#reflected in my stories
Text
I can’t believe I went through all of Season 2 assuming Nina was the stand-in for Crowley when you actually pay attention it’s so CLEAR that she’s Aziraphale. I was tricked by her spiky, sarcastic, cynical outer shell and lulled into a false sense of security by Maggie’s bubbly optimism and wholesome goodness, because on the surface they reflect the ineffable husbands perfectly, in their personalities, their aesthetics, even many of their actions and morals. but not, and this is the real key, when it comes to their “relationship”. but those first impressions really had me damn fooled.
I missed the blatantness of Nina’s “we’re just friends. actually we’re not friends. we barely know each other.” the same thing Aziraphale said in season 1. the way he still struggles to quantify their friendship when Nina asks. Nina’s sarcasm when Crowley asks about rain and awnings because it worked for him (we all know it LMAO). hell, that whole convo the girls have in the rain is so AziraCrow (“I know. I’m not your type” “...You have no idea” hits so much harder the second time, help meeeee.) “Lindsay” maybe being symbolic of Heaven and Aziraphale’s toxic relationship with them and their abuse? (the handwritten text messages in red pen make me think of angry notes on paperwork, anyone else?) because Crowley has never actually cared about what Hell thinks of him, just not getting into trouble (or him or Aziraphale getting hurt). Maggie is always chasing Nina. NINA NEVER GOES IN THE RECORD STORE. Just like Crowley always goes to the bookstore, to Aziraphale, Zira NEVER WENT TO THE FLAT (apart from The Swap but that doesn’t count imo). Crowley has always chased Zira, not the other way around. Always there to rescue him, always going to him for company, always relying on their shared connection, always US. OUR SIDE. All through season one, he comes to Zira every time to work together, never trying to work alongside Hell in any way that isn’t to save their skins or Earth, while Zira hides things from Crowley because he STILL thinks Heaven is ultimately good and will do the right thing if he can just show them. fix it from the inside.
Maggie working up the courage to finally say something, to put herself out there, while Nina is utterly oblivious and then when she does realise Maggie has feelings, becoming standoffish, putting up that barrier, fighting it, denying it, ITS SO CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE IN THAT ORDER. the way I was fooled into thinking Nina’s trust issues are Crowley because he does have trust issues ofc he does BUT Crowley has ALWAYS TRUSTED AZIRAPHALE. has always relied on him. has always been hurt when Aziraphale doesn’t immediately reciprocate the way he expects (the holy water request, the bandstand, the “off in the stars” etc). he’s always the one putting himself forward. Aziraphale has always been the one to second guess everything, to fight their connection, their similarities, their friendship. the girls really made me think it was going to be okay when they sat Crowley down, even as my inner sirens were going haywire about Metatron interfering, they were telling Crowley he just needs to open up and it’ll all work out BUT HE’S ALREADY AT THAT POINT. he may not say it, and by gosh is that part of their damn problem, but he’s always SHOWN IT. he’s not Nina who needs time to heal and recover from her broken trust, he’s always been Maggie believing it doesn’t matter, they’ll end up together in the end anyway AND I WALKED RIGHT INTO THE TRAP THAT THIS MEANT THEY WERE GOING TO BE OKAYYYYYYYYYYY
#good omens#good omens spoilers#good omens season 2#good omens 2#GO2#GO2 spoilers#ineffable husbands#not me going to my basically unused sideblog that isn't GO related because I NEED TO YELL THIS SOMEWHERE#I mean outside of the relationship thing there are so many ways#that Nina and Crowley line up and Zira and Maggie#but the girls story isn't about them as people#it's about this relationship the boys are tryna push on them and what that relationship reflects about the boys#anyway I'm on my first rewatch for all the clue I missed#so I imagine I'll only spot more clues to berate myself about as I go#HOW DID I FALL FOR ITTTTTT#I can't believe I was so blind#OFC the Disaster Puppy Lesbian was Crowley#and OFC the Emotionally Abused Tortoise was Aziraphale

Honestly MAJOR missed opportunity for Karlach to have some kind of permanent 'buff' that deals minor fire damage to anyone who touches her in melee. Like obviously it'd be strong for fighting beasts, because every time they hit her with claws/fangs they take damage, but just from a STORY-TELLING ASPECT?
How heartbreaking would it be when you're trying to cast Cure Wounds on her? In order to heal her, you have to hurt yourself and she KNOWS IT. You go to cast Longstrider on the party and you hesitate as you reach Karlach. Yeah, it's only a few points of damage, it's not that big a deal, but does she REALLY need it? Is it worth it?
You linger, hesitate. You realize you don't want to touch her. You realize that's what EVERYONE thinks when they see her. You realize she KNOWS You're hesitating, staring at her sheepishly as you try to think of whether or not it's worth the pain just to help her.
You learn to support her from a distance. Healing Word. It's not as effective, but you don't need to get hurt for her sake. And so she learns to get used to receiving help from a distance. Just words of encouragement. It's all anyone wants to give her. Maybe it's all she'll ever get.
Aid? Bardic Inspiration? You don't need to touch her to give it to her. You can keep her at a distance and not get burned. And you're still helping her.
It's just... cold.
#this started out with me annoyed at larian for not reflecting story-related plot elements in any kind of mechanical way#like it would be so easy and so impactful but noooo#leave it to the freaking MODDERS i guess#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate iii#bg3 memes#shadowheart#karlach#karlach my beloved#karlach bg3

