#not that I think it deserves that too-since I like sf and think it’s also unique-but seeing one happen over the other is painful

I hate to make a random mega man ramble about a technical thing rather than about the games themselves but it’s dawning on me more and more how Capcom bundling Zero and ZX was like- a double edged sword.

From what I know Capcom expected a rerelease of Zero to not sell super well, I only imagine they released it because Zero isn’t super niche-it’s like middle in popularity in terms of the MM series-and they probably wanted to tackle something smaller before releasing the BNLC given how long that took. However it’s noteworthy that the LC port of all the Zero games are just the source code of the Ds collection, they likely did it since GBA games don’t have a easy way to rip their source code unlike Ds. (Hence another reason BNLC took so long) But they realized they couldn’t just port a slightly remastered version of the Zero games to consoles as no one would be interested, so they likely slapped ZX on as a bonus.

Why do I say this? It’s because the double edge factor of while ZX got more exposure, it feels like they only did it as means to further tie it Zeros identity. Think about how in that anniversary art awhile ago there was a protag for every series BUT ZX, or how most of the merch post LC is just Zero, hardly anything ZX related in sight. On top of this, ZX is a sequel series to Zero-even though Zero in itself is a sequel to X, and X is a sequel to classic…-so they figured from a marketing standpoint it makes sense to tie their identities together.

This was the only feasible way to rerelease ZX as no one would buy a collection of two games even if they priced it super cheap, but man. Does this fucking suck to realize.

Already sent this too another blog but I want to hear your opinion too. I just listened to an ACOTAR podcast with SJM’s friend in it( The one that wears glasses and usually does interviews with her) and they were talking about possible endgames for Elain in the podcast.

They said they don’t think with the way the books are going that Lucien and Elain will end up together. One of them even said that before she had an active elucien blog on tumblr, but she too agreed that she doesn’t think elucien will happen after their scenes in SF and FAS.

And when they were talking about the endgames for Elain they mentioned Eris and another character, I think tarquin or something. But they were both strong on the possibility of Eris which was crazy to me then. However, thinking about it now and considering how Eris, out of no where, suddenly played a huge role in ACOSF, and SJM hinting that he is about to get the Rhys treatment I am worried.

Especially with the way SJM was giddy talking about writing Eris in SF interviews and then mentioning that she’s planning stuff for Mor Azriel and Elain but never Lucien, and the set up for the renaming books, being two couples and one novella. Plus they both agree that elriel isn’t happening, and they think gwynriel is a huge possibility. I am just thinking that if gwynriel happens and Lucien doesn’t end up with Elain that rules out a book for him and that makes me so sad because IMO I think out of all the remaining characters he deserves a book the most. 😭😭 if Lucien doesn’t get a book it would break my heart.

Sorry for the long ask.

Hi there! I think Steph and Ava are a riot when they're together on their podcast. I also think it's possible Steph may know more than she lets on within her podcast. With that said, though, I often do not buy the theories Steph and Ava have come up with / talked about because there have been a few times where their knowledge of what actually happened in the books is lacking. And no shade to them, they are both extremely busy with many other things and SJM is not the only author the read / talk about. I don't think they obsess over all things SJM the way we do in the fandom (a good thing since Steph is friends with Sarah, you want a friend - not necessarily a fan girl). However, when Ava said she couldn't even remember that Elain stabbed the king and Steph said she thinks Sarah is going to write a throuple for Lucien and that he's got so much story to tell but she's not sure how we're going to get to that until he and Elain settle their bond, it did have me questioning them as a true resource of what to expect. Listen, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lucien and I'm so excited for his story but even I know that Lucien is not taking center stage to Elain. It's an odd take to think that Lucien's got this big arc ahead of him but the only small pesky thing standing in the way of that is Elain needing to break their bond and once that's done we can move forward with him. At this point, I do have to question anyone thinking Gwynriel is 120% endgame while also believing Elain and Lucien are probably not happening. I actually don't remember them saying Eris or Tarquin are romantic possibilities for Elain but I don't think there's anything to support those statements even if they did. Eris is showing remorse for the state of his relationship with Lucien, I definitely don't see him ending up with his mate. Also, there are zero hints that Elain would end up in the Autumn Court. As far as Tarquin, Elain has literally never met him and I've got no idea what plot people are coming up with for her to meet and then fall in love with him. Sarah did talk of how she discussed what plans she had for Elain, and for Mor, and for Az. And while she didn't mention Lucien in that moment she also didn't mention a female romantic interest for Mor or a romantic interest for Az either. To me, it sort of sounds like Sarah was discussing the "lead" character for a book or spin-off while leaving the love interest a surprise. Honestly, I think the absence of Lucien's name and absence of people discussing the Elucien bond is more telling than if they were being mentioned in conversation together. Elain and Lucien had the most shocking mating bond reveals of any of Sarah's series yet I'm supposed to believe they and their bond rarely come up in any of the more recent interviews Sarah has done? It's one of the bigger unresolved plot-points to date yet it's supposed to be realistic that she's never getting questions on "What will Elain do about her bond?" "Is Lucien getting frustrated by their situation?" "Will Elain ever get to know Lucien?" I remember someone asking something before the novella came out and her response was like, "you might get answers about Elain and her bond" yet all we got was her suddenly ignoring Lucien (and no E/riel lurkers, that is not actually a true decision since Nesta began ignoring Cassian in the same book) but still not rejecting him almost two years later which means the question STILL exists to all readers.

That Elain and Lucien's names are NEVER mentioned in her interviews when they do share a bond makes me think it's intentional on her part, where she said they're off the table during discussions. Which does make sense because if you're going to mate two characters, which seems like an obvious "they're ending up together" setup, it's a smart move to have Elain ignoring him in the book and completely shut down the conversation surrounding them outside of it so it will read as more of a surprise to some. Definitely to many E/riels who are convinced we're delusional to believe Elain and Lucien could still happen.

