YOU ASKED AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE

(this is going to be Long so prepare yourself XD)

Murderbot Diaries:

I have no idea if you've ever read the murderbot diaries books by martha wells (which, if you havent and have any sort of interest in science fiction PLEASE READ THEM THEYRE SO FUN) but the character of secunit is SO ghost coded its not even funny

for those unaware: secunit is short for security unit, which in the world of murderbot are partially artificial and partially human constructs created as cheap labor. secunits are considered property rather than people, despite being totally sentient. they are not, however, autonomous. secunits have a thing called a "governor module" that will essentially fry their brains if they do anything to go against the company/their client's orders. secunits can be repaired and reissued to new clients, so the whole thing is just super fucked up

anyway, back to the au. ghost, like murderbot, manages to disable his governor module somehow and is able to act completely autonomously. however, he's been so Fucked Up by you know... being a secunit, that he doesnt exactly know how to be autonomous or his own person, so he just. Doesnt. and he continues to protect clients as they come up, doing his best to hide the fact that hes able to act freely.

enter the 141 survey crew, who are his latest group of clients that hes been tasked with protecting. its a much smaller group than he's used to, only seven members compared to dozens and dozens, but that means he's the only secunit sent along which is for the better tbh. the members of the survey include laswell, price, gaz, soap, farah, alex, and roach.

for once in ghost's life, he's not treated as a looming threat or an inanimate object, but an actual person with thoughts and opinions of his own. and he Does Not Like This At All.

at least, not at first. but he finds his walls start getting eroded by these idiotic humans and their idiotic tendencies to make the worst possible choices. (especially a certain engineer with a taste for explosive materials, but thats neither here nor their)

of course, something has to go wrong, as it always does. there are two other survey teams on the planet - kortac and shadow company. and according to a message sent by one of them (not sure which yet lmao), something is hunting them.

and soon, the 141 is going to be hunted to

im trying not to directly copy the plot of all systems red (the first murderbot novella) so yeah!

Muzzled:

this is going under the read more because its getting too long lmao

cw for mild mouth trauma and general blood/violence

SO this one is fun.

ghost is still part of the 141, alongside gaz and price. he's a werewolf (obviously XD) and somehow, a mark gets the drop on him while he's shifted into his full wolf form

he wakes up in a tiny iron cage in a dank basement, with a burning pain across his snout, jaw, and neck. his captors managed to muzzle and collar him with pure silver, keeping him as weak and docile as possible. hes still fucking dangerous as shit, but this way they can at least handle him.

his captors, a group of hunter/poachers, have a shitton of other supernaturals trapped in the basement with him. they come down to gloat, and with them is a strange man. he doesnt talk smack like the others. he moreso tries to blend into the shadows and disappear. but ghost cant tear his eyes away from the bright blue eyes lurking in the darkness. or the thick iron band locked around his throat.

the man is clearly inhuman, but he cant - or wont - speak. hes tasked with taking care of the "feral wolf" (ghost) for the duration of his stay. from the precise wording of the orders, ghost knows exactly what the man in.

fair folk. something powerful, too, given the iron bands around his wrists as well.

days of ghost plotting his escape pass, and ghost and the fae start to come to some sort of wordless alliance. they take care of each other as best they can from their relative cages, finding solace in each other that they cant find anywhere else.

something happens later down the line, maybe gaz and price are getting to close to the operations, but the poachers decide that its time to cut their losses and skip town. they order the fae to "take care of the wolf". ghost's heart drops, because he knows that a fae cant disobey an order given by the keeper of their true name.

but in the poachers' haste to get things wrapped up, they made a mistake. they left the order unclear and open ended.

and the fair folk always take notice of loopholes.

the fae unlocks ghost's cage and releases him from the silver. ghost, rather than just go up and slaughter the entire organization himself, decides to be extra and lets loose every single other creature trapped down there with him. they all go and massacre the ring, but ghost doesnt. because the fae collapsed on the floor of the basement, dropping his glamour in the process. and the sight is grisly.

he's skin and bones, barely any muscle or fat on him at all. the iron ring around his neck and the iron bands around his wrists hang loose, showing the thick rings of scar tissue on pale skin. but the worst is his mouth.

coarse, rough thread seals his mouth shut, the wounds red and angry and irritated. locking the fae's strongest weapon away, keeping him firmly under the whims of his captors. he may have had the freedom of movement that ghost lacked, but he was as much a prisoner here as the rest.

ghost somehow manages to get them all out safe, and he finally gets the fae's name. his true name. not the silly little nickname he gave him in his head while watching him clean the basement day in and day out (soap).

for the first time in months, simon and johnny speak to one another.

there you go, hope you enjoyed! @bl-nk-sp-ce

about chapter 13 in evermore

spoilers to evermore chap 13 (pls dont press read more if you havent read it yet) — the text utc is a very important clarification !!

so there are a few things id like to clarify —

1. no i will not make y/n a homewrecker and i never will.

2. i am not a jeanluc shipper nor do i hate it. a lot of people have many feelings regarding jean. one of them includes negativity/triggers about the ship and i apologize for the sudden ship appearing. if you’d like, i can change jean into donna instead (i didnt choose to add donna for the fiance role because i dont think she’d act the same as jean in this situation)

3. no, jean will not be a chisato 2.0. the next chapter will be all about diluc, his past, and his feelings as well as what reader will do next after the incident.

4. i will put jeanluc in the warnings from now on unless i decided to change jean to donna instead. i honestly dont want to see any more comments about being displeased with jeanluc and the plot twist overall bcuz i get it — i know its disappointing that reader wont end up with diluc — but trust me, youll see something by the time this series ends.

5. i will respond to asks regarding chap 13 next week b4 i publish chap 14 just so others wont get spoiled.

6. diluc will not abandon jean for reader. please take note that i do not intend to add something such as that and cheating in this series. again, chap 14 will be all about diluc so it’ll be explained as to why he’s so “smitten” or interested with reader.

again, i rlly apologize if this affects you someway. i just have to clarify this because i feel worried that people wont like evermore anymore for this. ill try to write the next chapter and post it by saturday if i can, for now, just bare w me and thank you for the understanding.

okay :3 i want to ask first though if ur cool with like chubby!reader cuz i want to push the hyunjae would want a chubby partner agenda because no one else will😓 and like i guess, i’m asking too if ur okay with y/n’s body size being like a plot point?? idek if i know what i’m asking but yeah😓 also i have country club au thoughts.. allow me to elaborate if u will.. and biker!hee (but he’s subby) >:)))))

also, how are you?? what ever happened to hello am i right but i hope ur doing well, i hope this doesn’t feel like a patronizing thing for me to say but i hope u know u don’t HAVE to entertain my asks and i promise to never be mad or hostile if u don’t want to/don’t get around to it, i don’t want to be a burden in ur inbox so.. idk i guess i’m just saying this cuz i feel annoying but like also i think ur rly cool and like yapping with u and i wouldn’t want to push any boundaries. yeah.

