#people and watching my favourite things

[voiceshearingyouloud]

I was feeling extremely suicidal today, like the worst I have in maybe four or five years now, and I was deliberating over whether I should go to the hospital like pretty much all day and now that I feel better I realise that the moment I started drafting my suicide note in my head was probably when I should’ve decided that 😭

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.

Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.

Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.

In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

and that’s a wrap on campaign 3! emotions post incoming. yes, I did get a drink just to toast the end of it, and yes, that is a little crocheted Beau (I did not make her!) who kept me company through watching m9, and who I got out for the bell’s hells finale too.

like lots of folks, I’ve had my complaints about c3, and particularly in the last year, life’s been Difficult and I struggled to keep up the whole time, but—god, I love these characters (all of them), I love this stupid game, and even though I’ve not been watching from the very beginning, it’s still been a Journey.

I started watching critical role with m9 in 2019, which doesn’t feel like that long ago but was (apparently!) six years ago, in a terrible room in a pretty shitty living situation. I’d just moved away from all my friends, was getting my teaching qualification, and was tired and broke and lonely. in the intervening years, a tonne has happened: I’ve moved house a few times and now have a (much much nicer!) flat with my partner where I can regularly host people I love, I’ve gotten married, I’ve qualified and been teaching for five years, I’ve gotten a lot better at dealing with some bits of my brain and body and inevitably had more things come up, but that’s okay, I’ve come out-out (if you know what I mean). and I’ve met so many wonderful people both in and outside fandom, and gone to cons, and written fanfic, and participated in exchanges, and connected with critters in this community, and even attended the m9 London live show, which was incredible in so many ways. watching critical role in the stressful, lonely, busy year that was 2019 was what gave me the courage to start DMing, and I’ve been DMing for some of my best friends for the last five years. and that, in itself, is a wonderful thing to have, and I’m so grateful to all of it.

I’ve always been a fucking nerd, and I’ve been in fandoms for most of my life. but critical role has been a special one for me. I’ve found so much fan connection, so much inspiration and joy to create, so much comfort in this show over the last six years. it’s been there with me for so many hours over lockdowns and commutes and friday-evening-post-work watching and while I’m crying and while I’m happy and while I’m reading fanfic on my phone at work and while I’m singing “your turn to roll” with 12k people at wembley.

so yeah. it may not have been ten years for me, but god. it’s been such a wonderful journey. and watching the finale last night/today and getting to see those threads come together and to watch the cast tell ends to stories that have been in the making for ten years or more—it has been lovely, and very emotional. and again, for all my issues with c3—I have had a wonderful time, and it was a really enjoyable finale.

I don’t know what comes next for exandria and for longform critical role campaigns, but this *did* feel like a bit of an ending, and yknow what? no matter what comes next, I’m not mad about that. it’s been such a good ride, critters. I’m very grateful I got to be part of it along with you all. I cannot fucking wait for divergence.

or in other words: thanks for the good story, Matt (and everyone else!). let’s do it again?

i really cant put into words how annoying it is to see the way modern vocaloid fans react about shit these days. i want to blame project sekai but like. i dont even think it's the fault of that game for introducing vocaloid to a younger audience, i think that younger audiences in general are just insanely reactionary and are the types of people who think hatsune miku is an actual 16 year old that needs to be protected rather than a tool that people use to make art. you are willfully misinterpreting the art of real humans to demonise them in favour of protecting a fictional 9 year old

thinking a little recently about trivia based fandom vs transformative based fandom, and how cleanly these can be divided into reddit and tumblr fandoms respectively a lot of the time, and how foreign only doing the first is to me from an artist perspective

Idk what it is about fanfic soul mate trope stuff where you're living in a world waiting your whole life for your soul mate to appear that matches your soul tattoo or whatever that creeps me out but it honestly just makes me go 😱 instead of 😍 every time

[hurglewurm]

me: keeps drawing random one-off fanarts from things that aren't currently big at all

also me: why no notes on my arte

I am in the middle of an Agent Carter rewatch (together with my mum, actually 🤭) and I am realising how much I missed my all time favourite couple 🥹 Because I did, I missed them so SO much!! (And I really want to get back to writing fanfics about them!)
