Reminder to myself to STOP looking at fics in the same fandom/ship as the one I'm currently writing. Everyone else's stories are so amazing, and it makes me feel like garbage in comparison. I'm so scared my story won't be up to the fandom's standards and will be ignored.
#fandom#fic#fanfic#fanfics#my fic#fic writing#fic writer#fanfiction#fanfic writing#fanfic writer#I need to stop comparing myself to others#comparison is the thief of joy#nobody can write my story like I can#my story won't be for everyone#someone will find something to love in what I have to offer#insecurity#insecurity can be crippling#I'm going to keep going#I'll just live in the little world I made up and ignore everything else#at least I'm my target audience#forget everyone else and get to work#you should be writing#I'm getting better every day#I'm putting in the work to make my story something I'm proud of even if it doesn't get the response I'm hoping for#working past insecurity

EPISODE 5……..🥺
Right off the bat, i love the idea of percy’s forehead peeking out of the water, like the mysterious mermaid he is
Annabeth was the best part of the episode as always
Thought they were gonna talk more about thalia percy parallels grover just looked a lil tad distressed and that was it but whatever
Percy and his lil ‘hi’s will never stop being funny
the usual “i thought annabeth was gonna punch me but she was actually nice to me guys who would’ve thought someone would be happy to see me” narrative still shining through WITH THE HUG PLS CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SWEET THE HUG WAS
grover’s so confused like “literally an hour ago you guys hated each other….am i missing out on some plot point”
dude was ‘looking for new tickets in the st. Louis arch as if they were going to be on the floor lying somewhere💀
Percy’s face when he addresses grover after the hug, he’s so proud someone actually hugged him 🥹his face is just like “hey grover look SHE’S HUGGING ME🥺”
Can I just say the writing for percy is perfect
like he’s so 50% there like he’s so good at communicating and asking what’s wrong and trying to understand the other person’s feelings (sally jackson’s son for you) but at the same time he has NEVER had a friend before so he ends up embarrassing himself 😂😭
”im pretty sure that’s what friends do” “….at least i think that’s what they do” pls 😭
grover’s face too help you’re already tired of being third wheel???oh honey this is THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST BOOK get comfortable
not their lil heads popping out and going back in. Peak comedy right there
Seriously adam did reallyyyyyy good as ares. Theres no one else i can imagine anymore as ares. The delicateness of his ‘good mood’ as if it is gonna break any second, the rage and fury but at the same time being extremely funny???
the diner looks so cosy it’s so cute
was kinda missing some percy rage in this but it comes out at the last so its fine
The real reason for grover to be so okay staying back is not the strategy of getting answers out of ares but because of how tired he was of taking care of annabeth and percy.
I feel like they should be showing luke more (later on they will, i have faith) im already forgetting about him it wont hit as hard if i dont remember him
Percy “ive not seen many movies since im broke” jackson x annabeth “ive never seen a movie since i live in a magical camp” chase
but the fact that annabeth’s never seen a movie kinda erases the fact that later on in hoo, annabeth talks about watching cheesy old romance movies with her father which kinda contributes to their dynamic but
the fact that percy would probably be the first one to take her to the movies makes me not care
honestly tho IM REALLY REALLY HOPING THAT THEIR FIRST MOVIE WONT BE THE ONE AT THE START OF BOTL I’d rage as much as annabeth when i see percy with rachel (not that im a rachel hater, im a circumstances hater)
grover is such a good therapist, like he is THE EMPATH. He tripped the god of war into talking about his life this is a grover appreciation post
annabeth zoning out with fascination at the mechanics and also i love the “percy being done with annabeth” representation
i cant see anything so nothing to say here
SEAWEED BRAIN THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT IN PJOTV HISTORY THE FIRST SEAWEED-
grover manipulating ares through his emotions>>>>>
also ares roasting athena
Percy sacrificing himself AGAIN like the depressed kid he is
annabeth immediately reassuring percy that she would save his mom the character developmentttttttt from being inconsiderate about percy losing his mom to promising that she would save the lady EVEN THOUGH SHE BARELY KNEW HER
This is giving me too many feelings guys the lady she’s promising to save is the lady who will be the best mother figure who will singlehandedly heal her mommy issues AND BECOME HER MOTHER IN LAW
“Its warm” i thought this was gonna be the last thing he says before whatever was gonna happen to him so i was like lol famous last words
but fr tho the intenseness of annabeth crying for percy to GET UP and percy’s just fading out of the world trying not to cry trying to reassure annabeth that he’s okay IN WHAT WOULD BE HIS LAST FEW WORDS, literally everything he does is for someone else even in his dying moments its just magelhi”gdsjihoawerhoudfjls
especially with the “im not…..” [okay] lol we have always known that percy, it aint a big surprise
i got to applaud leah for how she portrayed annabeth’s brain chemistry altering every minute with percy and how that influenced her speech with hephaestus
i cant believe thats leo’s dad hes giving santa claus i do like him tho
Now that i think about it the percabeth hug should have been after percy comes back to life not after the louis arch scene since they were just starting to have two minutes of chemistry there and have the “you dont have to feel bad about the hug” in the zebra truck scene
percy trying to intimidate ares lolllll walker scobell did his best to make it look real tho so good for him for not representing it as it was; a lil 12 year old child threatening a wrestler looking god of war
”Thanks for the emotional abuse and the cheeseburgers” will forever be in the cinema hall of fame
i feel like grover either is going to say the wrong person or he’s going to figure out it’s luke but something’s going to stop him from saying it out loud
or he’ll say it which causes some angst amongst the team who dont trust him cuz both annabeth and percy worship luke like there’s no tomorrow
RAINBOW?? OHH THEYRE GONNA IRIS MESSAGE LUKE??
LIN MANUEL MIRANDA
#I love that they’re making pjotv a character centred story if that makes sense#Like this story is not about the lightning thief and the gods and stuff#Its about a trio of traumatised kids who find solace in each other and find their worth in the world they’re living in#percabeth#percy jackson#pjo fandom#rick riordan#annabeth chase#heroes of olympus#pjo#pjo tv series#pjo tv show#percy jackon and the olympians#grover pjo#grover underwood#percy and grover#the lightning thief#annabeth#percy#pjo spoilers#aryan simhadri#walker scobell#leah sava jeffries#leah is my annabeth#lin manuel miranda#tag for me to see later on

