#i love this aspect of fiction so much

[nu-so]

killing intent is the sexiest thing to ever come out of fiction hands down.

Like I don’t want to sound like a Little Hater™️ ESPECIALLY about something that is definitely useful and beneficial to people especially other queer people. But if I pick up a book and they have a scene where two characters basically start dictionary definitioning identity labels at each other in casual conversation I am returning the book immediately. My biggest pet peeve that is not actually a problem it just gets on my nerves

I am once again losing my mind.

This time: I went to look up references of Varric, and just typed "Varric Tethras" into the search bar. I was going to just tab over immediately to the images section, eyes barely glancing over the obvious top-result fandom wiki, then (more entertainingly, but still expected) Wikipedia link-

but. but the next one.

GOODREADS??

.... There's absolutely no tongue-in-cheek in the entry either.

(of course I immediately clicked on it who do you think I am)

There are 3 quotes from him relating to storytelling, both from 2 and Inquisition, as well as a book attribution:

The Dragon Age Novel Edition of Hard in Hightown.

ATTRIBUTED TO VARRIC TETHRAS.

with Mary Kirby*~

Absolutely unblinkingly written summary/bio.

I love this with my whole heart. Varric you beautiful bastard -- and DA writers/editors (Mary Kirby very much most importantly included) you even more beautiful, dorky, wonderful bastards.

*if you're not in the know, Mary Kirby is a cornerstone of the DA writing team, including being the one who was in charge of Varric (and Merrill!). To say she's his "trusted human confidante" is certainly putting it one (delightful) way.

i think my recent fic about torturing brad didn't really make enough of the gap between what was happening in the episode (ie brad being tortured) and what the characters thought was happening (Not Torture) and how that's the whole TVA thing in a nutshell really. but i accept that i to some extent (greater or lesser, not sure as it's not like me and the readers discussed the issue) failed and maybe i should try again at some later date. or not. i don't know really. the TVA torturing people is clearly (to me, anyway) a massive blindspot both in and out of that fictional reality, and so i want to point at it also i don't because people wouldn't like that. understandably.

Can somebody please explain to me what the appeal of vampires is.

i can imagine you are quite busy and overall try to read everything more deeply, but still, it would be really really cool to dig your nails into umineko. reading umineko really highlighted orv's strong points, i can't wait to reread it. it's like two complementary pieces with them both deeply analysing the author and reader's relationship.

augh i read like 75% of umineko a couple of years ago and stopped for some reason! i think I was overwhelmed by the metaphysics of the story... but ive actually been considering giving it a reread! there are parts of it that have stuck with me a lot over the years and im a much more experienced reader now than i was then

I'm thinking back to how one of my past post was completely misunderstood. Good queer representation isn't by making every queer character wholesome or a blank slate. Rather, good queer representation is by making it broad (please watch verilybitchie video on good lgbt representation cause it discusses more on this). When most or all your characters who are queer are tragic or a villain that is an issue, but by creating more media with a variety of different aspects on the queer or trans experience that is where media representation for fictional characters become so important and beautiful. There doesn't seem to be enough healthy and complex queer ships or characters, because of there being less representation for there to be healthy good queer characters. Again, there should be a wide range of different types of characters, because placing this idea that queer representation has to be complexing, tragic, or overcoming to be good or entertaining is also weird to me? Why can't queer representation just exist, it doesn't have to accomplish anything, other than to express one's experiences like all other characters. To always see a villain or bad person represent a minority isn't good nor is to always see healthy and dull representations, that's why variety does matter in this case.

Mutuals can have my newfound AO3. I’m not going to advertise it often really.

i miss my roleplaying days sometimes. what do you mean i never got to finish the world's funniest mollymauk ghost+modern au (it was a gen fic focused around molly and beau's friendship where molly got murdered in a deeply convoluted situation involving beau's family's wine business + a smuggling ring. naturally, because plot, his ghost--noted poltergeist--got Auto Assigned to haunt beau so she could help solve the mystery of his death and work out his unfinished business. neither of them were happy with this assignment. they made each others' lives and deaths hell. it was so goddamn funny.)

October this year has felt kind of vague and adrift for me, no real festive spirit to speak of--or at least nowhere near how last year felt, when it was Year of the Vampire and all.

BUT I am remedying that now with a combined pincer attack of 1) relistening to Night Vale from the beginning on my commute to work and 2) rereading Warm Bodies on my breaks/in my spare time. Things are getting increasingly spooky up in here

[vaugarde]

Keep doing this thing where I'm like "I have to write about grounded realistic stories or else I'm weird and a freak and abnormal and I'm just gonna make people either uncomfortable or think I'm childish aka terrible" because my family and hometown were just really really weird about fantasy so I keep shooting myself in the foot when it comes to stories I actually want to write :(

[naggingatlas]

i looove putting spark over songs about like heroes and saving the world (tom cardy's 'level clear', uncle outrage's 'saved the world' <- nice voice hc for him!. and 'my superhero movie'.) when he like. Did. Not : ) funney.
