adult than twst.)
Rather than just being students at magic school, the ghouls also go out into the mundane world to go on missions where they fight and investigate monsters and cryptids. Honestly, the magic school setting feels pretty tacked-on. The things that are enjoyable about this would've been just as enjoyable in about any other setting--you can tell this whole aspect was a late trend-chasing addition, lmao. So, yeah, it's blatantly copying twst to try to steal some players, but... Eh, I found myself not caring that much. Someone more (or less) into twst than me may find it grating.
Character-wise, eh, sure, yeah, they're a bit derivative in that aspect too, but it's a joseimuke game, the characters are always derivative. Thus far the writing & execution has been solid enough that I didn't care if they were tropey. If I were to compare it to something else, I'd say the relationship between the protagonist and the ghouls feels more like that of the sage and wizards in mahoyaku than anything from twst. There's some mystery in exactly what "ghouls" are and their place in this world that has me intrigued and wanting to know more about this setting and how each of the characters feels about it. I have a bad habit of getting my hopes up for stories that put big ideas on the table and then being disappointed when they don't follow through in a way that lives up to my expectations, though.
So, my final verdict: I kind of just hope someone uploads all the story segments right onto youtube so nobody has to deal with the dogshit predatory game to get the genuinely decent story lol. Give it a play just for the story if you have faith in your ability to resist dark patterns. Avoid at all costs if you know you're vulnerable to gacha, microtransactions, or timesinks.
#suchobabbles#Tokyo Debunker#it's a global simultaneous release so I'm curious to see how it ends up doing in Japan#it's gonna be competing directly with stellarium of the fragile star which releases in a few days lmao. and is about a magic alchemy school#looks like the two games twt accounts have a similar number of followers#and then theyre competing with bremai releasing in may...#also adding this at the very end since i cant confirm anything:#but i found out abt this game bc it was rt'd by the former localization director/translator of A3en#i dont know if she worked on it or maybe her friend or maybe shes just hype! who knows! but i think her word (or rt) is worth something

Sooo... I thought of some random idea as a 'what if.' That 'what if' being what if the human/darling Silas found was a child instead? Of course,then he wouldn't be attracted to them in any way since that'd be icky- But I do imagine it to be rather interesting! So here's a lil story I made for it,if you don't mind^^ (just gave the child a name to make it easy): Daisy was hiking with her family on a decently high cliff above the forest,but not high enough to be labeled as drastic. Although it'd happen that Daisy got too curious for her own good and wandered too close to the edge,thus falling and ending herself up in the woods. She survived the fall by landing on some bushes that helped break her fall somewhat,but she hit her head pretty bad on the way down and due to that she cannot remember who she was with before nor how she got here. She wandered and wandered through the woods while the side of her head bled,eventually she grew tired and sat down under a tree only to momentarily hear a gasp. As she looked up she some man who pointy ears and who stood at about 250cm tall. Daisy herself was shocked to see someone so tall,the person themselves who is Silas- was also shocked to a) see a human and b) such a young and small one at that! Although he'd soon notice the cut on her head and approach,picking her up. Daisy got spooked at first but calmed down with his reassurance and then he asked what happened. She says she fell but when he asked from where,she cannot remember. Silas decides to take the child back to his house in the elven village to patch her up. After doing so,he decides that the child will stay with him from now on. P.S love your writing btw,I find it rather intriguing with the dynamics you create!
Aww this was so cute🥰
I personally don’t really want Silas to end up with an actual child because the reason the original darling can handle him to some extent is because they are a mature adult aware of what he’s doing is wrong and can protect their mental health to some extent no matter how much Silas messes up.
An actual child wouldn’t be able to do that. And life with Silas isn’t just sunshine and rainbows, he’ll mess up the child’s physical and mental needs while thinking he’s doing a good job in his delusional mind. So while him finding a human child sounds like a cute scenario at first, in the long run (or short run in this case) things might get fucked up real bad real fast

oh my goddd!!!! you have such good writing, i loved ur nat headcanons n the jj alphabet thingy:3
Now im curious about your nat!age regressior x van headcanons ? if u have any ofc!!! :D okai bye have a good day/nigt
-🌷
⋆˚ ౨ৎ ˖ ⋆.. caregiver!van & little!nat headcanons ˖ ᡣ𐭩 ⊹ ࣪ ౨ৎ ˚₊
tagging: @butchreg & @muttreg
eep the scrunklies!! I luv them soooo bad yall have no idea (oh and btw the jj alphabet wasn’t my post but just a post i reblogged!)
