Sometimes I just wanna write a full slasher all suspense all stress no happy ending for the character I’ll pick as the slasher all brutal final girl prevails etc etc

#ever since I recced Stephen graham jones to Vic yesterday I was thinking more and more abt his stuff #and would just love to try and write a slasher #but idk if anyone would be interested without any like #I also love. writing gore #idk obviously it will be weird and creepy and the obsession will be there #as slasher x final girl really does go crazy in such a deep sense but obviously I don’t want to write like #it’s not romantic #my thing w the final girl and slasher is that they mirror each other #like there’s always something that connects them no matter how different they may be u know #anyways I have to think abt the character #there are obvious choices but but but hmmmmmm #ghost thoughts

Anne Rice on transgender people

Writer, actor and activist Phaylen Fairchild wrote a Medium post calling Rice her friend and “first LGBTQ ally,” recalling when she reached out to Rice in the early 2000s via the email address listed on the author’s website. Not only did Rice respond, she encouraged Fairchild’s newfound writing aspirations. 

“At the time I was a navigating difficult territory of gender and sexuality, and she was the first person I came out to as gay,” Fairchild said in the piece. 

“Anne, although I never heard her voice, felt like a safe place. … She gave me confidence to live authentically, telling me ‘Your life is a story, every day is a new page. Live a story worthy of telling again and again.’”

In 2009, Fairchild came out to Rice again, this time as transgender.   

“In typical Anne fashion, she thought it was fabulous,” Fairchild remembered. 

“She told me at the time that she believed transgender people were sacred, that we possessed a unique gift of life experience that few ever would, which would allow us to see the world from ‘a view from the greatest height.’ She shared with me stories of trans figures in history that she had learned about in her own extensive studies. ‘The most fascinating figures in mythology were always transgender or genderless’ she once told me. ‘And in so many cultures reaching back thousands of years, transgender and intersex people were deified, perceived as wise and powerful.’”

“Anne Rice was the first person who made me feel that it was OK to be comfortable in my skin, and that my journey as a transgender woman was special — not because I was by any means odd, weird or different — but that I was worthy of celebrating because my very existence was ‘a remark on the magic of the complex human condition,’” she continued.

from this article.

#reading this as a trans person myself honestly just made me cry #listen this woman had her demons as we all do etc but i will love her all my life for what she has given me with her books #ofc there are things one can (and should!) criticise abt her/her writing but #next to this will always be the overwhelming love I feel for her work #and what is a writer's work if not the purest expression of their soul #also can we contrast this with fn JKR #I grew up with her books and I am currently re-reading them and I love them just as much as back then #but esp as a young queer teen in a mostly pre-internet/social media age these books expressed something so profound and beautiful #not just on a queer level but on a human level. they will forever be a part of me #i love her. #and finding this bit after her death honestly just hit me really hard #i'm really struggling w mortality and depression currently and continuously but...there is also such insane beauty in the fact that #that we may live on in others via our art #she is honestly still one of my big idols/inspirations in life #personal #trans stuff #transgender #lgbtq issues #anne rice #iwtv #amc's interview with the vampire

the problem with me and nolan is that i ALMOST love a lot of his movies (that ive seen) except in almost every one there's 1 glaring aspect that i hate (it's usually misogyny) that makes it hard to like the rest of the movie

#i mean. oppenheimer is an outlier bc there's several aspects i dont like abt that one #interstellar? misogyny. inception? only one i don't have major issues with #misogyny still there but at least theres less than fuckin. interstellar #dont get me wrong i like interstellar otherwise but like. #both it and oppenheimer have a problem of the film TELLING us that the women in it are super smart and influential! but in the film itself #they never get to show that like. when does murphy do anything really. when does anne hathaway's character do anything except #hinder the mission because of ~emotions~ why is the main guy always right even though hes not always the most qualified person in the room #why does kitty oppenheimer say ive been upgraded to housewife! sarcastically only to be cast right back into that role by the film #no matter how good emily blunt may be she can't save that she has 1 good scene and it's not that long #dont even get me started on jean tatlock in that film ill start biting. #i KNOW that parts of oppenheimer are supposed to be subjective but do we ever see those women in the ~objective~ section? no #and if that's your only portrayal of these women with only vague indicators that there might be something else going on i'm not letting it #go. excuse for writing them badly #ANYWAY #neon has thoughts #movie tag #i think nolan and i just don't get along. i think i need to accept this and move on with my life but unfortunately it's really frustrating. #all his stuff is ALMOST good. and then

eighty three average (krbk)

