character introduction: cpt. vivian west

"For a pacifist, you're surprisingly ruthless."

At twenty-one, Vivian West would be young for a starship captain anywhere but the Badlands, where their five-year tenure aboard the Vagabond is uncomfortably normal. In a mostly lawless swath of the galaxy ruled by small, petty bosses and warlords, West navigates the clash between their values and their circumstances via a personal code they refer to as "Batman Rules." They're equally both sweet and a bit of a punk, and prone to whatever the irl equivalent is of liveblogging your mental breakdown. They're hopelessly addicted to sugary, caffeinated drinks, and have a bad habit of collecting love interests as if they were a superhero assembling a team.

West is Terran faerie on their mother's side and ordinary Beltan on their father's, and their name is of their own choosing. They can touch iron and lie, but the mix of ordinary iron-based blood and some faerie physiology has contributed to its own problems: chronic exhaustion, poor vision, constant allergy symptoms, and a struggle to regulate their body temperature. Often they feel slightly uncomfortable in their own body, as if their blood is running wrong in their veins. They live on a constant knife-edge of waiting for the day when their body might decide to attack itself.

The last five years of West's life have been spent in various kinds of mourning for three people: their parents, and Lin Calla, their once-partner. All three still live, but West's circumstances make contact impossible.

When West isn't chasing ion storms around the badlands, tracking their movement to keep other ships safe, they enjoy knitting, listening to music, and analyzing Old Earth film and television. Their favorite show, unsurprisingly, is Raumpatriolle: Orion.

*if west looks familiar, it's b/c i've been using them as an icon for like a year now

....now considering whether I want to write a 'Find the shapeshifters' fic for SVSSS too

#the key thing would be deciding who all is in the party when the doubles happen #luo binghe #liu qingge #shen qingqiu #and yue qingyuan #seem like the most obvious candidates #so far the only 'telling traits' I can think of would be #1) Shen Qingqiu's 'Luo Binghe' is impossibly suave and hits on any female figures within a radius #which leads everybody else to say 'Yeah that's fake' because they all know LBH only has eyes for SQQ #and 2) I think Yue Qingyuan's 'Shen Qingqiu' is kind of ragged and underfed #even now #he can't stop seeing him that way. a little bit.#oh 3) luo binghe's 'Liu Qingge' would just be OFFENSIVE. probably his 'YQY' too.#4) if Shang Qinghua is in the group that's going to make things difficult #because shang qinghua's doubles are almost all perfect #except for Shang Qinghua's 'Shen Qingqiu'#who he definitely gets wrong in some way #because Shen Qingqiu is the only one here that Shang Qinghua did not create

I still am proud of the end result

area man somehow stumbles into the mianite fandom, does a triple front flip, accidentally introduces 2,000 people to the series, sticks the landing, and is basically singlehandedly responsible for a miniature fandom revival in the year of our lord 2024, illustrated

imma be completely honest, i just checked out the watchertv website and i can absolutely see why they were so excited for it - without context, it looks so cool and i would be SO proud of them cos that's huge you know? and i can absolutely see how this has been something they've been aiming for (i remember both ryan & shane talking about how it's been their dream to create high-quality, tv-level productions at various points in time).

but as many have said, a huge issue was perhaps in the execution. assuming this was a set-in-stone end goal for them, much could still have been done to transition the audience gradually to this new platform. ofc, i acknowledge that hindsight is 20/20 but, well. i have to admit that some aspects of how this was executed were indeed quite tone-deaf.

THAT BEING SAID, while i absolutely understand that this tone-deafness could have been extremely hurtful, using this situation as an opportunity to be racist, to attack steven's religion, or to harrass their partners on their socials is completely out of line. this whole fiasco has revealed a startling & upsetting amount of toxicity that is colouring the entire fandom in a really bad light.

also, while i understand that steven being the sole CEO position does make him more responsible over such business decisions, i truly do not think that the "steven is the only villian, he's threatening R&S with a gun" narrative is warranted. as mentioned above, R&S have both expressed their dreams of making high-quality productions (nothing wrong with that btw) and they're also both still the co-founders & main faces of the platform. there's a much higher likelihood that they were both on board with this, and pinning all the blame on steven like this to protect and coddle your 'faves' is frankly a little embarrassing.

