I swear finding books that I enjoy for me is such a struggle because I went through a process (that lasted basically all my life) where I basically read everything that could make me sound intelligent and I found something I enjoyed and some things I absolutely despised (but forced myself to finish anyways )

Ever since I started trying to find books that actually fit my taste I went insane because literally I don’t know what to choose from

Every single booktok trend fucking sucked

Goodreads is nothing but regurgitated booktok trends

So now I actually follow a newsletter from an online book magazine published in my country and here and there I do find some interesting stuff (the last book I read and really liked was Hamnet by Maggie o Farrell that made me bawl my eyes out) , while some other recommendations from that magazine sucked

That being said , I would 100% try to rec you something I enjoyed if I feel like it’d fit your taste. Is there something you would absolutely not read ? Like genres/authors/ time periods you would absolutely not be interested in ??

Yeah, I follow a few publishers just to get book news but mostly I just text my friends every once and a while about what they've read recently. And then I think "WO WTHOSE SOUND GREAT!" and then let them down by never reading them because my attention span is that of a new born rat who has only been fed sugar and shrooms.

I'm pretty open minded about genre and time periods. I just do not enjoy grim dark shit that has nothing to say outside of "life sucks" or "I have lots of political intrigue where the message is 'every side sucks in some way' but don't have anything to actually say about politics/society."

I do prefer faster paced reads but can get down with soemthing more meandering if it has really good character dynamics within it. I do lean more towards fantasy over like... historical stuff but a good book is a good book.

I do prefer for the books to be focused on adults though. I don't mind some teenage focus but a lot of them tend to focus on like Coming of Age a as theme and like... I've come and gone of age, y'unno? I've been there. I understand the themes cause I've lived them.

*In the morning he was shook awake by Oakly who was saying words at him but he couldn't understand anybof them. He just stared right through Oakly, comprehending nothing. He glanced around to see a puddle of black on the floor of his room in the clinic. He squinted at it not fully comprehending anything.*

What...

I could ask you the same thing.

Oakly I don't-- somthin's not right...

*Oakly frowned, looking at the poor guy and pulled a rag out to wipe up his face which had been smeared with whatever substance was on the floor. Altair scrunched his brow trying to recall last night but only felt deeply upset all over again.*

...Oakly y'unno where Anwir is?

...Anwir?

Yeah... Have you seen him?

Not that know, sorry.

Oh.

* It was a good minute until Oakly picked him back up and put him in bed, setting a hand on his forehead. Warmth steadily rising but pulling away after a few moments. He got a thermometer and checked the temperature of Altair, 110° F (and rising). Oakly grimaced.*

...I need you to stay in here.

Not that I was planning on leaving this bed anyways..

Hello! I saw your post about Helluva Boss and it got me to think about my OCs, specifically Lostheart here. Since she has so many spikes and quills, she'd be an animator's nightmare, too. How should I go about fixing her?

[Oh howdy ! I don't usually receive asks like this, so this is pretty exciting :D hopefully this is something that helps you !]

Now, in my honest professional opinion, Lostheart looks sick as hell. I really enjoy the warm color palette and the armor ! and the spikes add a lot to it imo. Very cool character, there's nothing to be fixed here, so I'm just gonna give you general tips :]

- When you're dealing with something that repeats as much as spikes, you want to have to keep in mind that having too many will result in you having to draw each one every single time. And well, that's a lot of spikes y'unno ? So to animate that, it'd be pretty difficult.

- The solution to this problem is simple however ! If you take a look at characters with the same kind of motif, you'll notice many of them will simplify the spikiness while still keeping them sharp. Think of it as several small quils bunching together into one big shape !

Examples of this include Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Saiyans from DBZ, The Able Sisters from Animal Crossing and a handful of monsters designs from Monsters inc.

- Notice how there is a defining line of action for the pointy edges to go to ? That's basically what you want to do ! Pick a direction, and curve the spikes towards it. This also helps you get a keep a simpler silhouette than what you'd have if you drew each one individually.

- Once you get the first step down, and still feel there's not enough spikes, repeat the process, but rotate the spikes slightly to give them a little bit of dimension !

Visual example below:

Hope this helps you !

cishet aces exist, y'unno. erasing them while trying to pander to them won't make you seem more enlightened or inclusive

I know cishet aces exist? Same with cishet aros. What do you even mean "pander"? Stfu bro.

[kelvintimeline]

im turning my queue off for today because i decided to clear out my likes and so far i hve 200+ posts queued and none of them are vaguely in orders, so like... that needs to be fixed

i’ll turn it back on when my queue is at least shuffled

#i like to have a more general mix of content in my queue #instead of five posts of the same charcater in a row #y'unno?

