#if you only ever treat your work like a product for others to consume it will probably not bring you very much joy

[rollercoasterwords]

I agree with it all, about the Content problem in fanfic. Besides the example of the Jegulus Strike. People aren't striking because they want more comments or better reviews. They strike because people abuse them because of the art they want to make as they see fit. Because they are tired of being sent death threads and likes. So rather, the strike can be seen as a reaction to the contentification and the aggressive demand for tailor-made fics that don't cause the slightest bit of unease.

totally get that, and that's why i think it was well-intentioned! i'm gonna try to be like...as clear as i possibly can be about why i included it as an interesting example of the sort of internalized producer/consumer culture that we're all being conditioned to use as our framework for interacting w media.

the reason i included the strike as an example of that culture was because it was the same framework, i think, manifesting in a different way. i understood that the impulse behind it was to say "hey!! you guys are treating us badly!! stop it!!" and i don't think any of the people involved were focused on comments or reviews or anything--like, i get that the intention was to try and stand up to harassment.

but to call it a strike is to frame that action within a producer/consumer economy, because a strike positions certain people--in this case, fanfic writers--as laborers and producers, working at the behest of other people--in this case, fanfic readers. that premise already doesn't really work with fanfic, because readers are writers and writers are readers, so there's not a super clear delineation between who is producing and consuming the "product". but a strike places those lines in the sand, and in doing so it reinforces the idea that there are distinct producers and consumers, and that fanfiction is a product for consumption. otherwise, why would it hurt to withhold that product from consumers?

and like, that's what i mean when i say that we are all being conditioned to think this way about media, and if we aren't careful it's really easy to just internalize this producer/consumer culture. because my impression of the strike is that it was sort of a response to the negative side of this consumer culture that was still working within the framework of that consumer culture. like, i saw people saying: hey!! you're treating our stories like a product for YOUR consumption, and that's bad! so we will be withholding those products from your consumption!! and like....that action only works in that context if we're all agreeing that fanfiction is a product for consumption, because striking is inherently tied to a consumer economy. so while well-intentioned, it still falls into the trap of reinforcing this dichotomy between producers/consumers, with fanfiction as the product in the middle. does that make sense?

and like, while most of the stuff i saw about the strike was people trying to draw attention to harassment, i definitely saw some stuff that was very deeply rooted in this producer/consumer mindset. like, i saw a few posts saying things along the lines of "if you DON'T participate in this strike, you DON'T care about your community," and to me that just seemed a little silly, because with fanfiction your readers are supposed to be your community. like...do you get what i'm saying? if you're truly viewing your readers as a community, and not a consumer audience, then who does it benefit to "withhold" the product/labor/etc? and i understand that the issue was that writers were getting a bunch of readers who were treating themselves like a consumer audience and interacting with the fic that way, but like. if the issue is that someone is approaching you like a consumer, responding in a way that reinforces their position as a consumer isn't necessarily going to address the root of the issue, y'know?

anyway, that's why i included the strike in my discussion about Content and producer/consumer mentality--because most of my examples were coming from the end of people treating their fics like products in like...a positive way? like, falling into the trap of consumer culture in a way that sort of embraces it. but the strike, to me, was an example on the opposite end of the spectrum, of trying to push back against the negative impact of that consumer culture without digging all the way down to the consumer culture itself. like...one end of the spectrum is sitting contentedly in the trap, and the other is struggling in the trap, but they are both still very much stuck within the trap. hopefully that makes sense!

#and again my observations on these things is not me trying to make normative judgments about them #like the point of my post about Content was to say #if you only ever treat your work like a product for others to consume it will probably not bring you very much joy #yknow? #like the reason i'm talking about this whole produce/consumer mindset stuff isn't to point fingers at anyone #or be like YOU'RE doing fanfiction WRONG #it's just me reflecting on how we're being conditioned to view art #and offering my own opinion that i think it will probably make us happier in the long run #if we try to avoid the trap of producer/consumer economy thinking #and instead focus on fanfiction as a community space outside that economy #some people disagree with me and think it's a good think that fanfiction is being moved into the mainstream producer/consumer economy! #and that's fine i don't agree but i get why some people feel differently #but just...yeah my original post was only ever a call for reflection it wasn't me trying to say there's a Correct Way to interact w fanfic #ranting and raving

Push It - Ch. II

Part 1 here!, part 3 here.

This is part two to my personal trainer! Miguel AU fic. Some suggestive language in this one but nothing too juicy! Reader is a sweetheart, Miguel is pining.

Also - f!reader

The next two sessions with Miguel pass without a hitch. You were starting to get used to it, and a semblance of a routine was beginning to form. You were still unsure about certain things, and blanched a little when the gym was crowded; but Miguel stayed by your side, a calming presence to help you move forward. You invested in new gym clothes, invested because you spent an eye-watering amount of money on them. But, the pieces were in your favourite colours and fit your body in all the right places. You refused to feel bad for the money spent and they gave you incentive to keep turning up, to keep working hard. To impress Miguel.

No, stop it, those thoughts were not productive. You definitely have not developed a tiny little crush on your trainer.

But if you had, hypothetically, developed a tiny little crush on your trainer; who could really blame you? Miguel was gentle and attentive. Patient in a way that most people weren’t with you, and he was far too easy on the eyes. Not that you would ever say it out loud, but hell, you had eyes and so did everyone else in the room. Miguel attracted attention, heated gazes from the women by the cable machines and jealous glares from the men by the weight racks.

So, it was your fourth week going to the gym and meeting Miguel, and while you didn’t have the confidence yet to step foot in there by yourself; you had started walking every other day. Your diet had also improved a considerable amount. Less takeaway and more protein, though you refused to deny yourself small treats here and there; you definitely felt better for consuming less junk. You were feeling good, stronger, and didn’t feel like throwing up every time you stepped foot into the gym. You didn’t know it, but Miguel was proud of you and your continued efforts. Such a brave girl, showing up on time every session and giving it your all, never complaining or slacking off. You were growing into yourself with a quiet air of confidence. Your fourth week, and you were ready to push yourself further.

Stepping into the rec centre, you find Miguel waiting for you by the kiosk; rolling his eyes at one of Lyla’s quips. He greets you with a smile that fills you with warmth and you find yourself smiling back.

“Heyyyy you! Looking good, girl.” Lyla chirps, giving you an exaggerated look up and down. A small laugh escapes you before you can stop it, and you’re all too aware of the blood rushing to your face.

“Thanks, Lyla, that’s very sweet” is your bashful reply, and you fiddle with the strap of your water bottle.

Miguel claps his hands, startling you only slightly as you turn your attention to him.

“Right, you ready? We’re doing legs today, so I hope you haven’t over done it with the walking” he says, and there is something akin to amusement in his eyes.

You hum in feigned consideration, your forefinger against your chin as if pondering.

“Maybe I should’ve stayed home then, you know I take my walking pretty seriously”

He chuckles, shaking his head. “Oh believe me, I know. Miss pro-walker over here.” He teases, tucking the clipboard under one of his large arms. You only smile back at him coyly, an actual response caught in your throat.

This was a new development, the banter between you two. You enjoyed it maybe a little too much, as did Miguel; but it made the sessions less tense for you. It wasn’t as if Miguel was simply humouring your either, he liked talking to you, liked to coax you out of your shell. It was a slow process to begin with, your walls built high and locked down tight; but he was making steady progress. He knew which exercises you liked and which ones you weren’t so crazy about. He knew that you favoured cardio over resistance training, that the cardio machines were far less daunting for you than picking up a free weight. He knew that you were making efforts outside of the gym to stay active. Though he knew little about you life un-exercise related, he was getting there slowly but surely.

