In honor of the third issue releasing tomorrow, I present to you the first half of the first issue of: NOBODY’S PRINCESS

As a young lady of noble birth, Lady Theodosia Averelle (Theo to her friends) has always known what was expected of her: behave appropriately, learn to manage a household, and marry well.

But when confronted with the reality of an arranged marriage to a prince she’d never met and a future ruling a foreign kingdom, Theo realizes one very important piece of information about herself...

She doesn’t want to be a princess.

With that in mind, Theo does what any reasonable young lady would do in her position—she fakes her own kidnapping and demands her dowry as the ransom so that she can run away and live a life of adventure. Too bad her fairy tale prince isn’t going to give up on "rescuing" her that easily. Good thing Theo makes a good outlaw.

I have on and off feelings with a Girl

Her Hair and her eyes were Black as the Abyss and I was the Fool that wandered in

I can stare and stare for hours but I can never truly be with her.

The Way she smiles, brightens me

The Way she Shouts, Darkens me

It was Switch, a Button, but all things needed Power and sadly I wasn't one for that.

I long, long for a day I can accept her and for her to accept me but when will that come?

She rejects me yet I Longed for her

I know she will be happier with someone else, someone that had power for her Switch to light a spark that will never go out.

She said I'll be a Great Boyfriend but does she not realize my eyes were for her and her only....

I Wish, I Pray, I hoped for her but that will never come...

I said, "Thine eyes shant look into her Abyss" but it's a Lie, Illusion and the Heartbreaking truth

I long and long for that day to come but like a Switch, I turn on and off

#poems? #longing #single issues #single problems #like a Light switch #im heartbroken #ny heart aches

#my little pony #mlp g3 #wish-I-may #wish-I-might #ok so. I'm gonna ramble for a sec #normally when I post on valentine's day I complain in the tags about being single. but I won't this year! #I've recently realized I'm definitely somewhere on the aromantic spectrum. and that I'm perfectly content without a partner #in the past I've described myself as 'emotionally unavailable' or having 'commitment issues' but neither of those things were ever true #I'm a very loving and loyal person! #I've always been extremely affectionate with friends and family but unable to have the same level of love for potential partners #unsure if I'm just demisexual/demiromantic or actually aroace but I'm definitely not the default settings type of gay lol #I'm a big fan of romance and sex in fiction! but irl? 😅😬 idk about that fam! idk! #hypothetically I would like to have a gf one day and maybe fall in love but now I understand why that may not happen #or atleast is gonna take a while. and that's fine :) #tldr; if your top song on spotify last year was Cupid by Fifty Fifty it's time to do some soul searching lol #happy valentine's day!! 💕

Once again saw someone yell on here about how "nobody is going to report this aaah the media is evil", closed this app and not even a minute later saw a report with that exact content on a major news platform. Ngl this phrasing is rapidly being added to the list of things i won't reblog on principle.

#Its always an argument as to why the post is more believable or more righteous #And its just a manipulation tactic whether deliberate or not #And I'm not doing that yall #Like either give me solid evidence its being hidden or discuss whatever issue you have in an actual factual manner #None of this reactionary bullshit #Like the amount of 'stories the news outlets aren't covering' where i found an article literally on the front page of the apo #Or with like a single basic search on their app if its a few days old #Like at this point you shouldn't be allowed to add this to your post unless you have googled the topic at least once #We can criticise HOW things are covered and when and by who etc but stop lying to make your point more dramatic

"You've been hurting so much, and for so long… Please, let me soothe your pain."

-

There was a scenario I had imagined in which Mario would suffer emotional trauma and keep it to himself to the point of becoming depressed, growing more distant and avoiding others as a result. He would so desperately want for his loved ones to be at peace that he would rather endure unbearable misery in silence than speak on it; not knowing just how tired he really is and how badly he needs to be comforted.

So when Peach would finally -and ever so gently- confront him on the matter, his walls would crumble almost immediately, and he would break down in front of her. Anguish and exhaustion slowly giving way to healing. ❤️‍🩹

#This kept coming back to my mind when I was working on both the confession tangent and the body swap one 🥺 #And looking at it... I figured it could indeed technically work for a variety of stories #The context might change but the issue remains 😢 #Mario has a lot of trouble opening up about what upsets him #Especially to both his brother and the princess #Who just so happen to be the two people who care about him the most #So the poor man was essentially bound to experience this struggle 😔 #But- there's beauty in sorrow. And love in suffering 🤲💖 #I have often contemplated drawing a sequence that would showcase this moment #but ultimately felt that it was more impactful as a single image 🌅 #It also deeply resonates with me for many reasons #This was a personal one for me 💙 #Mario #Princess Peach #Mario x Peach #Mareach #hurt/comfort #Super Mario Bros #Fanart

Personal Rant Ahead!!

