Not a redditor comparing the possibility of byler endgame to the likelihood of the earth being flat

#byler #these are fictional characters were talking about #in a fictional universe #you’re gonna compare two boys falling in love and ending up together in a fictional story #with flat earthers….#this just proves they refuse to even look at evidence #they are terrified of it #they’re only solution is to deflect and be completely obtuse about it #and then explain in 10 different paragraphs why nothing is that deep…#like it’s literally already half canon #and there’s one more season left #just say you’re hoping with all your might it won’t happen and let’s call it a day #😐#🤔#🤣

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

#pjo #riordanverse #tsats crit #nico di angelo #solangelo #it doesnt make any sense too cause. in HoO we KNOW Nico was fully capable of handling himself in Tartarus #we already knew he was explicitly on his own. we know he had it worse than Percy and Annabeth did #because we are explicitly told that Nico saw Tartarus' true nature the ENTIRE TIME versus Percy only getting a tiny half-glimpse of it once #and Percy acknowledges that he would not be able to withstand actually seeing Tartarus more than he did without just dying on the spot #and Nico was down there for as long as Percy and Annabeth at least. on his own. flying blind and explicitly having it worse.#so it doesnt make sense to totally retcon Nico's ENTIRE experiences with Tartarus to make him sopping wet and pathetic about it #needing to be helped and only being down there for twenty minutes and crying the whole time #and then all of the book he's literally functionally helpless without Will for some reason. despite being in his element.#could not get more in his element than being in the Underworld. my guy literally lives there. that's his HOUSE. that's his YARD.#and he's still just totally sopping wet and pathetic in Tartarus the second time around #like im sorry. no. we literally have previously established canon indicating this is absolutely not the case #that is not something you can retcon. that is an entire major event. it was not glossed over.#unless you are doing time travel and it's a canonical retcon a la Homestuck im sorry the events of TSATS just could never occur #(not to mention Damasen is just never acknowledged in TSATS and him and Bob were absorbed by Tartarus the god and ergo dead in HoH)#(so Bob and Damasen are like. *Gone* gone. they didn't just die to be reformed later they got ERASED.)#(and Nyx sure as hell isnt gonna be the one to have Bob trapped for whatever reason. definitely not cause she hates light/change/whatever)#(nyx is literally the mother/sister [depends on version - sometimes a mitosis situation] of the personification of day? and sky?)#(and FRIENDSHIP? and the nymphs of sunset? sometimes also CHEERFULNESS? and THOUGHTFULNESS? and old age)#(ah yes the mother of concepts such as love/friendship and aging and. day. would HATE [checks notes] love/friendship changing and light)#(she INVENTED THOSE) < anyways thank u for coming to my aside rant in the tags #in parenthesis to indicate this is an aside/tangent rant. anyways i have so many problems with this plot. it just DOESNT WORK #on NO LEVEL DOES IT WORK AT ALL WITH ESTABLISHED CANON

tfw when you write an entire novel with two protagonists that spent the entire plot getting closer to each other, becoming best friends and eventually both of them deciding they would rather die than allow the other to not live a long, fulfilling life, their friendship carrying most of the emotional weight of the entire plot and the emotional climax being one of them sacrificing his life so the other can live and then the other crossing literal universes to find him, a tearful smile in his face as he confesses how much he missed him. which is the scene you wanted to write and show the most because, again, this is the pay off to the slowburn you've been writing in the entire novel and what everything has been building up to since the very first chapter. and then you end the novel by having them share a smile, finally confident they'll be able to have a happy future.

but you also just gotta have one of them marry offscreen because everyone knows you can't be happy if you're not in a het marriage with kids lmao it's whatever it's okay i'm fiNE-

#i talk a lot <3 #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #this post was going to be so much more bitter this is me being nice akjshdkahdk #i just....... i'm sad alsjdsjkal #and i don't think i'm wrong to be. like i'm not disapointed bc i don't actually expected lloyd and javier to be together #i'm not that optimistic lmao #but i did have the hope tged would have no romance #because lloyd and javier were already doing so much in the emotional and relationship development front of the plot #that adding romance just feels. awkward. like an aside. an add-on that affects none of the plot and is just there to make sure #no one accidentally gets confused and think those two are in love #and guess what! most of the romance does happen in literal side stories! literally an add-on that does nothing for the plot! i hate it!#it's the heteronormativity and amatonormativity of it all :/#do i think it would've been cool for llojavi to be canon? absolutely! do i think it was necessary for the plot? nope!#they were already perfect the way they are! their friendship is the core of the entire plot and their relationship to each other #is what ultimately moves much of the plot in the latter half!#which is the way relationships should work in fiction! not just have them for the sake of having them!#lloyd didn't need a romantic subplot because the plot was already working perfectly without it!#also what's the point of having a character constantly think about what their idea of 'happy life' is if you're not going to challenge it #it's about the hero's journey of it all!!!#i have things to say dang it!#javier asrahan #tged

