SO LIKE YOU KNOW HOW I RESPONDED TO THAT ONE ASK ABOUT STUDY-LIFE BALANCE AND IT WAS ALL PEACHY RIGHT

WELL UH LATER THAT DAY I WAS BROWSING THE GS ITALIAN SITE AND I FOUND THAT THE SUPERSISTERS 2 PREVIEW CAME OUT AND

Well tl;dr is uh I jinxed it in the span of a single day-- /j

(English doc is made by me, translation was made courtesy of plugging stuff into DeepL)

Anyway THEY LOOK SO DONE LIKE C'MON EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE ARTSTYLE YOU GOTTA ADMIT THIS IS HILARIOUS

And I made my own version of it too because how could I not HAHAHAH

#geronimo stilton #ask the supersisters #thea sisters #thea stilton #the range of the stars academy style strikes once again #this level of nuance in the expressions is what i'm LIVING for #only reason i'm starting to like them like this #stuff still looks weird in some illustrations but it's growing on me grrrrr #supposedly this book has like #the amazon is noping out of existence and the girls have to investigate that #but they end up bumping into the rowdyruff boys to their powerpuff girls and shenanigans happen #we dunno the alignment of the boys compared to tia dolores but *shrugs*#if it's gonna follow superhero tropes religiously tho it's prolly gonna be neutral or unlikely ally #cover slaps hard tho have you seen it #if you haven't the title is “supersisters il nemico invisibile” it's pretty cool looking

Amethio sweetie you're not beating the 'related to Gibeon' allegations anytime soon fr

#fluff binges !!!#(my god the past few days have been Absolutely Awful I need to unwind anyhow sdkjfsndfs back to the comfort series)#there's something so poetic in how Hamber assumes this mentor/grandfather-like role to Amethio #while at the same time we're seeing Diana and Liko's bond at the forefront throughout the ep #the parallels between them....... Hamber actively encouraging that thirst for power while Diana praises Liko's continuous growth...........#Hamber's even amazed at Amethio 'playing dirty' in battles for once #Amethio's always been so by-the-books when it came to battling and even honorable in a sense by always striving for fairness-#-between him and Friede (insisting on one-on-one even when he has two mons on hand etc.)#BUT NOW Hamber wants to see more of that sinister corrupted side to that want for power and it's like ooouUUH........ OOOUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #man is a catalyst in intensifying Amethio's corruption arc he ain't trying to save him he wants him to go nuts with this SDJFHSHJDNFS #AND HONESTLY??????????????THAT'S SO INTERESTING #I'm also taking that Gibeon namedrop here as a sign that him and Amethio coooould be father and son #like Gibeon wasn't even that disappointed with him losing against Rayquaza he went all like “what did you FEEL"#WHAT AN ODD QUESTION TO ASK CONSIDERING HOW TERAPAGOS REPEATEDLY SCREAMED AT THE BOY LIKE HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #AND SUPPOSEDLY BOTH TERAPAGOS AND RAYQUAZA ARE THE KEYS TO REACHING RAKUA SO HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #imagine if Rakua's in space hence it requiring Rayquaza to accessJSHDAKSNDKASNDSD /LH /J #MORE PALPABLY IT MIIIGHT BE IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF TERAPAGOS BUT IMAGINESDJKFSNJDFN #pokemon #pokemon horizons #anipoke #pokeani #amethio #explorer amethio #hamber #explorer hamber #master gibeon

i haven't added them officially bc i do not have any other fantasy creatures in the world so i feel like they wouldn't fit. but i want to put dragons in red rot so bad. but not big dragons. these dragons are like small dogs. small dogs that can also set things on fire.

#liv rambles #i've been obsessed with this idea ever since i played the sims makin magic as a kid where the dragons are pets.#barrows is telling me abt the discworld book he's reading that supposedly Also has dog-like dragons in it #i think this concept is in general Fucking Awesome and i want to do it so baaaaddd

Just started Roman Holiday and I want to grab E. C. Myers by the shoulders and shake him like a bobblehead

#rwde #why the fuck are you doing mean girls?? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING MEAN GIRLS MYERS #and this is a world (supposedly) based on color and individuality. absolutely NO ONE would be weirded out by heterochromia #this shit is so contrived im gagging #and i cant stop groaning at the fact that yep. *another* set of villains are confirmed to be victims of societal shortcomings #this is why watts is the most interesting villain post v3. dudes in this gig for himself and his ego #everyone else (besides tyrian which is its own bag of worms) has ~odeur de tragedy~ fueling their allegiance to salem #watts my beloved you did not deserve to go down like that #anyway cant wait to hear what fresh ableism and misogyny this book has in store!#not even halfway through chapter 3 ugh #lets just hope it's nowhere near a slog as before the dawn. took me like. two months to finish it bc i kept pausing the audio to berate it

pet peeve. books in 3rd person present tense

#ką sako lapė #i'm not a 1st person fan generally but if present tense is required it feels more natural #no shade on you if you like it i'm just indulging in haterism tonight #this is about a certain new release supposedly based on polish folklore...... i wonder if i should stick it out and read it #or if i'm better off with the reread of the drizzt book bc at least that one has the nostalgia factor

It's kinda sweet that Robo considers himself meaningfully "related" to Tesla because of the theory that his consciousness came from a snapshot of Tesla's brain activity. On the other hand it is extremely funny to think that by taking a scan of his brain functions and putting it into a robot body, Tesla managed to produce a son who is LESS autistic than he was

#atomic robo #well I don't know maybe Robo would only eat the same three foods that he could calculate the volume of *if* he ate food.#but somehow I doubt it.#god the more I think about it the funnier it gets. supposedly Nikola Tesla had a photographic memory #but his ROBOT SON is stuck reading books normally and forgetting things. like a plebian #Tesla was famously multilingually fluent and robo has had a century to struggle out a few sentences of Japanese #I'm sorry mr. Tesla your son turned out to be a jock #don't worry. fate is avenging you. your *grandson* has reinvented robot autism without having to be a brain scan of anybody at all

So thinking about Will the morning of the battle of Camp Half-Blood and thinking he's going to die.

It's not just that he's part of the stealth mission to sabotage the Romans. It's that he's part of the stealth mission to sabotage the Romans AND he's head counselor of Apollo.

Two years earlier head counselor Lee died in the Battle of the Labyrinth.

One year after that head counselor Michael dies in the Battle of Manhattan.

Will is the third head counselor in three years, and he can't shake the feeling that maybe the Apollo cabin is cursed. War comes straight to Camp Half-Blood - first time since the Labyrinth, to the borders that were supposed to be impregnable - and he thinks he's definitely going to die.

He volunteers for the mission not just because he needs some fresh air after helping Mellie deliver Chuck, but because he figures if he's going to die anyway, he might as well face it head-on, get it over with quickly instead of spending the whole day in an agony of suspense.

So he goes along with Cecil and Lou Ellen, unsure if he's actually drawing strength from the bright sunshine or just thinking he is, breathing deeply, trying to remember every step, every movement, listening to his own heart beat, glad that at least he was able to see little Chuck into the world, new life before his own death, and if the way things are going are anything like the battle in Manhattan last year was quite a few other deaths as well. He turns back and stares at camp so long that Cecil has to remind him to hurry up. He wishes he'd left a message for Austin and Kayla, and hopes whichever one of them is the next head counselor has an easier adjustment than he did and has better luck than him.

And then the next morning finds him, to his own surprise, alive and well. Exhausted, run ragged from tending to the injured all day and night, maybe injured - but alive.

He's survived the battle. He's now been head counselor for longer than Michael was. If the Apollo cabin was cursed it's been broken. He almost feels like he's had a new lease on life.

Anyway. This was my random idea bouncing around in my head. (feel free to use it for whatever you want if you so desire)

Oh, and then a year later in tower of nero he starts thinking the same thing -

HELLO?????

God, when I was writing that cabin 7 fic, I didn't think about the fact that Will would be worried about his death beyond the battle of Manhattan (which is maybe silly of me considering the entire back half of that fic is about Will surviving when Lee and Michael didn't) but you are SO right. The possibility that he would follow in their footsteps and die young too would loom over him until he ages out of camp. Every big battle that happens, the question must be on his mind. Is this the one that takes me?