“Are they new shorts?” He asks, giving you an appreciative glance. You usually only wore leggings, but were dismayed to find that they were all in the wash when you were getting ready.

“Oh.. yeah, my leggings were all in the wash” comes your reply, and he nods.

“They look good, you should wear shorts more often” he says, and you feel that familiar sensation of blood rushing to your cheeks once more. The compliment feels a little backhanded, but you know that he doesn’t mean it maliciously; so you thank him quietly.

He starts you on the elliptical, increasing the resistance until you’re sweating and properly warmed up before hitting the weights. Leading you towards the dumbbells, you take a moment to appreciate his physique. Large, broad shoulders and arms to match. His legs are long and toned, his thigh muscles flexing with every step. A firm, toned ass. No, stop that! You swat the thought away, shaking your head. You silently thank the warm up for already making you appear flushed.

He shows you how to perform an RDL, Romanian Dead Lift, your brain supplies; and while you understand the move in theory, you can’t seem to coordinate the move yourself. He watches you closely, his expression softening as you begin to get frustrated with yourself. Stepping closer to you, he reaches out.

“May I?” He asks, gesturing to correct your form. Your heart rate picks up and you nod, his large hands grasping your waist lightly.

“You’re just bending over, not pushing your hips back; you’ll hurt your back like that” he says, voice husky against your ear.

“Bend your legs just slightly, and imagine that you have a rope around your waist that is pulling your hips towards the end of the room. Lower the weights until you can’t anymore, you should feel it in your glutes and hamstrings” he instructs, guiding your hips back through the movement.

The difference is instantaneous, the pull in your muscles evident, and it feels right. His hands linger on your waist and he smiles.

“That’s it, good girl.” He says, and you feel like you might just combust then and there. Good girl bouncing around your head.

“T-thanks” you stutter out, before continuing the movement for another three sets. Your workout comes to and end after working through several more exercises, and the ache in your body feels well earned. Stretching, you eye Miguel shyly as he monitors your movements.

“You’re gonna be sore tomorrow if you don’t stretch your hamstrings properly” he chastises, and you can’t help but scowl.

“Let me show you, if it’s okay?” He offers, kneeling by you. Swallowing thickly, you nod your head. He places one hand on the top of your thigh, just above your knee and the other on your calf; laying you down. He presses your leg forward, his touch firm yet so, so gentle. The stretch is evident, and you know that you weren’t doing it properly before. He moves to the other side of you, doing the same on your other leg. Your hamstring muscle pinches slightly, and you can’t help the quiet whimper that escapes you.

Miguel’s dark eyes flit to your face, gaze narrowed at the noise. If only you knew what he was thinking, perhaps you wouldn’t be so obliged to let him touch you the way he is. The position he has you in, it would be so easy to-

No, he mustn’t think like that. You’re his client, his sweet, sweet client; and you trust him as your personal trainer. He’s in no position to have such lewd thoughts about you, not at work anyway. He lets your leg go gently, standing up.

“I think that’s enough for today, you did a good job, you’re improving a lot.” He says as neutrally as he can, almost coldly and you can’t help but feel slightly disappointed at his tone.

“Same time next week?” He asks, but it’s not really a question- he knows you’ll be there, though of course he wants to hear it from you.

“For sure, thank you Miguel. You’re.. you’re very patient with me” you say meekly, and he gives you a soft look.

“Of course, I want to help you achieve your goals” comes his response, and you nod, smiling.

“Well..” you begin, walking to the exit, “see you next time” you say finally, a warm look on your face.

“I’ll see you then” he replies, saying your name so softly you almost miss it.

You feel like screaming when you get back in your car. You’re screwed, so colossally screwed. Your hypothetical ‘tiny crush’ is real, and is growing at a rapid pace. This is a problem, you think. He’s my personal trainer, I can’t think of him in such a way.

You shake the thoughts away, sighing as your car purrs to life. You’ll be nothing but professional towards him from now on, as his client, nothing more; are your thoughts, but you’re not convinced by your internal monologue.

———————————

So this was part two! Let me know what you think :-))

How to stop being lazy & pathetic ( the wizard liz ) 😘

Realise that nobody cares if you’re lazy

Lazy people are forgotten and end up on the sidelines.

"Nobody cares about your victim mindset...life goes on."

People are busy with their own lives, so you have to do the same.

Privilege and Survival Mode

People in survival mode have no option to be lazy.

Immigrants fleeing war, those needing to survive, and those barely able to breathe have no option but to act.

Those claiming to be lazy are privileged.

Successful and beautiful people benefit from the halo effect.

Effort is required to maintain beauty and success.

Success and beauty often require hard work not visible to others.

Focus on Working on Your Life Force

Health and diet are crucial to maintaining life force.

Moving your body and nourishing it with the right foods is essential.

Relationships with others are important.

Connecting with friends and family is crucial when feeling lazy or down.

Focus on the relationship with yourself.

Treat yourself well, watch what you engage with, and connect with your own energy.

Create Routines

Humans need routines and structure.

Establishing morning and night routines, as well as weekly plans, is crucial.

Cleanliness is important.

A clean space is important for self-respect and productivity.

Motivation for Career in Social Media

"The only time I've ever been on social media was to make a career out of it."

"I wanted to help my mom pay her bills and help her with her finances."

"I'm not gonna let my family suffer. We deserve Financial Freedom."

Overcoming Demotivation

"Remind yourself why did I even start, why did I even want this goal."

"If you still want it, think about what story are you telling yourself."

Healing from Trauma

"I went to a therapist, did hypnotherapies, and went to two years of intensive therapy."

"Don't just go around and tell people because they lose respect for you."

"Don't allow yourself to be stuck in the past."

Progress and Happiness

"The only reason that people become happy is because they constantly progress."

"Learn a new skill, find a new hobby, or create a new project."

Managing Information Overload

"Too much information makes us lazy."

"Don't allow yourself to be consumed in other people's lives."

Embracing Vulnerability

"Courage is being vulnerable and putting yourself out there."

"Don't just react out of emotions, feelings are not always right.

Courage and Vulnerability

"Courage is being vulnerable, go out there, meet new people."

Avoiding experiences due to fear of vulnerability leads to a lack of fulfillment.

Being afraid of getting hurt or betrayed hinders personal growth.

Accepting Help

Learn to ask for and accept help from others.

Refusing help from others can lead to unnecessary struggles.

Accept help as a form of support, sometimes sent by a higher power.

Productivity Mindset

Define productivity on your own terms.

Personalize what productivity looks like for you.

Create a vision of productivity based on your own goals and desires.

Toxic Relationships

Evaluate if the people around you are draining your energy.

Controlling Emotions

Understand that no one can make you feel a certain way.

Change your perspective on situations and people.

Shift your mindset to control how you feel and react to different situations.

Change of Perspective

Change your perspective on challenging situations like a breakup.

View it as a learning experience and a natural part of life.

Embrace the lessons learned and move forward positively.

Focus on Abilities

Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can't.

Identify your strengths and passions.

Practice gratitude for your abilities and what makes you happy.

What drew you to liking Naoya? He’s an extremely unpopular character in the fandom(mostly the English speaking side). I personally like him because i have a habit of liking toxic/evil/problematic characters in fiction and he just had some of my fave characteristics in one lol. Not to mention besides all that he’s just an interesting and well written character. It’s a bit frustrating that others that dislike him won’t acknowledge that he is extremely well written and the perfect example of a product of his environment. Sorry if this is random but I don’t get to see many Naoya fans and I love your works and portrayal of him. I feel you write his character development very well

Hello!!

