#boy am i bad at titles

[jamiesfootball]

Good news: [redacted title] post season three fic word count has passed 34k words and is finally. fucking. outlined. Start to finish, scene by scene. Roy Kent in therapy. Roy Kent turning therapy into a competitive sport. Roy Kent grappling with what it means to be a coach. Touched starved Roy Kent making excuses for Jamie to live on his couch all summer. Jamie Tartt hiding his fucking problems while simultaneously trying to live on Roy’s sofa. Keeley running Colin’s Gay PR Crisis.The Richmond lads going undercover to spy on the rival Nigerian restaurant (poorly). It’s all drafted. It’s plotted. Entire scenes have been written. Ive done all the bits I usually struggle with. I just have to flesh it out - which is the part I like and am actually good at!

Bad news: it’s going to be so long. Jesus fucking Christ it’s going to be so long. I am not a brief person, and I really, specifically, critically need to articulate every reason the Jamie forgiving his dad storyline felt like a slap in the face. If this doesn’t balloon x3 past it’s current size I’ll eat my sandals.

Worse news: I can’t write chronologically to save my life so the odds of this seeing the light of day before it’s 95% done are basically non-existent, leaving me at the mercy of my own self-motivation.

The WORST MOST AWFUL NEWS: I HAVE A FULL TIME REAL ADULT FUCKING JOB AND SOMEHOW, WHEN I’D RATHER BE WRITING, I HAVE TO GO TO MEETINGS INSTEAD. FUCK. WHY.

#anyways if there are any wealthy suitors out there #who would like to fund me in perpetuity like a 15th century Medici #i am grumpy and funny and I complain less than Michelangelo ever did #[redacted title] post season three fic #this bad boy can fit so much self indulgence #jamie tartt #roy kent #ted lasso #ted lasso fic

i've mentioned here and there that i made a relationships/dynamic spreadsheet. i have finally put it to use. look on my Works, ye mighty, and despair.

-extra note: i am not omniscient and i cannot watch every stream. i may have missed a sibling declaration or two.

-extra extra note: i currently speak only english and used google translate for the rest. if theres a translation error I'd love to know- i wont be able to go back and fix these, but im always so curious about how accurate google translate can be

extra extra note pt 2: do. do other languages use guardian as in "legal guardian" as in "not a family member but still Primary Caregiver of child" because i am suddenly aware those translations might not be correct. on the other hand tho if google translate decided that the parents are guarding warriors of the eggs im not going to argue

#qsmp #i should have added a ??? line for fit and philza tbh #look at just how beloved forever is <3 #his dynamics have dynamics #he and richarlyson are also part of The Issue when compiling a fucking. whatever the hell this si #maybe a chart not a graph it is currently 4 am and im gonna schedule this #anyway i did legitimately consider making one of those classic family tree charts and just sticking richas in the centre so he wouldnt caus #too many lines to overlap but i think this worked out fine #absolutely delighted i thought of the columns it saved my ass #this server is Three Months Old #look at them founding those families #philever stans i see you and im sorry #if i included a heartbreak line then this would have been completely incomprehensible #fun fact to translate the silly 'king what are you doing' i made google translate #'chad what are you doing' instead so there would still be the grammar of a proper noun #but i wouldnt trick it into thinking king is an honourary title #i might not know the grammar of any non-english language but Oh Boy i know there are Traps #or maybe english's traps have just made me paranoid #either way #also. richas was added to bad's family art wall and bad baghs and forever have called each other family enough that #i made the executive decision to just adopt richarlyson out to the other two #richas called bad basically his mom tonight i can do what i want #and baghera gets to be part of that line because. honestly i wasnt thinking about him being Extra Canon Nephew #and i refuse to change it for reasons above re: it is 4 am; they are family #tho the thought of bad having three children separately attributed to him is hilarious.... maybe if i ever remake this ill do that #also note: i do know that foolish and bad had a kid called jimmy However i do not know what a jimmy is #so #scheduled post

[delta-piscium]

blatantly making [DnD character’s] backstory a steddie fic for wip weekend please I am so intrigued!!

oh thank you!!! You have no idea how excited I am that you requested this, this fic is my (very neglected) baby !! (and based on my favorite PC who is a human bard called Max in a modern campaign setting, i just wanted to share that lmao)

