I read Beowulf for a class and for some reason I cant stop thinking about Dragon!Bill, clever and ancient, guarding a hoard... bored to tears. Is Dipper a serf trying to steal gold to buy his own freedom? Or does his accidentally stumble in, trying to hide after being accused of witchcraft? Has he been sent as a sacrifice? Maybe he's also just really bored and wants to head Bill's fabled riddles.

Idk, the plot bunnies are all over the place, I just live here.

Dragon Bill is always a fun time! You know he's not only hoarding gold but secrets, as well as being A Total Beast of Mass Destruction and Devastating Nuisance in the surrounding area.

people writing huge think pieces about other episodes this season but immediately reducing Dot and Bubble, an episode that is in part very explicitly about racism, to jokes about "kids and their TikToks" is so fucking telling like are you people not embarrassed

((i shift into Play Pokémon mode again)) oooh ok so in any game i enjoy periodically returning to the home town and visiting the player’s mom and stuff. the last few times i visited mom in nuvema town i was kinda surprised by how flippant her dialogue was. it was like ‘ok now that that’s taken care of better get back your journey!’ like hi honey get out of here?? anyway i’m not sure exactly which story event triggered it buuut now she has more interesting things to say

she comments on cheren and bianca and hoping they’re finding themselves on their journeys too (i care them!!!). she talks about what makes a good trainer (someone who cares a lot about their pokémon). she directly mentions the player’s father having gone on a pokémon journey once (yet not where he is now. lol) i love to see it!!!!!!

[soldier-poet-king]

I DID finally start carrying around a journal for when I'm bored at work and start Thinking Like This and trying to glimpse the secrets of the universe while waiting for Tasks

Y'know? It's going great. Today I have written

Martyr complex = desire for meaning and ambition for Great Work? Not just linked to absolute dogshit self esteem and childhood issues but the unceasing hunger of existence

So truly. Great self awareness here. Having a normal one. I bet they wanna study me like a bug SOOOO bad

love being in the star wars fandom. there's always A Take. it's usually.....fine?? and then it goes from ragging on people who rag on star wars to.....ragging on people who like a different Flavour of star wars, as if there was only ever one flavour and it is sanctioned by George. Wild. actually my take on star wars is better than all of yours because I have equal disdain for all kinds of star wars fans including myself. we're all at the devil's sacrament. some for the spectacle and magic, some to people-watch the freaks in the shadows, many, in fact, for both. eta: and yeah some are maybe looking for real world political pointers (how 2 summon devil to my own sacrament / how 2 make sure no devils come to my sacrament / what is the devil's motivation in attending this, or any other sacrament) but like. we're still all there, interpreting reality in our own individual ways but still brought together by the event itself :3

Remember how thanks to Pierre people started calling Norris Lando Norizz? Well now the Checo fans are calling him Lando Nowins

The Checo fans should pipe down a bit because homeboy this year really got screwed over by team and teammate without even a courtesy reach around 💀

what does a player cheating in a game look like to the characters. i have a b2 run where i cheated in a darkrai as a starter bcuz it's cool, but to my protag they're just going "woahh!! i didn't know tepig was a dark type!" and bianca's dialogue doesn't change so she is looking at this kid and his darkrai (which he named cuddles) and just goes :| "yeah that's a tepig!!" and leaves

at level 5 darkrai doesnt know any attacking moves, as most legendaries/mythicals do, cuz you can't get them at level 5, so i had to cheat in TMs to beat the first gym. i choose to believe prior to becoming a trainer my character was just an avid TM collector and now he's excited to use them.

there's cheats to not use HMs too. and here i choose to believe its just darkrai doing everything. tree in the way? it got claws and dark powers. strength? no problem. surf? picking him up gently by the scruff and carrying him across the water.

i played it as a dark monotype run for funsies so my character just thinks they're cute and names them all after sleep related terms to match Cuddles the Darkrai. when i got a sneasel i made it shiny and named it Malk. he uses dark types because he geniuenly thinks grimsley is cool and wants an autograph. so he's going for the elite four.

i choose to believe that everyone knows that's not a tepig and instead the bringer of bad dreams but because he's too dumb to get it nobody is telling him ever. darkrai dragged him out of that one spooky house because of bad vibes

everyone doing the typical "wow you're such a special trainer" protag spiel but they're all gritting their teeth smiling because they still want to sleep at night

it started with cheating to spice up a replay and it somehow catapulted into roleplaying and i now have like 4 pokemon ocs-ish that came about this way

when my books are all the rage and popular across the globe, i am not afraid of the freaky weird bad fanfiction that people might write (i am excited for it even) but i am deeply discomfited by the idea of people like. hopepunking my shit. like i really really really want a way to make it clear one day that my original blorbos are not to be turned into Examples of Positive Healing or hopepunked or hopewashed into “but one day they just wake up and they know how to love and be okay and are only ever mildly unhappy after that <3” like. one of my nightmares. i would prefer there to be sooo much dark fic over limp sanitized morally and socially correct linear healing narratives.