What if I already dated my soul mate but because of his own issues with his family he turned into a worse person that wasn’t right for me and now we are both doomed to wander the Earth alone or settle for someone who will never really complete us?

What if this is the Alt universe where things went wrong and I don’t end up with my soul mate because we allowed secondary forces to turn us against each other?

OR - what if I’m just idealizing that one relationship where I actually felt that my boyfriend understood me and I could be 100% authentic with him until we both started to grow up more and turned into very different people.

i unironically block and avoid anyone who interacts with callout posts btw. unless the post contains information about genuine real harm to real people in unequivocal terms, with solid proof and context that cannot be chalked up to misrepresented friendship drama, i go scorched earth on the notes. the amount of potential harassment and harm they can and HAVE caused in the past, especially to minority groups, trans women in particular, is beyond anything that can ever justify their existence. they're a petty, childish—frequently wrong!—thoughtless and cruel way to "spread awareness". grow up.

#so yeah. 99.9% of the time if someone finds out i randomly blocked them it's because of this #every. single. time. i was ever pushed to the point of publically and openly calling out someone's behavior i ended up regretting it #even as i remained 100% in the right. because despite the other person's actions being wrong i found context to their behavior #either because they were hurt before or they had been stalked or they were much younger than i had anticipated #and the issue could've been resolved a hundred times better if we had just dealt with it in private. eye to eye. without making a spectacle #and without causing unnecessary harm and stress to each other

At one point a friend gave me a Nvidia Shield which is like an Xbox controller with a screen and it can play emulators and stuff. I got so excited, there were so many games I hadn’t played on N64 that I really wanted to try!

So I set it up and got Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Pokémon Snap, Kirby. Then I tried to play them. Zelda seemed to play at first but then a single pixel would snag and drag across the screen one by one until it was just an abstract terrifying mess. I tried other ROMs, other emulators. No luck.

Oh well, I thought. I’ll try Banjo Kazooie.

That one played with what I can only describe as snaps where everything would judder and leap around, dumping me amidst enemies and cutting off cut scenes. It wasn’t playable.

I tried the hardest to get Pokémon Snap to work.

At first I couldn’t move the camera, I could only snap pictures of what was in view. After laborious troubleshooting I got the camera to move, but all my pictures came out black and wouldn’t let me progress. I could do an infinite loop of the tutorial level but no farther.

But Kirby and the Crystal Shard worked.

After all the others it behaved extraordinarily well. There was only one tiny glitch that was so mild it didn’t affect gameplay. It did change the tone of the game slightly, I must admit. Because it was a bit jarring when the pink blob just opened in inescapable void to suck down any in his path.

The glitch: Kirby didn’t have a face.

4. What’s the worst part of fanon? 😈

Question from here

That'd be the implicit racism thanks for asking!

A non snappy response, aka to explain what I mean by that:

A lot of fanon tropes implicitly reinforce a very white, America-centric POV, and in a universe like the GFFA which lies somewhere between heavily Asian-inspired and gloriously multicultural, that really rubs me the wrong way. (To clarify upfront: it is not racist or whatever to enjoy these tropes or to write them, but it worries me when people don't even seem to realise it)

An obvious, innocuous-seeming example is the tendency to use 'Ben' instead of Obi-Wan's actual name in AUs — especially when others' names (Anakin, Mace, Cody, etc) aren't changed as well. The biggest difference between those names and Obi-Wan's is that Obi-Wan's is obviously Asian inspired, and theirs aren't. It's not something I expect most people even think about! But it always leaves a sinking feeling in my chest.

(Obviously if, like in canon, Obi-Wan is using Ben as a pseudonym while in hiding that's a very different kettle of fish.)

A larger example is how incredibly common it is to cast the Jedi as space-Christians — some common examples being focus on tenets (the Jedi Code, which is a meditation mantra, not a rulebook), the pervasive Catholic Guilt which is very explicitly Christian in nature, the emphasis on worship as ritual rather than a state to work towards, the generalised "all organised religion must be Bad" sentiments that feel very specifically ex-Christian in nature.

Thinking about one's own religion and expressing thoughts through fiction/art isn't an issue in and of itself.

