(Another Tim and Jason 4am meeting)

Tim: You think there's a universe out there where Superman is evil?

Jason: There's a universe out there where Batman dresses as an owl and tries to destroy the entire multiverse, so, yeah, probably. Why?

Tim: Why would he do it, I wonder?

Jason: Dunno.

Tim:

Tim: You think it would be because he fell in love with the Joker?

Jason: Excuse me, what the fuck-

the way toshiro is consistantly singled out as "that foreigner" even among ppl of his own party even tho 4/6 of his party are not from kahka brud or the island is so 😬😬😬

#dungeon meshi #laios was not the only one racist towards him he was just the most upfront #and even then he was willing to engage w shuro on some level as a person which is better to him than the general isolation and distrust #it still must feel bad tho that the person ur closest to still says all this shit all the time #other ppl regard him w in a community thats noted to be close knit... thats rough #probs why he and namari get along so well... shes also viewed w some suspicion #the way kabru describes him as shady but he just got kidnapped into the party.... #tossed around by the waters of life.... #also side note kinda interesting kabru seems to genuinely like shuro. people of csolidarity #toshiro nakamoto #honestly its too real no matter how good u are and how long ur in a community u will always be that asian #RIPPP

ykw i do actually agree with the people saying alastor isn't actually a father figure for charlie. not because i don't think they have a found family dynamic but because i think alastor fits much better as her unsettling and vague weird uncle.

#listen. we know alastor would not enjoy raising a child #but he'd absolutely take the kids for a weekend to teach them shady life skills and encourage them to do dangerous shit for entertainment #as all good uncles do #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #hazbin charlie #charlie morningstar

Episode 3 is so unassuming and dense. Having Din and Bo bookend Pershing and Kane makes the parallels stand out: Pershing and Bo as the title converts, led by Kane and Din as the true believers, to the New Republic and the covert as societies recovering from the Empire. In both cases, the converts aren't assuming new beliefs so much as returning to old ones; it's a homecoming of sorts for Pershing and Bo.

But where the two stories differ are where I think there might be some foreshadowing. Kane is a true believer insofar as she seems steadfast in herself and her motivations, whatever they are, in contrast to Pershing's crisis of faith in his place within the New Republic. We don't know why she set up Pershing - is it her nature? Gideon's plan? both? - but the point is that the seemingly true believer is actually a false prophet. Unlike Pershing, Bo is still in the early stages of her "conversion," but I think that parallel will hold. It may not be Din, it may even be Bo herself, but something will complicate her "redemption." Pershing couldn't find a home between his old and new ways of life, and neither will Bo. Pedro himself said he's excited for people to see Bo's journey, so something interesting is def gonna happen with her.

There's also Pershing's return to a dilapidated Imperial cruiser mirroring Din's descent into the bombed-out Mandalorian Mines, and the New Republic's Amnesty Program and mind flayer mirroring the Empire's imperialism and interrogator droids mirroring the covert's orthodoxy and orthopraxy like THE RHYMING Y'ALL

[dallonwrites]

bestie how the fuck do you start writing again when you haven't written in years bc you're so paralyzed with Fear of Writing Badly mixed with How Do I Get Started and also WHAT do I write about HELP

I WANT to write but every part of it is. so. DAUNTING

Ohhh bestie I have BEEN there. Whenever I take breaks from writing I find myself scared that I'll have just….forgotten to write?? I think the fear of "bad writing" is amplified when you don't write for a while, however long, because you have to like hype yourself up to go back to writing and it's like what if I do all that and then I just can't do it? Returning to writing, especially after a long time, for me has taken a lot of mental work, trying to understand what will make writing fun and healthy for me. A lot of it, honestly, is easier said than done, but also it's mental work you'll keep doing after you start writing again and as you write, and for me it's easier to process my relationship with writing when I am actually writing.