warnings: these all somehow became pre canon whoops
like mentioned in this post van calls nat ‘little rockstar’ which started because van was trying to come up with a nickname for nat but nat was vetoing every one of them until she said she wanted something “cool” and the idea hit van
when nat first starts regressing around van it’s kind of chaotic because van isn’t sure what she’s doing but she’s determined to help natalie the best she can
honestly if van just simply sat in the same room as nat when she was small without complaint that would be enough for nat (van ofc does more but nat isn’t nearly as worried as van is)
lots of movie nights together! van ofc loves movies but she starts to get really into the lore of random kids films so her & nat can discuss as they watch
also story times! nat loves a story before bed but she also asks for them while in the bath or coloring ect - van is always happy to come up with something for her!
at first neither of them are big cuddlers but eventually nat gets more comfortable and van is a physical person anyways so she welcomes them with open arms (literally)
even before the wilderness nat was never one for storms so on nights it was due to rain heavily or have thunder/lightning she’d spend the night at van’s and they’d build forts to sleep in and watch their favorite movies
van always ties nat’s hair back when she’s small or it’ll end up tangled to no end and/or in nat’s mouth
they have a secret handshake that natalie came up with while small but still likes to do when big
van gets sooooo protective over nat that it can sometimes take the other girls off guard since they don’t seem that close at first glance but they never question anything (and quickly learn to leave natalie alone when van is around)
nat doesn’t have many toys she plays with but she does have a handful of stuffed animals she likes to carry around with her
van keeps a small keychain of a stuffed dog on her backpack incase nat regresses at school and needs something to fidget with
van can’t cook but luckily for her all nat ever wants to eat while small is a grilled cheese or cereal
for a treat van will take nat to the local ice cream shop and get her one of those pre packaged snow comes while van gets an ice cream sandwich on chocolate chip cookies
they hold hands a lot and even in public nat won’t let go of van if she’s small - van’s gotten used to the stares and nat doesn’t notice them so van never says anything about it
at some point the girls from the team catch them holding hands and are very confused but don’t have any time to ask questions so everyone has their own theory about it (except tai who has been aware of nat’s regression & van being her caregiver for a while)
#jj headcanons#yellowjackets agere#little!natalie scatorccio#caregiver!van palmer#nat & van#van palmer#natalie scatorccio#natvan#🌷 anon

Hiiii @theshypinkflower
(btw my cousin asked me to add you because she wanted me to talk about her OC on my blog and ask what you think about it because from the stories and oc's you write and make that I tell to her, she loves them and she wants to see your opinion on an OC she is making, she's still working on it but I think it's pretty good)
So this is Ryan Goffard , one of Matt and Angelica's children (and yes she did use Matt as a base because she said she pictures Ryan to look a lot like him because dad jeans are strong)
Basically what she has told me about his backstory about what she's written about him so far,basically he has been a model since a young age, that's what people mostly know him for.
And if it isn't obvious he is really attractive, always has been, but that caused him a lot of problems, like with people sexually or harassing him in general, and people coming on to him even though he obviously didn't want it, and he was raped at one point by one guy and one girl at a high school party and they drugged him,and he has been SA'd many times, by people his age or older than him, in school and at work and online.
And that caused him to act like a dick and asshole a lot, not because he wanted to because he thought it would make him look less attractive so people would leave him alone, but sometimes that wouldn't work because you know some people like the "bad boy" type or just say he was "playing hard to get".
And due to all that SA trauma he never really felt like a man
And to make things worse he is asexual, but he would be in denial about this because he thought something was just wrong with him or he didn't find the right person, he didn't really know much about sexualities or anything, and plus she's not sure if Matt is like that but she knows Matt probably is around people that he lets his kids around that teach Ryan all this stuff.
He never really had a proper parental figure, they were either not there most of the time (I'm looking at you Matt 👀, and if you remember when I told you Matt and Angelica's love story... She died, and all Matt has really done for him and his other two siblings Emmy and Ethan was spoil them), and sure he had a few stepmothers but they never stuck around for long, the workers in the household were mostly just trying to pick up a paycheck not be a therapist, and most of the other adults around him are either teaching him bad stuff and not being an actual parental figure or just trying to groom him
he didn't really know how to ask for help or trust people,after all of that, I mean how would he?, and yes he did try to make friends but they we're usually only friends with him for his wealth or his body or status, so there weren't actually real friends just some people to pass the time with.
