#sorry for explaining I hate and I love I feel like ive seen too many misinterpretations of quincent so I need to claw and tear a bit

[elliotly]

Alright, now I’m curious, what do you think is appropriate use of the dies irae? Like when should it be used and how sparingly?

I think the best uses of it ive seen are ones where I don’t fully notice it at first because it blends seamlessly. I think it’s just frequently used to cheaply draw the audience’s ear to something bc it’s familiar sounding and reminds them of spooky things or whatever. The most extreme example of this is Frozen 2.

1) I feel like the piece tonally has to fit (some pieces Rely on it to create a sense of doom & death but I think the rest of the song should also be doing work to create that ambience if that’s what you’re going for.) I guess the exception is if you’re using it to be funny/campy. Which is not rly my interest or area of expertise so idc really

2) My personal thing against it is it just often feels unwarranted. Like I think you need a healthy dose of composer hubris to be like Yes 👍 I want to be among the ranks of people who have musically quoted the Dies Irae. Which I don’t think I’ll ever have in my lifetime but to each his own ig

3) This might seem obvious but I think it has to make sense in the context. E.g., I Hate and I Love is about wanting to fall wholly in love but not wanting to let go of society’s approval (i.e., Quincy values his academic ambition and stuff bc all their life they’ve been told that’s Good To Have even if pursuing it makes them less mentally healthy. Quincy is scared that falling in love with Vincent will make them A Less Valuable Member of Society because they’ll be happy/able to relax instead of overworking themself all the time. Thus he thinks he “hates” Vincent for taking away their previous “identity” — one built around toxic ideas about self-worth — when actually letting themself be wholly in love with Vincent is much better for them.) I guess you could tie it to the Last Judgment stuff (but wouldn’t Litany be more appropriate?) but it doesn’t seem related enough to death/funeral rites imo (and if it’s about a metaphorical death of something, it would be making subtext too textual because, again, it’s v recognizable and on the nose.) BUT again, to each his own 🙂‍↕️

charlesleclerc recently it has come to my notice that some of the fans have been sending hate to yn and making hurtful comments.

yn is one of the most beautiful people in my life, and I am extremely lucky to have her. she deserves the entire world and it hurts not only her, but me too when I see the messages that she has been receiving.

she is absolutely perfect for me and I love her with all my heart. we have mutually chosen to keep our relationship private, and ask that you respect that. if you were one of the people who sent the hate, know that supporting me means supporting the people I love as well.

@.yourusername je t'aime toujours

You woke up to the constant sound of notifications coming from your phone. Rubbing your bleary eyes, you try and lean back in an attempt to reach the side table, stopped only by the tightening of the arms around your waist.

"Go back to sleep". Charles's voice is muffled, only part of his face visible with the rest smushed against the pillow. "Its too early."

Smiling softly, you lift his arm from your body. He groans, eyes opening to look up at you.

"Theres a lot of notifications amour", you explain. "I need to check what it is."

Rolling his eyes in defeat, he lets go of you, letting you pick up your phone and open twitter to see why so many people were talking about you.

Eyebrows furrowing in confusion, you see many people mentioning a post that Charles had supposedly posted last night. Looking over to him, you ask.

"Did you post something on Instagram yesterday?"

"Huh? Oh yeah." He doesn't bother elaborating, choosing to instead let his head fall back on the pillow, closing his eyes to block out the light.

Chuckling at his reaction, you switch to the Instagram app. Immediately met with 4 different pictures of yourself, you scroll down and read Charles's caption. Sighing when you realise he too had seen the tweets, you put your phone away, lying back down to face him.

"You didn't have to post that amour."

"I wanted to. They were being mean to you." he replies without a second of hesitation. "Je t'aime, d'accord? They have it all wrong, it is me who doesn't deserve you."

Nodding, you reply. "Thank you."

You snuggle closer to him, tucking your head underneath his own. You feel him press a small kiss to your forehead before once again pulling you in, his grip keeping you from moving.

Softly, you whisper. "Je t'aime toujours aussi."

Ive seen a lot of people confuse me leaving for “people being mean to writers” or getting hate for the things i write of how i write them but its not

But Im not leaving just bc of the audience, i can handle some hate and honestly it was kinda fun from them bc ik that hate comes from jealousy and trolling

Im leaving because of other writers and my “friends”

Ik i said i would get into it and i really dont want to all that much bcuz im tired and just wanna be done with this but it feels wrong to leave under a false assumption and let people think their actions dont have consequences

Ive dealt with a lot from my peers on here, back talking, hating, straight up bullying, and i just cant anymore

I cant deal with drama irl AND on the internet, bcuz at the end of the day i can just delete everything on here and be done with it all so thats wat im gonna do

Tbh this has been building up for a while, i can only handle so much from “friends” and irl i cut people off pretty quick and on here should be no exception but ive fucked up and let people do watever too long and its bitten me in the ass

Yes ik im dramatic lol, ive gotten that a lot and a lot of people hate me for, a lot of people love me for it, its how i am and it keeps things interesting. I get it, i like to make a lot of call out posts. Y? Bc people deserve to be called out and idgaf ab appearances on here. If someone did something bad, im gonna call them out bc last i checked its my blog and i can do wat i want. If u wouldnt do it, thats fine, its ur decision, and this is mine

Yes, i dont post a lot, I. Am. Busy. I have work. I have school. I have a social life. I cant write smut all the time even tho i want to, and at the end of the day, its not my job to write smut all day so people can read it and move on. I like to interact with yall, its fun, i like to talk to a lot of different people on her since my irl friends arent really into anime. Apparently people think im a loser for that? Ok? Sorry i like to talk to people on the internet when im bored instead of producing smut all day for people to read, ig i shouldve remembered im only on here to provide content since i dont deserve to have some fun, my mistake

Requests? Requests r a generosity. So many of my requesters have been absolute angels with being patient in receiving their requests, happy to just see me writing or interacting at all. Others have hounded me regularly telling me im lazy and selfish for not completing my requests, saying im an asshole for not completing them over my own projects bc “they asked first”. LMAO, U WRITE IT THEN???? i dont owe anything to anyone, certainly not someone who comes here solely to read my fics, not even leaving any interaction or encouragement whatsoever, then leave.