“Steve? Eddie?” Someone calls from the other room and they spring apart. “Where did you go?” “Uhh,” Eddie says and Steve rolls his eyes. “Just getting water,” he calls back, “we’ll be out soon.” “Get me an ice cream too,” the someone, who Steve now realizes is definitely Dustin, shouts before he hears the back door sliding open and then shut again.  He waits a couple of seconds to be sure they're alone again and then raises an eyebrow at Eddie. “Uhh,” he parrots. “There’s not a lot of blood in my brain, kinda difficult to think” Eddie snipes back but he’s smiling. Steve tilts his head, “I make it hard for you to think straight?”  Eddie gives him an unimpressed look, “that’s the worst thing anyone has ever said to me Harrington, and I had an angry mob with pitchforks after me.” Steve shrugs, “what are you gonna do about it?” Then he lets a slow smile spread across his lips, and glances down at Eddies ‘no blood in his brain situation’ “big boy.” Eddie’s jaw audibly snaps shut and when Steve looks up he’s giving him a wide-eyed look. ‘Yeah, got him back for that one’ Steve thinks, satisfied to have some leverage back between them.  Eddie closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. “You are gonna have to stay so far away from me Harrington, or I will jump your bones and traumatize all our friends even more than they already are. Then when everyone has left I will deal with all,” he waves a hand between them, “this.” “You keep calling me Harrington,” Steve points out, “what, no more baby? Sweetheart? Princess?” Eddie turns on his heel.  “So far away,” he shouts over his shoulder.

(very late) WIP weekend (Wednesday)/make me write

#i think steve using big boy back on eddie is something that can be so personal #this wip brings something out of me and that something is steve and eddie endlessly going back and forth teasing each other #...this is how my dnd characters act if anyone wonders #anyways bc the title is not descriptive this is my fuckbuddies to lovers story with like...some bad choices inbetween (there's running #bc i love writing running apparently) i have a whole scene written for the resolution? kinda? idk but either way im so excited about it #i just gotta write more of the in between parts and i will i will #i am just so excited about all my wips i cant pick one and i gotta focus a little on one eventually so #my post #stranger things #eddie munson #steve harrington #steddie #ask #dels steddie thoughts #my writing #amusingdisplacement

[variousqueerthings]

I note that I don't, and I never, was much of a fan of doctor-and-rose as romance, but that I -- rather than get annoyed at the romantic-coded scenes -- had a tendency to simply read them from a totally different perspective, and really maybe should have been a sign of sooomething different about me, that I continuously felt that the doctor's concepts of connection must be so alien, that to call it romance would be to diminish the actual Thing that they had, which was presented as such onscreen (to my mind then, now I realise what was happening, but I prefer what I had going on), which is basically that the doctor was a shell of a person, hurtling towards destruction (he would have died without rose in ep1), desperately lonely and sad and traumatised, and she retaught nine -- and by extension ten -- how to love the universe, at the same time as nine and ten taught her the same. (I think about the scene in father's day, where while they're arguing, rose says that she knows how sad he is, and he'll just hang around the tardis waiting for her -- she knew!)

and then on top of that with sarah-jane (which, I never watched the classics as a kid, so I didn't have that context for her beyond what the episode presented) it felt like that was sort of confirmed and made even more canon through this idea that the doctor is constantly mourning the inevitable deaths of their companions and would rather simply leave them behind at some point than watch that happen (and they've seen that happen before, although dying for a cause versus just... dying, because you die, while they don't, they just continue on and on, always seeking connection, always knowing that time will take them away, that's a whole other thing)

and then of course there's ten's... I would call it "sex appeal" because it's david tennant and with his performance there's immediately a bit of a focus on oh he's quite pretty and he faints/is knocked unconscious in both of his first episodes, and a lot more flirting, and the people want to see sparks or what have you... but the doctor as portrayed and written is still... not coming at it that way. yes yes girl in the fireplace but also, once again, doesn't work for me, because I find it soooo much more interesting that the doctor would imprint on A Life - and a life that they admire -- and speedrun the exact thing that they're most afraid of with their companions... that she ages and dies and it's the one thing that the doctor simply cannot stop

meanwhile rose is quite young and swept up in this whole massive adventure and very much reads the doctor not as an alien (frequently surprised by their alien-ness) and gets jealous of sarah-jane as if she's an ex, and renette as if she's... a replacement? but really it's more that the doctor met her at the point when she was about to accept her life as it was. not an exciting life, not a bad life, but always having to ignore the idea that there must be more to it than this. and the idea that she might be unceremoniously dumped back in that after seeing just how This the this could be, of course that's terrifying. and of course she's simultaneously taken with the dashing doctor and the jetset life, and worried she could be replaced, because to her the doctor saved her at 19 years old. in some ways the doctor created her (considering who she becomes after dooms day)

