Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you

#art #comic #sonic the hedgehog #sth #shadow the hedgehog #infinite the jackal #sonic fanart #sonic #sonic forces #My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL #I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny #I'm gonna shove him in a locker #Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem #He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans #The bones of a good character are there it’s just the writing of this game failed him So Bad #Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I can’t stop thinking about it because of its missed potential #Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

#i did not expect this show to be this good #i thought that when people said it was great they meant great at being a sitcom-ish parody comedy #not great at plot action character development deep emotional things i'm not ready to talk about and literally everything #it is so much more that what it looks like #season 1 grabbed me by the balls and then season 2 wrecked me #i have no idea about what to expect at this point #mob psycho 100 #anime #memes #em blabbers

I think people tend to assume that any criticism of worldbuilding is ultimately a demand for a story to grind itself to a halt and give the reader 20 paragraphs of exposition, and like. Most of the time good-faith criticism of this nature is coming from a core aspect of the story not being grounded in the setting in a way that outright detracts from the story's quality. You fix it not by Explaining but by Showing it passively in the makeup of the world.

Like the last instance I saw this critique in was like 'you can't expect an author to stop and exposit the nuances of gender roles/Queerness in a fictional society' and it's like yeah I don't, and in fact this is actually one of the easiest things to show in the text without exposition. If a society has gender norms to begin with you'll see aspects of these norms baked into EVERYTHING. You'll see it in its stories, its religion, its taboos, its etiquette, its clothing, its family structures, its language, its insults, its labor, its leadership, etc. It will have massive impacts on how characters interact with one another and how they perceive themselves. It will help Shape your characters.

If you do this legwork to begin with for the core facets of your story, you will find very natural places for these concepts to be demonstrated without derailing the plot and with little to no exposition. THAT sort of thing is what's being asked of you.

#Extremely comprehensive worldbuilding about every facet of a society is ultimately just for fun. It's not necessary for good writing.#But if you're doing any form of speculative fiction you need to at least do the legwork for the things that drive the plot/characters #Your story won't work as well if you don't #Like if the central storyline in a spec fiction setting is a gay story arc I don't expect you to have the fucking salt economy #meticulously fleshed out to justify where and how your character got the salt offhandedly mentioned in a meal.#I DO expect you to have given more than superficial thought about gender norms.#(also for the gender norms example this Does Not just go for societies with a patriarchy or other gendered hegemony lol)

Okay obviously what K did is fucking insane but also a perfect escalation of their "I can fix him" energy from season one and the extreme consequences of that belief

#misfits and magic #dimension 20 #mismag liveblog #re what happened at the very end of the episode #live so fucking insane but also so fucking good as a plot beat and character choice

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

My grades are suffering and so are they

#shimura tenko #tenko shimura #tomura shiragaki #shigaraki tomura #shirakumo oboro #oboro shirakumo #kurogiri #mha #my hero academia #bnha #boku no hero academia #I seriously need this fandom to lock tf in and start making more fics centered around them #and without any ships taking all the focus in the story. I’m sick of that #I mean. having ships in the story is good. I like that #but in this fandom they tend to take away protagonism from other relationships #like bro #there are so many interesting plotpoints to explore in mha #but for some reason most ppl only care about the ships #like bb open your third eye and see the vision #also. why are most shigaraki fics pretty much only about Izuku #boy you’re already the main character in canon. step away for a bit #au where afo takes several years to recover from all might’s beating #in that time Kurogiri breaks from the mind control enough to see that Tomjra’s being abused and they run away #but duun duuun duuuun afo finally recovers and is pissed af bc both his no u and his succesor ran away #uuhhh smth smth all might and nana smth smth rooftop trio #maybe add the vigilantes cast in there. why tf not. Kurogiri and Tenko are on the streets rn they might run into eachother #bam there’s a plot. simple enough #I do also like fics that age Tenko down. makes it easier for him to interact with 1A #like that one fic in which he infiltrates ua. u know the one. that’s the good shit #ma art

Usually finding out you have something in common with a new acquaintance is a positive thing, but sometimes it's extremely dangerous. If I meet someone who's also into writing, that's like an even 50/50 on whether we should be best friends OR whether every time they open their mouth I will be manfully restraining myself from fistfighting them on the sidewalk outside this bougie downtown brunch spot.

#grace for ts #it's because of the unspoken social pressure to Engage People On Things You Have In Common #oh we both like writing? we should talk about writing. we should offer to read each others work. we should form a club #when in actuality maybe i like this person just fine #but their writing is like a radioactive toxin to my soul #and we should just be friendly acquaintances while Never Once Mentioning Writing Again #sometimes its not wanting to tell someone you don't like their stuff cause it's just bad. and they should come back in a couple years #sometimes its people wanting engagement and concrit on their characters and plot #while handwaving the fact that their grammar spellilng and prose craft is just atrocious #like 'oh that can be fixed later!!'#okay but I can't SEE your CHARACTERS AND PLOT through the smoking wreck of the english language you've produced #sometimes it's just a having different style preferences thing (which is sometimes the worst bc it's Good i just Dont Like It)#sometimes its the guy who enthusiastically tells me about his cosmic horror story #and how he sometime asks AI to 'cormac mccarthy it up a little bit'. but only sometimes so it's fine #my eternal quest for a real life writing group continues to crash and burn
