“Am I in the Bad Place?”
“Well... yes.”
emberquill reblogged
feel the need to say this tonight but you’re still a real writer even if you never finish your projects, if you only write for fun, if you change WIPs every week or only ever have one that you work on. the simple act of putting words on paper, of having an idea and fleshing it out to whatever extent is fun for YOU is what makes you a writer.
I needed to see this. Sometimes I feel like I’m not much of a writer at all, for many of these exact reasons. I keep starting projects without finishing any of them. The only fic I’ve posted online in the last six years is a 140-word drabble I wrote last year that was supposed to be the first of several but ended up being the only one.
This is actually motivating me to try to get back into writing again. Maybe it’ll work this time.

*prepares to be lynched by the entire Fate/Stay Night fandom*
So… I haven’t seen Fate/Stay Night. Or Unlimited Blade Works. Or Fate/Zero. In fact, the only Fate/anything that I’ve seen is:
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya.
*flees*
It’s been over five years since I originally posted this and I would like to inform everyone that I have indeed now watched UBW, Zero, and Heaven’s Feel and have even started playing the original VN. I’ve fallen head-first down the rabbit hole of Type-Moon’s extensive lore.

The most annoying thing in the world as an ace person is when you’re reading a book/watching a series or movie/getting invested in some kind of story, and you’re really enjoying it, but then suddenly “We Interrupt Your Story-Consuming Experience With a Random Sex Scene Literally Nobody Asked For!” and you just sit there like why
I’m not even ace and I still find it annoying because it’s still usually “We interrupt your story-consuming experience for this sex scene” instead of “Your story-consuming experience will continue with this sex scene that had proper buildup and serves a narrative purpose.”
Like, yay, it’s sexy. As a pansexual person I appreciate it aesthetically. But it still usually comes out of nowhere and serves no narrative purpose and the story would flow better without it.
So... I’m back.
I missed this site. I posted a long goodbye rant during the big tumblrpocalypse of December 2018 and left to look for greener pastures.
I never really found any. Twitter is too corporate and political and I can’t follow anybody without having tons of news, current events, politics, controversy, and sponsored posts shoved in my face. Facebook is even worse. Reddit is alright but doesn’t have the same kind of community. None of the various Tumblr clones that popped up in 2019 really took off.
So here I am again, I guess. Hello to my... 96 followers? Honestly I expected maybe 10 at most lol. Uh, sorry to bother you, and if you don’t want to get inundated with queer fandom reblogs you might want to unfollow me soonish.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
A rant. About the thing we’re all ranting about.
So by now everyone probably knows about what’s happening on December 17th. Mostly because you can see the official notice at the top of your Dashboard now if you missed everything else that was going on. As much as I want to be angry about it, I’m mostly just resigned. I’ve seen it happen before and I’ll probably see it happen again to other sites. First, the machine-banning with an intolerably high rate of false positives, then new community guidelines that are so frustratingly vague that you cannot even determine whether your content is violating them or not, anger, vitriol, and in the end, a much less vibrant and unique community that no longer holds my interest. No apologies from the owners, no attempts at remediation at all.
I’ve... always had issues with the community of tumblr and how its users often fail to be as inclusive as they claim they are, but I still met some great friends on this platform, connected with content creators on a more personal level than I ever would have anticipated, and stumbled across a lot of really cool things, from art to photography to stories to funny anecdotes to new shows/movies/books/etc... I’ve discovered entire communities of people who share my interests. I’ve stumbled into discovering more about myself too. I stumbled across a webcomic with nonbinary characters and that is how I determined myself to be genderfluid. I may have stumbled across a few new fetishes too, but nobody’s perfect.
Meanwhile, people have been complaining for years about the porn spamming bots, the hate speech, the downright illegal content such as CP, and yet they did nothing. Instead they waited until Apple finally took notice, realized that they had allowed the mess to grow far beyond their ability to control, and now they’re taking drastic measures that could have been avoided if they’d actually paid any attention to their user base.
The saddest thing is, this change means that a lot of the content that shaped my perception of myself is no longer allowed on this platform. That webcomic which taught me about genderfluidity might not be allowed due to its suggestive themes. The personal anecdotes that allowed me to come to terms with my bisexuality might be blocked due to being too “adult” for this site. The creators whose content I enjoyed might find greener pastures, even if none of their work violates the new community guidelines at all.
I fall into that last group of people, myself. I know I rarely post any more (other than occasional reblogs), my writing has basically stalled out for years, and I probably have few, if any, followers paying attention to me at all, but I still feel like I need to make my displeasure known to the people who operate this site, not to mention the fact that their process for banning still has too many false positives based on what I’ve been hearing. I don’t want to risk suddenly losing everything because I used the wrong swear word or reblogged the wrong post. So on the same day their new community guidelines go into place, I’m leaving and deleting every post prior except this one, leaving it as a final “farewell” of sorts.
I’m backing everything up first, of course. I’m not that vindictive. 98% of my work is posted elsewhere (on FanFiction.Net or AO3), and the remainder is just small drabbles and one-off scenes that will undoubtedly find their way over to AO3 soon.
I want to reiterate that I’m not leaving because my own content will be banned, or at least I don’t think I have any bannable content here. I’m leaving because I don’t think where things are going, I vehemently disagree with the decision to ban NSFW content, and I refuse to support such a decision when it is made with such short notice and with no recourse or debate.
I’m also tired and running on almost no sleep right now so I’m sorry if this stream of consciousness sounds like the ramblings of a sleep-deprived person, because they very much are exactly that.
EDIT: I ended up not deleting prior posts but I’m definitely way less active now (almost to the point of being completely inactive). I decided that deleting stuff was kind of a knee-jerk reaction, especially since I don’t want to start erasing my stuff from the internet. I don’t have a personal blog outside of tumblr so I don’t have anywhere to repost any of this. If I ever do move fully to another platform, I’ll reconsider it.

