[beardisable]

copying/expanding this from my discord messages bc I thought it was funny

Just remembered there's in universe like dissertations on the dynamics of the necromancer cavalier relationship(I mean of course there are) and its portrayal in media I'm just thinking about wtf Gideon would feel after realizing she was put into the literal trope of "arranged marriage with the shitty royalty of your kingdom but learning to know them and eventually fall in love" trope 💀 I guess its possible their universe doesn't have that trope at all, even tho the roles of like prince and princess exist… They implicate there's still like ruling families and leaders so would make sense if there was Kiriona realizes that part of her life has played out like the summarized comic adaptation of a trashy illegal romance novel heavily based on the lives of ianthes like fucking grandparents and goes to stab her in her sleep for the third time

🪷 girl fuck these people I'm really sorry you're getting so many messages bitching about no smut in ch10. Like who even cares? Does a story or chapter have no value if the characters aren't going at it like rabbits and fucking and sucking on each other?

At this point if you're so disappointed about no hanky panky just go read one of those pornhwas where the characters start screwing at the drop of a hat.

I would've loved that chapter with smut or without smut idgaf it doesn't even matter to me (and the same is for most of your readers too, I'm sure of it). We've all stuck around with your work for so long, and we have faith in your direction as well as your decisions regarding the pace of the plot. It's never that serious, especially not to the stage that bozos feel the need to weep in a writer's asks and swamp them with negative messages. Go jack off or play dj with your hello kitty and go to sleep like the rest of us.

Again, no matter what you do with your work it's entirely your choice. Ofc we as readers can have our own takes and how or why we interact with the work can vary, but it shouldn't reach this stage. I've seen this same story of bullying and pestering authors on tumblr too many times with other authors whose work I enjoy, and many have left their blogs because the harassment made them lose interest in writing and sharing their pieces. It's fucking heartbreaking. Pornhub dot com is right there for y'all to be doing entirely too much in the asks of these writers who are already overwhelmed and write and share all this FOR FREE. If you have so many qualms about it pick up that bic and get to writing bitch!

I'm sorry babe take care! We love you🫂

AHHH LILYPAD ANON I APPRECIATE U SM THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME 😭😭 you’re always so kind to me i sobs

yeahh sigh :( i was just a bit upset that ppl were already finding fault w a chapter i haven’t even released yet just bc it doesn’t have smut in it 😭😭 like i obviously know by now that i can’t make everyone happy, but it’s not right to subtly pressure me into a certain direction for my story (ik this is a normal thing authors/writers have to deal with, i am just a weakling unfortunately 💀💀 my therapist wld agree)

i know it’s not most of my readers though :”) everyone is so sweet n kind n patient, i just don’t understand the some few that think that just bc they tell me they’re disappointed there’s no smut, that i’m somehow gonna go back to my 80pg dissertation of a chapter n make it 100pgs just to add some for them 😅…like no. what it DOES make me feel is icky n sad

frankly it’s really uncomfortable to make an author feel bad that there’s no explicit sexual content in a story 😅 your horny brainrot is showing. like, i AM def planning to write smut in kickoff, there will be multiple smut scenes to come. but even if i suddenly chose not to include them anymore, that’s my right to do so.

and yes, if they want smut, they can write it themselves. why do i need to be the one to write it for you? i don’t owe anyone anything.

i totally agree w you. honestly, i feel bad sometimes setting these boundaries, but you’re SO RIGHT in that SO many authors leave their platforms bc of hateful asks/pressuring comments etc, i’ve seen it time n time again. bc it’s true that it DOES get to people, especially when creating art is already a very stressful thing. i don’t have to passively tolerate rude strangers on the internet just because i’m trying to protect n pursue my passion

thanks sm for trusting my direction :”) and YES absolutely!! i love it when my readers disagree w character actions or emotions, bc characters have flaws n i’m intentional about those flaws, so it’s exciting to see opinions my readers have, even if they’re in disagreement, because it’s interactive w my work. not that i expect anyone to interact ever. i understand that i post on my own accord, so readers can choose whether to interact on their accord as well.

