Thinking about Glimmer again.

Specifically lately thinking about the delicious tragedy that is how much she loves and revels the full power of the Moonstone and how, since Angella was immortal, she never would have moved beyond needing to recharge her entire existence unless Angella lost her connection to it.

All the joy and desire for power Glimmer has regarding her abilities with full connection to the Moonstone are tainted by this reality but now that she has it... would she give it up? I think she would, but it would plant dark seed of resentment. Especially as Adora grows in power. Glimmer can't stand to feel powerless and also she takes great desires in being powerful.

I think that's one reason she goes so hard on the magic Shadow Weaver teachers her. Only that magic is untainted as it's not being contingent on the loss of her mother. It's something I don't think Bow or Adora could totally understand.

It's just so good and so sad and I love Glimmer so much.

Adam Zyglis :: @adamzyglis :: Four years of darkness…

* * *

President Biden visited Maryland on Friday afternoon and spoke about the tragedy, recovery, and future promise of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor. He began by acknowledging that six of those killed in the tragedy were immigrants working to repair the road surface on the bridge:

The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking. Eight construction workers went into the water when the bridge fell. Six lost their lives. Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders — hard-working, strong, and selfless.

See White House.gov, Remarks by President Biden on Rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge and Reopening the Port of Baltimore.

President Biden also spoke about the historical significance of the bridge and its promise for the future:

Let me close with this. This port is over 300 years old. . . . This port is older than our Republic. And it’s been through tough, tough times before. During the war of 1812, a young Marylander named Francis Scott Key, for whom the bridge is named after, sat in a boat in this very harbor, and he watched — he watched the British troops launch attack after attack on American forces. But as the dawn broke, we saw the American flag still flying, Baltimore was still standing, and our nation, as he wrote in the “Star-Spangled Banner,” had made it through a perilous fight. Folks, this is going to take time, but Governor Moore [and] others are going to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as possible. And, folks, we’re determined to come back even stronger.

As President Biden was delivering sober, hopeful remarks after a tragedy, Trump was making wild allegations on a conservative talk radio show—claiming that President Biden was high on cocaine during the State of the Union address.

No major media outlet covered Trump's unhinged comments, but the “news” segment of Saturday Night Live did cover Trump's accusations—noting that Trump frequently accuses others of engaging in the conduct that he engages in himself. See YouTube, Weekend Update: Trump Claims Biden Is on Cocaine, Earthquake Rattles Northeast - SNL. (Reference to Trump accusation begins at 1:00 minute mark.)

This is no laughing matter. As Dan Pfeiffer notes,

I’m guessing that . . . most of you are learning this information for the first time. And it's not because you aren’t avid consumers of news. It’s because the traditional political media decided to ignore this outlandish accusation from a clearly deranged and dishonest man.

See Dan Pfeiffer on Substack, Why is the Press Making Trump Seem More Normal? (messageboxnews.com). Pfeifer continued his critique, noting that the major media outlets find a few coherent passages scattered in Trump's most recent unhinged campaign speech and use those snippets to make Trump seem normal:

He does a rally or interview filled with insane, incoherent ramblings and then the [news media] clips the most coherent 30-45 seconds to air as part of the package.

The good news is that Trump can’t hide forever at Mar-a-Lago. Several reasons are forcing Trump to come out of hiding and address issues of substance or legal jeopardy. Those reasons include:

Would you ever consider doing a sequel to The Fame Game? Maybe like Tom and y/n are forced to break up and watch each other be set up with different people by the PR?

no !!! it’s a good idea and i’m gen flattered you’d want to read more of them but i wrote tfg two years ago (…… what the fuck …..) so my inspiration for their story is over now ! plus, i gave them a happy ending, an epilogue, and blurbs w them getting engaged and having kids. so id have to fuck w canon and i don’t want to ruin them now they’re all happy etc. thank you for asking tho, it really does mean a lot you’d want to read more of that story :’)

#i’m not being funny but how the fuck was that two years ago . #like what the fuck #i literally wrote my best work 2/1.5 years ago …. WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING #omg i srsly need to get back into it like immediately #anyways #tfg!reader <3 i will never forget the way wattpad hated her <333 like they fr hated/still hate her the comments are so funny #i looooooooved writing that story #i miss them #i’m gonna reread it later #this was a v productive ask thank u for sending it in i really feel like a journey was just embarked upon #anonymous #srry for rambling i haven’t answered any asks in ages i feel crazy

So, I will be honest, I really don't care for Taylor swift. I know a lot of you do, so please don't hate me for that!!

