hi mae, if its not too much trouble could you do something with james and r where r has to deal with likr a creep on a train or smth. ive just had a real weird experience rn and its just.hm
Ugh I'm so sorry babe, I wish we each had a James with us all the time
cw: man being creepy (no sa or harassment, just gross behavior)
James Potter x fem!reader ♡ 934 words
You clock the danger long before your boyfriend does, but you suppose it’s a lot more drilled into one of you than the other.
The man gets on a few stops after you do, and his gaze seems aimless until it lands on you. It’s not a busy time; the bus is nearly empty, but of course he goes and stands next to you as if there are no open seats. You should have known better than to sit by the aisle.
James’ chatter fades into the background as your mind starts to whirl with possibilities. What if this man grabs you? What if he tries to keep you from getting off at your stop? What if he waits until you get off, and then follows you home?
“Hey.” James is looking at you quizzically. He reaches for your opposite arm, scrubbing up and down lightly. “You okay?”
You use the touch as an excuse to lean into his side, murmuring so the man can’t hear you. “If that guy’s still here when it’s my stop, will you get off with me? Or I could ride to yours, if that’s better.”
James looks past you, noticing the man for the first time, and you see clarity dawn on his expression as he does the same math you had. You can feel the man’s stare burning into the side of your head; he’s not even being subtle about it. James pulls you closer to his side.
“Hey, mate,” he says, tension underlying his jovial tone. “Do you wanna take a seat? There are plenty open.”
You chance a look over, and the man’s eyes lock with yours like it’s the opportunity he’s been waiting for. You feel James’ arm tense.
“You have pretty hair,” the man says.
You smile tersely. Polite, carefully unfriendly. “Thanks.”
That seems to satisfy him; the man does take a seat. The one directly behind you. Anxiety prickles over your skin at not being able to see him.
You at least feel better now that James is aware, too. He keeps his face turned to you, one eye on the seat behind you, as he picks up your conversation about the film you’ve just seen. Remus and Sirius were the ones who wanted to see it in the cinema; they thought it was artistic and meaningful, whereas you and James are in agreement it was dull and pretentious. Odd, aimless dialogue, experimental camera angles, hardly any plot. James thinks if you can get Sirius away from Remus he’ll agree. Competitive thing that he is, he’s hatching a plan to do so when the man leans forward and pushes his nose into your hair.
The sound of his inhale sends goosebumps racing down every inch of your skin. You go rigid, attempting subtly to lean forward while all the nerves in your body scream at you to run.
“Hey, what the fuck?” James doesn’t take care to lower his voice.
As though you’d been waiting for permission, you jump away, getting as far out of reach as possible before turning around. James’ arm has barred across the back of your seat, his hand gripping the pole on the opposite side and the muscles in his forearm strained with tension.
“What makes you think you can do that to someone?” he asks, equal parts incredulous and irate.
People in the bus have turned to look. The bus slows as you approach the next stop.
“Let’s get off,” you tell James.
“What?” He turns to you for a second before seeming to remember he should be keeping an eye on the man. Who has been silent, but for what he said to you. He looks entertained by James’ outburst, which almost scares you worse than anything that’s happened thus far. You know James is very fit, but you don’t want to get him in a fight. “Why should we get off? We haven’t done anything wrong!”
The doors open, and people start to file off. “James,” you say, grabbing a fistful of his shirt and giving a slight tug. “Please.”
He hesitates a second longer, looking somewhere between bewildered and outraged, before he says, “Fine, okay,” and grabs your bag. You tug him into the aisle, careful to keep both of you out of reach of the man. Once you’re off the bus, you start walking quickly, pulling James along and casting glances over your shoulder to be sure the man from the bus doesn’t follow. It’s only when the bus pulls away and he hasn’t gotten off that you stop.
“Ugh.” You heave a tremendous sigh, hugging James around the middle and dropping your forehead to his chest. “Sorry.”
“That was fucking insane,” he says, cupping the back of your head protectively. “Does that happen to you often?”
You let out a little laugh. “That specifically? No. But I know better than to talk to guys like that.”
“Sorry.” James kisses your hairline. Lets his lips rest there. “I thought it was going to help.”
“It’s not your fault, he was going to be weird either way. I’m really glad you were there.”
