#prompt 2 for the hater lol

[ramenhue88]

Kyoko and Homura

I was reading some fan work (It's about Kyoko and Sayaka baiting Homura to help them with their summer homework) online and the author pointed something out. (Read from right to left)

And it really is true, Homura never calls Sayaka by just her first name. Homura only calls two people by their first name. The first one is, of course, Madoka. The second one is...

Kyoko Sakura I immediately thought of the relationship between these two in the series.

^ This one where Kyoko respects Homura and their deal. She lets Homura deal with Sayaka instead of interfering. There was a vibe of friendly banter with the two of them. Something Homura hasn't shown the other girls in the series. It's because everyone was automatically hostile towards Homura (I mean... can you blame them?). Surprisingly, even when Homura threatened Kyoko (their first meeting where Homura saved Sayaka), Kyoko never took it to heart. She still had the heart to banter with Homura even after that exchange.

^ In this scene where Homura introduces the Walpurgis to Kyoko, she tries to connect to Homura by telling her that the two of them are exactly the same. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. But I see this as an attempt of Kyoko to get Homura to open up to her instead of having such a professional relationship.

^ This, where Kyoko doesn't angrily lash out at Homura for trying to kill Sayaka, but she tries to get an answer to Homura's actions. Kyoko understands that Homura is a person that acts on reason not on emotion. (But we know she acts more on emotion when it comes to Madoka) So Homura suddenly wanting to kill Sayaka was mysterious to her. (But not for us because we know what prompted her to want to kill Sayaka was for Madoka's sake)

^ In the series' timeline, Kyoko was the only one who knew what Homura can do because Homura told her, AND ONLY HER because Homura knows that she's substantially A LOT weaker if people knew what she can do, see Mami vs Homura in Rebellion. Homura's whole game plan hinges on the enemy not knowing what she can do. So, her telling Kyoko what kind of magic she has, shows that she trusts Kyoko with this knowledge. (Also, side note, Homura really is just the number 1 Sayaka hater, telling Kyoko to "toss that useless hunk of meat aside" lol).

^ In this part Kyoko repeats what Homura told her before and you can see that Homura feels some regret talking to her like that. I would like to think that Kyoko was referring to herself when she said "burden" because Walpurgis IS THE FIGHT and Kyoko will be a burden if she were to survive. But I think what's really happening is that she's just returning what Homura told her. (Like the friendly banter I mentioned earlier). Calling Homura a burden as a one last "GOTCHA!" to her friend. Now let's go to Rebellion.

^ Homura called out to Kyoko first because she was "acting differently from what I know". This just implies that Homura knows Kyoko more than the other 2 (Mami and Sayaka). Homura knows Kyoko as the aggressive and 'in your face' type of person. I also like to think that Homura is closer to Kyoko than them. If Homura were to rank them, it would be. 1. Madoka 2. Kyoko 3. Mami 4. Sayaka (Sayaka hater inbound) When it came to Kyoko too, she also saw Homura as someone who was acting out of character. Thus her comment..

(Bonus: Kyoko's act of friendship is sharing her food because how important it is to her.)

When Homura found out who was the witch, she called Kyoko immediately and updated her.

^ We get this scene where she hurriedly wants to help Homura. Dropping everything that is going on, wanting to help her friend with the problem she's facing.

^ Homura also apologizing to Kyouko as a last farewell to her. In Homura's POV this is her last call before she dies, before she becomes a witch. Homura chose to call Kyoko for 4 possible reasons. 1. It's to update Kyoko on what happened to her. 2. Bid farewell to a dear friend (I like this one the most) 3. Apologize to Kyoko for putting the Quintet in risk, so that she can ease some of the pain in her heart. She wouldn't call Madoka because she already had a heartfelt moment with her in the flower field. This scene, this wonderful scene of these two.

^ This scene alone shows so much about the relationship of this two. Kyouko mourning the loss of her friend and that face touch. It shows how emotionally intimate Kyouko is as a person (We already saw that in the series with Sayaka). And maybe she blames herself for not being able to help Homura with whatever happened. These 2 really trust each other and care for each other. I am inclined to believe that in one of Homura's timelines, Kyouko told her all about her past and Homura in return told her of hers. That would explain the connection these two have. I can see these two as very, VEry ,VERY close friends. In the end of Rebellion. Homura made Kyoko their classmate and put her beside Sayaka because she knows that these two are close to each other and care for each other. Homura knows that this is what will make Kyoko happy.

(Oh Homura, how nice of you)

^ In the final scene we can see Kyoko and Sayaka having fun in their new life thanks to the new world Homura sewed up for them.

^ I don't know what Homura and Kyoko's relationship is in this new world. But I hope it's a good one because the friendship in this two is something that I've always held in high regard in the series.

