#i just know it'll be AMAZING

[queer-reader-07]

maybe this is just me, but i'm kind of very happy that neil has confirmed with the s3 announcement that crowley and aziraphale really aren't talking.

there's no secret plan there's no time stop there's no body swap. they are not talking.

because i was always of the belief that the story would be better if they truly had a falling out. if there was not some secret plan behind the final fifteen. if it was really just that they both said the wrong things at the wrong times. if aziraphale just made the choice that crowley could never follow him on. if crowley waited just slightly too long to confess his feelings. if it really was just that it fell apart in real time.

i never wanted some secret plan because i want to see them both grow independently of each other. i want to see aziraphale realize just how much he hurt crowley, just how bad heaven really is. i want crowley to realize that he can be his own person independent of aziraphale. i want him to set some fucking boundaries.

idk i just think that their eventual reunion will be so much better knowing that they really weren't talking. knowing that it's a true and proper reunion, that it really will be about them making up with each other.

i don't know what neil has in store, obviously. but knowing that one little fact is reassuring to me. and i know that whatever happens in s3, it will be amazing. i'm so fucking ready.

#not happy because i want them apart #but happy because i just know it'll make for an amazing story #i hope this makes sense #good omens s3 #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #good omens meta #(sorta idk this is just random thoughts mostly)

You know what I find utterly hysterical?

So far as I've seen (And it could just be because I'm new and haven't been around a lot), everyone draws Mincowski and Lovelace and her crew and Hilbert and Cutter and the SI-5 and Pryce and everyone differently

Which is so so awesome, and I love getting to see everyone's ideas and different styles and everything

But Every Single Piece Of Eiffel Fanart I Have Ever Seen Looks Exactly Like Zach Valenti

#Afjdjdjd #It just makes me laugh #Because sometimes it'll take me a second to puzzle out which characters are who #(Which is also amazing because I get to look for clues in their personal style/expressions) #But I IMMEDIATELY know which one's Eiffel #Without a doubt. Every time. #Beautiful #wolf 359

Canon Characters vs OC vs x Reader

Disclaimer: This is just my two cents, and my perspective on things, and I'm not trying to lay down the law for everyone. I needed to just put this to words though, in order to sleep.

I was thinking about this because of a post I saw, and some, we'll say, kind of useless comments associated with the post. Mean-spirited stuff.

Normally, in one ear and out the other, but the vibes just kicked me off down a rabbit hole of sorts an I wanted to try to put some of my thoughts to words.

First, some style vibes:

Canon x Canon Canon/Canon stories are, to me, like reading an episode of that show. I'm sitting down in front of a TV or whatever, and I'm experiencing the story As A Viewer. I like this style because I don't really have to expend much energy and I just kind of roll with whatever's happening. Generally some sort of 3rd person perspective.

OC x canon OC/Canon stories are like being on a carnival ride. I'm sitting in a car on a roller-coaster, and maybe the OC is sitting next me. I'm experiencing the story more deeply than strictly canon stories, but my connection with the OC is no deeper than say, my connection with Katniss Everdeen when I read The Hunger Games. Sometimes 3rd person, sometimes first person.

Reader x canon Reader/Canon (or Reader x/ OC) is like putting on a VR helmet. I don't get much physical input about the "Reader OC" because I'm experiencing the story through their eyes. I don't expect the reader to be me, but there's a bigger feeling of immersion to be had. Some description might happen cause it's relevant to the story, and it's still a type of ride, I can't jump the rails on the roller coaster, after all. (Even with a VN you still follow the tracks). Sometimes first person, sometimes second person (I'm partial to 2nd person perspective, but that's just me).

I love Fan Fiction, I love it. All of it, and man even more than anything, what I love is that I'm going to dislike 80% of it. Because that 80% was written for someone who is not me. (Hell, that number's probably closer to 99% if we're looking at ALL fandoms, but I digress).

Second - The VENT:

What got me the most in the post that prompted this, was someone saying "Bring back the Mary Sue OCs!" and then they went on to describe something more detailed, and I just -

Look, respectfully, fuck you.

The point is, you're not going to be happy no matter what. Whether it's "mary sue" OCs, or x readers, or alternative universes, or a ship you don't like, you're going to find something to be unhappy about.

Cause people have been bitching about all styles of fan fiction since the first "You've Got Mail" chimed in 1991. And until 1998 and ff.net you really had to hunt for it, and until 2007 and Ao3 the idea of tagging a fic for any reason wasn't really a thing. Every click was a surprise! \o/

I just have seen the same song and dance a dozen times. It's exhausting. People become okay with OCs and decide x readers are the enemy, and before that OCs were *all* Mary Sues and cringe and people who made OCs were the enemy, and before OCs people who wrote even a little OOC were the enemy, and people who wrote AUs were the enemy, and you can write fan fic but it HAS to be Canon Compliant, and everyone MUST be in-character at all times - "They would not fucking say that" was the enemy.

