so in the past month-ish there have been two separate instances where a friend of mine has had reason to show me that the fandoms I enjoy (namely star trek and a niche book series I'm obsessed with) have thriving fanfiction communities (context: While I did already know this about Star Trek, I have never read fanfiction or dove into that corner of the internet b/c I find it a little intimidating lol)
Anyways I've been thinking about Star Trek Voyager a little too much, specifically the ending and how unsatisfying it is.
There's a little voice in the back of my head telling me to spend what little free time I have writing something from the perspective of various crewmembers like a month after the Voyager gets back to Earth. It would inevitably be bad and I know this but like what iffffff?????????

#having a creative rut feeling#gonna rant#im basically a giant baby and i don't handle angst very well#and i constantly worry that im just. idk mentally weak or a deeply uninteresting person bc of it.#every big fantasy artist i see is usually very into making sad or angsty pieces and like i wish i was like that#like i fall into this mental hole very very often that im just holding myself back with how many subjects i dont write or draw#but also like when i DO write dark subjects it doesn't make me feel any better??#i dont like feeling sad or angry bc once i am its extremely hard to get back out of it.#and thats scary for me.#but also i want to make art that means something instead of my nonestop slew of smut and feelgood content.#i genuinely feel so trapped by my own emotions and its sp frustrating.#i keep getting told how good for you it is to get the negative feelings out but it never helps when i do it#i just feel. worse? i dont feel good.#i kinda wanna delete the one cloud post bc it just doesn't feel good.#ugh#idk i want to have good intelligent things to say and thoughtful art to make#and everything i make feels soft and cheesey and lame.#not that i find those things lame#but just that it feels like im stuck in baby brain.#when i was a teen i would write horror stories!!! i still love horror!!!#but if i make someone suffer in fic now it feels me with this awful awful overwhelming sense of dread and guilt and i end up so upset#im frustrated at me bc this is such a fucking weird sensitivity to have. im tried of telling myself its okay#bc i WANT to feel mentally free enough to create shit that isnt just uwu soft.#i don't think im making sense but like.#you know#I've literally been bullied out of fandom spaces for only making soft content#multiple times.#so idk maybe this is a learned sense of shame#but i feel like a big over sensitive baby and like I'd be able to do so much more if i wasn't#vent ish

a part of my extended family is coming over for almost the entire of my spring break and i hate it here. like yeah sure she’s said sexual things to me and slapped my ass even when i said to not to, crossed my boundaries countless times, belittled me almost everyday, called me and my siblings ‘abusive’ even though we were just trying to stand up for ourselves. no but she’s family so ofc that doesn’t matter, of course my feelings don’t matter, because she wants to come over and ‘hangout’.
well what if i just don’t like that? no because i’m the eldest so i have to set example so i have to be quiet and smile, make polite small talk, bite my tongue, agree with everything, let her touch me however she likes. just to keep what? to keep her happy? to keep the peace? or just so we don’t loose another family member because it seems the more time goes by more of my family rots and turns into a shitty person and we end up burning bridges. well what if i want to burn that bridge? but no, i’m a child, she’s given me gifts so i have to play nice, i have to sit still, have to endure her, because it’s the nice thing to do.

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 16: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should offer to help the travelers with their broken wagon.....
~
After much internal deliberation (and some zoning out staring at butterflies), The Adventurer decides it would be best to offer his assistance. Technically, he IS still following his goal of not getting distracted, because theoretically it would make his journey much faster if he were able to catch a ride on a carriage. So really, this is all an ultimate big brain genius strategy for maximizing efficient travel.. Or, at least that sounds like a good enough justification to him.
Gathering up all of his social courage, he approaches one of the travelers fiddling with a broken wheel near the far end of the carriage and meekly asks if there's anything he could do to help.
The man was so focused on his task, he seems initially startled to look up and find someone near him. "OH..! Oh, uhh.. help? With the wagon?", he smiles pleasantly, gesturing towards a few wooden boards that are just out of his reach, "Sure, kid. If you could just hand me th-"
"Apologies, but we actually won't be needing your assistance, stranger." A taller man, surprisingly almost matching the stature of the Adventurer, suddenly slinks out from somewhere behind the carriage, sternly placing himself like a barrier in front of the man working on the wheel. Wheel Guy nervously averts his eyes, making himself smaller, silently resuming his work.
The Adventurer tries his best to maintain composure against the weight of the tall man's bitter gaze, but can't seem to muster much of a response "Aeughh,,, uh… b-but, h- Bu--HHHh,,?.."
"Look, disregard whatever my father told you, he's old, never has any clue what he's talking about. It'd be best for you to simply move along." ('Father'? They don't look alike at all, and seem to be nearly the same age..)
"W-well.. he.. he didn't really tell me anything, I me-hhH,,.. I mean, I literally just got here, s-so...."
"Good. Even more reason to be on your way."
Placing a gloved hand firmly on his shoulder, the tall man begins to motion the Adventurer away from the wagon, but a strange noise interrupts, echoing from inside. Perhaps some sort of animal sound? Or a person faintly yelling about something? Or… both?
"WH-wHggg… whAT was t-that???!!" The Adventurer immediately stops in place, pausing to listen as the tall man keeps trying to push him ahead.
"I didn't hear anything, stranger."
"No, t-there.. was dEFinitely, UHH, a-"
"Likely something in the forest."
"Wh--aah... d.. do you think it was an animal?"
The tall man continues a dramatic struggle to 'subtly' drag him further down the road, whilst the Adventurer mindlessly digs in his heels, too distracted to even notice he's being so strongly prompted to leave.
"Many animals do, indeed, exist within forests. This should not be suprising."
"...It's just.. ..eughh… s… so weird…"
"I assure you, it is not."
"I-it really sounded like.. like it came f-from insid-"
"Yes, from inside the forest. Now, please, if you would.."
The noise interrupts again. It's definitely someone, or something, in some sort of distress.. And definitely from inside of the cart.
"wHoAAGH, aa!!! T-tHat's NOT from the f-forest, that-"
The tall man fully just shoves him now, sending the Adventurer toppling across the dirt, clumsily rolling and landing just past the other side of the carriage. A mother and young child who seem to be part of the traveling group simply stare down at him with empty blank gazes, wholly unconcerned about helping him up.
As the Adventurer fumbles back to his feet (still confused as to why he was even pushed in the first place), the tall man looms by the carriage, diligently watching to ensure that he leaves.
"Travel safe, stranger."
Despite his initial obliviousness, the Adventurer begins to piece the situation together as he stares back at the man, now fully convinced something suspicious might be going on...
…What should he do next??

