I've recently come across a couple of season 4 fanfics that dealt with the Chat Noir feeling left out and quitting thing and every time I read one I can't help but think "man did they chose the wrong side of the masks AND the wrong characters for this conflict. Chat Noir comes across terribly here". It's weird to see people try and justify his behavior and act like Ladybug was in the wrong.

Was Ladybug being the best friend ever? No, but friendship is secondary when they're wearing the masks. Paris comes first. Chat Noir quitting because he doesn't feel special enough is literally him endangering everyone he loves because his crush isn't paying enough attention to him and I truly can't tell if the show wanted us to feel like he was in the right or the wrong here. In Kuro Neko, Catwalker actually does acknowledge the lesson he needed to learn

There's nothing wrong with you. Maybe the boy who was Cat Noir was more sensitive than it seemed. But his feelings for you shouldn't force you to pay more attention to him than to others. You take care of everybody equally, Ladybug. 

And Chat Noir apologizes at the end of the episode for causing Ladybug trouble, but the whole thing is incredibly lackluster. They don't actually have a meaningful conversation about why he was feeling that way and the rest of the season seems to present Ladybug as being in the wrong, especially the final! Trusting Alya leads to nothing meaningful and not trusting Chat Noir loses her the miraculous. Basically, I still have no idea what season 4 was trying to do with this conflict and it's been dropped forever now that Adrien is fully reduced to nothing more than arm candy.

HOWEVER, this basic setup could have been a fantastic b plot if the "Adrien doesn't feel needed" conflict wasn't a Ladynoir conflict, but was instead a conflict between Adrien and Nino. Move Rocketear up to earlier in the season and have the fallout from that be that Adrien's relationship with Nino is strained. He can still feel leftout because Ladybug has a bigger team now, but instead of him pouting about it and skipping fights, focus on how that need for connection has transferred to his civilian life, but he doesn't have Kagami or Nino now and he's lost. Then you can either have an Adrien and Nino b plot because that relationship needs more screen time OR you use this to make Adrien and Marinette start to grow closer because Rocketear's fallout is also Alya paying more attention to Nino. Then, when season 5 does the whole crush switch, it actually feels earned.

#ml writing salt #ml writing critical #adrien deserves better #marinette deserves better #ml season 4 salt #Can you tell that I'm a little tired of fics that try to blame Ladybug for Chat Noir feeling left out? #It's reasonable for him to have those feelings but boy did they have him express them in a way that was totally unbecoming for a hero #She's a little too busy saving the world and trying to stay sane to worry about his emotions #Especially when he never actually tells her that something's wrong #Though I will absolutely grant you that he needed to know about the Alya situation and keeping him in the dark was BS #I love Alya but that plot was so stupid for so many reasons #It felt like it was just added for cheap drama and not because it was a good addition to the show

i was falling asleep, and then i thought about how Binah in LoR was probably becoming increasingly lonely after her time in Lob Corp, which is why she was trying so hard to have teatime with the other librarians and now i am 100% awake

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #well i'm definitely not tired anymore #this thought is giving me too many ideas #like if you're assigned to her floor and maybe were the first person to attend teatime #because she extends the offer to her assistant librarians i said it so it's true #would love to write or draw this weekend but i'm busy #so i'll let this marinate here

Coruscant gets its own Guard.

As her duty as the Queen keeps her on Alderaan, Breha wishes to see more of what happens on Coruscant, and how the troopers stationed on the planet are doing, as the war rages on all across the Galaxy. Bail sends her pictures of the Guard, and one Commander catches her eye.

Then she hands Commander Fox her comlink frequency.

Then he picks up her call.

Part 2 of Up that Mountain, from Breha’s point of view.

#it's 3 am I am so tired but I wanted to put this out now haha #anyway we are back at it #the second part and the breha chapters are here! #updates are every other week if not otherwise stated #I have exams I need to study for #but my therapist told me to write even if I'm busy with school so I don't become too anxious lmao #star wars #the clone wars #sw #tcw #bail/breha/fox #breha organa #bail organa #commander fox #my writing #my fics #sw fics

Watching Wojack Horseguy for the third time and it is still so fucking good and still really annoys me in many ways

#Which has absolutely cemented my art/writing block because I am way too focused on Bojangles Horsedude #I think one of the annoyances for me is honestly just that like... It's Wacky Hijinks to Serious Business extremes sometimes feel like #distinct modes and not so much like places on a spectrum #Not that there can't be moments of pure dark sincerity and pure goofy shit but. YKWIM probably. #IDK I appreciate when dark comedy finds ways to make the comedy and horror/tragedy/etc occur simultaneously and be the same things #Which the show definitely does a lot of the time but not quite enough for my specific tastes sometimes... Though I did #absolutely love the last 3 seasons and I'm jsut getting to them again now #The first time I watched it I was kind of just tired of seeing the guy fuck up in pretty much the same ways repeatedly (Fully understood #that was the point. Still annoyed me) but this time I'm like yayyyy wooohoo yayyyyy. Though we'll see if I get tired again #eventually...

