I have a chest in camp & invisible hats & a party of 4+mabari tho!

forgefaerie replied to your post: SMDH those Beyond Burgers are too damn good

still prefer beyond meat, though that’s probably cause my body can’t handle soy. just wish mock meats weren’t so damn expensive…

Yeah the whole Beyond line is just SO GOOD. They thought of nearly everything, including warning about some products with peas, which may cross-react as peanuts for people who are super sensitive to peanuts. No gluten, no soy, no animal products, no nuts. Nada. And it tastes so much like meat (from my memory at least)

I’ve lost count at this point how many times I have said to some dude claiming that women almost never play multiplayer games that if he hasn’t met a lot of women, its because they are hiding. likely from him or others like him. I’ve been playing MMO’s for something like a decade now. I always end up meeting a TON of women. I’ve had pugs where without even planning I would end up in mostly female group. maybe if some douchebags would stop douchbagging…

Huh. I've got to say I've never been able to pinpoint why Jace and Izzy don't feel queerto me o the show -- at all -- but I think this is it. There's so much unthinking straight privilege there in the way they react to Alec (not in a terrible way, just they're still such dumb kids) that I can't really believe they're not straight. Huh.

Yeah. Like. I enjoy them as queer in fic, but I am honestly glad the show didn’t try to navigate that, because there’s no way they could have given them the space and time to do it justice, especially as an actual self-discovery arc in contrast to Alec’s self-aware closet.

he might be in "visual novels are not real games" stage. so basicaly anything that has combat. if its indi - even better

yeah, apparently Stardew Valley didn’t count either? 😅

...I...

that is exactly what my face did,  yes

enjoyably enough, that was also what Thing 1′s face did, so at least I only lost track with one of them? 🤷‍♀️😉🤣

What’s in the stack? I fully support the need to rise to this challenge. And then lazily say how you don’t even like video games. ��

there are so many things in the stack, I’ve been neglecting it for awhile, apparently 

awwww, yeah, what a lovely collection of darlings (disasters)

Can I dying whale noises this because I need more of it?!?

ALWAYS 

I mean, I have no idea when/if I’ll manage more of it, but you’re more than welcome to see the doc <3

@glorious-spoon  mentioned you in a post “last line(s) meme”

This is gorgeous! I am definitely looking forward to more

Also hilarious tho, because I also have a supposed-to-be-angsty-one-shot-amnesia-fic that keeps growing and taking over my brain 😅

(side note: your url has repeatedly caused an echoing Tick voice shouting “spoon!” to show up in my head; it’s kind of awesome, that hasn’t happened to me in a while. Though I eternally attempt to make ninja hedge jokes that no one ever gets... *snorts*)

@pearwaldorf reblogged your post and added:

My friend thingswithwings wrote a huge post about...

I’m conflicted. 

Because I have gone into something that didn’t look like something I’d normally like (usually because I like the author/artist, occasionally via a rec) and really enjoyed it and wanted to tell them that in a way to emphasize that they had done something really well, or had put a different spin on a trope I don’t usually find terribly engaging, that kind of thing, and I feel like they should be commended for that skill, or for overcoming my previous expectations, because I feel like that is of note. You are really good at this thing you created! 

But then I’ve also received comments that look/feel so judgmental, that are distancing, just like you said, and I’m never sure if the person giving them knows that or not? Especially on smut, thingswithwings has an excellent point there. People get super weird about sex in fiction. Even if it’s not kinky. (Also, gosh, I have such a fandom crush on tww, so articulate and also they make such pretty things) Like, I write a lot of smut? I am happy to talk about NSFW headcanons, I think it can be an important part of a characterization, and yet half the time I get an ask on a subject I have previously been more than happy to talk about and I go ew because the tone is just off, but it’s so hard to EXPLAIN WHY.

/you are trying to talk about this thing I like, but you’re doing it wrong is never a helpful answer

forgefaerie replied to your post “vellesian replied to your post: I have gotten a...”

I'm not really good with words so I apologize if anything I say comes across in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, becasue that is not an intention at all. I have commented on rare pairings you have written before and its meant as a compliment each and every time. its not that you are doing it wrong, on the contrary, you are doing it so right, that with your writing you actualy fix what made me dislike or not consider something in a first place. your

gosh darn it, fat fingers. your writing basically gets me to reconsider and reevaluate.

you have never made me feel uncomfortable, and that sort of response, that oh I like what you made me think about, is part of why I am, as previously mentioned, kind of conflicted about my reaction to I don’t usually like this, but comments. Because it can be really hard to explain to someone why one of them seems like a compliment and the next one comes across like an insult.

girlpower8900 replied to your post “vellesian replied to your post: I have gotten a...”

I agree with you. Whenever i read something im not usually sure about and love it i immediately shower the author with compliments at the end. Like "hey this isn't usually my style but i gave it a shot cause i love this pairing and your writing and WOW ITS SO GOOD". And thats how it should be - if you read something outside your usual pairing or fandom or genre have a GOOD reason and be super positive and upfront about what drew you in.

And we’re back to yes, that is clearly a compliment! 

I remember this story too, and it's so sad, but also so real in the way that they lose touch with each other because of responsibilities and don't know how to get back. I loved how truthful it was.

awww, thank you (You are good at the delicate desolation of things Not Working in your stories too, btw. Always honest.)

thedivinemissema replied to your post “I specifically remember a fic of yours where your Hawke said to...”

