okay, i give up. i'm calling it, time of death 11:02pm. i hereby officially unsubscribe from the l0tr newsletter. it's funny because whenever anyone asks me if i'm the type of person who always finishes a book even when i hate it, i'm like, "yes, except this one time i gave up on the fellowship otr after the first 50 pages when i was like 10." here we are decades later and i'm doing it again. and the best part is, i did actually successfully read this book and the other two in the series at some point in those intervening decades. i tried to read this book three times and only succeeded once. 33% hit rate, compared to my rate of 100% for every other book i have ever seriously tried to read. i really want to get it but i just don't. i'm giving myself permission to move on with my life. i'm not ashamed! i will say it since everyone else is too chicken apparently: some people find this seemingly universally beloved book series very boring and i am among their number!

#do i think they're bad books? that's the thing. i don't. i just don't personally like them #and i've decided not to waste any more of my time trying to like them. i put in the hours. it's not happening. #i tried to read them THREE SEPARATE TIMES. over the course of twenty-five years #which again is so funny. like how did 10yo me get it so right. how am i still so consistent on this one VERY specific metric #books #reading #my posts #it's a shame because people are SO into them so i do feel like i'm missing out :( but i have to live my truth 😔 #very happy for everyone who does not have this problem and either 1) happily loves the series or 2) does not care one way or the other #(also okay i do know what hereby means and i realize i have to actually unsubscribe. i can't just say it on here and hope that #the person running the newsletter happens to see this post i have deliberately censored so it won't show up #in the book or newsletter tags & removes me according only to my expressed wish in this post & without knowing my email address #don't worry. i know how this works) #(hereby is so fun to say but unfortunately my conscience won't let me use it here without this disclaimer #MISLEADING 'HEREBY' USAGE OCCURRING UNDER CONTROLLED CIRCUMSTANCES. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME) #(UNLESS YOU WANT TO I GUESS. I'M NOT THE BOSS OF YOU AND NEITHER IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE)

Me applying for an internship at the same organization for a 3rd time after getting rejected for the previous 2 application cycles

#this is kinda misleading i will admit lol #bc to be fair the 2 rejections were not ~consecutive~ application cycles #so the first time i applied i was a wee freshman with like no relevant experience #but the 2nd time i feel like i had a LOT more qualifications and they still didn't even give me the dignity of an interview 😔 #we'll see what happens this time around #p

[psalmsofpsychosis]

anyway if i had a nickel for everytime i started following after a sx/sp e4 strong Ti user like a lost lamb latching to a herding dog i'd have enough money to buy both Jon Luckovich and Cameron Monaghan yellow lollipops and thank them for their immense service to humanity as death obsessed freaks

#they're both filed under people that feel like home to me #my bones and their bones are made of the same cheap leftover birthday confetti #but also it's hilarious to listen to every single sx/sp e4 i've ever heard in interviews go #“from a very young age i've been obsessed with death and mortality'' yes babe we know. it is known xD #its why Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral planner all her life #but also the way sx/sp e4s are so sociable and charming is so misleading and unexpected #granted this whole list is Fe users and yes even SO blind Fe users comes off as more fiery and engaging than SO dom Fe blinds #but it was virtually impossible to tell with Cameron because Pe dom fucker has tertiary Fe and he KNOWS how to work it #putting Pe down for him because honest to go i still can't tell if he's a Ne dom or a Se dom. it can be hard to tell #between Ne doms' love for core principles and foundations and SO blinds' love to technical structural indepth clarity #so anyway. yeah i have a type 😔✌🏻

Chameleon, as your psychology professor pt.2

An: Here we go again... 😀 The way that I never anticipated that it would gain so much traction... 😶 I think I wrote this while I was visiting the Floptropica islands...