- College AU - bakusquad all together in a house - the pining stage of Friends to Lovers - 5k - Rated T -

Prev: “In high school, did you do physics?”

“No way. APES.” As Ashido shakes her head, her earrings catch the pink neon light of the wall behind her. It looks like a little swarm of fireflies is caught in her hair. “Soooo much cooler. Our final exam was camping.”

“Oh, sick,” Jirou says.

“Well. Camping while digging up a lot of worms.” Ashido wrinkles her nose. Tomo must have been in the same class as her. In the few months after that exam, he remembers hearing a lot more about worms than a high school guy normally would put into a conversation. Maybe Tomo was doing it on purpose, to freak him out. It kinda worked on Tanaka. Tomo must’ve forgotten how many worms Eijirou moved back to the grass with his bare hands when they were kids.

On the lowest string of her guitar, Jirou plays a waaah waaah waaah sound. “See, Kirishima. It could be worse. You could be digging up worms right now.”

With his bare hands. “Nothing is worse than physics.”

Summary: In which Kirishima does no physics, works his way through all three floors of he and his friends' college house, and accidentally solves a problem that has nothing to do with the lab he has due tomorrow.

Note: happy 5 years of krbk!! 🎉 no matter how much time goes by, everything is good when it’s with them

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying

#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story #Seven’s Celestial Commentary #Everything Stays #writing stuff #i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic #there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good #the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand #i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun #but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader #can’t decide which i like more #god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head #next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao #and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts… #Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude #‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!! #picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God #‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down #‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!! #anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations! #and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped) #(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’ #‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’ #like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for- #like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon #‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’ #‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’ #*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters #anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many #gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced #even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

Saw op red film today and firstly, I enjoyed the movie, really did. Secondly tho, why do I feel there was so much, so much, potential lost?? Can I trust fanfiction will fix this?

#im just sad bc we didn't get to see the strawhats interacting together. fights were sick. music was sick too! #but i want to fucking see them interacting. how can i stress this enough. let them fucking hang out pls we already dont get that in canon #there were so many characters that changed nothing for being there or were there just as plot devices/fanservice #which is cool I loved to see Brulee again. but i wanted to see ;;;;;;;; the strawhats ;;; ;;; pretty please ;; #im just really not vibing with shanks-uta and yasopp-usopp parenting honestly. #i liked the moment Usopp said something along the lines of #alsp unrelated to the movie but i watched it subbed. and kid you not the subs were ughhhh not great. #i may be too used to fan subs but cOME ON #i think they simply took the dubbed script and slapped it down and it defeated the whole purpose #i want to know what they are actually saying. not an adaptation of that. #but that might be my picky ass. because if i keep complaining people will think i hated the movie when in reality #it's;; complicated;;; #yes i had a good time watching. but i was left longing for them to be more brave and write something not cliche? if that makes sense?? idk #i haven't really been in touch with what people said abt the movie so now im curious #it jad it's ups and downs and in the end. im probably asking for toouch out of it * sigh * i need to sleeep #tag hell #me blabbering #one piece #op spoilers #op red #one piece red film #spoilers

FINDING MORE SHIP FICS 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

seriously. and to tag obvious ship fics with “joel & ellie”???? no that is the platonic tag please get your nasty writing AWAY from it

