Hi GT,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I absolutely love the recs you've given (you've introduced me to tomione, and I love it!) and I was wondering if it's possible to give you some recs in return? There are some books and fics that definitely have dramione / got vibes, and I was wondering if I could share them with you!

So glad you've enjoyed them! Feel free to rec me anything you want. I've read most of the classic recs in terms of fic and adjacent content (Cruel Prince et al), but I'll try anything that's well-written. My tastes run towards weird and/or audaciously creative stuff, and I can forgive a lot of weaknesses in plot on the grounds of (1) ambition or (2) character work. My turnoffs are instalove, protagonists who can't fail, and most Y/A (I'm not a hater, I swear, I just need characters who can say "fuck" when their leg gets chopped off.)

I'm also a fan of weird and fucked-up dynamics.(Wuthering Heights was my favorite book for a while, and as a teenager I wrote an AU in which the book ends on a long sex scene where Heathcliff fucks Cathy's ghost and then immediately gets murdered by Catherine 2.) Obviously, I am very normal.

do you ever think about how crazy life is. like at 9 years old before i even really understood the rules of football i was devastated that germany lost a world cup semifinal. and now at 27 i've spent three years of my life making friends on this silly little website that i can't imagine life without and i'm genuinely orienting my life in such a way that i could come live in germany if i wanted to

I was rewatching sunday's episode of The last of us (Episode 8: 'When We Are in Need') and when this scene of Ellie was going on all I could think about was what Anya Taylor Joy said: “I have a thing about feminine rage (...) I get a lot of ‘men doing really terrible things’ and women sitting silently while one tear slowly falls. And I’m like, “Oh no no no no no. We get mad, and angry.” And that's exactly the reaction we got from Ellie here and it deserves to be talked about because this poor young girl had to deal with so many emotions at the same time in such a short period of time.. Ellie was mad, she was angry, she was scared and worried (not only for herself but also Joel, cause as far as she knows he was barely alive and she doesn't know if he was able to defend himself or not), she had to deal with one of her worst fears of being alone, she fought and did what she had to do in order to, once again, survive (broke his fingers, bite him, burn his place, stabbed him and finally killed him) in this incredible hard world, and that's a lot of things, but mostly it was sad and heartbreaking to see it, to see all of the things she had to do in her short life to survive and stay safe and it was admirable to see how she kept it together until she found Joel and was able to breathe because she knows she's safe now and not alone anymore and he's gonna protect her if needed...

Between commissions I finally managed to finish this OC set of parent characters! If the looks aren't enough to show you who their kid is, the background colors match them ^_^ but of course more details below!

Me waiting for an magical influx of HBO!Ellie Williams x reader/OC fics cause I’m going feral over Bella Ramseys portrayal of her:

No hate to my man Joel but if I see one more fic abt him I’m gonna cry. WE WANT LESBIANS 🍆❌ 🏳️‍🌈✅

[helenofblackthorns]

I may be getting new bookshelves (they were my dead grandfather's)

[calamitydaze]

im nosy please elaborate hehe (esp on the snf stuff eyes emoji)

you got it 🫡 warning in advance for banter + snf crit but this is all from the perspective of a fan i’m not hating just to hate. and under the cut cause this is everything i’ve been holding in it’s Long

imo the problems with banter boil down to 1) a lack of direction, and 2) that it honestly seems like nobody but karl even gives a shit about it. it doesn’t even need to be a particularly inspired idea to work, just coasting off their dynamic would be fine (i don’t think karl/sap/george is a great combo for this format but that’s not to say it can’t ever work, i’ve enjoyed them in past episodes) but they still need to go into sessions with like…. an idea of what to do. it’s evident in both individual episodes— losing track of the topic ten minutes in, aimless conversations, starting and stopping stories, etc— and the podcast as a whole— celebrity guests seem picked at random with minimal research done, their chris episode that had a chance of being topical didn’t come out until after the general public lost interest, and doing THREE reboots because they keep losing steam after putting out two episodes is just ridiculous (though they’ve been better about that recently, credit where it’s due). their new set actually looks great, i like it a lot, but it doesn’t make their fundamental problems better. and all that would be more excusable if i got the sense that banter was really a passion project for them, but like i said yesterday i just…. don’t think that it is 😭 i do feel like karl genuinely wants to make it work and tries hard. but snf seem like they just said yes because it’s easy for them and they’ve got literally nothing else going on, and at least imo it shows

