Atlas is Frank's antithesis in a way . if you think abt it ,,
but also they're also. incredibly similar sometimes
#maybe im. looking to deep into it really#i think. abt them loads tho#despite them. canonically being the same person they're so different in my brain#do you. think Frank enjoyed being Atlas#putting the whole con shit aside. did he like it? was it freeing to him?#or did he prefer the lavish life he lived as Fontaine?#was it stressful? did he live in fear most days? idunno#both. Frank and Atlas are so complex to me. baffling in a way. two sides of the same coin maybe?#bioshock#jack rambles ‼️#i like. viewing them as separate ppl#if that. wasnt obvious LMAAOO#i think. they both deserve so much but also so little#if. Atlas was real. do you think they would've been friends?#before the whole like. civil war shit. that is#idk if. ppl actually read my tags. ty if uu do i hope. uu enjoy my ramblings here#love Frank n Atlas a lot.. heart emoji

Rip but twc book 3 came out and everyone got quiet after 2 weeks, huh….
#prawn posts#I liked it but also I didn’t replay either route#mostly bc stressed out and couldn’t enjoy anything but my dash got QUIET#but also it was so rushed :( M’s route was so good tho. I think it spoiled me#little Miss Esme Wolfe was WINNING with everything in her route#meanwhile Charlotte the Miserable failed everything and cried a lot#which did suit them.#anyways I’ve put enough tags in to talk about it#it was so rushed and I hate how cartoonish the trappers are. I miss the horror vibes of book 1#like I know it’s a romance series but please give me some dark horror drama#and don’t punish me for not having a good relationship with Rebecca??#plus you can miss so many things or have your stats disregarded#it sucked having my high combat detective just like…fail. despite her stats being good enough#just UGH… sad. I’m gonna reread it sometime but I’m glad FH came out at the same time#bc I’m significantly more excited to read and make things for it at the moment

