I swear the weaker my body gets the more it sabotages itself. The closer i get to things getting better the more things get worse

[paracosm-draw]

I've been reflecting on why I love Anakin's character so very much and I've come to realize that specific parts of me can relate to specific parts of him

Not the maniacal children killer parts don't worry

More like the weird teenage boy parts (even though I'm not really a teenager anymore)

We share the same curse of feeling too intensely and having a mind that never sleeps, feeling like being too much and not enough at the same time, not really knowing how to make friends and keep them, having to learn how to behave socially by imitating people's behaviour, hyperfixating on things in cycles, feeling lonely and anxious all the time and isolating instead of asking for help, being hard to love but willing to, needing validation and seeking usefulness because you can't be loved if you're not useful, seeking purpose in a world which is not meant for dreamers

There are lots of parts of him I can't relate to, fortunately

But still he's so very precious to me and the way people write about him always makes my heart clench a little

Last time someone commented on one of my fic that one specific line about him hit too close to home and maybe it's just about that

About finding your personal fictional little trinket, the one you keep in your pocket like a good luck charm and get out when you need to find yourself again

Or words able to dissect what's happening in your head and knowing that there's someone out there writing them and maybe feeling the same as you

Anyway I don't even know what is the point of this post, maybe just to tell people to continue to proudly love and speak and read and write about their comfort characters because they're here for that, to make you feel less alone in this ridiculous universe

[rainbowdelicsunshine]

Me when a former acquaintance cuts you off for a witch hunt callout post made on you YEARS ago that said acquaintance forced you to show them said callout post (I was very uncomfortable with that cuz I knew they would pull what they did) with the cost of our friendship (??) and promised would still be there and not judge

But then months later comes and victim blames you for what happened in the callout post, saying they can't be associated with me anymore because of the "mistakes" I made (even though they even said in the same sentence I was tricked, coerced and bullied into that position)

(and yes, said callout post was made by that Fucked Up Muppet Kin Discord Group I was in during my late teens I spoke of before)

[the-brainrot-central]

That feeling when you thought you were gonna have a good day and do something fun but then you fuck up and make someone you know upset and go “well, shit, I did it again, didn’t I?”

It’s like I never change. It’s like my brain doesn’t even work the way it’s supposed to. I’m not growing up at all. Why do I keep fucking up like this??

You never think it’ll be one of those “well shit, I really fucked up” kind of days until it becomes one, and then you wish you could turn back time cus you didn’t realize how bad you were gonna fuck things up just by making a stupid, impulse decision or a small mistake

Anyways how’s everyone’s day going

Goldfish memory Choi Su-bong x F!Reader

part 2

summary: after witnessing your (ex-)boyfriend cheating on you (and making no effort to hide it), you go to a fast-food place and complain to the cashier. but that random man is a way better listener than your stupid ex ever was, and you find yourself ranting to that hot stranger.

warnings: not really a warning, but reader is extremely blunt, tactless and messy. not in a bad way, just a big blunt mess. swearing, mentions of cheating

a/n: sorry for being inactive :( ill try to update my main stories this weekend but here is a filler episode to make up for it. also McRonalds bc we boycott here ! btw not proofread im super tired #help

The lights of the cheap McRonald at the end of the street kept flickering to death, neon red bleeding into the puddles on the pavement. The rain fell in slow slivers, barely there but still making the hairs on your arms rise. You sneezed, walked faster and reached for the handle.

Your mind was a wreckage site. The sterile light immediately woke you up, it was so late. The smell of frying and salt hit your face, it got warmer and greasier. Scanning the screens, you found them all taken, and you muttered an insult. The cashier was tapping on the screen, his lips moving silently as if talking to himself, and he had an AirPod in.

He wouldn’t hear you. You needed to vent. That is why you slammed your hands onto the counter.

“I just think,” you announced, “that if you’re gonna cheat, at least try to fucking hide it."

The boy behind the register barely looked up from the screen, swaying his head slightly to the music you could hear from here. His name tag read Su-bong, his hair under his cap was too bright for this night, a flashy purple tousled on the edges of a fluffy brown mass, and you spotted silver piercings on his ears as well as a black line going up his coloured fingers. He looked familiar, but you had no time for familiarity.