#thief the dark project#thief 2 the metal age#yes the origins of the mechanists and city watch are fully explained#as well as the origins of the trickster and the nature of the eye#and the world's predisposition to forming citystates rather than nations and the fall of the precursors#also sorry Deadly Shadows the Keepers are not jedi and are a young Order compared to the Hammerites#go find a different series to inject your starwars fanfiction into#(I love Deadly Shadows by the way but it goes far beyond butchering the Thief story it's outright not even the same setting)#read the botany book by Constantine's bed and then play The Cathedral by the way#the nobility and barony and spiritual realm still arent fully explained though. Thief 2 Gold i miss you so much you wouldve given us it all#(T2G wouldve let us explore a noble university and the tower of the banished Hand Brotherhood acolyte)#(and also wouldve given us the actual version of Karras' story instead of the sudden ending)#Thief 3 wouldve been insane. Can you imagine the fall of the Barony and the City changing hands as the digital era approaches#oh yeah Thief is a post-electrical revolution modern setting with analogue electronics and advanced medicine didnt you know that?#you just don't see firearms often because there was little demand for them in the City compared to more versatile bows. but theyre there#theyre just used more for field and naval battle. the City is too cramped and winding for them to be effective#and there hasnt been the demand to lead to the development of advanced loading mechanisms#due to the fortification-centric nature of infrastructure (due to REDACTED) premodern structures arent torn down just reinforced with steel#yes you learn all of this if you actually play the games all the way through. the opening levels of T1 are bait and switch#portraying the world as primitive and backwards as seen through garrett's eyes#dont get me started on garrett's full character. play Ambush! and really look through his apartment

