okay but
Kinn telling Porsche in ep 6 to leave and start a new life doing the things he loves because he likes to see him happy and porsche walking away and coming back to kiss him
has the same energy as Pat telling Pran in ep 9 that he'll post a status saying that they broke up and that he's willing to do that for him
#bad buddy series#patpran#kinnporsche the series#kinnporsche#okay but both kinn and pat vibe the same when it comes to their lovers#and it's not like porsche and pran are any different#they're willing to do anything for them#you can't change my mind#and like i get it#they're different genres#but like the shows are about love at the end of the day#and both porsche and pran are like#?????#excuse me you're the love of my life and i've not loved you with everything in me for us to pretend now#also it took me ages to find the right gif only for it to disappear so yeah#honestly that's all i want

If you like Mysterious Lotus Casebook, why not try The Blood of Youth? We have...
Jaded protagonist who has lost all his martial arts and claims to just be a humble member of the jianghu, lying constantly about his prestigious background and the fact he's extremely famous:
(Here he is again but dressed like a woman this time for Plot Reasons):
His new sidekick: a puppy in the form of a teenager with floofy hair. Enjoyer of food, kicker of ass:
The leader of the demon sect who gets constantly nerfed by the narrative because if he was at full power all the time there wouldn't really be much of a plot:
The three of them eating together! Bonding! Bickering!:
Other key characters include:
Woman with chronic illness:
Women getting cool action shots:
This distinctive wig worn by the Purple Guy:
A man, I swear:
One actor who's in one of the tumblr famous cdramas that will make you go 'hey, isn't that that guy from the more tumblr famous cdrama!'
This actor playing a guy in love with an older woman:
These two actors playing Bros:
... hang on this is like half the supporting cast?? well anyway if you enjoying looking at actors and going 'hmmmm i swear i've seen them before' then This is the show for you:
This boat! I'm like 75% its the same boat but its difficult to tell with the lighting:
ANYWAY the acting is great the costumes are great the wigs are great I cried for two days straight please watch the blood of youth
#me (lying): yes these shows are very similar#(they're not they're totally different genres but you should watch both anyway!)#mysterious lotus casebook#the blood of youth#li lianhua#li xiangyi#fang duobing#di feisheng#xiao se#xiao chuhe#lei wujie#wu xin#qiao wanmian#ye ruoyi#shi shui#sikong qianluo#yan biqiu#tang lian#ok i'm not tagging all the characters that can be it

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

I think the thing that really makes it so frustrating that people insist that you can write good horror without liking or reading or watching horror is that it comes from a refusal to acknowledge that horror as a genre requires skill specific to it. It's this assumption that because they've felt fear they understand it, and can therefore inflict it on their audience using whatever skills they already have. There's just one issue: not a single person on this planet has never been afraid, so it's a really easy emotion to get wrong in fiction. It's extremely easy for a portrayal of fear to come off as, for example, cheesy, or unintentionally funny, or disingenuous, or for it to just be too personal to be scary to other people. Studying how fear is written and portrayed, both effectively and ineffectively, makes you better at doing those things yourself. In order to write better horror, you have to treat horror as a genre worthy of attention and study. And I, personally, would argue that means that you have to interact with it.
One of the biggest and most important pieces of advice that I got as a writer was to read. It's hard to be a good author who doesn't read, and it's even harder to be a good genre author who doesn't interact at all with the genre that you're writing in, because you have massive gaps in your knowledge that you're not even aware of. You might not even be able to properly critique your work! You have nothing to draw from, nothing to be inspired from except things that were not made for the purpose of inciting fear-- you're fitting a square peg in a round hole and hoping it works.
The people who say no, you can write horror without having read horror, are the same people who would never say the same thing about whatever genre they like the most. On some level they're aware of how much it sucks to have someone with no experience in a genre come in with 100% conviction that they are actually the genre's savior, before coming up with something stale, bland, and full of half-baked inspirations from whatever bits and pieces of genre media they picked up through cultural osmosis, all of which they're convinced are so original because they have no idea they're drawing on any sort of larger tradition. But, because it's horror, this for some reason does not cross their minds.
The argument seems to be that you don't have to read horror to write horror. You don't have to like horror to write horror. You don't have to care about horror to write horror. It's a genre that requires zero effort, zero knowledge, zero skill you can't get elsewhere. It has no value-- but you, the person who doesn't know anything about it, you can give it value.
They don't seem to realize just how insulting that is to hear.
(Final note: queer horror and horror by POC both have rich histories, as does horror that isn't USAmerican or Western European in origin. It's a genre that is popular almost worldwide and has a lot of really excellent offerings from everywhere. Also, in addition to horror movies and novels I really recommend checking out horror short stories/anthologies, which can really show where the genre shines. Don't shy away from older horror, as well! Some of my favorite horror stories are from the 19th century.
If you love the idea of horror but have never really found anything that clicked, I guarantee that there is something out there that you will probably like, and if you want to write horror seeing the sheer breadth of what's out there will help you write better horror-- if at least to show you what you would like to see more of, or what might be missing.)
#horror#writing#horror is a lot like romance in that people who don't know what writing a good HORROR STORY or ROMANCE looks like come in convinced they#know how. and they don't even think#'hey maybe writing A ROMANCE is different from (e.g.) including a romantic subplot. hey maybe writing A HORROR STORY is different from#including horror elements in a story that is ultimately Not That.'#they're treated as Trash Genres. 0 effort all reward.#also 'i don't connect to anything that's out there right now' is not an excuse for IGNORANCE of what's out there right now

