hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

#seriously another shout out to my mutuals #id particularly like to say thank you to boom who's always right there for me no matter what's happening or how insane im being #and also everyone in our little discord that wound up having to make a whole new channel for venting #bc i was there so often like 'today's weird ask isssss.... telling me about my cupsize!! rip them to shreds!!!'#hannah and theo especially being there and pushing me to finally turn off anon. war is truly over #and of course rori bc the shamelessness u show when hating on my anon asks has been genuinely really cathartic #sometimes u really do just need a rottweiler mutual to tell random people online to kill themselves 😭#okay weird oscar acceptance speechcore gratitude over. i do just rlly love my mutuals #like i went three years not telling anyone about the worse side of internet popularity for fear of looking spoiled and ungrateful #so for the first time to open up about it and be met with outrage on my behalf and people saying in fact it's MORE fucked up #than i initially realised bc ive grown desensitised to it is. yeah cathartic i guess #they are singlehandedly reassuring me of the good this cursed app still holds #so everyone thank them and send them flowers NOW #okay im done i think. see you guys soon. i truly do want to come back asap bc like i said i NEVER EVEN WANTED TO FUCKING LEAVE #SOME ASSHOLES JUST HAD TO PUT GRENADES ON WHAT I ASSUMED WERE VERY UNIVERSAL AND OBVIOUS BOUNDARIES #if you're reading this like 'ohhh fuck i defo sent something invasive lately. i thought it was a joke/we were friends'#then 1) we arent friends if you're on anon. it immediately creates a power imbalance where you know me and any necessary context #but i have no idea who you are or how much you know about me. that's already a fucked dynamic #and 2) I HOPE YOU FEEL BAD. LIKE GENUINELY I HOPE YOU FEEL AWFUL AND HAVE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF #okay i think that's all. ta-ra lads??? how tf do u end something like this #ive queued this to reblog a couple more times throughout the day

How does Ticcimask work in your story? I don't know if you've talked about it before, or if you're tired of this question, I just wanted to ask due to how there are so many conflicting depictions of the ship.

Depends on what you mean? If you're referring to their ages, Origin is about Tim as a teenager. It'd be weird if it was Marble Hornets, Red Flannel Tim dating 15 year old Toby (STARES LOUDLY), but this is a prequel to MH, and they're roughly the same age. The love-hate dynamic that people associate with Ticcimask works better when they're the same age, imho, and that's always been how I've seen the ship. They're rivals to each other, rather than an adult bullying a child because he's Kind Of Annoying (and mentally disabled, which. Yikes).

In Origin, they're both obsessed with each other, but for completely different reasons, and those reasons change over the narrative as their ideologies shift.

In Tim's eyes, Toby is this captivating, all consuming flame. Toby doesn't languish over what's right and wrong, what makes him a "good boy" or a "bad boy"- he does as he pleases, and demands everyone witness it. He spits in The Operator's face and openly questions the nature of their rearing and their orders, even though that hurts his standing. Though that usually pisses him off, he can't help but find it a bit admirable. Toby is very compelling to Tim, in all aspects, and he can't help but want him around even though he finds him so antagonistic. Toby understands Tim's anger at the world, and- most importantly- he validates it through his actions and reactions. At the same time, though, he challenges Tim intellectually, which very few people do. Kate tells him "don't do bad things", but Toby asks him "why?"

When it comes to how Toby sees Tim... I fear saying too much. I kind of want it to be something you interpret yourself. But I'll say that for however intense Tim views Toby, Toby views Tim three times as intensely. Like, don't ever read Toby's mind when he's thinking about Tim, you will feel compelled to Call Someone (therapist, doctor, a priest, or all three). It's very hard to describe how Toby sees Tim without using some very heavy-handed biblical imagery, because from the start, Toby has seen Tim through the lens of believing The Operator is God. You can infer from there how he might see Tim- sometimes as a messiah, sometimes as Satan, and sometimes as both simultaneously. He wants to be close to that light, but he knows in his gut that there's something deeply Wrong about it.

Despite how they are obviously Aware of each other's dangerous faults and how badly things could go, they still choose to rely on each other. Simply because that, despite everything I said above, they get along horrifically well. When they agree on something, that thing is done with brutal efficiency. They are The Operator's Boys, and they're both his Best of The Best. They complete each other in the worst possible way- they're dangerous for each other, but deadly for everyone else. If things go according to The Operator's plan, they will be exactly as Toby fantasizes: Literal Kings, sitting atop a throne of bodies and ruling the humans on Earth like apex predators.

The thing is... is that really what they want? And are they willing to do what it takes to achieve that?