The icing on the cake? The tip of the iceburg? Discord of all places. Im sorry some of u didnt enjoy my server, i really am. Ive never used discord before and me and the mods did the best we could and im sorry i couldnt be as attentive to it due to my busy schedule

Im sorry i couldnt get there in time to stop conflicts or just straight up call people out, and im sorry someone had to make another server since they didnt like how i was handling mine bc i didnt take their side in a fight that THEY WERE WRONG IN? But i tried to be nice, tried to defend her and nicely explain y she was she cant say anything they want in any situation bc people get hurt. but it didnt matter. Y? Bc apparently i cant tell people what they can and cant say…

And that made me realize something! Theyre right! Theyre absolutely right and im so stupid for not seeing it until now! I cant stop people from saying things to me. I cant stop people from talking shit ab me. I cant stop people from even saying things on my own blog and server! I just cant. Bcuz in the end, people r gonna say what they want and do what they want bc people dont wanna learn. They dont wanna talk. They dont wanna hear ab how what they do or say affects others. They just wanna do what the want when the want, and they wanna be allowed to, bc fuck everybody else. Everybody is the victim in their own story, and i deserve to be the victim in mine.

And what would a victim do in this situation?

Leave.

[neoarchipelago]

tw for rape and sorta mentions of suicide (just basically saying kys in context ) for those very sensitive or triggered by these!!

but like i went through all the posts i could find and they never said anything bad about non con or dubcon she said rape fics were bad- and the point of her being a “hypocrite” for writing dubcon confuses me as why would someone who didnt support that stuff write it? it doesn’t make sense to me. i understand not liking her point on the kys bit but you guys got really hung up on it and completely missed the point of it about literal rape being romanticized and used as a fetish, not noncon and the likes used as a coping mechanism. it breaks my heart to see especially from people i supported and enjoyed a lot and got me into this community supporting rape. ive dealt with lots of sexual assults and have been raped myself a few times starting from a young age and let me tell you, its horrible. me and my boyfriend do get quite rough at times and do indulge in things like noncon- something that is used to cope and can help- and it is so much different than actually being raped. if you like it rough and dirty trust me girl i completely get it but actually being raped is the most demeaning, violating, and live devastating things that can happen- not to mention the other physical side affects of it. not trying to spread hate, maybe i should be for supporting it, but im more just sad? like seeing a community im so into and my biggest comfort character ( who also has dealt with rape) supporting and defending it all just feels like a betrayal and so debilitating. so many of my safe spaces have been ruined in a physical and metaphysical sense and it just reminds me of the sa when i was a teenager and other boys on my team (i was raped and abused by multiple wrestlers as i was the only girl in the sport in a very large state wide tournament hosted by my school) joking about it and making it not serious not taking me serious and sexualizing the whole situation and thinking i was lucky for a chick. just sickening and heartbreaking to see and the worst throwback thursday ever.

Hi love. First of all, I'm truly sorry of what happened to you. No one should ever have to go through that and you are truly amazingly strong.

Thank you for sharing your point through respect and calm.

I'd like to throw you back to this essay that explains my point of view here. Of course, it's understandable if you don't accept it. I'm not here to convince anyone on this. This is sharing a point of view.

Here, hoping that you fully understand.

This will however be the last time I'll debate on this subject, further comment or anons will simply get a copy paste.

THIS CONTAINS SA , SH AND SEXUAL CONTENT, BE CAREFUL

I- dub-con, non-con and CNC kink in fiction.

A- the place of these themes in fiction and how it separated from reality.

I think the line has to be drawn. A line people seem to forget too easily. Obviously, rape is a horrible thing. This fact has never been refuted in any fics or novels or books. No writer will ever tell you, ‘rape is awesome and soooo romantic’.

Fiction is absolutely fiction. We are aware of it. There's a big difference. This obviously something readers choose to read being aware of fiction. Being aware that the real thing is horrible. Warnings and tags are always there to avoid readers unaware of it.

B- the differences with other themes

One thing I've been asked is what kind of difference writing rape is from writing dub-con or even pedophilia?

On dub-con, the line is blurred. Softer, protagonist may be in a path where the sexual action is wanted but blocked by the mind or pushed to it by the other protagonist, forcing their own need to give in. It is still seen as rape as consent is not fully given. There's not much difference from non-con. Writers usually use this tag to avoid any triggers to people.

For pedophilia, let's see this in a more details. I think we can all agree that all these themes, dub-con, CNC, non con, always involve adults. Whatever it is the kink, or in stories, it’s adults. Adults who are aware of what sex is and what this kink it. Children should never be near any of those themes. It's not about kinks anymore, children don't have kinks.

II- the reality of voicing your opinion on internet

A- SA victims and SH victims, sexual shame

Now there's something we need to talk about. Writing theses themes are used by many as a coming mechanism. SA victims may often use these writings to help the aftermath of these events in their own life.