He squeezes you tighter. It helps you release the tension from your shoulders, giving in to him. “That was fucking disgusting,” he says. “I’m sorry I’m ever not there.”
You shudder. “Is it weird that I feel like I need to shower?”
“Nope. But do it at mine. I’m not going to be able to stop thinking about that guy finding your place for the next several days.”
“How would he do that, James?”
“Dunno. But just to be safe.”

The perfect end is near?
MHA 424 spoilers
Those new leaks were literally fucking perfect,like??? Not just for shipping (I'll get to that) but just for a conclusion of the series.
Simple ending?
(First of all,I personally wanted Hori to kinda send the kids back to school,y'know,to see how they'd be after the fact how this war really changed their mindsets,but to also give them so time to just be a class. Those kids deserve to be kids just for a little bit).
To me this just proves even more so how Hori loves and enjoys his characters,he loves the world he's built for them,I think he wants to explore this further,and all the power to him! I know we want stories that are mind blowing every step of the way,but that's just not realistic and that's not really fun.
Hori,in my opinion,has made a heartbreaking and inspiring story,but I appreciate that he can dile it back a notch. I appreciate stories that can just roll with the simplicity. I feel people have this negative connotation of simplicity,that simple is automatically bad,which isn't true in the slightest.
I am a big fan of deep and meaningful stories,but I think one of the deepest turns you can take is to simplicity. These kids have been fighting non-stop and have been experiencing tragedy after tragedy,I want to see them recover. I want to see them comfort one another.
Let's not forget Hori has given us plot twits,death,war,grief...so if MHA goes back to how it was in the beginning,by being a little more simple,then I'm in full support for that.
(Just making this argument before the dudebros start talking shit! As for Shigaraki and AFO's ending,and the war,I've already done a pretty long analysis for those two,so I kinda see no point in repeating something since my feelings on it haven't changed)
The gay ending???
ALRIGHT. Let's get to the shipping portion of this post.
(Izuku trying to reassure him is so fucking sweet,oh my fucking God, he's like, "Oh,Kacchan don't cry everything's okay :D" whilst trying not to cry himself,and Izuku being shocked to see him cry? Like,bitch,this man has cried to you like two times before this,but at the same time he's never openly sobbed I guess)
Guys,we're going to get the quirkless hand hold. GUYS,WE'RE GOING TO GET THE QUIRKLESS HAND HOLD.
And Katsuki being vulnerable with Izuku once again? Honestly this whole chapter hasn't been some dkbk/bkdk crumbs,it's been a full-course dinner.
Now let's get to the most important part...
THIS. This is so telling of the future in a sense.
Katsuki and Izuku being brought together by All Might's words once again,which Hori fucking HINTED at,
Something tells me he was super excited to do this whole scene. With All Might,once again,bringing these two together,it makes me think of Togachako,especially with Ochako at the end here.
If Ochako is the one holding her stomach at the end,then we can assume that's where Toga stabbed her and she's thinking of her,while dkbk/bkdk are having their moment. This is extremely important.
I've said Izuku is kinda like Togachako's All Might,and I stand by that. Throughout this series,Ochako has been growing to become a hero,her own hero. And,Izuku has been one of her biggest inspirations,so much so,she feel in love with him. But,as things change,and Izuku has grown away from her,she's grown away from him.
What I'm saying is: Ochako has fallen out of love with Izuku. I've said this a million times,but I cannot stress it enough. Izuku has brought Ochako and Toga together though,that's for sure.
I mean,if we really take a look at their recent romantic moments,who has Ochako been thinking of?
and the rooftop scene?
people please stop trying to make this about Izuku. This is about Ochako finally realizing what kind of hero she wants to be,and that's why she falls out of love with Izuku.
Ochako wanted to save the heroes (Izuku) but in the process she found out she wants to save the villains (Toga). This is her story of becoming a hero,and falling out of love with Izuku. Izuku brought them together,their shared feelings for him made them realize their feelings for each other. Sound familiar?
Izuku's and Katsuki's shared feelings for All Might caused their feelings for each other to bloom,then their conflicting ideals made it to where they couldn't be together. Sound familiar?
(And let's not forget they had two fights,each one of them.)
And,Katsuki said something this chapter that made me think: "Oh,Togachako vibes!"
