#razzy's rambles

[lordoftherazzles]

My takeaway from the past 24+ hours...

There are so many of us that rely on ao3, whether you're a reader or writer. It brings us joy, it gives us an escape from the real world, and it lets us come together as a community to share stories and scenarios about our favorite fandoms and characters. The amount of posts I have seen on multiple platforms lamenting over the DDoS attacks is overwhelming - but with most of them comes a delightful cheer to the volunteers working to resolve this issue.

I've seen so many statements of praise for those volunteers, which is exactly what they deserve, and more. Can you imagine working for over 24 hours straight, on a volunteer basis, against something like this? They're the real MVPs, and I think our appreciation for them gets lost until moments like this rise.

With that said, here is my first real takeaway...

Don't bitch when ao3 does a donation drive. They work hard to keep the archive up and running, and with that costs money. Every server, every new addition or feature you want to see added to help make the site better, it costs money. The legal team that is defending fanfic authors??? MONEY. SO! DON'T! COMPLAIN!

I'm not saying you have to go out and donate your paycheck to ao3 - but I will say that, especially with this situation, if you can donate even a little bit to show your support, it means more than you probably realize, and even if you can't donate (which is totally okay), be kind to those who work on the archive. Send them kind words of encouragement, rather than flaming the archive because it's under attack - because yeah, I've seen people bitching AT ao3 for not working fast enough, or for it still being down. STOP IT.

My second takeaway...

Don't believe everything you see on the internet. Ao3 themselves have advised that the group claiming to take credit for this attack is to be treated with skepticism. And not only that, let's NOT automatically make assumptions about who is responsible just because of an organization's name. It's just a NAME, it doesn't identify a person's origin, background, etc. But I'm not here to dive into that much further. Point: I better not see any Sudanese hatred on my dash, or I will bite you.

My third takeaway...

Treat your fanfic writers with respect. We all now see first hand how much we depend on these stories. As I said above, for some it's an escape, a creative release, and a way to communicate with other people through similar interests. It's a beautiful creation, neither above nor below any other kind of literature.

Consider commenting, reblogging, kudos, anything you can to let the authors know you enjoyed and appreciate their works. Everyone is free to communicate in the way that suits them best, but every little bit is appreciated - as a fanfic writer myself, I can tell you that even a little heart emoji has made my day. It's like receiving a second kudos, and tells me that someone appreciated my efforts enough to give me a double thumbs up.

Any form of communication with the authors is appreciated. It lets them know that people are genuinely interested. We live in a world where INSTANT GRATIFICATION is taking over, but creations such as this take time. Talk with the authors, ask them about their wips, tell them they're doing a great job. Do NOT pester about "when are you updating next?" or the dreaded AI option - again, I will BITE PEOPLE if I see you doing this. Just...have some respect, show your appreciation, it's more than JUST FANFIC.

At the end of the day I guess this post is about being kind. Not pointing fingers or slandering people due to a name. It's about appreciating the things we do have, and not taking them for granted. Whether it's the brave cyber warriors currently fighting these DDoS attacks on the frontline, or the authors writing for not only their enjoyment, but for others too. Let's all respect one another, and show our support when and where we can.

HUGE THANK YOU TO THE VOLUNTEERS AT AO3, YOU ARE THE REAL MVPS!!!

I- uh-…..

Okay well I actually don’t know cuz I haven’t received any since I was like 7 or something PFFFT🙈😅

At that time just ONE well placed raspberry on my belly button would immediately take me tf out and I’d scream for it to stop😵‍💫💀🙈

However I’m not as sensitive as I was as a kid so I’m gonna say maybe… 3? 4?🥲

Idk, someone needs to help me find the correct answer to this question🫠👉👈

So I did a thing….

Ig this is part one…

[the-empress-7]

Liz Garbus has been rambling incoherently on IG.

I will have to check this out.

Netflix might care about the views, but Liz cares about the critical reception for the show. Since the show is being panned across the board, her entire professional reputation is currently sinking like the titanic. It's safe to say the show will not be winning any awards unless it's a Razzie.

20 Questions for Writers

I was tagged by @elvain! Thank you so much! 💖

1. How many works do you have on AO3? We're currently sitting at 29 (28 for Tolkien, and 1 for OFMD)

2. What's your total AO3 word count? Based on everything I've POSTED on ao3, we're at 659,963 words, but I have plenty of things that I've yet to post!

3. What fandoms do you write for? Tolkien (Bagginshield), mostly. Though I've written for OFMD once, and wouldn't mind revisiting that fandom!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? May Your Forge Burn Bright / (Take Me Back To) The Night We Met / Dragonhearted / An Ink-Stained Vow / Concerning Dwobbits

5. Do you respond to comments? I always try to, anyway. There may be some that I just don't get to (I'm sorry!)

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I am predominantly a "happy ending" fic writer, I don't actually think I've written something that has a sad or angsty ending?

