#we all deserved better

[miscellaneousjo]

@io-lu-art I had something similar happen to me. It made no sense that they would give him this redemption arc, only to rip it all away and have him die. And if you saw Rey's face when he died, she looked devastated. And I don't blame her, her LITERAL SOULMATE DISAPPEARED IN FRONT OF HER.

So I started writing my fix-it fic on Quotev (before it got nuked), and it made zero sense, people were revived, some characters even had different ages from when they died, it was just pure chaos, but I didn't care, because it was mine.

Anyway, fast-forward to the Quotev Apocalypse, ever since then I had been struggling to continue it, because a few of my best friends were boycotting Quotev because of the update. I'm hoping to move everything to Luneris once it (eventually) comes out, and continue from there, but between college, work, etc., it's been tough.

But I will forever scream from the rooftops that BEN SOLO DESERVED BETTER, REY DESERVED BETTER, WE ALL DESERVED BETTER.

I’ve recently come back to tumblr after a long hiatus post TROS and pretty much half the people I was following for Reylo and Star Wars haven’t updated in like 2-4 years.

So if you like Star Wars or Reylo can you reblog/like this so I get more people to follow who are still in the fandom :)

✨Manifest With Me✨

In 2025, We are no longer accepting the white character design with a vague brown tan/ashy dark skin, a slight curl pattern, and no/limited specific background as an "of color"! The "I'm Not Racist, Here's My Brown Character that Represents ALL Acceptable Melanin™" category has been permanently cancelled! If you are uncomfortable hearing this, know I am talking to you- and that's okay!

This year and henceforth, we encourage the creation of unambiguously Black characters! There is no shame in it- from your choice of features*, to your choice of cultural background. There are plenty of ways to make it known that your Black character... Is supposed to be Black!

(*Blackness runs the range of physical appearance- it's not just skin color! It's an identity!)

If you feel your character cannot be identifiably Black without concern for your "skill" or your "popularity", it is time to look within- and I have an entire blog dedicated to offering you resources and reflection during such a task!

Happy New Year- let's all choose to be more intentional creators this year! 💝

wishing on red bull’s downfall isn’t enough, i need every single person in that team to burn in hell (link)

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.

And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.

hey everyone - i know there’s a lot going on in the world right now, a lot of causes that need support and visibility now more than ever.

i’d like to take an opportunity to highlight a cause that’s very literally close to home for me: i live very, very close to springfield, ohio. the haitian community there has always needed help and support but now, with white supremacist rhetoric and bold faced lies being circulated nationally, with threats of violence and heightened ignorance being more common than ever, they need it perhaps more than they ever have.

there has been a lot of hate since trump and his little bootlicker attack dog jd vance have started this shit, but there’s also been an outpouring of love and community outreach in the weeks since springfield was thrust into the worst kind of spotlight.

the hatian community support and help center has been invaluable in helping hatian refugees get what they need to start a new life here. they are headed by a team of haitian immigrants that are personally familiar with what their fellow immigrants need. they have been instrumental in keeping their community from falling through the cracks.

i’m humbly asking, if any of you can - please, please consider donating to the HCSHC. every bit helps. and if you can’t donate, please, please share this around. if you’ve ever reblogged one of my posts or found them funny, if you’ve ever scrolled through and liked and reblogged what i’ve put here, i implore you to share this too. this is a very personal cause for me; i want to see these people who are new here, who enrich our community but are met with too much derision and spite, receive the help, respect, and dignity they deserve.

tbh as much as i do think it is worthwhile to discuss the topic of shipping aromantic/asexual characters and the nuances of it all (as well as the general attitude allos have towards aspecs in fandom spaces). it also makes me sigh equally because like... what characters. i'll be real guys we don't even have characters to discourse over. literally there are like 3 ever and none of those have fandoms anyway and the ones which do are like 'it was confirmed on twitter in a nebulously worded post by the creator'. its so bad out here

it actually really bothers me how it was always “daniel to red bull” now it’s “liam to red bull” but it’s never once been “yuki to red bull” when he’s been driving the life out of that car for years

Scheming

[inthehouseoffinwe]

Finarfin Fades.

No one expects it, no one’s faded in Valinor since Miriel. The War of Wrath is won and he comes back, waving off the courtiers, well wishers, and congratulators with his usual grace, and walks into the palace of Tirion. To rooms abandoned since their owners left so long ago. Winding deeper and deeper his feet take him to what was once Finwë’s favourite garden.

He’s so tired.

He’s fulfilled his promise to Fëanaro and Nolofinwë, to avenge them. To make the agony of their final moments - agony Finarfin felt, falling to the floor screaming as fire and darkness consumed his spirit - count for something. Now Morgoth is finally gone, but he’s not the only one.

His brothers, larger than life, larger than death, are gone. With them his sons. Niece. Nephews. Grandchildren. His daughter is never to return. He Saw little Nelyo’s death in his dreams and is sure hopes for the child’s own sake that Makalaurë will be close behind.

Little remains. Even less on these golden shores.

So Finarfin sits on a bench long overgrown with vines and weeds, and watches the sun filter through the thicket, wishing the ghosts he sees in his father’s garden would flesh out.

He sits. He waits.

And by the time anyone finds him, it’s too late.

…at least he’s smiling again.

So… how we feeling about these new names?

I would find Blondie Lockes very annoying in real life, but I love her in fiction. She's a genuinely good journalist in terms of both skill and ethical integrity, who only occasionally forgets to check the facts because she's fifteen and holds herself accountable when she does. She has incredibly high standards for everything and believes herself to be the ultimate authority on quality. She has magical lockpicking powers because her fairytale is about Goldilocks breaking into a house. She somehow completely ignores the story's moral that Goldilocks was wrong to break into the house, feels entitled to go wherever and help herself to whatever she's able to and cannot comprehend why people dislike this. She's been terrorizing an anthropomorphic bear family with her cheerful disrespect for privacy and is convinced that they love her. She has a non-anthropomorphic pet baby bear. Her motivation is dependence on external approval rooted in deeply internalized classism. She's desperate to be useful and important to those with higher social status and feels the need to lie that her family is technically royalty to fit in with her royal friends, even though they treat commoners like equals all the time. She positions herself as a conduit of true greatness; closer to it than the masses, but never the hero, always reporting on other people and evaluating what they've done. Because what she's done isn't enough to be worthwhile. What she is isn't enough. But this performative lifestyle makes her anxious about being judged as a fraud and an interloper, and ashamed of selfishly transgressing against social norms. Her microphone head looks like an adorable little bear head. That's one hex of a character alright.

what was the point of lila thinking home was a feeling she didn't deserve and could never earn until she found diego. what was the point of them finding deep, meaningful love in each other. what was the point of lila opening her heart and confessing that all she really wanted was a family with him.

what was the point of developing diego and lila over two seasons, creating such a beautiful, chaotic bond, just to destroy it for no reason.
