Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

#also this is less relevant and i was going to put it in the main post but i cant find the words for it #but i found your last sentence kind of condescending. “the shallura thing worries me” as if i am your little project and things arent going #to plan. as if you are the Knower Of All Things and i am straying from my path lol. twas odd #and this is a controversial thing to say i know it but like #we take fandom way too seriously. if someone decides in fic to make two characters the same age to ship them or whatever. do we really need #to get the torches and pitchforks. like i can understand discomfort when people ship like shiro and pidge or something but. also. i feel #like you can just block and move on?? like i dont ship sheith bc they are brothers. to me. but also i dont think sheithers should be #harassed or any dumb shit like that. i think its so so whatever like theyre Lines man theyre moving lines #at the same time i understand that peoples headcanons can be reflective of their worldviews (like when racism/transphobia/sexism shine #through someone's headcanons/characterization) but how much scrutiny is too much? when do we get to remember that fandom is a place to #work with the FICTIONAL? where you can change details without consequence? i saw a fic where keith was the older sibling and shiro was the #younger once. it was a good fic. how come we can play with ages but only when the Fandom Council approves? #i guess this is a really long and clumsy way to say like. you do not own the fandom nor do you get to dictate my work. and while there #is always room for necessary criticism please also think critically before you post your criticism #anyways #rant #ask

sometimes a show throws a scenario at you that you could see coming a hundred miles off but that in no way is gonna prevent you from going absolutely feral over it. Anyway I binged all of Link Click in like three days and I'm going to start chewing furniture about the end of S2

#link click #am I SURPRISED that lu guang is without question on board to #go against all his own rules and break reality for cxs? #not really. it's kind of what you expect just from the premise #am i still screaming into a pillow about it? #OH ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY #FUCKING MADOKA SHIT. HELP ME. #fellas is it gay to fuck with time and disregard all possible consequences #because the alternative is letting your Best Friend die and that's simply not an option #i want... to write... bed sharing fic so bad #they really made CXS For Me like #you have the absolutely perfect excuse to just drop this boy into a trauma blender at any given moment #anyway i think he should get like. trapped in a cave-in or something #anything that makes him terrified of being left alone #and when he comes back out he just desperately needs lg to hold him and not let go

Knowing in my head that Vashwood would never work out if they were in a sentimental relationship adds a fundamental layer of delusional in my own personal VW experience

#it is essential for WW to die no matter what. or else V keeps standing with his own views immovable #surely. he might put them at question eventually. but WW and V question each others views in ways that the consequences #are quite literally mortal for one of them to understand. the one being Vash #I don’t know how to elaborate on this better but I just know they wouldn’t go a day without fighting over morals or shit like that #the solution would be nothing most likely. just ignoring the problem forever making it grow and grow #going unaddressed assuming the other will understand. and they do understand to an extent just not to their full potential #they take the best and the worst out of each other which can arguably be a good thing #but they have to be out of each other’s grasp in order to understand the true value of the other with no way back to them methinks #I’m not making any sense perhaps but I do make enough sense to myself so that is that #that’s why fanfiction is the best thing ever #lenssi rambles #vashwood #nicholas d wolfwood #vash the stampede #trigun

If you could have any Asmo/reader fic what would be the things you would want from it? like an ideal fic would contain what tropes or AUS or situations or whatever

uhmm anything wellwritten that characterizes asmo similar to the way i do ! i rlly like character exploration , both more serious stuff & just sillycute...anything where asmo is a little cunning and toxic and also gets railed into oblivion.anything where hes a vampire. ill write a tag essay about the specifics

