#how it should have ended - take 2

[gncrezan]

some old @chrysanthemumgames hermes-seph sketches!!! some of it is established-relationship daydreaming but also a peek at my dark and twisted mind (sprawling intricate spidey au)

#colored that top left one for my sidebar. lol. #a/tsv release made me so sick about spider-man you had to be there. im still on my bullshit but its a little more maintained #mostly bc a/tsv actually came out and i was attacked by every terrible take ever. some of u should not consume media #i know its rich coming from the IF player who enjoys romance but not everything is about romance or self insertion or ocs #miguel tag was UNUSABLE. IM TRYING TO BLOG ABOUT HIS HYPOCRISY AND SEE FANART. NOT SEE FANFICTION!!!!!! #also coming out as the biggest raimispidey2 mj speech enjoyer. im sorry. raimi trilogy is a bit messy to me BUT #if u take the mj speech at the end of 2 then it is. SO SO SO CUTE TO ME. (ignore the context its in pls) #also how her first comic appearance was IN HIS DOORWAY TOO!!!! #of course it was quite easy to project that onto sephmes from my brain so. here we are #talking mostly about raimipetermj rn. but hermes is simply not a Nerd like maguire's pete. so some insp from 616 #but comics p/etermj is its own can of worms. i am taking bits and pieces of spideymedia i like and making my own sandcastle ok #sorry for spidey meta in the foa post i will shut up nyeow #fields of asphodel #foa #hermes #seph #and also i think hermes would make a crazy mj (the association with red and how intensely similar they are with how they present themselves #but the fact is . i really really love drop dead gorgeous seph who is wanted by everyone. its true. im one of them #<- i say this like the s in seph doesn't stand for s/pider-man. i have plenty of spideyseph doodles in the archive

Man, starting a new playthrough makes you realise just how truly sick Arthur was towards the end..

#hi!!! yes I'm doing my second playthrough!! #I'm so excited #oh how much I missed arthur #his sun-kissed skin and glassy eyes and how they faded breaks my heart #I probably should have explored more as john but I don't want to do ranch work for 8 dollars a day no offence #we got our happy endings #micah is gone and john has his family ranch #its so jarring playing as john and expecting arthur reactions #you have to keep reminding yourself that its not arthur #and that john is slightly meaner than him #I enjoyed it so much though I'm really excited #I'm gonna take my time like last time but I'm gonna discover every little secret this game has to offer #yippee!!!!! #mick squeaks #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #arthur morgan #liveblogging #red dead redemption 2 spoilers

My hottest White Lotus take is that i don’t think anything happened between Harper and Cameron. Harper lied about something happening to make Ethan feel as crazy and paranoid as she did when he refused to come clean about the hookers and drugs. Either way, it ends with them in the same fucked up mind games as Daphne and Cameron, but I was genuinely shocked Harper didn’t dangle the possibility in Ethan’s face, forcing him to either admit or hide his affair with Daphne and putting them back on the same metaphorical playing field.

#white lotus #white lotus season 2 #i really like how ambiguous the ending was btw #this is just my take #and I genuinely blame ethan for the degradation of their relationship #like harper was so excited to get behind closed doors and talk shit an his annoying college roommate #and he was soo insistent that she play nice despite the red flags #she did everything ‘right’ to get his attention #while also being played be AUBREY PLAZA #and he still acted like trash #get the men out of here #harper and daphne should have run away together #don’t get me started in portia #she is me AND she is my baby #leave her alone u monsters

in fic news i realised that i've accidentally commited myself to several scenes of jotunn!sylvie porn rather than just the one that i'd initially added mainly for the weirdness factor

