So I made some Goblin Emperor memes…

[ID: a series of pictures. The first is of a man, labelled “Maia”, holding hands with an annoyed woman, labelled “The entire Untheileneise Court”; he is looking away from her to eye up another woman, labelled “Being nice to servants”. 

The second is of a man in an office, labelled “Csevet”, with a caption that reads “If you could not bother the emperor with every tiny thing that would be great”

The third is of a cartoon man labelled “Maia” with his hand outstretched towards a butterfly, which is labelled “Anyone who is remotely pleasant to him”. Along the base of the picture, it says “Is this a friend forever?”

The fourth is of Boromir from The Lord of the Rings, captioned as saying “The Emperor does not simply dress himself”.

The fifth is a sequence of two images; in the first, a man labelled as “Setheris” has just shot a man labelled “his own relationship with Maia”, and in the second the man labelled as “Setheris” is now looking at the camera and the caption says “Why would the Emperor do this to me”

The sixth is an image of Rosa from Brooklyn 99, holding a puppy. Rosa is labelled as “Cala, Beshelar, Csevet”, and the words underneath her say “I’ve only known Maia for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.”

The seventh and final image is of Regina George from Mean Girls, captioned “Edrehasivar stop trying to make the bridge happen. It’s not going to happen.” End ID]

Ideas of fatal character flaws? :3

Hi :)

Fatal character flaws

Aristotle calls this ‘Hamartia’ - a tragic flaw or error. It can be anything happening to good or bad characters, even otherwise good character traits and with good intentions that ultimately lead to the character’s demise. They are often traits that don’t neccessarily lead to someone’s downfall, but can if they’re done to an extreme. So think of these otherwise normal ‘flaws’ as extremes.

ignorance - not seeking helpful knowledge

selfishness - not thinking about others

curiosity - getting involved in things they shouldn’t get involved in

impetuousness - being too passionate/ not thinking before acting

pride - not giving in/ not taking help from others 

hubris - exaggerated opinion of oneself/ thinking nothing can get to them

lack of self-control - can’t help/stop themself

indecisiveness* - not being able to make decisions

confirmation bias - only taking in information that supports one’s own belief 

arrogance -  thinking they are superior

Have fun!

- Jana

*Interesting example: Chidi from The Good Place. A morally great character who is so extreme in always trying to make the right choice and therefore not being able to make a decision until it is proven to be right, it basically lands him in hell.

🔹 Saying that it's okay to write or read about dark and taboo topics but only when they're portrayed in a certain way is still censorship.

🔹 Wanting to ban or forbid media that you believe portrays a negative topic in a positive light, by glorifying, romanticizing, or fetishizing it is still censorship.

🔹 There is no objective metric to decide if a story is portraying a negative topic the 'right' way.

🔹 Just because a piece of fiction doesn't explicitly condemn or portray an evil action in a bad light in the text doesn't mean the author thinks its good or is trying to persuade the audience that it is good.

🔹 Survivors of trauma will not always write fiction about their trauma in a way that seems 'right' or 'normal' to you.

🔹 Banning fiction because it portrays dark, taboo topics in a way you consider gross or disgusting is still censorship.

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

This starts out as a nice gesture, then quickly becomes absolutely ridiculous.

ANYONE ANIMATIC BEHIND THE SCENES

In order to fit inside of the perameters of the assignment I had to tweak some details and stuff but nothing too big! Basically I’m making the AFO break out scene so have some behind the scenes concept art n stuff :3

FIC IS BY @gentrychild PLEASEEEEE CHECK THEM OUT

[gentrychild]

I know I’ve said this before but vampires

don’t show up on camera

can fly/scale walls

immune to bullets

can break into any safe by turning into fog or some bullshit

could probably hypnotize security guards as needed

therefore I am in dire need of a heist film where a group of vampires band together to steal back their old stuff from museums

[gentrychild]

this is silly.

inspo.