Medieval, fantasy writing
*~*~*~*~*
The two guards walked with their backs straight, as easy as if they weren’t carrying a struggling, cursing, kicking Hero between them down to the dungeons. Her hands were cuffed in front of her with heavy manacles specially made to fit her small wrists.
Hero didn’t look like much, but King was done underestimating her apparently. One of the guards motioned for the jailor to open a cell door.
“You motherfuckers! Let me go!��� Hero cried out, catching one of her legs off of a Guards and attempting to trip them. The guard just looked down at her impassively, massively and then she was thrown into the cell, her shoulder skidding off the cool stone floor. She let out a hiss, getting to her feet to see the Jailor locking her cell.
She walked to the cell bars and kicked at the door, with every effort a fresh curse falling from her lips. “Fuckers. Pricks. Wankers. Let me out!”
“There’s no point,” a voice said in the darkness and Hero turned in her cell, looking for the owner of the voice but there was no one. She scoffed, going back to kicking the hinges on the cell.
“I’m not giving up,” said Hero. Kick. Kick. Kick. Kick. A groan of frustration before she looked to her manacles and the chain connecting them. She pulled them apart, the chain pulling taut too soon. Barely two inches in length.
Fuck. She hadn’t accounted for the King’s Guards to be guarding the shipment… Raven had told her that there would be guards. Hero could deal with normal guards but the King’s guards were barely human, all muscle and zero emotions. Hero knew the only reason she was alive was because the King wanted her alive. If she had been ordered to die the King’s guards would have killed her.
Hero bent her wrists, trying to grab the chain but the chain snapped too soon, not letting her get a proper angle on it.
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” she growled, getting down onto her honkers and putting her foot on the chain and yanking her hands up. She let out a cry of pain, but the manacles didn’t fucking budge.
“Could you be quiet? Please?” the voice asked again, and Hero looked for it again.
“Where are you?” She asked, standing up and walking around the cell.
“Cell next to you,” came the voice and Hero walked to the right side of the cell and peered through the bars. “Other side.”
“Could’ve told me that,” she huffed and crossed the concrete to the left side. He was sitting upright at the back wall of the cell, head resting against the brick. His hands were spread on either side of him, slightly elevated and chained to the wall. “Shit,” hero said. “He must hate you more than he hates me.”
The prisoner laughed, a small chuckle. “Yeah. He must.”
Hero walked to the back of her cell and sat down heavy, resting her head against the wall in much the same way as the other prisoner. “I’m Hero, by the way.”
“I know,” was the reply.
“Usually people tell you their names in reply,” Hero told him, staring at the cobble arched ceiling.
“Yeah,” the prisoner said and then they fell into a silence. The question burning under Hero’s tongue, itching at their skin but they stayed silent. When the prisoner wanted to tell her, he’d tell her.
She didn’t realise she had fallen asleep until she woke up to the sound of the heavy doors at the end of the corridor heaving open with a loud, stuttering groan. Hero was alert and awake immediately, but she stayed on the ground in solidarity with her new prisoner friend.
She knew it was him the moment his heels clicked off the stone steps down. Three more long strides and she saw his pale face once more. The same face that caused every hair on her body to stand on end, a chill running through her spine branching off to all her nerves screaming at her to remain alert.
He looked like he walked straight from a gothic painting. His regal cherry wine tail coat so dark it looked black in the dim lighting, the shadows clinging to him like an old friend, carving out every angled feature making him look more formidable. Less human. She saw his usual black armour under his tailcoat and couldn’t help but smirk at it.
Hero was the reason King needed body armour in the first place. Sometimes she loved being a woman, underestimated at every turn. Her chains clinked as she readjusted her position and her eyes turned hard.
Not bigoted enough to underestimate her anymore…
King stopped between the two cells, his guards at his back looking soulless and frightening.
King turned his lips up into a cold, thin smile as he spread his hands to the pair of the prisoners: “wow. You’ve already made friends. That was fast, I’m impressed. I assume no introductions are in order then?”
His voice still the same silk spun silver, melodious and beautiful.
Knowing.
Dangerous.
“Your assumptions are correct,” said Hero confidence leaking into every syllable. “Our reputations precede us both. And what was that saying from the Sloughs? Enemy of my enemy is my temporary acquaintance. We’re about at the acquaintance mark. Give us a few more hours and we’ll be fast friends.”
The King’s eyes glinted with that sharp cunning Hero could see from where she sat. “I’m surprised at your ambivalence Hero. So forgiving. So unlike you.”
The words struck her like lightning to the heart, but she just smiled in reply and said: “like I said. Temporary acquaintance.”
King’s eyes turned to the other prisoner, eyebrows raised: “and you Graves? How do you feel about this acquaintanceship?”
Hero sat still, though every muscle in her body ached to flinch at the name. King wanted her reaction. He knew full well that Graves had never told Hero his name and now she knew why.
If it wasn’t for Hero, King wouldn’t wear armour.
If it wasn’t for Graves, Hero wouldn’t be a weapon.
Perhaps she would have lived a simple, happy life, but the man in the cell next to her ensured that she would never know peace again.
Her heart started beating a bit faster in her chest, behind her eyes welling up with tears she had shed for far too long and still hadn’t mourned enough. Still the tears were ready to fall at the utterance of a name.
She just stared forward at the King and his smug little grin and his stupid little guards and she wanted to see their blood on her hands.
“Like Hero said. Enemy of my enemy…”
Hero looked at the cell next to her and found bright silver eyes peering back at her and she wanted to sob. Fear’s molten hand was burning around her heart, choking her chest in its panicked heat that washed over her at the memory of those terrible silver eyes in the flames.
“Hmm,” said the King, standing straight again but Hero didn’t even acknowledge him. Eyes transfixed on those mercury pools of flesh and blood. How many times had she seen those eyes in her nightmares? How many nights had she lay awake committing them to memory?
She promised herself she would take the light from those horrific silver eyes. She had promised…
And yet… Hero’s eyes went to the King’s. What was he even doing here? Graves. Chained in the King’s dungeon for gods know how long…
“As much as I’ve loved our little chat,” said King, eyes on Hero as the Guards opened his cell and started taking his hands from the chains. “Graves and I have a previous engagement to attend.”
Graves said nothing as he was dragged out of his cell. He didn’t even look back at Hero as they escorted him through the hall and up the dungeon steps. “I’ll come back for you later. We can have a chat.”
“Go fuck yourself, King.”
King smiled and wordlessly he left. Hero sat in the cold darkness alone, and her sank to the pit of her stomach. It wasn’t long before she heard the screams, her eyes staring straight ahead. Wondering how the fuck she was going to get out of this one.