Aw, don't worry :> this is no bother for me to answer! The only thing I feel kind of bad tho is that I don't know how to explain why I was so attracted to Naoya in the first place hahah 😢

I guess because he's handsome lol, because let's be real, his personality isn't that great... but even then, I also like that because it gave me the idea that he'd be like that to everyone but his special one, you know? In a degree that's how he treats Toji so that might be true. And why not, there's nothing wrong in wanting to "fix" him hehe.

And you're right, he's extremely well written in the sense that he's a product of his environment, but he's also a wasted potential 😭 and what happened afterwards was just oof, he was better off dead you know? like, we could've known so much of the Zen'in... I feel like he was even more slandered; and to believe that came from the author himself!! (or maybe that's just me hoping to get crumbs of Naoya lol)

It's really unfortunate that people tend to do that with characters that are considered villains. Just because he's bad doesn't mean he can't be well written—and to make matters worse, they take it out with their fans too... It's kind of silly to have to remember that what I consume in fiction doesn't go with what I do in real life. :B

BUT anyways— BECAUSE OF THAT I was given more freedom to fill the blanks with just about anything that I want heheheh and I love daydreaming about it.

Whenever writing I try to keep things as canon compliant/realistically as possible, without placing too many limitations on me that I won't be able to do anything—so his development into someone a bit more likeable is... off, very very difficult, but I think very rewarding as well. and sweet because why not.

Hopefully when he's animated we'll be able to see more content of him, as well as more fans :> I feel that after he got his manga cover he kind of... died down a bit. And unfortunately, whenever something does happen in the manga pertaining to him, some take this opportunity to slander his fans or spread misconceptions. (now I got worried thinking what will happen when he's animated damn) but we shall see.

And lastly, but not least, thank you so much for your kind words regarding my work 🥺❤️ I never thought that my writing would ever get attention like this, specially for a character that isn't that popular, but akgagaklghajk aaaaghhhhh it warms my heart to know there's people out there that like Naoya, and my work too 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

TLDR: I like Naoya because I consider him handsome, has a personality that while shit, gives off this bad boy aura of "I hate everyone except my darling." (or idk maybe my delusions are talking haha.) is super talented in what he does, has a prestigious title, yet a lonely life that makes me pity him a bit; and I feel like he'd be a very passionate lover when it comes to it.

Thank you so much for sending in this ask 🤭 I hope it was able to bring you some insights of my mind 😏 Take care and hope to see you soon!!

[drill-teeth]

One of the most jarring things I've noticed about like. Idk the way employment is now vs all the stuff I was taught about job hunting not that long ago is like. How much more applicants and employees are expected to think of and treat the company they work for like...a person. And it's really gross actually.

When I was in highschool (only a few years ago), we had this class. Consumer economics or some shit. And it was a good class. It taught us how to fill out tax forms, read an apartment lease, bank statement, etc. It was basically basic adult finances class. And one of the first pieces of job hunting advice I ever got was "apply to multiple places, and use job offers you get as leverage for better pay at other places". We were taught to like. Be strategic. Market ourselves. Flaunt job offers in interviews to show employers we're a desirable candidate.

And not that having to treat myself like a product to sell to employers wasn't a little dehumanizing in its own way, but at least there was a separation from business me and personal me. Business me could stay at the office. In the interviews. Personal me could go home and not give a shit about all the weird self marketing I had to do because it was just business. Weird and uncomfortable. But at least it was just business.

And now like. I'm seeing all this advice about leveraging other offers being impolite. I'm seeing the interviewers I talk to almost wince when I try and even say I'll think about the job offer and not just accept it that day. I'm seeing windows for accepting job offers get smaller and smaller. Like it's that day or tough shit.

I'm seeing people who are in jobs they hate, making themselves sick. Mentally and physically. Even though they have YEARS of experience under their belt at that job they could slap on a resume and go somewhere else.

I'm seeing these lines between who you are at home and who you are at work get blurred to hell.

I'm seeing more and more dress codes that forbid tattoos or dyed hair. So as long as I'm in that job, I am not allowed to make those aesthetic choices for mu body.

I'm seeing people break down because they'd feel guilty quitting but they hate their job and feel trapped in it.

The job needs you. But it doesn't.

It needs lots of people to be willing to put up with its bullshit. To be lined up outside ready to take your place.

But it doesn't need you. People are lined up to take your spot.

They will replace you.

Whether you quit the job or it kills you first, they will fill your position.

That is okay.

Quit the job and go somewhere else. Leave business you separate again. It's not personal no matter how much they want to be.

They don't need you. They need US to cooperate.

Leave.

#otto thoughts

[comfortunit]

ALSO also this is tangential at this point but i love to write fiction with characters who are against or outside of the gender binary and i thought like, an entire series where the characters singularly and only use It for not only the protagonist but another really important character, a fictional universe written to exclude transphobia from the outset with nonbinary minor characters thrown in at random, and you still have people misgendering the fucking protagonist and finding ways to write in misgendering it into the text. at least i could pretend people would respect my character choices when i look at mainstream fandoms but seeing the like rampant transphobia in a series that is trans itself? heartbreaking. depressing. made me want to put down my pen for a whole moment (not even getting into how much "person treated like product/who had their agency invalidated learns how to direct their own life" narratives mean to me and expecting to see people who got that theme instead of. treating it like a product to force to do whatever they want. do people not see the sad irony there. its like seeing an anime girl whos character arc is "people objectify me against my will and i fight against it to reclaim my personhood" and then watching the fandom/company turn around and only sell/interact with highly sexualized shit of her. like i THOUGHT people who were fans of something showing corporate and consumer hypocrisy would be a lil smarter! ive underestimated the average persons ability to be in denial of things and themselves however) ok ok im done sending my silly little asks i hope you have a good rest of your day

right, and a MAJOR theme of mbd is, as martha wells put it (i'm paraphrasing), 'the 'ugly' parts of trauma that no one talks about'. murderbot is traumatized and it's a person but it is repulsed by the idea of being 'humanized'. it just wants to be comfortable after so much time spent being told what to do, what to be, everything. prescribing it pronouns other than what it itself has 'written' in its DIARIES (wow a concept... 🤯 first person pov. fucking mind-blowing, y'all, firsthand experience actually lets you know how someone thinks/feels/perceives things. i know. it's crazy), forcing things onto it, projecting things onto it, that it never opted in to... it's just more of the same. murderbot's ultimate goal is to feel like its own person, it wants to BE. it's literally a struggle for autonomy, and i'm sure humans in-universe and in the fandom alike, they just don't get it, they think murderbot is going about things in a counterproductive manner like "oh if it hates the company so much then why is it still so attached to being a secunit and protocols and all this bullshit?" like god do these people have any fucking idea how trauma works? have they ever understood the trauma of others? my guess is a resounding NO.

and re: my gripes about it being aplatonic and no one fucking caring enough to give it the decency of this canon fact in their fanfic re-creations of it; it GETS MAD at perihelion for trying to FORCE its emotions out. and people write this off!! because they want to believe this is like "aww it's MAD because it LIKES ART" like actually people who care about each other can be terrible to each other! and not everything is secretly cute and adorable! a big POINT of network effect is that ART DOESN'T GET IT; it DOESN'T know what murderbot wants, it DOESN'T know how murderbot feels. it DOES NOT GET IT. the fandom insists on smoothing everything over because the idea that murderbot might have genuine feelings of hate, or intrusive feelings that it both is internally upset with but also embraces... it's like they can't fucking handle this complexity. they can't. they act like they can and they can't fucking handle it, or i wouldn't see it represented so fucking atrociously in fanfic, lmfao.

it's fucking INFURIATING !!!! 🤝

[asirensrage]

Bestie you can't write as well as you think you can

Also your response to that request was really nasty. They just wanted a fiction and you could have just said yes or no. You didn't need to start lecturing them. Nobody is asking you to write fanfiction. You write it because you want to and people ask for requests because they want to. Nobody can get paid for it so stop acting as if it s a huge problem if some one requests a fiction.