In honor of Mario Day (and the movie 2 hype 🤭) here's a throwback to the first Mario fic I wrote after a long time, just after the movie's release.

#legit just realised it would've made more sense for me to do a link in the first place 😅 #for anyone who wants to skip a long post #I know it's old and flawed #but I still love it #super mario #mario #luigi #mario movie #the super mario bros movie #super mario movie #mario and luigi #mario fanfiction #fanfiction #mario fanfic #fanfic #multicolour ink writes #my writing #sorry I can't schedule stuff for specific days because I'm either too busy or tired #so here's a throwback

Rotom phone hovered over Kieran checking on him. Time felt so slow to it and the phone itself was eagerly waiting for Florian to arrive. The last message Florian replied was about 30 minutes ago. He already noticed it wasn’t Kieran sending him the messages either so he knew something was wrong. Kieran is still not wanting to talk with them nor even wanting to reach out to his Pokemon to hug them in comfort. Furret was still beside him on the bed with its head resting ontop of Kieran’s head keeping him company.

Small knocks were heard and a click of the door followed after. “Hey Kiki, are you okay?” Florian called out softly, walking up to his bed quietly.

Florian sat on the bed carefully close to Kieran placing a hand on his shoulder to show that he was there with him. “I’m here for you, Kiki. I’ll stay here as much as I can to help you,” He looks over at Rotom with a questioning look. “And I’m sure you have something to tell me on what happened with Kieran, Roto?”

-

After explaining everything that happened with Kieran yesterday to Florian, he let out a frustrated sigh. “...Fuck. I didn’t think she would go this far.” The teen pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “I lost contact with my old friends back at Galar because I accidentally broke my phone and to be fair I’m not good at remembering contact information. I even forgot to back up my data.

“Though I have a hunch she scoured through the internet to get into contact with Kiki somehow or a little birdmon told her. Not sure but,” Florian shook his head in dismay. “She has an unhealthy obsession with me despite not showing interest in her even telling her myself didn't work as much. I guess me losing contact with the my old friends including her really just made her snap eventually.”

Rotom phone looked at Florian then at Kieran. “Iz zhe coming to go after Kieran herzelf then?”

“..Most likely yes unfortunately since she might know where he is since Reina has another friend who doesn’t like me either to get this kind of information.” He replied in a tired manner. “I was lucky enough to move away from Galar. Not my best years of my life I would admit. I was pretty miserable and not what I used to be than I am now. 

“Anyway, I requested days off already and put some of my work on Drayton and the other elite 4. They were fine with it so don’t worry.” Florian stood up and stretched. “Gonna have to break Kiki out of this funk and I’m going to do it no matter how long it takes.”

[ Florian is available for asks!* ]

#rotomblr #pkmn irl #text post #// *Not always and this also applies to asks directed at him! #// Sleepover arc. /j #// Pretend I posted this after an hour of the previous post SKJLHRSNJHNHJS. #// I got really busy with stuff and my sleep schedule is DOWNRIGHT atrocious. #// I would've added more things on this post but I don't want it to be too long and I am tired. :( Also I'm not good at writing oopsie

i'm not really upset but just doing a little introspection while i filter through my drafts:

i don't expect all memes to turn into threads, but when an overwhelming majority of them get ignored it's so discouraging. like, i took what little spoons i had left to reply to people's asks and for all i know they're not even reading it

obligatory disclaimer that this not directed at anyone here in particular. it's just an observation about tumblr rp in general after looking at my other blogs (from other fandoms) this morning and finding memes i replied to 1 to 2 years ago and still have no like or comment or any kind of acknowledgement that they read it

i realize every time i sit down to reply to memes my brain goes "is it worth spending what little energy i have for writing on something that will likely be completely ignored?" and that sucks. i wish i could just enjoy writing everything and not feeling bad if it's not at least acknowledged and end up feeling guilty bc i want engagement :')

