Tress scratched the best itch for me, I’ve been craving a good fairy tale and it was just perfect. I kept slipping so hard into the fairy tale aspects that I kept getting caught by surprise whenever a cosmere thing stopped beating around the bush and revealed itself, actually. While I’m sure that wasn’t fully the intention, it was a really fun way to read some brandermansanderman coming fresh off of sunlit man and how intensely locked in I was with the Connections. Genuinely Tress is such a fun little romp. I love girls who sail in fucked up seas and this is a genre I want more of please thank you.

#it was so much fun I did have my suspicions about a few things because of fairy tale tropes but I didn’t get all of them! #I was taken by surprise by many things! #not...not the glowing woman being elantrian I did get that one especially with the floor map #I wonder if that changes actually #like does her cockship make aon-Connecting maps of the places she goes to so she can fuck around with locals? #what’s with space travel resulting in callus dicks manipulating the local planetary populations? #is this related to one of the many groups fucking about with the cosmere or is it just the nature of the people funding these excursions? #will zellion ever have sex? #all these questions and more to be added next year in bransandermanderson strikes again part five of ten alphabet assemble #I want to see the other seas now though ): the worlds are so cool that I’m never quite ready to say goodbye #I want to linger between the pages and sift the words between my fingers like sun-warmed sand #it feels too soon to say goodbye #cosmere #tress of the emerald sea #tress of the emerald sea spoilers

Everyone's talking about Wish right now.... The only thing I can say about WISH.......let's hope it's like a Frozen 1 type thing. Where the trailers were ABSOLUTE ASS but then the film turned out really good. TT0TT

I mean.....there is a difference between the two. While the west got weird trailers that didn't matter for Frozen (Olaf vs Sven carrot thing), JPN and other countries got trailers that actually showcased the plot and drama in an interesting way.... And Wish.....well...... Wish at least gives us a villain and a part of an argument.....and I can't see that argument leading anywhere.....great tbh. So maybe not the best comparisons but let's hope for the Frozen 1 vibe!

Anyway I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far, but I'm hoping its better than the ass disaster Frozen 2 and Ralph 2 were. ;w;

#silly talks #disney #WISH #frozen #as frozen's first fan and the one that didn't care the trailers were ass......my heart goes out to Wish fans rn kldjsafkljsaf #'silly that's pretty bold of you to consider yourself THE FIRST frozen fan-" i drove that damn bandwagon y'all just jumped on later #no really around 2009-2010 i remember looking at the Snow Queen disney page wikipedia page to see if it finally got taken off of hiatus she #*off the hiatus shelf #i remember the damn day the announced Dinsey would take a crack a the Snow Queen adaptation again #then when they announced Kristen Bell for a character (super estatic cause i wanted to hear her singing even more after watching Veronica m #*after watching veronica mars) #The Snow Queen has been a fav fairy tale of mine since i was a baby so yeah I was excited to say the least TT0TT #and yeah 5 seconds into the movie (the day it released mind you! yes I was there I remember how dead the theater was) i was like 'I love it #I ended the movie and wanted to go back in too i loved it that much #safe to say I was BLOWN AWAY by how much OTHERS loved it esp after everyone was bitching abt it leading up to that film TT0TT #anyway love frozen 1 it's my fav #hate frozen 2 it's hot garbage I never felt more lied to by trailers than this movie holy shit #i'm like 8 rants away from writing a complete dissertation on how Frozen 2 completely misunderstood Frozen 1 in it's entirety #(note: I dont think F1 is perfect nor do I think it's a masterpiece I just happen to love it a lot uwu) #anyway I hope wish has a similar thing (sleeper hit release part....not a shitty sequel part)

Prompt: fairy-tale heroine of your choice wakes up with amnesia. (Maybe her husband has to explain how they got married?)

Purity of Mind

Dora looked so innocent, asleep on her bed. The fresh white bandages binding her crown looked more like a mark of holiness than disaster. The doctor claimed she'd fallen from a balcony and hit her head upon a stair rail. Adam thought it seemed too suspicious an accident. A disaster on the one day he'd left the house? His sure-footed little wife wouldn't have stumbled like that--not unless she were nearly out of her wits. Perhaps fleeing from some great terror.

