#moral of the story is There Are No Rules

[tillywunderwing]

psst. hey. do you ever worry that you’re writing characters ‘ooc’ in fanfiction? well guess what. you’re not. that’s just your au now.

“they would not say that” yes they would, my au version of this character would totally say that

“ummmm this character’s powers don’t work like that” but they do. in my au

“these characters would never canonically be dating” buddy oh boy i cannot wait to tell you what fanfiction writers have been doing since the advent of their craft!! anything goes in my au!!!

the medium is inherently transformative do whatever you want forever ok ly byye

I find it interesting that the time Great spends with Tyme in Timeline1 are the only ones that leak through without Great having a 4 minutes into the future vision in the Timeline2 that we are watching, Great who is having a heart attack in Timeline1 must REALLY be in love Tyme

Trying to find nice stuff for Wish but everywhere you go people are being painfully wrong in their interpretations of the movie

Thinking about "default to violence as a form of justice and discipline" Jason and him never questioning those thought processes or his constant urge to maim others for not staying in line with his morals/beliefs (even if those beliefs are not standard/societal or are incredibly niche to Jason specifically) because he was raised under the unspoken rule of "fuck up and find teeth in your throat" in the wolf house and it only really begins to bother him when he loses his memories but as soon as he starts to remember his past, he stops caring because oh right, this is how the world is supposed to work (he does not understand why others do not agree)

I remember some post that was like "There are no rules to life; you can eat lasagna in the shower if you want and no one can stop you"

I always thought to myself that I need to engulf myself in this philosophy more often because I often inhibit myself with fake rules, and the more I break them the less I'll try to enforce them.

Anyways. Happy to report that I have taken a step in that healing journey by using one of my old bath bombs I made that I kept saving for a ""special enough"" occasion. Also I drank a hard peach cider and ate a pizza in the bathtub. It was a glorious Friday night...

In Nothing But Shadows, Ragnor tells James that he’s been waiting for James to come to him for help on his warlock powers, and James says he’s only ever wanted to be a Shadowhunter. I think this should have been explored much more in TLH, where James is struggling to differentiate himself from his warlock side but it’s hard because of his abilities and his warlock mark.

On the other hand, we have Lucie who always says she doesn’t appreciate being overlooked (even though she ends up being overlooked through the whole narrative even though her power is more plot-relevant than James’s). Objectively, Lucie has the more powerful ability between her and James, and she does not have a warlock mark and is unafraid to use her power. She has a willingness to learn about her warlock side. Therefore, I think she definitely should have started warlock training so we could see the way that James and Lucie have opposite views on their powers and whether they are a blessing or curse, something to hide away and tame or something to utilize. It would also be interesting to see because, although this is not discussed in TLH, it is mentioned in the short stories that even at a young age people in Shadowhunter society think that Lucie is never going to be married because of her warlock blood and that any little misstep could forever ruin her reputation. So her warlock training just adds even more risk but I think that seems like something Lucie would do regardless. It could have added much more dimension to Lucie’s character and furthered an antihero arc (that I so desperately wish would have happened).

sometimes reading Kory’s talk about love and how her culture normalizes poly relationships and love is separate from marriage as in yeah sometimes you marry for politics but doesn’t mean you ‘love’ that other person or they you and thats OK is so weird because, you don’t even need to go to space for that?? Its already somewhere on earth??

[paint-it-dead]

this is completly self indulgent and fucking random but i HAVE to vent

this was one of my favourite few months fandon wise istg

first i experienced dazai osamu- THE Mr. Bungou Stray Dogs himself die on the anniversary of Bakugou Katsuki's death. Both of these occurencies very fucking hilarious to me for different reasons but needless to say i celebrated both(dazai's more, REST IN PISS BOZO) nevertheless

then i read a post here on the site of the tumblr that apparently griffith berserk has managed to live this long(over 30 human yrs) cus he "allegedly" survives by stealing the life force of other white haired anime boys. i found this hilarious and jokingly prayed to him that if that WAS the case then 'Please o please o please o great griffith i'll take any penalty just fucking kill Gojo Satoru i cant stand his fake ass' and GUESS WHAT

GOJO SATORU DIES WITHIN THE FUCKING WEEK OF ME SAYING THAT

but on that same day fucking DAZAI comes back from the dead.

so griffith did what he had to do to rid us of the annoying white haired twink but said brunettes r not his type.

what a wild ride.

i wish my life made as much sense as this lmao

Not the “Across the Spider-Verse” film introducing yet MORE ways in which Miles is pulled between two worlds/two identities!!!

