Not and expert at all but one thing I've noticed about how people talk about economically recovering countries, or post-soviet states, etc etc is that almost every average person has shit to deal with on some level. You can't pretend that there isn't an issue because there's no way to not be aware. People will quickly point out how awful it is/was and how they're so glad they don't live there or hated living there. But in states like america, nobody (generalization) says that. They all point to the ''land of the free'' bullshit and ignore issues. Especially people from the places mentioned, and even more especially people who just don't have it in them to care. The american population is much more detached from the issues with their country because everyone who doesn't personally have to deal with problems caused by these issues or can still live a relatively nice life doesn't see anything wrong, or bother to mention it if they do. Thats the insidious thing about fascism and conservative ideology to me. Theres always people who aren't affected that think everything's fine, or working well for them, who refuse to believe anyone who's affected by it. And many of them are influential to the government.

#This post isn't really going anywhere #i was trying to explore why people can universally acknowledge certain countries were/are bad to live in and condemn the government but not #do the same for here #its worse if the people doing it have never lived there as well #like bro shut up abt russia youve never even lived there and here youre read as a white man bc you grew up speaking english #i can understand more if ppl have actually dealt with both #like hey youre not going to experience any of the huge issues other than the ones very specific to you if you arent a minority #thats affected. its not a lne size fits all type of opression #this is still not rly going anywhere idk if this is making sens3 #its why i have trouble talking abt issues in america with my grandparents bc ik mentally theyre taking in their current life and going #''this is better than what mexico was like when i left i'm not gonna jinx it''#there actually are bigger issues than gas prices here (and they know it but just dont want to confront it)#long tags #sorry #tag rant #need my meds back now i swear to fucking god #unsolicited thoughts

(uh, this is rlly long im so sorry qwq)

OMG THAT LAST CHAPTER HAD ME FEELING SM CARINA U CANT DO THIS TO ME !!!! LITERALLY THE FIRST FEW PARAGRAPHS IN I HADTA WALK AROUND BC I WAS SO OVERWHELMED I LOVED IT SM !!! N THOSE LAST FEW LINES. DONTDOTHISTOME I S A W THE "BEAST AU COMPLIANT" TAG ON UU IM GONNA SOB MY EYES OUT DURING IT I JUST KNOW !!!

gonna leave some of my fave few lines n my thoughts abt them from this chapter (ok these arent all of em, bc if i put all of em it'd be the whole 50k words of this series SO ITS JUST THIS CHAPTER)

"because how could he possibly belong amongst people who are so unfailingly good that it makes his tainted heart stick out like a sore thumb?"

STOP NO DONT DO THIS TO MEEEEEE throughout the whole fic u perfectly captured his thought process n how he denies his own capacity for change n how he HAS changed from when he was 18 BUT THIS LINE MADE ME TEAR UPPPPPP

"He is so completely and irrevocably in love with you that Dazai doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to live in a world without you. The thought alone makes his skin crawl and his chest cave in."

self-explanatory

“Are you calling me ugly?”

u gorgeous, gorgeous man ilysm yes you look like a rat but i'll swaddle u up in blankets n clean u up

the whole graveyard scene. DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY HELLO

“You were a kid, Osamu. You’re not some incarnate of evil for ending up where you did, you were failed by all of the adults in your life,”

ok nvm crying this hit me like a truck

"Humans cannot live without a heart, so if he’s to give you his, it’s only fair that you give him your own—though realistically, yours has already been his for a long time."

i feel like this mightve been ur fave line, but if it wasnt IT STILL IS MINE BC OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD QWQ

ranpos lil rant was so funny he's literally me frfr

“Yeah… ha, look at us, in jail at the same time! Couple goals, huh?”

i giggled

PLS READER INVITING EVERYONE JUST TO AVOID GETTING INTERROGATED UMMM RELATABLE LMFAO

these are just some of them BUT JUST IN GENERAL, UR WRITING IS JUST MAGICAL ITS EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED TO READ N I LOVELOVELOVEEEE THIS SERIES N ALL UR WORKS (n u /p) SM !!! I CANT WAIT FOR UNREAL UNEARTH, I JUST KNOW IT'LL BE AMAZING !!!

RED HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU NOT TO APOLOGIZE I LITERALLY ADORE YOU IM GOING TO WEEP OMG

honestly the first scene of dazai’s pov was one of my favs to write because it pisses me off so much whenever he’s excluded from the ada panels in the manga fjsjdjsjjd so i NEEDED the opportunity to hit home that that is his FAMILY idc what asagiri says the ada is that boys family and he deserves it 🥹🤞

UGHHHHH STOP BECAUSE WHENEVER I WRITE CANONZAI ITS SO HARD TO KEEP ON THAT THIN LINE OF HIS INABILITY TO ACCEPT HIS OWN GROWTH WHILE ALSO HAVING HIM ACKNOWLEDGING ODA’S LAST WISH FOR HIM SO I REWROTE SO MANY OF HIS POVS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WASNT GRASPING IT ALL PROPERLY

the graveyard scene was one of the 3 scenes i started writing for 🥹 i literally was weeping when i finally got to it

AND ALSO THE YOU WERE A KID LINE UGHHHHHHHH BRO when i tell you that’s something that i literally want to scream at him and shake his shoulders like he was FOURTEEN WHEN MORI BROUGHT HIM IN AFTER HIS ATTEMPT !!!!! FOURTEEN !!!!! HE WAS A BABY IT MAKES ME SO SAD WHEN HE FRAMES HIMSELF AS SOME IRREDEEMABLE MONSTER WHEN HE ONLY TURNED OUT THE WAY HE DID BECAUSE HE HAD NO ADULTS IN HIS LIFE SETTING HIM ON THE RIGHT TRACK ugh im gonna weep again i will always be dazai’s #1 defender, i will fight him himself idc he was only a lil baby :’)

oh my god fun fact i actually almost deleted that line about the heart, i don’t even know why like i was rereading it right before i post and i second guessed myself because i was like ‘i don’t think it rlly flows’ but then i decided against removing it because i liked the line in general SO IM WEEPING AGAIB

bro ranpo needs a promotion for real the headaches this man must get because of people not listening to him 💀

