#and I was like ehhh I am not that good

[save-the-villainous-cat]

Studying biology is so fun. Like, no sarcasm, it’s just fun because Zoology includes anatomy and medicine and now I have to study bones and the nervous system and just the whole human body.

And like…this knowledge is so good for writing whump -.-

Also having a mom who’s a doctor is good for writing whump.

#I was calling my mom earlier today and she was like oh yeah I have a book for med students about Latin phrases #and Latin vocabulary and I think you could need this #and because youre very good with languages #and I was like ehhh I am not that good #and she was like yes you are that good #and honestly I almost cried -.- #no writing #getting validation from your parents just hits different #dumbass evolutionary trait

went through all of your three fics and omfggggg they're by far the best topgun fanfics out there. no contest. are you still posting here? cuz i have a small question. If your maverick grew up in texas, wouldn't he have a southern accent? does he repress it? has ice ever heard him speak southern?

not the same thing

#to be fair: I have not ever stepped foot in Texas (I am a coastal liberal Elite). so im making this up. #but I have met many ppl from Dallas and they sound like me (Californian/hollywood “American” accent) #maverick is from Dallas because: #1. Dallas patch on his g-1 flight jacket (this is the most conclusive evidence imo) #2. Dallas Mavericks basketball team #3. tom cruise's p-51d/f-6k was originally built in dallas which is good metaphorically #I feel like there was a fourth reason at some point but I forgor 💀 #the weed smoking scene is the most poser thing I've ever written and I've written a lot of poser shit #makes me fuckin laughhhhh to read it again omfg #written before I remembered that active duty personnel have to take drug tests periodically #thats what being the base captain is good for!

Re: analysing Ryan: he's the "love to hate" character in the best possible way (for me, at least). So far he comes across as the most competent in his family and it makes him such a great antagonist; like, his mother is fixated on superficial details(whether Onyx acts graceful or not) over matter(whether he completes tasks or not) and his brother is basically a rich kid bully: the moment he realises he's on equal footing with someone or that confrontation may not end in his favour, Cadran folds like a wet newspaper(at least that's the vibe I'm getting so far). So far, Ryan feels like someone who would be just as functional out of the lap of luxury as he is in one; he can work(or quickly learn to work) his way if not back into lap of luxury, then to being seen as(mostly) a reasonable authority figure position and resources that come with this - and this is what makes him terrifying in a very grounded way (unlike his brother or mother, who seem more set in their ways as rich assholes). Also, we already have indirect proof of Ryan's competence as a whumper - Onyx's behaviour. He's the guy who conditioned him to behave as the perfect servant and supressed Onyx's memories of whatever life he had before serving the royal family. Ryan is ruthless and competent, and this is a very scary combo when established through his actions (as opposed to establishing it through narration - "show, don't tell" at its best). He's not unlikable just because its a genre convention, you written him as a genuinely scary antagonist, and I love this so much i struggle to put it into words. I want to hit him with a chair but I also want to see what schemes he's up to😈😈 also, I love the "every time I write Ryan, he thinks its okay to monologue" tags - he is the antagonist who earned his right to monologue. He's very pragmatic in his vileness(at least so far; based on your tags, he has some major trouble coming his way), and I really like the way it plays out in the story so far.

Tl;dr: I love the way you edit and write those characters so freaking much :3 :3

OH MY GOD. HI. OKAY. THIS ASK HAS MADE MY WHOLE WEEK. I HAVE REREAD THIS ASK LIKE FOUR TIMES JUST GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET.

I feel like you know these characters even better than I do, which is maybe a sign that I've done well writing them but also kind of intimidating?? but yeah. let's talk about Ryan.

The first time I tried to write this story was about a year and a half ago. I stopped for a few different reasons, but I still wanted to rewrite it on my new blog. And when I was rereading my old work, one of the things I got frustrated with was that I was excited to write multiple whumpers, but all of the whumpers sort of blended together. They didn't have any personality, if that makes sense? They were just a bunch of people who wanted to torture a guy. Which is fine but I really wanted them to be more individual, so that's when I started assigning them actual motivations.