- A few months have passed, Rebecca had made you her favorite student to talk to 🤨 Your anxiety around her lessened, but it didn't mean that you didn't have it anymore. After the class, she would ask you to stay behind sometimes, making people suspicious between about your relationship with Rebecca... Like wdym stay behind class? 🤨🤨🤨 Are you secretly Rebecca's cousin? Or MAYBE you're her long lost younger sister??? 🤩🤩🤩 Do ya'll even look alike??? 🤔 This people smh... 😶 You and your professor talk about normal stuff, ranging from the how was the class to your anxious state, in which you happily reported to her that you weren't too anxious there days. Girlie is curing you slowly but surely by the power of ✨psychology✨ - Though, you started to suspect something about your professor, making it a little difficult for you to talk to her, because you recently found out about "Suspect R" from the news, and how eerily similar the descriptions were matching between her and the suspect... 😨😨😨 Sis, what is going awnnnn? 😫 Of course, your professor didn't miss the way how your behavior changed, causing her to chat with you one day, pocket watch in hand. Typical hypnotism, of course.. 😐 EXCEPT, it didn't work??? 😯 on YOU??? 🧐🧐🧐 POOKIE was confused, very confused. Like wdym it didn't work??? You're supposed to get hypnotized? 🙄 You unknowingly made things harder for her. 🤐🤐🤐 - After staring 👁👄👁 at the pocket watch just like she asked, you start asking her about how she came to this job. She answered that she knew a friend, and that friend recommended her to this university. You didn't buy it 😃 Sis, you were ON to something 🤫🤫🤫 You have a feeling that things weren't just this simple. In fact, it was TOO simple 🧐 that you decided to investigate like Scooby-doo 🍦🐕‍🦺 Sis didn't anticipate that. Maybe you should've just stayed, curious? 💀 Oh, she definitely COMING to get you, you think? 😔 Count your days pookie... 😰😰😰 After that, there was this... weird tension between the two of you whenever you talked with her. 😟 Pookie... Remember when I said I cannot keep giving ya'll plot armor...? Now is the correct time to rethink your decisions in life pooks 😿😿😿 I FEAR 😨 you are NOT coming out of this ALIVE ☠☠☠ - You decide to research more about "Suspect R", finding out more and more similarities between the two, you start to get more suspicious day by day... Even after two semesters have passed, you COULDN'T just shake the feeling that she was NOT who you thought she was... Meanwhile, Rebecca was STRUGGLING 😰 to get you to STOP from finding out more about her ✨mysterious✨ background like girl... Don't ruin the mystery 😩 You're making it harder for her to keep her job 🥺 Sis, I beg of you to STOP before she gets sniffed 🤧 out by local police force and co. 🛐🛐🛐 Pookie... What you didn't know Rebecca already had anticipated the arrest when she was at her clinic... So, when she disappeared suddenly, you kinda missed her??? 😔😔😔 Like wdym where your favorite professor was??? 😕 The way you searched 🔍🔍🔍 for her endlessly, asking teachers, students left ⬅and right ➡ The title was misleading guys, she ain't your professor no more 😶 - That it was so BAD, that it cured your anxiety ridden state, after initiating conversations yourself 😶 Congrats??? Years passed, and you finally graduated from the course, without signs, from your professor Rebecca... Sis was probably your roman empire... You went on with your life a bit, becoming MBCC's resident psychologist. Surprise, surprise, you're chief's cousin 🤪🤪🤪 so, your cuz personally recommended you to work at the MBCC as their psychologist, making you a menace for both sinners and Nightingale to watch out for 😈😈😈 Like wdym a sinner walked out crying from laughing too much??? Or adjutant Nightingale GIGGLING because of YOU 😔 Pookie, phone down rn... I just want to talk 😊 (Give me your humor rn)

- Chief was talking about an individual who kept going in and out of jail. She was an elusive individual, she sneaky in 5 year old terms 🐱‍👤 Sis had to explain to you like you were 5 since you asked her to translate in Spanish because your 5-month streak in the green bird app 🦉🟢 wasn't all for NOTHING 😇 Chief was NOT having it lmao, she made you TIMEOUT like you were 6 😭😭😭 Girl, don't try to play with Chief because she DON'T play, she's TIRED 😑 24/7. So sis hands you a file and pookie, you were in for a shock. REBECCA?? 👩‍🦰 As in the PROFESSOR REBECCA??? 👱‍♀️👱‍♀️👱‍♀️ Your psychology professor from before??? 😲😲😲 WHAT? 😰 Sis, turns out you WERE right about her. But like still, your psychology professor who disappeared mysteriously for 3 years suddenly showing up and suddenly came back with milk 🥛 on HAND... - Imagine her surprise seeing you walk right in for HER psychological evaluation... Babes was amused to see her student from before, became her psychologist... Like wow, the tables have turned. Okay then, sis she was like show me what you got 💅 Before you went straight down to business you were like "SISTER, where have you been???" Making her flabbergasted 😮 at the 360 personality switch, like was this the same student she was talking to from before??? 🤨🤨🤨 Girlie couldn't believe that you casually sat down and went on to say like "Sooo, this is where you've been 😊 babes where were you??? How'd you even get into prison? Okay like... I know you were doing something illegal and stuff like that but, still? They allow you to SLAY in prison uniforms??? 👠👠👠 Sister, you look SNATCHED with orange 🤩🤩🤩 - Sis was still recovering from the shock on how you basically went on a half-hour rant about how you got into the MBCC, and how you are chief's cousin, and like how you was SEARCHING for her because her favorite professor went missing... Wait. You considered her as your favorite professor? 🥰 Pookie was happy to hear that, but she needs to sit down first because she was too shocked to see the CHANGE in you that she forgor (intentional misspell 😌) to SIT down 🧍‍♀️

She was sitting in this SLAYING pose that you couldn't help but say "GIRL, What's with the..." Fingers snapping "Pose... It's giving... Office siren like yasss slay queen 💅💅💅" Again, your professor didn't expect the personality change like??? What happened when she was gone and what's with the slangs pooks...? 🤭 You had to explain what that meant and she was like "Thanks... Pookie?" Ooh the way we all giggled when miss maam attempted to use the slangs 🤭🤭🤭 Okay, after the interrogation you two became BESTIES 😌 Yes, you heard that right you two, besties.