In the kink itself it's something that obviously causes a lot of shame towards people who are not part of it. But many things need to be said. It's a need for a control of a situation that is dangerous and traumatizing. It's a sign of truth with your partner. Fiction is a way to live that fantasy in full safety as they are clearly aware of the truth of that situation in real life.

Now the thing that has started this whole conversation was the ‘don’t forget to tell rape kink writers to off themselves’.

It is not a small detail. Not at all!

This is where fiction is separated from reality. You are telling a real person to commit a real act that could lead to fatal consequences.

Obviously I think we’re all aware that many people on this website suffer from depression, self harm tendencies and bullying. I do too. Your words matter. Trust me. We’ve seen it with Inquisitor’s death while a live TikTok.

Many other tiktokers who had helped not only spread rumors but bully the creator only realized their mistake once he killed himself.

This is a no turn back situation.

Do you think you have the guts to wake up in the morning, knowing someone killed themselves because they wrote something you were against? That you are the reason they died? Their families are grieving?

You can find an article on the CNC kink here:

-https://www.choosingtherapy.com/consensual-non-consent/

B- respect even through anger

We have established one thing. The internet is a wild, free universe. Anyone can say or write or post whatever they want.

You are free to voice out your opinion, anger amongst these binary and servers. But one thing that is not ok is the way you say it.

A point doesn't need to be full of hate or threats to be said. Especially when serious consequences could be blown by it.

Everyone has their opinion, things they don't like. You are free to avoid tags, not read, block people. Protect yourself first. But attacking isn't protecting yourself. You’re simply causing another kind of harm.

People need to own up to their words and actions.

If you tell someone to kill themselves, it's horrible. It's an actual crime. A full crime.

hi! this is my first time sending in an ask, i don't really know much about tumblr etiquette so i'm really sorry if i do this wrong. i've recently read a lot of your work, in particular all your chubby reader series and honestly i can't keep quiet about it. i'm not sure if you write from experience when it comes to a chubby reader, but the fics of yours i read really reflected some of the more subtle and less talked about experiences of growing up fat that i never really see, these little details that really hit close to home that i had never been able to bring myself to properly acknowledge out of shame for my own body and the experiences i had growing up this way. there were so many little things you wrote in that made me stop and put a hand over my mouth because it felt like the words were turning into a mirror. seeing the same exact what-ifs, and body issues, and intimacy issues that often keep me up at night being represented in your writing makes me feel something very difficult to explain, but the simplest way i can describe it is gratitude. i had never really brought myself to care too much about this kind of representation because when it happens, people usually get it wrong. a lot of fat characters are commonly written with a glaring flaw where their whole personalities revolve around their fatness, like they are not granted the same complexities other kinds of characters are. i guess i'm just saying that you really got it right with your writing and for the first time i felt seen in my body in a comfortable way. it takes both a lot of talent and a lot of love to be able to cause such deep heartfelt reactions from a story and i wish i could better express just how much what you've written resonates with me. <3 anyway i am so sorry for yapping and i'm sorry if it's impolite or ill mannered to write so much in an ask but i really wanted to send something in because i really love your writing! :3

hey there anon. this was kind of super beautiful gorgeous lovely perfect sexy, and i kind of love you for it. i really really appreciate this ask a lot, because i do write from experience but i can never really tell if it's just mine or the experience of others as well. it means a lot to hear you say i do it right, bc ive also seen it done wrong before in other fandoms and i would have hated to add to it in a way that disappoints. my point at the end of all of this is that suna rintarou is a chubby chaser and that is my self-indulgent work so i hope you enjoy/enjoyed it LMAOOOO <3333

https://www.tumblr.com/mrs-monaghan/716751095560552448/i-love-jikook-so-much-ive-been-supporting-them?source=share

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or make you hate me. I didn't mean about what taekookers say, because I don't believe in taekook. Never have, never will, for me, the image of them together is just ridiculous, its not even imaginable...

What I meant was other jikook blogs also doubting them for the lack of public outings. I've seen a couple of posts on the jikook tag, posted by jikook blogs, and what they deem as the "change" in their dynamics from 2019 to 2023.

I really do believe in Jikook, I guess depression just gets the best of me sometimes and I start to think negatively about everything, I guess that's when taekookers start to get under my skin and I guess that's when jikookers who out of nowhere turn against them start to get in my head, too. Again, I really didn't mean for you to hate me, I just felt like it's been hard to deal with not seeing them so much and not getting much content about them.

But I do believe they're hanging out a lot in private before they have to leave for MS. Jungkook has been especially quiet these past couple of days.

Oh anon, now I feel like a dick.

I did not mean to make u feel like I hate you. From the bottom of my heart I apologise for making you feel this way 🙏🏽 But let me explain myself. I hate insecure Jikookers with a passion. I hate them even more than tkkrs if you can believe that.

Jikook have done everything to show us their love for each other. And I am sure they would love our support. Imagine how nice it would be and how happy Jikook would be if the fandom actually accepted them. If Armys didn't fight them so hard. Imagine the frustration JK felt after Rosebowl when the next day he saw nothing had changed. Imagine how they felt after they did this

And haters wrote to BH asking them to make Jikook stop. Accusing them of being too gay. I can see that being why they got even louder because "fuck this people" especially JK.

They already have so many haters the least we can do is support them. The least we can do is not doubt them simply because we can't see them. Having these expectations from Jikook when we don't even have them on ourselves is ridiculous. They need us to trust them. Especially since everytime content drops they are more than fine, they are happy and still the same Jikook that we have always known.