#I saw a post abt a Joel and Ellie poem and what Joel wishes he’d said to her #it was like 300 words so I skimmed it #and there was a line about kissing lips or something and I was like #hmmmmm #so I checked the author #lo and behold #and the people who are like #don’t like don’t read #you’re writing pedophilia. how about don’t write something that’s illegal. #even if you ‘age up’ #you are writing characters that are literally father and daughter #to age ellie up or put them in an au is still just as gross #I may not like it and I definitely won’t read it #but I will talk about the very not good decision you’ve made in writing it.

one in a million when i watch smthing in the horror genre and don't end up disappointed to/and/or pissed off about it so like "also yeah i liked it. ooo" is like relative to that an off the charts rave review of media of the millennium. also i did think about mh a lot along the way so would recommend its affect/effect if you like mh's horror too

#i didn't realize at first that's the director/creator tim's qrting. thought a rando went ''i love mh'' & he went ''& i love smthing else'' #saw this a few weeks ago while also like writing or drawing or smthing like oh good plot's beside the point? b/c i'm splitting this focus #even checking in w/recaps was both like oh ok i missed that / didn't realize xyz could be a Thread or something but each of the like three #or four recaps i went over Also saw points differently in terms of even like; who was there or said what lmfao. or noting sm detail at all. #i went ''oh worm?'' at some early shot that may or may not have even gone mentioned by any of them. depending lol. doesn't matter #anyways we don't have time for tags media analysis except that i'll count this as: once again horror for children wins. even tho it's... #not rated? well anyways you know. probably generally not advisable for children as a direct audience lmao. however #like yes as per the premise as a child we've all experienced this [the media] anyways. perturbing summons dreams we've all had em #anyhow fr i'd even struggle to think of horror movies i'd say i mostly liked / would or did rewatch but still wasn't like. i disliked major #elements / choices to the point of being pissed off abt it. so many movies i can't be bothered to watch b/c i already know specifics like #i don't like or respect any of you people. or choices or elements or premises or executions or effects. not even interested fr like lord... #but often what has better odds are mediums that Aren't straightforwardly tv / film. like i'd compare mh to a series of several movies and #that's also imo largely a more apt categorization than saying it's an ARG or smthing but anyways like i'd recommend it to someone sure.... #rare to be like yeah a movie was enjoyable. & if you already liked mh then that's a useful reference point here #which like usually i'd use mh as a categorical tag but idk i guess actually it's actively popular nowadays lmfao i really don't know #posting is already exhausting like whew but this one's for whosoever happens to follow me i guess #which is possible? nonzero ppl arrived for mh but unlikely lmfao. but also ppl see it on their own anyways coincidentally. #and you never know who observes the posts like hell yeah for an anon enjoying niche akd theatreposting who is to me ambiently out there #really odd the other day seeing an mh reblog like ''??? huh. i made that eons ago; then'' & people in the tags talking abt some repost like #on the one hand that Original Source post is two layers of deactivated blogs so a repost could be archival. but if they don't say as much #i.e. that it's even from a different source then that's not exactly it then is it. but also that even finding an original document For OP #is like. oh yeah that's me actually. but then knowing & technically saying as much doesn't / didn't actually affect me as that op lol #just kind of archival on both ends then. vs someone else in the tags saying they saw it on fb 9 yrs ago? definitely didn't post it there #my true op experience: keeping it nicheposting & just kind of saying sm shit & maybe some people are out there nodding thoughtfully #oh also in case fyi. that's tim as in actor playing [also tim] in mh. & did some writing for mh & other such behind the scenes efforts also #every time i look at the text in this post i notice a new typo of mine. get it tgoether (organic typo there. so; lol)

where r all the essays comparing and contrasting the themes and characters and styles of haikyuu and kurokos basketball. somebodys had to have written one in like 2015 or something right

