genuine question but is there any fandom where a character is well written by the majority. im thinking about fandom culture and the spread of frustration when people dont write characters well but. honestly in all the fandoms ive been in there's only like, a Select number of authors who i trust to write Well, let alone write Well AND In Character. character analysis and writing and getting inside characters' heads are all separate skills (all of which are trained by roleplaying fyi can CONFIRM playing pretend with your friends is good for you). there's been more than once where I've disagreed with an interpretation that others agreed with, and then I turned out wrong. or i turned out right. like it doesnt matter WHO is right it just matters that differences in character analysis exist, so even if you DO write well AND write in character, your in character is still going to be someone else's out of character
there's this sort of. vibe. that to play in the sandbox you Need to be able to make a castle, and if you can't make a castle then you shouldn't bother, and it completely dismisses the idea that youre in that sandbox to PLAY in the first place. there's this Weight of disappointing someone if you can't build something that they like, but that forgets that you aren't there to build them a castle. like, be KIND. if you disagree with someone then please make an effort to do so kindly. i dont give a shit about fandom discourse but there is a reason kids get removed from sandboxes if they keep throwing sand in people's eyes. but if they don't like your misshapen sand pile, then youre not obligated to change it. even if you yourself end up hating that same sand pile later- youre not building a legacy. youre playing. and sometimes the result of that play is out of character drivel. theres a reason there are so many authors and so few who i like to consistently read and thats because everyone is Fucking Around in their hobby space.
hash tag brag or whatever but i can build castles. ive built several that im v proud of. ive also dug holes in the sand for fun and then tripped on them when trying to get up. I often dug a hole and then got up and fucking- whoops, its a castle now, and i didn't realize i'd made something to be proud of until after the fact. the whole time while creating shit i was Convinced it was bullshit that didn't make sense. and then other times i was Convinced it was bullshit and then i was Right and i can look back and go. huh. ew. but it doesn't matter what the end result was, because i had fun playing in the sandbox
this wasn't meant to turn into a ramble but i have Feelings about bad art and art that's badly perceived and how public perception can screw with your head and how making art youre proud of is fucking. it's so difficult!!! it's hard!! it's really fun, which is why i try to make it, but i promise you it is Okay to not tryhard creativity. even if you CAN, it's okay not to do it all the time. or ever, even. fuck around find out have fun etc

Randy Random decided that Salvatore the cat was not enough for our colony and sent us eleven chickens, a brachiosaurus (we hunted it for the fifteen units of kibble and three silver it was carrying), and a feralisk migration (which we steered well clear of).
AND THEN Randy sent three caravans in rapid succession, one which had Socks' wife (Socks is in prison atm), and one with Vasso's biologically-older, chronologically-younger brother.
We sold all our male chickens to one of the caravans, I didn't pay attention to which one it was, and now we are down to four out of eleven chickens, which is much more manageable.
A man named Purple Shark crashed near us, and we deigned to rescue him, but if he wants to stick around he'll be treated to the same fate as Socks and Blackdragon.
Speaking of Socks and Blackdragon...
They tried to break out together (how the tables have turned from Blackdragon holding Socks prisoner!!), and we decided now was as good a time as any to begin our violent conversion while our guest Purple Shark slept in the background.
Blackdragon was first up, and he saw our "reasonable ways" (what reasonable ways??) and converted. So it looks like we won't be eating him anytime soon, but he is still in jail until we can recruit him. We do have to wait twenty days before we can do the ritual with Socks, but if she converts in those twenty days, we'll just recruit her and be done with it.

decided to recolor some lines i had saved from a drawing about a year ago to see the differences in my coloring style from then to now, but in the end i recycled so many colors that it ended up looking like a restricted palette coloring 💀

Quick reminder! Go save fics that you enjoy! And I don't mean bookmark them, I mean copy and paste the fic onto a word document, or a notes app, or just anywhere in general, because you don't know when the original fic will become unavailable.

