#but yeah it's a struggle sometimes
Note
One thing I really want to see is Venti learning about technology. Imagine him trying to figure out how a toaster worked lol
Or even seeing himself on tv or on a phone.
Honestly though, this is one of the things I most struggle with when it comes to creating content for the Venti in our world thing, I have to like triple check that what I'm referencing doesn't already exist in their world because I honestly have no idea what the heck kind of time period that game is set in.
Just to list off a few, I have contemplated over whether or not they have running water (I still don't really know, but I assume yes to some extent),
General electricity (there's a bunch of street lamps and chandeliers, and also the ruin guards look like they run on something akin to electricity, but they're also considered ancient technology, so I'm not sure on that one but I've gone mostly with no),
Refrigeration (I think I decided no because our version of that can't exist without electricity, but there is probably some form of it made with ice or cryoc powers),
Materials like plastic (pretty sure I read that one of the characters was holding a plastic cup in a scene, but who knows if that was intentional, but factories do exist so maybe?),
Coffee (now I've seen this one be directly referenced in the game before once, but again could have just been a non thought through decision, but it's not like they have coffee bean trees so—),
Honey (there are no bees),
Other stringed instruments like guitars (Xinyan does have one she made herself, but honestly, that brings about a whole nother lot of questions like how can rock music exist without electric instruments?? If her guitar is an electric one what does that mean for electricity existing in the game as a whole???),
Hair dye (I dye my hair a lot, it's green right now, I just want to know if it would be seen as normal for me to just suddenly show up one day with purple or blue hair out of nowhere)
You get the idea, a lot of unanswered questions that I kind of have to come up with answers for on the fly, and I'm partly worried about making the mistake of messing something up because I didn't know it already existed in canon. Like, technically speaking, cameras do exist in a form over there, but how the hell does that work?
Now that I've successfully used this ask to rant about all the inconsistencies and plot holes that may or may not occur in my future writing— I think out of all the Archon's, Venti is probably the most receptive to change and new things, so I could see him being super excited and curious about everything, would probably accept things pretty easily at face value while still being rather fascinated about our technology and how things like that came about.
#genshin impact#sagau#genshin venti#headcannons#brainrot#I'll be expanding on this more when i finally update the series don't worry#but yeah it's a struggle sometimes#i wish there was like a masterpost comparing the two so i could write with more certainty

I hate hate hate how kink is often represented as a monolith. For the longest time I thought I didn’t belong in the kink community because I don’t like pain and often pain is what is associated with being kinky. So this is your reminder that pain doesn’t determine kinkiness and you can be just as kinky if you’re not a pain fan❤️
#trans nsft#t4t nsft#mlm nsft#trans guy nsft#ftm nsft#t4t ns/fw#nsft trans#nsft bottom#ftm mlm#ftm bottom#k1nk community#k!nk community#k!nk positivity#I despise this notion so much#literally kept me out of exploring shit bc I didn’t think I belong#which I know is ironic bc my blog has a decent number of followers#but yeah I still struggle with it sometimes🙃#maybe I wouldn’t if we as a whole didn’t push that notion#you can absolutely be kinky if you’re not into pain❤️

Darcy's role in P&P would work for me anyway, but tbh it works for me 10x better because he halfway reverts back to form towards the end of the book.
#so many takes on darcy seem to think his presentation of himself at pemberley is a permanent radical transformation of his personality#and the end point of his character arc#and it's explicitly not a static end point in that way#his inwards change is real but how much that translates into outwards presentation depends on the context#like late-novel darcy trying to compliment mrs bennet and doing it in a way that reads as icy and brusque is just peak darcy#the difference isn't that he's become personable in this social context; he's not! but he's doing his best now#and this being an ongoing struggle at which he sometimes comically fails is so much more austen#than the total transformation into a perfect dreamboat narrative#but yeah i love that austen goes out of her way at the end to yank him out of his fulfillment enclosures and underscores his foibles#anghraine babbles#austen blogging#austen fanwank#lady anne blogging#fitzwilliam darcy