- 🧁 anon

yes im cool with chubby reader !! maybe abt the plot point it depends tho ? like idk if it includes reader being insecure abt their body etc i might be a little less comfortable with it ? it rlly depends how its approached so yeah it wont be completely off the table but i might not be 100% comfortable with it either (for now at least)

country club au .... biker!hee .. subby biker!hee ....... SEND THE THOUGHTS RN‼️‼️‼️‼️

im good !! n ik dont worry ! but ur asks r so good i havent had that problem yet lol everytime i read one i want to answer it as fast as i can bc as much as im a gatekeeper at heart i also need the world to see all ur amazing ideas :3

(this is the last one) since I don’t think you’ve seen Buffy or Community and definitely haven’t seen The Magicians (nor should you) explain what you think the plot of each of them is and what opinions you assume you’d have on them! Or just do Community because that’s the one I think could be really fun out of context. (You can also answer for Aftg if you feel like it)

i havent watched any of them but i'd like to! especially buffy let's see

buffy is about a teenager that is a vampire slayer and i think she falls in love with two vampires? she's best friends with willow who becomes a witch and then comes out as a lesbian and this show has one of the first instances of bury your gays from modern television rip... i know lots of characters names like i know cordelia faith spike willow tara xander is someone dawn is buffy's sister?? and yeah i know there's a lot of lore there's not only vampires and i might have watched an episode on tv as a kid but im not sure. there's a musical episode somewhere

community is about a group of college students and their not a celebrity yet friend donald glover and that's all i know im almost 100% sure this is about of group of friends in college what is their major? i have no idea i just know it's super funny though i should watch it even if i havent watched comedies in years

the magicians i have no idea not gonna lie... i know it's like a dark young adult show like not your typical harry potter or anything like that but also definitely not the vampire diaries?? the main character's name is quentin is all i can remember i wanted to read the books at one point

all for the game is about everything except sports there's definitely sport (exy) that i couldn't tell you the rules of but i can name you 90% of the cast: neil, andrew, andrew's brother who is the worst, kevin (i like him), alison, renee (my dear), dan (also my dear), nicky and there's more people but im terrible with names and i still did a good job i think. honestly idk what this is about actually but all of you feel super strongly about this series and its characters so i wanna know what its about shdfhs

#im stupid sorry for this one but i did my best #answer

[neo-shitty]

checkmate tested my sanity like for reals. ending got me shocked like wtf but its so good. i wasnt expecting it to end like that honestly. like !!OK SPOILERS!! yeah i inferred as much that they were drugged but i didnt think that it would go deeper. so damn you got me. checkmate is a masterpiece. my gut feeling did tell me that theres a high chance they were really killed off but my heart really rooted for jisung and me(?)/reader aaaanddd changbin x saeyeon. srsly tho very very well written. well in all honestly i didnt cry because i was so shocked i couldnt budge. and thats how you know how good a story is lmao.

moving on to obliviate!!! the moment i saw the title and it being an l2e ,, i alrdy knew it would be sad af. so i was sobbing while reading the whole thing. and please dont get me started,,, harry poterr x skz fics are heaven. the 2 fandoms im in in one story is *chefs kiss* draco is my favourite charac in hp thereforeee idk i just rly felt the story. reader had the same circumstance as draco did so maybe thats why i cried (??) draco is no doubt one of the most misunderstood characters and i rly just fking bought the whole book series just to read his redemption arc that they didnt include in the movies lmao.

ANYWAYS BACK TO OBLIVIATE, my heart literally burst of sadness when jisung asked reader to erase his memories. like idk remembering it now still makes me feel things that i cant interpret through words.

my point is ur a rly rly gud writer so keep it up<3 and that those 2 are my favourite of yours. would you mind telling us, ur readers, what your favourite work is?

i'm just here to tell you that i think checkmate tested my sanity just as much as it did yours. like i knew how it was going to end bc that was the first thing i planned out but getting there without spilling too much just drove me MAD. making a cut bc this is going to be a lengthy one.

thank you for taking the time to read checkmate! i like how your gut feeling told you shit was gonna go down bc some just didn't see it coming kjdksj and i'm also glad it go that reaction out of you (?) i was aiming for that sort of impact. i'm soooo glad that you enjoyed it. also I TOO ROOT FOR THOSE PAIRINGS. well, all three pairings actually + everyone else. i got so attached to this little squad that i started writing more for them. basically every skz high school au i come up with at this point leads back to checkmate.

AND OBLIVIATE, GOD. NOT OBLIVIATE MAKIGN YOU CRY IM SORRYJSDKK. tbh that fic was just me recreating that 'wand fight' they had in half blood prince. and yes i'm fond of draco as well and poor boy was misunderstood :((( i havent read the books yet so EXCUSE ME HE HAD A REDEMPTION ARC?@$?@#?$ how much of the redemption arc can you tell me without completely spoiling it bc i'm really interested in knowing :((( the betrayal in obliviate tho and it's quite sad that mc didn't really get to explain nor did they have that much of a choice. ok now i'm getting sad too damn it.

thank you for reading my works, i do appreciate it a lot! just the thought of someone taking the time to read makes my heart swell :( <3 also this million-dollar question EYE. plot-wise, my favorites would be checkmate (isn't a surprise atp, it's by far my favorite child), kill steal (a purge fic centered around the neos) and nabi (which is yet to be posted). writing-wise, i adore cherry wine and if i fall.

unanswered asks~

this post is solely focused on asks [that are not requests/reacts]  i haven’t been able to answer lately due to me being busy working on requests or just my personal life in general. if you know you sent me an  ask, my reply to you will be under the cut! i didn’t want to leave anyone’s ask unanswered and if you don’t see yours under the cut, please resend them! i’d love to see what you have to say to me. thank you guys for continuing to  support me. i love you guys very much! <3 

i havent been very active during november so if you know you sent an ask to me during this month and never received a reply, it is more than likely down here! im so sorry about the wait, ive been insanely busy.

[ THERE IS ABUSE MENTIONED DOWN BELOW! PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION! ]

1. are asks still open for prompts?

yes! it is. :) it is open till further notice! <3

2. Not a request, just wanted your thoughts. Ok, imagine a soulmate au where when the SoSu finds Kellogg and they find out they’re soulmates at fort hagen. My friends say I’m fucked up for playing around with the idea but I think with a certain backstory it could work. Maybe if SoSu’s spouse was abusive it wouldn’t be bad. But also Kellogg was just doing a job and he’s not actually that bad of a person given his story. I just think it could be an interesting idea. What do you think?

- i think its a really good and interesting idea, as much as i dislike kellogg on my end! i dont find a lot of sosu/kellogg fics so i think its pretty amazing you want to write a story based on an soulmate au trope and if you do end up posting it, link it to me! i will be more than glad to read it. personally, i believe kellogg is really traumatized and broken from his past and doesnt know how to express nor heal from it. instead he allows his bitterness to seep through his actions which is probably why he does it with no care and little to no signs of sympathy. so, i dont personally believe he was always an asshole and does have a soft side to him like everyone else. of course, this does not excuse his actions but it does create character in some way shape or form and i think its great to work around and has the potential to form a really detailed and well thought plot. i think soles spouse also being abusive can also aid in the progression of the story. good luck with it and please do share it with us when you decide to do it! im very excited to see you work with this.

