im just thinking. albus is such a liar. I know he lies about everything.

#albus severus potter #ALL IN GOOD FUN OF COURSE!!!#not like in a pathological liar kind of way #more like. his favorite tv show. the music he listens to.#really low stakes stuff #and nobody everr believes him except harry!#also this is in direct opposition to scorpius. who cannot lie to save his life.#i think albus is so silly hes so fun to talk about lmfao #ADDING ON he mostly does it for face saving yk to look kind of cool

been realizing as ive been writing lately that i truly love nothing more than writing useless arguments between characters that go nowhere its my passion in life. what this means is i need to add more of this in signosie and i have the perfect place to do it so the address' plotline is gonna get all the horrible interpersonal arguments. yay <3

#pers #not Just them but like. theyre a really good spot for it #everyone else is too. format makes that a bit tricky but ill figure it out #argument dialogue is SO fun.#what im realizing is that writing low stakes fic on the side would probably be really good for me #once i get out of my own head about it its a fun enough excuse to write stuff i wouldnt otherwise ykwim

2023 reads / storygraph

The Poisons We Drink

YA urban fantasy

a girl who brews powerful potions is coerced into making potions to interfere with D.C.’s most influential politicians in an attempt to stop a dangerous Witcher Registration Act from passing, and will do anything to protect her sister after their mother is killed

bi MC, nonbinary love interest

arc from netgalley

#The Poisons We Drink #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is…….a lot of cool ideas but also so many elements and high stakes that i kinda lost track of them #the pacing is weird. the worldbuilding is random?#why is brewing SO overpowered & risky for her but the other powers seem to have pretty normal low-scale risks?#it’s definitely ambitious and has some cool ideas and also some great characters just. didn’t execute as well as I’d like #as much as we’re told the main threat is the government trying to put through a Registration Act #most of the actual antagonism we see is from other Witchers?#like the systemic discrimination got a bit lost in the witcher family drama and murder politics #important things to say about oppression and police violence but like....idk #she has this ‘deviation’- essentially evil sentient magic inside her head (and you KNOW I love that trope)#but it’s barely explained and very underutilised? other than helping her get out of bad situations you could take it out & would barely #change anything #also it’s explained at the start that she’s an empath but other than the very occasional mention I kept forgetting #will also note that I bumped this up my tbr because I saw the author talking/promoting it as the MCs sister being aroace but no mention #maybe it’ll come up in a sequel (there weren’t really any places where it would have made sense to bring it up here) but idk #(just the way the author was asking for advice on how to write an ace character and stuff you’d assume that they’d….put that in the book?)#not really a critique of the book itself but anyway. I really wanted to like this but the way it was put together just did not vibe with me #edit: I saw the author say on twitter that the version used for ARCs was before ace stuff was added and that there's other signif changes?#so perhaps that will be there! i'm not sure if I want to read it again but might skim just to see what that's about

watched the first episode of lucky star (was curious because this anime shaped a generation). did i click the wrong thing. i watched 3 anime girls stand in the same spot and talk about pastries for 7 minutes

#i knew going in this would be like. cute anime girls doing low stakes stuff #but! i thought it would be zanier? i guess?????????#but they really just stand in one spot. huh.#anyways probably will not watch more #i found it pretty boring #i was pleasantly surprised by how gay it is. but i can get that a lot of places

I love slower pacing in shows.

#I need like 30 episodes of low stakes plots and character development before I get really invested in things #a lot of recent stuff just throws intense plot beats and reveals at you with no real chance for a breather #and the emotional moments don't work as well for me because i don’t understand the characters

gonna queue some new posts but will have a quick rant before that

just love when people sue in court but only provide bits of the contracts they base their claims on

i am sorry that i cannot decide whether this court has jurisdiction because you only gave me selected pages of some general terms and conditions and idek what the name of your contract is so i can’t determine which of these terms even apply

#ctlyuejie rants #i love the overall confused people who come to court - mostly low stakes and entertaining #but when i have to write stuff solely based on the written exchanges it just gets very tidious #was super confident i could finish two tasks in four days #looks like allnighters again #also: the more contract based stuff i get the more i'm certain the consumer protection agency needs more pull #the shit some companies pull in their terms of conditions because they think they can get away with it #there's also a mri appointment next week and i really hope i haven't fucked up my knee again

i also think these early takes on sayains + super sayains are really interesting and im curious to see if they hold up to modern db or if they kind of get left behind.