All because they have a blank blog? Maybe they reblogged it to a sideblog but you're so on your',re high horse you dont think of it. Also just generally you can't bring community to a reader by lecturing them. You're just going to make them do the opposite. I don't have problem with blank blogs or people liking my writing because maybe they like it to read later. I don't know what the problem is.

You call yourself a vending machine and be rude to readers because we don't meet your specific needs. Nobody asks you to write. Be grateful people are reading your trash and are actually asking you for fiction because a lot of people don't get an audience as it is.

I think you are deluded because you have an audience and it's quite high and you have a high opinion of your writing that not everyone agrees with but okay. People shouldn't request things from you or read it b cause too many people like on here like you demanding so much from the reader

I just want to read stories that is all. I don't want to waste my time with other stuff. You write. We read. You don't want to write a request say no. It's not hard. Just stop making up all these rules we have to follow.

I love that you come into this calling me “bestie” and straight up insulting me in the same line.

Babes, lbh, I write better than I think I can because like many I stare at my writing and go over it too often that it doesn’t seem new or interesting to me. I still manage to surprise myself with some of the lines I write though.

My response to that request wasn’t nasty or rude. I laid out the facts as I saw them and responded accordingly. As I said in the reply, the choice to have a blank blog is a personal preference, as is mine to decline the request and block blank blogs as I see fit. I didn’t lecture, because if I did, I’d come back with stats to prove my points. In terms of them possibly reblogging it to a sideblog, the fic they mention in the ask has only been reblogged by two other people, both of them long before the asker ever liked the original fic and sent the request.

Just because you don’t have a problem with blank blogs or likes, doesn’t mean that everyone shares that opinion. Fandom is supposed to be a community of people enjoying the same things. In order to create that, there has to be actual communication between people.

You’re right that no one’s asking me to write fanfic. I do it because I enjoy it, but just because we don’t get paid to write it doesn’t mean that it grants permission to people to treat us like an endless source of production without offering anything in return. It’s a two-way street. If people want to only consume and not offer feedback or at the least a reblog, they can go elsewhere. I know you’re young, you probably weren’t around years ago when fandom on here was different. You don’t understand how engagement has dropped and yet demand has increased. Just as you’re not obligated to reblog or comment on people’s works, we’re not obligated to write or even share any of it. Fic writers do this in their own free time and for their own enjoyment. Personally, I think readers should be grateful that we even share what we create.

Which brings me to this hilarious contradiction in your ask. “Be grateful people are reading your trash” and “I just want to read stories that is all.” If my writing was trash, people wouldn’t be reading it nor would I get requests for more. You wouldn’t be here complaining about my “high audience”. Let me make something clear, it’s not a matter of being ungrateful for my readers. I love all of them, especially the people who continue to encourage me. But that does not excuse the behaviour you’re displaying here or that others have shown to other authors. There are no rules. As I said before, it’s a personal preference of mine, but there is a relationship between authors and readers. And as in any relationship, when things are this one-sided, it’s a good time to set boundaries and cut ties if needed.

Finally, “I just want to read stories that is all. I don't want to waste my time with other stuff. You write. We read." You think clicking a button to reblog something is wasting your time? Or commenting on the post, in the reblog or in your tags about if you enjoyed it? It’s the easiest thing to do, especially on mobile when you can just do a fast reblog.

How about this, if you don’t want to waste your time, don’t waste ours. Stop reading fanfic, especially mine, because you sound like a dick.

#stop being a dick #anon #I said what I felt needed to be said #if you complain further I'm deleting the asks #sorry for the rant lol #no i'm not

TS4 Rewatch Rant Analysis

You don’t need to care about my opinion; I don’t want you to. But I want to explain why I’m frustrated about the final product in terms of both within the movie and extending to implications of the franchise. I also want to provide methods to improve or fix the building blocks of this movie as how I see the franchise and how these characters should be treated and developed as someone who’s grown along with these films and rewatched them more than I can ever hope to count. I’d figure I would post this here to get my ideas out there and clear my mind of these thoughts (also writing a fix-it fic is something too time consuming for me rn). I hope, at the very least, that my passionate word vomit is entertaining to someone.

Will be tagging spoilers since this film is still fairly new and I’m not a complete asshole. This will be a mix of analytical criticing and shitposty jokes for the purpose of harsh hyperbole and humor, so a complete mess all around. This is also stupidly long, been in my drafts for a long time so this timing may seem odd, and there is genuine introspection at the tail end of this. I don’t absolutely despise this film or want to run it into the ground, to preface.

I initially had very mixed feelings about Toy Story 4; I couldn’t tell if I liked or disliked it because the characters looked stunning, Bo Peep was different, there were references to previous films scattered throughout, and Woody’s choice had me still bawling a few weeks later when rewatching the scene. It was only after popping in the Blu-ray film in my newly-acquired collection set, understanding commentaries and deleted scenes, and watching other reviews I came to realize what worked and didn’t work for me in the context of the film’s franchise.

To put simply, the positives of this film are it’s attention to detail and overall animation quality (lighting and other effects) and that it’s funny. It seems these two things are unanimous and I do wholeheartedly agree with them. But it’s also why I believe this movie’s existence is to showcase quality with little to no substance. Which is pretty offensive considering the catalog of films that made a fourth one possible had care in tackling problems and characters in an intriguing and consistent way, and these are all stories about toys at their core, which still hold up today for human scenarios. But with Toy Story 4? Having complex and compelling characters with purpose and themes with development? Nah, animation preeettyyyyy and forky funnnyyy lol.

Expand What You Already Know. Or Don’t, I Guess.

This movie likes to forget the foundation it already has and decides to start from scratch, using valuable resources to create new character designs, motivations, backstories, and relationships when most of the work is already done for you. It’s majorly sitting in the RV, realistically doing nothing but taking up space (until the plot says so), yet systematically crippling this movie and the others before it by said existence. These additional toys that are background characters in this film should’ve either had development or a significant purpose in the film more than the ending or random RV shenanigans, or not been included at all because they clutter up the film (and I hate to talk about these characters like this as I do love them but that’s how it is).

In this case, less is more, especially if your main focus is on one to a few characters over the entire cast- being forky, woody, bo, and the new toys. This leads into a discussion of Bonnie having too many toys at this point which is one reason besides a child’s retention rate that results in the neglect of Woody, but the disregarding Woody after Andy’s speech about him meme isn’t the worst issue I’ve come across in this film (and I really don’t blame the girl).

Look How They Massacred My Boy. For Shame.

I didn’t need to rewatch this film again to realize that Buzz was done dirty in this movie. Going as far to say character assassination is amusing, but might not be as true in this sense. Buzz has no reason not to know what his inner voice/subconscious is and it’s occurrence here really undervalues the preceeding movies regarding the character and the thought behind his actions. There is no reason to have Buzz act deluded or ignorant to such common concepts in the world he inhabits as it insults the establishment and progression of his character up to and in Toy Story 4, and I will not blindly accept him as comic relief anymore (that’s what Rex is for and I love him for it).

