Because I'm seeing cakegate on my dash again, let's stir up some old drama

#playchoices #the freshman #choices tf #the royal romance #choices trr #I'm gonna say it—Drake's was dumb as hell but you can't deny it was p in character for him #them rewriting it + trying to make him out to be a non-toxic masculinity icon later on was what wasn't consistent #(& you cant say the latter was character growth because they never presented it as a journey they just pretended the other never happened) #and see if he didn't want a pink cake just because he doesn't love the color that's valid #it's that he specifically said it was because it was girly that makes it a fragile masculinity thing #and by extension it's also a sexism thing and even a homophobia thing if you wanna view it that way too #the Abbie thing made people mad enough to give it a name (cakegate) and it sure is the icing on the cake for an already loathsome character #anyway I'm voting Abbie cause I hated it but I still think the fuss about the Drake one wasn't really warranted #like yeah I maintain it's a problematic comment but idk what to tell you man that's just the dude you romanced #like what aspect of his characterization leading up to that moment makes it take you by surprise or think it's ooc #and I say this as someone who originally married Drake and had him as one of my favorite LIs but that was Drake being Drake honestly #unconquered queries

I was unfortunately made aware today that a large part of my ability to recreate Hannibal Lecter's vaguely flirty, entirely serious, absolutely pretentious and philosophical manner of speaking in my writing now in my 20s is due in large part to a 44k Ouran High School Host Club fanfic I wrote in my teens where Benio Amakusa was a recurring character with a lot of dialogue

#tbh that fic is my baby #i haven't reread it in like 2 years #and now that I'm doing it with friends I'm realizing how cringey the fic is but honestly it's kinda part of it's charm #like part of me wants to rewrite it now that I have better writing and storytelling skills #but I think writing it better might actually make it worse overall #anyway #my writing #hannibal lecter #hannibal fic #ohshc #<- i hope y'all know this is what i think of each time i see bshci #ohshc fanfic #benio amakusa

My stupid story is 20k now how I do make it stop 😵

#Every time I read through to edit I end up adding another scene this is so fuckin embarrassing #It's not even in chapters it's just one massive thing #The beginning is bad though I have to figure out how to rewrite that but lmao a fixed version with dialogue will be another 2k aha ha ha #There's one long scene I could remove and make that it's own one shot but also god how about I Don't #I'll probably end up deleting it because it's just. Too much. Compared to everything else. But also. What if I didn't? 🤷‍♀️ #I think what's hilarious is that I had Plans. About Themes. And Character Studies. And Comparisons #And idk if it's even really in there and visible and not just 20k of 'what if I just wrote the most indulgent shit for me specifically' #And then ended it with an emotional slap to the face because I love building things up and then tearing it apart #(and it does that really well; I'm giggling into my hands - I'm dancing on my own grave) #I've cried so many times during this stupid fic #*deletes other comment* #Anyway my OTHER fic that I also indulgently love and is way too long and made me cry way too hard every fuckin scene #Does not make me cry anymore and idk if I broke it somehow in the editing or if I'm just immune to its devastation now #Honestly concerned that when I post these I'll be like 'meh; it's just ok' and then anyone who reads it is like ☠️☠️☠️☠️ #Hehehehe #Ok I'm done

oooh yeahhhh. like. they must have heard about the things he'd done in troy. But have they heard all of it? Have they heard of Palamedes, the Thracians and the countless other people? Will they still see him as the same man? Do they still care about him? Are they still waiting for him? No, no - he is the same man,, he must be. he must be the same man. He needs to get to them. He is convincing himself that he is the same. He needs them.

We love self-doubt on a tuesday don't we

Heads up, I am probably the most off track I've ever been because I'm just all over the place right now :'D Hope you don't mind. I DO make a point but it takes a long time to get there. I was just... a LOT of thoughts and it's kind of all over the palce. I'm really sorry 😅

YESSS!! I mean Palamedes dad DOES try to convince her that "Odysseus is bringing home a new bride" where she's like "You're trying to tell me, that my husband, one of the biggest simps to ever simp, is replacing me?? when he knows damn well that I'm the best thing that's ever happened to him??? You and your son are both scum. Get the fuck outta my sight."

