Uggh I 1000% agree about Grammarly, it’s a dumpsterfire. The premium suggestions where it’s just removing the word? Like?? If I didn’t want the word there, it wouldn’t be there??
But chapter 4 of Trash Sugar Magic was so cute, I was giggling so much! My heart is so warm and fluffy after reading it! I’m gonna be rereading it all week!! I can’t wait to read more, I’m so invested!!
Wishing you all the best and have a wonderful week! Best of luck with your assignments! 💛
OMG i really hate it when they suggest to remove words like BRO they always tell me to remove 'own', 'really', 'actually' bcs it is considered redundancy. like shut up😭 i have set my style to creative writing and informal but still- it's so flawed and it's hard to proofread and edit when you don't have a beta reader :') i don't buy premium and never plan to because i trust my wording more ☠️
and thank you for reading the latest chapter! i planned to make the whole laundrette scene as something short but boom— 7.0k. sorry for the late tho bcs i actually rewrote the whole chapter. kinda wanna give some cute moment before we traumatise both y/n and nikolai teehee
TikTok has some good takes, great takes even, but you can tell when someone hasn’t read the absolute dumpsterfire that is the twilight saga when they try to argue over something that SMeyer unfortunately has told us too much about
Like some girl was arguing oh we don’t know how old Ribosome will be when she matures! Uh we kinda do SMeyer said around 7 she’ll look 17. It’s in the book and the guide… or lol they can’t kiss with tongue. Like they do it’s in eclipse(?) or breaking dawn pre-wedding. Even steph was like a sprinkle of spice (as spicy as mormons can get anyways). Or someone was arguing edward’s salvia should have turned Bella when she swallows it? Like -! Or Jacob x Rhinoceros was CUTE with romantic edits and all like! Someone was romanticizing Rosalie, Emily, Leah, and Esme’s traumatic experiences saying it built them to become strong women like?? No babes shut it.
Twilight has so many flaws and problematic material. Let’s focus on those. If you’re going to criticize it let’s criticize it don’t just get on the bandwagon on hating it for giggles. Some amazing creators on here talk about Native representation, SA/PTSD/narcissism/depression, folklore used, plot holes, Mormonism - be critical and petty. Not just petty.
(Please no hate. I genuinely do think some TikTok creators are great but 1) read critically and 2) read what you criticize before going off of what people say. 3) I’m open for opinions on this! Just let’s keep it respectful!)
[[Hey, is there a way to not see someone's posts? Like, beyond just blocking. If I follow someone, and that person reblogs from someone I have blocked, it seems like I still see the post despite the block, because the follow+reblog overrides that? Or am I doing something wrong? Or, knowing this dumpsterfire of a site, is it possibly a bug?
I refuse to name names and start drama, so please don't ask who I'm talking about, but it's really fucking annoying to see the art of someone who su*cide-baited one friend AND the memes of someone who tried to rally a hate mob against my other friend/said they deserve to be shot - both cases being because of ships - multiple times a day. ]]
EDIT: I, a known fool, forgot blacklisting exists. Thank you all <3

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - Prologue: Camp Quotes (incomplete for now)
So, uh… since there’s no datamine for Three Hopes so far and having to check my billions of screenshots to find something is really annoying, I’ll try to post the Japanese lines whenever I have time. It’s going to be a very disorganised mess, but I’ll do my best to avoid making your eyes bleed. And because I’m a fucking idiot and a bad, bad mooner, you’ll get Golden Dumpsterfire’s lines first. But… it doesn’t matter in the first chapter anyway, so...:
rick doesn’t write nor is in charge of whatever goes on in readriordan they do their own thing over there. also mark wrote the book, which is why characters seem ooc - rick still had input in terms of outlining, plot, editing etc but mark basically wrote it. mark has talked about how much control rick gave him so I can’t see Rick being nitpicky about the details. He doesn’t even seem nitpicky in the books he writes solo. now i understand that obviously not everyone knows that and i personally don’t really like mark’s writing style, but they’re a queer poc who put a lot work into writing a story for kids about love, acceptance and overcoming trauma, something they very personally relate to. i’m not saying it can’t be critiqued at all because of this but some of you aren’t even really critiquing it you’re just genuinely being harsh and mean and refuse to even see past the words on the page to see the message and the impact this’ll have on kids, especially queer ones. but no it’s completely irredeemable and a dumpster fire all because clearly people prefer rick’s writing style to mark’s. I just…..ugh. so so disappointing.
well, actually, my genuine problem with it is the way that it was written. the pacing of it, I mean, the way that the story flows just feels wrong, poorly thought out, and poorly executed.