I am well aware of the people in charge milking Buzz’s deluded state in every Toy Story movie (plus some Toy Story Treats) beacuse it’s funny. I laughed at it too as a dumb kid enthralled by these toys moving, talking, and have personalities. The schmoe and Hawayai jokes are still enjoyable to me, it’s cute. The problem here is there’s more to Buzz Lightyear than just ‘haha silly (deluded) space toy go brrrr,’ and not just in Toy Story 4 does this happen. Buzz Lightyear is tactical, (basically the whole TS2 rescue mission he started, using Rex’s tail to escape the garbage bag and coming up with the caterpiller room transom escape in TS3) intelligent (backed by academy training, shown in his fighting moves, instincts, jargon, etc. in TS1 and relates to last trait) a leader, (steps up into the leadership role in lieu of Woody in TS2  and TS3 or co-lead with him in the TS3 meeting), determined (to save his friends in TS2 and TS3), more emotionally mature than Woody (see all of Toy Story 1 and compare their arcs; Buzz’s turmoil is more self-contained/depricating than Woody’s, as the cowboy decides to take out his jealousy on others and Buzz, almost murdering the space ranger who only ever attacked Woody once and it wasn’t even during his existential crisis), discovering his worth as Andy’s toy and Woody’s friend (relaying Woody’s words back at him in TS2), embracing his role and family, having a crush on Jessie and supporting her through her trauma and fears, and I can go on.

If you want to make Buzz funny without taking away his personality and growth, have more shit like in the sequel, where a toy-savvy og Buzz plays off of those who think they are real like fake belt Buzz. I’m basically asking for the Bootleg Buzz deleted scene here not only because it is stupidly hilarious in concept, but it also lends additional world-building possibilities like a toy’s personal beliefs/perceptions and human/toy dynamics that hasn’t been explored further in this franchise’s film installments (See: Small Fry). Also, having Buzz saying space jargon in the context of his background knowledge always puts a smile on my face and you don’t have to dumb down this character to achieve that. :)

Is This What They Call... A Glowup? Cuz This Ain’t It, Chief.

My main gripe about Bo’s character is that she lost the personality she had in Andy’s house and her alterations go against the established canon of the shepherdess. More specifically, the strong, go-getter Bo Peep the creators are pushing for here doesn’t feel justified as an understandable change in universe because of the decision to portray her as a simpler or less-realized version of her future self in Molly’s room and extensively implies she’s always been or wanted to be a free spirit and leader when she’s never expressed this otherwise. Her new design isn’t as important to complain about in comparison here but I do find it odd and interesting how her eyes were made bigger in her redesign (like doe eyes) yet she’s rougher around the edges and serious personality-wise, whereas her initial design had sharp eyes similar to a human that enhanced her qualities like flirting and sassiness and the idea of porcelain that is smooth but sharp.

Woody’s surprise at seeing Bo all these years later would be much more believable if her personality initially reflected who she is in Toy Story 1 and 2 during the opening flashback; flirty, empathetic, gentle, and a general overseer of the room that watches others take charge to avoid chipping or shattering as she’s made of porcelain and has limited movement by design. Having so much agency and independence in TS4 may subvert expectations, but feels jarring after knowing this context in a back-to-back viewing of all four films. She’s comparatively more bitter, no-nonsense, and world-weary here, which I get because survival and harsh reality of the world, but she should have a lot more chipping than shown if she’s getting as much playtime as she’s boasting and desiring, especially the rough ones as the kids are random (unlike the deleted storyboard version of the playground). This really feels like a different character and I really don’t believe she and her sheep would’ve lasted this long or have this much fluidity, ingenuity, and agency as the movie claims. Some, possibly, but while humans can train and adapt their bodies for flexibility, strength, etc. to survive, toys cannot. They are stuck in their forms and Bo moves slow as per her build and material of which she was constructed, so she can only adapt so much to the rough lifestyle that is being a lost toy that wants to be played with from time to time.

The Lamp Life short tells me she wants more than, well, lamp life, with the intro concept to non-toys coming to life by a child’s imagination in TS4 support this and her possible in canon reason for existence since TS1. But the short is not Toy Story 4 and past Bo never expressed this in past films. She was really just there as a background character for Woody and never alluded to any dislike for her life or any existential crisis due to that initial purpose of being Woody’s girlfriend and nothing else (not even that initially because of Barbie and copyright so supportive side character to be generous). At the very least the creators of this movie could’ve respected Bo Peep in a way that did not completely rewrite her during a time in which the canonical characterization being shown of her is blatantly false (flashback opening scene).

Furthermore, a viewer shouldn’t feel the need to watch a short (Lamp Life) to get the full context behind Bo’s story after Andy because the movie glosses over those details and moves on like no long-time viewer of Toy Story is curious after her “return.” Details which could’ve helped Bo and Woody have a quiet moment to bond and connect over as they share experiences of being lost instead of being treated as an afterthought (Bo’s retelling of her “Lamp Life” to Woody took place after the conclusion of the fourth installment- Woody even says “Oh yeah, what happened after all that time?”- stating he didn’t even think to ask her about her past in detail during the movie at any point and Bo never explains it until someone else brings it up it in the short film- Giggles. This is something that should’ve been addressed way earlier if Bo is supposed to be one of the main characters in the film, hence, this is an afterthought to the creators and a wasted opportunity).

In addition, if they wanted to have Bo Peep undergo a character change that logically made sense, they could’ve lifted over traits from her original self to her lost toy character, such as her flirtiness for ex. Not only was it played for comedy in both the original Toy Story films (mainly concerning her reactions and interactions to/with the protagonists- moving buddy comment with Buzz and contact with and kisses for Woody in TS1 and TS2), it also showed how much she cared about Woody (wanting Woody to see how much Andy misses him in TS1). She was also a little sassy in her expressions and exchanges with Woody, too. Exploring how their relationship was established and/or moments they shared outside of what the audience had already seen for Toy Story 4 would help not only further develop both characters in a reasonable and new fashion, but aid the audience in getting attached to them on another level, thus rendering the couple’s reconnection years later all that more impactful and important. If Toy Story 4 was about the romance of Woody and Bo as old, lost loves reuniting, this movie could’ve really sold me on its existence, considering its content that was never fully realized even with Buzz and Jessie, who are in the awkward, blushing, early phases of dating (they might not even be officially together canonically at this point, and Woody and Bo’s relationship of comfortability would lend a great contrast to this).

It was hella cute to see the shepherdess and the sheriff together and having playful and sweet exchanges in the first two movies. While I understand that time can change a person and how they think of others, especially how memories can be associated with different emotions from introspection and how that person evolves and sees others in different lights, I find it hard to believe that Woody and Bo never once had a kiss on screen in Toy Story 4, nor had any substantial romantic chemistry from either side. It was my understanding in the original films that these two were established as a romantic couple (her existence is to solely be Woody’s girlfriend as said by the original Toy Story commentary) and it is fact that she has kissed him before (again, TS1 and intention to kiss in TS2) and can be seen approaching him to comfort him with words and touches (Woody’s favoritism issues in TS1 and his nerves about cowboy camp going bad in TS2- these moments are cut off by jokes like Potato Head’s comment or Rex’s tug of war with Bo’s sheep, but there’s enough time established with them to be treated as emotionally impactful moments, albeit small).