A big part of that mental work for me, and something I think is so valuable, is to reconsider what "bad" writing is and give yourself permission to write it. Sometimes you will think your writing sucks, happens to all of us, but that isn't all it has to be. Like yeah, I'll think something I wrote sucks, but I still wrote it. I can revisit it and work on it and maybe I'll turn it into something I'm happy with. And even if I don't, I still wrote it, I learned from it. Writing does not need to be "good" by whatever standard we're holding it up to for it to have value. And you can delete it! Nobody has to see it! Also you can have fun writing something and still think it's not your best. I've written a lot of "bad" scenes that I had fun with because the scene was entertaining to me! I love when writing turns out how I like it, or I write a banger prose line, but equally I found it helpful to give myself permission to not worry about that all the time and just focus on my interest/enjoyment in what I'm writing, regardless of the "quality". Again, easier said than done, but something I've found easier the more I write, because you'll have bad writing days but you'll also have writing days that are so good

I know a lot of people see writing as a skill that they want to improve, and like I agree it feels really good to see your writing grow, but writing is so much more than the skill and the craft and the theory. There is no objective "perfection" to reach with writing like we are not Sims with levelled skills LOL. Writing is art and creativity and it should be fun and fulfilling. And IMO, the more you focus on what makes writing fun, you will grow and "improve" as a writer a lot quicker and in a way that is a lot more enjoyable than if you treat writing like some icy quest for perfection. You also get to decide what "good" writing is for you/your story. Some of my stories are more prose focused and I'll play more with language, imagery etc. Others are more about the plot and just having fun imagining this scene. Sometimes it's a mix of both. What is "good" writing depends on the writer, story, genre, etc. There is no one way to write.

I'm rambling a lot because I'm just really passionate about this and I cannot express enough how easier writing got, including all the difficult and ugly and frustrating parts, when I gave space to prioritise my enjoyment and fun. People love to romanticise the idea of the "struggling" writer. I see stuff on here and I'm like you guys….writing should be fun. Like yeah sometimes it's hard and we should talk about that but like, you Need to make sure you are having fun. Anyway I'm going to try not to ramble and bullet point some things that helped me:

Make Writing Fun: Lol! Literally whatever makes writing fun. Sometimes I just write super indulgent scenes and the fun of that sets me up to work on my projects. When I work on my projects I try to find what in each scene I'm going to enjoy the most, and focus on that to help me write the rest. I make playlists, moodboards, memes, art etc for my story because it's fun, and it helps me be engaged with my story outside of writing it. Just, have fun.

On productivity: some people will benefit from setting clear goals and running towards them. Some people don't. For me it depends on my headspace. I don't think productivity is a bad thing, it can feel good, but productivity should not be the only reason you write. And the most productive writing process is whichever one makes writing enjoyable for you, because that's how you'll get words on the page

On that note, please be wary of anyone online who who treats the writing advice they share as Fact. I'm not saying every writing teacher out there does...but some of them market it that way! And creators do not have an authority on writing just because they have a platform however big. There are some AMAZING content creators out there who talk about writing, and I have found them motivating, but like just let yourself be picky about who you listen to/engage with. I say this because I consumed some very Strict writing advice when I was younger and it literally contributed to my years long slump so like...I'm picky now LOL

About goals: Personally, gentle goals are what help me get back into writing. Maybe just write for 20 minutes, or write every day for a couple days. When I do word count goals, I base them on how I feel that day, and recently I don't make a word count, I'll transfer it to the next session but smaller. So if I try to write 500 words but can't I'll say okay, lets try 250 next time. Goals can be a great motivator and way to feel achieved, and maybe bigger goals will help you, but you're also allowed to adjust them as you go to make it easier

On finding new ideas, having been there before, you don't need a fully fleshed out idea to start writing. My longest break I came back to writing with...one character and a backstory? If you have stories/characters already you can revisit them, either build on what you have or completely change it. Or if you don't have that, if there's a piece of media you like you can take that concept and play around with it in your own way, or you can even just write fanfic until you have your own idea (if you want your own idea, fanfic is cool too!) You can even just find a cool pic on pinterest and play around with describing it, writing about it, seeing if you can get anything from that. Ideas are everywhere and they can be tiny, and I think if you have that want to write you Will find your story eventually. All writers have had the Idea struggle, but I think the more you engage with writing and think about what concepts and stories interest you already, the more you'll like train yourself to get ideas

