Clan Toreador headcanon: their bodies are just as cursed as Nosferatu, except instead of twisting into a sordid monster, they change against their will into beauty as their Sire sees it.
A perfectly regular looking person slowly finds their pores minimising and seemingly vanishing, their face bones realigning, disturbing symmetry intruding into a face they once knew, and every night they become more and more a picture of what someone else wants, and less themselves.
Beauty as a weapon, but also beauty as a purely subjective horror. You are not yourself, and you never will be again. You’re an object, a treasure, a prize for someone else, always someone else, and never living for yourself again, because someone else wanted to make you beautiful.
#vtm#vampire the masquerade#the beautiful and the monstrous are two sides of the same coin when you think about it#this is cause you cannot tell me that every single person ever embraced into Clan Toreador is Ultra Hot Smoking Babealicious okay it is just#not possible#and yet#they remain beautiful#in a dangerous and detached way

It is so fucking astounding abt how ungrateful SxF twt is lmfao.
I unfortunately haven't caught up in the recent chapters of SxF but I do know bits and pieces abt the current HenryxMartha arc (seriously wtf that arc is going to ruin me)
The fact that they keep asking and even having the audacity to say how boring the arc is, is so 🤡🤡. Like that is fucking embarassing. Endo's uploading the chapters weekly, for free, online. And y'all have the audacity to say shit abt that? Damn okay
#spy x family#istg twt is another breed all together#i wish to detach myself but frankly there's quite a lot of japanese writers and artists that i follow there#i can NOT miss a single content of theirs#edited: apparently it's not weekly. but bi-weekly. but eh my point still stands

my hot take as a person with an english degree and a library degree is that some of the dorkiest fiction and poetry ever committed to paper in the english language came out of the iowa writer's workshop so it is at best goofy and at worst completely futile to argue that your average amazon unlimited writer is having a more deleterious effect on literacy and literature.
#like i know these guys and they are NOT better than booktokers bc they have an mfa in fiction or poetry#in fact. (further hot take) i'd argue many of them are orders of magnitude worse bc they take themselves and their ✨ craft ✨ so seriously#that their work is completely devoid of any authentic human emotion and is merely detached irony trying to mask as social commentary#but the booktok girlies know what they're doing. they're aware! and they're having a great time doing it! they're having fun!#and i have read unfortunately MANY works by mfas that are just like. where is the joy in this? the fear? the sorrow? the honesty???#like yeah booktok is not my thing and it can be pretty silly but most of them aware of the genre they're in and they're having a blast#i've read poetry and fiction by mfas that are grasping so hard to make a Point that they just completely lack genuine and honest emotion#and you can tell the writer just like. did not feel anything urgent or vital about the work they were creating#anyway. follow for more hot takes on the literary establishment#books books books#saying all that i know there is a whole ecosystem of amazon unlimited and booktok writers who are in it strictly for the money#and maybe feel nothing about what they're writing. but they ARE aware of the genre they're in#and to really make it work in amazon unlimited you DO have to have your finger on the pulse of craft wrt genre fiction#whereas i one time in college hateread all of a quote unquote literary writer's works and it was just like#oh you have NO idea that you're just writing complete nonsense#you think you're making a point and have social commentary and every single book is just. incredibly silly#and you would have had a much better and more interesting time if you allowed yourself to write romance novels instead!!

oihguiuhj omg. bee going back to the comet is givng me like last unicorn vibes like idk. like she used to be a immortal otherworldly being that was then forced to experience life and the bad and good things that come with it. but now she's back at her home with her sister mother thing but since she's gone through the experience of being with guto and hunter and stuff she could never be the way she was before she was taken from her home. would she even feel like she fits in with the rest of the comet anymore. she already didnt feel like she belonged on whatever planet fusionsprunt takes place in but what if now she feels like she belongs nowhere??? sorry for rambling, my brain is infected with bees.
.
#exactly!!!!!!!!!! god this sums it up perfectly#being human and living as one is an incredible and often painful experience which inevitably shapes an individual‚#but she's not human‚ or robot‚ nor anything anyone can comprehend‚ and that makes her feel so detached and frustrated.#These things don't matter as much when you're loved unconditionally by the people around you.#HOME is just a word she learned‚ a human concept she was taught as a robot. It has nothing to do with whatever she had as a comet.#Because her existence was an elliptical line‚ a single orbit she followed endlessly. There was no pain‚ no love‚ no despair.#And in the end‚ she becomes a fossil of what she used to be‚ like a mindless statue of her robot self.#It's still unclear if she feels anything in that state...#inbox#fusionsprunt b2#fusionsprunt beatrix#fusionsprunt