There would be a couple of times where you guys end up collaborating or it's either you were assigned on a dispatch mission, yes you can also SERVE❗❗❗ The country 😾 You're giving FIERCE while she serves FACE the whole time, we all know that her face card never declinesss so, obviously you would drop a few comments like "Stop serving FACE, I'm getting distracted babes" And she's like "I need to keep SERVING pooks so we can stay alive 🥰🥰🥰" The way that you FOLDED when she was using the language of slaytology when you guys talk, like it's exclusive for YOU 🥺🥺🥺 Pookie... Wdym the Rebecca, talks to you in ✨slay✨ terminology??? 💅💅💅

Anyways, she asked you how you were able to resist her hypnotism before, and you just basically responded, my LASHES were too long from that time, and oh you wore CONTACTS? 🤨 How does that affect her hypnosis??? 😃 Sis, maybe it's genes that ran between you and chief... But you didn't know that.. 😶 An: I ran out of brain juice on how to proceed with the second installment because head empty, thoughts are FULL of air 💨 rn... *Goes mia for now, be back writing for the other stuff* TOODLES!

"so if eruri is triggering for you, I’d suggest you start filtering certain tags so you can curate the kind of experience you want here."

I guess you think I don't really filter them out, but you're wrong. Believe me, no matter how much I ban everything related to this ship, it comes up in every way. For example eruri shipper Levixreader writers. Even in the Hcs/fanfic's they write, they are in every way squeezing their own ship under the guise of "this is not ship discourse" and they write the dynamics of that ship under the name of 'levixreader' in order to show that their ship is canon. And you naively Rb'd them and think that Levi's character is really like that. He's a perpetually angry man, he's a cruel selfish man who hates the weak and who hates the weak and who immediately abandons you because he's weak, who puts his feelings for erbin ahead of his duties 🥺 who puts humanity through hell for erbin. but someone who is a dog and a softy for him and someone who threw S/o out of the window for him. Yes he loves S/o but he would even sacrifice S/o for the landlord whose dog he is 😔 But again keep saying "great Levi fic post 😭".

And that's what I'm talking about when I say don't let them manipulate you, because even one of your recent articles is similar to their writing style. I wouldn't be surprised if you soon write Levi as an ass upturned, bed whining, super fanon twink whiny lowlife sub. One of your Rb's in particular is a super delulu shipper levixreader writer, and they so much portray Levi as Erwin's lapdog, order dog, loyal dog, someone who never questions whatever action he takes, never wavers in his loyalty, that Cosmic finally had to write them a misleading reply that Levi is not like that Lmaoo. And they are egotistical and self-righteous enough to say "I know better than you" when they see criticism that contradicts their fanon thinking. Man its 2024 and fucking ackerbond has been debunked years ago and even Isayama's dusty old interviews deny it. Yeah, no matter how much I filter eruri, I see exactly that in both Levi tags and Levixreader tags 🙃 and now whenever I want to read fic or browse Levi posts, I have to look at them with hesitation and fear. I don't understand if I should filter Levi directly?

I'm so tired that I would love for Isayama to drop a bombshell that will disprove both the selfshippers and shippers and all their rhetoric, all their Hc's, and leave us all in a big disappointment. For example to give him a really random female partner. Or I would like him to write a characterization where he really doesn't care about everyone and throws them into the fire, where he thinks about himself and his life instead of thinking about them, where he focuses on himself, where he is truly selfish. Then we wouldn't have to see discourses, dramas and fights like "Levi cared about X the most" "He did this and that for X" "Levi doesn't have a canon ship, but if he did it would be X"

*sighs heavily*

I don’t know what to tell you, Anon. If my reblogging and my moots bring you so much distress, you are free to block me.

I refuse to get involved with ship discourse - that’s not what I’m here for.

But I will say this: the writing I do is xreader, but I love to read and view Levi in many forms - canon and AU, eruri, LeviHan, and everything in between. I’ll be sure to make that clear on my ‘About Me’ page.

I love my moots’ writing and art, and will continue to reblog anything that I find beautiful or pleasing to me. Because that, dear Anon, is why I am here.

Hiya!

I love this blog and just wanted to ask- do you know any advice on formatting and tagging for AO3?

Or just general etiquette!!

I'm not new to AO3 (reading or writing) but I haven't interacted with the actual community much and would love to know more :)

oof, I still feel like a newbie posting stuff on ao3, and tagging is something i've always struggled with. and actually formatting is also on ongoing issue 😅 so with that in mind, here's what i try to consider:

TAGGING

relationships -> tagging the main is obvious, but i'm sometimes torn about tagging side relationships that feature in the fic, especially since it's annoying to be searching for that pairing and get a bunch of results where they're not the main focus; unless the other pairing is a prominent feature, i leave it out of the relationship tags and at most add it to the additional tags

characters -> i remember updating the character tags on my early fics every time another character popped up in the story, but now i'm of the same mind as the side pairing issue; unless the character is prominently featured, i leave them out of the tags

content warning/advertising -> if i know the fic features an element that some people might wish to avoid, i always tag it and also always fret that i've forgotten to tag something in that regard. when it's more about advertising what's in the fic, especially sexual content, i sometimes feel silly listing every flavor of physical encounter unless the fic is pwp/smut (in which case i gleefully list all the depravity); i sometimes worry that over-emphasizing the sexual content in the tags is misleading? like of this 100k fic, if 15k is spent fucking, how do i get the tags to reflect that while also tag cw appropriately? is there an established tag for that?

sometimes i see fics with TONS of tags, like an exhausting amount, and sometimes i see fics with very minimal tags... sometimes frustratingly few. i also know some writers add chapter-specific warnings in the author's notes. in the end, so long as you're making it possible for people to find or avoid your fic as needed, then you're good. Here are some good posts that dive into it more!

