#might actually have to watch the movie

Time for the Big Black Bird

Okay so enough, I’ve only been talking around the Darkstar for 12 freaking stories.  Since the very first IceMav story, for Zarquon’s sake.  

(bangs head on keyboard)

So yeah, I’m starting to come up with notes and ideas.  And watching the flight from the movie.  And looking at events I’ve written so far.  I have ... IDEAS.

You people do realize I’ve literally written almost the equivalent of a novel since January 20th, right?  It’s March 14th as I write this and I’ve already written a freaking novel.  Roughly 43k words.  Almost a novel, which starts at 50k.

My actual first original novel was something like 60k words.  My second original novel, the sequel to the first, was 180k because I went out of my mind and put in everything but the kitchen sink.  (There have been 5 original novels.  The first is available on Amazon as an ebook for Kindle, title “Machina Obscura” in the science-fiction genre.  I was in my cyberpunk phase back then and please remember it’s a FIRST NOVEL so it’s not my best work, but I can still read it without cringing too hard.  For a book written 21 years ago, I count that as a win.  The rest are not available anywhere and haven’t been published but they do exist.  They were podcasted but again those are no longer available.  If anyone is interested I could be persuaded to do a post here about them.  In total, 4 sci-fi books, 1 Arthurian mythos fantasy.  Plus various shorter works, all sci-fi.)

Anyway so yeah, the madness continues, there’s going to be so much plot.  So.  Much.  Plot.

"Are the Robins child soldiers" It depends. If the story is super serious and into exploring complex morality and grounded from reality's standards, then yes. If the story is lighthearted, made for children, fluff, etc., then no. If it's somewhere in the middle, it might depend.

If an author wants to write a story seriously delving into the fucked up-ness of children fighting criminals, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

If an author wants to write a fun story about villains and heroes featuring Robin in a world where that's not an issue, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

If an author wants to write a serious story but not apply IRL-logic to Robin, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

The X trilogy + "psycho-biddy" influences

hi!! ur super talented!! also you mentioned mikan body horror in one of your posts? if you’re inspired then commit to it, my interest is piqued <3

if youve ever had a uterus you know the body horror that is normal monthly life with that sucker. But since women are often so objectified, reduced to their reproductive capabilities (which ignores women who cant reproduce) and how goddamn weird people can be about them and their bodies and what people think about their bodies, it takes skill to depict this, and im not sure i have this skill.

I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.

Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.

If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.

"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.

SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed

I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.

“not the worst saw trap” WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS IN SAW THEN

ppl die mostly lol

series gets crazier as the movies go on so like 'walk around in glass with a candle while covered in a flammable substance while looking for numbers in a dark room' is exponentially better than being put in a brazen bull, gettin clapped by bigass ice cubes ,or having your ribcage turned into angel wings.

Barriss: "You understand...Miralans live for centuries. I will look almost exactly the same by the time your body starts to fail. I don't even know if you'll live long enough to witness my Midlife Crisis."

Ahsoka: "No, I can't die."

Barriss: "Ahsoka, someday, everyone has to--"

Ahsoka: "No, I mean I literally Cannot Die. I was given the life force of a divine being from another dimension while in a realm beyond time, and though I grew up to an adult, my montrals and lekku haven't striped a day past thirty since I was, well, thirty. And with all the stuff that's tried to kill me and failed, I don't see any surprises coming along, so, yeah. It looks like I'll be around forever."

Barriss: "....."

Ahsoka: "...it's weird for you to think about this from the other side, isn't it?"

Barriss: "Just a little."

I just finished Crimson and Clover (over and over), and I'm very nearly at a loss for words on my adoration for this chapter.

You've *clearly* used some sort of dark alchemy at chapter's end to transform a block of words into an hour long episode of prestige lesbian television drama inside my mind. It was the final look at the mixtape that did it, I'm certain. Very well done

thank you so much! i really appreciate hearing this - there's a lot of moments in sckl i try to give a somewhat "cinematic" feeling and that chapter was definitely one of them

[crystxlangxlic]

the new asides virgil and roman i am going to explode they're jack and sally "you're right roman we can live like jack and sally if you want" aiqbdieubd i hate them so much i will kill them with hammers

[sonknuxadow]

[velvetjune]

occasionally get hit by how much I love saga and casey’s relationship. casey being a part of the family, saga investigating on her own to find casey, them supporting each other even in the questionable reality around them, telling each other jokes the entire time, being in sync with their little coffee drinks. love them

Is it the gremlin or the good nurse tonight?

[upodupo]

I want Amy and rouge for the movies :( SO IMPORTANT TO THE STORRYYYY

[cs-cabin-and-crew]

Guess what? I’m part of this fandom too.

Have my favorite sassy gal Saphira. I’m currently rereading the series, because I never got the chance to read the mini stories and I’m now starting to try and get to Murtaugh.

Roran keeps reminding me why he’s my favorite. Eragon is a moron as always. And murtaugh… well, I’m rereading eldest, so he’s basically dead to me right now 😆. But I still love him.