"She'll wake soon," the doctor assured him. "Her body's healed enough, but with a head injury like that, there's no telling what state her brain will be in."

The state itself, Adam thought, would be telling enough.

As if roused by the doctor's words, Dora's eyelids fluttered. She sat up, pale and trembling. Her gaze landed upon Adam, and she started to scream.

"Who are you?" she shrieked, gathering the bedclothes to cover herself. "What are you doing in my room?"

Adam had steeled himself for the usual accusations, but this left him off-balance.

Finally, he managed to say, "Dora, it's just me. Adam. Your husband."

"I have no husband!"

"We wed six months ago."

"Liar!" she shrieked. "I'd never marry a man with such an awful beard!"

Adam stroked his blue-black whiskers, neatly trimmed for his homecoming. A deep chuckle rumbled in his throat; after months of her tiptoeing around him, her frankness was amusing. "I paid your parents richly for the privilege."

Dora paused at that. The mercenary child of mercenary parents--the tale would ring true, no matter her objections to his facial hair. Yet the bewilderment didn't fade from her face. "I've never seen this house before."

"You've been mistress here six months."

"I don't believe you."

"Whether you believe me or not, it's true. You fell from a staircase and hit your head."

Her eyes were fire. "I'll bet you pushed me!"

"I was away from home. I only just returned." He would never have opted for such an impersonal death. It was much more satisfying to feel the life draining away beneath his fingers.

The thought brought him back to reality. No need to wrestle with her delusions; only one truth mattered.

"Dora," Adam asked. "Where are the keys?"

"What keys?"

"I left the keys of the house in your keeping. I'll need them returned."

"I never had any keys!"

Adam looked to the doctor, who said, "We've found no keys on her person."

Missing? Impossible. Adam stormed from the room and set the servants searching for the keys. Nothing in her wardrobe. Nothing in the rooms. Nothing in the gardens.

The door on the third floor was locked, with no signs of entry.

Adam returned to the sickroom as the sun was setting. Dora sat quietly on her bed, having been calmly convinced of her new reality, completely unaware of the turmoil she'd thrown his life into.

He could have torn her limb from limb right there, but he had no proof yet she was deserving of it. For the moment, his strategy was gentleness.

He sat on the bed beside her. "Dora, my dove, think. Can you remember where the keys might be?"

"I can't even remember you."

Adam examined her in every detail--the tips of her fingers, the whites of her eyes, the curl of her lips. No signs of deception.

"You truly can't remember anything?"

Tears glittered in her eyes as she shook her head.

She looked as innocent as a newborn babe. The timid little fool he'd married couldn't fake such total ignorance. If she'd peered behind the door, she'd lost the memory of what she'd seen. If she'd disobeyed, he had no way of knowing.

A new twist to the game--a second chance.

Adam left the room in a state of contentment. He could get new keys made. His secret was safe--locked away either behind the door or in his wife's blank mind.

And if her memory returned? If she had memories of that bloody chamber?

He could always kill her later.

#answered asks #adventures in writing #fairy tale retellings #bluebeard #incomingalbatross #i could have taken this in much more pleasant directions #but when i tried to match fairy tales to the scenario most of them just became summaries of the original tale #picking one where the couple gets married before the end held more promise #i did consider 'east of the sun west of the moon' #but when this one came to mind and suggested a very different type of story i couldn't resist #i considered hinting that she's faking her amnesia #giving her a better chance to gather evidence and alert her family #but there's no great way to show that from his pov #just know that there's still a happy ending to this version of the tale #(i had wanted to pick a fairy tale where the amnesia could be magically induced) #(because i usually hate the 'bump on the head erases memory' trope) #(brain damage doesn't work like that!) #(but the drama potential outweighed medical accuracy) #(and it does further suggest she could be faking it)

this is a psa that the shauna defence squad has made room for cate dunlap, soz i dont make the rules

#gen v #cate. #i will fistfight anyone who says anything negative about my fairy princess thank you #like lets be real for a second #this girl has sought out motherly comfort #she wanted comfort #for once in her life she wanted to be the one cared for #and she was taken advantage of #so her doing shetty's bidding makes TOTAL sense because in her mind #she was protecting her friends #she was the protector; something she saw her friends needed #and when shit hit the fan #she was willing to give herself a fucking stroke to return the memories #i will fuckin fight