[scrumptiousstuffs]

see now one thing i truly don't get with somsoms is how terribly incapable of rooting for their own faves they are. does that make sense? like, when First plays those more grayish characters (ex, Akk & Kant) everyone has those swings between “omg my pookie” and “omg ew why would he do that” and it's just so so funny to me. same with Khaotung and what happened for ex with Ray. idonno why our fandom can't just lock in and root for the “bad guys” too.

but i may be biased because i really need fkt to play the biggest villains in the whole universe lol would LOVE to have the fandom where we all can just collectively go “yea my man killed that guy but yk what? HE DESERVED IT.” instead of “my man killed and now he ain't my man anymore”

(btw hii it's me again 🍋)

Hi anon.

From what I can glean (and of course I may be wrong here), most FK fans have no issue with how Kant are being portrayed. It’s the casual viewers of FK/people who generally watch lots of Thai BL but don’t specifically follow FK per se that either had negative take on Kant (with some crossing the lines and starting talking nonsense on First itself) or just skipped KantBison scenes altogether because they perceived it as boring in the 1st half of the series (and then sounded so surprised that Kant was being blackmailed because of his brother. Some didn’t even know he had a younger brother 😑)

However, what I am realising with FK fans, and this is especially with inter-fans are the preconceived ideas they have of the series and then went absolutely bonkers/disappointed when Kant (or Bison) didn’t turn out to be how they thought it should be (it’s already happening with Cat For Cash). Some inter-fans said that it was a missed opportunity to make Kant “more interesting” and he became “boring” after getting together with Bison? (Very puzzled with this). So, in fact, we actually have inter-fans wanting Kant to be even an even greyer character than what he currently is?

Interestingly, I have never seen Thai fans of FK saying anything negative about the series or how they portray KB (maybe I’m not following as many Thai fans?). But I do follow Thai fans that have been with them since at least 2022 or before!). And if these Thai fans put up highlights from Thai reactors from YT - all of these Thai reactors are singing praises on KB acting/scenes.

However, if you look at inter-fans, you will see a fraction of them being angry about KB scenes where these are perceived as not being as meaningful as SF’s. Some are critical with Jojo/screenwriting team, labelling them as “lazy” that KB had to improvise their scenes, stating the scenes are only saved purely from FK acting. Now, I disagree with the statement. That’s like spitting on the face of the whole production team/lighting/cinematographer/costume/props department etc when they worked just as tirelessly.

Or how, it was “robbery” because THK was not as intense/more dramatic as it could have been - inter-fans got upset especially following the recent interview by Jojo with a Brazillian podcaster/YT channel where he confirmed he altered the script to be lighter in tone for 2 reasons - 1) he didn’t want an intense drama after just filming OF 2) when they were about to shoot the pilot trailer, the mass shooting in the shopping mall at Bangkok just happened and the series almost got canned by GMMTV. I also think personally, he wanted to challenge himself because he mentioned (during the interview), Thai series usually don’t mix comedy with action/drama together (it’s either one or another) - one of the reason why Khaotung apparently find it difficult to find the right balance as Bison when he first started shooting THK.

That’s another thing about these inter-fans, I am bemused when these same inter-fans insisted THK was made for international audience and not Thai/local audiences. I put up a post recently where P’Aof made a pointed remark stating Thai directors/production houses make BL/GL with Thai audience in mind. International fans are just bonuses for them.

Sure, THK is probably more “accessible” to inter-fans because Jojo references a lot of famous/classic rom-com from the late 90s to early 2000s. But his target is first and foremost Thai audience and that’s why he tailored it to the current political climate in Thailand at that time (not to mention he likely won’t be able to produce the series otherwise) plus “gentle” introduction to non-vanilla sexual practices to the largely still conservative Thai audiences (yes, I’m talking about BDSM, where again I see inter-fans (and not Thai!) complaining there were only that 1-2 scenes in Ep 3. Since I already explained why I wasn’t surprised in a different asked, I’m not going to say it here).

And please do not compare THK BDSM to KinnPorsche. KinnPorsche is a different ball game together. That show was aired on IQIYI exclusively with the budget largely covered by one of the main actor who is super rich, while THK is still being aired on YT/GMM25 (their local channel that is targeted to be more family oriented).

@firstkanaphans and @doublel27 also answered a recent asked about the discordant on why audiences may be so hypercritical to Kant/Ray as opposed to actual “bad people” like our hitmen. I think it was a brilliant answer.

Regardless, It will be interesting to see how Dr Karn is going to be perceived by audiences (local and internationally). I get the feeling it will again be mixed results. But one thing I will say about FK - they have always challenged themselves with the roles they take. Plus tirelessly working on perfecting their craft. For that, I will always adore them.

This is Not a hate post towards Carlos Sainz. I don't really like him but still think he's a good driver - that is, however, not always enough.

For anyone genuinely wondering what reasons RBR could possibly have to sign Checo instead of Carlos, here's a few that have nothing to do with driving ability, but are no less important to a team:

1. The car - Checo is already used to the RBs, which, much like the SF, and almost any other car on the grid I'd imagine, are tailored towards the preferences of the no.1 driver of the team, in this case - Max. Max and Carlos, to put it simply, have very different preferences for their setup so Carlos would realistically have a really tough time in the car and I don't think he'd adapt quick and efficient enough to not cost the team significant points. Checo is also already very familiar with the current RB environment so he doesn't need a warmup period, he's ready to go.

2. Sponsors and marketability - Checo has a huge latin fanbase. He's very beloved outside your typical European - centered fanbase circles. He brings in insane revenue from RB marketing in Latin America. That is, of course, very valuable to a team. Carlos, unfortunately, doesn't have too many sponsors of his own and isn't nearly as marketable. I know he seems more popular because of european fans, but trust me, people go insane for Checo.

