☕️ marauders fandom lol

oop so i quite like my little corner of the fandom i have my beloved mutuals but there are definitely some iffy mutual-in-laws or on my little explore/for you page thing where i end up seeing exhausting takes on the fandom!! and i just think everyone’s takes are sooo annoying! i think maybe everyone should be quiet?… i swear every week i see a new post that’s like “doing this is bad” or saying x about y is not good for fandom culture or whatever and likeee sure i might agree with one take more than another but overall i think making these posts just creates more drama in general and it’s so tedious! if you ignore people saying shit you don’t agree with then it tends to just. have far less air time. it’s just on someone’s blog. but when posts are made back and forth it becomes this huge thing and idk if you just ignored it. it would have gone away. been a seven note post interaction between someone and their friend. like post on your own blog about hating a ship etc etc but discourse. like everyone stop saying things. that’s my take. i think marauders fandom is also doing things to my guys that are not what my guys would do especially because it’s gotten so big and i have to be so so brave about it. ridi is always absolutely correct no comments she’s a genius except for that time she said sirius wouldn’t put his hair up. disagree he needs slutty little strands in his face. um the way the fandom makes certain writers ‘famous’ is super weird and i think often these people play into it - not always though. i think that’s about my thoughts !! my main ones anyway!! i also really enjoy myself over here don’t get me wrong like i love my mutuals writing and fics and silly posts about those guys! there’s some interesting meta i enjoy reading even if i don’t always agree a lot of thought get put into it!! and yeah there we go x

I need an honest opinion….and I’m gonna ask a select few for this one. (A bit unorthodox I know)

I’m not a good drawer. I know I am not the best but honestly one of my other goals or dream I should say is make comics of my stories. Just fun side comics like the scenarios and oneshots I write (I’m not confident enough to draw the main story….).

I only want to try because my drawings have improved a lot (I even made redraws of my characters recently). Yeah they were worst before….but here’s where I’m going with this: If I tried it, would you interested? People seem to like my fluffy oneshots and funny scenarios but it’s the art I’m concerned about. I’ve just been in a drawing mood lately….

Would you be interested in my comics?

(Just comment your opinion)

So is it bad that I still like Chloé in spite of Astruc's bullshit. Yeah her not redeeming stings and I agree, but I still find her funny and realize being an egotistical diva is part of her character (and let's be real, watching a near 50 year old man act like a fictional teenager pissed in his cornflakes is pretty pathetic, no matter what you think of Chloé) and Season 4 had some genuinely funny moments with her if you can look past all the BS with Zoé.

I personally think it's fine to like Chloe. I like Chloe. I don't really enjoy her character much now but I don't enjoy anyone's character now so can't really hold that against her.

I also think it doesn't matter what people tell you (yes that includes the makers of the very character), you are allowed to like whatever character you want. It's pretty awesome that you're still loving Chloe. Even after all the turmoil the show, show writers, and fandoms have put ya through you're still going on strong! Ashamed to say I've nearly given up on Chloe but she's, again, not the only character. I still love them enough to write fanfics but I am just not strong enough to watch the show much anymore. I hate Astruc's attitude towards Chloe and her fans so I can't blame ya for being ticked. He can be quite rude. Or well... he's almost always rude when it comes to Chloe, I should say. Not to mention he fails to think things through. I don't get why he refuses to forgive and forget the bully he based her off of. Like I'm totally for writers writing in a character based on someone they don't like just to kill them off later or give them a small punishment in the story that's not too important. I get that. It helps ya process and calm down and let go. But in Astruc's case it only seems to fuel his rage? The man ticks me off but I can't help but feel bad for him when it comes to things like this. Off-topic; Anyway, no, it's not bad you like Chloe. You do you. You're allowed to like whatever character you like and the characters you like should not be a reason to judge you. I like Signora from Genshin Impact a little too much and she's a horrible person. I don't think I'd have any right judging you if I wanted to anyway! I love your icon and name, btw! Nice rarepair! Feel free to drop by again and talk about Chloe! She's a fun character to explore and now that the gates are shut for her canonically we have free reign to do whatever we want! Thanks for your lovely ask and I hope you're having a wonderful day, night, afternoon, evening, or whatever time it is where you are! <3

Controversial topic, but I’m genuinely curious. I have watched a bit of the trial of Deep vs Heard (I don’t claim to be an expert or anything) but I’m curious why people don’t accept Amber is an abuser. Idk if Depp is an abuser or not, since there has been no actual evidence providing Heard’s claim. But I do know that the audio clearly has her sayings how Jonny was being a baby and how he was admirable for not engaging in a physical fight and how she hit him but not punch him.