I think the thing that annoys me the most about Juvia as a character is the fact she had the potential to be a really compelling character but was turned into a creepy, one dimensional joke

#sigh.. ik how this fandom can be so. To be clear. I am NOT getting mad at you for liking this character #You’re allowed to like whatever characters you like. *I* like this character despite disliking the direction her arc was taken #plus one criticism doesn’t suddenly mean the series is worthless. #Do I like ft’s writing? No. Does that mean anyone who likes the series or its writing or derives some value from it is stupid? No. #ft has its strengths! It has good things in it! Sure I have criticisms of it but that doesn’t take away what it does right! #Every work of fiction has flaws and criticisms to be made about it! And that’s fine! #Tldr I’m not coming after you for liking this character/shipping something that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not here to police you. #I’m just stating my personal opinion on this element #Also I’ll probably never post anything like this again. I’m not going to overrun the tag and I lost interest in the series awhile ago #I’m not trying to start discourse #Just state my opinion on this one element of a work of fiction #the block button is right there if you need it #anyways I should stop rambling. I’ve seen how this fandom can be and I wanted to clarify #my ramblings #fairy tail

I might be Fae

Okay, I'm allergic to iron, synthetic clothing and many chemicals. All of them either burn me or make me have and eccema outbreak

My joints go in ways that they Shouldn't and I'm comfortable in weird positions

I'm pretty sure i was like... the literal definition of changeling as a kid. Complete with knowing things I shouldn't (learned to read without being taught) or not playing apropiately with toys and generally didn't follow normal guidelines for baby and kid development.

I just wish they would come back for me. I think I would feel better there.

#personal #yes I know most of it is the autism and my other disabilities #I'm allowed to feel like this regardless #Specially when autism is like changeling myth comes from #also I have a Fae headmate so they may just be cofronting and I'm just dumb #take me into the fairy ring pls #take me away #I want to be Taken #I'm already not here #pls

... I really gotta stop coming up with wildly ambitious AU ideas.

#my posts #HEAD IN HANDS. #it's a much darker flavored Deltarune AU. similar vibes to Lynxgriffin's Eldritchrune. everything and everyone is terrifying #but it's fae and grimm's fairy tales instead of demons. #like. DANGEROUS fae. don't give strangers your name. #a world where magic is real and it hunts you in the night. #i'm currently calling it 'Changeling AU' and it's a bit unhinged #the 'kris' of that world is a fae changeling that was abandoned after their parents realized they weren't really their child :') #so the Dreemurrs took them in... even knowing what they are. #meanwhile the real HUMAN Kris was being raised by fae in the Other World so they're BOTH very weird and feral #i haven't figured out all the details but i know they find each other because the human Kris escaped and is trying to get home #while the changeling Kris is trying to figure out these strange and terrifying doorways that are appearing around town #not really realizing what's going on and that someone on the other side is knock knock knocking... :) they want out. #and of course i'm sure that goes MEGA bad because Kris realizes they were /replaced/ and this THING took their life #because they don't Get that Changelings have no idea they're not human and have no ill intentions. they're just Weird #the Changelings of this AU are meant to be a 'gift' by the fae; a 'perfect' child born from hopes and dreams for the future #they're very uncanny but don't have much magical ability on their own and are the closest to human that fae can get #since they're a fae specifically born from human feelings. it makes them a bit of a halfling in a sense. #Changeling Kris might even be actively benevolent... having witnessed Dess getting Taken and wanting to rescue her... #they just weren't expecting to find TWO lost kids in the dark. #anyway. it's a hellish AU and i'll probably never complete it #but god i just needed to ramble for a sec there lol #ROLLS AWAY BACK INTO THE VOID

Look how they massacred my boy (the sunny)...

The irresistible urge to make Ly from Rayman 2 as a sylvari in Guild Wars 2. You don’t understand. It’s too strong.

