This is the man I'm writing about y'all.

Why is he a leprechaun? No idea.

The camera angle is both shitty and golden.

I love it.

[57oddities]

I come back with news of this fucking photo.

I was scrolling through my camera roll for photos of any variation of Domhnall Gleeson as one does when you're like me and have had chronic brainrot of this idiot for as long as I have

And y'all, look what I found:

It says virgin.

This has been in my camera roll since January. How have I NOT noticed it until now????

Also, here's a better version.

I've officially gone insane.

[57oddities]

I drew me and my baby <3

Ignore the weird lines, I drew this solely for a discord pfp

Much loves,

To @morby:

I haven't made this post to you yet because, well, I haven't thought about it until now (and I'll be honest, I was a wee bit stupid in the head until recently, but I digress shsjshskshdkd)

But I make this post to simply say...

Thank you. 🫶

Thank you for reading my fic. Thank you for looking deeper into it than I thought anyone else would. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it to me and the others who'll be going through its comment section.

If I ever feel down either about my writing or just in general, I always go back to it and feel so giddy that someone took time out of their life to sort through my silly little words with a magnifying glass and pick them apart piece by piece.

You help keep this story going. And I thank you for that.

Yours truly, with 57x kudos;

57oddities

[57oddities]

You ever look at

This man ^

And wish to see him shatter? Do you simply want to watch his character be taken apart piece by piece and have each aspect looked at through a microscope?

Boy, I've got the fic for you.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Here you'd be able to watch as he gets stripped of his ranks, his dignity, and his purpose, and given a new role in life.

And how he changes that, too, for the better.

It gets bloody, it gets dark, but it gets sweet and it gets hopeful.

It's not finished, but that doesn't mean I'm done with it. Updates will come eventually, no matter how slow. I ain't giving up on it.

[57oddities]

Haven't reblogged this in a while, oopsie.

Here's my self promo of my (soon to be updated!) monster-sized fic of tearing Hux apart then loosely putting him back together again <3333

[dalekofchaos]

What went wrong with the sequel trilogy?

No plan and basing the ST on mystery boxes and "subverted expectations"

No balance of treating the legacy characters well while passing the torch

Falsely advertising Finn as the Jedi and reducing him to a side character

No clear motivation for Kylo Ren or the First Order

Not sticking with Rey being a nobody and Ben Solo as the Skywalker of the trilog

Empire vs Rebels, but dumber

Destroying 30 years of peace offscreen

Destroying the New Republic and Luke's Jedi Order

Destroying everything Han, Luke, Leia, Anakin, Padme and Obi-Wan sacrificed for

Making everything Han and Leia fought for meaningless by killing their son

Rey ending up on a desert planet, alone, where she started

The Skywalker bloodline going extinct with Palpatine's heir taking their name

Voting ended onMay 10, 2024

[57oddities]

Ffs, all of it went wrong. All of those options are applicable.

The only reason it did slightly well is because it was pretty and it was a Star Wars movie

Ayyy, after a 2 month hiatus, I wrote most of this in 3 days, and it is officially UP!

[57oddities]

My baby, everyone. The thing I need to reblog more. I only wish this gets the love I feel it deserves, that it would hit people in the feels, and have them coming back for more.

Call it begging for attention all you want, but I really, really feel like this has become my magnum opus.

I'm proud of it, and I want to share it. And I urge you to do the same.

[57oddities]

Ive updated the summary for CiaSoU! Now you kinda know what's gonna happen :]

What if Hux never died? What if Hux left? What if, in between Starkiller's demise and Snoke's death, he decides to leave in hopes of finding a better faction to lead?

What if, when he sneaks on a cargo ship to run, things don't quite go to plan?

What if his luck runs dry?

(Good god read the tags)

[daincrediblegg]

no you know what I'm going to scream about the stuff I talked about in the tags of this post publicly

I'm tired of the well-meaning "don't feel bad if your work only gets 20 notes your genius is what counts and do it for you!" bullshit. I've had a good handful of friends who have straight up DEACTIVATED in recent months because their work was not getting reblogged AT ALL. No, it wasn't from lack of not being well-liked, no it wasn't from lack of trying to make sure it was getting out there to the people they knew would engage with it. It was because no matter how much they were praised privately for their work, when push came to shove, absolutely NOBODY reblogged it and gave it the audience that it was due, and I'm tired of people shoving the "unsung genius" narrative as an excuse for it. Nothing excuses that. And the boop event really proved that.