HDOSJDJSJDJJD THE COUPLES GOAL LINE WHEN I TELL YOU I SNORTED WRITING IT HELPPPPP I WAS GIGGLING SO HARD

RED ILYSM IM BUNDLING YOU IN THE SOFTEST BLANKETS AND GIVING YOU A FOREHEAD KISS

i’m so excited for unreal unearth like honestly it’s my pride and joy, i’m so pleased with how my beast!dazai characterization has come out so far and i’m hoping everyone else is going to like it too 🥹 if not ill simply die HAHAH JK JK JK no but really i’m so very excited for it

i know I'm really passionate about something when i hit all 30 tags in a rant. i am passionate about art ok!!! 😩 i got a lot of thoughts and feelings on that last post.

i didn't get to address it directly but Especially the point about art always being made for profit and to be sold. no it is not you fool!!! a child does not draw with a stick in the mud seeking to make a profit. our ancestors did not make cave paintings for profit. even practical things like pottery could've been made simple but ppl made them cute bc why not. none of my chokers are for sale, there are zero replicas and i make all of them at a loss. i have songs I've made on soundcloud and google drive bc i had fun making them and just wanted to freely share a song that doesn't exist anywhere else with anyone who wants to listen.

art is a very natural need to express and create that comes from within you. you can have your own desires, motivations, influences etc as an artist but art itself has never been only about or driven by profit.

it's just as natural as breathing and sleeping, i think of other modern stuff like that dude using the long pipe and its delayed echo to play his saxophone in a new way - or that person who realized they could play sandstorm depending on which bars they scrubbed in their shower caddy. the blankets and quilts made with love by grandparents to keep their family warm that gets passed down for generations.

we r just naturally creative, expressive playful creatures. to have something so fundamental about our nature reduced to something that's only being made where profit's involved is just not correct, but if that's the impression u have and the spaces u hang in then is it any wonder that all the art you're looking at in a sanitized corporate space is very sanitized and doesn't have much to say.

also because i cannot say it enough: if you want the weird art you need to let people be weird, you need to let people enjoy the weird art, if it is not your kind of weird then just keep it moving bc not everything is for everyone and that's okay. but you Have to let people be weird. being uncomfortable with something doesn't make the thing or people who enjoy it bad; there is no inherent morality to it. if y'all can't make room for weird people and their weird art to just exist somewhere, then ur not gonna find them at sanitized events like pride and will have to learn how to look for them. probably online.

I haven't posted on tumblr in a hot minute but I came back to say this.

Sasuke x Naruto shippers, get your asses out of the Sakura x Sasuke tag. Ur legit bitching over nothing.

We don't go all up in your tags and complain. And even if we do, it's bc y'all did it ours first.

More on this rant:

Not liking Naruto x Sasuke does not make you homophobic. Period. You don't have to like the ship at all, and there are legit REAL and CANON reasons people dislike the ship.

You do not have to like sakura x Sasuke either, I understand if someone would dislike the ship bc of how the relationship started and such.

Naruto x Sasuke shippers, please kindly take ur bullshit somewhere else. Sasuke and Sakura are canon, please kindly get over it. They are together, they have a child, they have had romantic moments in the anime, novels and manga. Get. Over. It.

You use the excuse that the relationship is dead, or that Sasuke is a shitty husband or father, or that Sakura is a shitty wife or some shit about her character and achievements, blah blah blah, I read a post about it and the person admitted they haven't watched Boruto, so they have zero idea of what's actually happening.

Sasuke, for one, isn't a shitty husband. Yes I will admit he is absent, but he feels deeply guilty for it, and tries his hardest to make up for it in the way he can.

Sasuke being a deadbeat dad, is so far from the truth that is actually shocks me. People say he only trains Boruto, which is very much not true. He trains sarada quite frequently. An example of this being the fact, he came back for the chunin exams to watch her, he actually states that to her and Sakura. He teaches her chadori (I can't spell it okay? Gimme a break) and water style actually. And it's even in the novels that when he does come home, he spends a lot of time with her, training her or even just spending time with her in general.

The idea he is a shitty husband, is so far from the truth, and you clearly have zero understanding of his character. (Also while where on this note, I would like to add; he would treat Naruto exactly the same as he treats Sakura, if him and naruto where canon that's the truth) he does small but powerful gestures to show his love and care for her. Such as tapping her forehead, holding her hand, saying thank you to her (which is the Japanese way of saying I love you), protecting her, eating the food she makes him and complementing it. There's more but I'm not gonna list em all here.

Now onto Sakura.

This idea that her achievements are fanon and not canon are just..insane to me.

Its literally stated in data books, anime and novels that not only is Sakura the head of the hidden leaf hospital, but she also OWNS hospitals/child mental health services in the sand and leaf.

It's stated that she is one of, if not the best medical nin, in the leaf and practically everywhere else.

She's also fought and defeated mostly everyone she's ever battled against. (not including Sasuke bc let's be real, that was not even a fight)

She's known for having monster strength, or superhuman strength.

She went up against shin, who had so many bloody sharigans he may as well be called Danzo 2.0 and kicked his ass.

Shes saved the lives of thousands.

This is getting super long so I won't list anymore, but please, if ur gonna argue about sasusaku or hate on either Sakura or Sasuke, please at least have your facts correct.

#sasusaku #sasuke x sakura #sakura haruno #sasuke retsuden #saradauchiha

Ya'll... I think I might start a new story, I have a... basic concept of what I want it to be like, and I already have a name (under the impression that I don't suddenly do a 180), I just need to do like... all the writing and make the characters LMFAO It's gonna be a little on the dreary side and dark (which is the kind of writing/genre i aspire to write about, also means I'm gonna have to redo my personal reshade that ive been cooking for like... 3 or 4 months... 😭)-

in the meantime, I might start working on gussying up my navi post (and by gussy up, i mean completely redo) because as nice as it is, it's, idk, a little outdated (i guess), I have an idea for a new theme except i'm either going to a) put it in the drafts and wait til I start the new story to post it so the info is all there or b) make it and then post it and when i start the new story, edit it and put the tags and stuff in for the story.