3. Professional relationship between drivers - RBR needed a clear no.2 driver for that empty seat. Checo is the perfect pick because he knows he's going to be second to Max and that Max will be getting preferential treatment. He knows his role is to support Max and try to bring in as many points as possible for the team. He wouldn't try to fight Max for position, thus risking leaving space for other teams to attack. He has shown on multiple occasions, that he Can and Will defend against other teams. Carlos didn't seem to get the memo at Ferrari, he probably wouldn't have gotten it at RBR either. Carlos clearly isn't satisfied being a no.2 driver in a team, which is unfortunate, because that's all that's left in the top teams. They wouldn't want a driver who's willing to risk track position and potentially lose points for the team while trying to pass their own teammate.

4. Personal relationship between drivers - Now this is also important, because while drivers are professionals and can be collegial while also disliking each other, the team works best if they don't have to force interaction and amicability. It has been mentioned on multiple occasions that during their joint Toro Rosso days, Max and Carlos didn't exactly get on that well. You could argue that they have grown and changed a lot since then, yes, but if the team already has a driver available that they know for sure gets along with Max, why would they go for uncertainty?

There's definitely more reasons for this decision, that we, as the public, are not aware of. I just saw so many people disappointed and/or angry at the renewal, saying Carlos is more deserving yada yada. You aren't entitled to a seat just because you're good as an individual driver. And for the record, Checo isn't as bad as most people are making him out to be. He's a solid driver, experienced and very adaptable too. Put some respect on his name.

SF Fandom Rant

CW: Half-Way Jokingly Unhinged Nerd Rage

EDIT: Just to clarify I was there when Adult Swim announced the festival and unveiled what it was going to look like before opening, I didn't get to go but I wish I did.

What kinda frustrates me is when some fans who think they've been in this fandom for long enough say some silly nonsense like "Oooh Pim is underrated or not as loved as the other main characters he needs more love (ToT)"....Meanwhile as someone who has obsessively-compulsively scurried in and out of EVERY SINGLE MAIN TAG FOR SMILING FRIENDS on almost all social media sites (plus countless YouTube comment sections and that WRETCHED troglodyte-ridden shitgutter known as Reddit) I can confirm that this entire fandom has always been overflowing with an endless supply of Pim fanworks, cosplays, getting shipped with Charlie and various other characters canon AND fanmade (plus quite a bit of selfshipping) or comments gushing about how cute and sweet he is...not to mention Charpim is obviously THE most popular ship in the fandom from what I've seen on A03! All the Pim fanworks and whatnot get a shit ton of attention too, they get TONS of likes and comments! Also on a sidenote, polls I've seen voting for one's favorite character, Pim is either second and in one or two cases, even first in Favorite Character polls while either Alan or Glep are at the bottom, not to say that either character mentioned are unpopular in fact FAR from it considering I spent so much time browsing fanworks for this show, trust me. Glep is a little meme machine and Alan is a he/him sapphic icon because of all the fangirls he has!

And furthermore, a testament to Pim's popularity being much bigger than one would expect is when I was there when Adult Swim's annual festival was unveiled to the masses on their socials and every single one of us online that day collectively losing our heads (hehe) over this lovely sight:

This image was spreading around like wildfire + the comment sections where mostly talking about Pim's bulbous, perfectly-round head.

"Underrated" my ass, Pim gets A TON of well-deserved love in this fandom, honestly you know who's the most underrated Smiling Friend? My baby girl Smormu where's all the cute Smormu fanart and fanfics you cowards!? I mean look at this lil' cutie go!

*slams fists on table dramatically* WHERE'S MY SMORMU CONTENT DAMMIT!?

*Nasally Laugh* Okay in all seriousness I know Smormu was made as a joke but can y'all stop making Pim out to be a forgotten/underrated character like he's some scrapped character from the pilot? There are plenty of unpopular/underrated characters on this show I can name on the back of my hand because I scrutinize every bit of trivia surrounding this show (like Zoey, Marge, Mr. Boss to some extent but less-so since S2, Jennifer, Desmond...) and Pim is NOT one of them! Thanks for coming to my TED talk, byeeee.

(PS. Be sure to check back on this lil ol' blog of mine for the latest chapter of my mushy Charpim fanfic dropping later tonight 😉)

[nalyra-dreaming]

You're last reblog make me think that we absolutely need a non platonic Loudaniel at some point,there is no way what happened in SF didn't impact their relationship even if their both memories were altered.I want them friends too but since we are in the chronicles we can also expect for some more right?

We can hope :)

But… honestly, they deserve a friendship first. Because friendship is hard.

I would love them to be friends, or in fact feeling like siblings, ribbing each other.

I wouldn’t mind more, but that first, please.

[buryawoman]

Thank you @wisteria-wisteria for tagging me.

It is really an unexpected season for me.

From the perspective of the race.🤲

I started watching it from Baku! And I fell in love with Charles' incredible performance on that pole lap. I have the fantasy that it would be normal to see Lestappen podiums this year.Then I got struck by the poor stability of SF-23😭 (Meanwhile I was surprised by Max's consistency in competing for championship and the outstanding performance of RB19). The dominance of RBR in the first half of the season is unbelievably strong.

Then came the second half of the season.Though my baby Charles still got through some unfortunate incidents, Ferrari had obviously improved their competativeness since Suzuka. And there are also some Lestappen fights I could enjoy.😌(Most importantly, I have finally seen some positive changes of attitudes towards Charles that Scuderia Ferrari is going to build a car that will be more suitable for Charles to drive)

From the perspective of the ship😘

The Little Talk: I always know that or assume that these two drivers are not so familiar with each other outside the paddock. So I really cherish the little touch and talk they share inside the paddock in racing week. My most impressed two moments are as followed: 1.Max chased after Charles just to praise Charles' special suit in Monaco 2.Charles asked Max about the time after! he had checked his own watch. Look at these two childish guy HOW can they bring about the worst topic just to talk more with each other! Let alone the amounts of Maxplaining and Leclerifying. And one thing I want to add is Max's apologies. If a writer creates such kind of plots, I would definitely think that is a little bit exaggeration and distortation. Let's just leave this out of character plot in the fiction. Oh then Max Verstappen denied the whole thing with his genuine and hurried apology to Charles. It also reminds me that they(at least Max) separate clearly on and off the track.