Anyway, I say that because I just listened to her Shake It Off, and I thought it wasn't too bad.😊

As I was listening to it, I remembered that Grayson had to sing it in the TFG for atonement night. The song is very catchy, but certainly not a Grayson song!!

What I am trying to say is that I feel really bad for him everytime I think about what his brothers made him go through. They certainly made sure he would never ignore a 911 again.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on.

Also, any ideas for what Jameson would use his 911 for?

not sure if this will be in the fic. but when they get the dog in tfg, is taylour the one to pick the name felix or is it auston?

Oh it definitely is, it’s in the last part!

They actually don’t tell him he is getting a dog until they arrive to get him because they knew he would be insufferable every day leading up to it and when they arrive Taylour is so excited but can’t think of a name. Every three seconds he is like “no, not XX, he should be XX.”

Auston and Tia just laugh and let him excitedly ramble in the backseat, constantly petting him or pulling him in his lap. Auston eventually looks at him through the rear view and says “what about Felix?” Taylour instantly agrees and that’s his name.

MAN okay. so i have to ramble about this one tfg aspect even if my target audience is me and me alone <3

but i never really talked about the fact that lucille has a tattoo EVEN THOUGH (cough cough, @blue) it's a pretty huge part of this damn novel. their tattoo is on their left middle finger. this will be important later.

So. the tattoo is of the phrase truth is hearsay. now you may be wondering. isn't that a highly contradictory statement? and you'd be damn right! but that's the whole point!

lucille's perception of truth, as most of the characters in this book have, is so, so unbelievably warped by so many risk factors. their emotionally abusive mother, the cycle of abuse subsequently, their abandonment issues, their early shove into the public eye, their relationship and trust issues after being cheated on and, last but not least, their dead father (whose death took them literally over two decades to be informed of how he really died, despite it influencing nearly every facet of their life). so why is this important? why does lucille's warped worldview influence their view of truth?

because they're really shit at distinguishing reality!! and they're perpetuating their abusers' abuse through this because they keep assuming they can hold their feelings above others just to find out the truth!! and this doesn't come across at all like a bad thing to anyone who knows them because they don't know what's in their head. it's also not completely inaccurate to say that their memory gaps contribute, as well as their mental illness.

AND SO: truth is hearsay. hearsay means, in legal terms, evidence that can be brought as 'he said, she said' and is VERY OFTEN denied in court proceedings. still, if truth is hearsay: doesn't that mean Nothing is true? does that therefore mean that having this literally tattooed on your finger implies you use this as a reminder OFTEN to check in with your perceived reality?

which is when the hand placement comes in. lucille has a habit of 'checking' with people when they're lying/ telling them something important by asking them to take their hand. it becomes a capital-t Thing in the novel, to the point zephyr becomes used to it. and what hand do they ask people to take?

their DAMN left hand.

Get to Know Me

uh... another old tag game from @personalizedtohannah... thanks!!!

Rules: You guys know how these go. Answer the questions, tag friends. Yadda yadda.

1. What made you decide to start writing or arting (assuming you write or do art)? I always told stories as a kid, and tried to write several novels growing up. It only really stuck when I get into fanfiction though.

2. What do you like to do more: photo editing or video editing? Photo editing.

3. Which do you prefer: YouTube or TikTok? TikTok.

4. How many books have you read in the last 5 years? I’ve really veered away from novels and original books in the last few years even though I try to focus on them. I usually only read fanfiction, and even then it’s only recently that I can finish them. On that note: I have no idea.

5. Do you tend to post more cheery/cutesy things, silly things or more serious things to your blog? Usually silly, but with the current situation it’s been less silly. 

6. How long have you been on Tumblr? Just ramble for a minute about some changes you’ve noticed about the site. I’ve been on tumblr since pizza was popular, although I was too new back then to understand when they were booted out. I’d say... 2013-ish? I lost my first blog, but I only ever liked stuff on it anyway. I see way less new content than I did back then though.

7. If the staff of tumblr came up to you, genuinely wanting advice on how to improve the site, what advice/request(s) would you give them? Don’t try to make tumblr like other social media sites. 

8. What was the most challenging thing about starting your favorite hobby? How did you get past it, if you ever did? What hobbies? I watch anime and eat.

9. What do you think other people think of when they think of you? For instance, with me, most people think about either tomatoes, chinchillas or black cats, depending on the person and how long they’ve known me. Probably loud. 

10. If every animal except one specific species went extinct but you got to pick which one didn’t go extinct, which species would you pick? My dog. Wait. Maybe bees are more important? But I like my dog. So. 

