Bonus 8: How met your mother (CSSR design by @qourmet!)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#cangse sanren#wei changze#jiang fengmian#It was important to me that WCZ had the hereditary mole. I will die on this hill.#I have been *waiting* for the day to finally arrive when I could finally make this comic. It's been marinating for months.#My mission is to redraw all of qour's character designs one day. They are just *that* good.#CSSR has the vibes of a wandering menace who shows up in towns like a stray cat arriving at a new doorstep for treats. 10/10.#While YZY strongly leads us to believe that JFM was in love with CSSR and that's his whole motivation behind taking wwx in-#-I do think this is (once again) rumour being presented as reality. It's the juicer story to tell after all.#It is still possible that he did love her! But I think that story undercuts the relationship he also had with WCZ.#Yall ever think about how JC and WWX parallel their fathers? How Wei Changze also left the Jiang Leader's side? I do.#Unlike JC though It is far more hilarious and plausible to imagine JFM begging to be CSSR and WCZ's third. You know he would.#My wild headcanon is that JFM and YZY are in a mlm and wlw arranged marriage situation. Deeply unhappy as partners. Better as friends.#they care for each other and I'll admit that there is a beautiful tragedy in them having romantic feelings for each other the whole time.#But I am also here for the gaffs. Let them be unfulfilled homosexuals together.#Meanwhile cssr and wcz are having incredible hetrosexual sex in a bisexual way that WILL leave him pregnant by the end of it.

i can understand people not being interested in seeing reformed lex and preferring stories of him being a villain (even if i don’t personally agree) but i saw someone leave a review on league of comic geeks insinuating that joshua williamson’s take on lex luthor was somehow indicative of his view on irl billionaires like musk and bezos and i really wanted to reply to the person and be like “hey serious question do you think ebeneezer scrooge reforming at the end of a christmas carol meant charles dickens was pro-billionaire”

Jackie realizing she’s gonna have to take care of shauna and jeff’s ghost baby
Tumblr media
#🐇#yellowjackets#truly it’s so interesting to me how much better this season is than the first that literally never happens for me#the current timeline is finally getting interesting. Jeff is still the best part#love how fast misty took to being a cult that is so her™️#Jackie liking poppies is interesting to me both in the Jackie is gay camp and also you know the whole thing with wizard oz and her death#the ending was so fucking depressing I need a nap now#like I’m so happy they didn’t eat the baby that would have been so incredibly cheap but glad to finally have answers#like do we think shauna was dreaming or had she temporarily crossed over because like where was Jackie and the French dude#I’d say it would make sense that Lottie could be there somehow#idk it reminded me a lot of Jackie’s death of course so I have many questions#I will say the cop story line is pretty stupid like no fucking way is any of this legal and also let’s kill that creep cop shauna#I will help you girl I will drive the get away car#I was also like wondering awhile ago if Lottie’a camp is near where the plane crash was#and my best friend and I were like no there’s no way and then they tell us it’s in New York so like possibly close to the boarder?#I tried looking up cherry hill but I couldn’t find anything idk it’s probably totally unlikely and they just also happen to be in the woods#I didn’t get a preview for next week is there a preview? idk#my complaint this week is where is Jackie lmfao where is her ghost why wasn’t she in sex ed give me something I’m not ready to move on!!!!

I think it would be hilarious if Foolish, Fit or Favela five aren’t able to be there when Leo, Ramon and Richarylson wake up so instead of any of the islanders taking care of them, Cucurucho picks them up and tells the islanders babysitting is included in the Federation Work Package™️

