About The Author
And so, like a phoenix, I am reborn! Thoughts on the new colors y'all? But, onto the topic! I don't think I've gotten any better at this since last time, so I'll just go over the key notes:
Writing + Reading
Fantasy, from the high to the low and all of the stuff in between!
Contemporary fantasy, supernatural fiction, and urban fantasy are just great.
Anything Sci-Fi. Seriously. From the more energetic and hopeful daring explorations to the cosmic horror and soul-shaking solitude of the abyss, all of it is damn brilliant. Especially love me some science in my science fiction!
Sharing ideas! Talk about people’s WIPs, characters, and just hearing from all these brilliant and creative people! It’s just such a human experience to hear the excitement in someone voice or writing when they share things about something they put so much work and time and love into, y’know?
WORLDBUILDING. There’s just something about a world that’s well thought out with little details, or just unique, and vibrant, and creative that makes me happy, and, per what I said above? Hearing about people’s worlds is the BEST.
Mortally gray characters, Queer characters, Morally gray queer characters.
As for just general stuff:
Oversized anything, hoodies, sweaters, blankets, all of it is so cozy! Fireplaces, in snowed-in cabins in the woods are my jam.
Tea. (Currently love me some milky oolong.)
Drawing! I mainly do traditional art, pen and paper, been thinking about making a sideblog for it all...
D&D is just wild. If you write and haven’t ever played you’re missing out. If you just haven’t played in general, you’re missing out!
All pronouns are fine, lost me gender in Ye Olde Gender War, back in '69. Hovering in the general vicinity of being a bi/pan guy, so those also fit if you want.
Pretty much married to @agrimedena-drax 🖤✨
Lovely to meet y'all, new and old, and welcome to Writeblr!

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?
Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.
Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.
Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.
#i kind of typed this in my essay voice because I knew it would be long so ignore that#also I don’t actually know which of the other writers are playing big parts in percabeth’s story so threats why I put a focus on Riordan#that’s*#aaaaanyhoo if I’m being honest I definitely prefer this version of percabeth#AND I like that Medusa said ‘‘we are not our parents until we choose to be. you three have chosen’’ implying that she thinks they’ve chosen#to be their parents only for Percy to reveal in the next episode that he’s chosen to be better than his father.#that was a really nice touch 👌👌👌#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#pjo disney+#percy jackson disney+#percy jackson#annabeth chase#Percabeth#rick riordan#Medusa#pjo tv show#pjo tv series#pjo tv spoilers

thinking about how the extra area added on to a pacifist run of undertale, the true lab, is about alphys's past mistakes. how it ends with the story reaffirming that, despite the pain she's caused, the thing that matters is that she has now made the choice to do the right thing. she's still worthy of her friends' love.
thinking about how undertale doesn't expect the player to get a pacifist ending for the first time. how it's more likely than not that the player will kill toriel the first time they battle her, how lots of players don't initially figure out how to end undyne's fight without killing her, etc. what it expects — not even expects, really, but hopes — is that the player, if they care enough, will use their canonically acknowledged power over time to make up for those mistakes.
no matter how many neutral runs a player has done before committing to the pacifist run, the thing that matters to the characters, to the story, is that you've chosen, now, to do the right thing.
compared to alphys, the player honestly gets off lightly, in that you're the only one (other than flowey) who really remembers any harm you might have caused. and any direct guilting the game could have done about it is long past at this point.
instead, as undertale often does, it makes its point via parallels: alphys caused harm, and she knows it. she has committed to being better. in doing so, she has unlocked for herself a better ending to her story. and she deserves it. she's forgiven.
those structural narrative parallels are all over undertale, if you know where to look. and that's one of the things that makes it so fuckin' good.
#undertale#alphys#true lab#this inspired by a mutual's alphys posting#and a discord convo i had a couple weeks back about ut's stance on ''punishing'' the player vs the monsters for their actions#and thoughts i've had generally post a certain fangame with a color in its name about just how well ut is structured as a narrative#everyone rightfully praises toby fox's character writing but stuff like this i think flies under the radar a bit by comparison#and it deserves to be appreciated#there's obvious Lore reasons why the true lab is only visited in a pacifist run (what's revealed about chara and flowey)#but this is the other half of it: the message of alphys's story hits hardest on a paci route post neutral runs#toby fox is a good writer more often than not

