The only thing that made me at least smile on the last Technoblade video was thinking about when that #FuckDave was going around and imagining how much he must've laughed about it because that wasn't even his name

#tw death #technoblade #I cried a lot but this little part made me smile #It's just... #such a Techno thing to do

I would like to thank every person that loves Aran. Every person who does fanart of him, who writes about him, who include him in content where he is originally meant to be in. Because, so many other people just... Erase him, kinda. It makes me wanna go crazy ! Why would you do that he is such an amazing character 😭.

Some weeks ago I went to a convention. Then I stopped at a stand of an artist and I was just ready to drop on the floor and cry because there was Aran. She drew Aran. So I tried to act normal and failed and I just like half shouted : "It's Aran!" to my sister who was with me. And then, the artist just said : "Yeah I drew all the national team", very casually. But I know that I saw so many drawings of the national team and he just wasn't there. I was this close to just straight up cry while thanking her for her work.

#aran ojiro #haikyuu!! #hq #arankita #my sister bought me the art he was on #I cried #i just look at it everyday #it's just... #I really love him you know #and it's infuriating to know why Aran is erased like that #so yeah thanks to everyone that loves him and do content about him #y'all keep me alive 😭

On every character sarah writes having the same personality: why does every main girl have to be this big planner who has multiple plans on backup and never tells people, only to surprise everyone when everything goes right at the end with no prior explanation... idk if I'm putting this right, but it just made me very... annoyed

Like yeah, that worked great with Aelin, sure, but for me it just doesn't fit with Bryce? Especially on how she was just thrown at this and suddenly figured out she was The Chosen One(tm). It really bugged me, idk

Fair warning, this post rips Bryce a new asshole - not as a person, but as a character that sjm created. So I'm putting it under the cut.

Just to start, in context I said that all the hofas characters ended up having the same personality - though you can make a case for her reusing a lot of the same descriptions and such for all of them. ANYWAY...

To me, the issue is not just that Bryce keeps doing things behind the scenes that we never get any hint of, it's a bigger issue that we never get a hint that she even gives a shit.

With Aelin, at least we already knew what she was working towards and why. We already knew what she cared about and how far she was willing to go to get it. Aelin caring about Terrasen and her court and saving the people she loved was never in question. Her trauma from finding her parents dead, her fear at losing the rest of the people she loved, the weight of responsibility that she felt, we knew all of those things pretty much from the get-go. Her tendency to shut people out could be considered a flaw because she didn't trust other people to help her. We don't know about Terrasen right away, and tbh I don't remember what history we get instead and so I need to reread, but I can point to very specific values, goals, and motivations that make Aelin act the way that she does.

But Bryce - the central problem with her as a character is that Bryce doesn't care about anything, and sjm never figured out what she cares about, either.

Characters need to have central things that they care about, that drive them, motivations, things that they fear and things they would go to great lengths to protect. They need flaws, and clear relationships to the world around them. I could make a list of those things for a lot of her characters. Not all, but most.

With Bryce, I have NO IDEA what those things are. That makes it so that when she randomly find Emile, it just seems like she did it to come across like a nice person. She doesn't care about what humans are experiencing, she shits on Vanir/fae all the time, she treats Hunt pretty poorly, she isn't close to Juniper or Fury (see: their near disappearance from hofas), Danika kept so many secrets from her that I seriously doubt the depth of their relationship. Bryce was working in that library museum thing for Jesiba (I'm already erasing the series from my memory oh my god) and going out and partying and that was all well and good, but... was she going to do those things when she's 200, too? I'm not even saying that she needs to like, go get married or whatever, but she literally has no goals in life!

SJM saying that Bryce is the fun, cute party girl who also has a deep, intellectual side, a pretty woman who can also kick ass, okay, but she needs a reason to kick ass. SJM completely forgot to include the second half of that equation, which is ironic since that was a big point of her character - to prove that women can be feminine and strong, wear high heels and be smart. She failed miserably in my opinion, if that really was the goal of Bryce's character.

When Aelin is snarky to people, I know why. When Bryce is a bitch, it comes out of nowhere and is often turned on people who actually deserve her time and attention and empathy (e.g. Sathia). Aelin is an asshole to that one dude whose name starts with a D because he's a man who is underestimating her and wants to refuse to let her lead because he assumes she will be bad at it. When Bryce is an asshole to Sathia, WHY. I mean really, I wanted to throw my book across the fucking page!!!! Because that's a perfect example of how, if Bryce was guided by a set of values (feminism, I guess?) then she would have responded very differently to Sathia, who has experienced literally the exact same thing Bryce has (being betrothed to someone against her will). Instead, Bryce throws that line back in her face about "well I never let that stop me" as if what Sathia has experienced is her own fault for... not trying enough??? PLEASE. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.

The whole "girlboss" thing needs.... something driving it. You can't just bulldoze people and call it being empowered. And I think that sjm has really, really simplified gender and sexuality in CC to the point that that's really the only distinction that matters. That's maybe another issue. I just have a lot of thoughts about these things lol.

Anyway. This is what happens when you write a character built on aesthetic and #girlpower, rather than making them a complete person with fears and values and joys and goals and motivations and flaws.

Okay one more point, this is NOT beyond sjm's capabilities. She obviously is much better at writing characters than this. I just think that sometimes, something suffers when you try new things. In CC, sjm was giving actual world building and magic systems a go. And the characters, really, REALLY fucking suffered for it.

Is it normal that I somehow relate to a woman who had lost her husband right after giving birth to triplets and then got isolated from the entire world?

Dazai's trench coat flies away before he steps into the light where he will witness the conversation that will lead him to leave the mafia... With his uncertain loyalty to the mafia he left behind, Dazai runs to Odasaku, under the setting sun shining through the window.

Kind of last resort but... Things have uhm. Come up. I'm moving to working nights and ONLY for a few months this Spring, but I got a morning shift coming up this week and well... There's just a few -nurses and patients- I'm trying to keep away from for a while. I'm not willing to go into details I just can't work with he- them with everything happening to me right now.

The pride flag that traveled most of the world with LTWT since February was delivered today.

And... THEY LAUNCHED THAT AROUND THE WORLD FAN COMMUNITY LET'S ALL BE TOGETHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER THING TODAY?!

Honestly, sometimes I hate coincidences like this. Either we're too in tune with them or wtf.

Do you ever felt dissapointed when the fanfiction writers you followed posted a new story of different fandoms than what you followed them for?

I meant, I know that he/she has other fandoms he/she followed and write for.

I KNOW this fact, clearly, especially when I can see the list of them (like in Ao3) in their profile.

It's just, I felt kinda dissapointed when I got a notification of them posting a new story, expecting it from the fandom I expected, but I got it wrong.

Especially when I really really like their writing.

#mi post #i didn't meant anything #it's just... #well #idk #wondering if anyone felt something similar like this