contrasted to martha who initially has a similar kind of experience, but the doctor doesn't meet her at the space she's in with them -- ten is leaning on her, like they did with rose, but not giving anything back unless kicking and screaming and traumatising her whole family. martha's trajectory is so so tragic, because she barely gets a taste of the splendor versus the horrors and the latter marks her for life. but she also knows to walk away from those overwhelming feelings, rather than give into them, she knows they'll never be rewarded and she also grows beyond wanting to be a crutch for the doctor (the fact that she then ends up as a soldier, well... ouch)

and then of course donna, who never has those fucking awe-feelings to begin with and whose connection with the doctor is explicitly de-romanticised but never placed on a lesser pedestal as if there's a hierarchy of alloromanticism. topples those pillars, never sees the doctor as anything but what the doctor is. good old donna. (sobs.) (but also... cautious hope for the specials.) (but also sobs.)

my point being. just don't buy alloromantic doctor, they're a near-immortal alien. it's such a dull simplistic way of reading their relationships to other beings. other point being. all those women who were making heart-eyes at ten, wish they'd met thirteen and had a... "yeah, this still works for me," moment. their horizons, too, are broadened by seeing More. (that or they realise they were never actually "in love" but just thought ten was a sexy skinny little snack and it blinded them.) (although jodie whittaker, too, is a snack.)

and lastly lastly ofc, is that if the doctor has a longterm (by doctor time measurement) intense relationship with anyone, whatever that might be called, it's the tardis. and that relationship is also so alien it cannot be quantified by human words for concepts

#im rewatching doctor who #doctor who #dw #aroace doctor #look im rewatching into 13 and beyond i am willing to entertain yaz and 13 because we enjoy a good bit of lesbianism #however will wait and see because the doctor in my head is so so aroace in every incarnation #they just manifest it in different ways #i could go into the whole eleven-and-river and how i feel about that #i am perhaps in the minority in that river's arc just doesn't work for me and often neither does her character #i kind of want to listen to the audio adventures because ive heard she's got much more to do there #than be a flirty enigma/sexy lady/moffat fantasy #but i can say that one of my least favourite things about moffat's run was how 'sexy' he tried to make everything #by literally just having people use the word sexy all the time and talk about bad girls and what have you #it's like sexiness as written by a straight teenage boy #and not a supposedly grown man writing for grown people #other minority opinion perhaps but eleven just isn't my cup of tea #am interested in how i'll feel going back into that run #dont like matt smith much dont like moffat much and dont like what they envisioned for the doctor and how they directed/acted the doctor #feel like capaldi had to claw the character back into some semblance of thematic coherency #i was never too much into especially ten getting a bit high and mighty with lonely god and the like titles BUT #waters of mars places that in a very particular context that makes it so so gooood #(another post for another day about companion opinions)

He already has a transformation on screen (albeit short, and the live action one is more a parody), and hes technically Sailor Earth by proxy of sailor crystal. Not to mention, Mamoru even has his own commuciator watch just like the senshi!

Not to mention, his name Tuxedo Kamen is based on tokusatsus like Kamen Rider who all have some form of henshin phrase!

So... Should he have a phrase like the senshi?

#mamoru chiba #tuxedo mask #PGSM #sailor moon #sailor moon crystal #sailor earth #cus its relevant i think #he doesnt have to shout make up or anything #and i am being 100% serious . should he have a phrase and not in a parody way #no man in dress jokes none of that. im 100% serious. #vote as if this was serious. vote based on this not being a joke. don't vote cus you think itd be funny if he had one. #i want magical boys to be taken a tad more serious than what I've seen #this is very relevant #hes not sailor earth by title imo but i see him as a senshi/guardian #this is the 2nd time i made a poll osrry if its bad

[sass-squat]

I've come to the conclusion that I will likely continue to draw this Winged Au for a looooong time and should therefore probably have a better name for it. What do you all think? Please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments or tags or message me directly! Thank you all again for your love and support!!! :D

#winged au #linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu time #lu twilight #lu sky #lu warriors #lu legend #lu hyrule #lu wild #lu four #lu wind #I am officially thoroughly attached to my bird boys #and therefore they should probably have a different title to differentiate them from the other bird boys #cause I have too many drawing ideas for them so there will be a lot more content of them then I originally expected #but I'm so bad at naming things pls help me I beg of you

[eli-writes-sometimes]

UGHHH ive just reached a point in planning something where i have to choose who i want the protagonist to run into and its really annoying me

on one hand theres the canon character who i originally imagined it to be, who has a tragic backstory so a bunch of potential for reveals and stuff. the only drawback is that i cant stop feeling embarrassed even though NO ONES GONNA READ IT

and then i could take the easy way out and just make a new character with a smimilar concept but none of the backstory just to stop me from feeling embarrassed about putting a charaacter that already exists into a universe that they exist in

#UIGHHHHH #you can take the boy out of the church but cant take the church out of the boy ig #im just ranting ignore me #THE WORKING TITLE IS SELF INDULGENCE CENTRAL WHY AM I FEELING BAD ABOUT INDULGING MYSELF #like why is it so hard to include the character that ive been imagining in this fic for the last week just because someone might judge me #no ones ever going to read this #its for me and just me why do i feel bad #ugh #im gonna go write him in and tell myself its fine #eli doesnt write sometimes

I was only ever a pawn to you, All too expendable. I tried to play your twisted game. Moving from square to square, Like the wooden puppet I was. But it was never enough.

