Something, something, feeling like your writing is getting less attention the better you get at it
grumble, grumble, feeling like an ungrateful bastard for being annoyed with lack of engagement
sigh, sigh, wondering if you should just write some more smut because that seems to be what people wanna read
something, grumble, sigh, ugh
#i know im just being unbrateful and bitchy#but idk man#it really does feel that way sometimes#people loved stuff i wrote a year ago that i can look back on and see (now) is deeply deeply flawed#then i feel like im writing much better stuff and it feels like no-one is interested#maybe because i am moving away from more fanfiction-y tropes and narration?#i dunno#ignore me honestly im just a grumpy bastard#its just kinda sad to pour my heart into stuff that it feels like no-one wants to see#maybe i should just be writing original stuff#but it used to be so fun posting fic and chatting with people#i guess i just want that back#but idk how#anyway obviously the problem is me and my writing#its not the audiences fault#ugh#as i say#ignore me#just venting a little bit

something something bobby nash & dean winchester, formerly suicidal characters killed off by shitty showrunners, only once they were finally at peace with their lives and building a home with their families, just for idk shock value???? i'm hitting two (2) bald men with hammers :)
#idc if kripke wasnt the showrunner at that point. it was still his fault#and idc if this doesnt stick (i still dont think it will but that goodbye letter from peter made me waver im not gonna lie)#its still shitty storytelling and disrespectful to the characters and the audience. and the actors for that matter.#last night i was sad today im MAD#911#911 spoilers#911 abc#bobby nash#dean winchester#spn#supernatural

my mom watches a lotta soaps, and there's this one plot in one of her favorite shows that pisses us both off so much: two college kids, drunk off their asses, have sex. the next day, the girl realizes she can't even remember it clearly, and feels, understandably, somewhat violated. the boy does not regret it, and is labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life.
this scenario bothers me so much cause like. they were BOTH drunk. if she couldn't consent, then neither could he. two people having sex while both are incapacitated (without negotiating beforehand) is dangerous, and perhaps traumatizing, but it's bio-essentialist bullshit to say that the guy must be the one at fault just because he's the guy and isn't reacting the same way she is. sometimes things happen that are bad and its not really any one person's fault.
anyway what a stupid and radical feminist-y way to approach consent >:/
#like she just keeps saying 'if i cant remember then i cant have consented'#and thats fair! she's totally in the right to feel gross about it after the fact!#but how does that make it HIS fault when he was just as drunk??#why does his incapacitation not matter?#its just a dumb show but its alarming that that's apparently an attitude the audience is supposed to agree with

i can’t believe that i’m genuinely unsure if i want to actually finish chapter 4
#i did not have fun playing chapter 3 & hearing people talk about the difficulty spike in fights and such makes me nervous. i got up to#meeting gerson/oberon smog and i do want to see that story beat through but….idk if the rest will be that worth it to me though#idk. i don’t think it’s bad or a poor decision to have an audience of People Who Are Good At Video Games in mind but as someone who isn’t#really a gamer deltarune grabbed me as a story & with its metanarrative. without that i just kind of don’t enjoy playing it & if i can’t#access that at my skill level it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it :/ and it makes me frustrated because i know that it’s my fault i don’t#enjoy it#i saw someone else who struggled with the difficulty who said that it was fine but it felt like deltarune simply wasn’t for *them* anymore#and that’s kind of where i’m at too. the first two chapters are still really special to me but it’s just clear that i’m not the intended#audience now lol#very interested in what i saw people talking about with further weird route developments so i know i want to look into that but otherwise 🙃#deltarune spoilers#<- in tags