#watcher #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #esp ppl who coddle shane - i adored him too but to say that he couldnt have been part of this bc he was always vehemently anti-capitalist?#please be fr hes a grown ass man and hes one of the key players in this company #also frankly it's virtually impossible to be truly anti-capitalist if you're running a company in today's economy #mine

thoughts on freak (said with affection) ivan?

Oh Ivan is 100% a freak. Always on some freak shit. Nobody can match his freak. His freak level is over 9000.

I don’t even think most of his freak tendencies are a result of his life circumstances (idk how to connect the whole blood licking thing to like, some sort of trauma). I think he just… came here like that.

Even if you took Ivan out of the canon universe, the freak would still be there. A modern day coffee shop au would not un-freak this man.

10/10 characterization. No notes.

#the key to being an ivan stan is to recognize that he’s a freak and come to terms with the fact that you cannot fix him #you can enable him tho #alien stage #alnst #alien stage ivan #alnst ivan #ivanttakethis shut up about ivan challenge: impossible #ivanttakethis answers #ivanttakethis talks too much

please don’t by k.will did more for the gays back in 2012 than any boy group can possibly do with fan service and crop tops in 2024

#do young kpoppies know about please don’t by k.will. im serious do they know #I think about it a lot #it’s impossible to replicate the feeling of being gay and watching that mv in the 2010s and just getting bodyslammed by the ending.#like he really just dropped that shit in TWENTY TWELVE #kibumblabs #to this day I think that’s the most explicitly gay mv ive seen in kpop by an established artist #(ie not holland. no shade to him but he kinda built his platform on being an openly gay artist and he’s not a big industry name or anything #which makes the impact significantly different. if that makes sense. anyway.)#like think about any other example. almost all of them can be brushed off as fan service or are at least vague enough to be #up for interpretation #please don’t’s ending is nearly fucking impossible to write off as anything but explicitly gay #no fanservice involved. no vague staring in each other’s eyes. just straight up Oh He’s Not Jealous Of His Friend He’s Jealous Of His #Friend’s Fiancé. oh #like that’s the whole point. interpreting it any other way doesn’t make sense with the impact it’s purposefully supposed to make #like seriously try to say ‘he’s just sad he’s losing his friend to marriage :(‘ or something. you have to be REAL fucking stupid or #deeply in denial to make that argument let alone believe it #anyway. I appreciate this mv a lot #k.will the OG of doomed yaoi in kpop #kill me #closest contender off the top of my head is one more day by sistar #also note I am talking about mvs here not songs in general #cause if I were talking about songs in general. key’s out there pretty much writing about gay sex at this point so I mean #k.will #kpop #only adding actual tags because I want you to watch this mv if you haven’t already

Unfortunate mod update: There's a high probability that I will have to take a three to four week break starting this friday due to technical issues on my side (aka my laptop is breaking down and I'm hoping to get a new affordable one during my universities laptop sale, but that only starts in three weeks). We still have around 200 polls to go (10 still in queue), so I will be back and I really enjoy running this blog and seeing all your votes & replies. I might be able to borrow another laptop sometimes to queue some new polls here and there, but I can't promise the same frequency of polls as right now.

#mod post #its also such a stupid bug that's going on because my laptop overheats & then my keyboard doesnt type right At All #which seeing as this poll has a lot of typing is a hassle and makes it impossible to tag things (because it hits the enter or comma key whe #i type other things. it is So Annoying) and so polls either take ages to create #so yeah... unfortunately i will have to take a short break #but feel free to submit new books if they aren't on the goodreads list yet <3
