#that shit ain’t fun

[mxtxfanatic]

Just for the record, I actually don’t hate any mdzs character. Mxtx’s stories are so well-crafted that I love the roles that every character plays. I love the chills and digust that Jin Guangyao inspires in me. I loved the hatred that Xue Yang causes to flare up in me when I reread the Yi City arc. I love the amusement I get every time Jiang Cheng lives up to his failed-hero role, doubly so when I remember that he is also a failed-villain because Xue Yang is actually the better version of him lmao. I love dissecting Nie Mingjue’s hypocrisy in what it means when Wei Wuxian thinks of him as an “upholder of morality.” I love the pity that I feel for Lan Xichen such that I struggle to commit to how I view him just like how he struggles with how to view those he loves. And the complexity and diversity of each character’s life experiences and autonomous choices is the icing on the cake that makes fans’ (me included) obsessions over them wholly understandable.

What I hate is feeling coerced into liking a character how fandom wants me to like them, especially if the “evidence” supporting liking said character is just popular fanon that the fandom has taken as gospel truth. The more I feel pressured into ignoring a character’s canon personality to adopt a fanfic version of them whose only similarity is that they share a name, the harsher I want to be with my critique of them. Don’t give me morally righteous!Nie Mingjue who totally would’ve defended the Wen and I won’t give you hypocrite!Nie Mingjue who deserved to be cut into pieces, just not by the person who did it. Don’t give me best brother, best jiujiu!Jiang Cheng and I won’t give you pathetic manbaby!Jiang Cheng who deserved to have Wei Wuxian’s golden core removed from him the hard way for his ungratefulness and for his sister to come back to life to bitch slap him for how he treats her son. Don’t give me best bro wangxian shipper!Lan Xichen and I won’t give you morally weak!Lan Xichen who deserved every bit of the psychological torture Nie Huaisang put him through for his inability to truly stand by any of his brothers, biological or sworn.

Don’t give me some “everyone is secretly good with no flaws” bullshit and I won’t feel the need to balance it out by listing every single one of their sins and nailing it to the door like Martin Luther. I like these characters. Don’t turn me into a hater, cause if you think I’m mean now? Lol

[abbyshands]

i’m so sick of this fandom i swear why are y’all NEVER PLEASED WITH ANYTHING BROOO who actually fucking cares about the abundance of smut. who cares if someone indulges in a headcanon that wouldn’t exist in the actual game. who cares if people are shipping ellabs. WHO CARES ABOUT THE OVERUSE OF STRAP-ONS IN FICS BRO. how much fucking time do you have to be complaining about this mundane shit. i am literally begging y’all to merely take pleasure in the FREE CONTENT y’all are receiving and kindly stop shitting on a community of people who put their TIME and EFFORT into their work. now, if a piece is wrong—morally, legally, etc, that’s different, and to be honest, that’s where our focus should be. but are you really getting on people’s lives for putting what THEY like into a fic? idk when this turned into a discourse and not a place to just have fun. jfc.

I’m still in love with the idea that local zombie Michael Afton is the biggest denier ghosts exist. There’s only room in this town for one supernatural entity and it’s him

[ghost-bxrd]

Wait in Antithesis of Magic do the bats worry that Red Hood is using his position as a drug lord to give Mockingjay access to drugs? Maybe using them as a bribe to get the kid to do what he wants? Do they look at his rules about kids and sex workers and think it is his way of calling dibs?

It’s definitely one of the darker possibilities they’re entertaining, yes. And not a very far fetched one if we look at it from their point of view.

A probably middle aged crime and drug lord upstart with one of Joker’s old aliases with a strange obbeession with trafficking and sex working laws and a seemingly deeply traumatized kid flocking to him with a concerning amount of devotion?? Yeah, not looking too good…

i haven’t reeeeally started writing anything other than planning this out broadly because it’s very plot heavy but got a little lost thinkin about the intimacy of shaving the other day so this is from x files au in some shitty shared motel room while they’re cryptid hunting or chasing aliens idk we’ll figure it out

When he emerges, hair towelled dry and in clean clothes, Eddie frowns at him. “What?” he asks. “Promise I didn’t finish all the hot water.” “No, you just look—” Eddie gestures at Buck’s face, “—scruffier than usual.” “Oh,” Buck says, running a hand over his day-four stubble. “I forgot my razor.” “Oh,” Eddie’s face clears, “just use mine.” Buck swallows. “Um. Okay. Thanks.” Eddie nods at him and goes back to squinting at his phone, so Buck about-faces and re-enters the bathroom. It’s not a big deal, he tells himself as he foams up his face. It’s like—like sharing a hairbrush. Intimate, sure, not something you’d tend to do with people you don’t know well, but it’s not a big deal.  He wets the razor and brings it to his throat, heart hammering there so violently it feels like his Adam’s apple is trying to get out. If his hand doesn’t stop trembling he’s going to nick himself, and God, he is being absolutely fucking ridiculous. Deep breath. The razor glides over the thin skin of his throat, muscle memory even as he stares at himself in the mirror. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this every morning, using this very razor. Blade edge kissing his jaw the same way it kisses Eddie’s. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this for him, hand holding his chin as he shaves Buck carefully, grip firm when he turns Buck’s face this way and that. Doesn’t think about Eddie kissing where the blade kissed him first.  Doesn’t think about any of that when he rinses the razor clean and slots it back into the travel mug, where Buck’s toothbrush rests against Eddie’s with such easy familiarity it’s about to spark a whole new crisis.

