every single one of Elijah’s love interests are incredibly hot and badass woman, and that’s just what happens when you’re the sexiest man in the entire tvdu

#tvd #the originals #elijah mikaelson #when it comes to face and voice marcel is the hottest man hands down #but something about elijah in to specifically just oozes sex appeal idk idk that’s just me #and haylijah is my ride or die but I’m still bitter about how the writers put elijah with all these beautiful woc #only to discard them when the plot was done with #and violently too #like why couldn’t we have kept celeste the entire season??#WHY????#Gia’s whole story was completely thrown away for man pain #and aya …don’t even get me started #she had so much going for her as a character and she had relationships with a lot of the cast #the show tried to be more diverse but still treated the characters of color outside the main cast like crap #even then the way they wrote marcel was eyebrow raising at times #and they never fully used vincent to his potential #and keelin was a glorified extra #N E WAYS UNMM ELIJAH YOURE SEXY AND HAVE GOOD TASTE IN WOMEN

You know what feature we need to bother staff for next? Other people’s posts getting flagged as counting towards “strikes” on our blogs.

#like I am so serious tumblr staff look at me #one: we can’t even see how many strikes any of our blogs have; side or main #two: this is as ridiculous as teachers not giving the class recess just because one dude misbehaved; it’s group blaming & unnecessary #three: we can’t delete flagged posts on tumblr mobile at least on older versions idk how newer versions are #you set it up so it’s nearly impossible to keep your blog from not getting shadow banned #saying as someone who was previously flagged due to posts being retroactively flagged from the content ban of around 2016 #this ‘feature’ literally makes no sense; why are we at fault for reblogging anything; we aren’t OP #why should flags on another blog affect everyone else?? it’s stupid #please fix this tumblr staff #this is without tackling all the issues with marginalized folks being flagged more I’m trying to make an appeal to the people in charge :/#mine #op #tumblr #tumblr mobile #tumblr staff #tumblr glitch

i think taking a break from writing smut for like almost a year has been rly refreshing bc i think it made me stop questioning if my writing is interesting without sex and just write it how i want. and then tbh a part of me has realized i like writing without the sex half the time. it’s nice. it’s fun to explore intimacy in as many non sexual ways as you can

#not that i don’t like writing smut #bc tbh sometimes u just have to write gojo cumming #to feel fulfilled #but #yeah idk #dipping my toes back into sm.ut has been a journey #bc on one hand i actually didn’t like it at all when i started writing it again #i was like bro how did i write this so often #this sucks ass i will go back to sfw fluff cuteness #but then i slowly got back into the swing of things #and now it’s like #ok yeah i did miss this a bit #but i think if anything #the break was good for me it made me #overall more confident in my writing and it’s ability to compel / draw in an audience without sex appeal #but also just have more plot based development #which is why i’m so happy w that post canon geto fic #bc me of a year ago #could never fathom writing 10k words of no smut #yeah anyway ramble over #but that being said #ima till write pure filth for october LMAO

Sorry guys, rant incoming. I considered deleting this but I put too much effort in.

"girlboss" "girl dinner" "girl math" "boy math" "gen z are making fun of us for wearing x" "here's how to dress like gen z:" "girlies" "girl's night" "boy's night" "me and the boys" "90s kid"

"I don't feel like an adult" "I'm 34 and I can tell you, I still don't feel like an adult either." "My parents seemed like real adults when they were my age." "I still feel like a teenager."

Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you started calling yourself one. Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you stopped trying to dress like a teenager. Maybe you should move your bed out from the wall and get a wallet. Maybe find a calendar app that works for you.

You are an adult. Even if you live with your parents. Even if you do part-time shift work at minimum wage. Even if you haven't graduated college. Even if you are single. These are adult things to do. Because you are doing them. And you are an adult. Start treating yourself like an adult. Fake it 'till you make it if you have to.