Remember when Ochako says she wants to give Toga her blood for the rest of her life?
Or the lyrics in the mha season 2 ending theme about Izuku's feelings for Kacchan?
Dudes,these mfs just wanna be together.
Those are just some of my thoughts one the ending,dkbk/bkdk,Togachako,and all that. I'm super fucking excited for the rest of this series though!
(Let's cross our fingers for a Deku Vs Kacchan part 3 but it ends with them making out???)

There's a chance you've already done this prompt before but it's hard for me to check so if you've already done a fic like this dont worry Abt it! Adam x Male!reader btw.
Maybe a "I wish you were a girl" situation, but more from the readers point of view? Like he knows Adam has ever shown interest in girls, and constantly bitches about his wives. (And only ever flirts with random angels who are girls) So when Reader realizes he has a crush on him, he has doubts and never ever thinks that Adam would ever like him back. (Even tho I'm a firm believer of bi Adam.)
I don't know where to go from there, but maybe the reader figures out he DOES have a chance somehow? That or just straight up hurt/no comfort...
Okay so I don't think I've written this or something similar before and if u have I don't remember so here ya go <3
He likes a girl and I'm not a girl
pairing: Adam x male!reader
warnings: language
note: not beta read bc fuck you
For a guy who claimed to be a simple man, Adam was quite complicated in your eyes, though that had more to do with his behavior towards you than with anything else. On the outside everything was fine, the two of you were just pals - quite close pals but nothing more.
On the inside however - or specifically on your inside - the knowledge of being ‘just friends’ ate you up like a five star meal. Because how were you supposed to enjoy the beauty of Heaven if a certain brunette kept shattering your heart over and over again? How were you supposed to enjoy the divine afterlife they had promised you when the man you liked kept flirting with girls - girls who only looked half as good as you, girls who were good at sucking his dick and making pretty eyes at him, girls who were whores. You desperately wanted to grab Adam by his shoulders and shake him, you wanted to shake some sense into him, wanted to punch his face and kiss his lips at the same time and while you definitely were able to punch his face without ruining the friendship, you were quite unable to kiss his soft looking and inviting lips without setting the bond the two of you had formed on fire.
Adam was not into guys, he had made that clear over the past thousand years, he was ‘dating’ - more like hooking up with - women and women only and even if the first man would be into men, there was no guarantee that he would be into you. But there wasn’t even the slightest chance for you, Adam wasn’t into men and you - a man - were into Adam. It was doomed to fail, doomed to tear your heart apart over and over again but you refused to leave his side. You cared about the stupid fucker and while it burned to see him happy with women - women who weren’t you and you whow ould never be a woman - you were glad that Adam had found something that brought him joy, even if that meant that you would suffer from the indescribable pain of unrequired love.
A price that sounded so meaningful, so expensive but then you would see Adam’s golden eyes, filled with pride and pure happiness whenever he talked to you about whatever chick he had fucked over the weekend. It was easy to tune his words out and simply watch his facial expressions change, it was so easy to ignore the fact that he was literally telling you about having sex with women you have never met and would never meet. And yet it was so hard.
If only God would have made you a woman, a beautiful one that would be Adam’s type. And while your looks would fit Adam’s type, your gender very much didn’t, oh the price you were willing to pay to be a woman just for one day, just so you could be Adam’s for a single day. But that would not happen, neither of it would. God would not turn you into a woman and you wouldn’t be Adam’s, not for a day and certainly not for longer.
The worst part of it all? Adam’s unintentional yet hurtful comments.
“Y’know,” he had once said after one of his gigs as he had his arm wrapped around your shoulders. You were expecting the first man to tell you which of the women in the crowd he’d invite backstage but instead of doing that he had leaned in close, so close that his hot breath was hitting your cheek. “If you were a chick I’d make you mine in no fucking time, dude.”
If you were a chick.
But you weren’t and as long as that was the case Adam was not interested in you in any other way than being friends. And while you had laughted it off, his words had haunted you for days, fuck they had even followed you in your sleep.
Or another time when you and him had gotten shitfaced during the boys night out. His arm had been around your waist, his other hand was roaming over your body stopping at your chest, squeezing it, “For a dude you have fucking nice tits, man.” The alcohol had been audible in his voice and despite the fact that he was aware that you weren’t one of his girls, he kept touching you.
