Ooooo best trick or treat ever. Trick please 🥺

Oh damn a trick?

You're getting some cracked whump then >:D

Karen whumper didn't expect the seemingly helpless Cashier Whumpee she was yelling at was actually a serial killer. Now she was chained in their basement, and they would make sure she could scream to her heart's content.

sometimes it drives me literally insane to see romance requests that are like

--I want a romance wherein it's basically the happy epilogue throughout the book

--I want a romance that has great communication and they never withhold anything from each other ever

--no "miscommunication trope"

The last thing is just a general gripe about how so many of the things people say are tropes are not tropes, and it's pedantic and snobby but like. Miscommunication is so broad. It's not a trope. People are miscommunicating. WHAT are they miscommunicating about? Is one of them keeping a secret identity from their partner? Because a secret identity romance iS a trope. Is one of them withholding their feelings out of fear of rejection?

Because people DO miscommunicate. Often writers do write it clumsily. If people miscommunicate for no reason, sure, whatever. But if they miscommunicate BECAUSE of a REASON--like, often it's not even miscommunication lol. It's the hero keeping his dire supernatural secret from his wife because she'll die if she finds out (honestly, valid to me, but whatever). It's the heroine finding it difficult to trust the hero with her heart because her dad left when she was young (maybe cliche in theory, but actually a very real thing that happens).

If all you want is plotless nothing wherein everyone is happy and nobody makes mistakes, I personally have a hard time thinking of it as a book, because there is no story. It's just vibes. And essentially EVERY time, people have to mess up and make mistakes in order for there to be a plot.

I just don't understand the point.

#romance novel blogging #if all you want is pure vibes what you want is a short form story or fanfic sorry #you don't want a book #and i'm not saying every writer does miscommunication right--romance has a lot of clumsy writers who just shove it in #(lmao) #but miscommunication is often a backbone in its most broad form of conflict #'i cannot tell you this thing because i am scared for you' #'i cannot tell you this thing because i'm scared of what you'll think of me' #'i can't tell you how i really feel bc i frankly need therapy' #these are all forms of miscommunication and the thing is that when a writer does it well you don't even call it 'miscommunication trope' #but you'll still dismiss miscommunication as bad #the long game by rachel reid is a great example #generally a really well-received book! #ilya gets distant with shane and shane doesn't take ilya's feelings as much as he should #bc ilya has depression and is not telling shane about it #and there is NO REASON for ilya to do this other than internalized shame and a tendency to hide his pain to keep others happy #this is miscommunication!!! they are not communicating well!!! and people still like the book bc rachel reid is a good writer #who knows how to convey this in a way that isn't annoying and is relatable #lol ofc all of this is also symptomatic of the fact that people can't read nuance anymore apparently #and 'character behaves badly = book bad' #(for the record ilya and shane miscommunicate a lot in both books but those books are widely loved bc again rachel is a good writer)

I’m sorry that you’ve been getting a lot of anon hate :( recently a lot of anons have been feeling pretty entitled and being rude to people just trying to have fun and to share

Me and everyone else who follows you enjoys what you write. You don’t deserve that hate. Sending much love ❤️

I wasn't getting anon hate until that last message, which I won't publish, but essentially got pissy with me bc I asked folks to talk to me off anon about stuff- which has been ignored twice today and as a result I wasn't able to discern one anon from another and came across as irritated to someone who didn't deserve it. (Sorry 2nd barracks bunny anon, that's on me) and that is one of the reasons I really don't like talking with someone via anon because it can lead to a lot of confusion. I've always asked people to talk me off anon, and it gets very frustrating when folks ignore that and insist I engage with them.

I get lots of sweet people over anon, and I appreciate them. However at this point I think I am going to permanently and forever turn off that function. Even outside of this circumstance I get anxious even seeing a notification because I'm constantly worried someone is going to be nasty. It's better for me to keep it off. It's a privilege not a right, and I have no obligation to provide that to folks if I'm uncomfortable with it.

#also just generally in a not great mood because I want to just hole up in my room and write but I'm expected to do birthday activities #I just want to be quiet and small and get lost in my own little worlds #and I'm waiting for this to develop into a full fledged thing bc that's just what happens on this blog even though I try to avoid it #because apparently that's what I do is just fuck up all the time despite my best intentions #Please just leave me alone for the evening

remembering one time in high school where this girl was telling everyone what they “looked” like. One girl got dubbed a plum, another christened as a coconut, and I?

this abomination

when i was in my twenties, pretty much everyone i knew was strung out, including my partner, so i saw this sort of thing multiple times a day. it was like people were constantly playing russian roulette in my living room; you never knew when someone was going to nod out and never wake up. (and the health problems- collapsed veins, abcesses, staph, mrsa, pancreatitis, hep c, hiv, etc etc, not to mention the threat of jail time.) & this went on for years, it was very traumatic.

so anyway i have complicated feelings about the drug use of my emotional-support fictional character. & devil's foot is my favorite episode bc it is so upsetting.