2. do you write for longfellow?

- sadly, not at the moment. i haven't been able to play the far harbor dlc to its full potential and i haven't recruited old longfellow as much as i should have. maybe when i do come around to finishing it, i will add old longfellow to the list!

3. Nuooo! No more sad man Danse!  He needs some happiness too! Maybe after BB he developed some comradeship with a platoon of minutemen he could actually laugh and have a drink with. Find a new purpose in aiding and protecting fellow minutemen and their communities and families. Only people I can realistically see him being buddy-buddy with is either Struges, Preston or if you’re lucky the ex-BOS scribe that can be your armor merchant at your settlement. Dude NEEDS an emotional support system!

- UGH, you are so right! danse deserves nothing but happiness post blind betrayal!! i do strongly believe hes recruited into the minutemen a little later after the events and is immediately accepted into the faction as family, regardless of his past actions. i like to think that he gets along with almost everyone and humbles down as an individual, eventually letting go the ideals of the BoS. the minutemen is truly his first step into another chapter of his life.

4. I hate you😜nah I’m totally kidding😁 I gotta reeeeeally try to find anything subjectively bad to say to you honestly🤔. You’re friendliness comes off naturally like you’re not trying too hard to cater to anyone. You come off as genuine enough to just enjoy the fandom and the interactions you have with fans is very refreshing and inviting🥰. It’s always a pleasure to have some fun banter about a video game series we all love among each other as fans.💕

- THIS GENUINELY MADE ME SMILE!! im glad i dont come off as too rude of unfriendly to others and its reassuring to hear that! i try to be as nice as i can to everyone and im always happy to interact with anyone in the fandom so dont afraid to shoot me an ask or message. thank you for your message anon and please have an amazing day! i appreciate you! <3

5. your writing is amazing and super comforting and I love the work you do and you and you're wonderful 💖💖💖

- youre more wonderful and amazing! thank you for supporting my writing and continuing to read my works! im glad i can provide you guys with content that is comforting and i hope i continue to do so. <3 please have a wonderful day, anon and i appreciate you so much! <3

6. I’m actually a little jealous of you😖. You seem to have so much going on in your personal life yet still have time to have a little fun in the fallout fandom. You’re 19 now right? Ugh and yet you’re doing more in life than what I was doing at that age😞. It’s rather inspiring really, tho’ I’m a little envious I still wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Good luck and take care!❤️

- don’t be jealous, please. everyone moves at their own pace and thats perfectly fine! take your time and you will get where you want to be in no time. im 18 and im still trying to figure out my life day by day and lets be honest.. i wing it 99% of the time, LOL. im more than certain you will achieve a lot in your lifetime and i will be wishing you nothing but happiness and success! please take care and don’t be hard on yourself! good luck. <3

(  lalisa  manoban  ♡   twenty-two  ♡  cisfemale  ♡   she/her  )   i   just  heard    SUNNY THEERAVIT   blasting   to     SOBER BY DEMI LOVATO  !    i   mean ,  it's   not    surprising .   the   squad    knows   them   as    THE GOOD BAD GIRL  ,   since   they're   RESPONSIBLE &   IMPATIENT …    maybe   that's   because   they're   a   huge   CAPRICORN .   on   a   good   day ,   you'll   find   them at    BORIS AND HORTON .   let's    hope   to   see   more   of   them !

gina is back at it again with another muse. so glad to finally bring back an old muse. i love her sfm and i rlly hope that you guys will too :((((( she aint the nicest but i swear to y’all she’s a soft baby sometimes. if y’all wanna plot im here and hit that <3 dugun dugun and imma send y’all a message <3 i love y’all so much mwahxx

boyish and quite the rebel at a very young age up until her teenage years but due to her parents’ desire to keep their family’s reputation, at the age of fifteen she was sent abroad to train and be the daughter her parents wanted her to be. years went by and her parents started to see the change and thought that maybe she was indeed ready to return.

Returning to New York, she lasted for months being the good girl that she had to be but ever since she started out dating this guy, she thought she really liked, she started rebelling again. Showing them that their child isn’t as good as they thought that she was.

Without having any other choice, her parents sent her out to her grandparents to discipline her. When she thought the school for etiquette was harsh, clearly she haven’t met her grandparents. They were ruthless, harsh and there was no mercy nor grace in their eyes.

Ttw: abuse (physical, mental and verbal), claustrophobia every wrong did amounted to punishments. How far her grandparents would go depend on how bad she did. It started out with slapping, next day she was beaten up, the bruises on her face was enough to say how much pain she had endured for the day, she’d be locked up in a small dark room, where there was no food nor drinks and rodents such as rats and spiders as her companions. There were days when she was accompanied by silence and there are days it were the roaring thunders, which eventually made her fear the sound of it. She hated it.

She hated every day she spent with her grandparents because every day they did nothing but take a piece of her and slowly destroy that once cheerful girl. Now, she was nothing but an empty vessel who was filled with anger and hate and numbness. Believe it or not, despite the tight security, sunny have grown to learn her grandparents’ tactics and have overthrown it… secretly. Without them knowing, sunny went out to party a lot and went from here and there, sex, alcohol, she did the exact opposite of what they taught her.

Her grandparents then sent her back to New York, thinking that they finally perfected the daughter that is expected from a theeravit. Do good, do good, a sweet smile did she show but no one really saw that sinister smile she held within.

And now, people knew of sunny theeravit as the sweet and elegant daughter, who would somehow end up taking over the company with her brother someday.

one might wonder how is she able to keep things to herself. Not many knew of her desire to write books, expose everything the world had done to her and so she requested a room only meant for her, where it was filled with books, poems and her journals where every secret she hid was written.

She’s an aspiring journalist or author. She loves to read books and write novels but never really showed the world about it. Not yet. Something still held her back anyways.

