It’s time ✨w✨

It's very much almost time >:3 nyeheheh!

[offlineblues]

i'm crying because Kimeru, the writer and singer of Calling, touched upon the reasoning behind many of the lyrics today. it solidified that the song is about Yusaku and Ai's inseparable bond, that they are thankful to have met and changed each other's life for the better, and that they can create a new story for their future instead of despairing over what might be.

it's really amazing to get an official confirmation of how much Yusaku and Ai came to cherish to one another... that even down to their heart and non-heart, they are connected deeply now. our bond is invisible, but it is strong...

[tarashima]

It was not in my plans to cry today, yet here we are.

Mind your "yeah, but"s. Don't unnecessarily crush someone with negativity when they're excited about something or trying to be positive.

Someone in your friend group is REALLY excited that a popular artist just release a new song or album? Now's not the time to crush them by telling them how much you think that artist is overrated and that anyone who listens to them just doesn't know any real music. They're not hurting anyone, why make them feel bad or dumb just for being happy and excited?

Your co-worker tries to share something positive they read in the news, such whatever country you live in now has lower rates of alcoholism, or more trees than ever were planted last year in re-forestation efforts? Ask if yourself if it's necessary to "yeah, but" their positive news with a spin on making it negative. Is that helping at all or serving any purpose? In a lot of cases it's not helpful or necessary.

What do you really have to gain from crushing someone's excitement or attempts at being positive? Ask yourself what your real intentions are. Ask yourself if you actually have anything worthwhile to gain outside of crushing someone who was excited or trying to be positive.

And in the future, be more considerate of people who are excited about something harmless, or trying to be positive. You never know what inner pain or turmoil they could have in their personal life that they haven't shared with you, which they're just trying to get through with excitement and positivity. Consider being more supportive of their excitement or attempts at positivity in the future.

An invaluable skill I learned from the book How to Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So Kids Will Talk (the single greatest relationship/communication book I've ever read, BTW) is to respond with a "you" statement in situations like this.

Basically, if someone is all fired up about something that you don't care about, don't understand, actively dislike, whatever, you can still be considerate and just make a fairly neutral observation like "you really love _____" or "you must be so excited about _____" instead of dumping on their mood with your own negative opinions.

If I kin nightowl what does that say about me…..asking for another Leo rising. Definitely not me.

If you kin nightowl, you probably:

Have mommy/daddy issues

Cope with issues in really unhealthy ways (substance abuse, sleep deprivation, binge watching/gaming)

Are flirtatious as a joke but don't know what to do when someone flirts back

Have growing to do

Get defensive easily at any minor confrontation

Cry when you argue

Are a completely different person alone than when you're with friends

Are used to being taken advantage of

Still hope you are loveable but don't entirely believe it

Are competitive

Are seen as an older sibling type of friend by younger people

Are in school

Become easily overtaken by hyperfixations

I’m a bit worried about pro shippers because some say fiction doesn’t effect reality but it does and some pro shippers ship things like adult x child and sibling x sibling and other things I’m not anti censorship but some things shouldn’t be normalized

I promise you if game of thrones and all those gothic literature haven't normalized incest — if slasher and horror movies haven't normalized murders or psychological torture, if hot villains haven't normalized manipulation or toxicity by now — then silly fanfiction isn't going to normalize shit.

if someone ever lets fiction affect them enough to the point they think bad things in fiction are good in-real-life because they're portrayed as such, then chances are that, with or without the fiction they consume, they are already troubled and they need help.

there are things you can worry about that are actually worrisome, but what type of fanfiction someone writes or reads is not one of those things.

you can, of course, find some things in fiction unpleasant. you can choose not to engage with fanfics that make you uncomfortable. but you have no right to tell other people what they can or can't create and/or consume. that is not your business.

and to my fellow writers, write whatever you want, however you want. no matter how messed up or morally questionable it is. you have all the freedom and power to write whatever you want, however you want forever. don't let strangers tell you what you can or cannot write.

he's beautiful i literally need to put him under extreme psychological stress. i need to put him in extreme physical pain. i need him curling up in someone's arms for the feelings of safety and comfort he hasn't received in ages

To celebrate the anniversary of DSoD, I'm happy to announce that my old puzzleship comic, Future of Yesterday, will return on 4th June, Yuugi's birthday!

The whole comic is being redrawn, with most of it staying the same, but with an updated art-style, some layout changes, slightly better grammar, and altered headcanons.

On an important note, the comic won't get posted here on tumblr or deviantart. I'm letting you guys know at a later date, but know that a fitting solution exists.

I welcome both old and new readers ♥♥♥

See you all in June!

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!

[bauliya]

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

[cake-writes]

[divinesong]

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

[bauliya]

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who’s the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn’t a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don’t read stuff you don’t want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.

[randomslasher]

The three keys to the promised land are “Block, Unfollow, and Do Not Engage”