Woody and Bo being lost toy buddies doesn’t feel nearly as emotionally impactful as a romantic relationship would. Neither character said anything about their past regarding their past romance or even bring it up in Toy Story 4, just reminiscing like they’re old buddies. The most we get is Woody staring at her in two instances (top of the carnival and watching lights in the antique store), and even then it isn’t explicitly said if Woody still harbors romantic feelings or not. Bo commenting on loving Woody’s loyalty after their argument is said when he’s not present, and I don’t think she ever said it to him directly afterwards when they did meet up again, which further hinders their opportunities at expressing their feelings. It feels like one friend-zoned the other off-screen because of how awkward they are around each other and act nothing more than old friends tiptoeing around each other. Buzz and Bo meeting again are arguably more friendly in this way than Woody and Bo are.

The deleted scene of Woody finding Bo again after so long treats their originally established dynamic better than the scene in the film. In that storyboard, both characters have the time to take in and realize who they are seeing as they stare at one other, assess their emotions and memories, and fully act upon those raw feelings in real time as if they are their lost in their own world by embracing. This reunion is cut short but as stated earlier in examples, both characters are given time for this moment to occur organically (within the circumstances), and the insight into Woody’s memories helps visualize his feelings for her through the times spent together, enhancing the quality of the nonverbal aspect of storytelling... or storyboards, in this case.

In comparison to the final film reunion, Woody and Bo have to worry about other kids seeing them move and talk in the playground with their minds already preoccupied with the world around them and toy rules instead of meeting each other again after so long. By the time they get to a safe place to converse, it’s nowhere near as heartfelt and/or important as the encounter should have been and the action of Bo brushing off Woody’s shoulder feels like a visualization of earlier- sweeping a potentially emotional moment under the rug. Not to mention Woody and Bo are in toy mode when they see each other for the first time, preventing the audience from witnessing their first, raw reactions (I can’t explain how good this deleted scene is it has so much potential and I got emotional over pencil drawings of these toys and what it implies and leads to you if it was explored and developed more you don’t understand-). The lack of romance wouldn’t be as much of an issue if their relationship didn’t have an impact on the story’s conclusion and other characters by extension, namely Woody.

Was it Hoes before Bros or Self Before Bros?

I finally understand now why I don’t like the ending of Toy Story 4 and how it made me cry like a little bitch again like the third installment did. It’s upsetting to me because I don’t buy Woody’s decision to stay with Bo and leave his friends and his new kid behind.

I totally get that Woody may have chosen to be a lost toy because he feels no more purpose outside of Andy, and can’t let go of him, and maybe Bo symbolizes a connection to those early and simpler days (even though she’s entirely different now). With that in mind, I do like his self-appointed purpose of guiding forky as his development transitions from wanting to always be the favorite to using that knowledge and humility to help a new favorite toy adjust and understand its role for a kid and accepting that he is still loved regardless at the end of the day and has his family through infinity and beyond. But Woody abandons his new and old family for a new life, throwing out the whole loyalty to your kid aspect and not wanting to see Bonnie grow up. Woody’s decision in TS4 is basically if he stuck with the Tokyo choice in Toy Story 2. I like how TS4 wants to challenge the franchise’s conceptions on toys and their purpose, but it’s also insulting at the same time, attempting to demolish and reconstruct original elements. 

Alternate Routes.

After being tossed away by Hannah, either have Gabby Gabby a) realize she doesn’t want nor need a child to play with her to be happy and embrace the lost toy life, or b) double down on her insecurities and blame Woody forever getting her hopes up in the first place, challenging his ideals of a toy’s purpose and sense of loyalty toward a child, becoming an anguished, heartbroken, antagonist going after Woody in anger or stubbornly stewing away in the curio again.

Have Woody realize he doesn’t have to be the favorite or constantly played by his kid as proof he is loved and wanted by Bonnie, possibly overexaggerating his fear of abandonment earlier on. Have him rejoin the toys with a new sense of duty and belonging that is similar to his actions as a lost toy, but watching over forky’s adjustment and staying loyal to his family and friends with Bonnie picking him up and playing with him again similar to the alternate scrapped ending (possibly with his voicebox still removed because that was so heartwarming). This can also lend a nod to Woody’s struggle with being damaged and fixed by Andy in TS2. In TS4, this can be extended to Bonnie not only reassuring Woody she still loves and wants him despite being broken, but even if he’s unfixable.

Let Woody become a lost toy for his re-connection with Bo (emotionally and romantically stronger on both sides) for the “he’s not lost” line and the infinity and beyond line even separated, as let’s say that because he’s found someone he didn’t realize he’s missed so dearly due to fixating on Andy, he doesn’t want to leave her again not knowing if he’ll ever see her again and because he can’t let go of the past (my least fave solution but yes to toy romance and concept of lost toys having a purpose besides playtime meaning in each other awwe it’s too corny).

So... What’s the Point?

It doesn’t help that the movie gets confused about what message it’s really going for - toy independence but also stay loyal to your kid. In the deleted scene intro to “She’s the One” in Toy Story 4, Josh Cooley stated that he wanted to avoid Woody not changing as a character and essentially resetting the movie back to the beginning where Woody stays with Bonnie and the toys, despite him liking this ending which had come close to being very impactful and emotional. The more I think about this clip, the worse it sounds. Woody can absolutely be in the same place and change as a character at the same time, like overcoming his attachment to Andy by being there for his new kid who wrote her name on his boot like Buzz and Jessie, or wanting to continually guide and support forky as Bonnie’s favorite toy from his experience and knowing he is still loved and with the other toys. A movie can end with the characters physically in the same positions as the beginning, but with learned lessons and values that imply or confirm different actions in their future like bettering themselves aka staying true to Woody’s character and lending an interesting contrast to their earlier positions in the film, Josh Cooley. Similar visuals with different context behind them can be very powerful.

I really don’t understand why Josh Cooley and co. didn’t embrace their initial ideas because I would love to see them explored and he clearly wanted to include (at least some of them) in the final product. Editor Lee Unkrich of Toy Story 1 has said it is hard to cut things out in a film that you really love, worked hard on, and feel important to the story and characters. But you have to remove it or feel like you must in case the scene is affecting the film’s pacing/flow, etc. in referencing the Woody and Buzz bonding scene in Sid’s room, which Unkrich regrets shortening in hindsight.

But this also doesn’t mean you should throw every idea you have on the cutting room floor either, especially if it serves the story, characters, or plot in a beneficial way (hopefully all three). Josh Cooley’s Hungry Hippos idea and among other storyboard concepts I’ve expressed here are all really cool ideas and I wish they would’ve been explored as these are hinted at in previous films like Toy Story 3 and the vending machine scene, which can be developed further with the underworld of toys and gambling via board games concept. If you are passionate about what you’re making and have fun with it, the results will be great, something John Lasseter says at the end of the Toy Story 2 bonus features, and I fully believe that the things Cooley and others wanted to do could’ve worked out if they had that same drive to create and entertain while telling an engaging story that aligned with the characters and their journeys. 