I'd sliced myself open, Offered piece after piece. Eventually, I lost myself; Ran out of things to give. Your disappointment hurt the most, More than any punishment could.

Deciding to leave was so hard. But I jumped off your chess board, The most freeing day of my life. I expected to end up dead, But I landed alone and broken. Shoud I have been relieved or scared?

i hate fandom poll tournaments!! like actually

#these are nothing like the chuunin or hunter exams #or well they are but in the bad ways #theyre trying to kill each other for the chance to win a title that will change their entire lives #youre trying to kill each other bc. your blorbo lost mostlikelytoeatburgers contest???? #like..... alright i guess but i AM going to judge #and even the people who try to be civil get attacked so fucking much like is this worth it. is this genuinely worth the stress #the only poll i care about anymore is that one nobody poll w the traits and stuff #and my guy literally lost first round fhjdjfjdkg rip fellow detective fae #but yeah this is all the worst parts of fandom right out in the open and nobodys immune 😭 #like i get it i really do!! it sucks seeing your thing lose to something you view as undeserved #but have you seen the worldwide naruto polls. #people wont vote for the actual Reason the poll is running #they arent that moralistic in these things they arent all reading your propaganda and thinking Hmmm clearly this makes more sense #so i should vote #most of em are seeing 'omg it would be funnie to make anee may boys lose' and going haha yeah #so again i get seein your faves lose and trying to campaign for them can be emotional #but the people who get so..... its just all such a mess #the stakes really do not need to be this high

Girl help I really need to do the test tasks for a new job or else my life is gonna get very bad real soon, but all I want to do is draw ttrpg characters.

#majek says shit #ok so Im jobless since august but I had a safe amount saved to live a little too comfortably until about now #and now I have money left to live relatively normally until January and after that uhhhhh bad 0 money left #I got caught in a trap of “animators are always wanted in gamedev you'll find a job in 2 weeks” thing everyone seems to genuinely believe #turns out every studio on earth is looking for Seniors and Leads or 3D animators that turn out to be 3D generalists able to do everything #from concept to every kind of model optimised for games and texturing and rigging and mocap and keyframe stuff and vfx is also nice #and I'm like “hello am animator know how to make character move. i can give them skeleton but not necessarily if in 2D” #“have a few years of experience in gamedev but got fired just before the premiere of my one title that will list me as animator” #got fired along with many others because the publisher backed out and there was no money to keep most of the artists this close to launch #so far only two studios followed through with the recruitment. one makes casino games and asked me 3 questions through mail #they wanted to know why im looking for a job. have I heard about them before and how much I wanna earn. also added that my personality #should shine through my answers. sure xd. the other is a mocap studio and they want me to do a test. in software I last used 5 years ago #and its mocap which I dont like and know almost nothing about how to do it #and I WANNA DRAW. I made a disaster of a cleric to replace Cayden in the old party and Im itching to draw him properly #also there is secret satan and a whole queue of scenes from recent sessions #including the lase one when Cayden was possessed by an ancient wizard (?) for a few seconds and now has mild ptsd #there were such cool visuals there because he was connected to a tentacle that pierced the back of his neck and his eyes went black #and I had to fight the party from that moment. hit them once with a big fire damage spell and then passed a save. and then failed again #fortunately the party destroyed the artifact that did the posessing and it ended. but my boy simultaneously experienced some cosmic horror #beyond his comprehension. and kinda saw his own hands casting fire at his friends. all while he was fighting in his head with some tentacles #and being watched by first disembodied black eyes and then by a shadowy figure #now he has weird nightmares of more cosmic horror and gets uneasy if he looks at the night sky for too long ;o; #I also have a drawing of the party celebrating their promotion to captains and like 3-4 sketches and one other big scene #in which Cayden has a romantic tension moment with another character while casting prot from evil on them to save them from mind control #also I have a commission to finish that a friend paid for LAST NOVEMBER #but that mocap studio is waiting for this test for so long now I have to do it if its the last thing I do in my life