#xreaders are too unrelatable for me usually .. im aroace and the only relationship dynamics that r rlly interesting to me r likee #toxic or tumultuous...i think in many asmo fics hes just very one note or like not a complex love interest .which is fine because hes like #that in the game but i am especially drawn to fics where the author has their own kind of unique take on it. nuance. etc #it's really interesting to see situations in which asmo kind of reaps the consequences of shitty behavior or struggles with parts of himsel #f he doesnt like. not just in like ohhh im insecure sobsob but like deeprooted issues & patterns thought processes that come with being a d #demon that maybe clash with human morality or ideals...like what if he sees human lives as generally more disposable because hes lived for #so long?? what would a fic be like about him wanting a fling with a human that ends up taking apart their life but to him its just a fun #little romance without any real consequences or commitment?? even if he was obsessed w them professing his undying love etc etc he could ge #t bored and drop it anytime and outlive them by millions of years and forget...& how does a human love an entity like that? how could the r #relationship look anything close to normal ever...anyway i like fics that touch on questions like this theyre kind of rare though #this all being said i def dont think asmo is completely evil💭 nuance #at work so im literally just wasting time by thinking about this rn but this was like the asmotoni dynamic its too interesting to me #asmotoni is like this in my head but on papwr i just draw them fucking witj bunny ears sorry #this doesnt even answer ur question really. if i could write a fic rn it would be like 200k word emo band au that isnt xreader or a romance #fic it would just be asmo beel belphie as humans starting a band and their rise and fall etc ive been thinking abt that plot nonstop

Merlin but Merlin loses it when Arthur dies and instinctively starts a time loop and every time Arthur dies it automatically resets...for angst purposes it could stay tragic..no matter what he does to change the past kilgharra was right. no one can change their destiny nor can they escape it. or by starting this time loop at all he's doing is preventing the rise of the once and future king so by staving off Arthur's death he's actually preventing anyone from ever really living again. a never ending story with one character aware of the narrative but powerless to change it. a puppet with a brain but no autonomy to put it to use. A tragedy of his own making instead the one prophesized

#so that it doesn't work on the first try maybe morgana remembers and interferes or #maybe future Merlin is a sort of apparition that can only act if his old body lets him. he talks to past him like a ghost or demon even #so what he's saying directly contradicts kilgharra or gaius so present merlin probably distrusts him like crazy #merlin becomes another old annoying person in his own ear #who he doesn't even know if he can trust #OR he ends up sending arthur back by accident and arthur is in the past trying to fix shit #and this CHANGES something because now there's warnings of a great ending of all things coming for Camelot and by extension albion #and arthur knowing about Merlin's powers after keeping his knowledge to himself (cos he died RIGHT after learning about the magic) #finally understands the burden merlin had without having to try and understand based on Merlin's summary of an explanation alone #he understands morgana and mordred even nimueh like he GETS it gets it #anyway time goes on canon events are rewritten and the 'great evil' rips a giant hole in space and time and it turns out #future merlin was the cause. because he was smashing alternate realities to pieces looking for arthur is desperation #not knowing where the hell he even sent him breaking any known laws of time and space and reality consequences be damned #arthur cannot kill merlin. he cannot do it. not even for Camelot #so this can be angsty too like merlin loses himself completely in the search for arthur (paralleling the og timeline where Merlin ends up #singularly focused on Arthur's safety instead of his true mission) #and it literally swallows him and their entire known world up #or they get through to him. arthur AND past merlin. seeing that past him was able to diverge from the set path. live more for himself #than just arthur or for the sake of camelot be a PERSON outside of that. and have knowledge that he DID change arthur's mind. #not just as a useless deathbed confession but as something that actively changed and SAVED albion redeemed him of the mistakes he made and #proved that arthur is the man the KING he told every antagonist he was #future merlin sacrifices himself to destroy the black hole he made and it's like that future never even was. #just a bad nightmare you can't really remember. #just thinking about Merlin god bless #bbc merlin #fic ideas

who wants to make Fight Club irl w me

#fight club #every day i just want to get in a brawl #idc if i lose i just want to fight with no outside consequence #like yes. injuries and potential emotional damage and whatever. #but like. without the law interfering. without the sensitive-hearted humans interfering. any of that #only the heat of battle and its natural consequences #so what u broke my leg we're still best buds and i'll see you again and be ready to fuck you up right back soon as it heals #or before then #call me a risk taker i guess #i wonder if i can convince any of my friends to fight me 😭 #but it wouldnt be enough we'd both go easy from our bond #i want a death match. i want to expect grievous injury #shouldve been a cis guy when thunderdomes were a thing #what if i become rich manage to make an island and then like #declare it its own nation with my laws #and we can have fights w consent forms and other stuff #i know its a useless fantasy but its nice anyway #imma try to get some shut-eye

