Im curious about what is cannon and fannon in the AC fandom. Ive read many different origins for the scar Desmond has, but most people go with Bill being the one to give it to him. Is this because its cannon from a little known source(similiar to the fact that AltaĆÆr can swim, as seen in the 3ds games, but most people make him unable to swim despite the fact) or is it widely accepted fannon? What about Masyaf castle? Ive read some fics about it being an Abstergo facility with the Templars having opened the Library, while others write it is just been left to time. And ofc cant forget Eagle Vision. Is it a unique ability to AltaĆÆr only? Did his father have it too? Did every novice have to master it before becoming an assassin?
There could be others, but these are the facts that im mostly curious about. Thank you for answering. ^^
So Iām gonna break this into sections so I donāt have to think about scene transition or whatever rambling equivalent that has.
AltaĆÆr Can Swim
We all accept that he canāt swim because thatās funny. However, if we take into consideration how AltaĆÆr can swim as seen in his āsequelā, this is pretty much the complete opposite of āAltaĆÆr has never been hitā status that he has in the fandom. They both causes desyncing so if we believe in āAltaĆÆr has never been hitā then itās not that AltaĆÆr canāt swim, itās that āAltaĆÆr never slipped or fell into the watersā which actually points more to AltaĆÆr being a badass. But we decided that AltaĆÆr not being able to swim is a much funnier idea and went to town with it XD
Bill Being The Reason Desmond Has His Scar
Okay, so ngl, I also liked to write that Bill is the reason Desmond has a scar, either directly or indirectly (I mostly go for indirectly with another kid being the reason why he has a scar but Bill was there āsupervisingā), mostly because I like the plot point that getting the scar is the thing that finally snaps Desmond and got him to leave the Farm ārandomlyā.
Anyway, the canon/fanon blur a lot in this one as there are enough people that believe Bill made the scar as seen by this post.
My thoughts on that is pretty much summarized in the tags I left in that one:
#wait it's official? #or did we as a fandom just collectively saw how bill treated desmond and went #ah yes he's why desmond has that scar #seriously i hc it and it makes sense narratively for bill to be the reason why desmond has a scar #whether from training or by accident #but i don't remember it being even implied in any games #especially in ac rev where it could have easily been added in
To add to that, Iām talking about AC Revelations specifically because of Desmondās rant in an early scene where he finally shouts at Bill for being a bad father. That was the perfect time to just drop that bombshell of Bill being the reason why Desmond has his scar but we didnāt get that. Thatās the main reason why I donāt think itās canon that Bill is the reason why Desmond got his scar but thereās 3 more scenes in AC Revelations where he could have talked about it, all of them from Desmondās memories scenes.
I also talked about how I couldnāt find any evidence of Bill being the reason that Desmond got his scar in this post.
But the summary is I tried looking for any information about it in the books, pamphlet, manuals and references I had (I say āhadā because I had to leave them back in my old home after I moved due to space constraints TTATT), only focusing on any mentions of Desmond and Bill
Assassin's Creed Limited Edition Art Book (p40-41)
Assassin's Creed The Complete Visual History (p290 -292) - p291 has the line "... Desmond's father, William, adds an element of family drama..." calling it family drama sounds like an understatement considering how Bill and Desmond act around each other
Assassin's Creed The Essential Guide (p14, 66, 161, 218-219, 236, 238, 240) - this book is so weird. P218 says that Bill and Gavin shared the mentor role after the Great Purge, p237 says that only Bill took the mentor role (but didn't call himself the mentor) after the Great Purge
Assassin's Creed Atlas (p159, 165)
Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia (White Version) (p18, 158-183)
Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia (White Version - JP ver) (p18, 158-183)
Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia (Black Version - JP ver) (p17, 113-127) - The Black Version is an older version, only going as far as AC Revelations + The Fall comics, The White Version has up to 3 + Liberation
No mentions at all about Desmond's relationship with Bill in the following:
That short game manual that's inside the game disc for AC1-AC3 (JP ver)
Assassin's Creed Reference Guide (JP)
Assassin's Creed Perfect Guide (JP)
Assassin's Creed 2 Reference Guide (JP)
Assassin's Creed Archive Book (JP)
In conclusion:
The most I got can be summarized from Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia, p182
"... driven, intelligent but emotionally distant father of Desmond Miles..." " ... technically minded man, fully devoted to the Assassins and their cause, whose passion for politics outweighs his responsibility to his family. While William's wife has always been able to deal with this emotional distance, young Desmond could not. Eventually he grew to feel that his father was more of a drill sergeant than a parent and fled the compound, despite his parents' repeated warnings to never leave."
If Bill did directly or indirectly cause Desmond's scar, I could not find it in the official books I have or even on Desmond's or Bill's AC Wiki page.
Unless someone can point out where it officially states that Bill caused Desmond's scar, I believe the whole "Bill is the reason for Desmond's scar" is AC fandom's own Mandela Effect. Most probably something that started as a headcanon (and for a very good reason) and is commonly used by fanfic writers (including me) which has evolved as a Word of Dante that we, as a collective, have mistaken as a Word of God.
