i feel like people will start pelting me with rocks as soon as i say it but i did not like what the writers did with rhaenyra and mysaria this episode. i have nothing against sapphic representation in stories. i just think it would have way more meaning if the relationship wasn't a half-assed idea thrown in at the last minute for the sake of getting brownie points.
the decision to have them kiss makes no sense to me because a) rhaenyra did not like this woman (you know, the ex-mistress of her husband??) and only barely tolerated her because of daemon, and b) rhaenyra idolised daemon all her life and loved him way too much to cheat on him. the entire scene just feels like another attempt by the writers to appease the fans instead of wanting to stay true to the story martin wrote. there are other canonically queer characters you could bring more attention to instead of doing the bare minimum for the sake of representation.
i feel like whatever narrative choices the writers are making are either for shock value or to appease the fans. house of the dragon is just a poorly written fanfiction of fire and blood at this point. because they're not adapting the characters and the story martin wrote but creating their own headcanons. and it's frustrating to see such a good story be disrespected like that again.
pls do not hate me for this because i know a lot of you are happy and feel represented because of that scene. I'm just frustrated with the show and the writing and wanted to express it. i swear i don't hate queer people 😭.
#the writers have strayed so far from canon that it doesn't even feel like an adaptation anymore#I'm tired of shitty adaptations ruining my favorite books#write your own new story for your movies/shows and leave my books alone 😭#anti hotd#hotd spoilers#hotd s2#hotd season 2#hotd#rhaenyra targeryan#team black#daemon targaryen#hotd meta#house of the dragon

They're elves of the shadowfell, normal human height. They specialize in teleportation and invisibility, with the casters among them throwing in confusion and fear and illusion. Be careful though, as any trained in combat start making non-elves slower and worse while within 10 feet. From depression, from the sound of it. Their angst about being more ancient and timeless than you wordlessly attaches to you like a parasite, slowing you down. Good for if you enjoy concepts like-
Shadows, but like DARKER than shadow, that lash out when they're moody
looking beautiful unless in shadow, in which case they're corpselike
ignoring pointless things like "comfort" and "morals" and "rules"
being the chosen of the Raven Queen, and on her behalf collecting dark tragedy, sorrow, and feelings of loss.
being corpse pale with jet black hair, pure black eyes, and covered with tattoos/piercings/anything that would make a generic white suburban mom in the 50's scream in terror.
Lumping them all together because they're all the same outside one having mage hand and such. Idc what weapon they're holding.
#closest I'm getting to saying something nice about them.#i don't even care.#I can withhold bias on near anything but not these and sun elves#its fine. I make you suffer by pitting your favorites against each other. getting these into the next tournament is only fair.#you know that giant anti-shadarkai rant I went on a few months ago?#how I thought whoever did this to thier lore probably rewrites Warhammer stories to remove the satire and humor?#apparently he actually did write warhammer books holy shit I called it.#seriously though I love basically all monsters but these I looooooooooathe.#not even touching how annoyed I am that the shadar kai WERE ALREADY A THING#Like they weren't even elves#they just went “hey we'll bring them back as elves because 33 is a reasonable number of elf species”#yet not a green version of goblins there's already like 3 that'd be absurd.#like no make your OWN name for the special elves version 33 that hit on par with a demon lord while being cr 7 for some reason#shadar kai#looked into it#dnd#dnd5e#DnD 5e#d&d#smash or pass#5e#monsters of the multiverse#mpmm

"Nico solo book should be a tragedy" disagree.
Nico was Rick Riordan's first canonically queer character, and the first book queer character a lot of my generation knew about as kids- it would be a huge slap on the face of his audience if his story ended as a tragedy, and Riordan knows that. Thats why solangelo has such a solid, healthy dynamic in the background of toa.
Of now, he's also one of very few pjo-verse characters to be basically confirmed mentally ill, and he's also really disabled in the text, whether its said or not.
Nico is a queer orphan who's entire storyline til toa was just tragedy after tragedy after goddamn tragedy, and who has JUST begun to heal. He deserves a happy ending.
More importantly, the audience- the queer, disabled, mentally ill kids who see themselves in him- deserve to see him be happy at the end.
To make his story a tragedy would be to validate Nico's (and Hades') belief that kids like him don't get a happy ending. That all we're made for is tragedy.
Rick Riordan first wrote The Lightning Thief so his adhd son could finally see himself in a hero. He keeps writing after his son is grown because he knows how much other kids need those stories- his students, even. He knows.
It's even in the narrative itself: it tells us upfront that Percy's mother called him Perseus because he was the only greek hero who got a happy ending.
Nico is the queer kid's original Perseus.
The reasoning follows that he must be happy.
#alex wont shut up#nico di angelo#pjo#hoo#toa#tsats#is that the acronym? ill be honest you guys idk#nico solo book#idc about will tbh#growing REAL tired of all the tragedy talk. gucking hell.#like you can like whatever you want and write your own fanfics but#sometimes theres a REASON for a story to exist#you cant just ignore it bc of whatever#pjo is a story about how the gods arent always right#its about surviving the odds#to NOT have Nico survive then. would defeat the fucking point

