Fair Warning to anyone who asks about my HMS:

I am a Christian, and bc of that, a lot of religious themes come through in the story i've concocted for my personal C4 AU. if that's not your thing, feel free to block me or do whatever you'd like to, so that you don't have to see that content specifically. just dont be a jerk about it. there's no point in attempting to hurt someone just because they have a different worldview. i'll probably make a specific tag for when my religion comes up in posts, so that if you'd like to stick around but dont wanna hear about it, you can just filter it out. thanks for listening :)

I've always wanted to talk about how the gilmore girls fandom dismiss the parentification rory faced just bc it came in a sparkly pink label where she got to enjoy other perks like eating whatever she wanted and getting cool clothes and books.

now this is NOT lorelai slander, she's a flawed but well intentioned mother, and she did the best she could. I just wanna tap into the psychology of it all and how the fandom treats rory so unfairly.

the fandom is all about nuance and "two things can be true" unless it comes to rory and are just devoid of any empathy towards her even when she was a teenager! the scene where lorelai drags rory to a trip after the max incident was the most annoying thing ever for me bc of the lack of empathy people have for her.

maybe it's extra triggering to watch the responses for me bc my mom often treated me like a therapist too and would get upset when I acted like my age and refused to play her emotional caretaker (she also did the waking me up in my sleep to emotionally dump on me thing 😭)

but rory dealt with the situation the BEST she could for her age! she didn't ask lorelai about max the whole trip and only did when they got into bed, lorelai gets angry when she's not being allowed to sleep (which is something she literally did to rory like hours before) and flips the switch to teenage daughter after treating her like a best friend up until that point, how is rory not supposed to be confused? lorelai blurs the lines like crazy here, rory is her teenage daughter who she pulled in the middle of the night to help her get over the breakup, but also didn't share details, but also wanted rory to just go along and not be upset as a child.

two things can be true, lorelai provided for rory, made sure she had everything, and loved her, but it can also be true that rory was often put in situations where she had to take over the emotional caretaker role and wasn't allowed to be upset at situations or let her emotions out. she was expected to be the mature one in their relationship.

the scene was the perfect example of why rory turned out to be such a people pleaser in the later seasons and I wish the fandom understood this

people deny that she was parentified bc "lorelai didn't intend to" and it would make her look like a villian, but parentification isn't always intentional / or some calculated move. lorelai didn't mean to hurt her, but you don't have to mean to hurt someone to hurt them.

"Tutorial" on how to "draw" a blind OC.

My kofi

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

Writing a blind character 101 What to avoid etc Video on types of white canes Video on types of cane tips Some more explanation on white canes + tips + other stuff Guide animals Video on working with a guide dog ↑ if you're doing a non-dog non-horse animal please still perceive those two links. A guide animal is not a GPS that tells you "left" or "right" (in fact, you're the one telling it which direction you want to go). So before giving them something weird check if it actually makes sense. You can make a fantasy animal that still makes sense I promise 🦮👍 But why are Magical White Eyes a problem Same as above Going blind from an accident Video on conformers World's most basic "what do you call someone with albinism" The blindfold thing. No people don't wear these. This mostly stupid trope of covering a blind character's eyes because lord forbid someone sees a disabled body part This just stupid trope of giving a blind character some bs superpower to "see" The echolocation thing that every other blind oc does for some reason Just give them a cane good lord if you want a character that can see perfectly then maybe don't make them blind Bonus: if your character has a bunch of scars or whatever else then congrats! You made a character with a facial difference. Which is also something you should research.

I was rewatching sanders sides today while cleaning because it's the original cccc and it's been generating dopamine, but oh my gosh. My inner monologue sounds like Roman/patton right now and they will not leave me alone. Earlier it was Logan's voice. Aufjjslendkd get out of my head?? Please??? I love you but wrong imagination go home

Okay so I actually locked in and did a lineup of *some* of the main characters approximately in between Brisingr and Inheritance!! These took me ages and I got the idea for the frames about 30 minutes ago so sorry if some sizing is messed up (for example I think Nasuada is not as proportionate to the frame compared to the others but we will all pretend you didn't see it!)

Anyways in order of appearance we have: Eragon, Arya (the only one i didn't draw from scratch bc i liked the original drawing too much lol), Murtagh (who gets his own goth villain frame), Nasuada, Roran, Orik and Oromis! enjoyyyyy

Treat yourself the way you wish others had treated you.

It's all said and done now. Not much you can do about that. But just because you're hurting, doesn't mean you have to stay that way. Doesn't mean you deserved it, not at all. Allow yourself the grace and the kindness that you wish had been given to you. Treat yourself the way you wish others had treated you.