I’m salty about this for multiple reasons.

1. Because I don’t think everybody should be screaming at Mal. They were getting overrun by the Ancients. Maybe his plan wasn’t exactly well thought out, but it worked and everyone is fine.

2. Mal apologizes to Nia immediately, yet MC still hasn’t gotten one for his comments to her? Maybe it’s just me that feels this way, but I think that’s honestly what I need to start fully enjoying his route again. We’ve had some nice moments with him, but they all ultimately still feel hollow to me because there’s been no acknowledgement of whatever underlying resentment he obviously feels towards MC and none of how her suffering being diminished and ignored made her feel either

I did @skumhuu’s coloring page! Yes I know I’m months late but- it’s fine

I did it anyway

Which character you DESPISE. Like, you would pull up a fight with them and you believe you could win the fight due to how much HATE you have towards them. And why?

Also, what's your favorite scene? Elaborate it.

you’re evil for this question

ok so there’s to answers to this, there’s a character from the main 6 and a character who’s not

the characters who’s not is aiden’s mom. i hate that bitch (i more so hate the version of her in my head, but also hate her canon versionas well)

the main thing that made me hate her is her asking “adequate reason” TO BELIEVE HER OWN FUCKING SON AND HIS FRIENDS???? LIKE SOME PARENT YOU ARE. LIKE LOOK AT ALL OF THEIR FUCKING EYEBAGS AND TELL ME THESE KIDS ARE OK. anyways. i digress (and even though she’s a middle aged woman and i’m a teenager, i could beat her ass it a fight)

and for the one from the main six, i don’t despise him because i don’t any of them, but i like logan the least. it’s not anything personally really, he’s just the least likable out of all them to me🤷‍♀️

ok and now for my favorite scene is any taylyn scene!!, no im joking but uh my favorite scene/episode is fast pass so so for an alternative i’d say i like the scene where ashlyn gets attacked by the phantom (and technically the current episode that’s out isn’t the reason i like it😭 like bin, all of my favorite scenes are fast pass man)

i like that scene because i like constant carrotop torture (im joking she’s literally my second favorite character…)

but i like i can’t even say why i like that scene without spoiling fastpass (and even if fastpass was out i wouldn’t be able to put it into words)

but uh i do like the fact that like gears are turning in her head and she’s figuring shit out and like you just know, she about to beat these “scientists” ass like you already know!!!!!

[what-the-fuck-khr]

finally after a whole year, starting at Giotto and ending with Bel and Rasiel, we’ve now celebrated the birthdays of every KHR character who had one shared with us by Amano! here’s a time-lapse of me editing every single one, which overall amounted up to 3 hours and 42 minutes, and 65 characters! all compacted into a 5 minute video! thank you for celebrating their birthdays with me! 💛

[laniidae-passerine]

I’m finding that the laziest moments of Doctor Who’s writing are the ‘retroactive twists’ - when the show runner reveals something happened way back over there, in the past, before they were even running the show. And we swear it happened, way over there, far back, and you didn’t see it because of reasons but it’s definitely been happening! And it totally makes sense and I absolutely didn’t just pull it out my ass to justify my paper thin plotline! All this kind of writing does is make me miss self contained season length plots. We’ve had people complaining that Moffat was guilty of the “this thing is big and scary and it’s going to happen, oh god it’s showing up, we’re going to discover what it truly is….. next season!!!!!!” plotline (and yes. he was. twelve is my fav doctor but yeah Moffat loved a mysterious horse and a big stick) but now suddenly when RTD gets out his own mysterious horse and a big stick, it’s got to be genius! everything is eventually going to make sense! and we’re absolutely not being had by a man who used to be able to write this show and is now a hack!

[usedtobemygirl]

some people who hate taylor swift are so weird, ive seen so many people post her lyrics out of context or say they “hate” her new record, but why are you posting lyrics from like … track 23 if you hate her so much? what you doing even getting that far girlie? 😭 someone doth protest too much I think

[rejectshumanity]

i’m going to have to extend my hiatus into january. for the past few weeks i’ve been getting shooting pain in my wrists and arms from computer use, and being on my phone is aggravating it too. i’m pretty sure it’s tendinitis 😔 i was hoping my week off from work would be enough to cure it, but the pain flares up easily, and i’m really concerned this will become chronic if i don’t take it seriously and rest.

i hope y’all have a lovely new year, and with any luck i’ll be back sooner rather than later 💖
