Some notes on some stuff
An update on creative pursuits:
I can now honestly admit that part of me never thought I'd be able to say this, BUT! Adore part 3 is now completely written. Let me be clear, at no point did I give up on hoping and wanting to finish it, but for a while in the past year it felt like an absolutely insurmountable task that I would never wrap my brain around. I want to give myself some time to sit with it, so it's not getting posted yet, but I will give a tentative, rough estimate of late March or early April for the first chapter. Surprise surprise, it's the longest instalment yet, at over 60k words.
Concerning binding and other transformative works:
I've had a few inquiries about binding Adore verse and I don't think I've answered most of them (sorry!), so I'll just say this:
I give blanket permission for anyone to create a binding, podfic, translation, or artwork of any of my stories. I don't even mind if you don't ask me first, as long as you tell me about it once you share it. In the case of bindings, I'd love to be sent a copy, if at all possible. In the case of any other works shared in online spaces, I'd just like for you to include a link back to the original work on AO3. And for translations, I'd prefer that it be kept on AO3 itself, because I really am not a fan of other fanfic hosting websites. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot me a DM, and don't be shocked if it takes me several weeks to respond, because that's just how I roll.
#what criteria do people even use to decide whether to agree to a translation of their fic?#i only speak english so it's not like i can judge how good you are at some other language#anyway blanket permission for podfics used to be a thing back in the livejournal days so here it is#also binding fics was definitely NOT a thing in my circles back then#but it would be rad to see it#ALSO I WROTE A 62k WORD STORY WHAT THE FUCK#i realise this is insignificant in a fandom where most fics are like over 100k#but for me that is a fucking miracle#is this too many conversational tags?#is that a millennial thing?#i talk too much

I brought myself to the edge of tears thinking about tumblr going away. I know I’m just tired and having a bad week (IT’S ONLY TUESDAY) but. Yeah.
#it’s just that this is my happy place#and fucking….bluesky is not a replacement#fandom is already too fragmented compared to the livejournal days#i’m so tired of how shitty the internet has become#erin vents

strong sad would thrive on tumblr if he were real. he'd be making 10k posts by accident every week but he'd probably lock them
#I would follow his blog. I'd say I'd be mutuals but I can't assume that for him#tbf he probably would've been popular on livejournal too#homestar runner

okay why is there a criminal lack of macdennis fanfiction.
they have been in a situationship since 2005.
and it is still going TODAY.
maybe they're all on like fanfiction.net or LJ or something, but only a couple thousand on ao3 is INSANE.
Macdennis writers please help us in these dark times