I think I've spent waaaay too much time on tumblr today. I've witnessed a concerning amount of rancid takes, had to unfollow a bunch of people for agreeing with said takes, and now I feel like I'm falling into the rabbit hole of really lame discourse. Like super duper lame. Epically lame.

I've fucking cursed myself with an animatic idea that I never made and now any song that's about the way the internet fucks with ur psyche gets automatically associated with monika in my mind
#monika ddlc#doki doki literature club#the original idea was welcome to the internet by bo burnham and was mostly focused on her epiphany#and now ive got you liked this (okay computer!) by will wood and the internet has ruined me by wilbur soot on my list#the latter is funny bc im very opposed to animating her with a love song#i dont want to reduce a character arc about cosmic horror and derealization and the desperation for human connection down#to “girl sad boy dont love her so she kill girls boy love” thats so fucking lame#but i could make tihrm work#if i ever got MOTIVATION#but anyways. long rant i have many thoughts but dobt wanna derail my own post#thinking about like. monika discovering everything about our world through the internet and more importantly. social media#and so her worldview is gonna be warped by default#social media conditions people to view others not as people but as faceless entities#its not “10 000 people saw what you wrote and agreed with it/found it funny” its “your post got 10 000 likes”#its not that the person re arguinh with is a human influenced by their environment and upbringing its that theyre shitty by default#or alternatively its not that the person ur arguing with is someone with an influence on the real world its just a troll here to piss u off#things like doxxing. suicide baiting. threats of violence. child porn. theyre all things that we know are bad but happen regardless because#the internet is anonymous. its ok bc subconsciously the person isnt really human. theyre just another faceless user#this must affect how she views her friends#after all. theyre less than just users. theyre ai#it doesnt matter if theyre no different than her. it doesnt matter if the things shes doing are horrible#people on the internet have done similarly bad things to other humans. its fine. shes not a bad person. its fine.#deleting her becomes the equivalent of learning the stranger u sent gore to is your neighbor who uve had pleasant conversations with#the brutal realization that its not a faceless entity. its a human being you know and love. and youve done horrible things to them.#god i really need to make a video essay on this huh#if u read all of this character analysis mwah ily

