Just thinking about a version of the Blind Faith au where it's ford burning Stan's eyes so he can't see the eyes trying to take his brother and the 'eyes' taking Ford's voice so that the stan twins play their game without cheating. So this other voice which feels kinder, softer talks to Stanley about how they can fix them if they listen to the eyes and complete their game. Stan asks how they would fix him and his brother and they say they will take what is broken and fix it. So stan and ford complete the game by finding eachother and fall through a dimensional rift.
Only to find out stan doesn't have any eyes at all it's just smooth skin and ford doesn't have a mouth also just smooth skin. The voice comes back and stan yells that this wasn't part of the deal and that they were supposed to fix the issue.
And their only reply is
"I did your eyes and mouth were hurting you so I took them and fixed what was left you are better for it are you not?"
#stan pines#ford pines#blind faith#gravity falls#Promt?#i just love when characters have to deal with a long term problem and work with said struggle#angst#stangst#I might write this#idk#Instead of against it#or magically get their problem solved

girl help I started writing down oc thoughts and have started contemplating the logistics of how a city carved into the walls of a ravine would have access to fresh water
#rye.txt#MaVst#'you should do some worldbuilding' I said to myself#'it'll be easy' i said#'just write down the little thoughts you've had floating around'#I AM A FOOL#there are so many bullet points in this fuckign document#and they're all devoted to the minutiae of how the city I have in my mind would function#how the very terrain would influence the culture#couldn't just do a normal city on flat terrain noooo I had to include homes carved into rock#anyway im pretending im upset but this is so much fun#I loveee getting to think about how tiny details all affect each other and influence the greater whole#it's like problem solving but I get to make the solutions as fun and fantastical as I want#if my ocs are my silly little dolls to play pretend with#then the worldbuilding is like getting to build the doll house#which is just as fun imo#anyway im gonna give the capital city an abandoned under-city that's no longer habitable now that the original royal family is#no longer in power#it used to be lit with the light magic of the ruler that was amplified by the crown#but now it's almost impossible to navigate and so big that your torch is liable to burn out before you can explore much at all#and without a light source it's completely pitch black darkness#<- see stuff like this is so fun to think about and I can just slap it onto my world because it's cool

Is being critical of Sabine’s force sensitivity ‘gatekeeping’ the force or it is about how it undermines the established magic system and was not well written?
I’ll give you a clue it’s the second one.
#Ahsoka critical#saw a post about this and I absolutely value the sentiment that the force shouldn’t be ‘gatekept’ BUT#as a writer I cannot abide by the execution#the character arc was not set up or executed effectively#if it had been foreshadowed ok#if it had been better executed maybe#but ultimately the mandalorian identity is integral to her character and the change would take a lot of writing work#can be done but yeah it’s drastic#as Brandon Sanderson would say:#“a writers ability to solve problems by magic is directly proportional to how well the reader understands said magic”#quoted off the top of my head but yeah#taught my 8yr old sister this recently#she gets it#filoni why’s it so hard for u huh#Star Wars critical#pro jedi#bc I like these guys#ahsoka series#Star Wars#do I dare tag Star Wars? yes I do

When I first got into Kirby, I didn't expect to like, actually get into it. I thought it'd be like any other hyperfixation I'd had up to that point, that it would go away within a few months and I'd never think about it again.
Given I was so deeply in denial, I didn't care about being fully accurate and had some stuff that was really goofy and/or underdeveloped and unexplained. Stuff I'd made up to just work for the limited time I would be there.
Still, I came up with a few headcanons that I got attached to, and when I started realizing this was here to stay, I still chose to be stubborn and had to work backwards to keep these stupid headcanons, but adapt them into something a bit more fitting and polished.
It led to some cool stuff, like for example, my orbs aren't very magical, this was something I had settled on early on. But after I got invested, I had to think about what that actually meant and the implications of it like, how can they do this without magic? And what about that? What about this canon thing, how do I explain it?
I found decent enough explanations for all of these. But as a result of my unserious beginnings and continued stubborness, now I get really embarrassed at the time to actually talk about my headcanons and the stuff I've come up with.
Because what do you mean your Galacta Knight is half-dragon?
#what am i. 12 years old. you're making him a fucking dragon? and he barely even Actually resembles one? cringe#so so cringe. everytime i think about how im going to have to reveal that eventually i get so embarrassed#i've been by myself on my lore for almost 2 years. as in i had no friends who were into it#so i was talking to myself and people who only learned kirby stuff from me#so i never fully realized just how cringe an outsider would find it until recently#but it always made sense To Me. with what I'd come up with and how I'd made it work#i fear people wouldn't think his story and the role his dragoness plays into it is enough to warrant it.#they'll think i just did it because i wanted to. and that Is the reason too. partly.#when i started i saw that bit of text about mk's wings not being real. that they were his cape and adult orbs don't have wings#and figured gk's wings and horns mustn't be real either if that was true. but that was weird so i wanted him to actually have them.#but i'd settled on this at the time already so how would i explain him being the exception?#my solution was to just. make him a hybrid. that'd solve it. I didn't know he was a dragon at the time though. so it doesn't#show in his design a whole lot. when you look at his dragon dad he does look a lot like him. but said dragon dad also does not look like#a dragon at all. not a scaley reptile typical one. so that's Another layer to my problem#my thoughts on orb wings and horns have since changed. theoretically I could totally make gk a normal orb now. but#i also decided that the only reason he Specifically can use magic it's because of this half-dragonness 😭#another show of him being the exception. he's always stood out as odd#so there's actually no going back. i'd also have to get rid of his fuzz and who'd want that#text post

