#I'm a terrible writer

When you just need someone to tell you YES, you can do it, no matter what IT is.

Do the Koopalings know their biological parents (if they do, what were they like)?

Ludwig: Well, are multiple parents died a year after Larry was born. I can't really remember what they were like, being only a toddler, but i just know they weren't around much. We spent alot of time in daycare.

Roy: Then we went to a stupid orphanage.

Ludwig: Yeah.

Roy: We would try to escape countless times. And when we failed we got scolded pretty harshly.

Ludwig: Then we were finally successful!! I was 16 when we left, running away from that awful kingdom and into the mushroom one.

Roy: We were homeless and broke. So we started looking for jobs. Then we found a flyer, requesting minions to help the king of Darkland with his schemes. The pay was great, and it included a place to live, and free food. All we had to do was assist some king with concoring another kingdom!! So we took some tests to see are worth, and we got the medium rank!!

Ldwig: Signed the long yet vague yearly contract. And it was official!

Ludwig: 3 years later, we are now the highest ranked, and Bowsers most feared minions!

Ludwig: we've come a long way.

Roy: yeah.

*slides in* so what kind of gestures or mannerisms from a crush/partner would make gintoki giggle while kicking his feet in the air 😏 ?? we've all seen how giddy and blushy he can get when ketsuno ana is on tv so i believe this is possible lol

-He will never kick his feet in the air because he has a decorum to keep.

-A decorum Gintoki keeps only in front of his partner since there is no problem doing that in front of Kagura, Shinpachi or whoever.

-When they give his a sweet or better, a parfait his heart will start to pump faster than usual; Gintoki will literally get heart shaped pupils.

-Or when Gintoki his sad, putting his head on their chest and calmly caressing it? Instant love, he would scream of happiness if only he wasn't so depressed.

-He never tells them, but their support keep him going.

-So instead of telling them...

"Shinpachi have you seen?? They told me I am their ray of sunshine, aren't they the best??? I couldn't ask for a better partner!! Look, today they are dressed so good, literal an-"

or

"Kaguraaaa, oh, you don't have anything to eat as a dessert? Too bad, my angel, oh let me specify, my partner, have you understood? MY PARTNER, I know unbelievable-"

-Rarely Gintoki can end one of his endless babbling about his partner, the hit his head gonna take make him pass out most of the time.

*me wondering if this upcoming Arthur Morgan x Reader fic is worthy to see the light of day or if its even good enough to be posted*

[periwinckles]

how many chapters do you plan on making for please tell me you have a middle name?

You know what I like most about this question? It's the implication that I actually know what I'm doing, and I have a plan. Sorry to disappoint you, but I really don't. In fact I'm even rethinking the whole title, because I already switched my main plot twist in the third chapter. That's a good question: should I change the fic's name or should I leave it as testament of my poor planning?

As for the number of chapters I want to say 4 or 5 because I think it will be short. But who am I kidding, I though the train back to twelve was going to be 6-7 chapters and that thing turned into a beast.

Who knows? I certainly don't.

Me: *Looks all my WIPs that need finishing* 

Also Me: Fuck it. I’m rewriting the ending of Mariposa.

My complete inability to have a proper conversation makes it so the only social interaction I really get, ESPECIALLY online, is just through watching other people's interactions. I want to interact so bad, but at the same time I know I'd ruin it and I'd rather watch you be happy in your conversation. I feel like a voyeur, watching people I know exchange words for my own social pleasure, watching others have what I cannot to compensate for my own inadequacy. I'm some stalker obsessed with the concept of society and people that's staring through their window while their words flow in between their mouths, dying to be in the middle.

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

Our children go to school everyday wondering if they'll go home. This is an obscenity. They just want to read their books, do their maths, eat their snacks and lunch and play with friends. They don't care about the genders of their classmates. They don't care about the colors of their friends skin. They worry about monsters coming into their classes with guns and killing them. Again, obscenity! Are we surprised our children are anxious and depressed? They see the grownups do nothing. The grownups who they've been led to believe are their protectors. We are failing the children, and our failure will impact generations. Fear really is the mind killer.

