8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?
this is a fantastic question that i wish i had a more interesting answer to than "uhhhh i think i already did it actually." (it's the heians. i'm talking about the heians. please for the love of god read the heians.) honestly last year and change were pretty significant for the fic bucket list—i did heians (which is no joke something i've been wanting to do but fearing my lack of specialist knowledge about for over ten years), i did multichap (even if i kinda cheated my way into it with vignette style), i did [REDACTED] (2017 did irreparable damage to my psyche but it can't take MERMAIDS from me, babey!!), i did annoyingly pointed spitefic about people not unpacking their racist priors in fandom (lol)............
this is kind of the answer to a different question on the list, but i think the thing that i would like to do one of these days is finish the minotaurpheus fic the way i think it deserves to end. and i do know how it ends—it's just figuring out the middle, which is somewhat difficult because it does involve both fantasy geopolitics and the two main characters sitting in a cave not knowing anything about the fantasy geopolitics going on about a hundred feet up that are going to start affecting them quite a lot as soon as someone comes down into the cave to tell them what the fuck is happening. so, yeah, maybe this is not going to be the year, but wouldn't it be nice if it were?
on the topic of consent for fictional characters cuz i guess we're doing this now
i was drawing nsfw one time and asked glip explicitly for permission to use papaya. they said flora is all creative commons so i could do whatever i wanted
i later found out they were super uncomfy that id done this. so theyd probably accuse me of raping papaya now or something
but wait!
if they didnt feel they could express no, then werent they just letting themself get raped when i didnt want to do that???
looks like im the victim here after all checkmate dumbass
also honkai's lucky there isn't any archives i can sink my teeth into otherwise you wouldn't see me ever i'd just be knee deep eating all the lore through that

That feeling of finding a great fanfic and getting totally swept up in the story - extra joy points if there's witty banter
when I am around outside, and I’ve never noticed this but, I exclaim whenever I see an animal or a weird plant or whatever no matter how common it is and I rant about it to whoever I’m with and. I get asked why I’m so “weird” abt it in kind of a joking manner but I have to ask like.
isn’t that the point of being alive? isn’t commenting on and appreciating supposedly small stuff every time you see it the best part of being?
I like seeing the same squirrel eating a nut in the same spot for the fourth time this week!!!! I enjoy seeing the same flower growing between my pavement that is growing in the yard!!!! I like hearing birds talk every morning!!!
I dunno, I just think that maybe if it wasn’t considered weird to be outwardly expressive about things that make you happy (especially tiny things) everyone would be a lot happier!!
I think it's wild how Obsidian is trying to lower expectations. Who set those expectations with the reveal trailer to begin with??
I also don't understand how Microsoft just keeps the 100 people devs show going instead of giving resources to the studio. You don't need to go over board like most studios did the past years by hiring too many people just to lay them off but this sounds like the whole acquisition is kinda useless.
Unless this game is like a trial period and they are betting on TOW2 or something.
thought i found a way around-ish the video per post limit, linking the tumblr mp4 in an existing post "works" in the editor but it bombs out trying to save/post. womp womp. why create another copy when i could embed the original? but no