He basically relates to the "all you wanna do" song, and he also had to deal with a lot of struggles with work and life in general, and he would also have panic attacks or run away from anything even related to being sexual
And at one point he made a friend, she hasn't really made the friend's character yet but this is basically what happens, when he was around 26,he met this guy who he thought was actually his friend, someone he could talk to, someone he can hang out with, someone that isn't trying to get in his pants, and they were both the same age, they would talk about the problems,hang out, the only person Ryan really was vulnerable with, but of course... The guy wasn't different, at one point when they were both getting drinks at Ryan's house, and the guy was saying he was in love with Ryan and everything like that, and Ryan felt absolutely heartbroken... He thought the guy was different... He thought someone actually cared about him and not for his body, he rejected the guy and stopped talking to him, and the guy got mad and jealous basically in the mindset of "if I can't have you no one can" and started harassing him and everything but Ryan did his best to ignore him, but one day when Ryan was getting ready for another shoot in his dressing room, that guy came out of nowhere and shot him straight in the face, like in between his eyes, and obviously he died
That's basically it or what she has told me for now, she just wants to know your opinion on it or if she should change anything
And she told me, he wrote him because I wasn't really doing anything with Matt and Angelica's children, so I basically just gave them to her and let her figure it out
and she said she made his backstory that way because it is pretty realistic, mostly men that get SA'd aren't really talked about, and most people actually get away with giving boys or men in general sexual trauma, and people even make jokes about it like it's funny, because society doesn't really care, and men in the modeling and acting or even musical industry usually get sexualized by the most were some of the audience when they are attractive, or even if they're not famous in general if you're hot and you're a man you get sexualized, just like a woman or any other gender, SA is SA it doesn't matter what gender you are or who you are it is the same, and yet people view it differently no matter what, especially for guys
(That's it, anyway we both hope you have a good day pookie and we are sorry this is long, we love you 🩷🩷🩷:3)

So what im hearing is that Saran probably had siblings at some point. Unborn or not- the wording of "Saran is their first child" and "firstborns that still lived, to die" is VERY specific, the only logical conclusion is that tere were supposed to be children born after that that, for some reason, didnt make it to birth/died soon after. Saran never mentions any, so he may have been too young to remember, or he may never have known at all
Also his dad never being able to shrug off the responsibility of being a priest. Makes me think its not only Saran that is an only child, due to the curse or not
Lots to think in that department
Also every priest particularly died. Its VERY clear that whatever blessing/curse they had going on is probably of fear/ghost thingie origin, some sort of higher being that was likely bound to the people in Saran's bloodline
Would explain their innate ability to see ghosts. And their knowledge, the knowledge that Azai aquires and forms amygdala with is also very specific, the whole thing with contracts and how to navigate them? He didnt find thay out. He might have refined the techniques but that bastard has not had a single original thought in his life
The real thing that stumps me is, why is it that Saran dying caused whatever curse/blessing this was to kill every other priest? Daddy dearest knew Saran was dead when he died, so it is something that would have been very clear to priests themselves/Saran's dad being THE important one
Something makes me think it really has to do with the fact that when he died, dear old Saran cane back as a higher evil, fears feed off of this nebulous energy thing that i cant remember fully now (I dont know if negative in general or outright fright) so maybe the priests were able to produce a higher quality/quantity of such energy? Really have gone on a limb probably, i gotta go check everything on contracts to read what clues im forgetting
Just my initial thoughts! First time i write these theories down, been nursing them for a while but they hadnt come up yet so this is very messy first organizing of it all
Thank you for making such fun lore to analyze!
-🦜
ohh youre actually on the right track tho!! some things are right, some are wrong but i wont point out what bc i will def babble and i rlllllly wanna reveal it all through the story (tempted to do the side story right NOOWWW i wanna explain i wanna show i aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
this tho, safe to say that this is spot on
he first used saran for his ability to see and exorcise ghosts; saran always regarded it as a curse he didnt want to have while azai saw potential to help people (he didnt always have bad intentions) and later the potential to gain power and control since paranormal beings are festering the lands after all. he took it all but never knew how to properly control this kind of power and how dangerous it actually is, esp so when trying to tame and control a fear of greater evil. theyre all pure negative energy, there cant come anything good
anw thanks for the message!! i didnt expect you to actually go and theorize now akjscbjkas never feel forced or pressured to do that btw!!!!

Btw, why is everyone acting like Tim Minear single-handedly murdered Bobby in cold blood?
First of all, it's a tv show. It's a drama tv show. And in recent years they've gone a bit soft, prioritised comedy and romance and blockbuster action (seemingly prioritising occasional viewers over long term viewers), but this show has always had a dark side where bad stuff, really bad stuff happens and the main characters aren't exempt from that. This isn't a feel good show just because they never killed a main character before, the show doesn't owe you that.
Second point, especially with long running procedurals main characters leave. The actors want to move on or the cast is too expensive or the story's gone stale and monotonous. 911 hasn't added or taken away a main character since 2019. It was bound to happen at some point and due to the found family dynamic there was no way to completely remove a character this important without killing them. If they had just retired or taken a different job we still would've expected to see them all the time.