So I heard that recently, the creator of The Backyardigans, Janice Burgess, passed away.
I loved that show and it's characters ever since I was little, still do to this day, it was creative and fun, I still love watching my favorite episodes and listening to my favorite songs.
I made a couple of doodles of the characters at least last year, so I'll try to find them (I don't remember where they are ): )
I hope she knew how her show impacted so many of us, even beyond the USA, and I hope she's resting easy.
#And my favorite one has always been- and will always be- Austin#I related so hard#the backyardigans#That show had SUCH BANGERS#Really creative with the rotoscope dancing and all the different genres of music#It was so good#Janice Burgess#Also I love the gang of characters sm#They're such a soft comfort- They make me feel soft#I want to hug them#If there is an afterlife- I hope it treats this lady well- At least for this show#Because tbh I didn't even know or questioned who created it until now#Damn I want to do headcanons and scenarios of the characters with my friends again#swearing in tags#I feel soft and fluffy inside again

what genres are the ex bandmates or is it too early to ask?
Like "biologically" Les and Flea are both half funk and half rock, Hed is fully rock but he was brought up in Vibe City, and Liv is half rock and half techno.
But their actual genres, as in their tastes in music, are hard to categorize. I plan to put them on their character sheets (yes the ones I have been talking about making for more than a month now) but the band as a whole is pretty much nu metal; Think late 90s/early 2000s Linkin Park, P.O.D., Korn, Static-X, Limp Bizkit, Guano Apes, bands like that :)
#hed and flea are the most nu metal of them#les and liv are different genres but they work well with nu metal too#floyd brings linkin park's emo-ness to the band once he starts actively writing songs with hed#answered#trolls#ex bandmates#obviously not all of those songs represent the band. they're very different styles. i just wanted to give you an idea what nu metal is

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)
#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops#i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver#and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up#so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics#of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts)#but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner#helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc#the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT#having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them 😭#not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet#theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet#<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE.#anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me#its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots#also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe#and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver#like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic?#and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams#bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like#well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#helmet

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.
I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.
I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.
It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.
#i've felt this for a while but like. fundamentally? C3 is just...uniquely not set up for terribly satisfying shipping#even the ships I do like and that get small moments are relatively background#like 80% of quote unquote ship content is like. fanon goggles overlaying either parallel play or standard battle mechanics#which is fine! I think it's a different vibe and approach than the past 2 campaigns#i think especially in character creation; self-insert or easy for new players (c1)#followed by Morally Gray Campaign; Prove We Can Replicate This Success; Serious Characters (C2); followed by Let's Get Silly With It (C3)#which is less conducive to that profound connection of c1 or c2. which is not a bad thing!#but god. if you complain about the D&D show having too much d&d plot and not enough romance...yeah pal it's d&d not a dating sim#like I enjoy when there is romance in my fantasy but it's not a requirement. there is a genre full of romance. it is called romance.#i'm also thinking about this bc I need to watch wot s2 but i've been told that the fandom has gotten weird#like wow so moiraine/siuan is not the A plot? in a high fantasy Good vs. Evil series? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT.#getting back to this...i'm also thinking about my own life and like. i moved to where i live not long pre-lockdown#and so i'm finding myself a resident of this area for 4+ years but with weaker connections than i'd have otherwise. and that's fine!#but psychologically i feel so weird about just starting to find my place bc it's been so long even though there's a good reason#and i wonder if the cast/Hells feels the same way ie why are we only just bonding now 70 eps in and so they're hesitant#that I Waited Too Long And Now It's Awkward feeling; that I Should Be Past This By Now fallacy#which. again. i think things early on could have been done differently but that time is past you need to live in the present now.#cr tag

the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it
#this is what separates a good romcom from a bad romcom for me#if the conventions of the genre are used in a way that feels authentic to the characters then it'll never feel cheesy#one of my biggest pet peeves is some of the romcoms of the last decade who have this real 'we're not like other romcoms' energy#where they try to act like they're Different and move away from the usual tropes but it's shit bc that's not the point!!!!#those tropes and conventions are staples of the genre for a reason#it's how you utilise them and incorporate them that matters#like fuck me i hate action movies but i know if i go see one there's a 99% chance there'll be a car chase scene#bc that's usually a staple feature of an action movie and i mean idc but that's fine bc i know it has a function in the story to increase#the tension#and even at that someone who really loves action movies could probably tell me the difference between a good car chase scene & a subpar one#in the same way that just saying something is fake dating doesn't automatically make it good#but if i believe it and i'm in it with the characters? oh boy i'm about to feel so dELIGHTED for the next 90 minutes thank you so much#anyway i'm rewatching the lost city and every second of this movie is so silly in a fun way and fantastical but oH BOY DO I BELIEVE IT#mine