#curtissonweek2023
Well, guess who decided to participate in @blue-fanlady's curtisson week??
I stg this first day was sending me to hell and back😭😭I was almost considering not posting it but I might as well haha
It's a meeting in a dream type beat bcz I feel like we don't have enough of those
(Bit of a TW for derealization? They ask the other if they're real a few times so I'm just being safe)
Word count: 1.1k
Curtisson Week Day 1: First Meet
Sven found himself inside of a small, pretty garden. It was night time and the moon was out, high in the sky with stars twinkling above. Flowers of all kinds were surrounding him and a path made of cobblestone led its way to a nice wood bench. Sven looked around and saw all the different kinds of flowers as he walked down the pathway. Tall sunflowers that towered over him and small daisies and poppies he'd have to crouch down to see properly.
The garden was fairly quiet, nothing but the sound of his own footsteps and the night air. Once he got to the bench, he took a seat on it and looked around a bit more. This felt relaxing. Almost freeing.
One thing he noticed while looking around was a wood shed, not too far away from the bench. It looked like it was fairly old, but it was still in decent shape as long as you were careful to not lean on anything and get a splinter.
Another thing he noticed was that, outside of the gate leading to the garden and the fence surrounding it, it was just a black void. No lights, no trees, no grass, not even the night sky to be found out there. Just pitch black. It felt like this garden was the only thing present. He was the only person present here.
He was so lost in his own thoughts, he didn't notice another person approach him and take a seat on the bench next to him. He instinctively turned into this person's direction and jumped a little bit. Guess he wasn't the only person here after all…
This person looked like a guy around his age, he had a tophat on with headphones that seemed to be an orange-ish sesame color ripping through it.
Sven found himself staring at him in wonder. How did he get here? Is he even human? Is this some kind of figment of his imagination?
The other turned to look in his direction. He seemed to have caught Sven staring. "Uhm…"
Sven jumped again and tried to stutter out something. "Oh! Uh, I wasn't..well, I didn't mean to uhh, stare. Sorry."
The other just shrugged. "It's fine."
Well, seems like the pretty atmosphere was a little ruined because all of Sven's thoughts shifted to the guy next to him. He had just about a million questions jogging through his head.
Who is this guy? Is he a figment of his imagination? Can figments of your imagination talk? Is this a dream? Is he dreaming? Has he seen this person before?
Sven started to wonder if he should talk to this person or not. He didn't want the silence to become awkward (or at least, more awkward than it's already become) and it feels like the longer he stays quiet, the more confused he feels.
Sven glanced back at the person next to him and decided to ask him the question he's been wondering about the most.
"Who are you?"
The other turned to look at him. "Hm? Oh, I'm Burt," he replied. "You are?"
"Sven." he answers, still looking at the other curiously. He was about to drop another question before Burt started to speak again.
"Well, nice to meet you?" He said, awkwardly.
"Why'd you end that like it was a question?" Sven asked.
"I dunno. I'm confused, I guess."
Sven tilted his head. "About what?"
"You ask a lot of questions." Burt deadpanned.
"Hey!" Sven looked almost offended. "I only asked three! I'm just trying to make an effort to understand what's going on here."
Burt shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry."
Sven couldn't tell whether that apology was genuine or not, but he decided not to question it this time and sighed.
They both sat in a silence that was a little less awkward than before. Still though, Sven couldn't help but continue to wonder about this Burt guy.
Sven leaned closer to the other and started to lightly poke his arm. 'My finger isn't going through him.'
He poked a little more before Burt glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"
Sven looked up at him. "Are you real?" He asked suddenly.
Burt seemed a little confused by the question. "Are you?"
"What kind of question is that?? Of course I am."
"Really?" Burt wondered and started to poke Sven teasingly.
Sven pushed his hand away. "Hey, stop! Yes I am."
Burt obliged and stopped with the poking, leaving them sitting in silence once more.
"I guess I'm not dreaming then?" Burt mumbled to himself.
Sven heard it and tilted his head. "Dreaming? You?"
Burt nodded. "It feels like I'm dreaming, but since we can touch each other, maybe I'm not."
Sven hummed. "I can touch things in my dreams, though. Wasn't it pinching that woke you up not poking?"
"Hm…maybe it was. I can't remember."
Sven started to think about what Burt said. Dreaming…well that explains the dreamy setting and the random dude he doesn't know at all yet looks familiar. He does feel a bit like he's dreaming.
"Now I'm tempted to pinch myself." Sven said. "I feel like I'm dreaming too."
Burt glanced at Sven. "Do you think we're sharing dreams?"
Sven shook his head. "No way! I'm convinced you're a figment of my imagination."
"Well I feel the same about you then." Burt said.
"Fine." Sven crossed his arms and looked outside of the garden. Silence befall them for a few minutes more.
"What if we pinched ourselves at the same time?" Burt suggested.
"Then we'd both wake up at the same time?" Sven questioned.
Burt nodded.
Sven was quiet for a few seconds.
"Alright, fine."
Burt nodded and held two fingers over his arm, hovering over his skin ever so slightly. Sven did the same.
"Alright, on the count of three." Burt said.
"One." Burt initiated the countdown.
"Two." He continued
"Wait!" Sven interrupted him.
"What?" Burt glanced up at Sven.
"On three or after?"
Burt hummed in thought. "After."
Sven nodded. "Alright, sorry. Let's restart."
Burt nodded back in response.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
Sven pinched his skin and everything went black.
---------
Sven's eyelids fluttered open, the sun blinding him for a second. Once he adjusted his eyes to the light, he sat up. He was still in his bed, under the covers and in his pajamas. Once his mind woke up a little more, he started to recall the dream he just had.
He was in a garden…and it was dark out. It was quiet and nice, save for one thing. What was it? A person? Some guy and…was it a tophat he had on or headphones?
The dream was fairly vivid for someone who doesn't usually remember their dreams well. That was probably the most he's ever remembered from a dream.
He felt a small but noticeable stinging type pain in his left arm. He instinctively moved his hand over to rub over it, hoping to soothe the pain a little.
What was that about?
#this first day was so hard for me to write for#bcz I kept changing the ideas last minute there are literally so many scrapped drafts for this day#hopefully all the days won't be like this😭#I finally had the final idea of meeting in a dream and I started writing this#this went through a lot tho cause I removed a lot of parts and cut down others bcz this was actually meant to be a lot longer#(about 5k words)#but I slowly came to the realization that I simply wouldn't have been able to write that much in time#as I started writing a few hours before midnight on the 31st#plus I had to decorate for my sisters birthday (happy birthday btw!)#so I hope that explains why...yknow it came out the way it did#it could've come out worse tho#hope you enjoyed reading anyway!#also sorry if the format is a little messed up I have never posted fics on tumblr before#the henry stickmin collection#thsc#curtisson#sven svensson#burt curtis#do I tag for curtisson week#curtissonweek2023#cross posted on ao3#💬#henry stickmin collection

