it has dawned upon me that if i’m going to start sharing my fanfiction whenever i post a new chapter i need to post the first chapter, so!! please mind the tags

Hi! For anyone just randomly stumbling across my blog, I’m coming over here to Tumblr from AO3 because I need a better place to ramble about things than at my poor discord friends because half of them have been readers of my fic. also there’s just so much lovely stuff from the phandom on here and i wanna see other people’s artwork and writings because so many people here seem very lovely themselves. more ramblings about my fic below the cut because i cannot shut up

When it comes to my actual fic, Consequences, and Why Trust Should Be Earned and Not Given (or just Consequences for short) is a Persona fanfic with characters from P1 all the way to P5. It’s a shuake fic tbh but it’s also a slowburn and i am seemingly incapable of keeping literally anything succinct so lord knows they ain’t gonna kiss for a while. I’m currently in the process of rewriting the chapters I had up, so while it says the series only started this November (nov. 2022) it’s been around since January 2021 and honestly I’ve been working on this idea since April 2020.

For people interested in reading it, please note that while it isn’t an explicit fic it is rated mature for a reason and really isn’t for all audiences. There’s a lot of heavy topics that get brought up and while I always approach the more serious matters I write with the utmost care, I cannot in good faith suggest everyone read this fic just because I don’t want people to trigger themselves. If you’re thinking about reading it, check the tags and decide if it’s something you actually want to read or not. I also always have more in-depth notes at the start if we’re going somewhere dark that chapter, so that’s something to look out for if you do decide to start reading.

As I’ve said on the fic itself, there’s big spoilers for basically every mainline Persona game including: the identity of several villains across the series; the deaths of certain characters; and fairly in-depth spoilers for the stories of Persona 2: IS, Persona 2: EP, Persona 3, and Persona 5 Royal and more vague spoilers for the stories of Persona 1 and Persona 4 Golden. You don’t need knowledge of what happens in all the games, particularly with the Persona 2 duology as a lot of that has to be explained to the main characters anyways (they weren’t there after all), but I really do suggest playing the games if you can. Not just to read my fic, but because they’re all pretty good games.

Honestly I think the compulsion to describe things about your own original characters as "a headcanon", silly as it sounds and incorrect as it is, makes complete sense when you understand it as "this is a thing that is true about this character to me that I want to tell people about but do not currently intend to include in any actual published narrative about the character."

The summer between the end of high school and the start of college, I wrote a ridiculous play about pirates and put on a staged reading with some friends at an amphitheatre at a local park before a small audience of friends and family. It was never published or staged again. But I just got a message from an old high school friend I haven’t seen in years. He accidentally quoted the play in a conversation with friends, was asked what he was quoting, he couldn’t remember either, and wracked his brain until he finally remembered it was that silly play reading that we did one day in the park over 10 years ago. It made me happy. (The line was, “Huzzah for mercantilism!” by the way.)

A very tiny percentage of creators go on to be famous, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t remember little things you did for years and years. Who came up with most of the world’s most famous jump rope rhymes? Who coined some of the famous idioms we use in daily speech? Who made up ‘Jingle Bells, Batman Smells?” Somehow, all of these things stuck and spread around.

When I was a small child, I saw a high school put on a production of the musical HONK. In one song, the mother duck describes various dangers that her baby should avoid in the water, including fishing line, which could strangle him. A member of the ensemble played the role of fishing line, doing a maniacal laugh and over-the-top strangling motions, and I found it hilarious– and to this day, that’s an example I often think of when talking about how ensemble members can still stand out in theatre. The guy who played the role might not even remember that he did that, but I do.

I took Suzuki violin lessons as a kid. The teacher made up lyrics to some of the songs, and she let her students make some up, too. Now whenever I hear the instrumental of one of those pieces, I always remember these ridiculous lyrics about a skunk that we sang in violin class. I don’t even know which student invented them!

In middle school, I found a video about atoms parodying Bill Nye made by some kids for a school product. It probably had less than 1,000 views, but I think of quotes from that video all the time. They had a parody of “We Will Rock You” with the chorus, “Protons, neutrons, electrons” that I think about a lot.

I just love that this is part of human life. Our memories don’t just pick up quotes from great art, literature, and music, but little things, too.

At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI

Edit: yeah its AI

[theromanbarbarian]

This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.

[badboneszone]

Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way

Opening the notes and immediately taken out by prev.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

[marian-devotee]

My little brother insisted if I was going to post about him, he wanted a cut of the "profits". When I explained to him that Tumblr isn't monetized, and is pretty pointless, he and my older brother pointed out that he'd still be bringing me "fame and notoriety" if the post got "big". So we agreed, if the post hit 10k notes, which seemed extremely farfetched and silly at the time, I'd take my little brother out for sushi (his favorite food) and let him eat as much as he wants.

I guess God wanted the little robot to enjoy some sushi 🍣 🥲

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing
