I love Mel and I'm glad so many people agree on her beauty, she is a gorgeous, breathtakingly majestic black woman and I'm glad she's appreciated but istg mfs only ever talking about how attractive she is rather than her intelligence and complex morality.
Everyone wants a morally grey woman character until she's black suddenly it's crickets in the crowd. Ik it's not usually intentional but (typically white) people have such an inate unwillingness to discuss poc (Especially woc) characters beyond surface level and it's annoying asf
#implicit bias#or whatever#im black tag#do i main tag this... usually idgaf but like i dont rlly fw the arcane fandom and fear in liable to get jumped 💀#white fandom#arcane#grahah doing it anyway bc i want organization on my blog please good white liberals do not attack me..#moth.txt#mel medarda

Hrm you know I sort of think that people kind of miss out on the beauty of Kanaya having a "type" for "dangerous women" when they fail to account for the fact that Kanaya too is a dangerous woman. Like don't get me wrong, it's a very different type of dangerous. Kanaya is attracted to women with an impulsive, self-destructive kind of danger. Women who throw themselves into situations headfirst and a lot of the time will stumble out on the other side a little worse for wear (but they're effective, still, and that makes it thrilling). But like Kanaya has such a deliberate and relentless violence to her, a dangerous woman who keeps herself dormant until the time is right, but when she lets herself out she hits hard and fast (and she's also very effective, this is also quite thrilling). Things I've been rotating a lot, I think it's fun to view Kanaya's love for dangerous women less like she's a passive woman admiring and taking care of women she cannot control, and more like her enjoying the company of forces just as threatening and dangerous as she is, but a touch more chaotic in their methods
#talk tag#kanaya maryam#vriskan#rosemary#(as like. implicit tags)#ive been thinking way too much abt kanaya lately. i blame the heat#anyways i think lack of control is like A Thing for kanaya but i don't think it's in Incapability thing so much as she has to come to learn#how to assert herself#perhaps a little undertapped but she has it in her. she did punch vriska in the face eventually!#homestuck

do you have any docs about the conlang and/or conscript? i just found your art and that immediately stood out as incredibly cool. i wanna write some funny stuff
The majority of my conlang stuff is written on graph paper held together with a paperclip or a spreadsheet file on my computer, so I do not have much easily accessible to share. Hm...
The vocabulary is currently... quite measly ever since I bulldozed everything and killed it all dead. So fleshing out vocabulary and whatnot is what I have to work on next. Grammar is similarly rudimentary but it was never intended to be very complex. A lot of information wouldn't be encoded verbally, only through pheromones and body language.
#TX1#my ocs#beebfreeb art tag#Last year I got mad and started over on a lot of worldbuilding stuff in regards to these guys and then I haven't touched it much since#earlier this year. So things are a little all over the place. Lol. However I hope you enjoy what I do have. Teehee#There are various sister languages to TX1KT I haven't developed.#You might have noticed my bug phonetics. I did this because there is something really really wrong with me.#Anyway there is a vowel but it is implicit. Because there is only one.#It is a sound made via a tymbal-like organ so it sounds a bit like a cicada but deeper#I ought to sit down one day and make words#and then another day I want to put everything into a nice tidy file that I can share online#instead of my evil wizard's tome