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All of them are happy endings, if I can help it! I think my favorite happy ending so far is from When Darkness Shines Brightest - the fic overall is so angsty, and for it to have a happily ever after, it makes it worth it.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I have, yeah, and it's not a fun feeling.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do write smut for Bagginshield, so m/m, and nothing too crazy I don't think? Very simple, very vanilla lol

10. Do you write crossovers? I don't. I DO have an idea for one, though, it just may never actually happen.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have, yep!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Bagginshield, hands down!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? This is a hard one, I have so many IDEAS that have yet to reach WIP stage, so I don't know. I am pretty hell-bent on finishing everything that's actively in progress, currently.

16. What are your writing strengths? Descriptions, maybe? I am wordy...and like establishing every single little detail if possible. I also like to think the dialogue I put out is pretty decent!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Definitely angsty content/dark themes, battle scenes, but also just overall self-confidence? I think I struggle with maybe being a little TOO wordy sometimes.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I'm definitely okay with it! Khuzdul, for the win!

19. First fandom you wrote for? For actual fanfic, Tolkien!

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? I love all of my fics for various reasons, but I think my absolute favorite right now has to be Bookbinder//Songwriter, which is still ongoing. But Dragonhearted is a close second - a mashup of The Hobbit and Beauty & The Beast? Yes!!

Tagging: @myeaglesong @i-did-not-mean-to @scyllas-revenge @blueberryrock @perkynurples @ahufflepuffhobbit @blairsanne @cilil @niennawept @fishing4stars and anyone else who wants to play tbh

💚Please Read My Rules Below💚

DM Disclaimer: Due to my range of physical and mental disabilities I frequently experience brain fog and fatigue, and my social energy varies day-to-day. This means there are days I’ll chat up a storm and converse/RP with you all day if you’re available, there are days I only have the energy to send you one message, and there are days when I just can’t talk to anyone at all. Sometimes I will pop onto Tumblr just to post something I had pre-written so my blog doesn’t die but I don’t reply to my DMs because I still don’t have the energy. My silence doesn’t mean I’m not interested in talking to you or being friends!! I LOVE having friends here, getting Tumblr notifications makes me smile and some of y’all are my closest besties🥺 But I do have to pace myself with social interaction because I’m still recovering from a very serious burnout and I need to take care of myself and charge my internal battery. So if I’m quiet for a little bit it’s okay to reach out and check in but it may take me a day or so to get back to you👉👈 🐈‍⬛🩵✨

Minors: As stated in my chart, minors may follow me and reblog my posts if they so choose because I don't post NSFW content but please don't message me, I'm not comfortable with power imbalance.

NSFW: I fully respect the NSFW tickling community and have nothing against it. NSFW blogs are allowed to follow me, HOWEVER: Be chill about it!!! Do not write uncomfy comments on my posts such as "This is so HOT", that's not okay with me. Essentially, interact as though you don't have a kink and just simply think tickling is cute. As for DMs with NSFW blogs, DO NOT CONTACT me if you are a male or masc NB. I might be willing to chat with females or fem NBs, but that is at my discretion. Please respect that. I'm not interested in anyone getting horny over me or my content

RP: Do NOT jump straight into my DMs with role play requests. As stated in my chart, I will only RP with friends. "Friends" in this context means we've had several friendly interactions via comments or DMs. There are rare cases in which I will reach out to someone I've had very little interaction with and request RP if their bio has clearly stated they're down to role play with anyone, but I repeat this is RARE. It probably goes without saying based on the previous paragraph but ALL role play will be STRICTLY PLATONIC, I am NEVER at any point flirting with you regardless of your gender. If it sounds like I'm flirting, it's probably because I'm autistic and don't always understand the subtleties of human interaction, it's not on purpose.

During RP I do not like being called "good girl", that’s bedroom talk for me. Instead, feel free to call me any form of "good lee", that'll instantly melt me <3 I also don't like being licked in any way, but nomnoms and razzies are okay, as well as platonic kisses if we're chill like that :3

Oh yeah also if you're homophobic/transphobic/racist/ableist/MAGA/mistreat animals/etc. etc. gross human GO AWAY.

Thanks for reading!!🐝🩵✨

I CAN FINALLY DRAW COOKIES (sorta)

Now I can show you all Razzy Bark >:)

I wanna ramble about them but I’ll just throw a few things out

They’re part of my wip au called The Deserters AU, they’re a cacaoian cookie who was born with weak dough but they’re descended from a family of great warriors so they feel as though they have a lot to live up to. Also they can see future/past/present events in random visions (but I might change that part later)

[octyfish]

Could you tell us more About Wren?