#SHE'D BE PERFECT #should i go broke for another character slot lmao #sadly i can't have her naked if i want to actually play as her but no idea what armor could make it look like her og look hhh #glitch.txt #fun fact someone already either made her or named a character after her cuz the name 'ly the fairy' is taken lol

[perenlop]

 really gotta get around to drawing widow some more bc im getting ideas for her (sad)

#specifically abt sectonia's corruption bc like... oh what if she witnesses sectonia consuming someone else for their beauty #and shes HORRIFIED bc this is not the sectonia she knows and fell in love with.... #idk if taranza will know abt that bc tbh... idk him knowing abt that but only fighting against sectonia once she lashes out at him #feels kinda odd to me #but i dont wanna be like ''oh he was an innocent baby who never knew how bad it was'' either #my perception of him is like. he was very very deeply in denial for a lot of it and helped her out still #because like. hey shes the queen! the queen is always right! and shes my friend. my closest friend who i grew up with #she wouldnt act this way without a reason right? #i cant go against her; shes my friend; i love her; she wouldn't do that; if she did then she probably had a good reason #oh sure its not GREAT that she wants me to kidnap this guy but he was going to meddle with her! hes only here bc of those fairies! #and those fairies are just being disobedient and disrespectful to her! shes our queen! you cant go against her! #so they deserve to be locked up and this guy needs to be taken care of so she isnt disturbed!! we're right!! #basically hes a doormat and not good with his moral backbone when it comes to ppl he cares abt #echoed voice

SO. sorry this is going to be deranged i'm not proofreading this

so i've been writing a lot recently, and this particular project involves a language and culture i'm making up. and it's got me thinking about language, and communication, and lying.

and this is probably a very autistic realization, but it's hit me that usually when people lie, what they are trying to convey— and like, we're ignoring the ethics of it, this post is devoid of judgement one way or another, i'm just examining this thought— is a request for an emotional response from someone that the truth is less or unlikely to get across as effectively or as easily.

like, normal example, totally excusable: "my wife is in the hospital," when it's your girlfriend in the hospital. factually untrue! but what one wants people to hear is "someone i love and want to spend the rest of my life with is in dire straits and therefore so am i, please excuse anything in my behavior that may be caused by this," essentially. or like you can swap wife/girlfriend with sibling/best friend or aunt/neighbor or whatever. what you're trying to get across is the magnitude of the relationship rather than communicating the nature of the relationship itself.

we have words for that! like, yes, it's lying to use the wrong words, technically, to "trick" someone into understanding how close whatever given person is to you, and how much their condition is affecting you, but! also, i do have to say, in that particular instance i do have to say that, the primary goal of language being communication...... it's interesting! the facts are untrue. but the gravity of the circumstance was conveyed clearly with intention, which is to say, the emotional impact was increased by sacrificing literal clarity. this is basically what hyperbole does!!!!

most lying does that, doesn't it? most lies that i can think of are in some way in service to emotion above like, anything else. someone wanting to spare themselves someone else's emotion ("i'm fine", "i didn't do that", "i don't want this, you take it") and this is....... in a way, strictly speaking, effective communication. it's. hm.

like, for the record, i'm not pro-lying, and also, to reiterate, it's also ineffective communication, because it's factually untrue, which means again that however much an aim was achieved or a meaning conveyed you do it at the expense of one whole half of the venture. but it's interesting, isn't it? how much lying is usually angling for a specific impact, or to gain some form of ease and/or expediency.

i feel like i'm probably getting this across poorly which is also like, really funny, but what prompted this is like......... language is an imperfect tool! we know this. speaking (or whatever) is always an act of translation, and in translation something is always lost. like, even if that thing is only time. one is never able to express anything exactly as quickly as the original; thoughts take time to parcel up and deliver, or come out poorly if not mangled if at all recognizably. when going from one literal language to another, you have to decide whether you want to be more accurate literally, in impact, or in delivery, so respectively and with the simplest example you have to decide if when you translate an idiom you do so verbatim, or with an equivalent, and then whether or not you explain your choice and/or its value. because like, in an unattainable "perfect" translation, you could communicate both the meaning and the trappings of its delivery seamlessly and simply in about the same space as it was originally given more or less immediately. instead, because we can't do that, you can sacrifice to some degree either the original words, their original impact, or the original delivery, by again respectively changing the words altogether, losing the impact (generally also altogether), or losing the directness/straight forward nature of the communication by inserting an info blurb. and of course any kind of translation needs some extra degree of time, even just in its delivery. you lose things! you have to decide which things are most valuable to you to allow you to be "truest". like, which part of any given sentence is most important ? it varies, right? and sometimes one can affect another, like, what if brevity is important to the impact? or conversely, what if something specific has to be communicated in a long-winded and round about way to have the same impact, but it's tricky to manage doing so without losing the clarity? what do you sacrifice? the meaning, the impact, or the delivery? does that make sense? and you're probably always going to lose time.

