the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

#anyway it’s still a couple years away #but man im so fucking excited for my 30s!!!!!!!!!#i made it!!!#i survived!!!#so many people never got the opportunity to be 30 #im gonna enjoy every fucking second of it!#sulley speaks #sorry my coworker said something really rude to me lol #it struck a nerve

I think it’s fascinating that katara says “then you didn’t love her the way i did.” there’s a double meaning there. there’s “you didn’t love her as much as i did,” which is a hurtful thing to say, regardless of whether or not it’s true. but then there’s also, “we don’t love her the same way.” which is true. they clearly love their mother differently. it’s not a matter of more, it’s a matter of how. kya birthed them, literally, but her death was also a rebirth for both of them. her sacrifice shaped their respective identities.

katara loves her mother as the site of her creation myth. she wears the memory of what kya did for her around her neck, desperate to prove herself and be the hero she needs to see in the world. sokka sees that in katara, her drive to create change out of this formative injustice, but he also sees the price of it, and shapes himself into the new sacrifice necessary for katara’s hero’s journey. if katara sees kya as her legacy, as her creator who she must honor and avenge, sokka sees kya as his fate, as his inevitable future born of an inexorable past.

who can say which child loved their mother more. but how they loved her, and how they grieve her… well. their modes of mourning differ based on the roles they see fit to inhabit and the narratives created by their formative traumas. katara’s duty is to remember: kya’s absence is physical, she wears it around her neck, her mourning is an act of creation. sokka’s duty is to repress: he forgets his [mother’s] face as he neglects and sublimates his own. consider how frustrating it must be for katara that sokka refuses to speak of her defining, mythmaking event, that he copes with own fate by attempting to ignore it. so there certainly is a difference there, in how they choose to honor kya’s memory. what katara said may have been hurtful, but it wasn’t entirely wrong.

#i know i say a variation of this literally all the time but i keep finding new ways to phrase it bc it never leaves my brain!!!!! sorry!!!!!#and then there’s also the respective ways they approach their father’s sacrifice/absence #and how it’s almost the exact opposite of their responses to kya’s #except katara is MAD #god it’s so fascinating #i need to talk about that more too #but this line is obviously so . loaded #she’s spitting facts frankly but the way sokka retreats into himself is also fascinating #he doesn’t know how to process his trauma in a healthy way he simply doesn’t know how!!!!#and now thinking about it is like. impossible #and she struck a nerve! because it’s not just petty it’s TRUE #katara #sokka #katara&sokka #katara&kya #kya&sokka #they have. they have the same face you guys!!!!#analysis #hot takes

So Larian destroyed two of most loved evil-aligned characters from BG1-2 by making them quite the opposite of they was before.

Rebel and outcast from Underdark because of her unwilling to torture a child, Viconia became fanatic and kidnapper.

And Sarevok who NEVER worshipped Bhaal became his most loyal servant. (actually EVERY ONE LINE about Sarevok in dialogue file is insulting. Obvious contempt really)

What's next? Maybe someday we will get Neverwinter Nights 3 with Bishop, somehow torn from the Wall, as very proud worshipper of Ilmater and Ammon Jerro as big fan and successor of King Of Shadows?

I'd understand (not approve) if this was about hypocrisy and moralism, but in BG3 world isn't just black and white. We got many new complicated characters tending to evil alignment. But these two just look like they was written by despising author who wanted to make them dirty.

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 2 #baldur's gate 1 #neverwinter nights 2 #neverwinter nights 3 #sarevok anchev #viconia devir #sarevok #viconia #whining #larian struck my nerve

** warning drama ahead **

Regarding plagiarism and @lettersfromvenus:

I definitely did not envision this to be my first post back from the break that I’ve been on from posting but after my lengthy exchange with her last night I’d just like to clear the air and explain the situation from a different point of view as I believe lettersfromvenus has been dishonest to her audience

** but before I even get into all of that I would like to sincerely apologize if you have messaged me, replied to one of my posts or sent in an ask, I am going to start working on getting back to everyone as soon as possible- I cannot even explain how much I have missed being active on here and I’d like to give a huge thank you to all the elvis fans and blogs out there because y’all have been keeping my moral high 🫡

my immune system decided to quit a little over a week ago and what I thought was a normal cold/flu turned out to be pneumonia of all things. even though I lowkey almost died from it when I first got it as a kid, I don’t remember it being this exhausting?? I’ve been bedridden like a victorian child and have been reminiscing on all the times that I had an appetite and could stand up without losing my breath

literally me since last thursday

** as for the situation regarding lettersfromvenus **

a few days ago it was brought to my attention that some accusations were being made against her after I saw an ask that was sent to another Elvis blog on here. She was being accused, by the original author, of copying a fic (word for word) from wattpad (including the title and cover-art) and posting it on here as though it was her own work

here is that post from the og author ⬇️

I always try to be as neutral as possible but after reading posts from both @ladiilokii and lettersfromvenus, I ultimately decided that the latter was clearly in the wrong and that her explanations made no sense and did nothing but pivot the blame

and so I left this exact comment on ladiilokii’s post to show support ⬇️

** “at first I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt but her responses to your messages are just insane, I’m so sorry this happened!! I’ve unfollowed her and reported her post, I can’t believe she is refusing to take it down after being caught red-handed 🤧” **

