Zutaras are really the original self-insert, "we understand the story soooooo much better than everybody else" girlies and they just never moved on
#anti zutara#no offense to anyone who ships it and follows me but I'm so over the shipping wars of this show that aired almost 20 years ago 😭#at some point you guys are gonna need to hang it up cause there's a sequel series and these people are married with children like...#we get it if you were Katara you would've chosen Zuko but guess what?! you aren't and need to stop projecting onto her#the pretending to care about Katara is what really gets me cause she's never even implied to have romantic feelings for him#or vice-versa + it ignores her anger towards him and how long it took her to forgive him + rightfully so#criticizing the writing for Kataang is one thing but turning around and shipping Zutara while doing so is crazy work#ship it if you want but please stop pretending it makes more sense when both Zuko and Katara have their own separate romances 😭#love how people have to age Aang down + infantilize him and erase Mai to make it work but sure it's the better option#stop erasing Katara's arc and development just to claim that Aang brings her down when she's been a bad-ass since season 1#reducing her arc to that ONE moment with Zuko and ignoring all of her other development just to prop up a ship is nasty#Katara isn't a reward for Aang and she sure as hell isn't one for Zuko stop belittling her like that#if y'all didn't watch ATLA when you were 12 and think Zuko was cute this ship wouldn't even exist#thinking about that post that said the writers /pandered to dudebros/ like we all weren't children the delusion is crazy sdfssdfsdfsd#also seeing AANG of all characters getting whacked for a ship...please get a life and stay away from him#antizutara

the fact that eddie and maddie have never interacted outside a group setting is so funny actually. you cannot tell me those two wouldnt get on like a house on fire. i fear the day we get a solo maddie and eddie scene is the day we get buddie canon
#like. those two have had such similar experiences#being forced to grow up at a young age#complicated feelings about their dead spouses (ik d**g was VERY different from shannon but im just going off what maddie canonically said)#struggles with how good of parents they are#running away from their families as a way of doing what is “best” for the family#like. they have so many shared experiences#their lives have been running parallel and theyve never really intersected and realized just how similar they are#but if maddie han was alone in a room with eddie shed get him to confess his feelings for buck in like 15 minutes flat#hed ask about jee and maddie would be like. shes great. shes having a wonderful day with her dad and uncle buck.#and eddie would be all yeah. chris is probably having the time of his life with buck and uncle chim. and jee ofc chris adores that kid.#uncle chim? shed saying stirring her coffee#and eddie would be like yeah??? hes bucks brother in law? doesnt that make him chris's uncle?#oh. i didnt realize. so buck is like a parent to chris?#well yeah bucks been there since. since we met him. you know how he is. bucks great. always shows up. he shows up the way a parent should s#hmmmmm. yeah. i thought so too eddie. he really has a soft spot for chris. ive never seen him like that for any other kid.#hes like that for jee. eddie says#its different. buck is a great uncle and loves jee but hes her uncle. hes not attending pta meetings for her or signing her up for camps#though. maddie laughs. he probably would if we asked him to.#yeah. eddie would agree with a fond smile. and maddie would narrow her eyes at the dreamy little look on eddies face as he stirs in creamer#so. if buck is like a parent to chris. what does that make him to you?#and eddie would blink and be like. well. hes. hes buck. you know. hes my best friend.#yeah. but the person i want to attend pta meetings with and to look through summer camp posting with is howie. my husband. my best friend#and eddie would just. well thats. thats different. you guys are married. ofc you do that stuff together#we were doing this stuff together before we got married. we had a life together. a family together before we were married#shed take one look at eddies wide eyes and be like. someone once told howie that if he loved me he should tell me and it was the best piece#of advice anyone couldve given us when we were dancing around each other. so im passing your advice back to you. if you love him tell him#and then yayyyyyy we get eddie choosing buck and buck being chosen and yay everyone is happy and everyone wins#(especially maddie since she doesnt have to deal with these oblivious idiots anymore)#me thinks