And yeah, you pretty much nailed their main motivations. Lucia (the queen—I don't think I've ever mentioned her name but it's Lucia) is very superficial because she is very driven by how she thinks other people see her (she thinks that holding onto the title of royalty is more about popularity than anything else) and it reflects in the way she sees other people, especially the ones who work for her. Cardan is driven by entertainment because he thinks he can get away with anything (hence the surprised folding like a wet newspaper anytime something doesn't go his way). Ryan, on the other hand, is driven by something like productivity? He also sees himself as the most competent person in the family.

I've honestly never considered how well Ryan would do in, like, a job that didn't already come with authority. But he is very... put together, in a way that intimidates everyone around him. He is the type of guy who people praise by saying "They can make the hard but necessary decisions" the way people say about historical figures. Ryan can be super ruthless whenever he thinks he needs to be, whereas if we see Cardan being cruel, it's out of boredom or curiosity.

(On a somewhat separate note, the twins are more or less supposed to be literary foils. Foils are two characters designed to contrast each other, usually to highlight good qualities in the protag of a story, and the twins are meant to highlight how horrible the other one is. cuz they're both horrible.)

Also, it means SO much to me that you included the part about show vs tell because Onyx is not a reliable narrator whatsoever when it comes to the morality of the royal family, due to this conditioning. And I've been kinda nervous about the way it's written because I was worried that the narrator saying "oh yeah this is normal :) they're the royal family they can do whatever they want" might make people think that it's not as bad as it is or something? Especially in spots like chapter three where Onyx is like "oh yeah Ryan hates his brother more than he hates me." But like. I'm glad we can all agree that Ryan is a dick anyway

#I have been writing my answer to this off and on for two hours because I kept getting too excited and having to put my computer down #happy stims are great until the point where you can't be trusted to get excited with valuable things in your hands 😭 #rainbow's asks #rainbow's ocs #the winged servant #ryan tag #onyx tag #lucia tag #cardan tag #this is barely about any character besides ryan but ehhh the others can be tagged #i will admit that i googled the definition of pragmatic for this ask #it was a new word but that's a pretty good descriptor for ryan #he also is pretentious (despite the actual quote of “i am not pretentious”) and does like big vocab words. he'd like pragmatic

My journey through Vikings continues, and I gotta just say every time there’s a mystical/godlike being on this show they always look so so cool. Odin hobbling in the corner of Ragnar’s vision across the battlefield with his crows and his hat, decked out in all black? That ancient fortune teller in Kattegat whose hand Ragnar licks for some reason? Massive Guillermo del Toro monster vibes. Not inhuman but more than human. All long fingers and obscured faces. Their costume and makeup department was killing it, learned necromancy to raise it from the grave, then killed it even harder a second time.

#babbles #faey watches #vikings #what can i say i love a good set and good character design #and im learning to love the moments when Ragnar’s eyes go super bright like he just activated the lothbrok sharingan or something #bc i notice they do it at very specific points in the narrative and i am HERE for that #seems to happen most when he’s seeking a truth or being honest about something #and i read somewhere (forgetting where atm im so sorry) that eye color symbolism is pretty heavy in this ahow #so Ragnar has these clear eyes while the worse Lothbrok brother Rollo has dark eyes that never brighten #bc he’s mean and evil and only cares about himself #totally agree with that Rollo sucks #little more ehhh on the whole ‘dark features mean evil OOOOOUGH thing’ #but hey there’s been worse heavy handed symbolism and i appreciate how it #somehow manages to be super subtle (with Rollo) and not (with Ragnar and his high beam eyeballs)

FAR GALAXIES (2/6)

She didn’t answer. Instead, she pulled out her PADD from her coat, slow enough that Nico only slightly twitched. Jason’s transmission was loaded up on the screen—at the bottom, their signature tag was spelled out. “Guardians of the Galaxy. That supposed to be a joke?” “More like an aspiration,” Jason said. - Space, the final frontier. Or whatever.

lover in my top 5 taylor albums what is happening (the day is getting longer)

#jo in the tardis* #i love that she was like ehhh what the hell!!! they say you can't write good songs when you're happy but idc if they're good honestly. #they have been WRITTEN and i am PUBLISHING them because *i* love them!!! #that's how the whole thing feels like to me #i love messy albums that aren't trying to tell you they aren't messy if that makes sense? #it's honest!!!!!! IT'S HONEST!!!! and that's what matters... and it is her debut in a way #which is why there's a hint of that first album feeling where you're doing it for your soul and just ahhhhh... i love it

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

i did like seeing all the straight women being like "omg i dont quite get what she's trying to do with this song" and all the queer women being like "oh hello this is exactly what it's like being queer and a woman" it genuinely made me giggle but as a late bloomer, it made me feel so fucking validated in my queerness. oh, I'm really not insane am i? I'm just queer.