but something about pressuring me into writing explicit sexual content into a story that i’d like to think is a lot more than just smut, is really disheartening.

reading all of your dissertations about what happens in the archie sonic comics was like 12 consecutive whacks to the face. ken penders sure is a guy who exists on the planet earth.

however i must say. saying that knuckles was microwaved as a baby to describe him being exposed to the radiation is funny. but not entirely accurate.

see, he wasn’t just microwaved. locke fucking MICROWAVE BAPTISED his infant son into becoming jesus

yeah for the most part 💀 never heard it compared to baptism before but i guess it can be interpreted that way? idk enough about baptism to provide much more insight lol

list 5 topics you can talk about for an hour without prepping any material

bishops castle and jim bishop himself. oh my god that man and his castle are batshit insane and i never get tired of it. i love visiting that safety hazard and insane old man

literally any cult ever. my god they are all so fascinating and wild and horrific.

my favorite band ever, asking alexandria. i can give you a dissertation about each album and what the fuck was going on during that time and what the songs mean (except dennis' album. sorry, nothing against you, I just fell outta the loop around that time just like danny 💀) ive been a fan since their first official album and even have a copy of their first unofficial (15 years n counting babeyyyy)

sims lore. oh my god there's so much. have you heard about our Lord and savior bella goth???? or how the sims 4 is an alternate timeline thanks to her son alexander?????

mythology and religion. oh my god i will not shut the fuck up. greek, roman, christian mythology, you name it - i know it. i know the different ways they connect and the similarities they draw and how they impacted society, etc. (tho Christianity could probably also tie in with cult)

I had to stop myself from going on tangents ope. now you have my top 5 hyperfixations lmfao

Okokok I’ve been. Holding this in because I wanted to be the bigger person lol, but I have to say it. The League of Extraordinary Gentlefolk comic is the worst possible way to revamp LXG or sell it to the gothic fiction fandom. Like if you want to make an LXG AU of your own that’s fine and if you want to make it because you don’t like the comics/movie that’s also fine, and as much as the project itself looks. Extremely mid at best to me. I am angry because 1) the people behind it spread rumors about me and got half of the fandom to block me over a willful misunderstanding (plus I suspect they might have been stalking my blog lol some of these guys are way older than me) and 2) they’re being fucking weird about Moore and O’Neill (rest in peace king) and acting like their fanon-poisoned hateboner fueled AU with mid art and lackluster writing is better than a professional comic. 💀 okay

anyway rational dissertation over time to get to the silly complains. Why the fuck is their version of the League like only 30% Extraordinary why are there so many Normal People in it why are half of the characters lawyers. Like in the og comics and movie the joining criteria was to either have powers or be The Absolute Best at what you do, so why the fuck is Dr. Seward in the League. Arthur Holmwood is the OPPOSITE of extraordinary his personality is Rich. What is Utterson doing there. He’s going to suffer. Godfrey Fucking Norton. The guy from the beetle that gets mind-raped. Do they want them to die in battle????? Bruh that’s not the League like as a stand-alone story it’s interesting but that’s not the League I don’t see these people responding to a Martian invasion or fighting the antichrist. Or doing anything super-heroey.

anyway self fulfilled prophecy or whatever I am their number one petty hater now hashtag ghoulboss I’m glad most of them and their friends have me blocked because they have legit mob mentality and they are failing to understand the piece of media they’re ripping off- I mean riffing off from. just like they accuse Moore of doing lmao

[briliantlymad]

I've fucked up beloveds. My procrastination has led me to a slightly shit situation with my dissertation. I've got the topic down. But my research question doesn't have the pizzazz. No va va voom. It's boring. I can't give a boring dissertation I'll get a B at most 💀💀💀

I gotta do the lit review. And I only have one article. I need at least 1 more for it to be good 💀💀💀

[sinsiriuslyemo]

So... this was my day:

6am: *wakes up and checks twitter/helps kiddo get ready*

7:15am: *gets home from taking kiddo to school* "I'm gonna finish that Drexyl fic today! 😈"

10am: *gets halfway through, takes a nap*

11am: *wakes up and scrolls through twitter while I eat*

"Damn it authortwitter, can we please have ONE month off?"