hey so i'm not making a DNI because i don't want to (i initially had a longer attempt at articulating a reason and then i realized i don't have to explain more than "i don't want to") but the past few blogs that have followed me are very harry pottter focused and given the actions and rhetoric of jk rowling i'd appreciate it if any blogs who prominently post harry potter themed content would kindly refrain from following me.
you can probably still reblog my posts, not bc of my moral stance but bc honestly i don't really notice who reblogs from me unless they have a huge red flag in their url, but in terms of following my blog i'd prefer it if harry potter bloggers could just not
and i know there's always the excuse of separating the art from the artist (like people who continue to post about harry potter but end every post with "fuck jkr tho"), and not everyone even knows why jkr is a horrible person bc a lot of the discussion is very online (that's the reason this is worded so empathetically, i'm assuming harry potter fans who follow me are in either of these two camps but if you're just an outright terf then go fuck yourself of course). but even if you're entirely dedicated to balancing every harry potter post with a post about hating terfs, the fact that harry potter is still being promoted in a way that's uncritical of the content itself makes me uncomfortable and by making the harry potter brand maintain relevance that's still supporting jkr no matter how many times you put "fuck terfs" on your blog
disagree with me if you want bc i can't control whether people post about one of the largest fandoms in history, but i can make a statement being like "hey if you follow me and your most recent posts are all harry potter gifsets i will be blocking you so honestly for your own convenience please don't put in the effort of following me"
#this might honestly come across as TOO forgiving but i want to assume people have good intentions#in terms of cognitive dissonance about the issue or just not knowing about it#also ngl even aside from the controversy i just don't think harry potter is even that great of a story?#like yeah i enjoyed the first few books in middle school but honestly anything after book 4 just felt miserable or boring imo#and there were ABSOLUTELY problematic aspects people should have picked up on#(even the very system of ''hogwarts houses'' annoyed me. like yes i know british private schools did actually have houses)#(the hogwarts system still sucked tho i hated it even as a little kid)#i remember in like 2017 before the terf thing came out i would frequently peruse the ''anti jkr'' tag#bc all of my friends were like ''yeah it has its problems but here's a fix-it fanfic that does it sooo well!!!''#and i'd be like no i don't want harry potter fanfiction the real fix-it is just reading a different book jfc#and i did once end a friendship because someone assigned hogwarts houses to the characters in other girls#(that wasn't the only reason i stopped being friends with them they were a shitty person in general but that was a Moment)#anyway harry potter blogs can y'all please unfollow me i don't want to spend minutes of my day blocking you i have better things to do

The Society For Soulless Girls
YA sapphic retelling of Jekyll & Hyde set in 90s Northumberland
set in a haunted old convent-turned-university with a history of deaths tied to the north tower
mystery, dark magic, female rage, an immortal cat
#The Society For Soulless Girls#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#i enjoyed this mostly?#(did not realise it was set in the 90s until after lol…)#(though some fashion choices make sense now)#good spooky vibes#there’s a lot of pov overlap which is a little odd and feels unnecessary a lot of the time#what’s up with the immortal cat. was it just being possessed?#one MC is maybe ace? it never clarifies whether she must be demi or is not actually ace anymore?#would have been nice to have a mention in the epilogue even or something#i do respect the mention of the asexuality spectrum despite it being in the 90s tho i guess#i feel like. the whole thing being about female anger could have had some intersectionality - it felt. a little white feminism adjacent?#i guess it was addressing it all from an internal space rather than societal perception stuff but idk. there could have been more complexity#there.