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

#replies #novella november #long rambly tags to follow lol #including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit #ominous october #this is what my novella november is going to be #something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU #but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would #be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original #so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name #everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun #and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the #creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems #if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is #not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound #progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh #what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir #so her husband can take power #instead of just straight up telling your husband #'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb #and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful #theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check #cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them #while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality

anyway how do you think ryan graham yaz and dan got through the whole giggle situation

#i dont remember why companions were immune but i guess they were immune werent they?#interesting #i know we joke abt the whole like every christmas is an invasion and how do you not remember the 10 dalek invasions and donnas obliviousnes #like so much so that half of that has been made canon #which twists the walls between in and out of universe up like a möbius strip if you ask me #but like #if you make that a watsonian thing #then aliens dont really happen in your life until you travel with the doctor #like you get infected with tardis stuff #which also again is already a canon thing #void stuff. translation circuit. giggle immunity. etc #once you meet the doctor you enter their universe #oh nvm they just didnt explain why cmpanions were immune fgkhgjgh typical #'maybe longterm travel in the tardis puts you out of sync'#the doctor literally just making shit up bc who cares really

Going insane over Fairest reread I love when beloved books from days of yore are as good as I remember

#gail carson levine #fairest #daisyreads #Ivi and Aza as parallels both driven by their insecurity!!!#the characters actually acting within their cultural/religious framework!!!#the little worldbuilding touches like the symmetrical names and words!!!!#I think this book was a big contributor to my love of political/palace-intrigue flavored fantasy come to think of it #also Ivi is SUCH a compelling character the way that she's so clearly vulnerable and incompetent yet has such a hold over people #the way that Aza's terrified of her but also half in love with her #but also! she's not even that smart! we see through her and yet can't outsmart her!#And also the way Aza/Ijori works pretty well as a pairing bc almost immediately they are cast as a team #first in the composing game as a kind of foreshadowing to their larger shared task of Managing Ivi #Literally the part I'm at now they barely know each other #but they're already working together to try to keep Ivi from upending the kingdom on day 1 of her being in charge lol #in a very practical and mutually respectful kind of way #but anyway bi Aza is canon to me #this book is so well crafted. read and respect it or die by my blade

The thing about suddenly taking a modern fnaf anthro au seriously is that i have to figure out how everyone is related lmao

Bc just for the bit i made each species related to each other biologically (all the bears are related, the rabbits are related, the chickens & foxes yadda yadda...) but ALSO i wanna keep the GROUPS together too (classics all know each other, rockstars all know each other, nightmares all know each other...)

Its just. Kinda weird to figure out sometimes because holy SHIT it really would be a small world

#not art 😱#the silly au #no bc why are EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU related in some way. by blood or not #especially when their personalities and stories are just so like. different. like HOW did yall come to know each other #no bc can you imagine this being acknowledged in canon #like bonnie & foxy find out they BOTH have weirdo fucked up uncles. but also! their uncles also know EACH OTHER very closely. like whadda...#i actually already had to banish bonbon & bonnet from being blood relates to the other rabbits lol. bc they literally COULDN'T FIT #the only room for them on the family tree was on the OTHER SIDE. with the BEARS.#so uhm lore reveal but bonbon & francis are actually half brothers go figure #but its like. got DAMN it feels like the spiderman meme sometimes #and i want everyone to know that the ONE relationship tying all the family trees together is vixie & chelsea #they got the whole world on their backs frfr

oh God. oh f*ck no just realized this after his conversation with Randy but Eliot was abused as a kid wasn't he. something happened there

#tv: leverage #leverage #leverage s2 #the order 23 job #local gay watches Leverage (or their first American series in f*cking years and gets a shiny new OT3 to show for it).txt #i literally do not give a flying f*ck and a half and three quarters if the show turns around and tells me that's not why later in canon #i refuse to f*cking believe it. i refuse to bc you don't understand you don't get it between the way he reacts to Nate's #drinking in the Snow Job and then how invested he is in Randy during the Order 23 Job.....................#you can't just write it off like that i am convinced this man went through hell in his childhood. the f*ck actually #God. not another traumatized character for me to analyze and adopt i have enough of them already pls

