“Oh have you tried yoga?” “Have you tried acupuncture?” “Oh! My cousin did a juice cleanse and that worked!” “Oh have you tr—“

Oh noooooo. Did my disability remind you of your own mortality and now you feel a little scared, Nancy? That’s not my problem.

this scene really hurt my feelings

[radiance1]

Danny and (a recently revived) Jason move into an apartment together, they live right next to each other too.

The thing with this, however, is that the both of them?

They goddamn hate each other.

If murder was not illegal, they would genuinely kill each other. But since it is, they settle for the next best thing, just beating each other up on sight.

At least, until the landlord told them to not fight on their property and if they were to do it out of sight, so they don't scare away any more potential clients.

They've already scared away more than 10.

My entry for the SatoSho Discord Weekly Prompt: Just Friends

[cherrygarden1408]

Why does everyone forget that Astarion is a stupid little dum dum when it comes to his ascended version? I mean, are you really falling for his "I'M A BIG AND STRONG VAMPIRE ASCENDED™ AND NOW IF I CAN DOMINATE IN BED, I CAN DOMINATE IN EVERYTHING ELSE TOO"? Just listen to what he says; it's all fantasies about how badass he will be and some kink ideas involving throne sex. Look at him—he has no idea how he’s actually going to achieve any of it. I wish we could ask him about his plans. How does he intend to make his grand scheme for world domination a reality? I imagine it would be an extremely hilarious dialogue.

Tav/Durge: So, what’s our plan for taking control of Baldur's Gate? You sounded so confident; you must have a plan, right?

Astarion: Of course I have a plan, darling. I'm a vampire ascended; there’s nothing I can’t do. We will manipulate, puppet, dominate, and show them all how powerful we are. And voilà, we rule the city! 😁

Tav/Durge: ...Um, okay, but could you share more details about this whole 'manipulation and domination' thing? How exactly are you going to pull this off?

Astarion: Little love , there’s nothing I would like more than to paint our splendid future together. Listen closely now:

Step 1: We acquire new, fancy, and elegant clothes; we will look so fabulous in silk, diamonds, and gold! 💅

Step 2: We stand before all the patriarchs of the city in all our glory, and they will weep and cry because they’ll never be as beautiful, powerful, and fabulous as we are! 😁

Step 3: We talk to them, and they will all enthusiastically agree to do whatever we, the most perfect, intelligent, and competent people in the world, tell them to do. 😃

Step 4: We rule the city from the shadows like mastermind puppeteers we are😎

Tav/Durge: ...I really doubt it will be that easy...

Astarion: Why would you doubt that, my treasure? I am VAMPIRE ASCENDED™ and you are MY DARK CONSORT™. There’s nothing we can’t do together! 🥰

Tav/Durge: *realizing that even the sacrifice of 7,000 souls wouldn't be enough to give this man even one brain cell*

I didn’t notice this sentence when reading the draft. But now I’m thinking of the parallel to how important Navani and Jasnah are to Dalinar’s journey with that same book and visions.

He trusts Navani to write down the visions for him, and she’s the one who figures out that they’re real. It’s part of what makes them spend time with each other again and eventually get married. He asked her to teach him how to read.

Jasnah is of course the one who read the way of kings to him originally. And they are among the first people who he lets go into a vision with him.

I’m too tired to post an essay but my girl was just a victim of bad writing and a lack of critical thinking from the audience okay I love her.

When you leave comments like this:

here’s what I see:

“I don’t actually appreciate the work you put into writing this fic. I don’t think about the time, the care, the love, the effort it takes to write something this intensive. Just drop everything you’re doing to give me, specifically, more, more, more.”

There is no next part, commenter. This is part 6, the final installment of a multichapter fic I’ve been working on for 3 years, with many other fics that branch off of this concept. This is the hardest I’ve worked on any story in my entire 30-some years of writing. I love it with all my heart.

Now, I don’t actually believe you intend these comments to come off this way. You don’t mean to discourage me, or to leave a sour taste in my mouth, or to make me consider ending everything I’m currently working on and deleting this blog forever.

So, let me help you. In the future, when you comment on a writer’s work, try this instead:

“I loved this! I particularly liked (insert favorite part here). This made me feel (insert emotions here). Thank you so much for blessing my dash with this masterpiece. I would love to see more of these characters.”

This is so much more constructive. I’ve received comments like this before and, let me tell you, I got to work on that next chapter almost immediately (even if I hadn’t originally planned to write one).

On that note, thank you to the people who have stuck with me this long, who leave amazing comments, who reblog, who keysmash in the tags. You encourage me and make this all worth it ❤️

i think fandom spaces would become much more enjoyable across the board if people stopped flipping their pancakes over other fans enjoying characters that they don't like. or, god forbid, like them but in 'the wrong way.'
