STOP EVERYTHING AND GO READ THIS FIC. DO IT NOW.

i don't remember if i ever recommended this fanfiction here but even if i did do so, it deserves another mention and all the mentions that will (and they WILL!!!!) come after this. this is straight up the best zelda botw fanfic i have read. i have spasmodic euphoria every time i read it and i have read it a couple times already and the intensity does not change. the author has the hands of god and a mind worth the entire sun. if u have ever cared about botw even the tiniest bit or heck. even if you dgaf about botw read it. read it anyway. it's SO GOOD its DEVASTATING

#AREA MAN READS WORDS SO GOOD HE COMMITS ARSON!!!!!!! #my feelings towards this fic is like that one meme with the man surrounded by microphones saying Would #if this fic were real i would legally marry it #wake up babe it's tim's periodic losing it over ao3 perennials fanfiction #and IF U CARE BTW. THEY ALSO HAVE HAIKYUU FANFIC IN THERE. IT IS ALSO STRAIGHT UP GOD TIER #fic rec #the legend of zelda #zelda #botw #totk #zelink

what’s aba

ABA stands for applied behavior analysis. It’s a super common and pervasive “treatment”/“intervention” for autistic children-- because they're showing "disruptive" distress behaviors, because their autistic traits are seen as needing to be assimilated to fit into capitalist society, because it's just seen as the thing you do with autistic kids

Basically it tries to change someone’s outward behavior using rewards or punishments. When it was first invented (by the guy also involved in creating conversion therapy!), these included slaps and electric shocks. Today, most of the methods have been made much “friendlier”, but still arguably work to make an autistic child’s behavior easier to deal with, more “normal”, more compliant.

While it often /is/ effective in changing outward behaviors, that says nothing of its potential to teach shame, masking of autistic traits, reliance upon prompts/rewards to do things, teaching that you must always obey authority figures, that your internal feelings are unimportant, the trauma of potentially aversive punishments, the fact that kids as young as 2 get recommended to spend up to 40hours a week in intensive ABA, the fact that it rarely addresses (or even worsens) the actual issues underlying distress behaviors…. and ultimately the message is that disabled people must be changed to fit into abled society, rather than abled society changing.

As that post I reblogged said, it's important to nuance to the discussion beyond "ABA=abuse", especially regarding how so many social forces shape the reality and power and experience of ABA, incl the absence of better types of care.

#thanks for letting me infodump. I think i don't realize that this is sort of a niche area of discourse #perhaps? #which is in part bc those most impacted by it often communicate in different ways and/or don't have access to social media #i'm readying a rlly good (if dense) book rn about aba and capitalism called the autism industrial complex - highly rec #mail #anon

Some cross-over art for the Accursed and Harbinger Crack ship from @justpked Fell Star and Beyond the Spider Lilies. It's a redraw of a Parks and Recs meme, where my Harbinger Thuban is playfully teasing Aris for having such a big fanboy crush on her, even though she and Aris are married now and even raising two kids together.

Thuban: Aww darling...You had a crush on me...That's embarrassing.

Aris: We're married...

Thuban: Still...

#fell star #beyond-the-spider-lilies #parks and rec meme #Accursed × Harbinger crack ship #Harbinger Thuban #Aris #it's fun to think about these two #because lbr as much as Aris likes to tease people #Thuban has more experience in that area #she'd have such fun teasing Aris and getting the Stoic king flustered #even after they'd been together for years

It's the time of year to get really upset that Jane Austen never finished The Watsons.

It would have put the Jane Fairfax/Fanny Price Changeling Child plotline front-and-center, with a heroine who'd been adopted into high society only to be sent back to live with a lower-class family she no longer knows.

But she'd have had an Anne Elliot sister whose good-natured practicality keeps the family together even while she deals with the heartbreak of being separated from the man she once loved.

And a harpy of a sister whose machinations make everyone's lives miserable.

And a brother who's a surgeon (!) who has his own hopeless unrequited love story happening in the background.

And when their father died, the girls would have had to live with a higher-class brother and his disagreeable wife who would have found them a burden.

Meanwhile, our heroine is being pursued by a socially-awkward, proud lord who doesn't know how to discuss anything but hunting.

But she's really in love with a humble, kind curate who is devoted to caring for his widowed sister and her children.

But the curate is being romantically pursued by the lord's predatory mother.

And mixed up in all this is a charming, lively young man who uses his skills to grovel for position with his betters.

In short, we could have had Jane Fairfax and Anne Elliot as devoted sisters forced to live with John and Fanny Dashwood while their sister Lucy Steele causes problems, a Charles Musgrove version of Mr. Darcy pursues Jane, Anne gets a chance to be reunited with her Wentworth, and Jane falls in love with a Henry Tilney version of Edward Ferrars who's being pursued by Lady Susan, while Wickham is doing his best to be Mr. Collins. Plus a romance plot for a brother! We could have had a book with the family complexities and darker issues of Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park and the light, bright and sparkling humor of Pride and Prejudice.

But we don't, because she never finished it, and I'm so upset.

