it's actually so important to me that in the memory loss extras xie lian finds out he doesn't have spiritual power anymore (because he's been having sex). it means
he feels comfortable relying on hua cheng
he's able to be 'selfish', and choose what he wants rather than what other people think is correct
he's free from the responsibility of being the most powerful martial god in heaven
he's getting thoroughly dicked down
#tgcf#i speak#love to the fics that do alternate things where he still keeps it or recultivates or w/e#and initially it feels a bit anticlimactic. he just got that back!! why would he give it up!!! thats such a shame!#and then you realize you sound like a heavenly official#he doesnt give a shit#isnt it beautiful that his husband is always so close#that he doesnt feel guilty about borrowing anymore#isnt it so nice to know that given the choice between upholding an ancient promise for incomprehensible amounts of power#and fucking his husband#he fucked his husband???#slay king#removing the shackle 1) gave him enough power to defeat jun wu and 2) removed the last marks of control that jun wu had#it was about xie lian's freedom and love empowering him#i'd argue that the main point was not the achievement of simply becoming more powerful.#so hua cheng's third death was still hugely important even if xie lian did not keep the power#i cant imagine he has a problem with this development#hc: but gege.... your cultivation...🥺🥺 xl: i want you more hc:🤯😍#gay sex + getting to kiss gege all the time for power > any guilt he might have#thats my two cents :)#hualian#hua cheng#xie lian#tgcf meta#hob#heaven official's blessing#tgcf spoilers#tgcf book 5 spoilers

I think it would've been cooler if they leaned into the aquatic side of Light Furies more!! I gave my own redesign of the Light Fury!
Also making them an aquatic dragon would've made them looking sleeker a lot more logical.
Anyways I hope someone likes this -w-''
There's a whole little rant in the tags btw
#light fury redesign#art#my art#httyd#httyd 3#light fury#so basically i loved the little sail like thing on light fury's back and thought that she was probably more of an aquatic dragon with her#fin (?) shaped like that. So i just added some webbing to the claws and made them blue instead because that will help this species blend in#with the water if they're blue!!#I also thought about making her more of a gliding dragon but instead i just decided to keep the same wings. The scales being glow in the#dark was also a must because if they're living in water they might swim to deeper water so obviously they have to have glowing scales!!#I contemplated giving her glowing markings as well but i couldn't figure out any that i liked. I also wanted to give her gills but i feel#that would've created another problem like the fact she can't breathe anything BUT water y'know? i don't really like her being toothless'#mate much either but that would create a dilemma if that design was put in the movie because she would be fully aquatic while the dragon#that she loves is anything but aquatic lmao#anyways i'm done rambling

Any fun AK/AK ships? Without Audrey ideally?
#for the soulmate au#the inherent horror of soulmates#can't be Audrey cos she can't have a mark#the horror of not having a soulmate when everyone else has and wondering if there's something wrong with her#i might not be doing soulmate au correctly but that's not a me problem#like. soulmate au is scary?? what do you mean you're incomplete without a soulmate?? what does that make u??#what about people with multiple soulmates or none? are they more or less human??#plus the self worth issues#just. tjis is the person that I'm supposed to love forever and ever?#seems like a horror concept to me#to the vks too soooo#anyway#please?#disney descendants

My academic hot take: There is a very real frustration in studying an "obscure" topic that increases the feeling of distance between you and "laymen" (aka anyone who isn't your advisor/someone studying the same thing.)
And I certainly don't begrudge people who have a more accessible or widely known topic. It's just a fact that the question "what is your dissertation about?" takes way longer to answer when you have to give a 101 lecture first (and you have to calculate whether the person asking is patient enough for that lecture)
#grad school stuff#and i do mean 'obscure' in quotation marks#i study a big european empire#and i still had someone with a PhD in a different subject ask why i was going to Austria to do my dissertation research#when i told me advisor he sighed and said “sometimes you have to call it the Austrian empire for people to understand”#my answer to what is your dissertation about:#a doomed emperor of a country you had no idea had two empires#from an empire you might know if i call it its post 1867 name#people who study the American civil war dont have this problem

one thing that is so genius on a craft level with the broken earth books is that the derogatory for 'orogene' is - That Way - on 100% purpose. you're supposed to feel like it's not a word to say out loud, it's supposed to be uncomfortably similar to words you've already heard and know as cruel slurs in the real world. it's a direct fucking parallel designed to deliberately give the reader that crawling feeling and it works so well i dont even feel right typing it up for a post
#which leads of course into direct parallels when orogenes reclaim it and start calling themselves it as a use name#which gives ESSUN the ick . despite using it herself in a derogatory/self-deprecating way#how they're not supposed to use it in the fulcrum because it's a slur. but this also gives them no framework for reclaiming it#an orogene who's grown up with that mindset will think it's crude or self-hating to start using the r-version in earnest#and this supposed mark of propriety and politeness thus becomes yet another way for the fulcrum to exert control#'don't use that word it's a dirty word.' 'we're the only organization on earth that will treat you like people. but we both know you're NOT#etc etc#which i think this level of bare-bones just-this-close-to-reality worldbuilding#might be part of what's prevented the series from getting as big as some other similar spec fic series#it's full of fantastic elements but the main conflict/problem with the world is a 1:1 problem we already have#i imagine a lot of readers feel uncomfortable about that#but also. as illustrated by this exact 1:1 problem. it's a very Black series by a Black author that is only ostensibly about people who can#move rocks with their minds#which is unfortunately the other reaosn i think it doesn't have the audience of say. baru#and i love baru! good books. having a lot of fun with them#but jemison's ability to write about the same things has this extra toothy edge that baru just ... won't. just by nature of experience#anyway there is so much in these books . god