Csm thoughts,,
#Putting these in tags cuz they're rather negative and like this people can ignore this if it shows up on search#anyways today i was showering and had a realization that like#if csm part 2 didn't exist and the manga had ended in chapter 97 i really wouldn't mind that. like at all#because so far there hasn't been anything in part 2 that stuck to me in such a way that i would be upset or miss it if it didn't exist#be it arcs world building (not big on religious allegories. that prophecy stuff really doesn't intrest me at all) or characters#in fact if it did end on the publig safety saga i probably would have liked it better#because then it would have ended and that's it. because part 2 exists i can see the story move foward#with the absence of almost everyone from part 1 and i just. miss them#so reading part 2 in general makes me inherently a little sad#and i feel like that's what blocks me from enjoying it or even growing to care for the new characters from part 2#because i don't care for any of them that much. not even asa and yoru#and this isn't me being mad at the story for killing people off. i think all deaths in part 1 happened exactly where they needed to#and the story is beautifully crafted. i just genuinely miss them#and see denji staggering about looking so tired all the time barely looking like the same guy from part one due to everything that happened#that also makes me fell just. like this pain in my chest that i can't even explain well#i don't dislike part 2 i don't think it's bad#it's just not for me and i don't think that will change anytime soon#tho i will still look up the new chapters because i wanna see what happens. tho if there ever is a part 3 i doubt i will bother reading it#hyena ramblings#rant? i guess?

#speculation nation#i will not say what i read bc i am not in the habit of spreading negativity#but i just. GOD i really do not like the common vash characterization for t.ristamp fic#why did i even read all of it? i didnt even really Like it#i just. started. and what do you know i just kept reading.#i should be in bed. i should be sleeping so that i have a refreshed brain#so that i can embrace my own characterization that i love and enjoy oh so much#my characterization really is all my favorite parts of him. so Many other ones end up falling flat.#most commonly is in the tr.istamp fic tho#he is Not a whimpering sniveling baby who talks Oh So Cutely and also is weirdly emotionally manipulative??? what????#that last one being from the thing i read. im just like. what the Fuck was that????#maybe i should just reread parts of my own fic. it would certainly make me happier than This did :/#ok bitch mode over i just had to rant a little bit hfkshfkf Sorry

Who was gonna tell me that reading is fun sometimes
#I will bring shame to my eight year old self NO MORE!!!! I LIKE READING AGAIN!! YIPPEE!!!#I think I seriously enjoy reading about the brain and body and trauma like it’s so strange to spend two hours laying in bed with a book but#it’s so nice#I really enjoyed science growing up even into high school I just didn’t have the patience or motivation to finish essays#and my freshman year science teacher got fired halfway thru the year after they found out she didn’t have a teaching license and then my#class got split up into an advanced science teachers class who was way ahead of everything we had learned and then I hated the class and#science in general then in sophomore year I had another shitty teacher who didn’t care about teaching and I literally would find recourses#and send them to the teacher to put on the projector and then I would talk thru the resource that’s fucking real I literally had class#periods where I TAUGHT my sophomore year science class. GAHHHH I still get so bad at that fucking teacher I don’t even remember her name but#she pissed me off so bad cause she paired me with the two guys who always made fun of me just bc I was smart and they were annoying. anyways#depression and adhd and boredom happened and I almost failed that class but still passed in the end and then in junior year during covid#I was taking a biology class and an anatomy class that was supposed to be seniors (seniors did the advanced class and they offered regular#class to select juniors) and I ended up being the ONLY junior who wasn’t doing the advanced course. like. everyone else got assignments and#I had to ask hey what’s the easy version of that assignment cause I’m technically in the easy class even tho we’re in the same class period#and then Covid and I stopped caring at all about anhthing and then dropped out of school and moved down the entire coast so yknow.#I never stood a chance at being good at science but I’m realizing I might actually be passionate about it cause I have been since I was#little I just kind of ignored it and forgot but like. for one birthday I got a telescope and for one Christmas I got a microscope. like it’s#well known to everyone but me that I like science apparently oh my god what’s wrong with my brain !!!! anyways.#I like science now it’s weird to feel passionate about learning I haven’t done that in a long time#oh my god when I took my GED test my highest score was in SCIENCE AND NOT ENGLISH#THIS IS ALL SO OBVIOUS I LOVE SCIENCE WHY AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE RELATED TO SCIENCE

