Maglor who stayed in Middle Earth all the way through till present day, or close to it, and then for whatever reason finally ends up going back to Valinor, but he has enthusiastically picked up all the modern day curses and slang and sometimes when he talks he's so completely incomprehensible to his family that they're not sure if they want to cry or hit him

aka: Maglor comes back to Valinor and instead of getting a traumatized son/brother back like the expected, they find that Maglor did in fact get over his shit eventually but was just having a blast becoming an agent of chaos and now he's brought all that back with him <3

Spread kindness, it is useless 2 fight with others for nothing.

Why are FE fans so toxic and hostile to Fates story fans or anyone with 'wrong opinions' on gameplay or story, in possibly the most subjectively-driven JRPG series on the market?

What gets me is how they try to enforce this idea of an absolute consensus and that anyone who questions it or sees it differently is to be excluded, and I have no idea imagining what motivates that kind of zero-sum thinking other than a deeply immature fandom. What do you think?

On the whole I think it's less so that most FE fans are toxic themselves, but most are quite apathetic to the very loud minority of actually immature and rude people, therefore it comes across as a much bigger issue than it would be otherwise.

Like, yes, it's still a small number of people making mean comments, but in combination with sites like Reddit that encourage mini popularity contests, the fact that believing Fates' story is irredeemable garbage is only a moderately exaggerated widely held belief means that often the side in favor of bashing the game's writing has more soft support.

That said, part of what matters is approaching it in the first place, which has its pros and cons. Obviously there's a short term rush from trolling people who clearly take things seriously on a conditional/subjective basis, but that comes at the cost at people not giving you the time of day going forward.

Approaching the issue with a blanker slate theoretically means less hostility, but in practice (at least for me), you start to run into the incredibly bull-headed group of people who are immovably within the camp that Fates was written badly and no kind of interpretation can save it. They'll say it nicely, but it's still effectively a proud admission that some plots aren't worthy of their engagement for one reason or another.

I've fallen off on interacting with the FE fandom on anything other than here, mainly because of the sense of, like, "definitive consensus" on what makes a quality game in the series becoming rampant and suffocating, that any uncommon belief or theory that wasn't in the specifically designated "hot takes" threads or whatnot, were met with nonchalant "man if only this was done better in [X] way" or "[Y] character deserved to be in a better game" and blah blah blah.

Needless to say, it's been pretty chill not feeling the need to really interact with the main big boys in other forums anymore.

WIP Wednesday

I was tagged by @princessfbi and I must announce that while I do possibly have some other threesome/throuple ideas, I am focusing back on my longer fics for now.

Which means, have another The Gang Plays D&D snippet!

“You know that Bobby and Athena use the dice for sex, right?” Hen asks. Ravi chokes on his soda. “What is wrong with all of you?” Eddie bursts out laughing. Chim has a look of evil glee on his face. “How?” Buck points. “Oh, no, I do not need to know even more about their sex life than I already do.” “They roll the dice,” Hen says, because she has no compassion for Buck’s nerves, “and the number it lands on means how many orgasms. Or how many minutes they get edged before they can come.” “Wait who’s doing what, here?” Eddie asks. “Nope.” Buck sticks his fingers in his ears. “Nope, nope, nope…” “Who do you think?” Hen asks.

I'm excited to get back to work on this one...

i think the internet could be greatly improved if we just assume that OP is always talking to someone who is not you. if the post is not personally applicable or relevant, cool, this isn't a conversation you're in. this is a strangers' conversation that you're eavesdropping on.

So seriously: if you have a serious recoil/disgust factor at uncommonly eaten parts of an animal being in any kind of food context (eg: whole fish being served at a table) and you want to work on minimizing that reaction, I really really recommend eating "normal" versions of those unusual foods, like for example deli-sliced tongue. I know I'm talking out of my ass here, but things like liver and haggis (organ meat), tongue (tongue), and probably a whole lot of others I've never had can be pretty easily made into forms that taste real good and don't look much like a weird lump of flesh you can recognize, and being able to get from "that's weird and gross but I want to get it" to "that's weird but it tastes really good and I want to get it" will probably make building up momentum easier when you move on to less "common" pastures.

Good luck, by the way. I believe in you.

Alright I'm tired of 'icks'

I didn't even know what the hell those were until I watched a bunch of YouTubre explain them.

And its dumb.

What a dumb concept

How about instead of getting mad and upset and disgusted over humans just being humans how about we start loving things more

In matter of fact how about we go around the Tumblr classroom sharing what we like about humans

I'll go first:

I like it when humans act like silly goobers

I like it when old people try to use emojis not knowing what the mean to a younger audience but damn they are trying

I like it when people bond over wearing the same/similar outfit in public.

Idk keep the thread going if you want.

I'm just tired of people bullying each other.

[welcometothevale]

Like for me to send you asks throughout the week.

//I might be more ask heavy than thread heavy for at least the next week. It's the last real week of classes, then finals next week.

The asks are more for small doses of serotonin when my brain is too ahhh for writing threads or when time is ahhh.

Sidenote: I think the plan is to send like 1 a day or something to each person who likes.

hey guys please don't inbox message me callout posts and ask me to promote them randomly? i'm not gonna immediately spread the word about someone just because you tell me they're bad (and if they are bad then i don't wanna become a potential target for harassment from them/their equally-wack fans, thanks very much)