I don’t want any fights or something, but like I wanna know why you think she’s not an abuser (irrespective of Depp’s whatever)

Ps. There was also Amber abusing her last gf so idk?

Vivarium (May 2019)

Directed by: Lorcan Finnegan

Written by: Lorcan Finnegan and Garret Shanley

Rated R for language and some sexuality/nudity.

Movie Synopsis: A young couple visits a real estate agency to buy a house. A strange agent accompanies them to a mysterious and peculiar new development to show them a single-family home. There they will be trapped in a labyrinthine nightmare.

Review 5 stars

Mind bending, thrilling and disturbingly maddening. It is your endless labyrinth combined with the unfathomable nightmare of raising a childlike creature that you yourself as a viewer will want to get rid of. I couldn't help but sympathize with the main characters the entire time and by the end I couldn't believe nor understand what I watched. But nevertheless, I couldn't help but want to watch it again. It's wonderfully bizarre. 

Watch it on: Amazon Prime

🔥 zelda? :3c

I LOVE Legend of Zelda, the only problem is is that I get stuck in the water temples and/or sand temples and then stop playing for years so rip me

Link IS my gender

Zelda IS my girlfriend, she’s my lesbian best friend, she’s the moment

Twilight Princess is my favorite but ocarina, wind waker, and breath of the wild are all up there too

Also you would think with a title like legend of zelda you would actually be able to play as zelda

Golden wildfire overall thoughts

Spoilers below cut obviously

I had trouble summarizing my thoughts here as for my first time playing a warriors game didn’t have much to say game play wise. I’ve heard that we got semi-competent AI’s this time around although some elements remain lacking, as I’ve seen people have trouble escprting Claude in the chapter you can recuit Byleth and Jeralt 

I was nervous going in as anything that isn’t turn based and relies on real-time imput I struggle with as I have delayed reaction, have trouble remembering button inputs and the like, and while I did have issues at the start it was easy enough for even a noob like me to grasp with enough practice. Enjoyable experience I don’t even mind playing the same stage over and over to get S ranks

Ignoring the actual plot for now, I’ll touch on the added elements that were expanded upon compared to the base game of three houses. Holst! I’ll try to leave it be that I liked his inclusion, despite feeling although he’s taking the spot of retainer from Hilda (I get why he does as he’s a brand spankin’ new character and cant just be quitely shoved into a corner especially with the hype behind him. I cared more about his inclusion than I did Judith and I really wanted her to be playable this time around) 

and although he kind of plays role of Claude’s right hand man in some cases, at least Hilda keeps her retainer postion in others routes from what I saw so it’s not a big point of contention for me

Count Glocester: this game is an odd one in that it feels like it really tries to get you to like the dads for some reason lmao. Both him and Bernie’s dad I fully expected to hate (I still feel a strong dislike for Bernie’s dad as I won’t forget/forgive him for what he did don’t @ me about it!) but Gloucester was a gray area for me. I didn’t hate him in OG as he did sensible things, joining the empire should they have the power shift and favor them isn’t unwise. Keeping with the alliance should you play VW. His loyalty shifted but we never saw his view on the matter as he didn’t make an appearance and he didn’t disappoint here