Thirdly and lastly, Tim Minear is the showrunner, but he can't just make decisions like that. Even if this was all Minear's idea alone, he never would've been able to pull this off if this was just "a horrible decision made by a terrible writer that was executed badly and will ruin the show forever". If that was the case then you can bet your ass somebody would've vetoed it. Tim Minear has people to answer to as well. There are people at abc, producers on the show, other writers - if all of them (who also work as professionals in this business on this show) had looked at this idea and thought it was an all around objectively bad writing choice then it wouldn't have happened.
It's the "911 hates its fans because Kristen Reidel is single-handedly blocking canon Buddie" debate all over again.
I'm not loving this turn of events either, Bobby was my favourite character and I wish he'd got a happier ending, but I can still work with what the show is giving me. This grief arc has at least 2 more episodes, maybe it'll still be a topic in season 9. A sad, heart-breaking character death hurts, but it can be good for a show.

i wonder if u agree, but sometimes when i read old man rust x younger oc, it's weird to me picturing somebody in early/mid twenties bc, realistically, that would make the oc around his daughter's age, and i don't think rust can go for that. i say that as somebody who's 23, so i don't mean to exclude younger women or whatever. anyway, that's why i really like your oc bc she seems like an actual match for rust and not bc of age, but bc she's just the type of person i can see him falling for, i guess? like directly canonically in the series, so yeah, thank you for your work!!! but that got me wondering: when u started to write, did you have somebody in mind already and thought of how that sort of oc will work with rust, or did u ask urself what sort of person compliments rust best? sorry if this is too much trouble.
NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE i think this is acc a super interesting ask!
my opinions below the cut…
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・
RIGHT so i wanna preface by saying EVERY SINGLE rust oc story ive read so far has meat to it, like the authors know their shit and they should get their due snaps and kudos
i think i read younger ofcs with like a pinch of salt in the sense that i know it’s a bit crazy — btw this is coming from someone who had a “relationship” with a much older man at the ripe age of 16 — but i think it’s still good to read
things we experience can be ugly and uncomfortable but it’s still real and a part of me appreciates like keeping it real 💀 this is going to sound a little femcel of me but let’s be honest, sex is about power and the dynamics of that power give intricacies to stories that make them interesting! rust is a man (😔) and have you ever seen that one study of like ages of women men find most attractive and it’s a consistent 20 even as men get to like 70
yeah
keeping it uncomfortably real but real nonetheless
true detective is southern gothic and what i love about southern gothic is that it doesn’t shy away from touching on the less palatable corners of human existence/nature/WHATever. do i see why a daughter woman child thing as a love interest to a middle aged man with a dead baby is off-putting? YES. do i still read things along those lines because it’s interesting? ALSO YES. because more often than not creators are self-aware and explore these topics with nuance, which i respect massively
now onto like the sort of second part of you ask, beautiful anon…
when writing The Idler Wheel, idk if i was thinking as deeply when creating an oc as i was fixated on the weirdness of rust and ocs like yearning 😭? for each other, and the fact that he felt anything at all was a massive woaaaahhh for them both. the way we experience / act on desire (not even sexual just any kind but actually maybe especially sexual) says so much about a person and i guess that’s the single point from which i branched out, and every other aspect of her came later
the reason she/oc is not like twenty is because, similar to what you said, i cannot picture 1995–2002 (around that time) rust with a youngYOUNGGGG woman becaaaause holy shit i think he’d just die, like out of sadness or hurt, i think he wouldn’t be able to look at her at all 💀
old dog rust on the other hand does not give a shit about doing what’s “right” imo if that makes sense, like he’s who he is and he feels what he feels and i think this version of rust would be much more receptive to a younger woman, even if it’s “wrong” because he literally just doesn’t care anymore
i think the only reason The Idler Wheel girl was able to sneak her way in around that time is because she’s grown and a part of his workplace and therefore she should be “safe”, no more than any of his coworkers. so he lets her in his space and he lets her bring him coffee and he lets her do him favours because she’s just like the others and he just has to tolerate her, just has to see her
but of course she’s not like his coworkers and he can’t place why he wants her so bad, only that he does, which is bad because she should be mundane and she should be nothing and yet unfortunately he wants to be her dog
does this answer your q or did i go off on a tangent
i love you anon 💕💕💕💕
#weird psychosexual longing#you know im not a pessimist#but when it comes to men#i struggle#so i understand why things would go certain ways#rust cohle#the idler wheel td#don’t want to offend anyone i love everyone ever and love everything please please#anon i can’t lie you really made me think#like bright and early (11am) you made me put my thinking cap on#and honestly i appreciate it#i never write thinking there’s anything to analyse in my writing#so maybe this is me digging for meaning#but either way thank you lots love you lots etc etc#idk what to go as for halloween and i have like three parties#rust cohle x reader

Nuance in (The Sandman) Fandom
Send me asks about everything Sandman-related!
