The devil whispering in my ear telling me to spite some of my friends who don't like Shadow, i should probably ignore him-

Go watch the Dark Beginnings sneak peak, boy! Gaze upon the art and epicness and CINEMATIC VISUALS Shadow's short is getting

What if the plant body hadn't worked out, and the Holy Mausoleum solution had actually taken a long time to sort of "fix" Shen Qingqiu's body and fully call his soul back to it, so that hundreds of years passed and civilization in PIDW/SV world progressed to the point of something like the "modern era"?

Imagine Luo Binghe trying to delicately introduce his shizun to such strange concepts as smart phones and credit cards, while Shen Qingqiu is just desperately trying to figure out how dumb he should play this. Would it be believable for him to get everything on the first try? There have to be some differences between what he knows and this world's versions, right, because of the demons and cultivators and things? Right?? But it's not like any of this actually IS difficult for him to grasp!

Luo Binghe: Shizun already discerned how to type using a keyboard...?

Shen Qingqiu, sweating bullets: what, like it's hard?

We could make Sqq a transformer in his past life. Like optimus prime sorta transformer. Cybertronian.

He'd be the only surviving seeker (winged guy) on the autobots side (I don't know all the canons but I don't think they have, like, any). Pretty young when the war started - unfathomably ancient for humans, the kiddie of the group to them.

And he arrives on earth. Discovers the Internet. Immediately gets hooked on critiquing stupid Web novels in every language, which being a sentient machine he can do at great speed without forgetting anything. Decides to read the final chapter during a battle because he's so close to the end and airplane had better pull SOMETHING good. Is so infuriated (distracted) by the ending he messes up and immediately gets killed by some low level decepticon. After FIVE MILLION years of war he gets offed by some loser over a stupid human story that wasn't even very good. He dies SO furious.

And then he gets reborn a human.

He is, as the kids say, big mad.

How by Primus do they do anything??

incoming rant about accents in writing

i am begging mario fanfic writers to stop adding -a to every other word that Mario and Luigi say. we know they have an accent. you don't have to spell it out. it legitimately pulls me out of the story every single time and i have to stop and breathe for a sec before i can keep going while trying to ignore it.

maybe describe their accents instead?? I would much rather read "a lilting and musical cadence" once than "don't-a you think-a so" every time they have dialogue.

believe me when i say this is a criticism coming from a place of love. i know we all grew up reading jk terf's awful transcriptions of french and cockney accents, but I know we can move past that behavior. it takes so much less effort to just write the words normally.

and this goes for any character with an accent in any work, tbh. I'm pretty sure anyone with an obviously-foreign accent is already self-conscious about it enough; there's no need to laser-focus on an accent like that in writing. you may not be doing it to intentionally mock anybody but to me it very much comes off that these characters are not taken seriously, because it so blatantly points out their difference in speech, and that's usually the first thing an immigrant is mocked for.

I love how the bats are known for having a million gadgets and being overprepared for anything meanwhile dick doesn’t have pockets

some sketches

based on @theicarusconstellation's writing

I keep thinking of details I left out and stuff I need to fix but if I let myself do that I'm going to go insane so we're leaving it at this

Also some Sirius because they're a fucking king and we love them (I very strongly hc them as genderqueer and using any pronouns, but specifically he/they/she/it)

The dress was a bit of a failure but hey it looks like fabric at least I think maybe

[ndostairlyrium]

I read a text post about a character and it had super surface level shit, but it was presented as "look at Frank from this angle", and it was just

frontal picture with one focus perspective kind of deal. It described information that was given blatantly in the game, however the post presented it as a revelation of some sort? Where's the angle?

But then I thought that maybe not all people are into said character, or maybe their focus was elsewhere while playing, or whatever. And like,

That's so not a big deal, I can't blame others for not getting something on the go, why should I go to my friends and laugh about them for not getting something that I saw and they didn't? Also, I may not even be right about Frank. How about that?

I remember back in the ME fandom people reading way too much into a beloved character, and when some of the universally accepted analyses were brought to their writer, their answer was "you're reading way too much into this".

Imagine asking something very basic to an expert out of genuine curiosity because you're not seeing what their trained eye sees, and their reaction would be laughing in your face and call you stupid. Except that nobody is an expert and you're asking for help on how to make cutouts

Isn't the most important thing that we're passionate about the same thing? Because like, the more I thought about my instinct of just, wanting to roast that post (and consequently the person) with my friends, the more I remembered seeing the same attitude around, frequently, and lately it's so severe that it prompted others to make polls on feeling stupid for enjoyed things (the number of people picking yes, holy shit, that was heartbreaking)

I like Frank, they like Frank, maybe we should focus on this rather than bringing out the pedestals, and I'm talking to myself first because I tend to do this when I like something so intensely that my perspective becomes The Perspective(TM). And it isn't.

-

tl;dr: feeling superior on something to the point of wanting to shame others for approaching the same topic in a different way isn't cute

The "normal theatre = straight plays, musical theatre = gay plays" by the TCB made me laugh so much.

two people having sex can also be a threesome in spirit, if you believe

[akechis-special-case]

So uh, I just finished a oneshot (I will publish later today). And I had fun with it. A lot. It also made me realize the yearning.

They might be so back! No this is not a drill!

Not just that but I come back to them every once in a while which could be a sign (including Arashi and Tsukasa but they are platonics). I'll wait it out before adding hastily to my list again but it may be likely. Also I am just unleashing Enstars brain juices I kept bottled up for way too long... Will you all forgive me for this potential relapse?

Also yes this means I will involve the ProSekai collab. I kept up with that at least and no, I was not normal while I did. My ProSekai boys interacting with Enstars guys!? And Izumi was in the collab!? And other favs of mine too!? Of course I have a lot of thoughts!

Toya is also my little bro btw. Izumi was obligated by a contract to be nice to Toya or else I would have sent a certain someone for his kneecaps /lh