Look, just please - please - in any capacity, stop it with the "All X style of story telling is crap" mindset. There's over a dozen different ways to do x readers alone. I know 20 x reader writers and I don't think any of us have the same style, preferences, or vibes.

I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I thought I hated x readers, but I really loved this." on a few different fics I've written. Sometimes it's not the style of the fic, sometimes it's the style of the writer, and my Brother In Christ - you're going to have to read some awful shit to shuffle through the thousands of writers out there to find the vibes that resonate with you.

Ostracizing entire swathes of fan fic because you need something to be "The Enemy" so you can lift up something else, and then bitching you can't find anything new to read seems like a personal problem.

And I know y'all are scrolling by TONS of posts that don't interest you, every day, as a matter of course. So don't give me that "clogging up the tag" BS, because we deserve to be here same as anyone else in the fandom.

#quin grumbles #I'm so aggravated I don't even really know how to tag this #like almost 30 years of it I'm just so done #I just wonder what amazing stories we're not getting #cause of some fucker using Mary Sue to belittle someone #or someone beating someone else over the head with plot armor because their protag survived something terrible? #How many “Oh.” moments have been missed because someone criticized the very concept of reader insert? #I'm way past my usual bedtime so I'm just rambling at this point #and I am being meaner than I'd like #but JFC #I'm not going to let people's bullshit opinions stop me or anyone else from writing if I can avoid it. #Write what you want #gush about it #talk about it #TELL ME ABOUT IT #IDGAF if it's cringe or overpowered or broken or flawless or an OC or a reader with a name or WHATEVER #If it brings you joy #then do it #and if people are too mean to scroll by it when it's not their thing #and then complain like they're entitled to do so #block 'em. #and tell me who they are so I can block them too #then write more #cause I promise it'll bring someone else joy too

you guys ever think about how dahlia's method of choice was always fairly hands-off, like poisoning and electrocution, but iris was told to stab a body, and she said ok?

#it's like dahlia has blood on her hands but iris is the one who's actually willing to bloody her hands you know? #i know dahlia also stabbed someone but that was technically morgan's idea. iris on the other hand. #back to thinking about them. iris you're everything to me #dahlia hawthorne #iris hawthorne #iris fey #ace attorney trials and tribulations #edit: not just ANYONE either. her AUNT #the MASTER whom she's been trained to serve and she just stabbed her with a holy sword. she's amazing #did the anime ever show the part where she folds up her bloodied clothes and sits patiently to be arrested. i need to see it. #it'll change my life

I love being on Tumblr and having mutuals — this year has been so much experiencing community and friendship in ways I haven't in a long time, if ever, and even if I still have frustrating mental health struggles that can get in the way of that and other stuff it's still easily been a highlight of this year and I'm so glad I got to have all of this and all of you and I'm very hopeful about seeing it continue into the next year

#the last two months or so have been a bit of an anxiety/depression/idk something rough patch #which has been making socializing and everything else really tricky #but knowing that it happened before makes me pretty confident that it'll happen again #so even if I'm kind of over all sad in the short term I'm also over all happy in the long term #and that's not something I think was the case last year so #idk. it's just cool #I really have had some amazing experiences this year #especially with Tumblr and fandom #just me rambling

I have one (1) irl friend who loves Critical Role and she can't come with me to the live show in London, but I'm going to try to get a ticket anyway and go by myself!

Also also, I'm learning to screen print on fabric in a week and a half and if I manage to get a ticket I'm going to print one of my own CR drawings on a hoodie to wear to the show 🤩

#I'm so excited you cannot imagine #it's a light green hoodie btw and I'm very tempted to print a Caduceus on it #the pink and teal would look amazing #but I don't know if I can prepare multiple layers for that one time #if not it'll just be black line art idk #Fjord would be a really good option too #it could be very fun to play with the green of the hoodie and the green of his skin... #I'm gonna make pictures of the shirt and draw on it digitally to see what works #and I'm very probably gonna do it regardless of if I get my hands on a ticket or not #ikke

workin on a little gift for the holidays for y'all bc i'm so damn slow with the affair au (which i've weirdly started writing backwards? it's funny how that helps sometimes, but it's helped a lot)

it's not gonna be super polished and spit-shined like i usually try for, but it's something i was hoping to get around to every year, if that doesn't spoil the surprise lol

#it'll def be shorter than usual but then again #every time i say that it's never fucking short so i dont even know why im trying to speak that into existence #it's like i literally cannot shut up even when writing amazing it's a real talent that i have #plus im also trying to finish my hawkeye cracked video so i at least pushed one out this year #LMAO #goddamn well hopefully now that i'm moved out #i can save up for a beefy PC with better processing power for editing #and better storage #bc lemme tell ya an ipad is not great #and i need my mac memory for..... ok fine the sims dont judge me please i have an addiction #which is impressive of me to maintain bc whenever i buy an expansion pack #fucking TD locks my card and i have to call to confirm the purchase #do you have any idea #how humiliating that has been #literally for over a decade #even with the sims 3 #they just. constantly have done that #and i have constantly had to admit that yes #yes i am doing that. yes again. yes it's that much. yeah but this time it has cute hair cuts i like. #or yeah it's tiny home living . how do i explain that like a normal person. i talked w an agent abt the chickens for five minutes.

