#I'm bitter now

[egophiliac]

I DID IT I GOT MY PINK HAYATE now I am never doing that again!

(at least until they give me, like, a frilly unicorn Kamui or something)

you have to love people for real. and that means loving them as people who have flaws, and will annoy you or get on your nerves some times. treating them like a toy or product you can throw away when you get bored or upset is not acceptable. it's what we've been conditioned to do, but it makes the world worse.

Some top tier Caduceus quotes I've been thinking about in these Downfall times. Something about how so much of Ludinus' position seems to rest on revenge. Showing Bells Hells the squabbling of the gods as they debate what to do about Aeor, and asking 'You can just watch bad people get away with it?'

It doesn't matter if the gods were wrong for their choices. Killing them won't bring back Aeor and it won't stop the violence that Ludinus and the Ruby Vanguard have visited on the world. I just don't see what it's for.

Gravity Falls getting censored, TOH getting shortened, Amphibia getting censored by Disney and having iffy promotion, and now TGAMM getting cancelled and not promoted properly.... D*sney isn't hiding how much they don't give a fuck about their animated shows, huh?

What Bellamy Blake deserved: NOT FUCKING THAT

Oh how I miss the days when I was confidently waiting for Clan Wren to eventually pull up in Mando. How naive I was...

[hoofpeet]

I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough

hiii im sure you’ve answered this before but in regards to your twst x Pokémon, how do you choose which Pokémon go give to the cast?? really curious since your choices are unique :O

unique in a good way, I hope? 😅 (jk jk I haven't come across too many pokemon AUs, so I was going in without preconceptions, I guess!) I was sorta aiming somewhere between doing, like, a full AU with internal consistency and everything, and just picking entirely based on theme/character, so maybe that's why! basically I just set some arbitrary rules (no legendaries/no repeats/evo stages based on year) and then went on ~vibes~. a couple were also suggestions (thank you guys!) and last-minute decisions, so it was a bit of a delightful mess of ideas!

my one regret is that I should have given Riddle a Togedemaru after all. ...you know what, he can have one now, why not

Bakudeku getting extremely more popular and normalized bothers the shit out of me a little bit because I did not spend years of my life hiding that I like that ship out of fear of getting harassed for everyone to now shift so quickly over the last chapters. You like Bakudeku? MY Bakudeku? The one ship a lot of people had to pretend they didn't like in case they got attacked? For a fictional ship????? THAT Bakudeku???

Daniel and Armand spent four years meeting up and having long, intense conversations about philosophy, culture, and history before they officially got together.

They had a very active social life and seemed to spend several years doing a wide variety of interesting activities together.

Daniel mentions how he grew increasingly bitter over the years. Things between him and Armand fell apart due to Armand not being willing to turn Daniel.

Daniel is free to leave at any time. Armand won't try to chase Daniel down if Daniel doesn't want to be there.

Daniel's alcoholism spirals out of control when he isn't with Armand. Daniel has been on the verge of death because of his alcoholism multiple times prior to this chapter.

An assortment of doodles!

Some Pavels. (Wouldn't it pluralise like Pavli? Since it's a Russian name...) He's from @/ali-borsch's Vodka Tower "AU", and he's like if a man was also a man and was also a man. Cool guy!

And right under the Cool Aroace Man is my Pepstavo propaganda. I truly am Not Like Other Boys[tm].

OC time! Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. Ian. He makes me sick to my stomach.

Contemplating bringing back his curly hair from loooooong ago. (Although not like it matters what hair he's have anyway because his gruesome death and subsequent resurrection as Tin Man: Loser Edition takes his hair away anyway.)

I've never cared about sjm as a person, in the sense of, I don't care what she's up to on a daily basis and I don't care what her favorite color is, I don't care what moisturizer she uses or if she likes Indian food. I care about the books she writes and that's it.

But lately I am actively annoyed at the way she's trying to turn into a brand. All of this time and energy is being put into branding and I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. I don't care about that and so it seems easy to just ignore, right? Except... we're getting silence on the book front. If they tried to brand her at the same time as they made it clear that she or her publisher (or publicist or whatever, apparently) gave a shit about people who have been around for years, then I would just ignore the stuff I don't care about and enjoy the stuff I do. But we can't! They're acting like she's so important and so amazing that she's... too good to interact or connect with her readers? That's... a choice, I guess.

Anyway I've always said, since the beginning of my fandom days, that I would never turn anti. I find it a waste of time that could be better spent elsewhere. But jeezum eff criminey, the way that BB and she (I guess) are "handling" the next acotar release and trying to make her into a brand is pissing me off. I think the utter mess that was hofas set me off. All this hush hush and ~cool new branding~ for.... that???? okay.
