i love that the house has different ways to communicate with Nina and Eddie.

Nina gets vague whispers with a touch of dreams.

Meanwhile Eddie gets his head blasted with that’s-so-raven-style visions.

the house said, “he’s a visual learner”

i feel like they basically tried to transpose the storyline/dynamic btwn coa and mary boleyn from tobg in tsp (with coa and bessie blount) and realllly overdid what was already well-done and entertaining.

I was thinking about this the other day and wondering why it’s become so much less fun to write for BNHA and I think it’s because… I’ve written too much?

Like being a one-off author was fine and fun and novel and people were so cool and supportive, but now I’ve got multiple long fics and people have started treating me like someone that “creates content” rather than someone who is writing for fun. And I’ve shot myself in the foot by continuing to write long-fic and putting my heart and soul into them and it’s like never enough, people just expect more and more and more and I want to keep giving and keep doing better but no matter what I write it’s just not ENOUGH

And like… this started a little after I finished Zero Sum Game but like… people have started forming “opinions” that they share openly about “me” - I can’t stand going into fandom space and seeing people say they can’t read anything I write, or they don’t like me as an author, openly ranking my works, saying xyz is overrated or mention me by name in shipping discourse or send me hate mail or update requests or just straight up telling me they’re not going to read what I write anymore… and these people don’t know me!!! I’m just an empty space to them!!! Just a machine that pumps out thousands on thousands of words to just look at an forget about instantly!!!!!!!!

Where do people get off honestly. Is it like this everywhere or is it just BNHA? Is it because it’s so popular that the community has broken down completely? Sincerely what the fuck how can anyone treat writers like this…

I just wanted to enjoy my eggs and toast this morning.

Instead, i get a book length email personally tailored to me from a man who is upset his film didn’t get selected for the festival i work for and he think it’s my fault as I am the programming coordinator. Never mind the fact that it’s not in my job description - i don’t have the personal last say in anything lol

Here’s my favorite passages and mind y’all, it’s not even close to all the other stuff he wrote:

“I have looked through your experience and frankly do not see the appropriate accolades to hold such a position, other than your social queerness. Your words not mine”

“Your accolades include a B.A. in visual anthropology but it’s obvious does not know film history” (he can’t fucking spell and his grammar is atrocious)

“And how, (my name) was selected as programming coordinator for a major US film festival and given the ability to control the fate of blood, sweat and tears made films?” (Which is false as fuck sir that’s not my job lmao)

“If you’d like to discuss anthropology, please allow me.” & “i have personally spent my entire life studying visual anthropology”

He went through my website and pulled information about me, attempted to use that as a way to discredit me and the job title i hold, and basically said I’m unfit and not qualified to do the work that i do.

i think i’m going to start reading more books like the thorn birds rather than trying to force myself to get into the romance novels that are coming out now because i’m having soooo much more fun. writers in the 70s truly did not give an iota of a fuck about how their works would be perceived so they wrote whatever they wanted, whereas i think writers nowadays have an air of being apologetic for the story they want to tell. “i know murder is bad so i’m going to write three pages of how he can justify this to himself (and most importantly to the audience) so you guys don’t hate him!” FLOP

not the real life embargo on talking abt Panathir

do y’all still wanna read my stuff

rebirth vol 4 is affecting me to the point that i’ve been calling my friends so i could read the entire thing to them like a bedtime story. the themes, the parallels, the horror and camp and campy horror…. i keep finding new things in every reread, it’s the gift that keeps on giving

i thought that finally finishing it would be the running start to reading more comics, i even got another flash comic as a reward for myself, but i just end up reading rebirth again 😭 i’m in a damn timeloop w this thing

and i got another readalong call tmrw too, so i better get my thawne voice ready 😓

Uh this may be a very silly question but can I ask what you think of something that includes material from one of the Bleach light novels? Disclaimer, I haven't read them currently but I mean I still know some elements, but I don't want to spoil stuff? I'm fairly sure it's alright but I'm also not actually sure so still asking

I can’t guarantee we’ll be able to speak to things that heavily concern light novel stuff—I haven’t read them; I think my co-blogger has read a few, but it was a while back—but rest assured we’re not at all concerned about spoilers! This is the media website where people talk about media. (I was going to write “media that exists” but lol it doesn’t even have to do that for it to get talked about on Tumblr. 😂)

most of the time virginia does not exist. cus i think nyo america going through the 1780s-1800s alone while spiraling into unhealthy isolationist coping is a very amusing thought

I am trying so hard to save money lately, but it is so hard, especially when there are so many things that make me want to spend. the latest temptation is that I really would love to participate in a Make-Along this spring, but don’t know if I can justify spending $60+ on the yarn kit for it (especially when I already have a whole closet-full of yarn from my workplace from when we had a big inventory clear-out last year)

I really love your GOTG 3 post about Gamora!! I think it's fantastic, and I really love all the character development everyone had in the film, I thought the ending was extremely well done and necessary- they all need time to grow on their own.

Oh, thank you <3 Yes, I agree that the way James handled their story arcs while also dealing with the consequences they faced in IW/EG was — as you said — well executed! Of course, I would have some details changed, but overall I truly was fond of how he told us their last story.

(”Last story” I mean in the screen ‘cause they’ll keep growing on their own, but still as a family, as long as they’re alive; even if we don't see this process!)

Sometimes I get too big for my britches and think that joining a fantasy/sci-fi discussion group is a good idea

Usually only takes a day before I realize my folly and repent (delete myself from the group as fast as possible)

The Crowley and Amara thing as it was in canon was very much a complete disaster but part of the reason I so strongly prefer Amara as Crowley’s kid conceptually over him having anything to do with Gavin is because I really prefer the idea of Crowley choosing to be a parent on his own terms because he wants to have a relationship like that, and not out of any sort of forced obligation.