You know what? Yes, top surgery WOULD fix all my problems. Fuck you

#it literally would. my mental health is poor BECAUSE OF MY BODY. #if i could fix it then i WOULD BE HAPPIER #i dont want top surgery cause itll fix my mental illness or whatever the fuck my parents think. #i want it cause IT'LL FIX ISSUES THAT MY MENTAL ILLNESS IS MAKING WORSE #does that make sense??? #idk how to communicate this to my parents. #like no i don't think testosterone or top surgery is a magic button to make all my problems go away. #BUT IT KIND OF ALSO IS. IT'D HELP A FUCKING LOT. #craperonipizza post #transgender #ftm trans #im SO FRUSTRATED #vent post #i mean im doing it anyway cause i need to and im a fucking adult. #but the opposition sucks yknow. #i know where theyre coming from. like concern bc yes its surgery and testosterone effects can be permanent...but thats kind of the point. #dont get me wrong my parents are doing amazing. i love them a lot #but its also so frustrating. cause they can't really understand what im going through no matter how much i talk to them. thats just a fact.

@cestlefantome has the rewrite!!! :D

#i didn't expect them to get it! #the book's reach is small compared to others in their collection #maybe they remembered when i told them about it last year! ;) #that was before it was retitled! :o #they have it at long last! :D #smol typos and all ;) #i'm so honored!! :D #just like the beatles were when they heard themselves on the radio for the first time! ^_^ #now it'll sit next to the other amazing phantom books on their shelf! #i hope they love it! ;D #i like how it's next to susan kay's phantom since that book is around the same page size! ;) #last year i looked at ebay pics of the book to see what the rewrite would look like #and now the rewrite will be on the same shelf as it! :D #that's how you know you've made it! ;D #poto rewritten

[ravenousgoblin]

there is actual fear and anxiety in me knowing that in less than 24hrs

probably even less than 12 if we're honest

Baxter's DLC will be out and there will be

no

more

no more additions to OL1......oh lord

it's like my world is collapsing even though I know it's building and getting stronger and thriving and can advance

#it just feels heartbreaking to be at the end #but ol2 is already so amazing with its betas I know it'll be fantastic #and hey with OL2 it don't be the end of baxter #we'll see him again as a prescious baby #our life #our life beginnings & always #our life baxter #our life: beginnings & always #baxter ward #ol1

Look, I like the idea of Bowser not recognizing Luigi when he's disguised as Peach as much as the next guy, I really do, but I feel like there is a lot of unwholesome potential between Bowser and Luigi if the Koopa King almost immediately found out that he kidnapped the wrong Peach.

#and when I say unwholesome I don't mean it the sense that Bowser finding out that Peach is actually Luigi would break his heart #I mean it in more of a canon scene where he would quickly find out about the fake Peach and would then hold Luigi for ransom #or just kill him if you want Bowser to be really mad about the brothers and Peach pulling the switheroo #Bowser may be an idiot but he's not stupid #especially if you take into account the canon detail that Bowser's in love/may have an enormous obsession with Peach #a true obsessor like Bowser would know that Peach's eyes are dark blue like the color of the ocean #and while Luigi would have blue eyes his would be much lighter than Peach's (i.e. sky or baby blue) #(or he could just straight up have green eyes if you follow the DIC cartoons) #plus Bowser could just also take/rip the mask off of Luigi's face and instantly find out about the princess switcheroo #Bowser has really amazing immunity so I feel like it would not affect him all that much if “Peach” got him sick #at least I feel like he has great immunity considering the number of times he should've died in every Mario game known to man #oh and don't worry about me forgetting about this idea #because I can safely assure you that I will bring up this idea again sometime in the future #granted I don't know when I'll exactly bring it up again but I have every intention to explore this idea in more detail one day #and I can probably promise you that it'll happen at a time when you'll least expect it #consider this a fun and mysterious sneak peek of what's to come #luigi #luigi nintendo #bowser #bowser nintendo #bowuigi #bowser x luigi #super mario #super mario bros #headcanons #mario headcanons #mario fanfic #mario fanfic idea #foreshadowing
