#no real cohesive thoughts

[warning-fandom-obsessed]

I haven’t watched yet but just seeing the way people are talking about “new/not Shannon” (her name is Kim btw) is so telling about how disposable the fandom (and the show!) view so many female characters. It took me ten whole minutes scrolling through people talking about Eddie in the new episode to find a post that called Kim by her name,,,,,

WORSTIES I cherish them. </33

I'm a contrarian little bitch with a terminal hunger for nuance so while I strongly dislike the convention of "top" and "bottom" being treated as innate, mandatory and mutually exclusive character roles in BL fiction and fandom culture (while not completely absent, I have noticed it's less of a problem in the yuri sphere) I also strife against the most common counterarguments being "real gay couples switch!" or the even worse version "[x character] loves [y character] so much, you really think they wouldn't switch for them?" because people can and do in fact have strict preferences or hard limits in real life and, I cannot stress this enough: someone's willingness to perform certain sex acts is not a measure of love.

Idk man maybe we have misidentified the problem as the superficial lack of switching rather than the actual issue of treating a sexual preference like a signifier for what kind of binary exclusive category person you are. It's not that real people never have preferences but that those preferences generally a) don't cleanly fit into a binary and b) don't say anything about who they are outside of that.

deep in the mines of solavellan playlists on spotify trying to pick a few songs to steal and wow do i not belong here. i’m sorry but a breathy woman crooning over 3 notes at 15bpm is simply not gonna do it for me

There's something with the fact that it was decided within a group that Jimmy would be the one to win Real Life, then everyone in that group died before anyone outside did, and Grian — who decided Jimmy should win — was the one who actually died first, that I don't think has been explored enough

known we were a system for about 7 years now, probably been a system for far longer, and just realised. we got an intrusive self-fakeclaiming thought today and laughed it away

i am having many thoughts on how Dazai's humanity has shifted from his pm days to now, at the ada, and how this has effected his relationships with various people in different ways and i--

personally I just think that everyone should be thinking about takanosuke shishiya and sakyo kurayami like all the time. is that because I am thinking about them like all the time? yes, but the point still stands

[autumnfangirler]

my guilty pleasure are those shitty mobile visual novel games that make you either watch an ad or pay EVERY 5-8(IF YOURE LUCKY!!!!) CHOICES. ALL OF THEM ARE IN TEXT MESSAGE FORMAT. THERES ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE THING THAT DOESNT REGISTER PROPERLY. LITERALLY WHO DO THESE GAMES THINK THEY ARE. I HAVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ROUTE AND ACHIEVEMENT COMPLETED IN 6 SEPARATE GAMES.

brooo I literally can't get over how much I love your concept 😭

im reading through your pinned post over and over again to help me write my Venom!Hobie inspired fanfic and its absolutely blowing my mind

you have a beautiful brain

also do you think venom!hobie, when the symbiote mostly takes him over, would eat people like cops or criminals by choice? or would he be against eating people at all

cuz I'm trying to have a scene where when he first gets taken over by venom he gets really hungry and the symbiote kind of takes over and when he wakes up he realizes he accidentally ate someone without even realizing

that sounds really stupid rn but I swear it'll sound better when I actually write it out I just want ur feedback 😭

much love <3

😭

AAHHHH Thank you so much!!! I don't even know what to say!! Just!!! Thank you SO MUCH you are so kind!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

(I'm still insanely happy that Venom!Hobie could inspire someone else to actually write a fic about him! Like how cool is that?!?)

imo Venom!Hobie can have a little cannibalism, as a treat

lol in all seriousness though, I personally like to think that even though the symbiote definitely has the upper hand when taking control, Hobie still gets to influence it in some smaller ways

- such as his hatred for cops in particular still shining through (the symbiote would be aware of Hobie's influense but it wouldn't really mind as long as it gets to eat some humans- food is food lol), but if he got really hungry and there weren't any cops around I'm not sure his influence would be strong enough to prevent them from targeting someone else... (again I'm just a sucker for angst, the thought of Hobie being driven so desperate by hunger that he just lets the symbiote do what needs to be done to make the hunger go away is just!!! 👌)

Of course Hobie himself would normally be against eating people- it's one thing to kill a cop (which he has done before). Killing a cop and eating the body is a whole other story. But I like the idea of the symbiote manipulating its host to an extent where they don't even realise how messed up their actions are!

(after all the symbiote would usually have to manipulate its host into killing someone first, since most spider people don't kill, and then it'd have to make its host eat the body as well! In Venom!Hobie's case the symbiote can pretty much skip step one since Hobie isn't against killing in the first place (as long as it's cops or something in that vein) so I feel like it could probably push Hobie to eat people as well. Wether or not Hobie is conscious/lucid while doing so could depend on the situation)

Hope this helps! 💜 If not, please let me know if there's something you want me to elaborate on, I sorta just start to ramble when I talk about this guy lol 😅 (I love your take on him so don't be afraid to do your own thing with him if you want!)