“You okay girl?” he asked, finally looking at you when you said nothing, pulling out an earbud.

“Fucking great," you snapped. Anger and exhaustion coexisted within you and you broke down. "My boyfriend decided to raw-dog some girl on MY couch in MY house. When I opened the door, he saw me, but that asshole kept going until he finished. Only then did he fall to his knees and beg. After he was done."

You squint your eyes in disgust.

"He said it ‘just happened.’ Like he tripped and fell into her y’know."

Then, you stare suspiciously at the cashier. Gladly, it’s late, and there is no one standing behind you, the people are ordering at the machines. His dark eyes are surrounded by a blue orbit, and eye bags make the dark circles pop. He puts down the earbud, stops tapping on the screen.

Letting out a low whistle, he finally taps at the register. “That’s rough, señorita. Wouldn’t wish that on myself."

“No, rough is the fact that he had the audacity to send me a voice note crying about it,” you continued, pointing an accusing finger at him. “Like he’s the victim. Like I put him in that situation. You ever seen a grown man sniffle out a ‘baby please’ while he’s got another girl’s press-on nails still clawed into his shoulder?”

That got a real reaction. Su-bong barked out a laugh, pressing a hand to his chest like he’d been shot.

“Oh, that’s tragic.”

“That’s pathetic.”

He was still grinning when he turned around, grabbing a large soda cup and filling it, before taking a loud sip from it.

"So what’re you gonna do bout this cheating narcissistic little bitch?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean if I were you, I’d light his pants on fire. Or maybe steal his dog. Or… nah that’s breaking bro code. Don’t break his PS5. That’s too mean."

"Oh. Good ideas."

He shook his head and sipped again from his coke. "Nah. Y’know what breaks any man more than revenge? Nothing. Do nothing and walk away like a proud bitch. That makes us want to go on all fours and beg."

You laughed, hand brushing his arm instinctively. Keen on physical touch, that seemed to shine the cashier’s eyes who was already in another dimension. He stared at you an instant before straightening again.

"Why are you even helping me?" Your laugh died down, the ghost of a smile on your lips.

“Because my night’s already shit. And a pretty girl’s whining bout a shitty guy. What a way to score a goal on some fine shit."

Your heart, that had calmed down since the awful stress the visual sight from earlier had put on you, sprinted again. You were dizzy, it was late. His gaze locked with yours, tired. Absentmindedly, your fingers touched his forearm, and he let you there. Stroking circles, you watched the way his breath hitched and the way his eyes stared at your eyes. Those eyes. Those tattoos. This purple hair.

"Hold on. I know you."

The instant broke. He pulled his arm away, turned back to the register, lips curling, self-deprecating. “’Course you do babygirl. Everyone does." He sighed, took a sip of his drink. "’Specially after last week."

You leaned in. “You’re Thanos.”

His expression didn’t change. He slightly furrowed his brows, removed a piece of fry from his teeth and swallowed it. His elbows were now propped on the counter as your meal was getting prepared behind, and he was awaiting a reaction.

“My ex loved you,” you said. “Wouldn’t shut up about your freestyles. Played them in the car. I hated it.”

Su-bong blinked once. Then, instead of looking offended, he let out a short, dry laugh. “Wow. Brutal.”

"Fucking hell each time I’d hear your voice I thought I was going MAD. If we were fighting, he’d blast your hit song ‘break ur bones not my heart’ or whatever that was. If I complained about any minor inconvenience he’d slam into my ears ‘bitches get mad when they know I’m right’. Man, even after he cheated he sent me a Spotify link to your ‘ain’t nothing better than make up sex."

You were not exactly known for your tact. That is why Su-bong was biting his lower lip at a loss of words. He got criticism. Lots of it. But he’d usually get told his music was just plain amazing or shit. No explanation. He awaited the continuation. You were seemingly lost in your raging anger.

"Your rap isn’t totally bad though," you remarked. "Just-"

“Just?”

You sighed, debating whether you should keep talking. But you were too far in.

