#so that had to get scrapped lmaooooo | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

The chores ask was so much fun lmaooooo. How about minor household things that grates at gom+nijimura+kagami? Like leaving food uncovered in the fridge, not putting away slippers properly, etc. Mine is people not finishing up the tiny bit of food and leaving it for other people to deal with it because you technically didn't finish it 🙄

This really got me in my domestic feels for these bois 🥴 Admin Neon

Kuroko — leaving food scraps out

not only does it sometimes result in ants invading his home, but it's also very dangerous for his dog

the one time somebody left food scraps out on the table and Nigou got to it, it had cost him a very expensive vet bill just to make sure his dog wasn't poisoned; the person at fault paid, of course

Kagami — not wiping down the stove after cooking

he prides himself in having a rather clean kitchen, so when someone (Riko) comes over and makes a complete mess of his stovetop without thinking to clean it, he's livid

it's the one place he keeps pristine and spotless and he will ban anyone from his kitchen if they don't bother cleaning up

Kise — leaving opened packages/boxes around the house

his family gets a lot of mail, as such, there's always an empty, open box lying around somewhere for him to trip over

he complains about the towers of boxes constantly, saying they should be broken down for the recycling, but really, he's the worst offender for this behavior

Aomine — leaving hair on the shower wall/drain

his mom is guilty of this, Momoi (on the rare ocassions she sleeps over) is guilty of this, and he's pretty sure all long haired people are guilty of this

he finds it so gross, especially when the hair being pulled out of the drain has stuff clinging to it

Midorima — leaving food scraps in the sink

similar to his distaste for washing dishes, he hates when people leave food scraps, fruit/vegetable peels, or really anything organic in the sink

thinks cleaning the sink trap of all the mushy food and gunk is so disgusting; he always gags

Murasakibara — leaving snacks improperly sealed

he spends a lot of money on the treats he buys, so if he's willing to share with you, he expects you to properly take care of the container if you don't finish the snack

the worst feeling in the world for him is eating from an already open bag of chips and everything is stale

Akashi — not using a coaster

a lot of the furniture in his home was originally handpicked and bought for his mother, so they hold a lot of sentimental value for him

he will absolutely give you a dirty look if you set down a wet glass on the wooden table without using a coaster

Nijimura — leaving dirty dishes in the sink all day

he's the type of person to clean his dishes immediately after he's done using them, so he hates when he sees someone else's dishes sitting there

he will refuse to do anyone else's dishes if this happens, which only makes it worse because now it's sitting there longer

#kuroko #kagami #kise #aomine #midorima #murasakibara #akashi #nijimura #gom #not admin neon thinking of all the things my s/o does that annoy me #and all the things I do that annoy him

:D can we get a messy list of Hancock hcs? That crispy critter is my Sole's new husband and she's gonna love all the sadness out of his small gremlin body

Okay you sound exactly like me with deacon lmaooooo and yes, here you go, love!!!

A Messy List of Hancock Headcanons

he doesn’t like to get close to people because he’s terrified of outliving them

being alive and living within an entire new generation is his worst fear, having no one left that he cares about

he can’t go into diamond city without cringing

he is colorblind to some blues and purples

he doesn’t like deacon because he reminds him of himself

he has very low self esteem and self worth despite how confident he might sound

he thinks of maccready as some kind of little brother figure

he is very touch starved and gets severe separation anxiety

seriously, he can’t stop moving when sole’s gone, can’t just sit and relax because there’s a chance they might not come back

he had asthma before he turned himself into a ghoul

he really likes children, but when they get scared of him it breaks his heart a little, so he tries to stay away

he can’t sleep unless someone else is in the room

thats part of why he hired fahrenheit

inside, he doesn’t think he’s qualified to run goodneighbor

he can remember stuff for an insane amount of time

long code sole has to know? no problem, he’ll still remember it in seventeen years

but at the same time if sole asks him what he did that morning he’d be clueless

will pick fights with his brother if they’re close enough in proximity

his favorite song is crawl out through the fallout

he can memorize song lyrics the first time he hears them

when he’s sad it usually comes out as anger or annoyance, which is funny, because he cries when he’s mad

he falls for sole super fast. not as fast as preston, though

mainly because he hasn’t had a friend like that in years

he beats himself up about loving sole for the first couple months because he doesn’t feel good enough to love them

has a bad habit of losing things

stands for peace but also randomly has the urge to beat someone up in an abandoned parking lot?

he LOVES scrapping with sole. winner gets a hit of jet, loser gets a stim. and then probably some jet

he can pacify several wasteland animals

he is the second most emotionally and mentally complex companion, behind deacon

#john hancock fo4 #fallout four #fallout #fallout 4 companions #fo4 hancock #hancock #fallout 4 #fo4 #mayor hancock #john hancock #goodneighbor #the railroad #railroad #the minutemen #the institute #the brotherhood of steel

amc iwtv ep2 w K&Y

the marius painting… THE GROAN…. HELLO… i need this penthouse to be like a nightmare maze in szn2 . things quoted will be K

“WOW LOOK HOW STRONG HE (lestat) IS. FUCK HE NEED A WHEELBAROW FOR?” me: girl he just lazy

“hes (louis) high?” the fake heavenly image of lestat as satan framed by the streetlights .. the angel of death rising under the moon… LESTATS BLOOD WAS GIGGLING INSIDE ME mmmhm ik dat dick sum srs ha

“he (lestat) talkin bout ppl like they meat!”