Uh, this might be my own personal desire for Audrey to be slightly less awful than canon (in part so she can’t be fully blamed for Chloe’s actions the way ML writers tried to), but was Audrey actually feeling bad for Zoe when she cried? I know it might be more of a general discomfort with vulnerability and sadness, but to me it felt like maybe Audrey does care that she made her kid so distressed, even as an akuma.
You are not hallucinating. She felt kinda bad that Zoe was crying. This is an SL exclusive.
#I've rebuilt Audrey from a half scrapped animatronic I found in a junk yard for the sake of my own ending#this is in no way a reflection of my feelings for canon Audrey who sucks ass irredeemably#but to me Audrey's always been more of a prop in Chloe's story than an actual character so I don't feel bad at all#sl ask#sl:audrey

Reading ORV is so embarrassing because sometimes I'll be daydreaming about what's going to happen next based on my own personality (or what I would do), and then Kim Dokja just straight up says it word-for-word in the next scene. Stop perceiving me stop understanding me I'm here to read about you
#not a quote#orv#kim dokja#<-he's just like me so far & it's SO humiliating. no the reflection of myself in characters is supposed to be a fraction#I'm just constantly feeling called out by the story or me going 'you dumb bitch' when it's also me who's the dumb bitcu#*bitch#my posts#web reads orv

Introducing Lorelai & Raha! Some lore tidbits for them below cut (& an update to Blythe's sheet to adjust to this change :)
Lorelai Von Berdusk - A half elf born to one of the many noble families in the city of Berdusk, Lorelai spent much of her life sheltered by a controlling patriarch of the family. Through unknown methods, her father had contracted Vampirism, and using his newfound power had turned his wife and daughter into spawn. Unwanting to remain subservient now in a more literal sense of the word than ever before, Lorelai devised a plan to ambush her father and drink of him, in order to become a fully fledged vampire herself. Unfortunately in the scuffle, she had accidently fatally wounded him. Unable to face what she has done, and her mother's possible reaction, Lorelai fled the estate. She now explores the world with her companions, experiencing life for the first time.
Raha Faeli - An elf displaced by humans during a campaign to lay claim to their land, Raha lost his parents and was forced to relocate to a different Elven settlement as a young child. Unfortunately due to the proximity of his home to the human city, he along with many others struggled with Elven, some not speaking it all. Feeling ostracized, and not-quite-elf-not-quite-human, Raha left the settlement upon becoming an adult, preferring to earn his keep through monster hunter and mercenary work. Quiet, stoic, and brooding at first glance, he is a stark contrast to his more lively of companions, so it's curious how he fits into this dynamic (Don't mind the little lizard that lives in his pocket - he is a sweetheart)
Blythe is not much different - though the recurring raven of Poe is now a familiar of hers. A rather silly and air headed raven that often soars above the party.
#lorelai#raha#blythe#dnd sheet#GOD this was an undertaking#BUTim happy. i have been doing mini rps with the other players and its been fun!#raha's story is actually deeply personal to me as its a reflection of my experiences....#ANYWAY HERE THEY ARE !!! i love them all#holds them close to me

if you're terrified for your country's elections next year because a lot of people seem to think the solution to the government handling an international conflict in an abysmal and deplorable way is to let a group of total monsters who would handle it MUCH worse AND also potentially doom huge swaths of oppressed people at home as well as our entire literal planet get into power, by ignoring the way our deeply flawed but also deeply entrenched system realistically works
clap your hands...?
(I cannot understand trying to stop heinous and unnecessary killing- which disgusts and saddens me, too! how could it not?! -by handing the election to people who want to do even more of that exact thing. the math isn't mathing, as they say)
#us politics#current events#we all have to make our own choices and there are no good ones and that's horrible. but. there are choices I feel are willfully ignorant#and reflect a certain degree of security and privilege that not all of us have#if you do not vote dem. the republicans are going to win. it's awful and I don't like it either but#that is realistically what's going on here#(I've been trying not to talk about the Israel/Hamas war much because holy shit do I not have the full story as History Geek BloggerTM)#(but my basic stance is that both governments involved are horrible and see civilians as pieces on a game board)#(and the US should send no aid to either of them that isn't humanitarian in nature)

