Sorry bro, I think reducing Richard to just wanting the inheritance is a diservice to his character. That is literally So boring if not The Most boring interpretation of his lore (also simplistic because obviously he wants more than just that, he...craves her soul)
I got into IDV four years ago with under half the cast we have today. I don't expect people to read every character's deductions/letters/etc when there are so many, but gosh, do I despise you all parroting stuff without fact-checking.
This mess made me realize a few things.
1) most people can't take the heat of the fire they start
2) idvtwt is minuscule and very easily ratioed by other fandoms
3) 🌪️✝️ is more popular than before (and I gotta thank all the amazing artists/writers for that)
oof
1) bajitora is underrated af considering baji would rather die for kazutora than live for chifuyu
2) koko suffers as much as inupi does in tenjiku, but y'all find it easier to empathize with inupi's inferiority complex than koko's overbearing drive
Hey everyone. This has been in the works for a while now, but I’m pleased to announce that Nightcest Week is happening soon! The event will be held during September 9 - September 16 2024. The prompt list + additional info will be posted below ⬇️
It's okay Helel, I know you and in this household you're always allowed to impregnate your brother (or be impregnated by him, depends on your mood, I'm aware)
What is the point of curating my space and blocking accordingly if some jobless guy is going to call me out (and the people I am friends with/admire from afar) for tagging my content
You know, I'm usually so quiet about this because everyone has the right to be uncomfortable with X o Y. Seriously, I don't care if someone dislikes my ship of choice. It's fair.
But also, can 🌪️✝️ haters learn to shut the fuck up and scroll past the posts that upset them?
This will sound crude, but the number of men I fucked because of comphet and the desire to feel wanted...yup, that's self-harm, and ofc it doesn't invalidate your sexuality, but we NEED to eradicate it and speak up about it in our circles. This shouldn't be a normalized behavior.
the way people made comphet into this silly little part of being a lesbian and not something bad that can and Should be dealt with and gotten rid of bc otherwise it can literally lead you into behaviors akin to self-harm is so crazy
Call me a little hater, but Wrio/lett/e has yet to show me anything with substance apart from two tall guys looking pretty together. Patiently waiting for the new version...
People trying to defend ships that go "we should be getting upset at X instead of Y" got me like 🤨buddy, we should not be getting upset about ships at all.
I am only saying, he is a subversion of the knight going by chivalric romance standards, and part of his character is invitably defined by his relationship to his lady.
I don't understand why people wouldn't curate their online experience to avoid the content they dislike. I don't think it's healthy to be so bitter about fictional characters all the time.
fandom complaining about why X has more fics than Y and 'where are the women' when we writers barely get engagement with our work...idk, maybe you can be the change you want to see
Ivy needs a nerf. Yes, she does. Her full presence is almost unavoidable, her ostracons barely have limitations, and the late game practically forces you into waiting out detention. "But her early chase is bad" <- Insolence. She doesn't even need trump card. I rest my case.
Nothing scarier than liking a character who’s in love with his brother and running into a bunch of people who claim to also like him but delusionally don’t think he’s in love with his brother
okay, pretend this is circles
every time a joker fan starts trying to talk about the ~morally correct~ ways of shipping i just laugh my ass off. my brother in christ, you like the clown incel that burned down 30+ people.
if i had a dollar every time someone complained about good itha artists being into ithacest i would have enough to buy myself a good meal and a couple of drinks
being an Ei liker has taught me that people will intentionally look the other way when it comes to male charas and persistently hate on women. I know there's a public that loves Ei, but they really don't get her either. She's just "a queen" or "a disaster" when really she's both
[RTs and likes are very appreciated!]
December's been particularly difficult for me, so I'll be taking writing commissions from now on 🥹 feel free to slip into my DMs!

🌪️✝️ shippers are so damn respectful about other people, everything is tagged and orderly. We stay in our lanes while keeping up the hype and hard work to feed ourselves. But OF COURSE. Of course some guys get pissy at properly labeled content and try to mock all that effort.
You are miserable. This is exactly why IthaNatha is the most popular Ithaqua ship a year and a half after hid release. Because we use all that energy (and spite) into creating more content that we enjoy.
i gotta say i'm tired of ppl acting like idv writing is a competition. just stick to your choice of blorbo and stop comparing X and Y. no one will come out happy.
SINCERELY, I hate the Us vs Them rhetoric, but this fandom sucks to be part of. You bitches don't read lore, don't treat content creators fairly, you don't even let people LIKE THINGS without making a burner account to expose them. Oh, I yearn for the old fandom etiquette.
Every time someone says Morningstar's theme is "royalty" I have to sigh and tell myself that absolutely no one wants to read my 5k essay focused on religious imagery & symbolism
Natha haunting the narrative and being a crucial part of Itha's character is something I didn't expect them to play into to the extent they've done but I am VERY grateful regardless.
Reasons why I love playing José:
1) stable rescuer
2) mind games go brr
3) easy to use
4) have you seen how wide his shoulders are compared to other male survivors
Why is top/bottom dynamics a matter of discourse again? Can't we just have fun? You don't have to understand why someone else likes X as either a top or a bottom (or a switch!). Let people have fun with whatever tickles their brain.

I am sorry for these messy tweets, the IDV fandom is burning me out and I swear only the love for my blorbos and the friends I've made along the way are what keep me active here.