12pm: *switches to tumblr cause twitter is annoying lately*

12:30pm: *watches a youtube reaction video of Homeward Bound*

1pm: *does a load of laundry*

2pm: *goes with hubs to pick up kiddo from school*

2:15pm: *goes grocery shopping with the fam*

3:45pm: *gets home, puts groceries away and scrolls twitter again*

"Now there's fucking agents acting wild, too? Bro, what happens in this timeline?"

5pm: "Okay, I'm gonna go get dinner, find a youtube video to watch and then finish up with Drexyl after I eat 😈"

7pm: *opens youtube and sees a 6 hour video dissertation about 8Passengers, but it's from Cruel World Happy Mind*

"... I'm sorry Drexyl, but I have to watch this."

Seriously, such a well put together, factual doc that as always is led with empathy for the victims involved and did not exploit the situation in my opinion. I know six hours is a committment, and it is a committment, I literally just did it 💀 but bro, it gives you a complete break down of a distinct pattern that is an example of the absolutely worst thing that can happen with a family vlog channel. I'm not saying that all family vlog channels are bad, but I think a conversation worth continuing is should influencers that categorize themselves as being a family channel (or insta or whatever) be held to the same standard as kids who work outside the home (like, for example child actors, models, artists hell even little siblings of artists and actors, etc)? Is it exploitation for parents to constantly vlog about their lives and heavily feature their kids?

Last night I watched a different video essay by Shanspeare called Using Kids for Clout: The Downfall of Familt Channels and while none of the others that I've heard of are nearly as horrific as 8P (at least as far as we know) it's still worth asking, where's the limit with these forms of income as far as the kids are concerned and when is it considered labor?

Both of these are definitely worth a watch. Those two creators are pretty fucking awesome too, you shoukd check out their other content. So... anyway, how was ya'll's day?

[platinum-iridium]

Now that you’re done what’s your favorite era of L&O? Seasons one to 11 will always be classics imo but on my first watch the first 3 seasons weee my faves but now it’s the Rey seasons. I know he’s unpopular and he’s definitely a loser who I don’t care for but his and Lenny’s dynamic was excellent and the cases were mostly nuanced and well written. I also liked Claire a lot at that time it was like she was coming into her own. The Abbey seasons aren’t bad either. After that it’s mid. Or maybe Serena’s wishy washiness just makes me forget everything gets blurry around her time and after lol

it might be recency bias but the last 3 seasons of original law and order have some of my favorite episodes. i like connie a lot especially after jack gets promoted bc with him she was a very pretty lamp but then she gets to actually come into her own with mike. and i also really like lupo lol. he's really quiet and broody but he's also kinda awkward and goofy and that combo just does it for me. and him and bernard make a good pair. not my fave cop pair but a solid one and a very beloved da pair. it's a real shame because the final seasons are better than the ~5 or 6 preceding seasons so a lot of people never make it that far.

a very close second is the first 3 seasons. it also has some favorite episodes i love ben stone and paul robinette. i love ben so much as a character. i do think that robinette is really understated but his later episodes add a richness to his character and make his time as a DA deeper. and of course adam schiff. i like mike logan and greevey together. not a cerretta fan. and of course briscoe joins in season 3. i think his first season isn't his best bc they hadn't quite settled on his characterization but a classic character nonetheless.