[genderfluid-and-confuzled]

Does anyone have any advice for things I could say to my mom to defend neopronouns? Like she says that “If everyone used the same one they would all be accepted” which is such annoying bullshit but like, idk how to explain to her.

#I probably wouldn't actually say those things to her #because y'unno #but I would think them in my head #tw transphobia #transphobia tw

I love Harry for who he is, not for the Harry I can put on a pedestal.

He’s flawed, he’s more normal than we pretend he is, and he’s also just as talented as we know he is. He’s a human being. He isn’t an innovator at everything he does, sometimes he’s just Harry.

#this is why I prefer stanning Louis #because i think we're all very aware that y'unno... he has limits #whereas harry stans seem to think that unless he's doing EVERYTHING well beyond EVERYON EELSE #it isn't worth talking about #when like?? #nah #he's just a man with talents #but still... just a man

The sacred intonation greeting Fa-Nuit-Hen's apparition into the world was a squeaky breaking voice exclaiming: "You came!"

The demiprince materialized with all his humble splendor in the centre of a just-as-humble basement room. Not an armory as he was accustomed to, not a barracks or the hall of some rich noble, but a low-ceilinged circular chamber with dripping stone walls and the thick smell of mold in the air. Aside from a bit of sunlight filtering in from a grate above, the only light came from a sputtering fireplace, before which stood the earstwhile squeaky-voiced summoner, who stood naked before him, holding a spear and quite unashamed.

But Fa-Nuit-Hen was never one to be daunted by any circumstance of mortals. "I came!" he declared in return, throwing his arms wide. "How could I not, when you're the one who called? Come here, you!"

The conjurer's gaunt face split into a broad smile, and ze promptly flung hirself into Fa-Nuit-Hen's embrace.

When they had first met, Fa-Nuit-Hen had chosen his vessel to equal Vehk's in size, but now ze stood at least a head taller than his chosen form and hir strangely-shaped had to contort to embrace him fully. Ze would never be a large mer-- too much malnutrition in childhood-- but that suited hir presence fine, if the way ze seemed to shrink into the Demiprince's arms was anything to go by. "You came," ze mumbled into his shoulder, even as he patted hir on the back. "You're here, you're really--"

"Of course I came," Fa-Nuit-Hen cooed, before using the embrace to attempt to suplex the young mer.

In the single gesture Vehk was topped over his shoulder-- but then hir arm went around Fa-Nuit-Hen's neck, and both legs hooked around his hips. He was on the ground before he'd quite knew what had happened, with Vehk embracing him tightly from behind like some sort of beetle, and not a moment later ze flipped the both of them, and Fa-Nuit-Hen was on his belly with the orphan pinning him down. A shout, a brief struggle, and the Demiprince managed to toss Vehk off of him, but not before he'd gotten more of a taste of sewer floor than was appropriate for any Daedra to get.

"Well done!" Fa-Nuit-Hen gasped as he regained his footing. "You haven't forgotten a thing, have you!"

Vehk, sprawled on the ground, grasped the side of hir head and gave him a dazed grin. "I'm rusty."

"The memory will come back to you. Have you been practicing?"

"Kind of."

"Kind of? Well, we'll fix that yet! We'll start right away. I went to this summit in the Ashpit, got to hear about this new training regime the orcs knew..."

As Fa-Nuit-Hen spoke, Vehk came to be sitting next to the fire, legs drawn up to hir chest and arms hugging hir knees. Though ze had grown since their last meeting, hir proportions remained awkwardly childish, bony and soft all at once; hir long hair fell loose around hir shoulders like a woman's hair, hir large eyes seemed too far apart in hir face. Ze didn't look at Fa-Nuit-Hen, staring down at the fire with lips pursed, seeming to have lost all interest in the Daedra ze'd just summoned.

So Fa-Nuit-Hen cut off. "You *did* call me to establish a new training regime, right?"

Vehk glanced up at him. "I'unno."

"Y'unno why you called me?"

"Um, why did I call you?"

"I don't know. You don't remember?"

Vehk blinked slowly up at him. "I..." ze began, before furrowing hir brow. "... I think I wanted to see if you were real."

Fa-Nuit-Hen blinked back. "I'm real," he said brusquely. "Are *you* real?"

"I'unno. Don't remember."

Strange behavior for the alert and inquisitive child Fa-Nuit-Hen had once mentored. He dropped to his rear on the opposite side of the fire, crossing his legs and squinting at Vehk.