(i remember when people on tumblr would scold writers for monologuing in the tags on ao3 like we do on here, claiming it was a strain on the system, but i believe that's been debunked?)

FORMATTING

i've noticed some MEGA annoying quirks with copy & pasting over from Google Docs and Word, and I know there are some tricks to get around them, but i tend to just slog through the Rich Text window fixing everything manually 🙃 OKAY I FOUND SOLUTIONS LINKED BELOW.

spacing problem #1 -> pet peeve of mine, but i dislike it when the paragraphs have massive spaces between them (ditto for indented paragraphs). idk why, but it's tiring for my eyes to constantly leap the chasm between paragraphs. so whenever i copy and paste from Word, which for some reason ALWAYS appears with double spacing between line breaks, i go in and manually fix it. SOLUTION

spacing problem #2 -> when copying over from Google Doc, whenever there's a punctuation mark following an italicized word, a random space appears between them. and yep, i have to go in and fix every one because typos make me twitch. (this might not be an issue for everyone; i overuse italics and dashes like it's my job) SOLUTION

spacing problem #3 -> again probably a me issue, but i tend to include song lyrics a lot, and it's always a headache to format because when pasting from the doc, ao3 embeds these spaces between the lines that i can't remove by backspacing. only fix i've found is to copy and paste lyrics directly from a website, and then it formats fine. random and annoying and weird. (no solution 😔)

since this section has just been me whining about finding SOLUTIONS for formatting issues, i'll offer one tip that's more about general editing: i try to proofread best i can in Word/GDocs, but it's always easier to spot errors when i'm reading the draft on my phone. the typos always jump out at me from a phone screen. it's now my favorite way to edit!

every writer has their own preferences on formatting, and every reader has their own level of tolerance for formatting quirks. in the end, so long as the formatting doesn't interfere with the reading experience, you're all good.

#god and don't even get me started on summaries #i'm so bad at writing summaries #and coming up with titles #just the worst #those tend to plague me more than tagging #but tagging can also be tricky #like i want to crowdsource it or have an outside perspective just list the stuff in need of tags for me #fandom culture #ao3 etiquette #ao3 tagging #ao3 formatting #writer things

[musette22]

I just spent the whole evening reading what I thought was a stucky fic (from the tags), but it ended up with Bucky with someone else, and a heartbroken Steve. It was an old fic, and the author had recieved a lot of comments from other readers who felt decieved, but they were dismissed with the argument that fic readers are spoiled with tags and should learn that a story like real life can be unpredictable. The author had originally set out to write stucky but changed their mind half way so the end pairing came out of nowhere and didn’t really make sense with the build up. I didn’t comment, but I’m sitting here asking myself if I’m wrong to be angry. Obviously writers invest a lot more time writing a fic than I do reading it, but it still was my whole evening wasted on the opposite of what I wanted. What was supposed to make me feel good made me feel like shit, and I obviously really wanted to avoid that. I have always trusted tags, but from now on I might have to skip to the end before reading to make sure. Am I entitled?

Oh darling, I am so sorry that happened to you 😔 That is so sad and disheartening, especially if you were looking for something that would make you feel good. I 100% percent understand that it made you feel frustrated and even a little angry, and no, I don't think you're entitled in this case. I do believe that tagging is a courtesy and not a duty, and I also believe everyone is allowed to write and post whatever they want, regardless of what other people may or may not want to read.

Having said that, though, I personally think that making sure that a story is appropriately tagged, at least for major triggers and pairings, is the decent thing to do. The author of this fic could have easily updated the tags to have them reflect the plot twist for any future readers, and in doing that, they could have prevented a lot of people being left disheartened or sad at the end of it. However much I want people to read my stories, I personally would not want someone to read my fic and be triggered or saddened by something it contained. In that case, I'd much rather they just skipped it and read something else.

The idea of almost intentionally disappointing my readers is so counterintuitive to me, because a huge reason why I personally read fic is to feel better, so that's what I hope to offer other people with my own fic too, you know? Of course, I know lots of people love angst and even unhappy endings, because they're cathartic or just because they make them feel things, and that's perfectly fine, too. But in that case, reading those kinds is fics is a choice - and if a fic isn't properly tagged or if it professes to be something that it's not, then a potential reader is not able to make an informed decision, and I think that's misleading and quite disrespectful of the audience. It's not a crime, but it's not very nice, is what I'm trying to say.

