i genuinely need people to realise that when they shift they will be the person they scripted.
when you shift you will live out those experiences and they will shape you out to be the person you are in that reality. that person is actually you
there’s nothing inherently wrong with scripting you had a specific sort of life that’s nothing like your own now. big or small chances idc but istg sm shifters make ocs instead of an actual person
but for a second think about it. is that smth you actually, genuinely, whole heartedly want for urself?
ur drself ≠ an oc
decided to edit this and add some more
why do some people talk about their drselves like it’s someone else and why do some people post stuff about them like they’re a character😭 like pookie that’s you😃😄😃 you know that right?
maybe it helps people figure out stuff ig? idk but i always talk about me like im talking about me? IDK if ur the kinds person who does this pls explain☹️ i would like a more rounded view on things pls and thxs
So, update here, believe me or not but I didn't enter, and I know why.
I kinda forced myself, which I knew was wrong, and by forced I don't mean I "said it was done and forced it to come", no, but I mean I knew had that small desperate feeling inside to enter soon, why you may ask? Well, exam seasons are stressing me the fuck out in here and I have my national ministry given exams at June, ngl that sounds scary af, either way, I didn't enter because I knew I was my block, but I'm back on my feet again and fuck no I'm not letting that small thought of mindset eat me away for what I've been doing this month, fuck no, anyways, I'm back bitches ✋🏻😔
(I knew my own block, which is that small fear of "what if I don't enter before this date?" And I had to let that go, I'm still learning y'all, but glad to know I've placed that fear away. 🌺)
Why even brother with this kinky month when you never upload on time.. your‘re not really a responsible person and people want to read recovery anyway
You do realize I’m not paid for this blog, right ? That I do it for fun and in my free time, right ? And most importantly : bloggers, fanfic writers and creative writers do not owe anyone shit 🤡.
We produce content that you guys consume for free. We do so on our free time and do not expect anything in return. We’re grateful for every single like, reblog and kind Ask but you need to realize that we don’t get much out of it. I might as well keep what I write in my notes app. At least I wouldn’t have to deal with entitled readers. 🤡
« Why even bother with this kinky month ? » because it’s a writing challenge and it’s fun. I know I’m arguably not skilled at writing smut and kinky shit so I take it as an opportunity to explore and get better. That’s why.
« You never upload on time » I do my best. There, I said it. But in case you’re wondering, I am a real person, with a real life and a real job. I have shit to do. And while I did give a schedule as an indication, you people need to understand that life gets in the way. You could have chosen to be grateful that I’ve uploaded more in the past 6 days than I have in the past month but obviously not 🤡 If you want some robot to produce content at will for you, just get a premium account on one of those AI thingies. Or better yet, commission writers.
« You’re not really a responsible person » sorry for being irresponsible for making my health, family and job a priority. How very irresponsible of me not to drive myself to burnout for a writing challenge.
« People want to read recovery anyway » well that’s too damn bad. I’ll upload the new chapter for recovery when I’m satisfied with it. Same goes for any Kinktober episode. I’d rather not upload than publish anything I hate.
I had to address this nasty comment. From someone who knew they’d better hide and stay anon, mind you. 🤡 now, if anyone wants to come at me on this fine-ass Monday morning, feel free to, but don’t be surprised if I clap back at your entitlement.
But most of all : thank you to all the people who have been ACTUALLY KIND. 🥰 That Kinktober thing and the new Eminem updates have brought tons of new people here and I’m grateful (albeit a tad nervous). I’ve received tons of encouragements and I am really thankful for this. 🥰
I honestly hate what the What’s Next Brigade did to fashion dolls aimed at tween girls. “Passion For Fashion” was supposed to mean “buy clothes that make you happy” but the What’s Next Brigade (which was combined of media, Karen-style parents, and people wanting to uphold the patriarchy) twisted it to parents that it was pushing the narrative of “buying clothes is the only thing that will make you happy”.
I loved the fact that Bratz and Monster High were originally designed wearing short skirts and crop tops and high heels because it was the first time I’d seen female characters who dressed like that presented as doing it because it made them happy, not “just to get attention from boys” or “rebelling because of bad parenting”.
“But they make girls think it’s ok to dress like that!” IT IS OK TO DRESS LIKE THAT IF DRESSING LIKE THAT MAKES YOU FUCKING HAPPY!!
“But it’s encouraging girls to be slutty!” YOU KEEP USING THAT WORD AND I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, KAREN!!