I don't know that Will would necessarily be convinced he was definitely going to die, but the thought that it could happen must have crossed his mind. Michael died a year after Lee, and the Battle of Gaia happened a year after that. The pattern paints an ugly picture, and it certainly doesn't bode well for him. Dead man walking.

(Also the idea he brought a life into the world the same night he thought he might die.............. I love a circle of life and death theme, it's gotta be said.)

Characters ageing past their dead siblings is something I think about a lot too. Nico is canonically older than Bianca was when she died. Will's been a counsellor longer than Michael, and depending on your headcanon for Lee, maybe him too. They're getting to live the life their siblings never got because they died so young, and that must be a tough thing to deal with. Survivor's guilt is a bitch 😔

Anyway love this anon thank you for this <3

#asks #anonymous #we know canonically that Will probably doesn't think they're cursed only because cabin 9 is the one that's supposedly cursed #but like. cabin 7 having a death curse on their counsellors has always made more sense to me #love cabin 9 dearly but I do think that plotline makes more sense for cabin 7 #considering Apollo counsellors rarely survived past the book they were introduced in #and it could present a fun dynamic between Will and Nico considering the son of the underworld would DEF have opinions on a death curse #and when that death curse is affecting his boyfriend? many many opinions

it’s with depression that i fear i have to say, i think for a long time (too long really), zuko doesn’t reach out to his uncle during his retirement in ba sing se, not even for the much needed guidance he could use, because he considers it part of the exhaustive list of reparations the fire nation (and he himself) owes

#zuko: he deserves peace too that’s what this is all for #and you zuko? your peace? (he doesn’t know the meaning of the word in relation to himself)#i’m sure iroh reaches out often. lots of letters #but for one zuko’s swamped and pushing himself past his own limits with his responsibilities besides #and for two he’s just as guilty about his treatment of his uncle as his treatment of the gaang if not probably moreso really #it is of course horribly misguided and i expect iroh would eventually show up on his doorstep like you IDIOT boy of mine—!#but until then. zuko is in fact being a self sacrificing and self hating idiot #i also think this is largely true to his character because he has no idea how to uphold normal and healthy relationships #obvi particularly familial #and zuko always deals in extremes when it comes to everything he does #so rather than outright cruelty and insults….he swings in the opposite direction and overcompensates….#by shutting iroh out completely #and justifying it as ‘he deserves peace and i do not’#which is completely incorrect of course on all levels #but he’s still learning and his development arc doesn’t end at the finale of book 3 #ebb and flow. like water one might even say teehee #idk if this is canon to the comics i’m not super familiar with them except for a few plot points and quotes #it just breaks my heart that zuko still doesn’t understand that it is harmful to withhold himself from people who care about him #than it is to supposedly protect them from knowing him and being close to him #he makes me so emo hes so emo i love him so much

i kinda want to write a deep dive essay on silence of the lambs WRT gender and transmisogyny bc it's actually a much more complicated topic than a lot of people realise

#like basically yes the portrayal is ultimately deeply transmisogynistic and damaging #even the actor that played the character admitted that while he'd gone very out of his way to play the character not as a trans woman but #as a deeply homophobic cishet man #and done a lot of research on LGBT issues and life at the time #the trans women he met during that research told him how the felt and he ended up reaching out to the community to make amends several time #so like this isn't new discourse either-- transfems of the time didn't like it #another issue is there's a lot of lines from the book that never made it into the movie #lines that make it very explicitly clear that not only is the character not trans but that the author does not view trans people as violent #“There’s no correlation in the literature to transsexualism and violence. Transsexuals are very passive.”#actual quote from the book #and the director has also acknowledged his adaption did not drive this point home well enough and apologised profusely for that #and to be clear i don't know if the author has spoken about this #it does seem he was working with the best standards at the time but likely hadn't actually spoken at length to a trans woman before #and i think that's the real problem here #like i feel like it really speaks volumes of how transmisogyny works that like #even if everyone involved goes out of their way to actively try to avoid and debunk transmisogyny in their writing #if you don't actually spend time around trans women in real life and rely solely on impersonal “research” you're gonna shit the bed #and end up making one of the worst trans misogynistic caricatures of all time while actively trying to do the literal opposite #and i think that relates a lot to how modern transmisogyny is the way it is like all these tme ppl online supposedly trying their hardest #to be trans positive #and maybe some of them genuinely think they are #but most of them also don't have any TMA friends or peers some of them have never even spoken to a trans woman knowingly before #and also have never unpacked that #like you can do all the research you want but ultimately there will always be a level of dehumanisation and a lack of touch with reality #if you aren't actually talking to the people involved #you cannot unlearn transmisogyny without interacting with TMA people #and just because you were trying to be trans positive doesn't mean you actually were trans positive #nor does it erase the harm done