ALSO might do a name change cuz... this name came from WAYYY before i joined simblr, and its got a charm to it, but i dont rlly like it anymore,, it just dont sit with me the same way that it used to lmao

*(writing this after i posted cuz i forgot to say this - its under the cut and in regards to NSB with the new story - it also kinda turned into a rant lmfao) TL:DR for ppl who don't wanna read my stupid fucking rant: NSB is prob gonna go on a hiatus regardless of if i start a new story, cuz as much as I love it, it's started to feel like a chore and less of smth i enjoy (even tho, like I said, I rlly enjoy/love it) Sorry to my NSB enjoyers out there.

regarding NSB, yes it will probably go on hiatus when making this story bec writing is already kinda exhausting for me as well as editing and NSB has progressively became more and more story-driven than gameplay-driven, and especially after these three days, im kinda burnt out from NSB, i know i just left it off on a cliffhanger with the new baby, but to be honest, I don't wanna deal with another child, i barely get by dealing with the four, and dealing with toddlers> are so fucking annoying cuz of the Sim AI, which in and of itself is just demotivating, i do REALLY love not so berry, i love the story ive created with it, but i guess im just tired of playing the same generation for so long, not to mention the fact that i made it a rags to riches challenge, i know i didnt have to but i prefer to, and bc of that, i havent been able to properly decorate, and i dont really wanna go back on myself, if i decide to continue NSB, i will probably take the RTR rules away since its so annoying to deal with having like, 1000 simoleans all the damn time. Also, i've been planning what to do for generation 3 since catty gave birth, but i had to put NSB on a hiatus bc of a stupid glitch and was only recently able to start it up again, and I still havent moved onto the next gen. I kinda lost the plot with that rant, but basically, NSB will probably go on hiatus, regardless of the new story, I've been wanting to dwell more on Roo and his whole story and the people in his universe and after a bit, NSB has started to, as much as I love it and the storytelling and whatever, feel like a chore, which kinda hurts to say, but its true. Sorry to any of my not so berry enjoyers out there

#anyways my brain is ROTTING thinking about this story #obsessed and it has barely formed an existence LMFAO #as for the navi post ive also had a bit of a brain worm for it i just havent been able to start cuz of vday posts lmao #only prob with writing and staging a story is that i have tend to have very expansive ideas that are gna require so much time and energy #and im the typa person who wants to get it done in one sitting so ig doing this would mean being a lot more patient and slowing down #which go figure i probably wont be able to finish writing the story in one sitting lmao but considering me ill *want* to finish it in one #sitting #yapping

Get to know me better

Whoop! Here I am, getting tagged on my art blog to do an ask game lmao. Thank you @theaceofarrows for tagging me.

Currently Reading:

Murder on the Orient Express, always. It’s a classic, what can I say?

Along with that, I’m always rereading the Six of Crows duology.

Favorite Color:

I’m so basic but I love any shade of blue but most particularly I love this very dark shade of turquoise that I can’t really describe without photos.

I also really like navy blue, gold, and silver.

Last Song I Listened To:

Kyouran Hey Kids!! By the Oral Cigarettes. Sorry, I’m a nerd and I can’t stop imagining my ocs kicking ass to this song. (“Who is the master who calls my favorite name!”)

Last Movie I Watched:

If we’re gonna go with the last movie I actually liked, I would say the Glass Onion. It doesn’t top Knives Out in my heart, unfortunately, but it is immensely good. I could go on a 2 hour long rant about its storytelling and messages.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory:

That’s rough, seeing as I enjoy all three! Gonna have to go with savory though for the fact that I love butter chicken and chicken piccata

Currently working on:

At any given moment, stuff for my ocs (Calem and Lyra my beloveds, you WILL get your spotlight eventually) and at least one DTIYS but the one I’m pouring the most focus into what would be chapter 4 of Serpents and Shadows.

Here, take a WIP before I go (by the way, this one is optional, I added it bc I wanted to post my art so anyone I tag isn’t obligated to answer this one)

Tagging:

@evergreenempress (bc you follow my main blog hms-siren, I don't know you that well but would like to)

@bluefire-axolotl (bc I think you’re always down for these but no pressure)

and @disasteroulik (bc I always vibe with an old friend)

#hails talks #ask game #thanks for the tag!

Ok I just FINALLY finished bojack horseman after taking a very long break from it cuz it was not good for my depression BUT!!! I was strong enough to finish it and I’ve followed this blog for years and I know you self ship with bojack but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post explaining how you fit into that world?? Like, what’s your role, how did you and bojack meet, how does your story grow along with the others? AND!! Woooo, “the view from halfway down” episode was. Wow. How would you/your s/i (idk which one you use) react to all that? Are YOU maybe the one bojack calls instead of Diane? Do you/your s/i have their own “view from halfway down” episode? Sorry if this is a lot but I’m back into this show now and I’d love to know your role in the whole thing. :)

SOBBING CRYING SHAKING RN HOLY SHIT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I GOT SEEING THIS FJEJCJEJXJS

Also i get having to take breaks with this show bc if you aren't doing well it will NOT be good for you fjekwjcje I'm on my 4th (5th?) Rewatch rn after like a year (it's a comfort show) [ALSO VIEW FROM HALFWAY DOWN POG??? <- (my top favorite episode)]

BUT ALSO IM. SO GLAD YOU ASKED BC I HAVE SO MUCH LORE FOR THIS MFCKER AND IM TOO NERVOUS TO TALK ABT IT WITHOUT BEING PROMTED !!!