Masyafās Current Situation
Thereās no official note of the current situation of Masyaf in the modern days and I think Ubisoft would probably not do anything about it narrative-wiseā¦ Iād honestly be surprised if they did anything about it if they make an AC1 Remake. Now, itās a bit nebulous if the Templars did manage to get the library but it should be noted that the last time we see AltaĆÆrās Apple, Ezio let it stay in the library and the ACR novel gave us:
āThe bookshop was used as an outpost for the Assassins, and Ezio stored the Masyaf Keys in the chamber where he had found the first key, underneath the bookshop.ā
If the Templars got into the bookshop then theyāll find all the keys and would have everything they needed to get into the library.
Howeverā¦
The Apple would find itself in the hands of Queen Elizabeth I and Mahatma Gandhi before falling into Templar hands.
As far as I can see, Queen Elizabeth I isnāt a Templar so itās highly possible that the British Empire did their usual āfinders keepersā thing and this wasnāt a nefarious Templar plan. So either Ezio got the Apple out of Masyaf and hid it somewhere else that would later be found by someone (maybe John Dee?) or Ezioā¦ just left it in Masyaf?
I wanna give Ezio the benefit of the doubts and believe that he knew leaving it in Masyaf would be such a bad idea so the Apple was most probably transferred somewhere else.
Which means that Masyaf was completely abandoned by the end of Ezioās era which Ezio would have believed be something that AltaĆÆr wanted to happen.
I realized now Iām rambling further and further away from the actual topic for this section.
In conclusion: we have no idea if Masyaf is abandoned or occupied by the Templars in modern day. I will also add if itās occupied by Templars, it might be a secret ābaseā or itās affiliated with a non-Abstergo Entertainment section of Abstergo because, as far as I can see, Abstergo Entertainmentās headquarters are based on existing Ubisoft headquarters (ex: Black Flagās Abstergo Entertainment is in Montreal = Ubisoft Montreal)
Personally, I think that Abstergo would take over Masyaf castle either officially or unofficially as a way to show the Brotherhood how they hold one of the most important locations in their history. Thatās the kind of power play the current Inner Sanctum would do.
(It would be funny in a āthatās fucked upā kind of way if Masyaf is an Abstergo secret facility that does experimental work with captured Assassins as guinea pigs which they have done in the Philadelphia facility (Fall comics) and Madrid (AC Movie))
Eagle Vision
It was actually never explicitly stated who had Eagle Vision and who hadnāt but itās noted that humans, in general, have the capability to unlock Eagle Vision although there are humans who has an easier time unlocking it.
AC1 noted that the Levantine Assassins knew about AltaĆÆrās Eagle Vision but thereās no evidence to suggest that they have it as well. Most of the time, they just tell AltaĆÆr to use his vision without saying if they have it as well or not.
(itās just personal preference to write that 12th century Assassins, both in Masyaf and Alamut, would have some form of Eagle Vision to show how much the Brotherhood had āfallenā in the modern day. Canon actually points that only a small number of people can access Eagle Vision)

As a non homestuck, what deos that meanš
ough i wanted to be vague and quick but no i wasn't im so sorry fnsdmag tw for transphobia mostly i guess
homestuck ends. it's a somewhat open ended ending and they dont show the "proper" final battle, but it was implied in the comic already how it was going to go. a lot of people remained disappointed in that, but i personally think its a good one
people keep pestering hussie, creator of the comic, to continue the story
hussie, well known troll (haha) who more often than not both praised and made fun of the fandom directly in the comic, writes the epilogues. they're mostly awful and they're the umpteenth big fuck you to the fandom really; one is the "shipping" ending where everything goes bad bc everyone focuses only on shipping, the one is the "fighting" ending where everything goes bad and everyone fucking dies basically. it has some good ideas, there's more fourth wall breaking, but overall its an inconsistent sexist and misoginistic mess made out of spite by someone who clearly didn't want to work on homestuck anymore
it also features character assassination, be it "this character who's entire plot was about not wanting to be alone anymore is now a sex-crazed maniac who doesnt take no as an answer", "this character who was groomed all her life to be a dictator actually becomes hitler" or "this character who a lot of people hc as mtf is now ftm, but specifically in a timeline, in the other they still identify as female". you could argue it's bc the story is about one of the characters having a villain arc and managing to take control of the story and rewrite them, but he's also regressed to be someone who's obsessed with a character we were told he wasn't in love with anymore AND also says transphobic stuff so.
hussie actually opens the epilogues with one of the character saying pretty clearly that they're "beyond canon", and makes sure that everyone known that anything written outside of the comic itself, including sidecomics, videogames and the epilogues themselves, is as canon as you want it to be. unfortunately homestuck fans cant read and that + the fact that the epilogue end in a cliffhanger, homestuck 2 has to happen
hussie wants nothing to do with it and leaves the project to someone else. they give little to no details of the plot if not a few plotpoints, one of which being the fact that a character must be named yiffany
one of the people who was supposed to work on hs2 and the tie-in visual novel games "friendsim" starts fights with readers on twitter and is later on outed as a really bad person of the biphobic and ableist variety
on a minor note, some updates are patreon exclusive, and not in a "they'll eventually be posted" way, but in a "either you follow the patreon or you dont get the whole experience" kind of way
the story also has to follow the aformentioned sexist transphobic racist bullshit, to which they add terribly written "bury your gays" plot and also cheating!! no matter the timeline my girl kanaya gets shafted and cheated on and by now im gonna be real it really smells like lesbophobia in here
also futa jokes. like we all agree that the candy jade situation is fucked up right
in all of this, "what pumpkin" actually starts drama with a youtuber or something. idk. it's the team that sells the hs merch it's even more complicated. oh and also the videogame being so delayed that's a whole can of worms too.
anyway hussie actually says that they dont give a shit no more about homestuck and sell the rights to someone else. first thing we're told is that they're going to drop the 2 from the title of homestuck 2, turning it into homestuck: beyond canon. pretty much openly saying that no, this has nothing to do with homestuck, and it's officially Not Canon.