-
The first man was sitting next to you, your side was pressed flush against his as his arm was resting on the backrest of the couch right behind your head. Confidently he spoke, “So y’know how you’re into dudes?” Now that was straight up the dumbest question the first man had ever asked you and lets just say that he asked quite a lot of stuff. You fake gasped at him, “What, I’m into dudes? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” That earned you a playful smack on the back of your head, turning your shocked expression into an amused grin. “Fuckhead,” the first man mumbled, “I’m being fucking serious here.” You simply shook your head in amusement, not quite sure where this conversation would lead you to - why was Adam suddenly interested in the fact that you liked men? Was he trying to set you up with someone?
“Yeah, why though?” you hummed right before you took a sip of your drink - a thing you regretted only seconds later when Adam said, “Do you know any fuckable dudes?” The sip wasn’t swallowed, instead you spit it out in pure shock.
What did he just say?

Just read your Saitama cape post and wanted to tell you it was great and spot on!! Also wanted to add that when Saitama first saw the hole in his cape, his first thought was for Genos to fix it and sticking to the cape is Saitama's hope metaphor... only Genos would've been able to fix it. No Genos, no cape, no hope. I'm sick and rambling so I hope this made sense?
!!! Oh my gosh!!! You're right!!! And Genos was thinking about the same thing, like he almost had a second sense that something was wrong, like him and Saitama/his mental state were already really intimately linked......
hhhhHHHHHHH. GOSH. GOSH!!!!!! it was right THERE!!!! @gofancyninjaworld says all the time that everything in OPM is a joke until it's not, and like...uuuAAAGGHGAKSDFJ ;ALSDF
And the only reason Saitama's cape got a hole in it in the first place was because he wasn't being careful with it, insisting on putting it *back* on while on a speeding rail car where it was fluttering around and getting in everyone's face. The only reason he'd want to wear is was for its symbolic and sentimental value. And even after it had been punched straight through the middle, he kept wearing the scraps until they were forcibly removed from him.....
It's not the first time we've seen the suit recognized as something deeply important to Saitama, directly beside Genos--who also recognized that and offered to give him something as a replacement for it.
((full OVA here: https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/2012973698 . It's.....a little hard not to read his relationship with Genos growing the same way his relationship with his suit did ////))
We've seen Genos tending to the suit when he brought it back from the laundry too.... Even though it's Saitama's, he takes care of it just as much as he does the man it belongs to--and given how much it means to Saitama and how upset he gets when it's messed up, I feel like it says a LOT that he'd be willing to let someone else clean it, let alone do material repairs on it....and on top of that, think of that someone immediately upon realizing he needed help.
((I feel like it's related and that I should mention it--when Genos gets the key to the apartment, he holds it the same way that Saitama holds his core. That the giraffe has a suspiciously similar color theme to Saitama in his suit doesn't seem like a coincidence. When Saitama keeps to himself so much, giving Genos a key to his home is essentially saying, "Here, I'm letting you into my life, I trust you with this." It's not carrying someone else's physical heart in your hand, but...i mean that's pretty fuckin' close // ))
[saitama....sure is naked around Genos a lot, huh ;;; ]
#one punch man#one punch#opm#genos#saitama#genosai#saigenos#precious robot baby#egg on legs#talk dirty to me#as i was looking for screenshots i noticed that Saitama was beating the shit out of himself during the second half of the garou fight#'cause garou was wearing his face#and i think.....i think that's PRETTY fucking meaningful

looked at the terror tag on here (mistake) and I saw someone dismissing criticisms of the show’s depiction of colonialism because like all the guys die at the end and the british do all the violent shit they accuse the Inuit of doing so the show is ultimately telling the audience that colonialism is bad. which I think is kind of silly. I don’t think the show is apologetic about british colonialism in a general sense and like obviously The Point Of The Show is to make the argument that british colonialism creates conditions that are hostile to all human life, that you reap what you sow etc, but there is a generosity and sympathy going on with the main cast that does blunt the text’s ability to be critical, and coupled with the like weird magical indigenous people bullshit going on I think the show is limited in its capability to deliver a full-throated criticism of British colonialism and its consequences. and this almost goes without saying but the vast majority of what I saw in the tags was people shipping white guys together as opposed to discussing the show itself, although to be fair I don’t think that really indicates anything meaningful about audience response beyond the fact that tumblr’s sole mode of engagement with any text ever made is to make shipping edits and meme compilations
#the terror spoilers#making this unrebloggable because I don’t really feel like starting any arguments#but I’m always wary of giving any show the benefit of the doubt when it comes to saying anything meaningful about like ‘colonialism bad’#yes of course it’s bad! but the way you get to that conclusion matters a lot#again I really enjoyed the show and I think the premise is pretty robust in terms of like#playing with the horror of being in a place you have no business being in#there’s also some interesting British and Irish politics going on as well#BUT ANYWAY. I want to watch the show again to like have a more solid opinion#this time with fucking proper subtitles!!!! I think I missed a lot

speaking of tawnypelt its so funny when people go “mothpool is bad because people reduce mothwings character to just this fanon relationship! why not focus on her relationship with her thunderclan siblings!!!”
