Chapter 2 of Allspice.png

[noahtally-famous]

can't believe this hasn't been said before but unhinged!scarlett and unhinged!dave would be an iconic duo. shame pi didn't get a second season bc these two in an alliance would basically succeed in destroying the island, they'd wipe everyone out

the fact that they're both versions of the nerd character so they're already smart in their own ways, the fact that they have absolutely zero fucks to give anymore, their individual darker sides have come out (whether it was hidden consciously (scarlett) or unconsciously (dave)), and they've each attempted to kill/seriously injure one or more contestant(s) (and mess up the island in the process) just to reach their end goal. imagine if these two found a common goal somehow, literally nothing could get in their paths (except possibly each other)

(reads my own fic) woah. I'm so good at my job

can't stop thinking about how i flipped through the veilguard artbook today and how my perception of what it was going to be from seeing chatter about it online and what it actually was were completely different. (obvious in hindsight) like i thought the core concepts laid out in joplin were really not far off from what we ended up with and honestly, im not sure how much of a difference getting the game 5-8 years ago instead of now would have made.

like it probably would have been a much different game in execution but you can't tell me the reactions would have been less severe bc 'people wouldn't have had the time to make the game they wanted in their heads' bc have you been in this fandom? people were making up the game they wanted the second trespasser ended. that was never going to be a battle da4 was going to win.

22 for fic writer asks 🖤

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you're writing? how do you get past that?

ooh honestly, i don't think so? i think i'm lucky in that for the last 3-4 years, the people i've managed to attract as an audience to my writing are people who have mostly similar tastes to me, and who enjoy similar types of characterizations and themes and stories. so i feel pretty confident about the stuff i write (aside from like... the typical writer spiraling during the process when i think everything is bad LOL) and while i'm writing it i don't think i ever get the feeling that it's going to bomb or turn people off or that people will generally dislike it. or rather than not getting the feeling, i don't really think about it all. it doesn't occur to me that ppl might not like it bc i don't care bc i like it😆 i haven't written too much stuff that's "out there" or controversial in some way in a few years now (rly want to though), but even when i did, i got great reactions from likeminded people, so i haven't ever really been scared out of it 🙏 it's my own procrastination and being daunted by my own ideas that's stopping me

if we're talking "reaction" in general like comments/engagement, i'm kind of used to writing for like, myself and my corner of 3-5 freaks, so i don't expect many reactions in the first place 😆 so any comment i get is always a joy and a surprise! these days i don't find it too demotivating to think only a few people are gonna read what i write bc i'm pretty focused on just wanting my ideas to exist in my writing style and if ppl happen to like it that's an extra perk. and also the few people who are gonna read it are gonna go apeshit about it so that's really all i need and i'm always grateful for it kjsdhgjksd

so overall i think i'm lucky that i have that kinda self assurance and comfort bc like, fearing how people will react to your art is one of the fastest paths to suppressing yourself and your creative instincts and it sucks a lot. but there are a lot of judgmental and closeminded people out there who can't accept that people have different tastes than them and it can be hard not to worry about people like that seeing your work and having something to say about it. but interacting with like minded people and trying to form a community with the same values goes a long way in finding people who will support you unconditionally and enthusiastically, and that seems to be the best way to stop caring what other people might think about your art!! "me and my 2 freak mutuals" will save you, trust me

happy two year anniversary to mirrorverse, I’m sorry to everyone I’ve inflicted this on (not really about the inflicting it on you but about the length) (how did it get so long in two years)

[skitskatdacat63]

Every semester, I feel like my instant thought is always "I am dropping every class. They're all horrible." but by the end usually end up really liking it so I really just need to ignore my first impressions, but god looking at the syllabi really destroys my mental state

[pardonmydelays]

I bet you were born in Poland! 🤠

you are absolutely right anon 😭😭

[shannonsketches]

It isn’t potential, though. Vegeta is famously, canonically, interesting and complex and well written, despite the anime’s best efforts to stifle it. The nuggets you get from Toei are what survived them scraping off Toriyama’s (very good, highly skilled) storytelling and character writing to focus on making Goku as plastic and stiff as the action figures they use the series to market (which Toriyama actively, vocally, and repeatedly did not want or like).

when u like a character for their potential to be interesting and complex more than how they’re actually written

[a-a-a-anon]

i genuinely wish a real edwina character existed so bad. genderbent eddie who punches men in the face yelling "HOW DARE YOU?" when she senses slight innuendo but flirts with bartenders to get free drinks and punches richie in the face when he gets jealous and when she has to wear a bra wears one so tight it cuts off circulation to her head so she's even dumber and orders one of every wine bottle and saves women from richie's seduction attempts only to flirt with them herself.... you are real to me and i love you. "just because I'm a bird, it doesn't mean I'm not handy with me dukes!" while beating a man over the head? would be even more iconic if said by an actual female character.