The line in the tomb of the dragons about Ceredin keeping the wastrels from Maia got me thinking about Maia's old life at Edonomee. The entirety of the staff, no matter how much they love him, or don't love him, or remember him, or even just think fondly of him, they'll never get to see this kid they watched over for eight years ever again... Even if they could scrape together the funds to escape Edonomee and Edonara, assuming they could find their way to Cetho, they'd never get close to the Emperor
#anyways im contemplating a fic where Aäno#heavily pregnant#somehow manages to bypass all of this#either by trickery/connections/whatever#and makes the very bold implication that the baby shes carrying is Maia's#and before maia can get a word in ceredin is like#no its fine i dont even care if tahts your bastard kid but you have to fess up so we can like. do something Abt it#and Maia is like beautiful wife beloved lady that is NOT my child#i am virginal#and ceredin is like oh! lol and then aäno is finally granted a private audience#and she admits maias not the father she just needed to talk to him#because the cook is sick or something and they can't afford the medicine/travel to heal her#idk just the idea of Aäno very casually calling the Emperor of the ethuveraz Maia in front of the entire court#(she does not have palace manners)#and ceredin is like offended but not sure why#(it's because ceredin has not even been granted the intimacy of the informal first let alone the informal second)#and Aäno is already more trusted and beloved by the emperor#anyway i know canonically the staff and maia might not have been that close#but i choose to believe that's Setheris' fault and NOT for lack of warmth between them#and also because i want more Aäno on screen#tge#the goblin emperor#maia drazhar

We cut from Cas and Jody to the exterior of Jody's house. A phone vibrates

The phone continues as we move through the kitchen, a case of beer on the counter by the window

Looks like the noise from Castiel's phone woke up someone.

Why, its Alex Jones! (as a pony) She must have had a late shift last night.

She answers the phone, it is Sam calling, he relays a message to her to pass to Cas, 'Let Cas know we made it to Garth's place.' That's the main thing to note from this conversation we see one side of.

Alex says a few words, some less polite which is to be expected at this early hour, so Sam thanks her and mentions passing along a 'Hello' to the others (Claire, Jody, Jack) for him. Sam hangs up the phone and turns the engine of the car off. He turns around-

-and tells Dean to get up. Looks like Dean had a rough night and wanted to get a bit more sleep before trudging through research with Garth today.

Weary, but glad to have made it to Garth's in relatively good time, Sam unloads his saddle pack with his road gear and clothes, and some books from the library that may be helpful for identifying the monster Garth has been tracking. Dean is not awake enough for this. However, Garth and Bess certainly are as they greet the brothers eagerly.

The werewolf ponies have more dog like tails and fangs, and bright welcoming smiles. A stark contrast to the burly hunters that just arrived. Three curious faces are in the window, it is Gertie, Sam, and Castiel, Bess and Garth's kids. It had been some time since the Winchesters last saw them, but they seem well.

Inside the main entrance, Bess escorts Sam and Dean to Garth's hunting office where the three will run over the case and what they know for certain. Sam and Dean believe it may be a non-native monster, something that hitched a ride and is becoming a problem to local wildlife and people. They are planning on staying a couple days before driving the twelve hours back to the bunker, so Bess and Garth set up the guest room for them to rest between scrambling over lore and the actual hunt.

Bess comments on the last time they saw each other, when the Winchesters were out of luck. The Chuck situation was messy, and in the supernatural in my head a lot of minor things got rewritten which changed the outcomes and some development to make things make sense but I'm not getting into that. All you need to know is that Chuck is not god anymore and they are alive. Dean has accepted his fate of being hugged by Garth (the strength of whom he will never get used to)
(part five btw)

Rebecca A. Brown. 'Of Radioactive Sprites and Diminutive Tyrants: Hammer’s Monstrous Children' + Dustin Freeley, 'The Monstrous Child Replacement and Repetition in The Shining' from Monstrous Children and Childish Monsters
#every time i post an excerpt on here know that im 100% thinking about it in relation to sam#despite the Apocalypse really being a cascading tragedy where both brothers are equally culpable for starting it#sam as the original *monstrous* body becomes the one to shoulder the blame at a story level#always thinking on the show's failure to fully subvert its premise (one son as the Hero and the other as the Monster)#bc it mostly plays those story mechanics straight (and that's where audience sympathy gets directed)#even when it tries to metatextually address the idea like look! both of them are trying to escape their destined roles!#also audiences will always b predisposed to absorbing stories this way bc it's so culturally ingrained#a Hero is the central figure who draws your empathy. now look at a story and tell me who you think is its least sympathetic figure?#there lies the Monster. not a ghoul or a vampire or a villain. but the unknowable outsider#the hero as the knowable heart of a story and the monster in order to remain as its scapegoat - always becomes unknowable#even when the story gives you enough material to sympathise with the both of them!!!!!!!#hence why sam somehow being a boring blank slate or an incomprehensible freak is such a common interpretation here#does the fault lie in the writers or in an audience unwilling and unpracticed at empathising with a scapegoat?#OK THAT'S ENOUGH of being annoying and pretentious back to pending life admin#sam monstrosity studies#lit recs#j.txt