"Don't--" Vehk looked away from him, hunching hir shoulders. "Don't look at me like that! I'm-- urgh--"

"Are you sick?"

"I'm too high!" With a groan Vehk flopped onto hir back. "Okay? Alright? I summoned you cause I wanted to see if you're real! I forgot whether you exist."

"A lapse in memory," Fa-Nuit-Hen nodded. "I suffer from much the same. Let me reassure you, little Vehk, that I am indeed real!"

"... Am *I* real?"

"You are, my friend. Real as a stab wound."

14 on the setting swap ask game for Phoenix pls!

[Send me a setting and I’ll describe my OCs’ reactions to it!]

I'm loving these because this is straight up the worst setting on the list for these characters and it's BRILLIANT.

14. A party hosted by the ultra rich, with elaborate costumes being a must and refreshments and food galore–but also social expectations.

Oooouch. Phoenix hates overly fancy things, especially things that are just like that to show off someone's money. This rich party is that exact thing, y'unno?

One, the clothes. Phoenix would be expected to wear either her uniform or something like a neutral coloured black tux or dress. She likes colour! She likes bright red everything. Comfy clothes, not something form-fitting. Even in a costume, it wouldn't match what she'd want.

Two, the formality expected of her? She doesn't like talking with those who look down on her for her speech alone, especially when they take pride in saying overly long words that really don't mean what they think they do. Especially when they brag about doing things (like hoarding money) that Phoenix knows derives others of resources they need, and Phoenix can't call them out for it.

She'd basically give everyone the silent treatment, maybe drink as much as she's allowed and stand in the corner glowering.

#phoenix #phoenix is the hater of the rich party trope #she does it because she's first mate of a military vessel #and io and her are expected to attend these sorts of things #but she does the bare minimum to not embarrass her captain #io has a hard enough time on her own #anchored souls #switch the setting

I'm thinking about just how different it must be to be wealthy and consume media. Like, what do they think when a movie or a book is against rich people? What do they think when a cartoon or a tv show talks about the plight of the poor? Do they think "oh well I'm not like that!" And how do they relate to poor characters? If they do it at all. It's just so bizarre to me.

I know a few wealthy people. Not UBER rich but like... fairly wealthy. Maybe just "upper middle class" but wealthier than most people could ever dream of being. Relative to me, they're rich.

And the thing about rich people is they almost always frame themselves as not rich enough. If there is something they want but cannot afford, they aren't REALLY rich.

If they have a 6 bedroom home but can't afford a yacht, well, they aren't really rich. If they have a 6 bedroom home AND a yacht but can't afford a SECOND 6 bedroom vacation home, well, they aren't really rich. Or if they have that vacation home but their neighbor's house has .5 more bathrooms... it's like they don't even have a vacation home at all. (Note: None of the people I know are this level of wealthy, just giving examples.)

They know what it's like to suffer from not having the money for the things you "need."

And if they have things they want but money can't buy, well then they're time-poor, love-poor, whatever-poor which means it's just like being money-poor, isn't it? Those poor nepo babies didn't have loving parents, just like the rest of us. Only, y'unno, they went unloved with nannies, five play rooms, and designer clothes while the rest of us went unloved AND worrying about rent at an age where you shouldn't even KNOW about rent.

So they can't possibly be like the evil, greedy rich people in the movies because they don't have everything they want. They can't be like the evil, greedy rich people because they donate to charity (and then complain about taxes being used to help people in ways they don't get to control). They can't be like the villains because they work essential jobs like CEO. They aren't superfluous, they are the backbone of society.

And you know what... this happens across all types of privilege when consuming media. White people listen to Mitski sing about her struggles as an Asian American woman and relate to the alienation, not really internalizing... they are often the source of said alienation. Straight people watch a gay character get bullied and relate to feeling hurt by words but don't internalize their microaggressive comments about their gay cousin is the same shit the bully is saying.

People don't want to internalize that they are the bad guy in someone else's life, even if they didn't intend to be. To the rich, if they aren't spending money directly on hiring goons to stab poor people at random, they aren't the villains.

And, if they were ever poor before (or even just less rich), everyone is just jealous they made it out of poverty and no one realizes that they can still relate to the poor and therefore can't be taking advantage o them or anything like that.

Are you ever going to watch Sailor Moon Crystal or nah? I don’t if I’ll give it a chance tbh. I think I’d rather revisit the 90s anime, if anything.

I honestly don't think I'll ever revisit Sailor Moon. I kinda prefer it in the nostalgic tint I view it from, y'unno? Untainted and memorialized.