That was very long and maybe a lot but like, I am very passionate about this! I've been in writing "slumps" where I didn't know if I would write again, I've started writing again with no ideas, and in those times all I had was the fact I knew I wanted to write. There are a lot of reasons why we end up having long breaks from writing and it is totally normal, sometimes beneficial for us, and we should never give ourselves a hard time for not writing for however long. But also remember that you can always come back. Every one of us has the capacity to create, whatever that looks like, and you can make it as self indulgent and self serving as you want.

#also a bit on the creators and writing advice thing #I dont think every creator out there who does How To Do X.....is treating what they say as fact. and i dont think that's Bad #i think they're just teaching what they think is valuable info #but like...you're allowed to disagree with it #but I've also encountered people with big platforms who will say shit like if you don't do This Thing you WILL fail in some way #just because THEY had that expreience...or will do writing advice marketed like Harsh Truths For Writers!!! #and like yeah you might find something valuable in that but like it's all marketing!!! they want you to click on their post and engage! #again! not always a bad thing it's how the internet works unfortunately! but sometimes it IS kind of shady lol and you can just ignore it #i'm saying this as someone sharing advice right now. you can disagree with any of this lol #some people share writing advice online and that's literally how they make money or they're using that advice to sell their product #again fair i dont think that's inherently bad but i think just. look at this stuff with a critical eye. people have experience that can be #helpful but NOBODY is an authority on writing #cause unfortunately some people Are capitalising on the fact there are vulnerable writers out there looking for help #putting this extension in the tags because its not so much about starting to write again but i think its important #in regards to engaging with writers spaces. that engagement can be so motivating but you have to set barriers LOL

It's just real funny how the die-hard fans drink up Neil's every little droplet of virtue-signalling and fanservicey comment about how Crowley and Aziraphale were always totally gay and if you question it you're the problem, even though it wasn't in the text, also worship me I'm God, but JK Rowling should have just shut up after writing her books and everything she said afterwards, like making Dumbledore gay, is cowardice and not-canon. Like whatever one's opinion is on the topic of the death of the author and whatnot, the double standard is just irritating

YES!!!

I’m not a HP fan (haven’t watched or read it yet), but from what I’ve seen, JK wasn’t nearly as insufferable about Dumbledore as Neil is with his pandering? I saw an interview recently where she was explaining that as she got to know Dumbledore while writing him, she just knew he was gay. It sounds more like she had this idea of the character, and was honest about it when asked. And I understand why she wouldn’t make it super explicit in the books, considering (from what I know of the series) he’s a teacher being viewed from Harry’s perspective, so his sexuality is irrelevant. Whereas GO doesn’t really have that “excuse” for A/C, especially when it falls back on homophobic jokes.

Wasn’t there also an interview where she said that there was a fan at a signing that was genuinely enraged about Dumbledore being gay? And people managed to be mad at JK for it somehow? To me that shows that she was willing to be honest about her interpretation of her character even when knowing it could result in backlash. Unlike a certain male author who’s only recently started to accept the idea that his characters love each other, now that homophobia isn’t as common as it was before.

It’s wild though that JK can be so casual and respectful about Dumbledore, and people tear her to shreds for “pandering” and “cowardice”…but Neil’s basically just signing off on whatever comes into his tumblr askbox regarding A/C to gain clout among teenagers, and he’s treated like the god of “queer representation”. If he were a woman, I don’t think he’d be getting this much praise.

Tbh if Neil acted more like JK about this, I’d hate him much less 😂 From what I’ve seen, she was just being honest about how she saw a character. Neil on the other hand, seems to just go with whatever’s going to get him more social media attention and asskissing.

