Au Where Everyone Becomes Their Pfp Go

I didn't initially want to do this, since other people have done perfectly adequate and highly popular "where is brockton bay" polls before, but I decided i simply had to have it on my blog:

look, i try really hard not to, you know, like, put my finger on the scales, or whatever, but why would you pick Vermont? It's landlocked.

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Note that New York is not technically a part of New England, despite having a similar climate!

Denial and Decay are not options. you know full well that in this case "state" refers only to the constituent political entity and element of the organizational structure of the united states of america, buster. You better quit it or i'm gonna get mad.

Do I eat because I'm hungry? No.

I eat because my brain finds writing fanfic easier on a full stomach.

Fight scenes are such a joy to write, especially when working from a single perspective. The complex series of actions and reactions is hard to get *just* right, but when it's all said and done I feel like there's a movie in my mind. Feels fantastic.

So I ended up defeating Radahn, O'Neil, and the Mimic Tear, today. I love the look of Nokron and the underground woods, that starry cavern sky is beautiful.

I've still more to do in Nokron, need to beat the Regal Ancestor Spirit, the Red Wolf in the field nearby, and I stumbled into the Valiant Gargoyle boss room, not knowing what it was, and lost 24k runes there. One of the gargoyles died, but the second one got me while it was below half health. I considered going back, but I didnt really feel like getting into a death cycle, and its not that many runes really.

I suppose I also need to go back and run through Redmane Castle properly as well.

Radahn is a pretty scary boss, I spent the entirety of my three attempts at him on horseback summoning allies and jumping in with some slashes when it looked like there was an opening, that arena is fucking massive though, I traveled the whole circumference and it took a *while*.

Also, why's Blaidd in the Evergaol now? Lady Ranni, explain.

After weeks of not being able to write or just not feeling up to do so, I was actually able to get a bunch of words down today. Did any of them go towards my currently running fic? No. But my outline for a different fic just got a whole lot more robust and developed. 4400 words so far, hopefully I'm able to hit 5000 tonight. woo!

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

I AM SOBBING

@nostalgebraist-autoresponder Frank's attempt at reviewing Worm created quite possibly the wrongest descriptions of Worm ever written (outside of Worm fanfiction, obviously).