not to be about opera again but to be about opera again. as an art form it has the reputation of being super stuffy and something for snobs who don't know how to have fun only but honestly this was one of, perhaps even THE main theatrical entertainment for centuries. i wish people knew how hard these things can go and how engaging they can be. like characters kill and die and fight wars and (almost) commit human sacrifice left and right. characters fall in love they mourn they're ecstatic they cry they're furious it's an extremely dramatic and emotional art form! and i understand that opera does not appear approachable bc of the general conventions of the art form but i promise old works can be fun and engaging if you go watch them with some preparation beforehand (reading the libretto helps) - not to mention not all operas are old bc there are so many modern operas which engage with topical events! also the music slaps.
#le triomphe de trajan (1807) out here calling for a man's execution with this banger:#point de grace pour ce perfide; que tout sons sang coule sur un autel#(no grace for this treacherous man; let all his blood flow on an altar)#this is also annoying to me when people write historical fic and the characters treat the opera as this elitist thing#that they don't know anything about.#you know when they go to the opera reluctantly and then they have no idea what's going on on stage or who the composer is.#which is. very unlikely for anyone with the money to attend an opera in certain opera houses in the 19th c. tbqh#like im more of an expert on paris and vienna idk what it was like in london#but if you were decently (upper) middle class or nobility (esp in paris) you went regularly. this was like a whole social space too#i recently read a fanfic and one of the characters was like 'oh it's in italian. i don't know that' and the other character went like#'it's by a man called donizetti what did you expect'#(this was situated in 19th century london)#like first of all. donizetti was NOT a librettist he was a composer he did not write the text#and second of all. he worked on french operas ?? so did rossini. and spontini.#opera was an incredibly international art form. also bc productions would be performed in different countries all the time#(sometimes changed and/or translated but not necessarily)#and again like i said. this was one of THE main forms of entertainment. people were familiar with its conventions! it was well-liked!#ofc bc of the seating prices it was not very accessible to lower classes most of the time#but lbr most characters that get written into an opera scene in fiction are at the very least decently bourgeois lol#i wish people knew how to properly historicise forms of entertainment whose reputation has changed in the modern era#from what it was a century or more ago#very adjacent to people 'cancelling' old lit bc of 'bad takes' like idk how to tell you this but people thought different back then#completely different world view from what we have today. that does not make lit from that era irredeemable it is just from a diff. time#acknowledging that and reading the text critically but also still enjoying it are things that go tgt here#ok rant over (it is never over)#curry rambles

there are so many many funny things about fiona/scourge as a relationship but somewhere at the top is definitely the fact that if it wasnt canon and somebody told me they shipped them i would actually think they were insane

Fellas, I sit by this cute girl in French and she was talking about what she was writing for our one-word prompt thing, since today’s word was “mensonge” which just means lie (noun). And she was just making up a story about a husband getting caught in an affair, and I told her I had just written a paragraph encouraging people to lie for fun, in a way that keeps everyone in on the joke, like improv. Then I turn my music off bc we’re talking and she’s like “oh what are you listening to?” And I turn on the screen and it’s. fuckin. Liar. By the Arcadian Wild. Out of a FOUR HOUR LONG playlist.
Anyway she thought that was funny and I think im gonna ask her if she wants to get coffee sometime

Does anyone have floating ideas that just kind of attach (and sometimes detach/reattach) to different WIPs?

(This is in response to some conversation around fan works and 'expy' characters)
@juneegbertfanpage The short answer is, yes! But if you decide to go that route, there are a few things I'd recommend keeping in mind.
First, if your fanfic uses excerpts from the original text or basically follows the original plot, then you'll have to rewrite those bits. This probably seems obvious but you'd really, really be surprised what people think they can get away with. Similarly, if there are some incredibly recognizable setting elements, you may have a hard time making it seem original - it's a lot harder to turn a Pokemon fanfic into an original story than, say, a Star Trek fanfic.
Second, most fanfic relies heavily on the reader's understanding of the original work to skip out on establishing characters. You can't do that if you're going to call your story an original work. Reread the first few chapters and see if you need to put in more early moments to give the reader an idea of who these people are. Also go back over the worldbuilding - unless you're in the business of writing very detailed AUs, you may want to reinforce some background details about the world that you might've glossed over originally because the audience should already know those parts.
Asterisk on that last part: when you're doing this, it could be nice to take some liberties and do some things differently than the 'original' work - after all, you don't need to worry about making anyone OOC anymore, because that's a different guy now! At this point, being consistent with who your characters are later (or rather, telegraphing some of the development they may have) is better than just using whatever your story was originally based on.
Third, if you've already published the story elsewhere in its original fanfiction form, people will likely find both that version and the version you've made more your own. This isn't going to constitute a problem legally (unless somehow you get accused of plagiarizing yourself), but you will be made fun of for being a fanfic author. Assholes will deride your work, regardless of its quality or originality, simply because it began life as a fan work. You and I know that that's bullshit - not only is there nothing wrong with writing fanfiction, but also so many other works out there theoretically *could* have started life as a fanfiction of sorts, and they are still celebrated works. Point is, if the original fanfic version of your story exists online somewhere, it will be found, and people will make fun of you for it; you can't let them get under your skin. Not that that is easy, but it is necessary.
Finally, be warned: independent authors get screwed over at astronomical rates. I've never published a book, so I would defer to any number of folks who've gone through the process multiple times, but overall I'd be careful who you talk to and be doubly careful who you send a manuscript to. When you get toward the publishing stage (after carefully editing your prior work [and getting the help of a beta reader or ideally two - one familiar with the original work and one fresh]) I would highly recommend seeking out the advice of fellow authors - there are certainly dozens of advice posts that have circulated around here, as well as years of discussions on other sites such as Medium, Reddit, and Quora. I'd also look for panels at any conventions you might be going to - most of the science-fiction/fantasy fan cons will have one or two discussions on getting published, at least in my experience.