WHAT EVER YOU DO
DO NOT think of Obi Wan knowing that something is awfully wrong while he’s on Utapau, hours before Order 66
DO NOT think of Obi Wan walking into the Temple, seeing padawans, younglings (practically babies) with lightsaber wounds and the feeling of wrongness growing because it couldn’t be, Anakin wouldn’t
DO NOT think about Obi Wan Kenobi trying to hold himself together in front of Yoda, and trying to be the stoic Jedi Master he’s supposed to be as a security recording rips his heart out of his chest
DO NOT think of him tossing years of control and obedience to the wind, and saying how he would rather be dead than face what has happened, and refusing to kill Anakin, even after everything
DO NOT think of Yoda, Padme and even Vader being so sure that Obi Wan is going to kill him and Obi Wan knowing deep down that he can’t do it
DO NOT think about Obi Wan having the chance to end Vader and instead (collected, in-control Obi Wan) screaming out his betrayal
DO NOT think about Obi Wan only being able to respond to Vader’s hate with an “I loved you’
DO NOT think about how Obi Wan’s use of the past tense is a lie, and how Obi Wan Kenobi will always love Anakin Skywalker, long after the end
DO NOT think about how after everything, when he starts to burn Darth Vader still reaches out to Obi Wan Kenobi for help, and effort it took Obi Wan to turn away
DO NOT think about Obi Wan stumbling away with tears in his eyes as the person he loves most in the galaxy burns
DO NOT think about how years later, Obi Wan is still physically, emotionally, or spiritually able to kill Darth Vader
DO NOT
I’m on a Star Wars kick because I made the mistake of reading some TCW fanfics and I just argh this hurts. Everything hurts.

Aight y’all, I’m back in, I’m reinstalling swtor. Hopefully I can remember my account, if not I’ll just make a new one.
So I guess hit me with which class stories are worth playing. I’ve done Sith Warrior, and most of Bounty Hunter.
Also I don’t have any of the expansions, so I won’t be able to do any of that stuff. F2p be like that.
Imperial Agent is my absolute favorite class storyline, closely followed by Sith Inquisitor. They’re both fantastic. On the Republic side, I liked the Jedi Knight and Smuggler, but not nearly as much as the Agent or Inquisitor.
Subscribers get all of the expansions for free, and get to keep them even if the sub is cancelled. So if you decide later that you want to play more, just sub for one month and you permanently unlock all four currently-released expansions. Not a bad deal, overall.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are officially the cutest fuckin’ girlfriends to ever exist
mystic-dragon-witchling
So harely is out of that joker abusuce relationship?
Sweet
Yeah, he tried to kill her, she tried to kill him, he left her for dead, she left him for good. It was a whole big thing. That was back in 2013 I think? She hasn’t gone back since then, so it seems like it’s done for good.
If you like Harley Quinn, you should really check out her solo series. It’s fantastic.

The bisexual stereotype is true. I am bi and I can’t decide anything. I have never made a decision in my life.
I'm not just bi, but also genderfluid. I can't decide anything, not even my own gender.