boarding schools (and Hillerska specifically) in fact and fiction
The results of this poll about whether or not you’d want to attend Hillerska have been revolving around in my head over the past few days. I flippantly voted yes (spoiled Swedish teens feel like a piece of cake compared to reality at the moment) but in practice generally agree with many of the reasons stated in the no column. So, if you did vote no and say why, know that I agree with you. This isn’t a post to argue against you or anything, this is just an extended wondering about something else.
At the same time, I noticed that we heard a lot from the nos and not as much from the yeses in response to this poll. In complete earnest, I wish we could have heard more from the yeses. (If you did vote yes and want to message me about your ideas one on one, I’d love to hear from you and I promise I don’t bite.) I’m curious to know if some of the same things about Hillerska-as-a-setting appealed to you as did me when I first started watching the show. Because it’s an engaging enough setting that I, you know, do own the Hillerska hoodie and all.
On one hand:
I do want to acknowledge how, in creating Hillerska, the writers drew on harrowing stories of real boarding schools—class hierarchy, insular social mores, outdated traditions, secrets, horrific acts of hazing. The writers researched all of this, interviewing former students, and incorporated that into Young Royals to increase the sense of realism and play to the show’s class commentary.
On the other hand:
I also started thinking about how the show leans into boarding schools as a literary device. In youth-centered fiction, boarding schools are a kind of liminal setting that facilitates independence from adults and a higher level of agency for teenage protagonists. These teens are called to make decisions and sort out conflicts amongst themselves. There’s this idea of, who can you become without your family looking over your shoulder? In what ways do you feel pressured to be like them, or to break away from them? And all the gothic architecture and uniforms and secrets and traditions are easy for writers to convey through a lens of romanticism.
And… Young Royals does not fully reject that romanticism. Indeed, it embraces it often. It uses the romantic boarding school angle to market the show and grab our attention—for example, see all the promo material where the characters are in their uniforms getting photographed for student picture day and such. The creative team offers us the romanticism of boarding school the same way they offer us the romanticism of intense first loves between princes and commoners.
I actually think Wilhelm and Simon’s relationship and Hillerska-the-liminal-space as a setting are very much intertwined. Hillerska is a catalyst for Wilhelm and Simon’s relationship; if Wilhelm fell in love with Simon in a club or on a train, and not in the school chapel where Simon is singing a solo in defiance of posh students who heckle him, their story would be completely different. I can’t (personally) imagine Wilhelm and Simon’s story without the beats of school parties in the Palace, or their hugs-in-white-nightgowns on Lucia night, or their stupid grins at one another during rowing practices, or their stolen kiss at the Valentine’s ball. The school provides a lot of obstacles to their relationship but it also facilitates these iconic moments of connection between the two of them, and I feel like in the first two seasons at least that’s supposed to matter.
And maybe, stick with me here, but I don’t… think it’s like, wrong, or hypocritical or whatever, that YR leans into romanticism and realism re: Hillerska at the same time? I actually think it’s pretty common in school-focused stories to put these two modes of storytelling in dialogue with one another? The romantic (in the literary sense, not the conventional) elements of a boarding school story are there to honor the tempestuous emotions of the teenage characters in their coming of age, as they bump up against adult pressures and the first hints of the “realistic” adult world. (I’m thinking about like, Dead Poet’s Society, and A Separate Peace, and A Great and Terrible Beauty as other examples of this. They all make social commentary through their setting but they also immerse you in it and sweep you up into it.)
I know Hillerska doesn’t survive the series and Wilhelm and Simon’s relationship does, and I’ve heard that after season 3 there were some things said in interviews and some extremely mixed messages about the setting at times. But also like… look. For all the later stumbles with the writing, I’m a slut for setting and a slut for setting as a way to reveal character arcs and facilitate relationships and Hillerska is a setting that captivated me from the beginning and it’s a lot of what made Young Royals what it was.
No I would not want to attend the school in real life as a real life human. Yes I would love to spend more time there in fiction because that is how fiction works, you get to explore settings you wouldn’t want to explore in real life. Go ahead and accuse me of being at the devil’s sacrament because didn’t we all meet at the devil’s sacrament?
Credit goes to @heliza24 for the devil’s sacrament joke because she’s smarter and funnier than me.
#young royals#hillerska#wilmon#yrs3 criticism#(more implicit but I’m adding the tag just in case)#like idk sometimes in the fandom’s rush to interpret the social commentary of the show#and come out on the “right” side of things#it feels like we gloss over some of the story’s emotional texture?#and don’t sit in its tensions and contradictions?#and i know there were writing problems#as well as statements made in interviews about how to receive certain characters and plots#but i also feel like i made my own meanings#that i want to keep exploring in fanfiction and fanworks#and the hillerska setting is an important part of that exploration for me#i know it isn’t for everyone#but it is for me#and i also see it as part of a broader tradition of stories about schools#a tradition that has always interested me#a tradition that i want to write in myself in my original fiction#i hope all that makes sense#getting a little emotional here tonight at the devil’s sacrament

Oho, it's Assigned a (possibly) NSFW rating on Tumblr.com time!
I find it sort-of hilarious, but speaking more seriously I have no idea how the adult content labels operate right now. (was it marked by a bot because it's beige? did someone ask to mark it?)
#I mean - there is some implicit eroticism to it of course but idk they're both fully dressed#(nobody in their sane mind wears a plate leg harness on bare skin)#I may have a warped idea but I think it barely breaks 12+ age ratings - maybe 16+ if you're extra strict#I feel like applying 'erotic art' to it for showing some hands touching a knee would practically fall under false advertisement XD#is it the case where the cropping of the image makes it look *way more* sultry?#anyway please sound off if You need it tagged or something#Jokes aside - I try my best to not make people uncomfortable#delete later

