Spiral Of Happiness

I do think that the funniest way to respond to schismatics whose core complaint is that your institution is changing too quickly is to take nearly 40 years to openly declare them schismatics.

whenever people express feelings to the effect of "i'm glad soulsov isn't super popular because fandom wouldn't be able to handle it" i think, with kindness, "don't speak that on me." i have very little interest in what Fandom Can Handle and a completely unremarkable desire to make money

one might think, "well that's awfully cynical." of course making money is not my primary motivator in writing the weirdo vn that has all but consumed me over the past few years. i even considered going with "desire to see fanart of my characters," something which inspires more genuine fondness in me. it's just that whenever people talk as if the impact of lukewarm fandom discourse on my daily life could possibly outweigh the impact of 100,000 people each giving me 10 dollars, i can only roll my eyes at best. let's be honest with each other here

Everybody go give this person ten dollars.

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

i know fandom history that even I don’t care about

ARGH I am ALWAYS thinking about the irony of the hive siblings still acting so "human" even after they achieve godhood. Oryx mourns his son's death and comes to Sol, enraged and seeking revenge despite it being explicitly against the beliefs he champions. Savathun wanting to live more than anything, being so scared of death that she'd do anything to avoid it. And Xivu Arath, coming back to the site of her brother's death over and over in grief, even though by her own logic his death was completely justified. Only the strongest survive, right? But then why does she keep coming back to talk over his body? Why does she want him back so badly? What is this feeling?