HE'S STILL THE SAME MAN!!! He's just so...shattered. This is still the man who deeply loves his wife and son. Still the man who would do anything and everything for them. If they said "I'm cold" he'd get gasoline and matches to light the world on fire if that's what was needed. (very much "Odyssey version" haha as Epic is...Nicer? definitely WOULD still "trade the world To see my Son and Wife" but Epic is more..."Selfless"?? idk how to describe but you know. not as much of a "rude asshole" like he is in the Iliad especially (rereading it now, literally basically the only person he wasn't an ass to at some point were simply dudes he didn't have a lot of moments WITH in the Iliad haha) if he had moments with a person, he was a dick to them at some point. )

Like this is very much the same man. The man who made the wedding bed (and palace!) that meant so much to them! like, from what I know grooms WERE supposed to decorate their houses for their brides but not build an entire NEW one! Not MAKE A BED OUT OF A LIVING TREE!!! (Odysseus is canonically a hopeless romantic! Wedding Music when they reunite? the language used when he talks about her speaks to her? their bed and palace? LIKE?!?!? you cannot tell me this fucker wouldn't be into romcoms and disney movies He would still be like "just kill the villain" but he'd be all over the "romance" This is the same man who proudly declares himself as "Telemachus' loving father". He's still the man who is proud and cunning and a bit of an ass.

He's just...incredibly SCARRED. He's still there. That's what he's HOPING. He KNOWS he still loves them and is still so devoted. That's the Odysseus that they know. That's what matters, right? Right?! He LOVES them! He's trying SO hard. That's what matters, right?!

Penelope sees and knows this. but he doesn't yet and for once in his life he cares SO badly about what someone thinks about him.

Agamemnon calls him a coward? Tell him that Telemachus' loving father's head would be ripped off its shoulders before he's a coward.

Penelope simply vagues that their marriage bed is possibly gone? DISASTER! SOBBIGN! He's been STABBED!

That's "her Joy". That's her husband. No matter HOW he comes back. She will love him regardless because that's HIM.

Small thing I'm adding because it kind of has to do with it: I'm kind of one who loves the idea of Penelope hating songs about him in the war because of "That's not my Odysseus" in a way. ( I mean it is. but it's a PART of him. That is his "war" side. haha. She knows this and is the same way.) And I think Telemachus telling her to not care is kind of showing how "Telemachus doesn't see the "father". He doesn't see the loving man he is capable of being. He just sees the "Warrior"" She KNOWS that Odysseus is so much more than that. But probably since Telemachus is surrounded by asshole men right now, he's probably clinging to "my dad was a hero and I can be too!" instead of "my dad pretended to be mad to not leave our side. My dad exposed his ruse simply to save ME. He made a bed out of a living tree for my mother out of love"

He's only hearing about his darkest parts and that's PART of the reason why this poor boy is hurting so much. So ANGRY.

#I guess you could call me “Everything. Everywhere. All at once” :'D OVERWHELMED BY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS #I might...rewrite this at a later point where I'm more coherent😅 #adhd is a bitch😭 I already have a hard time regulating my emotions and thoughts and me having a LOT of them makes it worse😭 #I fucking love this ask dude. it's so good. good thoughts/writing homie :D #and yes I love self doubt tuedays (actually funny enough. technically still monday for me but I know you're WAY ahead of me for time! :D ) #ask #nikoisme #shot by odysseus #honestly in the odssey. I think he KNOWS she wouldn't be “freaked out” by his “fucked up-ness” he was more worried about #“does she still love me after all this time? even after 20 years? has she found someone else?

I saw a post about racist Jasper stans bitching bc they’re not able to enjoy shitty J*sper content bc of tags or whatever lol and someone said: “What is there even to enjoy?”. I had to laugh and I thought if you bc it’s so true. Most Jasper content isn’t even that enjoyable. It’s mostly the same boring white-supremacist garbage that I’ve seen before; even the jalice stuff is played out.

The only J*sper content I enjoy is content where he is worshipping Maria, thinking about Maria, talking about Maria, loving Maria, doing anything for Maria tbh. Is that bad? XD I owe it to you and your writing! idk something about a 19/20 year old dumbass confederate falling madly in love with a native brown woman and literally seeing her as a god-like figure as she’s basically handing him his karma for his racist crimes sends me. Ppl act like he was this awesome person before Maria and that it’s her fault he’s gutter trash now with the C*llens but he was gutter trash BEFORE he met Maria. She honestly made him so much better, stronger and MUCH more interesting. She literally created the man these stans thirst over so much. She is the blueprint.

the thing anti-María Jalice stans don't get is, without María, you do not have Jasper. for everything Jasper is, María is the catalyst ❤️

canonically, all we know about Jasper Hale pre-change is 1) he was born in Texas, 2) faked his age to join the Confederate Army* where he became the youngest major in Texas, & 3) was persuasive

beyond that, María made Jasper into the man the fandom adores. you like that he's an empath? guess whose venom made him one. you like that he's a warmonger? guess whose war he fought for. you like that he has a troubled past? guess who put the trouble in it. you like that he's "soft" "empath" "baby" (tbh i don't see it but ok)? guess who made him want to be that way. you like that he's submissive to Alice? guess who broke him in first.

you want Jasper with Alice but wish the María era didn't exist? lol just say you want the hot faceless Confederate to get with the psychic Mississippian & go

as for me, MARÍA ALL DAY BAYBEEEEE

here we have a woman who has suffered all her life at the hands of colonizers. born "1800s or earlier," we can suppose she has firsthand experience with colonization (at least Napoleon's invasion) & lived through Mexico's War of Independence. i.e., she has a deep familiarity with what it means to have your way of life ripped from you by invaders. PLUS she was a victim of Benito's army in the Southern Vampire Wars; her entire coven including her mate was killed.