“Sometimes it felt like you relied too much on your flow to carry you. Like, you’d have these really good setups, and I’d be waiting for the punchline, and then it wouldn’t land as hard as it could have. Like you were holding back, or playing it safe. I mean I would appreciate some of the things my ex played in my ears, but I’d never tell him."

He didn’t say anything right away. Just tilted his head slightly, considering.

Then: “That’s actually solid criticism.”

You shrugged. “Whatever." Then, you looked over his shoulder. "I’m hungry! When’s my food coming?"

Su-bong looked back too, before standing. "Girl I think you forgot to order."

That made you smile. He watched you, amused, as you made a motion similar to pouting, observing the menu. "Triple cheeseburger. Lots of fries and pickles. And sauce. Extra spicy."

Su-bong tilted his head. "That’s all for you tonight señorita?"

You bit your lip again, let out a quiet ouch. "I think so. Oh, maybe add sparkling water."

He smirked. "Not many people go for that."

You didn’t answer immediately, pulling out your card from the mess in your bag as two lipsticks fell and rolled to the ground as well as bills. Muttering insults, you knelt and grabbed your stuff, finally exhaling.

"Yeah I’ve never tried it before. Just first thing that came to my mind. I don’t wanna think of the shit in my apartment. Fucking hell, he stained my couch with his sweat and another woman’s. That’s so disgusting!" You kept swearing, scanning the card. It kept declining and you almost crumbled in despair.

The cashier chuckled pitifully. "Don’t worry it’s on me. Tonight."

You half-smiled. "You’re broke. I saw the last rap battle. Actually, my ex kept replaying it and saying it was rigged and you didn’t forget your own lyrics."

If he was embarrassed, he did not show it. He called someone from the back and gave them your exact order. "See? The memory of a goldfish."

"Gold fishes have shit memories. It’s elephants."

He laughed. "I know babe. Been testing you."

Your meal came. His fingers brushed against yours as he gave you your cardboard bag, he stared at you a second too long.

is not proofread I’m exhausted I need sleep

[antiendovents]

actually, since i already commented on your post about tulpas and how they pissed me off; im gonna do it again. in detail.

note: i am a former buddhist, i live in a buddhist country. (95% of thais are buddhists) and pretty much been surrounded by it. im asian. saying it before people jump at me because im terrified as shit

as i mentioned, tulpas are stolen and bastardized completely from a tribe of tibetan buddhists, and the practice itself isn't even a system thing. while thai buddhism and tibetan buddhism are different in their own way, i am very fucking pissed off that they just saw the concept of a thoughtform spirit that helps you meditate, overcome your fear and guide you to nirvana (because that's the main purpose of buddhism) and turn them into "oh! we make alters because we can due to our meditation and we're spiritual so that totally excuses using a generally closed practice! we're not harming anyone!" total bullshit.

i don't want (and sorry if i'm a bit mean) those bigoted fucks stealing basically my culture since im attached to buddhism in general, i grew up with it. and "tulpa systems" slapping it on themselves for the sake of being "unique". i have seen countless comments and posts about how its always the white/non asian people that say "no its not a closed practice, its not cultural appropriation :) actually you should be glad we're appreciating your culture in the first place" fuck off! appreciating culture is fine, but you bastardize it so much and dumb it down to just "making alters/imaginary friends" are you just hearing yourself? are you stupid? are you braindead? god, im getting so angry again.

i have also seen "tulpamancers" insulting actual asians like me who speak against tulpas, saying that we're just "asian token of a character" or that we're "closed minded" and should accept these assholes who dont know what theyre doing into my culture and blatantly disrespecting it, spitting on it and just taking one practice that fits their narrative. wow, talk about being appreciative while half of your community does shit like this to actual buddhists, huh? real nice of you. way to go, you cultural appropriating fucks. /vneg

i cannot count how many times asian culture is so whitewashed on the internet, people that just take our tradition and do whatever the hell they want with it, including making a system out of thoughtforms, which is not possible whatsoever. and for what? FOR WHAT? for your own sick entertainment and enjoyment of having a imaginary friend in your head? try dissociating so hard you cry yourself to sleep you absolute pillock. this is a very angry submission, but it just frustrates me so much. all of the insulting "yous" are directed towards "tulpamancers" that they proudly call themselves. by the way. sorry if it sounded like it was directed at you, im just so angry at the moment.

one last thing. Stop. Using. The Term. Tulpa. For your system. Please!!!!. tulpa systems are not a thing and will never be. End of story. Nothing will change that. Endos fuck off. im sick of your shit. thanks for reading my angry rant.