Seeing the scarce amount of bonus features in the Toy Story 4 bonus disk genuinely broke my heart. I’m not sure if they used practically all their generated ideas in the final film or had close to none in the first place to expand the world and rules of toys compared to the last films, but it’s a damn shame regardless to see little to no creativity in this product that has so much more unexplored potential and creative ideas waiting to be immortalized with the ogs of animation in film besides visual quality. Of course I know that Toy Story as a franchise will come to an end eventually, as “toys don’t last forever,” and another franchise may develop these things better or more extensively with toys or otherwise, but I would’ve appreciated at the very least, to have a Toy Story series that either stopped while it was ahead, or be fully treated with all the passion, enjoyment, and respect it initially had as its creators did while enriching the world and lives of these toys to its full potential.

also,

How dare they break this duo up wtf. To infinity and Beyond? more like my waterhole has been poisoned, snakes are in all my boots, buzz lightyear is not coming to my rescue, and the mission is fucked. smh. truly the end of an era.

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

Some day, we're going to have to talk about the toxic positivity in the swiftie fandom tbh. 2016 was 7 years ago, please grow up and realize treating taylor with kid gloves and glowing about her like she's perfect is so unhealthy for her and yall.

I'm seeing a lot of swifties have to manage their negative emotions that taylor makes them feel to "fit in" with the fandom and this is so fucking toxic to people just in general. Yall are doing to each other what yall did to taylor, which is demand she be happy all the time for you guys and willing to be around you all the time.

Idk yall, I'm seeing many swifties ask people not to attack them for critiquing taylor, I've seen people try and mitigate the harassment from other swifties they're gunna get for openly talking about how Taylor's capitalistic ways hurt them.

The eras tour marketing is not the first time that she has disappointed fans, the "unique" midnights recordings just happened a few months ago, why are yall paying for vip packages if yall aren't meeting taylor (to stand around in MERCH LINES earlier??? Are yall okay, seriously, ask yourself how much money you're spending on her and what ur getting out of it), working with a child rapist director (that convo got shut down because all her friends were doing it too! Which is not a defense but I digress), her working with Zoe Kravitz and Lena Dunham and Lana del ray gets swept under the rug, her working on a racist murderers film adaptation was ignored and celebrated, there is so much more that she's been doing recently since she turned 30 that are really just gross things to be doing and she deserves to see her fans angry at her, even yelling at her online, because that's the only way she will bother to café about this issues.

Like yall were laughing about her behavior at the grammys like it wasn't the most OUT OF TOUCH THING I've ever seen. Rolling your eyes at a BLACK MAN who is more culturally aware of the financial burden of his own fanbase than you???????????

And you get swifties who just lick her asshole all day long and call you entitled and rude because you're fucking angry at being used FOR MONEY when that has never been Taylor's branding. You act like the people who critique her branding and her actions not aligning are the ones in the wrong when product honesty is like the #1 that consumers look for in a product.

We buy into taylor the artist ourselves precisely because we are so aware of the way she markets herself being unique but we are very aware of the way we support other artists that are purely financial (beyonce, ed sheeran, louis are all artists that I'm well aware they're not in it for the fans, they're in it for either money, fame, or music is their life but taylor is STILL pushing this narrative on tour that she's alllll about the fans.... is she?)

Like, the eras tour is a money grab because tour is always a money grab but the marketing of this particular money grab is that ALL albums would be fairly represented. Did you forget all the setlists taylor Nation posted that included debut ???? And people were actually picking several songs for debut like cold as you was featured ???????? They put out album shirts, highlighting all albums, she talks about it being a journey through "17" years of music and each era, one at a time.

These are conflicting narratives when you don't put debut or speak now in the setlist.

It's just disrespectful. She asks us to be okay with a lot of stuff that she just ignores and doesn't apologize for because she doesn't care about our feelings, she cares only about the money.

And I wish she would just fucking SAY THAT instead pretending like she cares when she doesn't.

And I wish yall would stop attacking other swifties who are gunna expect things to be a certain way when the marketing is telling you that is the way it's gunna be.

For fucks sake, I wish yall got angrier at taylor more often.

#the only thing she understands is money #threatening to not support her music is the only way well be able to get her to acknowledge things #even the way she talks about ticketmaster like she didnt OPT INTO DYNAMIC PRICING HERSELF #makes me infuriated #taylor swift #swifties #the eras tour

Dragonsbane Flower

There is a flower colloquially called dragonsbane.

When used raw, then boiled into a tea or soup, it can poison a dragon by making them drowsy & filling them with a feeling of contentment & coziness. It's important that said dragon not sleep as it will only advance the poison's progress.

If they can stay awake until the dragonsbane has gotten out of their system, it's possible for them to survive. If they sleep, though, they will fall into an unresponsive coma, then die if left untreated, though if nothing else, it's a peaceful death.

If it's treated quickly, then it lowers the risks present & raises survivability by quite a bit. Thing is, it's a very deadly killer precisely because it's so unassuming. You get sleepy after drinking a good tea, your immediate thought isn't gonna be, "was I poisoned?" Rather, "goodness, I feel so comfy & relaxed; time for a nap."

However, if dragonsbane is properly processed, it can be used to temporarily subdue the draconic blood of draconids.

Dragons also have an allergic reaction to the pollen of dragonsbane, but other than some pretty bad hayfever, not much else happens. So, it isn't deadly unless consumed.

Fae & shamanic dragons were known to be able to isolate what chemicals conjured the soporific & cozy/comfy feelings of dragonsbane tea & use them to make a safe version that many of the dragon aristocracy used when they were stressed & could not sleep. This version was a tincture called Dragonsdream.

At the same time, this process takes an at least halfway decent knowledge of toxocology & herbalism. So, illicit alchemists (illegal drug manufacterers) will sometimes try to make dragonsdream cheaply & end up with a product that isn't as effective &, thus, create something that the law enforcement at the time called Dragonsdread or knock-off Dragonsdream.

This Dragonsdread, depending on how badly the illicit alchemist did, it can result in a product that initially works as intended, but then puts the drinker into a coma that could last for months if not years. Sometimes, the drinker will die if a healer doesn't apply an antidote quick enough.

But if it was particularly badly done, the drinker can die as soon as at the end of their normal sleep cycle.

The only known cure is Mawkap pollen. It is a horrendously virose orange mushroom with a yellow top. So putrid is it that it easily acts as a natural smelling salt. Has a vile taste & should never be eaten under any circumstances besides in exact, miniscule doses & even then, it is highly unpleasant & it is very, very heavily recommended that one not take it frequently. Will cause violent nausea, vomiting, & diarrhea to the point of internal bleeding. Can easily kill you if you don't act quickly enough & it won't be a pleasant death either. On the other hand, a tiny amount acts as a damn good laxative which is the only reason one should use it, ever, & only, as mentioned before, in exactly measured, miniscule doses. Not to mention, smelling is relatively safe if horrid to experience.

To wake a dragon from a Dragonsbane-induced sleep, they must breathe in a Mawkap's pollen. Problem is, they are extremely rare. - Inspired by the smelly mushroom used to wake the Shoemaker in Minish Cap.

---

While not necessarily a Zelda applicable Flower, I like to be thorough.