#everyone's tired and busy no one owes me anything i'm being entitled yadda yadda yeah yeah i know #i'm mostly annoyed at myself for not having enough energy to do More #i do also set myself up by not writing 'desirable' muses so there's that too #i appreciate so much all the people who always engage with me on this blog though🩷 #its been a pleasant surprise how many people are interested in zuriel and interact with her!! so i'm not complaining hehe #˗ˏˋ 🩷 ˎˊ˗⠀ooc. #ask to tag idk what to tag this as

[flootzavut]

This is your irregular reminder that if you are frustrated with a fic not being finished with, it's not just probable but likely that your pet fanwriter is more frustrated with it than you could ever be. Be nice to your pet fanwriter, it's tough out there when the muse isn't talking to you & life isn't going well. Please don't assume we just don't care or have abandoned stories without saying so, & bear in mind that approaching comments with that attitude is also absolutely the worst way to achieve your desired result. Absolutely nothing is as dispiriting to me personally as getting a comment that's just complaining that something hasn't been updated, or badgering me about something that hasn't been explained yet.

That's not to say that you can't ask for updates! I love when people are excited to read more. Just don't demand, don't act entitled, don't assume your pet fanwriter just couldn't be arsed.

Ways to ask that don't make me want to throw something:

"I loved this story, I'm subscribing!"

"I can't wait to see what happens next, I really enjoyed XYZ thing that happened in this chapter."

"I'd love to see more in this 'verse, but I really enjoyed this."

"[if you're a writer, any kind of empathetic understanding that writer's block sucks]."

"[Almost any kind of real review] Looking forward to more/Can't wait for the next chapter!"

Basically, let your pet fanwriter know what you enjoyed, let them know that you're excited for more, but don't act like you paid them for a complete story and only got half. We write fanfic for free, for love of the show/book/media and for love of the fandom. We get paid in kudos and comments only. We have lives, some of them more conducive to turning out fic regularly than others. We too have been affected by the pandemic and other shit that's happening in the world.

And I cannot overstate this, so I'm saying it again: complaining, demanding, etc, do not get you the result you want. Well okay, there may be a few people out there for whom someone stomping into their inbox and going "WHERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER?" will work, but they're the exception, not the rule. I have talked with at the very least dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of fanwriters over multiple fandoms, and I've yet to meet one who gets a comment like that and is inspired to go to their word processor. At best, it makes them go "ahhh shit I guess it's been a while since I updated that"; at worst (and in my experience most common), it puts them off writing that particular story or possibly anything, because the only feedback they're getting is "not good enough, not fast enough, you owe me more" and that sucks.

(If you know the person very, very well and know they will take it as a joke or that they are one of the few who gets inspired by this, that's the exception, but don't do it on stories written by people who are strangers to you.)

Frankly, you're much, much more likely to prod your pet fanwriter into creating more by typing "♥️" and hitting the kudos button than by trying to guilt them into it. Guilt doesn't work. Encouragement does. If your desired end result is "they finish the story" then "why haven't you finished the story/where is the next chapter/update soon" is absolutely not going to achieve that. It's helping absolutely no one.

Train yourself to leave a heart or a "loved this, can't wait for more" or even just a kudos instead of a demand, and you at the very least have not made your fanwriter feel useless that day, and might have inspired them go back to the coalface.

At the end of the day, it boils down to treating your pet fanwriter as a human whose life probably doesn't revolve solely around updating the one fic you're obsessed with. Have a heart, that's all 🙂

#fanfic #care and feeding of your local fanwriter #fan writing #fandom #please be nice to your fanwriter #you can really fuck up someone's day by whining at them about how you don't want to wait for the next chapter #trust me #we are so much more frustrated than you #we are trying to write #we are dealing with the shiftiness of life #we are suffering from writer's block #we are tired or busy or any number of other things #when you go #you're taking too long #where's the next chapter #why haven't you updated #you're becoming one more thing weighing us down #it does no one any good #stop doing it #I'm begging #IT. DOESN'T. WORK. #this has been a PSA #hopefully a gentle one #but informative

Augh

#i miss writing -2+2 #i knew things would get slower with college but man :( #i haven't gotten time to actually sit down and write it #at most I've been able to put a few lines down but I can't grt much going like that #i know it's still progress but i REALLY like just getting into it and writings for hours and hours #and so far i haven't gotten time for that because I'm either busy with something else or I'm too tired #on a good note! a fun thing i noticed is that i haven't forgotten things #it's like whenever i spend a little while without writing i place the ideas inside of a drawer #and when i open this drawer again they all flow back into my head imediately #so fun #dra -2+2 #hyena ramblings

the eternal question: is scheduling w friends as an adult That Hard or am I just bad at it