I'm gonna put everything under the cut for SPOILER REASONS but also PLEASE read the tags just in case!!! We're talking abt the mfckin CANON timeline I have for my self insert shits depressing as hell (also I hope I generally explained everything fjejcjdh bad at doing that smtimes)

I'm almost glad I'm not talking abt the Childhood friends au bc its SO softcore like wheres the angst bestie? But also damn. Why all the angst in the canon tl? Chill OUT /lh

Generally the canon tl follows the show pretty accurately, aside from the fact that IM there and a few things r obviously different

I met him in a bar during the 90s! It was one of those "Oh we're both actors! Pog." And we basically drank together and trauma-bonded. They quickly become good friends (It was funny, considering the first thing we said to eachother was "oh you look familiar" and "YOU'RE THAT GUY FROM THAT SHOW I WATCH!" Truly the start of a wonderful friendship.)

And, I basically stayed around him. The Whole Time- through Herb getting fired and both of our shows ending and various depressive episodes (on both ends), parent funerals and hallowern parties and benders and awful horrible shows that definitely should never be mentioned nor have been put on air.

And weird one night stands with eachother that never get brought up the next day (or at all for that matter) just to keep things from being weird.

So I've known him for awhile, and I've stuck around for awhile, basically a ride or die friend (with a tiny little crush that I'm not acknowledging) that's my role, the Yearning Best Friend- so cringe but it works out in the end.

I think, major event wise, everything still happened the same. It's right until S4 when things are, a little different? (Not by much though)

When he heads to his old family summer home he invites me to come with (I also didn't think itd be smart to leave him alone) and through that entire trip he told me about Horsin Around and his family and at a point a drunken rant abt New Mexico that neither of us remembered in the morning. (It was a bonding trip, definitely the start of Feelings too) we start dating in the middle of that season (specifically when we all got trapped underground, you confess a lot when you think you're going to die)

So naturally, S5 is different too, he's not dating Gina in that season, but everything still happens the same otherwise. (Of course I knew something was off the whole time, you don't stay friends with someone for several years and NOT notice when something's off, motherfucker wouldnt *talk* to me though, and when he did it was to tell me someone was trying to sabotage the show and of course you cant have two paranoid mfers under the same roof, they just end up fueling eachother until it's too late and something horrible happens)

And something horrible happened, and Diane told me about what she thought happened in New Mexico, and I'm thinking "I feel like I've heard this story before." And then Bojack tells me what happened in New Mexico and then he choked his co-star and hes going to rehab and everything is obviously too much and I tell him I can't visit of course, because theres a lot of information i need to process, but I'll still write and I'll still text and watch over the house while he's gone since I practically live there at this point but I cant see him rn.

And I didn't! Until he got out of rehab, of course and it was back to "Bojack and Jackson against the world!" And "Let's move! Go somewhere different get a change of scenery!" And we did. He got that job at the university and I! Stayed with him, ever the loyal boyfriend. (Until in getting calls from a reporter and suddenly we're trying to figure out what shitty thing he did before the reporter calls and Oh. It's about Sarah Lynn and Oh!! Thus is certainly new information I wasn't told about! Fuck.)

After the interview- the second one- it was...complicated. I didn't want to leave but i also recognized that i needed to. For now, to let him deal with the aftermath of his mistakes because if he came to me- and he did- he'd be looking for reassurances I couldn't give him. We got into a really bad argument, it was moreso implied that we weren't dating anymore, neither of us said it but we both walked away and that was the last time we spoke.

It's so funny that you asked abt The View From Halfway Down because I was literally just thinking about that episode the other day and if he would've called me and not Diane and honestly! Yea. He did! Tho he called me. Twice that day, once before, after he left Angela's house, and again before he got back in the pool- I picked up the first time but he was pretty much incomprehensible and I couldn't pick up the second time so when I called back and he didn't answer I was. Quick to panic. (I was right for being worried too, all things considered)

And then he went to jail. And we didn't see eachother again until PC's wedding (bonded a lot with her, during that break up period. It was hard y'know? But she got it. Also I was Helping Babysit with Todd, she was rlly making me rethink my opinion on adopting a kid)

We didn't start dating right away tho, but we did start hanging out again? So that was a bonus!

#oh my GOD ok im sorry parts of this are longer than others my brain was like RAMBLE TIME but also NO KING ITS ALREADY TOO LONG #the canon tl is a lot worst bc its realistic abt our relationship? angst at 100 but thats just how it should be #usually my art isnt apart of the canon tl. its either for the childhood friends pack or a Good Ending tl #good ending pack: where my general presence skips over certain major plot events but not too many where its suddenly the PERFECT Outcome.#srry im rambling in the tags cjdjcjdj #ty for letting me talk abt the tl srry if its...jumbled? while my s/i has the most lore out of all of them. im still bad at talking abt it #in a coherent manner #also! dont think Jack would have his own view from halfway down or at least if he did #its bc he joined Bo.jack in his near death experience which i haven't actually thought abt until now? definitely smth to think abt :0!!!!#fjfjdhf rambling srry- ty again! i love talking abt them sm #♡: i love you mr. blue #☆ask #tw alcohol mention #tw drug mention #tw death mention #ask 2 tag #☆lets put a pin in it

Can you believe that Hearts is talking about you again

lmao, really? god ... i bet this is gonna take a while if it's anything like her previous "rants" -

(also, to the anons who take it upon themselves to keep tabs and share crumbs on the chucklefuck collective - gz, you've just earned the descriptor "my little birdies" in my tags 🐦)

... hahaAHAH GOOD GOD HEARTS

the fact that there's at LEAST 5 posts in reference or alluding to me in some way, 2 of which (minimum) are either reblogs/reposts from yourself about myself and another user (whom i have my own gripes with, yet you seem to assume is my "ally" in this "misinformation" campaign against you? darling, not only are you hardly main-character material, but i operate in accordance to my OWN principles - if you feel like there MUST be some conspiracy against you on this site, then perhaps you should start thinking about the fact that perhaps there's a "reason" (you, you're the reason) that everyone and their not-so-best-friend seem to be reaching the same conclusions based on available evidence -

oh look, here's a list of recent posts if anyone wants to skim through this drivel:

[oh.] [my GOD] [i wish i were joking but] [alas] [if only i weren't so easily "triggered"] [not like hearts, who knows how to move on] [truly an inspiration to us all /s]

i won't subject everyone to a complete breakdown of every single post in its entirety - because i actually have faith in my audience and their ability to think critically within a given context

i WILL, however, clarify those that have been taken out of context and pick apart the ones that most made me laugh:

if you at least TRIED to keep all mentions of me off of your blog, then perhaps i wouldn't be so inclined to keep coming back - after all, it IS a publicly available blog, and i am curious each time i am invoked - not to mention, you may have "blocked" me, but blocking someone does not make you immune to their opinions nor does it make you invisible to their browsing - it simply makes it so that they cannot directly interact with you. think of it as a one-way shield, no - a blindfold. you don't HAVE to see what anyone has to say about you. and most people don't care - at least, not unless you're caught throwing stones within your glass enclosure. it's just rather unfortunate that there are PLENTY of cracks on your walls when you consider how you're responsible for each and every one of them.

ah, back with the aphobia 🙃 seriously, what is it with allos - and i don't mean all allos - i specifically mean these types of desperate, friendless, unwarranted-self-importance types - thinking that reducing one to one's sexual status is ... some sort of epic dab on someone they don't like??? bc i mean -

1. that's none of their business, and in fact can be classified as sexual harassment in that it indirectly assumes disclosure of one's intimate affairs,

2. is so painfully desperate like - do you REALLY put so much value on sex that you basically think all other pursuits in life are worthless in comparison? bc frankly i feel BAD for you - god, imagine thinking people are worthless if you can't have sex with them. imagine having no hobbies, no interests, no passions that don't involve putting hands down your pants bc you truly think so little of platonic bonds and the human capacity for creative output and imagination, and

3. we both follow a kinky, raunchy franchise with a prominent asexual character in the main cast - you're really gonna try and shit on that and what it means for the community and it's members? lmao go fuck yourself, maybe the coital bliss will make you feel better about yourself ("oooooo, the asexual robot blog said the fucky-wucky words" - yeah, bc i've been on the internet for a LONG time and let me tell you, as a fully fledged adult asexual, neither i nor other aces give a fuck what you think about us nor the ways you try to infantilise our community and experience - hell, within this fandom alone, i guarantee you the kinkiest members are the asexuals themselves, whose content you and other undeserving cunts have probably gotten themselves off on (and on that note, i'd like to share that i share explicit and erotic artwork on discord, across various adult fandom servers mainly consisting of asexual members - why? well, it's not a coincidence that we continuously find ourselves flocking to one another (frankly, it's bc we find allo-focused content to be too vanilla as all fuck, LMAO)

anyway, special mention to [this post] - the fact that you unironically reblogged this, the fact that despite all of evidence to the contrary, you still seem to believe you are the "queer" in the setup when you are in fact the "non-queers", and that this COMPLETELY goes over your head, to the point where you genuinely believe yourself to be a queer "martyr" as you ... respond in the most hypocritical fashion about your own insecurities? yeah okay, seems legit i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9 months ... is practically a year ... i LITERALLY had no idea about the whole anniversary bullshit until seeing it on YOUR page, where you mention petitprincess1 which, makes sense, HER anons brought it up, but then why drag me into it? with the most recent mention of me being a mere 3 days ago over a period of 3 whole weeks (imagine posting about someone for 3 weeks ... when they haven't even thought about you in 9 months LOL)

newsflash: being in a wheelchair doesn't mean you get free range to be an asshole. and not being in a wheelchair does not make you an automatic target for wheelchair bound individuals to take out their aggression on. doing so just makes you a verified A-S-S-H-O-L-E, regardless of what mobility aids you may/may not use. maybe consider getting some fucking therapy, you angry fuck.

i was defending said sex-worker and their claims to their ethnicity. furthermore - you're really going to hold me accountable for that? instead of the person who actually uploaded the image with the intention so share it so that they could dunk on said sex-worker bc this person was the one with all the stupid biases? lol ok, i'm p sure my 1-2 reblogs made ALL the difference on that post, when the person responsible for it had previously and consistently been flooding the tags with pointless shit and to the point of accumulating a mass following which most DEFINITELY saw the post, of course. my mistake~

i called out a 12 yr old masquerading as a 17 yr old attempting to police and run a purity brigade on a show aimed at adult audiences, using their minor status as "justification" for their bullshit. that is not being angry at them lying about their age, that is being angry at them for actively involving themselves in spaces not meant for them and then them being OFFENDED that ... people were able to spot them talking out of their ass from a mile away. and instead of just taking the hint and leaving the clearly inappropriate space (or just learning to lurk without interacting, and without advertising their highly vulnerable underage status) they chose to block out the voices telling them to get the fuck out for their OWN GOOD, and ended up being surrounded by ADULT antis "coddling" her in ways that were SIGNIFICANTLY more uncomfortable than my playing up the angry internet boogeyman role

lmao are we still talking about me? or are you just projecting your own insecurities here 🤭

love how hearts posts this, and then the most recent post mentioning me is ...

lmao. someone sure missed me.

i've addressed it before, but still think it's fucking hilarious that somehow the irony of that specific statement on this specific website somehow went over their head as "un-ironic". also, my anons are my anons - you have beef with them, you take it up with them (or don't, since you've probably blocked half the website by now, lol). i'm simply here to relay their anonimosity and provide commentary (inb4 "haha orn can't spell" - it's called a portmanteau, and i'm fucking hilarious)

... no idea if you're a racist genius or just lucky and stupid, but did you HAVE to combine lin manuel miranda's name with [manuel ellis, victim of police brutality and one of many victims whose final words were reduced to "i can't breathe"]?. bc, REAL fuckin classy of you. like no, really god you're a real work you racist piece of shit

also ... i have a real job, lol. why do you think i forgot about your shitty essays for the past 9 months? maybe you should get a real job - i doubt anyone with a "real" job in the "real" world has the luxury to be staying up 'til 4am responding incomprehensibly to detractors they supposedly "don't care about"

not one of my anons/followers/mutuals afaik but LMAO ✋✋✋

>says this after posting insults directly meant to harass/demean my asexuality for 3 WHOLE WEEKS despite my having forgotten about their existence for 9 MONTHS.