like. girl WHAT relationship?
#brambleclaw doesnt give a fuck about her bc shes Girl#tawnypelt just doesnt interact w the riverclan siblings at all in any meaningful capacitiy#and does anyone like Actually ignore the abusive dynamic between hawkfrost and mothwing? besides stans who think he did nothing wrong?#iirc thats actually a good chunk of mothwing's content#ntm the books focus on her relationship w her apprentices more than her relationship with leafpool#im pretty sure she doesnt really even interact w her in any meaningful way after tnp#shes not even all that remarkable as a tigerstar kit bc usually shes just conflated with hawk in that regard#and after that ppl are just butthurt that shes an atheist#like. ntm ppl who do focus on mothpool elaborate on her not believing in starclan in context of their relationship#like how moth decides to put her faith in starclan if only because of leafpool#or the ''i may not believe starclan but i believe YOU leafpool'' line#like. honestly just say ur lesbophobic sldkfjsdlfd#no one besides a handful of people are ''reducing her character to a ship''#and the ones that are are just the normal ilk of shippers who do that with EVERY ship#or hell when canon itself reduces a character to just ''yay i have a love interest uwaaaa''#its. really not that bad bc mothwing herself is an underutilized character theres not much TO ignore#and the unique stuff about her actually is elaborated on in these mothpool rewrites#in a similar vein wow was it hilarious to see people claim mothpool was toxic and bad while shipping bramblesquirrel#echoed voice

trying to assign instruments to gerudo characters for thralls' soundtrack. Nabooru is getting the sitar so far, as I think she's good at representing the gerudo side that's closer to the Wild Era in terms of long-term vision for gerudo prosperity, not to mention that it works great for a more laid-back character; though Iftaah could also get that aspect, even though her perspective is a little bit more desperate and a little less actually strategizing about diplomacy and commerce in the way that Nabooru's is... not sure I have nailed down the perfect instrument for her yet though? Maybe a duduk, for its plaintive quality and capacity for softness? But I don't know, I feel like there could be something better out there. Saeruk and flamenco guitar seem pretty great fit for the versatility of the instrument, both harsh and defiant, playful at times, but also extremely sad if needs be, and the fact that she represents more the "older" kind of gerudo works well with more hispanic/romany inspirations. And then there's Aveil, who I feel represent the best the connection of the gerudos to their land, and I'd love an instrument that really represents that. Still looking for that one.
There's a bunch of fun things for Ganondorf that can be done, but I think he'll get... bigger instruments, in general. And church organs are quite versatile too it turns out. :) I like the marimba from his first phase boss battle, but it's a little too... I don't know, I feel like it lacks the roundness and depth and imposing quality that we could get with other picks. But Ganondorf so far has about *eight billion* leitmotifs going on with what I have selected for him (him and Ganon's, as they are... not exactly separate entities in the story, but sort of, it's kind of weird), so it might be more a case of actual melody rather than instruments, or maybe on top of instruments that swap in and out depending on what we want to invoke...
