But Thats Not The Point - Tumblr Posts
So let me get this straight,
If i become the president of juicy couture i get to be Ayesha Eroticas wife?
Projecting onto your kinns is fun and cool etc but I need to stop projecting a certain feeling onto This One Character because he wouldn't handle it very well. But I'm too used to thinking we're almost the same person (which isn't true for like... 3 years now? If it ever was) so I constantly assume we'd react the same way to some things. But in reality, what I find uncomfortable, would actually be better for him. And something I'm fine with might upset him. But when I'm thinking of post-canon or reading fanfics, I project so hard I forget about that

It's so weird writing fanfiction now.
Comments are like unicorns. So rare.
It's a bit disheartening since you can't even get feedback and I don't know if I did okay or not. And I know I got clicks, too since I do get kudos at the very least. But comments hit different, because they can uplift an author the same way a fic lets a reader's imagination soar.

october writing prompt #19 - tears
-
character: kalim al-asim, twisted wonderland
contains: yandere themes, reader referred to in second person pov, gender neutral reader
Tears came easy to Kalim. Not as easy as joy, sure, but it wasn't like it was hard to make him cry.
That didn't mean that he quite understood why he was crying now, though.
He had been looking for you but moments ago, but now, seeing what he had - he knew that wasn't a good idea. He wasn't sure if he would be able to face you and the one you were with again anytime soon. Which was a shame because... he really liked you.
Maybe he hadn't realized exactly how much before now.
But... seeing you with them, affectionately exchanging sweet nothings with pet names tacked on, it... woke something up in him.
Something that burned even as tears ran down his face, and as he flusteredly tried to wipe them away with little success. Something that gnawed at the butterflies in his stomach and swallowed the lump in his throat.
If they were in the way now, he'd just have to fix that, right? How hard could it possibly be?
Kalim would do anything for you. Be anything for you. He just had to make you see that.

A few months ago I remembered a post on here that I read that was about a hero going around killing the villain’s henchmen and not caring that they're actual people when the villain does.
So I decided to write a story about it and make it ✨angsty✨ where the villain had to do a lot of damage control after the massacre of their henchmen. Which included helping find new good homes for their now orphaned kids. Sadly a lot of them didn't have anywhere to go, so the villain adopted them all themself.
This then progressed into the kids taking over and becoming villains after their parent is killed by the hero. (also two kids being killed by the hero but that's not as important)
anyway, ive been contemplating if I should share it here cause I enjoy it a lot and I feel like others would too. but idk.
who knows i may decide to share it anyway, idk
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!
Long SOOP rant. Fuck Hybe.
When they renovated those three mansions,I though,ok,they will clearly rent the space later. Which was obviously better than letting them sit there unused. Win-win,both for the fans who get a new Soop season,and whoever owns those houses.
When BTS almost only wore clothes with the Soop designs,instead of their own outfits,it felt weird,but those pajamas were cute so whatever. When some of the cooking and eating scenes reminded me more of those Run eps which were a Paradise Hotel ad,I was like,whatever,if still feels nice to watch them eat.
When they were mostly shown spending time inside their own rooms,(with a lot of PPL in the background),or using the kitchen(full of luxurious appliances),I said well,it was just because they wanted to be genuine and show how they really spend their time when they are alone(ok that might still be true). When they seemed a lot less enthusiastic to be there compared to the first season,I thought it was only because they were about to drop PTD then and had too much on their plate.
When scenes were cut and the editing was a mess,and it didn't feel like there was that much interest to tell a coherent story this time,some people thought it was because it was being shown on JTBC and BTS usual chaotic interactions and drunk shenanigans were too much for cable TV,and it made sense,so I believed that. Well,that one could still be true.
When from the start the whole thing felt like a giant promotion of that space,with BTS not fully invested in being there,I should have taken everything at face value.
I found out that that recently there was a tour for a few lucky Armys in the Soop filming location.