11. What do YOU feel makes the world go round? Kindness. 

12. What would you say to a person if you heard them talking shit about your best friend? I have confronted people about this and it depends on what it is. She used to be really, really conservative, but she’s really grown over the years. So maybe I would bring that up.

13. What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you that has stuck with you? I have no idea. Niceness doesn’t really stick with me. Uh... that I should be a model even though I’m short af?

14. What was the greatest piece of life advice you’ve ever gotten? If I could have that, maybe I wouldn’t need drugs for depression. 

15. What one or two aspects of your childhood personality would you bring back to your current personality if you could? Reading as a personality trait and being good at school.

Xanatos's infamous line!

I come back to the knowledge that we learn that he gains his riches later in life and not born in it. I think it's easy enough for the wealthy to believe their money can get them what they want. I think it's easy to just have a fundamental belief that money just makes things happen for those people.

But I think Xanatos is speaking from experience here. He will walk barefoot into hell if it gets him where he is. In some ways, a lot of what he does in the show is his way of walking barefoot into hell given the risks he takes. He is spending 'astronomical' wealth not only in having this castle relocated to New York, but he clearly fully expects to be overpaying every single individual he hires in the process.

And to what end?

I think at this point too, knowing he has the wealth to do this, it's super fair to ask 'to what end?' Even once we understand early in the series it was to prove to himself that the paranormal exists and learning the reaches to which it exists. Because we do learn he already knows magic exists. But does this magic exist? And if these magics exist, what other magics exist?

His end is to obtain eternal life. Or at least that's the closest we come to seeing him having any sort of 'end goal.' He's testing all the magics he can and discover what he can to learn which magics reach that goal.

So he puts a castle on top of his tower where he lives to see if monsters of old will truly awaken. They will be in his home. He is there when Goliath awakens. He will be standing before him as the first human Goliath sees after everything we've just endured.

Xanatos would walk barefoot into hell, and he believes others are like him. And is he wrong? There's a lot of people shortly after depicted working on this castle. They've taken the payment to face their fears and worries for the right price.

And that's just who David Xanatos is. I love him.

And it brings me back, after all we just saw in the last episode and a half, to the complicated nature of humans. Robert was good to the gargoyles until he wasn't. Princess Katharine was bad to the gargoyles until she wasn't. Xanatos may end up becoming the gargoyles' villain, but without him, would they ever have awoken?

Nothing, so far, is black and white here.

TFG Demo: Decide Time!

Hey everyone!

Due to a mild rework of its design plan, development on the demo’s boss has gone slower than I expected, and the odds of getting the full, polished, 100% satisfactory kickstarter demo out by the 26th are very slim unless I completely neglect my real world responsibilities.  The reason that this rework is a problem is that due to a kinda shitty couple of weeks, I didn’t get much done at all in February.  So, I have a couple options!

Try to push through and release the full demo on the 26th anyways.  This would mean that all the basic structure of the demo would be present -- the challenges, the enemies, the boss, etc. -- but it would all be lacking polish and quite possibly be buggy and/or not completely up to snuff.  One example of this is a mild overhaul I want to do to Shamrock Swordsman AI, allowing them to use their shields in combat; I wouldn’t have time to get this done by the 26th.  I’m fairly confident I could pull this off, but the demo would be pretty ratchet if I did.

Release a partial demo on the 26th, and follow up with the full Kickstarter demo soon afterwards.  This partial demo would exist solely for you guys to test out mechanics and see how you like them, such as combat, platforming, and more.  The boss would not be present, but important mechanics such as moveset swapping, healing, dying, all the platforming moves, and more that I’m not forgetting would all exist in a moderately-sized non-linear area.  While still likely not perfectly polished, it would be in much better shape stability-wise than Option 1.  The planned linear Fantabula sublevel would be released around 3 weeks later, with the boss and planned challenges and other stuff I’m probably also forgetting right now!

Delay the demo entirely by ~2 weeks.  I’d be surprised if you guys like this option the best, but it’s still definitely a decent choice here!  Basically, this is exactly what it says on the tin: in order to polish everything and get the demo feature complete, I’ll likely need an extra 2 weeks, pushing the demo release from March 26th to more like April 9th-ish.  If this option is chosen I’ll nail down an actual date, but that’s my rough estimate right now.  The reason this is 2 weeks as opposed to Option 2′s 3 weeks is because I wouldn’t be able to reuse the level design of Option 2, meaning some time would be “wasted.”

Unlike past polls, I’m almost definitely going to do what you guys vote as #1 here, since I don’t really have a favorite option.  If I personally had to pick, I’d choose #3 to ensure y’all get the true vision right away, but I did promise you guys that you’d be getting the demo on the 26th so I don’t feel right doing that unless you guys are okay with it.