so, lying!!!!! it's sacrificing meaning for the other two, is what i was trying to say earlier. it's an imperfect translation!!!!! in one sense!!! but it is a translation!!!!! isn't that interesting?? actually no, sorry, most ethically speaking it's 2 sacrifices; meaning and delivery. like, as i kept saying, the facts are untrue (meaning), and at some point for the sake of clarity it'll be necessary to be like "oh no, sorry, actually it was [the factual truth], i just said [x] because [some form of expected expediency/ease], [explanation of that choice]." (<- delivery.) but y’know with lying with ill intentions you do get to skip that part, and in that case the lack of correcting by revisiting/extending the delivery is part of the communication, whereby you are implicitly saying something like "fuck you, also". or possibly "fuck me," idk, lying can contain multitudes. which!!!!!!!! isn't that interesting??? talking!!!!!!!!!!!! communication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how and why and in what ways we say things........... the choices we make and the reasons we make those choices....... the sacrifices that are and are not acceptable to make, and in which contexts, in order to come across as you intend to...........

idk i'm just turning this around like a shiny rock in my hands. like, also, i do know that lying is done with the intent to deceive, and also that lying (derogatory) is done maliciously, with either the intent to harm or at least a lack of intent of care, but. hm. isn't it interesting, what you can learn when you look at how people lie, and how those things can change based on why you think they were lying? they still communicated effectively!!!!!!! they did it on purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!! they made those choices for a reason. that still..... tells something!!!!

even imperfect communication can, in its flaws, tell us something!!!!!!!! does someone sacrifice time, meaning, impact, delivery? why? in what contexts? with intent? for what purpose? isn't it interesting????????????????

#* #chatter #specifically what i've been working on is ftmob is why this happened #and something ehir does a lot (both as someone whose first language no one else speaks and as someone who wants to say as little as possible #at any given time) is he just. arbitrarily uses words he understands to be taken as the vague equivalnces of what he means instead of #entirely accurately conveying what he wants to say. which. not........ that is not lying! #it's sacrificing clarity and muddying impact for the sake of time and delivery‚ which is definitely not lying. but it does mean that a not #insignificant portion of what he says isn't like............... true. lmao. and he does know that!! #which. just to say. it got me thinking about lying isn't like. JUST saying things that aren't true. bc we say untrue things all the time‚ #for impact‚ usually‚ but also usually in those cases again you still don't lose Clarity (generally) #but lack of clarity is also not lying. like. strictly. lying is for IMPACT. usually. or sometimes Lack of impact #people say things that aren't true all the time for various reasons. and those reasons...... are interesting!! aren't they? #and isn't lying interesting???? ftmob isn't the kind of fantasy that has fairies but IF IT WERE #what is the ESSENTIAL component that a makes a fairy-lie untellable? #it is NOT the intent to deceive. universally it's accepted that fairies Can very much trick you. on purpose! #they're free to mess with impact. they can even very deliberately fuck with clarity‚ tbh‚ except in the very strictest of senses #ALL they have to say is something that (they think) is FACTUALLY true. and like. why??? #ik another fact of fairies is they don't have a soul (whatever that means if anything) and often this is depicted also as having the #consequence that they lack imagination or the ability to (independently) create‚ so..... what does that mean for COMMUNICATION? #language is complicated!!!!!!! doing the kinds of mental contortions that let you convey something untrue while only technically speaking #factually is NOT simple. that's like. an art‚ in a way! using what's there to makes someone see what isn't!!! why can they do that?? #they're allowed an imperfect translation. again‚ artfully and intentionally imperfect‚ even!! #they've gotta have fucked up brains in there that's all i'm sayin. that they can have imagination enough for the Product but not its Parts. #that's interesting!!!!!!!!!!! i don't think i've ever seen anyone quite make a point of/with that. #that's a tangeant for another day tbh #ig i'll also slap this w #ftmob #anyway #just rambling. i love writing. i love language. i love people. i love how people CHOOSE things............ #i love making those choices........ communication is so interesting. that's all send tweet.
