Hey.

Go ahead and get settled because this will be...long, in true Liz fashion.

So, by now I'm sure most of you have heard what's happened. If not, you can search this blog for some answers or others for more.

I joined this fandom offiicially at the end of September after being a long time lurker. I had just lost my job and times were uncertain for me. I felt inspired to write, and as someone whose formative years were shaped by the fandom experience, I wanted to feel that sense of belonging again - to feel like a part of a community. I've talked about it on here before, but I started my fandom days in the original Hunger Games fandom when the first movie had just come out, and then I shifted gears towards the SuperWhoLock fandom. If you know anything about SuperWhoLock, then you know you had to have pretty tough fucking skin to be a part of any of it.

Of course, this was back in the day when fandom was an actual community and not authors having to beg for scraps of engagement and people thinking its a numbers game. I was a fairly large blog within the SuperWhoLock community (Waywardly-Carrying-On was the username), but I left fandom for a few years because life got hectic and I felt like I had outgrown the fandom itself as I was no longer watching any of the shows. As the years went on, I started to yearn for the fandom experience again, which is how I found myself dipping toes into several different ones.

I was so excited to publish my first fanfic. I had convinced myself that I wasn't a good writer (much to the chagrin of my irl friends), and I had put a pause on writing my original story. I wanted to write this idea about a cowboy and a girl using characters that I had grown to love like I did way back in my older days. So, I started posting, and I was so excited for the story, that I kept posting almost daily. MamaMay was one of the first people to embrace not only my story, but me as a person into the fandom. She made me feel welcomed and wanted.

Pretty much right off the bat I was already getting anons telling me that I was being too much and that I needed to calm down with all the posting. I was confused because...this is Tumblr. It's literally a blogging website? Why wouldn't I post? I decided to ignore the mean words (not before giving my opinion, of course) and kept on doing my thing. Well, the anons got continually worse and worse. I had a suspiscion as to who the anons could be, but I never had concrete proof. So, I experimented with blocking suspects until finally it worked. I'm not naming names because that's not my style, so don't even bother asking.

The fact of the matter is, some of you have entered fandom spaces for the first time, and you don't know how to act. You don't care to learn fandom etiquette as you've made abundantly clear by calling fandom olds every name under the sun while utilizing the anonymous feature. Newsflash, you're part of the problem. You're the reason why authors don't want to publish anymore. You are the reason that something that's supposed to be fun is starting to feel like a goddamn chore.

How many times can authors on here say that we aren't machines? We have lives outside of this website: family, friends, jobs, school, etc. Some of you really are just hellbent on making everyone around you miserable, and it's sad. You can't just leave well enough alone and let people enjoy something, no you feel like everyone has to enjoy it the same way as you.

Some of you go after authors on here because of some weird sense of jealousy too. I don't know why my shit blew up, babe, I really don't. But I started out with no followers and no support just like everyone else. I'll tell you what helped me though: following fandom etiquette and reaching out to other creators to build an actual community. None of this "I've reblogged three of your things and now I'm messaging you so that you return the favor." No, I reached out to make actual friendships which is what fandom is SUPPOSED to be. If someone was clearly not interested, it was fine!! I backed off and kept doing my own thing.

Some of you think being mean on the internet makes you big and bad. Guess what! It doesn't! It's loser mentality and I feel genuinely sorry for you. I'm sorry that people in your own life made you feel so small as to feel like you had to lash out at strangers on the internet who are just trying to have fun.

Anyway, this is my really long way of saying that I am taking a break for a little bit. I have no idea how long it will be - could be the weekend, could be a couple of weeks, could be forever. I need time to decide if this is something I want to keep persuing. If I come back, I don't know if I will remain a TGM blog or if I'll shift gears and hop into another fandom with a rebrand. Guess we'll just have to see.

To the people on here who have been a constant source of joy, laughter, and support: thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Your presence has meant everything to me, and I hope that my break sees me wanting to come back and giggle about the silly plane movie with you all again.