This author's argument about how readers should learn that stories, like life, can be unpredictable is mind-boggling to me as well, because hello, surely it can't be news to them that reading (especially fanfiction) serves as a much needed escape from real life for lots and lots of people. I'm sure there are some who read books with the purpose of being surprised or caught off guard, but I think they're a minority tbh. And again, that should be a choice. Long story short: I don't think you're wrong to be frustrated in this case, and while I'm glad to hear you didn't comment and rant at the author like some people would, if I were you, I would personally steer clear of them and their work in the future. Sending you hugs, lovely, and I hope you find something new to read that gives you everything you're looking for soon! ❤️

[lying facedown on the floor] so uh. I had a nightmare about Steven 😔

I have F/O nightmares almost every night since I was abused and I should be used to it by now, but this morning I had a nightmare about Steven and it was rly bad 😔 and the last time I had an F/O nightmare at this level, I couldn’t watch Drive for a month. I was so scared of Driver and it was killing me bc I loved him so much but I felt so unsafe with him. I finally got over it eventually, but Jesus it took a long time.

This particular nightmare was. oogh . I know it’s just a bad dream but it played on the canon events of the video/story, like… Steven used a woman to get to the Disney graphics awards ball, Steven probably slept with this woman. I rewatched the video to try to just, chill the fuck out a little bit but like. Did he use this woman? Yeah he did. Did they sleep together? How far did he go? Did he hurt her? They weren’t living together so maybe it wasn’t very serious. She lay next to him in his bed at one point and there’s a behind the scenes pic showing her face, showing it’s the same girl. But she’s fully clothed there but the way it’s shot could make it look like they’re sleeping together. Did he go so far as to sleep with her to mislead her into thinking he wanted a relationship so he could go to the graphics event?

Lol this is really stupid for me to feel sick about it and I hate that this is something I’m even stressed about. He isn’t real and the nightmare wasn’t real so who cares, right? Yet I’ve been up for the last two hours, my eyes burning just DYING to fall asleep and I cannot stop stressing about this bad dream I’ve had and I feel shaky. I don’t want to stress about this. If I didn’t go through all the shit I went through last year, I wouldn’t even care! I wouldn’t even be having nightmares in the first place, and even if I did, I’d brush it off. But I’m so. Scared. All the time and now I’m scared of Steven and I don’t want to be scared of him. I was super attached to him and he made me feel really comforted for a hot minute there

What the hell. Can my brain please give me a break. I love Steven so fucking much but now every time I think of him I get really jittery and like he’d hurt me. He was my safe space for what, one week? I got one week :’) just one week. Maybe I’ll shake it off eventually but I’m having a really hard time calming down from it

[nextinline-if]

A 100K WORDS IS SO IMPRESSIVE!!(my jaw is legit on the ground) like genuinely bravo 👏 👏 👏 to u and ik it's hard trying to convince urself that ur work is good becuz you feel like it isn't or that that isn't enough even if everyone and everything might prove otherwise (I have a tad but of impostor syndrome myself) but i just want you to know that ur writing is amazing and anything u will write will be absolutely great so dw so much because we all will Def appreciate anything u write <3(also Constantine Dimas✨ wow you made me a simp for that man😔it's shameful)

hope u have a good day/night <3

woah! I feel like I misunderstood the previous messages because I would have clarified that I haven't reached the 100k threshold yet for chapter 2! We are still in the 80k+ range! I should have been more clear that I believe it will be 100k by the time I'm finished. I don't want to mislead anyone on progress so I'm really sorry if I did!

now, all of that said, thank you for your kind words. There's one possible scene for Constantine in this chapter that makes me so happy so I'm looking forward to hopefully getting some reactions. I'm sorry to hear you suffer from imposter syndrome too but glad that we can band together and support each other!!

i really appreciate you!

Tickletober day 5: ghost tickles

This might be a bit misleading since there are no actual ghost tickles, just an incident with a ghost costume lol

Sorry for the clickbait 😔

Puka puka~☆

___________________________________________

Chiaki x Kanata (interpret as you wish)

Lee: Chiaki

Ler: Kanata

Warnings: Tickles

___________________________________________

As the leader of Ryussetai, Chiaki always tried to act fearless, but there was one thing that always scared him shitless, and that was ghosts. Unluckily for him, he and Kanata had been invited to a halloween party, and of course Kanata had decided to dress up as a ghost (‘cause it was easy and cheap lol), but he ended up scaring the Ryussei red and now he was currently cowering in his room in fear.

Kanata slowly opened the door to his room and just as he expected, Chiaki was hiding under the covers, shaking like a maracca. “Hey, I took the costume off, you can come out now” said the blue haired male in a soft tone. He couldn’t help but chuckle when Chiaki shook his head, clearly still too scared. Kanata approached him, taking a seat next to the shiverring male. “Do I need to force you out of there~?” Kanata asked in a teasy tone, but there was no reply from the other. Although he did hear a soft giggle come out from Chiaki. He took that as a sign to keep going and started to blindly poke at the brunnette’s torso through the sheets. “Poke poke poke~”.