There’s been a lot of (very excellent!) discussion recently about Brigid and Stephen and how much she’s loved, and I feel like that’s a very good segue into a topic which I’ve been musing over for a while: namely, Patrick O’Brian’s treatment of love in general. Because honestly I feel like one of the things that’s most captivated me about the Aubreyad in general is the sheer amount of love it contains, the vast majority of which is (canonically, at least) non-romantic, and I think that the further I get into the series, the more that strikes me.
Like honestly I cannot even begin to explain how incredibly good POB is at portraying loving relationships, whether they’re friendships, marriages, or parents and children (/surrogate parent and child, as the case may be). I’m actually genuinely not sure if I’ve ever read something like it. I think that a lot of media really struggles with platonic relationships, which is a question that probably deserves a 400-page thesis about it and that I’m not really qualified to answer, but the Aubreyad somehow manages to create relationships that are all so imbued with love that it genuinely does not matter whether or not the people in them are in love or not. While I’m certainly here for reading Stephen and Jack as a romantic relationship, there’s a certain point where I actually don’t care whether or not they’re friends or lovers, because the complexities of what they feel for each other and what they mean in each other’s lives is just as deep either way. And all the relationships in the book are like that: Bonden and the Surprises looking after Stephen, Jack with Mowett and Pullings, Stephen and Sophie, and on and on into infinity.
I think the thing that makes me the most insane about this is that these relationships all feel so unbelievably, viscerally real. The love that’s stored there is the same sort of love that I feel for the people in my own life, with all the inevitable disagreements and exasperation and imperfection that it comes with. I think it’s incredibly difficult to capture that exact feeling in writing, and yet somehow he’s managed to do it. There’s been so much talk about the way in which people in our day and age and media in general struggle to talk about friendship and platonic relationships as meaningful, and I’m not saying that just any writer could go out and weave a tapestry so complex as the Aubreyad does, but reading these books is like a balm for that. There’s something so reassuring in knowing that a romantic relationship is not the be-all-end-all for any of the characters in these books, no matter how you look at it. Each of them is surrounded by a web of people who are deeply implicated in their existence and who truly care what happens to them.
I think fiction, by its nature of needing to bring characters in to serve a role in a linear plot, doesn’t often leave room for love of this kind, and I don't want to be critical of that, because not all narratives can be like the one Patrick O'Brian's written (which is 100% okay—it should be that way, that's how narratives work!). But there’s something so healing about reading a story in which all of the characters are so deeply loved. It’s like a mirror; looking into it, you can see your own relationships, and by extension, just how loved you are, even if most of the time you don’t realize it. Humans are not lonely creatures, and no one captures that better than Patrick O’Brian.
#it's just. god#love is stored in the aubreyad that's all good night#i don't think i've ever read anything that compares to it and i don't know if i ever will#but yeah. sometimes realism means relationships that mean something actually. get loved idiot#struggled a bit to frame this in a way that did not say 'just friendship' because as much as i hate that mentality#the world that i live in has very much ingrained it and i do have to work to undo that#hope it came across successfully that all these friendships and all friendships are on the same level as romantic relationships actually#aubreyad#perce rambles

You can become so used to the darkness that you mistake it for the light. What feels safe, feels familiar, is not always as it appears to be.
#sorry that this is so ominous#it's more of a vent post i guess#I'm struggling with my depression and PTSD a lot lately#and it's becoming very difficult to deal with#sometimes with mental illness you end up falling into unhealthy cycles of thinking#or you resist the things that are good and healthy for you#I'm struggling a lot with those things right now#where i am just having a very hard time looking at the positives within my situation#but yeah#personal#vent post#vent

Would you be into a reader-is-infected-by-glitchtrap au or...? Nah?
eh not really my cup of tea
#we all know i love the human x dangerous (sometimes not human) trope but once its shared i lose interest#vampire lover turns human partner into vamp? lost interest#demon lover turns partner into demon? lost me#human now sharing the same brainwashing glitch possesion as their robot friend/partner? wheres the drama#wheres the struggle#wheres the conflict#yeah they can be partners in murder crime if you want or have reader be the one infecting the robots with the virus#but i prefer a protagonist on an uphill battle against something they don't know the full danger of#and their dearly beloved is the one housing the danger

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.
#simon says#to explain here and not in a reblog:#sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb#you might not have done enough research#you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument#you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this#sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution#you do what you can to fight against the problem#you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem#and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem#like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue#but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face#they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you#and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing#sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“#sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that#i used this while talking with my Dad tonight#he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution#and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now#and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it#and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate#and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before#i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help#and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change#but all I really could do is the little things I have control over#and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over#like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet#which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue#and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best#so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

one time my mom was talking about something, I don’t remember what, and she said “have you ever known the poverty of having nothing to say?” and when I say nothing has ever punctured my heart quite like that statement
#I don’t even fully know why. also I don’t think she even meant it how I took it#but there is just some part of me that does believe that that is the greatest poverty#when there are no words in your mind or heart. no phrases—nothing to rely on or fall back on#and you just have to struggle with the human condition and be able to express none of it#and I know that not everyone uses words like I do or relies on them that way but people need some words. they need something#this is why a) I never make fun of those Instagram accounts that are all cheesy inspirational quotes or whatever because people are trying#they are REACHING#also b) that’s why villains who are wordlessly violently destructive make me cry#because it’s just like—-yeah I can understand turning to violence if I didn’t have expression#if I couldn’t get anything out#also also this is not related but I watched some movie or tv show the other day (and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was)#but there was this couple on a date and the girl asks him to complete all these proverbs after she gives him the first half#because ‘a man who knows his proverbs can’t be all bad’ and it shook. Me. To. My. CORE.#also also!! this is why I teach! it’s the heart of it for me!! And why I make them memorize poetry. like.#and put quotes on the board every day. like. You will have words and images in your mind and your heart from my class if I have anything#to say about it#anyway sometimes my mom says things and casually devastates me#and I think (I think) she was just talking about the poverty of having no news because nothing is going on#and so you have nothing to share with someone. and she was talking about my Grandma and how sometimes she was just so sullen and quiet#but it’s just because there was nothing to say#anyway anyway anyway that is also why the one time on the phone my grandma said who has known the mind of the Lord —shook me so much#because she never really said anything. words were not her thing and she never quoted anything#and suddenly her saying this line of scripture that said more than any words I’d ever said —one of the defining moments of my life#tbh. anyway this is very long I’m sorry. I have woken up this morning crying about this. idk.