the serena seasons dragged so bad. fucking terrible. and there's so many of them. i liked the abby seasons. she pissed me off but she was still generally a good character. could have been better, but entertaining. i liked claire and jamie a lot too. will not be wading into the emotional minefield of claire lowkey having a coming of age in that fckn episode just to die. i realized i like the DAs way more than the cops. like i rocked with lennie the same way you rock with the old dudes in your office just bc they're there even though they aint shit and you wouldn't interact outside of the job setting. rey was mostly a good guy but then he cheated on his wife lmao. like yes it was a crazy day but like go home to your family my guy. i mean clearly dick wolf has a cynical ass view of marriage lol like we couldn't even have the one good guy. he was SO self righteous but it did make for a good contrast with briscoe. i liked green a lot but i wish they had let the black characters be black characters and not just characters who happened to be black. robinette got better treatment in his guest appearances. but van buren and green ... like the storylines were kinda there esp with van buren's suit against the nypd but it seemed like the writers hearts weren't really in it for any of her storylines. and their final scene together kind of alluded to it but again the writers aint wanna commit. they kinda try harder in the new law and order but it's ... meh. anyway i could quite literally write a dissertation on the characters but i think this is enough 💀

thanks for giving me another excuse to write a l&o manifesto

[complicitsacrilege]

1, 2, 3, 7, 16 for the ask game. Armand 👀

Thanks so much for the ask!!!

Going only on the book canon bc honestly the writing of S2 just killed show Armand (and honestly the rest of the show after season 1) for me.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character? I love Armand because he’s the character I related to the most growing up. I cannot tell you how many times I read TVA. Lestat was a close second but TVA is how I processed my own trauma (along with a few other books). I love most of the vampire chronicles characters and picking between Armand and Lestat for my favorite is like picking a favorite child but Armand comes out on top by just a bit. Armand was the first character I ever read about that has trauma similar to my own, and that was the first time I felt fully seen in any character. Others like Lestat definitely also did make me feel that way in a sense, but Armand hit a bit closer to home for me.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character? He’s a survivor. Come hell or high water, he’s going to figure out how to survive whatever shit is going on. He may not make good decisions, but he’s got the spirit anyway.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character? The whole Denis situation 💀 don’t like that.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like? Oof the way the fandom makes him this waifish little baby twink with no agency. DUDE WAS A WHOLE ENTIRE CULT LEADER FOR 200 YEARS. HE ALSO CHOPPED DOWN A DOOR FOR SOME DICK. — And of course he has committed atrocities and LIKED it. He didn’t necessarily choose the cult life but he stayed in it long after he needed to. Not only that, but he’s spent 500 years either surviving traumas beyond what most people can even imagine or struggling to learn how to be a person. He has MAYBE 20 good years before he meets Daniel (don’t even get me started on Devil’s Minion I could write a whole dissertation). The years he spent with his family (as far as we know), and the years he spent with Marius. He’s scrappy, he enjoys murder (he literally states this on a few different occasions - notably in the PL trilogy, in which he quite enjoys killing rogue fledglings because it’s fun), he tortures others, BUT he doesn’t know how to be a person. That is at the crux of his character. That’s his entire motive for everything. He has no fucking clue how to just be a person. He’s a cult leader, he’s a devotee in a monastery, he’s a student, he’s this, that, the other thing. He doesn’t know how to just be. So, he commits atrocities because what else is there to do? 🤷

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character? I am 100% and Armand, Daniel, Marius truther after BC. I love the trio so much and feel like they’d balance each other so well, but alas, Anne seems to have forgotten Daniel’s existence by the end 🥹

[selfcarecap]

No, I think you are right! I definitely need to take the risk to find out. And I feel like even if I get rejected, I won't really be hurt/ I'm not attached enough for it to be a problem I can't get over quickly. Not to mention, I feel super chill, so if it becomes awkward at future sportsball, it is gonna be his fault! Enough about boys though... I woke up super early this morning, so I made a really nice breakfast and some hot cocoa. Anything interesting with you? - The Friends Anon