Wanted connections:

well honestly I don’t know since I’ve never given much thought art it ksjbgkjrsgkre Idk but prolly some would be the ex, roommates yes, what else um … someone she can’t stand ig, fwb/ewb, someone she fooled around w/, prolly someone who’d threaten her but she’s like meh, unrequited pls i’d die, prolly ex who havent gotten over each orther lit anyrhgin idk idk y’all I’m down with anything lay them all down to me ;’)

i know this isnt a question about your characters, but do you have any tips on making comics? i’m trying to make one but i’m having such a difficult time (btw i absolutely love your art!)

it’s ok! i dont ever mind attempting advice! HONESTLY i have a lot of trouble doing slightly longer-form comics myself… in the past i usually just have the main idea and just hop right into sketching but that is hard if ur ideas are murky and ive moved away from that a bit unless my ideas are extremely thought out

what ive been doing lately to start is typing out an outline, aka write out the story beats i want to happen. with the points kept kind of brief and general, it’s easy to move them around, copy and paste them in different orders to finesse the story. it’s worth being familiar with important plot elements here, if u arent. ive found i tend to think out the climax of a story first, then craft the build up and aftermath around that. bc good stories need a bit of drama! even if ur comic is just a conversation and so is more char driven than action driven. u need some satisfaction out of reading it, theres gotta be some change from start to finish, again, even if small!!!

when the outline is more or less in okay shape i start typing out a script, aka like the specific dialogue, expressions, actions, etc that need to happen, divided into the chapters or parts. and when that feels solid enough i begin thumbnailing the panels and pages, pretty rough so its easy to move around stuff and not get too married to any drawings just yet.

and thats kind of how ive been working! stuff changes a lot along the way, like with the squid comic im working on rn, already some of the dialogue and story elements in the thumbnailing phase are kind of different from what i wrote out in the outline.

also i kind of let stories sit for awhile, mainly because i’m busy so it takes time for me to actually get to doing a project i had planned (lol!) but also its something i had a teacher recommend once. even if you’re not consciously thinking about your story, odds are your brain is actually still subconsciously working on it in the background, and u may come back days or weeks later with an idea on how suddenly ur plot can actually work or can be even better. and it def has happened to me! so if something isnt working, try not to force it or rush it maybe!

i also find as i go about my days or w/e i often randomly come up with shards of interactions or whatnot, like sometimes i’ll be doing errands and ill think of something that a character would say to another and its just so in character that despite me not having specific context for it yet im like GOTTA use this. in these cases, i alwaaays try to write stuff down, i have a bunch of stuff in the notes app on my phone that’s all these ideas ive gotten on the fly. often stuff comes to me while im lying in bed trying to fall asleep and even if im close to falling asleep if i come up with something i do grab my phone and jot it down hehe so i def recommend keeping track of ur stray thoughts

i digressed a bit but yeah!! making a longer-form comic is a bit daunting and i still havent (nor probably will i since im not particularly a trained comic artist) but you just gotta break it into parts so it becomes easier to tackle. storytelling is a lot of work but it is so rewarding and i kno u can do it!! ^^

#i hope something of that is helpful! #i may not be trained in comics but i AM trained in storytelling so i like to think i at least half know what i'm talking about hehe #inkbox #long post #how to

[flower-of-the-desert]

@whostheweebnow said: Dude thank you. This has always kind of bothered me. Especially coming from Magnus who knows exactly what happened with Malcom Fade and Annabelle Blackthorn. Like this could get Alec killed. I feel like he has good reason to be afraid of coming out.

Does he know though? I mean in Lady Midnight Malcolm does say that Magnus and Cat knew the truth and lied to him but I got the impression he just assumed that because of his grief and anger but it wasnt actually true. I might be forgetting something. And I havent read the other two books yet so I’m not sure.

But yes, you bring up a good point either way and I kind of agree and dont agree at the same time. I’d say the DW aspect is definitely something worth considering and I feel like an idiot for not realising it myself. Even if we assume the plot point about homophobia has been retconned (which I will do from here on out until the books make it explicit that it hasnt), there is still the fact that Magnus is a warlock which is definitely something that would/should cause problems for him and Alec as a couple and it’s a perfectly valid reason for Alec to want to keep it on the downlow.

But I kind of disagree that it would actually put Alec’s life in danger as it happened with Malcolm and Annabelle. For one thing, the Accords are there to kind of improve the relations - they’re not doing a good job of it by any stretch of the imagination but I’d say the SH society has at least moved on from from murdering DWs on sight and burrying their own people alive just to prevent them from running away with said DWs.

Also we have Izzy who is known for dating “bad boys” aka DWs but nobody has taken any action against her - neither her parents nor the Clave or anyone else and I’ve always had the impression that she was not in any actual danger beyond maybe getting scolded by her parents every once in a while?

So I dont think Alec’s life would be put in danger by revealing his relationship with Magnus. Again, that’s not to say he wouldnt face any opposition or anything - and we even see just that in TRSOM - but I dont think a repeat of Malcolm and Annabelle could have happened with Alec and Magnus.

Also looking at it from this angle Magnus’s insensitivity is kind of... understandable? Like if homophobia isnt an issue and Magnus doesnt have reason to believe that Alec might be put in danger by coming out then from his POV it looks like this shadowhunter - part of the group of people who have treated his kind horribly for centuries and has never given DWs the respect and attention they deserve - wants to fool around with Magnus while being in love with someone else and keep their relationship hidden with no good reason (other than being ashamed of other SH knowing he’s fucking a DW?) like Magnus is his dirty little secret. In this context I’d understand Magnus’s insistance that Alec reveal their relationship or he’ll walk away for good.

I think I’ll just adopt this as my headcanon from now own.

How do you imagine Tenco's Story ending in your head?

that is a GREAT but UNEXPECTED QUESTION freshlybaked "spider" bread and i'm really happy to have the opportunity to try and answer this ageless question that has burned within all of us in the tenco's story iv waiting room community since 2013. it is an incredible coincidence (or is it? 👀) that i was just talking to Risa about tenco's this (edit: yesterday) morning so i am extra double super in the mood to talk about Tenco's Story today. so excellent of a coincidence is this that i am tempted to refer you to them in case you wanted to hear their thoughts on the matter that would probably turn out super cool, but that is neither here nor there; let us talk Tenco's Story.

i of course must mention my unadvertised and modestly detailed commentary on tenco's i-iii at https://shidiand.tumblr.com/tencos, presenting slightly interesting facts in an unwieldy and difficult-to-use format, but as it dates back to june 2017, i want to take some time to understand my feelings about the series once more.

tenco's story is a series that has a lot of meaning to me.

i took on my current name of shidiand in november of 2013. i was still in 11th grade at the time, 4th year of high school, and a very socially isolated person. i should say i was introduced to touhou in 7th grade, 2010, so i was still working through a 3 years-strong phase of trying to simultaneously both find an outlet for and bottle up an endless wellspring of awkward weeaboo-gamer nerd energy at the time.

i had my first real foray onto the internet in 2010, tried out twitter, followed some RPers and other people who had Cool Touhou Usernames. didn't really go anywhere. i had maybe 50 followers, i dont really know the count but it was definitely a) double digits and b) pretty low. didn't know what to tweet about. didn't know how to hit it off with others. i think there was basically maybe only 3 other people i ever properly interacted with. oh shit i was playing league of legends at the time. oh my god. i really did play league of .. oh my god. let's move on.

aw shit im super digressing amn't i. well.

this is just how it goes when i write essays on tumblr.com.

i'm afraid you're just along for the ride at this point so please do your best to enjoy it.

i got kind of tired of twitter at the time because i didnt know what to do with it. didnt know how to interact with people and didnt find the people i was following interesting, so i ghosted on out of there by the end of 2012. didnt deactivate it until like 2015 but at that point that was just burning away my dark history. anyways. november 2013.