Shahid: my greatest fear realized. I to this day think that Golden Wildfire should’ve just been disconnected from plot. People will always complain that he’s either too uninvolved in plot (which I disagree with but opinions so I won’t argue about this point) in Verdant Wind, or too involved (as in, him being in war changes nothing another point I hate, but we’ll just leave it as that and go) there is just no pleasing the entire fanbase as some like his inclusion or just look for ways to hate on him and downplay his role in the story. So why not do whatever the hell you want and have his route completely in Almyra? His route was advertised as dealing with Almyra so why not capitalize on it and just have him in Almyra? (crazy concept I know) 

Shahid didn’t really add to Golden wildfire in any meaningful way asides from being apart of Claude’s past and confirming his name is Khalid, something you’d know already if you read interviews. He was just a side quest compared to the main mission and was a nuisance more than a threat which is a shame. They finally shown someone from Almyra who stand by their countries view of ‘Fodlan cowards and Almyra better’ mindset and his hatred of Khalid for being half of both could’ve been something. I didn’t want him to be main conflict from what we got from demo, but I was hoping for something :/ 

Plot: Oh boy. where to start. I’ll start with what I wanted done differently to get it out of the way

There is too many factions working against each other. Empire, kingdom you know what to expect, it’s very clear cut on where they stand in this war. Empire wants down with the church and to make Adrestia the base of Fodlan and restore it to it’s former glory. Faegust is close with church and is at odds with the empire to put lightly. Alliance is the middleground. Caught between both nations as the main crossing between the two lie with the great bridge. In OG they were very neutral if you didn’t play Golden deer, just doing their own thing and trying to keep itself together. Here not so much

In golden wildfire there’s just to much that it feels very ‘this and onto the next thing’ as stuff comes flying at you from every side

Factions: Empire (start), Kingdom (after alliance with Empire), church (endgame) and throughout the entire story is small factions still; Jeralt Mercenaries + Byleth, Flech after Randolphs death, TWSITD, bandits etc., (was it bandits that caused stir in Ordealia? Or was it TWSITD?? Can’t remember, but I feel it was just bandits, which I thought would’ve been TWSITD. I was hyped since I thought Nemesis came back early as Ordealia was where Nemesis first struck on his trek to Garrag mach if I’m remembering correctly) 

The story starts off much like it starts in VW, in that you fight at the bridge: capture essential lands to either A) negotiate with Empire who before made no effort to do so or B) just fight against the empire. And then you just sorta join the empire

I know Claude isn’t pro-church and the game was showing a different side of Claude, but if they were planning on catching his scheming-side I think they failed miserably

the quickest way to end the war while maintaining independence (the stated reason why we joined up with Empire) would’ve been to just take out Edelgard. Hate to say it, but since half of Fodlan sides with the church. Kingdom, the people of Leicester while not devout, rely on the the goddess, VW Claude states many of the roundtable are believers and Marianne, Leonie and Ignatz of GD believe in the goddess, so while split in their support/opposed stance half of Leicester seem to not denounce the practice of Serios. Even if Claude had hidden agenda to take out Rhea, as a strategist you’d think he’d put his personal feelings aside and focus on his dream of unification via peace not war as surpression via force won’t boad well for his dream in the longrun as it’s likely to cause agression than acceptance 

It’s why he didn’t join Edelgard in VW, while he doesn’t state he himself personally doesn’t disagree with Edelgards methods, he doesn’t agree with them either as quote ‘it’s not something the world can get behind’. It works short-term and Claude has always been a long-term sort of guy as he wants to bring about a new dawn to Fodlan

Many Edelgard fans would’ve been mad had Claude just chose to fight as Edelgard/Hubert were outnumbered from Claude, Holst and Shez and Claude isn’t honorable enough to declare war and give the empire time to prepare. But the best course of action would’ve been to just end it then and there

But okay, we going to take down church, while not my favorite thing as Claude’s subtle character arc of begrudingly siding with Rhea (I don’t doubt Claude might’ve wanted Rhea dead in OG game, but by the end of VW he does nothing to follow through since he gets questions and answers, when Rhea answers all questions I doubt he still wants her gone) and that’s where the game differs because Claude doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t get answers and remains ignorant of Fodlan’s true history and therefor sticks to killing Rhea

I have no issue with Rhea being final boss. It still in a way makes sense and it contrasts nicely with Claude’s duality of Nabateans V Agarthans