The special care for each other. What is note worthy is that I found that these two cares a little too much about each other as colleagues. The "Chuck Leclerc" and lots of "inchident" Max has mentioned. The "I enjoy racing with Max" Charles has mentioned(It may not be correct but I remembered that Charles has mentioned a lot of about fighting against Max in the second half of the season). I mean, considering that they didn't share much time in private, the frequency about mentioning each other is incredible...

The Touch: My fav part about Lestappen. The chemistry between these two F1 drivers is amazing. They are always so comfortably holding each others' waist and completely make every driver near them become a third wheel😅. In Austin Max even switched the medal to another hand and held Charles before Lewis arrived to take photos. In Brazil this scene just happened again and Lance was the victim this time. In Las Vegas，Max forgot to change to the middle position and quickly grabbed Charles until Charles reminded him→_→. The footsie thing also deserves some attention. It almost becomes a kind of tradition for Lestappen Press Conference. It is usually like that: Max took the intiative, Charles just obediently let him🤤🤤🤤.

There are so many things I want to mention but I think it is time to stop.(Thanks to these two people, my babies😘)

Looking forward to see more wheel-to-wheel fights between Lestappen in 2024

[starssecret]

Here are my skeletons for Bad reset Best outcome! :D

Hey! I have more information out now about them and their partners!

Loved doing these so much <3 I wanted to give them unique nicknames as well as outfits (tho some just fit like originally- Sans lol)

I tried to make it so all their names match Y/N in someway! Or would be like a nickname their S/O would call them.

(and dw I’ll post about Y/N next lol)

under the cut for more info!

So left to right- top to bottom we have

Meteorite and Rocket for Classic UT

Lucky and Bee for Underswap

Shadow and Knight for Underfell

Chardonnay and Silver for Swapfell

Pumpkin and Muffin for Horrortale

(Pinot) Noir and (Coffee) Bean for FellSwapGold

UT:

Y’all I think we’re sleeping on giving classic sans space themed names- like you’re telling me this man is ND and loves space and wouldn’t name himself smth Sciencey or space themed? Wrong lol.

As for Rocket- I was trying to think of smth to match sunshine, and I thought about smth like Sky- but thought Rocket and just yes lol

US:

Finding a matching name to match Lucky’s S/O was so hard lol- but I like how it works now :] Also Lucky's and Rocket's outfits are SO GOOD imo lol I like how sporty they are- but still fit their character you know?

Bee was pretty easy though lol, his S/O's nickname is Hunny, so Bee followed naturally lol and he's just cute let's be honest <3 ALSO it's a little hard to see- but he has a tooth gap in his front two teeth <3 the upper half lol I just had too- too cute to pass up <3

UF:

SHADOW- Ok so his S/O is Doll, so obvs I was drawing blanks, but I saw a website list Shadow as a nickname for a boyfriend... and spent 20 mins laughing my ass off about it. And nothing else worked better so I kept it lol. 10/10 name- I think Y/N deserves to call him Shadow the hedgehog all they like lol

Knight was easy lol- design and name wise. I already knew his S/O’s name was Prince/ss (depends on gender lol- and if you don’t like either of those just a neutral Royal title lol) so every good Royal person has a knight in shingling armor- so Knight it was lol.

SF:

Chardonnay- Ok I'll be the first to admit, I didn't originally plan on adding Noir when I started (More commonly Wine) so I was cool giving a wine name to Chardonnay and now there are two lmao. But I think Chardonnay is good for SF sans, Also his clothes? 20/10 in love.

Silver- ugh poor Silver, I'm gonna make him relive his trauma :[ but he was an addict underground, and was clean above, but now he's thrown back in the middle of it. So not happy :[ I chose silver as him name since everyone always names him after like money and such, and to semi-match Angel his S/O

HT:

Angst angst angst, Pumpkin! Took forever to decide on his name. His S/O is Lamb, so I almost went with smth like Steak, Bull, or Beast but I didn't like those. But remembered about calling people Pumpkin and fell in love <3 I would so call him that lol Also the handmade stitches in his clothes to repair them <333

ANGST ANGST ANGST, Muffin! Is so baby nil <333 Obviously an adult, but so soft and sweet. He tries so hard, tho- his poor S/O Sugar- well- you'll see soon lol. But Muffin and Sugar just felt right lol <3

FSG:

Ok I think I need to explain myself a little here lol. So his name is (Pinot) Noir, meaning his full name is Pinot Noir like the red wine, but he just goes by Noir. But I didn't want Noir on it's own without the wine context lol. So he's got like two nicknames lol. He's super classy tho lol, I almost put him in a suit but I decided that was too much- so I settled for vest and dress shirt lol.

Same for (Coffee) Bean, I kind of wanted to just keep Coffee, but I re-did everyone else so I had too T~T But I wanted them all drink themed lol. His S/O is Cocoa lol so they both match on theme <3 But also- if you call 'em Bean you could get away with calling him a Beanie Baby, so win! lmao

But yeah! These are the boys! Y/N designs soon to follow! :D

[my-mt-heart]

I'm seated right now. Thanks, SF and MT, for your input.

It's making sense, he's trying to sabotage DD and as soon as promotion for TOWL starts (after the strike), we will probably see a major difference.

But even without any proofs, AMC would notice that too right? They didn't greenlit the movies and bruised his ego. Why keeping him if he's only costing more money?

But maybe it's just me, MT already explained it somewhere, I will never understand how they can promote someone for damage control and not just kicking him out for creative differences or business reasons....

The whole PR since April 2022 and how they treated the whole project is just bizarre and unprofessional. (The same goes for the male employees, JDM, NR, GN)

Why throw millions into the wind and hope one project will be a great success? They're already loosing money on every dead end.