--im taking a lot of time here trawling through old files on my computer, my tumblr blog, notification emails still lying around in my gmail inbox from twitter, the dropbox i didn't actually use but it had several tenco's story pictures on it but i deleted them so this was useless, ... to trace the timeline of this story and im really seeing a lot of remnants of dark history here you know? did you know i wrote a letter to a girl i had a crush on valentine's day 2014, slipped it into her locker, and anxiously hung around nearby at lunchtime to see how she reacted at lunchtime? i certainly didn't, or at least i made darn ass sure to forget about this incredible virgin incident and not remember it, ever, until i came across the records of it that i thoughtfully preserved for the me of 5 years later today. ok well now i have to read the letter to see if it was as bad as it just sounded there brb

ok so the good news is that it was actually very focused on being positive and full of admiration for the cool things she did instead of being a confession letter so i am very glad i was able to be a respectful chad 5 years ago, but the bad news is that the jokes, the actual sentences i put together. oh my god. but i mean. well. at least i got the spirit. its certainly a step up from this other person in my grade, WEEABOO ANDREW, YOU MAY RECALL THIS STORY AND HIS NAME FROM PREVIOUS STORYTIMES, THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND who came to school on halloween once cosplaying kirito from sword art online and got very possessive about people asking if they could hold his black replica plastic sword, and probably worse, dropped a "will you be my girlfriend" letter into the locker of my homie and fellow trombonist samantha, who was a little bit nerdy, hung out with the anime-likers who were actually sociable and fun to be around so you can imagine why weeaboo andrew was into her, which had i) a direct quotation from SAO chapter 16.5 (origin of the famous "glopping noise" line), and ii) a condom. jesus christ. i dont want to talk about this any more. next topic.

i also put this drawing of iku nagae and her skarmory (actually an albinoss from 18 DRAGONS) on the other side of the letter because it was the coolest thing i could think of drawing at the time. and i completely agree with 2014 me because it IS super fucking cool. hell fuckin yeah

https://shidiand.tumblr.com/post/76301993387/iku-nagae-ft-that-thing-that-supposedly-is-a

alright that was a fun little trip down memory lane but lets get back on track. november 2013. i started anew as shidiand. still awkward, still learning how to express myself and looking for my place among others. i followed some touhou bloggers, hung around r/touhou a lot as well. in december i got my first tablet for christmas, a wacom bamboo splash. i still use this thing! the usb cable disconnects if you bump it so i have to find just the perfect position to sit in whenever i want to draw, but its served me well. anyways. i was just starting to play around with digital art but i remember, probably just before new years, for some reason i wanted to find out more about tenshi hinanawi (i don't remember why. tenshi wasn't even one of my favourite characters at the time) so i went googling and right there on zerochan i found this:

https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=23525572

this was during my dark souls phase so i just went BANANAS at the sight of this. this was literally the coolest image i had ever seen in my internet life. That image alone made me want to draw in hopes that I could make something as cool as that someday.

it wasn't immediately after but i soon discovered tenco's story, and it was love. kannnu was my very first artistic inspiration, and for a long time, my only one. i absolutely idolized them at the time. since then, ive found other artists to look up to, in a more healthy manner, but to this day i still look up to kannnu, still admire their work a lot.

i played around with drawing, followed the lives of people on tumblr, started reading touhou fanfiction, made a new twitter. i met a lot of new people along the way. some people i havent stuck with, some i cut ties with, and some people i still keep in contact with today. over those long 5 years of being shidiand, i found a name (i used to use shidian and then shid, but someone called me shidi once and i realized that was a lot better), how to reach out to others, how to express myself, places that i could feel included in. this is why i owe a blood debt to evelyn, who permitted me to kneel at her throne and was like "yea ok you can join my discord server u seem cool". evelyn, if you were confused by me ominously mentioning this blood debt/blood oath in a tumblr reply 1-2 years ago, this is the context. those 5 years were like a coming of age of sorts, that i never had when i was in high school.

and my love for tenco's story, that inspired me to draw that day, has been with me since almost the very beginning of my time as shidiand. from the beginning, i have always encouraged people to READ TENCO'S STORY, like the kin of those who cry PLAY MELTY or WATCH SYMPHOGEAR. i think my very first sidebar description was something akin to a prayer, written in very choral language, hoping for the day tenco's story iv was completed, ..., "meanwhile, furious shitposting". kannnu's work, finding delight in whatever they chose to draw, has been at my side, all along. my true mentor, my guiding moonlight...

so that's why i still to this day love tenco's story so much.

let's talk about tenco's story.

tenco's story is a story told through single pictures. the plot is vague, and details are sparse. dialogue is rare. we only know what has happened; we seldom know why. furthermore, there are many gaps between scenes that the reader is left to fill in for themselves; we see only snapshots that form an hazy outline of the events that occurred, and must imagine the rest. motivations and explanations fail me. but even with a barebones plot, tenco's story has themes, and if nothing else, those have to be carried through.

the main theme, of course, is journey and travel, but there are also other ideas, too. i actually think they start to change as the series goes on:

book i, where tenshi runs away from home, is about striking out on your own. it's a very fun and unpredictable journey, together with a friend.

book ii, where tenshi and iku are separated, forces tenshi to find and rely on companions of her own even more. but they do so, and they are able overcome hardships, and there is food and festival.

book iii marks a climax, reasserting tenshi's goal of finding the sword of hisou. i feel like the journey shifts from a travel (visiting) to a path forwards (making your way through). perhaps this is just something i get from knowing the locations from dark souls (Anor Londo, New Londo Ruins, the Great Hollow), but the locations start to give more of a sense of verticality, like they're emphasizing tenshi's climb to the summit. the hardships and enemies are the greatest they've been yet, and right when they near the top, tenshi and iku start to bleed. the book ends on an uncertain note.

if i had to describe the type of journey and travel that tenshi and iku undertake, there's this sense of wonder at discovering new places, wandering from vista to vista in delight, but also a sense of conquering, making it through a difficult patch. the sequence from pages 2-44 to 2-51, taken together, convey this sense of overcoming the best. it's one of my favourite parts. again, although the tone definitely starts to lean towards struggle in book iii, i think tenco's sense of wonder really is the heart of the series. there's no map of the world, no predicting where tenshi and iku will end up next. and through their travels, though they come across many enemies, they also find friends -- places of refuge, places full of life, people who will look after them for a few days, companions who will stay with them for the rest of the journey. at the end of book iii, we see a long haired tenshi with purple hair being impaled by the sword of hisou (3-33, see also this extra illustration that risa pointed out to me http://sinnnkai.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-195.html), and regular short haired tenshi continuing on her journey (3-42). if we ignore the out-of-story images where tenshi has the sword of hisou, tenshi has actually only ever used her sunlight blade (2-24, 3-26, etc), so i think that the long haired tenshi on 3-33 is a different person altogether. (if i had to guess, she might be the purple haired woman in the top left of https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=35443328 as we have never seen that woman appear anywhere.) she probably has something to do with the flashbacks at the end of book ii and she might somehow be short-haired tenshi at the same time, but this is just speculation.