ok so ive never properly played genshin and don’t plan to but i know a bit about it’s lore and characters and i think it’s really neat. however i have thousands of hours on ffxiv. on that note please explain why graha and childe are similar. i only have very basic knowledge on childe and i gotta know
Fellow ffxiv enjoyer. <3
(anyone asking me about G'raha has a 100% chance of getting a wall of text and I'm not apologising for that. enjoy your wall of text)
I'm not entirely sure I'm not a case of a person with a hammer to whom everything resembles a nail, but I do think they are the same archetype.
Sweet characters who could have been perfect sidekicks (who still are perfect sidekicks) but listened to too many epic tales as kids and found themselves in a wrong place at a wrong time and now have to play a key role in some universe-changing story.
Both are defined mostly by their stubborness, they are not very suitable for the roles they've chosen and fail over and over again until they do it somewhat right (barely).
No matter how badass they look, their power is not their own, G'raha is a glorified technician of someone else's miracle and little else than a living key, Childe wields an art of old Khaenri'ah without fully understanding it. It's all borrowed from someone else who needed them to achieve a goal.
They do look badass, but mostly because they larp. I'm honestly not sure which one enjoys theatrics more.
Civilisations that created the magic they use specialised in perversion of the natural order of things. They try to use it in relatively noble ways and mostly hurt themselves but the flavour is there.
Both are unbelievably tragic and both somehow make their stories seem almost lighthearted. Complete absense of self-pity. I think that's what makes them both so charming, it's a rare trait.
Both have an incredible capacity for loyalty and love and an incredibly twisted view of what relationships look like. "I'll cross time and space for you, I'll die for you, I'll build a city for you, I'll live for you but please don't ask me to share my plans." "I'll sacrfice my own health and respect of my subordinates to keep my brother's happyness, probably my humanity too, but don't expect me to actually interact with him."
Both have something that looks like self-sacrificial tendencies bordering on suicidality while being, if we are honest, a self-serving trait (partially born out of low self-esteem but still self-serving). They want to live in an old myth and sacrificing oneself is a perfectly reasonable price for that.
Huge egos. And I mean Huge Egos. It's a bit less obvious in Graha's case but I know the type, you see guys like that in PhD programs a lot.
Huge dorks. Both of them.
Both are stuck somewhere between human and non-human and, hmm... their ability to remain human is the most astonishing quality of both. By all accounts, neither should have. They somehow did.
Both are incapable of lying to the point where a third of each fandom headcanons them as autistic. Both are somewhat all right with tricking people without technically lying (although Childe had more practice).
Both are secretive because no one would understand anyway.
FF XIV is a kinder story, so it's easy to overlook, but technically G'raha is a case of body horror, accepts the role of a villain for a while and hides from the player way too much. Hmmm... Where else have I seen it. Hmm. Oh right. That ginger guy from Genshin.
Minor things:
Both are little shits and enjoy annoying the hell out of people they dislike.
Abysmally bad fashion sense. There should be a name for this particular type and level of bad. I don't think I've seen this anywhere else.
And then there's the colour scheme. Red+black+white+blue and red+black+light grey+blue (it's an "anime magician" color profile, I think. black-red-white as alchemy colours + blue as pure magic/something elemental). Childe doesn't quite fit but still the combination is rare.
They way they talk. Dear gods. Who the hell talks like that.
Here's where the similarities end.
One is morally grey but ultimately a good guy (technically. I think the point of ShB was that Emet and G'raha are almost the same), another is a morally grey but still (kind of) a bad buy.
At every step of his story Graha is surrounded by people who love or at least appreciate him, Childe is pretty much on his own and surrounded by people who are either shitty or clueless.
G'raha is kind. Truly and astonishingly kind, in a doomed world he chooses to love everything he touches. Silly little priest of hope. Of all the things he has done this is the most wondrous, I think. Not the time travel, not the city he founded, just being able to remain kind after everything that happened to him.
Childe is... well, Childe. I think he is a deeply decent person (to the point of having a visceral distaste for any kind of unfairness) and he's idealistic but he's indifferent more than he is kind. Empathy usually develops only when someone has shown the person empathy first and, as far as we know, he didn't have much of that in his life.
Also G'raha builds things. Childe breaks things. Childe breaks pretty much everything he touches.
One is an archeologist and a mage and another is a warrior.
I think these differences are caused mostly by the settings they were put into. Childe raised in Sharlayan would have been a very different person. G'raha trained by a voidsent and shipped off to Garlean military would look very much like Childe.
G'raha also has a beautiful character development arc. I love his ShB role. He has this huge ego in the raids and is insufferable and then we see an older and wiser him with a bunch of actual achievements and a bad case of impostor syndrome (trying to do anything real always humbles a person, we all know that real world is held together by sticks and scotch tape. honestly, this change alone is beautiful). And he gets to be an actual hero when he abandons all hope to be Important and resigns to die as a nameless villain if it saves everyone and spares his loved ones from heartbreak.
Childe's character development is yet to happen and I'm not hoping for much but we'll see.
The only difference that definitely isn't created by setting is that G'raha is naturally manipulative. In a kind-hearted way and mostly for the sake of better larp but he isn't that straightforward. Childe is spectacularly blunt for all his mysteriousness.
As a bonus, they both compare main characters to stars, but in completely different ways.
"No doubt your heroism will be the star by which I chart my course," says G'raha to the WoL.
Childe mentions the morning star, which is, of course, pretty and a good companion to a lonely traveler, but also it's not a celestial body you can chart your course by.
It's a guy whose signature weapon is called "Polar Star" and his first artifact set was full of nautical themes, so I think he fully understands what he's saying. "You are my friend but I won't change anything in my life for you."
So I don't think his story will be anything like G'raha's, his life took a different turn very long ago. I do think they used to be similar as kids, bookish boys who dreamed of adventure and being special. So it's fun to compare.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. <3
#honestly I think it's mostly involvement in deep lore and the lack of self-pity#everything else just snowballs from it#I refuse to be contained#the world must know everything about g'raha#he's the only character who has a personal tag in my old livejournal blog#even childe doesn't#even dragon age morrigan#g'raha tia#eternal wind#ff xiv#childe#tartaglia#rinn talks to people#one would think that the closest ffxiv parallel to childe would be zenos#another blood knight#and in a sense he is#but also not really#zenos raised in sharlayan would still be zenos#but also maybe I'm overthinking and reading into childe's character too much#I hope not#I want a good story for him

