#its just an amazing story in general
Reasons to read Six of Crows
1. Actually good representation
- all the crows have ptsd of some sort that actually affect their actions
- religion also affects their actions (eg. Inej with her saints and unwilling to kill, Matthias with djel)
- Jesper and inej are darker skinned
- wylan is gay and jesper and Nina are bi
- wylan has dyslexia that he's really ashamed of because of his father(and when he told Kaz he(Kaz) literally just shrugged!!)
- Kaz is physically disabled (his leg) and needs to use a cane
2. Nina is canonically thick and curvy but is still described as beautiful and badass
3. Again with Nina
- she does eat more than the other crows and they don't judge her for it
- when she starts to eat less bc of parem her friends panic and try to get her to eat more
- and when she starts eating again they're so fucking happy
4. All the crows have their own horrible backstory and yet none of them have ever been in a toxic relationship
5. The boundaries that characters set are actually respected (eg. Kaz with his gloves and no-touch rule)
6. It's so funny ("My ghost won't associate with your ghost", "I'm going to get someone to burn my kruge for me / you could pay someone to pay someone to burn your kruge / I'll pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to burn my kruge / you know what the really big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone...", "MAYBE I LIKED YOUR STUPID FACE" among other examples)
7. There are such impactful and beautiful quotes ("I would come for you", "I have been made to protect you" etc)
8.
Tumblr media
9. To elaborate with the 'horrible backstory' thing
- Inej is a victim of sex trafficking
- Wylan was nearly murdered by his father's men for not being able to read
- Matthias was brainwashed from a young age to hate Grisha
- Nina (and other Grisha) were kidnapped and abused by Matthias and his fellow drüskelle
- Jesper's mum died when he was 7 years old
- Kaz's dad died when Kaz was 9 and left him and his older brother (Jordie) to sell the farm and go to Ketterdam. Jordie died from a plague a short time later and Kaz had to use Jordie's dead, plague-ridden body to swim to shore after being mistaken as dead and loaded onto the Reapers' Barge along with Jordie and then find a way to survive with no money and no family to go to

Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and a piece of media they brushed off 10 years ago that they now realized is the greatest thing ever made

Even if the dsmp is momentarily put in the back of my mind, whenever I do start to think abt it again I am ASTOUNDED by how genuinely amazing it was. I have genuinely never found anything as interesting, emotional, and captivating as the dsmp and the characters in it. The fact that those characters were real, fleshed out people at one point is what made is so unique and beautiful, and nothing else will top that. It was such an incredible thing and till this day I smile when I think abt it

as much as i love glados in portal 2. NOTHING can top the absolutely insane realization that she isn't actually the cold, emotionless robot you thought she was during the fight in the first game

im annoyed at how earlier today i was really focused on this one film that was airing and instead of any normal reaction or simply letting me watch the movie my family was like "why are you so focused?? its because the actor is a real hottie right 😍😍😻😏 its okay, when i was your age i was in love with that actor too, you should watch this other film where he and this other handsome actor starred, and-" SHUT UP. what the hell. no and i also got a "why are you watching ??? its a nice movie but its just nice... no need to Actually watch it" IM GOING TO MURDER

I Have really been enjoying trigun stampede on It’s own merits but it is getting hard for me to keep from comparing it to the manga… seeing great elements from the manga I love incorporated but in a really rushed and Surface Level way is kinda a bummer

high guardian spice is to me what sword art online is also to me. better in the abridged version. though for wildly different reasons
#hgs abridged is a pure comedy and it's super fun as this lowkey low budget type deal. it's halfway a shitpost and a labour of love for the#creative medium of writing an actual fucking coherent story#even with all the memes and stupidity inherent to the shitpost abridged show format#whereas SOAA is just. so good like it's amazing Something Witty Entertainment is doing fucking great things for the medium. pls watch it#sword art online and high guardian spice are terrible in different ways. both of them have a couple things in common though; extremely gener#generic and super mediocre#but while hgsa is stupid fun. soaa is like. i wish this was the actual show. level of quality. so i enjoy them for different reasons#also soaa gets like 1 episode every year or two. which. yeah. its worth the wait though#soaa is high art to hgsa's shitpost. and i love that for them#some of hgsa is like. too stupid for me. they used big chungus recently and i was just like... sigh. but other than that it's pretty good.#i don't understand the jojo refrences but like good for them. glad they're having fun#soaa is like. i genuinely don't need to know anything abt soa or anything else to enjoy it. it works as a standalone property#might as well be original work. except it isn't. so the only reason i'm glad soa exists#is so that i can wath soaa#it's just. it's superb. it's that good. there's Some problems with it (I don't always jive with the humour) but the actual like emotional#beats are REALLY well done. you actually kinda like the characters even though they're#objectively worse people than in soa#somehow#it's just. it's fun. i enjoy it immensely#there was a really good choice in hgsa that made me cackle though#and that's the rework of cal's character. that was a great choice#anyway#done rambling... for now...

