#I swear this book kills me

[swimmingclass1978]

What if reg was an animagi and he could turn into a duck.

Imagine walking down the hogwarts corridor and you see james and sirius being chased by a duck with a wand in its mouth.

Idk just something about fussy duck reg sitting on top of james' head quacking at everyone

Hey guys I think The Last Unicorn is such a Scott book

#Hate Jimmy's anatomy here. whatever. throws it at you guys anyway before I stress myself into offing myself #quote is from The Last Unicorn ofc!! I drew unicorn scott and then me and my friend went insane about the book + Scott's character #flower husbands #scott smajor fanart #trafficshipping #trafficblr #need to reread that book desperately #so many moments and quotes I remember from it are SO Scott guys. I swear to god #it being a book all about this unicorn who is turned into a human and thus starts experiencing emotion. and flaw and love and and #and the unicorn is stressing but realizes that even if she were turned back into a unicorn. She has already felt. She no longer belongs #And I view Scott's character as tending to deny himself those kinds of feelings as if they were a weakness. As if they'd get in the way #He allowed himself to love and be loved in LL and then never again. Turned around and ostracized Pearl. Sorry going insane #and then ofc this quote made me think of Jimmy. I cannot get into my reasoning here though I will either die or get killed #tubby art

So I'm re reading six of crows for the millionth time, and I just wanted to share Matthias's first impressions of the crows (not including nina because shes already met him but if you want me too I can) because I can't stop laughing. This guy has no chill. And I know these are here for our benefit too to give us more description for the crows.

-

Kaz: - "Gravelly voice" "Dark eyes" "pale demon with his black-gloved hands"

Inej: "small girl" "dark hair" "deep bronze suli skin"

Jesper: "long limbed boy" "bony knees" "deep brown zemeni skin and incongruous grey eyes. "He was built like a stork" 😭

Wylan: "Ruddy gold curls." "He's about twelve"

#he has no chill i swear #this guy #also with nina half the time he just wants to kill her in his pov #six of crows #six of crows spin off #six of crows duology #crooked kingdom #matthias helvar #nina zenok #nina zenik #book kaz brekker #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #wylan van eck #jesper llewellyn fahey #jesper fahey #i did this on tumblr mobile #it makes me want to die

Yassen "not sentimental" Gregorovich, who drinks grenadine because Hunter introduced him to it, who threw away his grandfather's watch because Hunter told him to, who tried to prove he was a killer because he thought Hunter wanted him to be, who was happy about the scar Hunter gave him when saving his life, who wouldn't kill Alex because he is Hunter's son, because Hunter, because Hunter, because Hunter. But sure, Yassen, you're not sentimental. We totally believe you.

#chaotic ramblings #I'm gonna start tagging these as #coster #john rider #alex rider #yassen gregorovich #russian roulette #eagle strike #kinda? #anyways reading rr rn and “i drink it to this day” punched me in the gut #bro swears off all habits apart from the ones hunter gave him #and he swears off habits BECAUSE of hunter #like for the most part he's the perfect assassin but his one weakness (after he got over not being able to kill) was John #i wonder if that's going to end up being used against him #(I'm not finished with the book yet)

One thing I will never understand is how confident dumb people are.

#rita talks to herself #swear to god #i will never understand how people on any social media get theories from their ass and post it like it's a fact #i literally have to overthink for a month before posting anything #(this is an accumulation of moments but...) #i was just on twitter and someone was talking about a dark romance book (???) where a woman kills her kids bc they got more attention from #her husband (their dad) than her #and someone really said: that is literally medea #NO IT IS FUCKING NOT #PLEASE #GOOGLE IS FREE #PLS YOU ARE MAKING ME HAVE A MOMENT HERE #not the greek tragedy i have analyzed for uni 100 times get anything wrong but that