i've noticed that obviously since it's been a few years since the phandom's heyday that now people are starting to make like...retrospectives and "deep dives" and icebergs and shit about the phandom and the behaviours prevalent at the time and how phandom was like a textbook example of the worst of what we now know to be parasocial relationships. i've watched these videos and i?? find myself getting irritated and annoyed?? like these videos claim they're doing a deep dive and then don't talk about the good shit aside from like idk 2 sentences being like "as an ex phandom member i had some good times in the phandom but damn! people were a bit crazy sometimes!" like?? look ok i was like 11 years old when i started watching dan and phil. they were my first experience with internet fan culture. these men literally raised me and my sense of humour and so many little aspects of my personality are things that i imitated from them when i was like 12 and trying to become someone i felt was worth being. none of these people have really talked about just how fucking lonely and isolated the phandom was in their real lives but these two emo fringed dorks managed to create community for dorky, slightly emo young people like themselves. it just feels like the people trying to discuss the phandom don't really understand the oddly profound connection that so much of their audience had with them.
#the rat speaks#dan and phil#phandom#im fully aware that im still sooo parasocial with them (like every single other dan and phil fan on this website) but genuinely!!!#there just feels like this weird detachment from the people making these videos and the actions they're talking about#and not in a way that feels like an old fan trying to be objective#but more like an outside observer who just wants to point at WeiRdO iNtErNeT MoMEnTs

Whoops I made a robot boyfriend for myself 🫠
#robot dreams#dutiful detached and stoic on the outside but shy and bashful on the inside#working idea is that hes from a model of bots popular w families as companions/safety buddies for kids#so hes like programed to be very watchful and attentive and protective but ges also kind of aloof#More like a buddy system bot then a beat-badguys-up bot but his demeanor and presence is a little intimidating#anyway thats relevant because my persona would be a single 20 soemthing enby female in the big city and thats PRETTY SCARY KINDA DANGEROUS

The turn Lavos gets trolled in the 2019 Smogon classic tournament recreated with the text from the resulting forum post
#competitive pokemon#smogon#“Unfortunate��� doesn't begin to describe my series#this game rewards blind luck and nothing else#I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and re#losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior#my play was superior#and I lost#so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.#I am done with competitive Pokemon#and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but st#this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by#and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away#that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance.#but World Cup is still ongoing#and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry#so I'll suffer through a few more games for them.#One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain#ridicule#and self-righteous fervor#before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts#box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory#and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on#nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet#and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive#while I carry on#brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

Who are they mourning now? Had some enemy slain the King in the North, who used to be his brother Robb?
George Raymond Richard Martin what in the deeply sad and compelling fuck-
#the way this man juggles identities is slowly driving me mad#first it was all the different names for ned now this....#THE KING WHO USED TO BE HIS BROTHER. GOD. the sheer extent of detachment & leftover love contained in that one single sentence#asoiaf#house stark