#4 different people have left me on read today; 1 cancelled our plans 4 hours before we were due to meet #I've been sitting home alone for 2 days going insane. looking forward to One (1) coffee date & that fell through #idk why I'm taking it so hard this time I'm usually fine!! but I find myself wishing I didn't have the day off I wish I did have work :( #like it's tiring yeah but it beats sitting here not knowing what to do w myself #& I'm working all weekend & only leaving the house to see the doctor. oh joy #I've been productive ironing writing fixing the car. that's not the problem #I had 4 social plans this month. that's it #that's like seeing each friend once a month!! I can't keep this up!! #is this the norm for adulthood? :( #& on one level I don't want to bother people or be clingy #but on another level I'm baffled that they don't get lonely too #the news has not shut up abt the Loneliness Epidemic since 2021 #but if it's true why do so many people take so long to reply when I reach out? if they reply at all #I'm not going anywhere w this. idk #just one of those days #everything so fuck everybody suck :( #boomers got it right w the whole showing up unannounced at people's houses for a social call with a pound cake #now I have to go through 5 layers of bureaucratic bullshit to see a friend #assuming they don't cancel the day of ofc (((((: #I just wanna be like hello knock knock I am here. tell me abt yr life today & listen to mine & eat this cake #& the worst is when people are like 'I'm cancelling bc I'm tired xx' #OK A) u knew we had these plans for two weeks #but B) I'm tired too! I still love u ur still my friend! let us be tired together! #'I won't be social today I'm tired' my love we could watch movies in silence we could knit we could ball yr socks. idc #'I have to do the big shop today sorry' so do I!!! let us do the groceries together!!! #every time I've pushed someone to come out when they felt depressed or to let me accompany them when they were doing chores #they were like u know what I'm so glad u did this. thank u. this is way better than how I had planned this night to go #& I'm like any time!! I love u!! #& then it just happens all over again next time oh sorry I'm cancelling I'm busy I'm tired #like did u forget what a nice time we had last time? what changed? :(

[jedi-bird]

Bad brain day continues but apparently listening to "I'm Just Ken" while repetitively making the same crochet stitches over and over helps. I just keep telling myself that "I'm great at doing stuff", which makes me giggle a bit.

#had planned to write tonight but I'm scared to turn my laptop on #which is stupid #anxiety is stupid #I'm too tired to fight it tonight #they came and picked up my cat today and the need to keep busy was high #unfortunately I'm starting to feel sick again so focusing and moving was hard #i did do a bit of weeding in the smaller pots and planted the in memorandum onion #and managed to wash most of the laundry though putting it away will have to wait until tomorrow #today i tried to be gentle with myself #tomorrow I'm going to be tough

[meownotgood]

holy crap the writing devil possessed me today and I wrote so much... I wanna write even more but I'm getting tired...

#at some point I just got in the groove and I was writin and it was great #and I wanna write even more so badly but I can feel how tired I am #uuuggghhhh and I have to work tomorrow #decided to add a whole bunch more scenes to the second chapter so it's getting even longer lol #I'm hungry too... I forgot to eat cause I was so busy writing...... oops

one of those crying in the shower kind of days

#my 'best friend' stood me up today #and by stood me up i don't mean canceled last minute i mean didn't show up and only responded to my calls and texts after 45 min #why? she was hanging out with some guy (she met him last week. he's not a christian.) and lost track of time #she's also initiated no contact with me over the last few weeks #the explenation was she thought i was busy with my thesis. as if you can't check in on someone when they're busy #she also gosted me for 3 days (like a month ago??) cause she was asked to share at student group and i couldn't go CAUSE I WAS SICK #I'm just so tired of it at this point #but it's also made me realise i dont really have any close friends #i have lots of friends. sure. and i trust them too. but it's not the kind of close where i can write to them when I've got a problem #like maybe I'd tell them live if they asked me? but I wouldn't really write to them it would just be weird #and so who do I tell that I met S's parents yesterday and even though so many things have happened since then already thats the only one #I can think about???? or that he actually CALLED ME afterwards specifically to tell me what they thought of our church #or that his mom apparently asked him if our relationship was still weird and he said 'yes' and I've been overthinking it cause i thought we #were finally okay and normal and genuinely just friends? #or that his mom said my look is that i dress vintage and it made me SO HAPPY!! that's my look!!! that's how I'm recognisable!!! #the answer is nobody. i have no one to tell :( #mine #s #I'm sorry I guess I had to vent this prolly turned out really really long
