Writer's friends when they listen to the writer explaining the plot to their story:

did @birdietrait's random cas challenge again °-° yeah... they're quite random lol. rolls/prompts are below the cut! :]

Marius/Sim 1: punk, fantasy, blonde hair, no makeup, gap teeth Nylah/Sim 2: favorite tv show*, bratz (completely missed that one i think lol), brown hair, long hair, gap teeth Sachiko/Sim 3: cyberpunk, prom, red hair, white eyes, gap teeth

-> * ok ok ok! for favorite tv show i picked The Tribe bc i've been obsessed with the show since my early teens BUT... why have so many ppl never heard of that show? v.v it's literally so good, it's basically the first time i experienced media abt post-apocalypse/dystopia and it became my comfort tv-show to watch. °-° rant over.

You know what is an absolute shame, that queen of tears had all the potential to be so so great. All it would have taken was a little more writing comprehension and understanding that a story doesn't need 50 something plot points, everyone would have tuned in for just baekhong and them navigating the complexities of marriage, dealing with their families, and dealing with the potential loss of life, and the way two people can be so destined for each other, fine they could have had villains but the villain didn't need to be a one dimensional character that had such plot armour throughout the show to the point that the main female character who has such intellect in all other moments somehow loses it around him just so we can entertain mediocre moments of ridiculousness, at the very least focus could have been placed on one villain, instead we have some deranged execution of mommy/son issues that had such potential but was just wasted and it's the way this drama feels like it's insulting my intellect that really just gets to me.

With that said, I still think baekhong is precious and that no drama has had characters like them before but I really think that it isn't even the writing anymore, it's that soohyun and jiwon have given this story their all and watching them has been a treat because they bring out the best parts of baekhong while the writer runs around in circles.

The whole Lila & Five season 4 situation can be summarized by this tumblr post

ok taking it out of tags bc i keep seeing “WHY would they cut that!!” — honestly? it’s more than likely just a contracted screen time thing. because i guarantee no one looked at that scene and was like “hmmm. not important enough” and tossed it on the chopping block. it’s a good scene! clearly they think it’s a good scene if they released it anyway!

sorry to bring a production perspective to the storytelling zone, but it was only a ten episode run. they haven’t done one that short since the pilot season, and there are so many more characters now, FULLY established characters. plus, at the end of the day: it’s a job. certain actors are contracted for certain types and amounts of screen time and, no matter what they film, that has to be fulfilled in the final cut 🤷

i also desperately wish they could have kept it in the show, it was such a great moment! but i promise it is sooooo not that serious. and tbh im glad to be getting the bonus scenes that they obviously wished they’d been able to include!

In my honest opinion, Season Zero handled the Shadi episodes (and the whole “two souls in one body” thing) far better than Duelist Kingdom could ever hope to achieve

Part three of the Ace attorney/Gravity falls crossover comic! Why am I making this? To silence the screams!

I'm so tired of age gap fics please if i can suspend my disbelief about mushroom zombies I can suspend my disbelief about the reader's age not being equivalent to my own, please just give me two 50(+) year old bastards falling in love no more of this 15+ year age gap I swear to god someone is gonna make me start writing last of us fanfiction at this rate.

Anyways, I would like to request some aid from the last of us fandom in terms of fic recs if anyone knows any good reader insert or x reader fics wherein they and joel are around the same age? Pre or post outbreak, au, I don't care I'm starving please if anyone has any let me know.

EDIT: I did not think this was going to get any traction which in hindsight was kinda stupid of me but I really want to clarify something since I originally left it in the tags which I probably shouldn't have. THIS ISNT A HIT PEICE. I've been a fanfic writer for years now even if this blog isn't exactly a great example of my supposed stellar writing consistency. I mean no hate towards the people who like age gap or write it it just isn't my thing personally and I would like to read fics that explore other topics besides that when it comes to this fandom. Yes I understand the easy solution is to write my own and i would be a liar to say I wasn't but I'm new to this fandom and still consuming the actual content and I know my drafts aren't exactly great right now in part because of that. What I wanted to accomplish here wasn't just to complain a little but to reach out and ask if anyone could point me in the direction of non age gap fics in the mean time and they did so thank you very much!! I genuinely appreciate it. Write what you like but understand that I also reserve the right to read what I like and to ask for help in finding it because let's be honest tumblrs search and filter system is non existent and asking for help was my next best bet so uh yeah I'm gonna stop rambling now and refine this maybe when I'm more awake and can word things better probably.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Penelope won the heir race but she should be at the club 😭

Things that don't break Zato's zombie stoicism: being stabbed, getting stuck in purgatory, almost being nuked, his victim ex trying to re-kill him, being confronted by and almost killed by the man whose life he ruined for profit

Things that do: his dad being nice to someone else

Jenson had morals, ethics, and beliefs. He was a good professor, hell, a great one. His students adored him, his peers considered him a good friend, and he was published and constantly working on new research.