see i dont think mark ever explicitly told ashe “no you cant go outside and have friends.” i dont think he ever said “stay in your room every day” or “dont go to the store” or “never learn to drive or take the train or go to a restaurant.” what happens, with homeschooling, and especially with homeschooling like ashe’s, is the Rot. the monotony of day-in and day-out where little ever changes. It wasn’t Mark that wouldve kept ashe inside, it was the Sludge. and mark, always going in and out of the house, would have had NO way to know about it. i dont really know where im going w this anymore just. grhehhrgrgr winters family
#pd#i saw someone talk about mark being controlling earlier and ive been thinking about it#hell yeah to any and all interpretations of media im not shitting on it#but it didnt mesh with thr way i see him and its fun to think about#with the lens of homeschooling i think that mark was actually like#excited for ashe#like oh thank god. some social connections that are good at dodging huge murder lasers#surely this will translate to letting them dodge huge murders hands (haha nope)#yes absolutely mark was also plotting some evil little scheme in the background#but then he saw how much ashe CARED for these kids#and promptly threw himself to the wolves to give them a better chance#*tried to lmao that didnt work out#its just really. man. if mark had help or he hadnt been a supervillain or if the book wasnt a problem#i think he wouldve been a Great dad#not just because he loves ashe. but because he was able to recognize that ashe was his own person making choices#and it might not be what mark thought was good for him but making ashe make different choices#would have been worse (and he COULD have done it. memory blitz them and then pretend the kids didnt want to talk to each other)#hes done nasty nasty shit. hes a supervillain. hes entrenched in too-far measures all the time#but#he changed his own behaviour to try to make ashe’s life as good as it could be in this new framework#and thats not something a lot of people can do parent or not

just remembered that one linguistics unit where i only did half the final assignment and handed it in like a week late and they still passed me for the unit
#i dont think i was on disability anymore at that point so they just really believed in me 😭😭😭😭#to be fair i also remember doing an assignment for that class that i was REALLY proud of#and got good marks for. like lightbulb moment#so i guess it seemed like i knew what i was doing i just had Problems.#wait i might be mixing up two different classes.#anyways the reason i remembered this is becos i have a whole ass linguistics degree and i remember#precisely none of it <3#ok either im mixing up two classes OR i did the same thing for both of them.#i actually would have handed it in 2 weeks later but. the tutor (professor?) emailed me#and said i Had to hand it whatever i had. hence why it was unfinished

Screaming with excitement right now
Crowley in season 8x07 was willing to knife fight Castiel. That was when he assumed Cas’ was too weak to use the full smite of his angel powers
I love it, because Crowley does not underestimate Cas in anyway. Crowley has always had a healthy appreciation for Cas’ abilities, so Crowley is more than aware of how BAMF Cas is at knife to knife fighting. Yet Crowley believed he had a chance, which shows that Crowley is pretty BAMF himself
I won’t lie, I think Cas would win in a “fight until one is knocked out” type situation. Cas is millions of years old and a soldier, it is highly unlikely Crowley would be better than him, and I just “yeah sure lol” whenever Dean is made to be more skilled than Cas? like what are the directors smoking? Dean is skilled but he doesn’t have millions of years of experience. Or if Cas only began fighting when humans were created, then thousands of years
But do I think Crowley could have put up a good enough fight, with his cunning, to stun Cas for just long enough to teleport away with Kevin and the tablet?
The answer is yes. It takes 7 milliseconds to snap your fingers. He needs to use cunning long enough to have that 7 milliseconds. Don’t get me wrong Cas would absolutely kick Crowley’s arse in any fight, even a non power fight where it’s just melee vs melee but I do think Crowley has enough skill to buy himself 7 milliseconds and that is an incredible feat, because Cas has way more experience even if he didn’t have powers, which he did
So why didn’t Crowley teleport with Kevin and the tablet while Cas was doing his light show? We know from 7x23 that Crowley doesn’t need to touch an item or people to teleport them
The answer I believe is this:
originally Crowley thought Cas didn’t have enough powers. The light show made him think okay maybe I was wrong. Originally he thought he just needed to stun Cas long enough to get him, the tablet and Kevin out and Cas wouldn’t be able to follow because he wasn’t in good shape
Cas was able to bluff well enough to make Crowley believe he was fine and if we remember from 5x10 Cas can follow Crowley’s teleportation energy like how he followed Crowley to his house, even though Crowley teleported before him
So if you already know the angel can follow your teleportation signature, and you guess that they still have some power left in them to follow you, what would be the point? Fold your cards and try again. You can risk teleporting away, but if the angel follows you they might not give you an advantage of warning you with a light show next time
#Crowley spn#Castiel#Kevin Tran#Anti Dean Winchester#Well it's not anti Dean but like there may be people who have a problem with me believing that Mark of Cain Dean shouldn't just be able to#win like that#Like I get that the mark gave him supernatural abilities but there is more to a fight than strength and Cas also has super strength so uh#But yeah gonna tag it anti Dean because Dean lovers might hate Dean's moment of BAMF being looked at skeptically#Supernatural#Spn 5x10#Spn 8x07#Spn 7x23#Okay demons have hundreds of years of experience but honestly most of them aren't soldiers so they had no reason to believe they needed to#be good at fighting#like with super strength they just believe they can defeat any human#so Dean being able to use cunning to defeat enemies who rely more on their powers than skill is realistic#Except the fact is if Cas is a soldier he has the skill too