Baldur's Gate is not a small city, and there's never a shortage of kids running on its streets. Fighting, stealing, making a name for themselves. Creating their own crews and sticking to them, mostly. That being said, if you grew up on the same streets, you probably crossed paths at least once. Even if you're unlikely to remember it...
When Karlach was talking about her childhood, I couldn't help but think: what are the chances that Vice, a street urchin from the same city and of approximately similar age, ever met her?
Wouldn't that be cute.
#bg3#baldurs gate 3#baldur's gate 3#karlach#female tav#bg3 tav#karlach x tav#not implicit but implied in case of my particular tav#feat a special guest appearance from Ur - whose form Vice's guardian later took#backgrounds are very blurred screenshots from the city reveal trailer#also like I dunno if kid tieflings grow their full horn shape as children or if it's a maturing thing#but for the sake of visual consistency let's say they do#tav posting#art tag

There's something special about Moon being the only side of the DCA who has canonically (gameverse) voiced his counterpart's name ("No more Sun", which yes it's not him directly saying Sun's name since it's a figure of speech, but still) whereas Sun - the chatterbox - only refers to Moon via "he" or "other me". Moon, the quiet one who mostly laughs vs Sun who mostly uses words. Sun, who is scared of Moon, never utters his name whereas Moon clearly has no problem with it. Both of them using "we☀️/us🌙" prior to Eclipse. Moon, whose only opinion of Sun we can infer is "the other me trapped me in light so now I trap him in shadow", vs Sun's whole thing which is profoundly more fleshed out.
I don't know man, the "no more Sun" line always did things to me. I remember playing Ruin for the first time and getting this... jarring emotion when I heard Moon saying that. It's such a small line but good god did I latch onto it.
#dca#daycare attendant#villain.text#fnaf#I have an entire post on my fandom side blog hidden in my drafts#about the way sun and moon refer to themselves and each other#and it's really fun#sun refers to himself as an I more often than moon does btw#which is probably because of the way moon structures is sentences#moon rarely puts himself as a subject to he barely talks about himself#example: bad children must be found vs I will find you#it's implicit he'll find you but he doesn't say it#you must be punished vs I'll punish uou#you*#he only really says I in the deleted voiceline of 'im putting you in time out'#sun is the one who structures his sentences more 'normally' and tends to speak of himself and has mo qualms with being the subject of his#own sentences#I'm rambling#maybe I'll post that one day#I'm a bit shy#sorry for the typos in the tags I can't correct it on mobile#also moon speaks in a much more childish manner. which I guess can be creepy#but I always found horror things like that cute rather than scary lmao#I am once again so sad they didn't use the dca to prop up vanny/vanessa. how fun would it be to get a line like that from vanny.#telling gregory there is no more night guard woman only rabbit lady. and then he saves her.