#girl.#“a lawyer”#replace “trounced” with “pounced”#they really made Gumshoe the punchline of every single joke in this game#so anyway i feel like when you already know what you're getting into Investigations 1 is not that bad actually#like it's pretty fun. it's like an international affairs adventure like if Carmen Sandiego worked for the UN#and the bigger picture is set up pretty subtly like sprinkled across the game but with each case being its own thing#also i remember getting a friend of mine to play ace attorney a while back and his main comment after playing the first few cases was:#“it's nice but i could do without the supernatural elements”#and i feel like Investigations is very much that? like ace attorney without the Feys? right?#i don't share my friend's sentiment but it's kinda like a best of both worlds scenario here#if you want a more grounded story play Investigations; if you're into the supernatural aspects play Spirit of Justice or something idk#the trilogy was like the perfect blend imo and then the second “trilogy” was just eh in terms of like magic and stuff#like i'd take Little Thief over Apollo's cockring any day honestly#i need more gays to rally behind Mia. what the fuck do you mean “i could do without the supernatural elements” ??#Gay 4 Fey#ace attorney#!

it's the end of 2023 and "thief king bakura had a point" isn't a hot take now anymore than it was twenty years ago when we first learned about aknadin's crimes in kul elna
#yugioh#thats what the narrative was implying you were supposed to think that#almost every yugioh dm plot arc involves abuse of power#and probably a hero/anti-hero/villain whose origin story is being a survivor of abuse#thats why we adore kaiba so much... despite his questionable extra-ness he's the guy who turned an arms manufacturer into a game company#and took over the world... with card games#and he's still messed up and extra and not all that trustworthy#but he's also a visionary#thief king bakura was much the same but much more helpless until he found zorc. or zorc found him#even atemu is a victim. he didn't cause any of this but he had to pay the price for all of it.#aknamkanon in his impotency knew it and thats why he sacrificed what he could to help his son even a small bit#i mean heck. what about kisara#point is thats the difference between thief king bakura and other abuse survivors in ygo.#he endured the unendurable but unlike kaiba there was no atemu to intermediate and help his heart grow out of zorc's reach#he becomes zorc's pawn and the battle is no longer about kul elna or bakura it's only about zorc#the person who deserved bakura's fate (as well as atemu's btw) was aknadin but like people in power are wont to he dodged accountability#yugioh was shockingly Real about some shit despite being the Card Games Are Srs Business anime#blah blah anyway it's nice to see the usual fandom wank still goes on in 2023 so i can whip out the ol' soapbox