#oops #having stupidly made a point of her hiding the blue i need to let the blue run free by the time they get to the happy ending don't i? #on the plus side this is a happy ending where nobody has to kill thor! ...because he already died before the fic even started :( #The Sylki Arranged Marriage AU #i also have to carefully make sure they don't kiss at any point during the 3 1/2 sex scenes that take place before their first kiss #another of my stupid decisions (so far) is a subplot that might enrage all three of the loki/sigyn shippers #my outline is for 16 chapters but i have the nagging suspicion that civil wars should last longer than sex scenes so...??? #(yeah i read a lot about the wars of the roses but i skip most of the boring bits about battles and that sort of shit) #(i am there for THE DRAMA. for the SOAP OPERA. just tell me who died this time so i can update my chart of Dramatic Persons) #(that's english for Dramatis Personae. or at least it should be. the more Dramatic persons are nearer the top of such lists aren't they?) #(anyway this fic isn't about the wars of the roses but one of the chapter titles is The Kingmaker which was an accidental pun btw) #(how accidental? well i only just this moment realised that it's a pun if that gives you some idea of how well-planned this fic is) #none of that shit's in the next chapter tho that one's about frigga being a bitch and sif being hot LOLOLOLOL YOLO OR SOMETHING

In today's "all the ways Levi makes Gortash's life insufferable":

Levi is beautiful, charming and sleeps around a lot. And he has no morals or shame.

So...

Levi would flirt with banites. And while most would hate this arrogant asshole, some would be charmed by him because he has that effect on people. You either love him or hate him, but it's hardly possible to stay indifferent.

What to say, I def see a picture of some banite being swoon by Levi, Gortash catching up on it, being extremely annoyed (for some reason. Just some reason. No one knows why, truly. A mystery!) and teaching his subordinate a lesson.

Said lesson would include Gortash fucking very willing Levi in front of said banite while the poor guy can only watch and is not allowed to even move.

Bonus point if at the height of ecstasy Levi murmurs "Enver, can I?" in this sweet pleading voice of his, and so Gortash allows him to kill his subordinate. Because the lesson and all the sex made Levi very, very thirsty for some blood. And maybe, just maybe, because the lesson is not enough, nothing would be enough, this guy needs to die and to die in pain.

#durgetash #dark urge: levi #the dark urge x enver gortash #catch gortash punishing ppl for having Emotions #for simply daring to admire Levi. it's even worse then its people from his own church bc he is their Superior #they should know their place #how many people levi has killed without actually killing them? #meanwhile bhaalists are like: obv. lord leviathan is a catch. we WISH he'd lay with us. Dying in the bed with him would be a blessing #It happened before. Levi has messed around with several of his cultists and it always ended in murder ecstasy taking over him #and him murdering them #there's something so profoundly wrong with these 2 i want to study them under the microscope

Honestly tragic that Light went down the path he did in the 2nd half bc in the beginning Tobias would've really liked him. He wholeheartedly agrees that the only way to bring REAL "justice" is by making sure the perpetrator will never be able to do evil again, which will never be achievable through lawful means like incarceration (especially in cases where they're connected to a bigshot who can bail them out) so the only way to truly get rid of evil is, like Light figured, through kiIIing them all

#muse: tobias. #Ironically enough Tobias thinks Light isn't (wasn't) harsh enough in his 'judgements'. HE would've made sure they suffer WAY more #I think the biggest differences between Tobias and Light are that 1) Tobias doesn't view himself as a 'God' or anything of the sort; #though he doesn't hurt innocent people for fun or money like they do; he views himself as not THAT different from his enemies #I mean sure he's disgusted by 99% of them but he's aware he does many things the faint of heart would never be able to stand looking at too #2) Light does everything as if he's not involved. He sets out 'judgements' to people who are far away; through more indirect means #whereas Tobias is much more involved. He PERSONALLY sets time aside to deliver the payback to the people who are in high positions #Most of the time he makes sure their last ever conversation is w him. Sometimes their death is remote (but still horrible; i.e explosions) #other times it's by his hands in which case they Wish they could've died like that ^ instead bc his torture isn't Only physical #3) Light doesn't care who he has to discard; being willing to kiII even his closest allies who would never think of turning on him #whereas Tobias would Never abandon his true allies like that. He knows damn well how hard to get across they are and he treasures them #so he's willing to take heavy losses to save them if need be; and certainly won't ever discard them the way Light would #4) Tobias knows damn well that by doing what he's doing it means he's eventually going to end up dead like his enemies and he's fine w that #meanwhile Light seriously thought he would conquer the world; have nothing happen to him whatsoever; then die a peaceful death #I should write a proper meta on the similarities and differences between Light (+L) and Tobias sometime bc I keep thinking about them

Creative Goals for 2024.