#i ADORE the idea that failure / near death makes them come back physically tougher #and i like the way the super sayain transformation was portrayed as a loss of reason + really letting rage consume him #and i know a lot of transformation stuff SAYS its the same deal but the weight isnt really the same #idk just something about the way this first transformation was done and the way he talks about krillin and the SHIFT #in gokus tone from before #where even in the thick of it he still had that very goku-esque lightess and was clearly having a good time #because the stakes are all just kind of abstract to him yk #<- low empathy moment #but uh the way he just cuts the bullshit entirely in the back half of the fight #and literally just goes fuck your entire life #is SUCH a good and badass tone shift #red.txt

mundane post for the day because i've been Posting so much lately: cold enough to wear fluffy socks over my regular socks, and a fluffy 'jacket' over my tshirt and flannel shirt at home today! Guess it's winter!✌️

OH DANG ALSO! regained enough brain power to correctly reorder a replacement for the accidental green fabric, as the replacement i got that arrived the other day was also wrong! Sad! Oh well, there's other uses for very specific fabrics i guess :P

#if i had good temperature control i could maybe do something about it r.e. the heating but as it is. layers are the best option :P #i do love to be a fluffy little guy fortunately :P #if i every regain full mental capacity i'm gonna be so powerful (*able to avoid simple mistakes) :P #(also these fabrics are very small quantities so my flippancy about it is proportional. you can imagine my dramatic posting if i were truly #making consequential mistakes!!!!#hmm or actually you probably wouldn't hear about it bc the only stuff i post about is low-stakes really! Big Deals reserved for me only :P)

Our official Sweets Baker has the rest of the week off volunteering at a camp for cancer survivors, so I've been in charge of the whole sweets bake. Was a bit nervous yesterday but I did good!! No slip ups and I got the whole bake done by just after opening :)

#scooped muffins in record time and didn't get burned once pulling stuff out the rack oven #actually wasn't super stressed about it like i thought I'd be #something about the relatively low stakes nature of baking versus other jobs/projects I've worked is really easy on my anxiety #i speak

now this is character design

#love how petty victoria is about their costumes #yeah she hates these guys #see this is another thing that like moose is really cool worldbuilding stuff about the world of capes #that worm couldn't have elaborated on due to its tighter pacing and higher stakes #early ward really tries to be more low-level so stuff like these guys with ridiculous outfits is more common #it's fun! granted its probably a little unrealistic since anime never gains the cultural foothold in parahumans world that it does here #so people with these anime style outfits probably would be much more rare #but like yeah of course people are gonna do this!#and it also makes sense from a practical level since they have such ridiculously lethal powers #yeah they'd probably try to seem ridiculous! so they're not terrifying!#ward parahumans #wardposting #wardblr #it sucks that they only show up like twice in the whole book #could the super magic dream parade have fixed ward? no. but they would have helped

A dead jock with a heart of gold who when alive was really into the supernatural/paranormal (who's also a nerd ), a goth mortician who can see ghosts (wow really breaking news with that one), and another goth who's the biggest skeptic you know (he literally lives with the dead jock who he grew up with and can see while he's dead)

#finding home #oc shit #i wanna get back on this one i love what i've come up with here #simon and farron have known each other their entire lives and farron is in love with him. ghost and all #it's a low stakes story if anything. is simon really dead? is he in some middle ground? who knows. but he is sticking around #some polyam stuff as well

Drabble request omegaverse edition

Alex is in heat for the first time with a partner Jack of course and they get stuck

Okay don’t hate me I know I already passed on like every single drabble but like I swear to you there is more omegaverse content on the way, I’m just not sure how to write the getting stuck thing because that’s,,, that’s what knotting is

#like I imagine you mean For A While #or Before An Event #but at the moment the omegaverse content in progress doesn’t really have that??#it IS another first heat kinda beat but like #it’s less high stakes than cbth ya feel?#I wish Wattpad didn’t eat the finals week omegaverse oneshot #I could probably try to rewrite that with this concept in mind?#I promise you I’ve had this in the back of my mind every time I go for omegaverse content #cuz this is not the first time I’ve gotten a request like this #but like #there’s stuff on the way I swear #sorry for the no drabble after I asked for drabble requests 😭😭#I’ve been so friend I thought I wanted something low effort but I was more going for unserious I guess #I just like to write things unseriously #neon answers #requests #sort of

i finally did something lineless again for the first time in A While, so i felt like comparing!!