That feeling when you got so many ideas but you are so tired
Ugh -_-
#ughghhh#you have no idea how many ideas go through my head#so so SO many amazing projects#and so many of them might never become more than ideas#I know I keep saying I'll work on my fics but when I actually WANT to the motivation is straight up gone#Especially for When The World Crumbles#remember back in like September when I coukdnt even go TWO WEEKS without writing#now its approaching two MONTHS since the last update#I just have to get past the absolutely stupid 15th chapter then I can go straight to the fun angst#but chapter 15 is the setup for the angst#ughghghgh#and fun fact that story is barely plotted out#I have a general idea where its going#the key events#but getting there?#I am so nervous that the plot will drag and it wont be fun#that it will feel too much like a repwtive fetch quest#Maybe thats a part of the writer's block?#general fear that the story will drag on and on#idk#ans then theres chapter one of Lost But Never Found#which is only like what fifteen words in the google doc because I am stuck on how to START the stupid damn thing#Once the chapter is started I can roll from there but ghghghh its so annoying#at least I got a chapter of Sunshine Of The Woods written but to be honest that wasnt my best work#barely anything happened in that chapter#it honestly could've been the ending to chapter three and nothing would've changed#but I wanted to do a christmas update so I rushed it out because I felt so bad for the infrequent updates#I swear to god it will pick up soon I promise#as for the infrequent updates I really am sorry about that#its hard to scrounge up the motivation to write but I will try to go for more frequent updates.

I feel like I need to reiterate how fucking insane transformers fans are. Was reading a fanfiction that's literally a retelling of sir gawain and the green knight cybertronian style
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
It's a great story though I just know the author is a literature major
they also just casually transcribed a whole piece of the epic of gilgamesh into cybertronian religious terms. If anyone was wondering.