Posting this here to force some accountability to myself. I hate new years resolutions, and I have no end of trouble with long-term goals setting. Nevertheless, I want to take the time this year to actually ENJOY creativity.

Finish a Novel

Actually mix

#~10% done with the novel based on estimated word count #Although given how everything is ending up 2-3x longer than I anticipated that may be closer to 3-4%... #But at an average of 500 words a day should take me ~6 months #So even if I can only make myself write every OTHER day I should still be able to :3 #Mixing... That's a bit harder #No cdj's to start with for example! (I have that tribe dj thing on steam that works) #(granted it means that even 5-10 minutes results in a migraine - not an ideal thing to try mixing edm with!) #But that's two very different creative endeavors #Hoping I can get at least one of them done :P

(before the post starts: to everyone who follows me for stranger things i’m sorry you have to deal with my random adventures into other fandoms — this is for the marauders fandom so if you don’t care about that feel free to scroll 💞 and also as always fuck jkr)

me: this fic is going to be so fucking full of angst and jealousy and toxicity with rosekiller endgame

also me:

It’s silent for a moment— Barty convinced the Gryffindor’s eyes could bore into his soul if he let him stare long enough. “You’ve never needed to simply feel something, Potter?”

-

[Barty] lowered his voice, a hand almost absently reaching up to the other boy’s face. His middle finger ran down his jawline. “What does [Regulus] see in you?”

“What-?”

“He’s never looked at me the way he looks at you. What are you doing that I wasn’t?”

-

“I can move. Do you want-“

“No, stay.” James laid back down. It was dark, but Barty reached up anyway. His hand started in James’ hair then ran down to his cheek. His middle finger traced his jaw again— like it had that night on the tower. “I can see what he sees in you now.”

me in some tags AFTER i wrote the stuff above:

BRO OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES YOU SHIP IT AND THIS IS HAPPENING

#i drafted this at like 2:30am lmao #enjoy the chaos #HOW IS THAT PLATONIC KARSON HOW #also james is very much dating regulus during all of this and barry knows that #barty* if my phone doesn’t stop autocorrecting barty to barry i will set it on fire #this was completely an accident #but at this point it would make no sense to not have darksun endgame #more specifically it’ll be starkillerchaser #at least i think that’s the ship name for regulus x barty x james #barty is deeply disturbed in this fic because evan started playing games when he was tired of barty’s games #he can dish it but he can’t take it yk #i was about to say evan might be ooc in this but like canonically we have nothing so i can make him act however i want #but like i’m not making him the bad guy #just two dudes who don’t know how to healthily communicate their feelings then everything gets jumbled up #maybe i’ll change my mind and have james be like ‘barty you’re latching onto me because i helped you’ #and rosekiller does end up being endgame #who knows man i just go with the flow because the characters never wanna follow my outlines #if you see this and read all these tags lmk your opinion on what i should do #can’t guarantee i’ll commit but i’d like the input #darksun #barty crouch jr #james fleamont potter #wizarding world #userkarson #karson writes things sometimes

about to watch an hour & a half long video titled "Why How To Train Your Dragon 3 Is Not Good" & I feel so fucking vindicated right now