BONUS This is from a memoria from the gacha game (RIP NA) Magia Record titled, "My School Life". The descriptions reads: Perhaps another world could have existed where Witches weren't a part of my day-to-day life. Maybe I would have gone to school like normal, chatted with friends like normal, and gone home after school like normal. And it's cute that the picture they used is Homura and Kyoko.

5. If this character were a woman, would you honestly still like them? Or in reverse, what if they were a man?

If they didn’t mess with his character/appearance the way they normally do in art I wouldn’t but I do not want to see the weird hourglass figure big lips and eyelashes thing they do to Girls tm in art to him.

Idk what a bad interpretation would be exactly. I’m sure if I heard one I would loudly defend him. But mostly I do so jokingly lol

He’s more of a jumping up and down excitedly situation than a laughing one. But if crazed giggling counts

He’s a classic red-and-gold fairytale dragon and it just hits so good. Classic trope for a reason. Also I love the mental image of his jewel-encrusted waistcoat

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

Mmmm I love his vanity ngl, he’s a little shit and I adore that. I think we should all speak in riddles about ourselves. Imposter syndrome would be cured instantly. That might just fix Genesis

Maxiel prompt: anything to do with wag Daniel.

daniel is a fan-favourite wag-- or like, as much of a fan favourite as you can be while still being a wag (there will always be strange haters). he's a bit weirded out by it all at first, the attention for literally just seeing a guy (and max is, definitely in all ways just some guy) but daniel is also a bit of a peacock in every universe, so OBVIOUSLY thrives off of this

daniel loves those wag fashion accounts he finds them so funny but also likes to be helpful-- sometimes when he sees that they've gone hat: unknown, he'll reach out and be like hey bought my hat from (x brand) btw!

he likes posting max, making tiktoks with him etc. not just in big ways but subtle ones too (think: lily muni he's brillll socials presence) and like... daniel understands marketing and the importance of image and sure, it's not like this is some kind of PR relationship, or that he's shelling out their life for content but... he's always liked documenting!!

daniel makes his .jpg acc in this verse and it blows up, obviously, he just gets along with everyone really well and at this point its like, 2-3 years into their relationship so he's been in the paddock a ton now and just hung out with drivers/their wags in a normal way. so he CAN just go up to valtteri (who they see a lot if they're all in melbs/aus) and be like LOL CHEESE! (everyone finds it rlly funny when he gets in 'trouble' then has to put that 'licensed photographer' sticker on his camera from the f1 officials) daniel changes his bio to say an official f1 photographer 📷 for shits and giggles

the first time he gets interviewed in the paddock he doesn't even remember what he says-- totally blanks out and just rambles because he's already nervous and oh god totally not pr trained and-- gah! he's sure it's a weird rambling mess! except then he catches up to max later and max is like "so i heard you were off being famous!" and daniels like urghh no don't make fun of me, and max is like what? no you were rlly great apparently! very impressive. and daniels like oh.... oh okay :)

max and daniel do NOT do soft launching-- they literally go on a few dates fall very hard and fast in love and then daniel is being hard posted on max's ig bc he does not do social conventions like that lmfao. max is very like but im dating you... so im going to post our photos together. obviously. and daniels like oh but the mystery! the intrigue! max finds it rlly funny.

they do dinner at the horners pretty often-- daniel always says he feels like some kind of real housewife, which max finds hilarious, and they get very VERY drunk on their expensive gins.

Hi 👋. Saw your recent take on how fandom interpret MQ. And I would to here your thoughts about him being the tsundere people try to make him out to be.

MQ trying to make it up to XL when really FX was the only one still sincere. I've only read up to vol. 4 and reread vol. 1 and 2 to get a better look at details. But there are some concerning lines that even XL noticed. Like MQ seems excited at the prospect of XL becoming this mass murder during the Guoshi FangXin reveal. Even the first introductions in the book was him mocking XL's helpful nature.

"Mu Qing’s eyes were glimmering, however, and his restrained shock contained a faint underlying excitement." TGCF Vol. 2 chapter 18

"Since his third ascension, there could only be one phrase to describe the way Mu Qing treated him: passive-aggressive. It always felt like he was waiting for Xie Lian to get booted for the third time so he could make snide remarks. Yet now that Xie Lian might actually get booted that third time, he suddenly became pleasant—he even came specially to deliver medication. This complete reversal in attitude made Xie Lian feel quite disconcerted." TGCF Vol.2 chapter 19

Even XL was freaked out by MQ acting nice to him.

"Mu Qing suddenly asked, “Was everything Lang Qianqiu said true? Did you really kill those Yong’an royals?”

Xie Lian looked up and met his gaze. Even if Mu Qing had been forcibly hiding it, Xie Lian still detected a trace of uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. He seemed highly interested in the details of Xie Lian’s massacre at the Gilded Banquet—he followed with another question.

