Everyone cheering for Robby for once is a nice change of pace. It's so nice of the show to actually give him an arc and let him accomplish something

I absolutely love Miya Cech, I follow her on insta and she seems adorable. But I doubt this is the right track to follow for a character like Toph. (I'm also certain this wasn't Miya's decision but rather the writers, but they are once again letting the young actors take the fall for them just like they did with the changes in Sokka's character, I'm noticing a bad pattern here.)
The whole point of Toph is that she was raised with femininity and grace forced upon her, manners and etiquette being an important part of high society. Being feminine for her also meant not being able to fully embrace her element, seeing as earth is often associated with brute force and strength.
Being feminine just wasn't her, and in running away and embracing who she really is she rejected it completely, learning to love herself in her own way. Toph being Toph drove forward the story! And yes, this came with a bunch of flaws. Toph had a big mouth, was aggressive, rude (which she chose to be), not hygienic, and chose to exhibit bad manners.
I once again notice this pattern of the Netflix writers taking any flaws a character might have and trying their damnest to erase them. Katara wasn't allowed to be a thief, or decisive, or angry. Sokka wasn't allowed his sexist -> feminist arc. Aang wasn't allowed to actually run away from responsibilities. And now Toph isn't allowed to be the brutish girl she is.
#listen i had already given up on this show long ago but boy they just like digging their hole deeper and deeper#and netflix keeps handing them shovels#i don't like that they always let the actors reveal these changes in their interviews#making it seem as if it's their choice#the writers like to have a scapegoat it seems#avatar the last airbender#atla#avatar#natla#netflix atla#netflix#toph beifong#toph#miya cech

Just some words I've been needing to hear for a few weeks now and once I finally wrote them down, I thought maybe there were other people who might need to hear them too ❤️
You don't need to be anyone's favorite writer for your writing to be good.
The worth of your writing is not measured by whether or not you're included in fic recs or the amount of comments/asks you get.
Your works don't need to be recognized as some of The fics of the fandom to be good or worth reading.
'Popular' writers in your fandom are also just writers (and humans!!) : you don't need to impress or be noticed by them to have a place in your fandom. Fandom should be fun so don't let your brain ruin it with a misplaced sense of competition <3
You don't need to post a fic every week to be considered a writer. You don't need to write every week to be a writer. There is no limited places in fandom: come and go as you want and as life allows you to. Post when you feel like it, there is no trend to surf on to stay 'relevant' as a fic writer or a content creator. Fandom will always wait for you.
Your writing is good, and the more you write, the more you find your style, the better it gets.
Your writing made someone's day. Your writing is helping the fandom stay alive. Your writing should make you happy, and that happiness should not be proportional to how recognized you are in your fandom.
I know it can be discouraging to see tons of fic recs in your fandom and none of them including your fics. But yesterday, when I was feeling down, I re-read my own published works because they were the stories I wanted to read. And I enjoyed reading them, so much. And that is enough to keep me writing, because it showed me there is no better person to write the stories I have in my head than myself (a huge progress considering months ago, I couldn't reread something I'd written because I was cringeing too hard to get through two sentences).
Find your people that will always hype you and your fics up: you and your writing don't have to appeal to every single person in your fandom. Write niche fics! Rarepairs seemingly no one brought up before! Include headcanons and takes and interpretations you've never seen written before!
Write the stories you are dying to read, and I promise you, you'll find other people who were hoping to find that story somewhere, too.
Your writing is unique because it can only ever be yours and same goes for your stories; your writing is worth reading and your stories are worth being written <3
#feeling really nervous about posting this because my brain is convinced people will think it's a dig when it is absolutely not#but they're the words I needed someone to tell me for weeks so if it can help anyone <3#so I really hope no one interprets them as a dig lmao#every work published is a blessing to the fandom#kind of my take on the write for yourself i guess#writing positivity#on writing#writeblr#writers on tumblr#writing encouragement#writing motivation

