#it was worse without imo

[bonefall]

So, your Clear Sky post is absolutely horrifying, but it was very needed, so thank you. What are your general thoughts on tackling his abuse for the AU? Like you've said, pretending he's a good guy is not the way to go, but are you planning on toning down *some* of the situations, just to give some of the cats a break? Clear Sky is a very realistic depiction of abusers, but that seems to come across even without victim number 25, yknow? I'm very curious about how you'd like to go about this.

My most recent big change was bringing Slash back into the fold, because I realized that it was actually a disservice to not address where DOTC's themes dip into Colonialism. It's a hard topic, and I'm still trying to work out the details, but I realized it was important.

With how BB!DOTC is such a MASSIVE overhaul, to properly address abuse and the ways it impacts you, ableism and its violence, and xenophobia broadly, a huge reworking of Slash belonged here too. He's one of the greatest examples of how badly WC demonizes non-Clanborn cats. I shouldn't dance around it.

That's what I need to do with Skystar.

MANY of his victims have happier endings than canon, though. Bumble is one of the most famous, bumped up into a major character and directly responsible for the formation of ThunderClan. Bright Storm is taking most of Gray Wing's roles. Birch and Alder are getting examined, with either a father who wants his kids back or Milkweed as the mate of Misty.

A lot of people will die because of him, even more will be hurt, but I see BB!DOTC as a story about victims and survivors.

Others might grab POVs here and there, but as a response to canon which I feel is Clear Sky's story told in many parts, I center this rewrite around Thunder Storm. The path of kindness he marches down, with love and with anger, and the people he helps.

So BB!Star Flower...

Previously I was playing her as ENTIRELY just manipulating Clear Sky. She was loyal to One Eye and trying to get at Skystar to bleed him dry for 8 lives to sacrifice; but connected to Thunderstar over recognizing him as a victim who deserves her idea of justice. So, she offers Thunderstar the final kill, so her father will be grateful to him and he'll get power AND the death of his abuser.

(When Thunderstar looks upon Skystar, pathetic and neutralized down to one life, he thinks about the collateral damage that will descend upon the forest if he accepts the deal. He decides that he has found the line between Justice and Justification. Of course he wants the power to make his enemies cower, protect his people, and eliminate Clear Sky so he never threatens them again; that's not the problem.

He can still do these things. He wouldn't NEED the power of a war god to do so.

But if One Eye returns, he will be endlessly hungry, ruthlessly dedicated to revenge, and set out to devour the whole forest. Everything would get worse, and even more people he loves would die. It's where his desire to destroy a monster would lead to him BECOMING one.)

Even on its face, it was previously missing an element. There's a step between "Starf decides to bring One Eye back" and "Starf offers Thunderstar the final kill" that was bare. This is the piece that was missing-- That she, herself, is trying to reach out to the only person who's ever really understood her.

But more importantly... I do feel this topic belongs here, in BB!DOTC. Abuse is a MAJOR theme. SKYSTAR is a monster already. He's harmed two wives in BB (Bright Storm and Falling Cry) and played toxic games with all three kits (Thunder Storm, Pale Sky, Tiger Sky).

And I'd avoid Star Flower being abused... why? Because it's uncomfortable to confront the pattern that Clear Sky displays? That in-canon, he tries to cut all his victims into the same ideal shape, from Storm to Thunder to Star Flower? ...it should be uncomfortable. Everything that I described in Clear Sky Is A Monster is rooted in the same desire for control, power, and punishment most abusive people share, he just happens to be a severe example.

Yes. That includes how he treats his child and romantic partners. The parallels that are drawn between Starf and Thunder are there because he wants power in the form of obedience. Starf replaces the son as a narrative award for his "growth" of not killing random people anymore for a while.

A cookie cutter is an effective tool because IT ONLY MAKES ONE SHAPE.

You know what's more uncomfortable? Reading canon!DOTC and seeing someone who hurt you reflected almost perfectly in the character the writers think did nothing wrong. Because of "good intentions" that were not there.