Here's a blurb of a fan fic I'm thinking on writing I got the idea of from a post saying Danny takes Damian away from the LoA
Danny knew it was a bad idea. Had he had other bad ideas before yes but never as stupid as this. Really what was he thinking taking a child from a group of cultist. To be fair no one was watchung the child so finders keepers right? The fact the Danny was watching for years and memorized the shift change of the kids keepers,waiting for a chance means nothing. Add to the fact that Danny took advantage of the attack on the compound also means nothing.
The child in dannys arms was asleep a feat that was only managed by being by the boys side through out the years. Danny was meant to protect the boy the heir to the demon head, at first he was doing so because he was summoned for the child through ritual to keep the boy alive. He was born to early his mother poisned and had the baby via c section the baby was born to early and was put in an incubator with lazarus waters to keep him alive but the water wasnt doing much eles. He was alive but not growing.Ā
Deaspret the demon head sumonded him but it was hs daughter that spoke trying to get him to agree to a ridiculous deal. In the end it wasnt the deamon head or his dughter that convinced him to save the child but the child himself. The easy he floated in the tube was heart breaking. He looked so small and fragile and knew that the child could not grow up hear alone but he also knew that he couldnt just take the child right away, he wasnt 14 anymore he to be carful abought this.
I can saved the child but their will be a priceĀ
Of course we are ready to pay the price we wouldnt have summoned you if we wernt redy to pay it ā she looked straight at him but not at his face eniterly, brave women in this form he knows he looks to other worldy to be looked at properlyā
You say that now but i dont think you understand fully but neverthe less you are agreeing to pay without knowing the cost who am i to tell you to read the fine printĀ
A life for a life isnt that the way these types of deals go?Ā Regruedless we have you bound to our compound so you cant leave without agreeing to our termsĀ
Yes but no, some others would go that route but im differen so to t speak you would say im special. You already ave me here to save his life what more can you want
Until recently we had a body guard for my heir but cains child has failed her mision and never returned so shes no use to us we are also commanding you to be the boys body guard until he comes demons head himselfĀ

thank for you for reply, apologies for sendin again, can you tell im hyperfixating?
i dont know if you exactly think of her like this but, HUGE hc that robins a flip. listen HEAR ME OUT PLEASE, āmama robinā and ābaby birdā nicknames the crew bestowed upon her
i have so many hc for her in a agere situation, shes definitely a kid who has her good and bad days, sometimes she just wants to- needs to be alone because of trauma, and other days shes with them, shes a quiet little lady, but shes there just happy in the crews presence and reading. or maybe shes trying to break out of her shell and try to play a game with chopper, nami, or maybe on a really good day: sanji too. (usopp & luffy, she loves them, theyre just a bit too overwhelming together when shes little.)
i feel like it took her awhile to tell the crew about it, shes always been secretive, shes always had to be. but she realizes; āthese are my nakama, they wouldnt hurt meā and just ups and tells them all randomly at dinner in a usual robin fashion
i cant imagine how that conversation would go but shed just all off a suddenly randomly drop that fact about her and everyones like ā????ā
and for cg robin well,
she would definitely read them stories no doubt about that. shes crack open a book, set her baby on her lap, their head on her shoulder and gently read them a fable or short story until they fall asleep.
or minor hc that when sanjis is like really little and robin has to cook the crew their dinner that night, sheāll set sanji up by her feet while she cooks so she can get things done, and sanji doesnt get upset because hes all alone :( (hes also in his kitchen which makes him happy as can be!)
^ or when hes on the bigger side robin will let him help her cook.
āSanji, honey, can you pass me the oregano?ā
āACK! Robin ew no!!ā
āoh dear! what should i use then?ā
āumā¦ ādis one!ā
im done for mow i promise! i dont wanna chew your ear off but i hope you enjoy! thank you<33
š·
My dear anon I will take all of the ramblings always there is no need for apologies! >:3
Considering how much I have been posting about my current brain rot with demon slayer I get you 100% with the hyperfixations. If you want to send more in I would love to hear and add to them, your messages have made me super happy and have given me a lot to think over /pos Making me want to get back into writing a one piece fic. I need to make more with the babies!
Oh my gosh youāre so right. She would just randomly over dinner tell everyone about her regressing.
I can imagine someone like Usopp or Sanji that took forever to tell the crew and had so much mental prepping and making sure everything was perfect just to see her just out of the blue would probably be so shocking to them.
Letting Sanji be with her in the kitchen, thatās such a cute idea you have no clue how much I love that. I have such a soft spot for Robin and him truly. Probably my favorite little caregiver duo if I am being honest.