Viktor and Jayce both need to take some non-STEM classes
I'm joking but also a little not-joking that this is in fact, a theme in the show.
In Season 1.08, Ambessa meets Jayce for the first time after he's become a councilor. One of the first questions she asks him is, "Do they teach military history at your Academy, Mr. Talis?"
Jayce takes this as a set up for an insult against him. He's rattled by the bathhouse and braced for a fight. He's so riled, in fact, that he completely misses what Ambessa is probing him for there.
Ambessa wasn't setting him up to make him feel small, like Jayce feared, she wanted to know if he had a military history background or even the beginnings of the skills needed as an engineer to understand or counter some of the political manipulations she's about to pull on him.
Jayce answers: I'm not sure.
Not only has Jayce never taken a military class, he as a scientist doesn't even know if his school offers it.
That made him easy pickings for Ambessa. She wouldn't even need to be subtle, she could use the most basic tricks in the book against a proud young man with only a scientific background and know he wouldn't even begin to have the tools to pick up let alone counter what she's doing to him.
And then we get to Viktor in S2. Now, I think "How much of Cult Leader Viktor is even Viktor?" is a fair question. But the whole Machine Herald ethos he seems to be working towards in his inner monologue in 2.06 is yet another example of "Won't someone PLEASE make these boys take some sort of liberal arts class? An ethics course? SOMETHING?"
Viktor is working his way (Hexcore influence or no) to the conclusion that many frustrated young activists have hit upon when their activism doesn't work.
He tried to help people. But people didn't want to be helped or didn't cooperate with the way he wanted to help them.
His conclusion? Clearly it's the people who are wrong. It's the people who need to be changed.
To quote Pratchett, "“People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.”
And of course, once you start to see people as the problem, that people need to be fundamentally changed, added, or subtracted from, when you treat people as things, that is when the real evil begins.
You have to accept people as they are and work within those bounds, because otherwise you have to change people and that pretty much always leads to the sort of atrocities that the Machine Herald seems gearing up to do. Namely, add and subtract away the people, or the characteristics of people, that don't fit his vision for the world.
And all I can think is: won't Piltover Academy please for the love of god make your tech bros take some goddamn history and philosophy classes please??
#arcane#arcane meta#arcane spoilers#kind of joking but also kind of not#and knowing that the writer Overton is actually a Great Courses fan#I actually kinda think this is a deliberate dig#Jayce and Viktor BOTH don't have any non science background#it makes them very susceptible and under prepared to face certain ideas

thinking of the little moments between you and the bots experiencing intimacy together for the first time, how foreign yet exciting it must be to explore one another — the rush, the thrill, the quiet, almost hesitant interactions, where every touch and look feels electrifying. (sfw!) (slightly suggestive)

rodimus urgently running his servos down your body: metal fingers grabbing your thighs and squeezing your hips. too impatient to wait and too eager to slow down, he starts fumbling with the hem of your shirt. unsure of how to undress you, the captain glared at the material as if it had personally insulted him, almost tearing the cotton to shreds. and for a brief second, it was just the two of you standing under the half-light, laughing together as you teach him how to pull it over your neck. he tries to be careful, going as slow as he can even when his hands shake in anticipation — cooling fans growing louder with every inch of skin you reveal underneath.
minimus brushing your hair to the side to reveal your nape, the cold air of the room acting as a delicious counterpoint to the sudden press of his warm mouth against the back of your neck, causing you to shiver. the first kiss had been tentative, shy, and barely ghosting over your skin. you understand that the last thing your lover wants to do is to hurt you, but judging from the noises you're making : breathless and begging, minimus has nothing to worry about. and so the point-one-percenter carefully tilts you forward to continue a path down your bare spine, making you sing into the pillows.
skids staring at you from across the table, servos drumming against the chair. even when your eyes were cast down to read the papers in your hand, you could sense him watching—the gears in his processor turning. you knew it was because you had your glasses on, and for some reason, the mech had taken quite the fascination with them. with a call of your name, you looked up, fully expecting him to distract you with one of his usual hypotheticals. instead, he used a single servo to push your glasses up the bridge of your nose. tilting your face upwards, skids continued to shamelessly stare, flashing you a lopsided grin before swooping down to press his mouth against yours.
first aid trying his best to undo the buttons of your shirt, big, blocky servos struggling against the fabric. you didn’t want to intervene, urging him to continue and using this opportunity to steady your breathing. the medbay was void of any sound, save for the incessant whirring of the monitor systems and machinery faintly beeping in the background. once the last button came undone, it was as if every single noise suddenly ceased to exist. all you could focus on was the medic sinking to his knees, resting the side of his helm against your chest—audials trying to pick up the faint beating of your heart. he said this was for research, but even with his visor, you didn’t miss how his optics followed the flush blooming from your face down your neck.
#just me churning out these drabbles to keep my writing streak and avoid writers block#i know it's repetitive let me be i'm only halfway through digging my creativity out of its coffin#skids#minimus ambus#minimus ambus x reader#rodimus x reader#skids x reader#first aid x reader#rodimus#first aid#transformers#maccadam#mtmte#the lost light

Anon.
Are you fucking serious right now?
I saw your message and I had to take a full-ass walk around my block because I was genuinely afraid I’d punch my goddamn wall.

