I think i just need to express that the culture surrounding QPRs right now made me think that i couldn't have strong bonds with my friends. Society told me i cant have strong bonds with friends because that was only for romantic relationships. Then i went into aro spaces and this idea was reinforced using QPRs instead of romantic relationships. it was "You can still have strong bonds with people without romance! It can just be a QPR instead!" "QPRs are MORE than friendship so you can have STRONGER BONDS than you would with friends."

it made me think that the relationships i wanted with my friends HAD to be something other than friendship for it to be as strong as i wanted. If i wanted to be the first person in someones life i had to enter some sort of committed relationship. if I wanted someone to care about me as strongly as i did them then it would have to be a relationship that was "more" than friendship.

I thought I wanted a QPR because i was told the only way to get that care and security that I wanted was to enter into a relationship that was "more" than friendship. because friends didn't care that much. because friends didn't live together their entire lives. because friends were never the priority relationship wise. and it took me years to realize that i didn't want any partnership and i shouldn't have to be in one to want these things from a friend. these things CAN be something friends can do. but i found that out on my own. because the aro community kept saying "you want a QPR" when i just wanted a friend who finally saw me as a priority in their life.

i think when cherik fuck charles just has to control himself so much that he reaches the point where he gets almost no pleasure because of the efforts and erik just doesn't see that for a long time bc charles is very good at simulating whatever it is so they fuck and erik is happy and cherles is close to tears every time because yeah he had sex but he spent all time of it struggling to remain control of his abilities and he didn't have orgasm and he just doesn't know what to do because he's afraid to tell erik and he's afraid to stop doing that because he thinks he'd project his thoughts and feeling all over the mansion and he's afraid to go on the way he does because it's exhausting and kinda awful

sorry im in the mood for angsty thoughts about charles's telepathy sorry

you jsut gon say this in fronta my salad. ..,

shout out to the time I logged on hi3 and opened the chibi dorm to see Sakura stuck behind the TV and Kallen just watching.

she was really happy about it though. she even had one of the Honkai Block gifts.

kept saying this behind there too and even Himeko joined in watching. I know I didn't leave her there so idk how she did it.

so I had a ton of stuff that I made that I just... didn't post??? like I've sent them to a few people privately but never posted them legit??? this post right now has been in my drafts since before i moved home and I think before I even knew I would. I tried posting it before but it bugged out so just I didn't even though I remade it.

I have waaayyy more stuff now so like I think it's time to dropp it all innn?

I think I ended up mostly making videos for a long while as I found that really fun. I don't know about posting them yet. idk if I should put them on YouTube first or go directly to Tumblr.

I love them dearly tho and wanna share at some point.

there's a few bonus things I did add to that post behind the page break that I still find pretty funny. plus vin asked this and so it will be so.

Problematic muses aren't just "sexy villains who push boundaries a little in a flirty way".

They can reflect ideologies the mun doesn't have, like being sexist / homophobic / abusive, or hold an extreme or radical political view

They're not just muses who have risky kinks or come from controversial fandoms.

You have the right to decide if you don't want to roleplay with a muse whose personality or story triggers you, but you have to let the mun play them as they wish because its their character and they don't have to make them digestible for you.

i miss posting and making and engaging with ieytd content but I will be honest sometimes it feels alienating. as a lesbian.

hi can i just say that while I haven't been there to read your HK fanfiction, seeing you update nailmaster's folly after so long makes me... hopeful? In the 'I also have wips I haven't touched in years but there might still be space for them one day if I get the gumption' sort of way? so, while I'm not really going to be reading it as I know nothing about HK: thanks for updating nailmaster's folly, so cool to see it.

Hey you're very welcome! I'm very stoked it's giving you hope for your future projects. That's a hope you deserve to have.

Honestly, one of the most important things about art that I wish everyone would, at some point, absorb into their creative process, is that everything is allowed to rest. Sometimes the only thing that will "fix" a problem piece is time and distance, and that time and distance is allowed to be long. You're allowed to drop something for 4 years and randomly decide it's worth your time again, and you should be able to have that process without guilt or judgement.

Not to get on the "internet culture is evil" soapbox, but, the idea of the "grind", that every project must be done at once, from start to finish, in a logical order that others can consume and follow from point A to point Z, is untenable for individual creators, especially creators that are doing it just for fun. You aren't a machine. You aren't a writing board churning out a podcast, movie, tv series, comic book set, etc. You're a person finding joy in making art about something you love. The process can be messy. It can make no sense. It can involve long breaks, or deciding you're done with something entirely. Without guilt or malice, you are allowed to wash your hands of something and then decide to get them dirty with it again when you can stand the texture.

I understand there's sadness in thinking you can't finish something, in not knowing how to fix it immediately, or not being able to conjure the motivation to put to physicality something that makes so much sense in your head. Be disappointed, and grieve it, if you must. But never think it was time wasted. No one has ever walked out of their house in the morning without, at some point or another, looking at the world to see what was there. You're allowed to start a project, walk down the road with it, and realize you'd rather look around.