Okay but she would also be so good at playing pretend with him. Opening a pretend restaurant with a bunch of stuffed animals as customers, making orders for the little one to fill out and stuff. Ooh or if they are both small playing school
Also, idea, lil Robin, going up to her crewmates with a book in hand and just holding it out to them without saying anything. She wants someone to read to her and is too shy to ask.
Sanji and Nami would without doubt. Luffy would probably get bored half way or reading the actual words and start going off of the pictures and making up his own story. Zoro who is absolutely clueless at first and ends up rejecting her just because he doesnāt understand. Franky would do the best voices. Jinbei the best at picking really good bedtime stories and reading them.

hi apologies if youve alr made a post abt this (if u have, then maybe u can add a link to that specific post?) but i just wanted to ask for ur perspective bc this is smth i keep getting hung up on and i rlly only trust u to answer:
why would abolishing gender be harmful to trans ppl if transphobia stems from emphasis on traditional gender roles, and the abolishment would further their focus on relieving dysphoria thru physical sex change instead of relieving it by having to conform to sociological femininity and masculinity as a means to adapt in this patriarchal society?
thank you for taking the time to read and answer this <3
no worries! i haven't made a post about this before since no one's asked, but i'll answer it right here for you.
the answer is, it wouldn't be harmful. abolishing gender would ultimately be the best for everyone, but especially lgbt people & women. however... the contextualization of this point is what makes or breaks it. let me explain--
trans people have a negative reaction when people discuss abolishing gender not only for the same reason cis people might (a kneejerk reaction to protect the status quo), but also for the very valid reason of wanting to defend transness in a transphobic society. it's the same reason why some gay people will react negatively to the fact that homosexuality is a social construct, and therefore cannot be innate; most people use this argument to justify homophobia & patriarchy.
the thing is, to abolish gender, sex must also be abolished as it's the primary method of naturalizing gender. sex is a social construct-- it's not natural. however, terfs and any garden variety conservative will reify gender through the naturalization of sex. they'll say, "cis women and men are natural, but trans people aren't. therefore, they must be eliminated." similarly, "heterosexual people are natural, but gay and bi people aren't. therefore, they must be eliminated." eliminated can mean killed or, forcibly dissolved into the "natural" categories via bullshit self-loathing propaganda.
a really easy way to understand why this is so upsetting to trans people is just comparing their situation to gay people or women's, really, as they are so similar. if you walked up being like "wow i cant wait for gays to be abolished<3" ofc people will assume you mean it in a homophobic sense rather than a complicated, radical feminist sense, and if you're focusing on the abolition of minority groups in particular, it does likely stem from bigotry. not saying that you've said anything like that lol, but those examples are the best way i can illustrate the point.
also, everyone on the internet hates radical feminism, so regardless of how eloquently you explain your point & how sensible it is, if you associate it with radical feminism people will ignore what you say, misinterpret you so severely that it seems deliberate but could very well be internet stupidity, and also throw tomatos at you. š radfems, matfems & a handful of marxist, anarchist, intersectional fems + womanists are the only ones i trust to not be covert antifeminists.
last p.s.: we don't know what a society outside of patriarchy looks like. assuming people will continue getting sex changes assumes the existence of a natural sex binary, though it's possible people may change "sex" characteristics as they please. trans people's issue is not only being forced into gender roles, but a hatred of transness which puts them into a catch-22 regarding survival under patriarchy-- they're "reifying patriarchy" if they transition, but plagued with dysphoria, martyrs to a post-patriarchal world centuries away from us if they don't. perhaps, a similar scenario would be if you told a gay or straight person to simply see people as gender/sexless and to experience attraction, to give affection as though we lived in a post-patriarchal society-- it just wouldn't be possible, and for the gay person who is particularly vulnerable under patriarchy, it would more likely be traumatizing. dworkin put it so succintly in woman hating...
i hope that wasn't too repetitive or long, i just wanted to be thorough. admittedly, this is kind of a loaded answer if you aren't familiar with sex as a social construct, so if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
#trans inclusive radical feminism#radical feminism#asks#ex-terf#ex terf#tirf#trans inclusive radfem#sex abolition#gender abolition#transphobia#i love to quote Dworkin Quote which expresses everything i wanted to say but shorter and better lmao#i am obsessed with this quote istg. but i also am with many other dworkin quotes and her in general...#her succinctness is truly something to be envied. i simply keep on rambling and talking in circles forever#i was gonna make a joke about how dworkin wouldnt mind because mackinnon was also quite long winded loll#but mackinnon is succint she just also uses a lot of big words that makes it seem . longer ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ļ潚š#reading mackinnon is kind of like when you put your tickets into the chuck e cheese ticket eater guy machine#because thats how my brain sounds like when i read mackinnon its a lot to process#very good but i am going to need some time and a dictionary to digest this#perhaps this is why i prefer dworkin and hooks-- the accessibility of them managed without blunting their incisiveness & insight

finally an intro post!
hello!!! ive finally decided to make an intro post.. its a miracle. my name is oisĆn (pronounced osh-een), but you can also call me mavey or will! im 19 years old and i use mirror pronouns. mirror pronouns means i want you to use your own pronouns on me! if you do not do that, masc terms and pronouns are preferred.
