roll around and sigh ...

wait on 2 library books since 5th of this month . still nothing . only potential hope is that most recent delivery boxes behind counter still not quite empty , as peek yesterday during second poke-and-bother session , so could uncover today . really hope so - will go in today anyway for event , so that would be convenient .

thoughts

might be collectively fictionhearted with shezow , and perhaps shezap as well . actually pretty obsessively watch that show back when first come out , over and over , and well . haha , bigender

dive back in recently to create shrine for website ( shameless plug ) and while not complete , have so much fun with watch again to research - and also feel like rekindle that connection .

shezow and shezap is not really how identify , but still important connection and expression , as well as funny nostalgia factor .

journal game index now on neocities !

journal game index here - now with some separation between audience groups that is hopefully at least semi-useful . some games may be subject to re-categorise , but figure since 18+ games on table , might as well also get slightly more specific about others .

do note that general and mature still do not correspond to intent of design for kids and teens - only about whether games contain sexual themes or heavy emotional themes that require more caution and responsibility to roleplay . that just seem much more sensible in mind .

actually

neocities seem to allow pdf uploads . full archive of journal games would not be bad idea ... just in case something was to happen . might as well get on top of that and hope never necessary , rather than have to scramble when suddenly necessary .

itch policy ...

someone here come up with really fun kinky journal game idea , but worry very much that itch would take down and remove whole account if actually upload . not really sure about policy , or if policy actually mean jackshit anymore , because come across pretty tame things that end up taken down and nuke ... and while non-visual , this is definitely on not tame end of spectrum .

incomprehensible brainfart !

look through one of probably-abandoned journal game drafts , and find phrase ... " roll d6 on tarot card " ... sorry , what ? 

roll d6 on tarot card ...

honestly

sometimes wish have more trust to say people can refer with she pronouns as well , but sort of problem of assumptions . like that someone would come across pronouns without context , and assume get to pick and choose which one feel " right " , and not that pronouns vary by kossai choice . 

so never really do that . kind of derive euphoria from characters instead .

shezow's 13th anniversary !

december 15th , 2012 , mark first release of superhero cartoon shezow ...

this show overall was pretty silly - lots of stuff that can expect from any old kids' superhero fare but with silly gender-based twists , since main character is boy as hyperfeminine superhero .

but there was also episode ( link to tubi tv ) in which mother learn of son's identity as shezow , and feel so much pride and joy that want to reveal for sake of show pride , which would endanger - not only because secret identity is secret for reason , but particularly because father hate shezow .

show was not able to get all that deep into things , realistically - there was talk quite some time ago that even acceptance of identity as shezow was hard to get on air , let alone any kind of deeper thoughts and questions . but honestly still hold pretty fond place in memory , for nuggets like that .

so , happy anniversary , shezow !

if kossai could write novels ...

just think about how kossai would handle fae romance novel ...

would make as gay as possible . while human might be confuse and initially put off by this , of course , faerie would have no thoughts on this as strange . fae like what fae like , and fae do what fae do , regardless of human perceptions of right and wrong , normal and abnormal . and no 6 page monologues to come out . 

never really fan of whole nobility thing . if did incorporate nobility , would be more for show , not legitimate social structure . fae just play pretend with these things sometimes - anyone can be prince or princess , duke or duchess , whatever . likewise , would write court dynamics as more personal reflection . 

would incorporate personal biological cycles . acotar's " calanmai " thoroughly disappoint with how fucking straight this shit was , can do idea of faerie heat so much better from experience . not that heat cycle is inherent to faeries , and certainly not within folklore , but faerie sexuality can be very intense and hard to contain . still able to feel intensely at any time , but if most intense feelings bloom on predictable cycle , then become much easier to deal with than when entirely random . 

not really keen on idea of one big evil faerie . would want conflicts to be more grounded and interpersonal as faerie struggle to understand how to woo human , and human struggle with navigate faerie realm . in other words , would basically play faerie thorns faerie roses :P

another minor acotar whinge

like to joke that acotar would be better if tamlin and lucien could be gay , but know reality of this is , would still personally find unbearable to read , just would be gay instead . actually watch through some videos about later series entries , in which there is 1 singular bisexual woman who spend 6 pages to monologue entire history and sexuality , and then never appear again . pretty sure if SJM try to write gay or bisexual men , would fall into all of worst tropes and stereotypes .  

of course , some fans pick up slack with gay art and fanfiction , but ... lots of this seem to be pre-story or extreme fixer-upper AUs , in which just make nearly everything up , because fundamentally incompatible with actual stories and various counts of character assassination , most notably tamlin's . at that point , personally feel like would not be worth effort to work with source material at all , and might as well just rip off favourite parts to make something new . not sure how feel about engage with fandom in which main appeal is to literally ignore all of source material . sure , there is some stuff that personally ignore or write over in elder scrolls character stories , but at least genuinely enjoy elder scrolls games and concepts as is .

and done with ACOTAR ...

that . was . that was something . keep most of rambles to access list currently , as not yet finish and did not want to make public judgments too early . but no longer is this shackle !

some of faerie topics which handle , actually think alright . bogge , suriel , and attor do not represent particular faeries of old lore , but feel like fit in decently . faerie music is written as suitably magical , able to make feyre feel wonderful , free , and ready to dance . faerie food ruin feyre's sense of taste for human food . even final quarter's trials , tasks , and riddles kind of impress .

unfortunately , some of these really nice moments come at cost of feyre's character image - this woman is meant to be capable hunter who feed whole family and know dangers of faerie menace , yet blatantly rush into dangerous faerie-based situations far more than actually listen to warnings

some parts amuse for entirely wrong reasons - that is to say , laugh at plenty of bad character choices , ridiculous interactions , and contradictions to faerie sensibilities . other parts annoy , because feel like author poorly set up - particularly in ways that take away agency and capability from feyre - or just get horny at worst moments like grief and moral quandary . pick literally any other time to get horny , pretty please ?

very glad that borrow this from library , rather than purchase . manage to satiate curiosity for this series , and safe to say will not continue .

(no subject)

have to admit , there is funny irony in faeries tell humans how to spot generative AI fakes .