“Pfft! Ehehehe! N-nohoho!” Chiaki squirmed as his grip on the sheets started to get loose. Kanata took the opportunity to yank them out of his hands, smiling down at the flustered leader.

“Much better, now… tickle tickle~” teased Ryussei blue as he wormed his fingers up and down Chiaki’s sides.

“Gah‼ D-dohon’t say thahahat!” whined out the brunnette while his arms came crashing down to protect his sides out of instinct.

“Don’t say what? Tickle tickle~?” Kanata giggled at the soft squeal that came out of his partner. Now opting to lightly scratch at his tummy.

“GYAH! AHAHAHAHA! B-BAD SPOHOHOT!” Chiaki screeched out as he threw his head back in laughter. He had his eyes squeezed fully shut and yet somehow blindly sought out Kanata’s wrists, but the other was able to easily avoid him.

“Oops sorry, is this better?” Kanata teasingly asked as he poked all over Chiaki’s stomach, occassionally aiming for his bellybutton. “Pokey poke poke~”

“Pfttahahahaha! S-stahahap sahahaying thahat!” Chiaki tried to curl on himself as he clutched his tummy, but that caused Kanata to start poking his sides up and down. “Eep! I-Ihit tihihickles‼”.

“Really?? I couldn’t tell~ Coochi coochi coo~” Kanata then moved his fingers to pinch and prod at Chiaki’s ribs, enjoying the squeaks and squeals that came out of him.

“Okahahay! N-no mohohore‼” Chiaki finally managed to get a hold of Kanata’s hands, causing him to stop tickling him. The brunnette sucked in as much air as he could, a genuine, dorky smile still plastered on his face.

“Feeling better now?” Kanata smiled when Chiaki nodded his head. He’ll definitely remember this the next time they get invited to a halloween party, no more ghost costumes.

my strange history with the evil within is that i was Unbelievably hype for the first game all those years ago like i checked for news & posts every single day & was convinced it was about to be the new silent hill-esque benchmark for horror gaming or whatever.

and then it came out and i eagerly fired up the first available playthrough on youtube and. idk. it was this almost immediate sad ant with bindle.jpg response. my interest just died in an instant and i clicked away having watched barely any of it.

and looking back i don't even remember what it was that did that specifically?? like did i just not know in advance how Action focused it would be? were the trailers or initial press misleading or was i just stupid? did i see that the main enemy type were basically zombies (snore) & checked out due to that...? i'm really not sure.

now having actually experienced them... i still think it's too bad how Action Hero-y they ended up being. first game could've used 50% more narrative & atmosphere and 50% less combat setpieces. the times when they turn into what feels like call of duty zombie mode or, in the 2nd one, this bland open world crafting bullshit, it's just. 😔 it ain't it, chief.

but these games do have a lot going for them. they look great, environmentally. the actual horror imagery they do have tends to be pretty striking. some genuinely interesting characters in the cast. a few surprisingly cool women, at least two maybe three tumblr sexyman villains (stefano >>> the rest for me), and there's no way i wouldn't have stanned joseph so hard in 2014 if only i'd stuck with it just a little longer which is kind of sad to think about... passed like a ship in the night...

kageliu (+ others) incorrect quotes bc i have nothing better to do

———

Kagekao: Liu, you love me, right?

Liu: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won’t like.

———

Kagekao: I like to play this game called nap roulette. I take a nap and don’t set an alarm. Will it be 20 min or 4 hours? Nobody knows. It’s risky and I like it.

———

Kagekao: *seductively takes off glasses*

Kagekao: Wow...

Liu: *blushes* Haha... what?

Kagekao: You're really fucking blurry.

———

Sadie: Everyone, calm down! We're grown-ups, let's deal with this like adults!

Kagekao: So, we're just going to wing it and hope for the best?

Sadie: Obviously. Now, Jeff, pass the shovel.

———

Sadie: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire??

Kagekao: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔

Liu: Why were you microwaving a lemon???

Kagekao: I read boiling lemons helps cover up up bad smells (I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges) but I didn't own any pots.

Jeff: Did you burn an orange too? How???

Kagekao: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔

———

Kagekao, sweating: Liu, there’s something I need to ask you-

Liu: Finally! You’re proposing!

Kagekao: How’d you know?

Liu: Kagekao, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.

Liu: I even picked it up once.

———

Sadie: Kagekao, is that legal?

Kagekao: When there's no cops around, anything's legal!

———

Liu: Jeff told me I was found in a KFC bucket next to a dumpster and I was rescued.

Sadie: You probably were.

Liu: Oh crap, maybe that's the reason why. Maybe my lackluster feelings towards their fried chicken is because subconsciously I'm reliving the trauma whenever I see their trademark bucket. My brain and cognitive dissonance won't let me completely lie to myself and say I hate their food, because fried chicken is great and I want some now, instead it just steers me away. Thank you for helping to guide me towards this epiphany, perhaps now the healing can begin.

———

Sadie: Did you ever have like a pet run away and find it or anything?

Kagekao: I had a lizard that I burnt.

———

Liu: Did you have to stab them?

Jeff: You weren’t there. You didn’t hear what they said to me.