I thought a lot over the past few days, partly prompted by discourse on here, partly due to a couple of “interesting” asks and messages I received (the type you don’t answer). I *think* they might have been prompted by engaging in discourse on topics like anti-blackness/racism, misogyny/sexism, TERF characters etc in The Sandman.
Fandoms are always getting super sensitive if someone shines a critical lens on their favourite works, authors and characters. So to make this clear (in case it isn’t already obvious from my brain-rot blog):
I love The Sandman. I love Neil Gaiman. I have an extremely soft spot for Dream (and Desire btw, who deserves a lot more character analysis than just being summed up as “villainous, sexy bitch”. One day, perhaps ;)).
I can read The Sandman and just get lost in the story, even after decades and many rereads.
But I can also view it through a critical lens—these things aren’t mutually exclusive.
Not critical enough or too critical?
As fans, we can get trapped in certain thinking patterns, like:
“My blorbo can do no wrong”-syndrome
“Characters with flaws are inherently problematic and imply authorial endorsement of those actions”
“Characterisation and problematic subtext are one and the same” (aka overanalysing and looking for problems where there are none is the death of every story, but failing to see problematic patterns where they are clearly visible is a problem, too).
Don't say anything bad about my favourite character
I think this doesn’t need much further exploration. It’s not my personal way of looking at stories through permanently rose-tinted glasses (I always feel it stalls my experience, but my experience is not everyone else's). Some people prefer that type of escapism, and I’m good with that (although the downside is of course that by not willing to engage with issues, we can unwillingly perpetuate them). Live and let live, ship and let sail. But please, for the love of god: Don’t insult people via their inboxes or messages just because their opinions and preferences don’t align with yours. I’m not going to sugarcoat it or phrase it “nicely”: It’s infantile (and a form of bullying btw), end of.
How can you even like a character who's so horrible? And that author must be equally horrible, too
We have to separate flawed characters, even those who are written to be really problematic, from real-life endorsement of these actions.
Author, narrator and character are three fundamentally different things, and don’t overlap as much as some people seem to think.
We can write vile, despicable characters to make a point (for me, Thessaly was always a prime example for this, and I explained why here). We probably hate them as we write them. I don’t know what else to say, but this facet of writing seems to get more and more lost on people, and it’s a worry. Crying for sanitised characterisation is one step away from censorship. We explore what is problematic about people and humanity through story. That’s how we process and learn. It’s nothing new, but it becomes impossible if we can’t write flawed and even disgusting characters.
Face value…
Since I’m mostly in The Sandman fandom, I often read that its ending is hopeless, and that’s supposedly the entire message.
It is agonisingly sad, yes. But is it truly hopeless? I personally see it as quite the opposite, but of course that’s my opinion, coloured by my life experiences.
I also get that show-only fans often haven’t read the comics, or at least not the whole arc. And as such, their outlook from what they’ve seen so far (and choose to focus on) has to be different by default. I also understand that many people are quite new to the comics, even if they have read them in their entirety. I’ve sat with them for 30 years, and I still find new things on every reread (and I read it more times than anyone should 🙈), and I still don’t feel like I’ve understood it all. Perhaps because I still haven’t fully understood myself (and it’s unlikely I ever will). If there’s one thing The Sandman isn’t, it’s one-dimensional and easy to grasp in its whole depth.
I just wrote a ginormous meta on it, if you’re interested, it’s here:
Subtext, (not so) glorious subtext
This is where it gets complicated:
We shouldn’t mix up characterisation and story subtext. Overanalysing every line to death will always make us find something that’s “problematic”, when it really isn’t in the wider context of the story.
Zooming in is NOT always a good thing. Sometimes, we actually need to zoom out.
But subtext *can be* (accidentally) problematic. Even in stories we love. And none of this negates what I previously wrote.
Stories have real-life implications of sorts, and we need to be able to talk about it. That’s where those slightly flabbergasting, hostile inbox messages come in, and I want to expand on that "topic of contention" a bit:
Neil himself confirmed that the Endless basically warp reality, and that this is why, after Dream’s failed relationship with Nada, many black women in his vicinity suffer terrible fates (Ruby and Carla in particular). And that this spell is only broken when he dies, and that it is the reason why Gwen doesn’t suffer the same fate. And said Gwen then gets used as a plot device to basically absolve Hob (who canonically really is a problematic character, whether show-only fans like it or not) from his slaver past. Once again, very clearly: No one is making this up. Neil confirmed it (for the comics, and that was over 20 years ago. It remains to be seen if his stance has changed as we move into that arc in the TV show).