“How did you kill them?” TGCF Vol. 2 chapter 19

And after XL half lied about his involvement.

"Feng Xin paled. Mu Qing loathed that expression of his the most and said in annoyance, “All right, put that face away. After everything, for who are you looking so pained?”" TGCF vol. 2 chapter 19

I'm not reading this wrong to think MQ is just a very entitled b****** that got high on his position of power and is looking down on XL for coming from a place which is lower than what most people would go through? Is it appropriate for me to interpret him being downright hostile and reveling in XL's disgrace? Because the stans take for MQ questionable character is bothering me a lot. He is not some prickly cat with a soft heart. He is sharp thorns all the way inside and a heart colder than most.

Unless something changes in further volumes I haven't read which is unlikely. Considering MXTX penchant for consistent character writing.

Thoughts?

Something does change about Mu Qing’s character near the end of the novel, but it’s just character growth. You aren’t misreading any of his actions in the earlier parts of the story. What kills me is that yes, Mu Qing is a terrible person who is petty and jealous and insecure and thinks that the only problem with hierarchy is that he isn’t at the top, but he changes and people ignore that! In the best interest of not introducing spoilers, I will say that Mu Qing does explicitly, using clear language, acknowledge his mistakes and how wrong he was about how he viewed Xie Lian and his treatment of the other man. He acknowledges this on his own under no threat and with no prompting. And people ignore this because it does not fit into their perception of Mu Qing as either right or at least well-meaning. He is neither of those things. He knows it. Xie Lian knows it. But he can be those things if he puts effort into it, and for all people call me a hater about his character (which, yeah lol), I for one think he tries by the end.

So no, Mu Qing isn’t a tsundere because he’s not being mean or rude or petty to those he loves to hide a mushy middle. He’s doing it because he thinks he is right to and that eventually people will see that he is right. The story does not agree he is right and duly punishes him for his fuckery, and he changes into a better person who is actually nicer to his friends because he wants to be their friends and not their superiors. That’s his character.

All about me and Pipes' Directory

Well, hello Tumblr in general and writeblr in particular! Had this account for a while (Branding is important), and with the return of my enter key I can actually format this stuff appropriately!

So heya! I'm Cecelia/ClearedPipes, I'm British and all of 23 years old! I use she/her pronouns, and am an employed individual (So may not be available 24/7).

I read the Hunger Games for the first time at 12, and have spent a hell of a long time since (from ~15) reading the fanfiction people produce! I started properly publishing it in June of 2024, and that's (not) all she wrote)! My AO3 and FFN accounts are both ClearedPipes, and how I got to that name is courtesy of a not so long story I've prepared to post on Friday, June 13th 2025 (my 1 year anniversary)I am also a District 1 (Hunger Games) enthusiast, so treat that as you will!

Outside of the Hunger Games, well. I'm soon to be engaged to a lovely woman, my favourite musical artists are too diverse to talk about in certainty (Amelie Farren, Nightwish and Ramin Djawadi being my 3 most listened artists speaks to this), and my favourite books are Angels and Demons, The Hunger Games (hope you'd expected this) and the ASOIAF set. Stannis Baratheon haters DNI (For legal reasons this is a joke).

In visual media, my favourite movies are The Rock (1996), National Treasure 1/2 and the first 4 Pirates of the Caribbean because 5 is... also there. My favourite shows are Game of Thrones, The X-Files, Doctor Who and Andor (Arcane is also up there)

I'd expect most of you are here for the writing, which I do way too much of. I've got a few active projects at the moment (Albeit have fully handled one of them and got it all predone), so that's fun! Posting dates for my big fics are every Friday (Alternating between LIAB and NBC), so that's when you can expect me to get handling things!

Pipes' Mainline (Canon-Compliant until SOTR hits like a plane into a tower)

None By Chance

This is my main one. My firstborn daughter, arguably the one I love the most, and the one that's expected to be the longest (Current projection is 432,000 words). An anthology of the Victors between the 1st and 75th Games, and providing a glance into their world because they need that glance.

None by Chance AO3 None by Chance FFN

Lightning in a Bottle

My second child, and one I've spent significant time writing to make sure it's all ready for posting ^^. The story of the 67th Games, and one girl's journey through it, written as an addition to None by Chance.

Pipes' Secondary Line (Written in a divergent universe from canon, so the stuff is not Canon-Compliant)

Mentor's Guide to the Reaping

Lol guys what if mentors had a little guide to make sure they stayed on track with what the Capitol expected of them? Well, it was certainly fun to write, and helped me canonize a lot of details, so that's that!

TFIMW: I promised this for 31st January 2025, so until then I'll leave y'all with a nice beefy lore document to tide you over!

Justice's monthly prompt sets!