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/

#like okay i get it skk is the most popular bsd ship by a longshot #but it does kinda suck that my skk fics will always end up being more popular than literally anything else i write for bsd #when i have way better fics tbh #okay i'm unleashing this from my drafts lol #like i get it kudos/hits/bookmarks counts aren't telling of how good a fic is #but out of my last five fics. my skk one has ONE HUNDRED kudos more than the next most kudos #and idk it also sucks that i know my skk is better than 90% of the fandom but. even my skk fics get significantly less kudos/etc #than big writers in the fandom who AREN'T EVEN GOOD #or are like. mid at best #i know in theory that the bsd fandom doesn't care about characterization but like. not only do they encourage bad characterization #it feels like sometimes they're actively against good characterization #even in j.jk and a.tla where there are major issues with bad characterization #more people seem to at least appreciate the good characterization. (even if they aren't good at it themselves.) #but i swear to god no one in the bsd fandom cares about anything besides whether dazai and chuuya are kissing. it begins and ends there. #it never ceases to amaze me (derogatory) how a fandom where the source media draws So Much inspiration from classic literature #can somehow have NEGATIVE media literacy skills #why don't you guys take a break from your edgy dazai x softboy chuuya fics and you fems.kk with dazai in skimpy clothes and your #beast chuuya sobbing and killing himself over dazai's death #and go read some of the books by the actual authors. and then write me an essay about the themes that has nothing to do with shipping. #and THEN you can come back to the fandom. #listen i love skk but oh my god sometimes the fandom makes me hate them. #anyway one of these days i'm going to get anon hate for complaining about the bsd fandom so much but that's fine #at least i know there are characters in the show besides dazai and chuuya. and when i do write skk AT LEAST I DO IT RIGHT. #hello grace here

literally the best part of this whole stupid book iwlove weird obsessed horndogs thee villain archetype of all time. he’s so silly. “we could’ve had a life together”, he says to his lesbian ex-neighbour who he’s just shot with a crossbow bolt meanwhile her girlfriend who he’s also just shot is half dead across the room. god i love it here he said me and the bad bitch im going to fumble

#WHAT A FUCKING FREAK IJBOL!!!!!! #MORE PSYCHOSEXUALLY OBSESSED WEIRDO VILLAINS PIXELBERRY I KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN U. #their villains are usually so cringe and one note at least this one is memorable #mind you this could have used more buildup. up until like chapter 19 he still had the benefit of the doubt #his ass was NOT beating the twist villain allegations but the fucking freak allegations were a whole separate beast #and he could be presumed innocent in those. like sure i guess these are just average fanatic werewolf hunter antics. #like EYE had my suspicions. him sending that frat bro to sexually harass mc was a fucking freak move #but like in general he was coming off as someone who was just a normal amount of concerned about a friend of theirs falling in w a cult #like girl why am i following my cringe fwb into the pool house to be all ‘babe this isnt u :(’ #i dont CARE i wanna go engage with the twist antagonist who at this point my mc still thinks is kind of normal/their friend!!! #but alas that’s just pb for you. we WILL NOT stick a landing ever. they make all the new writers swear to never write a villain that makes #sense or is well foreshadowed. ONLY side characters who you would never suspect bc they have like 5 lines in the whole book. #like you’ll never be duffy veilofsecrets you’ll never recapture that magic. #anyway. markus choicesalpha the fucking weirdo cringefail stalker incel loser you could have been…kermit looking out rainy window dot png #maeve speaks #playchoices #choices #pixelberry #choices alpha #channing lowe #markus barnes #side note this whole thing probably has a Much different vibe with a male mc #but as it is it’s like ijbol. channing is cringe and emotionally unavailable but how could you POSSIBLY compare to a buff werewolf bitch #he is so completely not a contender that its comedic to me. you think WE could have had a LIFE TOGETHER? #even if my mc had never ever met channing SHE IS A LESBIAN!!!! SHES GAY DUDE STOP IT LOL #and with a female mc and male channing its like yeah whatever average incel number 10 billion. wow youre going to kill me bc some other guy #is hotter than you? eyeroll. at least channing canonically gives great head.

While I'm getting torn in 3 ways, have a headcanon! Nakajima likes plants they're the only living organisms he doesn't find annoying aside from Yumiko and Cerberus

Yeah, this is canon. Who do you think takes care of that plant? His mom who's barely home? His dad in LA?

#i swear there were more plants but whatever. point still stands #obligated to mention the rubber duckie-programmer joke #tho i guess it would be wood duckie here? #either way he read like 2 books on boring train rides to school about plants and no one can convince me otherwise #also heyyyy i barely drew this week again :DDDD kill me #smt #megaten #shin megami tensei #my art #megami tensei #digital devil story #akemi nakajima

tfw a song is almost perfect for writing purposes but doesn't quite match the precise tone of the current section so you have to sit there and decide what the precise tone even is and then figure out what fuckin song to listen to.

#megs is writing #I mean. kind of. ugggggh #I swear to GOD the middle section of this book is truly trying to kill me #I have to get through like. three more sections. that's IT. and then I can write the final two which are way more plot heavy #and ALSO I'm second guessing my weird formatting mechanism. UGGGGH #also for the record the song is 'my love is a loneliness' by san fermin which just came out and slaps

[swimmingclass1978]

Guys so there's some important matter we need to talk about.