#i've been sitting on this for ages because ive been thinking so goddamn hard about this #like ive made jokes and little bits about this but I've never Gone Into It #mostly because a lot of their relationship drives the plot #but now that we're coming up to the peak of the story I can explain this because it's all referencing the text and not spoiling anything #ticcimask #ticci toby #tim wright #masky (creepypasta)#au thoughts #Remember what I said about Not Being Corny and referencing the Bible in my art #these two fuckers are why I have to keep reminding myself of that #long post

Gale's Analysis: Why Gabriel Agreste is the best parent in Miraculous Ladybug

Now the candy cane man has been getting ribbed on the internet since season one. Many people are convinced he is such an awful and unsympathetic individual that they believe jail or even death is a punishment that is too merciful. I know this because I was once one of the people that believed that.

But after doing an extensive deep dive into the series I can say that not only is Gabriel Agreste a fascinating character he is the following:

Sympathetic Antagonist done right

A Genius in Fashion and Scheming

A Loving Father and Husband

The Real hero of the series

These are bold claims I understand but I will be going into detail down below.

(Fair warning, I will be discussing up to the current Season 5 episodes that have aired and if you are not caught up yet, I recommend coming back to this post.)

APRIL FOOLS!

Gabriel Agreste is a piece of s***!

Here are some images of him getting owned

Hey y'know when you start playing a visual novel game for the funny-sillies and then it turns into a character-building exercise that has you in a hyperfixation chokehold. well

#grmfffmsdwfhkc #the arcana #the arcana game #im hyperfixating again #eewfkshjshdhsj #I just spent half of my french class looking up Australian peacock spiders and if they can exist in a climate akin to the country of Wales #I don't even know at this point but its fun #I'm sorry ms A #OH AND I HAVE SUPER INTERESTING INFORMATION REGARDING LOCATIONS because I fell down a rabbit hole help #actually don't help but still #the apprentice #if anyone's interested I'm willing to ramble about my OC I haVE LORE :DDDDDD #it started as a joke #and now I'm going bonkers bananas up the wall /pos #also spoiling the game for myself by consulting the wiki :'D #but its for the sake of character depth so its fine I think #hey question what in the name of creation is actually up with the wiki #cos it looks like everything has gone haltsies #character building #alright anyways I'm procrastinating I should go #toodle pip

There was a message on La'an's PADD. The sender was Lieutenant James Kirk.

a Lieutenant Kirk/La'an fic~ T. ~4300 words.

---

Ever since the finale of Strange New Worlds season 1, I've been (not so) low-key into Kirk/La'an, so when the trailers for season 2 dropped, I was over the moon that I was getting crumbs. I got more than crumbs~

This fic is my personal wish fulfillment, but I hope you'll enjoy it too! Before anyone brings it up, in this 'verse, Kirk isn't dating Carol Marcus.

The title is from Christina Chong's song Twin Flames. It's got Kirk/La'an vibes~

#kirk x la'an #jim kirk #james t kirk #la'an noonien singh #star trek snw #ka'an #my writing #i posted it otherwise i'd continue tweak with it and maybe my time is better spent doing something else #fulfilling my own niche needs #call me jim^^#i'm now spoiled because of mc/s fics i published recently so idk what kind of threshold for the engagement to expect for this fic 😂#this fic was written 100% for me (no joke) but I guess it'll be a bit disappointing if people won't enjoy it...

ok for fun here's some thing i thought about helluva boss before i watched it (i have now watched it):

1. i truly and whole heartedly did not know they killed people. initially i kept seeing it tagged with hazbin hotel and helluva boss so i just assumed they worked at the hotel

2. i thought moxxie and millie were background characters and probably did not speak the full show/only spoke 2-3 lines ever in the whole show max (this assumption comes almost entirely from seeing stolas say "then what's his phone number" and also the character design)

3. i assumed blitzø was like the guy who manned the front desk at the hotel

4. shortly after i watched hazbin and processed that they didn't work at a hotel i heard the imp jingle and somehow concluded that when a living person summons a demon on earth to kill someone, these were the guys that showed up

5. i had heard of loonas human form and assumed that meant that's what she looked like while she was alive, not that she wore it to go to earth

6. i thought blitzø was literally her dad and that the show focused heavily on them repairing their relationship whenever they were on screen

7. i thought fizzarolli was the unhinged clown villain of a completely different, unrelated cartoon (i assumed he was the villain immediately because he's voiced by alex brightman using the beetlejuice voice, and he's clown themed. i continued to assume this after seeing a very brief clip of the "are you ever sick and tired" fast part of fuck you, like wow the clown villain also hate capitalism)

8. i assumed it was on cartoon network and appropriate for kids (idk how i assumed this one that's on me)

9. i thought stolas was just a pompous bird man and that people just shipped him with blitzø as a fun fan thing, and that in the show they must actually dislike each other (in other words, i kinda assumed it was a radioapple situation)

