Ladybug has far more patience than I to listen to Chloe’s new annoying catch phrase and not punch her in the face.

Based on Yamai:

#look I rewatched the first 3rd of Season 5 and all of Chloe's screen time is literally just repeating the same tired point #woman you didn't help even when you WERE called upon #OR when you DID help that was only against akumas CAUSED.

Always emotional about the fact that Atsushi never feels the need to force himself to be okay whenever he's around Akutagawa

YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look I already elaborated on this a bit in the tags here before but. The thing is that Atsushi doesn't even realize that he's so relieved to have found a guy that sucks so bad, who is his enemy and who he doesn't fear, he can finally drop the good guy facade he feels like he has to put up as a defense mechanism with everyone else. AND IT'S SO GOOD. And it's so good to see Atsushi's true colors, this snarky and even cocky I'd dare say side of him that he so rarely shows. And the fact that Akutagawa is the only one that can bring it to light!!! Just. AAAAAAAAHH.

#And I know it makes Atsushi look awful‚ but like. Atsushi *is* selfish. #It's been established since chapter 8‚ Atsushi saves others just for survival rather than any true altruistic intention. #It's one of the most compelling aspects of the character‚ his double nature. #atsushi nakajima #sskk #bsd #bungou stray dogs #people asks me stuff #They make me go insane I love them so much 😭😭😭 #shin soukoku #Edit: Check the reblogs for more!

On System Collapse, Sanctuary Moon, and saving one another.

I said the other day that System Collapse might be my new favorite Murderbot book. The first time I thought that was in the middle of chapter eight, the chapter where Murderbot and its humans make a documentary to show the colonists what the Corporation Rim is like. The whole book was good, but that was the chapter that felt like it was reaching out to me the most.

The thing that struck me about it is how Murderbot saves the colonists with media. It was saved by media—Sanctuary Moon helped it rewire its neural tissue, process its trauma, find a place for itself in the world. And coming up with the idea of using media to convince the colonists is what drags it out of the depressive state it’s been in for the entire book up to that point, and lets it start to feel hopeful again. It literally tells us in its narration that the emotional reactions it has when it comes up with this idea are similar to the ones it had watching Sanctuary Moon for the first time. The thought of creating its own media, of finding a way to tell the truth and be listened to, of being able to keep people from being trapped in the corporate world it knows all too well, is just as much of a lifeline for it as Sanctuary Moon was.

Murderbot has been been feeling like a failure as a SecUnit for the entire book, and it finds its way out of that not through regaining its normal SecUnit competence but through art. Something it was never meant to experience or understand, let alone create, but something that shaped who it is. It takes the thing that saved it and turns it around to save others—and saves itself again, in the process.

And the other thing that jumped out at me, thinking about chapter eight, is that so many of us have been saved by media, too. So many of us have been saved by Murderbot, in big and small ways. I’m certainly one of them. Murderbot and the community of readers who love it gave me the space to stop and consider some things that (not unlike Murderbot) I hadn’t really been willing to examine. And now I get to figure myself out in a community full of aspec people who understand. Murderbot has given that opportunity to a lot of people.

Martha Wells has talked in interviews about how parts of Murderbot were based on herself. She says, in her introduction to the Subterranean Press edition, that media “probably saved [her] life as a kid,” including the kind of media that isn’t “cool” to be saved by. We’ve seen that in Murderbot ever since the very first line of All Systems Red. What we saw in chapter eight of System Collapse goes a step further. It makes me want to hold a mirror up—I hope Wells was aware, when she was writing it, that what Murderbot does for the colonists is something she’s done for a lot of others.

The colonists that Murderbot saves with its documentary are not real people. That scene, of course, is fiction. But it’s the kind of fiction that’s true in all the ways that matter.