We all love the black brothers, most of us like jegulus and (at least i hope) all of us is against drugs. So theres this fic. I've just read. Lets just say the panic attack was hard after finishing.

"love, stars & reasons we don't keep in touch" by moonysbookshelf.

Read for your own risk really. But like i almost NEVER cry in fanfics. Yet i only cry when lovers are separated or best friends or like people who are special to eachother in some way. Lets just say you know reg dies. Well i didn't knew how he will die so this was like 10x more triggering.

Yeah anyway bcz of this i passed my cry of the day 🥰 marauders fandom everybody🏆🏆🏆

Nine Five people you'd like to know better

Tagged by @thana-topsy Hi lol 👋 wasn't expecting this (/lh)

[3 Ships]

1) Celann and Charlotte. (holding them in my hands) my babies. I love they

2) I'll honestly just put it out there, Chriscariot. That album rewired my brain. The absolute gay yearning. Did you guys know about the Gospel of Judas. I've been so normal on Tumblr. Not in real life. Not in the slightest. Bible fandom has some fun stuff

3) the Mo/Resa/Dustfinger/Roxanne polycule. I am correct.

[First Ship]

I actually think that's gonna have to be Zuko/Sokka. Except I was unaware of what shipping was at the time because I was young and offline. I did think they should go out tho.

[Last Song]

Funeral Derangements (Ice Nine Kills.) Honestly surprised it wasn't something off the Judas album

[Currently Reading]

Inkheart. Again. Yes I finished the series and turned right around and started it again. I did finish The man Born to be King last night tho. Haven't seen the original JCS but yeah. That Judas and 2012 Arena Tour Judas 🤝

[Last Film]

..... Highlander.... I caught a glimpse of it a while ago and there was this cunty old man. I immediately called Bread over and well. There was not as much of him in the film as we hoped. What did we watch (hello??? Plot??? Please???) That goth guy was having the time of his life tho honestly good for him. What a bizarre experience.

[Currently Craving]

The arrival of the books I ordered. I'm gonna be so real. I am so impatient for them to arrive. Even ignoring the fact that Mortimer (my darling little blue jay plush) is being shipped to God knows where (it's Rhode Island. I feel it in my bones that for some reason another package has been redirected to Rhode Island.) Other than that, uh... draw juice. Would like to draw thing

[yoonyia]

my humanity in a book series now that I actually think about the premise is so weird.

the original concept is just to prove that all of humanity's pain and suffering and joys and gifts can be shown in just a few books, that a lot of our struggles are shared and a lot are unique but that they're all inherently human.

no matter what experience you go through it's going to be a human experience because you are a human, and no matter how isolated and alone or exiled you feel the rest of humanity you are still infact human and take that part of you everywhere

you will always be a step in some direction of humanity no matter what that deed is

it's not meant to be read as comforting, in all honesty most of the characters find the idea of never not being human to be sort of disturbing. But that's a part of the human experience too. To look at humanity and say "man we suck"

But now I'm looking at it and it's more then that

the book is set in the 32nd century

although because of my lack of imagination I can't think of what the language would be like I did haphazardly put together a culture that I personally felt like matched the common trend of development in humanity

everyone is given a livable space, concept of currency really isn't a thing (but that's less on humanity and just because the space colony is made up of roughly 10,000 people and trade is impossible, there's more reasons too but I won't get into them at this moment) and in all honesty the society is fundamentally different then most societies on earth.

It's what you would call a utopia but it's such an obvious system that no body even considers it good. They talk only about the unfairness of the council members and the inhuman layout the colony is built on to make it relatively fair between all people. (I say fair not equal because they do take children, occupation and just size of person into account, which yes is a nightmare for everyone invloved)

but I dont know if you see it but there's a disconnect

they don't value the things we value, they don't have the same desires the same ambitions the same secret indulges, many conflicts are the same as they are now but they have a completely different context, different reactions from people, different tones and no real recognizable side we usually see in modern debates.

it's worse then if it were completely different conflicts, then you could just do some narrative translation and make it based off of the modern lense but you can't do that because it's the same conflict. ofcourse it's not to a point where your brain thinks "I can't compherehend this at all" but actually that makes it worse, because it is compherehensible it just isn't common

it's a story trying to tell you that all human experiences are inherently human but it's showing you a humanity that you can't really quite connect with

things you think are basic desires exist but they're not considered the core things that makes someone human, there's something alien about these people that you can't really agree with the actions they take and can't make sense of the movements and words they make.

