that kiss

I like how the Orcs are all collectively a mixture of “wtf just happened?” And “who does he think he is?” Just like the audience

I don't know why they seem to have fully rebooted Doctor Who but I don't like the new style. Ncuti Gatwa is great, Millie Gibson is great. But I haven't been able to put my finger on why everything feels so...off. But I figured it out.

Y'all remember that post about how Netflix writers were told to have dialogue describe what characters are doing so people can pay attention while on their phones? It's that. It's been remade in that style that panders to people who use chatGPT to write their essays.

Nothing is subtle anymore. Nothing is subtext.

David Tenant looked us lovingly in the eyes, gently held our hands, and explained to us how the superstition he mentioned was deliberate foreshadowing and it's going to mean something in the future and we should remember it.

Ruby made sure we understood in no uncertain terms that the space babies are commentary on both the ridiculous nature of abortion laws and welfare, but also immigration

Nothing that isn't directly relevant to the straightforward A-to-B plot of an episode is explained in any way, and everything that IS relevant is over-explained. They walk and talk about the fact that they're walking. The Doctor says the name of the episode five times. There is a speech about how it's okay to be you regardless of what people think.

Sometimes there's an ass-shaped spaceship that's powered by baby poop and it propels itself by farts.

I was gonna make a joke about my dragons being gay because they both have pink hair gradients but halfway through drawing this I lost the plot and don't know how to word it in a way that makes sense

In media im very mixed on elves, i somewhat dislike when theyre just humans but twinkier and cant grow facial hair (though i can appreciate this form of them) I like when theyre more obviously a fae-influenced subspecies of humans... Uncanny elves with eyes that pin like parrots and mobile ears, to human beings seem almost expressionless/stiff faced but thats bc all their emoting is in their ears and eyes

You have to be an absolute drooling retard to post evidence of crimes you committed on the internet. Enjoy prison lol.

this is almost too dumb to respond to but I'm going to anyways so here's what would have to happen for me to go to prison based on that photo:

1-someone on here would have to care enough to investigate & find out my full legal name somehow then tip off local authorities (my blog is anonymous, as is the email address I began it with. even siobhan isn't my real government first name though I do go by it irl with friends)

2-cpd would have to give a shit about that likely very difficult to verify tip (there is no universe in which they'd choose to investigate smth so fucking petty, they have a plethora actual crimes to deal with/ignore while binge eating donuts in their car)

3-the stores would have to verify the posted goods were actually stolen & then prosecute me for it (again, they do not give a shit about petty theft. I'd just catch a ban, probably not even a fine)

4-a judge would then have to sentence me, a first time misdemeanor offender, to prison time, which these days would be about as likely as them sending someone to jail for jaywalking. do you even know how overcrowded prisons are? these judges are letting literal murderers out on bond bc they have no room for them.

it is so funny when ppl who don't lift thinks literally anyone gives a shit except LP who think they're badasses. the one time I got caught in 10 years was at a 7/11 & the guy literally just said "put it back, that's not good" then rung me up as usual. didn't even ban me from the store. in conclusion the chance of me going to prison bc of that photo is 0%. literally. not even an infinitesimal fraction of a percentage

Thank you once again to the title art by @klynnvakarian!

Well this is the final chapter and instead of a snippet I just wanted to leave a comment on my overall thoughts on writing this fic.

Well, I can’t believe I actually did it! This is my first ever fic and it has turned into my longest after almost two years. While there are elements of this story I could imagine continuing, I felt that I wanted a solid conclusion and this was a sort of novel length point to end it. It was important to me that Ereddâz's journey had a satisfying ending for him. If you couldn’t tell, there’s elements of this character that are deeply personal to me and only became more so as the fic went on. I am grateful to have met this character and gone on this journey with him and at times it was very cathartic to some personal things I had going on. I hope I was true to the character though.

I truly had a great time writing this fic. It was a joy for me and I did feel proud of a lot of what I have written. Sometimes I think certain parts could’ve been better or I had other ideas that would’ve been cool but ended up on the cutting room floor so to speak. But overall this was such a memorable experience.

I’ll never forget the support and pseudo beta reading by my friends in the Saurondriel and Haladriel discords. In fact it was encouragement from one of those discords that I decided to actually put myself out there and write my first ever fan fic with zero experience in a community that I barely knew. That person said something like “your voice matters and we can use your contribution to the fandom” (paraphrasing). I can’t describe how encouraging those words were to read to get over the initial anxiety I had about writing this story.

Since most of the communities I was in were mostly focused on the Haladriel romance or even the smut side of things I did feel a bit on the outside having a very subtle Haladriel element while focusing on this Rings of Power AU story about Orc civilians. I think those fears disappeared after I started writing it for myself in a way AND then I continued getting all those lovely comments and kudos from all you readers here and on ao3. THANK YOU, your interest and appreciation definitely motivated me to come this far and finish it. Let me know what you think. Any constructive criticism is also appreciated!

Gonna play the most cringefail tryhard barely-an-adult in this dnd game. Im not even playing a rogue

[tele-mesmerism]

is it like unfathomable to ppl on here that not everyone was taught the same things in school or were barely taught them or not in ways they could use or understand. like sorry i went to the alt school and was barely taught reading comprehension and we didnt like. finish books and a lot of where we shouldve learned to use skills was like. ok write an essay on this im not gonna teach you what ur spsd to be doing

[airandangels]

Oh! I just had a stroke of inspiration. I am changing Little Nephew’s soubriquet to Linus.

[owltypical]

oh yes, i finished reading unseen academicals, it was fun and interesting

also struck me in how rincewind was in it as just a small bitpart support character, with how he was pretty much The main character and mascot as it were for discworld itself for so many years, and felt a bit of sadness knowing that was his last ever appearance in the end

though i suppose that sadness is just going to grow as i get through the last two books, and was the reason i held off on reading the discworld books i missed for so many years, there's so many characters and a whole-ass world to say goodbye to