'you wouldnt like villain blorbo if they were officially redeemed/romanced because the excitement is in the mystery and how canonically it wouldnt make sens-'

wrong.

ravenloft i10 (1e). DoD (2e). VRGtR (5e).

thank u

#curse of strahd spoilers #bg3 spoilers #i dont even understand what ppl mean by 'this char cant be redeemed'#like have you not listened to rudolph the red nosed reindeer #even all the other reindeer redeemed themselves and let him join in their reindeer games #ok that rudolph thing was a half meme but also like dont gatekeep and ignore chance of a positive shift for an evil character thats weird #esp cuz the inverted of negative things for a good character is somehow seen as valid/legit #if you have no idea what the context of these sourcebooks are dw about it #even if it 'didnt make sense' who cares tho. most companies literally TAKE popular fanons and PUBLISH them as canon in future editions anyw #u should be demanding unrealistic/not possible stuff from companies that are publishing out D&D content #cuz D&D content is made with YOU. dnd is a HOBBY. an ACTIVITY. not a PRODUCT that you need company validation from #literally fanon stuff esp in dnd is valid because of it. they just resell the ideas and traditions that dnd players did before it was canon #its the same reason why dnd 'home rules' slowly become 'official dnd published players handbook rules'#they didnt invent it. they just literally RECOGNIZE something that a majority has ALREADY been doing #anyways ramble done your campaigns/aus/npcs/redemption/corruption arcs are legit goodbye #random syrips theory

i know i kinda have a reputation to uphold as an astarionposter but like. he's not even my fav character in bg3...

#my ranking of the companions would be:#1. shadowheart 2. jaheira 3. lae'zel 4. astarion 5. wyll 6. halsin 7. karlach 8. gale and then minsc/minthara bc i haven't recruited either #idk i just really love how jaheira was portrayed in bg3 and i feel like she doesn't get enough love #+ lae'zel's story arc may not be as compelling to me personally as astarion's but. gith lore is like my absolute fav thing and i love her s #and i've already talked loads about how shadowheart is my no. 1 #re: wyll i actually really like him and he would've been ranked higher if i hadn't played early access. i miss his more playful side tbh #halsin ranks higher than karlach or gale because of how much his being canon polyam means to me. also he's funny as hell #karlach and gale's stories just didn't resonate as hard with me ig?? i love them all they're just not my favs #there's literally no companion i actively dislike which is v strange bc in most games i usually HATE at least one.#in dao i HATED sten. in da2 it was seb. in dai it was cassandra. in poe2 it was pallegina. in nwn2 it was bishop. in wotr it was daeran #anyway i could go on and on about how larian made fundamentally flawed but still likable characters. i just love them sm.#edit: even though gameplay-wise wotr is one of my top games ever. i actively hated like half of the companions lmao #lmk if you want me to make a post about who i like and why in pfwotr bc i am Very Opinionated

I also want to say this main screen dialogue makes me so soft............. doing things to me. Emotionally.

#fire emblem #feh #like all of this is extremely half baked very first impression thoughts but i need someone to hear me LMFAOOO #and i'm putting this half baked thought in the tags bc idk if i'm gonna sound insane for it #but like. being loved... being cherished and valued as a friend.... even if you have a chronic condition and/or disability #and also recognizing yourself in the other and becoming a family about it. to me all of the fairies feel like one big family.#ESPPP in the recent TT event and ESPPPP in triandra's fbs w plumeria #and plumeria just. SO MUCH. feels like an older sister. who has a lot going on. but still loves and protects despite that.#and ofc triandra literally is an older sister to peony. but SO much plumeria and triandra feel like sisters to me too #AND LIKE........ tbh the fucking sweet dream/nightmare split. freyja and freyr aside.#literally actually peony and triandra almost feel like half sisters (despite canonically being full blood)#it's the circumstances i'm talking about though. like plumeria and triandra live in one household #and peony and mirabilis live in another. they might see each other on weekends. do you get me???#also i am just still SO fascinated by where sharena's placement in it all could be.#like..... this may be a wildly different tangent already that could be its own post #but also don't get your hopes up for analysis again all of this is half-baked and purely headcanon. as well.#fe peony

Heartbreaking! The long fanfic series that sounds on the surface like something I would like ooc's their characters so badly they're unrecognizable!