do you have a favorite wizard, mg. official-linguistics-post?
if you are in the d&d inclined direction, do you have a favorite spell? and/or, if not so d&d inclined, any favorite general sort of wizardry?
there are always several wizards rotating in my mind like a gas station hot dog rotisserie, but i gotta give a shoutout to @quiddie's laerryn coramar-seelie, certified toughest wizard in existence. what a woman.
i've actually played only one session as a spellcaster (a sorcerer) but my favorite of his spells is currently mage armor because he's a tabaxi so he just. puffs up his fur.
#not beating the 'wizard obsessive' OR 'cat person' allegations today i see#my *first* favorite wizard was unmatched disaster numair salmalín#whomst among us has not solved a problem by using stupid powerful magic to fake their own death and traumatize their young student?#not linguistics#(officially dedicating that tag since i get *just* enough asks to warrant it)

*blows up someone's house* why are they mad when we put out the fire?
#cr spoilers#cr3e121#yall did not save the world you “solved” a problem you caused#also good god i don't get the view that with divine magic still around fuck all changes power dynamic wise#the gods will still have their followers and armies they can just fight in person now#great#most of their arguments for the gods coming back were just “dw nothing will change it'll be fun”#i genuinely wonder how this isn't on purpose how do they not hear themselves

Knight Xantheus!!! Very gold!! His armor is strengthened by magic runes and is therefore more sturdy than it looks.
#high rollers#rollonsunday#altheya#altheyatde#xantheus auregan#I feel like I read somewhere that it would be pointless to get a suit of armor made of gold#because gold is very soft and would not protect you enough#But I think the aesthetics are more important than functionality#This is why there’s magic. Magic runes make armor strong. Good! Problem solved#I feel like in this AU the world is similar enough to Altheya/Ilmera with just a few differences#They barely know anything about the planes (so I can call Daisy the Knight of the Peaks in reference to celestials/Nym without consequences#There’s less magic or it’s not as strong or less common? (so that our casters in the group can still be knights :3)#And most importantly: horses

I am honestly living for your worse manga au. Its actually so fucking cool :D i love the way you draw the action- and the idea of attacking (and being able to attack) a spirit is such a fun idea!
-Death Anon
thanks! doing this idly has been teaching me a Lot about choreographing fight scenes in a comic, which hopefully i won't have to do something serious with any time soon haha. and what it's turned out for this AU is a bunch of people who are really desperate to never be hurt again get locked in an arms race to find a way to hurt other people that won't come around and get them eventually, which does justify the magic i think, but also it does push for the magic to also be completely brutal and the visual behavior of spirits and souls to be the same as, if not worse, than the regular body. tldr all the shit marik pulls in canon (especially the scarab hourglass) owns hard and i want in and also for it to be worse and more direct. i'm glad this has wider appeal than to just me lol. cheers!
#not art#ask#the author's thinly veiled obsession with the way meat acts#to be fair you Can attack spirits in canon ygo. marik does that so much#and that kinda is what shadow games are. but also thats too much rituals for me. im not about that#those are safeguards to leash the magic and they are cool to see and watch but i love giving toddlers no cost zettaflare#thats me leaving the wuxia sensibility i think. no more honor no more structure you have absolute power at the tip of ur finger#and technically using it costs you nothing. it just also doesn't solve any of your problems either. go wild#well. it is interesting when pretty much none of the cast is interested in like idk world domination and shit like that#(except for zorc but thats bc zorc is a literal toddler for real who doesn't understand the fact that things have to be made to exist)#giving characters a hammer when they want to make a cake is great i think. watch them try to make their cake with a damn hammer#but no yeah rituals are a safeguard but they're also a buffer to me. like idk its like. validating ur position to act cruelly#bc ur by the book abt it. and of course it is a lot prettier than yknow. butchering a soul bodily#if theres a soul i dont think we get to do remote automated warfare on it. the hammer doesnt get to be out of ur hand#lmao i did tell friend yumi that theres specific nutrients in this average big-3-copycat shounen manga AU that i crave#no longer ethical to harvest from real life manga that exist so i made up my own. welcome to my attic garden