Sorry, rambling, but I would really love to compensate for my lack of voice actors with a pretty meaningful stab at the soundtrack. I feel like I kind of have to honestly. ;;
#thoughts#thralls of power#animatic project#gerudos#nabooru#ganondorf#I need to upgrade my music software and stop using Logic 5.5 that came out in 2002 ;;#and gives me between 30mn to 2h before subjecting me to a coinflip about whether or not it corrups my savefile#never really had the material for a proper upgrade but I really want to make one and that seems the perfect opportunity for that#also yeah nabooru has kind of a big role in thralls!#she wasn't there at all in descant or just in passing#but she becomes kind of an important player in this version of the events#her antagonism with ganondorf is. definitively there let's say.#it's funny I actually kind of used descant as a brainstorming ground for thralls in many ways#as every single character arc is just whatever I began to sketch out in unhallowed vespers#but like More and More Deliberate and more focused too#there's a bunch of threads I completely cut out#so it won't be a perfect 1:1#which is for the best I think I just hadn't spent enough time with some characters to truly get them#I'm much more confident now#Iftaah is perhaps the one that needs the most work at the moment? she has a Bad Fucking Time so I need to make sure#it goes to places that not only serve other people's arcs but also her own --and that she ends the story in a meaningful place narratively#Serielle also needs work but more in the sense that's there's so much happening in her brain. and it's pretty difficult to convey.#but I fully know what's going on in there at least even if it's wildly convoluted#anyway!! rambling rambling sorry sorry#I am frustrated that I can't actually work on it so here I am rambling#ok back to work now

I just finished your New Wave fic. I’m convinced everything your write is gold. I loved your TMA fics, with the most heartbreaking demon AU imaginable and the hilarity of Fahrenheit 101. I loved your moon knight fics, starting with Steven talking to animals on the reg at work to the system growing closer with a focus on Jake, i- there’s- it’s sooo much packed into it. When I’m on burnout, of art or writing (maybe life in general at times) I revisit your work and am thrown back into a creative headspace.
You are my favorite writer, you cram so much meaning and thought into your work and it shows. The characters are dumbasses and say the most ridiculous shit and turn around the next chapter and say the most thought provoking thing, and I don’t get whiplash from it because these characters just work! They just do, and I… am very much off track!
Anyways I just got into Batman and reading your fic is fueling that flame! I can’t wait to see what you have in store next, and I shall now stalk your blog for writing tips! I hope you have a nice day broski 💙
Thank you!! This is so sweet thank you so much! This ask is so nice!
Trust me, if there's meaning then it's because I get obsessive over these fics and I massively overthink them. I honestly wish I was better at making simpler, more elegant stories. I feel like nothing I do is truly going to be good until I can find that simplicity.
"Dipshit who says stupid stuff and then turns around and spouts ridiculous philosophy" is just how I talk. But I habitually approach my life from a standpoint of finding humor in everything, if only to soften the blow. I was once told that it's really hard to tell when I'm joking, because everything I say is always half-joking and always half-serious. I feel like that's pretty evident from my narration too...
As for writing advice...um, I was just speaking about this with somebody. When you're plotting a story, the first thing I like to figure out is what I'm trying to say. Everything else should be built around that. The joy of writing is that I think we all have something we want to say, or something we want people to know, or that we have an aspect of ourselves and our lives that we want to express. Most of the time, trying to convey those things verbally just results in a frustrating approximation of your true feelings. I find that when I manage a successful story, the depth and scale of what I'm trying to impart is fully understood and felt. It's rewarding. I think if people aren't understood on some level, by somebody, they kind of die.
Thanks for the sweet ask!!