So yes, I get annoyed when I see people who doubt them even though Jikook haven't given us reason to. If you wanna doubt Jikook, do it during moments like these where they were clearly fighting

Tweet

Jimin's face there gets me everytime 😂 Baby is so confused. JK tell your man what he did dammit!

This too

Anyway, u get my point. Insecure Jkkrs just irritate me sfm and I took that out on you so I'm sorry. Hope u can forgive me

That being said anon, no content doesn't mean no more Jikook. So u need to adjust that mentality. If u miss them just watch some good Jikook content. Remind yourself why you're a Jkkr to begin with. It will make u less susceptible.

Anyway, insecure Jkkrs suck ass. They especially have no business using the Jikook tag and making other people doubt Jikook too. Keep that shit to yourself 🙄😒

[calkale]

Okay dead reckoning spoilers ahead ill put a cut just in case also if you like the movie maybe don’t read either 👀😬 but if you do please read the whole thing or at least the last paragraph because that in my opinion is the most important thing i have to say

Before i say anything i know im in the wrong here, i have a really personal issue with the movie that i dont feel comfortable sharing but its one of the names used A LOT in the movie, so that definitely plays a part in my opinion whether i like it or not. That being said, usually i can ignore stuff like that, ive done it with other movies but there was nothing else to grasp my attention so i got stuck on things like that.

Also wanna say this first because i feel like it explains why i hate a lot of the things i do. I could really be reaching here but i think they’re trying to set up hayley as the new face of these movies and dead reckoning part 2 is gonna be the end for tom. She was the main character, Ethan was not. She was a part of 2 stunts out of the 3 big ones in the movie and Toms solo stunt (the cliff jump) was maybe a minute of the movie and correct me if im wrong but thats never happened before, Toms always had a big stunt thats just him that takes up a good, MEMORABLE, chunk of the movie, and that just wasnt in this.

I didn’t like it at all. Up until the airport i loved the movie, i really liked the way it was shot, i liked the mi1 callbacks, i really liked ethan and ilsa and everything was good, i could ignore the AI plot (which i knew i wasnt gonna like going into it i hate AI villains) and just watch the movie but after the airport i started to not like the movie anymore. During the fiat car chase i realized i was gonna really not gonna like the movie. That was one of the three big stunts of the movie and i hated it, it just felt really rushed and there were so many characters who i didnt know and didnt know why they were there, WHICH IS OKAY i love not knowing things thats part of my brand im all about that but it just did not work here, sometimes not knowing anything about character works and other times it doesnt.

I dont remember a lot from the middle chunk of the movie, i wasnt enjoying it but trust me i was trying. Not even benji and luther made the movie enjoyable and to top it all off ilsa died and im getting mad again but that was one of the worst deaths i think ive seen. If shes not actually dead then thank god but also im sorry mcq but awful writing unless something got cut because she was free? She was dead? There was no bounty on her head anymore, that was why she “died” at the start of the movie and correct me if im wrong but she really didnt need to be in Venice with her face showing either. It really feels like she just died so hayley could be in the spotlight with ethan and there were too many characters so they had to get rid of her along with benji and luther who arent dead but may as well be with their 10 minutes of screen time.

But all of this i can look past, i dont like the plot? whatever, thats not why i, personally, watch mission impossible movies, i watch for the stunts, i wanna see tom cruise do some crazy shit but i didnt even get that. Im really mad about the lack of stunts in this movie i feel insane idk if anyone else is complaining about this but i didnt like a single one of them. Im so let down and i hate that im so upset over something like this but i am. Thats the promise thats being made when you go see these movies and in my opinion they didn’t deliver. All the fighting was really good i loved the fight in that tight alleyway with ethan and paris but i hated the car chase, the cliff jump could’ve been better? i dont even know what to say about that one tbh, and the train, ohhhhhh the train, i dont even wanna talk about the train, i was trying so hard to like it i wanted it to redeem the whole movie for me but it just didnt, i feel so bad but it didnt and im so disappointed.

october media recap ✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮

i love music, movies, tv, podcasts, games, books, and more. here's a recap of things i watched in october 2023!!

music ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚

i've been really into more indie blues type music as autumn comes to a head, my playlist autumn girls this is for you has a bit more songs that i really associate with this season. anyway heres the list!

mitski - my love mine all mine

mitski - i'm your man

these two songs are phenomenal, as is mitski's album "the land is inhospitable and so are we" i actually wrote a brief analysis on my love mine all mine as a love song and breakup song. the feeling it invokes in me is second to none, what a beautiful song.

olivia rodrigo - lacy

sixpence none the richer - kiss me

jane remover - search party

searows - used to be friends

phoebe briders - moon song

iron & wine - flightless bird, american mouth

mazzy star - fade into you

sting - shape of my heart

yeule - software update

yeule - sulky baby

taylor swift - "slut!"

rachel chinouriri - maybe i'm lonely

emile mosseri - jacob and the stone

i actually listen to this song to fall asleep, but i can assure you that i also cry every time i watch those videos on the internet with this song playing in the background. it perfectly encapsulates a feeling of hope and loss. beautifully done. minari was a phenomenal as a (real) movie lover, i love when movies have tracks like this that so clearly stand out from the soundtrack and score.

