Intro post? Intro post.

I made this account to lurk and Absorb Deltarune Fan Content, but then I remembered that I actually like engaging with people. Oops. Here is a little bit about me.

You can just refer to me by my blog name. If we talk, I'll tell you my name. I'm probably gonna end up pretty lax about it, but at the moment, I don't want to have my name that easy to access. Jury's out on whether it's because I care about this aspect of my privacy or if I just want to feel mysterious.

I'm kind of in a weird place of being mentally way better off than I ever imagined I could be, but now trying to reclaim the things that brought me joy and life back when I was unwell. Hence, fandom stuff. I'm also writing again. I was somewhat scared that I'd lost my creativity forever. But nah, I've still got it. Currently, I'm astonishingly into Deltarune. Deltarune will probably be what most of my blog is. it gets my brain juices flowing. It holds my hand through questions about my purpose, about what it means to persist, about how I can make the best of what I can control in my life while coping with what I can't. It also has peak yaoi. I can't say no to peak yaoi.

Oh yeah and Homestuck jumpscared me, prepare for that to be the next bit of insanity here.

Hodgepodge not-exhaustive list of other interests and hobbies: (modded) Minecraft, Balatro, Undertale, Pokémon, reading, tarot, walking outside, eating delicious food, running, watching movies, yoga, brain teasers/puzzles I like talking to people, but I do it in such a way that when I'm not 100% engaged, I kinda drop off the face of the earth socially. It's never personal. I know that kind of thing can feel really bad for some people so I figured I should be up front. That aside, please feel free to say hi!! But not just hi, lest I think you're a bot. Also, I have an 18+ sideblog for the funsies. It's here.

My tags:

just leave me yapping: my ramblings about whatever. Tag for original text posts in general

just leave me cooking: analysis posts

just leave me peak content: stuff I really like

just leave me references: stuff I may find useful

just leave me nonsense: ranting (?) probably nothing too bad. we chilling. as per the blog title.

real life topics: exactly what it says on the tin

cw discourse: you know now that I'm thinking about it idk how to define this. Similar to real life topics but... about fiction mostly? I'll know it when I see it. Really shouldn't be that frequent tho

Anyway, that's about it. Yippee.

In terms of fandom mischaracterization I think Rose has it the worst out of the beta kids because people see her as the rational and most reasonable of the group when she’s routinely doing the most reckless and destructive things out of all of them

cursed with the knowledge of how to play stringed instruments and all i use it for now is griping in my head about, like, nonsensical bow placements in fanart

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Passing along for all the writers out there!

I could sure as hell use some of this... 😭 And of course wishing all my fellow writers the same!

There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.

Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).

Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.

ao3 is an awesome website for people who love "open in new tab"

strong reminder that everything doesn't "happen for a reason". a lot of the time things happen, and it's not a test or a punishment or predetermined. sometimes you get cancer or lose the ability to eat or can't walk and it doesn't have any greater meaning. i know as a species we love pattern recognition to try and avoid bad things from happening but that doesn't mean whatever explanation people make up to rationalise the fact that anyone can be disabled no matter their status or moral character any more truthful

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.