2023 reads

The Princess and the Fangirl

YA contemporary prince & the pauper set at a convention

follows a fan who wants to save her fave character from being killed off, and the actress playing her who’s desperate to be free of the intense franchise

when they’re mistaken for each other they instantly hate each other - but after a script is leaked, they swap places to try solve each of their problems - and start to see the fandom from the each other’s perspective

light (since they know each other for like 2 days) f/f & m/f

this is so deeply mid-2010s fandom tumblr. lmao.

#a little cringe yet nostalgically entertaining....#The Princess and the Fangirl #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #i read this bc i was looking for available audiobooks and this was vaguely on my backlist of aspec books #bc the sapphic girl is supposedly demi-coded - tbqh there’s like maybe one and a half lines that vaguely implies it #I don’t feel like it’s worth recommending on this basis (and since the thing is set over a weekend I would call her greyspec not demi)#it definitely has the silly drama that i praised the last 2 ya contemporaries i read for not having skdjgkjf #the fangirl mc is. a little bit of an insufferable tumblr fangirl. also her parents are con parents so maybe it's inevitable #there’s a ‘my makeup is my armour’ moment….lmao #it kinda talks about misogyny directed at female stars but not about racism which. felt like a bit of a gap #FAR too many HP references.#‘this only happens in kdramas or YA novels’ beloved. this is a ya novel #would have loved more of the artist alley content LMAO #i will say the artist gets an 'ugh too expensive I'll just print it' comment and just shrugs it off without bitching about it. unrealistic #one thing about the AA is ppl love to bitch about things privately LMAO #there's no way you could spend a weekend with someone you've known for years online and not realise it's a different person...#there’s definitely some stuff about fandom and fan culture that’s still relevant #anyway. I think this is more entertaining to read Now than it would have been when it came out (which was only 2019 tbf but..)#and I wouldn’t have read it not on audio.#the thing is people are like ‘wahh pop culture references will age your book!!!!’ but everything ages every book.#and having a book be such an encapsulation of a certain time can be fun and interesting actually…….#obviously sometimes it can be an uncomfortable way (the hp refs in here were a bit) but like.#you know what i mean. nostalgia. that WAS how things were. still are in some cases. why not have books reflect that #will say im so glad i spent those tumblr fangirl years mostly with 0 local conventions LMAO #by the time i started doing cons regularly (not long before i started selling in AA) i was a bit more mature #have to say when it references TAZ i had to pause and laugh for a second akjfhjkds

It has always bothered me that we don't get to know very much about Milligan's secret agent work. I mean, I know that the series is about the kids, but I have so many questions!

Like, how did he get reinstated? Did they have to perform psych evals and talk to Mr. Benedict and everything once his memory came back, or did he just show up at the office to see how things were going and they all went "Oh, thank goodness Wetherall is back after dropping off the map for nearly ten years. We've been falling apart without you, please help"

#and obviously i am loving all of the details included in “Time a Half”#which is a fantastic fic by @mvshortcut!!!#(that i have yet to finish but am doggedly working on because i really like it)#but i want to know about how the government looked at this guy who presumably appeared on their radar after a whole decade #as a past amnesiac and obviously changed man #who is now associated with the guy everyone laughed off as a crazy paranoid scientist and his team of oddballs and children #(because in the books at least the government supposedly knows)#and. with all that going on. decided to hire him back #i'm split between wanting it to be because milligan is just super skilled and already has a good handle on the curtain/ten men situation #and wanting it to be because he's also the glue holding his department together and everything's been going up in flames since he left #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #milligan #milligan wetherall

the rabbithole this post about a pornographic sumerian poem is beginning to lead me down....