thots on jimmy and tyler herro??? jimmy is obsessed with that weird white boy
tyler herro is so fucking fuck fugly and i cannot CANNOT get behind him (both literally and figuratively) or i will DISintergrate and everything he does against ME and MY teams should be registered OFFENSES !!!!!!!
but i let him live because he is keldon's boyfriend. Who is also .. Jimmy's boyfriend 😭 but jimmy is NOT keldon's boyfriend!!!!!!!! let's make that VERY clear ‼️
in all seriousness tho... i think he is ugly NOno im kidding i mean . im not 😐 but i am 🧍🏿. BUT FRFR i think the jimmy tyler dynamic is VERY interesting in the way that all it took to take down commitment fearing sexy mink butler was one white boy goated with the sauce (and not even rlly ... jimmy just deludes himself that Tyler is an ethereal being. He lukafies him. And for what reason???? Tyler does the bare minimum and suddenly he's got Jimmy humping his arm shouting glory to the gods above like LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE???? you could literally find another one who looks and acts exactly the same buying a hot pickel at a gas station. Why is Tyler the chosen one..) it's very interesting to see the pickiest man in the world desire a salt lick for dinner. When bam is RIGHT there ?!??? it's INSANE !!! .... it's Jimmy. i'm afraid..
#OF COURSE im sure tyler has more personality but because im an uncarer i do not decide to delve into it LOL#BUT that DOESNT mean i hate the ship in fact i LIKE it ! and its dynamics! it's VERY interesting#im willing to hear more abt it ! i just wouldnt create content for it myself AND THATS OK! some people 4get u can just enjoy things#without actively taking a part in it#and when i call tyler ugly i dont rlly mean it hes rlly not that bad 😭 when i call millionaires ugly it's bcs theyre millionaires#and they dont fall over dying all bcs tumblrman ted thinks they get no pusspuss. they get pusspuss!!#thoughts back to tyler tho i think hes honestly more toleratable oh i did Not spell that right but anyways#than jimmy TBH i think jimmy puts him not exactly on a pedestal but definitely a microscope for every observation possible#i think.. hm. if u get into deeper thought it's a Little idk irky behaviour but idk ive just never been a fan of giving 'white boys swag'#4 like the most mundane shit like can people just people??? bcs it can create those that seek out shit thru stretched acting BUT AGAIN#BUT THATS A WHOLE OTHER THING n i dont have the profoundness to discuss it justice#SO IN CONCLUSION... a guy like jimmy being fascinated by a guy named tyler is very funny to me#and i would have a lot of fun reading more abt it from a person who knows more abt the relationship!#'that weird white boy' LMFAO#tyler is honestly cool in my book until he starts shooting threes. then he is The Enemy and i Hates him 4ever .#ted asks#jimmy

The Stones Stay Silent
high fantasy
an aroace trans man and his amnesiac smoke-demon friend travel across the land to find a place where he can be himself (and maybe become a baker)
plus the friends they meet on the way
world with absent gods, strict gender roles, and a deadly plague
#The Stones Stay Silent#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#aroace books#trans books#aromantic books#I really enjoyed this overall!#it's like ALMOST cozy fantasy. the cozy fantasy with a bit more dark stuff#or i guess like. slice of life/travelling fantasy#i feel like I wanted a little more of a narrative voice re: prose; and also worldbuilding#theres a lot of worldbuilding in some ways but like. hm. narratively? story? I guess? and how it ties to the immediate plot#a lot of that was revealed more later on and I had spent a lot of the earlier parts wondering/confused about things#specifically the night demon stuff felt a little disconnected since we don't find it out til later#which is obviously like. amnesia plot related#but like. nobody else mentions the existence of them or stories about them (even tho the MC did when they met)#also another random thing but i enjoyed the landlocked map? i feel like so many fantasy maps are islands or partially near the sea sdjghsf#but yay aroace fantasy where it's brought up quite a bit!#no romance