“is he (louis) gone attack privileged white people?” i said girl i aint gone say yes or no

“bougie ass eating blood with a spoon.”

wait just realized louis did his first kill had a panic attack & ran outside right after😂😂then lestat wan use that as a teachable moment like. & not to mention lestat even in ep2 tryna be daddy n shit likeee i got all the money u need hello. 😭😂

lestat recognizing how my city is TO THIS DAY cops dont give no fucks. tourists fuckin round… also not them being NAKED THE FIRST TIME IN THE COFFIN HELLO

this poor fox omg… he would 100% eat my baby chuchu 💔💔

our book must be a WARNING.. ldpdl and the just say no! DARE campaign of the 2020s

U GONE MAKE ME BEG? Yes Louis I WILL. also louis saying mm me & u we gone have to communicate , just like the meat…. (ALSO LESTAT TELLING LOUIS WE WILL BREAK U OF THIS COMPASSION FOR HUMANS? BREAK?? OF ??.. ik the hoteps would say this an example of Buckbreaking✌🏾✌🏾)

louis never went so far to hear grace’s heartbeat to read her mind cuz he heard what mrs. florence thought looking at him & was too scared to hear what his sister thought… but hey she’s having TWINS!

THE NPC IRISH DUDE CALLING LOUIS BOY. I WILL KILL HIM TWICE. SHE SAID THIS SCENE WENT VIRAL ON TWT OF LOUIS COMNENTING BLACK MEN WHO USE THEIR WEAKNESS TO RISE & THE DABBLE IN FUCKERY IS WHAT MADE HER WANNA WATCH (but also louis saying he was a “black man who uses his weakness” … a weakness to covet power, to get on ahead in white society…)

“chemistry!” she snaps as she loops lestat & louis arguing at the incinerator three times , we got one…

“see this is gonna be one of the things lestat just dont get in their relationship he used the ‘primitive country’ line to trap him in now hes acting brand new about race.” put down the tumblr meta’s gang she got us

“if disrespect was done to u id kill myself? how can i say no to you? awww lestat. how romantic” SHED 100% FOLD💔

1912-1917 was louis wilt chamberlain days. statpadding for the seedy side of society, choking on the big stage (his relationship w his family gradually falling to pieces, and louis in the eyes of society as jim crow regulations creep on in)

“OH LAWD HE GONE BITE THE BABY?” then she got confused over the fact that 5 years passed so soon maybe we needed some more eps @amc lolz

“i always wanted to be a vampire when i was young but i see the problems with it now!“ 😂😂😂😂

LMAOOOOO LOUIS PIVOTING FROM DEFENSIVENESS TO CHOMPING ON DAMEK. THE PLEASURE OF THE LIL DRINK. BRINGING DAMEK TO HIS KNEES. LIKEEEEEEEE???? HELLO. THEY GET FREAKY IN THIS PENTHOUSE OK

shes of the belief that louis did NOT eat the baby gang.

LESTAT SAYING SPARE THE FAMILY ALL THE PAIN NIGGA U TURNED UR OWN MAMA…🆗🆒

louis saying ‘sound like trash to me’ is a perfect accent moment here lolol.

Ok shes in love w lestat& im like about to pass out.

the sheer emotional whiplash of going from DID I KILL MY NEPHEW I WONT EVER BE A PARENT 💔 to romantic & shameless dickmatazion slash pontification over lestat as lestat in said flashback waxes poetry over the sheer depression of being a vampire as he says how louis take this feeling of loneliness from him. . my sister topping it off by saying “ouuu romance”

“lestat said if ur not gone sing it right dont sing it at all” ALSO LESTAT SAYING THEY PULING TALENT FROM GAS STATIONS. modern lestat need to be scrapping on stan twt over his utter disgust w regard to music . hes on spaces saying do u know my name? aggressively like shadow v. kd on spaces in 2021

“He’s (Lestat) really fucking crazy!“

This poor soul was someones son… brother.. & he was to be butchered for what? an offending note? [Lestat] Removed a lifetime of confidence & joy in less than half an hour. 1) idiots not only seen the way lestat hunted louis in ep1, ep2 watched lestat torture this poor person , click out on louis for saying that its torture & got surprised that ep5 happened? CTE fanbase indeed also 2) my dummy dummy dummy hc that what lestat would consider ‘evil’ people to eat would b ppl who do v benign but personally offensable things to lestat like having bad singing voices is CANON amc wise😭😭

LESTAT WAS AN ARTIST IN BRINGING DEATH. louis waxing poetry over this scene of horror, watching this entire man’s life… they both crazy. He had a way about him and I was still, very much under that power. afraid not to disappoint… lestat is ur daddy in more than 1 sense huh.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS HOMOEROTICISM” referring to lestat& louis sharing the poor poor tenor. she not homophobic she in a homosexual rigmarole rn my friends

Alice (daniel 1st wife) dying her eyebrow back brown despite half of it being brown is just like louis in the 1910s using conk—[THIS USER BEEN SHOT]

“Aww Daniel & Louis coming to an understanding here. See Louis is a good guy. he got took advantage of by that SEXY ASS WHITE MAN-“ She still got a lil bit of CTE but we will fix it🤎

I need some concert advice. I never got the chance to got to a BTS concert because of stupid Rona.

Do you think the floor will have assigned seating or will it be more of a general admission pit situation where you have to get there early to get a good spot?

Also, ya girl is short, so should I not even be on the floor. I would hate to not see him 😭

Hey, love!! I had floor tickets for MOTS tour which got totally scrapped🥲 so I feel the pain. But! Just like all seating, floor seats are also assigned (and you will be in the trenches fighting for them come ticket day lmaooooo)

However, if you are short or even average height, I will warn you about floor. Floor is basically the Phone Screen Sea. If you aren’t in the closest like 4 rows, good luck, because there are gonna be signs and phones and army bombs all up in the air for you to try and see through. I have a video that can kinda show you what it looks like when it’s calm.

Essentially: You’ll see Yoongi super close but there could be a lot of people’s phones in the way like 98% of the time.

