reiterating the rules of RPF here:

The first rule of RPF: we do not about rpf to the people those stories are about.

The second rule of RPF: WE DO NOT FUCKING TALK ABOUT RPF TO THE PEOPLE THOSE STORIES ARE ABOUT

The third rule of RPF: talking about rpf includes asking people if it's okay to write rpf about them.

The fourth rule of RPF: do not, under ANY circumstances, send a link of a fic to a person that fic is about, even if they ask for it.

The fifth rule of RPF: Harassment is never okay. The stories are fake and are about fictional versions of real people. Don't harass the real people into talking about it, don't insist they date someone based on a story you read, don't assume they're an awful person because of something someone wrote.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST RPF FANDOM: READ THE RULES TWICE

In talking about Chaucer (p. 74), I said that, in general, puns and verbal connections of sound were unimportant and not to be sought out; and now, you will say, I have been using them to explain cruces in Shakespeare. Alas, you have touched on a sore point; this is one of the less reputable aspects of our national poet. A quibble is to Shakespeare [Johnson could not but confess] what luminous vapours are to the traveller; he follows it at all adventures; it is sure to lead him out of his way and sure to engulf him in the mire. It has some malignant power over his mind.... A quibble was for him the fatal Cleopatra for whom he lost the world, and was content to lose it. Nor can I hold out against the Doctor, beyond saying that life ran very high in those days, and that he does not seem to have lost the world so completely after all. It shows lack of decision and will-power, a feminine pleasure in yielding to the mesmerism of language, in getting one's way, if at all, by deceit and flattery, for a poet to be so fearfully susceptible to puns. Many of us could wish the Bard had been more manly in his literary habits, and I am afraid the Sitwells are just as bad.

William Empson, 7 Types of Ambiguity, ch 2 pp 100-101

i'm sorry this is so fucking funny. that pathetic loser shakespeare who loved puns so much it cost him everything, except of course his status as the most famous, most read, most immortal english-language author of all time. but everything else, he lost and it's all because of how weak he was to resist a pun :/ pouring one out for my sad little girly man who could have had it all if only he was better at writing, the thing he is the most famous guy in the world for.

even empson, who disagrees with johnson that shakespeare "lost the world", is like, too bad our favorite poet is susceptible to the thing that made him famous :/ really tragic that the guy whose wordplay we've been talking about for 300 years likes wordplay :///

also i can't get over writing a book about the types of ambiguity and NOT INCLUDING PUNS?? sorry but puns are ambiguous! that's where their juice comes from! imagine liking ambiguity so much you write a book about it but never mention puns except to dunk on them. imagine being a POET and POETRY CRITIC who looks down on sound-based ambiguity! could not be me!!

I reckon I have at least one more sifki fic in me, somewhere. Because look:

They've definitely fucked, haven't they? (I made a gif to prove it. It's a fact now. A gif-proved fact.) There's a turbulent history there, I know it in my bones. I want to squish them together on the virtual page and see whether they fight or they fuck, or if - which I think is most likely - they do both of those things and also at least one of them cries for the lost innocence of the past and for the lost hopes of a misplaced future.

One thing that really deeply resonated in me with what Bojan has said, was that we had read history textbooks in school thinking "phew! good thing it's history now and people have learned not to make these mistakes" - only to grow up and realize that no, people are willing to make exactly the same mistakes.

(puting under cut bcs personal not-fun stuff and politics related)

I've been in a weird mood lately because I've been getting into arguments with people in my life who I had considered my friends, about what I thought were basic things - that genocide and killing children is bad ?? Why is it even a discussion? Why did I have to listen to "it's not so simple / other side also has to live / if you look from this point / etc etc" ?? what other side? why can we name victims but not perpetrators? Both Russia and Israel are actively commiting genocide on their neighbours, and yet after all the evidence it's still up for debate?.. With people some of who I've known for years..

One friend who I've known for 15 (!) years and is my age has just thrown a curveball. We agreed on everything: lgbtq rights matter, eqality matters, human rights matter. But he voted and will vote again for openly pro-russian party because he "wants to make a good career and they'll have the money". And I feel so betrayed and defeated. This was my very good friend who I thought I knew..

There's been more cases like that where people have drifted away because our worldview became an issue. And I'm sitting and thinking if I am going mad? Is saying I'm against war crimes really that divisive?.. What's going on?

unfriendly reminder that this blog is run by a trans person and their wife, and if you have any problems with that you can fuck right off

this might be a very austrian thing for me to say but uh. not pran nearly dying on a strip of path that actually looks fairly flat

god I'd do anything to experience sickness like how someone who isn't chronically ill does. what do you mean you get sick and then recover?? I got sick 7 years ago and have only been getting sicker since so the idea of being ill for a couple weeks and then bouncing back is almost unfathomable to me

no way am i gonna wake up in three hours

//Added a rule (more a disclaimer) that I'm somebody who takes on a lot of muses and that my muse list will only get longer. Of course, you never have to interact with any particular muses of mine, and you're free to prioritize only one or two (or a few) if you'd prefer, it's fine. But if you prefer to not follow multimuses with a lot of muses in general, you should know that I am the type of multimuse that picks up new muses frequently.

I'd just really prefer that, if people feel uncomfortable with my blog style, they unfollow. No hard feelings if you do, sometimes it just happens that rp styles don't vibe together.

I don't draw people often but this wouldn't leave my head, siren (harpy varient) phantom of the opera upon ye

Kinda tempted to go back to identifying as aromantic but from the perspective of "I have chosen to love everyone that I have dated. I can choose to stop." but I don't know how well that would go over.

Kim would u say u are silly :3

I don't think the word "silly" has ever been used to describe me.

I doubt it's even been used in the same vicinity, really. I'm a pretty serious person, I'm told.

Scott and Lisa probably sapped all the "silly" out of me in highschool. Maybe that's why they've got all that energy...

[internally] I can't do X tonight because I need to do Y instead.

@yanatho replied to your post:

nah ldh need to promote other groups just like bb and psf cuz they are always overseas (thai & indonesia) and their contents are either sub or in english. We need this type of content w other group esp fanta and rmpg 😌 the senpai groups would be nice as well but thats like waiting for a miracle to happen lol 😂

On the topic of exile tribe mobile, unfortunately the site itself is supposedly region blocked (by payment). Besides, blog posts are written by members themselves, so it really depends on members what they want to share (so as international fans, we are merely just slipping in through the cracks. we can enjoy the content but have to blend in with jp fans)

But for official contents, they do post more subtitles (for all groups, not just rmpg and fanta) as of recent on CL! They also have thai, chinese, korean subs!

CL is good! It's not region blocked and it is international fans friendly. PLEASE CHECK OUT CL