old ones are from october 2018, new ones are from very recently (august 2023)

#man. that's nearly five years huh. dang #low stakes 🦇#sometimes it's just really fun to compare recent stuff with old similar stuff #just to see how your art has progressed. and also how their designs may have subtly changed. very neat #also don't worry einarr still mainly has a sidepart haha #i like playing with his hair!!! i always did #i've drawn him with a middle part back then too #it's fine #also it was 2018 einarr was only BARELY starting to become a character at this point #also yeah i've been drawing mort's hair a lot wavier lately #it's more fun and it looks very nice actually #morten still has the top hat too. don't you worry #again i like playing with their designs and morten has a lot of hats <3 #but yeah. pretty sure that old lineless mort actually never saw the light of day until now. he was literally still in the psd file #i wasn't completely happy with it at the time

I had this idea for my 8th year fic (that I have mostly dropped bc I felt like this storyline was making the fic too complicated) about the muggle studies class doing a play and Ron and Draco are playing the leads bc they’re the best actors in the group but the leads happen to be a married couple so they have to (petition to of their own volition bc it’s not in the fucking script) kiss onstage.

#They’re still reading Macbeth #They’re just not acting it #Maybe they will act it idk #I’m just not sure how much it makes sense for them to do a whole ass play #When the concept of theater is completely new to them?#So like they have to build a stage?? When they don’t know what a stage is #I really liked the idea of Ron and Draco acting together and Harry just zoning out in stage crew #Painting sets and humming a little tune in his head and relaxing #Give that boy some low stakes physical labor!#Would he be soooooooo jealous if he saw Ron and Draco kissing?? Yeah #Even in a play #I can’t remember how I picked Macbeth #I think I just decided it would be dope for Draco to play Lady Macbeth #I have some different stuff I want Harry to be doing in this fic #There are two versions of him I imagined for this story and they don’t marry well #So I have to pick one #This version of Harry is in denial about his trauma because the war is over!#We don’t have to talk about how bad it was!#Yes he’s head boy #But he’s also dragging his tent around everywhere and avoiding Ron and Hermione (they’re a couple and he feels left out)#Im only like 5k into this one #And im already so intrigued by the dynamic between H&D #They are both so sad and lonely and trying so hard to keep it together and be okay #And it’s like this mirror between them and they can finally see how much they have in common #And Draco is finally accepting like #How much he depends on Harry to give him a sense of who he is

I have such ambitious plans for the new year.

I want to write at least one more chapter of WBTL.

#Personal #Low stakes I know XD #But no you don’t understand 2023 was a nightmare to me especially the last 3-4 months #and right freaking now I’m still half dead #Хнык хнык I hate January #It drains all my energy and any hope for the positive outcomes #(yes this is because of exams I’m generic as heck I’m crying because of school (uni))#Oral exams my beloathed #As my teacher said she wants us to show our knowledge in stressing situations 🥰#Ajshndkfjnf PLEASE #I can barely speak in unstressful situations what are you even talking about #Anyway January won’t last forever I have a long-awaited break in February #And THEN I’m going to have fun #Not for long but still fun #Anyway back to WBTL #You know I actually miss those times when I updated every month x)#I wrote almost every day even if it was little #and now I just open my new doc every now and then add 1-2 paragraphs that don’t move anything forward and cry internally #What happened to me…#I make quite a lot of ‘off screen’ stuff now but really it doesn’t count #Buuuut I think I figured how to put all the upcoming events in order because when I tried to connect all of that in my head #I panicked that nothing of it made sense and started to rearrange the entire timeline thinking when every event would be more fitting :’D #Eventually I just wrote down my original idea read it and calmed down because yeah it actually was coherent #The last sentence of this plan is everything was good again #Yeah writing is my therapy #(Валерио пафосно снял свои перчатки)#Oh and I just have to say I’m going to introduce quite a lot of new characters in the next chapters #and I’m extremely excited to make another post with my characters picrews #Most of them are already made but I cannot share them :’D #Well a good motivation to keep writing