heyy!!! we havent talked in forever, how goeth the writing ?
Hi Evvy!!!
Yeah, it's been a while! I've been on semi-hiatus for a bit lol but I think I should be done soon
The writing is not going honestly... I've been trying to find more time to write, but usually I worldbuild or do character designs instead of actually writing alshldlagsldagal
All's well that ends well, however.
How are your wips?!?!!? (Hopefully better than mine lol)

Casian Race
Note! As in the previous two, some of what I’ve got below is subject to some change as I’ve just came back to looking over the origins of the world and all and feel like it may be due for a rework of sorts, but this is what I’ve got for the time being!
The Casian (Kay’shun), is one of several races inhabiting the world of Circa Specturgia. Casians are, breaking the fourth wall for a moment, the settings equivalent to our humans, with some minor changes.
The terms “human” and “humanity, and all connected words (“humane,” “humanize”) still exist, however these refer to all of the races of the setting, “humanity” being the concept of all humanoid races, or in the spiritual sense, the psychological traits and behaviors that unite all the races in spite of cultural and behavioral differences.
For example, while the kindness shown by a Casian and a Vælan would be different, due to how they view interpersonal relationships, the act of showing kindness itself is a very human trait.
The existing of these words prove the interracial unity that all races still have for each other, a deep and profound understanding and belief that they came from the same origin, phrases like “You’re only human” rather than “You’re only X”. “The human condition.” “The human experience.”
While each race always has great cultural differences, beauties, and uniquenesses, and can speak of these, they can also (but not only) speak of a universal experience, which all others can understand and connect to.
With those notes out of the way, onto the details!
Biology
Some general traits of the Casians are:
Several general traits identical to us humans, diversity of skin color, hair color, both types, height and weight, having settled all over the globe!
An omnivorous diet, though some may chose different balances, which, so long as the body gets the required nutrients, the body is able to adapt to and live off of!
Casians have one of the most resilient biologies of all races in terms of both physiology, immune resistance, and other traits, having a sort of intercultural stereotype for being tough as nails, in the sense of their willpower, and the body to back that up.
One trait that Casians have that differ them significantly from us are their varied eye colors, mostly in shades ranging from pale to vibrant! From sky blue to lapis, mint green to emerald, milk teas to fresh brewed amber earl grey, shades of reds, and oranges, yellows being far less common, although possible! Purples, however, only exist due to crosses with Jihn.
An odd trait that is unique to Casians among all the races is their inexplicable capability to find things never experienced before familiar. This can even stretch to being able to sometimes “remember” things that have not yet happened, and in even rarer cases act upon the “memory,” though it is known that this is not a consciously controlled occurrence. Some captains have written about “remembering” a particular crash of lightning that happened before they ran into the rocks, and turning the rudder just in time, or a swordsman suddenly anticipating the next move of his enemy before they had even met eyes. Most often though, it happens randomly, familiarity of a place, or simple events. This is referred to as deja vu.
The name, Casians, originates from the olden Casia, the name for the Lavenda plant. Since ancient times, Casians knew of the plants properties, often times planting it all over, along with crops, and being known to carry if on their person. Lavenda was deeply ingrained in their cultures, and so they came to be know as the Casians.
Many Casians have freckles, most subtle showing themselves once exposed to more sunlight, some prominent.
History and Culture
Unlike the Væla, Casians do not have a uniform history or culture from which all modern Casian cultures branch. In fact, some cultures have a different name for Casians, such as the Jihn, with a word translated to approximately mean patchwork used affectionately for Casians.
Not only did Casian culture greatly drawn on the unique space in which it arose, but they would also adopt parts of culture that belonged to those they spent time with, learning about it. When this wasn’t scorned by those to whom which it belonged, when Casians were invited to join in practices and traditions, they would often times also take them up! This is one reason why Casian societies which evolved in close proximities with those of Jihn especially evolved similarities and even formed single cultures, considering Jihn sociability!
Aside from Jihn, Casians have societies all over the globe, in very varied and unique groups to one another, with greatly varying cultures, usually shared or ingrained with the cultures of other races living in the same region or country! Of course, very rarely do they have such societies with Væla, with their treasuring of solitude and closed-off culture, or with Vestarii for their unique lifestyles…
However, it’s known that of all the races, Casians form some of the best diplomats, being often greatly empathetic and being able to read others extraordinarily well. They possess an odd understanding of others, being able to read subtleties in a persons mood regardless of their race, to some being unerring while to others a calming friend, someone to whom you may be honest, and who reacts to you well.
Casians are one of the most widespread races across Istra, and the one with the lost varied culture, integrated into a great number of modern societies, and possessing a great curiosity and fascination for the world.
That’s about all I have on them for now. All of this could be technically skipped over and simply replaced with the sentence: “Casians are just Istran Humans”, but nonetheless I enjoyed writing it out and giving it some proper thought! ✨
Any idea which post/topic I should do a post on next…? I’m curious to hear what y’all would be interested in!