#dungeon meshi is the peak of storytelling and im not joking#my asks#my writing#(my writing tag is a good place to find my dumb essays!)#i dont consider myself a creative and i barely consider myself a writer#so i professionally have no fucking opinions on art or whatever#also im not sure you can call what i do art in like any meaningful way#but i know a lot of musicians and everything#and so much art is just a person trying to convey something that can't be conveyed through words alone#so much stuff is lost in translation between our brains and our mouths - its like translating english to a foreign language#the meaning can be conveyed but inherently it'll never capture the original meaning exactly in every way#i think art can help you achieve a more perfect translation more than anything else can#you just have to feel like that poor schmuck in j alfred prufrock all the time#'that's not what i meant at all; that is not it - not at all'#JASLKDF sorry for the pretentious tags and also pretentious essay#all i do is write fanfic i dont know shit about this tbh#i just think that idk. there's things in this world that only we know#things that only we can say or understand#and sometimes we have to say them ourselves in our own words#sometimes ppl focus too hard on making their writing sound pretty or correct or 'good'#and they dont focus as much on how pretty writing is a tool to say what youre trying to say more effectively#idk! im sorry for quoting ts eliot some things can't be forgiven etc

more dnd and adjacent media should be run and written by people who think dwarves and elves are boring but care very sincerely about halflings and gnomes
#me it's me they should put me in charge#welcome to my campaign. all of the halfling and gnome NPCs are richly developed and well-rounded. maybe sometimes a dwarf will exist#actually I almost left elves out of this post because imho they're more interesting than anyone ever bothers to remember or implement#and I don't think they're boring and I would give them loving and meaningful worldbuilding-- but I DO think most people run them boring#'oh they're like humans but better. they're like beautiful humans who are old' that's IT?? I am ASLEEP!!!#anyway why do people just flatly refuse to engage with the small races at all!!#are they boring or are you just writing them off for no reason!!#I have one(1) dnd friend and DM who Gets It-- oh no sorry I forgot Justin is also my DM and dnd friend dfkjhgdfj. TWO DMs who get it#so halfling and especially gnome NPCs actually get to 1) fucking exist at all and 2) feel like real people but also distinct from humans#I think people just don't know what to do with them. which is a bummer and also boring.#I dunno like. as a reasonably intelligent and fully realized adult who is also playful and silly#I have pretty strong feelings actually about gnomes getting to be real people and ALSO culturally value goofiness and whimsy#and very strong feelings about how hard that is for most people to understand or believe (:#about me#gnome stuff#worldbuilding

girls who have all their lives struggled with worthiness and have spent a solid decade convinced that they were undeserving of love fighting desperately to be good enough to be loved in any capacity by anyone at all, constantly failing constantly being left behind, when someone they dearly care for and genuinely trust just Very Casually tells them that they are easy to love
#diary time sorry this is kinda :// im just like. REELING#'damn shocked you into silence' GENUINELY YEAH 😭😭😭#like okay. okay. okay. okay. cool. take a belief ive held onto my entire life and flip it on its head with no effort at all. yeah thats fin#it feels SO silly to say im like Shaky bc of this but i have a whole ass complex built around it ive worked thru sm in therapy for years no#but this is one of the only things left that still (consistently) REALLY fucks me up and that i cant get through my head#and not for lack of trying its a work in progress if u will but. god.#genuinely one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me i think this is going to live with me for the rest of my life#or at least for the next decade#u know when someone says smth or tells u smth and u just Never Forget It like its too meaningful for you to let go of?#whether good or bad?#this is obviously Very Good which is strange in of itself but also holy shit. holy shit. holy shit#and idk i try to surface level be. Like This? silly goofy kind etc? but to hear that from someone who knows me PRETTY damn well#and who i have sm respect for and put sm trust in#like okay. okay. okay .okay. okay. okay. yeah. sure. yeah. mmhmm. alright. cool. okay.yeah. alright.#one million explosions#alyalyoxenfree#cant decide if i want him to see this or not#thats always a weird moment of someone saying something genuinely life-changing and then its like oh shit#do i suddenly dump all this baggage on you for the sole purpose of making you understand how meaningful this is to me#or do i do. Not That. and simply carry on forever changed for the better