sometimes i check the bios of people i follow out of boredom/curiosity and every now and then I'll get a punch in the face of a reminder how i was already posting fic and fandom blogging on the Internet before some of you were even born and it blows my geriatric mind tbh. what do you MEAN you were born in 2004 and you're 20 years old?? 2004 was only last year?? 🥲

What are your favorite things/takes about fanfiction? (suggestions for a talkshow!!) Please help
my friend and I are starting a talk show on our college radio station about fanfiction.
we, of course, are lovers of fanfiction and fandom culture, but we’ve been having a hard time coming up with topics because…. we have such different tastes!
I grew up on here and scrolling through ff.net before i discovered ao3, i was a childhood superwholock fan and watched a lot of anime. more recently I am a huge fan of star trek and have been reading a lot of k/s. i never read xReaders or things with celebrities. (no hate of course, i just am drawn to transformative works with fictional characters) (mainly wlw mlm and gen)
my co-host on the other hand grew up reading things like Justin bieber gets ariana grande pregnant xreaders. i think she reads more things with celebrities and either het or lesbian ships.
like she was reading draco/hermione and i was reading drarry in middle school. there’s a link there but it is rife with tension.
honestly it’s like being introduced to a whole new world of fandom! but we kinda have no common experiences. but i feel like this combo gives us the ability to cover a lot of ground.
anyway! if you were to have or listen to a talk show about fanfiction what would you want to talk about? we are working on a syllabus so please comment/repost with your suggestions!!!
#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#fandom#talkshow#college radio#ffnet#wattpad#sorry but it must be mentioned#livejournal#too#suggestion box#klance#star trek#supernatural#harry potter#homestuck#ok i’m lying i haven’t read homestuck#good omens#justin bieber#ariana grande#itwv#i’m just gonna tag a bunch of fandoms#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv#otp s&e notes#hetalia#the hetalia fandom actually haunts me to this day#what else do people write fanfiction about?#a/b/o

i've decided i want to start journaling again (for the brain and against the doom scrolling) and since my printer isn't working all i had to decorate were old photo prints from way back and... it's unhinged, i know, but I kind of like it 🥰
#stuff 24#i'm sure someone on livejournal made those first two edits#that second image of ian is one of my favourite photos ever taken btw#not of him - just in general#hignfy#when i was 17 i had a journal with hignfy pics in it too#i am the same girl i am the same girl i am the same girl

Look OTP shipping is my wheelhouse, but now that I've found the Lucifer discord, I will break out the multi-shipping, secondary shipping, and crack shipping to get more femslash in this fandom 😩 I cannot let this show be so damn het!
#Someone just brainstormed Eve/Candy and my heart is screaming NO IT'S MAZE/EVE 😭#but my brain is like 'You love Candy too though and you cannot afford OTPs when all you're given is crumbs'#Remember crack-shipping Amber? Remember reading out of pure curiosity on LiveJournal?#That's how you read your first femslash fic ever!!! EMBRACE THE CURIOSITY AGAIN!#(That first one was Rose/Reinette Doctor Who fic btw)#(and it made me think 'hmmm maybe I don't hate all slash fic. Maybe I just don't like male slash fic')#(and then not really think about it again because femslash fic never crossed my paths naturally until I sought it out in Warehouse 13)#(Well Community because we wrote all the study hall crack ships but I wasn't into Britta which limited my options 😂)