people are obsessed with portraying werehog as this uncontrollable monster who goes around killing people when hes literally just a weird dog
#i mean yeah hes sometimes more aggressive than usual buthes not like a feral monster or whatever hes literally just chilling#he only ever had a losing control and attacking his friends moment Once . in archie sonic.#but theres like. Context and shit. you know. reasons that he acted like that that arent just ''well werehog is his evil dark side !''#i mean i think alternate takes on werehog/unleashed where sonic struggles with the werehog stuff a bit more can be interesting#again like what archie sonic did . but to portray werehog as evil or basically a different person is kinda missing the point a bit i think#like the whole point is that theyre the same and that sonic has to learn to accept that part of himself . you know

"It’s Not Too Bad When You Get Used to It" by IneffableDoll
T, 8 chapters
CHAPTER 1: 3.3k
Following Armageddon’s failure, Aziraphale and Crowley perform the bodyswap, prepared to be captured by Heaven and Hell. But after both factions fail to show up the next day, the angel and demon must pretend to be the other for much longer than anticipated…
Hilarity ensues, feelings are felt, and no one anticipated so much breakfast being involved. But that’s ineffability for you.
*
Prewritten; will update every three days until completion. Come back on December 29th to binge!
A silly romp of Aziraphale and Crowley poorly playacting as each other, with fluff and feels because I can't help myself. Queerplatonic, aroace, lots of banter and humor! Book vibes and characterization with season one canon.
#gotta be honest i really love this fic#it has been SO fun to write and I really hope folks will enjoy it#i also hope the bodyswap part wont be too confusing as you try to visualize it while reading cuz I struggled sometimes lol#anyway! off i go to do some final edits on the last few chapters! wahoo!#good omens#good omens fanfic#good omens fanfiction#asexual#aromantic#queer#queerplatonic#bonus fun fact for ya if you're still reading these tags for some reason#i didn't actually intend for them to be aro in this one#but they gradually became just SO aro as I wrote that by the end#my intention to do a whole love confession first kiss thing didn't feel right at all#which isn't to say that they don't love each other or the ending isn't soft as Somewhere#cuz they do. and it is.#but yeah accidental aromanticism! we love to see it

question: have any of you personally seen a dietician (not looking for experiences with nutritionists, only dieticians), and did you find it helpful or useful, and if you did see a dietician and you ALSO have seen a GI doctor, how did the experience compare for you in terms of helpfulness + how much you felt listened to and helped?
#i'm trying to figure out which doctor appointments I want to bother making and spending money about for potentially no return on investment#and right now i'm trying to figure out if I'd get way more practical help from a dietician or if I need to suck it up and find a#not-elderly not-male not-dismissive GI doctor first and THEN see a dietician#although I cannot afford a bunch of tests#so like???#trying to figure out if a dietician would be more helpful overall with me not HAVING any GI diagnoses or eating disorders#and just really struggling with food in both sensory ways and unpredictable digestion ways that don't correlate with food allergies#god i sometimes wish i had food allergies so i could have some predictability#but yeah. i'm leaning towards dietician but figured i should crowdsource experiences#since I know a lot of you have health issues you've also been trying to manage for years and probably have good advice#if it helps i'm also in a major city now and have a decent-but-not-great health insurance plan so I'm good on those two fronts#to do#health#I know a dietician can't diagnose anything but I'd love help figuring out how to get maximum nutrition even when i can barely eat anything#or when my body decides to start getting sick from or (tw emetophobia) puking up fiber or fatty foods#which thankfully isn't often#now that I do cannabis daily in microdosing I have so much less pain and bloating and nausea#but when it hits it HITS#and the last time I tried going without cannabis for a couple days and then eating a fiber muffin I was sick six times in one morning#and didn't get my normal eating ability back until dinnertime#luckily that's not normal for me#but my issues bounce up and down so much#and I lose weight so fast whenever my appetite goes from 'barely ever there' to 'negatively nonexistent'#and I had like. two months last year where I think i reached my body's natural healthy set weight#and i needed so much food but it felt so good energy wise and temperature wise#and i'd like to STAY THERE FFS#and I feel like a dietician would be helpful for making meal options for good#*good and hard and nuclear alert level eating difficulty times#anyway. crowdsourcing. yay!