pisses me off so bad when people reduce gale’s “obsession” w mystra w “shut up abt your ex, off to the sofa w you”. 😭😭😭 like if its a joke, i guess i cant stop you even if it isnt that funny, but when theyre serious abt hating gale/his romance arc bc he mentions mystra too often… like bro, mystra was his entire life for anywhere from 13-30+ years of his existence. gale’s whole value as a person became defined by his skill in magic. his relationship w mystra dominated every aspect of his life, his career, his romantic/sexual life, literally everything. his whole purpose was to serve mystra. he had literally less than a handful of other deep real relationships that were with anyone Other than mystra. his whole self-worth was so shaped by only having being archwizard, a chosen of mystra, to offer, that when mystra tells him to kill himself, he has to be talked out of it over the course of a whole act of the game. bc hes never known how to be a worthwhile person outside of his relationship w mystra. so like, can you blame him for talking abt mystra a lot???? theres no way to avoid how deeply mystra sculpted gale’s whole psyche. it would be flat out dishonesty for gale to pretend otherwise. everyone is shaped by their past, gale was shaped by his relationship w mystra, that’s just how people work and theres no point in trying to escape it
#june speaks#and i think its that amatonormative idea that a romantic partner has to be the One True Only Person Ever That Matters. you want to be gale’s#partner but pretend that he never had this whole other relationship bc they think it challenges the strength of the love that gale has for#tav. or anyone else but mystra for that matter. like she took the spot of his first true love and now if he ever dares mention that he cared#abt her once then it means he doesnt really care abt tav. but loving another person doesnt mean that this current romantic love is any less.#love doesnt have to be confined to only one person for your entire life. loving multiple people across life just means you experienced the#way love changes you multiple times. again it doesnt mean the love you have now for someone new is any less true and devoted and heartfelt.#and this is even just talking abt how gale loved mystra for so long before they broke up. when you get into the way mystra groomed gale to#live his whole existence in service of only her from such a young age making him feel like being her chosen was the only way he would be#loved… OF COURSE HE THINKS ABT HER A LOT!!! SHE LITERALLY GROOMED HIM!!!! WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT???#bg3

I’m sorry if this ask bothers you, I’m just curious because I remember you saying that the Choices sequel would end before/after Sirius’ death and wouldn’t have any remad0ra, is that correct? Again, I’m sorry if this bothers you I’m not trying to police your writing or anything, just making sure! I hope you have a wonderful day!!
The ending may have changed but there is still no remadora!
#i just don't like it im sorry#i don't want to try to make it work#i feel like it is bad for both those characters and i love them both individually SO#but tonks will be there!#and her and remus will have A relationship#of some kind#chosen#soph rambles

me: this is going to be my nice, fun, lighthearted fandom where I just write lots of low-pressure goofy shit, I really need that right now me: me: me: me: trips and lands 1100 words into a fic about Laura, "Worst!"Logan, and the seven million psychological complexes that Laura's original Logan by all logic would have left her with
#deadpool and wolverine#I loved logan the movie and I loved logan the character in it#but I rewatched for this purpose and jesus christ that man did not do well by her#he might've if he'd had time. but he didn't.#and I greatly enjoyed deadpool and wolverine but it took a goddamn steamroller to her in the interests of its logan's character development#and I Just Think it's much more interesting if we let her have an incredibly complicated relationship with both of them#and if we take an actual look at the fact that 'worst'!logan opens up to her faster in ten minutes than her logan does in two hundred miles#because if we take that as a deliberate point of divergence between logans - it makes sense#he tells us in the same scene that his life is defined by losing people before he ever admitted he cared about them#and that the second is a profound and intrinsic part of the regret#so let's get into that!#let's bounce that off a laura who remembers that the man who saved her life also tried time and again to leave her behind#that he told her to her face she ruined his life#that she accused him of not caring about her and he didn't say a damn word#that he came to save her life and died doing it but he was suicidal when he did it and she damn well knew it#she is not! going! to have simple or straightforward emotions about this man!#she has every reason to be furious and guilty and to grieve not only his death but also everything he never chose to be to her#and everything he might never have chosen to be even if he lived#every reason to feel rejected and abandoned by his life and by his death alike#every reason to wonder if he ever would have let her call him her father if he had the blood in him to argue#every reason to wonder how much she needs to do to count as 'not what they made you'#every reason to struggle to meet the half-spoken standards of a ghost#does she know how much of that was his own self-loathing? does she know he was asking her to do what he never thought he managed?#is it better or worse if she doesn't?#and hell. let's just throw in there what it says that the 'worst' version of logan is more willing to meet her in this than his better self#what exactly are we valuing when we decide that the washed-up alcoholic is the worst thing this man can be?#....so you see why the fic just. happened. since I cannot shut up about this#but by god it's being a bastard to write#much much more difficult than the ''hi wade!' [yukio waves across a kink dungeon and deals wade 2d6 psychic damage]' WIP