koume and kotake were like 400 years old... y'all think they raised any other kings?
#they must have least have had experience w/them if we take the 'roughly 100 years' thing as true#maybe they DIDN'T get to raise/teach the last king and they've just been. fuming keeping an eagle eye on every pregnancy#we'll get it this time sis#we'd be SUCH good moms/magic teachers/supportive evil advisors#regardless my most recurrent ganondorf biomom headcanon is that she was just like an artisan who liked her relatively calm life#so when they were like 'congrats! you had The Boy' she was like oh that's. that's great of course. oh no#...hey i can't help but notice you ladies vibrating with excitement over there do YOU wanna raise--aaand they're gone with the baby#well there's that problem solved back to embroidery#koume and kotake#twinrova#it's an old song and we're gonna sing it again

I think even before I really became a full fledged tummy lover I've always thought that some people would be significantly happier if they just embraced being fat.
Like. My mom has been fat for my entire life- so at least 20 years. She has this pair of pants that she's had I'm pretty sure since before I was born that she calls her "goal pants." I tried them on once when I was 14 and they were already too small for me. And every time she brings them up I'm always like. Does this make you happy? Do you get any joy out of having a pair of pants in your closet that you have not been able to fit for at least 20 years? Don't you think you'd have a much healthier relationship with your body if you weren't always waiting for it to finally be a size 14 again??
Idk man I just wish it were easier for some people to come to terms with the fact that they are probably always going to be fat and that it's literally completely okay. I wish society at large was nicer to fat people so that it could be easier for everyone to just be happy with their body. I wish I knew how to explain to people I love that they don't need to be skinny
#not to get toooo personal but i think my feelings around fatness and my mother are extra complicated#because even if she would hate to hear it she's part of the reason i had a difficult relationship with my body#growing up hearing your own mother talk about how bad her fatness is and how she absolutely needs to lose weight#really cements into your head that fat = bad. even if it was never said to you in those exact terms#so its really depressing that im starting to get out of that mindset and embrace the fact that I'm always gonna be a little fat#and to have to watch her cling to this hope that she's someday gonna magically lose 100lbs#and then all her problems will be solved or something#idk. its 1am and I've got shit to do tomorrow. so time to go to sleep#2pm in the morning

Love how every zelda has a special interest and that special interest saves the world.
#Like whether it's piracy or history of light magic or ninjas or technology or art zelda ALWAYS gets super interested in the one thing#That'll save her and the kingdom down the line. Like oot zelda 100% idolised impa and demanded to be taught shiekah techniques#And disguise only for those skills to become vital during the 7 years link was gone.#Tp zelda had the most knowledge of light magic it's history and applications and spirits by FAR and all of those enabled her to save midna#And summon light arrows#If ww zelda was sitting pretty on an island instead of roaming the seas with a loyal crew and several cannons link would have been screwed.#If botw zelda had been allowed to pursue her fascination with shiekah tech or even science as a whole who knows what they might have manage#Ganon might not have been able to take them over at all. She might have learned to channel her power through artifacts or learned to mimic#The energy flow of the shiekah magic which is directly derived from hylia/the tf of wisdom! She wouldn't have been stranded at the mountain#When ganon attacked if she hadn't been forced up there on her birthday. She could have outfitted the champions with better weapons that#Would have been more effective against the blights. She might have unlocked the slate or the shrines. She would have been more confident#And thus less abrasive with link. They would have been able to bond sooner and faster. Link would have been more relaxed and ready.#The shiekah might have been able to rework teleportation instead of 106 years late.#I am salty about rhoam banning her. It never would have worked out well.#Never keep a zelda from her special interest okay!!!!#Like as soon as she and link got to do whatever they wanted the problem got solved within a few months.#Never tell a link to behave or a zelda she can't research#loz#legend of zelda#tears of the kingdom#Totk#loz totk#loz tears of the kingdom#Botw#loz botw#breath of the wild#Zelda#princess zelda#loz zelda#loz link