movies 🎞️✮⋆˙

i haven't watched as many movies as i'd have liked in october, it has been an emotional month to say the least. but, now im on anti-depressants so our regularly scheduled slaying is back. movies will be rated a 1-5 star based on how much i enjoyed it! and NO NOT EVERY MOVIE IS FROM THIS YEAR OR EVEN THIS DECADE <3

talk to me (2022) ★★★★

pearl (2022) ★★★★

the invisible man (2020) ★★★★

child's play (1988) ★★★★

doctor sleep (2019) (fucking insanely good) ★★★★★

bodies bodies bodies (2022) (so camp??) ★★★

call me by your name (2017) ★★★★

silence of the lambs (1991) (this is a perfectly made film. argue with the wall!) ★★★★★

and thats about it, i genuinely have been too busy with school to watch as many films, still have not seen barbie or the fnaf movie because im so busy and too broke to go to the movies constantly LOL. however, i will say what my favorite youtube video topics are currently in my honorable mentions section!!

honorable mentions ˙˖°📷 ༘ ⋆｡˚

my current fave youtubers or streamers :3

dead meat (james and chelsea constantly demonstrate a genuine love for horror and have recently been branching out to video games amidst the SAG strike! love them and their work so much, they have definitely made me into more of a horror movie buff)

wendigoon (i will listen to this man talk about anything, but he constantly raises the bar with how informed he is on topics. he just likes to talk abt weird shit and thats really neat idk)

supertf (ive been watching this guy for over 5 years he is still the funniest ow streamer out there sorry)

kyedae (she is rlly funny and even though valorant is boring to watch i watch her play mostly, however i LOVE when she does variety or horror its so funny how scared she gets)

jacksepticeye (watching him play spiderman 2 bc i don't own a ps5, BUT ALSO sean just has the best playthroughs of games like this. love his takes on the game!!)

mike's mic (olivia wilde nodding gif like if you get it you get it!)

games im playing right now :3

the sims 4 (do i need to explain this rlly... i have 2000 hours on sims... currently building a tiny town for the new expansion pack :3 pics here)

sun haven (started playing with my bf, feels like stardew valley with a bigger world and more things to do! i HATE the fishing mechanic. it is not for me babes)

valorant (playing occasionally as i am not very good, but i have alot of skins so yipee)

overwatch (i have 1600 hours in the game unfortunately. addiction is real guys)

fall guys (just recently started playing with my friends again, idk why anyone wouldnt want to play this its free and fun. theres a hatsune miku skin in the game like CMON)

genshin impact (im actually really invested in fontaine's story, if i had multiple hours a day to game i would do all the story quests and things but again, im so b u s y. still farming for arataki itto, pls come home)

bloons td6 (i've somehow racked up 60 hours on this game...its so fun...i love it...)

lastly, my october hyperfixation was...

horror movies and true crime!! i watched over 100 hours of movies, video essays, podcasts, and documentaries relating to horror and true crime. i'm officially burnt out of it though, so i will be back next month to once again happily share my interests!! byeee

OHHHHKAY I FINALLY WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF HAZBIN ON YOUTUBE AND . HM. HM. MANY MANY THOUGHTS HEAD FULL

okay okay. please dont hate me. i was underwhelmed

LISTEN I CAN EXPLAIN. the first thing that stuck out to me was the,,,, dialogue? in some scenes its GREAT but initially i was sort of jarred by it, i feel like it's going wayyy too hard on the exposition at the cost of immersion. it just feels noticeably clunky in scenes

the SECOND thing, i both LOVE and dislike the music. i love like 65% of happy day in hell but vaggie's sudden interjection, plus the sequence where the background changes and charlie is like rolling along with all the random sinners singing felt. aghhhh i don't have a new word a lot of it just feels CLUNKY to me !! help !!!

i DO enjoy the characterization, from the get go a lot of it seems very very clear and tightly written. alastor remains my favorite character and the implications of vaggie making a deal with him have me MAJORLY intrigued i am SO curious about their dynamic in particular .

i. fucking. LOVE. ADAM. OH MY GOD HES GREAT. his speech style his outrageous personality HIS TAKEOVER OF HAPPY DAY IN HELL MADE ME SOOO EXCITED, THAT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE TO ME. ive seen criticism of him as 'uhh the writing is so dumb and lazy if the angels behave just like the sinners' but i literally dont give a fuck he is ENTERTAINING (and if i wanted to be serious about it i COULD say something about the juxtaposition between the angels and sinners seemingly having the same brand of humor but being WILDLY different in terms of worldview and philosophy. the angels who are self-obsessed and think theyre the greatest things to ever exist vs the sinners fully embracing themselves as the WORST things to ever exist, and charlie somewhere in the middle. oooooh i just KNOW this is gonna be a whole thing for my brain to chew on)

okay okay im sure theres more i could say but . hhhh. brainworms only. i think my official stance, for right now, is that i am fully optimistic that the rest of the show is gonna be awesome, but, as for right now... i think i actually preferred the youtube pilot to this first episode. i enjoyed the set design more, the character animation more (it feels stiffer in this one?? hazbin pilot and helluva boss both have a way more BOUNCY feel to them, i think, and i just adore it; i felt like it was missing from this one a bit), and most ESPECIALLY the dialogue. i way preferred the dialogue in the pilot than in here.

i DID absolutely love the expectation subversion of adam and lilith, though. that they eagerly wanted to share the gift of free will with humanity, rather than trying to orchestrate a cataclysm on purpose. i really enjoyed that.