I will say though, just to be clear; I don't see a purpose in being more than PG-13 about serious topics for this project. I promise none of my intentions have changed. Nothing will be more graphic or gorey than canon WC-- just more intentional.

I'm keeping the sacrifice because it's dope. No one is taking this from me. Girl Moment: Killed her awful husband 8 times to count as 8 sacrifices and offered the last life to her buddy as a show of good will. How else do you make friends outside of high school

But I know now that Star Flower NEEDS to keep the canon fact she has very little agency, UNTIL that moment she snaps.

She's sacrificing one abuser to try and bring back a bigger, badder one, because in spite of everything, her father One Eye always made her feel safe. Even though he promised her off to Skystar, and expected her to be willing to die for him. She's followed every command, every order, past the death of his mortal vessel.

The first, and only, selfish choice she's ever made was in reaching out to Thunderstar to offer him the power of her father.

Thunderstar's Justice is a story about a Thunder Storm at the pinnacle of his arc, how the survivors of his Clan are settling into the new normal after the carnage of The First Battle, how Skystar's arrogance brings a violent god to the Forest... and the connection Thunderstar makes with the daughter of a monster.

baela IS just like daemon because when she broke out of Dragonstone as Aegon II was taking it to get to her dragon she really could’ve gone anywhere. Like as far as she knew she had her sister in the Vale, her dad in the Riverlands, and her stepmother and grandpa in King’s Landing. And she had all those options and instead of getting out of there she was like “attempted murder-suicide by dragon it is.” inheriting the impulse for self-destructive violence from her dad without occupying a role in the narrative that would grant her a heroic dragonrider death…

#‘baela is brave like daemon’ doesn’t hit the same as ‘baela inherited daemon’s violent instincts for better or for worse’ imo #asoiaf #but unlike her father she survived…..literally creating a world without dragons one she cannot adapt to #baela is so interesting conceptually. give her dark sister

IDEA.

What if LEAFPOOL was Scourge's reincarnation? She would still be a Trans icon, but she would sorta behave like Regina George and Isabela Madrigal before her song, and would be like some bisexual council for teens, even though she literally HAS toyed with toms and she-cats who like her, and it continued EVEN AFTER the Three were born! It took Starclan SO MANY MOONS to figure out who's their dad! She would also be a brat and would DEMAND to be carried around on a throne on her birthday, and DEMANDED to be brought on thr Journey, or else she'd tell everone.

(Dunno if I described her very well, but you get the point)

Docs still isn't letting me copypaste so I'm going to post screenshots of my OC au concepts instead... It's less convenient but oh well! This is mostly just for people who care about silly OC stuff like this! So. Here lol

#finn's ocs #it's just notes for fun i jotted down whenever i thought of something so there may be typos that's ok though #some people say modern aus are like... bad if your thing is fantasy because it takes away the fantasy but i think that's silly because like #the whole point of aus is to put characters in entirely different situations. i dont think slice of life or whatever is inherently lesser #of a genre. it's fine and it's fun. i dont think it becomes boring just because the characters dont shoot laserbeams anymore yknow #bc that's not whats fun about the characters to begin with. it's their personality! and putting them in a different setting to see #how they act and stuff is actually a fun writing exercise imo #like. setting is secondary to characters imo #good characters can carry any setting doesn't matter if it's fantasy or just slice of life! #that's what i think at least. i think it's silly to say that an imagined au without fantasy is worse because there's no fantasy #when the point is to be different!

Hi love! Do you think that harry team and Olivia’s are waiting for this to cool down a little to be spotted again? Or they are waiting to drop the bomb for the bua?

Hi dear,

I don't wanna get my hopes up, but probably them not wanting to be associated with her anymore and waiting for things to cool off.

Whatever is happening, we know Olivia will come out with a counter PR campaign soon, playing the victim and how Hollywood and social media are against women and women being successful. She's already started doing that. Bc of all of that I think it's easy for her to throw Harry under the bus as another fake, and another man in power who hates women.