In other, writing-related, news:

That trend on TikTok of 20-40 something women authors (and writers yet to be published) promoting their books like,

"Omg! I can't believe I've sold X number of copies!! I never thought I would!" "Ahhhh imagine publishing your book and all your dreams come true and now you get to meet famous authors and work with big names in the industry!!" "Would you read a book where [proceeds to list a bunch of oversaturated tropes that tell me nothing about the actual plot]?"

It reeks of infantilization. If you didn't believe anyone would want to read your book, why should I? You made it on the NYT bestseller list! Stop acting like a mega-fan who got to meet a celebrity. You are their peer! "Would you read a book--" What if I wouldn't? Why does it matter to you what I think of your book? And for the love of god stop hiding behind tropes you know are already popular. "Here is my book: This is what it is about." Have some goddamn confidence.

It is fine to mention in passing "this idea was really far-fetched so I didn't know if it would appeal" or "I was struggling with self-esteem when I wrote this". It's fine to fan a little bit. It's fine to discuss the tropes in your book. But why are you building your brand as an author off of your inferiority complex? You are using your poor self-esteem as a marketing tactic to seem "humble" and "relatable" but it's coming across as unprofessional and desperate for reassurance. You are an adult. You are competent. The more you act like it the more you will believe it.

And of course, I haven't seen a man promote his book this way...

On another note, do any of the 20-40 something women writers who do "write with me" videos on TikTok actually enjoy writing or are they just doing it for the aesthetic?

They all have gorgeous minimalism writing spaces full of white and pink and a macbook beneath a window. Their makeup is done and they are conventionally pretty to start with. But their entire video is just them talking about how little progress they made, how many pages they deleted, how often they got distracted, how frustrated they are. And like, yeah. We all have those days. But what about the good lines you can't wait to share? The days when the words just flow? The cool stuff you learned while researching? Why don't you ever make videos about that?

Is this some other attempt to seem "relatable" by only talking about the "bad" side of writing? Because again, it's coming across as lacking confidence at best and, at worst, that you don't actually know how to write. And that is not the brand you want as an author.

Again, its always women. Why must women market their self-esteem issues in order to sell their art? Why must we be perpetually awestruck children (girlies, book girls) in over our heads?

#also why do I get the sense these women are selling a lifestyle more than they are actually promoting their own books?#I feel like someone more qualified than me could link this to modelling good christian gender roles #and cultural conformity or something #it isn't lost on me how much of this is about trying to seem humble #and how much validation is tied to protestant success and hard work ideas #is this where the indoctrination starts?#give us 'role models' as influencers #also Alex Aster of Lightlark fame is the WORST for this #her content makes me physically sick to watch #and again interesting that it is pretty widely agreed on at this point that she is an industry plant #interesting that the industry plant is leaning so heavy on the humility and infantilization of women tactics #as though appealing to protestant christians is a major concern of the industry #what's that about? is it just sales? or is it related to those evangelical groups trying get books banned?#how much influence does conservative christian america have within the trad pub industry?#maybe I am really reaching here idk #I don't have any sources #it's just speculation I am open to be proven wrong

is it because i'm getting older and gayer or is there really a surge of self-help books happening around me? and am i a curmudgeon to say that they're bullshit?

#why read some boring bland thing when you can read a memoir or a poem or a novel that breaks you open in a new and interesting way?#idk it's just a genre that's never appealed to me #and there appears to be this book culture that values the self-help genre as 'more virtuous' than fantasy or other types of fiction and it'#just....grow up. read what you want #idk if a book has helped you then that is great for you #but....there's just so much more stuff to read #and not everything one reads should be a how-to guide on how to live life #there's parts of the brain that ignite and exercise when you read something that isn't explicitly designed to be directed at you.

So I finally found the time to read Chapter 5 + the Hades event of What in Hell is Bad? and AAHHH LEVIATHAN?!! God, his character is so interesting and I can’t wait to see more of him.