#i mean holmes wasn't doing heroin or sharing needles so it's not the same thing at all #but still it gets me right in the heart #i guess i can post whatever i want bc this is my blog #i never tell anyone about this i just pretend that part of my life never happened 🙃 #pls do not dispose of sharps by burying them in 1in of sand at the beach #empty house is my other favorite bc it is also very upsetting #drug use #the devil's foot #my posts #i need a tag for the dumb shit i say #digressions #tmi #apparently pancreatitis is caused by alcohol use but it's one of things my boys were alway laid up w #being strung out wrecks yr immunity

i'm just curious

#i feel like. one of these things is Not Like The Others #and pretty sure it's gonna get 0% but #i didn't want to make everything the same kinda thing #anyways i'm very curious how people perceive me #bc apparently yall do that #which is still weird to me bc i genuinely see myself as a no one blog #but a lot of people actually fairly regularly interact with me?????? #which is SO weird to me #but appreciated very much nonetheless #anyways #vibes #polls #not stargate

#Tumblr cant handle me bc im so hot and funny and mentally stable and normal about things #Oh well. My blog has been restored!!! Again. #Apparently it was another (or the same???) error??? Idek what that means #They can bite me tho. I am back. And i intend to remain.

[beatcroc]

Hiii! I'm just here to say hi! I love your fake peppino stuff it looks delicious.. You're one of my first follows if I remember correctly. I came to tumblr because Twitter was severely lacking in fake peppino content and this place had like so much.

not a question! but thank you!

twitter algorithms suppressing the strange and charismatic little guys as always 😤

#this is mostly a joke but also. lmao #on a different note it's wild to have this kind of thing Confirmed bc like #id look though recent follows and see all these empty icons/new blogs and be like bots??? so many bots?? #but then i'd look through their following and every time it was always like all pt stuff and id be like ?????? #are you guys coming on here just to look at pizza content?????? #and apparently. you were. and following ME about it which is even crazier

[brobotsbro]

...........if this was not somehow readily apparent by the constant talking about queer robots. this blog is run by a real life queer person. and I will not tolerate transphobia or homophobia and if I find out you are those things I will block you. Just letting anyone who may have somehow not gotten the message know. Trans rights isn't just referring to the transformers.

#i say this bc i just got spam liked by someone #which i like #but i went to check their blog #three posts in there is a heavily christian oriented post #which ok does not necessarily mean they are transphobic or homophobic but just to be sure i checked #and only found like 1 inconclusive thing but it was suspicious enough i went to their follow list which is public #and found them following a blog that seemed to be like at LEAST 95% transphobic and homophobic posting #they had 'conservative evangelical' in their DESCRIPTION #and they'd updated literally like 5 minutes ago so i knew this wasnt some long dead blog from the dark past #so i said yikes! and hit the block button #i have no idea how they got that far into my blog apparently not realizing this was a very different scene. #anyway. trans rights. queer rights.

i can't find it to save my life so i am indeed here once again to point out why kai (varus') should be kai (irelia's brother) because it fits beyond the name ✨

1. irelia never saw kai dead. when she got home, her family had already been killed and buried. he could very well have been somewhere else entirely without her knowing, considering she had been in the placidium for some time.

2. kai is from navori, as is irelia's family.

3. dark hair and blue eyes

4. she was raised to follow karma's teachings. her family believed in harmony and balance and taught her and her brothers that, which is in line with kai's lines who, even as a slayer, says he serves the great balance

5. and admittedly i'm just going on with my bullshit now but i also just appreciate the idea that at the same time they were raised to put ionia first and care for the balance, they were also raised to protect what's important to them and with a strong sense of doing what's right and that kai immediately leaped to the temple's defense when noxus attacked with irelia in parallel having such a central role in fighting back (and it'd also be aligned with what's said about the rest of the family and how her father and her brothers protested when the noxians got to their village)

i just think val and kai exist so isolated when this would be such an easy connection to make (and!! the heartlight comic has all 3 of them being 'in control' of their body at different points; val talks to his mom to say they're leaving and looking for a way to be free again and i think it'd be fun to have that explored more let kai be her brother and let irelia talk to him thanks)

#» out of character — ⌜main sup irl.⌟ #out of all the things on league of legends i could preach for #this IS the one i choose to keep being annoying about #that and kat being the faceless #but that's for a different blog #i wish i could find the old posts.. #kai tag tbd. #they're apparently already husbands when kai meets val's family #probably bc pallas seems to be so isolated? #either way. the thought of kai bringing valmar to meet his family and little irelia meeting her brother's future husband #fills me with joy #ajadnfjn #it's canon in my heart

had a dream last night where mal & alina switched roles so he was the sun summoner and he ended up with nikolai . never considered that ship once in my life honestly. it was interesting