because I know given the opportunity, indiscriminately pressing a button (sometimes 10 thousand times, as I did) is not beyond this website's capability. y'all loved doing that. and look at what it wrought. nothing but love and affection and happiness. just from a couple of quick clicks of a little paw button. sure. nobody knew who you booped but the other person (which is how likes used to work on this website, btw). there was an element of anonymity to it. but that is kind of the core of this website that no other social media platform still has: the ability to be anonymous. and hyper-curating a blog on here like you might on twitter or instagram to project an image is simply not viable. and hey. you wanna know a secret: literally nobody cares what you post or whether it goes with the "theme" of your blog or not. yeah. I know. CRAZY concept in this day and age. but literally. I myself have reblogged things that have had nothing to do with whatever I am currently fixated by and you know what happened to my follower count? not a damn thing. in fact, I actively try to reblog things specifically BECAUSE it's my friends who made them (even though I'm not always good at KEEPING UP WITH HOW MUCH THEY POST @prismatica-the-strange will NEVER GO UNRECOGNIZED by me).

And you know what fucking sucks? I have to deal with this too. surprise right? you ever wonder why I reblog fics or art I post like 20 times the day that I post them? do you ever wonder why I ask about tag lists and beg for asks all the time? IT'S BECAUSE EVEN I GET LIKE. 5 LIKES ON THE THINGS I POST. AND THE REST OF THE REBLOGS ARE MINE SO I CAN MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE WHAT I MAKE GET TO SEE IT. and I say that knowing that I'm certainly not an unpopular blog, or an unpopular writer. I know that people love the stories that I create. Hell, half of the people that I've talked to about lady terror have told me that they consider her to be canon (AND EVEN SOME!! THOUGHT SHE WAS!!! WITHOUT EVEN HAVING WATCHED THE SHOW! WHICH IS STILL SO SO WILD TO ME!!!) But especially in the last 4 years (which really dates this phenomenon), my posts, no matter how well received they've been amongst people I've talked to about them directly, I still go into the notes and at least half (often more than half) are MY reblogs to make sure people saw what I posted. and it happens every single time, and I can't tell you how much it crushes me considering that it used to be that I would be able to post it only once, and people would reblog it sometimes even HUNDREDS of times.

It's not about popularity. it never has been. it's not about anxiety. or shifting website cultures. even if you lurk, the simple fact is, that if you want people to keep making what you love. you have to reblog. your theme won't suffer because you reblogged a fanfiction that you really admire. your posting won't be ruined because you reblogged some fanart from someone in a different fandom. really. I promise. and if people do unfollow you for that? who needs em. followers come and go but you should NEVER have to cater to them. on this website it has ALWAYS been the other way around. lean into it. make it yours. put stuff you ACTUALLY WANT to be seen and that you love and appreciate on your blog. no matter how old it is, how new it is, no matter how niche or off-theme it is.

so please. if you really want to show your appreciation for someone's work? you reblog. it's really as easy as that. check the tags. add some when you reblog if you like. but please for the love of god reblog. it's as easy as booping and even more rewarding for the people who you reblog from. if you want to let someone know that their work is genius and appreciate it? show it. reblog. then DM them if you're too nervous to say what you want to say but not in a public forum. but for christ's sake. REBLOG.

[57oddities]

I should really promote my work more. Thank you, OP, you gave me a little hope :]

I WANT people to see my work and appreciate it, not for the fame, but for all the work I've put into it. I want to touch people's lives with my writing. I want people to remember my works for months if not YEARS after reading, and I want them to keep coming back to read.

I wish to only leave an impact. I don't want fame, I don't want recognition (though, that'd be admittedly cool if someone could recognize my writing style), I just wish for my stories to affect people in a way that makes them cry, only in a good way though.

I'm nearing a full year anniversary with my main fic I'm working on, and it's almost finished. I will surely be crying when it's done, because it has turned into my baby.

I hope more people will see this post and have something speak to them through it. Cuz it sure happened to me.

Once again, thank you OP, 57 kudos from yours truly <3

[buspir-deactivated20230127]

the notes are broken 😂

[calvin-reads-problem-sleuth]

Reblogging partly for awesome computer shortcuts, and partly because I wish to once again take part in a Post That Broke The Notes. 

[57oddities]

Yeah I'll agree with that

[57oddities]

This is a bit of a rough draft of his face, but here's the main antagonist of Caught in a State of Unease.

His name's Asii'ar, the torn mouth isn't canon but my hand decided to give him a torn mouth so now he has a torn mouth. Yippee!

I am abysmal at drawing humans in general but apparently burn marks are my worst enemy. Second only to hands. BUT! We might be getting official art for one of the chapters!

[By yours truly <3]
