#6: myself. a reflection

[thatisaloaf]

Moots do these

yes please

[terriblesolomons]

Ok but guys isn't it actually crazy how Eugene Roe's presence is literally defined by the ineffable silence of God....ep 6 has no narrative voice beyond the languageless vision of Roe's literal perspective....he brings with him silence in every episode he's in like the chaos after Jackson blows himself up stills completely when Doc runs in - they all go silent & frozen & breathless - when any man is wounded the very concept of words beyond orders fail...he talks about how Renee is blessed to calm the wounded she treats but it's evident that he brings with him something even graver than calm; it's unutterable, literally, it's a prayer, it's a response to the silence we meet (Roe meets) in his prayers (it's a reflection on the insane power we - they - have over our own - and their own - mortality - that silent and sometimes apparently godlike capacity to return (to the front lines) from the dead (that hell of lost brotherhood in the hospitals)?)

my mom told me I needed to just rest in the fact that I am a good teacher and I don’t need to be constantly on the lookout for improvement at every single second. it really helped tbh.

Hiii it's ask wave time~ who are ten of your favorite characters? They could all be from Bob's Burgers, or a mix! Don't worry it doesn't have to be ranked in order, and it doesn't even have to be ten if you don't want! Just who stands out to you?

yeeeey I saw you asking around and was wondering if I will be one of the lucky ones

So you know the deal

Dah, I mean dah, I love my bean, they're just too loud, too dramatic, too over the top and just unapologetically Geneself. I wish to have half of their confidence. And my bean is just too tiny and squishy.

Dah, I mean, dah. I wish to be this man, I wish to have his hot body, his smoking wonderful wife, his weird kids, and all and all, Bob is living his dream, he's living the dream, he might not be rich or famous or in anyway respected, but he's happy, and I fucking want that (and to have Calvin Fischoeder chasing my ass)

You may or may not know that I'm a South Park fan, and as a cliche, I'm in love with Kenny, many of my favorite episodes have him as the prota, and I honestly see him as pure but rotten soul, being one of the sweetest but sickest kids, so yeah, I love them, sue me (also Princess Kenny is everything to me)

...so you may or may not know I'm a fan of Trolls... I just love this grown as man with a soft sensible personality, the face of a baby, the voice of an angel, I just love him, I don't need to be right, I just want to be happy (also gay, gay af)

...So why do I love Branch? (a.k.a. Ramón para los panas) AGAIN I don't need to be right, he's my short-bi-versatile king, his my obsesive, neurotic, "i told you so", kind, understanding boyfriend

so you may or may not, okey ya paro con eso. Just so you know DogMan le pertenece a Latam thankiu very much. What can I say about this dramatic, traumado, tsundere cat you don't know? He's the real prota, he as a father, kill me. Love his gay ass.

You may or may not. Sorry, Mob Psycho 100 IS my FAVORITE ANIME, I dont take comments (except if is also your fav) and is mostly cause of this man. He's a trans masc failure of a man, and also the most admirable, capable and caring adult you would find in an anime. He's everything I wish to be. also trans masc icon. and gay.

Talking about more trans masc icons on the anime. jk jk....or am I? I... I feel Kirishima... I just, yeah this is silly, but I identify with him.

He took everything that he hated about himself, his weakness, and didn't erased them or deny them, he just change them. He decided to become the man he wanted to be.

AND HE DYE HIS HAIR, we are talking about an anime with a pink girl, a frog girl, a green hair prota, Kirishima could have just being red head. BUT is so important for his character, that he makes the effort, that he makes the job, he decide who he wants to be, how he wants to look every day.

I JUST LOVE THIS BOY DAMMIT. (also I only ever dye my hair red, so yeah he's me, if I was half as brave as him)

oh, also GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY, or bi, bi also sounds fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And with that thankiu for listening my TedTalk. Sorry for always answering late. I love doing this, even if no one ever read it.

I let many characters out and just notice I didnt put any woman or girl in this list, sorry I'm a man, and as a man and dont respect women, sorry (joking definitely joking)

thankiu again Babs you are the best love yah

Hi, I'm Nyx (nco)!

(8/1/25- sakasamashoujo -> nyxnco)

This is my main/personal/reblog blog! I don't recommend following me for any particular fandom since I reblog whatever, but that's ultimately up to you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My old main is @absolutedarkstar, I moved here after it got shadowbanned.

(additional info under the cut)

I'm a genderqueer trans guy and also very annoyingly aroace. I'm autistic, so I may be blunt with my speech at times (though this is the autism website so who's really surprised), and have adhd. A few other things too, but they're not exactly necessary to share here.

Asks are always okay! I might not respond immediately but I'm always delighted to see someone in my inbox :) DMs aren't limited to mutuals or anything but I'd rather you message me on my discord (nyxnco) if you want to talk to me directly

Also, I vent on here pretty often. If you don't want to see that but still want to follow me, the tag I put them under is listed in the last section for you to block. I tend to say things I don't truly mean when I'm emotional, please don't hold anything under there against me :')

I'm currently heavily fixated on Deltarune, Undertale (+Yellow), LOONA (the kpop group) and NMIXX (also a kpop group, and my ult group!) Past fixations include D4DJ, Honkai Impact 3rd, Adventure Forward (roblox), Murder Most Unladylike (Book series), Object Shows and other stuff I've likely forgotten as of writing this.