Someone with morals, ethics, and beliefs didn't fuck his student. They didn't. It didn't matter that the student was of legal, consenting, adult age. It didn't matter how hot and fuckable they were. It didn't matter how much the student flirted and teased. None of that mattered because, at the end of the day, there was a power imbalance and morally wrong as a professor.

But Jenson's morals, ethics, and beliefs had flown out the window when Daniel Ricciardo had come to his office hours to discuss his last paper on Bentham and utilitarianism. From what Jenson recalled, Daniel hadn't done great on the paper. There were things about utilitarianism that he hadn't been able to fully conceptualize in his paper.

Fucking utilitarianism and Daniel asking, "So what Bentham is essentially saying is that actions are morally right if they promote pleasure and happiness."

And while Daniel wasn't wrong in his summary, there were intricacies to Bentham's work, utilitarianism, and moral rightness. However, none of that is said because Jenson has a 20-year-old Daniel on his knees in front of him with apparent intentions of what he was offering.

"So Bentham-"

"Please don't talk about Bentham when you're on your knees in front of me," Jenson groaned. He did not want to talk about ethics philosophers when his student was seconds away from sucking his cock on university grounds.

"Can I talk about Bentham if I'm bent over the desk for you?" Daniel questions. And for a moment, a very brief moment, Jenson does consider it.

"No," Jenson replies, "I only have ten minutes before a meeting with the Dean." God, was he really about to meet with his boss minutes after getting sucked off by a student? He doesn't have much time to think about it because Daniel's got Jenson's belt undone.

"Is this a display of Bentham's idea of moral rightness? We're both receiving pleasure from this action," Daniel questions.

Fucking hell.

"I'll change your grade from a D to a B+ if you just get on with it and stop talking about moral rightness, Mr. Ricciardo," Jenson sighs. He's going to hell.

"If that is what you want, professor," Daniel grins up at him as he finally takes Jenson's dick in his mouth. And he's good, great even at hollowing his cheeks and sucking and licking and destroying any sense of morals that Jenson held as a professor.

Fucking minx. He's going to hell regardless, so he might as well enjoy it.

tbhk 115 rant </3

god this whole chapter was a harder read than the entirety of jjk

obviously the biggest change in this chapter was hanako following his future as planned

before actually reading the chapter i alrdy saw the panels and read through em but actually reading it and not through a tiktok slideshow fr broke me

when i first read that hanako was supposed to be a science teacher i cried

but now that im reading about hanako being a science teacher, one that students are comfortable enough to be asking for advice and career guidance and can genuinely have fun with I'M CRYING AGAIN WAAAAHHG

he looks like such a friendly teacher i'd love him irl, as someone who would've joined an astronomy club if my school had had one :')

and with this new present, the fact that kou and nene never interacted, HANAKO AND NENE NEVER MET AS WELL

i hate this 😭 bring the old timeline back..

that whole scene with nene talking about how the 'plant' she's been taking care of, which represents the old world

being replaced with a "prettier" pot of plant, the new present which is indeed more peaceful and has lesser problems and everyone is enjoying themselves in this new world, save for the people who have memories of the old world who are suffering instead...

but as nene expressed, it was important to both her and us readers

and from here it's like she's not giving up on it, even if it's been causing her so much problems

she's giving her best to nurture and fix it, or at least make it bloom a flower, to at least have one good thing come out from all this struggle

sighhhh aidairo loves bittersweet pain.. everyone else is happy or just content but my girl nene just can't catch a break

the only plus in this new present is this yuri scene <3

aonene my beloved 🙏

Baby Edmund?!

[khattikeri]

honestly as an adult i hate that even stories for adults are turning into therapy speak mouthpieces with moral lessons and explicit verbal making up at the end of every conflict. like congrats you reinvented the 1950s american family sitcom but somehow even more annoying

[soaps-mohawk]

Hey! I love your story so so much and I always look forward to new chapters!

I do have a question though. Is the whole General Shepard cameras thing still is part of the story? I feel like the buildup was so good and then it just disappeared and became unimportant. Like if the guys never find out about it, it's whatever.

I dont mean this as an insult to your writing at all, but I'm just wondering if it's gonna come back at all since it's been so long since it's been thought about by the mc.

Again, I love your work

You'll have to wait and see