this will mainly be a blog dedicated to my artwork! im in various fandoms, but most importantly, my hero academia, milgram, kuroshitsuji, alien stage, and love live! i will be posting fandom related content, hcs, and ocs for everything listed, and maybe for some other sources hehe
while these posts will be rare, i am part of a did system and i may post about that from time to time. this is also a strict message saying endogenic systems or supporters are not welcome.
eventually, once this blog is much more active and full of content, i will add a list of my ocs here for easy navigation! for now, know i have two relevant ocs. conrĆ, a kuroshitsuji reaper oc, and chiyo, a my hero academia hero oc! their posts are towards the bottom of my page :) i will post about them frequently because my ocs are so special to me LOL
DNI / BYF
now its time for the insanely annoying but very necessary section of info.. yay :/
starting with my DNI, obviously basic dni. if youre going to be an asshole, my blog is not the place for it. as previously mentioned, endogenic systems or supporters are not welcome. proshippers and especially s*baciel shippers are nottt welcome, i am extremely strict on that. i find content related to it immensely upsetting. other than that, just dont be weird and id love to have you on my page!
as for my BYF, please be aware that i am disabled and severely visually impaired. i may take long unannounced breaks due to the fact that drawing and sitting in the same position for long periods of time often causes my chronic pain to flair up. i also will make frequent spelling mistakes or swap words with other words because of my visual impairment. it makes it somewhat difficult to see what im typing. i try my best to correct it when it happens, but if i dont, ask for clarification and i will explain! i am autistic and this makes it difficult for me to text others because i cant exactly read the situation accurately and determine how i should respond. id love to make friends on here, but be aware i will leave you on read for periods of time. ill eventually respond, please be patient!
other info
to finish this off im just gonna yap :3 if u read all this, thank you!!
i am relatively new to tumblr and im not yet adjusted to how this app really works. please be patient with me! to be entirely honest, my main reason for making an account was to see what my lovely sister posts LOL
if you think im totally freaking awesome and would like to be friends, just let me know!!! spins around

Cursed Drabble meta post because i cant help myself sometimes
while i dont think i nailed the vibe for the tumblr reader x celebrity self-insert fan fiction (mainly because i just Could not get through a single fic without dying of cringe. im sorry i do not vibe with this genre in the slightest for reasons that are probably evident in how i wrote that fic) and its probably more wattpad / quotev fanfic tier, i think i did pull off the standard tropes for those sorts of fics
like how the self-insert is supposed to be a blank slate for anyone to, well. self-insert into, but they're always very obviously written to be (cis) women. and the author can't decide if they want their self-insert to be meek and easily smitten, or sassy and genre-aware, as well as simultaneously living the fantasy of having a glamorous lifestyle that people would be jealous of, but she's also totally just an ordinary girl you guys. see, she's got average looks!
and also the combination of fulfilling the fantasy of 'what if my dream man saved me from a scary situation like gross dudes hitting on me', and the fact that the love interest is... often not written that much better than the bad guys lmao. the 'i saw you from across the room and immediately fell in love and wanted to protect you because you are so beautiful' seems to be popular in self-insert fics from what i skimmed through, but a lot of the time the dudes always come across as creepy to me. but in this fic sharle is using french terms of endearment so clearly he is sexy and romantic and not also a weird sleaze, duh
i died the most writing every single piece of sharle's dialogue but also the descriptions talking about how hot he is, btw. the line about the reader imagining his hands choking someone and them smelling his intoxicating scent in his bedsheets both made me want to hurl LMFAO props to people who can write that shit, id rather swan dive off a cliff thanks (tho the hand focus is also due to me listening to that read-through of the foxhole court and the video essayist mentioning how often the characters in that story grabbed each other by the chin. i was just like 'ok yeah i need more hand stuff in this people eat that shit up')
the warnings at the start are there solely because when i was scrolling through the tumblr tags for reader self-inserts i saw quite a few that warned for swearing which i thought was funny since like. this is a 13+ website. you can say the fuck word here and not get in trouble. apart from the cringy dialogue i wouldnt say anything in the fic actually merits a warning, but i felt like i needed to add the other stuff to keep it true to the formatting style that is common for tumblr self-insert fic
the bit with ropikk at the end definitely breaks the illusion and probably turns the fic into some 'lol well that just happened' marvel '''humour''', but tbh i just wanted to include a 'he would not fucking say that' joke and needed to write a palate cleanse LMAO you can pretend that last paragraph doesn't exist if you dont like the immersion-breaking
anyways uh. this was a lot of words i wrote to explain my stupid drabble i wrote as a joke and because people voted for something cursed. you can't say i half-ass anything lmao

This post will mostly be to my irl friends but even if you have no clue who i am you can keep readingšš
Warning: the rest of this will contain topics such as, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, xenophobia etc.
Also please excuse my grammar and writing style. Im just writing down my thoughts.
I don't really know how to start this. I have been thinking about writing this for a long time. But today i finally decided to do it.
I live with my parents and (half) sister who's in college.
The problem is my dad.
No, he's not abusive, at least i don't think of him as abusive. That may sound strange but i genuinely don't know if he is and im just so immune to it that i don't think of it as abuse or if im just overreacting .
The real problem is his memtality.
