#I'm a parody of myself

[beaft]

2023 is proving to be a startlingly good year for reading (i've been averaging about a book every couple of days, somehow), so i went shopping and got a tiny bit carried away, which i should feel bad about but don't because look at all the exciting new books (titles/authors are listed in the image desc. for anyone who can't make them out)

#the only things i get really excited about buying these days are books and tea #i'm a parody of myself #be shh now

[not100bees]

i’m not posting about dracula daily because unlike some people if i want to read a book i don’t need weird gimmicks to get me into it

my problem is that I post exactly like how someone with the url "annabelle--cane" would post and this makes me extremely easy to make fun of online

Sorry About The Spider-Man Acronyms: A Guide for the anon @hawkogurl got, or anyone else who needs it. This is only a small selection of Spidey media, but it's the ones that are commonly referred to in shorthand like this.

TASM, TASM2: The Amazing Spider Man movies directed by Marc Webb, starring Andrew Garfield.

MCU: The Marvel Cinematic Universe.

ITSV, ATSV, BTSV: Into, Across, and Beyond The Spider-Verse animated movies.

TV shows:

TNAS: Spider-Man The New Animated Series (2003). People mostly forget this one exists.

TSSM: The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008). Sometimes written as SSM.

Other random acronyms you'll see:

OMD: One More Day, the name for the 2007 story arc which broke up Peter & MJ's marriage, among other changes.

BND: Brand New Day, the comic arc immediately after OMD. OMD/BND are really two halves of the same whole, so you'll see people use them interchangeably.

KLH: The Kraven's Last Hunt storyline.

TCW: The Child Within storyline.

JMD: J. M. DeMatteis, a comic writer who did both Kraven's Last Hunt and The Child Within.

I hope this helps and, uh, good luck.

sword, would you wear this dress? i was doing some looking and thought it would be a good style for you, swordfighters tend to have really defined shoulders after all

lol we sure went from "wow that's funny I developed such a strong hyperfixation on ganondorf out of the blue I mean sure I liked him a lot when I was young and I even played him in home movies when I was 13 and all that (actually true, this happened twice u_u) but he's not that close to the kind of character I usually relate to" to "uuuuuuuuuuuhhaaaaauwwwwwhnnnnnn" real fucking quick here gang didn't we :) :)

#thoughts #shitpost #ganondorf #u___u #I am such a predictible fool #mentally ill man plagued by Gender + alienation + unchecked god complex perpetually foiled and humiliated yet persevering to the bitter end #is like #in terms of my personal character bingo it's honestly embarassing how peak he is #I'm such a constant walking parody of myself it should probably be against the law #there's so much about him that is sooooo hahaha eyyyoooooooooo #the somehow??? always surprising pipeline of “haha funky guy” to “I have been looking at the ceiling for 3 hours” striking yet again.......

Thank you for sharing your amazing stories, I love your fic...you are such a phenomenal writer! Can you talk about your writing process? What is your favorite/least favorite things to write (e.g. dialogue/plot/atmosphere, etc.)?

hi! this is so nice of you to say, thank you! ❤️

my fic process broadly looks like:

say i’m not going to write a fic yet

then have an idea (usually by accident, “haha wouldn’t it be fun if—”)

talk about the idea until it begins to take an actual shape and i go oh man. this is a whole fic isn’t it. oh no

“this will be a fun, short idea” [is not that]

(for shorter fics i can actually keep the plot tight, depending on how strict the parameters are, but every time it’s “just a fun concept” that i can run free with i get way plottier than i intended and i’ve accepted that by now. it’s why i can’t just go write every idea i have even if i wanted to.)

broad messy outline in a gdoc, including any dialogue snippets i think of as i go.

i’m a fast plotter but a slow writer, so from there i start drafting, roughly in chronological order because that works best for my brain, though sometimes i jump around to rough draft later parts.

first draft goes out to friends who read, comment, catch some errors, and delete many of the abundant first draft commas and em dashes. (this is functionally beta-ing but by people who know every thought i've ever had.)