& despite her losses, she rallied to take back her land & drive out her oppressors. baseline, she is a strong, cunning, powerful indigenous woman with a deep love for her community and her people. HOT

now let's look at Jasper, a bright leader in the Civil War who suffered defeat at the hands of the Union army. yes, María changed him. but did she force him to stay? to go to war? the newborn vamp with the strength & speed to overcome a "grown" vamp chose not to do so. the empath with the power to make anyone disregard him chose not to use it. some say María was "abusive" & "manipulative," but few acknowledge that Jasper had a choice.

why didn't Jasper leave? because he's submissive to anyone more powerful than him. because he was a loser. because the Southern Vampire Wars gave him a second chance at victory. because "empath" or no, he wanted to play war & win.

that's what's compelling about Jasper/María. as wrong as Jasper was for fighting for the Confederacy, he believed he was fighting for the same thing as she. he saw his way of life destroyed by "invaders" & fought back. it's a sick & twisted parallel between oppressor & oppressed that becomes subverted as their relationship goes on... & one that can heal them both.

María's experience with colonizers gives her a visceral picture of what it means to be oppressed... but her relationship with Jasper gives her the victory & emotional reflection she needs to move on. Jasper's military training gives him the hunger & knowledge for war... but his "curse" of empathy provides him with the tools he needs to recognize & address the horrors of his problematic past & move on.

tbh, i find Jasper & María are perfectly suited for a delicious character-driven narrative. Maria's story is that of a traumatized indigenous woman on a path from colonization to decolonization, & the sacrifices & destruction she endures realize that vision. Jasper's story is that of a troubled man on the path from self-hate to self-love, & what it means to undo the societal teachings/traumas & forge a life of empathy & forgiveness.

& that is something Alice alone can never give Jasper.

tl;dr all hail Queen María

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.

#Wish #Queen Amaya #I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like #I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also #I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art #And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG? #I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more #but her good character is so interesting and complex #she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite. #Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect? #A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...? #I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain? #Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library #THOUSANDS OF BOOKS. #And knows basic protection spells #She's a devoted leader. #Like. #Idk #She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him. #She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay? #She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind. #And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo #But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be- #-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about? #Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior? #And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening! #I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage? #It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie.. #Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya #And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

[violetnerves]

The one bit in the cutscene before the Race the Vale mission where Pete just casually refers to Jimmy a psychopath after he calls Gary a snake never fails to crack me up.

And Jimmy just goes "Aw C'mon" in such a lax way, he doesn't even seem to really deny it all that strongly like damn.

I can only take his response to mean that either Jimmy's just been called a psycho so much that it's a casual insult to him (which is kinda sad and also a little funny tbh.) or he's aware and just kind of a little offended that a friend of his is putting him being a psychopath on the same level as what Gary did. (Which is kinda funny tbh.)

It's probably the former, though, because if Jimmy didn't know what a sociopath was when Algie mentioned it, then he probably doesn't entirely know what a psychopath is either.

#bully canis canem edit #bully game #bully scholarship edition #Honestly I don't think mental illnesses/disorders in the game are handled that well #But I think it'd be interesting if both Jimmy and Gary had been written like they both had Anti-social Personality disorder #I dunno #I'm mostly saying this cause i'm kind of doing that sort of thing in my rewrite and think the idea is interesting tbh. #jimmy hopkins #vi rambles

Also. Unrelated. To my previous post.

I've been thinking a lot about the past stuff Kyoko doesn't know about because here's the thing - even if she doesn't know, Junko should - and trying to find the root of this whole knight thing and, uh.

Yeah, at least in backstory terms, this is probably definitely a past ship. Just in terms of this makes sense from what I'm gathering, this is the general scenario I'm seeing.

But it doesn't necessarily need to be that way?