#graham calloway #gifs #many thoughts #first i was thinking how i hate the way s3 ends #the reveal deflated my enthusiasm SO much but i always begrudgingly accept it because #at the end of the day its thematically cohesive and helps move the story fine and thematic cohesion matters more to me #the crackle rod reveal however! is thank ! he's not dead + does not negate the choices and consequences of dark! carmen getting it #and reveals that he has changed in ways that impact people other than carmen and of his own volition since NO ONE KNEW HE DID IT #and this choice ends up saving his life and allowing him to have a true fresh start #plus add another to the headcanon that carmen won a little too easily on the train because gray knows how to throw a dude his size #and who is actively resisting him #Attempt is still an attempt and she should absolutely take it personally but for runtimes sake aside its laughable how short the fight is #no offense to miss carmens own fighting skills but almost every other agent she goes against can hold their own a bit longer #and i don't think gray is technically any worse than them #also gray and his absolute conviction in what type of person he is and slowly changing for the better anyways #little dude #digs a hole to rock bottom and then goes hahaha what if i became less terrible without anyone noticing #carmen sandiego 2019

head in hands miles’s arc in spiderverse means so much to me. choosing to embody all that spiderman IS by earnestly trying to save those around him and rejecting the notion that he should simply lie down and let fate take its course....augh....

#my BOY. #thinking about it so much fr #the way BEING spiderman is about the trying #trying to save others regardless of how it plays out #you arent always able to yes. thats what the critical deaths in the spiderman narrative are ABOUT but you must try #the way pavitr truly EMBODIES his identity as spiderman the moment he looks at what he thinks is an inevitable fate and says no! im going to #try to save both! #the way gwen reembraces what it truly means to be spidergwen by going to try protect miles' dad #GOD. #the way miguel sees the destruction of the dimension he hopped over to as a catostrophic consequence for him trying to buck fate #where - even though yes he must shoulder responsibility for what he tried to do - he was never more spiderman than when he tried to save #those IN that dimension #he doesnt realise. he thinks in failing he must crush any resembalence of divergence he sees in other people #because he desperately wants to crush that desire in himself even when he cant help but give in to it on occassion #such as offering gwen a refuge where per his own code he should have simply allowed her universe to play out (and without a moment to cool #off it seems unlikely for gwens dad to have relented and truly THOUGHT about what he was compromising by arressting his daughter.) #AUGHHHHHH MILES MY BOY. #across the spiderverse #spiderverse spoilers

.....realized I would literally rather work 12 hours a day and come home to complete silence where my space is exactly the way I like it and I don't have to continue to mask my reactions than have to work all day then come back to a roommate. wish I'd had this realization 2 months ago. I've been crying about how much I don't want to live with someone else and just NOW realized I'm an adult and I've organized my life in such a way that I don't technically Have to I can just work harder at a number of kind of shitty jobs I'm qualified for

#had a whole breakdown in private when i found out they had already leased my place i am hot mess this year #there are other places around the same price it was just. i thought about not having to move and the instant relief and hope for the future #then again i thought about not having to live with anyone else in general and that did also restore my hope for the future a tiny bit #if i had just realized i can do what i want even a month ago #:( #i don't WANT to suffer the 2-4 month mental consequences of changing where i live #i was getting a roommate because i was like. so i lose my ability to be around people and still function/hold down a job every 2 years #i should start planning for the next go around of the cycle #THEN i realized wait. i was living with my family for burnout 1 #i was working 2 jobs and going to school for burnout 2 #i was living with a roommate for burnout 3 #(extension of burnout 2) #i was living with my family working full time and doing classes online for burnout 4 #what if. here's a thought #i wasn't living with family i wasn't living with a roommate i wasn't in school #and i worked the same shitty job that gave me $16 an hour #but at the end of the day i just didn't have to do any other work #hm. #idk if i will even be able to find a place that accepts me on my own without a guaranteed income but #god it would help me keep a guaranteed income to live alone #who knows maybe i'd even be able to get therapy for the fact that i have never felt truly comfortable around anyone irl #it's always been like i had to force myself through anyway but what if i got to stop for even like 2 years