#it would be half decent otherwise as far as i can tell but every 5 sentences im going 'he would not fucking say that 😒'#i would almost ALMOST understand it if they clearly just find the character's appearance to be hot but want a different personality #so they graft a new personality onto the base #but literally they also have changed the character's canon appearance so like.#you could have simply chosen a different character to write about buddy #i havent been super into fic for a while now but im in the mood and still cant find anything good #except old bookmarks ive already read 90 times #disgruntled octopus

the worst but also the best part about learning languages is when you reach the point where you are constantly aware that the people you talk to and the media you consume are all making cultural references that you simply do not get so all of a sudden you’re like goddamn it i need to read every piece of classic italian literature ever now

#one of the profs was telling me how her translation class decided that leopardi was 'emo' and i was like wow this would be so funny if i #knew literally anything about giacomo leopardi besides the fact that he supposedly ate a kilo and a half of confetti before dying #(thank you that one tumblr post)#but also the part of my brain that's like 'you need to consume those works In Italian' makes this difficult because i simply cannot do that #yet #arugujhakshjdhajahjfasjhfewkrjht #she speaks.l #this happened w spanish too but like. As i was taking a spanish literature class? so i already started to read stuff that's regularly #references & then just kind of continued to read stuff naturally #except sometimes i read literature from a specific country and i'm like sooooo i need to read all of your canonical writers now #reading mariana enriquez like oh so i need to read piglia reading piglia like oh so i need to read borges and arlt reading arlt like oh so #i need to read macedonio fernández #etc etc etc etc #well really reading borges --> fernández. whatever #aaaaaaaa. girls when the wealth of knowledge and literature within the world is overwhelming and wonderful but they will never get to know #it all :(#also this is like. the fact that there's so much just within spanish language literature. can u imagine the depth of also arabic literature #etc etc #i mean like i am sure you can. that was weird phrasing.#BECAUSE ALSO THEN IT'S LIKE. there is so much that is wonderful outside of the 'canon' of well known writers BUT I CAN'T READ IT ALL SO....

it makes me so sad when people refer to Vlaakith as a god lmao

she's a lich

like, an incredibly old lich with a lot of power, and I know from the outside it's easy to wonder what the difference is between that and a god, and that I'm being a bit pedantic about the mechanics of this setting

but gods (in Fearun) are not just 'really powerful magic users'. they're beings with a direct connection to and major control over a mortal 'portfolio'. their literal power is directly connected to the strength of their worship/veneration. gods can die but even in death they hold power over their portfolios (Mystra, for example, has 'died' multiple times at this point, but because her portfolio (magic) still exists she keeps coming back, in one form or another)

Vlaakith has no 'portfolio'. her power is her own and does not come from her follower's veneration, except in the way any political power is strengthened by its followers. she is, quite literally, just a 'really powerful magic user'. she wants you to think she's a god, but calling her one is ascribing her more power than she actually has. she can die, and once she's dead she's dead

#but also. this is an existing IP with hundreds of writers making up new lore every day #so like. maybe they'll canonize vlaakith's ascension to godhood and i'll be wrong #but i'll never read or run her as anything more than the lich queen she is #even in bg3 we can directly contrast her appearances to the appearances of the ACTUAL gods we meet in that game #shar and mystra both create demiplanes in which to communicate with the mortals they have influence over #vlaakith appears as a giant projection hologram wherever you already are. theres literally a spell for that #she makes herself big and scawwy but she cant even do HALF of what the literal goddesses do when they're just trying to talk

(Suspected but at this point it probably straight up is) bpd is so fucked up like I'm sitting here like "Wow I can't wait for ep 3 of tadc so I can finally have more Zooble content!! :D" but then immediately after I'm like "if they give Zooble a canon love interest at any point in this series I will absolutely not be okay"

#idk does this need to be tagged as a vent???#I mean. it somewhat is since rhis is a worry I have had for a while now #anyway they better not do this. @ glitch productions don't do this to me #I'm Zooble's canon love interest don't break us up pls /hj #I'm also so worried I'm going to have at least one whole new ship I'm going to haveto avoid like the plague #like I already literally cannot go into their tag or the tadc tag in general half the time I'm so scared lol #negative #< just in case #anyway funny how I got big into self qhipping again to cope with the fact that I felt myself gaining an fp #for the first time since I was a teen btw #only to have a fictional character become an fp for me lmao