I think SF said a while back that there were a lot of personnel changes at AMC in the last couple years and that’s what made it easier for Gimple to make a mess of things 😑 It’s shitty from a moral standpoint. Someone who maliciously sets up two talented women to lose their jobs doesn’t deserve one himself, but like you said, it also makes no business sense to keep placating him while he costs them more and more money. I think TOWL will be the highest rated spinoff of the three, but I don’t trust his writing nearly enough to expect those characters and those fans to get the high quality storytelling they deserve. As for the eventual Caryl spinoff, I can only hope he isn’t actively involved.

S2-3(4?) - Susan redemption/pink lady arc, summer stock girl returns except he's summer stock boy now, lynthia cast as romantic leads in play, faccivinos (maybe st.faccivinos? but leaning towards SusanxSSB), Aspec!Nancy, too many vague ideas not enough substance to make it work yet 6/2023

Renegade Nell:

bunch of oneshots, maybe a xover (do Austin books take place around the same time?(i feel like lizzy bennett would get along with Nell)) 2024-5

Pirate AU - vibes 2/2025

Mega Xovers:

Queer Campy Vampire Detective Mash-up - feat. Characters from; Carmilla(webseries), Sherlock Holmes(books, and/or maybe that one Japanese drama), Buffy, Dracula(nbc), Veronica Mars, Scooby-Doo, Wynonna Earp, Jennifer's Body, and whatever else I feel like adding on a whim 2020

Original Works:

Domestic Affairs - Queer/Poly sitcom inspired by the very short lived tho(ugh)t exercise, done by ex friend group about if we (read they(i was merely an after thought(and ended up as the pet cat))) were characters in a soap opera, that took place after i went to bed 2019 *i put them in my sims it's so funny*

The Angle Blood Program - after a freak accident mc gains powers and is recruited into a secret government organization of Super-Powered individuals... but all is not as it seems 2016-7

Plushton - it's the story line my siblings and I played with our stuffed animals growing up, i feel like it would be fun to write, also they're all human here 2019 *the options were make them human, or keep them humanoid animals(like zootopia) but i didn't want to make a furry series out of my childhood so human it is lol*

Eden - Main storyline would have several parts that follow a group of students at an adventurers academy. Multiple side storylines would follow characters who aren't students. Super powers, war, politcal intrigue, and social commentary are the main flavours of this series. A collection of myths and legends of the world would accompany the main series. Started out cause I wanted to make a team for a RWBY RP, but then became it's own thing, though there's still some noticibly RWBY elements in the plot/structure 2017

Billy the Bon-bon - a bon-bon (Billy) comes to life and goes on crazy adventures, would work best as a cartoon or comic/webtoon but i can't draw for shit (thought it up with a couple friends while at the local skating rink, and then made a pilot ep for a comic project in art class the following yr) 2015

Legends series - it's a mess and i haven’t tried to do anything with it for over a decade; but i have such a soft spot for my revenge book so I'll probably never actually drop it despite the fact that i don't even want revenge anymore, and instead of being a full series it'll probably just be a duology(if anything) 2013

Bite of Love/Love Sucks (originally called Love Bites, but someone beat me to it and now I'm not sure what to call it) - campy romcom about a girl and her vampire lover, I had it all figured out when i first thought it up but I didn't write it down so I can't remember anything specific 2016

My thoughts on Espresso Macchiato's chances

There's one kind of song folks usually call "televote bait" while some others will say they're "peak Eurovision", but I think those terms are kind of vague, and perhaps even inaccurate. After all, public votes can have to do with several different categories, from voting for a popular singer to supporting a country for political reasons. What I want to compare here, however, are songs which fulfill at least two for the following three criteria:

They're upbeat/"happy" and easy to listen to;

They have "weird" lyrics, either because they're too repetitive or random or because they have an unconventional (and probably simple) message/story;

Their staging is eye-catching and doesn't seem to take itself too seriously.

So, for instance, Dobrodošli is a slow, dramatic song (doesn't meet 1), has serious, emotional lyrics (doesn't meet 2) and I doubt the staging will go completely against the serious nature of the song (won't meet 3). This means that it won't be seen as "televote bait" or direct competition against, say, Laika Party or Kant (which fulfill all 3, even if they aren't that similar otherwise).

I believe Espresso Macchiato's appeal is only about those three things, besides maybe Tommy Cash being a popular artist (although I don't believe I have ever seen someone saying they love his work specifically as I've seen for other artists).

In the first semifinal, besides Estonia, there are:

Sweden (Bara Bara Bastu does fulfill the criteria; Revolution/On and On and On do not; I haven't listened to that other Melfest contender yet)

Ukraine (Bird of Pray does not fulfill the criteria)

Slovenia (does arguably meet #3 at most)

Iceland (does fulfill the criteria)

Poland (I mean… I'd argue Gaja fulfills 2 and 3, but most folks seem to take it seriously as a good song with good staging?)

Portugal (I doubt it, unless Adamastor wins. But I don't think that's likely.)

Netherlands (I'm not familiar with the artist, but since it's an internal selection one year after Joost I doubt it)

Azerbaijan (Based on the videoclip, maybe, because of 1/3? Will depend on their staging)

Albania (no)

San Marino (will depend a lot on who gets chosen)

Belgium (not really)

Cyprus (I doubt it)

Croatia (again, will depend a lot on who gets chosen)

Norway (uh, I dunno, similar to Poland except it meets 1 and maybe 3 but not 2, but idk if others feel the same way)

Which means there's only Iceland in direct competition with Estonia for the "this is fun, why not" vote, for now, although San Marino, Croatia and mayyyybe Sweden are also possible candidates for those. Therefore, I do think it will qualify, even within a strong SF.

Aside from the Netherlands, Croatia and Cyprus which are unknowns (I'm including Croatia here because even though I've listened to the Dora songs, they are very different from each other in terms of style and potential, even among the top 5 in the odds), I think Norway and Azerbaijan have the higher chances of not qualifying. Maybe San Marino, depending on what they send. Klemen (Slovenia) might get a lot of votes for having an emotional song, Zjerm (Albania) and Bird of Pray (Ukraine) stand out for having different styles, Strobe Lights (Belgium) and Gaja (Poland) are not my favorites but a lot of folks seem to like them. Portugal and Sweden tend to always be higher than I think they deserve, so they will probably qualify as well.

