watching characters with the best intentions turn into the exact thing they were trying to destroy

#this is just the plot of my western > #story with no name #but theres something about these types of stories that scratches a deep itch in my brain #i have a penchant for these characters. i.e. #anakin skywalker #paul atreides #lawrence of arabia #🪐

the absolutely Vivid reality based chronological dream i had last night. man

#i got a job at like... an automobile warehouse or something? #we had to change a large trucks tires... #and i was sent to get some more from across the block or whatever #and its more complicated than that - there were conversations and interactions with people etc #and i was trying to find it but it was all like... in this corridor shopping mall? #the signs were western themed and listed items that you could get in that store #though i think it was all free? #anyway at some point it opened into a restaurant and i had a friend there who was carrying a plate for people who left prematurely #so i of course started shoveling it into my mouth - free food! but their manager caught us #and i had to be all 'hey i work around here im just lookin for tires and no one was gonna eat this anyway' #it was like... a rice/mango/cream thing...? strange because i dont like mangoes! #long story short i had to go back for the tires bc i wound up forgetting them. something about a dog.... #i was too late in getting the tires so i had to go sort rubber bolts instead :/ at least the warehouse was cool #absolutely unprompted #but it was very. linear. and it felt very real. like it was genuinely a place and a job that could exist #like i remember what the outside loading area looked like. the packed restaurant. the corridor. the warehouse. the lockers. the hallway #IF I HAD A BETTER MEMORY I STG I COULD MAP IT OUT #god i love my dreams. they're always plot based and im rarely myself <3

A Starstruck Odyssey season 2 but Siobhan doesn't make a new PC she just plays as Norman Takamori and her and Zac share a character sheet

#do i think they would even consider this? no absolutely not #but i DO think it would be funny so jot that down #aso is truly one of my favorites #its so episodic and fun i dont even care about the actual plot i just love the space western and being on the run #dimension 20 #d20 aso #a starstruck odyssey

This is probably just me not knowing how to utilise google correctly but WHY is it so hard to find Western novels about gay men that aren't romance novels

#vent post #not actually a vent lmao but thats the tag #like look #what i WANT to read is basically just; #gunsmoke. except the marshal is gay. nothing else is different #the rest of the story is normal #the focus is not the romance #and WHY is this SO HARD to find!!!! #like COME ON #yes this is user error i dont understand how to google things since they changed the algorithm to be all ads and whatever #but trying to add queer or mlm or whatever to the keyword searchs just brings up romance #and i will not object at all to romances that are a part of the plot #i just #i dont want to read straight romance #i would like to read about cowboys and gunmen and whatever Wild West things bc that is why i am here #and itd be nice if the romance was gay instead of het #ugh #anyway im gonna have to bother the librarians next time i go to the library bc if i have to write this myself i am going to #throw my laptop into the pond #if anyone has any queer and/or mlm western novels to rec lmk pls i need to read things or i will perish

[soldier-poet-king]

Tbh might fuck around and get back into anime bc I'm just. Have not had any interest in western tv shows for years and I need a distraction beyond my current ones

#my brain keeps being like....u should watch anime again #something about exaggerated tropes but also deeply emotional plots #theres more breadth to anime genres than there are to western cartoons #even if im a normie who just watches mostly shonen #im just. im. brain wants it #might even fuck around and get back into snk #even despite fhe controversy and whatever #i just. rlly miss Levi. #crunchyroll my beloved. I miss u.

Fennec fic is at 4.5k words now, and it’s probably not that great, but I’m having a blast writing it and that’s all that matters 🥰

#vampire!fennec owns my heart #trying to give a fic a plot for once but I'm failing #just thinking about fennec makes me flustered #what is a western au without vampires? #every vampire fic I write ends takes place in the american southwest #this will probably be the only one to see the light of day though #and more importantly... what is a plot? #radio static

[discodreambubble]

The Arrested Development fan in me was almost sold...until I saw it was only household...

#sims 4 #I was this....close to playing a scenario #Even though the plot is more succession than arrested development #I'm a arrested development person I have never seen Succession #Randomdisco #nonsims kind of #even though I could just make a family oh well #All I saw was “Family Fourtune” and a light went off in my head #And I created legacy heirs for a future western gameplay today

[skelkankaos]

thinking about Neil-swap. i would write a fic but idk if there’s even any overlap in Neil Hamburger fans and TYO fans that would read it but i can imagine in so so clearly in my head

#Neil (Hamburger) interrupts the plot to perform stand up and is then knocked out by a chair #he is so so disgusted by the house and the boys and is soooo rude about it #meanwhile Neil (Pye) is just having the worst time of his life on a stage #somewhere in the western united states #''guys don't boo me you're unbalancing my already fragile emotional state''