SunnyJustice popped out some incredible sets of prompts in Careertober and Tributember, so I've thus far been endeavouring to follow them to get lore all handled for TFIMW! I will also promise that there are spoilers for both of my longfics in here, so do read with warning!

Valiant: Careertober (AO3) Valiant: Careertober (FFN)

And that's all, folks! If you have gotten to the end, many congratulations, and feel free to HMU here or elsewhere!

Until next time, Pipes out!

🍓,🌵 and 🕯️for ask game!

🍓 ive always been coming up with whump fanfic and original characters for my favorite media but i never wrote any of them down. what got me to start writing was following writing prompt blogs on tumblr and thinking "this idea could fit this ship, i bet i could write that" and i did manage if only once haha! what really got me into writing fic though was joining fandom secret santa events, and then writing 100-word drabbles regularly. on twitter, for some reason (with twitlonger to get around the character limit lol). for a bonus, what got me started writing for ffxiv was the lv 45 drk quest lol i was a huge hater of the writing of those quests but that one got me ngl

🌵 ahh i cant answer this one sorry >_< i lost my spotify acc and playlists i dont rly listen to music so much anymore

🕯 2 u_u idk i used to love editing other peoples work, i still do tbh but i like editing my own stuff so much less. and asking someone else to do it least of all. my work just isnt good for it i fear bc its like one single sentence worth of idea without much else going on, it just feels like a waste of time to edit. but then something you cant be bothered to edit surely isnt worth much to read either so augh. also like gunk pointed out one time i love to fuck around w words and sentences and what they can mean when arranged slightly to the left and i hate editing those quirks out even when theyre not very good or particularly serving the writing. this is all i have! if you take it away ive got nothing left to offer ;w;

[the-blue-fairie]

hey, no worries at all about venting in the tags of... your reblog of my reblog of your post, lol!! as i mentioned, i was trying to find a completely different old post by someone else, and then ended up seeing your post in my search and i just feel that it's a great explanation of some of the issues that i have with the ending. i can totally understand why people who like the idea behind the ending and what the writers were trying to say with it want to defend it, to an extent, but i agree with you that they just didn't successfully say that. which only makes me more frustrated with the ending than i imagine i would've been otherwise. and i'm sorry people have been trying to group you in with frozen 2 haters when you didn't want to be seen that way! and to me, the posts of yours that i've read about the movie (including the one i reblogged that prompted this ask) never came off that way either. you always seemed like someone who had your issues with it and criticisms of it, but could also still see positives in it and things to celebrate about it.

Thank you for sending me this message. I apologize for not replying for a day; life got a bit busy.

Looking back on my old discussions of F2, I feel I was hamstrung by not wanting to make my friends angry. I have friends who are fans of F2 and, while I wrote those posts, I was cripplingly scared that they would stop being friends with me, or unfollow me, or dismiss my critiques as mere negativity. In fact, my fears were justified. Some of these people DID unfollow me and DID tell me I was being overwhelmingly negative. This broke my heart - especially because I spilled so much ink trying to balance every negative I discussed with a positive and celebrating the good elements, but it felt like it didn't matter. It didn't matter how anxious I was to be understood, it didn't matter that I was writing in good faith. And that hurt.

I also feel that I was intimidated by the extreme sides of the fandom. If, for example, I wrote a post criticizing Elsa's arc, anti-Elsa people could jump on it and say, "See, this is why Elsa is a bad sister."

So that's why, in my vent, I said I was too kind to the film. I was so constricted by being terrified of other people's reactions - terrified of having an unpopular opinion. So I qualified all my statements with, "Of course, I don't mean to be overly negative" instead of just focusing on my points.

I just want to shake people sometimes when they tell me the point of the film and say, "They followed through on their intent with very poor execution. They DIDN'T DO the things you are saying they did. They tried, but there are scores of reasons why they did not succeed - reasons that go beyond my personal preference, that have to do with characterization, pacing, story structure, etc."

It hurts because... I feel like, in the past, I tried to force myself to like the film more than I do. I've wanted to like it for years, but the last time I put it on I broke down crying and not in a good way and I just... I wish it worked. I wish that all the various thematic threads coalesced into an emotionally satisfying whole. And I know that, because of my emotional response, people might just dismiss all my discussion - no matter how nuanced I am, no matter how fair towards the film I am in my analysis, as, "Well, you're biased from the start."

No. I've spent years trying to see all sides, empathizing with a variety of people in the fandom, sometimes even at my own expense. I do value the parts of F2 that work and acknowledge the beauty of various elements including Anna and Elsa bonding with the Northuldra, the anticolonialist themes, The Next Right Thing, and more.

But at the same time, I argue that my case against other aspects of the film is robust, cohesive, and correct.

