our weapon of light

ooohhh i mean it functions that way in german too (the comma is just on the other end of the quotation marks) so it like makes sense that it Wouldnt be removed then bc its like in the other... unit is the best term i can think of rn... maybe this will make me remember

YEAAAHHH thats the type of situation i mean. i definitely have known about this at various points in my life i just always forget about it

dialogue tag are the bane of my existence actually bc the german and english rules for them are SO similar and german specifically has

?", & !", as possible constellations which iirc english doesnt. and i never know what to do in english in these cases. i think ive looked it up so many times

and familiarity with a rule means you can break it for effect and not just because "thats how you write". rlly similar to self-taught artists in that regard... art is the same

"you shouldnt criticize fanfic writers theyre doing it for free" okay im in full agreement that going into someones notifications and telling them you hate what theyre doing is rude as hell. but also

especially like the kind of punctuation the thread was abt (commas at the end of dialogue) is smth most word processors grammar check will catch and mark. so it being off really reads as "copied straight from the notes app"

commas are my biggest struggle in large part bc english is my second language but thats been a huge reason for why i appreciate and still have like. basic advice. like if youre writing in a language you should attempt to know its rules, its simple...

saw a horse photo that reminded me of emet leading wol into amaurot

and being this resistant to just the idea of getting better at something/feeling personally attacked by the idea of advice alone just makes you seem like an unpleasant person who cant distinguish general advice from personal attack

this is in fact a "type of shit" that artists get too, theres posts about it all the time. ultimately engaging in an art as a craft for many people involves a desire to improve their craft. not wanting to improve your craft is in itself morally neutral. it just means you wont improve

"fanfic writers get so much shit" and then the shit op is talking about is a twitter thread about how commas work

many people have recommended edward said's work which ofc is vital to understanding orientalism but id also like to recommend the colonial harem by malek alloula, which focuses more specifically on how orientalism effects women and this very sexual image of racialized women that keeps cropping up

god i love how effortlessly this like. evokes stormblood as an expansion

thinking abt seeker gender structures and just truly being like all catgirls are rose brides....

and like. yeah. not a situation i consider them to be in tbh!!!

and currently unnamed catgirl is going by tia for the specific purpose of signifying that shes removed herself from the reproductive hierarchy.

but the timing would need to be right!!! and they are like Weird about it. the specific overlap of gender roles and ideas from being mixed seeker & rava viera and having an absent mother for a large chunk of their life. theyd need a partner whos like reliable and extremely supportive abt it all

stella is made deeply dysphoric by the idea of pregnancy & procreation and hates the idea of being involved in any way in the process.

tiqa is voted my most likely to actually get pregnant oc and depending on the timing and situation they might even decide to become a parent

(ironically ive been debating a transmasc haurchefant interpretation & stella is canonically also transmasc so its less abt like actual possibility of pregnancy and more abt the social pressure of gender. also just not a risk of the sex theyre having)

i dont think i have an oc who Doesnt have a contentious relationship with it tbh

luna stopped thinking abt it after leaving ishgard. theyd kinda subconsciously avoided relationships with women in part bc of the perceived pressure of marrying & havign children this would imply

thinking abt redoing my pinned post. hmmm

yeah its like i know the cc is dire esp for f model characters but like "slightly bigger than vanilla" or even just "biggest vanilla option" (outside of like Vanilla Players) is like. guys cmon
