wip wednesday (finally)

i found a snippet i can share without forty pages of accompanying context because of how obscure the AUs that haunt me are lol here is achilles being sad in troy from an upcoming chapter of glass slipper

He isn’t entirely sure how long they’ve been here, fighting and waiting for fighting. Sometimes it feels like he was born here on the sand, listening to the familiar crash of wave after wave on the shore. Here, the sounds of the water mix with the always chattering, running, cleaning, clamoring, drinking, laughing, crying soldiers in the camp. He can’t pull apart the sound of the waves from the sounds of the soldiers. Dimly, he knows Phthia’s waters sound the same, but the way the camp’s ambient noise has woven in with the ocean’s makes him feel as though he’s on an alien planet, that this isn’t a real ocean, that these aren’t real people.

"Angry robin" "violent robin" "misbehaving robin" shut up and accept my alternative; spunky Robin. Determined and head strong, can out-stubborn the Batman, has a strong moral-backbone and does what he thinks is right regardless of what anybody else says, Robin. Jason who was sassy and quippy and made crude jokes with a smile on his face. Jason who hid in Bruce's cape and whispered gossip to him. Jason who, if Bruce refused him something, could keep bothering endlessly until Bruce caved. And also dramatic Jason. If Bruce tells him no, it becomes a whole theatrical show; a monologue, a narration, embellishments, and falling onto the floor in his grief upon the fact his cruel father has denied him once again.

(Jason who has suffered through abuse and homelessness and poverty and starvation, who is the Fight out of Fight or Flight, who's built up defenses and walls and when pushed and triggered responds with the thing that's always protected him; anger. He's sweet and kind and funny, and when he sees a pimp hitting a prostitute he gets furious and responds with violence.)

So... I bingwatched the Interview with the Vampire series and now I just feel empty.

I don't think I'll able to start anything else for a while without thinking about how much I'd reather re-watch iwtv.

Like, this show has everything I didn't know I needed:

The 10s-30s disfunctional vampiric Modern Family;

A "love triangle", if I can call It like that, where everyone has fucked everyone at some point in time;

The fucked up relationships and the fucked up characters that have done fucked up things;

An investigative journalist and best-seller author that is the reason not only of his own divorce;

THE ✨Messy Bitch who lives for drama✨ that haunts his ex's relationship;

The church scene;

Just the melodrama of It all (Daniel Is right, this is a soap opera)

Being a woc fan of Bridgerton can be a struggle, especially when it comes to liking the poc characters on the show, especially the woc. Like I remember when s1 came out and the blatant microaggressions and just plain racism coming from this fandom was atrocious. You had people spewing very hateful things about Charlotte, Marina, and Simon and undermining the latter two's pain and trauma at the hands of the white characters---Marina was treated terribly by the Featheringtons and, whether you like Penelope or not, you cannot deny that she also played a part by releasing that letter to the Ton and Simon was violated Daphne no matter how people try to spin the story to offer her some form of sympathy (it still blows my mind that people would want to though).

S2 is just as bad (not even including how they changed the Sharma family's storyline than how it was in the books when that wasn't necessary) and the racist undertones many of the fans have towards Mary and Edwina (as well as Kate but for her it's carries more brown woman needing to be saved by a white man when Anthony is involved because a lot of you all in the fandom are quick to use this trope such as "oh, he's the only one who truly knows her"). The lack of screen time for this family really ends up hurting them to but even with that, whether you like Mary and Edwina or not, it would be a lie to deny the racism a lot in the fandom hold towards them (and how that falls onto the actresses because it was very apparent how many in the fandom couldn't let two Desi women shine without having to bring down the other and Netflix played into that too for drama) and paints every small thing they do as being terrible crimes but in the same breath will not have the same smoke for the Bridgertons, who have their own set of problems (but because they are also the main family, among other things, they are provided more grace without consequences).

These are the takes I’m seated for 👏 👏 👏

serendipity of me sometimes wondering how my portrayal would've been like had i stuck strictly to canon's rules in regards to the curse(tm) and dark vanished as soon as daisuke's love became mutual with somebody but then all of dai's ship partners would get stuck with him sighing to himself like. all the time. forever

I have a hard time reading tones in video games so um. Personally I thought Loop wasn't really being all that mean to Siffrin ;;; so when I hopped online and everyone was like "god Loop is such a BITCH" I was over here going what huh but they're so funny and sweet??? I think Loop could have been very mean to Siffrin but um, that's not what they did imo lol

Idk I also just hate the future actually. My ass is Always living in the past or simply day to day 💪💪💪

i feel like mpgis actually has the potential to help me with my social anxiety. hear me out. every time I feel awkward about something I’m doing, I ask myself: “would deandra be anxious in this situation?” and the answer is always no. deandra would roll with it and fucking own it.

I love how in every post/video talking about TD winners and who deserved to actually win each season we just... collectively agree Heather deserved to win TDWT. Like, I haven't seen ONE TAKE being like "Actually, X deserved to win TDWT", all of them keep Heather as the winner and I love that for us.