#it’s kinda fascinating to me tbh #because we see the same sort of thing with male vs female writers doing something wrong #a man could do a whole bunch of shady shit and everyone still worships him #a woman does one thing wrong and it’s all anyone talks about and even prefaces their love for her work with ‘but I don’t endorse her!’ #asks #anon

[ebbpettier]

i don't believe in the fandom concept of problematic faves (all characters should have at least one Problem, i think, for flavor) but if i did, fiona pitch would have a permanent throne at the very top of my list. i just think she's neato-cheetos.

#on a scale from one to belittling a teenager who was just subjected to weeks of solitary confinement starvation torture #i think that fiona is a 10.5 and should consider prozac #rainbow has a way with multifaceted characters who do things because it's the only thing they know how to do #good things for bad reasons and bad things for good reasons and selfless things for spiteful reasons and vise versa etc #everyone is at least a bit of an asshole about something. even goodboy milk chap boyscout simon killed a bunch of vampires on sight #they were probably up to something shady but the likelihood that they were gonna kill those girls in broad daylight at a crowded renfaire? #probably pretty low. too late to un-kill 'em though. like. those were People. vampires are People. goblins too. #imagine you're a goblin looking to make some serious changes in your society and the only thing you have to do to achieve those goals? #is kill a fifth grader that already hates you and your entire species on principle and would definitely kill you first given the chance #some of those goblins were probably pretty power hungry assholes but i imagine if they have a monarchy they also have tax laws and shit #i couldn't kill a fascist cub-scout for free healthcare but i'm also very anti-murder in general and goblins seem quite pro #i am definitely thinking way too far into this but that's also my One SkillTM #the incredibly similar way that simon and fiona view 'dark' magickal creatures (and what it means about the entire WoM) is an essay itself #its also a LONG essay and i'm too much of a weenie to post in-depth fandom opinions more controversial than 'big teeth Hot' #so the gist of it is 'I JUST THINK THEY'RE ALL NEAT I LIKED THE BOOK A LOT' #del/lat

where do YOU stand on the Teague Martin Genuineness Of Belief spectrum??

like ok suppose on one end we have 0% genuine: doesn't care at all about the strictures or the abbey, the whole thing is just a ruse to further his agenda, not religious at all.

on the other something approaching 100% genuine: actually fully believes in the strictures and everything, genuinely feels awful about himself for breaking them, very religious.

one moment i will illustrate

#teague martin #forgive me for tagging something that involves my mspaint monstrosity but i genuinely want to know #i dont think ive ever written a completely scheming martin like theres usually at least a bit #of actual belief in there (even if its very very minor) #but i find it hard to imagine a VERY religious martin given the. everything else. #but ive seen it written! and very well too! #i just find it interesting to think about also bc its a decision i make anew every time i start a project #and you can take it literally either way because the canon on this is. lmao #hes shady and mysterious and may or may not be up to shit at all times but we dont Know know

[ssaalexblake]

in all seriousness, the dw team's refusal to report the dw casting with honesty is terrible for a few very valid reasons, but it has also left tagging systems a fucking mess. I can't block 14 because i don't Want to block gatwa content but people are either A) refusing to not call Gatwa 14 on principle or B) called him 14 for so long because That's What They Were Told He Was and now don't want to go back and edit all their tags bc it's too much work.

you couldn't just have been fucking Honest?

#dw shit #oh sorry it would have made it more obvious how shady all that shit was if you'd dropped it all at once wouldn't it #not to mention now two companions have the same name. you KNOW this is a dumb thing in a cult fandom russell. #you know that. #i have no urge to block new rose but sometimes old rose fandom is insufferable #i have to watch the show to remind myself i like her if i spend so much time with her fanon counterpart #she's like reid like that. i like first four seasons reid. fanon reid tho... ick #anyway there were So many ways to go about this that Weren't so deeply questionable but they dodged it all comfortably #to wade into the 'shit's fucked up' waters up to their waists