April 12th, 2024 Update - First Route is done!
Hello everyone here on tumblr, it's been a while! First thing's first, I pushed through this week and got the first route of the... second route, I guess, of Chapter 4 Part 4 done! It feels so good to be able to get that under my belt, and I can feel myself even now getting better at coding as I go on. Only two more to go and, honestly, I think I'll have this next part out by the end of the month.
After that, I'll work on some of the side stories for the time skip, get those out, get Kris's flsahback scene out, as well as a couple of other scenes that need written for the time skip, then it's on to the final chapter! I'm a bit proud at how fast this chapter has been going, considering all of the different routes that one can take with it.
If you'd like to see even more of my work though, I'd highly suggest going onto the PATREON BY CLICKING THE LINK HERE and supporting me there. I recently did a short story of a work I'm planning in the far future called Nameless Legends, which is going to be kind of a mix between the Fate/Zero series and Soul Eater series. There's also an AU short story of Team Leader Hawks and the PC of them being Supernatural Hunters! Even more than that, you can listen to an Audiobook Reading of The Bureau and, soon, I will be started an Audiobook reading of Defiled Hearts! (Given permission by the author, of course).
Just a small update to let you all know where things stand, and a reminder that having people on the Patreon is the easiest way for me to keep this going, and continue getting you guys the steady stream of updates that have been happening these past couple months. Thank you all so much for your support.
Stay Brilliant,
-Vi

in MDZS the novel, the innkeeper in Yunping mentions that people are too scared to go petition Yunmeng Jiang for help because someone once walked in on Sect Leader Jiang whipping a guy in the main hall, supposedly because the guy was a demonic cultivator.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#jc apologism#anyways as you can hopefully tell by now this is a jc stan blog.#so as a stan i will do my rightful stan duty and insist that my fave did nothing wrong#so. onwards. the “jiang cheng tortures demonic cultivators” claim is interesting on several levels#because we don't see it happen onscreen. and because thematically mdzs is a book about the unreliability of rumors#especially when said rumors conform to your preexisting understanding of someone. or what you want to hear about someone#it would have been so easy for mxtx to include a scene where jc tortures a demonic cultivator onscreen. i would love to read it too#but that doesnt happen. when jc actually corners wwx he just shoves a dog in his face and bullies him emotionally#smh jc get your shit together!! what is this lame ass display?? not living up to your reputation here loser#anyways. tbh i consider two things separately: 1. mxtx's intentions. and 2. what the text itself implies#for 1. i am legitimately unsure of what to think. mxtx relies on rumors/empathy/etc to give us info about side characters#in part because she's constrained herself to writing from wwx's perspective and has no other easy way of getting the info to us#does she intend for us to question the rumors? or are we supposed to take them as fact because of the narration limits described?#2. what the text itself implies is not necessarily the same as what mxtx intends.#for me mdzs is in part a story about the unreliability of rumors and reputation etc etc. other meta writers than i have explained it better#so for the work to go “all the rumors about wwx were exaggerated/manipulated/not 100% correct.”#“but the rumors about everyone else are 100% true!!!!!”#is peak stupidity. and shit-tier writing#and i actually like mdzs so i would like to believe the writer is more intelligent than that#thus. i conclude in part due to this emotional necessity of mine that there must have been something more going on#anyways. i have similar opinions about the “did jiggy kill rusong” business but that's a post for later#ill probably put my jc torture opinions in their own post some day#yanyan polls

I'm also just thinking about how people's frustration with The Bear this season in general and not just with SydCarmy is so indicative of how little people understand about story writing.
I got my BA in fiction writing which doesn't make me the world's leading expert or anything but I know enough to know that The Bear is exceptionally well-written and most of the complaints about this season stem from not knowing anything about writing a story.
And on top of this, the same people who don't know anything about writing a story are used to consuming really bad stories because right now, we're in one of the worst eras of television and honestly, writing in general, ever.
Because right now there's no expectation or requirement for a show or book to be well-written before production or publication. There's no requirement for it to actually be good, or for it to even make any sense at the writing level. All that matters is that people will watch it or read it and since people can't tell the difference between good writing and bad writing and largely aren't watching or reading for that reason anyway, who cares?
It's just an endless cycle.
Audiences don't recognize nor want good writing > Producers and publishers don't require nor pursue good writing > Writers that ultimately become successful can't nor need to write well > And the cycle starts over.
And because people are so used to bad writing, and can’t tell the difference between good and bad writing, and don’t want good writing anyway, when a show like The Bear comes around, a show that doesn’t hold their hand and explain everything to them or doesn’t spoon-feed them exactly what they want, a show that isn’t going to sacrifice the narrative through-line just to cut to the romantic chase - people are not only confused but pissed.
And then the most frustrating part of all this is that people then come to the conclusion the writer’s are bad at writing.
It is so bleak to be an aspiring writer right now, I swear.
#the bear#sydcarmy#being a hater#does no one remember game of thrones? how I met your mother? Episodes 7-9 of Star Wars?#those are just the ones I can think of right now but there are many#this is what I mean by being in an era of bad writing#shows and movies and books by people who don’t understand their own craft#aren’t you tired?#don’t you want more?#don’t you think you deserve more?#I can’t tell you how much fucking hope the bear gives me#how much of a relief it is to see writers with a clear understanding of their own story#and the ability and willingness to follow through on it#thank god#I’m so serious#thank god a show like this exists even though no one will appreciate it