I'm not saying that people can't enjoy the book. And I understand that it's not written for people my age. But from the standpoint of a writer, the book is genuinely just not as good.
Mark writing the book and pouring all their love and devotion into it doesn't change the fact that it feels like it falls flat from an actual writing standpoint. It feels like it was a surface level first draft, the rough outline for what the story was going to be. It's the barest of bones, full of continuity errors and references that feel jarring coming from the characters they come from, moments that feel like they're trying to mimic the original PJO series and instead fall flat and just feel like a mockery.
The topics that the story wanted to address felt like they were shoehorned in - the whole plot was weird and contrived, the fact that Hades was the one who orchestrated the whole thing, the book itself already doesn't make sense just based on that alone.
And the way that the story went about discussing Nico and Will's trauma, I don't know. It felt like every other second Nico and Will were switching rapidly between being confident and flirtatious to individually nervous wrecks, their thoughts didn't feel entirely grounded, the action sequences felt jerky and uncoordinated, I couldn't ever get into the character's head. I couldn't ever really see it through their eyes, if that makes sense, because things were being TOLD to us the whole time, not SHOWN to us. It's one of the first things you're told when you start writing: show, don't tell.
I will say that you're right. Some of us are just being outright mean to the book, which is our right, just like it's your right have not found anything objectionable during your readthrough. And that's totally fine! We're all entitled to our own opinions, that's the joy of being online. Those of us who are roasting the book, calling it a dumpsterfire or saying it resembles a 2013 era Wattpad fic, we're all being dramatic and mean because that's just how fandom is. That's how fandom has always been. We criticize the new media because it will never be as good as the origal, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
You're right that this book also means a lot in terms of queer rep. It's fucking insanely cool that Riordan and Oshiro got to write such a blatantly queer story about overcoming mental health troubles and navigating a relationship when you're young and traumatized! And they published it through Disney! That's a fucking massive win for representation in media, it's a crazy cool thing to have added to such a popular, well known universe like PJO! I myself figured out I was queer through reading PJO and feeling a connection to Nico specifically, so, yeah, seeing a stand-alone story about him and his boyfriend is actually really really cool to me.
That does not mean that I have to kiss it's boots and act like it's gods gift to gay kids, because it isn't. In the end, it's still a just book. it's still fallible. It is allowed to have it's faults, and I'm allowed to say what I want to about it, just like you are.
peace and love, friend. I hope you have a wonderful evening.
Fuck it. I'm posting this shitpost dumpsterfire and nobody can stop me.
Can you tell what episode I REALLY didn't like.
Also I'm genuinely shocked that there were no dink-doink springy jokes made when the episode came out but ig nobody watched that Saberspark review FHUSDFUDH unless it's all on twitter because i don't go there and never plan to
Btw the Bot pin joke and this whole doodlepage was made before the whole Bot plushie reveal so that's why it's the Bot pin instead but. Yeah it aged a little too well
And yes that horribly formatted comic is a direct reference to a Spongebob episode thanks
EDIT: Oh my god the video link broke gimme like 10 minutes to fix it HUHFDUH
EDiT 2: Ok nvm it just took like 5 years to load for me I guess it's fine??
I’m getting drunk tonight and I realized last time I said I was updating BOU and I HAVE LIED TO YOU
But in all honestly I was reading it back and it was honest rushed dumpsterfire trash hence why I didn’t post it. Some of the shit in it was just plan bad. Like trying to write a smut with three people is so fucking complicated as it is ADD FUCKING OMEGAVERS BULLSHIT it makes it even more frustrating because at some points in the first draft it did not sound all very consensual even though I KNEW it was. So yeah had to rewrite it
bUT I DO HAVE A HIDDEN MOMENTS CHAPTER EDITED would you be okay with that? It’s not the car scene-but it is Yoongi and the MC in his office after her asked her out on the date! It’s short compared to my chapters but very cute. I have a couple other from early chapters but they’re choppy!
I don't think I ever had one of these on this blog before. So, some might already know that I got side blogs for Teen Wolf and Vikings, but this one is my main blog and kind of a dumpsterfire when it comes to fandoms and other posts I reblog.
Recently I got into gif making for other shows than Vikings and you can find those under #bitchofdarkness gifs or in short #bod gifs or you can switch the "gifs" to "edits" if you want to look those up.
If you see me reblogging a show you also enjoy and want to chat about it, just hit my dms! I'm usually not the kind of person to initiate conversation, but I do reply without feeling bothered if someone else approaches me. So don't be shy, I'm just as awkward as everyone else xD