Enough rambling!  Please swing by and vote on the poll by clicking here.  Like I said, I’m seriously taking what you guys say in this one to heart, so please vote!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if the end result of the poll is neck-and-neck, I will be choosing the option with the best arguments in my discord!  If you want to contribute to that, join it by clicking this link!

can i ask you something/advice wise? do you have a writing plan? like for your series, how did you plan it out? -lani :)

okay so... planning the fame game was a very abstract process? I’ve been conceptualising and imagining a fake dating au since 2018, so I had a lot of different half-planned fics knocking around in my google docs. scattered bullet points, rough outlines, possible plot points, y’know? nothing concrete but wee ideas. I took a year out from writing and tumblr, but back in april (before I came back to tumblr !!!) I had a dream? and in my dream, I got the words ‘the fame game’. I woke up at 2am and scribbled it down on my notes app, went to sleep, forgot about it. then when I came back to tumblr and started going through my drafts and google drive, I found all these ideas, I found the note with the title, and it just....all came together. ANYWAY LONG STORY ASIDE — yes I have a writing plan. always, even for oneshots, but especially for a series. for fame game, as I said, I had a lot of scattered ideas, so I was able to pull them all together and cobble up something coherent from them. if I was starting from scratch, I’d look at prompt lists or brainstorm with a friend. with fame game, I bounced a lot of ideas off @mischiefandi and she even looked at my initial plot outline and gave me some advice, back before I even started writing it. so... long story short, the planning process for me is very much just the universe aligning 😂 lots of scattered ideas, that eventually come together to form something great :) 10/10 recommend a plan before taking on any sort of intense project!

#this is why I think it’s SO useful to just have a doc (or several) in which you record EVERY idea you have #I had 5 different fake dating AUs outlined #fame game is a culmination of them all #planning out a fic becomes easier when you’ve already done the heavy lifting for yourself #I DEFINITELY recommend having a plan before diving into a series... #even just an end point #otherwise you’ll lose yourself and get stressed as fuck #!!!! sorry for the ramble lol tfg is just...very important to #me for a lot of reasons so any excuse I have to gush I will 😂 #amorhollands

Because I did go back and start trying to add names to the nonfiction recs I got, I found that that @automatuck9 recommended me The Last of the Romanovs and I'm so curious how this ended up on your radar and what you took away. It was an incredibly fascinating read. Thank you so much for the rec! I really didn't know much of anything about the real story of the Romanovs. It's so wild to me how someone who can be such a lovely person to their families can also just be... Like That.

It did strike me was interesting that the author was so lenient on Nicholas and his wife. When I started talking to my spouse Empty about it near the end, he had to really think about it because he was wondering if he was confused. He had listened to the Behind the Bastards episode on him, and the way I was talking about him as a person from the information from the book was quite at odds with what he'd learned in the podcast, which I think is hugely due to the book focusing on Nicholas's family life and the podcast focusing on his politics.

I understand and even respect that the book is being a sort of cautionary tale of unfettered revolution hellbent only on vengeance and absolutely agree with any sentiments about irresponsibility in the ranks of those overthrowing Nicholas for the humanity of anyone who could be associated with his rule. But it also just does strike me as incredibly odd how divorced the book kept Nicholas from both the casualties of his ineptitude and refusal to listen to advisers despite knowing he didn't have a knack for sovereignty and things such as the pogroms that resulted from his policies. They just mention his title Nicholas the Bloody a lot but, unless I missed it, there really was very little time taken to explain how he got the title and how he never managed to shake it.

Still, very fascinating read. I learned a lot and can see it being some good grounding knowledge for any potential future history reads of Europe. Thanks for the rec!

Speaking of having Goliath riding on high emotion of exuberance, Demona continues to play into it. What's interesting is that she is definitely trying to situate Goliath so that maybe, just maybe, he will want this enough to come to seeing things her way. She is hoping to use his hopes and dreams of being a clan united together to have his aid in her mission which is instead fueled by rage and hate. She does a good job speaking to his desires, but also her wording is vague enough here to encapsulate both of their hopes and dreams even if Goliath doesn't realize they don't align.

And they get this lovely moment, which I think they both truly enjoy. It has also been a long time since Demona got to soar the skies with another gargoyle. While this is going to hurt Goliath very much, how this all goes, she's also setting herself up for a lot of pain and disappointment. She is more prepared for it not to go as she wants it, but this is definitely an exercise in self harm for her too given I think she does fully realize that no matter how bad it got, Goliath is not going to align himself with destruction of humankind.