Idk I just find his personality and cold attitude towards MC quite refreshing. Not to mention that he has such a lovely voice and beautiful appearance…….aaahhh he’s so intriguing <3

AND LEVIATHAN’S H SCENE?? Let’s just say that my inner sadist was very happy with how it turned out. Honestly, we need more characters who are masochist + power bottom ψ(｀∇´)ψ

#jessamine rambles #spicy warning #mdni #i’ll be honest tho. i may be the only player who was relieved/ neutral about whb’s uncensored stuff being limited to the erolabs version #if only bc i rlly dislike looking at errr…..certain body parts in both 2d and irl. idk i’m more of the ‘let’s artfully cover this body part #with angles or a random item covering it.’ mayhaps it’s one of the little aspects of me being somewhere on the gray ace spectrum #but that’s a topic for another day skskk #re: leviathan’s attitude towards mc. i just find it delightfully realistic in the same way that twst handles mc’s relationship with the cas #i.e. the twst boys don’t fall head over heels for yuu nor become close to them #idk i used to play obey me! and got burnt out by how the focus on romance affected the story quality + how some characters were written #so maybe that’s why whb’s leviathan appealed to me. that and it simply makes for an interesting dynamic between him and mc #and i do hope that whb gives us more sub! or masochist! characters bc AHHHH WE NEED MORE #as an S. i was fcking delighted with leviathan’s scene #anyway that’s all from me re: whb xD

this is going to be an annoying rant so feel free to ignore it but so actually are there no good universities in all of the united states that don't leave you in lifelong debt?????? like hello???????? everywhere i look at that seems interesting and doesn't have reviews talking about how no one cares about you and you're on your own the entire time you're there or the staff/students are -ist/-phobic or no one does work and just goes to parties or other such things they're talking about the expenses. i want a degree because i need one if i want to do anything but i don't know if i want it enough to be in debt for my whole life. and why is the us like this. i just want to go somewhere else this country does not seem worth it to me. i want to go back in time and find a way to sink every european colonizer ship that landed on the land of the americas

#genuinely the more i look at college prices the more reasonable it feels to just go overseas somewhere instead... japan #if i'm gonna be paying at LEAST 15000 a semester wherever i go why don't i go do that in japan where i'm actually passionate about the #language and have reasons to use it and a potential to do something with it and can get places without a car and. etc #and the 15000 semester is a 15000 YEAR #only reasons the idea of being in america has ever appealed in the slightest to me is that it's a little easier to be openly queer #in certain places. not all of them!#and it's probably one of the most racially diverse places #whenever i look online people say that degrees in japan aren't worth anything but i feel that might just be them being racist #surely there are numerous people who went and got degrees in japan and are living happily. and idk bc they aren't on reddit #or posting on blogs or anything #god i feel UGHHHHH i hate everything #i know that as a Country with History japan is not particularly better than the us i know #but it's just the small things like being able to get places w/o cars and not have to pay an arm and a leg to heal like a small cut i got #that needs to be stitched. or not paying my whole body to pay off the debt of going to college because getting an education is #just not what they. want from you. they want your soul and your entire life in their hands #why am i living in this world #1 am thoughts i know but god

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD!#anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman.#but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr.#but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.'#OK!#but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

i've been thinking about this and i feel like the difference btwn anne and mary boleyn is actually most evident in the early 1520s; if anne had been more like mary she probably would have married percy regardless, damn the consequences. it doesn't make one 'better' than the other, i think just different...

altho sometimes i think mary's decision to wed stafford in 1534 in particular is understandable in context, it wasn't done to marry without royal consent of course but mary had been a widow for like six years and widows had a considerable amount of freedom in their marriage choices, certainly more than wards or women of nobility making their first marriage, had she not been the sister of the queen it might have been more easily forgiven.

also there's arguably precedent to some extent, she was hviii's sister in law whereas his actual sister had been able to make her own choice in her second marriage once widowed, of course she had to pay fines for this transgression and all this but she was invited back to court eventually after asking wolsey to intercede with her which parallels how mary wrote to cromwell, wolsey's 'successor' iyw, for her own intercession for royal forgiveness/mercy.