why are we having fanmerch manufacturing discourse now
#man speaking as someone who has both ordered fanmerch for myself and who hand makes my fanmerch#this whole discourse seems like it's just punching at fanmerch artists because they're a target in range#rather than actually trying to have conversations about manufacturing and systems of production#like to warp a phrase from a post on here it feels like someone's trying to solve fast fashion by getting rid of all clothes#+ frankly going for purely handmade homemade stuff ain't a grand magic solution either#because that's just kicking the manufacturing and production problems down a step to the materials used to make the product#like me sewing and assembling my plush dolls myself ain't magically inherently more ethical#because the felt and thread and stuffing and so on i use is Also gonna be made in chinese factories#this ain't to say people shouldn't research chinese labor laws and factories#or that they shouldn't try to look into alternatives or cook up ethical ways of manufacturing stuff#it's more just i don't think it's helpful to punch on fanmerch artists about it#specifically BECAUSE these problems are just so much bigger than fanmerch production#i do think also it'd be helpful for like. for someone to actually Talk To some workers at these factories.#like that just feels like a critical POV to have in this conversation

unpopular opinion: under the oak tree is essentially pwp
#💫—qq's hot takes#no wait there is plot. the plot is essentially the miscom trope max pro.#like ??? things could have been resolved a lot quicker if either one of them just opened their mouth to talk#it pisses me off that they just have sex to “solve” their problems#like hey dw! just have sex and all your problems will magically get solved#dw i dropped this manhwa alr lol#and apparently things don't get any better in the novel#under the oak tree

unfortunately i am thinking about haze dogs again. nothing concrete. just vague shapes. connor in the iron dog mask. the dogs themselves stalking the town. that party scene that eludes me. connor drunkenly falling into the fountain pool.
#been thinking about what i want my writing to feel like since how it tickles my brain has always been what i enjoy the most#there is nothing like the flow of a paragraph into another paragraph into dialogue into another paragraph#a lot of my editing process is about making sure everything flows smoothly and it's one of the puzzles i enjoy the most while writing#but yeah i've been thinking about the stories i love#especially fresh of actually communicating my feelings on the girl from the other side i'm looking at. simplicity#about things like the team ico games and how ueda “designs by subtraction” and the way that shapes the atmosphere of his games#nothing captures me more than the unexplained#actually doing good by my blog description. raised in a context of magical realism 🙏#normalised oddities. big empty spaces that feel as if they have been hollowed out. the unexplained intentions of a creature#a lot of stress comes in when a story gets away from him and i spiral into complexities that muddy everything up#i cannot stress the pages upon pages of me problem solving things probably no one will wonder about#so i like the idea of design by subtraction. i wonder how i can put that into a book#pia.txt#( wip ) haze dogs

these youtube comments are NOT the only place ive seen sentiments like this WHAT are you guys talking about. “simon feels like he’s worthless without magic. so give him magic again :)” This is like putting a hello kitty bandaid on a neck wound that is nearly severing your head. that’s not going to help anything at all. that is not the solution and that is not where this is going. like, things that Happened To Him are part of the cause for why he is so fucked up, but ultimately The Problems Are Coming From Inside The Simon. as badly as he does not want to he is just going to have to learn how to exist As Simon, out-of-place human mundanity and all
#the theory that he ends up living in some alternate reality and thats why we didnt see him at all in together again is…… dumb#Like maybe we didn’t see him because he wasn’t relevant <3#anyway ‘maybe he can get to be magic :)’ ‘maybe he can live somewhere else :)’ No#i mean those things arent…. inherently impossible or bad#But none of that is going to solve his problems. At all#He has problems because he is refusing to accept change in the You Have To Accept Change series#and like. also for other reasons probably.#You are never going to successfully address a lack of self worth by going#‘i WOULD be worth something if i had THIS’ and then Having That#his issues r only somewhat due to the literal situation he is in#his. Reaction to being In The Situation is. the more relevant . factor#basilposting#atposting