The final is an even bigger question mark. Espresso Macchiato may lose votes from other "weird" songs, but only if they get past their own SF. Laika Party (Ireland), Milkshake Man (Australia), Kant (Malta) and Ich Komme (Finland) all fill at least 2 of the criteria I listed. I think Armenia and Montenegro are easy NQs, but they can still surprise us with revamps/staging. Ich Komme and Kant seem to be way too hyped to NQ, but I'm not sure about Milkshake Man and Laika Party. Luxembourg can also go either way depending on a revamp.

Espresso Macchiato had bad vocals in Eesti Laul. If Tommy Cash keeps not finding his notes (and I find it possible for him to do a bad performance on purpose*), I think the "weird but fun song votes" will probably go toward others instead. If San Marino really goes with Tutta L'Italia, even the "known artist outside of the ESC bubble" factor won't be exclusive to Tommy Cash anymore.

That said, I don't think there's any chance of a NQ in the Semi-Final. * Some background: Tommy Cash has stated he'll "avenge" Joost (Netherlands 2024, disqualified) and Käärijä (Finland 2023, #1 on televote but #2 overall). This is weird to me because both of these entries were in very different situations. And then, the song United by Music, clearly mocking the EBU, was released… so I believe there's a real possibility of Tommy Cash going to ESC mainly to cause trouble and not deliver a good performance for Espresso Macchiato at all.

[acourtofthought]

Well okay then. I don’t think this will go anywhere because I genuinely don’t understand why you’re so angry and defensive just because I said that Elain (a fictional character) isn’t innocent and that we can absolutely hold her accountable especially since she’s a consenting adult. I don’t get why Nesta is even part of this argument. We all see how her mere existence offends a lot of people in the fandom while Elain is the complete opposite, constantly being let off the hook. Everything she does is always deemed “understandable” and “enough” by other characters and the majority of the fandom. I also have no idea how that makes me an Azriel stan. Throw him in the garbage truck lol honest, i dont care much about him.

As someone who isn’t too deep into the ship war, I initially just wanted to say that I think Elain and Azriel were both wrong in that BC. But Elriel and Elucien will never admit it because they treat Elain like some symbol of “innocence" which is honestly an ick. And I know plenty of other people feel the same but they’re too scared to say it because both Elucien and Elriel treat Elain like she’s too perfect to be blamed, while being ready to attack anyone in the name of her honor. It’s been happening since the first book. So I guess it’s true there’s not much difference between Elucien and Elriel? The only real difference is the male character. You’re all the same yet you keep acting like the other side is too stupid and too blind to see the “facts” lmao.

If Az rejected Gwyn like that, would you blame Gwyn? I have a feeling people would riot if the first time she tried to kiss someone after what happened to her and that person rejected her after letting her believe he was interested for an entire year, people would be boycotting the guy.

This was the first time Elain ever tried to put herself out there with someone she wasn't in love with / engaged to. Even if they aren't in love, dating and intimacy is a big step for people.

Hold her accountable for what exactly? A guy rejecting her which she did not ask for? Should we hold her accountable for Graysens rejection too?

"Her fans think Elain is too perfect to blamed" but what you mean is a female should be blamed even when she did nothing wrong.

Elain is blamed all the time in this fandom. "Elain didn't do anything in the cabin!" (while readers constantly ignore how who took the blame and apologized) "Elain cried like a baby for two months over Graysen!" "Elain is so mean to Lucien!" "How dare Elain be mean to Nesta in SF after everything Nesta has done for her!" as if somehow people aren't entitled to get mad at people for their current actions all because they were nice to them before. 😂. And now let's be sure to add "Elain deserves blame because of Az rejecting her".

You think a girl should blame herself for a guy rejecting her. Tell me you're a misogynist without telling me your a misogynist.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Az has had MANY hookups.. This was Elain's first time trying one..so yes, she is more innocent than him when it comes to the world of dating since as far as we know she's only ever dated / slept with one guy and that guy was her fiance. The humans were sheltered overall which even Nesta confirms:

Nesta snorted. “You’re living amongst beings who have none of our human primness, you know.”

But sure, let's act like it's her fault he hurt her since she's clearly so well versed in it all. Az clearly deserves a second apology from her while he's given none 🤦🤦🤦

You've sent two anons and neither was well received so kudos on sending yet a third where you continue blaming Elain. It's clear I'm not going to agree and am actually pretty put off by your personal opinion so don't bother sending a fourth or I will be blocking you.

I'm a little confused why you're on a Pro Elain blog in the first place and it's weird how you're giving out the classic "so angry and defensive over a fictional character" line when you're the one who has now sent three anons arguing the exact same point over and over, over characters you claim to not even care about. Your time could be better spent on things that make you happy rather than wasting it hammering home your opinion over "fictional characters *

Wanted to ask you if Anya’s powers are really a part of the war intrigue in SF? We know she’s experimented on but are we sure that’s related to war against Westalis? Thanks

Hey Anon! Well, anything is possible at this point but considering the very first chapter of the series...

...we know Anya has been experimented on as part of a "world peace" (read: war) project, so I'd say it's very likely her backstory and powers are incredibly relevant to the war between Ostania and Westalis.

That being said, we don't know who these scientists are. Were they working for Ostania or Westalis or yet another country? We do not know and I still think it's way too early to diss on either country, since it's likely both have had a role to play in this war (both Twilight and Yor as well as Yuri are war orphans because of the others' country to begin with).

So I think discovering about Anya's powers is key to the main plot and it indeed probably has to do with Twilight's mission of infiltrating Donovan's (the far right political party's head) circle and, who knows, maybe with Garden's agenda as well (I mean, Yor is super strong: it could be the result of training or of some military experiments for all we know, especially since Garden's already a shady organization as it is).

