i really do love that creepypasta has new fans now and that its gotten somewhat of a revival but only those of u that have been locked in since like 2014 will ever truly understand
#i remember having to scrape the bottom of the barrel for any morsel of clockwork content for YEARS like 2016-2020 aka when the fandom#kinda unofficially died off

something something the Beau 🤝 Ashton comparison of the death drive masked as self-sacrifice kicking in due to finally achieving personal success and a growing sense of belonging but the contrast of how that presents along the class divide. Beau, raised in an upper middle class yet personally hostile home environment, wanting walk away from everything and retreat back into the warmth of being a failure who nobody cares about in one grand gesture to trade her life for another's, vs Ashton, abandoned by both family and society, wanting to transform themself into something that can do what they believe they can't because he believes he has real no future and this grand gesture is all he will ever be worth.
#maybe this is off base but it's interesting to me#Beau knows her potential does have tradable value (in contrast to Yasha's continued misery being like scraping the bottom of a barrel)#but Ashton believes this potential is the only value he has to contribute. another physical sacrifice paid the same as every one before it.#cr spoilers#ish

Somewhat of a random thought, but I've always been interested in the slightly distorted voice in Decending.
We've had talks about how some songs are response to others, from Vessel to Sleep or Sleep to Vessel, such as Sugar being a response to The Offering, but I don't think it's been talked about much with the two responding to eachother in one song.
This leads me to Decending, particularly, the main chorus. It's the only part of that song which has some sort of vocal distortion: a reply of sorts.
The lyrics begin to take a bit of a different shape: "You come crawling back to me, but I'm already on the ground", sounds like someone's being brought down to their level. Vessel is just as close to being a forgotten corpse as Sleep is.
Then, we have more of a response in, "And we all know that talk is cheap." to "So come on and save me now". Obviously, this one can go both ways. Both are in need of saving, and the 'response' begins to sound a bit more desperate.
Next, we have, "And you wonder what I believe." to "But you don't wanna be around". This can be joined into one, but I like it better as a two part response.
Finally, "So, what would you do for me?" and "Yeah, what would you do for me?" It's a clear-cut deal. Both know what they have to lose and both are very ready to risk it.
When put into context, it feels like a somewhat desperate, forcefully playful back and forth. Depending on your viewpoint, you could swap who's speaking when quite easily too, and still arrive at a similar conclusion.
Either Vessel is feeling somewhat confident and joking around with Sleep for the sake of a gain, or he's watching a dead and dying God of old tongues realising he's the perfect host.
Just a little thought.
P.S: I am very, very aware that this is half baked-thought and this could easily just be a production choice made for funsies. Hence why it is just 'a thought', lol.
#something half clicked for me listening the other day and I thought I'd share?#you can tell I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrell here lol#I feel like there's definitely something but I don't have the mind for it#as per usual feel free to add any thoughts you may have!

Trying to find superbat fic where they're both just huge fuckin nerds. Why are there so few of those.
#I am scraping the bottom of the boostle barrel and mischaracterisations are starting to chafe#so I was like. superbat has lots of fic#but it has lots of boring fic where theyre sexy in normal ways#instead of being neurotic nerdy idiots#the 'autistic clark kent' tag is a desert#I just want that niche unhinged flavour of interaction#maybe that's why I write more superbat than boostle. cause there's an absolute desert when it comes to the characterisation I like#superbat

what if ais's gang left because he chose to drink from the seaspring
his gang being absent + him forgetting who he is are both sensitive subjects when mc mentions them
what if he drank for power (or another reason), which his gang already disagreed with, and ais actually did forget who he is + what he was originally all about (morals, standards), so his gang abandoned him.
that's why he so damn lonely
#i'm replaying again :)#just scraping the bottom of the barrel searching for crumbs#touchstarved game#ais#like what if he wasn't even the leader of the gang but wanted to be. and his fellow members warned him#( A SPARROW SINGS ) * my posts!