I'm pretty sure this was the first story of yours I'd read and that line absolutely made me LOL.

There’s a reason I like Joker in ME so much. I am a gigantic and vaguely inappropriate dork. BUT I’M AMUSED, SO WHATEVER. ;) 

lynne-monstr replied to your post “you know I’ve read a few Leverage crossovers with...”

I think I vaguely remember reading something back in the day where hardison and willow were online hacker friends

aw yeah, that sounds perfect

lynne-monstr replied to your post “you know I’ve read a few Leverage crossovers with...”

omg yes!! if you ever wrote it I would read the hell out of that and scream in happiness while doing it

I shall keep that in mind! If you see anyone else doing it, throw it at me so I can yell too, k?

michellemisfit replied to your post “I’ve been kind of… not all there lately, I guess? So apologies for...”

I’m sorry you’ve been feeling like everything is difficult. Because tumblr is stupid, I don’t know when exactly this was posted, so unsure if the ‘tomorrow’ you refer to has already come around, or passed. But all you can do is ‘try again tomorrow’ until you succeed ::hugs::

oh gosh, one of the reasons I love xkit: TIMESTAMPS 

but yes, thank you. we are at two tomorrows now, and I may not be managing to be more productive, but I do feel better than I did on Thurs, so that’s certainly something <3

intezaarlily replied to your post “I’ve been kind of… not all there lately, I guess? So apologies for...”

'have to eat something to take medicine' is totally a valid reason to eat, and oatmeal-raisin cooks are a great breakfast option at all times. I'm sorry you've been feeling so down though! Sending you good vibes and I hope it gets better soon <3

lynne-monstr replied to your post “I’ve been kind of… not all there lately, I guess? So apologies for...”

oatmeal is practically health food so that counts as a healthy breakfast right?? right! also sorry to hear you've been feeling blah. sending good thoughts your way to help turn it around! (and yes uteruses suck lol)

THANK YOU BOTH AND YAY FOR COOKIES :D

forgefaerie replied to your post “you know there are a few mutuals & people who follow me who like...”

hey listen, I still haven't gotten around to watching shadowhunters, but I have read every.. single.. one .... of your fics, as well as the fics you have reblogged, because.... well I appreciate a quality fic, is all :D

AHAHGAWEKLHEAKH

thank you darling, ilu, that is just, the NICEST THING TO SEE 

Aw man, I was hoping one of the spooky forest fae would be an option!

Oh my gosh thank you! This looks so cool ;;

fordeliriumwasoncedelight replied to your link “Weyrwood”

I’m playing the demo now and already am at a ball

Just like @teaandinanity I bought the thing, and it continues to be delightful, even without an ability to romance a Weyr. (To be fair, though, the romance I did do was rather an overview of a romance than anything with any depth, so I may just have to enjoy the setting & characters in this one more than the relationships? Which means a Weyr romance in my head is totally possible.)

janoda replied to your post “Top Five: Fanfic Ideas You Wanna Write Most (Regardless of Length)”

Peeeeeeersuasion... but also I am eying that spite fic like whoa

Well, honestly, Persuasion would be the top of the list and also a top five all on its own so I kind of. Skipped it?

But yes, the spite fic is fun, I should try and get back to it. Someday. Somehow. *argh*I am the worst at writing*HOW DO?*

twistedsinews replied to your post “Top Five: Fanfic Ideas You Wanna Write Most (Regardless of Length)”

WRITE ALL OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO! /o/

YES BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW

servantofclio replied to your post “top 5 videogame love interests!”

the version in your head! :D thank you for flailing!

THANK YOU FOR ENABLING THE FLAILING!

atomicpen replied to your post “I just saw the argument you had with - that - human being - and you...”

I'm curious, is this person posting comments across fandoms? Are they limiting themselves to one fandom?

uh. I think they’re mostly fixated on Shadowhunters, but they’re more than willing to be all judgey at anyone else who gets involved in the conversation. 

intezaarlily replied to your post “Oh also! All this talk about three-dimensional ladies and femslash is...”

I totally get what you mean re: Black Mirror. I tried 3 other episodes and wasn't into it at all (but somehow fell in love with San Junipero).Let me know if you ever get around to watching it! :)

I will! (Though you changed your URL I was so confused by this comment for a moment.)

forgefaerie replied to your post “Oh also! All this talk about three-dimensional ladies and femslash is...”

San Jupinero is very worth watching. I'm not very big on Black mirror myself, but that episode is very sweet and hopeful. AND it has Gugu Mbatha-Raw as one of the leads (talk about ridiculously pretty) I think you will enjoy it a LOT

Well. You know me really well, obviously, SHE IS SO VERY PRETTY, I will move it up the tbr-list. or. tbw list, but that looks weird

twistedsinews replied to your post “I mean in regards that last ask I am 99.9% sure that I am going to...”

*here for the all the three-dimensional ladies' stories i can get my hands on fistbump*

I KNOW RIGHT? 

I just retweeted a thing about the invisible hole that is mothers in speculative fiction and just. WHY THE THING? More ladies of all sorts, please and thank you. 

intezaarlily replied to your post “I mean in regards that last ask I am 99.9% sure that I am going to...”

I'm going to be losing my mind about Helen/Aline right there with you. So excited to see them!

YAAAAAY!