He was born in the very late 60's so yes he is in fact old.
He has this mentality that he is right and EVERYBODY else is wrong. Everyone in my house has acknowledged this. Except him obviously.
Unfortunately (as some of you may have already realised based on the warnings) he is in fact xenophobic.
He is very very transphobic. For example:
"don't you think it wierd that people are out there pretending to be the other gender?"
"its either she or he, there is no they"
"this kind of 'stuff' wasn't around when i was your age"
Yes these are all direct quotes from him.
There are many many more that i cant think of right now but if i do remember any more i will add them.
Also, i know this is an age old argument but, ehat do you have against trans people? They arent bothering you? If anything YOU are the ones bothering them.
Anyways.
That's only his transphobic side.
We've barley touched his homophobic side.
Now, i will say the is very slightly more accepting of, this commumity than trans people.
Slightly.
By slightly i mean he dosent sit me down after seeing thr word "nonbianary" on the back of one of thr books my friend lent me and tell me all about these "odd people" that are-LIVING THEIR LIVES WITHOUT YOU BOTHERING THEM.
Exuse me.
A little cough came out there.
Also yes "odd people" is another direct quote.
Continuing on.
Sexism.
This one is very very vague because he's only given me a sexist vibe a few times but it still bothers me.
StOrY tImE
I was telling my dad about some of thr fights at my school and his legit resposlnse whaen i told him a teacher had gotten involved was "sometimes boys need to fight and i know your school will never agree with me but its true"
As you can see, very much a self believe that he is the only right person to ever exist on earth.
Another example:
I was telling him about some of my friends breaking up (platonically) and moving lunch tables because they weren't talking to each other anymorw.
" you see that happen a lot, girls fighting, but you just get used to it"
Like ?
He grew up with two other brothers, no sisters. How many women did you watch fight?
Also kinda off topic but he seems oddly against Chinese peopleš
Idk what he has against them but he just...doesn't like them?
Anyways thank you for comin to my ted talk about all my dads problems.
I will update this if i ever feel the need to.

stupid shit under a read more
somehow, just as pride month is starting, it has managed to become hostile on this website. not in regards to pride, but in the circles of people on my dash.
and i will be attributing that to one dumbass famous asshole motherfucker, but iām also gonna attribute that to people actually believing that the personalities we put out to other people on the internet are the whole truth, and believing you know whatās going on in everyoneās minds. and i will, also, attribute it to the fact that none of you can just be fucking normal without sending each other anon hate. iāve seen hate being sent to people from both sides of a stupid fucking issue, and itās really, dreadfully disappointing. it makes all of you look like idiots. and the vaguingās just as annoying.
iāve been on this website for literally? 14 years. with this same account. this exact same blog. my entire teenage and adult life is on here. iāve grown as a person here. a Lot. and yet, now, probably because of some personal shit iāve dealt with in the outside world as well, iām finally thinking of taking a real fucking break. and that SUCKS. because iāve always liked it here. but i think, for now, i need to stay off for a while. im gonna take my own advice.
its so funny bc i was gonna try to let the stupid punk shit go and then a vague from a mutual about āif you wanna know whatās going on with stu and uno breaking up watch rohā was what broke my camelās back lol just because i reblogged something about tony breaking up uno and stu and tagged it with ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½WHATā like i cant even tag shit with my thoughts without being fucking condescended to through a vague lmao. so yeah. it took 14 years but ive had enough of other people on here. gonna try to make friends in real life ok. emphasis on try
Iāll be back in time for Hangmanās birthday week. and by that i mean iāll probably just queue my posts and try to reblog everyoneās, because iāll be out of the country then anyway.
gonna try to add some stuff in the queue to last a few days but weāll see. if i make hangman gifs, iāll post them to the gif blog as usual but i wonāt reblog them here. donāt wanna deal with this blog right now.
bye for now, yāall

iāve had this thought rotting in my brain ever since mitski dropped The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We so im gonna dump it onto tumblr but first of all
SPOILER WARNING FOR LAND OF THE LUSTROUS / HOUSEKI NO KUNI !!!! PLEASE READ THE MANGA <3
also i would like to add a second warning that this post may not make a lot of sense grammatically :3 currently am not lucid enough to make a lot of sense :3
i think that the song When Memories Snow can describe a lot of phosā character arcs and their progression eerily well like if you were to make a phos animatic to this song it would line up so perfectly
okay first of all i would like to point out the general connection between this song and the gems. i have not analysed mitskiās song by itself, and so i dont know what she intended behind When Memories Snow, so maybe the āmemoriesā could straight up be a metaphor for something and not actual memories but thats not what weāre gonna talk about rn !! we know that the gemās memories are stored in the physical gem pieces themselves, so if they lose a body part they lose parts of their memories. phos has their whole thing with losing their body parts (and effectively their memories) and becoming a completely different person and all that good stuff
oki now the lyrics :3
āwhen memories snow // and cover up the driveway // i shovel all those memories // clear the path to drive to the storeā
this gives me the vibes of post-winter phos after theyve lost antarc. the first two lines really remind me of whenever phos would just have random hallucinations of antarcās death over and over again in the anime and the other two lines remind me of how they would basically have to just ignore the hallucinations and keep going on with their life. i would also like to add that while i do think that HNK is an amazing story and that the anime adaptation is honestly so perfect, i also think that there isnt a lot of focus on the fact that phos should not be able to remember jackshit ??? yknow ??? the way that canonical phos just keeps going on with life just kind of fits well with how nonchalant the line āclear the path to drive to the storeā feels to me
āand when memories melt // i hear them in the drainpipe // drippin through the downspout // as i lie awake in the darkā
okay so i originally sent a bunch of my interpretations to a friend and i said that this part really fits with phosā trauma with losing antarc. the way that these lines are phrased gives the vibes of when its late at night and youre tired but the clock is ticking too loudly and you just cant sleep. but now reading these lines again, i feel like it resonates more with how, once again, phos has lost like so many memories they cannot remember jackshit anymore. their memories have melted, but theyre still lingering and they still cling onto phos. a good example of this would be when phos wakes all the other gems up at the end of their hibernation and phos forgets who cinnabar is for a moment, the same cinnabar that was phosā whole motivation for the first half of season 1. also the āas i lie awake in the darkā basically describes how phos refused to sleep during the second half of the season
ok verse 2 !!
