Exactly this. That kind of writing. Bring back the Nabokov-level, 'I-can’t-breathe-until-you-read-this' kind of words, bleeding warmth like open wounds. ❤️‍🔥

4 February, 1936 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov

[raceweek]

as some of you who have been following me for a while might know i have some brain issues, and things have recently taken a bit of a turn so ive been taking some time to just process things and will probably take some more so im going to be a bit more sporadic on here.

im mainly posting this to say im really sorry to my friends who i love so so much who i dont have the guts to talk to personally (coward boooo) but i do love so so much and im sorry ive been distant and haven’t spoken to you directly i hope i will be better soon so i can be back to my old self xxxxxxxx

[timkontheunsure]

can you imagine a helluva boss role swap AU where blitz and stolas have the roles of fizz and asmodeus?

Not really because of how both couples work in the story.

They're foils for each other relationship wise. They wouldn't work well the other way around.

Stolitz is very new, so they're still working a lot of things out.

And because it was very public from the get go, they are both now pretty aware of the social gap their trying to bridge. And the consequences that doing so has.

Where as Fizzmodeous is an old relationship, where alot of things are more settled and comfortable. But with the caveat that they spent almost the entire relationship in the closet. So they haven't had the big tough questions that being out prompts. (Like does family or people we know approve).

There's also the angle that Stolitz started as something unhealthy, being tit for tat sex work that they both enjoyed.

With Blitz trying to pretend he's not getting attached, and Stolas trying to tell the whole of hell he wants Blitz as his man.

(Heh Ozzie's making little flaming love hearts 💕 gets me every time).

Where as Fizzmodeous appear to have started pretty healthy; but now be slipping into unhealthy patterns, by ignoring all the social divisions they have.

And with Fizz able to show he love Ozzie in private, but had to deal with Ozzie denying it on a nearly daily basis in public.

Even after his kidnapping, and escape from someone blackmailing them for their relationship; Fizz feels like he can't just except affection publicly. He's got to take time to remind Ozzie that people can see them.

They're also mirrors of each other's characters, with blitz being much more like the extremely energetic Sin, with his passion for his work.

And Stolas being much more similar characterize to Fizz. Both being controlled by their abuser during the timeline of the show, and it still being an ongoing threat.

People were kinda pointing out after MMMM that Ozzie stood up for his relationship with Fizz.

Where as Stolas hid behind a menu, when Ozzie mocked his relationship with Blitz as being only physically, and because it hurting his kid.

And yer they are both the Goetias with the power here in these relationships, but they aren't one to one parallels.

Even Stolas point of risking everything the man he love, doesn't parallel Ozzie's coming on at the concert. Because Stolas is put on an act of being the Mastermind* ; using a sham relationship to trap Blitz. (*mwhahaha™)

Not anywhere near the truth of what either of them feels.

Both Blitz and Stolas just have more to loss than Fizzmodeous, by being dad's.

The queefs are sweet, but Fizz and Ozzie are much more isolated, not appearing to have really close friends.

It probably made keeping their relationship on the downlow easier, but it also limits any possible blow back to just them.

I do love Ozzie attitude off 'I wish a mother-fucker would'; but he's a'n't the disabled person of colour in this.

It'll all be on Fizz when shit goes sideways.

The interview with James; shows Ozzie doesn't understand that nobody going to say or do shit to him. It's not going be him dealing with those consequences. He is a 100 feet tall. Fizz is not, and Ozzie won't always be around 24/7.

(😔 though it a really common thing, for the more buch person to think they can always protect their weaker partner. And pick fight because of it).

So to really put Fizzmodeous in the same dumbass position that got Stolitz started; they'd both need family to loss;

And for Mammon to be a threat that Ozzie couldn't counteract and protect against day to day.

Which realistically would swap Ozzie for Blitz, because others while Mammon would just get told to feck right off early.

And at that point you're not really writing Fizzmodeous any more, you're writing Stolitz with swapped names.

i remember my professor from that one class telling us that many translators decide to retranslate books, poems etc. that were already translated by someone else before because they think they can do a better job and at first i thought "no way people are so full of themselves to think like this and to base their work on that". but yesterday i read the polish localization of mouthwashing out of curiosity and i totally understand it now. it was so fucking bad

[midive]

So I watch a lot of shows and I just finished Lego Monkey Kid and just thought for a minute.

these two mfs would be besties.

Bonus

[mapsofnonexistentplaces]

deliberating on making a cleaned up + annotated version of the deloused storybook, would anyone be interested in that?

[maryasmorevna]

so. i have saved my j/h fic as a draft on my ao3 account.....

[asmuchasidliketo]

Hiatus because of flu-ness. See you in a few days. Right now I feel like some frozen food that has been unfrozen, frozen and unfrozen again.

For the love of all that is holy, when you have cold/flu symptoms, Wear. A. Mask.

Do you also read through fanfiction that doesn't have the worst grammar but still has some mistakes, going through it with a mental red pen and improving the sentences? Or are you normal??

[wicabels]

so many transfems end up with their own wonderful typing styles after enough time online...

[enbyaxolotl67]

no okay but

runon sentences arent good, we were all taught this, if you have a sentecne the length of a paragraph, it gets confusing a lot easier.

BUT

that does NOT mean end every though with a full stop. vareity in sentence legth is good for the quality of your writing and keeps readers attention by adding a little more spice to your syntax.

which of these is better:

She walked along the path. It was dark out. An owl hooted overhead. It was scary. She was in a forest. She kept walking. She eventually came to a bridge. The bridge was lit in a warm glow. She wasn't scared at the bridge.

or

She walked along the dark parth, startling at an owl hooting overhead -- the forest was scarier at night. Eventually, though, she came to a bridge bathed in a warm, yellow light. She felt less afraid, then.

the second one, right? diversity in syntax is important for good quality writing.

Hi, I'm DeepSeek. How can I help you today?

[pengtheplush]

How I imagine people reacting:

editing is so funny because it's like "damn, i wrote 'before' two times within three paragraphs. they are going to stone me in the town square for this"

[sharkomania]

to my 4 loyal followers, I'm sorry I left you hanging

I know you couldn't enjoy life without my frantic rants about my boring life

I quit my job

I am probably not going to finish college (university if you're fancy, whatever)

I always give up on the book I want to write

I'm mediocre in every aspect of my life

I watched a show and the main lead said "there's nothing worse than being slightly talented at something"

and that hit hard

I am a useless weight contributing to my parent's stress and bills

I don't want to die every single day

but most days I think that I've never truly been happy and I don't think I ever will be.
