If u rp and u also have did, it’s never just as simple as “I’m really in character now” is it

[awetistic-things]

i think the thing that sets autism social anxiety apart from general social anxiety is that it’s not “anxiety” or nervousness, it’s genuine paralyzing fear

It’s hard to engage in the new PJO show fandom because I have to constantly fight against the urge to talk about just how much this series means to me, like.

I remember the exact moment I started reading the books as a 9 year old. I was in a boarding school and had finished the assignments early. As I was walking back to my seat after handing in my homework I saw a classmate reading Sea of Monsters. I borrowed it from him as I was already interested in Greek Mythology and started reading, and was so confused because it was the second one. The next time I went to a book store I made sure my mom would help me find the first and the third books. And at the time there were only three because even though the PJO series had finished the books were slow to be translated to Chinese, my 1st language.

This series saw so many of my first times. I engaged in online fandom for the first time, by finding an online Sci-Fi & Fantasy forum, to share the news that the Battle of Labyrinth were about to be translated to my language, and people there made fun of me because they had already known for a year. The PJO fandom was where I made my first fandom friend. It’s the fandom that got me into writing fanfics and making art. I started venturing into international websites - sites that are not in Chinese - for discussions and fan content. I became interested in the world out there because of PJO.

When Mark of Athena first came out our side of the fandom was enraged. To me, a closeted queer 12 year old troubled with ADHD and depression in China, Nico di Angelo would be the first ever character that I could see myself in, a gay character that I would actually be able to read about in a published book. A gay character that’s normalized, who was troubled by his identity. Someone who is just like me. And his confession about Percy was censored in the Chinese translation.

I started translating fanfics - and translating content in general - because of this. I didn’t want other Chinese fans to have to wait years for new content like I did; and I didn’t want them to read a filtered, censored version. In high school I would finish a non-official translation of the first Trials of Apollo book. It took me more than a year, but nothing was censored. I hope it is still up there.

I chose my English name - a name that I tie a huge part of my identity to - because of a character in PJO. I started going to my local foreign language library and began to read, read, and read because of PJO. I picked my college major - anthropology - partly because of PJO. Heck, I decided to study abroad in college in the US because I had a crush on a girl who was also into PJO in high school and she was planning on going to the US.

When RR started writing the series I’m sure he did not intend for it to have this big of an impact on a little Chinese girl’s life. But it did, and I’m eternally grateful for that.

Okay y'all I've seen this three times now, why are people just copying-over other folks tags when they reblog things now? And I don't mean using the same simple labels, I mean straight-up just copying whole-ass tag conversations/meta/jokes/etc.

What fresh hellsite hell is this?

[murmurmurl]

I'm starting to realize that if something doesn't look good, just slap random rendering and it suddenly starts looking much better. wha the heel.

Omg i CANT wait for ur Lando fic, idk if you copy paste ur tags or write them all out but I found that when I was copy pasting mine for some reason it never worked but when I wrote them out it did, hope that helps 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

aweee 🥺 i didn’t know that tho, interesting! i always just write all of the tags tho…. the first time i tried posting the fic, i wrote them all individually, but the second time i copied them! and then i wrote them all the third time, and the 4th time i only put #lando norris but that didn’t even work 😭😭

So. What are Gklk gonna do if they win if they win Revolution.

Gklk's main goal as a group is getting Liberty from prison and society's standards. But! Have you thought about what exactly are they going to do with that Liberty...??? Cause it has me really torn. Knowing the other contestants, we can kind of guess what they would do if they won Road to Legend and Paradox Club. Bae would make it a more "hip and trendy" hangout place to the public and Cozmez probs wouldn't know what to do with a Club so they either hand it over to someone else or use it as their personal venue. But what in the world is Gokuluck going to do with A CLUB???? I don't think they'd put it to a decent use knowing their behaviours (Shion could make it into a strip club for all he cares). Besides, if their goal is getting out of prison, winning A CLUB doesn't guarantee that at all.

Winning RTL doesn't prove anything positive for Gklk I fear. Their lyrics don't reflect them being "back into society" as Yuto wants them to, and most guards seem to not give a shit about their resolve, so I don't think that's a decent excuse for them to be freed. I know how stuff works in that prison, whoever is better at Prison rap is superior, so using that logic you can say they could be freed by winning a rap related competition, but considering their crimes. I'm not very sure. I'm not good at theories and no one has said 100% outright what did they do to be there, but we know Kenta was tossed into an actual prison instead of a reformatory and doesn't have a "due date" since he's considered dangerous in government standards, so the others are probably seen in a similar way. Idk if THE GOVERNMENT would risk being in danger again just for some prison rap. I just have no idea what's going to happen if they win. I'm calling over the Gklk likers to help me here cause oh my god I think I'm looking too deep into this☠️

My feelings are hard to explain okayyy

[wonderland-irwin]

Okay, so yesterday I get home from work and there’s like a packing slip thing on my front window… addressed to me. These things only happen when the package is too big to fit in the mail box… I have to actually go to the post office and get the package. I have no idea what is in said package. My guess is it’s that massive order I made on the 5SOS tour website… but I have no clue.

It’s actually driving me insane because I’m about to head out to work again today and I’ll have to go after dinner. I’m going to be twitchy about it all day!

Not fair we DokJoong fans want yaoi too

confused after making that JoongDok yaoi analysis post for DokJoong fans because I remembered something -

Isn't there a yaoi stereotype of Cool Sly Top x Cold Tsundere Bottom?

That would be yaoi Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, DokJoong.

Like this?

(Imagine Yoo Joonghyuk in those positions)

Why isn't it explored in the ORV fandom?

It's also yaoi

Not fair. We DokJoong fans want yaoi too.

weird dream i had

i had this dream like last month that i was in the gym with my mom and my family i guess, and my mom called me and was telling me to bring her this yoga ball to the treadmill area so i went to go do that, but i ran into my great grandma? and she was on a ledge, like a ledge above absolute nothingness. so i ran to go help her off, BUT then she wanted to go home and i guess she was living on this really big tower but to go up the tower u have to take this sort of elevator. my great grandma lived on the top floor so once we were on the second-to-top floor i forgot my great grandmother and she was crushed by the elevator but i could still hear her screams. and all of a sudden i was running up the stairs of my childhood home away from the wailing cries of my now pulverized great grandma. crazy dream