You can always come back.

uuhhh in other new that lmk s5 trailer dropped and people are very

mixed

for context the new season is being partly animated by wildbrain i think. flying bark is still working on the show but probably due to all the other projects they've been working on like the atla movie the animation is off.

its understandable that people are upset. lmk has some of the most consistently dynamic and lively animation ive ever seen, and going from that to ok animation kinda sucks. as a culmination of a lot of what the series has been building up to people were inevitably going to be disappointed

at the same time people shouldnt harass animators. like ever. no amount of trying to petition or anything will change the s5, people are just trying to do their job and theres no probably no major changing to the finished product by now. and theres still a lot of that lmk charm in there, and we haven't even seen the whole season yet to judge it. flying bark is still working on it, and even if the animation never reaches the peak of the old seasons it still has the same writers so at least the writing has the chance to live up old standards. idk though we'll just have to wait and see

"Why do you read x reader? Isn't it a bit weird?"

My brother in Christ I'm already on my 20s do you think I have a chance to live a childhoods to lovers? High-school sweethearts? Meet the love of my life by age 15? NO! I DON'T!

"Oh but you're still young you can live x thing."

Have you seen how relationships are nowadays? How much effort, time, money, patience and SEARCH it takes to find someone worth the try? I'm traumatized! No way in hell I'm trynna put myself on that fish market while I try to build a career.

hm. yknow, if riz was to be in a relationship it’d have to be a poly one, because a monogamous one would be doing the pairing-off-esque thing that he deeply doesn’t want to happen. if you presume he has a ‘favorite friend’ you’re falling into the same trap he is by presuming that some friends mean more (and he presumes there is always the least favorite friend). it feels like this kind of relationship hierarchy is what he doesn’t like, because he feels like he’s always going to be the odd one out and the one that everyone’s leaving

[twilights-800-cats]

one of the things that came up while writing tb sunset was, of course, the infamous fox traps (that somehow litter the lake territories but are never brought up again afterward).

i have... learned a lot about fox traps

i have also learned that there are multiple types of fox traps, and i made a funny observation for the purposes of both series (below the cut for vague descriptions of animal violence)

tldr there are many types of traps and there were probably multiple types strewn about the forests around the lake; the erins just chose the wrong one for the purpose of berrynose

the one described in the original sunset seems to be the hook-and-eye loop trap, one that's meant to catch an animal's limb/neck and is made of thin wire looped like a noose

obviously, that one makes sense to be the one that firestar got caught in - but it doesn't make sense for berrynose!

in fact, the one that makes the most sense for berrynose is the butterfly snare, which lays on the ground and acts more like a very aggressive hairclip rather than a noose. the hook-and-eye trap is designed to be tugged closed by a limb or movement, and a kitten getting their tail caught in one makes very little sense because of how thin and mobile their tails are!

i mean, it makes very little sense for a kitten's tail to cause enough pressure to snap a butterfly snare, too - they're meant for doing terrible things to legs - but it makes more sense than a kitten somehow getting their little tail into a wire trap and pulling it hard enough for it to be caught

Something that I feel a lot of fans forget when they get angry at Phoebe for refusing to help Cole in the Wasteland is that he's not just asking her to save him. Despite saying that the Source is gone, he very intentionally still asks her to be evil. That's not me being dramatic or anything either because that's very explicitly canon. Phoebe, even as a Charmed One, doesn't have the power to resurrect Cole. As a good witch, she just physically (magically?) can't; it's not something within her abilities. (Obviously, otherwise, she and Piper would've resurrected Prue.)

The only method that Cole gives her to save him is the Grimoire. Y'know, the book that requires you to be evil to even touch it, much less use it. That's not something that you can trick; she would have to become evil again to even use it. He knows that, even acknowledges it to Phoebe in the Wasteland. She literally tells him that she won't use dark magic again, acknowledging it as evil. Cole isn't like oh, forgot about that! No, he asks her if she wouldn't use it "even for us." He knows what that would entail and what that would require Phoebe to do.

That isn't even getting into what the spell itself would require. This part, admittedly, is speculation but with the Grimoire being the Grimoire and resurrection like that being so rare and difficult, I have a hard time believing that the spell or ritual wouldn't have involved killing innocents. (Personal headcanon is that the spell calls for at least one heart personally. We see with Tuatha in That Old Black Magic that she uses a human heart to disempower witches. Something much worse would logically be required for a resurrection spell.) Just asking Phoebe even retrieve the Grimoire, much less use it, is bad.

As for later, she is still planning on giving up her powers, so it's not as if she'll be able to discover some other method to save him. She won't be Charmed anymore. And while, yes, the Angel of Destiny gives them some time to make this decision, there's still a time limit on how long they can take this option. Maybe with more time, Phoebe would have been able to figure out a way to save him without the Grimoire. However, it'd have required her to stay chained to a destiny that she no longer wanted and give up the future that she, and Piper, wanted: one free of magic, pain, loss, etc. So, yeah, she simply doesn't have the time, resources, or ability to save him without the Grimoire (which still isn't an option anyways). And by the time that she and Piper decide that they want to remain as witches, Cole has already freed himself, so it's a moot point anyways.

I mean, genuinely, in this situation, what did people want Phoebe to do? She didn't refuse to save Cole; she literally could not save him from the Wasteland. (And this is without delving into the argument about if Phoebe should save him or is obligated to save Cole anyways, which is a completely different question involving their relationship, choices, and morality.)