(And I still don't know if Junko was even remotely being legit or if she was just...being Junko. Because like. Matsuda was still very much a thing. I'm definitely already implying that Mikan was a thing. And that's a really quick cycle from one to the other to a third there, especially if Mikan should have been simultaneous to probably both to some extent (and if I remember correctly, DR3 makes that SUPER abusive on Junko's end, and actually coming out of everything with Matsuda, I could see how she ended up there, but that's another theory to think about after I've actually seen DR3). Like there's some layers specifically just to the Junko side of this that I. still want to think through.)

#musings #bandit writes fic #dr1 end rewrite fic #idk if post all the things that'll come back #idk if junko was just playing with her #or if it started that way and changed #(i've gotten some very strong general ideas from the kyoko side which #i guess makes sense since the vast majority so far has been in kyoko's pov) #but i think even without that aspect #right now i have two backstory explanations for /knight/ #one that is a general and not enogiri #one that takes that a step further in the context of enogiri #and honestly it could have been just as much junko literally just wanting to know how far kyoko'd gotten #in terms of her ultimate despair investigation #so it's.... #i don't know? #i'm intrigued #(and also if backstory enogiri then how it's set up feels very much like it would parallel naegiri #or whatever that's called #which i think actually plays into the themes/idea i'm trying to present here #and also one i think the game semi-presents but...not in the way i'm using it #based on stuff junko says #and also based on how to raise monokuma from chibimi #a n y w a y) #the question really comes back to: what is the story? how does this serve the story? #(don't ask me how it ends yet because i haven't figured that out #i haven't decided if makoto was right yet)

"Oh yeah, for sure."

Sitting up, brushing leaves out of her hair, Webby surveyed the debris around them. If it wasn't the best she'd ever come out of an adventure, it also sure wasn't the worst either. And hey, they'd got what they'd come for...

Whatever exactly it was. A relic of Rossiel's history, she had gathered: but while Webby knew plenty about the ancient culture's of earth, she felt like she'd only just scratched the surface of all there was to know about her new friend's people.

She just still wasn't sure she should ask, when it was a sensitive subject for the other girl.

Rather, she shrugged, rubbed the back of her head a little.

"I mean, I always feel like any top secret infiltration that you can get out of without getting almost sacrificed to an undead mummy is a successful one, heh."

👀 Kreerence fic for the ask game

Delighted to receive this ask, thank you anon! ❤

(To the anon who asked about 'Daniel catching Kreese and Johnny in the act'; I'm working on it, I want to reply with the finished ficlet in response to your ask 😁)

This fic is set in 1986, and the thought behind it was 'what if Kreese had never been interested in Johnny that way, but when he runs into him a couple of years later and Johnny tries to get into his pants, Kreese realizes that he isn't as averse to the idea as he thought he would be'.

I wanted Kreese to have a few hang-ups about it and to write it from his POV. Here's a snippet:

We sit next to each other at the crowded bar and I slam back the whiskey. Before the sting of it has fully dissipated he’s already ordering my next one. By the time the third whiskey is burning a path down to my stomach I’m able to meet his heated gaze without the urge to punch his lights out. Emboldened, Johnny places a hand high on my thigh. It’s subtle enough that nobody should notice unless they pay close attention, but it certainly isn’t intended as subtle, not with the way he keeps softly squeezing the part of my leg right next to my groin. It’s not quite enough to really get me going, but I can definitely feel myself stir.

I’ve never considered him before, because he was a kid back then and I’m not into kids. Now though, he’s between youth and adulthood and the way he acts makes me see him in a new light. Am I really going to allow this to happen? And how can I know for sure that this isn’t some ploy to get back at me? But no, nobody can fake interest like this. He’s so blatant about it too, I suspect that's partly the booze and because he can tell at least part of me is interested. 

No promises that I'll ever finish this, but who knows, out of my two WIPs it definitely has my priority. Thanks again for asking about it!

#kreerence #dining answers #anon #😊❤ #honestly I might rewrite the whole thing but for now this is what I've got #I always get so nervous (and sad) about 0 notes #and start thinking about all the stuff that's wrong with my writing. which is. a lot. #ignore me I'm spiraling 😂

Jojo is a really frustrating series to be honest. As much as I like a lot about it, its style, and a lot of the concepts it explores, I also have to acknowledge that a lot of it is... well, really bad, both in the "poorly written" sense and (especially) in the "gross messaging" sense. As analysis is something I enjoy with media I do feel like a central part of me liking the series is also heavily, heavily criticizing it.

#shoe jojo criticism #rambles #idk just thinking about this #short posts #i kinda like jojo in a ''i want to tear this series down and rewrite everything about it'' way if that makes sense #diavolo especially exemplifies this #though honestly in order to fix diavolo's problems you'd kind of have to make him a completely different character #which is also part of why he's so interesting to me in the first place. you get what i'm saying