(also, my final note: the voice acting is... okay. to me. i feel like some of the voices are sort of forced, and no matter how good he is, i am sorry, but i can NOT reconcile that voice with husk's face and design. it just feels so jarring every time he opens his mouth like my brain is struggling to connect that that's where this voice is coming from. im sorry mr david)

hi! i’m that asshole anon :/

at the time i really was just very upset about the fics! theres so many people who don't care to grow and change, or dont care if it “glamourizes” that behavior. it was for sure a knee jerk reaction. i definitely should have chosen my words better and could've for sure been kinder. I do want to say that while the dynamics weren't good your writing is FANTASTIC!!! ive seen you on ao3 and your work is sincerely really good.

i'm sorry that my (rude) message made you feel bad, i think you are an amazing writer and I appreciate you coming back with a nicer response than I would've. I really do feel bad.

your smut is done really well, and i’m hiding behind the anon wall because at first it was just bc i have a *tiny* following. but now its because i’m so very ashamed at my behavior. i do agree that that was shitty and I don’t deserve any kindness or good will.

i can see that you’re a growing writer and I do understand how much those kind of comments can be. again you are a good writer. i think maybe reading those felt like such a shock and I should’ve handled it better, maybe come to you in private with respect and after cooling down. i only wrote that to you because I wasn’t seeing disclaimers for the ones that i was talking about (on ao3)

i sincerely apologize, I hope that I didn’t make you feel bad or discourage you in any way. I was far too harsh and I understand that we are all human and none of us are perfect. I wanted to explain my feelings, but not excuse my actions. i wish i had a time machine. and i appreciate you as a writer, and when the time comes I hope you can forgive me <3

Hi! firstly sorry for taking a few days to respond my personal life has been very hectic & also needed to think about what/how to say my response.

Right, firstly i really really appreciate you returning and apologising and understanding that way that you worded the message was wrong etc and it’s clear from this message you do feel bad and understand that it was wrong so I do want to thank you for that.

However, I really do want to emphasis how difficult these negative/hateful messages make writers feel. This message or any other hate messages I will always remember, particularly when its feedback for things that aren’t intentinal (such as the bdsm dynamic you referred too). Sometimes writing doesn’t always come across how I wanted to in my mind and doesnt mean that it is written with malicious intent. Furthermore, there are ALWAYS warnings on my writing that I do feel like people just half read and don’t fully take into account. Yes, I could have labelled it further to specify that the reader enjoyed to be punished therefore there was pre-agreed consent but as I said, it was one of my very first fanfics so had a lot to learn still.

Again, I really do appreciate your response because every time I reply to a hateful anon, they never come back and I feel like it wasn’t worth the response in the first place so I’m very happy that you’ve actually read my explanation etc and giving me another chance.

Just for future though, for you or ANYONE going to send a message, always do it with kindness and education in mind. It’s hard to see that you have mentioned that you have enjoyed my other work so you know my writing style and still felt that one fic was glamourising something so negative you felt the need to send me a hurtful and patronising message instead of taking a moment to think ‘oh i like the other fics, this one is a bit different maybe i should message just to clarify’ - instead of what was sent in the first place and just assuming that I’m willing to write abusive fics.

But anyway, all is forgiven because I really hate negativity, I hope you are also doing ok, I do believe you are sorry and regret sending the message so everything is absolutely fine, lessons are learnt on both end of this interaction. Sending peace and love ღღ

(continued) her person was unrelieable. I still love her because i know if she wasnt being held back by the person she loves, i know her true potential will be something greater. she already is an amazing person alone, when it's just me and her. but anyways. we all finally escaped the building. "FUCK YOU" one called out. and jimmy followed up on it and said something unnecessary too. They walked away. they felt nothing. i walked back. i wanted to talk to the homeless. i was curious. curiosity is a dangerous thing, but also a great thing if it comes with carefullness. I turned around, jimmy and his friend came back for me. They walked towards me and i was thinking "oh lord. how else am i supposed to be vulnerable speaking to this homeless man without people thinking im weird. but i dont remember what i said when they walked up to me but i do remember speaking about the unnecessary comments. I said "you should apologize." and they did without hesitation. Men apologizing like this? ive never seen it before. it was so genuine too. Our front from the previous stance we had inside the building he said something along the lines of "im sorry, i hope we didnt scare you. I was just scared. You can have the building to yourself now, its peaceful in there. I hope you have a good night." I can tell it came from the heart. I walked up to him and asked. "dont you feel better after that?" he responded with, "i feel the same." i was surprised. i shrugged it off, its not a big deal i was curious if he felt something, but i guess he didnt. i hoped he did though. nonetheless, he has a good heart. I went to jimmy, "did you notice something about that situation?" he responed with something i wasnt interested in. it wasnt the answer i was looking for so i tuned it out. i didnt understand a word. something about we handled that pretty good? yea, i agree. even if we didnt do my plan, the mind of a man led to a much more safer route for me and the rest of the group in case of danger. :) I called them idiots but i take it back. i know humans are misunderstood but because they are misunderstood, its better to be safe than sorry. We all decided to split ways. All of our phones are pretty much dead are about to die. The 3 guys needed an uber, so i waited with them, we talked. the two other guys talked, and then it was me and jimmy. i saw his box of cigs. i picked it up and questioned him about it. why did you start smoking? how did you get introduced to it? why dont you stop? something that he said that stood out to me and that i whole heartedly agree on... "many people have something they use to cope. compared to what i used to do, shoot up and all that stuff. (he grabs the box of cigs out of my hand) this is what keeps me going through my day." he opens the box of cigs and told me to flip one of them over. i asked why, i didnt understand the purpose. he explained to me that would mean it would be his lucky cig and that everytime he opens the box he'll remember me. i didn't understand his reasoning or where it came from, i couldn't relate but i could guess that he has some sort of positive connection with cigs and that one cigarette would give him some sort of sentimental value as he smokes it and remembers me. That is EXTREMELY thoughtful and i truly felt that in my heart. human connection can be so nice. so real.... so unique.