So whatever they do, they probably would want a more quiet breakup....just silence, and them not together, with rumors and no confirmation. Then at the end of the year once he has a break from tour they'll issue an official thing saying they've been broken up. Then he can go on the second leg of his world tour and she can fuck off into oblivion.

THAT would be the ideal scenario. If his team are smart enough and are able to deal with this well. And if she agrees to terms. God knows what she'll do.

#olivia wilde is an insecure asshole #so hshq better lock down that end contract TIGHT #bc she will do anything to come out on top #she has nothing without harry's fame and star power #so she'll do anything to cling to it #even if it means endlessly throwing shade at him #or what have u #olivia wilde is a narcissistic asshole #holivia #holivia september 2022 #im pretty sure H has sent her to the dead zone #he's done done #she fucked up and fucked with him and his career #she's done #tbh if they prolong this it'll be save face #but it'd be way worse in the long run #imo #how long will the holivia stunt last? #fuck you olivia wilde #sept 16 2022 #sept 2022

Throughout Light and Dark

Throughout their journey between worlds Yoru and Vani tend to talk about the similarities and differences, between them as creatures made from darkness. Especially one from the ancient past, and the current present. This is just one of em.

Or

"The kinda smell... That smells... Smelly."

As promised! Some levity after the last few angsty snippets seen here and here.

Scent,

"I can tell you're making faces over there. If you have something to say, say it." Yoruhua says, not looking up from behind their delicious paste.

"...You smell different." Comes Vanitas' voice across from them.

Yoruhua stops mid bite, putting down their treat on oily crumpled paper. Chewing thoughtfully before responding,

"... I suppose I do, yes."

Suddenly aware of it, their thick smoky copal replaces the tasty scent of meaty, buttery puff pastries. Slightly disappointing her. But its Vanitas' own growing burnt palm sugar and rancid iron almost fully kills their appetite.

Vanitas glares at her for a second, still refusing to eat his own meal. The uneaten fluffy white rice in sharp contrast with the black beans and minced meat.

'His food is going to get cold.' Yoruhua muses.

Still, he doesn't mind, if he doesn't want to eat, then he doesn't have to.

"You're supposed to tell me why," he gruffs.

She smirks, "and you're supposed to use your words, and actually ask."

Vanitas looks likes he's about to snap, but carefully takes a deep breath and gives in. The iron fades out leaving only the bitter aftertaste of charcoal in the back of her throat, "Fine. Why do you smell like the Heartless do, but differently? It's weird."

"Well, I'm not just some Heartless, so jot that down. And, you smell too,"

He flushes and snarls, "I-I know that."

She huffs, "sure you did, but regardless- you probably just can't tell since you're not used to actively using it, so it's weakened." She says, "But, I guess it's because I kept my physical form. Unlike the rest of the Homunculi- eh, that's the other original Darknesses- I'm still me, well, not me exactly. But this... Body, you see, still remains from when I was a singular being."

At Vanitas' annoyed look and re-worsening scent, Yoruhua grimaces and tries to elaborate,

"Ah... So, the others all... Blended into one another, without a body to keep them separated. Souls and hearts grossly mixing without care just for power..."

"They aren't like you or me anymore- back then, in the Realm of Darkness, sometimes it would be so dark, that we couldn't even see one another. So we developed scents to detect, identify, and understand each other to prevent fights. Though, mine's changed a bit due to sharing a heart with Orichalchemi," she finishes.

Vanitas huffs, unsatisfied with the answer, "okay first of all; you suck at explaining stuff. Second; so what? You're saying you didn't always smell like a someone was burning s'mores with incense sticks in a graveyard?"

They quirk an eyebrow and ignore his insult, "you seem oddly fixated on the subject. Why do you care what I smell like?"

The boy frowns, looking down at his food and avoiding her own stare, "I... how do you control it...?"

A deep sigh, but a fond one. That's the most direct he's been about asking for their help. Well, their meal can wait.

Slowly, they place an extra of their pastes de tinga on his still full plate, responding cooly, "well, for starters, you can take better care of yourself. The more energy you have- the better. So eat before it gets too cold. A healthy body produces a stronger scent and makes it easier to focus."