watching rowan ellis's video abt omegaverse makes me want to kill youtube and its censoring rules. this is a perfectly fine educational video but it mentions sexual things so she has to bleep out words, misspell captions, and omit article names or talk around certain topics and that's honestly lowkey (or highkey) fucked up
i don't understand why youtube just doesn't have different rules for videos with adult topics, honestly kind of like the tumblr community labels, where certain advertisers can focus on as well (like ads for alcoholic drinks. all the yaoi app ads I've seen ppl post abt. sex shop sites. stuff like that yknow??) like basically make it like the opposite of youtube kids, and people can choose in the settings whether or not they want to be recommended videos from that section of youtube on their feed or search results
no straight up porn, but like. educational videos such as this one that talk about sexual topics. sex toy reviews or guides. trans healthcare resources that talk about genitals. these are things that SHOULD be easy to find and that the people making them SHOULD be able to receive money for even if their channel isn't big enough to get sponsorship deals yet, and people should be able to read accurate captions for these videos (or at least uncensored captions in the automatically generated ones. on god i hate google for replacing swear words with underlines) i don't understand why this is such a difficult concept to grasp
#am i crazy. this seems like such a simple solution to me. it actually solves multiple problems even#like the violent videos accidentally marked for youtube kids by the algorithm for example#if the creators can just say in advance ''hey this video has violence'' without their video getting nuked immediately -#- it'll also help keep kids safer. this is literally a win-win idgi#and yeah most advertisers might not want to get involved with those videos. but not all!!#esp with the violence stuff. think how many sponsors true crime channels get for example#i couldn't find a place in the actual post to talk abt this topic but yeah. that too!#I'm tired of 'unalive' 'k-word' 'did a not so nice thing'. youtubers having to do hand motions bc they're not allowed to say sex. etc

Sometimes people will comment on completed oneshots with 'can't wait to see what happens next' and you're just like 'oh babe that's it' but now you kinda feel you gotta figure out what would happen next despite the story being over in your mind
#ace writes sometimes#writing problems#Comments#im not bothered by the comments i just have an intrinsic need to please and so when someone expresses interest in a story i want to continu#it for them its just sometimes that interest is in completed ficlets and i end up putting pressure on myself thats not necessary#im not saying dont comment that! ive continued oneshots that had been completed before and sometimes despite being completed i do have#further ideas for that verse its just that im not committing to writing that story so i mark it as complete for now so in those instances#seeing that other people are also interested in potential follow up is great! but i just dont want to disappoint people when i inevitably#do not follow up because im bad at updating my actual wips never mind previously completed works#*edit: i responded to the initial comment that prompted this post explaining that the fic in question is complete and i didnt have plans to#change that but i can see how it might seem unfinished with how i left it cus i was unhappy with it at the time i dont have plans for it bu#i have continued completed oneshots before. basically in a theres no plan but it could happen just dont hold out hope#and they left another comment. on an unrelated fic asking me to write a fic with the plot of the fic i had already completed with no#acknowledgement or reference to the fic they were actually commenting on so now it starting to seem a lil pushy maybe a tad entitled

flipping through my fic The Problem with Making Friends, particularly the paragraph with the quote the title comes from, and thinking about... something something your loved one making a well meaning attempt to reach out to you, but missing the mark and not actually seeing you as you are, because even though they have good intentions, they don't think to take equivalent actions to back up that intent.
and i realized oh, was writing that entire fic to start processing the last letter from my dad? :x
lol oops
#that aside it's a theme i really want to lean into for my take on vashwood#the two of them so caught up in their own workds they hardly even look at each other#and not for lack of trying or wanting just... they're both neck deep in so much else#that even when they want to offer comfort to each other they miss the mark more often than not#they want to work it out but they're both traumatized to shit and 'working it out' is probably not even a concept on their radar#eventually they'll start making more hits than misses but... i think it might have to break them a little bit first#they're going to make some progress after The Problem with Making Friends (i have a plot bunny in the works!)#but after that is going to come some backsliding#not a betrayal but... they're both gonna fuck up and push each other away#(also yes i am absolutely ignoring the thing anout my dad)#(there's a reason i put that so far back on the backburner it's coming out in my fic lmao)#(like what am i 16???)#narrating my life
