I am over 18. For me Tumblr is a place for chillin, I just like to hang out and share my fandoms and gush about my friends.

[nanenna]

Hello! I'm Nanenna, or Nenna for short, and I've been using this name for over a decade! So if you've seen me around before, it's probably the same person. I have lots of accounts all over the place but let's be real, with my ADHD I don't remember they exist half the time, let alone go check on them. But if you want to find me elsewhere.

I'm on AO3

I have a Ravelry

I'm on Ko-fi

And while I do a lot of writing prompts here on Tumblr I also am archiving them on AO3, so no master tag for me. Well, aside from "nenna writes" if you really want to wade through all that. I recommend just heading to AO3 if you want to see what all I've written though.

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol

[teaboot]

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

[et-in-arkadia]

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

[bendingsignpost]

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

“This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it was written by a preteen, and most of such things posted publicly are fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it has a focus on character and relationships, like the style of a lot of modern fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it keeps referencing people and events with the assumption that the audience is already familiar with them, like how fanfic doesn’t need to rehash the source material)”

[pomrania]

Some further suggestions from the notes:

“This reads like fanfiction (it’s a love story for the ages as long as you can overlook that the author keeps misspelling ‘you're’)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (you can tell the author was having a blast writing this and now so do you reading it)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author is clearly info-dumping about a very niche hobby of theirs that they’re passionate about)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the characters keep getting put in increasingly weirder situations which you’d normally only find in fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author felt the need to rehash the characters from when they were first introduced instead of after several years’ worth of character growth)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it had no editor)”

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

Bruce: Alfred, I have to tell you something.

Alfred: Yes, Master Bruce?

Bruce: I'm pansexual.

Alfred: Alright.

Bruce: That's it? You must have questions.

Alfred no idea what the word pansexual means but not about to admit that: I've always had my suspicions, sir.

Bruce: Oh really? Since when?

Alfred: Since you were five years old.

Bruce: You've known for ten years? Wait, is this about the Grey Ghost? Did you figure me out because of that?

Alfred: Yes.

Bruce blushing: Okay, you're right, but it was only the animated version of him!

Alfred confused: Yes?

Bruce: Please don't tell anyone I had a crush on the Grey Ghost.

Alfred, realizing what pansexual might mean: Of course, sir. My mouth is sealed. Is there any particular reason you brought this conversation up this fine morning?

Bruce: Well... you might get a call from the Academy, and I wanted to get to you before they do.

Alfred: Hmm? What happened at the Academy?

Bruce: I may have gotten into a fight, but it was for a really good reason. A couple of blokes found out the new transfer student, Daniel Fenton, was a friend of Dorothy and tried to beat him up in the showers. I intervened.

Alfred in his mind: Who the hell is Dorothy???

Alfred out loud: Well done, Master Bruce. It's always important to stand up for those who are weaker or in less favorable situations.

Bruce: Thank you, Alfred. By the way, I think I'm in love with Daniel. He didn't need my help at all. He was scary. And pretty.

Alfred: Scary how?

Bruce dreamily: He put one of the blokes in the wall.

Alfred: ....pardon?

Bruce: He grabbed one of them. And sunk him into the wall.

Alfred, not knowing if that is another slang phrase, but not about to admit it: Well good for Mr. Fenton. I could see why such a young man would grab your attention. Do you plan on pursuing this new love?

Bruce: Yeah! Maybe he'll me in a wall *dreamy sigh*

Alfred inhis mind: So being put in a wall...is good???

No matter how many time I see this guy I’m always shocked at what he makes. I’ve never once come close to guessing the end product.