Yess exactly! you should 😌 and ahh love that!! I’m slowly starting to understand why people like breakfast shsjshs i didn’t eat breakfast the first 19 1/2 years of my life but lately i get it (well mainly because i always have uni 12-4 with no break that’s long enough for lunch so i will literally fuck up my life if i don’t eat breakfast shsjs) maybe you could make me some tomorrow too 👀🫶🏼🩷 and i’ll make (buy) us dinner 😌

Nothing interesting with me I guess but I’m currently trying to find a professor to do my bachelor thesis/dissertation (no one here knows what it’s properly called even tho i’m studying english 💀🙃 but ig the name doesn’t matter lol) and it’s going.. semi well sgskshsh but I already have a plan b and plan a still might work out i just have to be patient lol

[prttyvirgo]

calling me handsome at this time? 🤭 making me blush right now

isn’t it your last semester? like last last one? I can imagine it’s stressful but you’re doing great. You always do ♥️ don’t forget to rest because uni isn’t everything lmao I see people with no degrees making more money than I’ll ever have so…. at this point i don’t even care that much

please!!! you spamming me was the best part of my day, it used to make me the happiest man alive just to be there for you at the end of the day 🥹 i love your crazy thoughts, there’s so many of them 😂 in so many directions it’s fucking adorable. I was always looking forward to hear you sweet baby

thank for always wishing the best and still seeing the kindness in me, it really means the world.. your opinion of me is really important to me and i hope you know i’d still try my best to be the kind and emotional man you used to know 🥹

sounds like a busy day, I love the two hour nap 😂 sounds like you ngl. How was ramadan? everything alright? you know what i’ve been studying a little bit more about your religion, i felt really dumb with some of the questions I made 💀

my day was ok, I’ve been off work to do my dissertation so that’s good but i’m not doing anything anyway, still trying my best and I know I’ll do just fine. So I did some uni work, went to a cute coffee shop, had shower, came home to watch stranger things like usual and yeah…. that was it baby, thanks for asking ♥️

-💌

you know i gotta make sure to make you blush at least once every few days and remind you that you are one handsome fucker so 😌

and no, unfortunately it's not my last senester but tbh it's been going well and isn't as stressful as it used to be bc i think ive become like you in that way since i dont care about it as much since it's like...not that big of a deal 💀 if it works out it works out and if not then so be it tbh so absolutely no worries when it comes to that, my sweetest love

and please you always make me so soft 🥺 i really appreciate you being so excited about my spams, makes me really really happy and of course i know you're always trying your best. i just hope you know it's okay to not always give your best since your best is sometimes 10% and sometimes 129% so you're good either way bc you gave it a try and thats what matters 🥺

ramadan was really good this year, it was like the first proper ramadan without any covid regulations and bla bla so everything was how it used to be pre-covid and honestly i never minded your questions bc 1) i'm used to it and 2) it was/is just nice to see that you were/are interested in it 🥰

im glad you're taking some time off of work even if it's just a day since i know you, sir, like to overwork yourself so a win is a win. and i hope the dissertation is going well and you're trying your best not to lose your mind over it but i know you've got this 🤍

your day sounds lovely and i'm so proud of you for resting and taking some time to yourself, you deserve it so much 🥺 thank you for answering

[saraa-lancee]

Bro just respond or tag me next time 🫣 how embarrassing. The fact that you cannot comprehend there might be some nuance to this situation and immediately took my comments in extreme bath faith... but I guess this is Tumblr. I said something and you literally put whole ass sentiments in my mouth I never said while completely missing the point of what the tag was saying.