-azriel for the majority of this, rox/virus proofreading some of the parts, thanks for letting us vent ^^

i dont have much to add, please read this ^^

Day 22 - Angry kiss

Characters: Simeon x male!MC

25 kisses challenge Masterlist

Main Masterlist

CW: some bad words and MC ranting about the brothers, Simeon being patient about it. Established relationship

A/N: Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience!

.

There were loud steps before the bang, both catching Simeon’s attention and making the furniture rattle against the floor and the walls. He only had time to put down his notebook and start to get up before MC stomped his way towards his bed and let himself fall backwards.

He looked fretful, restless legs messing with the blankets while the angry pout in his face wrinkled his forehead.

Letting out a chuckle, Simeon smiled and sat at his boyfriend’s feet, rubbing his calf in a gentle motion. He noticed, then, that his socks were mismatched, only one of the pants’ legs was cuffed and the shoelaces were barely tied. MC likely rushed to Purgatory Hall.

What surprised him the most, however, was the homicidal glint to his eyes.

It wasn’t just anger. It was the yearning for murder.

Knowing what was coming, Simeon sighed and finally asked.

“Was it the brothers, my love?”

“The fucking brothers again”

MC sat against the headboard, avoiding Simeon’s gaze with trembling fingers, possibly daydreaming about chocking someone. Which one this time?

“The absolute morons” he continued, not registering the angel’s soothing touch “The audacity they have. The mental gymnastics they do, I swear. And they put me in the middle of their shit all the fucking time. What do I look like? A kindergarten teacher? Are they four years old now? Because they act like it!”

“Well…”

“And let me tell you”

Simeon could only stare as his beloved human got up and paced, placing every little trinket back in their place with absurd carefulness. Not that the room was messy to being with, but if that made him relax faster, then Simeon would let him be.

“They used to treat me like I was dumb, like I wouldn’t be able to breathe without their help, and they still make me responsible for every single one of his problems. Whenever Lucifer has too much work to do, guess who watches over the rest of them! Me! And when I get pulled into Satan and Belphie’s pranks against my will, guess who’s also getting punished! Me!!”

“My love…”

It was no use. His voice drowned under MC’s frustrations and he knew shouting to get his attention wouldn’t be the best idea. Also, they’d be lucky if Luke was still sleeping in his room. MC was talking loud enough for the both of them.

“And even when I’m not there, the blame still falls on me! Those snitches, those… assholes! We got trapped in a damn book the other day and Lucifer made us bathe Cerberus with our bare hands! I didn’t even know the book was cursed to begin with! I was just passing by!”

He kept rambling, moving books and pens and every other thing at arm’s reach and relocating them in other shelves and drawers.

Knowing the rant wouldn’t stop soon and wanting Luke’s rest to continue uninterrupted, Simeon got up and softly grabbed MC’s wrist and waist, walking them to the door to go to the kitchen.

Maybe a hot cup of tea, or any other beverage, really, could help MC relax and vent with a clearer mind. They still had some leftover cookies from Luke’s latest batch and, although he’d always love the sound of his lover’s voice, he knew the chewing would give Simeon a few seconds of silence to comfort MC.

He continued talking, thankfully in a lower tone, while Simeon prepared the drinks. The angel was extremely delighted to hear a slight quiver in his voice when he leaned over his shoulder to offer the teacup and kissed the top of his head.

Minute by minute, sipping scolding hot tea, eating pastries and talking about the demon brothers, MC slowly loosened up and accepted Simeon’s open hand, unconsciously bringing it to his lips and letting them rest there for a long while.

Hours later, when the morning came, Simeon made sure to pay a quick visit to his former brother.