So,the place looks like this now:
( I hope posting these is allowed. If not let me know)
BigHit was always good at milking stories from reality. At turning what could have been boring moments into scenes to be remembered. But,lately they are not even allowing real moments to happen naturally. The story is there even before the action happened....
Nice,right? So much thought into this. But it was a 4-day trip only. Does it deserve this level of romanticizing?
Cute cute cute. The person who designed soopy and those who made the merch are so good at their job. I really want all of this now. But that’s the problem...
Maybe my reaction is too harsh,but when I saw this,what I first felt was not excitement or fondness,which are my usual BTS-related emotions,but discomfort. All those ~nostalgic~ photos strewn everywhere of ~healing memories~ that never even felt like that when watching the show,just make me feel used. Do you think they’ll remove those when they later rent the mansions? I doubt it.
You can say,but what about the ahjumma who turned the restaurant where BTS used to eat into a shrine? Well,good for her. Because they actually did use to eat there. She just capitalized on it. But this is different,because the place was meant to be shown on tours from the beginning. So the Soop lost half of genuineness even before it happened.
Yes it's a reality show,so it's already a collection of personal moments being sold and transformed into a narrative by the editors and showrunners. But the balance was different until now. Maybe that was all fake too,but in the first season at least,the image being pushed by the company didn't seem to be that different from the story BTS told about the time they spent there. They genuinely looked like they were relaxed and enjoying being with each other,so adding labels like 'healing' over the whole thing didn't seem disingenuous.
Basically,now they just needed to get BTS' to bless the house with their presence so they can sell the bathwater later. Jungkook slept in this bed! Yoongi played guitar on this chair! Namjoon read this book on this same couch! Don't you want to breathe the air BTS farted in? Now you can!
Product placement is a thing. BTS advertising too many things these days is also a thing. But,so far,in all their reality and travel shows,you could see that BTS at least got some enjoyment out of being there,or that their experiences were the main product being sold. Here,it was not even about BTS. They were props to this huge ad for an ugly house no one fucking needs to stay in.
It's especially feels like a betrayal that they took a show that brought people so much genuine joy,and turned it into just a 5 episode-long ad.
Okay my Spotify wrapped is here……
Okay, I didn’t think I listened to bts that much this year, but I was proved wrong.

Danny has always been a menace but I think it would have been funny to see him flip someone off just ONE time, as a treat (he's earned it)
how dare you hide this in the tags @neproxrezi
Me, playing Dawnguard: what’s a cliff racer? Why would you canonize someone for killing them? No one is canonizing the dragonborn but cliff racers can’t possibly be as bad as dragons.
Me, playing Morrowind, dropping to my knees in prayer amidst a cyclone of sixteen squawking cliff racers swarming me for daring to walk a whole 20 feet towards my next quest objective: O Glorious Saint Jiub, who slew the winged menace…
No Man’s Sky
or: You Can’t Save The World, And That’s Fine
i fucking love this game. i love how unique its story and theme is relative to almost all other major games. its fundamental purpose is to gently instill in the player the impermanence and insignificance of everything.
let’s talk about the ATLAS.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
it is so easy to misconstrue the ATLAS as malevolent. after all, its Sentinels are hostile to those who transgress upon the sanctity and purity of creation - by necessity, the player. but later we learn that this is a self defense mechanism. the universe is the ATLAS, and the ATLAS is dying. and like any of us would be… the ATLAS is terrified. its internal hostility is a desperate bid to save itself from being terminated. to fix itself.
so what is the player meant to do?
you cannot fight the ATLAS. nobody can. the ATLAS is literally God in every theological sense. you can’t fight AI-God – just ask TELAMON, they tried. the ATLAS cannot be harmed by any action of the player.
but there is also nothing you can do to help the ATLAS. not even all the Travellers in the game can fix the ATLAS; its composition is far beyond your comprehension. the ATLAS cannot be saved by any action of the player.
the moral of the Atlas Path is acceptance: of mortality, of impermanence, of insignificance. everything ends, and that’s okay. enjoy it while it lasts. you cannot save the universe, but you can experience it for as long as you live.
most other games carry the central theme of “you can save the world!” and yet, NMS presents you with a universe where the reply to that typical attitude is an unequivocal “no, you can’t.”
it’s not your burden. it’s not your duty. it’s not your purpose. you can’t save the world. all you can do is enjoy it while it lasts, and understand that this is enough.
He’s so pretty here