#first deck is the best tbh #you’d get to see everything!#katykatmeow #d3tour #mailbox💌

Copypasta'd my reply to that comment on this post bc I wanna keep it here for reasons Not to rant on your comment but......... I'm gonna. People always interpret the hypothetical "you wouldn't have been born" as if it were equivalent to dying NOW, *after* you've become a whole thinking feeling person with loved ones who would be sad if you were gone, or whom you would also be "k1lling" by "pushing the button". But like, Not Having Existed wouldn't be painful or a loss, the crux of that thought is PRECISELY non-existence. It wouldn't BE anything lmaooooo

The magic button of 'erase colonialism from History' we're talking about would alter the whole entire world in ways we can't fully imagine by reversing actual genocide. Millions of people and hundreds, maybe thousands of cultures would presumably be restored. It's so myopic and absurd to ask your interlocutor to weigh THAT against any one life- ESPECIALLY if said life is actively being made shittier by colonialism (both aftershocks of its OG form and its current, ongoing manifestation in shit like how The Economy and Industry and Politics™ function TO THIS DAY).

I get that it's a lil upsetting to think about, but NO actually, I like my life and love my people but me existing now is NOT "worth" the unimaginable pain and loss that set up the circumstances into which I was born. The fact that colonialism happened is actually categorically hideous. That nice stuff like people with ''''''mixed heritage''''''* who are personally pleasant, and unique cultural expressions like crafts and delicious food and whatnot that are very dear to the people who grew up w/ them ALSO happened in the wake of colonialism isn't a 'gotcha'. I've been hearing people throw this enormously dumb idea around as if it were a brilliant gotcha since childhood & I'm TIRED of hearing it.

*(read: who inherited a warped version of the culture of their coloniser ancestors alongside the few scraps that are left from their indigenous ancestors' culture which was systematically erased by the former, also a ton of the early '''mixing''' was like... rape)

Like I'm trying to experience & cause as much joy as I can now that I've landed in this wretched-ass existence, but the aspects of my life that relate to colonialism are all shitty, painful things. Throwing that in my face isn't the great argument they think it is.

Also I Have The Depression™. Or have been depressed. Or something (I don't have a great grasp of what my mental health status is bc I've had very limited access 2 mental healthcare. Bc I live in an economy still impacted by the effects of colonialism where seeking that out is Pretty Hard). In my case THAT means I've fantasised about vanishing or popping out of existence w/o the hassle of seeking out physical d3ath SO MANY TIMES. This imaginary "undo colonialism and disappear" button would be extremely welcome in so many ways than one to others like me...........

Hey again! 6, 15, and 18 for the OC WIP ask game? 😊

Hello hello! Oh god, idk which OC ask game this is referring to cuz I've reblogged so many in the time since you asked this. I am A FOOL. But I'll pick one and make it interesting of course <3-- OH WAIT I THINK I FOUND IT lol.

6.Have any of your OCs had name changes? If so, why? LMAOOOOO Okay, so, Scythaline was originally called Scythilis. I bet you can guess why that shit HAD TO GO and it is still embarrassing and hilarious to me that I did not realize that this name I'd chosen, which I'd been so focused on getting a like... 'Scythe' related name? Sounds very much like a certain STI lmao. Needless to say when I did realize, I had to change it- but I'm happy with the chance, Scythaline's name is dope.

15. Who is your oldest OC in terms of when you created them? Oh man... There's a lot of OCs that I don't use anymore that are utterly ANCIENT, like... made when I was 10 ancient, but the oldest one I still have in use for my work is Alluna-- She's a bad ass, she got more and more bad ass the longer I wrote her because at first she had sort of a helpless damsel who is secretly a wise, gentle lady vibe and more than that she has always had this magical element where she is so terribly poisonous that even touching her will kill a person. It's very cool, and long ago when we were first starting the The Bishop of Black with an almost entirely different cast of characters, we'd begun with her and another character, a Rook who Harrow wrote who was so in love with her he created an antidote for her poison. The war was about to get back on, and she and the Rook had met to discuss terms they knew they'd never agree with each other on, and as a like... last chance to do this sort of thing, he confessed his feelings to her. It was... SO GAY. 10/10- we have similar ships in TBOB but they're spoilery so I will not discuss them lol, but Alluna was one of the main characters in our first time playing AND our second time playing. She was scrapped for the third time and final time because we really wanted some fresh folks to play in this realm with, but I have no regrets cuz now the Queen of White is Setsulin and she's also a bad ass babe.

18.Do any of your ocs have any scars? A couple of them do actually! So, Dreigas has a lot of scars- you wouldn't think so when his whole aesthetic is like 'The Pristine Kingom of White' but in fashion terms, but it's kinda fitting in that way that you get rid of his sari and his long sleeves and you'll find LOADS of scars from before he was medically modified. The magic used to crystalize his bones bleached the hell out of his skin, but it didn't take away all of the damage that had been done from his youth, both after working in mines as a young child and being raised by a mentor that thought a good beating would solidify any lesson for Dreigas. Dreigas wasn't ever a rebellious child, but he wasn't always the right the first time every time person he became as an adult, so he's got lots of scars from when he was young.

Tajorinen has several scars because he's a close contact fighter- being a jaguar folk means he's kinda gotta leap in there and start bitin and scratchin, and that lends itself to getting torn up every now and then. His most prominent scar is a starburst shaped scar on his pectoral where at some point, he was shot clean through by magic that should have killed him. It didn't. For reasons. No spoilers lol. But the scar remains even if the effects of the magic were nullified and he lived through the encounter.

Setsulin has scarification that is cultural, it's on her left hip and down the outside of her thigh and it's not an uncommon thing for scarification to be done where she's from. Erato has a bunch of scars too (Erato is Harrow's character and Setsulin's older sister) but hers are on her face and neck and across her shoulders, so you see those more often than you get to see Setsulin's. She'd definitely show off more skin than she does if she wasn't the Queen of White, but there's an expectation of modesty and fully-dressed-ness to the position that requires her to cover a lot of her skin up and even veil her face. She's gotten around this by being intensely fashionable lol, all of her skin is covered, but the clothes are tight fitting and show off her shape- rather than wearing a classical veil, she tends to wear huge, dramatic hats with fringe or veils attached to the rim. She only allows herself to be caged by tradition because being as rowdy as she wants to be would look back on Cynevor-- it's bad enough as it is that they ran away and eloped when Cynevor was supposed to marry someone else lol.