post! and on to the next chapter/story.

a very important part of my creative process is having friends who are just as enthusiastic about the concept/characters as i am, so shoutout to those people for being the main reason i get any actual writing done. what is fandom if not wanting to feed your friends to the point of creation!

my favorite thing to write varies depending on what world/characters i’m working with, but usually dialogue comes easiest/is most fun to plan out! i often have whole convos planned out dialogue-only and then i fill in the actual action once i get there. and my least favorite thing is probably…very specific, but describing characters’ outfits? unless it’s immediately action-relevant i always have to go back and remember to work that in as part of general scene description, if i remember at all. the outfits are in my head, i just usually feel clunky describing them on the page!

#looking at the 2-minute time difference between 'i'm waiting for the right idea' and 'okay i did have this one thought...' #i'm a parody of myself! #thank you again for this ask it was fun to go back and find the inception of my current fic #my fic #asks

why am i so tempted to actually try to write the flf vampire au now

#i have zero experience writing fanfic #but oh well #also this will not be solely based on twilight if it happens #and twilight obviously has a lot of issues #it's just a pretty defining book of its genre and the one i'm the most familiar with #any twilight references are going to just be parody i think #however i will likely be reading all of them #especially the genderbent one #why am i doing this to myself oh god #if anyone has any other early 2000s (or early 2000s in spirit) vampire romance that would be a good reference for this please let me know #the only other thing i can think of right now is crave by tracy wolff #also this might not actually end up happening #flf vampire au #i wonder if chloe gong has seen any of the vampire posts #terrifying idea. anyway.

thoughts on the current "snug as a bug in a rug" economy?

Far too many people being cozy in bed. They should be doing something productive with their time, like donating to Joe Biden's presidential campaign or sending hatemail to the creators of indie cartoons. Or anything, other than sitting on their asses. I mean, you really only need five or six hours a night-- beds are for sleeping, and that's where your blankets should stay.

#out of character ask game #i'm just doing parody of myself now i think

I can't go five minutes in DW fandom without people being just atrociously mean about things that I love with the blissful unawareness of majority mainstream opinion holders that the people they're being mean about are like. In the space with them. And this in a space full of ardent fans of arguably some of the most esoteric obscure side stuff that everyone else disdains or doesn't even know. And I'm having fun for the most part but also like. It's just exhausting, constantly goddamn exhausting.

#this is about moffat and eleven #in case that wasn't clear #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace #i'm not gonna say that Lawrence Miles in particular doesn't have every reason to hate Moffat #or that as an EDA fan first and foremost I don't also side eye the fuck out of a lot of his early arc plots #but Moffat wrote *characters* in a way that no one before or since does #everyone droning on about rtd found family has nothing on 11 and 12 era character relationships #also yeah it is genuinely annoying and upsetting that people are STILL going on and on and on and on about ~bad vibes~ ~misogyny~ whatever #like that's just your opinion man #and I think certain fans would genuinely be shocked to actually acknowledge that some people just straight up disagree with them #and straight up have a different experience with that era of the show #and don't share the opinions that got so saturated with so little pushback that the arguments are by now parodies of themselves #like do you hate eleven's era because you formed that opinion yourself or do you hate eleven's run because hbomb made a video? #do you feel the way you feel because you came to that opinion or because others in fandom 'warned' you about moffat before you started? #also like ngl it just straight up hurts my feelings #it's mean! it's just really mean and I'm tired of getting my feelings hurt in situations that are meant to be fun! #I lived through this ten years ago when I'd watch Dr Who and then get on the internet to talk about it #and every post would be just endless bad faith nitpicking and tearing the episode apart #anyway gonna watch power of the daleks now and remind myself not to engage w nuwho fandom

there is something so silly about something happening in your life that can easily be related to a song you already know bc you'll be sitting there getting your heart broken and a little voice in the back of your head will be like 'lol this is just like that one taylor swift song tho'