The thing is, the Jedi are explicitly based on Asian Buddhists. Not just in set dressing, but from the ground up, from their beliefs and the way they act, to their clothing to the structure of their temple — to strip that away is to remove what makes the Jedi the Jedi. It's to remove the Asian-ness and replace it with something predominantly white. It implies that Asian influence shouldn't or can't exist in the GFFA, or that there's something inferior or wrong about Buddhism that needs to be "fixed".

Again this isn't something where I think that fan authors are sitting there going "muhahaha I'm going to be RACIST today", I know that's not what's happening. But when so much Jedi-centric content being produced minimises the Asian influence and pushes a western one, it starts to say "there's something wrong with this group, we're trying to erase it because there shouldn't be representation at all" — an issue of scale, at its core.

(Then ofc there's all the "the Jedi steal babies" and "the Jedi ban emotions" and "the Jedi need to be destroyed" which, entirely separate from the above, if you replace 'Jedi' with 'Buddhists' I'm kind of starting to wonder why you hate Asian people/Asian religions, you know?)

I won't even get into the fanon surrounding the clones, because that'd require me to talk about KT far more than I'd like to on any day, but especially today 🤣

#dae asks #star wars #jedi order #racism #as always a single person doing x is not the issue #it's the fandom as a whole doing the thing that can make it more :/ #I don't think people can't or shouldn't write what they like #I just ask that they think about it first! I sure do every time I start a new fic

Gale: *simply explains something that he has way more experience and knowledge about than the player character*

Some players who seem to have self-worth and insecurities issues and take offense at the very idea that someone else might be more knowledgeable or experienced in a subject than them: He talks so much and he's so condescending!

#gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #gale #bg3 #my posts #at least realize why you're reacting like that and stop putting your hate takes in the character tag #like 30% of the gale hate I've seen is literally just that #people feeling inferior to him and reacting with anger #and making him to be condescending when he's literally not except for 1 single occasion which is conditional #and even then it's because he himself is reacting due to his own self-worth issues #but good job on missing the point #i love gale/sorcerer but the fandom's popular take on it is just ughhhhh

Oops.

While learning to control his powers under the guidance of Clockwork, Danny accidentally curses his own bloodline with the Curse of Sentient Food several centuries in the past. Originally, a witch was supposed to curse his family. Oops. Well, the Fentons were always adapting, and technically, either way, he'd end up battling dino nuggets at three am in his underwear, no matter who the curse came from. So he shrugged and continued on.

Unfortunately, this also means that out of nowhere, the timeline shifted, and some of his very distant relatives are now battling their food into submission at every meal because Danny is ultimately way more powerful than some mortal witch from the 1600s. His version of the curse reached literally everyone he could ever be related to for the last few centuries. Even if they were adopted into the family!

So, returning to the present time after training, Danny is a little startled to see some news clips of people's dinners coming to life and beginning revolutions. Wow, John Fentonightingale really got around, didn't he? He felt a little uncomfortable that now all these random people had to deal with their share of Fenton luck, but from some of the interviews, everyone seemed to be handling it pretty well!

Especially his so-distant-they're-on-another-tree cousins, the Kents, who contacted his family directly, asking how best to prepare a zombie turkey. Their son was coming for Thanksgiving with his new wife and some coworkers, and they just refused to make the guests fight for their lives on a holiday!

They invited the Fentons to join them, of course.

#dpxdc #pondhead blurbs #sometimes i wonder where the fuck this stuff comes from #which snail is responsible for this #but if it wasn't clear danny curses his bloodline and fucks it up because of course he does #so literally every single relative he's ever had is now suffering directly from fenton luck and sentient food fights #ma and pa kent are the only ones who reach out for advice #how did they figure out the fentons were the source? like they'd tell you those are family secrets you nosey bitch #so now the fentons are invited to spend the holidays with their distant cousins in Kansas #and meet their adopted son clark! who was just married! :D #side note the timeline changed right as the cake was cut at clark's reception so that was interesting #they had to pay for so much dry cleaning #clark's coworkers (fellow jl members) are a little worried about the sentient food but so far it's not really a big issue? #they can definitely take time off for the holidays to relax! #and they totally won't get dragged on any interdimensional adventures with a dead teenage godling as their guide! #feel free to continue #idk how many kids bruce has when clark marries lois but feel free to just throw some in #like JL members and their kids #just toss them in and watch the kids go feral #fighting your food is enrichment <3
