Listening to

A biracial lesbian couple? In my Ghostforce? It's more likely than you think.

In defence of jumping on the bandwagon

Specifically the bandwagon of enthusiastic discussion. Here’s the thing - if you are having an awesome, joyous, meaningful discussion about a story or show that that’s fine but not a masterpiece, and I already like that thing a bit, I will jump into that discussion with excitement to rival anyone. Even if the story’s not all that. If you are wringing goodness, truth, and beauty from it, if you have tracked down the perfect lens for it - I will join you in loving it, assuming I already felt good will towards it.

To me, it’s like when my students make amazing philosophical breakthroughs by having a conversation about a novel that’s serviceable, but won’t last. (Many of those Bethlehem Books historical fiction reprints, for example.) I go bananas for the awesomeness they found in those books in spite of themselves. I will never call The Hidden Treasure of Glaston a masterpiece, but I will love it forever because it said more than it dreamed to my kids.

I LIKE to be part of a good conversation, I like to be part of unchecked enthusiasm. It seems to me these are good. They are not replacements for masterpieces - and we should be making room for those too! But the thing is, there are worse reasons to love something than the fact it gave you an opportunity to rejoice with someone else.

It’s different if your reasons are egotism or insecurity or slavery to trends - at least I think so.

#I am such a hipster by nature and get embarrassed when I like something popular #to be perfectly honest #but philosophically? #I think it’s great when everyone falls in love with a story st the same time #because a very unique avenue of living others opens up. #why am I ranting about this? dunno. I am tired. with any luck it’s symptomatic of me leaning toward the golden mean #at worst I have a fluffy sleep deprived brain and will blushingly delete later

Ngl, I think it’s weird how chummy Kon and Steph are in the preview panels of Tim’s upcoming special. 

I know, I know, it’s a new universe, multiple reboots removed from the post Crisis / pre Flashpoint universe I typically read. But it is odd seeing how friendly Young Justice has been with Steph since 2019, when pre-Nu52, most of them either wouldn’t have a clue who she is, or if they did know her, canonically did not like her… and vice versa. Steph and Young Justice were not friendly, for several reasons:

The Greta incident, wherein Greta attacked Steph in a bout of jealousy and resentment

Greta snubbed Steph’s peace offering during the Zandia thing

The second Greta incident

Steph makes no mention of Tim’s closest friends despite them being a huge part of his life, and expresses zero interest in meeting them

The fact that there are a lot of girls on the team and Steph gets pissy and jealous over every girl Tim interacts with

Superboy is pissed when he finds out she replaced Tim as Robin, and is a jerk to Steph about it

Wonder Girl knows how badly Steph hurt Tim when she “died,” and dislikes Steph for swanning back in acting like nothing happened

Steph betrayed Tim, sabotaged his investigation, hired assassins to attack him, and in doing so not only got people hurt/killed but greatly damaged Tim’s trust — not an interaction with YJ, but plenty of reason for them to despise her

Seriously, every single one on one interaction between Steph and the members of Young Justice pre reboot was negative. Betraying Tim would do nothing to endear her to them (in fact, may even elevate from cool distance or vague dislike to actual animosity). The rest of them probably don’t even know who she is (I don’t think she’s ever exchanged a single word with Bart).

This is strictly from a pre-Nu52 standpoint — like I said, we’re currently several reboots away from this. But it is why I think Steph being tight with Kon and the rest of YJ is weird, especially now that they have a hodgepodge of memories to draw from.

Schrodinger’s canon, and all that

Happy STS! We all know about the tropes, elements, and themes we love (and in some cases, use over and over again) in our WIPs! In either Hidden Depths or Shattered Dreams, which trope, theme, or element did you choose NOT to include, and why? Was it a deliberate choice or did it just happen that way?

Happy STS!

Thanks for the ask, Claire!

This is a little complicated for me to answer for both works :')

For Shattered Dreams, I had no concept of elements or themes (really, i still don't 😅, kate has promised to tell me what they are when she betas for me lol), and wasn't familiar with tropes at all. I really just wanted this one particular scene, and made up an entire world and plot to get to it. I only came up with tropes after the fact for a marketing exercise lol

So, aside from resisting the impulse to add another noncon scene at the end of the book, I added everything I thought fit the story and then some :)

For Hidden Depths, I was writing entirely for the specific tropes and themes put out for Whumptober 2022. There weren't any I wish I could do this instead of that moments, it was here's these 31 days of prompts, how can I group them together in order to tell a half-way decent story. I didn't have time to do anything else XD

Later, I wished I could've picked on Carr a little more, so I wrote the AU for that :D (does that count? an after the fact thing? I guess it just happened that way if so; it certainly wasn't deliberate)

#starlit asks #clairelsonao3 #to be perfectly honest #the AU was started as a revenge piece for elli's au and was supposed to end with Carr's death XD #well i guess it did in one version 😂 #we call it the au of the au #i almost died for that one 🤭 #sts ask

If your partner wears a mask in public and you don't, you're telling them in no uncertain terms that you don't give a shit if they live or die.

I'm going to miss him. I really am. Thank you technoblade, for everything you've done for us. Thank you for giving us a space to be weird and fun and teaching us how to not care what others think. Thank you for teaching us how to put our all into something, how to show our passion in ways we could have never imagined before. Just... thank you. Thank you so much.

