Got a very special Vampire Wall Update for y'all!! I'm so excited to have @killer-laurent's brilliant art, based on my fic Out, Damned Spot

My heart is so full of love for all my fandom friends that made this happen— my fellow Louis stan @wicked-felina, who commissioned Laurent, and my love @monstersinthecosmos who gifted me this super shiny metal print that literally pops off the wall.

I feel so honored to have 3 different fan arts from 3 incredible artists on my wall, but this one especially makes me happy dance every time I look at it because I've never had anything made based on my writing so it just feels like such an act of love from all of my favorite people.

ahjsdgbksdahcf okay that's enough sap for now but anyway happy new year and thank you so so so so much to Kacy for this glorious addition to my Vampire Wall :)

#it's literally shinier than my fucking glass-paned portraits LOL do you have any idea how hard it was to get these pics #the gold is just so so gorgeous in person and ties in so well with the gold iwtv movie art #actually back to being a sap for one more minute: i was just thinking about how around this time last year #was when i first moved into this place #and before unpacking any of my boxes the first thing i did was hung up my art #and during a meeting with our bipoc affinity space (which is just a chill space at work) one of the ice breaker questions was like #what makes you feel safe? #and i lowkey teared up because i was like. curating my environment is what makes me safe like no matter where i am in the world #if i can look up and be reminded of the things that i love i don't feel so overwhelmed #having a wall with my favorite things gifted from my favorite people is so so so special i cannot overstate that enough #anyway i'm out here crying in the club thank you and goodnight #fan art #killer-laurent #fave #absolute fave

At only thirty two years of age, Louis Tomlinson has made quite the life for himself—he has his dream job, a place all his own, a nice car, and all the people closest to him are seeing success of their own. The only big thing he's missing now is having the right partner and starting a family with them, although he figures he has plenty of time for that yet. That is, until his best mate, Harry, comes to him with a proposition. Or: what happens when you become your best friend's baby daddy.

writing my 10th essay to my friends on how frustrating it is to watch fans and hgs alike downplay and undermine the distress women face from being stuck around men who make them uncomfortable while simultaneously needing to retain those very men’s approval / favor for any number of valid personal and professional (ie game) reasons but not clicking send bc it’s 4am and their sweet unsuspecting selves don’t deserve to wake up to that

#bb25 #it’s mostly on twitter but god i’m so tired #the vilification of america for existing both as a gamer and a woman ends HERE ! #like take a fucking wgss course idk what to tell you anymore if you don’t get why cameron making her uncomfortable & wanting to work w/ him #are two things that can coexist esp given this specific house dynamic & america’s current place in it #not to mention ppl who still bring up her & izzy shirting on cam (prior to him ramping up his harassment) only for america to softly walk #it back when l8r speaking to cory (AFTER telling him he wouldn’t get it as a man mind u) as some sort of gotcha … like yea why wouldn’t #she walk it back negative things she said about cam to cory who at the time had a positive perception of cam? #cory is also a MAN in this house and this game #you don’t have to like america or appreciate that she is in opposition to your faves to not completely miss the bigger picture #and regurgitate misogynistic talking points that blame women for men’s poor behavior

Being a woc fan of Bridgerton can be a struggle, especially when it comes to liking the poc characters on the show, especially the woc. Like I remember when s1 came out and the blatant microaggressions and just plain racism coming from this fandom was atrocious. You had people spewing very hateful things about Charlotte, Marina, and Simon and undermining the latter two's pain and trauma at the hands of the white characters---Marina was treated terribly by the Featheringtons and, whether you like Penelope or not, you cannot deny that she also played a part by releasing that letter to the Ton and Simon was violated Daphne no matter how people try to spin the story to offer her some form of sympathy (it still blows my mind that people would want to though).

S2 is just as bad (not even including how they changed the Sharma family's storyline than how it was in the books when that wasn't necessary) and the racist undertones many of the fans have towards Mary and Edwina (as well as Kate but for her it's carries more brown woman needing to be saved by a white man when Anthony is involved because a lot of you all in the fandom are quick to use this trope such as "oh, he's the only one who truly knows her"). The lack of screen time for this family really ends up hurting them to but even with that, whether you like Mary and Edwina or not, it would be a lie to deny the racism a lot in the fandom hold towards them (and how that falls onto the actresses because it was very apparent how many in the fandom couldn't let two Desi women shine without having to bring down the other and Netflix played into that too for drama) and paints every small thing they do as being terrible crimes but in the same breath will not have the same smoke for the Bridgertons, who have their own set of problems (but because they are also the main family, among other things, they are provided more grace without consequences).