āand if i break // could i go on break?
THIS IS THE MOST PHOSPHOPHYLLITE CODED LINE OF THE ENTIRE SONG !!! to me at least :3 not only does this line apply to them in a literal sense, with phos being the second weakest gem and them breaking a crazy amount of times throughout the whole series, ābreakingā also applies to them in a mental sense. i get two different images when i think of this line, the first one being that one scene in the anime (and manga too? maybe? idk its been a while :() where phos is thinking about kongo and the lunarians and everything and they start cracking and their alloy just explodes out of them. i think thats the closest to a mental breakdown a gem has ever experienced at that point. the second image i get is when,,, phos becomes like,,, yk phosā shattered / monster form whatever you call it,,, thats what i think of
ābe back in my room // writing speeches in my headā
i think this goes back all the way to pre-trauma phos. āwriting speeches in my headā could represent their encyclopaedia job?? but i think its a better metaphor for their want to join in with the other gems in fighting the lunarians. part of them knows itāll never happen, so they resort to daydreaming about what it would be like
ālisteninā to the thousand hands // that clap for me in the darkā
connecting with my last point, they want the feeling of accomplishment and the general coolness of being able to fight and they want the praise from kongo and the other gems.
also this image doesnt connect very well, but i think of the god-like phos form when i think of these last two lines. this is the only time in the series where everyone finally has to depend on phos for once, and phos isnt deemed as āuselessā or a problem. of course the context is super tragic but idk just a thought
okay phos and mitski rant over !!!
#land of the lustrous#houseki no kuni#spoilers#hnk spoilers#i wrote this instead of studying for physics :(

I also think the Sopranos is much more cynical than Breaking Bad and it only gets progressively more nihilistic throughout its run..I'm really glad you're at Whoever Did This, it's one of my absolute favourites, that second half especially is ingrained into my brain..I cant wait till you reach the s4 finale
It was SUCH an amazing episode!!! The fact that it only happened mid-season too really does add that the feeling of nihilism, that such a shocking thing can happen randomly and with no meaningā¦I just read in itās entirety men, women and chainsaws and thereās a section where the author describes the effectiveness of a āperverse simplicityā which I think really applies here (Iāll try to post the excerpt later today)
And now Iām very excited now to see the season finale!! The season has gotten so intense, I already know what is happening with Adriana is going to. devastate me oh god

i dont like how so many stories these days try to present themselves in an ARG format mainly because they are doing so by posting on social media websites which is Really limiting in terms of.. idk theres probably a word for this but im in bed about to sleep and cant be assed to look it up but like, supplemental storytelling? through elements other than the actual raw text of the story? im speaking in terms of text-based here but this is for any form of media like theres the straightforward Information being delivered to your brain and then there are things surrounding that information. and oftentimes that surrounding set dressing is like. the twitter sidebar. you know? its something you dont have control over. and that means you cant do one of the coolest things made possible by multimedia Digital Age Storytelling which is establish a framing pattern and then break it. of course there are non-digital things that do this too (i hear tell that the watchmen graphic novels do this but ive never read them myself) but its so intuitive to do it on the web. homestuck (SIGHHH) for all its bullshit does this really well by setting up Here is where the panel goes and Here is the text underneath it and This button shows/hides more text and This is the navbar on the top with all the links and then it proceeds to fuck with all of those elements to add more punch to the story. the panels get really wide so you have to scroll them and the background changes color and the links at the top get overwritten when the narrative framing changes and sometimes these collapse buttons dont actually work or dont have dialogue in them or Whatever!! and there are a lot of stories out there being written Right Now that contain Vastly Better Content than homestuck but they are losing some je ne sais quoi because they are happening in like, twitter threads, and on youtube and stuff. genuinely makes me sad how personal websites have been outcompeted by social media. and yes i do Enjoy social media and yes it is much more convenient to have One Place To Look At Jokes And Pictures instead of having to check 400 separate blogs, but man. sometimes i just wonder like how much more we couldve gotten from mother horse eyes if it hadnt limited itself to reddit comments. what if petscop had the liberty to alter the structure of the video player you were watching it in. all of this really is part of my Strong Internal Logic that the best piece of media in a given format is that which Does Everything Only That Format Can Do. house of leaves is the best book (**that ive read in my life so far) because it does so much that is only possible Because it is a book. my ideal movie wouldnt even really be a "Movie" so much as it would be my Favorite DVD or Favorite VHS Tape or whatever because to me the best media is that which takes full advantage of the format its in, as opposed to kinda just pretending it Isnt one? i think stories that dont just act like they are a pure stream of information being beamed into your head are simply better. acknowledge the fact that i am Reading Words on a Device. and then use that to accomplish something thematically. im almost certain this post is completely incomprehensible but maybe i will read it again when i wake up and have some kind of epiphany that 2 In The Morning Me is not capable of understanding. peace out