I am plural and my (not very often used) system blog is @floatingmoonlightcity. On the rare occasion that I post art, it's on here, under the #artchive tag. Most of our old art is on @absolutedarkstar (generally under the #art tag), on @eighttones (currently password protected), or reblogged to this blog, once again under the #artchive tag.

Tags-

#a nyx original - any original post i make, from text to pictures to videos to whatever. I also use this on my rants/vents for sorting purposes

#emotional nonsense - rant/vent tag, as stated earlier this is free to block.

#saves - posts im saving for later. pretty obvious

#faves - posts i like a lot :))

I'm not very consistent with my fandom tagging, and avoid tagging kpop stuff altogether. I'm lazy okay

thanks for reading this far if you have! I'll keep on editing this post until I've dropped dead so cherish whatever version of it you're seeing now LMAO

[emometalhead]

Feeling the academic burn out to the point where I straight up wrote that I'm burnt out in a reflective essay

[cats-in-the-clouds]

i keep getting stuck being forced to take classes i despise and that have no relevance to me so i’m going to go all malicious compliance on every single assignment and subtly insult the class material and/or professor

[thateclecticbitch]

thoughts in tags oops

funniest possible response to getting my gender marker changed

[expiredhusband]

That post thats like "why are you trans wrong answers only" but I can't say my mom thinks it's cuz I was molested LMAOOOOOAOAOAOAOOOOOOO

[sawxix]

do they finally fuck ive been following hacks exlusively through mutuals

the sex gifs are from a dream sequence in s1 I fear . based on what I've gathered from various interviews there appears to be a kind of writers room cold war over whether or not to Go There (although I don't think we r winning. Tragic)

edit: more thots I kind of started ranting ⬇️

but honestly I don't care either way, even if they did kiss or have sex or whatever it'd kind of be the least interesting thing about them? they have this incredibly fashioning layered dynamic where they're sort of everything to one another all at once (including other people in their lives, including mirrors into their own selves) n I think that unless you were the most skilled writer on the planet labeling it as exclusively one of those branches would make it less appealing? at least that's my take. it's unambiguously a love story yes but what makes it special is the way that there are a million different reads of said love

[truthundressing]

dont wanna big up myself but i got a job offer, a 70% on the most pressurised exam ive ever taken and excellent feedback on the first two chapters of my dissertation all within the last week...

Writing tips for long fics that helped me that no one asked for.

1.) Don't actually delete content from your WIP unless it is minor editing - instead cut it and put it in a secondary document. If you're omitting paragraphs of content, dialog, a whole scene you might find a better place for it later and having it readily available can really save time. Sometimes your idea was fantastic, but it just wasn't in the right spot.

2.) Stuck with wording the action? Just write the dialog then revisit it later.

3.) Stuck on the whole scene? Skip it and write the next one.

4.) Write on literally any other color than a white background. It just works. (I use black)

5.) If you have a beta, while they are beta-ing have them read your fic out loud. Yes, I know a lot of betas/writers do not have the luxury of face-timing or have the opportunity to do this due to time constraints etc but reading your fic out loud can catch some very awkward phrasing that otherwise might be missed. If you don't have a beta, you read it out loud to yourself. Throw some passion into your dialog, you might find a better way to word it if it sounds stuffy or weird.

6.) The moment you have an idea, write it down. If you don't have paper or a pen, EMAIL it to yourself or put it in a draft etc etc. I have sent myself dozens of ideas while laying down before sleep that I 10/10 forgot the next morning but had emailed them to myself and got to implement them.

7.) Remember - hits/likes/kudos/comments are not reflective of the quality of your fic or your ability to write. Most people just don't comment - even if they say they do, they don't, even if they preach all day about commenting, they don't, even if they are a very popular blog that passionately reminds people to comment - they don't comment (I know this personally). Even if your fic brought tears to their eyes and it haunted them for weeks and they printed it out and sent it to their friends they just don't comment. You just have to accept it. That being said - comment on the fic you're reading now, just do it, if you're 'shy' and that's why you don't comment the more you comment the better you'll get at it. Just do it.

8.) Remove unrealistic daily word count goals from your routine. I've seen people stress 1500 - 2000 words a day and if they don't reach that they feel like a failure and they get discouraged. This is ridiculous. Write when you can, but remove absurd goals. My average is 500 words a day in combination with a 40 hour a week job and I have written over 200k words from 2022-2023.

9.) There are dozens of ways to do an outline from precise analytical deconstruction that goes scene by scene to the minimalist bullet point list - it doesn't matter which one you use just have some sort of direction. A partial outline is better than no outline.

10.) Write for yourself, not for others. Write the fic you know no one is going to read. Write the fic that sounds ridiculous. You will be so happy you put it out in the world and there will be people who will be glad it exists.