not until i started reading restoration and post-restoration plays written by women like aphra behn and susanna centlivre did i fully understand romantic comedy on another level. the male love interests are just built better. like as much as i love a midsummer night's dream, if i were hermia i would never risk death or a forced life in a nunnery for lysander. no. hell no. he's just ken. but if i were miranda would i risk my thirty-thousand-pound inheritance to elope with sir george airy? if i were leticia would i contemplate leaving behind my country and my hated old husband i was tricked into marrying the second i learn that belmour is still alive, to live with his banished ass in exile? hm. let me thin—yes.
#text post#tales from diana#aphra behn#susanna centlivre#the busybody#the lucky chance#i think i enjoyed the men and the relationships in the lucky chance moreso than i did in the rover or the feigned courtesans#(the other two behn plays i've read so far)#i loved her characterizations of the women in both plays of course but i didn't quite feel myself in their situations#it was also quite more reliant on the same character archetypes#the modest one ends up with the selfless lovesick hero and the more innocent libertine one ends up w a reformed dashing rake.#and i'm ok w that right? like those tropes make sense. the plots and the witty dialogue are still enjoyable#but i find the lucky chance really upped the stake of the melodrama as well as the foils between the two main couples were more complex#you have one very melodramatic honest couple (leticia and belmour) who narrowly escape ruinous disaster#and then lawfully make their love official (most luckily BEFORE leticia has slept w fainwould and consummated the marriage)#and then you have the much more complicated and comical relationship between mr. gayman and julia fulbank#lady fulbank's marriage is done and done. no averting it. but she unabashedly carries a torch for him#she admits as much to her husband that she still loves him and she doesn't really care who knows#but she wants to be honorable to her marriage bc that's the lot she's chosen in life—his material comfort#and she does use that to the benefit of gayman when he's in financial ruin.#but her two stupid men. her lover and her husband. more or less work together to make her work against her own honorable wishes#she's compromised. and she SORT of gets what she really wants. she willfully foreswears the bed of her gross husband forever#and it's ambiguous whether or not she chooses to cuck him for gayman while he's still alive or what#very interesting ambiguous ending and i've never seen another character quite like lady fulbank in literature from that time#the lucky chance is worthy of far more study and interest than it's received. it's so funny and incredibly challenging#also. men don't hide in treasure chests enough anymore#more plots where men hide in treasure chests. thank you cymbeline by shakespeare and the lucky chance by behn. you guys got it

Why did law girl want to become a lawyer?? Any specific lore, or was it something she just wanted to do?
hi !! there's not much to it. she is someone who enjoys intellectual stimulation a lot, who also has a deep desire to feel needed (it ties into her need for power and control) and who also is a bit of an asshole. that naturally leads to studying law! besides, she finds it fascinating because she is that fun of a person!
#law girl also enjoys knowing she has the power to twist narratives with just a few well-chosen words#the truth is whatever she wants it to be and she finds that to be beautiful#and maaaaayyyybeeeeeee she likes helping people a bit. but mostly because it makes her feel good about herself#thank u for the question !!! i love talking about her#law girl#ask

i finished watching the uglies adaptation and it was mid...... except casting for shay was so good and i appreciate the racial diversity in casting. Idk I feel like adaptations should only exist if they have a vision for interpreting the source material but i am so so biased bc i wanted a sapphic interpretation of tally and shay
#im gonna get booed off the internet bc my favorite wlw interpreted relationships are written by men#scott westerfeld just understands women they all feel real and genuine which is no small feat in a book about getting plastic surgery#an inferior writer would've made it pointless fluff... but he's so cool#he has things to say and that's what makes the book interesting#tally and shay are not a HEALTHY relationship but i think shay being driven to the brink by her hurt over tally choosing guys over her#is given more depth when it's because she loved tally specifically sapphic pain of a man being chosen over u#actually though writing it out.... idk female friendship being the focus is cool too. maybe i'm pushing the romance agenda#when i say shay is in love with tally though you must understand#i do not mean she is attracted to tally and wants to kiss her i mean she wants to be the priority in tally's life and build a life 2gether#and looks out for her and prioritizes tally...... this is very vague ok i should shut up#SOMETHING'S GOING ON BETWEEN THEM IDK HOW TO SAY IT. maybe they do want to kiss#sometimes i get passionate over a ship and then i step back and go oh well I am grey romantic so maybe i should shut up about romance#uglies#tally youngblood

