I think that this is actually where the fan service for this season comes in. Everyone and their mother chose Klaus as their favorite characters, so everyone else gets sidelined for Klaus' storyarc which was brought directly from the comics since a lot of people complained about his powers being nerfed in the show. No one really gave a shit about Viktor except for the small minority of us that have him as our favorite character instead. This is why Allison, Luther, and Diego are also almost completely ignored this season. Viktor's arc is important enough that he was able to overcome the obsession with Five and Klaus for fanservice points, but not enough for his character to be utilized properly.

I think the most disappointing part of Season 4 is how Viktor’s character was wasted. He was the most important sibling for the first two seasons and the story revolved around him. And even in season 3 he’s still a major character with his transition and everything with Harlan. But then in season four he maybe has one big scene? Where he goes off on dear old dad.

For the rest of the season he really just goes along with everything and it’s a real shame. He was my favorite character and they just threw all his development and importance out the window to focus on Klaus’s whole thing and Fivela.

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

I am all against the "social" social media (that's why I almost esclusively used tumblr) but I think TikTok should have existed in 2009 to make very shirt aesthetic edit of Jenson Button at Brawn being sad during the entire second half of the season + montage of various people Luca di Montezemolo saying he's not world champion material/he doesn't have that one extra bit with the audio "There's really no way of winning/ If in their eyes you'll always be a dumb blonde"

my mother was genuinely trying to make the argument that people do not fundamentally care about each other’s stories and only care in the ways they can relate their stories to their own experiences and therefore no one should ever try to make new plot lines or share their stories bc it’s all been told before and the only point to you sharing your story is for your own therapy bc no one actually cares and humans aren’t actually pack animals but lone wolves and we keep saying we want to change the world and we could so easily overthrow people in power but bc no one actually cares about each other we don’t do it and just give up. I have never been more certain in my whole life that I am right in saying she could not be more wrong. for the love of god please just share an orange with someone

See I think if I'd been born a guy I wouldn't be this pathologically avoidant trying to plan my career because there are plenty of situations you can find as a cis man where you just Do Tasks in awkward silence and you can get to those as a woman but you have to go through the rings of hell socializing first and then besides, a lot of those jobs already have so many men that you stand out when the whole point was you Don't want to do that

Tumblr sorta needs a 'Mute' feature in my opinion. Like what if I don't want to block this user, what if I don't want to become enemies and in some days I'd like to interact. But also most of the time seeing how they avidly encourage everyone else whereas I get the passive-aggressive 'oh yeah very uhh... interesting... (please leave me alone I don't like your art lol)' makes me want to unfollow every single fan of these characters and never draw them again.

I remember two years ago the exact same thing happened when someone liked the same character and the same ship and I swear I was the only person in the fandom they bluntly left out and could not spare a single good word for. I can't even blame this on my art being "ugly" because this type of user always aggressively praises all art styles and all levels of skill, it feels more like 'a personal thing except we never fought a single time'. And now my toxic trait of needing approval from [cool person name] is back to haunt me years later! Add the unability to "abandon" this character/ship/whatever despite wanting to after facing so much unspoken passive spite, because I am a contrarian and the best way to trap me into doing something is to try to exclude me from it. I didn't face attempts to very aggressively bully me out of the yard/class/community/etc, sometimes with physical violence included, only to let something mid like passive aggression online finally do it.

I am really stupid and naive person despite my age, but in like 5% of the cases I will still understand the hint and understand what is going on. Yet I have to pretend to be clueless even in rare situations when I know someone hates me, because since they never admitted it, quitting will be perceived as me being "paranoid". But dear goooood, it hurts sometimes. I hope that one day I will be numbed to being treated as a tumor on an otherwise healthy body of society that someone is dying to amputate- and always a person whose approval I want, of all people. Knowing that this day will come is one of the things that keep me going as both a person and a creator. Things like viruses and diseases still try their best to persist, so even if I am actually one, I should persist. It doesn't matter whether I actually rot everything around me or this is just my self-depreciating delusion upon focusing on people that mistreated me and not people that loved me. What matters is persisting, I just still feel angry that it hurts. I can't respond spite with spite or passive aggression with passive aggression, I can't do the 'smug asshole' when I become aware that someone tries to starve me until I "die". I can just fall over and cry about it like a kicked dog, despite being so old, especially when it is a person I didn't have anything against.

And really.. It is as simple as turning the internet off, so I don't see The Person and can focus on doing stuff that I like, as if they never existed and can't crash my self-esteem. It is just annoying to keep doing this, a feature to not see them unless I am in the mood would be better. Like.. blocking is not an option. Not only it implies being enemies which is not my intention, but also it will be like an "evidence" that I was "crazy". They didn't do anything, right? Well, they know what they did, but it was never verbal, so it is my fault I "imagined things", right?

WIP Folder Tag Game:

“Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!”

Who Holds the Devil, please.

I actually don't have any snippets that I can post right now, but I can tell you a bit about my process! Because I DO have quite a lot of notes. Though I'm not sure if notes is the right word?

Because it's not like it's an outline or anything (there are some HUGE plot points that aren't even mentioned in that document x'D) but rather a collection of roughly 15k of dialogue and shorter descriptions for future chapters. It's not always the full conversation but rather the bits that popped into my head that I wanted to write down before I forgot them.

Here's an example of a conversation between Ga On and Yo Han, with Ga On speaking first:

"What are your plans for the future?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you going to live in hiding for the rest of your life? You'd have to if you stay in Korea." "Or will you settle somewhere else?"

"I haven't decided."

"You haven't decided?"

That was unusual for Yo Han.

"No."

"Why not?"

Look.

"You know why."

He did. Or hoped so, at least.

Yo Han was waiting to see if they had a future together.

___

It looks pretty funny, doesn't it? But it does give the basic structure of the conversation and, surprisingly enough, I rarely change that structure once I've written it down like this. And yes, I can usually pinpoint where I want my pauses in the dialogue even if I don't have the surrounding text, probably because I'm pretty comfortable with my writing style at this point and can predict how I want the tone, sentences, and story to flow.

Obviously, there will be A LOT of descriptions added around all this before I'd consider posting it, but many scenes start like this. Though not always. Like the scene with Jin Joo and Ga On in the car in chapter 34? That one was written entirely without notes. I just started writing and went wherever the conversation wanted to go.

So I can write both with and without a structure if I want to. But, more than anything, I tend to rely on instinct. I rarely hesitate about the dialogue or the direction it's taking. If I get stuck, it's usually on how to phrase myself, not what's going on or what the characters are saying/doing. That tends to flow without issue.

Which is pretty obvious when you compare my unedited drafts to my posted chapters. The changes are usually just cosmetic, never structural or anything in how the characters behave. I tend to nail the plot, flow, emotion, and characterisation on the first try, then it's just a matter of making it pretty xD

Hope that gave you something, even if it wasn't a completed snippet! Thank you for playing 💜

I enjoy your opinion of the Brellies, so I would like to ask how do you think Klaus views Vietnam? In the comics he enjoys it (even has a kid with a local that he cares for), and in the show it seems to represent his best and worst time of his life.

I think that same sentiment carries over and sums it up well. On one hand - He's not a Fuck Up there; he's just another traumatized young man doing the best he can in war. And he finds the love of his life.

On the other hand - it's the fucking Vietnam War. So.

Twas the best of times, twas the worst of times. I think with Dave dying it slides more to the Worst of Times, but the really golden good of Dave is something he'll never forget or let go of. I don't think he'd talk much about any of his time in 'Nam, for how bad it was, certainly, but also to keep that best bit that was Dave close and his.