hypocrisy! hypocrisy!

also, the fact that you even know what's going on in our blogs enough to make posts about is is clear evidence that you're JUST as guilty as "block-evading" as anyone else. only more guilty, bc YOU'RE the one who enacted the block to begin with. this was literally YOUR decision!!! and yet you STILL going out of your way to defeat the whole point of blocking us!!! how stupid can you be!!!

see above. that is NOT how blocking is supposed to work, dipshit

again - i'm not the one that spent 3 whole weeks shouting into the void, lol

oh noooo, your sarcasm is SOOOO subtle. again, this is just sad - maybe go get a real friend instead of trying to fill w/e void you possess in your soul with belligerence from internet strangers - maybe go back to fucking and having all that wild and kinky sex you keep mentioning as a contention of pride - at the very least it'd keep your hands busy and off the keyboard, spare us the edgy bravado and monologues

*peers at tags on rush edited books post* publishing industry essay? im very interested in what you have to say esp. iron widow

Long rant below (there are spoilers as well)

I think the problem basically lies in an imbalance between aesthetics vs. understanding that is seen in the transition from 'I have an idea' to 'OK, now let's give that idea a body'.

This can be seen, for example, in the trite formula in which this type of books is recommended nowadays, but which is only a natural response to the fact that, if you stop to think about it for a sec, it is difficult for you to separate the aesthetic of the story (the labels with which the book has been sold to you; which is an easier and faster way to stand out in the market and sell too) from how this story has been constructed and what the story has been trying to tell you.

When I speak of 'understanding', what I mean is that, speaking of Iron Widow, if the publicity for your book sells me the expectation that I am facing a story that drinks a cocktail between The Handmaid's Tale and Pacific Rim, then I'm hoping to read and see how you innovate and develop it beyond the aesthetic, the appetizing. Because whether you like it or not, by describing your book and selling it in this way, you are creating in the reader ideas of what can be expected in this story if they know the sources from which you have been inspired.

The problem tho is that there is a significant lack of understanding in what made those books work in the first place (the books you are taking inspiration from). The problem is that you gotta do a work of critical analysis on what influenced you and in how you will translate and subvert those themes on your own story. Meaning: you take the basic concept of The Handmaid's Tale of having a world ruled by an oppressive patriarchy view in all its forms and you frame it in a sci-fi genre which by choosing this specific genre you are gonna find yourself, as the author, in a demand situation bc sci-fi by itself deals a lot with questioning the system, it demands to work on your worldbuilding and how it is gonna get affected by the ideas and morals you develop.

You need to get how the mechanics/the roots of the narrative elements (the plot, the narrative voice, the characters, the pacing, the idea) of The Handmaid's Tale were presented, how they were developed and how all those elements combine in a way that feels natural. But Iron Widow doesn't do that. If The Handmaid's Tale works well is because the protagonist comes from a world where she was free and her rights were respected vs to the completely opposite of that that is her current world, so of course there is gonna be a cognitive conflict and a moral one from the very beginning because the context of the book itself presents it in a way that makes sense for the protagonist to be against it. Another example of this would be The Hunger Games where the plot is the opposite from Atwood's: the protagonist already lives in an oppresive world and has known nothing else beyond this. So there is an evolution that is built slowly across three books on the perspective of the protagonist from a 'i only care about my family and surviving myself, and not so much if the world is shit' to the fighting and revolution.

Iron Widow from the very beginning has a protagonist that even tho has lived her whole life in an oppresive world, in a extremely poor village and has barely resources to get to know the outside world and/or get to know other people's perspective, is in any case 100% feminist and ready to fight the world. There is no conflict between how she was raised and how the world works vs a change on her perspective*, and when there is some conflict is resolved in one paragraph (and i am not exaggerating on this). This is makes you feel and think that is because of what i have said above: because when suddenly working on your own book after taking inspiration from another, you didn't think how to develop that world bc you didn't understand in the first place how it worked for the other books (and how it works in real life, for the matter) and how the protagonist responded to the conflict themselves because there is not a formula that summarizes how all of us react to trauma and pain and oppresive systems (but there is definitely a coherent way your character reacts based on the developing of the narration).

*in part it is because this progress is made off screen but we never actually get how she worked her prev mindset which I find interesting bc there are many instances in the book where other characters (like the protag mom and grandma or the other female pilots) are hinted to have problems with the world views and might be willing to give a step to changing (just like the protag at some point in her life was I suppose) but bc the only characters that matter in this book are the main trio and the rest are.... Awful characters I guess, that challenging prejudices never happens

It then makes you have a more aesthetic vision (where you tik all the boxes: oppresive world, badass queer protagonist, etc) of the book rather than giving the narrative space to grow and deal with crisis.

Another thing of lack of this understanding, is that sometimes it also gives you the feeling that the author has a plan for certain elements to happen in the book, but they are either not well developed or forgotten (and this makes you think of the 'where are the editors? didn't they like ask them about it?'). For example, the prologue of the book: i like the prologue of the book or at least 'the idea' of the prologue. I've read reviews where people have criticized the prologue in a bad way, and i honestly can understand why they do and i will explain now. The thing about the prologue is that is narrated by the person who killed the protagonist's sister. Which, by itself, i think it is a cool idea if there was a follow up to that.

There are books like The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold or Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin (still reading this one) where they have multiple narrators and some of them are from the perspective of extremely awful person (in one case a ped*phile, and in the other a TERF). The thing about those books is that they are trying to make a point on how dehumanization works. Which, once again, is not the case for Iron Widow.

In its case, the perspective of the murderer only comes into the prologue, but it becomes ineffective and it shows a lack of planning by the author not only because of that, but because the narration frames the death of the protagonist sister in an objectified way. The sister is not a person, is not a character with agency, a character we get to know and empathize bc a) when the book starts she is already dead and b) we don't even get flashbacks or smth about her with the protagonist or smth. It is a motivation for the protagonist to go in a revenge arc, but nothing else. In the end, if you pretended to show how aberrant the behaviour of the murder was in the prologue, it should have then be showed by the protagonist and the narration themselves, there should have been a coherent frame between voice narrator and narration when portraying the sister and this whole situation to make a point. But there is no point.