I don't think it is correct to imply that Dream as a character is racist (I've read that, too) because he logically can’t be. He holds *all* the collective unconscious. He is also, strictly speaking, not white. He is everything and nothing, and he shows up in many different ethnicities throughout the whole arc, depending on who looks at him. But Neil played with a subtext here (reality warping due to a bad relationship which then affects everyone with similar physical traits) that will read very differently to a black person than it reads to a white person, and we have to understand why that is an *extremely* slippery slope.
Plus, we are supposed to see Hob, who *was* a racist at some point (you can’t not be if you’re a slave-trader—it’s impossible by default) as redeemed. And yes, he *does* regret deeply, good for him (and if I were saying this aloud, you would hear the sarcasm in my voice, because it is indeed all about him. We are to sympathise/empathise with him and his character growth while there isn’t much mention of the people he maltreated). But also: it was a black woman who basically forgave him (with dialogue that personally makes me cringe). And that black woman who offers forgiveness is not truly a black woman—she is a character written by a white man. And as much as author and character are not the same (see above), there is an inherent sensitivity in that power imbalance that we can't brush under the carpet.
I don’t think Neil is racist. Probably quite the opposite, and I can even see that his intentions were good from a storytelling point of view. BUT intention and impact are two fundamentally different things, and telling the story this way (comic version) betrays blindspots only white people have. Just like women have blindspots when they tell stories about men, and men have blindspots when they tell stories about women (and there are a few of those in The Sandman, too). And and and…
As storytellers, we can’t always speak from lived experience. It’s impossible. And that also means we occasionally make mistakes that look bad in hindsight, even if our intentions were good.
I guess the proof is in the pudding: What do we do when people who *have* that lived experience tell us it looks bad? If they inform us why it is hurtful, plays into old stereotypes etc?
Are we willing to listen and yield (both are the foundations of allyship btw), or are we insisting that our viewpoint as someone *without* lived experience is right? That lived experience extends to all lived experiences (sex/gender, sexual orientation, age...), and from all we’ve heard from Neil so far, it seems important to him to rewrite what he sees differently today. Whether they’ll always get it right for the show—we’ll see. At the moment, it looks a lot better than in the comics, and certain issues are already being handled with a lot more sensitivity, but a few problems remain.
Pushing back on criticism that comes from people with lived experience is problematic—I’d encourage us to think about what it looks like if a white majority in the fandom is basically saying that the opinions of POC are essentially “overreactions” (and yes, that happened).
It’s complicated. The Sandman was written in a different time, and I think we have to distinguish between things that weren’t really problematic at the time but have aged poorly (again, Thessaly springs to mind, and I have lived experience as a queer person during that time, so I can see it in context while at the same time acknowledging that I would make changes to bring it to the present day), and things that were always a problem due to blindspots. They were a problem in 1990, and if they don’t get changed, they are still a problem today.
This fandom is generally so much more open and nicer than others I know. But that doesn’t mean it’s infallible, because it’s full of humans.
Nuance is sorely needed, in both story interpretation and interaction between said humans.

Hii Bee!! (ノ◕ᴗ◕)ノ*✧
May I request the pjsk boys with a reader who has low stamina and is really bad at any kinds of sports; then on one day during PE lesson, the teacher demanded the reader's class(imagine the pjsk boys are in the same class as the reader)to run 5 laps around the school playground non-stop(means that stopping or walking to catch on some air for even 1 second aren't allowed, or else punishments like running 1 more lap are given)as a warm-up, the reader barely made it in the end due to their low stamina, not to mention that the playground is quite huge, it's about 200-300m for only 1 single lap; therefore, how would the pjsk boys help and comfort the reader afterwards(EG: giving the reader some small praises, handing the reader their own water bottle to drink since the reader's throat was burning like hell, being a wall for the reader to lean on since the reader's legs were super sore, etc)?