I really do love your writing and Salvage gets me through when I am sad or depressed. However, I was wondering, how do you cope when someone who wrote a review didn’t like your writing? If you’ve had this before… I had one today and I am dejected. I’m working through my perfectionism and I keep telling myself, “my writing isn’t for everyone and it’s okay.” Any advice?
If it was unsolicited, especially on a fanfic? Delete it, block the person if you feel like, then go do your rage activity of choice before forgetting about it forever. That person is rude and doesn't deserve your time anymore than someone bumping into you on the street.
I've also found it useful to actively think of my fanfic as writing practice, and not even my brain expects perfection from writing practice. It also frees you do Try Cool Things.
Now take this digital blanket and cup of hot chocolate and go reread your nice comments.
#most readers are absolutely lovely#But yeah I've gotten these too because there is always someone on the internet who thinks they are Right and Smart and that those things#Are more important than being kind and polite#Fic Reader Etiquette 101: the only writers looking for crits on a fic are the ones that explicitly asked for it#The only potential exception is for typos that impact reading clarity and even then varies by author#I love having any and all typos pointed out but I know some writers Don't Want To Hear It#My worst comment was the person who wrote essentially:#Wow I remember loving this story it had a huge impact on my life but now I reread years later and it's shit#...Honey. HONEY.#please realize that your personal growth and resulting resonance or lack thereof with a story's themes#have literally nothing to do with me#and I hope your next bit of character growth involves internalizing your self-reflection instead of outsourcing it to fanfiction

why are the super sea snails SHRINKING
#also god they really looked so nice in splatoon 1 and the texture is also getting worse and worse#my guess is that its because the square in splatoon 3 is huge and having a fancy reflective surface on them would make the game slower#but i'd really love if there was like. a story reason they are getting smaller and shittier looking#splatoon

We’re days away from 2023 ending and I’m feeling so many things that I fear I can’t put into words the way I wish I could. I’ve been in this community for 10 months and it feels like just yesterday I was posting my very first Joel fic, BIAHD after watching TLOU and immersing myself in the Pedro fandom. 10 months of writing, of reflecting, of making friends, and losing some along the way. 10 months of the highs and lows that come with being deeply involved in a community.
Ever since I was little I always struggled to feel like I fit in somewhere. I never was a popular kid. I was the kid picked last for everything. The kid that would invite everyone to her birthday party only to be letdown when only a handful would show up. In highschool I was your stereo typical nerd. I played the violin, golf, and I was the horse girl. Better known to some as the “pizza faced horse girl.” I got bullied a lot. Felt like the outcast that no one ever wanted. I found myself feeling envious of the girls in highschool with boyfriends and dates to the school dances. I always found myself turning to the things I loved the most to feel like I was wanted. I read a lot, both books and fanfiction. I became an avid model horse collector and I felt like I was finally belonging somewhere. Going to college was probably one of the best decisions I ever made..and then Covid happened and I felt like I was starting from square one.
I have made so many friends on here. Both old and new, and I am forever grateful for every friendship I have here. I’m grateful that I can have a safe space to write the stories that speak to me and share them with all of you.
2023 has taught me some valuable lessons that I will be taking with me into 2024. Life is all about learning from your mistakes, holding yourself accountable and growing. And with that, life is also about the good times and all the accomplishments, big and small.
I am grateful to my fellow writers, readers and everyone in between that I share a space with, and even if we have never spoken, and only have seen eachother on the dash? I’m grateful for you as well.
My hope for 2024 is that we’re all kinder both to those we share a space with and to ourselves. Community spaces are so vital to the human experience and I hope that this one never dies off. I can’t wait to see what we all accomplish into the new year.
Thank you for your kindness, support, empathy, and love. Thank you for reminding me that I am wanted even during the times that I feel I am not. I appreciate every single one of you that are here.
I am especially grateful for the shared friendships with @angelofsmalldeath-codeine @5oh5 @loquaciousferret @cavillscurls @thetriumphantpanda @pascalpvnk @cayleejz @netherfeildren @chloeangelic @macfrog @corazondebeskar @morning-star-joy @joelsgreys @cupofjoel @romanarose @gracieispunk @strang3lov3 @cherubispunk @saradika @elvinaa @dinsdjrn and many many more 🤍
Here’s to 2024 and making new friends, to learning and growing, and sharing more stories.
I am wishing you all a very Happy New Year 🤍
-Gi
#talkswithgi#sappy post#end of the year reflections#i love you all#thank you for sharing a space with me#thank you for letting me share my stories