And to the friends that can see I am writing not to be a hater, but in good faith with actual analysis and discussion in mind - you mean the world to me. Thank you.

Sorry, this became kind of a vent in itself.

You gotta only prompt it is something deadly wrong or make a chart that that worse route must be canon and the non canon route as the only way it could be be good.

Twisted form of caring or farming a crowd of losers.

Care so much you use the path of a glorified hot I mean mid shot of a common confirmed Lila hater and their Miraculous Recreation Backstory AU who got Chloe to use an unfixed at the time peacock miraculous and she was more wrecked than Nathalie in such a short time (and that's when everyone seemed to start feeling bad for her) as a attempt to make it make sense of the situation to satisfy viewers ctrl c ctrl v status quo template as best route (and even then it's weird still which amuses me lol).

It's pretty lousy take thousands flock over and shows once again people forget what a cartoon is. Please also go expand your horizon of cartoons. It's just sad now.

Hey I got a better idea.

What if her moms don't care, get preoccupied, don't mind.

Or worse, which is accept Lila for Lila?

Oh wait have you also realized the environment in Miraculous doesn't care like certains think should be care for? Surely this is a common occurrence in Miraculous where aversion and neglect is a thing. Rewatch

Try making sense of things and wanting things to be real life when it's not real life or not suppose to be so realistic.

Haven't you seen the New York and Shanghai special and this magical world of Miraculous.

You will or should already realize even real life can be and is nonsensical too.

Ah viewers love choose when to try to decide when to keep the sanctuary of their foolishness and arrogance a float when they clearly discovered things that appear foreign to their standards in fiction and non fiction or real life.

Targetting and Truly unable to be better than Marinette.

Like why are you so miraculously invested in this against Lila Rossi?

*Polygamy* EH minor inconvenience.

*Kid with more than 2 moms (when we you see occurrences of 2 dads or moms in shows)* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Minor inconvenience manages to becomes their real struggle in life so they um shatter, become coocoo and proceed with twisted predestination or wilder theories than FNAF or all is in purgatory in Ed Edd n Eddy*

that was your hiatus ??? girl if you don’t hit the one direction guys up rn & teach them & thing or two about how long an appropriate hiatus should be … 🙄🙄🙄 anyway, sister, how is ms bunny girl gonna get mad at joshua for doing what he did when at the end of the day even she recognized she wouldn’t have told him about her feelings if that 3some hadn’t happened 😭😭 then she’s gonna go see jeonghan & talk about one look at his eyes & she knew joshua was right about her being in love with him … LOVE ???? we were just talking about marriage & kids with joshua ???? hear me out, maybe i’m just being a hater because WHY WOULD ANYBODY IN THIS WORLD EVER THINK ABOUT HURTING JOSHUA EVEN IF ITS FICTIONAL / HYPOTHETICAL / MADE UP ???? but why do i lowkey want her to end up alone & sad. 🥱 tbh joshua is a better person than me because wtf do you mean you fell in love with my best friend ??? 👁️👄👁️ anyway, this is my last week of classes, i have 2 finals next week & then graduation 😭😭😭 i’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel & i feel so much lighter now that i’m nearing the end which is what prompted this in depth review of bunny & her scandalous activities lol lmk in the comments down below if i should cut her some slack & stay tuned for her redemption era ����

okay yes i need to take a longer hiatus maybe 🤔

bunny got mad because joshua sort of forced her to admit/realize that she had some feelings for jeonghan... which in truth is something she couldn't control. but josh thought he could, thus making them (hannie and bunny) kiss and quite literally fuck in front of him for them to be more open with their feelings for each other

i think that bunny wouldn't have realized she loved jeonghan if joshua hadn't pushed her to do so. i think she would've loved him platonically while jeonghan was always aware that he loved her... but she's joshua's girl, so he had to walk away

i'm not saying you're wrong for your opinion! you can hate bunny and want her to be alone, it's fine haha. all i'm trying to say is that she's not the sole culprit of this mess

her love for jeonghan doesn't diminish her love for joshua. she can love both. that's all i want to make very clear again

anyway, i wish you all the good luck in your finals!! 🩵

20 questions for fic writers

Thanks very much to @sallysavestheday and @thelordofgifs for the tag! I don't think I've ever done this one before, so let's give this a try.

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 27

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 164,434

3. What fandoms do you write for? Only the Silmarillion

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? - Atandil (part 1 of the series by the same name) - Atanatárissë - Grief in All Her Guises (Atandil part 2) - In Memory Untarnished (Atandil part 8) - Ye Shall Render Blood (Atandil part 4).

