#sorry for the negativity

Oof. The problem with publishing a fic across more than three years while working consistently on improving your writing during that time is that it makes it REALLY hard to enjoy the early parts of the story when you look back at them.

Idk, there's just something deeply ironic about the fact that I wrote this story for myself and that the very act of continuing to write has made me less capable of enjoying it. Because all I see now is what I could have / should have done differently if only I'd learned some of these lessons earlier T-T

[so-what-then]

Idgaf what anyone ships.

What I care about is that an entire show was ruined in order to force a Rhaenicent relationship. I care about how everything and everyone in HotD - every plot development, every character choice, the finale - is meant to bend around this stupid ship to the detriment of the entire series. How the purity of Rhaenyra and Alicent and of their fRiEnDshIp can't be sullied no matter what.

I don't usually check out interviews with writers but from the ones I've seen it's clear HotD writers are expecting props for this shit. But its 2024: I don't need to be patronized to about misogyny and patriarchy, and I don't need to squint for queer subtext or have random fanservice (which is what that Rhaenyra x Mysaria scene is) for queer representation.

Angling for a more complex relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra is one thing. Using a book adaptation to create a Rhaenicent fanfic is another. And thats exactly what the writers did.

i really want a penis but I don't want to take hormones to enlarge my clit to do it (I'm an operationally trained soprano and would die before losing my whistle tone) and this seems like it'll make getting bottom surgery very difficult. I can't figure out which surgery would be better suited to my specific circumstances:( do you or any of your followers have any info?

You should be able to get a penis and not have to take hormones so that you could still sing beautifully and also swagger around brandishing your member.

But as of today, you’ll be lucky if you don’t end up as a handmaiden

The funniest take on Greek gods (I've seen at least) is this boy on TikTok who said (or y'know the text) "you can't worship aphrodite, it's a sin" like.. a sin to what?? YOUR religion?? 😂 Like dude, I think **some** Christians might also worship her?? Like I saw one person saying it but he knows that ...there's people who worship aphrodite and are... Pagan? Or y'know... They worship Greek gods?

🚨RANT POST 🚨

You know what I’m just come right out and say it.

This community as a whole doesn’t fucking deserve Vanessa or Gregory.

Here you have two characters, VITAL to the plots of pretty much the entirety of SW era, obvious connections to what is happening and parallels to each other, and yet they are treated like LITERAL SHIT.

The Gregory hate is soo forced at this point. Like how hard is it to comprehend the fact that this CHILD was thrown into a horrific LIFE OR DEATH situation? I’m sorry what tf would you have done if you had 400 lb animatronics trying to rip you apart? And as far as this ‘lack of empathy’ bc he ‘didn’t care about Freddy’s feelings and therefore doesn’t care about Freddy..’ SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. He literally risked his fucking life to save him getting all those parts, just bc he doesn’t show emotions the way you THINK he should doesn’t make him a fucking psychopath! He’s a CHILD!!! And if I may be so bold, saying a character is inherently bad bc of the way they behave reeks of ableism (yes I am an autistic Gregory truther but that’s besides the point). He had EVERY RIGHT to defend himself and guess what? He wouldn’t have rescued a mind controlled woman he barely knew and was honestly quite fucking rude to him if he LACKED EMPATHY. FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT.

And as for Vanessa, what do you even want me to say? She’s one of if not THE most underutilized character in the fucking franchise. And yet she’s treated so terribly. The misogyny is literally DRIPPING from so many people that only see her as the ‘sexy security guard’ UGHH YES she is attractive I will give her that, but she is SO MUCH MORE than that. I’m almost confident that the people that wanna write her off don’t know her story. Did you pay attention to help wanted? Did you read the AR emails? Did you even play the therapy tapes?? HER STORY IS THERE. Yes it’s butchered to shit but it’s still enough that you can draw conclusions and not write her off as a one off one dimensional angry bitch.

I understand that people have different tastes, and you are absolutely allowed to like and dislike what you want. But my god, the complete disrespect for these two it just.. it BOTHERS ME.

