Kind of a little bit 🤏🏼 repulsed by the yacht. Like private jet I guess I can rationalize (gross). weekly plane travel for the job…it serves a need and is probably economical for him in the long run. But a yacht serves no purpose but to be a massive lawn ornament. It is solely a status symbol and a physical reminder of obscene and frankly unnecessary wealth. Sure, it’s his money and he earned it so he can spend it how he wants. Doesn’t change that it’s ostentatious as hell.

In reference to ISOK, were most tiercels cobs before being Chosen? From your writings I think at least most have been referred to as he, is there a reason among harpies for this or do you just prefer writing for the gays? Also no offense by that I'm a big ol' lesbian, I just suck with words lol also your works rock, keep it up 😎

Yay thank you 🧡

On a worldbuilding front: kings can pick cobs or pens as tiercels but they can also have preferences (not considered 'sexualities' as you'd think of them, as tiercels are a fourth gender and kings still fuck regular cobs and pens so a king who only liked cobs and ex-cob tiercels would still be 'bisexual' lol), Thunder Strike preferred cobs and Cuinn was using him as a model for proper king behaviour even though he hated him, and would have given anything to BE Thunder Strike. Cuinn was always written to be an extremely heavy handed trans metaphor ofc

On the out-of-universe front, it's actually an interesting question about audience & intent (writing for the gays etc). When I wrote this story I had no intention of sharing it so I wasn't writing for anyone but myself and i am a homosexual man. Same can be said for everything else I've written - I was the only intended audience and even now when I know other ppl will read what I am writing I turn away from the idea of representation for its own sake and just write what I want to read

i dont know what the plan is now, i have never had a plan for anything, but i dont want to delete the previous posts bc it feels like im trying to sweep things under the rug or act like they didnt happen

icl i would be at least a little happy with almost any ending for stranger things but one thing that would ruin all of it would be an epilogue (of a decade or more later)

Me when looking for neurodivergent representation in fiction:

Also me when I come across "all neurodivergent people do X" posts/videos/etc.:

When I tell you, this shit is infuriating...

TIL that ノンケ (nonke) is a colloquial word for a heterosexual person.

After all the numerous Japanese BL/QL shows that I have watched, I couldn't believe that it was the first time I encountered this word. And damn it was used so aptly in Ayaka chan wa Hiroko senpai ni koishiteru that I burst out laughing everytime she said it. I am already in love with Hiroko senpai.

Not only do we get a lesbian who is fully integrated into the LGBTQ+ community along with various styles and representation of the community but we also get a semi-masc FL who is just *chef's kiss*

Given that Belphegor, the sin of sloth, is making(or at least approving the making of) Stolas' prescribed brand of antidepressants I'm disappointed that they just seem like regular meds. Like since a sin is approving this stuff, it could've resulted in medications that fuck you up instead of really treating the actual issue.

Maybe antidepressants that treat depression by either killing your emotions completely so you have no strong feelings on anything(sort of like a temporary lobotomy) or sedating you so hard you could have surgery done on you and not notice. Since it's hell you could get away with medications not really working the way they should to make the world feel more alien. Instead it's regular, apparently perfectly functional, antidepressants that just so happen to have the stamp of the approval of a deadly sin. It fits with the sloth ring's general medical theme,but that's the best thing the little antidepressant label nod to Belphegor has going for it for me.

Then again,the incorporation of sins into the feel of the rings and what those rings do has never felt particularly strong. Despite being leaders, it feels like they could disappear tomorrow and their absence wouldn't do much.

Like what would happen to the lust ring if Asmodeus pulled a Lucifer and just stopped ruling for a bit? The residents would probably keep going just the same. It doesn't feel like the lust ring is the way it is because of Asmodeus. It feels like it just so happens to contain Asmodeus,y'know?

Admittedly in the grand scheme of things,this isn't a big deal at all. There are much weirder writing choices that could dwarf this teensy tiny detail easily. I just find it boring how when there's an opportunity to shift away from hell being like a generic U.S.-esque setting with a red coat of paint to something more fantastical and alien, it just commits to being our world with a red coat of paint

Ok yes America hating the cold is funny (eh) BUT. have you considered that I like the imagery of an America sitting alone in the forest in the bleak mid-winter landscape of an east coast woods, all alone in both body and mind, agonizing over her seeming doom to be stuck in the throes of loneliness for all eternity?

god I hope the new 0MFD, G**d Omens, and WWD1TS seasons don't come out all at once (censoring to avoid the tags)

I'll not see a single female character on my dash for a month straight

you ever scroll past some sort of discourse that you didn't even know existed, and you have to take a second and realize that, while none of us are superior to others, some of us ARE much better at choosing which dumbass hills to die on? because I think sometimes you deserve to go 'huh. at least I'm not getting involved in all that'.

important little side notes:

[calico-kiwi]

sometimes dreams are insightful. like the time i had a dream where i fell asleep on the shoulder of my former best friend and realized it was because i missed hugging her.

sometimes they’re stupid though and mean absolutely nothing. like the one i just had about a weird marionette doll and her frankenstein like husband having to flee their adams family style house to some random italian countryside to escape the police while trying to figure out how to be parents to their newborn child