#Ask games #Setsulin #Tajorinen #Dreigas #Scythaline #Alluna #the bishop of black #ask game #thank you for the ask!

happy storyteller saturday! what's one story idea that you'd love to work on some day but have yet to start? tell me all about it!

(-@tragicbackstoryenjoyer)

I technically have not yet started the untitled rom com currently known as "esbionage" or Vanilla, which are both on my wips page for you to peruse at your leisure.

but I have more interesting answers also!

[nicki-minaj.meme] so there's this vampire romance... I've had it scrapped for years because I could never make it work, "sensitivity" wise, BUT I think I might have figured it out so that's back on the docket.

and the superhero au idea from a couple days ago has not left my mind since, so I guess that's gonna get its own place on my drawing board eventually. (and I do think I am going to name the big bad Buzz Reed lmaooooo.)

#thank you for sending an ask!#currently in an ebb at my gig so. please others do likewise and give me something to do.#jack facts #jack chats #writing process #any publicity #vanilla #no links because I'm on mobile and i DON'T feel like dealing with All That

Lov my bf so much anytime I excitedly ramble about anything hes like “do you want to watch it together?/Play it?” Like, fuckin, offering to watch nautro or inyuasha with me sounds like kindness on the highest level; ive never met anyone whos wanted to invest so much time with me before and Im not used to it

#i saw a bit of both nauto and inyuasha in middle school and I was lamenting about having had enjoyed them but not knowing much abt them #he has seen neither #i know theyre both mixed bags of quality shows but something in my heart flutters whenever he wants to share time with me every time aaaa #not to mention even before dating hes spent so much time getting into my hyperfixation games—kya/jak anddaxter/shadow of thecollossus/spyro #and there are some media I have gotten into for him but not as much—namely fighting games/fire emblem/ and genshin and I have a few more Im #gonna play too #journal scrap #also its so fucking funny bc im going on my road trip and im not on desktop genshin he carried me completely on a hard genshin boss last nig #/night—both my chars died on the first quarter of health on the ashdaha lvl90 boss and he spent 15 min beating the boss for me while I cheer #/cheered for him lmaooooo—im so bad at mobile controls for genshin.

simple question: please give your thoughts (brief or otherwise) on each i7 character!! ^^ -nagi anon

*cracks knuckles* oh my sweet anon, i hope you're prepared for the rant you've just invited /lh (i'm actually breaking this up into multiple posts cos it's gonna get long lmaooooo)

part 1/6

iori: he used to be the one i found the most relatable, back when i was in college and still had a tiny scrap of perfectionism left. i really like how the accent color for his stage costumes was changed from black to dark blue - i dunno if this was done for any story-related reason, but i like to think of it as a symbol of iori's personal growth throughout the series. like, he started out mostly focusing on riku, mitsuki, and the rest of the group, taking his own feelings into consideration very little, if at all. obviously he still cares a great deal about idolish7's success, since he's still their co-manager and all, but it's less about business for him now and more about wanting to achieve something great with his friends.

yamato: oh, boy. this guy. i have Feelings about yams. his lowkey self-loathing, his laid-back attitude that hides a load of anger, his sometimes alarming alcohol consumption (though tbf any regular alcohol consumption is slightly alarming to me because Reasons, so ymmv). he reminds me so much of myself it's kind of pathetic (minus the drinking lol). to be honest That One Scene with yuki, while weirdly cathartic, gives me hella anxiety cos it kind of forces me to think about my own violent impulses (and let me remind you, that was while he was SOBER). i never thought he would become one of my favorites, but here we are. maybe it's because his arc has a happy ending, and it shows that no one is irredeemable, no matter how much they may think so. :) also i'm partial to sanpaku characters lol

mitsuki: absolutely 100% the most underrated and under-appreciated. i will personally fight anyone who makes this man cry. i would kill god if it meant mitsuki never thought of himself as Not Good Enough again. like they've said several times throughout the series, making conversation is a skill, and doing it so easily is a TALENT. mitsuki's been blessed with the gift of being able to just talk to anyone and make it feel natural and fun! i wish i was even a single percent that good with people! those folks in the shop that one time can suck my entire ass. also wow i can't believe mitsuki is canonically trans u guys. also also it lowkey makes me wanna cry a little when mitsuki's like "wheh i'm so short :( why can't i be taller :(((" like BITCH i wish i was your height. also also also i really wanna try his pancakes ;u; even though that's impossible

tamaki: fave. ride-or-die. best boy. oshi, even. for one, KENN is my number one favorite voice actor of all time, so that's immediate points in tama's favor. i think i just love how honest tamaki is! he feels his feelings 100%, he's sweet, he's cool, he's cute. he's got a one-track mind and he's self-contradictory. he's impulsive and childish and pretty dumb but he can be surprisingly intuitive and he's great with children and i wanna pat him on the head so bad cos i bet his hair's really soft ;; it's weird, he's one of those characters that i look up to but that i also wanna protect, you know? he reminds me of my little brother in that way. i also have a huge soft spot for characters who express themselves best through physical means such as dance, so there's that, too ;u; as;d;lkf;ldsk;lf i can't even properly word what it is that i like about him! like idk man he just has Fave Energy?? but as lightskindiluc posted about a while back, it's really creepy that he's been relegated to being the "sexy one" even though he's a minor (not to mention ace-coded af). hate that shit.

#a;sdfjks;ldf;l i wanna write a freaking essay about tamaki yotsuba but it would inevitably just turn into a stream of consciousness #cos this boy makes my brain turn to mush #no thoughts head full #it's like;; yamato is all the stuff i hate about myself #and tamaki's what i like about myself?? i guess??#i LIKE that i express myself through dance and i LIKE that i value honesty over politeness #:) /gen #answering asks lmao #nagi anon #idolish7 #i7 thoughts

I just listened to a podcast and they want less Dani's dad storyline to make room for more Finley :))))) And they want Gigi to have sex scenes with Carrie 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I get the dad thing but he had like 5 secs screentime, Dani and Gigi had max 7 mins :))) I was like how much less do they want?!? And they looked at Dani character so... I dont know the word...maybe shallowly whereas I could see the depth of her character, understood what she did, and felt sympathy for Dani if that make sense?? What do u think?

