i need a personal pr firm for when i want to be real with a friend because i suck so bad at wording things

[rhythmcrown]

Gonna be real honest, getting comments over on SCC like 'not to be rude, but it's been [x] weeks and no new page' kills morale like you wouldn't believe. I know I'm behind, and yeah, it sucks, but I HAVE to prioritize other things right now. Too many projects that don't pay, when we had to get a loan from a friend to make rent this month. As much as I'd like to be in the zone cranking out page after page, if I want to be able to eat, I need to work on things that actually generate income.

I only have so much energy, and believe me, I already feel bad about it! I don't need the reminder, because if there's one thing I'm exceedingly good at, it's awareness of just how much is on my to-do list at any given time. And my god, that thing is getting fat

[desvoeux]

everybody moved on but im still at using detect thoughts on cazador and hearing the genuine, desperate, neverending torment of a man who still remembers being a young boy slowly turning into a monster at the hands of a ruthless master who demanded perfection instead of tee hee i love being evil and using speak with the dead on gortash's corpse to find his soul already gone, claimed by bane to be tormented until the end of times for failure....... atavistic rigid discipline and heavy-handed correction (torment), if you even care

@osamusbigtits said nekoma has the biggest furry vibes which is based and epic and tru

i yam volleying back with that they are ALSO warrior cat kids w an ongoing LARP and they all have warriorcats sonas

some important information:

Kuroo is the clan leader, Kai is the deputy, Yaku is the medicine cat (bc they are special JUST like liberos (shibiyama is his apprentice!)) the second years are warriors and the first years are apprentices

they have a penalty if anyone breaks the rp canon and the people that have broken it the most are Lev and Taketora

Reply to @tundratoad's tag on this post

thanks for the tag and I can see why it made you think of me.

I do appreciate that OP laid out an entire Merlin BBC plan for how they would have dealt with Morgana and I have no intention to dispute it on their post. It's their vision. They're entitled to it. If that take fixed Merlin BBC for them, then good for them. If that transformative essay made the show feel more arthurian for them, then good for them.

I however am on the side that Morgana's change in S3 was perfectly sensible. It is a controversial take around here I know but BBC Morgana's character and storyline about activists and radicals, was reminiscent of the widespread information campaign against activism in my country in the past two presidencies.

That narrative where smart zealous young adults are "recruited" by activists, brought, isolated and radicalized in the mountains for months and years and then come back all changed, angry and weird? That is still a whole campaign against "terrorism" and "communism" that is continuously spread to cause unecessary fear about activists and subsequent insurgency (and that was in connection to the war on drugs as well).

Katie Mcgrath's character, was isolated, educated and trained for A YEAR, to be a rebel. Katie Mcgrath had explained this writing decision in interviews, btw. So I know that they took real world examples and slapped it on BBC Morgana.

Therefore I was able to understand how she went into a complete flip of character from a "bumbling princess who tried too hard but always failed" into a cold efficient rebellion agent in s3. That anti-activism campaign is still too active in my country even now.

Personally I think the change fit very well with the show's theme because the show choose genocide as backdrop of all things.

Plus if you read Morgan le fay in the french legends (vulgate/malory).. she does turn, well, completely against Arthur, for even lesser nonsensical reasons.

Because of that I consider BBC Morgana's actual, tangible gravitas as a win. I consider all her actions as something to be expected, given what they put her through and what was already established about her from s1-s2

so for propaganda reasons, i think BBC did a very very good job of convincing their young audience that all activists/rebels/extremists are insane/crazy and shouldn't be treated human and should be all exterminated once and for all.

It also harkens back to arthuriana/medieval messaging that any sort of hate/anger is ireedemable and demonic (compared to just being anguished about stuff. Unethical actions coz of anguish was more acceptable.)

the show's story accomplished a lot of things all at once ngl.

...so if i don't consider Morgana's writing a huge problem that what is the problem (for me?)

It's what they turned Merlin into.

BBC Merlin's constant secrecy of his powers and denial of himself was a betrayal of everything that medieval and legendary Merlin was. Like I said before, legends!Merlin was one who showcased what he could do whenever he could and one who openly defended himself, his decisions and his powers to everyone who doubted him.

And that would have fit well in the politics of the show. Merlin should have been openly and unabashedly spreading propaganda of his mission first and foremost, and not wait for antagonists like Morgana to close in on him and his secret. He should have stood out there tall and proud against Morgana and accepted fate as it came, not fight it, because that is what Seers like Merlin are supposed to do.

If it were me, Merlin should have tried reasoning and showing his powers to her in s2 or s3, not s4. There was still a way for them both out of their respective flavors of extremism if Merlin started stepping into power as Emrys before she assisted Morgause's death and unleashed an unforgiveable terrrorist act at the start of s4.

He should have been more openly committed to his actual goal of glorified and "acceptable" imperialism with him and Arthur at the top of everyone else, and not this back and forth and false sense that he was the "kind and humble one" because he let others step on him while he cheated and betrayed all of them from the shadows.

The conflicts which would have arisen would be juicier. Merlin would have been a lot smarter at everything, Morgana and co. would have backed down a bit or even listened to him a bit, Arthur would have had to choose between imperialistic glory with Merlin by his side or have his own kingdom fall because of his stubborness to accept help, Mordred would risen up on his own as an agent of chaos. etc. There' would have been more opportunity for negotiation, reconciliation, resolution, etc.

idk man. we all have ways to fix this damn show. But I dont have hubris enough to claim i'd be better than the writers/showrunners.

but really tho. i enjoyed and was disgusted by the show too much to find it in my heart to change anything.

it's good stuff for brainworms

hmm.. directing on the first ep wasnt great... also not loving the softening of gabe's character at all. i get that theyre trying to rework medusa's characterization but gabe was an asshole who deserved to die. def dont think theyre gonna go that route.

Thinking about body types specifically about Knov

He's been thin his entire life, not due to any particular effort on his part but because he has a freakishly fast metabolism, he was one of those skinny kids that are all angles and sharp elbows until he sort of filled out as a teen/adult. And by "filled out" I mean he looks more "lean/toned" as opposed to "could blow away in a strong breeze"

He also has a joint disorder (the hxh equivalent of Ehlers-Danlo/something like it, this in addition to his vanity about his looks is why he appears so youthful. Also makes his skin super soft) which makes him very flexible and he can pop his joints in and out of place. Part of his nen training was making this particular ability less painful (it still hurts but he can mostly shrug it off now). Helpful in escaping restraints if he gets caught, and in one instance where a mafia goon tried to break Knov's fingers, only to freak out when they bent all the way back to Knov's wrist

Random sort of adjacent fact: the only thing Knov really hates/will cover up is his freckles, he just deeply Dislikes them

Basic body type summary: weird twink