Nothing but love,

Liz 💛

i’ll never understand people who can’t make fun of their faves a little. like yes i love this character and would defend them to my grave but also they’re stupid sometimes and they do dumb things and imma make fun of them for it

#someone commented under the alan post i made with him saying he can’t separate work from personal matters #and felt the need to clarify that this is what a professional would do #like yeah i agree. i made a post about that. #however this post is making fun of the fact that he’s a lil liar GDKDKED #liz rambles #greatest hits

the most unbelievable thing abt heartstopper season two to me is that they just???? drive to paris??? I always forget how small European countries are compared to the US

like I looked it up and it's like a five hour drive????? I could drive for five hours and still be in California. literally yesterday we drive for ten hours and we were only in the corners of like??? four states

look at this shit

what is going on in Europe and why are the countries the size of thimbles

#as a white american geography is NOT my strong suit but holy shit #absolutely flabbergasted at this #liz rambles #heartstopper

I think if you went back to a Good Omens fan in 2019 and explained to them everything that happened in season two they would probably spontaneously combust

Can you imagine if Skyward Sword had an actual Day/Night cycle?

It's the only 3D Zelda without one. Which makes sense, considering you can't ride loftwings at night. But imagine how interesting it would make it to have to strategize around that!

The game would obviously need some sort of mechanic like making a campfire in BOTW or the song of the sun like OOT. But then again, TP just makes you rawdog the cycle so theres no reason that's not an option either.

This would be annoying for the most part on the sky islands. But on the surface? Oh boy.

Imagine you spend a little too long on the surface. Something howls in the distance. The dark sets in. And you're stuck there til morning.

There are stalmasters in this game. Stalfos spawning in the dark of the night isnt much of a stretch. Perhaps an increase in bokoblins in the area too? Perhaps, randomly, monsters can spawn around you in a shower of diamonds. Something to make the surface palpably more dangerous.

But also: material spawns are more common at night. Perhaps some could even be exclusive to nighttime? Some puzzles requiring you to wait til night falls to solve them. The silent realms only being accessible at night. And the part of the game where you're standed in Eldin without your weapons could take place exclusively at night.

There are few safe places- the dragon lairs, the temple by the sealed grounds- any area thats not in the open where an NPC is.

[disappointing-my-kid]

Me: “ok time to finally write that fluffy bowuigi”

Inner me: “bowser brands Luigi. Bowser uses an illusion to make Luigi think hes just watched his brother die. Peach imprisons Luigi when she finds out about him and Bowser, who knew the mushroom kingdom prisons could torture. Mario kidnapping Luigi from Bowser and lowkey torturing him to try and get him to “snap out of it.” Bowser and Luigi in love and married but Bowser accidentally kills Luigi(bonus points if by his own hands) Kamek kills Luigi to help Bowser get back on track.”

This is why i can never write fluff very good

#bowuigi #liz rambles #i have some plans im just busy with moving and new job

hi remember the mob psycho magical girl au that i made a comic about? i made refs for them and making a full fledged au for them!

basic lore is here!

Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama

W: Scythe

A: Energy transfer- Mob can transfer energy from living thing to living thing. Usually uses his own energy to enhance the attacks of his teammates, or he can even use it to heal his teammates. He can't use his own energy on himself, and he can't use a person's energy on that person specifically, it has to come from elsewhere. Mob can also "solidify" this energy to create a barrier.

P: Percentage meter: Basically how it works in the show. Mob probably has to be extra careful as to how much energy he stores because that also can go out of control once he hits 100%.

Arataka Reigen

W: Card deck, but he also brings his own brass knuckles just in case.

A: Move prediction- Using his card deck, Reigen can predict an opponent's next move. He can also see glimpses into their past, and can see into whether or not a person is trustworthy. If he focuses hard enough, he may be able to see a faint trace of a person's future...

P: Ability-reading: Reigen can get a good idea of a magical girl's/enemy's moveset at a glance with admittedly varying results. He can't see right through them, but can get the basic idea. The longer he focuses on them, the more information he can garner.

Ritsu Kageyama

W: Blades, throwing knives for long-range combat

A: Short-distance warp- Ritsu can teleport over short distances, and this will also affect anything or anyone he touches while doing so. He can't teleport longer distances, only about a quarter mile max.