Their uber showed up. one of the guys said "we need to grab our stuff from your car." we all walked towards the car. me talking to jimmy, "you know you littered earlier." he didnt remember what he threw on the floor but i do. i picked it up. it was a beer can. i hated him for that. how insensitive. i remember i put in in my car. "and we just had a talk about how the earth is dying and you knew that. it's like you knew it and you still did it anyways." he responded with something along the lines of "im a loser." i opened the car. put all the cans in the box i found. i walked up to him before he got into his uber ride. i held out the box full of beer cans in front of him. he reached out and grabbed it but before i let it go. i said "put this in the RECYCLING bin." he almost cut me off as if he understood, expecting me to say "trash." no, he needs to redeem himself. not only to me, and how much i was disgusted by the behavior but to himself. he automatically becomes a better person if he recycles it. if it doesn't make it to the recycling bin, thats okay. as long as he attempted to, that is a good start. "i'll send you a video of it too" he said as he walked to the car. That was the end of my night. how luck i was to experience this. I thank my god, my lifenity, and the universe for giving me this one in a lifetime opportunity.

Hi Zadie angel babyyyy!! 🥰

The first thing I want to say is that I am very sorry for not writing to you for a long time. Uni started, I started working, I was up to my neck in obligations, I literally couldn't manage 10 minutes of rest, and I couldn't dedicate myself to what I love. Honestly, I thought it would be too difficult for me and that I would give up my job, and the only reason I started working at all, was to make it a little easier and help my parents, to earn enough to at least be able to give my brother money when he needs it, so he doesn't ask them... BUT that's a story for another time.

And now, first SB!! You did such a good job with that story and I think you should be very proud of yourself!!! I know I am!! I'm sorry that there were so many bad reviews about SB, I'm sorry that some people were so harsh on you when you were doing your best and I'm most sorry that it affected you in some way in the sense that because of their opinions, you threw away some parts of the story, that you adapted the story to their liking, and that you didn't do with it what you had planned from the beginning. I hope you won't get me wrong, in my opinion, SB is a very well written, well done story. It showed us some values that we should strive for in life. You can see the effort and love that were invested there!! But I'm sorry that other people's opinions and harshness are the reason why you didn't do everything and exactly the way you wanted with it.

As far as CH is concerned, it's just the beginning, but it's so already SOOOO exciting, it kind of gets you hooked, and you just want more and more and more. With every new chap, you leave us so curious. I can't explain to you HOW much I wanna know about the reason they hate each other. What could have made them act like that if they were best friends??? What is it that makes them have no problem throwing their traumas in each other's faces as if to say "good day"?! I AM SO CURIOUS!!! SO INVESTED!! Every day I impatiently look forward to what you will feed us 🥹

DON'T even let me get started on the last nights chap, because it was SO GOOD, it really got me feeling things Zadie.. like i was like this the whole time "🫠🫠🫠" reading it. The chemistry, the sexual tension, THE SEX, THE HATE, all of that was so well presented to us.. I just..loss of words honestly..

I just hope that this time you will do what YOU want, what YOU like with the story. Trust me, in the end, the most important thing is that you like your work and that you are satisfied with it. That's when the love and commitment you have and that you provide through your stories are felt the most.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk 🤣

-🐼 (told ya i was gonna write an essay today)

tte SB review made me go all :( in the best way possible. you guys rrally showed me so much live and support and i will forever cherish that with the entirety of my heart. thank you so much baby, am so glad you liked it☁️🫧

[karoochui]

Hello there Mika!! Your art is huge inspiration to me and I love it so much words can't explain it, I absolutely love your sketches, doodles, full art pieces, whatever you make I absolutely adore. Sorry for blabbing but just wanted to ask about things you really hate about sskk, like what the fandom does with the ship that you dislike?😭 Take care of yourself drink some water!💜💫

TW for sa mention!! Sorry but i ramble a bit here so im gonna add a cut!! (Plus the tw) Take care of yourself too and ill get some water right now actually😋

Okay firstly!! Hello!! Thank you so much!! And no worries no need to apologize its very sweet of you im so glad you like my art i really do appreciate it!! Thank you!

And its hard for me to say exactly? Im still very much into bsd but ive been distant with the fandom for a little while now BUT!! From what i remember what i usually didnt like was when people would make them so..two dimensional kinda?? BSD has pretty morally complicated characters and it was really weird when people would flatten sskk's personalities down to just some ship dynamic bc they are SOOO much more complicated than that. And thats just as INDIVIDUALS!! Even when considering them together theres a lot to think about when it comes down to their functionality, whether or not its viewed as romantic or platonic. And of course youre always gonna have those people who just water down any mlm ship into some weird dynamic that doesn't even fit the character's relationship which is just obviously Not Great.

And then as far as the characters individually i feel like a lot of people baby atsushi its really odd. Like that man has gone through some shit he is GROWNNN. I think its because hes the "softer" one out if the two or whatever. Which yeah he's nicer, its made clear akutagawa isn't a great person but atsushi isnt the exact opposite of akutagawa or the "softer" one. They're narrative foils of eachother, they mirror many of the other's character traits and atsushi has also done some Not Super Stellar shit. Do i think most of it was within reason? A little, considering what hes been through and exactly what he did. I do think he is the better person between the both of them - and i feel like thats also proven - but he is by NO means "innocent" or anything weird like that.