#bridgerton #edwina sharma #kate sharma #mary sharma #marina thompson #queen charlotte #simon basset #like fandoms can be a very hostile place especially toward poc #and don't even get me started on some fans acting like they care about the poc characters but only still fall into the tropes i presented #im nervous for how this post will be received bc ngl when people call out the racist antics in bridgerton people love to downplay it #and that's just not right (for any fandom) #and this impacts actors too bc there should be no reason that charithra can hardly be excited about her role in the show #or how ruby had received so much hate that (probably) as a result had two breakdowns #on top of still being asked by polin and pen fans to denounce marina to uplift their white faves #dni if you can't have a calm conversation here #also seeing the creator of the show say for s3 kathony that there won't be as much angst #more happy couple scenes irks me in a way bc that amount of angst didn't have to flood s2 if they weren't so concerned with pointless drama #like the books themselves gave enough angst without the engaged to your sister plotline and such #also would have made anthony seem like less of a prick and actually respect a woman's honor but nope #don't even get me started on how it seems more common for the poc characters to have to gripe and struggle #(especially with things that....they should not be blamed for) at the hands of or as result of white characters #when in the same breath that courtesy isn't extended to said white characters #(e.g. marina having to push colin in pen's direction even though both failed her #to simon begin assaulted and then blamed for it by daphne and the narrative #to kate having to move mountains to grow (even though for most part she wasn't wrong) but don't even see anthony apologize for his actions) #all the actors especially the woc experience racism (and other forms of discrimination) from this fandom #i haven't even gotten into the shitshow from some fans towards simone and the actor who plays simon #as well as the racism the actresses for queen charlotte faced #a lot of yall need to do better

Sometimes, it makes me a bit sad that it's hard to be a fan and criticise something as well. It feels like you're either a die-hard or a hater.

I'd like to be able to criticise/ analyse the comics, prime, games etc. but you don't find people to do that with in the main tags. What I'm saying is I need my irl friends to be more familiar with Sonic so I can talk at them.

#whenever i drive my boyfriend places in the car he gets stuck with my music and me ranting about my fave/ least fave things about sonic #and hes not even allowed to stop me bc he cant drive and its my car so my rules #maybe we take a holiday so i can moan at him for 4 hours and eat a lot of sweets #dont tag the things mentioned in here we dont put critique in the tags it spoils fun #wonderincs

greens on twitter calling jaime a criston fanboy unironically is kinda sending me. he just knows a lot about knights and keeps infodumping to loras. like that man is not even the only one they talk about here. he describes him as someone that in some ways represents the best and the worst of the kg. it is quite a neutral stance. a parallel is meant to be drawn, yes: it is emphasizing the themes of legacy, kg as agents of state violence while also being individuals with agenct, and jaime and his holistic role in the narrative (and how the readers may interpret him), but like he is not hero worshipping here in the slightest. he romanticizes a lot of knights, he even acknowledges this:

criston’s not really one of them though. he never mentions him outside of when he is reading his wiki page. this is not an arthur dayne situation in the slightest. in fact, while i acknowledge the kingmaker thing having some potential for foreshadowing, especially with faegon/aegon name parallel in the mix + indirect results of valonqar (ntm king bran in the long term), I also think it refers to events that already occured. jaime has already stated: “I have made kings and unmade them.” this can be referring to robert, joff, and now tommen, to varying extents. which is interesting to look at considering how these respective rulers are like, the consequences of their rule, and how that reflects on the ones that serve and represent them. this is something that barristan for example struggles with more overtly

#hotd twt and their insistence on recruiting og characters for their cause pls give me a break 😭 #i promise u u can enjoy ur faves without doing that lmao #jaime lannister #valyrianscrolls #asoiaf #criston cole #there r ways u can connect and compare and contrast these two butlets not lie guys #god bless #and dont get me started about how every time jaime directly parallels himself to someone it is in a negative light #it is usually bitter self loathing moments #this is not direct tho like he does not compare himself to him he actually places himself in the ‘worst’ category here #it is the reader that is meant to make that connection imo

shame, devotion, and venxiao

it is not a sin to want.

yet somehow, there is such shame to it.

maybe it's just me, but "desire" is such a loaded word. i think that's why i find it so difficult to deal with. to want something so earnestly, from so deep within one's heart… how is that not simply THE most mortifying thing on the planet?

it's kind of funny. xiaoven— though most particularly xiao— must come to terms with their selfish desires that are not going to go away n be vulnerable w/each other abt their ugliest selves in order to be accepted n truly loved, at which point shame loses its incredible power over them, and they can be together forever in love for realsies.

because it's easy to imagine a xiao, who, out of love and devotion towards venti, his savior and the god of freedom, might feel like he can only express the sheer depth of his emotions by tugging down the stiff collar of his shirt to bare his own neck for execution.