Nesta Archeron deserves so much better than to be used as a constant vessel for the author and a bunch of bat boy 🍆 obsessed crazies to live their shallow self insert fantasies. Like as an older sister who gets told all the time to be nicer, smile more and control that temper i get her so much and I will forever hate how her most major character traits are completely disregarded and erased both by the author and her stans [derogatory]. Honestly all three of the sisters deserve so much better than having an author and a fandom that's so male centric and is ready to morph them into people they are not and shit on them for male characters who are either objectively worse or just the most BORING.
#nesta#nesta archeron#anti sjm#anti acosf#anti nesta stans#coz fuck off y'all will your garbage ass takes on her#where you are dishonest on purpose and erase whatever little characterization she had in book 1 (a major part of her story!!)#also fuck maas for whatever tf acosf was#and for using nesta to live her own wet dreams of cassian#GO WRITE A DAMN EROTICA!!! LEAVE THESE GIRLS ALONEEE#that's it I'm taking feyre elain and nesta's custody from sjm AND gatekeeping them from y'all clowns#I've had enough. I'm tired of being mean to nesta bcz of her fandom (especially when they don't even like her 😭)

"If the structure of your world ever evaporates, I will still be here."
I think The Q might contain one of the greatest declarations of friendship/love ever.
#books#the q#beth brower#this seems clunkier out of context but trust me in context it's very moving#they're discussing how quincy's entire world is wrapped up in work#so even if she likes the people there if the business somehow disappeared she probably wouldn't see them again#because they all have other family/friends to go to and she doesn't really have any#leading to this promise#and let me tell you it's just about enough to make me believe in found family#because this works as a romantic or platonic declaration#it's a promise#a commitment to provide safety and stability when there's nowhere else to go#and i love it#this book is so odd because i liked it quite a bit last year#then rereading i was at first like 'why did i like this at all?'#there's no scene-setting or character description it's just kind of stuff there#but then the relationship starts to develop and i am SO invested#under normal rules it shouldn't take 100 pages for the story to get good but in this case it's worth it#it's such an odd structure#each chapter is almost like its own little short story#or a character sketch#almost like the character have stopped to discuss their own character worksheet#but in context it somehow works#and it drives home how much traditional publishing and writing rules stifle creativity#because your average editor would look at this and try to smooth it over#make it all into one flowing narrative#and it would lose so much of what makes it unique and compelling#following the rules of 'good writing' robs you of all the stories that don't follow those rules#there is so much scope outside of the one 'best practice' that is currently in fashion#and those stories need to get told too!

Op turned off reblogs but I 1000% agree
#not my post#booktok#anti booktok#like im not mad at “bad literature” im mad they want us to pay $20 for stuff written just as schlocky as unedited un-beta'd#written at 3 in the morning fan fic but without half the soul put into it and without establishing an actual character#and not just a bunch of tag lines#and that everyone else is expected to write the same way in order to sell anything!!!!#it makes me so smad. melancholy. fuckin morose and devastated that books are being pushed towards being formulaic#the point of a book is to tell a story Your way - in Your Own Words and hopefully you get weird about it!!!!!!

How easily you can screw up your timetable by writing interactive fiction, pt. 1:
I made it so that at a certain point, in a certain scene, MC could lose their backpack.
Result of this: I have to go back and change more than a dozen parts of code to make it consistent with other scenes where the backpack might be mentioned.
(All this because I like to make the story highly customised and as realistic as possible. Damn. I should give y'all a simpler, more straightforward story ffs 😒)

ngl, mentioning one of my hyperfixations does not necessarily activate my trap card. mentioning a book or media that I LOATHED, on the other hand,
#dieselpunkd informed me she also hated station eleven and OHHHHH MY GOD#station eleven book 🤝 annihlation movie: critically acclaimed stories that FUCKING SUCK ASS#I only do not have opinions on station eleven show cuz I refused to even look at tumblr gifs of it. I loathed the book that much.#'omg this book is so preSCIENT!!1!1!' it literally was NOT#and it was also just. bad. it was badly written.#it felt like it did not actually believe that a reader would take its premise and stakes seriously#which severely undercut my ability as a reader to take them seriously! like bruh you gotta believe in yourself!#stop using hollow sensationalism and obfuscation to convince me that your stakes are high! just tell me how it is and let me believe it!#too many people write for cinemasins dumbasses and that is the HIGHEST cinema sin of all actually#like if you don't believe in your own premise why the fuck should I.