In the world of Azeroth, ancient powers clash, heroes rise and fall, and the fate of entire civilizations hangs in the balance. From the towering peaks of the snowy Dun Morogh to the sun-kissed shores of Tanaris, Azeroth is a realm of wonders, mysteries, and endless adventure. The echoes of Azeroth’s tumultuous history reverberate through its landscapes, where the scars of past conflicts are…

actually quite interesting to reread the notes for my unwritten fantasy heist book from middle school that i came up with in a a pre-six of crows era. i feel like it’s an fun little time capsule look into the ideas i had about that genre prior to that book deeply influencing my brain and therefore actually has a lot more originally than i expected
#for example the teen criminal prodigy mastermind is an extremely chatty extrovert#and i somewhat doubt i would have written him like that if i had known who kaz brekker was#also none of the main characters have magic! probably bc it's a generic spellcasting world but i am quite curious about why did that#and there's a very fun plot twist about the guy they were hired to rob that i'm actually pretty pleased with#anyway. lots of stuff to retool or elaborate on but i definitely do want to write it someday#the characters and premise are pretty fun and that's really what matters#pie says stuff#my writing#thief story

LMAO but also the tags DUDE
Reverse Robin au but the ages aren't changed. Just adoption order.
#How would that-#actually no#I know exactly how this would work all things considered#A very young Duke (3 or so) is found in the wreckage of the Joker's recent attack with a cheap gasmask across his face#Too young to understand why his mom and dad kept laughing and laughing even as they were crying until their eyes closed one last time#And never woke up#It's hard to not feel your heart break when a child so much younger than he was looks up to batman from where he stands at his mother's sid#Asking with big glassy confused eyes why mommy won't wake up#Bruce is terrified that he will ruin it all#That what is quite possibly the kindest child he's ever met will turn out a bitter tired man like him#But as the months go on he finds his worry unfounded#Duke grows up as a sweetheart and the media never gets more than a glance at him#And somewhere in the intervening years he makes friends with their neighbour despite sharing no classes with him#In part because he's two years his senior. In part because the little child prodigy is eight years old and already in fifth grade classes#He has parents of his own. Yet little Tim always miraculously ends up tugged by the sleeve to Mr. Wayne's house every weekend and holiday#It'll be many years until he's a member of the family in name#but he fits in like a missing puzzle piece anyways#Even as a pair of new heartbeat joins them all when Bruce shows up after a long mission with a precious little bundle in his arms#with a little girl quiet as the night and dangerous as death clinging to the back of his cape#Along the line a few secrets are found and a couple new vigilantes rise and find their little nooks and crannies in the world of superheroe#Nothing stays perfect forever though. Tim joins the family permanently only to be ripped away again.#It's then of course#in one of Batman's worst moments#That a teenager barely scratching sixteen pulls him off some petty thief or other screaming at him to stop#Jason Todd screams and yells and forces Bruce to stand up and remember what he stood for.#Somewhere along the way a new vigilante rises in Gotham. No longer a symbol of hope or protection now#but as a symbol of justice#Someone in the shadows ready to avenge those that couldn't be saved#And then Nightwing happens. And then Tim shows back up.#....ngl I did not plan this far but if anyone reads this madness hope you enjoy this stub of a story