#but yeah the actual earl of northumberland (i feel like people forget this was henry percy's dad. at the time. he was just the heir)#being like oh you want to marry AB? well that's fine but i might just disinherit you and give my earldom to one of your brothers #probably made him a much less attractive candidate to anne herself and that's why im like were they more similar she wouldn't have cared #but it was likely a large part of his appeal . that he was set to inherit northumberland #i don't think percy wanted to inherit nothing just to marry anne and i don't think anne probably wanted to marry a man set to inherit nothi #saurrr....#idk i feel like it's made (AOTD effect) to be a star crossed lovers thing which just annoys me bcus there's couples from the tudor era #who fit this better; like margaret douglas and thomas howard for instance...#or the forbidden love trope ig.

#Aight I'm no marketing strategist but like. It doesn't take a genius to see on my dash everyone going #“If there's not going to be new bsd content soon I'm just gonna drop it”#I really don't get why they went for this route. Oh well. *Goes make the bsd reread announcement post I've been procrastinating on making*#random rambles #Tbh I too have found myself a little tired with bsd but also.#Idk I like the fandom.#Even if I'm not as excited about it as I used to be right now it's still something that makes me happy to interact with every day.#I like the format. To an extent I also like not getting new content because it gives myself the illusion-#I will be able to focus on studying more (lol)#Or at least dedicate myself to other projects I've been wanting to complete #And one of the main appeals of bsd to me stays how the content is widely accessible.#Like I love p/p and I definitelly love it a thosuand times more than I do b/sd. I truly love that franchise.#But besides from watching the anime it's impossible to get your hands on the extra content (manga‚ novels‚ dramas‚ stage plays‚ fanbooks)#Which left me - archivist obsessed - just frustrated #With bsd aside from very niche things (I love you pricey fanbooks... )#Most of the main content is within reach. Man I was able to compile a magazines archive. I could have never done it with p/p #So yeah it's just. A space that fits my very specific kind of autism #Why am I even discussing this again?

Personally of the belief that live action fans who go onto animanga posts uninvited like 'I DESPERATELY NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK THE ART STYLE IS UGLY EVEN THO THIS OPINION IS IRRELEVANT TO THE POST' should be hit with a big rock. We already moved past this ten years ago, get with it or get lost. Swallow the hunger inside of you that demands everything be palatable to you. Maybe you could stand to be a little uncomfortable for a while

#Keep ur trashy comments to yourself #It's not even ugly! It's just not the conventional anime style so you deem it ugly. That's so fucking sad of you #You're the type of person who sees a piece of art and is like OMG WERE THEY ON DRUGS?!?!?!?!?!#Idk I think the art style is very fitting for the gigantic world Oda has built #People are allowed to be ''ugly'' because not all of us were born to be models. Shock and horror I know #(this is NOT aimed at the ppl who critque the way Oda draws women (to a degree...) bc I agree he could've done the same for women as he doe #The men by giving them way more diverse features and body shapes)#No this is aimed at the ppl who think the style as a whole is ugly and demean it bc it doesn't suit their tastes #Meanwhile their taste is the most conventional cookie cutter bland pretty boy/girl bullshit out there #(I say to a degree up there bc I think ppl go way too far with the criticisms like the one person who posted the Charlotte family identical #Sisters and went LOOK HOW SIMILAR THESE WOMEN ARE ODA SUCKS when they were MEANT to look similar)#^ yes that is an actual post I saw in like 2018 or 2019 when WCI was reaching its end in the anime and it made me die laughing #There are dozens of other examples you could've given but no. You intentionally chose the triplets (quintuplets? It's been a hot minute)#Rebecca and Nami and Vivi and Shirahoshi all having the exact same face with different hair? No I will use the identical twins as proof #What a unique way to undermine your own argument bc I was with you up until that #Anyway yeah the more I think abt the more I think the live action sucks actually for getting rid of Sanji's eyebrows bc they'd 'look bad'#Who cares? It's part of his design. You are cutting off parts of his character. Same w/ Usopp's nose.#Who fucking cares if it would have looked 'bad' or 'ugly'? Is that all you guys really care about? Keeping up appearances???#I'm so sick of the shit I like getting 'remade' to appeal to people who will never actually appreciate why stuff looks the way it does #It's so shallow I hate it #<- yes I'm still bitter about what they did to my boy WW in the three guns reboot iykyk #And Livio and Razlo for that matter. What the FUCK was that about #Idk maybe it's cuz it's something I recognized in myself and attempted to squash so it's frustrating seeing other ppl do it #And again obvs Oda isn't perfect w/ this either as he draws evil women as fat old hags and his protags as skinny and beautiful #Or how he thinks not following ur dreams will make u ugly and fat and following ur dreams will make u conventionally attractive #I get it. Storytelling method. But u can do better. Use colorschemes instead of physical attributes or something like Veneer does