Wish youtube video essayists would write a goddamn introduction paragraph. Did your english teachers teach you nothing? Why is the first 30 minutes of your argument the hook? Tell me your goddamn thesis statement and quit wasting my time
#gopher rambles#'Its for audience retention gopher' theyre not retaining my ass#I'm far more willing to finish a video if I have been given a clearly stated thesis within the first 10 minutes of the runtime.#I will gladly hear out an argument if it's put together well#also to clarify: if your english teacher did not teach you how to write and essay then thats not your fault. You were failed.#however. if you are going to WRITE an essay you may consider brushing up on how that process goes. I assure you there are a lot of resource#and there is no shame in seeking them out

#i needed some minutes to get my thoughts together but this is a more cohesive ... thing of what i feel? idk#i feel like theres just no balance. obvs they debuted at a difficult time and it wouldve been hard to push it back bc of the members etc#its either theyre ignored (quite literally) or they get fucked over. why is there no balance between keeping their essence and also promo#like its SM's fucking fault that they didnt reach their actual potential. and it's their fault on how they handled lu/as' scandal.#if you weren't going to add him back to the group. why did you waste almost two years of their time for no reason? i just dgi. it always#makes me feel sad to see that clip of ten spoiling phantom at a kick back stage. they had their next cb planned like... idek#i feel from omy onwards when they shifted under prism. theyve had a different sound and their focus feels just on the kn audience#which is WILD. they have 127 and dream as it is. and it was a wayv song that got cn banned from being sung on national tv so... ?#sm wants cn money but no effort with their cn group. and this comeback has just pissed me off ngl. i like the songs and the aes but what#is the aim? what audience are we trying to cater to? krn? global? cn? okay. you fucked up in the past but look at what the fans are saying#what they like. phantom was their cb and it broke records. personal and otherwise. why arent we sticking to this? why arent are there no cn#bsides. and ill never forgive them for blaming wayv and kun. i really never will.#and about the sc situation. i think he can do as he pleases and im happy with whatever he picks. but the purposeful sabotaging of wayv & him#shifting the dates so he cant participate. .. SM you'll implode by my hand i promise. and then his fans coming to shit on wayv like they#personally told him not to participate. ridiculousness from both sides.#i don't think its that hard to experiment but also stay with what was liked originally. if theyre a chinese group. give them some cn songs.#to add on. i personally believe they shifted the dates bc lu/as debut was a complete money waste and they desperately needed another avenue.#egg.co