So, last night I was thinking about FF14 and Skyrim again.
Specifically, my feelings of "I played this game all day - do I feel like I actually did anything today, or not".
If I manage to play Skyrim for basically a full day (instead of some random burst of an hour), I usually feel like I've "advanced the story" of that character, gotten better gear, established the character's personality a little bit (doing X instead of Y, prioritizing this quest over that, commentary through regular gameplay, etc).
So I don't necessarily feel like I "did a lot of things today", but it does feel like there's an "accomplished" feeling, kind of.
If I play FF14 a full day, I feel like-... It feels a bit as if I've watched a really long movie (especially if I played MSQ)? It's a sometimes-good movie, so I don't necessarily regret it, but... that's it. Between the queues for dungeon-diving and travel-time, a lot of the gameplay really amounts to "watch a cutscene".
So, I learn new stuff about FF14-lore, I might get inspired into creating a fancy new outfit for a class, and... a few numbers go up? The aftermath of playing FF14 really does feel as if I've spent the day watching a weirdly prolonged movie.
#a part of me keeps making annoyed noises and saying ''just buy the fucking game already''#bcs then i'll have bigger caps available. more outfits. etc. but then i remember that it's a subscription.#a subscription that will lock this character forever if i stop paying the fee. and suddenly i REALLY don't wanna.#and the fact that i keep feeling as if ''this is a movie - not a chance to create new and interesting characters''?#it definitely pushes ff14 closer towards something like no-character-creation The Witcher and actual-railroading Divinity 2#and... yeah. mmos aren't exactly famous for letting you develop ''interesting characters'' in the story or whatever#but that's usually bcs there isn't a LOT of story. and it's usually very ''start a new character''-friendly#which ff14 is very much designed AGAINST (you can do all the classes as one character. msq is really fucking long. etc)#so despite how deeply invested ff14 is in its own story. it almost feels like the player isn't allowed to INTERACT with it.#skyrim has many faults (many many faults) in its story. but usually there's an ability to pick and choose what parts to interact with.#i could play as a thief and NOT join the thieves guild. i could ignore the civil war. or alduin. or miraak.#i can even make a choice sometimes to pick a side (dawnguard/vampires. empire/stormcloaks.)#there are even some daedric quests that allow for ''murder the innocents or get cool new item''-choices.#do those choices matter a lot as far as gameplay is concerned? not really. but for a character-story? it's incredible.#so ff14 has this whole world of amazing things. and you HAVE to play through msq to see it.#and msq doesn't really allow you to be anything other than ''heroic and steadfast warrior'' with MAYBE a bit of flavor-text mixed in.#which would be fine in most mmos. bcs the story is such a small part of the game. but ff14 has a FUCKTON of story.#so... you get to choose what your character looks like. and then you get to see them in lots of cutscenes.#bcs you don't really have any control over WHO this character of yours really is. just what they're wearing.#so yeah. it ends up feeling a lot like i've just watched a movie. not done something ''creative'' for character-building.#ff14#skyrim#personal stuff#video games#rants

little reading update btw
i finished fgep and interpreter of maladies and i'm reading qjj now along with the catcher in the rye
#i'm going very slow with qjj compared to my usual pace because the politics are hard to follow sometimes and i can't keep track of everyone#it's good though like the politics are intriguing just a bit confusing#i'm on chapter 60 i think#it's been like a week and a half since i started reading#i love ding tao he's my silly#also i like books like interpreter of maladies because they're not difficult or long reads and they're full of little short stories#i like books that are a bunch of short stories#also reading historical danmei and baihe made me realize that i just like historical fiction#i used to think that fantasy was my fav genre but that didn't feel right to me because fantasy books are kinda hard for me to get into#it's definitely not dystopia i can't stand dystopia for some reason#but after reading stuff like the book thief i realized that i just like historical settings#like certain types of romance tropes would disgust me if they were set in the modern day world but i think wouldn't mind them if they were#set in the past#snow.txt

Out with grim takes, in with meaningful delving into the genre and its problems.
Why is it whenever people "deconstruct" superheroes it's never a criticism of any of the many things actually wrong with the genre? Like there's never any shots taken at the women in refrigerators thing or the total lack of meaningful stakes or the static characters or the bloated, convoluted clusterfuck storytelling or the desperate appealing exclusively to shitlord teenaged boys. Instead every single time it's just "get this... what if Superman were a baby killing rapist? IS YOUR MIND BLOWN YET?! It is so clever because normally he is not that."
#like WHY are 3/4 of the heroes just white guys that use violence on criminals#i mean. we know why#but superheroes are basically the “one good man with a gun” trope but with super-strength#i bet if we punch a purse thief it'll solve the world's problems!#but a story about superman trying to lobby government for equitability and justice and equal access etc. would be boring to read#or it would just be Red Son...