Wordlessly he does as she says without a fight.

It's a small win.

Yoruhua smiles to himself, finishing off their own food. And watches over him fondly.

It's moments like this, where he's simply living instead of anticipating the next attack, that she enjoys most. Through she'll never get over how horrible it felt to be trapped within Void Gear, her one window into the real world was always the one silver lining.

Watching him sleep peacefully on those rare nights, or try a new skill and smile where no one else could see him when he got it right...

"What are you looking at?" Vanitas asks wearily, looking up at her.

Yoruhua shakes her head, "nothing, I..."

She looks at him, truly, and decides to just say it, "seeing how far you've come since we've started this journey... Well, I'm proud of you, I've always been."

Vanitas blushes, and glares down at his nearly finished plate, "I don't get how you can just say things like that. Putting your emotions on display like that, like one of those weak sappy Lights."

Yoruhua laughs, "hah, honestly, you call it a weakness, but it's a lot harder to admit than it looks."

"While being genuine puts your weaknesses on full display, it also makes you fully aware of them and easier to defend. You can't protect what you don't understand. Ori showed me that."

They add, "I find it... Impressive, that the Light feels so confident in such emotion, that they leave it out in the open for all to enjoy, because they know they can trust those others with it- and in their abilities to protect it when the time comes."

At that he stays silent but eventually the tension in his shoulders dissipate, "so you... Trust me? Even after all I did to you as Void Gear?"

Yoruhua nods, "of course I do, besides, you didn't hurt me- I was only trapped inside. I got to see tons of interesting things with you. You even freed me." A mischievous smirk creeps on his face as he reaches over to ruffle his hair.

"H-Hey! Knock it off!" He whines.

They laugh, "sorry, I couldn't help myself. You're sweet, even if you are a punk most of the time."

He light heartedly pushes her hand away, "yeah whatever, you deserve it for dragging me behind you everywhere, it's only fair."

"dragging you? We're bonding! This is like... Those family roadtrip Lights take all the time! I'm building your character!"

"You kidnapped me!"

"Same thing!"

While the two bickered, neither of them noticed the sweeter scent shift in the air, incense mixing with palm oil to create a more neutral, delicate sandalwood.

I feel like the reason FDS is a bit of a mess could be because of just how different it is from nearly every other touhou manga  Like all of them except for SSiB are all short stories with the characters divided up into usually one or two chapters And even SSiB which is the other one that doesnt really follow that format wasnt nearly as long as FDS is right now ngl ZUN might’ve bit off more than he could chew with it, writing long mystery stories like FDS is trying to be might not be his strong suit

#really just rambling ahh #idk man i just dont want to believe ZUN is getting lazier or worse with his manga or something #cause i think LE is like really good and the latest chapters have been some of the best of it imo #like we got yuugi appearing and chimata and sannyo some more as well really cool #hope this post doesnt reach that many people agh im just saying shit #really i just wanna enjoy touhou without thinking that all the new content is bad

No bc everyone is talking about how technology is getting more and more streamlined away from physical media but no one is talking ab how that’s happening to some assistive devices too??

Like I wear cochlear implants, and I had $50 earphones that were the quality of $5 dollar earphones but they connected to my receivers so they were all i cared about.

Then when I had to get an upgrade, the new receivers didn’t have a port where my earphones could connect to, so I was forced to transition to Bluetooth, or keep using my old receivers until they inevitably broke. Everyone who worked with me acted like I was crazy for wanting to stay with the earphones.

I’m not even sure what my point is but fuck!! Nowhere’s safe!!!

#Deaf #cochlear implant #imo the bluetooth audio quality is objectively worse as well #they also promised me that it would make my life sooo much more convenient without all the wires but then to connect to my laptop #I ended up needing to cough up 500 dollars to get this thing that I could Bluetooth connect to #that would then be connected to my laptop!! #so I ended up with more wires in my life than I did before! #anyway I’m more salty that I didn’t get a choice #there was no oh you could connect to the Bluetooth if you wanted but we left the port in so you could still use your wire #nooope #it’s just streamline streamline streamline

so hang on. daigo takes mine to earth angel and asks him if hes single in rggo???? 😭😭 and this moment between them is walled behind a japan exclusive app that not only is a gacha but entirely in japanese and i dont know enough kanji to understand half of what theyre saying??? 😭😭😭

Not Earth Angel; it appears to be Shellac, but it's not named so unclear if it is.

