#most i've written like ever man

[captain-evil-bastard]

honestly i don't think mileven is endgame at all. like little to no chance. byler though is either gonna be open ended, hinted, or explicitly shown and i'm 100% sure of that, although i REALLY think the focus of s5 will be them mending their platonic relationship further. i think so there's less backlash they'll attempt to let general audiences see how they work as a pair EQUALLY unlike mileven, as well as showing that they work together on more levels than instantly getting into a relationship (ik they've been friends for years but the duffers have to make up for how mike was to will in a good chunk of s3-4).

overall i think the ACTUAL chances of the 'byler kiss' are pretty slim, but i'm not opposed to being proved wrong. we have to remember that this show has a shit ton of characters despite the focus on will this season and that they ALL need to have some loose ends tied up still as well (praying on that hopper and el duo and dustin angst arc loll)

i don't think many people will actually be upset by the implication of byler in the show aside from hardcore mileven shippers (nobody really had heavy backlash for will crushing on mike so...). i can tell you that most fans are ship neutral, if not against mileven because of their related breakups.

so overall? byler will be canon one way or another, but realistically it's not gonna be super-duper lovey dovey (considering mike is still theoretically deep in the closet). and honestly? that's still really satisfying for a mainstream show to have a significant, well built-up queer arc.

ALSO while i consider myself to be relatively objective and logical i could be wrong. argue with me! tag this when s5 rolls around and it's revealed that will is actually vecnas son and mike was a mass hallucination from stranger things fans!

Preparing myself to read a Persona 5 fic because it sounds super interesting but Maruki is a tagged character which means there's like a 70% chance that he's being mischaracterized

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.

writing share - body horror edition

So, the lovely, amazing @space-writes expressed interest in reading my fucked-up body horror that I wrote last night/early this morning, and who am I to deny a friend? So, here you go:

A brief bit of context: Just under two days ago, Sigmar, Rook's beloved mentor and kinda-sorta father figure, ended up being revealed as a corpse being puppeted by the BBEG, Dr. Purity. The rest of the party brutally killed him while Rook watched. (Via tooth and claw, and also a sonic shockwave from a magic guitar.) And just today, Warren, the party gunslinger, a werewolf and Rook's other kinda-sorta father figure, died (like perma-forever, never-coming-back died) in order to save Rook's life. (Or rather, in order to resurrect Rook, since he was dead at the time.) Now Rook is extremely sleep-deprived and also being affected by mind-altering parasites, two factors that are working together to give him some pretty vivid and fucked-up hallucinations.

(fair warning, this isn't written out fully to the best of my abilities because this scene hasn't happened yet. So this is just my description of what Rook will be seeing and hearing, not a full prose write-up with his internal thoughts and all that. I will almost certainly do that after next week's session, though, so let me know if you want to see that then.)

major tw for extreme body horror under the cut (also emotional manipulation/guilt-tripping)

Rook hears a strange sound, like clumsy, disjointed footsteps. He looks around wildly for the source of the sound and freezes. Out of the hallway we have just come from looms a horrible sight: Sigmar's corpse is lurching towards him, somehow propelling itself on shattered limbs. All of his joints are dislocated, giving his body a freakishly elongated appearance. His shredded clothes are soaked with blood, and every inch of his skin is covered in hundreds of claw and tooth marks, which are weeping blood. Black ichor drips from his mouth, and a web of dark black veins branch out across his face. Every inch he moves closer leaves a trail of blood behind him. He reaches out towards Rook with jagged, broken fingers, and says "Rook... your friends killed me. Slaughtered me like an animal." He takes another staggering step towards Rook, who backs away, shaking. "You promised to help me. You said you trusted me." He points an accusing finger at Rook. "I should never have come to you. I should have burned down Warren's house with you still inside. It's what the two of your deserve." As if on cue, another shape lurches out of the shadows of a hallway across the way. It's Warren. His chest has been blown open, his ribs pointing in every direction and the remains of his guts are dripping from the hole where his stomach used to be. Every inch of him is splattered in gore. He's missing one of his hands, the arm ending in a jagged point of bone instead. He opens his mouth to speak, revealing a mouth of pointed canine teeth. "Rook, you stupid bastard. I died for you. You." He bares his teeth and snarls at Rook, an animalistic sound that rattles him to his core. "We should have left you to rot in that fungi-infested hallway. You brought him to us," he glares pointedly at Sigmar. "You're the reason those two attacked us, attacked Cherry. You're the reason I'm dead. The reason Cherry won't ever have a father." Sigmar steps closer, looking Rook up and down. "Speaking of fathers, yours was right. You are a useless piece of shit." He spits in Rook's direction, then takes another step closer. Across the room, Warren moves to match him. "Traitor." "Liar," Sigmar adds as the two stalk closer. They're so close now, Rook can smell the scent of Warren's burnt flesh, of Sigmar's spilled blood. They're right in front of him now. He tries to shrink away, further into the corner, but to no avail. His limbs refuse to obey, and he stays frozen in place.

Sometimes a silly bird disguised as a human sits on a dragon's hoard of gold and tries to seduce him.

Doom is pretty pleased with the way her risque get-up turned out, if she might say so herself. It's certainly not what she's used to wearing - it's... more than a bit tight in certain areas - but hey, if it gets the desired results, then it'll be more than worth it.