These two deserve so much more than what they’re given. Even the franchise itself I don’t think is giving them the respect they deserve. Making Gregory look like an antagonist as ‘good vs bad’ between him and Cassie, and then just blatantly ignoring Vanessa into obscurity even though it’s clear Scott wants to do more with the character. For crying out loud, SHES IN THE MOVIE! And yes it did help to put her on the map to some degree but she’s still not getting the right respect.

I don’t mean to be negative, I’m not a negative person, I just.. needed to get these thoughts about bc they’ve been bubbling for so long.

Also please note I am NOT talking about the 3 star fam fandom in this post, you guys are MORE than respectful to these characters. I may not fully agree with every interpretation but I can appreciate the love that’s still being poured out to them. So you guys more than do deserve them :3

Ok rant over, back to working on my WIPs ✌️

I have had the worst 48 hours of my life.

I’m feeling somewhat better, thankfully.

Antibiotic side effects are no joke ya’ll. Turns out I’d suddenly developed a severe sensitivity/mild allergic reaction to the antibiotic (even though I’d taken it once before years ago). One doctor told me to KEEP taking them?! Hello?!?!?! Are you insane?!?!?!

Ofc, I refused and spoke to another doctor today who did tell me to stop taking them and gave me anti-sickness tablets amongst other tablets to settle the reaction.

Chronic illness sucks and being autistic whilst experiencing such bad symptoms is horrible, it’s triggered meltdown galore.

Male doctors need to listen to women patients more and take our reactions seriously!!!

[maharellasa]

Oh...

I guess...

😐

No husband after all.

okay, I'm gonna be mean, but the ONLY reason I tuned into this story every week was the hope of hearing Solas. And now I feel tricked 😅 I couldn't care less about Nadia or Drayden or Elio, sorry. they could have at least given us a Dorian cameo. Oh well. Total waste of time.

unrequited love is only fun in fanfic :( definitely not in real life

[vreenak]

I started watching Silo and I think it's a great show with an interesting premise, but Rebecca Ferguson's character is so insufferable I want to bite my keyboard. I just want Rashida back!

[loversandantiheroes]

I swear, everyone kept saying they wanted Pedro in a romcom and now we have this monkey's paw-ass situation.

Today I talked with a tattoo studio to make my 3rd tattoo 💭

[raviolitin]

Remember that time ouat wrote a beautiful relationship between two very different men growing together after one desperately fights to save the others life and then boiled it down to two himbo “bros” where one has no personality outside of being an overprotective father?

What the Future Holds

I’ve seen a few people making posts like this, and considering how much this series means to me and how it’s technically ending tomorrow, I feel like I should do my own, both to clear up things to y’all and for my own peace of mind.

So, to start with the obvious question; I’m not going anywhere once the show has ended, but I’m also not going to interact with any Season 3 content or write anything about it. As far as I’m concerned, Hilda is still my main fandom, and I have many more fic ideas for it, but there is no Season 3.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that my fic output has been slowing down the last couple of years; part of that is that my interest peaked with Season 2’s release, and I do spend more time with other fandoms these days, but none of them have gotten to me the way Hilda has. The truth is I’ve had to take some time away from this fandom for personal reasons, and also, to be honest, 2023 has been a slow year for me as a writer in general. My output has basically been 1/3rd of what it was last year.

The reason for that is because I’ve been working on a truly massive other project. I initially planned on setting aside 3 months for it, but it’s evolved into an entire year’s work and it’s still not quite done. But I am still writing in between working on this, and I have decided outright that I’m done once 2024 starts, so hopefully I’ll do more writing then. Either way, I have many more ideas I want to get down, including two more Hilda fics by the end of this month alone.

Longer term? I can’t promise I’ll be here forever, but I also can’t see myself leaving this franchise behind. Hilda and Twig will hopefully spawn some more ideas, and eventually I need to continue the Runaway AU alongside others.

Plus, Hilda, or at least the first two seasons, are like home to me. I have an entire Hilda corner in my bedroom. I love this little blue-haired kid and everything about the world she lives in, and I can’t imagine that changing for a long time yet. It’s already been years since my favourite parts of canon came out; what’s a few more, eh?
