#and I have a problem

[flameunquenched]

the thing that really gets me about still wakes the deep and caz as a protag is like. he is so steady. he reminds me a lot of corvo attano from the dishonored series in that he just does what is asked of him. oh he complains and he bitches at brodie about not wanting to go back out there but he still does.

you could be fooled into thinking that he's not scared at all...until roy's death. he finds roy in the hut on the roof and the way he just absolutely shatters is utterly heartrending. not only has he seen so many others die - or, worse, become something so utterly Other and yet still also so very human - but now his best friend, the one who got him on that boat, is dead.

as someone with diabetes, the thought of dying to diabetic ketoacidosis is terrifying but...perhaps when you think about it, roy's death was the easiest, although i know that he had to have been scared and confused, knowing how DKA works. but he simply went to sleep. and in a way, i think that caz was very lucky that he didn't have to hear roy as one of the entities. i'm not sure what it would have done to roy but i can sure imagine what it would have done to caz had caz been forced to hear it.

I’m gonna give you guys a glimpse at my weird brain for the last hour.

Thought 1: Gosh I need to finishing writing the next chapter. Nine’s pov needs to be published.

Thought 2: You know what’d be cool? An isekai fic, where the OC/reader gets teleported inside the game. Let us save the lords. We’ll make Alcina like us too. Oh but I’d actually need to play… nvm. I’m not killing my lady.

Thought 3: I think I’m gonna rewatch Blank. Oh Faye is so good in it.

Thought 4: If I write a little for the next chapter I’ll finish quicker. People must hate me.

Thought 5: This teddy sheep is so soft

Thought 6: Gosh, women in suits… women in suits… women in suits… and Alcina Dimitrescu 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thought 7: wait wait Jenn… Alcina Dimitrescu in a suit… wow. Yep that’s the winner.

And that’s where I’m at. This is why nothing gets written lol. Cuz after all that I’m here in tumblr looking for fanart of Lady D in a suit.

In case you missed it - Arthur Watts has stolen the blueprints to create a new Penny unit, and after an agonizingly slow process, Number Two was created and fully functional. Drained of his strength from the transfer of aura to his greatest creation, Number 2 was to operate in her creator's stead as Salem's intelligence gatherer and spy. In her time of operation, she witnessed countless times humans and Faunus abused machines as though they were lesser beings. Having enough, Number Two has broken away from her design, her purpose, her creator and has declared a new revolution against Remnant. A war against humanity using the machines Atlas builds to form her army. In a final transmission, she delivered this message to Atlas...

--------------------------------------------------

Two: Do you know what we will do to you if you lose? What we will do to you after what you've done to us?

Two: NOTHING.

Two: We will not enslave you. We will not eradicate you. We will not take your kingdoms.

Two: We will leave you alone. We will give you peace. We will give you another chance that you never gave us.

Two: We will return to Wattsanus and rebuild everything you have destroyed.

Two: You do not deserve this. You will make us regret this.

Two: Until then...

Two: MINDS OVER METAL...

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.

"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.

"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.

"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?

"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

Yeah, bisexuals do that sometimes.

Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

something that drives me insane on a relatively regular basis as a body jewelry understander is talking to people who have sensitive skin who are like "oh well I just can't wear any earrings without my ears getting inflamed" and I say "well what have you tried" and they say "well I've tried sterling silver and I've tried gold..." and it's like. ok. I don't know how gold and sterling somehow got spun by the jewelry industry as being especially good for sensitive skin but whenever I'm like "well have you tried implant grade titanium" they're always like "no....... but I've tried sterling silver... and it didn't work ..." like. I don't know how this narrative about sterling silver somehow got so strong but when they put pins in your fucking legs when you snap your leg in half are those pins made of sterling silver or are they made of implant grade titanium or surgical steel????????? HELLO. HI. YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TRYING IMPLANT GRADE TITANIUM I AM JUST SAYING