#tw death #I know its been nearly a week and a half since the news dropped #but i needed time to process everything #to be perfectly honest #i was kind of in shock the first few days #and then after that i ended up pushing it to the back of my mind #i tried to ignore it #but now... #i dont know #i feel at peace? #i think? #i dont know how else to describe it #but i spent the day watching old videos and i finally watched wilburs memorial vod #and just remembering him and appreciating him for all hes done for us #i think it helped #Technoblade #rest in peace techno #i'm never going to forget all youve done #fire draws

I'm not entirely proud of using the "I'm not going to sugarcoat it" class but Chaosweaver is too squishy and Timekiller couldn't keep up both the shielding and damage

#dragonfable #I still wonder if you could use Doomknight's mana drain attack #To prevent Jaania's FF7 attack #Listen #all that attack needed was to show 7 more planets #and last 7 more minutes and it'd basically be Jaania's version of supernova #To be perfectly honest #I'm not sure how I feel about the fight mechanics #Maybe because I kept doing the 'don't hurt me I'm fragile' #Prompt one turn too early and ran out of options other than just tank the empowered attack

niku!! i am just dropping by to deliver some cookies and milk (non-dairy, if you prefer!!) 🍪🥛 for the weekend !! and i am curious !! what is your love language (both/either giving/receiving) ?? and would you and your fave get along when it comes to it 🥺

HAHAHA SEL PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR HAVING THIS SIT I MY INBOX FOR A WEEK. it's been busy haha...

actually, on the topic of non-dairy milk while i love slurping down regular milk. i actually really love oat milk... the extra creamy kind... for the longest time it felt like there was only almond milk and soy milk and later cashew milk as dairy alternatives and!! oat milk!! my love!!!

uh. for. giving. i'd say it's a split between like... acts of service and gift giving? i like doing both. making... food... giving... food. it's all food related. food is love to me!!! and sharing food! actually i have a funny story; on sunday i worked a really long shift and bf had a bad time at work so when i got off i bought me a bottle of my favorite soda and a bottle of his favorite soda. then i went to pick him up from work and he had a bag from the convenience store next to his work and i asked what was in it and he had bought a bottle of his second favorite soda (because they were out of his favorite) and a bottle of my favorite soda. lmaoo.

as for uh. me and. my. fave. yeah. that. guy. i think we'd get along. coughs very loudly. yeah. i think so LMAO.

#sel tag #to be perfectly honest #despite my clear and obvious hatred for gojo #i unironically think we would get along #our combined chaotic energies and untamed sweet tooths would be really bad

French and Spanish character from a late 16th/early 17th century Spanish perspective (the guy lived in France for a few years, though, as he was exiled from Spain, lol)

dude imagine if later it turned out cartman DID have a tic disorder. would anyone believe him

#to be perfectly honest #i have tics and i want to project them onto one of the boys but im stuck between kyle and cartman

Got myself an early birthday present. ^-^

The artwork within is both inspiring and imitating. XD

And it's written in Azrael's perspective, which is so cool yet also hurts my heart. :')

Oops... I accidentally made another AU by playing around with fashion wars...

Trahearne, Champion of Mordremoth

In which Trahearne "succumbs" to Mordremoth and takes the mantle of Champion, thus keeping enough of his free will to gain the Commander some time for them to slay the dragon.

Alright, now I’mma be reasonable and I will not make a third Anwen in the grand “I would choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in every version of reality” scheme of things. I. Will. Not. And...

Holy crab she’d be so pretty in that medium armour!! 😳😭

Is it okay if people who like the joker/batjokes follow you/interact with you as long as we don’t reblog stuff you reblog with tags that pertain to joker/batjokes? Totally fine if u don’t allow it whatsoever it’s just unclear to me where you stand and I don’t want to intrude on your boundaries or make you uncomfortable in anyway

Thank you for being so respectful! It's 100% okay to follow me and like something that I do not like. And it’s totally okay to tag the hell out of that post as long as you’re checking the OP’s tags.

I try not to talk about or rant about anything that I really really hate because I don't wanna shit on other people's preferences. We're all here to have a good time, and if you're okay with following my blog even though I occasionally use the Anti Joker tag, that's 100% okay with me! <3

Everyone is welcome to follow me no matter what their preferences. Just know that I do not like The Joker. <3

(Note: I also use the Anti Supermartian tag for YJTV so this applies to that as well. I use these tags to say I want the ship/character to die in canon not because I have anything against the people who are Pro Supermartian and Pro Joker, though now I realize how that comes across. Antis/purity culture fucking sucks. I will switch over to 'Death to Joker' and 'Supermartian Divorce' tags because I think those communicate my intention better.)

#to be perfectly honest #when it comes to The Joker--I like the concept of him being dead because of all the shit he did #I also like the concept of him being obsessed with Batman to the point of calling it love but the Batman hates his guts so its one-sided #Lego Batjokes is 100% okay with me but that's because they're different characters in a completely different universe and it works #but it's fiction and the only thing i get super upset by and rage about is bad writing #oh and i hate arguments over whether or not a fictional ship is morally correct #NOTPs is a term that should be used more often honestly #BatJokes technically isn't a NOTP for me tbh but it's not an OTP #I like Batman being single or he retires after finding someone to marry #and i may have been inspired by the Mask of the Phantasm movie #anyway I hope this answers the question! #thanks for the ask! <3 #asks #anon #fuck off antis #supermartian divorce #Justice for Jason