Let me break this down for you very clearly, so even your AI-smooth-brained moral compass can process it:
You are not entitled to shit.
Not my writing. Not the ending. Not a single fucking word I typed out with my own fucking bleeding fingers.
You think you “need” closure?
Cool. I “need” eight hours of sleep, a functioning spine, and respect from strangers online. Guess what?
None of us are getting what we want today.
Fanfiction is a gift.
Not a product, not a service, not a series finale you paid for on HBO Max.
A gift.
You don’t throw a tantrum because the gift didn’t come with a bonus epilogue and a director’s cut.
Your entire ask is a monument to entitlement. You say “if you're not going to write it, I think it's fine to use Al?”
I did NOT write it for AI. I wrote it for human readers. For emotion. For narrative voice. For soul.
AI doesn’t have that. You want a soulless machine to mock my style and feed you a bootleg version of my work?? Which is, not to say but, the equivalent of a a knock-off Louis Vuitton sold from the back of a van?
Then don’t ask me. Just go to your shameful little corner and live with the fact that you’re the kind of person who disrespects art to feed your own dopamine addiction.
You wanted permission, so now you get the wrath.
I see in your other little asks, “AI is there to make things easier.”
At whose fucking expense? The thousands of fanfic writers whose fics are being scraped, harvested, mimicked and tossed into machine-learning hell so you don’t have to wait for an update?
Do you have any idea how many of us have had our fics [both in our caratblr and other fandom spaces] show up on AI mirror sites or been plagiarized by bots? Do you know how many real authors are losing book deals, commissions, or livelihoods because of this exact entitled logic?
Let me give you a basic fucking rundown since you clearly didn’t do the homework:
AI is not ethical – Generative AI is trained off data sets that include unauthorized, uncredited, scraped work from unpaid artists, writers, poets, journalists, bloggers, fanfic writers—fuck, even therapy forums.
Authors are suing OpenAI for ingesting copyrighted novels without permission.
Fanfic is already vulnerable – We exist in a legal gray area protected only by community ethics and mutual respect. You're breaking both.
You say “I won't post it anywhere, it's just for me.”
Oh, wow, thanks. So you only want to steal quietly. Like that makes it better.
You think the damage only happens when it’s public? WRONG.
Every time you plug an artist’s work into a machine, it gets processed, stored, used for training, forever.
You have no control over where it goes or how it’s repurposed later. You are feeding the beast and killing the creators in the process.
Don’t give me “I respect you but—”
If you respected me, this message wouldn’t exist.
You get your AI-stitched ending, it doesn’t scratch the itch, and you feed it another one.
And another.
And another.
Until the entire fucking archive is turned into a graveyard of replicas and you’re the ghoulish little shit dancing on the corpses of every writer you leeched dry.
And you say “I think I’m just entitled to a bit of closure”?
Entitled. You actually used the word.
Thank you for confirming what we already knew:
That you don’t see us as people.
You see us as content machines that owe you something because you liked our work. You don’t want closure, you want control, and you will NOT get it from me.
You’re entitled to a bath, a glass of water, and the air you breathe—not my writing, not my thoughts, and definitely not a fucking auto-generated Frankenstein mockery of my style you can jerk off your emotions to.
So here's your closure:
No, you may not touch my fic.
No, you may not feed it to a bot.
No, you may not engage with my writing, my blog, my friend's blog, or my community ever again.
Block me. Report me. Cry about it.
But know this:
Every time you open an AI generator to finish a story you didn’t write, you are choosing to destroy the very creators you claim to admire.
You should be ashamed, but you won’t be. Because parasites don’t feel guilt, they just suck and suck and suck until there’s nothing left.
I'll never forget this time and date.

I hope it was worth it.
Let this be your final fucking warning.
— Celeste.
#please get the fuck off my and my friend's and other writers blog#you're NOT welcomed#you deadass came into MY inbox with a digital scalpel asking to butcher my fic#and expected me to say “yes queen go ahead”???#feed my blood sweat and tears into the algorithm grinder bc YOU can’t wait???#go gnaw on drywall#the entitlement is fucking radioactive#“i won’t share it” oh wow babe THANK YOU for promising to keep your theft private. like that makes you less of a digital robber#cry me a river build a bridge and then jump off it#you don’t “need closure” you need a damn hobby and some fucking boundaries#go knit or scream into a jar or idk read a newspaper#don’t treat writers like vending machines and throw tantrums when the candy doesn’t drop#AI is not your little storytelling fairy godmother. it’s a grave-digging industry leech#go sit in a corner and think about why no one wants you in fandom spaces anymore#and don’t come back unless it’s with a goddamn apology and a clue#mylovesstuffs asks

