the sooner people understand x reader as a literary device and not a blank slate for you get mad at for not actually being a blank slate, the more fun we’ll all have. the reader-insert will never be a perfect empty canvas. even without character and world motivation it’s just the sheer fact that these things are written by imperfect humans—some of them do it better than others but all of them will leave their dirty filthy thumbprints on ur precious mirror of a entryway, that’s literally just how creation works. it will never perfectly include everyone, it’s not meant to, they work exactly the same as other characters—the degree to which you relate to them will depend on the story, what they do, and who’s writing it (and you who’s reading it, of course).

updates on my bingo card for episode 2! :)
made a life series bingo card with my partner (a day late in finishing bc honestly, i didn't know what to put down). super excited for the next season and i hope an underdog wins! [blank copy below]

#my bingo card so far!#i got desert duo bickering#grians trap failing (bc it did before it succeeded)#the boogeyman returns!!!#i have a feeling that the gimmicks for each episode will be whatever gimmick the previous seasons had#ep 1 had nothing—symbolizing 3rd life#ep 2 had the boogeyman from last life#i might be wrong with my prediction but i’m curious to see how they’ll incorporate the past season in the next episode/recording#i also have a feeling this series might run until the end of the year if we’re moving that slowly thru updates

I really love the idea of sentient mechs because of all the unique relationships they have with their pilots. You can have mechs that refuse to let their pilot go because they love them so much, mechs that sacrifice themselves to make sure their pilot lives, or even mechs that hate the atrocities their pilot is forcing them to commit and will happily turn on them if given the chance. My favourite is a mech who remembers all their past pilots and has vowed not to make the same mistakes with the new one.

#so one of my favorite bands ever made a comeback out of nowhere one random wednesday this week and i haven't quite felt the same since#it was one thing to hear them release music as a group after they'd branched out with their solo careers for the past 5 years#and another to see them complete after their frontman left them 7 years ago#it was more an 'i saw this coming but just not quite sure when' moment bc i've been seeing them hanging around each other for a while now#they were such an integral part to my high school and my first experience with fan communities. i was in their trenches before anywhere els#i loved them so much and i loved them so loudly most of my friends sent the MV link to me as soon as they saw it#they used to mean that much and while i think they still do so much has changed in the past 5 years#some experiences with people have soured the memories tied to their songs and i literally walked in and out of college without them#tho some of those memories have been patched up and frankly revitalized maybe i needed them gone for five years to lessen the bitterness#i mean i fell inlove with my now bf but bsf at the time when we saw them live 7 years ago so this might be our chance to relive the exp lol#it's a mix of i'm glad you're back but where were you when i needed you most kind of thing#on top of that i've grown up enough to see these men not as dreamily as i did before#i do not excuse their alleged actions but i no longer have it in my heart to cast artists aside when i love the art#i feel like the balance there is acknowledging what they've done and not pushing the narrative that they're perfectly harmless#simultaneously enjoying the music but criticizing the makers aka not to fall into the trap of that parasocial relationship#if i were to nitpick every artist for the shit they've done i'd end up stanning no one and liking nothing bc frankly i'm so tired of trying#to be morally right when all things come to an end anyway#toff.txt#ivos#iv of spades

I feel guilty whenever it takes me a while to read a book. Then I remember it doesn't matter how long it takes me to read it. Reading slow isn't bad.

Forget the Myers-Briggs fucking personality assessment. I am dead tired of hearing if someone is an INFP or an ESLQ or whatever. I want to know if someone is melancholic or choleric. Bring back the four humors. I wanna see “Kaley, 16, phlegmatic” when I go to someone’s blog. Who is with me. Lets make this happen

some notable moments from docs stream so far
he reads hermitcraft ship fanfic but exclusively the yaoi
"grian and scar are canonically gay and hooking up all the time"
none of the hermits are sleeping together which hes very disappointed about because he thinks a hermitcraft wedding at the courthouse would be fun and so would a hermitcraft baby and the divorce would be decided by coinflip
hes thought a lot about it and decided hes not into men
his way of deciding this was by imagining himself passionately tongue kissing handsome men
however ren could turn him gay especially if his hair grows out

translation [On July 2, 1977, at the age of 78, Vladimir Nabokov passed away. Vera outlived him by 14 years, years which she spent working on her husband's creative heritage, including the task of translating his novels into Russian. After her death, her ashes were mixed with those of Vladimir Nabokov. Even in eternity, they remained inseparable.]

first thing i thought of when i heard grian's plan
#i predict that grian won't win this season solely bc this lesbian power couple will throw him under the bus#and betray him on or before the finale#maybe that's just me#mcyt#past life#trafficblr

the impossible minecraft series will always be special to me bc it had my dream team and there's something so poetic (and actually fanfic worthy) about gearing up to fight a hydra-esque dragon by divebombing its life crystals. rocketeer by far east movement plays in my head every time i see grian divebomb the crystals like uGH go man!
#also scar showing up on the final battle and everyone hyping him up will always be so precious#they love him#i love my hermits/lifers or whatever we call this bunch#it was a one off series but it will always be in my heart#sorry it was mad difficult for them tho ;n;#impossible minecraft#mcyt#toff.txt