#the way i masked so fucking hard before 2021 should be studied actually #to think the only reason i know who i am today is because i thought ehhh fuck it its not like dating non autistic men has been good why not #in response to my boyfriend's message on okcupid telling me he was autistic and looking for a relationship #personal

Nice Poképasta you got there.

... can I hear more about it?

dsfgskjdf ty

the story is intended to focus more on the game itself, but there is some backstory involving its creator

sweet version was intended to be a gift for the creators partner, but the creator also suffered from poor health and passed before sweet version could be 100% finalized and while it was mostly complete visually there may be some... bugs and glitches

the player character is based off of them while the rival character is based off their partner, a name option for each is based on their real names.. though the two characters are sort of played off as separate from them

for the actual game itself, its presented as a very innocent 'hack' at first with a new story until the player runs into glitches that severely affect the game in some ways, one crashing the game entirely after attempting to catch a certain pokemon

and after that incident, LOVER notably seems to get a little harder to control, with dialogue boxes and certain actions being done without the player initiating anything... (which isnt exactly seen as odd at first, the creator seemed to include a lot more dialogue, mostly already consisting of LOVER talking to himself)

so, i feel like its probably obvious from the get-go, games a little haunted. LOVER sort of becomes sentient, taking an interest in the player themselves since they are the only other actual person in this situation (and the last major glitch managed to screw up the game and it seems like ROSE is missing...)

and i guess to put it simply and so i dont keep rambling forever, LOVER may or may not being coping that well

#pokemon sicklysweet #i am hoping to actually like. write it out as an actual creepypasta to read so i guess leaving out a a bit of info is a good idea #i didnt talk enough abt lover i think i didnt know where to slap that #hes just a sweet lil guy (to the player too) to be fair. even under the circumstances hes in by the time he realizes he exists #a little clingy. maybe a bit obsessed with romantics.. but a nice guy #hmm theres another lil part of his character but i feel like itd spoil it a little... ehhh something about memory issues

okay so this is leekie (hiiii) and here’s my comment bc ao3 is being a bitch and cut me off:

SREEDYYHY MY LOVE I MISSED YOU *picks you up and shakes you around like I’m making a cocktail using fancy bar equipment*

ZUKO MY BBY HES ALIVE AND WELL

n o. sokka my love Do Not tempt fate you and zuko WILL BE BOTH SAFE AND HAPPY AND ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME you’re probably just going to suffer a bit more before that happens…

ahh sokka with his achy hands.. we don’t want our boy getting arthritis before he’s even 18 </3

YAY sokka’s getting his insatiable appetite back, nature truly is healing (even tho ZUKO YOUR FUCKING MORON EAT YOUR STEW)

dad-chief and fatherlord buddies lmao

ohoho shen with his fire nation knowledge about fire nation hair and fire nation intimacy ;)))

“the teen was incredibly skilled at concealing his emotions” my oh my how we have Evolved from dramatic ass zuko in the show.. it’s depressing.

okay I’m interested in knowing about how you’re depicting cultural differences actually. like hakoda thinks that zuko looking him in the eye is a sign of respect bc that’s swt culture, but (at least I thought) isn’t it respectful to not look authority in the eye?? in which case, absolutely fucking iconic that zuko is being a defiant little shit and hakoda is like “what a polite young man :)”

“that’s why we risked it all” OHOHO WE DO LOVE A SNEAKY LITTLE TITLE REFERENCE

okay wait I lowkey love the zuko and shen dynamic it’s legendary

lmao not hakoda finding out katara purposefully got herself imprisoned

“why are you arguing with me?”

