[ common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing ]
You didn't pick a fandom so I've decided that the perfectly hinged option is to talk about fandoms in general; so here goes.
I'm deeply tired of complaints about abundances. "Why is there so much of ship X", "Why are there so many fics about Y"... And I get the frustration, I really do - it's so often I wish some concept that looks so interesting in my head was more explored, instead of everyone just repeating the popular fanon. But!
This specific way of complaining about it is just... THE most counterproductive. Because there's an obvious answer to that "why?" and it's "because people find it interesting". And saying that something a person is interested in is bad and annoying is, unsurprisingly, NOT going to make them abandon something they like and switch to whatever the complainer wants to see. At best, they'll just think the complainer is kind of an ass and keep on doing whatever they were doing; at worst, it can over time chip at their willingness to engage with that particular fandom at all. And then there's just less fancontent overall, and still no things the complainer wanted in the first place.
(As an aside, there's a similar phenomenon I see when people engage with queer media, where basically a silly indie game with queer rep will be picked the fuck apart for what it does not have, instead of, you know, being celebrated for what it did portray well. Because tearing into every queer game that comes out absolutely does not lead to more queer games with other types of rep! It's ridiculous that ppl do not seem to see that!)
And the thing is, it's very easy to take the sentiment behind such complaint, and then do positive things with it - things which, I dare say, will benefit the fandom as a whole. And it all starts with rewording that complaint. Instead of saying "there's too much of concept A", say "I would love to see concept B explored", or, "I love it when people explore concept B". Someone who had not thought of B before might consider it and become interested. Someone who thought of it but was worried it wouldn't be well-received will feel validated. Someone who did explore it will be happy - and might even pop into comments with a rec! Seriously: just channeling that frustration into a call for more content, instead of saying there's too much content, makes it more pleasant to see and more likely to actually net the reaction the complainer wants.
(It's like... reverse 'two cakes' almost. Instead of complaining you hate chocolate cake, say you wish there was a vanilla one too. Maybe someone who was afraid their vanilla cake wouldn't be well received will be running to you with it.)
After that, there's of course the option of uplifting the fanworks that do [whatever it is] right - hyping them up, spreading the word, writing the author a long-ass comment. And one can always cook their own meals too! Yes, even if one isn't a creative; sometimes a screenshot of canon material with a short comment is all it takes to make the gears in someone else's head turn. (Spoken as someone who definitely did get ideas from exactly such posts.)
Anyway, tl;dr: I wish ppl would stop complaining there's too much of [some fandom content], and started to channel that energy into hyping up the content they would like to see. This would be more productive, and just plain more pleasant for everyone involved.

2 in 1 uquizzes
I got tagged by my love @josephseedismyfather and now I'm finally gonna catch up to it! Thank you sm for thinking of me with all the tags 💖 I chose my OC Diah Talugmai (Citras and Vaas' mother) and Carlos for these tags. I know, he's not really my OC, but technically we don't have any information of him besides his name being dropped in the far cry experience, soooo at least how I imagined his character to be kind of is my OC, if that makes sense? Idk 😂
Again, of course tagging without pressure and only with love in mind 🥰 @piratekingvaas @jasonsnowwhitebrody @vaasonsson @insanityofvaas @merryandrewsworld @blaze13full @littlemissawry @alexredgrave @ball-pen
What is your OCs true role in the story?
Diah Talugmai
The Fallen Prodigy
Hello old friend, it's been a while hasn't it? I remember when you were just a child, gape-smiled and beaming like the sun. Where have you laid your youth to rest my love? Is it buried beside your heart perhaps? I know how deeply life has wounded you, it took away everything, didn't it? Oh poor soul, you held onto happiness with bloody, shaking hands but still fate ripped even that away from you. Your past lovers are dead or did some betray you? Turning away in fear of what they once admired. Your comrades have been slain, or their priorities shifted. I've heard you too have changed your way of thought. The people fear you know, do they normally cower at the sound of your name? Ah don't fret, that makes two of us. the masses tend to despise the things they do not have the will to comprehend. The villian finds sympathy for you don't they, well I could have seen that from a mile away. You two are the oldest friends, you made a deal with them correct? To save your late love, they tried to hold their end of the bargain, really, but I fear you are cursed to forever be despondent. Oh what a sad and miserable life without love. Is that why you chase loneliness? For is it truly a life of sorrow if you yourself has chosen it? But don't become bitter from the pain. Trust when I say I have seen wounds unfold a man, turning the gentlest spirits into seething beasts. Please, keep seeking love, even if it seems you are forbidden from it. You are the master of your own fate, I see how tired you are. the scars never healed, they twist and wrap around your entire person. Your eyes are dark and lifeless, rest. But keep fighting, not with the sword you have forsaken so long ago, but with your heart. I'll be rooting for you my friend.
The "Oh" quiz
Carlos
the first meeting
Life is normal. It's scripted. It's functional. Then one day, you meet them, and... Oh. You fix your posture, you're a little nervous, and it's totally possible you're just projecting -- But this could be something. And the only thing that makes this different from the hundreds of other times you had that exact same thought only to be disappointed is... This is the time that counts. Things change. You were looking for someone whose very existence re-contextualized yours. Which is not to say that you were incomplete, but... aren't we all? Isn't that the essence of being a being who changes? And what completes us if not the love of something or someone beyond us? Sure it's still new, and anything could happen from here, but there's something in your shared brain chemistry that makes it feel like good things are in motion. How exciting!
How intresting are these results? I think both of them fit pretty well and I actually was plenty surprised that Diah got the same result as my friends @josephseedismyfather OC Harley Jane. And tbh j think it fits them both very well, but for entirely different reasons!
Also for Carlos I think it's a pretty good fit, tho obviously you guys don't know yet what's in the cards for him 😁
#that you for thinking of me!!#i got tagged#❤️❤️#my OC#Diah Talugmai#for the lost souls#carlos#Narcotic#far cry 3