I also am very fascinated by these scenes of the two together how many people have held on to shipping these two. They do make a stunning couple, and they once must have made a truly fantastic team. Elisa/Goliath is absolutely an otp for me, so I just don't have any shipping feelings for these two where I can normally be very flexible with ships. Certainly this is a lovely moment for any of their shippers.

It was a while ago now, but I saw a video presumably from BookTok, where a reader was saying how they enjoy thinking about how different books talk to each other. It seemed like a neat concept, but I didn't really think too far into it despite having literally done it for a professor's book. In my defense, I had to find articles relating to the same/similar materials as my professor was even if they weren't aiming to say the same or opposite things.

But this year, several of my books have seemed to speak to one another in various ways - obviously unintentionally or unknowingly.

The first thread is a pretty thin one. You Made a Fool out of Death with your Beauty has a prominent theme of grief and overcoming it. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek features a lot of grief, but more prominently, going into it as the protagonist loses a little boy she befriended, a regular client, and has several more major losses (even if not death exactly) throughout the book she has to figure out how to navigate. So that story is more of moving from the thread of coming out of grief and the later moving into it.

Then The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek spoke loudly to me in concert with Meru. I talked about it more in depth here before I'd gotten deep into Meru. The gist of it is that the protagonist of TBWOTC has a disability that would only really be considered a disability because of how society treats her as a result of genes that make her look different. This hinders her life at every turn, denying her opportunities. Meru sees its protagonist provided a huge opportunity and honor because of her particular disability. The other protagonist of Meru gets disabled partway through the book and is offered a chance to inhabit a new body entirely to get out of being disabled. Doing so would have used important time though and is denied without hesitation despite the disability having massive effects on what ze is capable of.

Meru is a sci fi set far into the distant future where one of the core beliefs of society is that all things, even inanimate things, deserve a certain level of dignity and worth. As a result, they are very careful about where they get resources and what affects their actions have on the environment around them. Though half the sentient beings live in space, even there permanent structures are very rare as such things affect the world around it and can get in the way of things nature orbit/state/etc. (This is why our protagonist with Leukemia is given her rare opportunity. The planet discovered has a higher level of oxygen, and humans are not allowed to terraform other planets out of respect for the planet. She is sent to see if she can live there with her genes being more likely to suit the planet than the planet needing to suit humans.)

I read then Watching the Tree, which is written by an Asian America who emigrated to the US from China. She is writing about philosophies and concepts Westerners might find value in considering or adopting or just hearing about. In it, she talks about Zen Buddhism, where everything is sacred. This had more of a focus on all life being sacred and spends a while talking about how varying levels of vegetarianism is common in China as a result of this belief saturating the culture, but she does mention that it includes even things like rocks and soil. Meru uses a heavily Indian (Sanskirt) culture as the dominant (at least human) culture, so it was neat to see the values in the sci fi fiction before then reading about a philosophy mentioned to stem directly from an Indian belief system (Buddhism. It became Zen Buddhism in China it appears). (The section on written language in China spoke heavily to the first book I read of 2023, Four Treasures of the Sky. I guess it should have been obvious to me, but I never thought about it, how Hanzi (I believe), a pictographic written language, is not at all phonetic and therefore Cantonese, Mandarin, etc can all use the same written language but not at all be the same. It absolutely makes sense that such characters would carry more weight.)

The Watching Tree also discusses some differences of languages between English and those spoken in China. Yen Mah mentions how our words are categorized nicely into things like nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. In her book, she mentions how just about any word in Cantonese (I believe that's the language she spoke growing up?) can take the place of any of those spots. A word that we would think of as a noun can take the place of a verb and vice versa. She also mentions how there is no 'to be' and that a line like "To be, or not to be" does not translate neatly between the two languages. It is more like to say 'to exist or not exist.' All of which I think Ocean Vuong may be trying to convey in On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous when writing dialogue for the protagonist's Vietnamese family members who do not know English. I can't say with any certainty whatsoever if Vietnamese languages follow these sort of semantics, but the dialogue often sounded broken to me as an English speaker even when it was clear they had to be speaking to each other in their native tongues. I could be misinterpreting, and maybe they were showing that they were speaking in English, but it's neat to think there was an attempt to focus the translations how they speak to each other as opposed to suiting an English speaking audience.

And I just finished On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous today! So I guess we'll see what the rest of the year brings me in terms of books that speak to each other! There may be a small seed already between the history of the characters in On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous as being products of the war in Vietnam and the politics being talked about in Last of the Romanovs, but if so, I can't quite articulate it yet!

It'll be an interesting reading year!