Also Carrie like really???Carrie???!?!?! WTF :))))

lmaooooo what?? WHAT?? what podcast is this?!!

i agree that the storyline with Rodolfo is a bit meh, but saying we need MORE FINLEY? please......

like how are you gonna complain about the hours of Finley screentime not being enough, when everyone else has to make do with scraps

and as for Gigi and Carrie... HUH??!? they would not be compatible AT ALL - especially after the whole scallops interaction lol. it makes as much sense as idk, Nat and Shane, or Pippa and Finley. it's like they pulled two random names out of a hat and just ran with it 😂

#as for the Dani part i of course see the depth to her character #if she got more screentime i think most would too #ask

I feel like these writers don’t understand that just because you make them third years it doesn’t mean they’re 18 or legal when the big three appeared and they were third years n 17 n didn’t turn 18 till late in the year It’s not that hard to make UA a university if it’s soo important to have it set in UA and not them as pro hero’s but for these writers to try and make it seem as tho we are making shit up isn’t right 😐 they do the bare minimum n are mad when we’re confused (sending to mci too!)

LMAOOOOO i put so many hot takes in my response to this and scrapped it because i had to cool myself down. 💀

it's like you do know how fucking creepy that YOU an ADULT are arguing that you should write MINORS in their HIGH SCHOOL setting and only bothering to age them up to the YOUNGEST LEGAL AGE. if this isnt any red flags, surely there's something missing.

i hope people realize that if everyone just wrote them as actual adults in adult settings, there would be less discourse about it. but no, try and blame your gross writing on people who are uncomfortable lmao.

like why is it so hard for people to get that? write them as adults if you are an adult. simple. dont get me started on how hard they go to bash actual minors and it's like lets not forget who youre writing for. 💕

not to be a nerd but i accidentally just wrote a whole impromptu essay about editing ndjsdksksk im throwing it under a cut bc it's fucking inane and really long but honestly... i just want other people to become as passionate about editing as i am lmaooooo

i also recommend 2 books in the post so if anything at least check those out!

quality books about editing... *chef's kiss* a lot of the basic ones (including blog posts online n such) are geared towards beginners and end up repeating the same info/advice, much of it either oversimplified or misrepresented tbh. but i read one yesterday and i'm reading another one right now that really convey this passion for editing + consideration for it as its own sort of art and i just!!

it's such a weird thing to be passionate about lmao but i AM and i've spent a lot of time the past year or so consciously honing my craft (ik i mention this like 4 times a week i'm just really proud of how much i've learned and improved) and kind of like. solidifying my instincts into conscious choices i guess?

and these GOOD editing books have both a) taught me new information and/or presented familiar information through a new perspective that helped me understand something differently or in more depth, and b) validated or even just put into words certain preferences or techniques that i've developed on my own, that i don't normally see on those more basic lists i mentioned

btw the book i finished yesterday is self-editing for fiction writers: how to edit yourself into print by renni brown and dave king, and the one i'm reading currently is the artful edit: on the practice of editing yourself by susan bell.

the former was pretty sharp and straightforward. the authors demonstrated some of their points directly in the text, which was usually funny enough that i would show certain quotes to my sister without context

("Just think about how much power a single obscenity can have if it’s the only one in the whole fucking book." <- (it was)

"Frequent italics have come to signal weak writing. So you should never resort to them unless they are the only practical choice, as with the kind of self-conscious internal dialogue shown above or an occasional emphasis."

or, my favorite: "There are a few stylistic devices that are so “tacky” they should be used very sparingly, if at all. First on the list is emphasis quotes, as in the quotes around the word “tacky” in the preceding sentence. The only time you need to use them is to show you are referring to the word itself, as in the quotes around the word “tacky” in the preceding sentence. Read it again; it all makes sense.")

and like i said, i also learned some new ideas or techniques (or they articulated vague ideas i already had but struggled to put into practice), AND they mentioned some suggestions that ive literally never seen anyone else bring up (not to say no one has! just that ive never seen it, and ive seen a lot in terms of writing tips, advice, best practices, etc) that ive already sort of established in my own writing

for example they went into pretty fine detail about dialogue mechanics, more than i usually see, and in talking about the pacing and proportion of "beats" and dialogue in a given scene, they explicitly suggested that, if a character speaks more than a sentence or two and you plan on giving them some sort of dialogue tag or an action to perform as a beat, the tag or action should be placed at one of the earliest (if not the first) natural pauses in the dialogue, so as not to distance the character too far from the dialogue -- bc otherwise the reader ends up getting all of the dialogue information first, and then has to go back and retroactively insert the character, or what they're doing, or the way they look/sound while they're giving their little speech

and like this was something ive figured out on my own, mostly bc it jarred me out of something i was reading enough times (probably in fic tbh) that i started noticing it, and realized that it's something i do naturally, kind of to anchor the character to the dialogue mechanic to make sure it makes sense with the actual dialogue

so like. ok here's an example i just randomly pulled from the song of achilles (it was available on scribd so i just looked for a spot that worked to illustrate my point djsmsks)

the actual quote is written effectively, but here's a less effective version first:

“Perhaps I would, but I see no reason to kill him. He’s done nothing to me," Achilles answered coolly.

see and even with such a short snippet it's so much smoother and more vivid just by moving the dialogue tag, not adding or cutting a word:

“Perhaps I would, but I see no reason to kill him.” Achilles answered coolly. “He’s done nothing to me.”