Morning - Eddie asking anon from yesterday again 😀

God you could totally be right that the show makes Eddie's return about custody issues, and I agree with you I would hate that.

Maybe the simplest answer is that they both come back but Chris is just a recurring character going forward, not a main.

If they do come back I wonder how they'll address Eddie's dynamic with bucktommy. I'm firmly in the belief bucktommy will be back together by the end of this season (whether they keep them together after that who knows). Whilst I loved the eddietommy friendship (i actually kinda prefer it to Buck + Eddie friendship!!) I didn't love how much Eddie was a bit of a 3rd wheel in scenes I would have preferred to be just bucktommy.

I'd hope going forward Eddie just calls Tommy a dumbass for being insecure over nothing and they can be mates again. I can never figure out just how much the show wants to address/ignore/bait the buddies, but at least recently they seem to be making more of a stand against it thank god.

Ryan seems so so done with it in interviews, so if he does come back and all 3 (him and bt) are on screen again surely the numbskull interviewers can't keep asking about buddie after every episode 😬 but I bet they will

Hi!

I do think the show could pull a custody battle; however, after the latest BTS (please stop reading if you don't want some vague spoilers), I do feel like he could come back because of that. Because he wasn't dressed in blues, therefore he is not currently a firefighter. And this has to be weeks after 813, so I think the custody thing won't be that bad, or the catalyst (end of spoilers)

I do agree with you, there is something to be revisited with the BuckTommy dynamic with Eddie. It was fun to have them three in a scene before, and arguably,y I will say they did a good job at showing who was Buck's boyfriend, and who was his best friend, but given what transpired in 811, I feel like the dynamic should change a bit. This is not necessarily in the way they interact, but more in (like you said) the way Eddie is there in some of their scenes.

He does feel like an add-on in Season 8, but I do think that was a direct result of Chris being gone, and the writers not knowing who to pair him with if it couldn't be with his son. I think some of that could be solved by bringing Chris back - if Eddie and Chris come back, I don't think Eddie will be in as many BT scenes.

Also, I don't think we'll ever see a scene where BT and Eddie talk about Tommy's insecurity. They did that to narrow down BT's issues (so they'd be easily fixable), and in a way to speak to the audience, but it won't be as big as we think (IMO). Buck and Tommy will deal with their issues (hopefully to a good result), and next time we see them with Eddie, the show won't even acknowledge Tommy's insecurities. At least that's what I think.

As for Ryan - look, that man is done. He's done with Buddie and, honestly? I think a part of him is also done with all the harassment cast and crew, but especially Lou, received. He has a good relationship with Lou, I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to show him support and show where he stands to the toxic Buddie stans.

Anywho. This got long, sorry haha.

My inbox is open for ranting, venting, giving your opinion (unpopular or popular, I'm happy to receive and discuss both), and even confessions! However if you don't want yours posted, please make sure to say :)

Take care <3

[waterfallofspace]

Little personal/rant/vent thingy under cut, real life stuff so feel free to skip over, just need a place to put it~ <3

had a 'situationship' (hate the term but.... what else can I call it T-T) thing end in early october/november, and... honestly I was doing pretty good with it all, but then the Lonely[tm] just kinda struck and-

man idk, sometimes it's just hard to be alone~ I am usually pretty good at it honestly, I try to find good friends and hold them close, find communities I fit into and interact in there, spend time with family, etc etc, but I am quite an anxious person, and ever since moving (leaving my only 2 irl friends behind) i almost never leave the house unless it's to go somewhere with family- yeah I just, feel the alone a little more lately~

I think partially bc that situationship was the first time I had an online friend visit, the first time I had anything close to a partner in person, first time I got cuddles, first time I had someone induce for me irl, first time for a lot of those things, the biggest one I can't get out of my head being having someone cuddle/share a bed. Just waking up to them there, or having them fall asleep hugging my leg or arm... memories I thought I was mostly over, that are starting to burn again~

yeah uh- all in all, just a bit lonely <3 and i have good friends, I do, but recently a few of them had a bit of a falling out, and my main two are getting married to each other, and already starting to form their own life that I'm less a part of [which is so fair, but I can't help feeling a bit left behind.. <3] so it's all been a bit much, and I've just....