I’m struggling deciding on Audra’s backstory because all I can think about is Audra being eaten out by Leona while they’re both sprawled over and covered in blood of the ripped apart corpse of Leona’s husband that she had convinced Audra to kill so they could be together
#I’m at war in my head between 2 ideas on how Audra got turned into an vampire#but regardless of what I finally decide on Audra will be doomed from the very beginning#every action she has ever chosen in her life has been to please/help someone else#she has never been allowed to be selfish#even with Leona she is forced to make the decision to murder her husband because she knows it will please Leona#Audra would have found a different way for them to be together where no one had to get hurt but for Leona this is the ONLY way#Leona craves power and control#even in the moment where her mind is hazed by lust after watching Audra tear apart her husband#she is controlling Audra she is controlling her pleasure and showing her what she did deserves to be rewarded#what she did deserved to be praised and worshipped#why would Audra ever let that go she has always been made to feel less than#and right now Leona is showing her even in her most monstrous form she is loved#I have other things written about how Leona would be whispering into Audra’s ear while fucking her from behind#she’d be praising how beautifully she killed him#how well she listens to her#every time I open up their google doc I’m like these bitches need to fuck!!!!!#and write the most disgusting sex scenes#disgusting in like a romantic way

i'm having more side quest ideas
#so there is a religion of sorts that's built from the belief that dragons will one day return#and it's that group that sasha is 'warning' his subjects of and what he's blaming the quest on#he's all like 'oh no there's a sub group of Fanatics trying to bring dragons back from the dead you must stop them' but it's a distraction#ANYWAY#i was thinking about other religions that might exist across the continent#and then i was thinking of like. oracle types and the general idea of someone being Chosen#and having to live their life devoted to this one being/idea#and then i thought of freya and her love of knowledge and the way she literally goes through and edits the books in the library#how at least once a week she makes the treck to bruasse just to speak to rue about rivers and water nymphs#how it's her dream to explore the continent just to /learn about it/#and i know i've said in the past that the gods don't really manifest the way you'd normally expect#like maurua literally IS the mountains she is not some personified guardian of them. she is them.#and taiua IS the earth and slovua IS the ocean#but i feel like there are maybe younger gods that could be a little more like. malleable#like how vietua is the night sky but she is also known as the 'mother of all' bc they believe creation started with her#and she's literally where stardust comes from#and i was thinking of that and akoua - education and learning - and thinking of her like. calling to freya#and freya going on some big coming of age like journey that leads to her being this Bearer Of Knowledge like some sort of human encyclopedi#and her becoming some sort of priestess for Akoua and it being a Whole Thing#idk how i'd do it im just having visions#side quests#WHICH ACTUALLY I WAS ALSO THINKING OF SOME SORT OF MIEDNIC / OMOS FORBIDDEN ROMANCE THING#SO TECHNICALLY. MULTIPLE SIDE QUEST IDEAS#i just really love having a pre-existing fantasy world to play in

if I think about katniss and peeta too long my vision starts to look like when you take damage in a cod game
#I’m not exaggerating that it’s one of the most profound and moving depictions of romantic love like it’s masterful idc if it’s a kids book#the hype that love triangles in its hey day were annoying is fair but i actually think it was a really poignant and relevant story telling#device in this case#it’s the enduring kindness with no agenda because of genuine chosen dedication and admiration and understanding#it’s the balancing of identities and and raw acceptance !!!!!!! it’s the protection and cultivation of trust and reliance and THE PATIENCE#UDHEHDHSHDHDHD THE ANTITHETICALS TO HOW GALE PERCEIVES AND ATTEMPTS TO CARE FOR HER AND HIS INABILITY TO RECOGNIZE IT AS DESTRUCTIVE AND NOT#TRULY VULNERABLE#“what I need is the dandelion in the spring.’ frankly HAUNTS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#the impact this line had on my brain development cannot be overstated#it’s just…….the idea of hope carefully and lovingly cultivated out of dedication to the heart of another ……. oh I’m kmsing#and only peeta can give me that …….. BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK#I could go ON about how much of an incredible and multifaceted and quietly fascinating katniss is in so many ways rhat don’t get much talk#but just thinking about like the ways in which peeta saw to the heart of her and showed her a fondness and appreciation and CHOICEEEEE to#defend (figuratively and literally) and love her in whatever ways he could and would not be a burden to her while she was dealing with so#much pain and distrust and disillusionment so that she felt incapable or even didn’t WANT to feel that or fully understand it#and then watching that grow more and more complicated for her until she’s suddenly knowing the true heart of HIM and it’s beginning to#change HER and then all of the sudden the roles are reversed and he is now the one who is so emotionally far away and closed off and#traumatized and her sudden crashing understanding of what he served in her life and to her understanding of love when it’s suddenly gone#and the point where SHEEEEE is now making that same choice to patiently and vulnerably be there and see any dark part and love and protect#despite it and do for him what she didn’t fully realize he had done for her like my god. my god.#DO ANY OF YALL GET THE VISION……..EVERYONE LEFT I STAYED HERE ‼️‼️‼️