Another thing that drives me nuts is how often conversations about gender conformity or lack thereof seem to center on these very obvious visual markers of gender presentation. There are certainly valid conversations to be had about makeup or whatever but to hear the majority of people talk sometimes you would think that being gnc consists of shaving your head and putting on a tie (or painting your nails and wearing a skirt).
When like...I’m 99.9% sure nobody has ever looked at me and questioned which pronouns to use, and yet after spending even a little bit of time with me many people (both women and men) perceive me as deeply unfeminine in ways they find actively contemptible and/or threatening. I know this because many of them have taken it upon themselves to tell me! And I also know that I have certain mannerisms/character flaws/neutral character traits which have never caused even a millisecond’s worth of conflict with my dude friends while a huge number of women find them off-putting to the point that I’ve had to carefully suppress/explain/apologize for them in nearly every female friendship I’ve ever had. (And I only learned how to do this with reasonable success - or even to pinpoint exactly what was causing the problems! - in my late teens/early twenties, which is probably why I still have considerably more close guy friends and still often find those friendships easier to navigate. That is a simple statement of fact that frequently gets read as some sort of self-congratulatory not-like-other-girls superiority complex - but trust me, I’m more frustrated by it than anyone else.)
A lot of this stuff isn’t even self-evidently Gender Stuff on the surface! Eg one of the reliable points of conflict I’ve encountered in relationships with women - especially though not exclusively during the earlier getting-to-know-you stages - is that I tend toward being kind of emotionally guarded/slow to open up. This is a trait that many people of all genders have! You wouldn’t think it would be such an issue! And yet I need at least two hands to count the number of explicit conversations I’ve had to have with women to the effect of no, I do not dislike you/find you annoying/think I’m better than you, it just takes me a little while to be comfortable talking about personal subjects, because in my experience the social scripts a lot of women follow for making friends involve a degree of emotional vulnerability that I am almost never immediately comfortable with and when I don’t reciprocate it frequently gets read as me being aloof/condescending/dismissive/deliberately insulting when in fact I’m simply private. THIS HAS LITERALLY NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM IN MY FRIENDSHIPS WITH MEN. It’s been almost a constant in my friendships with women - and that’s in the best-case scenarios where they don’t just immediately decide I’m the world’s biggest bitch and they want nothing to do with me.
(To be clear I’m not saying that Wanting To Talk About Emotions is some essential trait that all women have and all men lack. But I do think women and men often learn different social scripts for how to do friendship, and there can be a subtle sort of culture clash/emotional language barrier if you’re using the wrong set of scripts, and there are certain personality traits that sometimes make one set of scripts considerably easier to pull off successfully than the other. Also, contrary to popular opinion I actually feel quite strongly that the friendship script which involves loads of talking-through-our-feelings is not inherently better/more intimate/more supportive, though obviously everything has its upsides and downsides and there are healthy and unhealthy degrees of these things. Also this is part of why I wish we could have nuanced and sensitive conversations about gendered socialization instead of all having a flinch response because the TERFs use it as a weapon in a deeply stupid way.)
I’ve gotten more conscious of the problem as I’ve gotten older, and taken more proactive steps to avoid hurting women’s feelings by accident, but it takes work. I also freely admit that some of this could be social anxiety-related - but I am hardly the first person to note that unspoken and occasionally byzantine systems of interlocking social rules are frequently A Thing in “women’s spaces,” or that complex unspoken social norms are hell on social anxiety. I also do not think it’s an accident that I have a FAR easier time making friends with women on the internet - probably for a variety of reasons, among which I strongly suspect are “I feel slightly more comfortable opening up in certain contexts if you don’t know me IRL” and also “a slightly higher degree of guarding one’s privacy is normalized and expected to begin with.”
That turned into sort of a ramble/rant but the TL;DR is that I’ve spent much of my life struggling to navigate majority-female spaces and/or relationships with women, this is not a point of pride but a source of immense self-doubt and frustration, and a lot of the reasons seem to boil down to social and relational expectations that are subtly yet deeply gendered.
And yet I’m built slender and like my hair long in a way that visually tends to read as quite feminine even though I don’t particularly dress that way and I wear makeup like once a year to a wedding or something, and it’s those visual cues that take up a disproportionate part of the discussion when people talk about gender presentation.

hey, ive been rereading 'into the unknown' CONSTANTLY for the last couple of days because its so good?? i love it so much??? also, i wanted to know if we were allowed to write snippets based on your fics if we gift them to you on ao3? ive kind of been wanting to write stuff like how mari reacted to tim being called dilf (or how shed react if she got called milf) and/or tim finding out about how dami kept trying to manipulate mari about the daycare thing in chapter 14 lol
I've answered a similar question here and!! I'm just gonna do a little catch all thing:
Make content about my works!! Write your own versions, draw fanart, do spinoffs, etc! I'm not gonna be mad, in fact I gush about things like this to anyone who will listen CONSTANTLY.
All I'm asking is that you tag me in some way, because I want to see them!!!!!!!

I will never understand why some people feel the need to defend the indefensible.
#txt#i read a post that sort of defend disney la remakes/adaptions#they said that they were they are “own” thing and that they weren't there to replace original movies#and they don't ruin your childhood#now i don't think these movies will ever ruin my love for the classics#but stating that they are their own separate thing is fucking bullshit because they still take so much from the original movies#that it doesn't allow them to be their ACTUAL own thing. the only remake that did truly manage to be its own thing is the cinderella one#which still has the best la disney prince and the best la remake disney relationship#and as far as the replacing thing goes... i mean disney created these movies mainly to get to keep the copyright of these movies and#“fixing” what people regard as problematic of these movies. i don't think disney creates them with the purpose of replacing the original#but it presents it as more “mature” and “fleshed out” than the original movie because of the simple fact that it's live-action#so in some way they are being arrogant about their mediocrity#people like that are part of the problem. you are enabling this mediocre bullshit to go on#i can't stand the disney fandom because of shit like that. y'all are incredible with how much bullshit y'all accept from this company#as demented delusional heated and even downright rude as the star wars fandom can be they actually have BALLS unlike disney fans#and bro justified it by saying that marvel gets to create multiple universes with their characters. what a great comparison because the#multiverse-type stories are almost always shit and a mess 😭😭😭 the spiderverse movies are the only ones that dealt with this correctly#disney fans pls stop being goddamn pushovers. pls stop making excuses for this goddamn company#“their own separate stories” FOH 😒#lame ass fandom. this is why i stan these movies on my own. i realized most disney fans are a lost cause