thanks to TV Tropes for reminding me how damn often RTD!Who does that thing of condeming the mass-killing of (usually) Daleks and getting (usually) the Doctor to decide not to do it and then getting someone else to kill them all anyway because we don't want the hero to make a horrible choice but we also don't want him and the rest of the universe to have to live with the consequences of his decision to nope out of it on moral grounds. so the story does in fact think that the Daleks need to be killed en masse but only if it can be done by a scapegoat or someone who is unaware of what they're doing and who thus cannot be blamed for their actions.

#(except the TARDIS probably knew exactly what she was doing in Parting of the Ways so if you want to feel free to do that) #(she did save the universe but she also hijiacked a human's body so she could use it to kill all those Daleks and kiss her Thief) #(all of which is complicated by her unique relationship with time so we don't actually know what she'd have known about the consequences) #(also she's a weird eccentric living time-machine and so i feel like her ethical concerns will be very different to anyone else's anyway) #anyway i think think of RTD!Who (and RTD's work in general) as essentially optimistic but deeply cynical at the same time #he doesn't *like* some his own conclusions as to which option is more morally acceptable so he solves the problem by cheating #'coward every time' is popular but like... it IS a massive act of moral cowardice that without a cheat does lead to billions more deaths #but by the writer cheating the hero keeps his hands clean of any responsibility for both action AND inaction which is... hrm #dw

Huffman was definitely the first person Kae'd ever slept with, and had to spend a great deal of time talking Huffman out of proposing bc the man wanted to 'take responsibility', send tweet-

#//Not on the other blog bc it a general hc #//ANYWAY #hc; kaeya #//It's bc of Kae's voiceline #//HIs Mika one; where he mentions both Mika AND Huffman take things WAY too seriously #//But also the fact that Huffman is basically canon Kae simp lol #//Bc if there's anybody Kae could rope into shit; it's Huffman #//And at the time; he'd used his pretty face to do ONE reckless thing of his own; with ONE person he'd have no qualms doing so #//Prolly bc Huffman was the only friend Kae had at the time that he COULD fuck without a mortifying slew of problems #//Still prolly panicked just as bad as Huffman over the whole ordeal; bc he had yet to enter his flouncing peacock era at the time #//Cried abt it to Addie & everything; she helped make sure he wouldn't deal with any lasting consequences. & gave him a Scolding; but STILL #//He later on looked back on his first time like 'Wow I was so fucken stupid; you'd think I'd gotten knocked up or smth-' #//Deffo likes sleeping with Huffman every chance he gets in present day #//For the stress relief; even if it's a stress in and of itself to keep convincing him that he does NOT need to 'take responsibility' #//Huffman was prolly also the only person whose marriage offer Kae has ever actually seriously considered; to this date #//Bc they were already friends; but also bc Kae Knew that Huffman would only ever have good intentions to him #//For a FACT #//Known the guy since his trainee days; ofc he'd trust him over any nobles or most other people that'd try to vie for Kae's hand #//But it's also precisely BC Huffman is such a good friend that Kae also would rather Not marry him #//He knows the man too well; he'd make for a good fuck; yeah; but partner??? With how he's raised Mika??? His habits???? #//Nahhh #//And that's without mentioning Kae's OWN issues with marriage as it stands- #//Adding shit bc yes: Huffman is deffo the person Kae goes to when he starts getting antsy abt his looks #//Bc he knows Huffman would NEVER stop praising and complimenting him throughout #//Would deffo let the man fuck him through a dysphoric episode too; for the same reason #//Dude's too stupidly sincere; Kae finds it endearing and so very reassuring

Here's a simple art of Zhao turning his back to Ozai scene.