You wanna know more about Wren? Well damn, sure!

I'll stick this under a read more since it got kind of long.

So, well where to start? Uh, well originally Wren wasn't supposed to be a design that ended up sticking around. She was one of the designs I made for the 2021 FNAF advent calendar. One of the puppet designs.

These are the earliest sketches I have of her since I did some design sketches on paper before making the final posted pics.

The final design ended up being the one on the right (although I did eventually switch back to side buns instead of top ones) and she ended up in the advent calendar here.

After that, idk, I just ended up really liking Wren's design and drew her more. Eventually she became more of an OC, so she got an updated non-limited color palette and stuff. She's also kind of stuck in that weird fnaf/non-fnaf character that Nette is at the moment.

As for Wren's personality, she's one of those high energy, bubbly types. You might think that makes her a bit of an airhead, but she's actually quite quick on the uptake and is very knowledgeable about her interests. I also imagine she'd unintentionally be a bit of spiritual magnet, which can get her into trouble without her knowing it.

She works at a shop that's a bit of a mix between a curio shop and an occult/magic shop. Sometimes Nette is her co-worker (again, weird limbo for these characters), and sometimes she's just a friend of theirs. Either way the two of them are very close to one another, even if they can grate on each other's nerves (or more accurately Wren getting on Nette's nerves).

Wren is also friends with @silverxcristal 's Nightmarionne, and also Themmaster (Razzy). They get along well, and Wren may get along with Razzy as more than just a friendship...?

But uh, yeah, that's about all I got for her for now. Thanks for letting me ramble about her.

GIGLI- 2003 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the greatest movies of all time.

Gigli (rhymes with really) is a gangster/debt collector with a "heart of gold". He works for mob boss Lewis who tells him to abduct Brian, the mentally challenged brother of a federal prosecutor in order to blackmail him into dropping charges...

Things are complicated when Lewis hires another contractor to watch Gigli and Brian.

The contractor is Ricky (Jennifer Lopez), shes as beautiful as she is annoying. She almost exclusively talks in monologues. She never does anything physical in the movie but talks a good game. She says thats she knows a move where she gouges your eyes and takes your memories.

Naturally, Gigli is keen to bang her but surprise surprise.... shes a lesbian. Thankfully thats never stopped Ben Affleck and he proceeds to woo her....

Also, Gigli might be gay.

As Gigli and Ricky grow closer with Brian, the baywatch loving, mentally challenged guy they abducted, they start to have a crisis of conscience and consider starting a new life....

Gigli is one of the biggest box office bombs ever and is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made. How did the film turn out this bad exactly?

Some of the blame has to fall on Martin Brest who wrote and directed this. Unlike a lot of movies this bad, the director actually has a lot of experience. He directed Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run and Scent of a woman. After the release of Gigli he completely disappeared from the film industry and i wasnt able to find any comments from him about this film.

Another problem was that it was written as more serious and Sony wanted to cash in on the stars and made it more like a romcom against Martin Brest's wishes.

The budget for Gigli was 75 million dollars which seems impossible as most of it takes place in Larrys apartment, a whopping 52 mins of the runtime take place in there. Affleck and Lopez' combined salary added up to about 25 million dollars but i cant understand where the rest of the money went.

Christopher Walken and Al Pacino both appear in a scene each. Its hard to say which is stranger. Pacino is dressed as Tony Stark playing a character called Starkman who rambles incoherently about whether a thumb is a finger. Walken wants to get a big bowl of pie, some ice cream, put some on his head, his tongue will slap his brains out trying to get to it.

Mmmmmm good, interested?

With the exception of Ricky, Gigli, Brian and Lewis, every other character in the movie appears for only one scene, does something insane and then we never see them again.

Giglis mother invites him over to inject medicine into her ass. When he gets there she is wearing a pink thong and tries to bang Ricky.

Ricky's ex turns up at the apartment in a rage, tries to initiate a three way, fails, and then slits her wrists. Then they just disappear like nothing ever happened.

Part of what makes this movie so funny is how many awful lines theyre are. Everyone talks so crazy its unreal. Like when Ricky wants Gigli to go down on her:

Gigli was the first film to sweep the top five categories at the Razzies and was destroyed by critics everywhere. It doesnt seem to have found an audience the same way Troll 2 and The Room have but its one of my favourite movies of that kind. Its so needlessly offensive/very dated and at points it goes so off the rails you cant believe what youre watching. An essential watch.

One of my favourite movies.