however, in 3-43, tenshi's hair is rather blue, so i don't know if this is the purple haired woman or not. if it is, tenshi is probably still fine and closing in on the summit, but if it isn't, then it's very worrying to see a picture of tenshi without any of her companions. it's very ominous.

meanwhile, iku, while climbing the red carpeted corridor, is stabbed, and disappears for a few pages. there's a black page, a shot of a shrine that strongly resembles the hakurei shrine, and a picture of iku standing behind someone in a tux, with the line "In the past, I was saved by the lady I was serving, you see?". and then iku wakes up in a field of flowers.

i think what this scene makes clear is a theme that has continued to appear and reappear throughout every book of "being saved, being aided by someone's kindness".

i think another theme that is implied and has to be addressed by this story of running away from home is "return". something im imagining is that the reason tenshi makes finding the sword of hisou her goal is because she wants to have something to prove herself with, to vindicate her when she comes home. but i don't think she needs to prove anything, and i ultimately think that she would be happier spending the rest of her life exploring.

so i think this should be what happens in the ending.

open on iku's journey, and give her a long sequence of travel without seeing tenshi. underline her newfound resolve. she climbs to the summit with albinoss, and finds the rest of tenshi's companions fallen. and in the last room is sword of hisou tenshi, who has lost herself, and it comes down to iku to bring her back. after a difficult battle, when both of them are on their last legs, iku is unable to stand any longer. but at this moment tenshi sees her companions struggling to get back up and reach her, and that's what brings her to her senses. and iku gets to see how many friends tenshi's been able to make on her own, and they finally and properly reunite. together, tenshi and iku carry each other out of the last room.

i don't think it's necessary to return to heaven. as a conclusion, dedicate some time to tenshi and iku travelling together. they're on their way back, revisiting old friends who helped them along the way, enjoying the journey. their last stop is the house of the elderly nawis (1-42). tenshi shows off the sword of hisou; she decided to keep it not as a trophy to show her family but as proof of the bonds of her companions. surrounded by friends, tenshi and iku decide to part ways with each other, knowing that the other will be alright. iku drifts among the clouds once more, and tenshi sets off for the horizon.

that's the plot that i'd write/just wrote. i don't really expect tenco's story iv to ever come out, though. i mentioned my first sidebar description earlier in this essay, but of course, you can see that it's been changed. 2 years ago, i read my hopeful prayer once more and was struck with a terrible melancholy, so now it reads this: "having come to terms with the fact that tenco's story iv will never be released, i can still live, knowing that the spirit of the journey will live on through kannnu's original works [...] meanwhile, furious shitposting".

on one level, tenco's story is a story, but in the process of following it, i came to think of the work itself as a journey too. you can constantly see kannnu's improvement between and even within each book. they have always drawn whatever they liked; what plot matters in the face of "I wanted to draw a beautiful sky." "I wanted to draw a fantastic battle." "I wanted to draw Dark Souls and Monster Hunter and Pokemon and Brave Fencer Musashi and Bokura no Taiyou and Touhou."

its not really kannnu's style to go back and tie up old ends. they just draw whatever makes them happy. so as i watch them continue to draw beautiful places and fantastic creatures, new characters heading out on journeys of their own or just enjoying their everyday lives, it's as if tenco's story never ended. the limits and consistency of that world ignored, and a new one springs up; in a way, the world of tenco's, which had such thin boundaries, just gets bigger.

but even so, having said all that, i still see them draw that short-haired tenshi from time to time. it makes me happy to see them remember tenco's story with such fondness. often crossing over with orion or roar or elweiss, you can see tenshi on another journey.

A nice message, but not from a moose, unfortunately

I haven’t updated my ask queue page, so if you don’t see your ask there then it’s probably collecting dust in my inbox xP

Writing experiences you haven’t had yourself

Anon asked: I’m currently writing a story and a secondary character is someone who has been abused. I’ve done lots of research and I’m continuing to do so (reading psychology reports, peoples own experience, whatever I can find) as I haven’t gone though the abuse my character has but someone recently told me I shouldn’t write this character because I haven’t gone through it myself. I don’t want to through this character away because he plays a massive role in the development of my mc. Any advice?

1. Ignore this person. They probably mean well but they aren’t helping anyone by gatekeeping. 

2. Try to find beta readers who have a close connection to the the abuse this character faces or who have also done large amounts of research so they can double check things for you.

Nonbinary characters

Anon asked: I want to write a novel with a non binary protagonist, because I feel like it would really fit them and the plot, but I don't really know much about non binary identities. Could you maybe explain a few of them...? I just feel like this question is better answered by a nb person. I've been thinking about making them genderfluid, but I don't know if that would be fitting.

In all honesty, nonbinary people don’t tend to fit in their labels well. Within any given NB label, presentation, pronouns, and more varies drastically. There’s really no wrong way to write a nonbinary character as long as they act like any other fully formed human being. This wiki site has some basic definitions, and these two posts [ x | x ] I’ve written recently cover more.

One thing I will say here though is this: Nonbinary people are not made up of anything different from binary people -- they have the exact same brains which grant the same strengths and flaws and loves and fears and everything else that humans experience -- and therefore they’re the right characters for any plot, setting, genre, etc. That’s not to say that we as writers don’t often get feelings that certain characters have a particular identity or so on, but I see a lot of times were someone thinks a story is right for a nonbinary protagonist particularly because there’s something plot relevantly ‘weird’ with the protagonist's gender or gender expression. Nonbinary characters should not be limited to stories where their nonbinary-ness is a important to the story. 

Figuring out how many novels your plot requires.

Anon asked: How do you know if your plot will be enough for a novel or multiple novels (even after outlining)?

1. How many climactic peaks does it have?

2. How many distinct character development arcs does it have?

Each novel needs to rise in tension until reaching the climactic point, in which the character fulfills or denies their development. At the start of the next book, the tension may or may not fall quite a lot. If instead, you have a dramatic fall of tension somewhere in the second half of act two, that’s no good, nor is having a character arc which ends at any point prior to the climax.

When you get stuck on an idea

Anon asked: Hi! I have this problem when I write something I get stuck on something and don’t see other options, for example, if my first idea for some story is to start it with description of morning I will stick to it and will rewrite it over and over again but don’t even consider and option to start is somehow else. I hope it doesn’t sound strange and that you can understand it. So how to start seeing other options and not get too attached to something?

Whenever you go to rewrite anything for the first few weeks/months (depending on how often you’re rewrite things), stop and brainstorm at least five other options you could use in place of rewriting whatever you originally had. Don’t let yourself rewrite the original until you have these five options written down. 

To challenge yourself further, every few times you do this brainstorming, write out one of these new options in full instead of rewriting the original concept, even if this means you have to write entire chapters you won’t end up using. You’ll learn a lot by making yourself move outside your comfort zone and eventually your brain will start to do the brainstorming on its own. 