Then for akutagawa its really only that weird sa headcannon that originated from something he said in Beast (i can't remember exactly what, but i remember thinking it was NOT enough to warrant a hc like that. I remember that much). And as someone who's been through that a couple times i think its one thing if its some way to help someone cope or feel more seen (more specifically it isnt my business to cast judgement -unless it hurts them or someone else- and im no therapist), but i have seen people apply the headcannon simply because they say its "implied" or it "makes sense". Which, once again, as someone who's gone through that i think thats just. Weird. I dont like it. I personally try to stay away from any talk about it at all from anyone.

I also don't like when people make it seems like Atsushi has to save Akutagawa or something like hes some knight in shining moral armor. Its much more complicated than that and I could go further into this but it would be a whole rant about their characters and dynamic and itd go on FOREVER. So im just gonna say that akutagawa is also a grown man and knows well enough what hes doing with himself, even if its unhealthy (not that Atsushi is any better but lets be real no one is this show really is) and he wouldn't listen to atsushi if he didnt want to anyway. This part is really just personal opinion though, and i don't cast hard judgement on people who see them that way. Im not the type to care enough.

So yeah i guess it wasn't really hard to say at all LMFAO but otherwise i dont think ive had any other issues abt it?? I dont pay much attention to things i don't like anyway so im not easily bothered lol

But i hope this answered your question!! Plz lmk if i missed or misinterpreted something!! It was nice to talk about BSD again anyway though, ive missed it.

[microcroft]

its entirely based upon vibes and they probably dont even know he has any diagnoses or anything. they dont see content creators as real human beings unless it benefits them. this shit happened to hasan for over a year, misinformation abt him and bad faith arguments ran rampant no matter how much fans tried to explain context and stuff they just dont listen because they want someone to hate. they themselves feel helpless so they want someone to project all these bad things on rather than focus on the real systems of oppression they feel helpless against. this is where they feel like they can actually control people with "power."

i remember clearly like a year ago there was a twitter space and people from the connoreatspants enjoyer community joined to dispel some of these accusations, many of them jewish, poc, lgbtq+ and they were legitimately silenced and spoken over by white mcyt stans saying they were wrong and shit. they actually dont want connor to be a good person, he's already been placed into a box and creators giving into these people and listening to them only further solidifies that they are right and what they are doing is okay. it isnt leftism, and i know some of them think it is, but it is antithetical to leftist beliefs, it is puritanical. they refuse to believe that human beings are anything but "good" or "bad" if someone on twitter says they are bad then they are bad, rehabilitation, learning and growing do not exist to them. unless someone posts a long notes app apology they havent actually apologized.

this is actually different from what happened with hasanabi, because the connor's fanbase isnt as active on twitter as hastwt is and also we are too mentally ill and afraid of confrontation to fight back on these accusations directly. if i reply to any of those threads im gonna get outnumbered by them and honestly, im 24 years old, i dont have the energy to argue with 14 year olds on twitter. i genuinely like ranboo, im proud of them for genloss, it is fucking incredible to see an enby with such a big following so successful i wanted to watch gen loss bc i love spooky shit but all of this has just.... soured it. i hate that it has but idek if im gonna watch gen loss now because of all this shit. it isnt just this circumstance, this behavior has been going on for so long and i know its only gonna get worse from here on if ranboo doesnt tell them to stop or just stop listening to them all together, they are going to turn on him and each other eventually. its all about control at the end of the day.

sry ive just seen this happen so many times and my adhd meds arent performing very well so sorry if its a bit incomprehensible (thats a lie everything ive ever written has been chaotic). i should also say that i understand where they are coming from bc i was where they are and i probably would have been like that if i was their age on twitter but that doesnt make it acceptable or okay. ive grown a lot since then and learned a lot. its about control and incredibly unproductive to what they say they are trying to fight against, it does nothing in the grand scheme of things but make people feel bad and its these sorts of online attacks that can genuinely lead to people killing themselves and they have before which is why im so upset about it. like if you want to actually do something, join your local political activist groups, read about systems of oppression, volunteer, people have been making call out posts for a decade and it doesnt actually do anything. thankfully connor is a good person but if he wasnt, it could have had the opposite effect. we have seen it have the opposite effect before

i feel so bad

[sporesgalaxy]

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I never saw them as like,, romantic? And more as Loki comforting this alternate self that he has and formed a bond with

ok look I'm making the assumption that it's intended that way by the people writing it based on common lazy romantic shorthand writing in shows and movies, which Lokishow is ticking off boxes for like it's going out of style whether they're going to become explicitly romantic or not.

I will explain a bit more below but SERIOUSLY. this is how Ive been watching the show

I wanna see it that way too but not-explicitly-romantic interactions that I've seen used as romantic tension shorthand hundreds of times in my wretched movie-and-show-watching life will not stop popping up no matter how many times I roll my eyes and make annoyed noises at the screen.

Mobius accusing Loki of having romantic feelings and not getting a straight answer besides "she's not my girlfriend" was the one that convinced me the writers were doing it intentionally because it is so extremely textbook. I can't even think of a specific example besides every single teen-boy-focus-grouped action cartoon I ever watched where the love interests who end up together start out adamantly saying they are NOT boyfriend/girlfriend, so funny and ironic. I have seen literally countless would-be compelling friendship dynamics jammed into a heteromance cookie cutter, heralded by these exact words.

actually, Sylvie showing no interest and seemingly only being annoyed by Loki being nice to her is also lazy romantic shorthand for female romantic interest! No joke! Prime example I hate that does this and then puts the characters into a romantic relationship: La La Land.

Even if this is all an elaborate fakeout designed to make a fool of me, I'm still convinced it's intentionally encouraging shipping them noncanonically which I still find irritating.