5. Do you respond to comments? Yep! I think I have responded to all of them, but I'm sorry if one fell through the cracks there. Comments are honestly a huge part of what keeps me writing and I want to make sure they know I've seen and appreciate them.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably In These Holy Waters? Though I got a lot of screaming in the comments on A Heady Fragrance of Honey also, so I'll drop that in as an honorable mention.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Feeling convicted about how hard this is to find a happy one lol. I think probably By Any Other Name, which was a little Finrod/Bëor fluff piece I wrote for @actual-bill-potts last year.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not so far. Or wait, maybe? There was a weird anon about one of the sentence prompt ficlets on here awhile back where Bëor was having a lot of intentional "accidental-innuendos," but I don't think I'll dignify that by calling it fic hate.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I wrote two (here and here since they're posted anon), but not sure if I'll try my hand at that again or not. It was really a really helpful exercise to work past a lot of baggage I still had from growing up in a very conservative family where shame was the prevailing attitude toward anything related to sex. But I don't know that I'll write more - it's very out of my comfort zone 😂

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I'm not sure what a crossover is, so that probably means no?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! One of the aforementioned smut pieces was just translated a couple months ago.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not so far, but @actual-bill-potts and I periodically joke about co-writing a modern Finrod/Bëor AU so who knows what might happen :)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Surprising no one but myself (I was initially a hater and reread the Athrabeth to prove to myself it was impossible...and came out of that with a series that's 135k and counting), it's Finrod/Bëor.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Probably this Dior Eluchíl idea. I'm very attached to it, but I think I may have permanently stalled on it.

16. What are your writing strengths? Worldbuilding and dialogue, I think? But I'm horrible at listing strengths (looking at you dreaded resume process), so it may be something entirely different. These are the ones I feel most confident about, at least.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Humor, believable flirtation, battles, politics, trade strategies etc etc etc

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I do this occasionally in Atandil, but I tend to like it less for full dialogue and more for passing words - if Balan is hearing Finrod say something to another Elf in order to stress the otherness, or if they each fall back on words in their own tongue when not finding the right one in the other's. I think full dialogue would be a struggle for me.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Silm - first and only!

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Oh god. Uh. I do not know. I'm particularly fond of Darkly the Sundering Flood - one of the few I was genuinely pleased with from the get- go (normally I have a 1-2 week hate period after I post anything). But And Still the Light Returns is also a top contender from Atandil because I really enjoyed exploring the parent-child dynamics between Balan and both his sons. Also because of the duck story. I dearly love the duck story.

Thanks so much for the tag! I've been out on a work trip for the last week and not on Tumblr much, so I have no idea who has been tagged in this so far...just ignore this if you've already had one. 😂 Tagging @that-angry-noldo, @searchingforserendipity25, @outofangband, @melestasflight, and anyone else who would like to join in!

[katyspersonal]

i hate to be that guy but i wish there were more bb fics that were less smut and more lore bc for such a rich story there is mostly just nsfw stuff in the ao3 tag lol. but no offense if ppl like that..

Your feelings are valid, anon!

Like, yeah, it is one of those 'kinda petty gripe' moments I was talking about! People are completely valid to spend their time and effort on what makes them (and often their mutuals and fans) happy! Yet at the same time, I am myself a huge fucking NERD about timeline, concepts, worldbuilding, messages, philosophy, specifics of factions and covenants, systems of 'magic' and science within the lore and all that, and if presented with a choice between the hottest fanfic for my OTP or an oddly detailed fictional research paper on something complex that went within the lore, I'd not even hesitate to pick the latter xd

There ARE many things to think about in BB, yes! My personal favorite to dissect were how Kin works and headanons about Great Ones (ALL of them). I have not found a cool way to put my BB worldbuilding dissections into a fic, tho... :') Me and @val-of-the-north also dream of writing a large prequel of Pthumerians history with what predated dungeons and some known characters. But we are more visual artists than writers. Sigh!

I could offer an advice for the situation when you have a gripe with something that is most popular in a fandom, and wish people did more interesting stuff:

1) Have a tiny group of people who are bitter about the same thing (can also be conveniently put in a Discord chat)! It is extremely therapeutic to have a few friends with whom you can be haters together, so you vent it all out and go to the 'public' fandom all happy and cheerful, not carrying this negativity to the open internet where people that love [a thing] can see it. I mean- I do have a group like this! Our most frequient petty haters sessions are pouting at the fact that this or that character only gets remembered as part of a ship and not as their own person xd Feeling heard in a small group where your words can't hurt anyone, nor anyone will guilt you for being "entitled" is just. good.