800 years is a long time and I wanted to show it but I made a story that's inherently ironic

it still fits the original theme, it might fit it even better since it's telling you no matter how much humanity changes its still going to be humanity

but I left my audience behind, I alienated them to show them that they are human, that despite the alienation they're still apart of this society that they're reading about that dosent feel quite right

it's a weird thing to do

I really thought this book was going to be simple to write but I'm already adding layers and I don't think I'm going to stop

and also the science aspect behind this story excites me so much

I'm no biology major so half the stuff I come up with for the alien planet's are probably going to be impossible but it's fun to write about

espicially the plants, I found the heat regulated Lilly pads to be really fun to think up of

also fox like creatures that glow under uv light, gosh that took so much research

they're adorable by human standards but they are deathly venomous so please don't pet them

this series isn't even the only one in this universe

there's a second story that I suddenly forgot the name of but it's something like 'Colony 1, Brother Lutangalo' or something similar.

oh and if you haven't noticed yes these books are heavily inspired by the enderverse and I just wanted to go more indepth into the parts of the books that was largely left unexplored. So this series is also inspired by the shadow series, so the humanity in a book is more morality, conceptual and personal in nature the col1 brother lutangalo books are more political and more grounded in the main society (the 2 main characters are sent to set up a colony on a different planet so they aren't really on the main colony themselves) the main narrator being lutangalo which is the son of the 108 year old colony leader Lau. (this society also has a euthanization law that all people over the age of 100 by law must die to prevent over population, but religious leaders are protected so they can live pass 100 indefinitely) and is currently 8 when you first meet him. Actually his books don't start until he's 12, we meet him when he's 8 because that's the year the 2 main characters comes back

his books, and I'm calling them his books because this series is heavily centered on the one character rather then the humanity series which is forced to jump between people in different time and space to get the message across because the 2 main characters litterally don't react to anyone else but eachother for the majority of book one, all of book 2 and half of book 3 (at least that's what my planning says but it may change when I get to writing the drafts)

anyways his books are very focused on the family that he's apart of and how they affect the colony, it also focuses on the personal perspective of this one kid which is honestly the closet thing the readers get to a instinctually relatable character, he has all the impulses and needs a person of the current age would have, because he basically lived in the 21st century because of his obsessive need to research about Mr ari who is notoriously a history nerd.

so you're finally getting a person that lives and breathes in the same patterns as you do.

and he's so miserable

he is one of the most troubled, impulsive people you have ever met

but also the calmest and kindest and gentlest person at the same time

he's a horrible liar until he isn't, he's intelligent and self aware until he's shockingly oblivious

just a ball of horrible contradictions that feels way too unstable and flipfloppy to be consistently relatable

yes of course in several moments you will exclaim "ha, he's just like me!" but it's going to be rather hard to admit that all of his experiences and actions are relatable or even compherehensible

unlike the first series it's not justifiable in any rational way

it's messy, it's complicated, it's convoluted and he's honestly awful in some scenes

but thats human too

#i have this weird thing of trying to write a simple story then making it wayyyyyyy too complicated #THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT A DRUNKARD WHO LEARNS TO GET OVER HIS ADDICTION BY GOING ON A SPACE TRIP WHERE HE CANT DRINK ALCOHOL #AND WHEN HE COMES BACK THE PERSON HE WAS ON THE SPACE TRIP IS LIKE “NO SIR YOU ARE NOT DRINKING MORE” #THEN IT BECAME SO COMPLICATED #also fun thing (?) is that you never get to meet lutangalos mother in his books but she gets an entire chapter to herself in the humanity #series #her name is caroline and yes she was the lady i was gushing about #i often fall in love with the characters i write #fall in love from an aro ace perspective is weird but it basically means im devoted to them? #for me it was less platonic and more spiritual #but then again internally my love for my friends do appear more worshippy then friends but alas thats a different issue #i really love this story and how indepth it is but also hate it because it takes up so much brain storage and im afriad ill forget stuff #its not even very high on my priorities #its below fixem which isnt even a story i really enjoy #dnd is my priority honestly #endersgame #inspired books are really cool but i never saw one that focused on the thousands of years in the future bit #i want to die #but i must write #i swear if i die before i finish my dnd campaign im going to kill everyone