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.
#this post brought to you by: me bingeing Sam & Darlin's entire storyline over the past few days and having a Lot of feelings abt it#asmr#audio roleplay#rp audio stuff#redacted audio#anyways i don't have a conclusion to this post. and i'm not Mad or Upset or anything i'm just thinkin' out loud#and i mean it's not like it doesn't get plenty of praise within its respective audience bc it does. at least for the more popular creators#but i feel it'll still always have the shadow of its cringe reputation looming over it#which makes it hard for some ppl to openly appreciate or share with others that aren't already fans of the medium#like do u know how many comments i've seen along the lines of 'this is great but i'd die if anyone knew i liked this kinda stuff' ?? :(#idk maybe i feel strongly about it bc i'm a self-insert fanfic writer. and i feel like the two have a lot in common. including a bad rep.#like. not every audio will be well-written or produced and neither will every fanfic. but that doesn't mean it's a less legitimate artform#and i'm lucky to have never (yet) received negative comments on my work. but that doesn't mean that it doesn't make me sigh when people-#-say shit like 'this reads like fanfiction' as a way of calling something bad. or other similar sentiments that make the same implication#and i wouldn't be surprised if audio creators feel the same way when they encounter certain comments or statements#like. those YT videos where ppl will 'try bf asmr for the first time' or whatever and it's just 20 mins of cringing and over-reacting? eugh#tbf i haven't watched many bc why do that to myself. so Maybe there's some that are respectful but still. imagine getting roasted like that#and yes yes i know that by posting stuff online you're inadvertently sighing up to be criticized by Anyone but still. man. i dunno#i'm going on a tangent but my point is. i'm grateful for the creators that still make their art in spite of the public's perception of it#bc some of the most impactful emotional experiences i've ever gained from fiction took place in audio rp and i'm so serious abt that.#anyways. this post almost feels like i'm 'making up a person to be mad at' but i promise it's not that serious i'm just yapping. mostly.#certainly not trying to start any kind of debate or anything either i just have a lot of fixation-induced energy and nowhere to put it#this is Eric's fault (/lh) for cooking Sam up in a lab catered exactly to my taste and making Darlin' waaaaay too painfully relatable#but it's also My fault for bingeing the Inversion /and/ the Quinn arc /and/ the Summit all within a couple days. but i can't help myself#feels like i've run an emotional marathon. triathlon. The Emotional Olympics if u will. i'm feeling Everything#who knew that beating the shit out of ur fictional abuser could feel so goddamn cathartic! it's a nice replacement when u can't do it irl#anyways i'm off on a tangent again. thanks for coming to my TED Talk i'm gonna crawl back in my hole now#actually i'm gonna go relisten to a few audios. as Research for my Sam & Darlin' playlist as well as a post i'll be making about it soon#u Know i've got it bad when i not only make a playlist but start Posting on here about the songs that remind me of them. i'm cooked guys.

if netflix makes Luo Ji non-chinese I'm going to throw myself off a fucking cliff
#*incoherent screaming*#if i have to see another “but netflix has to make the characters appeal to the bigger audience” comment im going to fucking lose it#i have a bar of deviation for adaptations. examples:#lotr: its all fine and dandy i love it#the hobbit: getting a little close to dangerous territory but i'll take it#dune: perfection#foundation: no wtf#rop: DO NOT FUCKING SPEAK TO ME OF THIS SHOW#i will still watch 3bd when it comes out#but I will be fucking PISSED if what i'm seeing about the characters is real#“give them personalities” ok yeah sure im fine with that#“the plot affects the entire population of the earth” ok sure but why are 75% of the cast non asian now.#“we need diversity! plus you need the audience to appeal to the audience” im going to fucking bite you. fuck off.#no hate to the actors i'm sure they did a great job its not their fault anyway#but seriously if they made luo ji non-chinese im actually going to fucking lose it#3 body problem#three body problem#remembrance of earth's past#netflix#actually if they made zhang beihai non-chinese as well then i'm just going to- *internal screaming*

i think i may have created way to much pressure on myself when i tell people to send stuff that theyve tagged me in that i've missed. like yes i'd love to be able to read everything you guys send me but im gone most of the day now and its just not possible anymore. it kinda makes me sad because ive probably missed out on so much because of the sheer amount of things in my mentions.
#auburn's rambles <3#i dont know uhhh i think i just had an epiphany#all of my posts have been downers lately I AM SO SORRY#but also i think. it stems from people using me too#like people send me asks telling me about stuff i missed instead of talking to me to talk to me#and its not their fault because i told them to do that but it makes the mean part of my brain tell me that theyre just using me#to make their own audiences bigger like what happened in the past#its jus t kinda tiring idk#but everything has been a little tiring lately#on the bright side i finished my exam!!! so now i just need to work on chemistry stuff and my art paper ^^#and since the event starts tomorrow hopefully i'll be able to get a few letters in hehe

nah they're just colorist you don't have to blame the government for everything you know
#i'm literally taiwanese i am well aware of the ccp's bullshit in general but this is just reaching lol#hyv is appealing to both themselves and an audience where colorism is deeply rooted into cultural beauty standards. its as simple as that#yes the ccp certainly has an influence on things but saying hyv is not at fault for anything is. naive at best#anyways. i'm not arguing with people on tumblr about this lol#asks#anon