2) Create the stuff you would like to see more of (drawings, fanfics, essays, theories, headcanons, memes prompting an idea in a subtle way even), or encourage people to think more about this stuff (prompting discussions, buying art/fic commissions, doing trades (art for fic, for example), catching a person that accepts requests and spending yours on what you'd like to see more of, sending people asks that could trigger to develop something about lore etc). Really mind the latter, though! Like... trust me dude, even if you can't draw or write, nor have enough money for commissions, you can still cause pretty tangible influence on creativity! If you just say right things at the right time to the right people. Heck- I more or less got some skill at inspiring people creatively <:3 Like... I prompt a person to think of this or that theme or character, and before I know it they already developed something because of that discussion? (not tryna boast xd) Or another good example is @heraldofcrow who mastered the skill of prompting discussions about Bloody Crow sooooo well that people keep becoming his fans because of her, and some are even drawing him thanks to her! I constantly see people creating more content of the boy thanks to her, and all she did was simply talking to them! xD A gripe at a character, theme, concept etc not being popular enough can cause GREAT things to happen and you can become people's MUSE! 😎

_______________

Hmmmm I think that's it! Basically? You probably have more charisma to inspire writers (including to fiddle with lore) than you are aware of. They need readers, AND they need ideas. You will figure this out! ...or even write a killer fanfic yourself.

[sohoharlem]

Wait, creepy how? What the fuck did I miss lol / i suppose anon (very funny coming from Sebastian's fandom lol) finds her sm behaviour inappropriate.

She watches stories when people tag her/reads tweets

there was that situation with helicopter video last year when she liked/unliked a comment about Sebastian's voice

she accidentally followed/unfollowed a Dakota Johnson acc (which prompted CDAN to write a blind about her stalking Chris&Dakota on the streets)

The latest i recall: she accidentally followed Sebastian's fan acc who hates her and believes in fake rs theories, claiming poor baby looks miserable. So, when fans noticed and started tagging her to explain it's her hater, the pr crew turned it upside down and spread the narrative "Annabelle threw poor mentally unstable child behind this fan acc under the bus of shippers' hate", calling both Annabelle and fans bullies. She unfollowed 2-3 days later

Oh, and when Sebastian was in Paris for Loewe show, she&her friend followed the live broadcast page, meaning, i guess, they wanted to watch it.

Basically, she sometimes behaves like a normal person with a private insta. It's ok for everyone else but since she's a celebrity, she's "a creepy stalker". Then again, these people believed Alejandra and Sebastian didn't communicate before arriving to Prague, and she was "staaaaaaalking" him around the city before he even came there/didn't know his hotel/etc. So it's not surprising they believe watching a Loewe show was Annabelle's only chance to see him (despite the fact they were just in Barcelona together and, judging by their next papwalk, he brought her Loewe purse from new collection😉)

Thank you for explaining your view. You do make good points as well. Anon to anon.

Reminder, just speak kindly to each other and we can continue conversations like this even when disagreeing with each other.

entrevista

Vamos começar pelo início. Conte-nos, brevemente, sobre sua família, sua infância e adolescência. Em que momento percebeu que queria ser atleta? Foi algo específico ou um desejo que cresceu em você?

É complicado, quer dizer, parte da minha família é complicada. Desde pequeno sempre fui muito incentivado a estudar por conta dos meus pais, eles queriam que eu fosse “algo na vida”, mas nunca tive nenhum talento acadêmico. Era sempre uma cobrança que eu não conseguia lidar. Fora que eles estavam sempre brigando, fosse por minha causa, ou por causa do meu irmão. Eles são separados, sabe? E brigaram até mesmo para ver com quem ficaria a guarda. Sempre que isso acontecia eu não sabia onde enfiar a cara e quando comecei com minhas lives na Twitch, um lugar que eu me sentia acolhido, percebi que era exatamente isso que eu queria fazer. Num surto momentâneo, meu irmão e eu decidimos ir para a Coreia do Sul morar com nosso avô e foi aí que as coisas começaram a melhorar. 

Qual sua lembrança mais marcante, seja como espectador ou em sua carreira, relacionada ao seu esporte? E ainda sobre lembranças marcantes, existe alguém que te inspirou e inspira até hoje? Por quê?

No início da minha carreira, eu gostava muito de acompanhar lives, acredito que isso me incentivou muito a ser quem eu sou hoje. Lembro de um streamer que eu acompanhava (hoje em dia ele já não faz mais lives) e ele me chamou para jogar junto com ele. Olha, a live estourou a bolha, um monte de pessoal começou a assistir a gente, fizemos mais algumas juntos e hoje em dia se minha carreira se consolidou é por causa dele. Realmente minha inspiração. 

Pode nos contar, brevemente, sobre sua trajetória no esporte até o momento? E como é o seu reconhecimento dentro do cenário esportivo?

