Scarlett Story

A Blog for me the shows various stages of what I like from Music, Food, TV and just overall rambling

[masset-fotia-deactivated2023061]

“Just put the gun down, and we can talk about this. You shoot her, and you get nothing but a life sentence in a high-security prison.”

“I told you what I want. If you don’t have a car in the next fifteen minutes, I’ll shoot her.”

Based on the way the man paced in front of you, your colleague wasn’t getting anywhere. You could tell the man was beyond help. If you didn’t get out of there soon, you were dead. 

But the kidnapper didn’t count on the New York FBI Field Office finding a way inside the bank. One moment he was “in control” of the situation, and the next Maggie Bell had him on the ground in handcuffs. 

You were spirited outside to a waiting ambulance to check for any injuries. OA, who had carried you out of the bank, didn’t relax, even after the paramedics confirmed that all you had was a few bruises.

It took a long reassuring talk and some good burritos before OA had calmed down from seeing you held at gunpoint. 

Honestly, it took you a few days to stop drooling at the memory of OA bursting through the bank door.

[ghoulaug]

Hey do you have any comic recs for people just getting into the batfam. Tim's stuff would be nice

Oh man there are so many places to start! And I can really only specify with Tim, because there are so many directions you can go with the Batfam Tim’s story starts in Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying, but he also appears after that in a few issues as he starts his training in becming Batman’s third Robin

Batman #455

Batman #456

Batman #457

Detective Comics #618

Detective Comics #619

Detective Comics #620

Detective Comics #621

Not to mention his entire Robin (1991) run was so so so good!

Additionally, Young Justice (1998) and Teen TItans (2003) have some good Tim content!! Aaaahhh theres so much more but there are also so many other guides for reading Tim and the Batfam, but I hope I was able to give you a nice place to start for Tim!!

[ghoulaug]

In response to more people coming to me about wanting to start reading Tim, here’s a more in depth list and reading timeline for him that I compiled not to long ago! It’s mostly pre-New52, and doesn’t have anything from Rebirth yet, but I hope it helps! Also, feel free to let me know if there are any mistakes in the document :) Available Here!

✨ Tfw your brother finally comes home from Murder Island and you need to check on him every 30 minutes to make sure he hasn’t left ✨

[broosepayne]

Alfred in the living room, watching a soap opera: Bloody hell Lindsay, just break up with him.

Alfred: Raul wasn’t dead. I knew it.

Alfred: Ricky stabbed Rosa! Bastard!

Alfred: Rosa and Paul are having an affair.

Damian: tt. Why do you insist on watching such overdramatic, overwritten nonsense?

Alfred flashes back to the following:

-Jason yelling at Bruce using entirely Shakespearean dialogue

-Dick rocking up in his Discowing costume because “It’s the vibe I want to give off.”

-Tim locking himself inside the panic room because he said something awkward in front of his boyfriend

-Steph slapping Bruce again

-Duke sucking all the light out of the room because “Feeling kinda emo today you guys”

-Cass throwing Jason out a window for eating her almond butter (“I thought it was Bruce’s!”)

-Damian dropping down off a chandelier and wrestling Tim into a headlock

-Bruce crouching on the roof like a gargoyle and insisting he’s “made of stone now” because he and Clark got into a minor argument.

Alfred:

Alfred: I find soap operas quite calming and predictable, Damian.

Monsters and Mudbloods by | s l y t h e r i n d o l l

Draco wasn’t going to be satisfied until she wore his ring and his name…

Dumbledore’s death was just the beginning. Months spent on the run brought no solace and even though she gave it her all, the heart wants what it wants. She can fight tooth and nail, she can run, and she can hide, but a Malfoy always wins.

Reblog if you're shipping Sasusaku.

What makes sasusaku more than just an anime/manga pairing are its fans and shippers. Shippers who write the most mind blowing fanfiction and the most awe-inspiring fanart. Shippers who put logic to ridiculous anti-hate and advertise shipping freedom. Shippers who, despite the two being imaginary, fictional characters made them feel alive and real through cosplay. Shippers who understood the depth of the relationship between Sasuke and Sakura. And finally, shippers who gave love and still love giving love to Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura. Because we are one of the things that make them “something more.”

[midfreakquency]

Can we get a name???

[ororium-z]

This is Chinese artist, Luo Li Rong

Here’s a snippet about her from this article (that also features more photographs of her work, including this sculpture):

Rong has pursued sculpting since an early age. She studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, then under the tutelage of sculptor Wang Du, and later she “immersed herself” in figurative sculpture techniques used by European artists in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Their sense of femininity plays a defining role in Rong’s contemporary works, and the stylistic guidelines help carry on the tradition of realistic sculptures in art.