Semantics aside, I mean, RGGO isn't that inaccessible. There are fan-translations up for a number of things (certainly all of Mine's things) somewhere or another, sometimes even multiple to choose from. Like I said, I just don't have any to wholeheartedly recommend, either because I personally choose not to read translations by others or they're mine and not up to my standards anymore. The situation is not that dire lol, it's just a matter of looking for them

If you must, immediately, I've done this particular character story myself: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. I'm 1000% redoing it now that I can improve on practically every single aspect from recording to (actually) editing to translating with a proper understanding of Japanese vs. guesswork from when I'd just started learning, but it was reasonably well-received for the time. No chance in hell I'm rewatching to verify so if it's cringe: none of my damn business I'm keeping my eyes closed <3

#asks #anonymous #my clips #my translations #yoshitaka mine #mine yoshitaka #daigo dojima #dojima daigo #minedai #taking a risk tagging characters because even without rewatching i know for a fact this is not my best work #but yeah like i'm not gonna encourage anyone to play it because it IS a gacha #even so a lot of the content is archived and/or accessible in english #certainly not all of it! but that's what i'm working towards anyhow and it's achievable imo #in any case i'm IMMENSELY biased towards mine so it's just a matter of time until i translate/re-translate all of his content #it'll roughly total 27k words total when all is said and done but in the meantime other translations exist #and the studio is even interested in localizing the game. it's already been localized into chinese. so #it just could be significantly worse #because like. rgg kizuna and rgg mobile have been wiped off the face of the earth #and they also had original writers working on them

I think if a tumblr user says anything about history they should include Chicago style citations in the post. This is also true for other areas of study but I don't really know much about those so I only get filled with a blind rage when history posts are wrong. So that's what we need to fix first. For me.

#This is also true of my own posts and it's literally why #I try to only put history stuff in the tags instead of in proper posts #(so if I am wrong misinformation doesn't spread) and when I do I try to cite where I hot my information from #As best I can without doxing myself #Ie most of my information about maritime history comes from my job not classes so I only say 'I work at a history museum' #Not the specific museum I got that information from because that's not safe imo #Otherwise I'll say 'I got this from class' or 'I got this from a research projim working on' or a documentary or a book or etc etc #And if I say something like that you can always send an ask or a dm and I'll give you my sources! #But I don't include that stuff in actual posts because I'm at a weird point in my education #Where I'm technically trusted as a source of information for some people (working at the museum) but I still don't have my bachelors let #Alone the masters so I really don't feel comfortable positioning myself as an expert because I'm certainly not one #Which is why it makes me so frustrated when people who obviously have way less training than me (which is difficult!

Writing Gogeta's bio is having me once again getting tilted over how the fandom has treated the "what if the fusions never unfused" what-ifs. Always pairing them with Bulma and Bulma only. 😂 So irritating how Chi Chi gets no love. Multiverse is BLEH for this reason + some others.

If a relationship HAS to come to be, I'd even take them being in a poly dynamic, but. Ngl how fanon has glorified Bulma & treated Chi Chi like garbage overall makes me bitter and just prefer the fusions either getting with Chi Chi (though that still doesn't make sense) or no one at all-

#discourse cw #ooc. #/ i just hate the idea that the fusions HAVE to be in a relationship with one or both of them. so much. \ #/ first of all; none of the fusions are the men that they married. they're different dudes. thinking the women would just ''replace'' \ #/ their husbands without question speaks SO badly of their characters imo \ #/ lastly & more pressing: it's like ppl cant possibly fathom them all just. being single. allo bs at its finest \ #/ (un)official material like in the raging blast games is guilty of this as well but. the fandom man. the fandom's worse \
