genuinely despise the way straight writers write about butch suffering. it's always some tired dogshit like "she was hurt by a man so now she's cold and bitter and mannish, if only she'd heal, then she'd become her natural feminine self again!" which sucks because i absolutely would love to watch a relatable butch character go through something harrowing and emerge victorious, just not if it was written by someone who seems to have misunderstood the basic nature of my existence

a concept for the type of OP i'd love to see for the second season of Dungeon Meshi! both s1 OPs are great, but i'm really hoping for one that captures both the "dangerous fantasy adventure" and "comedic cooking adventure" aspects of the series in equal measure, because it's the integration of those two concepts that makes the series special to me. the joyous whimsy and the dramatic horrors are equally important!!

"Arya wouldn't have been able to survive in KL" is really one of the dumbest fanon takes where you can tell someone only believes it because they like the idea of Arya and Sansa being "exact opposites and perfect complements" (even though it goes against the books). Actual evidence from the books to back it up? Never anywhere to be found despite how confidently people make this claim.

And not only does it severely mischaracterize Arya and ignore what she's been through, it also ignores her importance as a political hostage. The Lannisters weren't searching for her, and lying about having her, for no reason. They needed her because having only one Stark after executing Ned put them in a poor position to negotiate. So Arya would have been more than capable of handling herself (thoroughly shown in her Harrenhal chapters) and the Lannisters would've done everything in their power to keep her alive but, somehow, she wouldn't have been able to survive? It's truly one of those takes that falls apart if you think about it for more than two seconds but apparently, that's too much effort for some people.

One of these days Adrian Tchaikovsky is gonna drop a novel about sentient spacefaring leeches and for about 600 pages I'm gonna be forced to care about those bastard creatures and I'm gonna LIKE IT

Just realised this was (probably) a Certified Bestie™ moment, where it seems that Toshiro confided in Namari about his feelings before his plans were made public 😔🫶

can't get myself to draw rimu's wings from dorsal side to present the patterns so he's getting put on chart

sorry for the essays but what's also legitimately fascinating to me tbh is this mass delusion about there being no information in canon, and the poor marauders fandom being forced to come up with their own ideas to fill in the perceived blanks lest they starve. Ik it's been a while since the books and people have forgotten details but it feels like going insane, I guess SWM and Prince's Tale were just fever dreams that I had lmao.

Despite JKR's obvious shortcomings as a person I don't think there's any denying that characters are absolutely one of her strong suits as a writer. Characters that are much more minor in the narrative still feel very fleshed out, like I feel like I've got a pretty good sense of, say, Dedalus Diggle even though he has probably 3 lines. But we're constantly being pelted with information about the Marauders; enough to have a whole legion of fans obsessed with them for decades. If they're just blank slates why are they so interesting to so many people?

authors aren't required to explain EVERY facet of their worlds, that has never been the case and in fact I think hp is unusual in that we've received a lot of extra content over the years.

I think it must be a (juvenile, imo) expectation for everything to be over-explained and lain out for the audience in the simplest, most straightforward ways-- otherwise, it might as well not exist. I mean basic reading comprehension in younger generations is obv declining significantly but the fact that people have no ability to tie together the simplest ideas and draw inferences unless they are EXPLICITLY STATED is wild. it reminds me of this post about the house-elves in hp.. the fact that it's a commonly held view that jkr's intention was to excuse slavery lol. like I as a 12 year old easily picked up on the fact that kreacher's tale and dobby's death were supposed to be lessons for harry-- it's pretty explictly stated in the books idk-- the fact that fully grown adults cannot comprehend ideas meant for children is sooo embarrassing

My favorite school will always be Storm because it's my aesthetic and I vibe with it more than anything else but from a narrative standpoint Death is my absolute favorite. Like almost all the interesting Wizard101 NPCS and the two major arc villains we've had all come from there, and everyone sans Penny has some sort of trauma associated with their school of choice due to the very magic they're practicing, or the individual that practices it. There's so much going on in that area where everyone inside it and outside is affected, even the world around them.

Even death itself is an interesting topic irl, and also the fact that Death is feared even in the wizard world opens so much content for multiple stories RIGHT THERE, and then you have internal problems such as Ambrose himself seeming to keep his biased opinions close to him and keeping necromancers at an arm's length, and that perspective then bounces off on other people (Morganthe, which starts her villain arc; Duncan, who was persuaded to switch schools even BEFORE he became a villain; Dworgyn and Mortis, who are left behind). It's just story after story after story. All the interesting characters and their stories are right where Death is and if Storm wasn't my absolute favorite it would be Death. Necromancers seriously rock and they're so cool in every single way

I see what u gdamn did to our Nightshades...bloating the cast with (and using the budget on) a bunch of Big Names isn't going to change that for me.

You: "We're going to have more monsters in S2!"

Also you: *gets rid of half of them (and the only named/established vampire)*

ETA: You had one job, unless it's nominal

Watched the latest My Hero movie and I fully expected the random civillians to get to contribute during the scene where the students were trying to change Julio's mind.

I understand that the other students had to overhear the conversation between Deku and Julio to give them a reason to chime in, but there's approximately a hundred random civillians here as well.

"Humans… made wolves disappear? How's this possible ~wan? Aren't humans and animals supposed to be friends ~wan?!?"

"Reality isn't like fairy tales, Komugi! It can be harsher than you think it would be!"

"No way… I can't accept it ~wan! We must do something!!"

"I wonder if there is anything we can do at this point to appease their anger."

[ramveins]

As much as I am an omegaverse defender/enjoyer/writer, sometimes I wonder whether or not the trope of demonising "illegal suppressants" (specifically separate from birth control) in fics is supposed to come off as analogous to the fear mongering surrounding DIY hormones on purpose, or if it's all just one big coincidence and that's why no one ever tags a warning for it?

Chapter Seven

In which Rizeth plays dress-up with his boy, and Ashenivir makes some fun new friends

[ID - a purple decorative divider]

Apparently, serial novels were a popular pastime in Waterdeep. Ashenivir, exploring the market whilst Rizeth was off running more mysterious errands, had found a whole stall of them and, for a few coppers each, bought entirely too many. He’d made the mistake of starting Hard in Hightown on the way back to the apartment and the next thing he knew he’d devoured six of them, the last one ended on a cliffhanger, and it was dark outside.

“You can’t leave it like that!” He turned the book over, as if he’d find the rest of the story hidden in the back cover.

“What are you reading?”

Ashenivir nearly threw the book across the room. He’d been so absorbed he hadn’t heard Rizeth come in.

“A serial—Tethras ended it in an irresponsibly irritating place, and…” he glanced at the dark window, “…and it’s too late now to go back to the market to find the next part. What are those?”

On the table, Rizeth had laid out two packages. One Ashenivir had seen before—it was the one that had vanished into the bag of holding the previous day—but the other was new. Rizeth carefully folded back the paper, revealing a glint of metal—another toy, maybe? Hopefully better made than the gag had been.

“Come here,” Rizeth said. Ashenivir left his book on the couch, piled with the other five, and went curiously over. He caught a brief glimpse of cloth, silver-grey and midnight blue, before he was ordered to strip.

He was out of his clothes in a heartbeat, grateful for the heating runes Rizeth had, as promised, put up that morning that allowed him to do so without a second thought for the freezing weather outside. Excitement buzzed in his chest. It had to be a new toy, and his Master must be finished with his errands for the day, and though it was dark, it wasn’t all that late, there was time yet before dinner. Ashenivir started to kneel, but Rizeth caught his arm.

“If you do not like this,” he said, more seriously than the situation seemed to call for, “you do not have to wear it.”