“insane” was a harsh word to use but that is the only word that came to mind after reading lettersfromvenus’ responses to being called out

she claimed that she was sent prompts/scenarios by an anonymous person and that she then wrote the fic based on those prompts, which just magically happened to be the exact same, word for word, as ladiilokii’s og fic. not only is that impossible, but it also doesn’t account for the stolen cover-art as an anonymous person cannot send a photo through the inbox, their username would have to be public

letterfromvenus then admitted to the og auther (pictured below) that she got the cover-art directly from the original fic on wattpad

** “all I did was steal the title and the picture because it had fit so well with what I thought my fic”-lettersfromvenus ** im sorry but how do you “think”something is your fic? you either wrote it or you didn’t…

lettersfromvenus’ full direct message to ladiilokii ⬇️

these explanations made zero sense to me and the lack of accountability on her part is astounding- she basically said “your work was amazing, they meant for it to be copied” ?!?

Much like the og author, I don’t believe that lettersfromvenus was sent any prompts by an anonymous person. I think she found the original fic and posted it as her own work thinking nobody would know where she got it from as it was originally posted in a vast collection of one-shots

I can’t speak to experience of being a writer but I could imagine it would be incredibly disheartening to have someone else take the credit and reap the rewards of all the hard work, effort, and time that goes into writing a fic

and so that was my involvement in the situation. like I mentioned I did decide to unfollow her because I thought it was unfair/dishonest how lettersfromvenus was making ladiilokii out to be the aggressor even though she had every right to call out the person who was stealing her fic

but nonetheless I didn’t say anything to lettersfromvenus and I just hoped that she would learn from her mistakes and offer a more sincere apology and explanation in the future

flashforward some days later to yesterday, when around 5:40pm, I got sent an anonymous ask which had a link to a new post from lettersfromvenus. obviously there is no way to prove who sent in the ask but I had my suspicions that it was her as she directly addressed the og comment that I made on ladiilokii’s post, in her new post⬇️

(https://www.tumblr.com/lettersfromvenus/730026135806722048/okay-so-i-swore-right-down-to-not-waste-my-time-on?source=share)

in retrospect I shouldn’t have engaged but I just couldn’t believe that she was trying to twist the situation and make it seem like she was getting all this unwarranted hate when in reality this was started by her when she consciously decided to steal another person’s work, and then refused to accept any blame. I still stand by my reasonings to unfollow and report her for the stolen fic

and so I commented on lettersfromvenus’ new post (linked above) to clarify again why I decided to unfollow her, as she questioned why I did. I wanted to be as frank as possible and so I wished her the best, but I maintained that I wouldn’t support her work in the future and that I thought the og author deserved a better/more truthful explanation

unfortunately I was blocked by her after our back and forth so I can’t see all of my og comments but here are some of hers and mine that I was able to sc beforehand⬇️

may or may not have had a friend send me more sc of the convo after I was blocked ⬇️

“I did not plagiarize the fic” are you sure about that?

courtesy of @ladiilokii ⬇️ (lettersfromvenus is left, og author is right)

some other screenshots⬇️

“you’re literally blaming me for shit out of my control”- it wasn’t out of your control, you purposefully did what you did and instead of openly admitting to it, you’re pivoting the blame onto an “anonymous” sender (which she has still shown no proof of)

and even if someone did send you a complete fic in your inbox, you are still obligated to say that it is not your own original work if you post it, it is still plagiarizing even if the author is anonymous

** btw this was the caption of the fic she posted that she stole from ladiilokii- “Writing takes a lot of time, so please make sure to support us writers” writing does indeed take time… copying and pasting does not **

and please the irony of saying this fandom is toxic for calling you out for stealing another fan’s work- like ma’am take a look in the mirror before calling other people toxic 🤧

my patience is now non-existent regarding this person so I’m sorry if I’m crass but if her idea of “hard work” is copying and pasting a fic and stealing the title/cover-art, then yeah that deserves to be discredited, like what do you expect??

since I was blocked I can’t see my comment anymore but I mentioned how she admitted to stealing the cover-art and that she should have given credit for that, and she then replied that her stealing was essentially justified because the author who made the cover-art didn’t credit the photographer that took the photos of Elvis ⬇️

she also went on to say that everyone who writes the word “Elvis” is plagiarizing Gladys because she created Elvis- I hope she stretched before she made that reach

we only went back and forth for like 15 minutes but my head still hurts from it. she was just impossible to reason with, she had zero accountability, and at times I felt like I was speaking to an actual toddler… she even told me to go back to elementary school to get common sense 💀

me engaging with her on that post proved to be futile, but I can’t say that I fully regret it because this clearly shows her lack of a moral code as a writer (thou shall not plagiarize)