I'm not saying dude hasn't done questionable things/is perfect but calling him a "pet incel" when one of like. *the* biggest talking points for incels is violence-- rape, sexual ensalvement, and murder of women. Incels actively *degrade* women as fuck holes (sometimes you can even get them to admit women might be "useful incubators"!!) and toys. 30 minutes in their website and you (should) feel ill with their rhetoric of deep hatred and fantasy for violence against women. We're talking so far as fucking necrophilia. It is bad. It is fucking vile.-- someone who is weird is absolutely not a fucking incel you walnuthead. Tossing around the label of such a dangerous ideology is *bad*. I'm sorry you don't agree, but it's an important distinction, especially to people who are perceived as Dangerous just because they're Wierd.

Creep? Sure whatever. "Pet" and "incel"? Yeah, not quite.

Was he normal? No. Was that situation okay? absolutely not. He crossed a boundary. Can I tell you something you might not like? Autistic aren't UWU perfect babies. Many, MANY autistics (based on personal experience, many times men) will do that exact thing 💀 like. This Boundary thing is a pretty well known Issue for autistic people. (I think it might be in the diagnostic criteria, but either way-- its an incredibly common discussion). It would take you five seconds (or maybe a conversation with three people irl) to find a few anecdotes about grown autistic adults lacking the understanding of boundaries to the point where they will grab people, leave notes in people's work lockers, veritable shrines to crushes or obessions etc. Autism doesn't *cause* this, and this type of thing happens in a multitude of other mental disabilities and disorders, so maybe "autistic coded" wasn't the perfect word, but as an autistic person, I've always felt for the guy being shunned and made fun of by everyone. Autism *could* cause his inability to understand boundaries and complex human relationships, which is why I say it that way. And unless I am forgetting something, never once in that episode does he talk about a plot to rape his coworkers, or hurt them. *that* is what in incel is. People who cross those boundaries as an autistic (typically) are not acting with the intent to harm or any ill will. Calling anyone an Incel is assuming some of the most extreme ill will that it is possible to conceive.

these wierd things don't make him an incel. Incel is a specific ideology geared towards explicit violence towards women. The fact that you don't know the difference tells me you may have some more reading to do-- learn the things Incels actually think before tossing that word around.

He does weird things. But he is definitely outcast for them (and constantly treated like shit, including by Fandom) for literally so much as his *demeanor*. This feels like one of those attacks, OP. Lol pet incel-- aka guy who gives me a weird vibe appears in this episode and plays a role 💀 he (hypothetically, of course) exists as a whole ass person. He is, to an extent, a main character. I'm sorry a Character Arrived.

Sorry I didn't write a motherfucking dissertation in my tags but actually insisting a character who everyone earmarks as "Do Not Touch-- Wierdo" is an incel (and that Gene Roddenberry and other writers and showrunners would *ever* espouse that ideology) is wild. Again-- incel is an ideology with extreme violence (both sexual and not) at its core.

Barclay, like probably every other Star Trek Character in existence, is a commentary and representation-- I'm sorry that that thought was too difficult for you. It's easier to label wierd people as Incels rather than use some critical thought (including about the situation/episode you mention. There are a few great analysis blogs about that-- its quite interesting. I might suggest googling a few, but again, cant make you do anything) about the things they do and what the narrative is trying to show.

I hate to break it to you, but mental illness and disability is rarely comfortable and easy. People with various disabilities (like Autism) or illnesses *will* do things you do not like. This does not make them evil, woman haters with a secret desire to rape and murder people. Assuming the worst is definitely a choice you can make, but I've been in this fandom for 10+ years and I'm fucking sick and tired of the ostracization of characters like Barclay. We could have a real conversation about the character or you could call him an incel and respond like *that* when I suggest there might be some nuance. 🤷 whichever man. As an autistic person, I won't respond to you being nasty after this.

star trek writers are always trying to fit their pet incel into the story why's barclay the bus driver all of a sudden

[ssuckitlosers]

cannot quite believe that it’s 2:40am because I was fully expecting to go to sleep before midnight because I was tired af all day…

But apparently writing far too many words about a PrUK fic idea, will not only keep me awake, but make me lose track of time entirely.