three guys in their twenties making a mid podcast isn’t the worst thing in the world (in fact it’s healthy for them. enriches their environment) but the reason everyone is so bitter towards it is because it’s ALL we get these days, save for a stream for two every couple weeks. it’s true that banter doesn’t Actually stop them from doing anything else, if they wanted to make content they would make it, but when we hear that group streams have been canceled and snf fly to north carolina a day later that’s still what it feels like! and, maybe most maddeningly, they seem to be under the impression that most of their audience Likes the podcast?? that’s the only explanation i can think of for the hubris of booking a big venue in a low-traffic state just before vidcon with no guests but austin ever announced and the most half assed promotion i’ve ever seen (see my point about not caring). i don’t like them blaming the venue for the cancellation either, i call bs on them being “difficult to work with” and it was almost certainly because of low ticket sales. like honestly, genuinely, did none of you see this coming? it’s incredibly out of touch and even though i like all three of them i can’t help but feel bitter thinking about how the only content we can expect from content creators is something they don’t seem passionate about yet continue to ignore that their audience very resoundingly Does Not Want It

and that brings me to snf’s careers right now as a whole. i don’t have as much to say as i did yesterday cause this anon summed it up so well but it really feels like between dream not micromanaging them anymore, minecraft content in general getting lower views and more creatively burned out, and not being separately stuck inside forced to do Something to stave off the boredom, they just don’t know what to do anymore, so they do nothing (or make seven-minute mr beast videos). dream isn’t the content machine he used to be either but at least with his projects like usmp (🕊) and drusic i can feel like he’s busy with projects he loves and there will be something tangible for me in the future, so i’m more willing to wait and see. and using tommy as another example, he’s done a great job branching out into other avenues and preserving his audience when what he was doing got tired. there’s no reason snf Can’t, they just haven’t. and when i hear about things like them scolding dream for promising us things i’m like ?!? fair i guess, i’d rather not expect anything and not be disappointed, but it’s only not happening because you guys aren’t making it happen. are you really SO busy that you can’t carve out three hours in an afternoon to cook something on stream? (in fairness that could be said about all three) or do you just not want to, and expect your audience to stick around indefinitely like it’s 2020?

and this discussion has been had on tumblr already of course and to be honest i’ve never really agreed with the consensus that it’s entitled to want content from content creators, but just to cover my ass a bit LMAO: this doesn’t bother me day to day, i have life to keep me busy so i just watch something when it interests me and don’t when it doesn’t. i love that dteam seem like friends first and business partners second and i would rather preserve that than grind content! but all the same i don’t think it’s wrong as fans to be critical of what people we like are (or aren’t) putting out but as always yk feel free to chime in with agreements or disagreements or whatever i am a greek forum for minecraft youtubers

losing my MIND

[bookwyrminspiration]

I'm combing back through my years-old screenshot folders, and I stumbled on this (a response to a Google Form I once did)

huh. I wonder who wrote that

!!!! I've actually drawn the emmett egg outfit Keefe since then!! Woah!! Can't believe I actually followed through! It's here, if anyone wants to see it.

anyway I'm !!! whatever emotion a giggle is that you found my twilight rambles entertaining/endearing <33. to this day I still think about that ugly sweater and the black licorice--never once do we see her think about or mention black licorice in the rest of the series! it's literally a just that moment thing.

and I will always find it amusing that the reason bella agreed to marry edward finally was because they had a deal that if she married him then they could fuck. and she desperately wanted to fuck him. but edward wouldn't fuck her until they were married. kudos to everyone irl who wants to wait, I support you and your decision I just find everything edward and bella do to be the most hilarious thing ever and this is no exception. marriage fueled by teenage lust. did you know?? did you know that part of that agreement was that on top of fucking, edward would also turn her into a vampire? (as opposed to it being one of his family members, it had already been decided she would become a vampire. they had a vote at the dinner table. edward was not happy.) BUT! once they got married and fucked she was like...actually...what if we wait a few years. so we can have more sex? i can't be a vampire yet I need to keep fucking you. edward of course was ecstatic, because he didn't want to turn bella into a vampire (he's got this whole thing going on about damning her soul), except then bella got knocked up and needed to be vampirized so she wouldn't die. but like. if that hadn't happened. anti-vampirism sex.

I got off track, point is hehe that was me, I wrote the twilight ramble and I can't believe you've still got the screenshot <33