the way ive seen some people say that jake wouldnt be sub like what and he would def call someone mommy idk he just gives me those vibes
it does go both ways tho! saying you think jake or whoever would do something is the same as thinking he wouldn't when all we are referring to is fiction. none of us actually know and the weird superiority complex ppl have with their opinions on what idols act like and what they believe in is crazy to meeeeeeeee. [even with me reading birth charts, i use that skill for funsies and to adapt some of my characters to their charts. i don't actually think or assume these idols follow those charts down to the number yknow?]
like yes! be delusional!!! but STAY WITHIN THE FICTION WORLD LMFAO FSDKJHKJ like don't go around shouting "HE WOULDN'T DO THAT!!" or "tf u mean? I KNOW HE WOULD DO THAT!!!" bc none of us know. what I do know, is he's gonna do what I write him doing in a world that's not real and strictly typed into a doc. ppl always try n make shit more than it is and it's like shut upppppppppppp
at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, bc jake told me himself he likes being on his knees.
#ask#anon#not a dig at you#just the whole situation is stupid#even referring to fictional characters and anime bois n shit#like THE WRITER CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!#WE MAKE CHARACTERS!!!! WE SIMPLY REPLACE OUR OWN CHARACTERS WITH IDOLS/PRE-EXISTING CHARACTERS!!!!!#this doesn't count when someone is writing a fic based around canon events but you usually find them trying to be accurate there#but yeah#u won't find me writing anything close to reality ever. it's realistic in its own world#not the one we live in tho#OK IM DONE YAPPING

Do you ever think that DC had a meeting going: Ok who do we turn gay to please the demographic?
Not Batman or Nightwing obviously. They’re the main characters with title comics.
Not Barbara. We can’t have Dick’s love interest be lesbian. Plus people might mistake her for Kate bc Batwoman is already lesbian.
Not Jason. He was already controversial when we brought him back.
Not Steph and Cass, they’re already kids of villains. We can’t have people accusing us of changing them and making them to appease the wokes. And Cass is already Asian so we shouldn’t add another thing. On the same thought, Duke is out bc he’s already Black.
Not Damian bc he’s a kid and a main character. And also bc we’re making Jon Kent come out and we can’t have them dating because ‘reasons’
Tim it is then. We haven’t done anything with him recently.
#bat family#probably what happened at a writer’s meeting#batman#robin#red robin#nightwing#no offense ok? this was meant to be a dig at DC#red hood#spoiler#batgirl#orphan#oracle