10. i fully and wholeheartedly assumed all of these characters (except moxxie and millie) as a whole were just side characters that were on screen every once in a while and that i just somehow hadn't encountered the main characters of the show yet

#helluva boss #i'm not even joking #for context up until i watched hazbin i was only really exposed thru looking in the loona tag occasionally #but even then i wasn't huge into kpop band loona and i would scroll past the helluva boss stuff quickly #once i watched hazbin i saw a couple clips here and there on tiktok but even then id scroll past them because i didn't want to be spoiled #because my friend had recommended it to me after they binged hazbin and then helluva boss #as far as fizz went i thought he was a diff cartoon so i want avoiding spoilers i just didn't like him #wasn't #ironic given i'm obsessed with him now #truly the brain rot

Forgive me for waiting too long

For letting your love twist and spoil

With my neglect

Forgive me for courting you

And leaving you to rot

Forgive me for insisting on your love

When I should have given you back

As you extract your filthy vengeance

I ask

Forgive me

#ramblings #Herenya writes poetry #this is a very funny joke #about the spoiled potatoes I ate #that are now trying to destroy my bowels

9 people you'd like to get to know better!

Tagged by @terribleoldwhitemen, who I think really speaks for all of us - thank you!

three ships: Captain Crozier/ James Fitzjames, the Captain/ Lieutenant Havers, Sam/ Frodo

first ship: I'm afraid it was Harry/ Hermione, back before I even knew what fanfic was. So a good 18 or so years back now 🙃

last song: Andrew in Drag by The Magnetic Fields

last film: STILL Some Like It Hot three months ago. Unless Over the Garden Wall counts as a film since I always watch it as one

currently reading: the High Society script, learning the order of scenes and songs for quick changes

currently watching: nothing really, I've been spending my evenings doing alterations. But at work I've found a guy on YouTube who reads vintage ghost stories and they're bloody excellent: he has the perfect voice for saying things like "mezzotint" and "antiquarian" and "why, that is most curious". Would highly recommend if you like a bit of cosy spookiness.

currently consuming: sad supermarket sandwich and carton of iced coffee

currently craving: half an hour ago I would have said sleep, but I don't know if it is sleep so much as refreshing rest. We start tech on Monday and it's going to be a shitter because they haven't left enough time between entrances and exits for changing lol

tagging: @theiceandbones @littlehen @tattedpetticoats @buriedsecrets @mischieffoal @shimyereh @vinceaddams @fabledquill @beingstacey if you want to!

#posting this now instead of queueing it because I think my queue is now nearly up to New Year lol #no-one is feeling particularly enthusiastic about High Society #it's going to be a bit of a slog and it's not even especially a fun show #'rich spoiled woman chooses between three equally dull men'#well #'chooses' implies that someone in the show isn't utterly passive which is very much not the case #this might be ok if there were any witty lines or jokes but #there are not #I dunno #I feel very disconnected from it #but then I'm also just generally slipping into numbness #I feel like I'm going through the motions with everything and inside it's just... blank

I knew it was gonna happen and was still flabbergasted when it did

#izzy hands #i understand why it happend. doesn't mean i have to be any less delusional or mad about it #i didn't even have to get spoiled to know he was gonna die. still pissed off tho #not even sad. just disappointed #it isn't even very rare for me to be disappointed that I'm right #idk what that says about me #either I'm gifted with the ability of prophecy #or just so traumatized that i can see a traumatic event coming from a mile away #this fucking show man #literally just ruined my vacation a day before i went on it #so rude of you for that jenkins #i actually trusted this show. should've known better 😒😒😒/hj #i was literally just speechless the whole death scene i didn't even hear what bro was saying #new headcanon: buttons and izzy friendship #I'm pretty sure this ending just ruined my entire ofmd hyperfixation. not even joking #anyways. imma go jump off a cliff now #and when i say jump off a cliff i mean jump head first into my dcu fixation to cope with this bs

I’d like to see people try to explain how that Ishy/Rand scene is straight actually.

I’m kidding I’m expecting it to be basically this: “Obviously Ishy knew that was actually Lanfear when he laid down beside dream!Rand and leaned in close and tenderly stroked the side of his face with such gentle sincere affection. Obviously.” Like that makes any sense at all.

#wheel of time #I am obsessed with this dynamic #tbh I was just begining to see the full extent of deranged ship potentials with forsaken #I am so here for it now #I can not wait until everyone else gets a turn #wot #and I mean forsaken and the two rivers crew and friends tbc #Bc even though I’m two books in I am very spoiled for the rest of the series due to impatience and access to the internet #Mainly I just want I understand and make the jokes with everyone.