P: Increased agility- Paired on top of the default agility increase, Ritsu is very speedy and dexterous.

Teruki "Teru" Hanazawa

W: Bow (default)

A: Weapon transformation: Teru can transform everyday items into useable weapons. He can turn his tie into a sword, a stick into a staff, or a garbage can lid into a shield.

P: Luminescence: His hair will glow in darker places to help with visibility.

Yea I’ll take a snippet of dpxfnaf

Those are my oldest and newest hyperfixations

Didn’t actually think anyone would want this one but here we go. First one asked for and I gotta do a disclaimer.

I wasn’t into fnaf just the dca. And like the dca self insert side of it too. All of my five nights knowledge comes from the fandom (mostly @bamsara so check her fic out it’s good, Solar Lunacy) ok with that out of the way. This is 100% going to be about the dca. I honestly don’t think I could do proper with the security guard danny

Ok it’s been like what feels a week so im a just have to give up on snippet. (I rewrote it like twice and deleted like two pages of writing ) and just say I had the best idea ever

Danny keeps coming back.

This could be og fnaf or sb. But if he dies he just shows up for work the next night. Like all the animatronics don’t get it. One freaking out to the others about killing the security guard or whatever new hire Danny gets hired on for only for him to show up unharmed the next night. Just always tired.

Man hates it but the job pays well so he doesn’t wanna loose this job. Hes just a collage boy with lots of college bills. He really thought working with all these advanced AI would be fun too :/ too bad they keep killing him. How are these fit for children smh.

He is slowly driving all of them nuts by coming back and making off hand comments about how harming kids is wrong. Maybe he messages management about it once and almost looses the job so now he just stays quite and ignores it.

Eventually he will probably start using his ghost powers to avoid having to buy another work shirt. Those things get pricy.

If any of the bots ask about it he just makes stupid puns at them causing more concern and confusion. Though I like to think all of the bots keep quite about killing him cause their freaking out then he just saunters in next night.

*bot panicking about killing danny*

“Oh the security guard will be here soon we should greet him!”

*internal panic rising cause they know he wont be coming*

Then he just walks in like nothing happened the night before. Not a scratch on him.

If u really want the snippet (it’s not good I promise) ill go finish it for you but beware

#danny phantom #dpxfnaf #fnaf nonsense #liz rambles #anon ask #me drunk yea I can make a dp x fnaf bring it on #now im sober and have no idea what I was on about #I have like two pages of bs from trying to write it #gotta get drunk again I guess

[sailor-aviator]

Okay, so just got home after seeing Anyone But You. My honest take.

I went into the movie expecting it to be HORRENDOUS, but I can admit when I’m wrong. It was actually a pretty solid movie overall. The side characters were so fucking funny (GaTa you have my whole ass heart) and they held their own against each other.

Sydney Sweeney can’t act. I’m sorry, she can’t. That was the consensus coming out of the theater from people who didn’t even know the drama. Her lines fell flat and half the time I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to convey. The other half she was making this face: :3

I genuinely believe that if this movie had had a better female lead, it would have been a smash hit. Sydney just fell flat. I will give her this, I haven’t seen her in anything else (I’m not watching Euphoria, you can’t make me dammit), but not everyone can do comedy. Comedy acting is super hard, and she’s one of the ones that can’t do it, and that’s okay. Maybe she’s better in other things, idk?

Glen was pretty good, but we know he can do comedy, so that’s not really a surprise. I think he fell a little flat in this movie, but most of acting is reacting, and most of his scenes were with Sydney….so.

Anyway, I would say go see it. Not for Sydney or Glen, but for the phenomenal supporting cast. They were the ones that had me laughing out loud most of the time. Glen had his moments, but I’m not lying when I say GaTa and Bryan Brown were the true stars of the movie imo

nah bc imagine being with someone for six years and they dump you because of your mental illness and then they play the victim and write songs about how you just didn’t care enough about them and advertise said songs with insane asylum imagery. ms swift YOU deserve prison but you won’t get time