#I'M GONNA SAY IT: HTTYD 3 SUCKS ASS. I'M RIGHT & I SHOULD SAY IT #like from a writer's standpoint it sucks but ALSO from a viewer's standpoint. HTTYD 2 & 3 just aren't very good #i mean obviously 3 is waaaay worse than 2 but both take any & all character development from 1 & kinda throw it in the garbage #& i think because 1 was so good it just set the bar so high. but then again #Riders of Berk. Defenders of Berk. & RTTE were all very good shows with like less than a quarter the budget of the movies #why did the shows have better characterization & development than the actual main movies? #you cannot imagine my disappointment when they were like ''whatever let's just slap Ruff with Snotlout or Fishlegs at the end'' #Snotloud & Fishlegs are bisexual & dating. this is the only version of canon i will accept #the shows gave me that why can't the movies??? #yes they literally kiss in the show. yes you need to watch it right now #idk i feel like in the movies hiccup is the only character. everyone is a background character to him #& his characterization isn't even consistent with the first movie #he unlearns how to draw. he fucking unlearns how to draw because he's too cool for loser hobbies now. i'm going to kill someone

Howdy Caroline, I saw a post about Talk shop Tuesday so I thought I'd be nosy on main. I wonder, how does research factor into your fic writing, and what was the most taxing research you had to do for a fic? 🐸

oooh hi, iva!!! thank you so much for shooting the ask--god knows i always love talking about fic!

to answer your question: i think most of my fic-related research is limited to "what episode did character x do this/say that", just so that i have the timeline of events down. i know it's not the end of the world if i don't perfectly remember how a certain scene went down, but i can't help it--i like being precise when it comes to at least recalling canon events.

outside of that specific brand of research (just making sure my timeline/recitation of quotes is all set), i'll sometimes do wilder research for like ... au projects that are set in a different time. that doesn't happen often (i think the reason why i tend not to write au's that are set other than present day is specifically because i get overwhelmed by the amount of research to be done), but when it does, i'm usually stuck researching for hours. that's probably why i just never got around to posting this one period jwds au i have. the plot keeps shifting, mostly to suit the research that i've done. deep sigh. one day i swear i'll finish writing that story and post it, but right now it's just gotten a little away from me. it's marinating.

outside of that story though, i think i've been lucky enough to not need to do too much research for fics . . . maybe that'll change one day (especially if i ever fall in love with a more period-drama-esque story), but ! ! ! as of now, i think my research time really only takes up 10 - 15% of my fic writing process.

#answered #thank u for the ask iva!!! <333 #i do also. write suits fic every once in a while #and sometimes i do get tempted to just like. write a funny bantery scene of mike and harvey talking about. funny corporate law stuff #because i just think it's fun to talk about. #i think one day i want to write a leverage/suits crossover #of nate ford and harvey specter pissing each other off. just so much. #of harvey going ':) if someone is upset with a corporation they can just sue us :) take us to court. sure. let's see what happens' #and nate going ':) you know full well :) that a lawsuit :) will :) never :) go :) anywhere :)' #and parker going 'so yeah why is that.' #cue everyone looking at her and parker shrugging bc 'listen i am a thief. i don't actually care about law stuff. but we're stuck in this #elevator for at least another 2 minutes.' #(because hardison would be working on it with parker.) #and then nate gives the run-down on why corporate 'litigation' really just ends in a dead-end for 98% of cases #and the system is specifically built that way #and then also cue nate and hardison and parker point-blank calling harvey out for hiring a fraudster. #nate: you should have been disbarred for at least a dozen violations of the rules of professional conduct #harvey: YOU are telling ME how to be a lawyer. YOU. the actual THIEF. #nate: yes because at least thieves don't have actual rules that they need to follow. u really want to go there. #and that really would be. the dumbest fic i'd ever write. but i just think it'd be funny

#went out on the town tonight to the so-called sketchiest area (i find it delightful) #met some friends at a café and then we strolled for a while #ended up at a cute french bar and drank orange wine #then headed to a famous noodle place and bumped into some other people they knew who joined us #the five of us ate noodles and i had an intense conversation with a mexican woman #we were discussing the way the complaint about 'immigrants not learning the language' can be understood two ways #as an american i'm very sensitive to that phrase because i'm accustomed to it being used as a subtle indicator of anti-immigrant sentiment #and here in germany it's unfortunately often used that way too so i always look closely at anyone who says that #but she pointed out that in mexico you kind of just do have to learn spanish if you want to live there successfully #so when she hears germans saying 'immigrants should learn german' she just thinks 'well yeah of course we should' #and i said yeah fair point #i think two important distinctions are 1) why did the immigrants in question come to a different country #and 2) how do we treat them when they don't learn their new country's language very rapidly #because i may be a hypocrite but i'll be honest: #i feel very differently toward a rich white american who comes to berlin 'because it's just so cool' #and doesn't put much effort into learning german 'because everyone speaks english anyway' #than i do towards a refugee who comes here fleeing death and already speaks e.g. both arabic and english #i'm inclined to give the latter a lot more leeway #sure they should do their best to learn german soon if they're planning to stay here for good #but i personally refuse to judge them in the slightest if they take a little while to make that happen #cosmo gyres #personal #language #immigration