the rhythm of it is better, and the beat that the dialogue tag creates functions as a natural dramatic pause before achilles delivers an incredibly poignant line, both within the immediate context of the scene and because we as the readers can recognize it as foreshadowing. plus, it flows smoothly because that beat was inserted where the dialogue already contained a natural pause, just bc that's how people speak. if you read both versions aloud, they both make sense, but the second version (the original used in the novel) accounts for the rhythm of dialogue, the way people tend to process information as they read, AND the greater context of the story, and as a result packs significantly more purpose, information, and effect into the same exact set of words

and THAT, folks, is the kind of editing minutia i can literally sit and hyperfocus on for hours without noticing. anyway it's a good book lmao

the one i'm reading now is a lot more about the cognitive process/es of editing, so there's less concrete and specific advice (so far, anyway) and more discussion about different mental approaches to editing, as well as tips and tools for making a firm distinction between your writer brain and your editor brain, which is something i struggle with

but there have been so many good quotes that ive highlighted! a lot of just like. reminders and things to think about, and also just lovely articulations of things id thought of or come to understand in much more vague ways.

scribd won't let me copy/paste this one bc it's a document copy and not an actual ebook, but this passage is talking about how the simple act of showing a piece of writing to someone else for the very first time can spark a sudden shift in perspective on the work, bc you'll (or at least i) frantically try to re-read it through their eyes and end up noticing a bunch of new errors -

or she talked about the perils of constant re-reading in the middle of writing a draft, which is something i struggle with a LOT, both bc i'm a perfectionist and bc i prefer editing to writing so i sit and edit when i'm procrastinating doing the actual hard work of writing lmao

it's just this side of fake deep tbh but i so rarely see editing discussed like this--as a mixture of art and science, a collaboration between instinct and technique, that really requires "both sides of the brain" to be done well.

and because of the way my own brain works, activities that require such a balanced concentration of creativity and logic really appeal to me. even though ive seen a lot of people (even professional writers) who frame it as the creative art of writing vs the logical discipline of editing. but i think that's such a misleading way of thinking about it, because writing and editing both require creativity and logic -- just different kinds! (not to mention that the line between writing and editing, while mostly clear, can get a little blurry from up close)

but like...all stories have an inner logic to them, even if the writer hasn't explicitly or consciously planned it, and even if the logic is faulty in places in the first couple of drafts. when you're sitting and daydreaming about your story, especially if you're trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between two points or scenes (or, how to write a sequence of events that presents as a logical, inevitable progression of cause and effect), the voice in your head that evaluates an idea and decides to 1) go with it, 2) scrap it, 3) tweak it until it works, or 4) hold onto it in case you want it later? that's your logic! if an idea feels wrong, or like it just doesn't work, it's probably because some part of you is detecting a conflict between some part of the idea and the overall logic of your story. every decision you make as you write is formed by and checked against your own experiential logic, and also by the internal logic of your story, which is far less developed (or at least, one would hope), and therefore more prone to the occasional laspe

but while ive seen a number of articles that discuss the logic of writing, i don't see people gushing as much about the art of editing and it's such a shame

the inner editor is so often characterized as the responsible parent to the writer's carefree child, or a relentless critic of the writer's unselfconscious, unpolished drivel

and it's like... maybe you just hate thinking critically about your work! maybe you view it that way because you're imposing external standards too fiercely onto your writing, and it's sucked the joy out of shaping and sculpting your words until they sing. maybe you prefer to conceive of your writing as divine communication, the process of which must remain unencumbered by lessons learned through experience or the vulnerability of self-reflection, until the buzzkill inner editor shows up with all those "rules" and "conventions" that only matter if you're trying to get published

and like obviously the market doesn't dictate which conventions are worth following, but the majority of widely-agreed-upon writing standards, especially those aimed at beginners, (and most especially those regarding style, as opposed to story structure) have to do with the effectiveness and efficiency of prose, and, in addition to often serving as a shorthand for distinguishing an amateur from a pro, overall help to increase poignancy and clarity, which is crucial no matter the genre or type of writing. and even if you personally believe otherwise, it's better to understand the conventions so you can break them with real purpose.

so editing shouldn't be about trying to shove your pristine artistic masterpiece into a conventional mold, it should be about using the creative instincts of your ear and your logic and experience-based understanding of writing as a craft to hone your words until you've told your story as effectively as possible

thank u for coming to my ted talk ✌️

the world in her heart, her heart in his hands

assorted sidenotes for the fic i made in response to an anon-sent aesthetic prompt! oooh boy, i sure took long on this one lmao...... _(:3 」∠)_

prompt #7: steady notes coming from a guitar nearby, fireflies dancing around the clearing, two sleeping bags close together, and a bright full moon briefly covered by a cloud.

so the core idea i had when i saw that prompt got requested was based on jonah’s say i do! route: he says that one day, he wanted to go to the land of reason + see the place alice was born and raised. tbh idk how the prompt even led me to that, but the imagery vibes i got from the prompt hinted of something like freedom. or something like lovers secretly meeting in the woods, which i sort of went by.

OKAY SO I SWEAR I FINISHED WRITING THE PROMPT (day zero!!!) EARLY (by my standards) LMAO.............. like, maybe a week after i got the ask or so? but then when i went about proofreading it i felt that it was... lacking??? i can’t explain it myself, but i didn’t wanna post it yet until i got that feeling cleared out - i tried revising + adding, but it didn’t help so i just started thinking about expanding the fic instead...

thinking about the scenes really took longer than i thought?!?!?! i wanted this request up early but i was stumped on what kind of scenes i wanted to see + how their lengths were gonna be.... plus i was thinking if i should go solely on narration + description........ or maybe more of dialogue...... then i jumped to holy shit what’s my timeline gonna be what cultural whatnot am i gonna emphasize and i think i fussed over those aspects rather than picturing the actual scenes LMAOOO.......................

great disclaimer: i have NEVER stepped into the uk..... or england + london for that matter ahahaha GET REKT tho i want to someday huehuehue....... i heavily relied my research on maps + history websites + train timetables to help me get through the touring parts so do forgive me if i messed up somewhere + butchered history haha..... i was thinking to make things vague, but since i’m always in for emphasizing the differences between cradle + land of reason, i decided to get a little technical with it......

