#just like to play and write stories

I came here for the silly haha doodles, but I've stayed for the absolutely blazing commentary in the tags. Your analysis of this story is so so so good! Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this!

I am just a silly little comics blog. I am not hiding anything in the tags, no way. Never.

not to complain about the show again but genuinely I think people should be WAY more pissed off that s2 cast an abled actor as a character with Down syndrome - particularly a character whose entire arc and narrative presence is focused on the fact that he has Down syndrome and how Percy has internalized ableism and how Percy unravels that (and also chewing out Annabeth for her ableism).

Like. Tyson has down syndrome. This is a very core part of his character, because like I've said before: the entirety of the first series is centered around and hinges on disabled stories and themes. If you are having an abled actor cast as Tyson you have already failed step one. Cause either you are actively erasing Tyson having Down syndrome or you are having an abled actor try to portray Down syndrome and neither of those things are okay.

there is something interesting about the core conflict at all of the skaldova pcs being this idea of shame, with Welly clinging to rituals and tradition out of the shame of her own natural desires, zudrick hiding the mistakes one can plainly see littered across his body under literal armor, and boggy lying about what actually happened to the buds. And it’s like, they don’t necessarily exonerate each other of the shame, but more so provide each other with the possible avenues in which they could exonerate themselves

So uh. How about that time skip huh. (Corvus composing and performing the best track in the show was so hot of him btw if you care)

they should've hired me to write & direct a strange and esoteric minecraft movie about the unnerving loneliness and fear that comes from early game minecraft and while you master solo survival you become an excellent builder with a wealth of resources saved away. Importantly there comes a tonal shift once you like discover the joys of multiplayer and building something with others- again contrasted with the eventual late game like High after you've got all your diamonds and enchanted armor and you're so powerful nothing scares you and you just mine and craft and build and kill endlessly traveling further and filling your huge storage room and you can feel people playing the game less and less and despite being so powerful the world feels more and more empty in a strangely anxiety inducing way, no matter how much you build, and you try to figure out how to get people interested again, the deep dark, the vast wilderness, dark mansions, the nether, you conquer it all, with minimal companionship, and then alone. then you find an End Portal and it clicks. hype is renewed as you all rally around Something- you start to work towards this one goal again and in the end its a huge battle obviously and you get your loot and your elytra and as you fly over the vast kingdom you've created while your friends return to a small base town you built together and you stand atop a faraway mountain and say. huh. the world gets quiet again and in a moment of contemplation you realize minecraft was in fact about the friends we made along the way. so you return to the small town, and use your vast skill and resources to make the base town something really special for your friends and help each other with their projects, but life is slower since they're playing less. new people join and leave, its quiet, then busy, then quiet. but you still build, for them and for yourself, knowing that they may or may not return, but that what you built together will remain regardless. and also herobrine is just like in the background of the shots sometimes.

I don't wanna tell my entire life story to explain myself because I shouldn't.

- Gurathin and Murderbot are fascinating, layered characters. They have an excellent dynamic and lots of potential to play with, both in the book!verse and in tv!verse.

- Canon is canon, fandom is a kitchen. You take what you're seeing, sift for crumbs, and see what you can cook with them. It's not the official banquet: It's themed snacks to share with pals.

- Can people stop invading other's inboxes to give "gentle reminders". Normally I'd block and move on but I just saw someone spoil the second book to another person just to tell them they shouldn't ship the ship. This is not alright.

Anyway and before I get a dozen angry anons, fuck it: I'm an a-spec enby, my place within the labels keeps flowing through time, and you wouldn't imagine how kinky ace people can be. Not just me, but in general. I strongly dislike having to state this as a foothold.