Yangchen and Aang: *trying to hold onto what Air Nation qualities they have while still performing their duties* Disha, to Roku: You are a spirit of NO Nation. Me: ??????
#Dishaaaaaaaaa#dishaaaa what do you mean DISHAAAAAA#me: *trying to rip apart her psychology with like the 3 lines I have from her*#i know it's a set up for Ta Min to be like “no you're a spirit of ALL Nations! :D” but stilllll I'm stuck on Disha rn#is she trying to get him detached from all the nations? not just fire? is this a detachment lesson?#but the avatar can never fully detach.....#silly talks#it's just interesting how RoR they are trying REALLY HARD to strip away his Fire National heritage#and how Yangchen/Aang struggle to keep hold of theirs#and how Korra's during S2 takes sides#(is it suppose to be a parallel to kyoshi?)#(kyoshi tries to distance herself from her own nation on her OWN not bc someone tells her to)#(kyoshi's also special cause she had a duality going on but that's a different topic)#reckoning of roku#roku#hmmmmmmnmmm#i have to re-read RoR maybe there's something I missed but I DON'T WANT TO RE-READ ROR IT SUUUUUCKS TT0TT#funny how disha says this and then gets the damn Air Nation involved to fuck Kyoshi over#It's weird they single Roku/FN out... is it because its the Fire Nation?#and is it bc of what the FN is GOING to do? Or is it bc of Szeto?#Cause I think it's foreshadowing for the former and....I don't like it#It's not good foreshadowing. It's foreshadowing that doesn't make sense#it feels like “oh you better distance yourself from ur country now buddy! cause they're abt to do something bad!” kind of foreshadowing#instead of like “that pebble lek picked up and is the same one that Kyoshi will use to kill Jianzhu”#Like the former feels PANDERING to ATLA rather than it making sense in the story#roku salt#(i'm working on the asks I swear~!)#this just popped into my head and I-RAAHHHBAHBJFJKLDSAJF TT0TT

I have a. Weird hobby. I buy old magazines on EBay. Mostly to read about bands I like whose articles and interviews haven’t been well archived on the internet. An unintended side effect is getting a glimpse of subconscious cultural narratives from 20, 30, 40 yrs ago.
You can tell so much about the state of a society and how they view people like me, from the most random innocuous magazine articles. Their callous disregard for queer people, the mischaracterization and mythologizing of woman, the blasé absence of POC artists and creatives.
It should be disheartening but it isn’t. Society was sick. And in a few short decades we’ve managed to flip the script almost entirely. The society that wrote these words is almost unrecognizable to me now. We’ve come so so far, from such a dark place. And we’ll do it again. And again if we have to. We’ll come back from this dark place too, not through the natural forces of entropy, but by biting and clawing and fighting anyone who dares treat us as less than
#genuinely like. there was a news section where there was 2 sentences written on how an anti gay discrimination ordinance failed to pass#and then they just moved on without comment or concern to the next thing#like it just. didn’t really matter all that much#say what you will but we are far too visible for anything like that to be spoken about with such detached neutrality#there was another article that just CASUALLY mentioned only 50% of women reported orgasming during sex#and it was entirely laughed off#as just an inscrutable ‘woman’ thing - moving on no further examination#and genuinely just#every single musician they find noteworthy enough to talk about#is a (presumed) straight white dude#say what you will#we do not talk about these things like this anymore#not without serious pushback and public scrutiny#our voices are too loud to be ignored and dismissed like this anymore

me waiting for my writer’s block to fuck off and leave me alone so i can finish this chapter:
#my creativity is just so dead rn and it makes me want to crawl out of my own skin#i’ve been waiting MONTHS to finally have a little bit of free time to breathe and catch up on writing stuff#and naturally now that i have i am so mentally and emotionally drained i can barely string a sentence together#i feel so distant and detached from my characters#and yes i know it’ll pass#but i just feel so caught in this headspace rn and needed to vent#i’m SO close to finishing this chapter for good but i have well and truly fallen at the final hurdle#the perfectionism has got me#ugh#also if anyone reading this is worried about four walls being updated#please don’t#i literally circle through this headspace every single chapter#and it hasn’t stopped me yet#(and it never will either. i couldn’t give up on this fic if i tried)#but it’s just hitting me particularly hard this last week#why is writing such an agonising process sometimes#anyway#enough rambling from me for one night#i’ll drag myself back to my laptop and see if i can work some magic#wish me luck#writing stuff#lulu posts

#asoiaf shitposting#i also think Jon would live for arguing on the internet but he would argue with every single one of these people#bran would also be facts over feelings guy but in a weird philosophical way#just a little freak who thinks people should do things without emotions bc he’s so detached

ppl hate that dark always has a pathetic side they dont want to see it they think its ooc they hate that daisuke in all his insecurities, in all his clumsiness and plainness, is, yes, in fact, absolute, 100% him, they refuse to reconcile the truth with the performance they only ever want the facade the charm they don't actually care about dark's feelings and this is why i'll fight to the death for my pathetic dark rights