Yeah, they really made an absolute dogs breakfast of the writing in Inquisition? It's so abysmal that I don't know if it'll ever recover, much less if the writers would even WANT to. In all honesty, I know the previous two games were far from perfect but at least the writing was more or less consistent, can't say the same for DA:I unfortunately...
Yeah. I kept hoping the end would somehow fix stuff but the end was worse than most of the game. O_O I could have written a god-tier game with the concept and basic outline for Inquisition, but alas I am not head BioWare staff. And we sure as hell did not get a god tier game. Tbh I have no interest in DW unless I hear they’ve like, wildly changed the game/writing course of their development. And I don’t exactly have high hopes, because they seem to have mostly staff from Inquisition on it. But I in good conscience can’t keep forking over piles of money for a tripple A game and DLCs when they U-turn from lauding me for massacring a bannon for what they did to my husband, Alienage, and friend, and even Lady agreeing that while she wants the descendants free, the original humans the Keeper went after absolutely deserved their fate, with a little DLC that talks about the cultural appropriation of indigenous people in the world and the loss of their own history to their invaders to the point a circle mage can read and speak more elvish than the Dalish companion, and how terrible it is, to a game where they refuse to take any stance really, finally to a game where they frame Briala & Celine together as cute & sweet with no tell to player who hasn’t read TME on their own what that woman did, retcon the godhood of every culture they based (often not just visibly but explicitly Word of God as well) on minority cultures until the only not retconned god is Fantasy Catholic God, so the only paths forward are Fantasy Catholic (traditional white Europeans are right & all other cultures wrong) or Atheism (modern white European ideology is right and all other cultures wrong), both terrible, and are so allergic to a minority rights narrative they retcon the entire elven history of the franchise to make it Opulent Suddenly European And Slaver Society back in its glory days, and kneecap the game’s second best character by making his sudden face heel end game goal Racial Supremacist Genocide to go back to Opulent Suddenly European Styled Culture for Elves?? And-ah forget it this would go on for a while day. Just. Yeah. It had wild potential as a game and I loved scenes and characters, and am retreating to DAO->DA2 with the things I liked in the divorce, and I could have made SUCH a DAI. But as it stands, I just. Both don’t and can’t really care going forward. I love the games I played and characters and that won’t change, but I have no faith they’ll not just keep getting worse (personally), and I’m not Paying to see that. But yeah, the others ain’t perfect, but they’re fun and solid enough. Even though I think DAO is easily the most well made, DA2 has such a fun cast and interesting concept and story, and such moments, it was my favorite. And he’ll, Nothing is perfect. That’s normal and expected. But there’s a big difference between ‘I don’t like these aspects but I like the whole enough’ and like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#ask#anonymous#dai spoilers#I still can’t BELIEVE they gave Solas one of the most God-Tier charcaters of all time in DAI and then in Trespasser went ‘haha psych! time#for racism species Supremacist Genocide Intellectual Dude Bro motives!’ like wtf I’m taking him & Cole in the divorce and leaving#they really had a charcater all game that was ‘pretending to be a calm Lawful Good professor but he’s Wearing the Mask & sometimes it cracks#but when you see behind it it’s not death sidius it’s Bugs Bunny sawing florida off the United States and ALSO he’s a big wolf’ and then#didn’t even let him actually be a trickster god just some dude who’s willing to kill every species in existence to hit race supremacy again#UNBELIEVABLE writing move in the worst way. I could have made the most amazing upsetting Solas starts a war finale while he’s still a god#and elves keep their elf culture and shaken the franchise to its knees and delivered writing unknown to man and done RIGHT by the bald man#but the devs fkn decided to massacre their franchise and my boy right in front of me#well not on my watch. I’m taking him and leaving back to previous games and writing my own - better inquisition in my head#if this timeline won’t deliver I’ll make my own! it won’t be the first fkn time#GOD it’s the little things too! in DAO I can help my bestie kill her abhsive mom but in DAI I’m supposed to find Flemeth sympathetic??? shes#the same flemeth who ruined my girl’s life as she has countless others! they really nosedive into so many piles of shit in DAI#to unfortunately paraphrase Trespasser Solas: I would be /thrilled/ to be proven wrong by BioWare. like you can’t imagine#but I’m not holding my breath. one fan who loves a charcater generates in a month 12x more usable DAI story and lore than the entire team in#the last 9 years

when i end up posting a 10k word ramble on main about the power of fandom spaces in regards to comfort and trauma etc, someone better give me a hug bc i've probably gone insane by then and need it
#like one on hand i completely understand why someone who has never dived into a fandom space would find fanfiction ans fanart and kinning#etc so weird#and yet on the other hand i (in my own way) understand how positively powerful these things are#like its INSANE how all these people from all over the world collectively love something to the point that there are creators who create#things in relatiok to that fabdom for the comfort of themselves or others in the fandom#that was areally bad sentence but like#like jesus if it werent for fanfics and comfort characters and fandom content in general idk where i would be#and while i dont personally kin anyone ive known people who for them having a kin was a way for them to like#not to be dranatic but to survive? to cope?#and like#where would i be without kuroo comfort fics#without fricken skz comfort fics#and like yes delulus are real and they exist and yes i see why people see those who engage in fanfics/reqder inserts as delulus#but theres a difference and to qctually appreciate that difference is like#(and i use appreciate as in to acknowledge not to positively regard smth)#like if you just take a moment to stop and think about how this one story about this character in some random show - about how#someone has written a story about that character abd another ambiguous one - how something as simple as that has calmed someone down#has helped change their way of thinking#has saved them or has helped tjem to connect with others#isnt rhat kind of.. really amazing?#and even character x character fics that arent reader inserts#like i just#NWKXMSKXNND DSOMEONE GIVE ME THE VOCABULARY AND BRAIN ENERGY PLEASW