Leo 🌱 He/Him 🌱 21
I’m autistic and have ADHD
My MBTI type is INFP
My favorite color is green (if you couldn't fucking tell lmfao)
I’m an atheist but was raised as and am ethnically Jewish—while we're on the subject: fuck Isr@el.
I am biromantic and asexual, and can answer any respectful questions about this
I have a full time job and many responsibilities outside of this blog, so my posting schedule is going to be a bit all over the place, if it exists at all
I have my request status in my bio, but I’m always open to sharing thoughts or just talking (my request guidelines are here)
I do not have any side blogs and do not intend to make any
Overall, I'd like to keep my personal life separate from my online presence, so things like my birthday, place of origin, and other sensitive personal information will stay under lock and key. Thank you for understanding.

so I got this side job as a tour guide which I was (am?) pretty excited about. I asked to do the ghost tour because awesome metaphysical and they said they liked to focus on the facts which I like. history, woohoo
but then I went on it. or rather, the guy who currently does it took three of us for a walk as he explained the various stories attached to houses/ areas and basically how he does it.
and I realized that it's all... horror stories, and grizzly details of awful murders.
I'm not sure why I expected anything different, but I'm not sure I want to do that, to tell those stories, to deal with... I get spooked easily by ghosts and other kinds of spirits and the one I did see on that tour was... freaked me out.
like, one of the ones at the very beginning, Pierre Jardin, was pretty cool. Idk if I believe the time portal weirdness they talked about but he just wanted attention. That was it. Bothered the restaurant until they set out a table for him every night. He's one of the most photographable ghosts apparently.
I want to give tours about the history and I want to mix in my love of the metaphysical but I just don't know how

Fic Stats Game
got tagged by @pointvee :D (hi vee <3) I love stats so this was very fun
rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.
I think katwala also said this but yeah there's a lot of dsmp on here which does not surprise me haha
Most Hits: Death and Her Angel, with 2790 hits. This one is a multichapter look at c!Philza and c!Kristin's relationship, starting in hardcore and moving up through SMPEarth. As yet unfinished, but I do plan on adding at least one more chapter to end it well.
2nd Most Kudos: This is actually also Death and Her Angel, so I'll do the 3rd most instead, which is I Don't Discriminate (Between the Sinners and the Saints), with 239 kudos. This is Ranboo's POV of Phil's house arrest and a couple things afterward during the Butcher Army arc :D
3rd Most Comments: Moments in the Multiverse! (21 comment threads) This is a collection of a bunch of unfinished/half-baked X-Men plot ideas I had, mostly centered around Rogue/Gambit lol. Hopped around various continuities including the movies, comics, and Evo.
4th Most Bookmarks: Only Magic's Gonna Save Your Soul, a Beast!Wirt AU OTGW fic I did for a discord event last Halloween. Probably my favorite fic I have written to date. (40 bookmarks!)
5th Most Words: As The Sun Rises, a multichapter DSMP aeduo Ladyhawke AU (13,546 words). It is unfinished and I might return to it at some point, but chances are slim currently.
Least Words: This Doesn't Change Anything, (390 words) a little Zutara ficlet I originally wrote for a competition on FFN haha. It's a short scene from "The Southern Raiders" with a little extra added on <3
I shall tag. hm. @fennzer, @crystalcatgamer, and @gracefulleopard (leo I will make you prove you are famous :P), but if you see this and I didn't tag you, feel free to also do it. we love to see more statistics in the world. also if I did tag you do not feel obligated if you don't want to lol

[ID: a sketch page of transformers. on the far left is bumblebee looking sad. in the middle bumblebee is wincing and saying “frag!” an arrow pointing to him indicates he popped a tire. Ratchet next to him and looking mad. He’s shouting “who taught you that?” under is ratchet glaring at deadlock who is looking comically concerned and has “uh oh” written next to him. in the right corner is a painting of the top half of bumblebee’s face. end ID]
some doodles from the margins of a bumblebee (+ mentors) comic that im picking away at and may or may not finish

Show us pictures of what styles of bathing suit you think the girls would wear to the beach together!
you have found my achilles heel because fashion is Something I'm Bad At. but i shall try!
dawn probably wears a simple swim dress. probably something black or blue in colour, something like this. nothing fancy, just something simple
as for irida i'm just going to use art from an artist i really like, cause i do think it fits. original post here (they draw a lot of irida god bless)
it's cute! it's simple, it looks nice. feel like she'd maybe wear swim shorts instead, but either or, really
this has been Lillie Is Bad At Fashion thanks 4 checking in.
