Disclaimer: the caption is is not an official title! Just thought it was something from the game that made me what making this image made me feel : ]

Besides my deteriorating laptop not able to handle the size of this file (crashing 15+ times) I wanted to share the process since semickolon (Mickole Nulud) wanted me to! [UNTIL THEN SPOILERS]🛑

I really wanted to play on the themes of moving on and self-delusion. In Act 1 The Ruling is the constant looming force despite never being talked about by Mark, and yet it drives everything forward nonetheless. And I guess, you know the rest if you played!

I was also inspired by twilight sunsets while riding through Mahabang Parang Angono (sadly, I have no pictures), since a lot of the topography in the game is hilly and mountain-adjacent like Rizal itself (& because the skyline there is sooo beautiful and unmatched, you can see all the way to Metro Manila!)

Hello 😇👋,

My family and I are facing incredibly difficult times due to the ongoing war in Gaza 💔. Our dreams and future have been shattered, leaving us feeling lost and without purpose. My brother Ahmad and I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help us escape Gaza, continue our education, and support our family.

Making a small donation or sharing the campaign — would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support 💖

With gratitude,

Anas Basil

on fanfiction, fic authors, and the (misplaced) expectation that fanfiction should be an extension of the source material rather than…fanfiction

forgive the negativity, i promise this won’t be a norm :)

i’ve been writing fic as a hobby since i was in elementary, first for the TMI series, then 1D (lol), then haikyuu, genshin, you name it. for the most part, writing has afforded me unique opportunities to connect with fandom, even if many of my earlier fics never saw the light of day.

while i’ve received a lot of love from the communities i do publish fics for, i’ve seen an uptick in entitled fic readers publicly bashing fanfics because authors “mischaracterize” characters from the source material.

then, i watched a tiktok about a renowned bakudeku fic:

*i’m not a diehard bakudeku or my hero fan, nor do i consume any fan content for the series, so if i’m missing something regarding the bakudeku fic, you’ll have to forgive my ignorance. the point i wanted to make extends beyond mha anyway.

…and realized this problem was not endemic to the fandoms i’m active in, but a larger sign of souring fandom etiquette.

i don’t care how entitled you think you are to reading “good” fic. voluntarily consuming someone’s work and then complaining about it because it doesn’t meet your “standards” is a terrible way to interact with fandom spaces. you’re allowed to have opinions within your circles. everyone does. but the moment you publicize hate so you can interaction farm + round up other entitled fic readers (who often don’t produce their own fic), you’re inviting negativity into a space that you have no right to police. what gives you the authority to criticize someone else’s labor of love?

to begin with, the expectation that every fic writer’s interpretation of the chars must perfectly align w the source material imposes a skill/time barrier on fan work creation, draining all the fun out of the creative process. even if someone knows in their head how x and y are characterized, the disconnect between your brain and the words you put on a page takes time to mitigate. writing is a skill honed with practice. in other words, it’s difficult to convey what you want with words. by expecting fic authors to faithfully abide by source material characterization instead of allowing them creative freedom to INTERPRET ART (because believe it or not, these chars are just another piece of art that can be analyzed from different angles) as they see fit, you’re limiting the pool of creators to one of the following:

1) fic authors who understood the source material characters “correctly” on first read

2) fic authors who didn’t initially, “correctly” understand the characters, but could reread the source material and capture them through thorough study

i’ve missed some nuances, sure, but doesn’t that sound ridiculous? because i think it sounds ridiculous.

a suggestion, if i may: how about you just don’t read a fic you don’t like instead of lobbing unrealistic expectations at people who share their work out of love for the source material? how about you create your own fic since you’re soooo confident that deku wouldn’t wear this or that? legit why don’t you try contributing to the space instead of clout chasing and driving fic authors out? if you have so much criticism, then please, by all means, bless us with your vision. only through creating will you see how difficult it is to abide by your standards.

and if you’re a fic author who criticizes other fic authors’ works, shame on you. everyone in the space is interpreting art. congrats on being able to map out “canon-compliant” scenes or dialogue. stop holding other people who aren’t quite there yet/have no interest in doing so to the same expectations.

Vetted and Verified Fundraiser 💞. Donate and Share💞💞

Please donate and share, your support will help me get the life-saving Humalog insulin injection I desperately need.

Hello everyone, I'm Lavine a Palestinian and I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition that requires a delicate balance of insulin—a precious resource in my war-torn homeland of Gaza. I am in a constant battle to secure the insulin that is essential for my survival. With medical resources running low and hospitals overwhelmed, getting the medication I need has become a daily and dangerous challenge.

My situation became even more critical when bombs struck dangerously close to my home, leaving me with no insulin at all. With pharmacies closed and aid unable to reach our besieged area, I found myself in a desperate situation. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels skyrocketed, putting me at risk of falling into a coma.

I am asking for your support. Your help could truly mean the difference between life and death for me. Please, help me obtain the insulin I so desperately need.

MY GOAL $134/$460

KINDLY CLICK HERE TO DONATE AND SHARE TO HELP ME GET MY INSULIN INJECTION HUMALOG FOR THIS WEEK

Please continue to support me by donating directly or sharing the link to let others know. Feel free to help people in difficult and miserable times until the dark days are over.

[demonyawa]

Not yet halfway to her goal, Lavina needs money for insulin to survive for the week. Please donate or share for support.

Head up! This is a scam! Here’s proof! Always remember to search usernames and a chunk of the post/ask before sharing. Most scammers have already been caught elsewhere and this is the fastest and easiest way to protect yourself! Also, notice that they claim to be vetted, but don’t say by who.