Also! That scene sounds so good!!!! 👀👌👀 Can't wait to read it!!!! Him waking up and realising he's eaten someone while not even being aware of it?!? Oh this is gonna be so good I just know it!!! 👀💜👀

Thank you so much for this ask (I'm always down to talk about Venom!Hobie!!!) and the kind words! They made my day 💜💜💜

So far I think im maybe liking this book's version of a.. sort of metanarrative slasher story a little more than chainsaw's

i should go to sleep

Helping a friend sort out feelings and the anger over issues in the D&D group and the reason why like one person left a while ago and the other person running a different game cancelled his game for a bit, and the group is falling apart, and we resolved some of the reasons at the end of 2 sessions ago but last session he hadn't gone and i gave a oh work excuse for him bc like... he kind of ghosted on all of us. Just no explanation to anyone.

And just like... I get his anger and it is justified. But also not talking to anyone involved or the person who set it off isn't good either. Like he got a message about not dampening thenkood after a good session, which it was. But also it was important to bring up the issues when everyone involved was there? like sorry bringing it up after a session was inconvenient but like... life isn't convenient?

It's not a good idea to let resentment and anger grow in silence??

Like ngl I'm all for avoiding difficult issues and emotions but also it's not healthy and not saying anything at all either way is not good. Either the resentment grows or hopefully things can change.

anyway that convo lasted until like 2 hours ago and i was sleepy then but I'm so awake now and filled with my own anxiety even tho I have things to do later. it's 3:30am and that is ridiculous.

it's my issue but also like... i swear if the one guy hadn't left a kind of dismissive message after the first discussion about not dampening the mood they would've probably at least discussed the issue before now. idek if they're going to doscuss it soon but it's been a month at this point.

🫠 Like I knew it hadn't ended well that discussion but it did need to be discussed and that was infact the best time bc we're all avoidant of issues until it becomes a real problem

[lovebugmusings]

i’ve decided to make my dnd character vaguely scottish and my accent is pretty good if i do say so myself

so what i’m saying is i would pester soap with my scottish accent and would happily take the consequences

// Taking a big step back from FF has been a shock to the system and its only been about 2 or 3 days, although I've been in a weird brainfog mess ever since, I really feel like an addict who's cut off from their addiction. Though chronic pain flare certainly isn't helping with keeping me sane at all. FF really has just been a big phat band-aid solution to cover up a fucktonne of stress and anxiety I've been Not coping with, while also, frankly, only adding to the pressure on top of it all.

That aside, its not what I want to ramble about right now and I'm getting off track. I'm feeling an odd little wave of clarity tonight. Starting to consider picking up writing again. I want to write pieces from the wretched man's perspective and give a little peek inside his head. The timeline would be all out of order, and probably even write it backwards. But. Go over a few of the things he's already been through.

How Marloix behaves outwardly and what he's thinking inwardly very frequently do not align. And for myself to play a character like this, when I tend to be a weenie who wears their heart on their sleeve is... a wild experience. So many times he would have gone through some truly touching and heartfelt moments ... if only he were someone else. There are still some touching moments though, regardless, but perhaps not entirely for the reasons anyone would think.

Anyway, idk if I'll actually find the time or get back into the headspace to write him again any time soon. I feel like I really blew a lot of things over with the mess I made right before I left. Its sort of painful to think about him right now, but I'm working to move past that and feel good again. I want to feel good about him again.

Warning: dragon breeding talk lol

The thought of Malleus getting jealous of prefect♀️ cuddling his baby plushie self is hilarious. But what if. What if it actually triggered his instincts instead.

What if his lizard brain identified the plushie as an infant and it started whispering in him "What if you make a real hatchling instead. Isn't it time for you to reproduce anyway. Since the child of man likes cuddling it against her bosom, that probably means she has strong maternal instincts. She probably wants your child. Come to think of it, she's smelling exceedingly wonderful recently. She wants to reproduce. Reproduce reproduce reproduce--"

So he had to smash his head against the wall to distract himself from the intrusive thoughts lol. Shocked and worried, the Diasomnia students would then fawn over him in the next few days to make sure he was okay. The annoyance did help him squash his animalistic thoughts away though.

Until 🌸 asked him one day, "Hornton, can we get bread on our way back?"

And he just. Spiraled. Because his lizard brain interpreted it as can we please breed and have ten babies asap?

"You... You want to breed with me? Right now?" He asked, not trusting his own mind.

"What? I said I wanna get bread."

I wanna get bred was the last cohesive thought he had before

"But 'breed' has a nice ring to it too," she teased.

Before all his rationality waved good bye.

For the few of you that watch both Our Flag and Metalocalypse and also follow me (One person for sure and maybe three others I tentatively think? If there's more of you, holy shit that's awesome I had no idea! But I digress)

Have you been at all haunted by the need to do compare/contrasts with Dethklok and their themes (and especially all the Murmaider songs, water overall, togetherness/emotional openness and vulnerability, forgiveness, etc) and Our Flag?

Because I am. So Haunted and it's a good thing but it makes me !!!! Water as safety and restoration and freedom (since Dethklok often records their best work on/in the sea, even with varying results for everyone else potentially involved, so with them it's a freedom to detach from the creative expectations of anyone other than themselves and the crew with them.) Fucking! Murmaider and Nathan and Ed and the power one can hold out on/in relation to the water (I could go on entirely too long about this. This is the fifth parenthetical I've written for this because the first four were entirely too wordy.)

If I don't stop typing now it'll just be an entire essay on all of these but !!!!!
