#which is unsurprising

warrior cats is a book series fundamentally dedicated to the moral “constant war and prejudice is ultimately good and better for everyone” and to me it is best to preserve that while changing the coating of the narrative to that of an ironic one, treating all the bullshit clan cats do and their stagnant society a circus of errors that ultimately gestures to the audience “you see? a society built on the idea that war and prejudice is good fucking sucks, war and prejudice is bad” however most people who do rewrites and aus seem convinced they can curtail the idea of warrior cats society being bad by like, deciding it is a moral imperative to draft disabled people into War That Is Good or to bring back a child that was unjustly killed for failing to integrate into the War Is Good society and having them go to Good War or whatever, which is very uninteresting

It's important to fans to understand me, and me understand the fans. I put a lot of work on my English to talk with you guys. And I think I'm doing a good job.

Happy Merlin anniversary to all who celebrate!

I started making this cushion cover 2 years ago, after a lot of not working on it, I finally finished it this afternoon.

'upastige draca' is the incantation Merlin uses to make a dragon for his Pendragon after revealing he's magic. I had briefly considered thank you or hold me but @mid-n0vember's suggestion was better.

Tom: Harry, we already tried things your way.

Harry: What? No, we didn’t - when?

Tom: Well, we tried it in my head.

Tom: And it didn’t work.

How lucky we are to have been born in the right era.

Put in the tags who you were born in the wrong era for. I’m so curious! 🙏🏻

Marilou is a horrible person as well. There’s a thread of her on Twitter/X of her being a Zionist as well as being in contact with Zionists.

There’s also been reports of her being a mean girl (at the Canadian GP, during the BOSS event, she was spotted with her friend mocking and making fun of fans at the event acting very judgemental) along with her allegedly making fun of someone’s weight.

Lance himself, it’s tricky, although I do feel bad for him, he also has dated an IOF(?) solider in Dian Schwartz.

Honestly so so glad she's away from him now. Perhaps he'll see the light soon...? I'm being carefully hopeful here. Because knowing what I know, the drama about Kelly and Max, something with Carlos, many things with Lando... I'm starting to get trust issues for real, lmao.

Still kinda hopeful of course, it'd be a shame otherwise.

"the longer we take the worse this is gonna get" is also a great principle of d&d tbh

Literally no other way I could describe it right now.

It has been years and yet it still tickles me that Glimmer from SPOP counts as an Unscrupulous Hero. I mean I agree, she definitely does count as one, but it's just funny considering the usual characters that get to be this trope.

For minor context, Unscrupulous Heroes are on the Edgier(TM) side of the Anti-Hero scale. It's not the Absolute Edgiest(TM) end of the scale (that honor goes to Nominal Heroes, which... kinda self-explanatory IMO) but it's only one notch less Edgy(TM) than that.

The typical go-to example of an Unscrupulous Hero is your "ends justify the (very violent and morally dubious) means" types of guys, like the Punisher. The Punisher imo is kind of the best example of this, though some depictions can make him swerve into Nominal Hero territory. Huntress and Jason Todd are pretty good examples too, though I don't read a lot of DC so I could be off-base there.

So the concept of the examples of Unscrupulous Heroes being angsty, violent vigilantes in grimdark comic books, cynical characters who do What Has To Be Done in gritty crime dramas, troubled hardboiled detectives in the film noir genre... and a pastel pink glittery princess from a reboot of a 80s toyetic cartoon? It's fucking incredible.

The mortifying ordeal of being known and all that, but the contrast between my advisor, who has known me for 12 years at this point, giving encouragement under the form of "kill perfectionism", "try to derive enjoyment from writing" and "in order to edit we need a manuscript" vs. the career director who has known me for 2 giving it as "Your advisor told me you are moving along well, I'm certain you'll write an excellent thesis and I congratulate you" is in and of itself such an amusing testimony of *gestures vaguely* you know what I mean.