Already in “Into the Spider-Verse” we saw him pulled in two directions / straddling two identities or communities on multiple fronts, namely:

Afrolatino

Bilingual

Graffiti artist / STEM student

Regular kid / Spider-Man

Fancy private school kid / Brooklyn public school kid

“Focused” honors student / “Distracted” serial truant

And now we get to tack on:

His DNA is literally hybridized - part from his birth universe (Earth-1610B) AND part from the Earth-42 universe

Heroic Spider-Person AND dangerous anomaly

Bruh. The levels. They really went all-in with him on the myriad ways one can be othered by their own community - never being considered enough of one identity to be claimed by either of them and thus never really feeling like you truly, wholly belong anywhere, huh?! Gotdamn.

the conversation where molly says "I leave every town better than I found it" is when he's defending himself after beau called him out for doing something fucked up, which was telling strangers what he arbitrarily decides that they need to hear and subsequently scamming them with false fortunes, like has legitimately everyone fucking forgotten that. it was just quoted in the wired article about critical role's positive legacy and it's...still the tagline for their nonprofit

I’ve been successfully peer reviewed and I’m pretty sure I now have tenure 💅

[thewhizzyhead]

being a busy ass student with student journalism gigs on one hand and comm academic shit on the other is very interesting because with the jam-packed life I live I only really get to breathe at like late lAAATE night when no one can bother me about my responsibilities other than myself. that being said that's also when creative brain goes into overdrive and now misfits finally has the final draft of its opening number woo

Hi! For Wild’s chapter in Like a Rag Doll, is it possible to get a translation for the old English sentence at the beginning? I think I got most of it but I am not sure about the “warden hi onyenes” part is supposed to be.

Thank you!

Hello! Just to be entirely honest before I share it--I absolutely based it off the stone tablets in totk. There are some other words that I researched before adding, but for the most part it was me squinting at the text and trying to figure out how the words worked XD

You did get most of it:

'Ond so the goddesse seyde tha a champion bith from the skie comen, to warden hi onyenes the wroth god of derknesse.’

"And so the goddess said that a champion born from the sky will come, to ward it against the wrathful god of darkness."

It's definitely not perfect, but I'm choosing to make it the consequence of time on poorly kept oral tradition.

But yeah, it's referencing how Sky had to hold back Demise, specifically the seals he would use. Hylia was 'speaking' in this part, as her plan to defeat Demise was explained to the audience ^-^

there are very few things that will get me to stop reading a fic once i get into it, but the one that never fails to get me to click away is when the reader explicitly says that they are straight, or that they’re only attracted to men

especially because i’ve never felt the need, in any of the fics i’ve written with a heterosexual pairing, to have one of the characters announce it to the world

[scorchedhearth]

a lot of things could be fixed by making casca a butch. the rest of the issues could be fixed by making her a protagonist before a girl

atsv's miguel o'hara is so lana del ray multiverse of madness' wanda coded. went out of his way to steal the life of another miguel in order to have the family that he never did in his own universe. and caused irredeemable harm because of it.

and then he goes and projects all that guilt and emotional trauma onto miles, because he has the potential to make the same mistake >:C not because miles wants to steal and gain a family he should've never had to begin with. but because he just wants to save the family he already has. wasn't even meant to be spider-man and now miguel's after his head because he's trying to break the mold of what it means to be spidey

like mfer if you don't leave that child alone and let him save his dad