Anonimus opinion: you're great person! And btw,everyone in naruto fandom talk about some "SP" ...what sp present?

Awh! Thank you, anon ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

SP is the abbreviation for Studio Pierrot who is a Japanese animating studio and they are the ones who animate Naruto.

Many fans dislike the studio because a lot of their work is at a very low standard. Here are a few examples:

That doesn’t mean that they can’t do good animation. They are actually capable of outstanding animation. But, they like to spread their budget around and put money on more important parts of the story. Another element is their favouritism with certain characters. This leads me onto my second point of why people dislike SP so much.

To put it simply, they absolutely adore Hinata but they don’t like Sakura. Some people say it’s due to their characters, some say it’s because of their chest sizes or just simply because of their popularity amongst fans. You can read this short analysis which shows how much effort was put into one short scene where Hinata was confessing compared to other episodes.

I’d just like to add my own two cents into this from recent episodes. So, I’m sure you know that the last few episodes of Naruto Shippuden were filler episodes about Naruto’s and Hinata’s wedding. This is what the first few episodes consisted of:

You get the point. Now, as soon as Hinata shows up in the episode, she gets all the spotlight.

You can see just how much effort was put into animating her. Her hair, eyes, clothes and even lighting has so much precise detail. SP is basically pushing it all out just for her. Whereas Sakura is made to look like this:

In one episode they even made Sakura and Ino fight over who is more womanly and Ino used the argument that Sakura has a small chest so she is obviously less feminine. This just shows how sexist the studio is. In their view, big boobs = more womanly. And that is the main reason why Hinata gets the spotlight and why she ended up with Naruto.

In The Last, the animation is probably at it’s best and it’s pretty obvious why. Because the movie is Hinata-centred. It’s so obvious how much time and effort they put into that movie just to show-off Hinata and obviously make her look better. They even put her in an outfit which showcased her boobs even more (proving further how sexist SP is).

Even in the new Boruto series, Hinata is getting so much unnecessary screen time (even more than Naruto himself). 

I’ll just leave these here:

the cringe

Me: *reading old fanfics i used to love*

Me: Wow. I was fucking trash.

[abellum-blog]

ok y’all i’m posting this because i’m Desperate and i need y’all to help me

about ten years ago i read a sesskag fanfic that Changed My Life and got me through some p hard times. my dad was incredibly domineering and only allowed me to be on the computer for an hour a day, with monitored internet, so i couldn’t go on most social media sites. i found a loophole, read a lot of fanfiction, and when my time was up each day, i printed out multiple chapters of this particular fanfic to keep reading upstairs. unfortunately, now that i’m trying to find it again, i can’t find any trace of it.

here’s what i know:

it’s long. way over 100k words long

it was published on ff.n

it has at least 20 chapters

it was COMPLETE by the summer of 2008

sesshoumaru loses his memory (???) and kagome finds him and helps him out

they’re hunted by other demons? or sesshoumaru has kagome watched in modern japan to make sure she’s ok?

the last chapter is set in the modern day, wherein kagome rides a tram and meets up w sesshoumaru after a long time (???) and they go back to her (or his???) apartment and have Sex

rin is in it and at some point kagome visits sesshoumaru’s Kingdom

Please Help

Writing is a process that often undergoes heavy edits… that includes responding to feedback. 

[tomfooleryprime]

I had no idea this post would resonate with so many people. I let my vitriol surrounding several comments I received on a recent update get to me and it spilled out into .gif form and it’s now morphed into the most widely shared thing I’ve ever posted. So many comments and tags have said things along the lines of, “This was why I quit writing” or “This is why I hate writing fanfic.” And that’s soul crushing to hear, but I can relate. 

But while there are some crappy and entitled readers, there are also many brilliant ones and I’m so grateful for them. The huge response to this post made me go back and skim through the comments on my old stories, and comments like the one below are about half the reason some of those stories got finished, even if it was months later. 

Comments like these are so rare, but when they do come up, they leave me staring at my computer screen, drumming my fingers on the keyboard, struggling to convey my feelings about how their words have touched my heart. These are the comments that take the longest amount of time to respond to and the ones that cause me to wear out my backspace key the fastest. 

It’s easy to complain, but it’s literally just as easy to praise, so I just wanted to take a moment to recognize all those dear and dedicated readers who have propped me up when I wanted to quit. Readers like you are why I keep writing, and why I even feel honored to do it on rare occasion. 

And fellow writers, keep your heads up if you can. :)