There is a disconnection from what it seems the author is trying to cover, what the narration is leading to and then not doing so, and the motivation of the protagonist (whom to make matters worse is in first person so this lack of harmony between elements seems even bigger. For example, how the poly relationship is developed in this story, which feels underwhelmed and rushed after all the promotion and stuff about it, because part of that relationship building is happening in the background where Zetian, the protagonist, is unaware of it occurring. We also just needed more actual interactions between the main trio that felt more personal than based on the action for that to click better. I also think, and this is more of a personal thing, that I would have liked more if this was a slow burn that happened across the following books rather than happening in the first book).

There is a saturation of ideas; in one book, and because of how they sold the book, there is this feeling that they have to cover all those things they promised the readers (the badass protagonist, the queer + poly relationship, etc) or otherwise it would be fake advertising; instead of leaving the book to take its time to develop these characters rather than showing them like an already final product and developing ideas slowly instead of rushing in the big plot points. There needs to be a harmony between the voice of your narrator, the pacing, the way you present your characters and the world, the structure and the ideas you want to tell and the ideas you've drunk from, or otherwise your book just stays in a nice concept in theory.

(imma say tho that this is also the first book that the author published so maybe things will improve in the future. But then again there are books in the YA genre who fall into these same problems even when the authors have had previous writing experience)

#i don't know if i made sense or this is like all over the place because my brain is now in exams mode but i try #i could have like criticized many other things but i didn't want this to be too long #i tried* fuck i am dying

❄️ and 🧩

Either/or

(or both...🙏)

I have a headache rn so please ignore any spelling mistakes

I'm gonna talk about hanadan in all those answers bc its the fandom i write fic for

❄️ ⇢ what’s your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

I have so many ideas i want to write but i never finish the first draft or never get around to writing it at all. I'm gonna say a few ones bc if i said everything we would be here the whole day and i wouldn't have any drafts left :

sometimes i have some crazy ideas that would be great on paper but i never manage to write bcs it would take me too long to finish. Like, years ago I had a plot idea that was "amnesia plot, but instead of thinking yumi is his girlfriend, Junpyo thinks jihoo is his boyfriend." I still think this would be incredibly funny to write, but it would need many chapters to finish... and i don't know how i would finish this. Bc making Junpyo/Jihoo get together is tempting, but i can't do this to Jandi, lol. Maybe i should make it a throuple but then it would take even longer to develop.

I also have many ideas with no plot tied to them, which makes things complicated bc, well, i need a plot to write the fic. Like I really want to write a animal-human hybrid Au fic for them which is just an excuse to write them as cat/dog/whateverboys but i have no excuse plot for it. My mind is just "fuck yeah, foxboy yijung!" and then no plot for that idea. I also sometimes want to write a F4 royalty!au but then i stop and remember that 1- there is already a manga chapter with that concept and i don't want it to feel like a copy 2- wtf would even be the plot?

And then there is the ships-nobody-cares-about category. I kind of have a draft for a Sakurako/Kazuya oneshot but who would even read it? 😭 Like, nobody even posts in the animanga tag for this fandom to begin with.

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

I'm very picky with the fic I read, so basically anything could make me click away if I'm not in the mood. Some of the reasons are obvious stuff most people can agree with like "the entire fic is one single paragraph block with no breaks" or untagged watersports. But one thing that makes me click away and i keep running into is character or ship bashing. I don't care if the fic has my otp in it, i don't want to read your rant in the author's notes about how junpyo is a shitty person or whatever. Even worse if the character you are bashing is half of the couple in your fic, bc why are you writing about it in the first place? And when it's in the fic i can tell the difference between a character disliking the other and the author disliking the character. And while i am all for disliking whatever character you want, i just have like... *checks list* ...two characters i actively dislike in the hanadan franchise, and they are both minor characters, so whatever bashing i see is likely to be about someone i like and i'm not gonna read that.

One thing I also dislike but won't make me click away because it seems that everyone and their mother does it in this fandom is when people tag a couple that is not endgame in the fic (ex: a rui/tsukushi fic where she starts dating tsukasa, but she breaks up with him for them to get together but the writer still tags tsukasa/tsukushi anyway.) WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO FIND WHAT I WANT?! OR WHAT YOU WANT?! Same thing happens with fics of adaptations. If someone is writing a fic for, say, F4 Thailand, THERE IS NO NEED TO PUT IT IN THE TAG FOR THE MANGA AND THE KDRAMA AND METEOR GARDEN AND THE JDRAMA. Even worse when they do with the manga and jdrama bc the characters have the same names, so it happened more than once for me to click on a fic thinking its about the anime or manga but, surprise! It's a jdrama fic bc they are talking about something that has not happened in the manga at all. It's exhausting and seems impossible to avoid.

hi, i just read all of ur posts tagged as misqnon's one piece liveblogging and it was so much fun T-T. im here to rant about one piece and im sorry.

i really love seeing people react to content i am caught up with and hold close to my heart.

i got into the 800s in the anime and stopped watching, took a break and then read the manga up to around 1060. but last month i decided to read the whole thing from the beginning and it is genuinely SO WORTH IT.

after u have caught up completely its super rewarding to go back and look at previous chapters bc its constant "oh my god look what was foreshadowed here??" and "now i understand the context behind this!!!" and "this interaction is so much more meaningful now that i know their relationship!!". yes it did take me a whole month of nearly nonstop reading to catch back up but i have 0 regrets.

wano and the arc after it are both super fun and interesting and i think ur gonna love it. the lore is crazy. i hope u dont see any spoilers bc going into it completely blind will probably be way more exciting, especially with the most recent arc since its kinda suspenseful and mysterious,,.

anyways thats all i have to say how do you end these things.. take care!!