Não faz muito tempo que comecei, ta ali meio que em 2020 quando entrei no Gangnam (e isso foi depois de já ter uma fanbase consolidada na Twitch). Então, decidi procurar alguém para realmente me ajudar a me especializar, eu queria jogar em times maiores e não só de forma amadora. Então, foi no Gangnam que me consolidei e olha, nós éramos muito bons, pegamos sempre o pódio, foram assim anos de ouro. Estar aqui na Hamdeok não é diferente, eu gosto de ser um dos Dragons, nós fomos muito bem nos últimos Nacionais, ainda mais levando em consideração que éramos uma equipe iniciante, já que nunca tínhamos jogado juntos antes. 

Como atleta, quais as maiores dificuldades que você enfrenta no dia a dia? Como você lida com elas?

Com toda certeza a luz do computador e vez ou outra coluna doendo, mãos doloridas… Quem fala que ser jogador de LOL é fácil, é porque nunca esteve na nossa posição! Mas acho que os haters também são complicados, vez ou outra tenho que ficar apagando coisa do chat, porque é assim, num nível absurdo. 

O que torna o Hamdeok Complex diferente para você em comparação aos outros Centros de Treinamento Olímpico?

Acho que não preciso comparar os dois complexos que estive, certo? Mas aqui no Hamdeok, temos a Kiyoon e eu adoro ela! Quando fiquei sabendo que ela assumiria o time de E-Sports aqui do complexo, não pensei duas vezes em me mudar para cá e olha, eu não estava errado não!

12/30/24

Ok LOL i definitely haven’t journaled consistently at all but it’s ok. I lowkey wish I had prompts for each day so maybe I should identify what personal stuff I want to track daily? I’m going to try to reflect on the week now. I remember feeling like shit and being cranky ash the 25th and then decided to start taking adderall again so I feel like im rotting less and it definitely helped because I started my hobbies (painting) agsin. I’m lowkey a shit painter but it’s relaxing to do the painting strokes while I watch smth bc it feels like at least im creating something; I do want to get better at painting. I also want to get better at identifying and expressing my emotions. It has reignited my Stucky obsession though which is really cooked because I found one of my all time favorite series again and read like literally 300k words over like 8 hours over night and it fucked up my already fucked up sleep schedule. I love fanfic but I literally consume it so much constantly it just fills some kind of emotional gratification instantly (or it’s my go to emotional validation thing idk) like idk maybe I should look into that but idgaf. I’ve been rot maxing this winterbreak a lot and it reminds me of the behavior/self(even?) from a year ago.

This should definitely scare me because it’s honestly been a recurring TM issue like my passiveness or my lack of ambition core or like idk lacking executive function core. It’s lowkey a lot to explain at least from my perspective as the writer idk. But I’ll try because maybe it will help unpack it (though im certain I have done this before). But to keep it brief because it feels like so much work to explain but it’s my procrastination. I have been using a physical planner for all the schoolwork/job stuff I need to get done but it fails with my personal goals. For example I’ve been meaning to get into exercising for like months now and I know a lot of ppl have troubles w that but it’s trusting for me especially because im aware of just how much it would help my physical health and as a result my mental health. I feel like I’m exhausted all the time and it’s deffo bc of my eating and my mental health but even thinking abt walking around campus fills me w dread. Right now im lucky because I stay with my parents and commute and it’s more sedentary. My life has been a lot easier living with my parents but I hate it at the same time because I want to be able to function more independently and I want to get the fuck out of my midwest ass state and meet more people who are like me and not just white neurotypical losers and not to be a hater but lowkey the loser yt NDs ive had so many of u guyd as bffs and i need to branch out. Sorry loser yt NDs im one of u guys on the inside. I wanna meet more cool fashionable poc who are also nerds and have their little homebody hobbies but also are ambitious career-wise. And I think being more active would help me with the drive/motivation I want to have to live the way I want to when I move out. I think 2 major roadblocks for my exercising have been not getting the right equipment and this is some real shit not bs yoga mat or like home gym equipment shit I mean like I literally don’t have tennis shoes and comfy moveable but body safe gym clothes. And also going to the gym alone. My college has a gym but im scared of the equipment and all the exercises you can do. But lowkey none of my friends have the time or want to go to the gym. I’ve already gone through these realizations for working out already so I decided maybe stretching in the morning would be better but if I have to be honest I need to give myself like an hour and a half for my morning routine for my optimal health idk and I’ve always struggled with waking up. In fact waking up has always been really fucking hard for me and im sure it’s related to all my nighttime media consuming but whatever. Also I noticed that my planner hasn’t always been the most useful for true deep learning that I need to get done as a college student but that’s kinda beside the point bc usually if I lock in w my adderall for my lectures im pretty well off. Ok im tired of journaling this shit took like an hr to write. I have vented in my notes app before when im actually literally tweaking and I can’t just text my friends abt it and it’s been useful but idk abt this daily shit. Oh I need to leave off w this realization because I feel like it’s significant and new to me: most of the problems people will have with you will stem from you not taking care of yourself. Realized this while reading my stucky fanfic ngl.