well! this is my post so I'm gonna just say it! I've been missing having someone I can just go to and be like Hey. Let's just sit together and listen to music and watch videos and do some fun lil snz things together, just get our minds off the world and just Exist in Our Space with Just Us. Didn't realize how nice I had it with them, and didn't realize how much I'd be missing it <3 not just the snz stuff obviously, but honestly!!! i miss that too. they were not only so sweet and open about it, making me feel so safe, but dammit they were adorable~

cried like hell when they flew home, kinda knew this was gonna be a once in a lifetime experience with them, even though we didn't really say it out loud, it hurt for awhile, stopped hurting, thought it was over, pain came back~ guess I should listen to what I've been telling my other friends, grief [of any kind] comes in waves~

anyways if you made it to the end of this, uh- I'm sorry?~ and thank you, genuinely <3 even if you don't say anything or like this, just kinda- I know I read others vents like this sometimes and just feel a bit bad with nothing to add, but sometimes it just helps to know the words don't just exist in your own brain, that maybe others have seen them too, so if you just read this and nothing else, thank you <3 truly~

[veestar4911]

today was the first time in years i felt so loved from not only my darling fishii telling me they ACTUALLY enjoy talking to me then seeing my friend who never joins vc joining vc and was actively talking to me and asw my other friends whilst we played roblox. and the fact she knows that i tend to worry and the fact she cared enough to tell me not to when she tells me things. i felt so loved, so seen. i’ve never felt so loved in my entire life god.

i love my school friend i really do but she’s one of those fandom gatekeepers who’s really stubborn abt their views and so i find it hard to talk to her bc i find myself over stressing abt how what i’m gonna say, is gonna offend her. and bc of that i’ve felt so incredibly lonely lately not having sm1 to talk to who actually cared abt me and my opinions and i’ve felt so empty so devoid and not real. tdy was grounding i felt seen, perceived, and loved.

i never thought i’d ever be in a place where i’d want to live and try again until today i feel so fulfilled and reminded of the beauty of connection with other people, i don’t deserve this love i’m being showered with not a bit but god am i grateful for it i’m so grateful i’m loved like this despite being a person like i am. this isn’t even main tumblr btw this should be on my vent but i need. to share how grateful i am for the life i live.

sorry for the spiel tumblr i need ed to share how grateful i am for the people in my life including all of you for deciding to read this caring enough to read my random rants and rambles i love you.

[funhouse-mirror-barbie]

Man. I’m honestly sad about Hazbin Hotel being the way it is. Maybe, maybe it will surprise me and somehow the last 2 episodes will make the first 6 more engaging or enjoyable but like…(general vent/overall impression so far below)

Lord, it’s so clear that they had SOOOO MUUUUCH they want to get through, and for whatever reason they don’t seem to believe in their work and their story enough to let it take it’s time.

I think if they had just let the first 8 episodes be about the general main cast, maybe with each episode focusing on the improvement and work towards redemption for each hotel resident, we would have a LOT better groundwork for building up to all the intense things and lore they want to include later.

But we’re seeing either full character arcs being speed run or we’re having big twists or revelations nearly every episode and it’s just…I WANT to feel moved by this show. I WANT!!! To like the show!!! I really want to!

Because there are moments that show depth, that could have been really really interesting if we knew more about the characters, if we got to see more of how the characters interact with each other, if we got to see them take the TIME to build up to and resolve their conflicts.

But how it stands, we get at least one, if not two new characters shoved into every episode. They show up create chaos or sing a song about something important to them that we just learned about, and then they leave.

I WANT to get to know these characters! I want to see a flashback or something where Camilla and her daughters were trying to hide from the Angels, and Camilla has to fight back to protect them.

I want to see how the hotel residents ACTUALLY bonded during learning to fight with each other.

I want to learn more about Alastor from literally ANYTHING other than an exposition dump.

Sorry, again if you find these characters to be emotionally deep or they are important to you, nothing I say should take that away.