AAAAA ANON THIS IS SUCH A FUN MESSAGE TO RECIEVE THANK YOU...

I ended up talking a lot so I'll put this under a cut lol

I used to be the person who said I would never watch one piece 😭😭 I've been into anime since I was like 12 and I'm almost 24 now (fuck . That's like half my life) and obviously it's always been on my radar but I always thought it was 1. Too popular 2. Too Long 3. Hated how oda draws women lmao so I was fine ignoring it and only knowing the basics from just Being On The Internet

I think sometime early on I caved and attempted to watch it- I got to alabasta and stopped bc the anime pacing wasn't doing it for me (though I liked it up until then, but didn't LOVE it)

cut to high-school where a couple of my good friends liked it but we never really talked about it, it was a lifelong interest for one of them bc he'd started reading it on like 4th grade

Well I'm still friends with them (shoutout to sam and seb) and they convinced me to watch one piece film red with them in like July or August of last year bc they were showing me the songs and I, ado fan bc I'm a retired weaboo and a vocaloid Stan, was like "haha that sounds like ado" and they went "IT IS!!!!??" so I had to watch it for her.

again, I was like oh this is fun I like this :^) but no IMMEDIATE interest, more of a passive thing... until the live action came out a month or so later and I watched it just because and DAMN I FELL IN LOVE FAST

I went back to the anime and rewatched the beginning, then skipped back to alabasta where I had left off years and years ago and now I'm Here 🧍

I watched up through part of dressrosa before I started reading the manga, and now I'm doing that while watching certain episodes of just the parts I really wanna see animated

It's been. So Fun

I am now that person who's like Hey You Should Watch One Piece. I get it now. I so get it lmao. And you know the weirdest part is that with it being divided up into arcs like it is I find myself thinking it really doesn't feel that long!?!? Am I insane,

anyways. It's been a while since I was in an active fandom or even in a fandom at all - ESPECIALLY such a big one!?! (I was in college for 4 years and Busy).

but it's. Crazy. I'm writing fanfics and joining discord servers and I've never done that before. it's been very fun and rewarding tbh...I don't like a lot of things about oda and aspects he included and ofc one piece isn't perfect or unproblematic but it IS a really awesome epic of a story about friendship and found family and anti authority and its just.

I'm also a person who's always loved reaction videos or just even seeing otherppl react to things I like so I RELATE AND IM SO GLAD I CAN BE THAT FOR U...

I'm ngl as I've been reading I've been wanting to look up some old one piece forums dated the time certain reveals happened bc I want to see how people felt as this shit came out holy Shit....

it's additionally funny bc this blog is about 10 years old and has amassed a decent amount of followers over the years who were just into some of the other random stuff I've been into but I know a fair amount of them were thinking we were on the same page of not being into one piece and now here I am. Ruining that. And with the pervert character as my favorite no less. lmao SORRYYYY YALL <3

I'll leave u with this message I sent into the discord I share with some friends the other day, none of which really watch op, when asked to explain something about the show. In fact, I think the reasoning for this message was BECAUSE I was explaining to a friend just how much oda foreshadows things!! jinbei, kaido, haki, sanjis backstory, ALL being mentioned by name or referenced DECADES/YEARS BEFORE APPEARING ON SCREEN...HUNDREDS OF CHAPTERS APART....I could rant on more but I'll stop for now.

thank u for the message and feel free to dm me to talk about this silly show anytime bc its sunken its claws into me 😭

#ive been saying since like thriller bark how excited i am to get caught up andYea. its even stronger now #misqnon's one piece liveblog #im going to be going insane as we enter wci and posting more reactions most likely so.#hope u emjoy that 👍#microphone effect #replies #asks #march anon

Bestie u intentionally or not implied mercy should die in ur reblog tags. Maybe think b4 u say shit? Ur rambling in the tags def reads as "ur disgusting and have an issue and i think you should die for it". If that wasnt what u meant i suggest uhhh learning from this and read something a few times b4 posting it. Bc tags arent private. They deadass show up in notifs lol

Anon with all due respect the only thing you M A Y be referring to is the post about xenasaur banning me

The problem is less her posts and more the reaction to me going "look i get the point but PLEASE i hope this is just some rp thing" because its just...

H- yeah this is gonna require a rant of my personal opinioni and observations ffs

Did you read the actual reblog i made as a response??? Its not my problem but i cannot do anything other than say something

Also the Freud thing is because like. Im pretty fucking sure relief doesnt mean orgasm.

And Freud applied THAT... to

Literal newborn children.

Have you seen howards mom in BBT? She was INSUFFERABLE and based her parenting on FREUD. I dont care how sheldons mom turns out to be even more screwed once Young Sheldon rolled around, the fact that SHE was the reasonable one??? I swear that series sometimes was a drug trip and a THIRD.

At best, i should have shut up about the ick or MAYBE word it better but Noooooo~ just because im a bit of a prude (cant deny it) (i mean, r34 is not counted for this but hey as long as its not something on the lines of GOATSE or 2GIRLS1CUP? Fine by me) i should be thrown in the garbage can with those pissbuckets from MAGA. Holy shit.

And if youre gonna try and make me sound homophobic (even though gender was not mentioned till now but I KNOW HOW TUMBLR WORKS) just. No.

I have seen gay couples in media for A LONG TIME and even IN REAL LIFE. And believe me when i say that im pretty sure "gay ships" are the one thing left that keeps me happy. My job here on tumblr is this

Fuck over the powerscaling even though im a literal nobody (my first interaction on tumblr was a comment from @itsapmseymour calling me MID) (and I wrote fucking @pmseymourva so I DONT EVEN REMEMBER-)

Try and make everyone NOT kill eachother irl over opinions (mine or not)

Be Funny.

And if that means im attention seeking then so be it. I dont even have tiktok or instagram but i have a youtube channel and i WILL slap it on others faces

#Alex's Answering Machine #read the read more its free Alex Going Batshit Insane #one day people are gonna make documentaries on youtube on this and i dont want them to overwork themselves