I really love Murderbot. Not in a weird way. 💜

#stars has thoughts #system collapse #system collapse spoilers #murderbot #murderbot meta #the murderbot diaries #i was having so many emotions when reading chapter 8 #i paused after that chapter and wrote a draft of the second and third paragraphs of this post #it's about the parallels. between murderbot and its own past self #between murderbot and Wells. between murderbot and us. #it really genuinely made me want to hold that scene up to Martha Wells and say #you know that you did this for us‚ right?? #you know that you're saving people too?

i just caught up with a breach of trust and I don't even know WHAT to say. thank you? jesus christ? oh my god? my husband and friends all hate me bc I won't shut up about it? I've never read a fanfic that could hold a candle? a match even? I've been reading in all my spare time. I've had dreams bc it's the last thing I'm thinking about at night. then I read more over breakfast. WOW? wowowowow? thank you again?

(A Breach of Trust)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank you for being as brain-rotted as I am over this Utter Behemoth of a fic!! It's woven into the fabric of my being at this point.

I've poured my heart and soul into it and it means so so much to me, so hearing that OTHER people are like, bothering the people in their OWN lives about it? Wow. I'm very happy over the notion that there are strangers who know vaguely of ABoT because their loved one wanted to tell them all about it.

I've really loved building it up from an empty Word document. I'm really happy and lucky other people have come along for that. Thank you!!

#A Breach of Trust #ABoT #isa-ah #and there IS more to come #at least 5 more chapters #which in writer speak probably means 7 or 8 #its been on hiatus for life-reasons and not for lost-interest reasons #in fact that 'woven into the fabric of my being' thing-- #you know that thing where you listen to an old song and it nostalgia-BLASTS you with your life from that period? #stuff ive written does that for me #ABoT ESPECIALLY #its followed me so far #and i had some life changes which made it hard to pick up the next chapter #since it blasts me with 'REMEMBER how things used to be' #but im untangling that #and making progress on ch48 #ALSO. I AM EATNG THAT FANART YOU MADE #I SAW IT RIGHT BEFORE THAT #IM DOING CARTWHEELS ABOUT IT

I see what kind of character genre Fujimoto is currently obssessed with

#Denji #Yoshida Hirofumi #Asa Mitaka #CSM #Chainsawman #Chainsaw Man #this is like.... 7-8 chapters apart? which means months apart so

[dlartistanon]

I'm so looking forward to this because I love seeing my faves animated. Blaze jumping out of a helicopter? Mon3ter coming out of Kal'tsit's spine for the first time? GreyThroat being conflicting? Sewer rat Lin? Hoshiguma holding up two stories' of rubble? Eno and Sasha? Princess of the Yetis Yelena?

Also Nine gets a voice before she escapes NPC jail, trust me, my dog works at Hypergryph

#dltext #i'm excited but... #man i have so many concerns about them adapting chapters 4-6 in 8 episodes??? #they're gonna need to have astronomically good directing to have it make sense #reunion arc needs plenty of buildup to have the emotional gut punches have impact #i legit cried over frostnova (and talulah); they deserve to have their stories not be rushed #faust and frostnova will be their first trials to see if they can actually do this

About writing smut: once you get in the flow and start picturing the scene in your head, it gets so much easier.

If you find it hot, there's a chance others will, too.

Sometimes, I wish I could get straight to the point, but there's this inherent beauty in two people exploring each other and their intimacy, and I just cannot bypass that.

There's no such thing as too much smut. If you can write a scene from start to finish, that just feels realistic and right, then there is no wrong 🩷

Write what you want to read. That's the biggest advice I have to give. The moment you let go of the fear of it being too much, you are truly free to explore the amazing and unlimited world of erotica.

#ruby rambles ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ #I'm in love with chapter 8 so far #I want to be as thorough as possible and I feel like I'm getting there 🩷 #some of you ask me tips on writing smut so I hope this helps 🩷

"average Aurora chapter has 33.7 pages" factoid actualy just statistical error. average Aurora chapter has 0 pages. Daybreak Georg, who lives in cave with a psychic slime, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#to be clear on the actual math‚ chapters 4‚ 5‚ 6‚ 8‚ and 18 all fall in the range of 22-27 pages #so chapter 22 kind of just balances those out; the average before chapter 22 was actually 32 1/3 #aurora comic