It doesn't seem to be getting the desired results yet, and that's a bit disappointing. Not as disappointing as this nasty-ass carrot she's standing here gnawing on, but disappointing nonetheless. She'd forgotten how bitter raw carrots can be - in her opinion, at least - but that can be easily remedied, and perhaps she can also use that to her advantage to try to get more of a reaction out of Blue, since her reaction seems to be a little... flaccid so far.

She doesn't hear any whirring fans, at any rate.

Smirking, Doom pushes off from the wall she was leaning against and spawns in a bowl full of ranch dressing and slowly... dips the carrot into it... swirls it around a few times... brings it to her lips... licks it a little bit... then takes a bite out of it.

Snap, cronch.

Smiles.

"Nope, no convention. It's hot as fuck outside, haven't you noticed? I mean," she pauses to swallow, making it as noticeable as possible. Then does the whole routine with dipping the carrot and biting it all over again, "that suit was really hot."

This bunny outfit is hot too, but that is beside the point.

She continues casually. "Besides, if I'm gonna be out here fighting crime with you, it's high time i got my own strapping outfit, right? I was thinking of Black Rabbit of Death. What do you think, eh? Too much? Or should I get rid of something?"

And then she goes in for more of that carrot and ranch dressing.

Snap, cronch.

Grins.

I find it interesting how the short movies such as GotNF, Book of Dragon, Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon and Dawn of the Dragon Racers all perfectly adjust in with the cartoon series and keep the characterizations accordingly intact as if they are part of this ongoing continuity but the main movies later on don't do the same. I mean, the 2nd one does but not THW. It doesn't line up with anything that happened in the series, not the events, not the themes or characters or character developments or characters' experience etc. With the second movie, not including those side characters didn't make much of a difference because whatever was going on and the plot and action and storyline didn't go towards that, it wasn't necessary and the movie was great either way. It didn't even ruin the characterizations of side characters that much even with what they were doing.

But THW just... (What was the word? Can't remember) removed everything that happened in rob/dob and RTTE and it didn't make sense with the storyline. Like, what happened to the rest of the vast archipelago? The edge? The VARIOUS habitats of VARIOUS species, so many allies, so many islands, so many characters, so many gained experiences after dealing with villains far more dangerous and smarter than whoever that guy was I don't even remember the name of, what happened to that all of a sudden? It just makes zero sense and the plot was all over the place. No offense to THW fans but, there were just a few good things in the movie but a lot more nonsensical events and solutions which were absolutely ridiculous what with already established canon throughout the rest of the franchise

the fact that a large portion of Vento Aureo fans mostly just like la squadra is kinda weird to me. it's like we're looking at the same picture but we enjoy completely different things about it

a lot of my teachers this year have randomly complimented me on my writing even when the class largely has nothing to do with it and tbh??!??! it's really nice and it makes me want to write more?!?!?!!?!?!

man ls dunes just keeps making posts about recording those two songs huh

btw i love that everybody ( including myself ) decided that william immediately sits on the edge of henry's desk nearest him the second he enters his office. man who legally must get in the way and demand attention.

[livvyofthelake]

utterly cannot stand the type of post thats like "what are the female characters you like" and i KNOW it's not the fault of the people who make those posts i know they only do it because 95% of this site's blorbos are men. but i hate it anyway. like really the only way you can get fandom people to talk about women is to explicitly tell them to talk about women. and it always comes off so disingenuous because i KNOW most people reblogging those posts would never say those characters on a generic "what are your favorite characters" post. like it's all just so bleak :/

[bonestrouslingbones]

suddenly realizing that for the reboot one of the things that i think i Have to hammer in a bit more is the concept of LV as like. just a straight up addiction

oh brother. kinda sucks to have multiple creative interests and you can only do One but it's not the one you want to do at the moment </3

This man is the most boring man alive. This man is the human embodiment of one single hiccup. This man looks like a default digital avatar. This man’s soul is beige. This man, spiritually, is carpeted stairs. This man nods to music on the least intuitive beats. This man has the same vibe as the part of a piece of lined paper that is to the left of the vertical line, where you don’t write and don’t use except for the holes to attach it to a binder. This man is a marshmallow, if a marshmallow tasted like nothing. This man was probably born wearing khakis. This man has a noncommittal buzzcut, because heaven forbid any element of his appearance allude to some kind of personality. This man talks all day long every single day and somehow, against all odds, manages to say absolutely nothing. This man is an unsalted saltine cracker. This man is like if you searched a city for the most boring square of sidewalk, and then picked the second-most boring one, because even being the least remarkable would be a distinct trait. If the eyes are windows to the soul, this man’s windows are placed directly in front of a beige painted-over-brick wall, rendering them pointless. This man will not shut up about people being in a robot state and not paying attention to their surroundings, which is the absolute dumbest, most basic thing to talk about. This man seems to be labouring under the delusion that one hundred words is sufficient for a full literary passage. Were the sky paper and all the sea ink, this man would write a dry ass usage manual for something entirely unnecessary. This man’s voice is so uninteresting that not even the sharpest detective alive could pick him out of a lineup. This man is the worst.