This is again my own experience at school rn, every PE lessons are litteral very exhausting hell to me, I hate PE lessons ngl. Btw, this idea popped up into my mind when I was running the 5 laps during PE lessons today, it was kinda silly of me to imagine the pjsk boys cheering for me whilst doing so just for comfort, lol. (╥﹏╥)|||
If you decided to write this request, thank you so much for doing so! Have an awesome day/afternoon/night, Bee! ♡⊂(^ω^)つ♡
Hello! And of course! I honestly relate so it was pretty nice to write~ Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did ^^
Akito, Toya, Tsukasa, Rui with reader who's low stamina
TagList: @bleachtheidiot @yulikesminori @miya-akane @coffeeykhs @alicewinter @indi-has-fallen @vodka-glrl
⊱ when task was given, Akito probably argued with teacher a bit. Not necessarily with anger in angry tone but he tried to get at least one lap less! If he succeeds then good for you and he'll definitely be proud for a long time! If not, you only heard him mutter few curses while passing you
"That... ugh... well whatever, I tried. Don't worry tho, we'll get it."
⊱ during running, he probably kept you company or ran a little bit beside you to hopefully make it a bit better for you but he won't admit to it
⊱ he also wanted to make sure no oke throws their few cents about your low stamina so he was usually passing everyone that passed by you
⊱ he won't talk with you and will tell you to not talk yourself as to not get tired too quickly, but he may start telling you few stories when he sees you're out of it
⊱ and when it's finally over, he'll pat your shoulder and give you your or if you forgot yours then he'll give you his water bottle
"Hey, good job there. It was one of a hella big step. How about we go for pancakes after school, hm?"
⊱ Toya immidietly knew you'll struggle theoguh this task and he hated the thought of it... so of course he decided to stay close to you if you won't mind
⊱ he also tells you to run slowly and in your own peace, after all there's no tempo in which you need to run, you just can't stop
"We can run slowly. Task is to run set number of laps, not to run at specific peace."
⊱ during running, he'll drop small compliment every loop or maybe even a bit more often sometimes
⊱ he's not good at talking so he'll just run about next to you and make sure you won't faint on spot next to him
⊱ as soon as you finish 5 laps, he'll just pick you up and carry you to the closest bench where he passes you water bottle
"You did really great job, Y/N. I knew you could do this."
⊱ after school, he probably offers to carry you either way at least for few minutes to make sure your legs won't hurt too bad tomorrow
⊱ let's be honest, Tsukasa is the type to make whole drama to teacher about it and put on his acting skills for a challange if it means he can make your life a bit better
⊱ but when his plan fails... he thinks of many ways to make it better for you... and that's when he finds the moment when teacher turns around and immidietly takes you ok piggy back ride so you can have at least one lap less!
"Listener quick! We have a second so jump on my back and I'll carry you for at least a lap!"
⊱ but if you're running on your own and there's no way for teacher to turn around, he'll literally give you the best motivating lines he could think of on the spot
⊱ and when you're finally done, you can be sure he'll literally carry you bridal style while absolutely spoiling you with compliments
"My star! That was truly magnificent show! I believe we should celebrate our victory in our favorite spot!"
⊱ and after classes, he's literally ready to carry you for the whole day just to make it a bit easier for you after this big step
⊱ Rui just knew how much you didn't wanted to go through this so of course he tied convincing you to make up some excuse if you don't want to participate in those classes
⊱ bur if it doesn't work and you have to go through this classes, he'll try to be there and cheee you up!
⊱ he also makes few notes to himself and will definitely try to taking of some inventing that could help you with this problem
"Hmm... if I make something similar to my invention 0084 but adjust- oh don't worry, I was just lost in my thoughts for a second there!"
⊱ after you did it, he'll gently pat your shoulder and compliment how well you did there, just to ask if you want some cold water since he'll go drop by shop really quick
⊱ but overally, he's just there assuring you that you did really good job!
"You did amazing job there, darling. You don't know how proud of you I am~"
⊱ be prepared because on next day you may or may not receive new invention of his~

- hi (a year later) ♡

So... where do we start?
Gosh, I'm tearing up just thinking of what to say. 🥹
Hi, beautifuls.👋🏾 Long time no see, huh?
I feel like I've been avoiding this blog for a while, both parts due to the absolute wreck that has been my life in the past year, along with just not really knowing what to say to you lovely people.
A few years ago, around the end of 2022, I, a very lost and scared adolescent, started this page because of one idea. I had watched an emotionally impactful movie and could not do anything before I got something down on a page. I was met with so much kindness, love, and support, and for all the times I've been told that a work of mine brought comfort to people, writing and contributing something that felt so real actively kept me going. I cannot overstate just how much this page has built me and kept me alive.
Now, I'm feeling a bit too close to adulthood, with so many hopes and dreams, I can only imagine younger me is so proud. But with that growth and progress, there have been some excruciating growing pains. I try not to be dramatic about that type of thing (we're all going through a lot of things), but I've found that not acknowledging the sheer amount I've endured hasn't helped me in any case, so might as well admit it.