Orphan from Hades, outcast from Gehenna
I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I finally got around to it. Here I collect all the details that this sweet lamb has in common with Hades. ...aaand some rambling about him and his Solomon thing, because why not.
Yes, I miss him very much. Yes, I did it just to look at his beautiful face. Get ready for a collection of screenshots.
We all know that Sitri is a little... ok, very delulu about Solomon. As strange as it may sound, this is the most superficial of problems. This is eye-catching. But underneath the irritation he causes there is much, much more, and it is not good for him.
In the first part we will go through the facts and his connection with Hades, the second part is my long rant. You will have marked what is where.
PS. Sitri lovers, don't worry. I belong to this nation myself, it's not a hate rant.
Jealousy and distrust
Do I even need to mention it? He's regulary call out for this. And this is the jealousy he feels especially towards the Solo MC. During the Halloween event, he was even called out that, paraphrasing, "at this rate, maybe you really should leave Gehenna and go back to Hades". Unfortunately, I don't have this one screenshot, so you'll have to take my word for it.
Not only MC is a person which makes him jealous, but also his king. Offtop, Satan knows this and really enjoys irritating him. Apart from Sitri, MC and Leviathan (so probably all others kings too), I don't remember Satan trying to annoy anyone so purposefully, but it may be me just not remembering.
Additionally, constant doubts. Sitri has always distrusted Leamas, and if it weren't for Satan, he would have killed him on the spot. The first thing he does when Marbas appears and threatens us is pulls out a gun and puts it to his head (he is justified here because the kings did the same). In the Christmas story, whenever he sees Gabriel, he immediately throws knives at him.
Who else kills everyone who has even a 1% chance of threatening Hell?
Let alone the thing that they know and remember each other.
It doesn't mean that they knew each other very well or that they were friends. But, for example, Sitri and Bimet did not know each other. Since both Sitri and Leviathan remember each other even after some time, Sitri must have spent a lot of time in Hades. No wonder he took over their vibe.
Also, a little spoiler of ch5, just as Sitri only called us by our name when we drifted off into the land of sleep, Leviathan in his H-scene only softened when we were so unconscious that we could no longer remember it.
Weapon of choice
I have already addressed this topic here. There's no point in me dwelling on this too much. His weapon is straight from Hades. We mark this point off as obvious.
Mark & clothes
Here's a slightly more interesting thing, I admit that I noticed it only later. The tattoo on Sitri's neck. We see that it is a pentagram assigned to Satan and Gehenna, but I want to point a little curiosity.
At one point, the Sitri's symbol on his neck and Leviathan's symbol in his eye were the same. Also, very distinctive - Levi's symbol on someone's neck.
The second non-obvious thing is his clothes. Sitri is the only noble of Gehenna wearing all black. Nobles from Hades also wear black. Does this refer to this? Not necessarily, because we know that Satan's closest commandos wear dark uniforms the same as him. Sitri as a noble and Satan's right-hand devil may combine these two features.
Some headcanons and rambling
The part where I tried to be objective and draw facts ends here. Now let me happily chatter on how I interpret his behavior
bUT FIRST, I still have some unused screenshots, and how can I miss such an opportunity? PB why did you create something so beautiful?
My aesthetic sense is satisfied~
So. Let's go to my ramble. This sweet creature has huge abandonment issues. He is intelligent, and even Ppyong is confused and explains that Sitri is usually really smart, but with us he goes crazy. Besides, you can see that he behaves quite normally around others (the only exception, he can sometimes become detached around Satan).
As for our name, he knows it, and he is aware that we are not Solomon. The famous words at the end of his H-scene. So why does he call us Solomon? Because he is unable to come to terms with his departure? The easiest excuse is that he misses him and projects him onto us. That Solomon never left them and those years never existed. That Sitri doesn't care about us, that he only really wants Solomon.
But I like to think of a slightly different version.
To Hades belong the orphans, to Gehenna the outcasts. And Sitri belongs to both. We don't know what he went through, we don't know what's going through his mind, but we see his behavior towards others. He is calm and perfectly controls his emotions even during his H-scene. He is smart and morbidly suspicious, what we see a lot. Finally, he must have everything under control, to such an extent that in some matters even Satan does not try to fight him (the most striking example is that he is the only one who gives Satan blood).
When he saw us, of course, he felt the familiar spirit of Solomon. But what he really liked was us. His emotions were out of control and it scared him. So he dealt with it the only way he knew how. He can't afford to trust again and be let down again, so he forced his true emotions that he felt towards us into the "it's just love for Solomon" box. Because he has already experienced mourning for Solomon and he can cope with it somehow, maybe not well, but enough to function on a daily basis. If he was rejected again, he wouldn't be able to cope. And he can't afford it.
He is Satan's henchman, prince of Hell and The Guardian of Gehenna. He can't show weakness. He can't break down. So the defending remnants of his sanity did what they could to maintain the fragile status quo.
Does he know what he is doing is wrong? Of course. Does he realize that he is hurting us? Of course. But he is one of the highest generals in a country at war, he has to deal with all the nobles, he has to support the king, he has to be ready to fight at any moment. And his Hades mentality makes him willing to sacrifice his happiness (and last crumbs of sanity) and our liking for him to protect his king and country.
Emotions cannot be controlled. But he tries nevertheless. If he didn't feel such strong emotions towards us, he wouldn't try to deny them. If someone is traumatized, they do not always know how to properly cope with it, and his mechanism is not healthy, it harms himself and us. But what else is he supposed to do? We know the approach in Gehenna. Only strength counts. Besides, he is the "responsible one" who would listen to him and help him? We? The moment we deny him, his psyche will collapse like a house of cards.
Maybe I'm exaggerating, overinterpreting, or it's just a running joke. But after how well-developed the characters are so far, I don't want to believe that his brain just turns off with the snap of his fingers.
After all this, I only have one question.
Sitri. Baby. Who hurt you?
#whb#what in hell is bad#whb sitri#woah I didn't expect it to be such a long talk#I really missed him#maybe I'm oversensitive because I'm a writer myself#I would really love to dig under his beautiful head and find out what he thinks#he has such potential to be a complex character and that's what makes him so fascinating to me#my delusion is as strong as his thats why we should kiss