I have an awesome (painful) song to use as inspiration for an angsty destiel fic. I just need the will to write it.

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.

grow the apple, keep all the seeds

Nico Rosberg, second ever female WDC, visits Charles the day before her first grand prix weekend.

And Charles doesn’t talk about Nico in interviews, doesn’t list her as an inspiration the way she’s heard some of the girls in the lower formulae do it. Charles likes to talk about Michael, about Senna. If urged to name a woman she’ll say Niki Lauda. Charles doesn’t really want to be associated with girls who walk away, although she’s much too well-trained to say that out loud.

[...] And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him. We watch it happen. We read about it happening. We come to know it well. - Aoko Matsuda

one thing I absolutely love about tumblr that only exists here is the way many people unrestrainedly pour out their thoughts and reactions in the tags when otherwise they would hesitate writing it in regular comments on other platforms and I live for it. thank you everyone for liking my latest piece, it's been 162494 years since I drew anything FE3H related and I desperately needed this. it feels like I'm back home

"Talia can never be redeemed and her romance with Bruce can never come back because *falls for Grant Morrison's/DC's extreme racism towards asian and arab characters in the 2000s/2010s"

Yeah, sorry, but shut the hell up. It never fails to astound me when DC actually tries to fix the mistakes they made with Talia/the al Ghuls in general these last two decades and the fans manage to be even worse than DC by clinging to the blatant racist/sexist writing of the past instead of embracing the turn for the better.

"But she did this and that!"

She's a fictional character in a fictional universe that is aware that it goes through continuity changes/retcons. What Grant Morrison did to her character was a a complete retcon of her 30 year history and characterization with zero respect for her. Why am I supposed to take Morrison's bullshit as gospel and reject any attempts to fix her from writers who know better?

ended up thinking about the magneto + wanda vs charles + david dichotomy and --

(house of m #1 / way of x 2 + 4)

magneto is 100% not a great dad and even HE knows it and he KNOWS he's put his war before his kids but at the end of the day he does love and care for them and has wanda's state deteriorates he both tries to help her bc she just fucking DESERVES it and also falls the helplessness of someone who just cannot find a solution but so desperately wants one. it's shitty that he has her manipulate things into a mutant utopia but idk man it was kind of a dogshit situation already. I mean people are literally planning to euthanize her and given how things are going at that particular moment there's almost an argument for it. what a horrific position for him to be in as a father and a father who's trying to do at least a little for his kids to make up for YEARS of being the WORST. he WANTS wanda to have a life, even if he's not allowed in it.

MY MAN EGG CHARLIE THO-- he has a similar kid. mentally unstable reality warper. has literally reshaped related twice with his unending bullshit. david is back and FULLY in his "i rule me" era. which is when he's the most together and lucid. He's as on top of his mental issues as possible and RIGHT out the gate xavier has decided he's too dangerous to live. he refuses to return david's consciousness to his body. when david does it himself charles suspects HIS OWN SON of being the psychic poison corrupting kraoka and when david refuses to tell him what he's plans are and simply asks his father to trust him because he's his son charles violates his autonomy and tries to hack his mind. (i know xavier's getting onslaughty but also.... lbr.... it's not off brand for him to pull something like that)

like-- i'm not a charles xavier hater but i'm a charles xavier hater you know? i love david so much and charles is such a deadbeat dad. i also think this is just-- it's very telling of the differences between mags and xavier. magneto will put his mission above all 9/10 but when dealing with a situation like these it's VERY clear that it's killing him and WANTS to resolve it in the less harmful way. meanwhile charles would prefer his son back in a coma before he's shown even a SECOND of supposed instability than allow him a life because of "what he might do to the mission". like no one here is getting the dad of the year award but jfc charles is sooooooo good at rationalizing and stomaching doing horrific shit to his own kid(s) just bc they're not controllable or palatable.