With everything, I just couldn't put my all into anything. Breathing was just about all I could muster up the energy for, and writing and creation started leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. And seeing as the support here never wavered (seriously, I was shocked to see I still get notes on a weekly basis on my stuff), I didn't want to grow resentful of something I love so much. So, I left.
I contemplated deleting the blog, just to block out the reminders of what I was avoiding, but I think I always knew that wasn't going to happen. There's too much love here for that.
Anyway, skip a year, and life is still actively being a menace. But, I've grown a lot, and somehow, that doesn't feel so heavy anymore. I've spent the last few months working on other projects. Developing my writing, finally starting to see that I'm not so bad at this whole thing.
I won't keep you all hostage for too much longer, I promise. My main message through all of this, is that for the past few years, and honestly a lot longer than that, I've seen how ugly life can get. I've seen how hard it can be to keep moving. But I've also seen how other people's creations have had such large impacts on me. Figuratively and literally pulling me out of the trenches.
And for all I've learnt from this, I want to be able to start giving that back again. I thought of starting another blog for this, but I have too many of those already, and this one is good enough to host more comfort and support to you all. Especially with how ugly the world can feel on the bad days.
The black panther ladies will always have a space here. I may not be sure of the consistency of content regarding them currently (Like the next few months), but I would really like to expand on the people I write for. Other woman/non-men, that you may have interest in getting X Reader content for.
I'm looking into more series type writing, establishing longer storylines, and all such things on occasion. So with my long awaited return, I implore you to drop any new characters you might have fallen in love with and would not mind being added to my roster of stories. (This includes other fandoms btw) Asks are always open, and I will actually be looking at them again. 😅
I guess this is the part where I say have a wonderful day, everyone.
I love you all! 🌺

Hello there!
tw long sentences and ask(just in case<':) )
Just found out about your account and your sacrifice ressurection au and I just love it.
But there are some parts I didn't really get so it would be great to hear more about the au. The lack of understanding could be due my bad knowledge of English so sorry in advence if you had revealed information, that I'm asking now, before.
The main questions are about the first part of your story. I haven't played cotl, just heard the lore from tumblr, but still, how much of original game is included in your au? Was there a fight between Narinder and the Lamb like in og? What relationships between Narinder and his siblings?
In one of your comic Lamb says that he resurrected the Bishops from purgatory, if I remember correctly. Is this was after Lamb sacrificed themselves to Narinder or before? Is this was Lamb or Narinder idea to bring them back?
If Shamura was the one to give the idea of resurrection to Narinder in the first place why Narinder had to do it in secret? ...how he hid the bodies of the Lamb when he killed themself?
What was the Bishops reaction to resurrected Lamb?
That's the first that came to my mind but I'm sure there is more but it's late and my braincells are not really in the mood to work.
If my writing was so bad that you couldn't understand what I was asking about then take it as the cry to more au ramble. I need it to function okay for the next 5 days. Begging like Narinder to Lamb.
Btw can't wait for your another au posts:)
Good night!
Or morning, day or evening. Idk what timezome you are in.
Dude I'm so glad you like my au >:D, but yeah most of the prologue is the game. Narinder and the lamb do end up fighting in the game in a giant boss fight if you choose to keep the crown rather than giving it to him. After that, if you spare his life, you can get him to join your cult. Similar final boss fights happen against the other bishops to get them to join.
This is when I diverged off the game as after all of that, the lamb in my au sets up a sacrifice of themself after all of that to give the crown back to narinder and give him back his powers.
The relationship between narinder and his siblings was a bit strained at first (because they killed him and would've had him trapped for all of eternity basically) but this au takes places after they've made up to the best of their abilities and are somewhat regular siblings now.
It was shamura who suggested the idea first to narinder, but they regretted that as they realized that narinder was worse off mentally than they thought he was and narinder began to grow obsessed with the idea of bringing them back.
It got to the point that the both heket and shamura had began to monitor narinder when they could to prevent him from trying to resurrect the lamb as it wasn't doing neither of them good for him to keep trying. Of course, narinder had begun to do them in secret at night and by the time the others realized what he was doing, it was too late and he made the deal with lamb.
Heket was furious cuz she knew the lamb didn't want this and this extreme attachment narinder had to the lamb would just worsen now the lamb was back. Shamura & leshy both had the sentiment of "Oh well, at least narinder seems slightly better". Kallamar mostly felt guilty at not being able to stop narinder from resurrecting the lamb against their will, but he was relieved to see narinder happier at the lamb's presence.
Hope this all makes sense and sorry for any writing errors (I literally am eye blind to any spelling & grammar errors rn I've been typing so fast)
Edit: also I imagine that like he disintegrated the bodies of lamb after the failed resurrections