"why do these characters always fight why cant they just be nice to each other" because their canon dynamic is that they dont get along hope this helps 👍
#'why do writers make tim and jason hate each other' because they hate each other#writers are not doing anything wrong by making the bats constantly fight with each other#thats just their dynamic. they fight a lot.

Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie hears him. He keeps his eyes closed and just listens- to Steve grumbling to himself when his hair doesn’t sit quite right, who starts to hum and whisper some catchy song. Eddie turns his sleepy gaze onto Steve as he shuffles around their room- watching quietly as he slips on his clothes, his shoes, a simple chain with Eddie’s ring around his neck. A warm, affectionate smile breaks across his face. Before he leaves, Steve glances at what he expects to be a sleeping Eddie, but instead, he’s met with a rasped, ‘Hey.’ Eddie sits himself up, stretches his arm across Steve’s side of the bed, and reaches, fingers wiggling. Steve crosses the room to cradle his face.
Their foreheads press, noses bump, and Steve brushes his fingers across scars and dimples.
He breathes a quiet,
‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.’
Eddie huffs a tired laugh,
‘You know I never mind.’
Because, yeah.
Every morning Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie always hears him.
( another one from the poll | WIP )
#in my feels this fine morning#eddie cant let steve go without his goodbye smooch#i imagine eddie would sleep through anything#but i also like to think he lets himself wake up#he likes to watch Steve’s morning routine#which may or may not include winking at himself in the mirror when his final once over checks out#steddie#steddie fanart#steve harrington#eddie munson#stranger things#i changed Steve’s face from the WIP.. it needed better angling#I’m not a writer so please ignore grammar and whatever other problems lol#i type like i read it in my head#so hopefully it sounds alright

i appreciate that rtd knows when to fudge things in order to make a good story. like he wanted to cast Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, literally saying it's like she was sent down from above to play the role, but she was 18 when she was cast. so he aged up the character of Rose Noble a couple years to be 14 or 15, not caring that it didn't make sense with the timeline. it's okay if you have to jokingly explain things as a magic time cloud or whatever, the minutia doesn't matter if it means you can cast someone perfect and tell a good story. and Yaz Finney is really, really perfect for that role. it reminds me of that thing Rachel Talalay said about Heaven Sent where the crew pushed back on her about the lighting in a couple shots because it didn't really make sense, and she said "it doesn't matter where it comes from. it comes from 'it looks good'."
idk! i just really appreciate when creatives know when to let things be bullshit sometimes for the sake of good art.
#other writers do this as well sometimes rtd is just the relevant one at the moment#anyway. i really love rose noble a lot and i hope she gets her own spinoff#doctor who#delia.txt