This is a lot more vent-y than usual, but I guess I’m just sad and disappointed b/c it seems like the writers and creators behind Hazbin don’t believe in their own story and their own characters. This is just how it comes off to me, and it’s just a bummer man.

This was the same feeling I had when the Pilot came out, but the Pilot at least had charm. And while I was ultimately disappointed by its writing, it was clear it was the product of a bunch of people, and bunch of artists, coming together to create something.

And even if the Pilot still needed a lot of work and improvement, you could tell that the people making it really believed in the story and characters and were excited to make it!

I didn’t really want to see the Pilot picked up when it came out in 2019, because while I admired the passion of the creators, animators, voice actors, and composers, I wasn’t sure if I personally believed in the story.

Then it got picked up, and I thought “Okay then. I’m not gonna assume the worst. There must be more to this than I initially thought. I don’t know how I’ll feel about the series, but I want to give it a chance. I hope it’s well done, I hope it’s good”

It’s come out now, and so far, to me, it’s just bad. There are still those little moments of creativity, but they are few and far between, and a lot of the time when I watch the show I’m just waiting for the next song, because that’s usually the one part of the show that is at least catchy.

I guess my only reflection I have for this moment is just. Supreme disappointment.

Sorry again for the post that’s less a review and more a vent/rant post. I think at the end of the day if I DO write any actual reviews of the episode, they will largely be me talking about things I WISH we could have seen in the show, but didn’t get to.

[colorlesschristmastree]

“It’s not Elriels’ fault that they spent months preparing for Elain’s week and therefore have a lot of content to show for it while you don’t. “ This just reminded me of how many Feyre stans never spend money on arts for her, another fault with this fandom. The main sister who saved everyone has the least art.

Art is a key reason why people enjoy fandom, it brings the storylines and characters to life. Maybe that’s why people aren’t active as Feyre stans because not only is the fandom toxic but there’s barely any decent looking Feyre arts while there’s tons of pretty arts for her mediocre sisters. There’s so much fan art of Feyre’s sisters I thought they were bigger characters before I read the books. How is it that so much time and effort is put into making art for two sisters that barely deserve it? I appreciate any art we have gotten! But…Why bother being in this fandom with barely any Feyre arts being made on top of the fandom being toxic and weird? So many Feyre or Feysand scenes in the trilogy haven’t even been drawn yet all these years later. But you have Feyre stans doing nothing but reblogging sister art. Weirdest fandom ever foreal.

Elain Elriel week meanwhile a bunch of art for characters that barely do shit. Just in case you wonder what may play a role in people not wanting to be active as Feyre stan’s. The author ignores Feyre and the fandom does arts on the sisters that never did shit. Again a very fucking weird fandom. Sorry for the rant I just got triggered by this art topic. People can do what they do what they please with their interests and money this is just a bitter rant I guess, post it or not I rly don’t even care 👌🏼

You are always welcome to vent in my anons!

I do understand the frustration and being saddened by there perhaps not being as much new Feyre art recently and I used to get similarly salty myself. I think it's important to remember though that we don't need to compare ourselves to the fandoms of other characters. A lot of the appeal of other acotar characters comes from how incomplete there stories still are. Many of these other characters still have a lot of unanswered questions and theories surrounding them and in my experience the acotar fandom has always been the most excited about imagining future plots and things for their characters.

I don't think Feyre has the least amount of artwork at all, I'd actually argue that if one were to count every single piece of acotar art that's been released since book 1 came out, so so much of it would be of Feyre or include her! Feyre is the main character of the acotar series and has three books and a novella where she is either the only pov or the primary pov. We Feyre stans are already so spoiled by the author that we don't need to care what other people are doing. Feysand is the center of everything, Feyre got a perfect story and a happy ending, three books, a mansion, and everything she could dream of.

Don't get too hung up on thinking about what other people are doing love. Feyre stans have so much and I personally have cultivated a really lovely circle of close mutuals who all adore her and we all just spend time talking about her and appreciating her. I'd rather the people making content for Feyre be people that are actually stans anyways and not out of some obligation or curiosity. Just focus on the people who really love her and ignore everyone else!
