No, please talk about the Scholomance, I have done nothing but blog about it since September. My blorbo Galadriel keeps rotating in my head.
i recently went through the the book again, this time as an audio-- it's very nice, i have no idea if the accents are well done but i enjoyed them--and the absolute funniest part of it for me was that El made a HUGE BITCHY SELF-PITYING POINT of how if her mum went into the world with no money, she would just coincidentally encounter people who were happy to give her food, shelter, and a ride to anywhere she needed to go, because her mum is just that fucking wonderful that everyone loves and adores her and does whatever she says and gives her whatever she wants, because fundamentally her mum is a good person and only ever wants to help people and fix things.
but of course if El tried that, El would end up in jail, because El is evil.
then El goes into the world with no money, and is continuously surrounded by people who shove food and tools and plane tickets into her hands, invite her into their houses and beds, admire her, help her, ditch their own people--families, elders, enclaves--to fall in at her side and do her bidding. because she's here to help everyone and fix everything.
she's just going to be a huge grumpy bitch about it the whole time.
i love her so much!

the fun thing about pro IC people is that they’re always so worried about what the rest of us are doing. I promise we don’t care about you like that.

I got a way better score on my Spanish placement test than I needed and have now effectively tested out of Spanish for Uni. Which I am very surprised about because I cannot speak a lick of shit and break into a cold sweat anytime I have to write in Spanish for a bilingual character.
Anyway I told my mom about it and she immediately said “you’re better than me because I would’ve helped you cheat!” LMFAO

there's something so dismal about how so much of tv fandom's energy nowadays seems to go towards trying to prove to big corporations that their show is good enough to save. like whenever a new episode or series comes out it's "remember to watch it all in 24 hours or it won't get renewed!" "play it on repeat for a month or else it'll become another piece of lost media!" "don't stop talking and posting about it during the hiatus or else this season that's already in production might not air!" "if this tag trends on twitter for long enough we might get eight episodes instead of six!!!" it feels less like we're enjoying a show that so many people worked hard on and more like we're trying to create rituals to please the gods (which replace gods with The Algorithm and you're not far off).
like i haven't even been involved in fandom for that long but even just seven or so years ago if a show did well enough that it was nominated for awards and trending on twitter and having well attended comic con panels then it would be renewed for at least a season or two. and back then being renewed for another season meant "we're for sure going to get a new season next year!" with almost no possibility of cancelation. and even shows that did just okay ratings wise would easily get 5+ seasons.
and it was more fun. when i was watching Doctor Who or Arrowverse or whatever in 2014 i could enjoy and critique the media itself instead of constantly being nervous about whether the next season will be cashed in for nostalgia bait or have its episode count cut or be postponed for three years or just outright canceled because it was slightly less popular than last year. like the fandom would still stress out over potential bad narrative choices or whatever but we would also get excited about the future.
maybe it's just my own perceptions but i just tend to find myself favoring fandoms for shows (or at least eras, i'm looking at you Doctor Who) that have been completed. i like Good Omens and Our Flag Means Death and Strange New Worlds and Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the latest Doctor Who era but i just find it hard to get invested when there's so much anxiety around if there will be a future to those shows and so much of the fandom activity revolves around that anxiety. and then as a result when the show does end for good (whether through cancelation or design) the fandom starts to fade away too because so much of it was based on the temptation of The Future.
and i'm also quick to admit that production in pre-streaming era shows had their own problems (once popular shows running for 15 seasons and jumping the shark just because it's a cash cow, tampered down diversity in the interest of "popular appeal", the whole quantity over quality issue, etc) but at least the fandoms were more optimistic and focused on the story itself instead of just being angry about the eternal potential of cancelation or outright deletion.
(also there are obviously much larger issues to the streaming model re: residuals and everything else brought up during the wga and sag strikes but that's all been said much more coherently so i'm just speaking from my own perspective as a fan. and even then there's still definite overlap between the fandom anxiety over renewal and the real world economic anxiety for people involved with production over "will we have a job/be paid". it's far too early to tell but i really hope the strikes will help to solve this problem.)

Real character growth is thinking weed is the Worst Drug On the Planet as a kid and growing up going "Actually, while weed itself has both negative and positive effects for different people for different reasons, we should talk about how the substance itself is used to demonize and imprison poor people, and you KNOW it's aimed even moreso at people of color, of Black and Latino people ESPECIALLY, all for your local Senator to get the shit shipped to their house and accept the taxes it brings in by the-"
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, Mr. Fucking Anslinger.

Okay wait…Idk if I just noticed this, but I just finished binge reading your texts. For the hyung line apart from Hyunjin, You capitalise their messages, but for Hyunjin and the maknae line you don’t.
Like at first I thought it wasn’t intentional, but you have done it for every single one since. Is there a reason for this??
I also don’t mean for this to come off as aggressive or rude, I just think it’s really interesting!! I haven’t seen other authors do that if it was intentional.
Or I’m probably just reading too much into this haha so sorry if I am and that you have no idea what I’m talking about!
💗💗
omg. omg omg omg?!
this is such a specific, superrrr specific detail that i have added to my text fics. i acc cant believe somebody noticed that like woah?!?!!????
i feel exposed idk why HELP like that’s so cool that you noticed that i am SHOCKED if you can’t tell.
to answer your question - i write the hyung line bar hyune like that because i think it reflects their age and it also helps me to distinguish the nuances between that character and the reader. hence why it’s so specific albeit essential that i add that detail because it helps me as the writer attune to the dynamic that i’ve created for the reader and that particular member!
again, i cannot believe somebody picked up on that you have impressed me! but to anyone reading this, go have a look at the texts to kinda see what i mean. idk if you’ll get it quite the same as i do as the writer, but it’s just a fun little easter egg!!