“But it’s telling girls that spending a lot of money on clothes is the only way to be happy!” I DON’T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT SHOPPING WASN’T THE ONLY THING THOSE CHARACTERS DID TO BE HAPPY. THE BRATZ PUBLISHED THEIR OWN MAGAZINE AND PLAYED IN A BAND AND RAISED MONEY FOR CHARITY. THE MONSTER HIGH GHOULS PLAYED SPORTS AND WROTE POETRY AND TOOK ART AND MUSIC CLASSES AND PROGRAMMED COMPUTERS IN BETWEEN FACING OFF WITH PREJUDICE. BARBIE WAS AN AMAZING ACTRESS WHO IN HER FREE TIME BABYSAT AND SNOWBOARDED AND BUILT ROBOTS AND BAKED CAKES AND WENT TO MEDICAL SCHOOL AND RAN A DOG-WALKING SERVICE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.
The phrase was “Passion for Fashion”, not “Passion for Fast Fashion”. Y’all looked at doll lines that encouraged girls to be happy and love themselves and dress how they wanted to, said “that won’t do!”, and presented a bunch of patriarchal arguments as feminism. In the name of protecting-the-children. Only all you’re protecting children from is thinking for themselves and forming opinions that you didn’t spoon-feed to them.
A Semi-Coherent, Not Particularly Thought Out Rant:
so, after reading @uglypastels post regarding the upcoming Enola Holmes sequel, the hamster starting wheeling. now, don't get me wrong, i watched Enola Holmes as soon as Netflix released it. the concept appealed to me, Enola as a character seemed delightful, and i particularly appreciated the aesthetics. furthermore, the movie had an all-star cast attached to it that i believed would propel Enola into an impressive orbit.
however, after watching the movie, i was mildly disappointed. even with Cavill filling out a Victorian suit in all the best ways, it didn't endear me to it. it was easy to digest; rather bland, and poorly paced, like the graham crackers of film. obviously, it was written with the intention of a sequel, so i suppose that first installment was considered the groundwork, which is why a lot of it seemed so unidimensional. rather than allowing us, as viewers, to fill in blanks through visuals, we were spoon-fed a lot of the plot via flashbacks. plus, regrettably, Enola was portrayed as something of a Mary-Sue (for those who don't know: a female lead who has more skills than a single relatable human being on the planet, even the most interesting ones. they know everything and can do no wrong).
now, i liked her. she's feisty and clever and independent. and yet, i felt a distinct lack of substance. probably because she was overshadowed by the unnecessary inclusion of Sherlock and Mycroft. there was no point to either of them except to establish that Enola was, indeed, their sister. it came across as more of a lure to guarantee viewership from diehard Sherlockians.
meanwhile, The Irregulars is slightly less palatable and offers us a Sherlock that likely doesn't agree with those same diehard Sherlockians. he's ruined, depressed, shown to be a horrible, neglectful father. he isn't at all what we've come to expect of the Great Detective.
he's a lost soul.
although the whole show is mired in shadow from the beginning, the characters? were dynamic as hell and we weren't even thrown more than mere morsels of backstory, and only for a couple of the main characters. unlike Enola Holmes, the main cast of characters spoke for themselves. needless to say, i believe the acting was far superior.
not that Millie Bobby Brown isn't a fabulous actress, she is, and she nailed the script she was given for Enola Holmes. still, i was more invested after a single episode of The Irregulars than i was after an entire movie about Enola.
all i can remember of that movie, months after watching it, is how delicious Henry Cavill looked.
what do i remember of The Irregulars? also not actually as much as you'd imagine, but JESUS the characters made an impression.
i remember Spike being this adorable, hilarious, sly character who cares deeply about his friends enough to go against his principles and break into a house he doesn't want to go near. i remember Billy being hotheaded and aggressive and protective, suspicious of the outsider who deigns to speak to them. but then he puts aside his dislike of Leo, even though he still fully believes the boy's insincere in his affections toward Bea, and he listens and sorta-kinda-in-a-dude-way comforts a guy who's technically his competition.
never mind Jessie having to tell her mother to go die again, understanding it might destroy her relationship with her sister. like Christ, my heart!! and Leo and Bea and even Watson had SO MUCH GOING ON beneath the surface, things that weren't blatantly exposed but that we, the viewers understood because these characters were given LIFE in the subtext.
all in all, i'm disappointed to hear that, of the two Sherlock spin-offs, Enola Holmes gets the go ahead while a show as fascinating and nuanced as The Irregulars is put on a shelf, probably never to be continued. unless we, the fans, decide to fund the project (if i win a huge lottery, guys, i'll do it).
