you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

I'm watching Limited Life right now, and I'm starting to get mean gills/majorwood/scottyn. It's so deeply melancholic and tragic in a way that really appeals to me.

They're diametrically opposed in almost every way that matters. The fought against each other in in Third Life, were narrative foils in Last Life, and have conflict in Double Life because of Cleo. What's more, Martyn is the Watchers' favorite son and Scott is their greatest enemy. By all accounts they should hate each other, should be rivals in every universe, but they're just not.

They are also neither of each other's first choices for a partner (Scott's being Jimmy and Martyn's being Ren) but they choose each other anyway because Scott has to defy fate and Martyn has to have someone to be loyal to.

But in the end none of it matters, because Martyn is the conduit of the Watchers' will . He wins because he embraces the game, taps into the darkest part of himself, and does exactly what he's supposed to do. All of Scott's goodness and fairness and honor is not enough to temper that, but he also wouldn't have it any other way because Scott is cursed to love people he cannot save from their fates.

sorry for everyone who followed me expecting normal biology content. yeah sometimes there will be funny plant meme. sometimes there may also be posts about how gender can be modelled as a quantum state on the bloch sphere. sometimes there may even be photoshops of the pride and prejudice characters on the 2fast2furious bluray box art. this blog is a lawless land no niche nerdpost is safe from my funny digital artist photoshop skills and my dual wielded science degrees i should not have been trusted with

Hi Mah, I’ve noticed a lot of writers saying their fics aren’t being commented on or reblogged as much as they were before, and that it’s been discouraging. I can’t speak why for everyone but this is my story. I used to comment and reblog everything because I appreciated the hard work everyone put in. I got inspired to write a few fics of my own, hoping I would get the same support or even suggestions on ways I could improve my writing from all the writers I looked up to, but I got nothing. I spent hours and days writing, reading articles, and watching YouTube videos on how to improve your writing, but I never got one comment, like, kudos, or reblog from any of the writers I showed my support to. I started to notice people had their own little friend/support group and would reblog and comment on each other's posts or stories, but not the newer writers unless you were a phenomenal writer. If you weren’t worth their time, then you were unnoticed and not appreciated. It didn’t matter that you wrote long detailed comments on every single chapter of their story and reblogged their stories, hoping it would get more attention to help encourage them. You and one other blogger were the only ones that I got a comment from, and I ended up unfollowing everyone except for you and the other blogger. I stopped writing, deleted my stories on one of my low days, and unfollowed everyone but you and the other blogger. I stayed away from the Harry Potter community for a while. You two are the only ones I will take time out of my day to write comments for. I’ve read other stories, but I don’t comment on theirs unless it's by a new writer. I try to show encouragement and give suggestions in ways I wish I would have gotten them. I just wanted to say thanks, and I've come across some great new writers through your blog. I’ve been absent for a long time, but I’m back now. I hope things have changed and everyone is more supportive of one another. I don’t know if people are hesitant to help other writers but they take 5 minutes out of their day to read their stories and write two lines of encouragement or heck even a pm on ways you think the story could be improved, newbies will appreciate it more than you’ll ever understand. I just think if you want a little love then you need to show a little love too.

Hey, Anon. I went back and forth on how to answer this because yes, I understand it, but also... not?

I really don’t want to sound dismissive; I get it, writing takes time and effort, you put a piece of your heart there, and when people don’t seem to notice it, you take it personally. I've been there as, in a way, all who has ever posted their fan work have been. It’s shitty.

But you cannot control anyone else. If you are writing and posting because you want people to comment and engage; don’t. It will drive you mad, trust me, because there is no bar that will ever suffice. Write for your own joy... and read and review for your own joy.

If you want criticism, ask for it, send a pm to those who answer it. Join a discord. The review section in a fanfic is not the place for it, it would be just rude. And accept that sometimes there is no problem, no reason for why your fic is unnoticed; no one has ever cracked the code for what makes a fic popular, and honestly, I am glad for it. It’s cliche, but true: you are the only one who can write your stories.

Finally, I get the if you want love you need to offer some love, but also... it sounds entitled? Threatening? I am not sure. Fanfics are for free; they are supposed to be fun. When they stop being something that you can enjoy, what is the whole point?

I am sorry you didn’t feel your effort was appreciated. I hope that, despite everything else, you loved giving voice to the characters, crafting a scenario out of nowhere, and spinning words into something that was real and yours. I hope you stick around.

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing.

Yes, I did try to redraw La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John William Waterhouse with cymitri. And I had a blast doing it ^_^

With a whopping 54 hours I have officially finished my second playthrough of bg3 and I will miss Je'La every day, actually

Ended up going adventuring with Astarion, met Halsin at the reunion party and Sobbed because the emotion in his voice when you reunite with him and get to kiss n hug again is actually too real. I too am touch starved and a fan of duck facts sir thank you (HE WHITTLES YOU A LITTLE DUCK READER IM NOT ALRIGHT)

Now I did start a few different playthroughs in the past I'm just really bad at following through but this one felt really special and like. God guys I fucking love Je'La she was so fun to roleplay as and dress up like a little fashion doll because it wouldn't be my game if my characters didn't go through drastic hair changes to signify a traumatic passage of time

Anyway I'll be downloading all my screenshots and sporadically spamming them until I'm sick of spinning these characters in my head 24/7

Wait you saw both Barbie and Oppenheimer and hated Barbie ?

Yep, saw both (didn’t intend to but it worked out that way) and I mean… I wouldn’t necessarily say hate… like .. 2.75 stars.

I tried to have an open mind but I don’t like Greta Gerwig to begin with, was already put off by the Mattel aspect, and thought it was wishywashy with a kind of weird message that fell flat for me. I didn’t buy her arc emotionally, I think there was a lot of telling and not showing, and I think there were too many ideas with no real follow through. I definitely wasn’t expecting some feminist masterpiece like some were but I was disappointed that even just as a movie, it felt superficial and thrown together.

That being said, I know I’m not the intended audience though so like. A lot of the girls in the theater after the movie were crying and hugging and I thought that was cute. Also the friend I saw it with LOVED it and I like seeing my friends happy.

As far as Oppenheimer goes- I understand a lot of the critiques, very much agree with some, disagree with others, but I sincerely thought it was an excellent film on a technical level as well as emotional. I tend to gravitate towards war movies (especially anti-war movies, especially Cold War movies) as well so that’s probably also part of why I thought it was good. Plus I think putting out such a high profile and relatively (for Hollywood at least) nuanced take on communism and anti-communism and the intersection of that with science and global politics in this current political climate was an interesting move. Wouldn’t say it’s revolutionary in the slightest but it certainly wasn’t what I was expecting.