(that is how one feels towards a god, is it not? this sort of vulnerability, a willingness to die for them, born from a desire to be good.)

and i use the imagery of undressing and invoke the sense of waiting for someone else's actions upon you intentionally here. it ties xiao's sense of intimacy up with power over his life, and as a being who struggles to separate his very sense of self from violence itself, i think it would make sense that death and intimacy are linked to him.

i think a big reason why he's so reluctant to give up his duty to someday die quelling demons for the peace and prosperity of liyue is because he's afraid that wanting something, anything might break the centuries of rigid discipline that's kept him alive after all this time. to love something, to want something, is to then die for it.

and like. i think it's pretty obvious that venti would not want to hold that power over xiao, if xiao tried to express his love by essentially giving over his entire life into venti's hands. it's so lacking in boundaries on xiao's end that even if that's what xiao himself wants, it would ultimately be the most horrifying (yet still earnest!!!) show of devotion to venti.

and so. it's probably fairly obvious from all this that this push-n-pull of desires is part of what makes xiao n venti's relationship so compelling to me personally. they're arguing abt things that are so deeply a part of them: xiao's self-destructive obedience vs. venti's bleeding heart and ideal of freedom. it's kind of... dare i say... yaoi.

obviously, in the context of fandom, there is a difference btwn xiaoven and venxiao. like, technically it's about top and bottom discourse, but outside of nsfw contexts, it's more about power dynamics, about who follows and who leads in a relationship.

i tend not to care too much, since i get weirded out if it feels too… overt? controlling? one-sided? n it starts feeling like the characters are just becoming bastardized "Any Two Guys."

but, like, as may be obvious by the common ship name being xiaoven, fandoms typically have a preference. it makes sense— xiao is v physically strong, n he has this very curt, no-nonsense, straightforward way of doing things, while venti is usually mistaken for a girl by people new to genshin. in concept, it could be fun to see xiao lead a more uncertain venti around n be the more decisive, aggressive pursuer of the relationship.

HOWEVER. relationships are based in feelings n are therefore much more human things. that is definitely not smth xiao is familiar with or experienced in at all. that is venti's area of expertise.

n xiao is a character i like to characterize by his devotion n his obedience. he's not the type to come up w/a procedure for acting in situations where he is totally unfamiliar w/what's happening bc his procedure will probably be aggressive "hit it 'till it dies." in situations involving others, he can't do that, so he's left pretty helpless in situations all about ~feelings~ and stuff.

now, venti is the more human one, in the sense that he has a much greater understanding of how we chase our whims on the breeze. he knows how to navigate these kinds of emotional, dare i say intimate, situations— which is why xiao would look to him for guidance in navigating these things. he wants to be told what to do bc he is a weapon, a violent tool w/no agency of his own (or at least as he likes to think).

xiao's repression is very internalized. he knows he is someday doomed, so why bother letting himself want anything. (why dare to hope when he doesn't believe himself worthy of venti's love in return?)

despite the horrifying levels of devotion i believe xiao to be capable of, i also firmly believe that he can later learn to rein in the self-destructive aspects of it w/o diminishing the value of those feelings. there's something oh-so lovely about self-love taught through loving others and others loving you, about watching something self-destructive and dangerous fall victim in love to something that can withstand its horrors and love it anyway, love it enough to make destroying itself no longer feel worth it.

after all, one of the most romantic answers one could give to the old, "i would die for you" absolutely has to be, "we are going to make it out of this together."

and in my opinion, that's pretty venxiao.

#xiaoven #i've been agonizing over how to adapt this for tumblr bc it was originally a diary entry from almost two years ago now #but it's kind of a prerequisite reading for one of my fave xv essays; the one abt 'no switch' that i've been wanting to xpost for MONTHS #the other reason this one's been crazy hard to adapt is bc i built it off a bit of unpublished fic i was working on actively at the time #but i'm not abt to analyze my own unpublished fic here on tumblr for meta so i had to extricate it (difficult) #long post #this post is still kind of all over the place which makes sense. i'm very all over the place and its origins as a diary entry #obvs make it very personal. and also subsequently all over the place. hopefully i balanced the personal aspects properly

Okay i know i already made a Ghostface x Reader prompt with an author situation but idc!!

Reader being a popular horror author and Jed being a big fan, like goes to book signings, midnight drops, owns every novel , etc

Maybe Reader and him have gone out a few times, youve gotten to know him all these years- maybe have gone out to drinks a few times here and there , helped you develop ideas, maybe hes even won himself a little dedication in a book he helped brainstorm on

i think theres a bunch of different paths that could be taken tbh

[imma putem in the tags] 🏃‍♂️

#danny johnson x reader #ghostface x reader #maybe you tell him you dont know what to do for your next book and he decides to gave you a small scare to get the gears turning #maybe tou say you dont want to write anymore and he uses Ghostface as uhhh more of an incentive to keep writing #maybe tou go back to his or your place and fuck #mAYBE HE ROLEPLAYS THE SLASHER FROM ONE OF YOUR OWN BOOKS WAIT OMG HAHA OOO #okay heres another version but im not sure HOW reader would do this tbh but maybe Danny finds some books #that have some Very specific details from some of his earliest murders that one one should know about and yet here you are #OR danny recognizes you as his fave author in the Realm whether you dissappeared first or him idk either way hes fanboying a little bit