I hate for this to be my first post back and I do know that I am contributing to the drama (for better or for worse) by making this lengthy ass post but that whole exchange with her truly shocked me and I just couldn’t keep quiet about it, especially when she has gone to her followers and made herself out to be the victim, and made others out to be the aggressors… my brain cannot compute the fact that she is trying to garner sympathy from this

** however, I by no means, wish for any hate sent to her about this. some of my comments and rebuttals have been snippy & I definitely lost patience in all of this but I don’t know how old this person is, she could be 12 for all I know, and I think we have probably all been guilty of doing dumb things on the internet. From my understanding she did end up deleting the fic at the og authors request **

I made this post in hopes that it provides some clarity to the situation and in hopes that I could show the conversation with as much transparency as possible as since I’m blocked I’m slightly worried that she is making me out to seem like I instigated this when I only directly spoke to her once I saw that her post mentioned my comment

to me this situation wasn’t even really about who was involved, it was about the principle of it because no matter who the person is, plagiarism is wrong on all of counts. if someone plagiarized lettersfromvenus’ original work in the future, I would still speak to her defense because no one deserves to have that happen to them

if there is anything you would like to do, please show some love and support to @ladiilokii , the original author of “Welcome to Detroit, Baby” <3

anyways- I cannot wait to get back to my original schedule of posting, I’ve been on a break for only 11 days but my god it has felt like an eternity 😭

#idk why this whole situation struck a nerve with me #but it got me heated on a Sunday night #I just don’t understand how someone could steal another persons work and not feel any guilt #again the lack of accountability is astounding #elvis presley #elvis #elvisaaronpresley #elvis fans #elvis fandom #elvis x reader #elvis fanfiction #elvis imagines

like I remember when i committed the grievous crime of saying that pedro pascal self insert fanfiction was both racist and annoying and for the next two weeks it became very clear to me that there was a group chat of some kind coordinating like half the self-insert fandom so they could all send me suibait and essay length anons about how I’m destroying the star wars fandom and censoring queer women and oppressing them from exercising their god-given right to be insanely racist and xenophobic on the internet because they were compelled to write dogshit self insert smut about an actor they loved to sexually harass on twitter, and I couldn’t get away from it no matter how many people I blocked or tags I blacklisted because these people would also constantly use my mando gifs on their posts so I would get notifications at least once a week that someone had added my gif to their fanfiction post and it was always titled some bullshit like din fingers you while you’re on your period🥴🥵 AN: hiiiii everyone the reader uses she/her pronouns and is afab but it’s vague enough to be inclusive to all women haha. anyway isnt pedro soooo hot and (insert slur against latinos that was invented in the 70s). and these people would not leave me alone and even sent vaguely threatening anons to the star wars charity zine I was running with mutuals. in conclusion yes this website has hate mail the likes of which you cannot even imagine and no it’s generally not that funny to be on the receiving end of it

#racism tw #and this is a mild case! so many mutuals get harassed by the same people #anyway struck a nerve lol. hope op of the previous post is doing ok #also I know pedro is white but these people were figuring out ways to be insanely racist and xenophobic. two for one deal

Hey FAM are you still accepting asks if so what's your thoughts on the centi-lizard.

The... centi-lizard? What? I've never heard of... oh, an image. That's—

HOW? No, WHY— WHO would make this? It's obviously not natural! A red lizard and a red centipede? Are you trying to create a monster?? Don't you know that getting too ambitious results in—

...

Only an idiot would have created this. A very gifted idiot.

#FAM asks #fortune amidst misfortune #iterator oc #rain world #I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE ASKS TITLE BACK TO NORMAL LOL #so asks technically aren't open but obviously i'm not gonna turn them down #So I gotta finish one more! maybe ill actually get around to opening the sideblog this time #also i've been looking for an excuse to draw this abomination for a while and this was just too funny #congrats! you managed to scare Fam and Nips!#you seem to have struck a bit of a nerve there :) wonder what that's about.

This is ... fucking crazy!!!

You're a sick mother fucker if you start messing with family members.

Google translate isn't the best, but the gist is that Tenoch is addressing the attacks on his credibility that seem to have escalated after his meeting with the Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the President of Mexico. People have been exposing info about his family , including his daughters' schools. He has received legal advice on stopping the attacks and defamation and his team is working to protect his family. He says the will continue to fight for what they believe in.

#Tenoch has struck a nerve #tenoch huerta #tenoch huerta mejia #jose tenoch huerta mejia

"tisarwat, baby lieutenant": a cousin of mine saw anaander mianaai shirtless during a temple ceremony and she said she has an 8-pack. every last instance of anaander mianaai is shredded.

#ancillary sword #imperial radch #tisarwat: hearing about one esk nineteen's ship really struck a nerve with me. especially since i was the one who blew it up

I hope your family dies as you watch 🌸💐🌺

Funny you should say that because I fucking hate my family and they left to get food without me again even after I asked them repeatedly to wake me up for it because alarms don’t fucking work for me anymore

#I know I said I wouldn’t post #anon hate #but my mum struck a fucking nerve by not telling me after I woke up the first time because I was busting #I don’t blame the kids for it though I don’t want them to wake me up anyway I sleep shirtless