Only time will tell but, since Anya's the only omniscient character but also a kid who's been abandoned many times (it's currently played for laughs but it's actually sad af), ultimately the story calls for Twilight and Yor to realize how much she's been through and that she needs and deserves a good functioning family to help her grow. That sounds more like the subplot of the final arc of the series to me but Endo-sensei might still surprise us!

I hope it answers your question, have a good weekend!

I think Dick’s reaction/smirking at Kory this episode was him realizing that she still had feelings for him 🤷🏽‍♀️

Has he realized it yet though?

He obviously knows he has feelings for Kory (hence the dreaming of a whole child together), even if he hasn't put into to words. But I don't think he realizes she still likes him yet.

In s2 when he asks her to go to SF with him and she says she isn't ready for that, he definitely accepts that she needs space but I also feel like he took it as a little bit of rejection. Since then he's continued to give her the space she needs to figure things out. Also, he was definitely going through a self-loathing period in s2 and he didn't feel like he deserved any type of love or forgiveness from any of the Titans.

And people might disagree with me on this, but in s3 Kory definitely pushed Dick away a bit. Yea, he didn't make an effort to find out what was going on with her. But she also didn't want him or anyone else to know, which is why she decided to confide in Justin. Plus, Dick overheard her planning a date with Justin too so he had to have thought she still wasn't into him anymore.

I don't think he realizes that Kory choosing to stay by his side, always trying to understand him, being overprotective of him, and letting him get away with a lot of the stunts he pulls is her showing she loves him.

But when you think about the advice Dick gave to Garth about waiting things out with Donna, his approach to Kory makes a lot of sense. He's applying the same advice. I think Dick has convinced himself to be content with his current relationship with her (and the same can be said for Kory). They're friends, partners, and co-parents who flirt with each other often. He'd rather have that than not have her at all.

I'm saying all this to basically say it's time for them to have a talk and be real with each other. Everybody sees the connection between Dick and Kory except Dick and Kory 🙃🙃. Blackfire was in the room with them for 5 MINUTES and she saw it lol. One good conversation between them would just clear up everything for them and they could be together. Hopefully it happens in s4.

A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon: ARC Review

Rating: 5/5 Stars

Samantha Shannon has universes inside of her mind, and I feel so lucky to be privy to the mythologies, poetries, and magic she brings forth through her writing. This book is in the top five favorite fantasy books of all time for me, which is really saying something since I read around 300 books per year… most of which are SF/F. A Day of Fallen Night is a masterpiece, and I will be recommending it to every single person willing to discuss books with me.

This fantasy work is the book that women+, femmes, and women who love women deserve. Every female character is deeply cultivated and nurtured in terms of character development and page time, which I cannot say for most fantasy books being written these days. A wide range of ages is represented from girlhood to elder years, and that is so very meaningful since many fantasy works are more skewed toward a teenage audience. While there is nothing wrong with a market for younger readers, we need a place for people above the age of 23 to be able to self-actualize and find themselves through the books they read. Women of all ages are heroes, and they deserve to be seen in all their glory, regardless of the season of life they are in. As one of Shannon’s characters says: “If women are flowers, we are not roses, but day’s eyes- blooming not once, but over and over, each time the light touches us.”

Although any male/men+ characters who appear in the book are crafted with care and attention, the emphasis is less on romantic (and sexual) love between men and women, but rather is centered on friendship. Though men in Shannon’s book are meaningful and heartfelt, they never steal the show from the women+/female characters. The real romances and complexities of passion are given to the women—the sapphic element of Shannon’s book(s) being one of the most appealing to me. Even though this work of fantasy is far from being all sunshine and roses, it feels like a safe space to explore relationships between women with all their nuances and challenges.

The thing about big fantasy books is that they can also be slow burns. Some people enjoy a slow, but methodical approach to storytelling, but I would be lying if I said I was one of them. Shannon’s book is a BIG ONE, but I failed to find a single dull or boring moment the entire time I was burning through it. As with many fantasy works, the story is told from the perspectives of a few main characters (mostly women), with the occasional, important side character added in as the book progresses. (There are nonbinary characters too with they/them pronouns!) With many big (nearly 1,000 pages) works like this, I usually find myself loving one or two characters, but being bored with the others… sometimes feeling like I want to skip the chapters with perspectives of the characters I find less interesting. I loved every single character in A Day of Fallen Night and found myself re-reading passages because the prose was just that beautiful or pivotal. There is something to enchant you in every paragraph whether it is amazing poetry, deep wisdom, or a juicy unfurling of one of the beloved characters. In short, Samantha Shannon has a rare gift, even in a market as massive as fantasy storytelling. Every word is potent, and every chapter is as inviting as the last. There is no filler or sense that she is trying to rush through the plot. Every moment is purposeful and delightful, and my hat is off to Shannon for her skillset.

You may be thinking at this point: “Sounds great! You didn’t really tell me much about the book’s plot though.” The truth is that I can’t dive too deeply into the details because this is one of those books that is best enjoyed when almost every morsel is allowed to flower in the moment. Simply put, it would be all too easy to ruin something for another reader, and I do not want to steal that experience from anyone. What I will say is that as much as I obsessed over The Priory of the Orange Tree, this book is even better (It’s hard to imagine, I know.). A Day of Fallen Night takes place about 500 years before the events in Priory of the Orange Tree, so if you read POTOT first, you will find some easter eggs and “aha!” moments in this prequel. For those who might read ADOFN first (since they can be read in any order), I am pleased to tempt you/them with the knowledge that there are talking dragons, adventures in the peaks of the high mountains, magic, and so many beautiful moments that give you chills when you realize where Shannon is going with a plot idea or character connection. So, if you want to give yourself the best treat in the world and live several lifetimes within the span of a book cover, this is the number one book you will want to read in 2023.

Lastly, I am so grateful to the publishers and creatives at Bloomsbury and Netgalley who sent me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. To you lovelies, it may have been another approval request on a Wednesday, but you wielded the kind of magic nestled in the realms of humans and transformed my week into something beautiful and enrapturing. Thank you so much.