i have to admit that i wrote most of the fic during breaks in work hELLA RAD........... i’m doing my job properly, i swear........ it’s just that when i already have a stable idea of what i want to happen, the scene becomes clearer in my mind. i wanted so! badly! to add scenes of jonah pronouncing words and looking at various things funny!!! jonah and his attempts to communicate with londoners!!! fussy jonah poking around a boutique, him being fascinated + studying displays of gun shops, or him accidentally offending the royal guard + constables LMAOOOOO but i couldn’t seem to write anything satisfactory involving those ideas........... ಥ_ಥ

back to the issue of timeline, i was picturing the london in this fic to be around the 1860s or smth.... but then i remembered that in edgar’s dramatic end letter, he mentions his fascination with electricity aka lightbulbs......... which were, like...... discovered early 1800s but only became common in 1882 ahahaha....... when i realized this i was already writing day 18 oOOPS so i just decided to go on and wing it I’M SORRY _(:3 」∠)_

on timeframe, i know that it’s very highly unlikely that jonah would take a vacation for two months. i bet the mere concept of a one-month vacation is enough to give him a heart attack LMAOOOO but let’s just say that red army told him to take his time in the land of reason, especially when they learn that jonah plans to formally meet alice’s parents. when he hears about this, lancelot tosses in the suggestion of proposing to alice while they’re in the land of reason, so that jonah can tell her parents about that too. jonah thinks it’s a fantastic idea..... so he decides to accept hot damn, a two month vacation!

whole route & lengths of stay (points streaked with red are mentioned within the fic minus nottingham whoops sorry):

london [16 days bc IT’S A BIG CITY LMAO (day 30 - 14). rides a morning train going to bristol on the 14th, arrives there midday.]

bristol [5 days (day 14 - 9). leaves bristol on the morning of the 9th to walk all the way to glastonbury, arrives there come late afternoon / evening.]

glastonbury [4 days (day 9 - 5). leaves midday of the 5th to walk their way to alice’s village, arrives there around sunset.]

alice’s village / ‘actual wonderland’ lmao [5 days (day 5 - 0). located somewhere in between bridgwater, taunton, and glastonbury. month 1 of vacation has ended.]

day log commentary!

thirty. arrival in the land of reason through falling - routes where alice does go back don’t feature her falling down london’s sky, so maybe she’s just... spit out from the hole????? idk haha so i altered it anyway!!!!! the landing scene was initially like this: jonah lands first, he catches alice in his arms, they banter a bit....... and then they suddenly remember the suitcase only for said object to fall right on jonah’s head LMAOOO....... it’s a cradle magical object that looks like a regular suitcase but will always be as light as a feather despite it’s contents + it has GREAT CAPACITY so jonah is actually okay!!!!!! i decided to scrap that scene concept though haha!

twenty-nine. does the hole to the land of reason only open around midnight or smth???? i’m sure it doesn’t, but i went with jonah + alice leaving cradle minutes before twelve o’clock, so when they arrive in london jonah gets to see the big ben signal midnight. is that planned on alice’s part? maybe. on another note, i’m assuming that a high-ranking officer + noble like jonah is definitely used to traveling to other countries so he’s definitely not one for homesickness, but i like the thought of him always feeling all sorts of uncomfortable on his first nights away from home - he doesn’t make a big deal about it bc he gets better three days in or so. idk, it just seems fitting for someone very particular like him.

twenty-seven. if luka’s hair is fucking dyed, my god (no wonder i found those light ends of his hair sorta funny), then here’s jonah excuse to adapt another hair color with the help of magic crystals LMAO - i always stick with a reality ensues standpoint, so his ikeman looks aside, i’m sure londoners would find jonah’s hair color (heck, maybe even his eye color) very unique. alice can’t deal with all that sudden attention lol but she somewhat proud that the man who has effortlessly captured the attention of the people of her world too is the man she proudly calls her lover ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

twenty-three. now that i think of it, what exactly does cradle mean when they say the land of reason? are they simply referring to the city of london, or earth as a whole??? most likely the latter, but i’m pretty sure no one except blanc (and possibly ray bc that globe in his room lol) know exactly how large the land of reason is. anyway, not gonna lie, i wanted jonah + alice talking about novels by maybe the likes of charles dickens, thomas hardy, george eliot or h.g. wells. heck, maybe jane austen and charlotte bronte too!!!! but i had to scrap that bc gaps in understanding cultural & historical references + use of language, figurative and non-figurative.... it’s a shame about the last two though - i’m sure jonah can somehow probably relate to the society depicted in their books since the red territory sounds like your typical breeding place of victorian era nobles lmao!!!!

eighteen. sometimes when people learn / gain a deeper understanding about new things, they have the urge to brag about said knowledge to others - of course jonah wants to show alice what he knows about her world so far haha! calling a train a mechanical beast tho lmao..... he refers to it that way, but i think it’s his target of fascination in london!!! noise and possibly environmental issues aside, it’s very convenient + efficient and can cater to all, but what he finds most impressive that it’s a man-made locomotive!!! that’s something worth incredible praise!!! ( ᐛ )و

fourteen. actual train ride!!! hmmm.... i think jonah only panics maybe a good thirty minutes in when the train starts moving??? alice tries to calm him down by pointing at the passing scenery out the window + idle chatter until jonah finally relaxes himself.... but then he starts to panic slightly again when alice suggests that they look around the train and he’s like: is that even remotely safe??? what about our baggages, can we leave them unattended??? hey, i saw you snicker - how dare you laugh at me!!!

