Wild has VERY different vibes from Beast and Witch imo

When stemming from Beast, Wild comes off as someone desperately trying to go against their own desire to hurt someone they care about. She has been hurt and hurt you more in response. Her last ditch effort to fix the pain she's caused and heal the pain she's experienced becomes codependent and shaky. A relationship built off faint memories of what you and she once were

I think saving Wounded Wild is the only satisfying result with Beast for me bc of this. The consumption from Beast feels much more forced than dying with Witch, so Beast version of The Wild as a result also feels more forced. It doesn't feel like something that results from trying to fix a mutual toxicity, but rather someone trying to fix their own mistakes but stripping themselves and someone else of their individuality in the process.

When splitting apart but freeing her, you show her she can still make things right, and you can both still be your own individuals. You can both still heal as two separate people

But Wild from Witch feels like trying to fix a toxic relationship that's rapidly falling apart due to pent-up resentment and distrust. You've hurt her. And she's hurt you. And you can either put that hatred aside try to relive the times where things were better, even if just to grasp at one small victory. Or you can cut things off and end the toxicity without the risk of making things worse, and losing yourselves

Witch version of Wild feels like something the both of you are responsible for. Something you both caused to happen. A feeble attempt at solidarity from both that will fall apart the second one of you remember the pain you've caused each other.

I also think that it being more from mutual hatred and pain, I can fuck with Networked Wild when stemming from Witch. Still prefer saving Wounded overall though

People who say this are literally saying that they prefer for the workers to all be inexperienced and desperately looking for other jobs. But they somehow also expect good service.

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

Just donated another $12 from mushroom sticker purchases to Balsam's fundraiser. If you want to donate directly to help her family evacutate Gaza, here is the link. I'll be donating all funds from my mushroom-themed online shop to evacuee fundraisers for the foreseeable future. I've chosen to promote this specific one because my friend, Katie @polystyrenewoman is putting in a lot of time and energy to help her friend Balsam and her family. Please consider donating to this and similar fundrasiers to help Palestinian families escape genocide!

I opened my copy of The Tale of the Body Thief & immediately had to close it again because of this silly little annotation

Can I say something is it finally safe to say that I don't find the popular trend of white people on this site who aren't muslim saying inshallah for jokes funny and I never did

Look upon my beast who tries to bolt out the front door

This is my lifestyle brand. From King Grimalkum and Pussyanita or, the Cats’ Arabian Nights by Abby Morton Diaz, 1881. The accompanying text reads, "The grandma woman used to hold me, and speak softly to me, and if I jumped on her shoulder she never pushed me off and said 'scat!'. If I jumped up there when she was eating breakfast she let me stay, and let me taste of her breakfast." 🥰