Gonna say it again, "Just stop consuming the genre" is THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSE to someone complaining about the lack of representation in their preferred genre!! And "Consume other stuff too" is not much better!!! I don't care how much you think varying media consumption is a Good and Holy lifestyle, not everyone wants to do that! There is no obligation to do that and there should not be! Because it's fucking entertainment. It's not a college major.
And! And and and. I would be remiss to not point out that when you tell someone, "If you want well written (minority) just get out of (genre fandom)" you are, regardless of your motivations, rhetorically aligning yourself with the exact same bigots who just want the pro-representation crowd to shut up and go away.
#I don't know how people can say “shonen is written for teen boys so obviously you're the idiot for wanting good rep from it”#as if teen boys don't also deserve stories with well-written diverse casts??#as if the poor reactions they often have to diversity are just inherent to their boyish nature and not a result of a widespread lack of rep#as if diverse casts in popular media aren't A PROVEN WAY to reduce implicit biases against groups of people on a very large scale#you people are dogs. how can you unironically say “this genre was made for teen boys so everyone else should stfu and gtfo”#and not immediately see that you've just aligned yourself with the actually bad people in the fandom#these stances also perfectly miss the point of “I love this genre and want to see a flaw in it corrected” because they are overwhelmingly..#...written by people who do not love the genre in question and are not interested in loving the genre#like yeah ultimately I understand that most of these posts don't give a true shit about helping people find rep in media#their main purpose 99% of the time is to publicly gloat about their supposedly superior media fixations#It's a real autism on autism violence (internet style) so I find it contemptible in a way that pulls all the muscles of my face downwards#“haw haw read another book (the ones I incidentally find engaging) and stop reading your dumb idiot books (the ones you find engaging)”#you can actually shut up tho that's the thing#you can just not say anything and make the world a better place Luigi Marioparty style#it's a wonderful strategy to use#if you've read through all these tags then 1. I thank you and 2. I have a little request if you're willing to give me more thought & time:#try to pay close attention the next few times you're talking about broad media fandoms which you aren't a part of#watch those little twinges in your chest and ask yourself#“is what I'm saying true? do I actually know enough to say that? what is the point of what I'm saying here? what do I want these ppl to do?#I think we all get caught up in Media Gloating sometimes#if you find that your thoughtless comments become concerning after you put thought into them#maybe it's time to not make them#or to even (as a totally random example) make a post arguing AGAINST those comments#because guess what? your bad take there was probably not yours alone; I'd wager 1000 other similar people have made similar takes#but they're not all gonna reflect on that unprompted; that's where you can come in#shonen#lgbtq representation#female representation#representation in media#queer representation

“don’t talk about fic you don’t like” “well you consented to reading the moment you clicked the link” “we’re doing this for free you know” at some point you guys will learn that fanfiction is part of fandom the same as everything else and this will be critiqued like everything else and you are not in fact paragons of goodness and virtue that are beyond the same reproach everyone in fandom gets
#like you want to be considered real literature but u can’t handle the scrutiny real lit gets?#sorry but if i don’t like a fic i will blog about it#don’t like don’t read 😁#and also. as always. i wouldn’t be bitching if you guys were less stupid about tagging triggers#and you are not above criticisms wrt implicit bias. if i can bitch about authors who are writing dumb shit i will bitch about fandom.#rani makes text posts no one will read

ok i hate those ambiguous math notation ragebait posts so so much. however. it's worse when the notation is not ambiguous and someone is insisting that it is
#numbers do not lie#<- they do sometimes but thats my math tag lol#anyway. not even TOUCHING the post i dont want to subject everyone to it#and like. disclaimer that notation can vary. and that im being pretentious about this. BUT#you know the multiplication notation with parentheses where you have a thing sort of attached to outside of the parentheses?#like 5(x+3). that's called implicit multiplication#it's clear in that notation that the 5 and the (x+3) are like. together. that is One Thing. it's just split up into factors#8 [division sign] 2(2+2) is NOT ambiguous notation specifically BECAUSE of the implicit multiplication#it takes priority over the division sign. that 2 and that (2+2) are glued together#and so the 8 is divided by both of them. they go TOGETHER on the denominator#it would be ambiguous if they had used a multiplication sign instead of implicit multiplication#this is WHY people use implicit multiplication!#well also because mathematicians are lazy and always want to use as few symbols as possible lol#idk i dont have words to explain this more formally but math makes so much more sense when you forget order of operations#and just think of the numbers as things attached together in various ways#not things you are Doing Something To in a specific order#makes the grammar of it much easier to grasp imo#math is about relationships a lot more than it's about sequences of steps

I feel like some people need to seriously remember that their whiteness comes before any other kind of marginalized identity and thats not erasure or anything that's literally just the truth
#if you are white that is the first thing people will notice before they realize you dont pass or smth#like the way implicit bias is soooo just. There. but at the same time white people dont seem to consciously think about race is crazy#like white = default to them so unless theyre actively talking about poc no one else but them is taken into consideration#moth.txt#im black tag#this is somwthing a think about a looottt and wish i didn't bc its so like. obvious? i guess. it doesnt need explaining but also it Does

hey i would prefer if those under 18 didn’t interact with my nsfw posts. it’s for your safety and my comfort. i don’t care if it’s like shitposts but otherwise i may start blocking some minors following me.
#i thought this was implicit to tagging it at all but i guess that was naivety. block the tag or i block you.#like if i post memes with the words 'sex' or 'pussy' or whateva you can interact#but if it's just me talking about sex. then LOOK AWAY.#i will judge for myself and block as i see fit but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF G-D STAY SAFE OUT THERE !