nine. according to google, an estimate of a walk starting from bristol going to glastonbury is 8h 25min. that’s for the present time though - would’ve it been shorter or longer in the past??? idk, but definitely one’s pace during the walk affects the total time, lol. since railroads only started out around 1830s + i made alice a village girl, walking really is her way to go. pedestrianism was still a thing around the 19th century!!! her stamina in other routes tho lol (ﾟ⊿ﾟ)

six. here’s my self-indulgent thing of wanting to add a dance scene, pt. 1 LMAOOOO - the steps in the scene aren’t really from a certain folk dance in england, much less from glastonbury itself... i did look up on england folk dances, but i couldn’t pick one that i wanted to incorporate into the scene so i went with describing some random steps on the top of my head _(:3 」∠)_ ..... maybe someday, i’ll write a proper one..... on another note though, i suppose jonah can adapt quickly to folk dances, but he may come off a bit stiff at first in line / column dances where there’s the switch of partners??? i mean, there are formal 19th century dances that have that same concept, but.... the finesse + personal boundaries are all there lmao - he’s not against the casual intimacy + show of obvious joy in folk + common dances though, it’s just more of that he’s not used to the informality of it all, i think.

five. plot twist: alice does lead jonah to her home, the cottage on a hill like she always described, but what he doesn’t expect is when she solemnly says that she’d introduce him to her parents she leads him to the back of the hill and in the foot of the hill he finds himself staring at her parents’ gravestones as she’s smiling sadly with a bouquet of flowers in her hand OH WAIT WRONG GENRE WASN’T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FLUFF LMAO - kidding aside, i do hope cybird catches onto the idea of a story event of chosen suitor going to the land of reason with alice to meet her parents or smth!!! they did do a travel event in the jp ver, after all.... but i’m not keeping my hopes up haha....... _(:3 」∠)_

zero. self-indulgent thing of wanting to add a dance scene, pt. 2 - tho it’s in the latter part along with the prompt lmao!!! hmmm, i’m pretty satisfied with how this one turned out tho i had a little problem arranging the first half - the rest i relatively left untouched even after i added the rest of the days to the fic. hopefully, does well as a nice end to the fic itself..... tbh, the thought of summer dress alice + casual shirt & pants jonah both barefoot & running around like children in moonlit woods (don’t do this in real life folks) made me smile a lot. give me more soft-and-not-so-tooth-rotting-fluff scenes, cybird

also!!! since the prompt involved a guitar, i had a certain track on repeat lmao - you can listen to it here, and it’s the second to the last track titled umibe ni yurete (swaying in the beach)! (ノ^∇^)

and that’s all that i’ve got today!!! thank you very much for reading + hope you’re staying safe & well wherever you are!!!!（｡≧◇≦）ﾉ

#rundown.txt #u know what else took me so long to decide on this fic #a title + summary LMAOOOO #i wanted the title to be something related to the prompt but.... so much for that orz #i usually have no problems making them up but #why was this a struGGLE LOLOL

For the 40 writing asks: 4, 7, and/or 8!

4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Oh wayyyyyyyyyyy too many as evidenced by my huge pinned post about all of them lmaooooo

The most recent being rooftop gang normal au where Shouta, Oboro, and Hizashi are all regular teachers at a regular high school and then Nemuri gets a job there and Oboro is just like 😍

You know

The usual

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Every time someone asks me to share I immediately go to the highly acclaimed fanfiction Present Mic's Totally Bullshit Life because it is without a doubt the best thing I've ever written but today I want to share something entirely different so what you're getting, you poor bastard, is something from the smash bros fanfic my brother and I co-wrote, The Problem With the Cold Season

"And with a sneeze that mimicked the sounds of nails on a chalkboard, a squirrel barking, and that noise Jim Carrey makes in Dumb and Dumber, Kirby quickly absorbed Wario and gained his powers."

"He tried to keep from sneezing, but with a noise that sounded like a dolphin cover of the Spongebob theme, a cat screeching in the night, and the low mournful song of a lost whale in the deep ocean, long forgotten by its friends and family..."

"The feeling hit, and with the sound of a microwave beeping at 3am, the seagull singing in The Little Mermaid, and silverware on a dinner plate, another sneeze forced him to send an arrow far, far off course."

Okay I know this is cheating because it's three whole examples BUT

Like if you track down this story now that I've given you a title and three entire snippets, be my guest dude, it's old and dumb and really really terrible but the last chapter might be the funniest fucking thing I've ever written. The entire premise of this story revolves around all the super smash bros characters living in a mansion and Kirby catches a cold, and every time he sneezes he accidentally inhales and steals someone's power. Like I said. The dumbest thing. But writing out these dumb sound descriptions had me fucking wheezing four years ago when my brother and I made a joke fourth chapter after ten years of abandoning this story, and between describing sneezes with awful sounds and the running "it's been ten years" gags I'm mostly proud of it because it's the rare opportunity to see what my writing was like in 2008 as compared to 2018.

So yeah. Sorry you had to learn I wrote terrible smash bros fanfiction

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Ah fuck.

I wasted my funny answer so now you get a serious one

This is a huge fucking snippet I'm sorry

"Well, I for one think you have the saddest eyes I've ever seen. It's like if somebody kicked a puppy, then that puppy got lost, then it started raining, and now the puppy's begging at a doorway of an abandoned warehouse hoping for scraps from whatever grisly creature lurks within."

"... Thanks. That's really-"

"What I'm trying to say, Puppy Eyes, is you haven't had many friends have you?"

"... No."

"And you've kinda implied that your parents are massive douchecanoes."

"... Shirakumo."

"Plus you think your quirk is terrible because it doesn't give you advantages, meanwhile your three super hot besties all have totally rad quirks."

"If this is supposed to make me feel better-"

"And then there's insomnia and dry eye and your 'i'm a loner so leave me alone' vibe-"

"Are you going to get to the point?"

"The point is you clearly need a lot more love in your life man!"

So this is from the bnha fic Would Anyone Care about Oboro basically talking Shouta down from a pretty bad point in high school which is like a Core Memory in regards to my own personal headcanons and a conversation I think I've brought up before in an ask game?

But anyways I think it's something I'm really proud of because I honestly felt I nailed Oboro's personality without actually cheapening the overall subject matter of the story. Plus it flowed so well when I was writing it that it's one of the sole reasons it even got published, cause this was a short fic I did as backstory to an abandoned au. To date it's one of my favorite things I've written for these characters.

Also it does kind of take the edge off of the real focus of the story in a good way and god bless for that because it could have been real sad.