So, in Zelda, Zonai can simply boil a tiny amount into tea & get the same affect as Dragonsdream. However, this is mainly due to them not being true dragons unless they undergo draconification.

your fanfic doesn't need to be Content

ok so thanks to this lovely anonymous message i've been motivated to organize my thoughts on the increasingly common phenomenon of fanfic writers treating their own fics like Content for consumption, the way an influencer on social media might (all of this is in the context of the marauders fandom specifically -- no idea how or whether it might apply elsewhere)

what i mean by that is, essentially, instances of fanfic writers playing into the idea that fanfiction is a product created for the consumption of readers (and thereby the idea that fandom is a community that can be clearly divided between "producers"/writers and "consumers"/readers).

some examples i've seen: people "advertising" their fics on platforms like tiktok, sometimes even before they've started writing said fic ("hey guys i'm going to start writing a fic with x y z who's interested??"), or making posts asking outright "if i wrote a fic with x y z would people read it??" i've also seen people share concerns that if they write a certain thing they want to write (i.e, heavy smut, heavy angst, etc) then it will make their fic less "accessible" to a broader audience ("i want everyone to be able to enjoy my fics!")

another recent example that comes to mind is the "jegulus strike." while i'm sure it was largely well-intentioned, a strike is a form of protest tied inextricably to a consumer economy, and positioning writers as laborers who are standing in opposition to readers demanding that labor reinforces the framework of a consumer economy in which fanfiction is a product for consumption.

something i want to make clear here--i'm not saying that any of these behaviors are like....Moral Failings deserving of Ridicule. i think we are all very much conditioned by late-stage capitalism + algorithmic social media to view everything, even our hobbies, within the framework of a consumer economy. this is just me observing some of the ways i see that mindset creeping into fandom spaces.

like. i think there's this unspoken assumption that art is only worthwhile if it has an audience; that creative pursuits only matter if you can profit from them. if people are applying this mindset to fanfiction, then it makes sense to see this impulse to advertise fics the way authors advertise their books on tiktok, or twitter, or whatever. it makes sense for writers to become preoccupied with audience perception, perhaps changing their stories to make them more palatable for a certain audience or even going into the writing process with the audience already in mind--an overhanging and ever-present anxiety, asking yourself "how will this be received?"

the problem is that fanfiction doesn't fit into this model. it has always been meant for a niche audience, never the mainstream, and it has always existed outside the profit economy. trying to turn fanfiction into broadly consumable content is antithetical to the medium itself, and, in all likelihood, will fail. the vast majority of fanfiction is never going to be read by hundreds of thousands of people. if you go into writing it with an audience as your end goal, you will likely be disappointed.

what makes fanfiction so wonderful and unique is that it is meant to be written, first and foremost, for the writer. fanfiction as a medium grew out of personal joy in creation, out of individuals who thought "I want to see this story for myself" and then wrote it. because fanfiction is specific, catered to individual tastes and niche audiences, it lends itself to a unique sort of community in which your work attracts other people with that same niche taste, making it easier to strike up a conversation or start a friendship by saying, "hey, i love this story you wrote for yourself! it just so happens to be the exact sort of thing i wanted to read."

so i guess at the end of the day, my question for other fic writers is: if nobody was ever going to read this, would you still want to write it?

and if the answer is no...i think that's something that calls for reflection! where is your motivation rooted? is it rooted in a desire to create, in the joy of creation? or is it rooted in a desire to be seen, to be validated? wanting to be seen and validated is entirely natural, and it is by no means a bad thing. oftentimes, both these impulses--creation and validation--will be part of the decision to write + post a fic. but if validation is your primary motivation, and if you have internalized the idea that validation means getting as many people as possible to look at the thing you're making and click a heart button, then you will probably end up disappointed. you will probably end up feeling like your writing isn't good enough, no matter how many people end up reading it--because no audience will ever be big enough to validate you if you aren't able to take pride in your creation independent of any metrics of consumption.

i'm not saying that you should never share your fics on social media. like i mentioned above, community is one of the best parts of fanfiction--but are you posting in search of community? or are you posting in search of an audience? i know the line can get blurry sometimes, but i do think those two things look different, and i do think it is productive to look inwards and ask what you are truly seeking when you throw your writing into the void of social media posts. and i think as writers it's important not to fall into the trap of acting like our fics are a product intended for audience consumption, because to do so contributes to the deterioration of a fandom culture that is separate from the profit economy. plus, i just think all of us would be happier if we started trying to actively unlearn the idea that art is only worthwhile if it manages to amass a huge audience.

#art is worthwhile because it's art!!! #creations matter because the act of creation holds value!!! #anyway. this is something ive spent a lot of time reflecting on personally #and i think it's a good thing for anyone writing fanfiction to reflect on!! #like it's completely valid to want people to read ur writing #but if that is the DRIVING FORCE behind why ur writing....it probably won't be sustainable in the long run #ranting and raving

Aline Pate: HydroArtPod – World’s 1st Smart Hydroponic Indoor Garden

Have you ever had the hobby, passion, and love for growing plants indoors? If yes, then you are not alone. Many people practice gardening indoors as part of their routine, physical activity, or out of habit. 

Taking care of something regularly provides a sense of satisfaction, comfort, assurance, relief, and satisfaction for some people, and hence gardening is something that they take up. 

Indoor Gardening is simply the growing of plants inside closed or interior spaces such as – rooms in houses, offices in company buildings, seating areas of restaurants, lobbies, etcetera. 

Indoor Gardening has several benefits and importance. They remain fresh and lively as long as you provide them with what they need like water, regardless of the weather outdoors. The plants that are grown in closed and interior spaces are well-protected from pests and rodents that would likely infest and physically harm the plants if kept outdoors. 

Some plants are considered to be indoor plants as they help to improve the quality of the air inside like – Peace Lily, Chinese Evergreen, and Snake Plant. 

There are yet other people who have taken up growing fruits and vegetables plants indoors making it easier for them to have fresh and safe consumable produce that has been grown under their very own care. 

As there are many instances where the food sold in the markets would have been damaged or chemically treated, growing your very own batch and pots of fruits and vegetables can save up on time, effort, money, and most importantly – health. 

With the advancement of technology and innovation, creativity and ideas from the visionary minds of humans also sprout. 

In terms of indoor gardening roped in with technologically advanced innovations in the world today, the innovative method and technology used in growing plants in the absence of soil but with the presence of only a nutrient-rich water solution is called an Indoor Hydroponics System. 

Indoor Hydroponics system is a strategy used in sustainable agriculture for encouraging and working towards a greener and sustainable future. Although indoor hydroponics have been around for a while, smart indoor hydroponics were first invented by an ingenious entrepreneur in Abu Dhabi, The United Arab Emirates. 

Therefore in this article, we shall explore the story behind the visionary mind of Aline Pate who invented the world’s first smart indoor hydroponics system in the Gulf Region, and how she started the AgTech business – HydroArtPod.

Aline Pate – Founder of HydroArtPod:

Being skilled in Product Development, Realization, and Prototyping, Aline Pate successfully managed to bring this creation into the world. At some point in time, the founder realized that she had been spending huge amounts and making large expenses on food. 

Aiming to eat and live a healthy lifestyle can be a bit expensive, especially when one is planning to or actively transitioning to a healthy lifestyle, they can face some purchases of expensive food products. 

Be it due to having to purchase ‘best farm-to-table’ food products sold by fancy markets and stores, the prices on these food products can be quite exorbitant and pricier than the same products that are sold at local stores. 

Aline Pate realized this and opted to start growing her fruits and vegetables at her own house. This too can be quite a task for some people in regards to consistently needing to put in the required effort to maintain and care for the plants. The founder then soon switched to growing the plants indoors due to external factors destroying or interrupting the plan’s growth like – weather changes, season changes, and pests. 

Therefore, Aline Pate came up with the idea and concept of a smart indoor hydroponics system, that not only allowed her to grow her fruits and vegetables indoors but would also be protected from any external detrimental factors that threatened the quality and life of the plants.   

With a very preoccupied life of being a businesswoman, wife, and mother, Aline Pate wanted to integrate technology into her idea. Thus sprouted a rather innovatively and brilliantly designed creation that used up a little amount of time as this smart indoor hydroponics system is a self-growing system that requires minimal human interventions.