This is a genuine question: I know you enjoy lady whump as you have some characters that are female and are whumpees. I enjoy it too, sorta. Truth is that I feel guilty.
I know it’s kinda problematic to see lady whump as taboo and immoral but I can’t help but feel like it’s wrong, I come from a country that HATES women (shocker all countries hate women but I mean mine has a huge femicide problem) and I know how stupid I sound “I can’t feel but it’s wrong” like duh it’s whump! But I honestly don’t know how to get over those feelings, it hits too close home.
My question here is did you ever got those feelings of guilt and if you did, how did you get over those?
It's understandable to feel guilty at times, especially when creating or enjoying dark content (and especially if it's something that hits close to home)
Initially, I had some reservations about lady whump, since in mainstream media, violence against women tends to be a sensationalized thing that exists for shock value or to motivate the male lead in some way
(it's worth noting that the media has a history of doing this to trans, gay, and otherwise queer characters and non-white characters as well)
Initially I was squicked out by the idea of lady whump because I was so used to seeing it through that lens (not to mention, as you've said, the real-life examples)
However, I've seen again and again that whump as a genre tends to handle that material well (with all genders, not just females). Instead of the shock value, whump focuses a lot on the emotions, how the harm affects the character being harmed, and more often than not gives that character a fulfilling recovery arc
Personally, that's what shifted my opinion on it
Even then, if it's something you're uncomfortable with, you're not at fault for avoiding or disliking it. It all comes down to personal preference, and whether you'd like to explore it more or just stay away, it's your choice, and you shouldn't need to explain yourself (/gen)
#media consumption guilt is definitely a thing#but stories are a way to deal with uncomfortable realities from a safe spot aswell as explore different flawed perspectives#consuming or creating media that DOES sensationalize/'mishandle' sensitive topics is still not morally wrong#you have the right to avoid it as much as you have the right to enjoy it#but whump as a genre is often misunderstood#yeah we like the violence and angst and fleeting whumperflies#but most people i know in the community care a lot MORE about the characters and how the things they go through change them#and how despite all the shit they're put through they still come out#they can still heal and live a happy life#regardless of age; gender; sex; race; etc#anon#hope this helped!#whump meta

just noticed almost all the "ships" I like are actually just queerplatonic relationships in a trench coat
#carols.txt#* my interpretation of them ofc#cant help but wonder if my own inclination as someone on the aroace spectrum contributes to this#the examples i can think of at the top of my head are zac and sucre from off -- mello and matt from death note -- even tm and the lady#<- they're a much more complicated ordeal in my head tbh but lets put that aside for now💀#purelily from cookie run... strawberry crepe and strawberry from also cookie run... HOLLYTAYA FROM COOKIE RUN#krusie from deltarune too hypothetically im not super big on them but i love the idea of queerplatonic krusie#yk a deltarune ship i LOVE as romantic. kris and berdly#LMAOAISIAOAJSKSJA#thinking back on ut ships i think queerplatonic soriel also should join this bunch#ehhh#considering that i do like romance as a genre in spite of not consuming much of it... might be because of it not being depicted in a way i>#can relate to maybe... mhh...#the exception to this rule is rcg and pfetender im sorry. they are romo and they are peak#/lh#on a different note ... (slamming my cane on the side of the door) queerplatonic low and alone... anybody.... f

"I can see will appreciating all types of music genres" well I cannot. peace and love<3
#like sorry I just think he mostly listens to rock some people literally just listen to one genre and that's FINE oh my lord#he would not be pretentious about it I'm not saying that I am sure that when el turns the madonna on he does not bitch or make fun of her#that doesn't mean he's listening to it on his own though lmao. that doesn't mean it's his preferred music choice#you know who I DO think would like a lot of different music genres? el. and I have actual reasons for this#I'm not just saying shit for the sake of saying shit#like she probably wasn't exposed to music for the first 13 years of her life! I bet she loves all sorts of stuff bc it's all so unique!#I bet her favorite songs and artists are based more in sentimental value then anything else#like she likes madonna bc she listens to that with max. she likes bowie bc it's what her brothers introduced to her#she likes riot grrrrl/punk bc of kali y'know?#anyway. in summary. will literally does not have to listen to pop or whatever why would he#like do what you want with mike he canonically sang along to corey hart. but will?#anyway that's how I know y'all are just projecting bc y'all want your fave to have the same music taste as you#and like it's a harmless headcanon it doesn't matter I know. but it is a pet peeve yeah I don't see why will can't just like rock#AGAIN. NOT PRETENTIOUS. HE THINKS OTHER GENRES ARE FINE THEY'RE JUST NOT HIS THING#stranger things#will byers#byler