HIII, its me again š (the one with the angsty prompt) waaaaah thank you SOO much for considering my prompt! š„¹ You write soo well, so it makes me so happy that you like the idea for a story! And its great that you also touched on the topic of maggots already! I feel like the fear/dislike of maggots is a good concept to explore Mui's trauma. No pressure, pls take as long as you want and if i get any more ideas I'll definitely pop by again ~ trust that they will be āØļø A N G S T Y āØļø but also fluffy :3
ALSO, MAY I PLS ADD - to expand on the idea of Muichiro not liking Tanjiro seeing him so vulnerable, i think he'd hate the fact that he looks so "weak" because he's supposed to be stronger than Tanjiro. he's been dealing with his problems alone for so long so he's not used to sharing them with others, and i feel like thats what Tetsuido meant when he used to worry about Muichiro because he never allowed others to help him with his problems (except Shinobu but yeah that was just medical help me thinks) ... so thats kinda why he was so misunderstood. But sunshine boy is there to let him know that its okay to have moments of emotional weakness and that he doesnt have to face his problems alone š«
Thank you for wanting to mention me! š„¹ I am anon yes but you could call me the maggot-angst anon (JOKES LOL pls dont call me that I really dont like them nasty things š„²)
Thank you again for liking the prompt š I look forward to reading the last chapters of Bonfire, or Marigolds and your other stories!!
HELLO!!!
AWWW TY! I sometimes feel like I look up like a deer in headlights at potential angst material, so thank you so much for your askš
(side note- if my words don't make any sense it's because it's quite late for me rn I am running on about 6 hours of sleep and everything is blurry plus I just watched a 2 hour video essay on a film I haven't seen in over 5 years. So. I apologise.)
BUT OMG THE MAGGOTS IS SUCH A AUKFIYDADIYIYDA IDEA LIKE THERES SO MUCH ANGST YOU COULD SAP FROM IT LIKE THE DISGUSTING PARASITE IT IS EXCEPT WE ARE THE PARASITE NOW. AAAD6OAKYF
oh yes yes please even if I don't write them just imagining it makes me explode on the inside from happiness
I AM A SLUT FOR HURT/COMFORT AND PROUD OF IT. please send me requests ehee
I am going to say now though I will be taking a break from posting for quite a while since I need to take care of mental health (you know, that thing that lives in the corner of my brain that I occasionally poke with a stick or something) especially after my school decided to take a turbo shit on my free time. AHAHA I LOVE WORK.
but hopefully I'll be back as soon as possible BECAUSE I NEED MUITAN CRUMBS I CRAVE SUSTENANCE.
God I love fics where characters get vulnerable with each other and they find comfort in each other's company and form a silent and mutual understanding that the other is a safe place to return to oh my god it breaks my heart AHLCAFYKADIT-
but yeah! thank you so much for your prompts and I will hopefully get onto them once I FINALLY FINISH CHAPTER 27. OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DIFFICULT ITS BEEN TO WRITE THAT STUPID CHAPTER I ACTUALLY CANT. I CANNOT. I AM TRAPPED IN MY OWN WEB OF CONFUSION.
but thank you so much! I really hope you send me more prompts in the future! ee

i realized while writing that im very frustrated with the briefs for the months of the year in this dictionary, so later on i will probably end up reworking them entirely. so expect another post with shiny new month briefs.
ofc there's also my issues with the "we", "he", "she", "they" phrases. those are a longer project. i might start working on "we" phrases again in the next few days. idk, depends on whether i remember to.
My Impressions of the Book (Spoilers!):
the narration really adds a lot of personality to the storytelling, which is saying a lot because the storytelling is rich and shifts between different voices, tho the character remains the same.
the book uses this immortal Black woman's experiences to both create a sorta all-knowing, wise figure who can remember her lives throughout the ages, while also creating a fish-out-of-water character due to the nature of her immortality.
i love that its not her body that is immortal, but instead her mind. theres an emphasis early on about the wonders of the human body and how death is both a physical and emotional experience for her, while also being a temporary state of being.
i also love the touch of her always being Black. i cant quite put into words what that means, but the fact that her genders, sexualities, etc., seem to shift, but not her skin color (emphasis on the skin color, rather than her facial features)... rly cool, anyway.
theres also a combo of mysteries, with a courtroom scene in which she's defending herself for killing someone out of self-defense, and her suddenly waking up in an alley with absolutely no clue of who she is. awesome! i rly wasnt expecting to have to break out my legal transcription dictionary. hehe yay
im excited to discover what happens next!