“because you are fucking stupid”

way to make a new friend zuko <3

OH NOOO SHEN DONT ASK WHY ZUKO KNOW WHAT THE CAPTAINS QUARTERS LOOK LIKE I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

nooooo katara your father is very much being a father to your very much not dead brother don’t be saaaaaad

bruh imagine if jet had been allowed in the war meeting that would’ve been an entire fucking mess omg

why is reho talking about sex it feels so wrong bc he’s such an innocent little fool.. omG ACE REHO??? i love this for him

oh no jet trauma :((

FUCK we’re gonna have a zukka and jet confrontation aren’t we

*moment of silence for boots*

yeahhh we’re getting a zukka and get confrontation.

ik this is going to evolve into a Bad argument but it’s hilarious that zuko of all people is the one lecturing sokka about having a short temper (also, something something taking on each other’s traits parallels something something)

wheezing at jet discovering that zuko is the blue spirit omfg FUCKING HELL REHO DONT SPILL THE BEANS ABOUT ZUKO BEING A PRINCE DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE DISHSOAP FOR BRAINS

holy shit reho whyyyyyyy

ah yes sokka when if doubt, tackle the love of your life so that you can annoy them into expressing their trauma

I swear to fucking god sreeder if you having zuko run away from the camp I will hunt you down

jet. jfc. this boy. needs to be put on a leash.

also FUCK the dai li, the dai li can EAT SHIT

ALSO jet and ara parallels???? earth kingdom nonbenders with immense trauma who send a message to an evil big boss man to tattle on where zuko is hiding????

LEEKIE!!!!

*hoping I make a delicious cocktail*

Ughhhh Zuko is starting to feel better which means some of his dramatic flare may return….

Haha Zuko & Shen have a weird dynamic of “I fucking hate you” but “we get along for brief moments”

Everyone thinks Zuko in Zhaos quarters is all depressing & yeah it kind of is but I’m pretttttyyy sure it’s only because he and Iroh had tea there many times. lol

Yay for ace Reho he deserves nice things sometimes.

Yeahhhhhhhhh…. Confrontation is on the horizon, so you see it? I see it.

(Something something you’re onto something like always)

Zuko is a flight risk, someone tie him to something, ignore his trauma. Lock him down.

*claps* omggg yessss!! Ara & Jet parallels all day, they are two peas in a pod and 85% of the readers HATE that pod.

Love you very much sorry it took me a million years to get back to you. <3

#I know I didn’t respond to all your points #but they are all so great #I am obsessed with your comments #I did get like 3 partially complete comments form you haha #so this made me very happy :) #I love you #& you always point out such good shit!! #Reho just wants a friend #he just wants to have a normal loyal relationship with someone #it was just…. probably not the best choice for that to be Jet #Reho doesn’t know any better #Jet made a friend #& instantly sabotaged it #self destructive guy #couldn’t give the SWT 5 minutes to handle it #before he lost his trust in them and tried to handle it himself #GOSH JET WHYYYY #but ehhh no one was surprised #it’s a very Jet thing to do #love you leekie #NOW YOU GET A LEEKI TAG #LEEKI MY LOVE #<3 #liab #ria #ask

ok for the tropes: established relationship, modern au, and battle couple 👀

Established Relationship: A

I LOVE it. Nothing better than an established relationship ESPECIALLY when there’s angst.

Modern AU: C

I don’t hate modern AUs per se, but I’m very picky. Specifically whenever a period/fantasy drama is written in Modern AU I’m very specific about how the characters are represented because there a times where I feel as if they’re wildly disconnected from canon.

Battle Couple: B (?)

Ok, I don’t know if I’ve ever read a fanfic trope like this before. Assuming it’s exactly what’s on the tin I’m into it. Especially if they’re competitive.

#modern AU’s are so ehhh to me #like there are some really good ones #but then there are others where I’m like where is the context for this #I am picky #lol

that Sex And Magic pride flag made me realize the sex stripe is my satyr's color and the magic stripe is my wizard's eye color and now I kinda wanna do art with the whole spectrum of the gilbert baker flag with my similarly thematically and chromatically appropriate OCs but that feels a bit presumptuous

#I have enough OCs and all of the ones I'd be matching to a stripe are queer and I just like Themes and Symbolism #and also rainbow colors and matchy matchy #I mean I guess the good news is this isn't actually a real problem because since when do I have the attention span for A Themed Project #I guess it can go in the same brain bucket as 'OCs as tarot cards' #fun to think about! am I ever gonna DO something with it? ehhh... #about me