going insane. thinking of wyll and reader raising little lily together... it only takes him one glance at you playing with your daughter, the sound of your melodious laughter and the tiny ones happy little giggles makes his heart leap with joy.
he wonders what he's done to deserve this. such happiness in the form of a loving spouse and a beautiful daughter.
he wonders about giving lily a little sibling too... later that night, when she's tucked in for sleep and you're laying in bed with your husband, he presses a kiss to the palm of your hand, trailing tender pecks of affection down your arm, up your shoulder and neck, smiling against your skin as you hum happily, comfortably at his affection.
when you ask what's gotten him like this he smiles, looks at you with a love so deep its difficult to hide - not that he wants to of course... he voices his thoughts, how he wants to father another child with you at his side, how he wishes to have some semblance of a normal life with you after everything you've been through, with two (or more, should you want to) wonderful children besides you.
you're silent for a bit and he's quick to reassure you its entirely up to you, he's already happy as it is, he doesn't want you to feel pressured...
he quiets down when you kiss him, hands cupping his face and he can taste saltiness on your lips. tears fall down your face but not of sadness or anything of the sort... it's happy tears, as you smile and whisper that you want this as well, you'd love to carry his child into this world one day...
you don't think you've ever seen wyll be this happy as when he kisses you back, one hand caressing the front of your stomach, where your future child will eventually be, like he's already anticipating it, desiring this as much as he did that first night you kissed under the stars.
im going to walk directly into the ocean

I get the underworld classifying Flatwoods Monster and Mothman as menaces because Flatwoods had fumes which caused illness and nausea to whoever approaced them in the woods and the Mothman is linked to the collapse of the Silver Bridge, and even Steve because they know he's responsible for the Kellwasser extinction event (intentionally or no) but Bigfoot????? What did he ever do? He's literally just chilling in the woods and hiding from hikers, wtf!
#bigtop burger#btb steve#I'm not saying any of the cryptids (or Steve) are guitly or deserve to be imprisoned in any way#because I believe they're all sweet innocent gentle angel babies and I love them#But with bigfoot its like man you guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one he literally did NOTHING WRONG!!!!!#He's just a chill hairy shy guy who lives in the woods calm tf down

it's truly insane and I think the most annoying thing about people defending their use of AI is how quickly the notes will be filled with people like "I have [x fairly common neurodivergence] and so I'm obviously too stupid and lazy to do [x task people with said condition have been doing on their own forever]" like actually a huge percentage of my artists friends also have ADHD and they can do everything from writing their own essays to doing their own art.
People obviously and commonly struggle with some tasks but it's 1) not a monolith, and 2) has literally never required such a gormless and pathetic avoidance of any actual effort. If you wanna cheat on an essay pay someone like a normal person or do the work or set something up with your prof or reexamine whether you can keep up with the program. If you want to see oc art pay someone or try to develop a talent or create an aesthetic board that makes you think of them or a playlist that follows their emotional arc. Like it's insane how quickly people will be like "people with my condition are actually completely incapable of art, thought, eloquence, and anything that requires any thought or effort" like 1) fuck you, 2) improve yourself because you are an oil spill of a person.
#.txt#like actually AI has made my job hunt an unmitigated hell so there is no ethical use of it without fucking an entire industry out of work#and listen it's not high art work. it is starter level and emergency entry work. it's freelance bullshit.#now on top of scraping the bottom of the barrel for garbage work I also have to worry that their chatbot will be fed my work#and they will just lie to me about it.

I cannot believe we have to have this conversation in the Year Of Our Lord 2023, but here we are. So I’ll say it once, and I’ll say it loud:
READING, WRITING, AND/OR CONSUMING “PROBLEMATIC CONTENT” DOES NOT MEAN YOU CONDONE IT.
Something’s tagged with tags you don’t like? Easy way out of that, and it’s called DON’T LIKE, DON’T READ.
Something isn’t tagged properly? Ask them kindly to tag it, then back out of the fic/ post. Also easy.
Angry that those fics exist? Let me give you one guess as to whom censorship actually ends up hurting - if you guessed queer people, minorities, and women, CONGRATS, YOU’RE CORRECT! Because you might not like that content, you might be triggered by it (which is, again, what tags are for), but OTHERS may not like the content YOU create, and guess who gets to decide which type of content gets censored? News flash, it’s not us. And if you don’t believe me, take some time to search fandom history... or any history, for that matter.
Hope this helps.
#kinnporsche#kinnporsche the series#meta#fandom#this fandom has really scraped the bottom of the barrel hasn't it#first we applaud a woman abusing a man#possibly for years on end#because she has a vagina#or some such bullshit#completely ignoring the fact that she is ALREADY a proven abuser#like women can't fucking lie#and are ALWAYS the victim#and now we're policing content#and calling for outright censorship#hate to tell you but ao3 exists to combat censorship#and if you don't like that#then you can find another site#and harassing people because you are a bnf and you disagree with them is a shit move#leave people the fuck alone