Get to know me! 2!
Tagged by @katsigian and @spicyraeman again, thank you so much you two 😁
1. Are you named after anyone?
I'm named after one of my mom's closest friends. Growing up she was Big E and I was Little E.
2. When was the last time you cried?
A week ago, I wasn't doing too hot in the brain space.
3. Do you have kids?
I have a fur baby. No plans to have real children.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Unfortunately 🤣
5. What sports do you play/have you played?
I am not a sport person. I played what I was forced to play in school gym class and that was it.
6. What's the first thing you notice about other people?
Their general aesthetic. There's a lot of variety and diversity out there, people are fun to look at and watch. I don't really approach or talk to people often so what they look like is about all I notice.
7. Eye color?
Bluish green? I guess
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings, I'm not a fan of horror films.
9. Any special talents?
Panicking about little things, that's a talent right? Otherwise no, nothing that stands out. I used to be able to toss pizza dough but that was years ago.
10. Where were you born?
Frankfurt, Germany. My parents were deployed overseas at the time.
11. What are your hobbies?
Playing videogames, VP on occasion, sometimes I doodle when I'm feeling like it. Eventually I'll be picking up camping and hiking.
12. Do you have any pets?
A kitty cat. Three once we're in a bigger place.
13. How tall are you?
A whopping 5'4" (162cm)
14. Fave subject in school?
Art, History if the teacher was any good.
15. Dream job?
One that won't wear me to the bone, and pays enough to travel when I'd like.
Tagging, again with no obligation, @saevus-brutalis @ugh-my-back @k9effect @thesavagemuffin @alexredgrave

5, 22 for the CP2077 OC meme
Oh damn, okay!
5) are they religious or spiritual in any way?
Not religious, no. Being born in Heywood, there was obviously always the Valentino presence and the religion backing them, but his family did not particularly push it. With the way things are, Vince falls in the agnostic range. He won’t flat out tell you there’s no God, but he sure isn’t seeing any good proof.
Spiritual, in a way. He likes to try to throw what good he can out into the world because, why not? At best, he’ll have some good karma come back his way. At worst, well, he wasn’t a total asshole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He also takes to Misty when he journeys back to NC, likes getting his tarot read and hearing her opinions on the world. Once he’s with Kerry, he also likes to be filled in on the advice Kerry’s guru has for him. Most of it isn’t bad.
22) do they like to cook for themselves, or eat out? do they prefer restaurants or street food? and how do they feel about vending machine food?
My boy’s a nomad, so he knows how to cook for himself with whatever he has lying around. Will it be good? Eh, sometimes. Will it be Not Bad? Most of the time. He enjoys cooking when he can, and it’s something he misses when he’s back in NC with no kitchen. I like to think he and Mama Welles cook together occasionally :)
Street food has more of the vibe he’s used to with Nomad food, but Jackie and Kerry get him into diner food as well. It’s a special occasion kind of thing, though.
He hates vending machine food but, beggars can’t be choosers. Any chance he has to avoid it, he does. But he definitely puts the burrito vending machine in his apartment to use a few times (grumbling and upset as he does).
Thanks for asking about Vince!

Well, mermay was two months ago, so take these illustrations for what they are: just a weird fanservice of our rdo characters.
During the mermay I also wasted some time to answer to a little question my friends and I made while we were playing. How would our outlauws look as mermaids?
That's the answer. Each of them is associated with a fish you can catch in the game.

About the Cyberpunk 2077 post: that scene at the beginning of the game is only for the street kid origin, I believe. However there are another 2 graphic depictions during the (not mandatory but important) side mission "chippin' in".

WIP Music Monday
On a actual monday. Call me kind of blogging. Got tagged by the baby @josephseedismyfather ❤️ thank you so very much!
Narcotic
Chyeah
They been waitin' for me
Hahaha
What the fuck? The fuck?
Feel the mornin' on my face
Ain't a pill that I didn't take
Just a lifetime 'cause it's been a long day
'Cause I'ma sleep when I R.I.P, ba-da-ba-dum
Flashbacks, relapses
Camera flash and don't forget your hashtag
Rucksack, uh, white stacks
You're a dead man, had better rid of that gat
You gonna run game, it don't ever run you, uh
When they bitchin' on your name, you say, "Fuck you too, too"
You say fuck a court case, give detective no clues, clues
'Cause I'm Indiana J when I'm trippin' on the juice
Well, let's get real quiet
Feel so, feel so stupid
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah-yeah, talk to me
'Bout to make a big deal, uproar
And I'm in for the kill, La Roux
Bitches lookin' like a meal, contour
Percocetin' 'til we can't feel no more
And I smoked somethin' that gon' knock me out, out
But somehow this body just won't stay down, down, down
Well, let's get real quiet
Feel the mornin' on my face
Ain't a pill that I didn't take (ba-da-ba-dum)
Just a lifetime 'cause it's been a long day (ba-da-ba-dum)
'Cause I'ma sleep when I R.I.P, ba-da-ba-dum
That song just screams Vaas for me. It's also gonna be the next chapter title, whoop whoop 😏
Tagging with love no pressure @merryandrewsworld @insanityofvaas @jasonsnowwhitebrody @writermml @littlemissawry @blaze13full @alexredgrave

Fandom ask meme 5
5. what is your favorite overused trope?
- i really, really do love “enemies to lovers” when done well. call me soft, but the idea that people can be redeemed through love shown or given to them will almost always make me weak, haha