#the world's too fucked to find peace in it i've pretty much grown certain of that#and i don't even mean this as like... there's no hope and no good things#i just mean we have to find the good things and the good people and do what we can together to like#make things better and all live in the most comfortable and meaningful way possible?#community in the end is the answer to the question is there any hope for a peaceful and free and comfortable and happy life. there is if we#stick and work together l#SORRY this was a tangent. i'm just like. finding peace within myself and realizing more and more that what i need is other people#but not in the way i've always thought i needed them. and that i still feel i need them. in the most fucked up way i still feel like that#bc the way i've p much always interacted w others is thru the lenses of my mental illnesses so it's alwaysssss been so distorted#and damn isn't it hard to break free of that. w no therapy especially. but anyway this is a whole thing#which you didn't ask me abt sorry silver fjdbkrvkfbj#been in a very reflective mood lately. bc i'm struggling and need to find a way out so yeah#but THANK YOUU again and yeah dw i'll be fine i'm gonna do my best to be okay#asks#cheri#i don't think you have a preference name wise btw but if i'm wrong pls do let me know i've just been using cheri and silver interchangeably

#okay#so#like#the willy wonka glasgow thing#and the unknown#the villain spat out by the ai generated ''script''#the evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls and is a nebulous sort of ''him''#am i the only person who feels a little like uncomfy about it#because like#it hits on a lot of antisemitic tropes#and roald dahl said some incredibly antisemitic stuff and his antisemitism is present in some of his novels#i doubt that the AI generated that villain from dahls books#unless they used an AI solely fed dahls works#(i mean like the oompa loompas in the book were uh well lets just say the guy was pretty fucking racist toward black people)#but its an uncomfortable correlation all the same#and like#i dont think im qualified nor feel equipped to discuss it#but maybe it says something that these tropes are present enough in whatever it was the AI was trained on#but i havent read the script nor do i know generative language models well enough to draw any meaningful inferences there#idk dude#im just#a little uncomfy about it

mythic quest is not as funny nor as profound as it thinks it is but it does have the great loser failwoman of our time and evil danny pudi so you have to give credit where credit is due
#I'm being mean mostly because i couldn't even get through s3#it's pretty good. it's just that looking back the only staying power it's had for me is 1) episode 5 and 2) POPPY LI !!!#.txt#even the covid episode which felt very meaningful at the time is not something i have found myself thinking about or#wanting to rewatch.#it's just ok!#fully talking to myself here no one on my dash i calling it the greatest show ever#but EYE have thoughts about it#honestly if this is a safe space i know what my post just said but I'm just trying to fit in#i think evil danny pudi is also just ok. in fact he's part of why I couldn't get through s3#AND more than that the way he dominates any and all interest people have in the show on here when he's not even a main is#so frustrating. literally can we fucking talk about poppy li my awful cringe girlfriend poppy li#this is a nothing post.#ok bye.

Ridiculously emotional rn over the idea that you can love an individual so very much but sometimes there's so much healing that needs to be done. Healing that may include being apart from each other for however long because your trauma is so intertwined and you don't trust yourself yet to not hurt the one that you've already put onto them. You'll be back once you're ready and they'll be waiting, and they'll heal as well in your absence but calm in the knowledge that it won't be forever. It's a bittersweet goodbye at the moment with the promise that you will come back a better person, the kind of person that they deserve.
#excluding the absurdity that was utah. at its core its a very hard hitting message that i think some people need to hear#wilbur is an absurbish writer but he's also an incredibly meaningful one. the idea of a temporary goodbye really hurts#because its a goodbye no matter what. when youve surrounded yourself so much around a person it can hurt severely#its not a testament that they dont love you enough to stay. its that they love you so much that they want to say goodbye and promise you#its saying that i love you so much but i need this time to help and heal myself so that i can live in my own skin again#ive sat on the ending for a couple hours and this is my interpretation. the whole utah thing is purposeful as it adds the comedy element#but at its core? its extremely meaningful and i wouldve loved something between wilbur and philza#but this? i can live with it. of course theres things i would add or address but i think its pretty good :]#its a hopeful ending. one of the ones thats slightly bittersweet. but ultimately happy and forgiving#c!wilbur i hope youre happy and healing in fucking utah. how youd sail from there again.

Y’all can all like what you like but some people’s takes on the boys are so dumb
#sometimes violence intended to shock a viewer actually does serve a meaningful rhetorical purpose#im sorry what years of game of thrones discourse has done to the state of critical analysis on the internet but#‘I did not like seeing this and found it upsetting’ does Not Equal ‘the writer is an edge lord who isn’t saying anything of value’#saw someone make the EXCELLENT point that while obviously the violence on the boys is supernatural it’s extremity is pretty par for the#course in war but its not the kind of thing we want to look at#which is like. exactly the kind of thing the boys is trying to comment on.#and I’m not saying none of it is over the top. i still don’t know what they were trying to do with that deep scene in s1. we did NOT need#that fucking antman parody scene I know why they did it but they owe me a million dollars for having to see it.#but overall I do think there’s a point with what they’re doing and they’re doing it well
