writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

thinking about that post of people assuming ao3 has an algorithm and also about how bonkers persistent the view is that ao3 is social media lite. like with startling regularity I get comments saying something along the lines of "it's probably weird to comment on a fic this old--" no it isn't!!!! this is an archive I am literally just assuming you searched for a selection of specific tags or sorted by kudos or looked back on my pseud or any other number of completely normal ways to use an archive site ?? kill the tiktok ghost in your brain and comment on old stuff it's NOT weird

thoughts on eurovision 2023 -

The UK's hosting was shameful and terrible. I was really looking forward to hearing Ukrainian artists and highlighting their country. It didn't happen at all; it was upsetting. Also, the hosting style was bland.

There were sadly some badly mixed songs where you couldn't hear the vocals, like Serbia, Austria and UK

Germany deserved to be much higher up! They put on a great show with quality music.

Moldova and Spain went hard and I appreciated that <3

Australia and Belgium were quality

Estonia sent a ballad I actually liked, wow

If Norway's live performance was as strong as their studio performance, they would have got my vote, but alas, it didn't stand out live to me

The acoustic version of Tattoo is way better than the original version that Loreen sang, I wish she had performed that one. She can sing.

I've known for some time that Eurovision is hella rigged, but this was embarrassing. I didn't want Cha Cha Cha to win because of the vocals, but it was charming and catchy and bold. It was in Finnish, which is good. It felt like a winner and was massively popular, and it had the spirit of risk-taking that makes Eurovision fun.

I don't think the juries should be abolished. They ensured Spain, Belgium, Ukraine and Estonia got deserved recognition this year. But gave too much to Sweden and Italy. I wish the weighting were different because the popular vote should matter more than corrupt rigging. But then again, a lot goes into hosting and making events big and profitable, including having the right host at the right time.

Outside of Eurovision, the popular vote does matter most! So there is that consolation. With internet streaming, the dynamics have changed.

So I am going to go listen to Queen of Kings now~

Liverpool is great don’t get me wrong but I still maintain that they should have done a Ukraine focused interval act

My favorite thing about fanfic authors is they can identify any gap in a canon timeline where characters are offscreen and exploit the ever living fuck out of it

They see a time skip of any length and go

I found a new way to generate landmasses for your dnd games and trpgs or whatever else, fantasy series, etc.

Now you may be familiar with the bean or d20 method, and its a nice method, but I find it sometimes can be odd with its landmassed and the beans can scatter too randomly.

So I present you the tangerine method:

Peel a tangerine then use the pieces how they peel off and arrange them into landmasses of your choosing as above and voila here's your new campaign world.

Bonus you get to eat tasty tangerine foing it too.
