Reading a fic that's so well written I wish I could close my eyes and just let the descriptions and atmosphere wash over me, but the dilemma with closing my eyes is, well, I then would not be able to continue reading this fic, now would I.

[bookshelf-in-progress]

There's always a danger of caring too much about a story, and then getting paralyzed by the need to do it justice, so it never gets written.

I've solved this problem in the past by writing stories so fast that I don't have time to get too invested, or writing stories that I'm not that attached to.

But maybe the trick is to love the story so much that I want to share it any way I can, even if it's imperfect. To feel that any version of this story is better than the story never getting written at all. To get out of my own way and stop worrying about what other people will think of my writing, or even what I think of my writing, and love the story for its own sake, love the readers enough to want to have the joy of sharing the story with them.

Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't. But so far it feels like a much better approach.

which ocs in the fandom do you find the most interesting? also, which ocs do you think have the most aesthetically pleasing designs? finally, which ocs have you only heard of but would like to know more about?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooo ha haaa noooo i can't possibly answer this because it would be soooo unfair to have favourites wouldn't it's comet knight by @kittenvirus

so anyway idk how i feel about the new new who stuff, i mostly enjoyed ten'n'donna back in 2008 but i must admit that the years since then have not been enhanced for me by people clinging to the rtd era and slagging off everything after it and i didn't even vibe that well with the rtd era generally so doing it AGAIN didn't really appeal even before it was the same cast as in his most successful season. and i think fandom's far too in love with multi-doctor stories and such in anniversary years but it does seem a bit weird that we're doing 2008 again and seemingly nothing else, and i am more interested in whatever gatwa is going to be doing but being as i am i'll probably end up seeing the new stuff and enjoying it on some level but even knowing that i am still just not feeling very enthused, u kno?

another childhood bucket list item obtained: i finally have a snuggie

[gardenianoire]

anyways I was so happy to get my blood work back and everything being negative and my doctor telling me my weight loss was mostly due to truvada and I had almost a full 24 hours of thinking I avoided my family's curse of just up and fucking dying in your 30s with little to no warning and my pap results came back and it's beginning to look a lot like cervical cancer

How's this for a new tag game:

Imagine that you, like a Jane Austen character, are getting five thousand a year – only, it's not money, it's something else, and you get to pick what it is.

You can't have money or anything that's used like money (such as gift cards or loyalty points.) Whatever it is, it's all coming to you within one year, and you'll have to take all five thousand of it.

What are you picking? Put your thing in the tags.

First drawing of the year

of course my first drawing of the year would be of Havve. Don't expect anything else from me.

at work i'm part of the service team for a polling platform where you create multiple choice questions and stuff like that, which means i do a lot of testing and documentation and stuff for it, pretty standard.

they've recently introduced a new ~AI quiz wizard~ feature which lets you just tell them a topic or send them a link and they'll use AI to generate quiz questions for you, so i've been using this as an excuse to make quizzes on the most obscure topics i'm personally knowledgeable in

sadly my tumblr fame is not enough to have it write anything coherent for me, but it did somehow come up with this?

What’re your favorite kh ships?

If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.

That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:

SoKai

RokuShi

Namiku

RokuNami

Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)

Gulava

Skulmera

Playerlitzia

YozoraNameless Star

Xehaqus

AkuSai

SoRiKai

RiKai

Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)

I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.

I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.

SoNami in CoM only.

I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.

VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)

A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.

And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.

I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.

Xena (she/her)

PLEASE ask me for the extra simping heroforge thing of her

Shit stirrer. Idiot gremlin. Resident little guy, the little birthday boy (she 6’0, 65% muscle, and a woman who only has one birthday a year like most of the rest of us)

She keeps picking a fight with people and then backing out when they get mad like ‘heyyy. Heyyyyy. Im just a little guyyyyy! You wouldn’t hurt a little guy!!’ but she’s not a little guy so it doesn’t work and someone has to bail her out. She doesn’t like fighting. She just likes to fuck with people. 

Every time they’re supposed to be training and learning to fight, and how to deal with the Maelstrom, Xena whines about it. She doesn’t want to fight the stupid cloud of nasty emotion magic, she wants to play video games with the others!! She gets less whiny as she gets older, but her feelings on it hasn’t changed at all; she’s just stopped being so loud about it.

She has a very similar giant sword to Cross, but she also picked up the crossbow. As good as she is with the sword, she usually prefers to be at a distance to take out her targets. Less risk of injury, usually. 

She may look confident, but she doesn’t really deal with any kind of conflict well.

Other stuff:

Her alignment is Chaotic Neutral

i don't have much else that's coherent sorry. i have a FEW things but it'll have to go with Java's ref 😔

I found this Twitter thread discussing Reimu and Autistic traits quite interesting. As someone both with Autism and in the process of getting my master's degree in clinical psych, I both found it relatable and think the OP made a lot of good points in their analysis (though I will note that you can't really diagnosis a fictional character but it's all for fun). So I thought I'd share it.