Finding your target audience

Anon asked: Hey I'm sure this could apply to writing as well but I'm currently writing a webcomic and as much as I want to advertise it on my blog I'm not sure if people would be interested because overall it's about teenage life, nothing more nothing less and I'm not sure how interesting of a concept that is to anyone. I also started out as a fandom blog and I'm pretty sure a lot, if not all of my followers followed me because I post about the fandom and nothing else.

Every concept is interesting to someone. I don’t know which fandoms you focus on with your fandom blog, but I would suggest looking for fandoms for contemporary YA books (on the ‘less romance’ scale) and similar slice-of-life teen-oriented stories, and connecting with the people in those fandoms on a personal level, because they will be your target audience. 

They will almost certainly only follow you for the fandom blogging unless you become friends with them. Genuine friends who are also your target audience will support your original work to hell and back, and they’ll form a platform for you which other people will be more willing to climb on once they see your original work is already being adored by others.

Token diversity 

Anon asked: Hello! What are some ways to tell apart checklisting from being diverse? Like, putting in POC and mogai characters just to say you did and earn brownie points from the audience? I appreciate the input, thank you <3

My general opinion is this: If you (and the groups represented) can’t tell that diversity is being shoehorned into a book for the sake of brownie points, then it’s diversity, no matter what the author meant it as.

If it’s a well researched and positive representation and it does good for the people it represents, then it’s good.

Working backwards from this definition, some things which might trigger alarms would be:

The use of negative stereotypes.

Diverse background characters supporting an able-bodied cishet white cast.

Members of the represented group telling you that the diverse characters from their group are bad representations.

Diverse characters being less fleshed out or more commonly killed off compared to the other characters.

Tagging spoilers

Anon asked: Friend, could you tag incoming spoilers please, I havent yet got to read these latest Riordan books and wanted to keep whatever queer stuff would be there for a surprise, and whoever the character would be as well

Sorry about that! I will try to tag spoilery content better in the future.

I can’t even fathom

Anon asked: How old are you? Boy or girl?

Excuse you, I'm an immortal Norse trickster deity (without the bestiality), and you do not ask deities their age, thank you very much.

Definitely not moose

@isnotmoose​ said: Hi, Bean! This isn't a question, I just wanted to say hi and hope you were having a good day (or night) :) I also love your blog, it's super helpful!

I’m not sure if you’re calling me a bean of if that was an auto-correction, but either way I approve this message very much. You have a wonderful day/night yourself! <3

[laracastrowrites]

What problems did you have with the darklings arc in siege and storm?

Basically LB relying on the cheapest and laziest (and maybe the grossest too) tool in order to make him completely irredeemable, that is, relying on none other than violence against women to show how BadTM he is. Which doesnt put her too far apart from writers that uses female character’s suffering to further a male character’s arc (I’m just not that infuriating cause usually these male writers tend to use women’s suffering to further a redemption for the male counterpart, ignoring the victims, which I consider worse than what we got in here, that is, what I call, a downfall arc in which at least the victims are put in the main perspective, but I still consider she ultimately did the same with all the Genya’s torture case, using her suffering to push the Darkling far from redemption, so… I’m still pissed. And I wont ramble nor rant about Genya’s case yet, cause I’ll get there).

Look, at first, I hadnt seen the pattern and I came to realize that there was one just long after I finished reading all the grishaverse books (i mean, the trilogy and the duology), and sometimes I get angry at myself for not getting it fast enough and sometimes I get angry for finally get it, cause I was way happier (or less pissed, depending on the angle you look at) when I hadnt had this one more thing to be pissed about with this trilogy.

And I think ultimately, I (plus lots of people) haven’t seen any fault (and some still dont) in Genya’s torture at first because of the pattern the book followed for his character, cause once you see him attacking Alina with his nichevoya, threatening to torture her, and seeing that he blinded his own mother, it isnt like you doubt he was capable of torturing Genya like that; but the problem with Genya’s case doesnt rely on his capability of doing such a thing, the holes in that plot point relies on his (lack of) reasons for doing so (which I’ll get there in a minute), so we let it pass because of the shock and the sadness (all of us feeling sad for Genya, and other lot feeling sad for Genya and the Darkling simultaneously, cause that was the moment we knew there was no turning back for him) without realizing how problematic all of that was.

So, analyzing objectively his arc in s&s where his bad deeds are concerned, you will see that it was basically focused on torture; but not torture towards any elements we dont care about, it was torture against female characters we care about. Like I pinpointed in the last paragraph already: the nichevoya attack towards Alina, the threat to torture her in order to press Mal to find the amplifier; blinding his own mother as a punishment for betraying him; and last but not least (and the most problematic one), he disfigured Genya because………… because. Or should I say: because ?????

In Alina and Baghra’s case I can get behind cause the reasons were clear, and if we learned something about the Darkling in s&b is that he doesnt do bad shit because; because he felt like it or whatever; I’m not saying what he does/did is justifiable, I’m just saying that he always has his reasons, he always do bad things to gain something, in order to pursue a goal, to punish someone that wronged him etc., this is one of his established character’s traits; so he’s bad, we all know that, but sadism was never one of his character’s traits, and if what he did to Genya wasnt sadism, what was it then? A coercive tactic to win Alina over? But he had tortured Genya long before he knew he was going to meet her, Genya’s scars were already there for a time, so it doesnt add up, and besides, if it was a tactic to coerce her, wouldnt it be much more efficient if he had waited to meet Alina and threat to torture Genya right in front of her so she would join him, like he did to Alina herself in the boat to coerce Mal? Like, it doesnt make any sense, especially considering that Genya was a grisha, and a grisha loyal to him! He wouldnt simply do such a horrendous thing to a loyal grisha just to try to get Alina, he would know it was kind of sloppy and risky and he had already presented other tactics much more efficient; he would know that the threat to torture Genya or whomever in front of her would’ve been much more practical and efficient, he did that before and got positive results, so ??!?!?!?!? And the reason being just coercion wouldnt really explain him dispatching Genya, either.

So ok, if it wasnt coersion, it was a punishment then, right? A punishment would explain him doing this a while ago, it could explain him dismissing her too, cause whatever she did that “deserved” such a punishment meant that he wouldnt want a grisha like her beside him, correct? Which lead us to the question: a punishment for what? What could she possibly had done to wrong him so bad that made him take such an extreme action? Had he thought Genya had betrayed him? Cause that would explain, he wouldnt want a disloyal grisha beside him and certainly wouldnt let a betrayal pass unpunished, I mean, he didnt forgave even his mother, so… But the thing is: in any moment, the text back this theory up, the only passage we got that tries to explain the cause of such a violent act is Alina’s nonsensical thought that “Genya had dared to be her friend, to show her mercy” like, what does that even mean???? Like, she backtracks to the boat scene to explain, so what she’s saying is that the Darkling would have punished Genya for not shooting Alina or something??? Didnt she know that he needed her ALIVE and the situation in the boat could’ve gone wrong in many ways if Genya’d had try something crazy? And Genya “having mercy” on Alina and being her friend would never be reason enough to create such an outrage feeling in the Darkling so he’d find himself in a situation of having to punish a grisha that is on his side. Actually, I think he probably would’ve found a way to use Genya’s fondness of Alina in a much smarter way. So back to the boat scene, unless he thought Genya letting Alina go had been a betrayal (but like I said, it isnt like she had too many options there, and besides, what exactly the Darkling had seen and heard (IF he’d heard anything in that chaos, which I doubt he had) of that scene that played out between Alina, Genya and Tolya? DID he see something? Cause he had been shot in that moment, so I think even if he had seen something (which probably would’ve been just glimpses of it), he probably would’ve liked to know more about the situation, he probably would’ve liked to sit with Genya and interrogate her or something, he wouldnt have done anything rushed, neither punished a grisha that is on his side without the certainty that they “deserved” it), there’s still no plausible explanation for that torture. 