Liu: What did they say?

Jeff: "What are you going to do, stab me?"

Liu: That’s fair.

———

Kagekao: If it’s any consolation, they got me here on a very misleading text message.

Liu: Technically, you are about to be screwed in the biology room.

———

Kagekao: Could you maybe just like… stab me… right in the gut. Just REALLY twist it in there. ‘Cause that honestly seems less painful than this conversation.

———

Kagekao: Why do you let me win when we race up the stairs? You’re the faster one.

Liu: Erm... it’s nice see your smile when you win!

*later*

Kagekao: They're probably just staring at my ass, aren't they.

Sadie: Yeah, probably.

———

Kagekao: I am an expert at identifying birds.

Jeff: Okay, what about those ones flying over there?

Kagekao: Yeah, they're all birds.

———

Kagekao: I'm very scary.

Sadie: You're about as scary as a wet kitten.

Kagekao: Wet kittens are cute, at least I've got that going for me.

Sadie: And small.

Kagekao:

Kagekao: ...Yeah, yeah. I guess.

———

Liu: All snacks are gone.

Kagekao: I AM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE?!

———

Kagekao, texting Sadie: I’m a theif.

Sadie: Thief.

Kagekao: Theif.

Sadie: I before E except after C.

Kagekao: Thceif.

Sadie: NO.

———

Liu: Do you care if I take the skin off this Furby?

Liu: I want to make him a god. Once he is free of his sinful flesh, he can begin a path towards enlightenment. He will take care of us.

Liu: I also want to softhack his circuits.

Kagekao: I literally could not care less but never say anything as frightening as that ever again.

———

Sadie: Are you this rude to everyone?!

Kagekao: Don't think you're special.

15 Questions for 15 Mutuals

I was tagged by the wonderful @dakotawritesif (check out their games!!) and forgot to check the notification until now because it’s been one of those weeks

1. Are you named after anyone?

No, my parents just happened to find my name in a book of old Welsh baby names, but I was almost named Nerys after Kira Nerys from Star Trek: Deep Space 9!

2. When was the last time you cried?

I don't cry very much, so I think the last time was a couple months ago?? My emotions were feeling really pent up, so to purposefully make myself cry, I put on the Smiths, laid face down on my bed, and sobbed. I honestly felt really really good afterwards, so I wish I could cry more often!

3. Do you have kids?

Nope, though I do regularly confuse people by referring to my cats as my twin sons. I do want to adopt kids from foster care someday though!

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Oh yeah definitely. Combine that with the fact that I tend to be very deadpan about most things and my regular voice sounds very sarcastic and I've uhhhhh accidentally mislead people a lot before.

5. What sports have you played?

I've played pick up games of most things, but formally I've done archery, horseback riding, and fencing, all of which I'm good at it, and cross country and swimming, both of which I was exceptionally slow at. I also almost joined varsity bowling in HS, but I couldn't make the time commitment because of marching band.

6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?

Probably just their general vibes?? Like do they seem kind, approachable, etc. Physically though, I definitely notice people's hair first.

7. Eye color?

Gray!

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Probably a mix of both? My favorite stories are ones where things get really dark and kind of fucked up, but because people care about each other and are willing to put in the effort to make things better, they manage to earn their happy ending.

9. Any special talents?

I'm not really sure what qualifies as a special talent, but I can fit my entire fist in my mouth?? I've also been told I have an unusually good memory, though I'm not sure that's really a talent.

10. Where were you born?

I was born in Ohio in the US (yes, I am corn boy 😔)

11. What are your hobbies?

I like reading and writing a lot, I play video games with my sister, I draw pretty regularly even though I'm not any good at it, and I really like going down random research rabbit holes!

12. Do you have any pets?

Yep, I have my two cats, Bingo and Bongo! They're a bonded pair from the same litter and absolutely act like human terrible twins. I also live with my sister and she has a cat too!

13. How tall are you?

5′4″!

14. Favorite subject in school?

It really depended on the year because despite loving learning, I hated school so much. I consistently liked band though and I had some good years in English and History! I also really liked my forensic science and neuropsychology classes even if the uhhhh teachers weren't amazing.

15. Dream job?

My dream job is becoming a xeno-anthropologist, but given that that's literally only possible in dreams, I would love to become some kind of storyteller (author, scriptwriter, game dev, etc) eventually!

Wanna know what “the stalker’s” accusations have been against Havekat? She is a TERF. Her current TERF blog is yiya-kwenye-indawo-ukuphambana (she keeps changing it to hide from the receipts. Now she’s appropriating Zulu culture as the name is in Xhosa and she is a white woman who does not speak the language). As a queer person I do NOT trust her to know my name or address for purchases. plantpest dot tumblr dot com/712669311244926976/the-thing-is-she-hasnt-denied-any-of-the

My first reaction to this was something along the lines of: ???? Cuz I'm not following Havekat and up until now, had no idea who she was.

So I went and did some research 'Cuz I've seen people use misleading message campaigns as a bullying tactic before (Sorry anon! But in this age of misinformation you've gotta be cautious eh?) And hoo boy what a rabbit hole.