I could be much worse than I am but you don't even consider that.
#personal#me#ugh#why do i so desperately need validation from my mother. like. if she doesn't like one thing about me i want to kms.#but she doesn't even think about the fact that I'm not a party girl I'm not a heavy drinker or drug abuser or anything crazy.#I've been blunt my whole life and that's not going to change.#i wasn't even attacking her i wasn't even trying to disrespect her and she always takes me the wrong way.#like imagine if i WAS attacking and intentionally being disrespectful?! i never would. but imagine. i could've BEEN that problem child.#but I've actively chosen to BE obedient and diligent and freaking responsible for my brothers and helping with bills....#... because I've always needed the validation that i AM a good girl.#am i insecure?#wth is wrong with me.#do i do it for the wrong reasons?#:/#idk#i just hate how easily she can make me feel like trash because I mentally allow that. i let it eat me up inside.#rant#sorry#i love my mother. i just need to rant and distance myself a little.

a take about something adjacent to this floated around yesterday but i didn't have the spoons to reblog it then and my brain generated this today so
happy that verica popped up completely irrelevant to any other plot i had going on. the romance between her & vince is just about the least focused thing in my story. which gives me the opportunity to be as silly with it as i like. and it gets on my ass about making her a fully fledged character bc these brainworms of mine suffer heavily from vince favouritism.
but i can already somewhat tell that she's probably gonna become pretty high up in the favourites ranking as well. as much as i have in common with vince on an interests level, there is more with verica, and the things i have in common with her i've explored through writing much less so far, so that's gonna be a Journey of (Self) Discovery again i'm sure. and the few character traits i have in stone for her are already looking pretty interesting too, again mostly to play well with vince's own, but i want to add more to make her more unique and alive still too.
mmm gonna be fun
#character development my absolute beloved#rift noises#see just how little their relationship matters to her overall character?#i meant to make a post about that#but she derailed it#as she should#the post i referenced at first made a point to showcase like#sometimes people write a romance to write a romance but the story is really then all about the romance#and the book ends when the will they/wont they is resolved or smth#with her and vince it is literally in the past and also the start and i would fucking love to write the before times as well#but its just another character dynamic#one with lots of potential for juice but no more or less valid than any other ties we have going on#ace spec and proud. let me inflict the love of chosen family upon you all#MY BRAIN KEEPS DERAILING#i've also written those stories where romance is the be all end all goal and it feels Awkward to write more after that#which is perfectly fine when that's your goal!! it's fun and nice to have!!#it's just interesting to me that this sprouted up and immediately said 'props to those but im gonna be different'#and i am super interested to see where it will take me#that is a lot of rift noises. im gonna go back to work

peregrine when she was a kittennn
#mwahahahha#they'll never know peregrine's name was chosen because jiwoon wanted her to be apart of him and Azazil#so he named her with the letter of Pisces' name so he could feel like they were something#that they gave something life#because spoiling a dying streetcat and making her feel loved is life itself

controversial perhaps but ocean did not have any character development. she is the same person at the beginning as she was at the end. the entire musical is her desperately wanting to want to live. wanting to want to put herself first. what the world needs is the person she wants to be and the person she pretends to be and isn't.
#emyrs.txt#rtcm#THIS IS NOT OCEAN HATE. I LOVE HER SO DEEPLY. I SUPPORT WOMEN'S RIGHTS & WOMEN'S WRONGS.#but yes. she wants to be selfish and she wants to live more than anything EXCEPT. that she doesn't want to be the only one brought back.#one of the FIRST questions she asks is.' why cant you bring ALL of us back?' she hears. 'one of u can be brought back but u have to win a#game for it' and her response isn't. 'ok whatre the rules? how do we play?' it's. 'no that's not fair why can't you bring all of us back#why do we have to play a game for it? this isn't fair.'#and yes. she goes super hard into the. i'm the best person ever and the only logical choice. but i think it's mostly a defense mechanism#kinda thing. like. i;m gonna try my best at this game where the outcome is outside of my control (she was still operating under the#assumption that Karnak was going to be the one to choose who lived) and whatever happens happens !#but i think the moment Karnak told the choir it was supposed to be unanimous she sorta gave up. bc she knew she couldn't ever choose hersel#so in her campaigning. in her insistence to everyone that they should choose her. there were two outcomes: 1. everyone chose her yay !#there's no guilt. or 2. she doesn't get chosen and so. no guilt.#does this make any sense. i've been watching a bunch of different ride the cyclone performances and so far Tiffany's performance of Ocean#has been my favorite and the only one who i feel has done it right.#everyone else goes WAYYYYY too hard or not hard enough. tiffany i think manages to hit her just right. anyway