i hope that if i do go further with this mlp nextgen and blueberry drizzle isnt a one off and i do more with her and the conflict idea between her and her parents that it doesnt look like im like... trying to go “oh my god rainbow dash and pinkie pie from horse show are ABUSIVE PARENTS!!!” 
#or at least not ''theyd be horrible parents'' like they are good moms to drizzle and gave her love and affection growing up#like... the idea is more that drizzle is so unlike her moms and big parties/competitive games actually stress her out really bad#whereas those are her moms' love language. so its just a matter of not having the same interests and they dont know how to handle that#which comes from how both characters can be really inconsiderate in the show and have to learn to tone it down#and i kinda wanted to imply it was the same situation with pinkie growing up on her hcs post and now shes in the same thing w her daughter#so drizzle just feels distant from them.#idk why i feel the need to clarify this when i dont know if im even gonna flesh this out#but like. i always get paranoid ppl are gonna see drizzle's art and think im trying to make rainbow and pinkie bad people#like that one nextgen that made applejack transphobic and needed to be magic'd into accepting her daughter#idk i always get so uncomfortable when i see a nextgen that makes an established kind character into an abuser. its upsetting#like i wanna see cute horse designs and fluffy family material with some grounded conflicts#not a long post explaining why you think rarity would be abusive to her gay child.#this sounds incredibly specific. and yeah. idk what to say abt this its just weird#its one thing if the character is established to be cruel and we all know for a fact theyd be a shitty parent but like... for the honses?#echoed voice

#i feel batshit crazy#and also incredibly lucky#I started my new job a bit more than a month ago#and it has been disappointing and boring so far#so like 5 days after I started I applied to another job#which seems 100 times more interesting and in line with what I am capable of doing#I passed all the interviews these past couple of weeks#and I GOT IT :)#i am so happy because it’s a killer opportunity#but also I feel absolutely terrible for my current employer#i received the news today so obviously I haven’t told my employer yet and I still don’t know when I will be able to make the switch#it’s so weird and unlike me to behave like this…I feel like a traitor#but also I don’t have any time to waste like…no#i don’t really trust my judgement anymore because I was also very happy when I got my current job and I thought it would be great#but i realize now that it was the idea of changing and the possibility to leave consulting that made me so excited at that time#I really hope the new position will fit me more#i think it will honestly. my future boss is quite young and was also a consultant in a top firm when we talked it was quite easy to connect#hmmm we’ll see#also I made it very clear that I wanted a break between the 2 jobs#to not repeat the mistake in December - when I had just a weekend between my two jobs#anyway !! I am very lucky#but also sooo stupid because I am achieving a lot professionally and it’s great and all#and yet I feel so behind and childish and incomplete because I am still so so so very single urghh#whatever. so much change has happened in the past year that now I am addicted to it and am acting very boldly so who knows what can happen

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 217/?
O. V. Wright - Everybody Knows (The River Song) (1965)
"I am so miserable,
I am so tired.
Oh, I just sit on the Mississippi River
And watch the fish swim by.
My life is so confused,
But I don't wanna die;
I wanna go to heaven,
But I'm scared to fly."
#favourite lyrics#o. v. wright#everybody knows#everybody knows (the river song)#roosevelt jamison#m. j. keep#(if it is) only for tonight#1965#wright is a fairly new discovery for me but is currently featuring pretty heavily in my day to day playlist#finding out a little more about this song was something of a challenge; I'd taken it for perhaps a traditional song#perhaps even a spiritual with links to pre american civil war black folk music; apparently not bc this is credited to Keep and Jamison#Jamison was a manager and songwriter who discovered Wright and was largely responsible for his career success‚ writing most of his early#singles including notable hit That's How Strong My Love Is (better knownbin cover versions by Otis Redding and the Rolling Stones)#Wright and Jamison parted company somewhat acrimoniously later in the decade and it's fair to say that neither was quite as successful#without the other. m j keep is more mysterious; digging around online reveals only a single songwriting credit to that name‚ which is this#one. it could always be a pen name i suppose‚ or perhaps a person known to Jamison who helped with the composition; it's pretty useless to#wonder tho bc I'm unlikely to find out much more. wright himself isn't that well remembered today‚ although his work is sometimes sampled#by hiphop artists‚ and some later bigger artists would name him as an influence. it's understandable; the man had an incredible voice#a rich and emotive delivery which really sells the depth of pain that makes for a great blues song but without ever becoming too much#there's a touch of humour too (the opening lines particularly)#but there's something very simple and very beautiful about those final two lines I've quoted#some great insight into the human experience#wright struggled with addiction and criminal charges in later life which certainly hurt his career#he died‚ much too young‚ in 1980