#the watsons #jane austen #it's a very october story so it comes to mind a lot #i've read one version that did decent things with it #(i was shocked to remember that penelope doesn't show up in austen's fragment because she's so vivid in the continuation) #but it still feels very different and much less layered than austen would have made it #i don't think it used all of her planned plot #and it skipped over almost everything but the central romance #and there's another one that i stopped reading halfway through because the author wrenched it off the austen rails #to have the curate give a long speech about how the lord's mother is actually a victim and we should pity her #and it felt so unlike what austen would have done that i've never brought myself to read further #this is prob the one austen story i'd be tempted to try my hand at if i had any skill whatsoever in that area #i would really want to try to imaginary book rec this thing into something that follows austen's style of storytelling #but i'm aware my view of austen is warped by my own preferences and i doubt i'd get any closer to the real thing than any other authors #so i just have to yearn for the imaginary version that never was

this might be a very austrian thing for me to say but uh. not pran nearly dying on a strip of path that actually looks fairly flat

#dgmw i hate hiking and my stamina is terrible #but yeah that area right here just looks like a sonntagsspaziergang (sunday walk) to me dfjkgjkdf #like!! these are the strips on a hike that i'm actually looking forward to!!! when i'm being dragged up a mountain!!! #those are the opposite of the Death Zones™ #our skyy 2 #os2: aofverse ep1 #adrm #atots x bbs #os2: aofverse #airenyah plappert #suddenly having a flashback to that one time a few weeks ago when i was videochatting with my thai friend #and we were talking about the topic of hiking in austria bc he wants to travel to europe next year #and i told him i'd ask my hiking loving friends for recommendations where to hike in austria #and at the end my thai friend awkwardly went #''uhhh.. just so we're on the same page.... not AUSTRIAN hiking yeah? alright?'' #''nothing too challenging. please?'' #it amused me very much #and i was like yeah obviously i would have asked my friends for hiking recs that even i could easily do without dying #BUT UH. IF THE ABOVE ALREADY KILLS A THAI MAN THAN MAYBE I NEED TO RECONSIDER THIS CRITERIA AHAHAHAH

little weird joining the bakudeku subreddit and then it just being completely vacant of any activity going on and then I look and see IzuOcha sub with more activity (not meant to be taken as a negative tbc, glad they're having fun over there it just sucks lmao) like what the fuck happened???? Did everybody over there fucking die or something?????💀💀😭😭😭😭

#bkdk #bakudeku #seriously tho it's really fucking weird that every bkdk or dkbk zine event has to be announced here #but can't be announced in the sub because there's just no one there #you would think a forum a good place to share fic recs #ship playlists and doujins but no #but no #hell even theories??? metas???? #nothing #im guessing brigading from antis maybe played a role but there's just zero activity over there #it feels really weird now being subbed #like i would love to make posts but if there's no activity then what's the point??? #it just really sucks to be separated by servers on discord #instead of having one area to congregate to together to gush about bkdk as a whole #because I see a lot of people who pop in these tags about how they want to talk about bkdk with someone #or sharing how excited they were to find a discord server to hop onto for bkdk content #and it's like damn bro we already have that #been had it #but don't nobody fucking use it #and I get that moderation is a thing and without mods the subreddit is just fucked but still... #just ya know...there's a bkdk forum y'all

[scarlethoodi]

Dystopian/fantasy series

that actually utilize its modern setting by expanding on recording events

but more importantly the media manipulation

of what is believed by the characters/population in story

is my new favorite genre. Please give me more.

And yes I know The Hunger Games did it “first”

#booklr #book recs #iron widow #the sunbearer trials #inject it into my veins #I’m currently reading Iron Widow and having so much fun #like sure there’s monsters attacking the area #but gotta have that sweet sweet propaganda #finding out in the Sidekick Squad series the whole hero/villain system was fake #set up by the government #and only rich people had water #Sunbearer Trials glorification of the Golds #like they had trading cards #we all remember the Hunger Games

the only ds games i own are style savvy and super Mario bros so I rlly want some recommendations on more fun games plz (i have the 3ds) not a switch =^.^=

ahhh okay 1000% Magician's Quest!! all the room-decorating and clothes of animal crossing but you also get to learn spells and solve mysteries and learn the lore behind the NPCs and have cutesy schoolyard crushes on your classmates (many kinds of creatures and...people dressed as objects?) AND YOU GET TO RIDE A BROOM and theres a lot of different models of broom including a vacuum cleaner

otherwise i would say maybe like Imagine Makeup Artist, also has what looks like a lot of clothes options + a dating sim aspect, for something more fashion-focused ~

The Sims 2 DS has a fun storyline (not that my noob ass ever finished it) while retaining the easygoing and wacky sims-style :3

and i almost altogether forgot Harvest Moon, which defined my childhood....take a good long browse of the many ds titles, ive played most and like them all though i will say the island one is tricky to progress in (ive heard sunshine islands is easier but my child self ended up with the former version, island of happiness..) OG harvest moon DS/DS cute offers the most in terms of easter eggs and has some very unique marriage candidates so i hold it in high regard...

and i love Rune Factory 4 for being able to tame all the monsters!! marriage in that one too!! held my attention recently for quite a while!

okok LASTLY Drawn to Life i also never made decent progress in and i cant remember it hardly at all but i remember thinking the village area was so cutely designed and the concept is unique and charming!!! Drawn to Life has been slept-on hardcore!!!!!!!

#you can also probably emulate a gameboy advance on your phone to play any of the gb games ive posted if you saw those ^_^ #no i will not rec story of seasons merely because when that came out i had started aging out of my HM obsession so its nothing to me </3 #if i tried to play it now id be so not the target demographic and way too critical #i loved to 'play' scribblenauts as a kid by which i mean stay on the main menu freeplay area and see how many words it recognized #not anon

nona the ninth john playlist!!!

(there’s a ntn quote in the playlist description, so if you’re avoiding spoilers beware and don’t open it in spotify)

#asks #thunder tunes #the locked tomb #nona the ninth #op #if you see your song rec on here i owe you a drink of your choice #if you’re ever in my area

i am not even remotely a medievalist, but i've been reading homoeroticism and chivalry by richard zeikowitz and let me tell you, if you're even remotely interested in homoerotic desire in medieval literature you should definitely pick it up!!! there are lots of interesting parallels with early modern literature for us shakespeare freaks!

#rambles #if you have any other book recs regarding this area please send them my way!!!! #looking at you medieval lit moots