#must i do EVERYTHING MYSELF. #i actually think they're completely diff anime and go about being a 'sports anime' completely differently #but i think thats an interesting point of comparison that can be deeply explored #its actually what i find most interesting abt these two anime. like at heart they are both a sports anime that mean to underscore the #importance of teamwork and the love of the game but they go about it in such different ways #as i understand it now. haikyuu is unabashedly a volleyball anime while kurokos basketball is an anime that happens to be about basketball #and thats not a knock! on either of them! they may share commonalities but #they are animes that do different things! so of course they go about being a sports anime and utilize sports differently! #dies #i want to read something abt these animes that make me look and think abt them differently forever!!!! #i wont actually write an essay abt this #but i might be coming down w something (a cold) that i might write one in my cold induced haze

[aeide-thea]

also: i just finished n*torious sorcerer, and enjoyed certain aspects of it but was left unimpressed/unconvinced by others (longer letter later on this, maybe? no promises tho), which i guess makes it yet another addition to the growing list of m/m tradpub fantasy novels i wanted to love but ultimately didn't, quite? part of me is honestly starting to wonder if the capacity for love is burnt out of me, although that sounds awfully dramatic and i quite frankly think it's equally possible that we're just getting more and more writers coming up by way of fandom and that it's eaten particular, recognizable sorts of holes (ha) in their skillsets...

#i mean—i don't know‚ that may be confirmation bias #it's not as if writers who didn't cut their teeth on fandom are universally good at‚ say‚ establishing worldbuilding #and not just sketching it out suggestively and relying on readers to supply what's not stated #(also like. at some level good worldbuilding can be sketched out as long as the sketch is *sufficiently* suggestive. sargent style.) #(and certainly overexplaining can easily sour into exposition dump. but like. you know what i mean maybe.) #or at writing women #(and actually on that point i thought this book was notably more successful than‚ say‚ meadows' or rowland's most recent efforts) #(still a bit unbalanced in that there were arguably four major characters—the central m/m couple and then a pair of sisters— #and the men had their arcs‚ i thought‚ much more resolved than the women did) #(in fairness i think the 'gotta leave something for the sequels!' factor may be relevant there) #(but—idk. something to be said abt priorities and whose stories we feel it's necessary to resolve at least the opening act of #vs whose stories we think we can leave in-progress and still feel as though we've tied up enough loose ends to have a satisfying book) #anyway—i hope obviously!—i'm not saying writing romance between two men is somehow an intrinsically misogynist move #but like. esp if you're writing something that's got a plot bigger than just the romance‚ i do feel like you ought to have women characters #and they ought to be given enough weight to feel like full people‚ even if they're full people we aren't focusing on #or otherwise spending a ton of time with #i don't know. i don't want to carp about any of this. i want to be magically presented with stories i love #where i don't feel the need to start squinting suspiciously at aspects of them because they've successfully convinced me #i wish i could tell whether the problems are with what i'm reading or with me :/ #(very possibly both. road to el dorado gif only it's the dark version so no one has a goatee.) #bookblogging #you may have gotten the impression that i love to be a hater but i'm actually very tired of it #would love to be transported actually! cue patrick wolf the days

I am so normal about my favorite things

OK well it is well known and documented that I am a little too into fictional characters I am aware of this I can clearly talk and talk and talk and talk and talk about pretend guys when the mood hits me but. Sometimes well. I don't know. If u r writing meta/analysis/critique of a fictional character and its like. You could fully switch out the characters name with a celebrity or a real life person and you wouldn't notice the difference. I think that's weird. I think if u are discussing the actions and behaviors of a fictional character and it is not clear that you are talking about a character within a narrative. That is weird. Do u know what I mean.

#I mean specifically in the sense of like 'calling out' or even defending. A Fictional Character. As if they r a real person who did #or did not do something. #Or just otherwise talking abt them like a human being with free will. As opposed to a puppet on strings with a specific narrative purpose #dependant on the Actual real human being that is controlling rhem. #Like I think if that is the case. You may be in too deep. #THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO DEFENDING CHARACTERS FROM BIGOTED WRITING OR WHATEVER OBVIOUSLY LMAO. #Like with Talia. Because in that case you are addressing the real world racism of certain writers. Which everyone should be doing always. #Well thats a good example too cause on the flip side the people that hate her do literally act like shes a real person who did all that 💀