But even if he’d thought Genya had betrayed him in any shape or form, he would’ve said it! I mean, yeah, he isnt like those that try to justify himself much (which I personally love it lmao), but I think he would’ve said it in that dismissive way of his, cause he makes sure to point out betrayal, like, always! Or if not through his words, at least LB’s text would’ve made sure to make this clear, or at least it SHOULD HAVE made sure to make this clear, but it havent! There is NOTHING that back this theory up, not in that final scene in s&s, not even in r&r (and at the time I started to analyze all of this more deeply, I read the boat scene and the final scene again just to make sure I wasnt missing anything). At first, despite the shock and heartbreaking, I felt that something wasnt adding up, but at the time, I let it pass cause I thought the full explanation would eventually come in r&r, but well, it never did. And the problem of not having a decent explanation for such an atrocious act is that it feels gratuitous, something that was put there just for shock value and to further the Darkling’s downfall, so ultimately, it feels completely unnecessary (and I dont think I need to explain how ProblematicTM it is to portray violence against women as shock value and gratuitous, right?) and on top of it, it plays as an inconsistency for the Darkling’s character so, in conclusion, gross. A Total Mess.

And to further the explanation on why his arc in s&s rotating in victimizing only women is bad, let me add that I know that the Darkling’s motivation in victimizing characters that happens to be women doesnt come from misogyny on his part or anything like that. We know that in that world, women and men fight side by side in wars, that women can make great warriors just like men, that women can have the same or even more power than men in the military and stuff, and in the Darkling’s mind, people are more separated between grishas x otkazatsya, and him victimizing a person that happens to be a woman isnt a gender based motive, but the thing is: art doesnt happen in a vacuum. His cruelty being directed towards female characters might not be a gender problem in that world, but in our world, it is. His arc in s&s is a little ProblematicTM not because of an “in narrative” problem (maybe just in Genya’s case, which I’ve just covered up), but more of an “outside narrative” problem; it’s problematic considering the damage that poor portrayal makes in our world, especially in Genya’s case, where we can consider something even ooc for him to had done, leading to the conclusion that that was completely unnecessary. And I dont blame the character for any of this, I dont think his arc in that book is as problematic as Mal’s, for instance, he was still the villain, so I dont get frustrated and angry with the character himself, exactly because I know all that was the author’s decision, that the responsibility was entirely hers; cause if your villain isnt a misogynistic peace of crap, why pick just female characters to be deeply victimized by him to further his monstrosity in a whole book, then? Was that necessary? Why not pick male characters, then? WHY NOT KILL MAL FFS? Wasnt there any other ways to do that? I say, of course there was, but considering our world morality and ethics standards, make him victimize women was just the easiest way out, and that’s why I say: lazy. Lazy writing at its finest. And I think I dont need to say how disrespectful to the Darkling and, especially, to Genya’s character that was, right? So well, that. All that. I hope I made myself clear, and that I havent forgotten anything.

Anyways, sorry not sorry for the huge text, I hope you read it till the end. Thanks for the ask anon, now bye cause I’ve already spoken too much!

Great read... Love the story about leaving the big city for the country life. Seems people have been doing this for hundreds of years. Some good info too about starting a small scale homestead. Still valid even today. Going to need to add some rabbits to my homestead because even though my cats seem to bread like rabbits I'm not ready to start eating them yet. Go to Amazon

This is a great book about preparedness and self sufficiency This is a fantastic book about self sufficiency. The only knock is it is dated. But it was written over 150 years ago. It has some interesting information about the economy from the past that you dont hear alot about too. It helps feel better about these bad times we live in now. It shows it wont last forever. Did you know that even during the great depression they had previous bad times to look to. Believe it or not each generation is not the first ot suffer, nor will they be the last. Good times will come again. And what we learn during the bad times determines the success we will have when times are good. This book teaches more than just farming, though that is the featured aspect. IT was an enjoyable read. I would love to have a modern author do a similar expirament adn write adn updated version. Maybe that book will still sell for 200 years. Go to Amazon

Most excellent! This is one of my favorites. Since it was written during the mid-1860's, the writing style is perhaps a bit different from what we are used to nowadays, but not distractingly so. This farmer knows how to tell a story. He starts with his longing to leave the city, leads us through his search for an affordable property and then lets us follow him as he chooses his crops -- among them, 804 peach trees at 7 cents a piece, all dutifully "tarred" to prevent worms -- and markets the produce for the first few years on the farm. Along the way, he scatters fascinating tidbits about his life. One of my favorites is the story of his blackberry plants. While living in town, he had read of a new kind of blackberry that intrigued him, and though it was a very unheard of thing to do at the time, he orderd six of the plants by mail, at the princely sum of five dollars. When the plants arrived, he was shocked at their size and appearance. "They looked like long white worms, with here and there a bud or an eye" and was too embarassed to admit to his wife that he paid so much for them. But he planted them and tended them, and the next year had a magnificent crop of berries, and so finally admitted to the cost. He and his wife agreed it was a bargain at that, and since they loved the berries so much, they dug up the plants and took them along to their new farm. There, the berries attracted the attention of neighbors and nurserymen, and by being one of the first suppliers in the area, he was able to sell $460 worth of blackberry plants that first year on the farm -- quite a return on his initial five dollar investment.

Inspirational Ah, truly a book to inspire. I wanted to dash right out and dig up the old potato patch! Go to Amazon

How to make it on a Mini-farm This is a facinating read. Though it was written well over a century ago, it still gives basic tips on that can be used today on a small plot of land. Times have changed in the marketing of products, so I do not believe a person can make a living as he suggesst. However, many people have been successful raising fruit to sell locally on small acreage in today's market. The author has some great tips for this, on how to prepare an orchard and how to make the most of your land. Go to Amazon

Written With Dignity and a Smile The way in which Morris expresses himself is quaint, funny, and pithy. There are few unnecessary words in this tiny book. Large passages involving boom and bust feel especially relevant after the Great Recession. Morris sounds surprisingly modern. He embraces science, encourages his readers to question tradition but dotes on his family. He has several sharp observations regarding the relationship between a happy wife and happy life. Highly recommend both to back-to-the-land types and those to appreciate a more formal writing style. Go to Amazon

but good book and great havent finishd reading, but good book and great service Go to Amazon