My Hot-Take/Controversial Ranking of Doctor Who Seasons (excluding specials bc my special order is really unhinged)

3 > 1 > 10 > 4 > 5 > 8 > 11 > 12 > 9 > 7b > 2 > 6 > 13 = 7a

Disclaimer: I have favorite episodes that come from every single season on this list, including 7a. For example, even though Season 6 is low on the list, the God Complex, Almost People/Rebel Flesh, and Impossible Astronaut are some of my favorite of the show. I do really love the Power of Three. These are based on season arc/average feeling per episode/rewatchability on a subjective level.

#doctor who #listen seasons 1 and three are basically perfect television for me #season 10 is one of the most fun of the show and bill is my second favorite companion and I love the twelve/missy arc #season 4 is full of banger after banger and journey's end slaps it just doesn't quite hit for me personally like seasons 1 3 and 10 do #season 5 has some episodes i don't like (victory of the daleks for example) but the fairytale vibes/beast below/amy's choice/big bang SLAP #Season 8 has some great episodes/good arc but i just really don't vibe with how cruel the Doctor is sometimes/Danny deserved better #Season 11 (other than fucking kerblam) i really enjoy! it has some weak writing in places but i love graham&ryan's arc & the smaller vibes #Season 12 is objectively better than season 11 but has weaker character arcs and some weaker episodes so eh #season 9 has one of the best finales in the show/some fun two-parters (i adore under the lake/before the flood) but the arcs feel off #7b is...fun & i like a lot of the episodes but i don't like the name/day/time of the doctor & it drags it down + clara's not fleshed out #season 2 is so good in places (cybermen 2-parter/school reunion/new earth) but has so many weak episodes & not as much character developmen #season 6...I love some episodes but I DESPISE the pregnancy arc/let's kill hitler/wedding of river song & how little agency Amy & river hav #season 13 is just...FINE. I enjoy some of the side characters (vinder bel karvanista) but the flux itself felt weirdly...boring? no emotion #(Jodie was SO GOOD in this season though btw) #and season 7a...asylum of the daleks dinosaurs on a spaceship & angels take manhattan are on my least favorite episodes list. like bottom 1 #and I'm sorry but a town called mercy and power of three can't save that #amy and rory should have left with the god complex/christmas special and popped back like martha did in season 4 #i said what i said #wow i really went off in the tags on this one #meta #rankings

#somewhere in here there's a fic where it's like. max is having the best year of his career while daniel is having the worst #which leads to daniel kind of isolating himself and pushing max away #max of course is very practical and figures if daniel doesn't want to be around him he shouldn't force it #so they kind of drift for a while #then all the mclaren stuff is happening over summer break and max WANTS to be there for daniel #wants to know what's going on; wants to know that daniel is going to stay in f1 #but they're more distant than ever so what is he supposed to do! #then we get that interview in spa where he's like 'i HOPE he stays but idk what he wants' #and like. that lowkey devastates daniel cause of all people MAX should know how much daniel still wants this #but he's a bit too proud to just TELL max that he misses how they used to be #so instead he goes literally insane in zandvoort trying to show him #obviously max doesn't *really* get it so dan does take 2 in monza. that works a little better cause he's actually using his words this time #more stuff happens and then obviously this all ends with them falling in love and getting married (INTENTIONALLY) in vegas next year :') #maxiel #singapore22 #answered #anonymous #tags