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/108411738

This was meant to be posted together with it's parallel scene because *insert "poetic cinema" meme* but due to reasons I don't believe I'd be able to finish the other piece any time soon.

Also revisiting the chapter made me realize Ozai's hair should look more disbehaved than that. 😂

OOOOOOH, DANG!

That's one hell of a portrayal of that scene, love the way you worked with the lighting, makes it feel very dramatic (and it was indeed very dramatic, haha). And maybe Ozai's hair could be messier, but that it's messy altogether is VERY rare in Diva Lord x'D so I think his chaotic state of mind at this stage is conveyed perfectly here!

I'm really loving your Ozai art <3 his character arc in Part 3 is a rollercoaster that evokes sooo many fucked up emotions in me every single time I have to write him, as it should be when writing a guy like him, I'd dare say. He's complicated, he's messy, and I really thrive in portraying that because of how much work you can get done with a character like this. Seeing you making so much art about him really makes me think he's hitting the right spot as a complicated & complex character for more people than just myself, and nothing makes a writer happier than evoking other people's creations with their work! Thank you very much!!! <3

#wingsfreedom #gladiator #gladiator ozai gives so much to work with for reals #he's the reason why I can't stand boring villains anymore #what even IS the point of having a villain who's just evil for the sake of evil #when you can make them ruin their own lives by being completely chaotic #self-sabotaging without even realizing it #their pride being their undoing #I would never call Ozai's story a tragedy because he absolutely asked for all the shit coming his way #but he can be such a great way to look at the consequences of being a horrible horrible terrible person #who ultimately is deeply human and his biggest mistakes are cemented in that which doesn't make them any less terrible #the dark side of human nature you could say #it's so thrilling to see he's inspiring so much art from you #makes me feel like I'm handling him right <3 #thank you for that <3

not my mom complaining that my sister never listens or follows directions as if that's not literally due to her never getting consequences for anything she does

#like obviously she's not gonna do what you tell her to do #because every time you tell her what to do she know it's empty and meaningless #it's such a pain being the parentified oldest sister because i'm constantly battling between 'its not my job to raise her so who cares' #and 'i could do this better why don't they listen to me' #and ik i'm only thinking about any of this BECAUSE of the parentification #but like i'm begging them to just give her 1 ONE measly consequence #or otherwise she'll never learn. she'll just keep understanding that if she refuses enough #my mom will back down because it's easier to back down than to raise her right #and my dad is as uninvolved as you can be without being NC #i know i'm only the way that i am because of my own personality traits not anything external

What I say: hey, back when we were discussing the importance of timeliness, that comment about “people who are always late to meetings also never miss a flight” has really stuck with me.

What I mean: that comment has driven me nuts for days because I know the preparation and effort I put into being on-time for a single flight isn’t sustainable for getting into work every day no matter how hard I try and I wrote a multiple paragraph rough draft with all my thoughts about it but I feel like I can’t talk to you in-depth about these feelings because I’m afraid you’ll think I’m making excuses

#text post #adhd #late #time #I have no idea how to tag this #the just of the paper was ‘so you know how often I fly? like maybe once every two years. do you know how often I wake up? every single day’ #‘the sacrifices and concessions and preparation I make for a flight only have to be done for a single day not every day without fail’ #‘my strict routines tend to not accommodate enough time for savoring pleasant moments’ #‘the more days I sacrifice something in exchange for productivity means the more days I accumulate consequences for not relaxing’ #or showering or cleaning my dishes or any other consequence of my actions I have to face #long story short the quote is true but it’s not the whole story #and I know the person meant well #I still respect them #oh and for the record #the opinions stated here are my own and not reflective of the person I was speaking to