Bendy, This May be a Touchy subject But Do you Still Have Your Abillities & Powers over Ink? Likewise, Your Ink Demon & Beast Transformations?

Bein' a toon means I can squash and stretch myself however I like, but also bein' made out of ink just takes that to the next level. I can do almost anythin' I want with my ink, but when it comes to the big guy...

Well, when I first got that power I had a hard time controllin' him! I wasn't made havin' that power, but along the way it got passed to me. Ever since then I've never felt right, and I think the others could tell too. I worked my ass off tryin' to keep him under control and I'm a little better off nowadays. However, I still can't help but turn into him when I'm feelin' real angry, an' thats pretty terrifyin'.

If I focus on all the rage and hatred within me, I can turn that into a big, ugly inky monster.

But I don't really like bein' this guy. He's harder to control when I'm angry and I don't like myself when I'm that way. If I become him for too long I start to get a headache and he really just takes a lot out of me.

It really doesn't help when I'm him I get these... urges, but that's enough a that now.

Like I said, I've been trainin' to control my power and I'm mostly better at using 'em now. Along with all that, I learned I could transform my body into anythin' I want, so that was pretty fun to find out. The ink manipulation's pretty neat, there's nothin' like bein' able to control your own flesh, am I right?

Of course it's good at protectin' others and for self defense! Now no one can ever mess with me or my friends, unless they're lookin' to get themselves hurt. But, it's... an evil power so I have to be more careful usin' it around the people I care about.

As for the paws to hooves thing, well let's just say that along with my transformation abilities...

damn it lord van zieks I would find your absurdity so hot if you weren’t a fucking racist

#timemachine wuz here #it’s always such a tragedy when hot people ruin their appeal by having insufferable worldviews #why couldn’t you just be a fictional mass murderer or something else sexy why’d you hafta make it rancid #I really wanna get into this cape and epaulets and shattering glasses of wine by hurling them into the gas lamps behind you #but then you’re like ‘I hate the Japanese’ and it’s like aw fuck dude that sucks you’re like actively repulsive now #like 🤢#obviously in the real world there are worse things about racism than how it affects my ability to find a person hot #but in Ace Attorney that is actually the worst part #like he’s a villain and the racism against the Japanese is being written by Japanese writers in what is clearly a criticism #of the bad qualities always inherent in the British Empire and the many ways they impacted Japanese history upon their introduction #plus like a general ‘fuck cops’ ‘fuck capitalism’ vibe I’m really digging. his racism is narratively appropriate. sadly.#idk if this satire IS more overt and pointed or if the fact that for once the system being satirized is one I’m more familiar with #makes it more apparent to me #but boy people are not wrong. the satire of this franchise is NOT subtle #ace attorney #great ace attorney chronicles #lord van zieks

now that i’m reading a lot more comics ( i mean… not too much actually but definitely more than i’ve been ) i’m thinking a lot about being more comic inclined but honestly i don’t even know where to start

#i mean i do still like the mcu &#for me it's a lot easier to follow #the movies timeline but there are #a lot of things that annoy me on the mcu #like i love & hate things from both #the mcu & comics #& that’s why mix things up #always seemed a lot more appealing to me #& that’s what i’ve been doing but lol #idk how to explain what i’m feeling #i'm just using this writer's block #i'm stuck with to think about things #❅ wιтнoυт arrowѕ ( ooc ) ❅