Yeah the ship will never be canon. And? I was writing fanfic in the early aughts. I'll be having fun over here :33

this is just kinda an amalgamation of thoughts with no point to it but. i've been thinking about how the show would explain it if they had buck move on to another love interest next season. and idk how to word this correctly but the thought i'm having is like... if the only given explanation for bucktommy being over and the relationship not being the right one for buck is that tommy was his first boyfriend, for me what that's doing is legitimising the "i'm not your last, i'm your first" which was a statement born out of insecurity! to me the point of that should be tommy was wrong. i need him to be proved wrong.

otherwise... so the moral of the story here is that tommy was right and that buck doesn't understand his own feeings? that he mistook the excitement of the "novelty" of having a boyfriend for having real feelings for someone? that tommy was just a starter boyfriend and buck needs to "try out" other people (because his relationships with women don't count, obviously). biphobia? on the show that won't even let buck say the word bisexual? surprise! but not just that, i'm kinda sick of the whole treating buck like he's not an almost 34 year old man and is instead an impulsive teenage boy who we can't possibly take seriously when he says something about how he's feeling.

ALSO we know that abby was buck's most transformative relationship up until tommy. that i don't disagree with, buck said it himself. but i don't think we should look at it as tommy is only his most transformative relationship because he's a man and he made buck realise he liked men. is that part of it? definitely. but i don't think this was comparable to his other relationships in so many ways. Buck was, as he said, just so comfortable with him. he let tommy look after him and was never made to feel guilty about it. he wanted to move in with him, and while perhaps it was impulsive it wasn't like with taylor where he asked her to avoid telling her something else. he even brought up marriage unprompted! whereas the whole idea of getting engaged to taylor weirded him out. i don't want this relationship to be reduced to the fact that tommy was a man or that he helped buck "figure himself out".

personally i would like it to be made clear that tommy said what he said purely because he was scared of getting his heart broken, not because there was any truth to it. i can't have this end with buck going "yeah, guess he was right". the important points are, 1, he's not his first, and 2, it doesn't fucking matter if he was. I'm not even saying he HAS to end up with tommy. do i think he should? yes. do i think it would be a massively wasted opportunity and a stupid decision if not? yes. but the point is that if he decides to move on all of a sudden after holding on to these feelings for so long, i want to be given a better reason it couldn't work out 🤷‍♂️

(oh, and just adding that as a tommy enjoyer, i don't like leaving him believing that he isn't good enough, and then having that confirmed when buck moves on with someone "better". but whatever.)

Aftg Hunger Games au with Jean as Katniss because in the end Elodie dies anyway

[waywardsalt]

with the bit abt noelle mentioning berdly saying she should get a crt, berdly being a gamer and the thing abt crts being good for particular games, i could see later down the line susie mentioning offhandedly around berdly that she helped re-home kris's old crt tenna to mettaton and him immediately trying to get her help trying to convince mettaton to let them hang out and play games on it at some point. maybe if mettaton's got the confidence for it i bet it'd be interesting for berdly to drag susie, noelle, and kris over to play games on that crt for a little bit

[aiscapades]

if the creators of these games you love so much can write and draw their own shit, SO CAN YOU.

get involved with others in your community and make shit together. stop with gen ai. there is no excuse.

Im bad at writing coherent things but I need to get this concept out of my head so it stops haunting me.

I had this idea for another fic called The Undine Colony.

The setting would be the second colony by the sea- started when Sol is in their forties- the story taking place an unknown time after that.

It starts with the alarm that the original Stratospheric colony has gone silent. Collapsed all its networks, killed every signal, spirited away every colonist. As it still houses much of humanity's most advanced tech, like the servers for their holonet, essential parts of the power grid, this is an issue of extreme urgency.

And who better to turn to in their moment of need than Sol? So here they are suddenly jolted into wakefulness.

Their first thought is that they cannot feel their body. They quickly learn they are not in fact the real Sol, but only an AI copy made of their brain-scan from many decades ago. Though they cannot access the future vision as an ephemeral bit of software, they have superior computing on their side.

The gist of it being that AI Sol is now in charge of the 2nd colony to replace the hole left by Congruence, all while being tasked to figure out whats happening to the og colony & trying to reestablish contact. Aaand trying to piece together their own existence on top of it. Trying to find out what even happened to the original Sol. If they have something to do with this blackout.

So yeah, itd be slowly unfurling that mystery, piecing together the gap in their memory & issues of personhood.