Turns out I did actually reblog some of her art at one point, but there seems to be a bunch of conflicting info out there? It certainly does look like she *could* be a terf, and if she is that's very disappointing. 😔 But a terf reblogging her art doesn't neccesarily mean she agrees with them? I know I for one, don't scour through the blogs of every single person who reblogs from me to sleuth out their opinions on stuff.

I tried to find her alleged radfem blogs but none of them seem to currently exist. And on her art blog she seems to have recently denied the allegations, and claims that she's extremely left wing and pro LGBT+ And that all this drama is the result of a stalker trying to kick up trouble.

Soooo I'm cautiously suspicious but reluctant to whip out the ol' torch and pitchfork just yet. Cuz again, if she is a terf and just lying, that's not very fabulous of her. But I don't feel like I have enough clear facts to form a strong opinion and would hate to accidentally help a smear campaign against someone innocent. So unless I see some fairly concrete proof of any of these claims, I'm gonna stay cautiously neutral

So I read the first half of 2ha in 2 days and my reaction went from 

Wow! this looks interesting! to 

oh That guy is the ML and not the sweet bland sounding one! I’m even more interested now! to 

Damn the dynamic is so good I really love the teacher/student dynamic and imbalance in how the teacher is incredibly strong, also the hatred relationship lol esp in the ghost bride arc to 

Oh the ML has liked him all this time. Ok. Would you really love a kid romantically esp one so immature with no redeeming qualities I find that incredibly unrealistic to 

Bro the MC has liked his teacher all the time he just doesn’t recognise it ALSO he has fucked his teacher multiple times in the past that’s insane to

(The arcs start slowing down in quality after the teacher dies and they go thru a boring arc to get him back, a timeskip arc which is ok ig, and the most boring arc where they bring up the drama of an entirely different sect that I just have no interest in so idk what to put here)

So far the plot jumps from arc to arc with the style of ‘isolated problem appears, they fix it, move on to next problem’ without a very clear connection. For a while it felt fresh and new but after a while it gets stale. Maybe it has to do with the lack of descriptions of the fights, or how the resolution of the arcs most of the times end up being too quick and therefore unclear, from the Peach Blossom arc onwards. 

I knew a timeskip would occur from the very start bc age appropriate relationships bla bla but this one was really kinda flimsy if you think about it... I did like seeing the change of the MC though. Makes you think about how far he’s come and be proud at how much he’s changed. Also like how he reflects on his past years when he became mentally crazy and is shocked at the difference. 

I love the word play jokes a lot, but the Ji Ba joke especially made me laugh out loud for some time. Same for Jian Gui and Xia Si Ni. Wish they kept the MC’s sense of humour in the story but eh. Not everybody can be a Wei Wuxian 😔 Dude literally named his sword Sui Bian for the joke. 

I’m glad the author did decide to expand on the ML’s thoughts and feelings rather than keeping it onesided ‘show not tell’ situation though. It definitely helps tip the balance in favour of making me like the ship relationship. (Unlike the one in MDZS lmao who cares about that bland guy give me more Jiang Cheng). I like Xue Meng growing more and more to like Mo Ran (I just like the ‘brothers that dislike each other that repair their relationship over the years after much pain and suffering’ trope. Also Xue Meng is hilarious. 

As for Shi Mei, I legit felt bad for him bc 5 minutes after he was introduced I was hoping he wasn’t the ML because he was bland. I am Really Really hoping Shi Mei isn’t going to end up the yandere and possessive bad guy and will end up staying the nice and gentle cheerleader but so far I am already picking up bad signs. From the moment they mentioned the bad guy used water qi I knew Shi Mei was somehow going to be shafted as the bad guy so the Shi Mei/Mo Ran ship will die for sure instead of a first crush fading away kinda situation :’)

Is the story good? I guess. It was worth picking up to read. But if you asked me right now, if I would reread it again? No. 

Also, I have learnt not to read novelupdates reviews because they are full of people going ‘oH nOOO dOn’T rEAd tHiS MC iS a rapiSt das baaaad’ on literally every story, so what can I do now? And, can I say that 2ha’s full name of the husky and cat thing is very misleading and made me stay away from this book at first because I thought it was about a dog and cat that became humans? .....

Anyway I’m glad that Seven Seas is so far doing a good job of translating it and would def read Book 2 and until the teacher dies bc it’s not bad until then. Also the illustrations are pretty. Having to dig through multiple sources just to read the mess that is the unofficial translations is blergh. How did the fans even do it. How did they manage to put themselves through that torture. Why do shitty MTLs exist. Just. Why.

And one last question. If they can get an official translation for 2ha and MXTX books, SURELY they can get an official translation for Legend of Sun Knight. SURELY. 

But no one wants to read non-danmei books even though Legend of Sun Knight is superior to 2ha and MDZS in every way...

#troofless reads books #troofless stuff #THE REPRINTS ALREADY HAVE ILLUSTRATIONS!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN SEVEN SEAS!!! ALSO FIX YOUR SHITTY SERVAMP TRANSLATIONS!!!!!