Claude has fought against two major species (?) races (?) that control Fodlan in their own way. Nemesis was heiled as a king of liberation for the Agarthans/humans alike against the goddesses, and while Nemesis was human, becomes something of a deity from taking the blood of Sothis (its why he can use SoTC at all, and Rhea when she expo-dumps at end confirms he did)

Rhea, the main head of the church that monopolizes Fodlan. And the last child of the progenator god

For as many gripes as I have with this route as a whole. There’s no denying the amazing feat of this as nobody else faces off against both legends and come out on top, Edelgard sides with Agarthans, Kingdom unknowingly side with Nabatean (unknowingly since Dimitri doesn’t learn of Nabateans and what the heroes relics are made of) Claude could sway either way 

(yes, I know in this game Empire fights against TWSITD, but this ain’t about them and what they do. And I mean, Edelgard doesn’t face off against Nemesis so my point still stands)

HI YOU xx ☕️ honest opinion on. writing pet peeves. can be fic or published lit what have you just any tropes you hate any techniques you hate anything that will immediately put you off reading something xx

HI my love!! just gonna. list them off i think. too much internal monologue where they explain what they’re thinking/why they’re doing something constantly. poor grammar and poor sentence structure. weirdly immature characters .. unless it’s like an intentional choice to show something about said character. um the super bare and dead prose that’s popular in contemporary lit atm bc they all go to the same three mfa programs. metaphors that don’t make sense , too much purple prose that doesn’t know what it’s doing (see this in fic a lot!) (perhaps rich coming from me but i try to be intentional with it xxx) that’s all i can think of rn!!!! actually specific to r/s fic when someone calls s siri… i will be burying the body

Quick question: is anyone here from New York or has been to NY for a long enough time to tell me what it’s like? What is it like living there? Is it safe? I knowing’s expensive, but like… HOW expensive is it?

I have the possibility to work there for three months, but I’m unsure…

Angel Dust: How's my new look?

Husk: Not sure if you're going for 'pretty crazy' or 'crazy pretty', but either way I'd say you nailed it.

Angel Dust: Phhfft. Oh you. *turns away to hide his blush*

...

Angel Dust: *bitching about his latest work gig* ... and then Val turned around and blamed ME for the deal falling through! Can you believe that!? It's not like I could make the contract happen just by shakin' my ass! Tho, sure I could have put more effort into cozyin' up to that sleazy guy he was trying to swindle, but-

Husk: Legs, I've seen you freeze a guy's brain with a wink. You got looks that can destroy a man's wallet and ten men's sanity at twenty paces. If Val can't work with THAT, that's not on you.

Angel Dust: *tearing up slightly* Th-thanks, Whiskers...

...

Husk: *drunk and rambling* 'Angel'. Heh. Super ironic how your name turned out so fitting in the end.

Angel Dust: Huh?

Husk: Haven't had much of a reason or will to pray lately. Or- ever, really. But the first time you smiled like you actually meant it, you damn near put me on my knees.

Angel Dust: ...Guh. *angel_dust.exe has stopped working*

-Later-

Angel Dust: *pacing, gesticulating, pulling his hair* -And he just keeps dropping these things like they're old gum wrappers!

Cherri: Damn, bitch. You gonna lock him down or should I make a pass at him and see what comes out?

Angel Dust: Traitor! Faithless harlot! Now shut up and tell me what dress should I wear, I NEED to knock him speechless or I'll never be able to ask him out...

-Meanwhile-

Husk: Hey Charlie.

Charlie: Hi Husk! What's up?

Husk: I just wanted to let you know that you were right. I do feel much better ever since I started saying what I actually think instead of covering it with cynicism.

You'know the saying, "they hate us, cause they ain't us?"

That's how I feel about you, I hate you because I ain't you. I wish I was hot and a slut and had a chance at everything you did but I don't feel that way.

Also quack

anon, I bet you're hot on your own terms and what I present online isn't what I'm like offline. also, my slut era is literally just the undie pics, it's all relative to you and your comfort level