Oh I have another chapter of my beauty and the beast au I should... post it... huh

#It's so hard to gear up the motivation when even my niche manga poems get more interraction #And yet it's one of my favorite projects #But... effort #Tbh I'll probably publish it as it's own thing not part of the fandom when I'm done #Because it works both ways #ALL stories are fanfics tbh #Some actually fanfics and not AUs are just derrivative of the og source and make no sense out of context #This is my high horse and I will DIE on it #I've almost had books published that were basically me spite re-writing plots and characters to make them what I thought better #The biggest lie publish puts out there: that there's any true difference between 'original' and 'derivative' works #*publishing #All works are inspired in varying and various degrees by everything around you #I'll stop myself before I rant about how SHITTY the copyright laws are in the western side of the globe tho #WOW THIS GOT OFF TOPIC #Yadda yadda

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

not my brain trying desperately to think about planning my next oneshot instead of doing what I’m supposed to be doing which is reviewing the peloponnesian war to teach it tomorrow. 

#i need to make these slides more simplified bc if i barely understand the politics my students sure the fuck wont #anyways i might make a post thinking about my oneshot but then im gonna make myself work #me and my flop 10-20 kudos v*ltron oneshots are having so much fun #i havent had this much personal satisfaction for this easy of an effort level in years it is making me love writing fic again #not that i dont love my bigger stories like i think about sinite parvula every single day and i think about the vampire western every day to #o but those both involve a lot of moving parts and foreshadowing and more characters to characterize and more details of timing and setting #and research etc like those are HIGH effort and I LOVE THAT i just am in graduate school so most of my life is high effort #and my burnout burned through fanfic writing as well #but these one shots where i am not googling a single goddamn thing and im just writing based on vibes and a constant reminder that #it is okay to suck bc thise fanom is so dead either no one will read it or they will be grateful for new content #so if my dialogue is clunky or my plot is contrived who gives a shit bc I am having fun and feeling emotions

[tedthetalk]

Yk one thing I do miss about anime/eastern fandom is how much gender fuckery is baseline acceptable in fan content. I just saw a fanfic give todoroki she/her pronouns with no pre warning at all it was beautiful

#you don’t really see that in western fandom in my experience & tbh it’s kinda tiring #it has to be specified a trans au yk I can’t just like give a dude a vag without it being plot relevant #or at least deserving of a disclaimer #constellations

2022 reads // twitter thread

If You Could See The Sun 

When she discovers she can go invisible, a girl at an international boarding school in China uses an anonymous app to help her classmates find secrets and information so she can pay the school fees her scholarship doesn’t cover

academic stress, academic rivals romance

#If You Could See The Sun #aroaessidhe 2022 reads #read in december; held for strike #tbh I from the title and cover I was expecting like. something that’s deep and complex into mental health and magical realism but actually t #this is pretty lighthearted ……. #or I guess like. average ya contemporary tone #which is not really a criticism of the book i guess I just wasn’t That invested based on my expectations! #I feel like some stuff just happened the way it did because of Plot and it didn’t really need to.. #would recommend if you think you like this sort of thing tho! #definitely interesting to have YA set at boarding schools in non western countries

[scorchedhearth]

will you be writing anything with that thing you talked about with dbreadd that one time? the one about jaykyle western au? jason dying and kyle finding his grave? i love it, it sounds so angsty

i actually have that idea written down somewhere to not forget but i haven’t worked on it, not sure if i will yet. but im glad you’re enjoying the angsty ideas because now that i’ve flushed out the cute ideas for this ship, i’ll be diving head first into the terrible ones

#maybe as a bonus once im done with the actual fic? idk the western au is far from being done so im not projecting too much as of now #im not talking about it much cause i posted everything i could that was spoiler-free #now it's just me pulling my hair out as i try to make the plot work and make it sound accurate both historically and with canon #asks #anon #jk western au

[mushroom-winners-proof]

it seems there's two kinds of KH fans. those who care about khux and those who don't. i think you can tell a lot about someone's taste based on where they fall on that category.

it's funny how there's almost never an in between with it too. you're either clinically obsessed with the game or you can't give less of a shit if you tried. hilarious stuff

yk what you're right i cant even tell you you're wrong

#snap chats #im SORRYYY #like i know it exists i watched all of it #i was invested in it but like.. now im over it #it was just like watching a movie for me like i was into it while i was watching it but now its over and im like #'well that was fun now we move on :)' #except i aint like that with my westerns.. i still thinka em... #but i think what creates this divide is people who got to play the game vs people who didnt #id understand how people who actually played the game and waited for the episodes to come out got to become more attached to the plot