[hotgirlnosebleeds]

Alright, for starters I would like it to be like Skullgirls, every player chooses three characters before the match and can swap between them. A rebalanced 1v1 mode would also be cool, but my main focus is on the 3v3. The reason for this, is that I would love to see the characters clash when swapped for the first time , kind of like in Injustice, and I have some ideas for team mechanics.

The main two mechanics would be Investiture, and The Sanderlanche (hear me out on this one.) Every character has their own Investiture meter that drains during the match as they use their special abilities, if they're from the same planet they might get a pooled meter? That would have to be tested for balance. Perhaps there are some ways to regain investiture, through special abilities or environmental stuff like in MK, but I'm not sure. NOW, the Sanderlanche is the provisional name for the Ultimate ability mechanic, or a Final Smash, or whatever you want to call it. Every character can fill their SL bar through damage, combos, and being damaged (at different rates of course). If a character fills their own bar, they explode in power for a short time, replenishing their investiture temporarily if the ability is triggered (I'm thinking stuff like Mistborns taking atium, or Radiants swearing a new oath, Szeth or Vasher pulling out Nightblood). HOWEVER, if all three characters fill their SL meter, one of them (living or dead) can be chosen to truly ascend (Sazed becoming Harmony, Vin/Kelsier becoming preservation, Kaladin doing whatever he is going to do in Stormlight 5, Susebron appearing to unleash all his power, etc), a cool cutscene plays and all the oponent characters take massive damage, managing to fill all three meters and not using them is basically a win condition.

I love the idea of bosses, that one never occurred to me (haven't played SF), for characters, I do think that Radiants and Shardbearers deserve to be in it, obviously with the shardblades nerfed from Canon. I'm not totally sure if I'd put Sarene in, she seems maybe too underpowered in comparison with the rest. Now some character specific ideas by series:

Mistborn

- Vin would carry the big ass kolossi sword, expending investiture passively while in play (she needs to burn pewter to carry it), for a lot of damage. In return, she can use her Zinc and Brass burning to buff her allies and debuff her opponents for a smaller cost.

- Kelsier expends more investiture burning Zinc and Brass, and would be more of a zoner, concentrating on pushing and pulling coins

No notes on the rest of the Mistborn characters, I'd only say that Kandra should take inspiration from Double (skullgirls) in appearance and mechanics. Marsh could also work as a Kelsier pallete swap, instead of his own character tbh. Sazed should be playable too

Stormlight

- Kaladin would use a shardspear of course, and would focus on lashing the opponent into advantageous situations. (I would have other bridgemen like Teft or Sigzil as pallete swaps)

- Shallan I'm not completely sure tbh, illusions would obviously be her thing, but I'm not entirely sure how they deal damage or help her in battle. She could have a stance swapping mechanic between Radiant and Veil as well

- Adolin swaps between the sword stances, since he is not magical, his investiture pools with other Radiants, and powers his shardplate, giving him extra durability

- Dalinar would play mostly like Adolin, with the exception of some adhesion tricks since he is not so well trained in his radiant abilities. His SL would be the opening of a perpendicularity, replenishing all the investiture of his team

- Lift uses her radiant staff which does less damage, but can heal herself and her teammates partially, she would have some of the fastest speeds, or could inflict speed debuffs as well. Her investiture would not pool with other Radiants.

- Szeth uses lashings and the division powers we know he has but hasn't used yet, he would be more nimble than the bridgemen and with a shorter range. His SL would have him take Nightblood out, dealing massive damage until his (replenished) investiture is consumed FAST, if not stored again, it starts to drain his own health as well.

-Listeners/Fused would also be really cool as playable characters, but I haven't read in a bit and don't remember their abilities as clearly.

I'd love to fight The Pursuer as a boss, or maybe a chasmfiend, Nale would also be great as a boss.

Elantris

I feel that Raoden would be INSANELY broken if he was a full Elantrian the whole time. I think it would be cool if he started as a Reod Elantrian for a bit, with really limited access to the AonDor, even maybe a "poisoned" condition, where hits do maintained damage on him, BUT his SL meter filled way too fast, almost guaranteeing his ascent into a full Elantrian with a new, 75%ish health bar

Hrathen would be cool, Dilaf would be cool, Shai would also be cool (she'd have a stance changing thing with her stamps), but we don't know enough about them to really get into specifics

Other stuff

Warbreaker: Vasher would be cool, I'd let him have extra investiture due to the amount of breaths, maybe more time with Nightblood as well.

Tress would be really cool, if we imagined her a bit in the future with more knowledge of Athers, perhaps an Aether gun with different spore bullets.

The guy from white sand would be cool too ig. His SL could be the mastery of more than one sand trail

Hoid should be the announcer obviously

That's it, thanks for reading, I've been obsessing over this idea for months

Fuck it Cosmere fighting game

Been playing a lot of Street fighter recently and being humbled by the final bosses reminded me of Lord rules and Kelsier and that got me thinking how would a fighting game of the Cosmere would be.

I mean you could have Kelsier, Vin, and the venture brother as the mistborns, Human the koolo kinda like Hugo, spook, sazed would be like Dhalsim , some kandras doing weird copycats or mimics thingys, Inquisitors , marsh , Lord ruler as the broken as fuck boss.

If you include era II would be a great contrast whit the weapons, wax would fly a lot, and Wayne bubble being the parry would be fun, you could even include uh vallete? The lesbian gun lady yeah her. Dunno could be fun I think

Outside of mistborn

I bet Vasher would be fun as fuck, fighting while evading using night blood while being attacked by awakened objects.

I'll ignore shardblades,

Raoden would be weird as fuck to play yk combos and those things, Serene could do fencing, and Hrathen it's a strong boy

Dusk reminds me a lot of Rambo , and he was in Mortal Kombat so that one.

That's what occurs to me right now so yeah maybe I'll give it more tought