#so far: i see this post with screenshots from twitter which has screenshots of some rather saucy sumerian poetry. me being me and being #kind of interested (though not very knowledgeable) about sumerian things and intrigued by saucy ancient poetry am like okay but where did #these actually come from. i look through the comments to try and find clues. find out its supposedly from something called 'the courtship #of inanna and dumuzi'. look this up. find a website which just has one webpage with this poem but it has a citation. look up the citation.#the authors name is misspelled and the other author was omitted but find the book its from. look through it on internet archive. find the #poem but the whole thing generally seems too complete and clear to be a sumerian text. look at the back to see if theres an index. it says #this version is actually kinda cobbled together from a bunch of DIFFERENT sumerian love poems and then workshopped a lot to work well in #english. however. it does not list the poems its compiled from. and now this is where im stuck. and i have to go to class now #my next steps though probably trying to find the original tweet and hope the person who posted it sourced it?#cause the screenshots dont seem to be from that website/that version of it

started reading chainsaw man again (forgot to continue it when prelims started) like from the very beginning, and i forgot how funny the denji and bat devil scene was, it threw a car with a guy inside at denji thinking that’ll create a moral do-i-save-the-human-or-continue-attacking-the-devil dillema and distract him but NOPE he throws it right back (T — T)

#now that midterms are over and deadlines are far away i can once again drown myself in media #my before bed time or afternoon book is jane eyre #then my ‘supposedly scrolling on the internet’ book is giovanni’s room #then there's orv which i read anytime but especially in bed when im supposed to be asleep or during car rides #then there's oshi no ko which has me by my neck #and im reading blue lock too #and my friend is persuading me to watch the new season of dr. stone and i am so close to doing it because i liked the movie #and i dropped jjk but godammit i now wanna catch up on the events preceding the unboxing like maybe there are clues somewhere #like as to how it happened #gojo rlly gonna fight him dressed like his biological dad

mutuals i miss you :( i’ve been so normal today

#I’ve only gone insane over religious imagery a little bit #im happy other people are digging into it and i just. the urge to start posting about everything i’ve found in dumpshit posts #it’s like. there’s a huge connection between all of the different pieces of religious imagery Mike gets but not in an obvious way #cause the garden of Eden and saint Michael shouldn’t connect but you can connect the tree of life and the book of life #and yk there’s like a timeline to everything #and then we get into saint Joseph and all the implications THAT has + will being jesus #AND THEN THERE’S PETER #and just a ton of other things #like nancy describes a creature with a gaping mouth and there’s something called a hellmouth that opens on judgment day #and peter’s apocalypse is a prediction of the events of judgment day #and the hellmouth supposedly belongs to the leviathan #and it’s just a whole thing #plus biblical numerology and michael’s number and the ‘death toll of 22’#there’s so much #biting and killing but gently

this booktok girl who got a platform from doing cutesy cottagecore-esque ‘fae’ videos self publishing a book which was promoted as...the first time bi people were depicted in fantasy...and it turned out to just be horribly written witcher fanfiction which was insanely racist towards its black bi love interest, sexualising her, depicting her literallybeing sold into slavery and graphically describing her being SA’d on multiple occasions and then her existing solely as a way for the pale blonde haired lavender eyed protag to ~discover her sexuality~ etc, and then that book getting picked up and re-released by bloomsbury with minimal editing bc they already knew it’d sell based on the ‘bi fantasy’ label alone to people who probably didnt even care what was in it........................they need to be shut down this is so crazy im sorry we should go back to gatekeeping

#it also has her being sold to a brothel and then tries to talk about how the brothel is empowering? or something? like are we done #the author like supposedly has an MA in folklore but idk where she got it and how because #before i knew all this i was annoyed by her stupid twee neopagan tier folkwanking #+ all the videos are like reminder not to read this book bc its racist af #and its just like. well anyone who read that would be able to tell it was racist like #its not a moment of dont support this creator they said a racist thing #its like the book itself is racist. so if you read it you would see that for yourself #so its kind of disheartening bc it just shows its more about like the concept of uwuuuu The Bi Fantasy Book than like #what is the content of the book. is it good. is it harmful #idk im tireddddd that was crazy
