if you saw this on bluesky- no you didn’t .
I made a small post on Twitter about it but I want to make a longer post here because man? I love long posts. I love walls of text. I love scrolling through my dash, seeing “read more,” and then getting a post that takes up my entire screen and more. I love engaging with someone else’s opinions or fiction or 20 image attachments. Like idk man I really am starstruck or nostalgiapilled or whatever you wanna call it, but I can’t think of any other social media platform that’s so multimedia friendly. Being able to share sound bites and mini fanfics and having it all just be here. Just a place to throw yourself out there. Idk man I’ve missed being here.

Thinking about the cliche “what if [X] characters got transported into our world” and how that could relate to DQXI but like, I feel like something a lot of people fail to consider with this AU is that [X] characters’ currency may be functionally useless. Like if we’re taking the Luminary and Sylvando on a Starbucks side quest, that bedazzled pink tumbler is going on my credit card.
“Oh but they have gold pieces” and you think I’m letting those outside of my house?? In this economy?? Nah mf leave your important items purse on the kitchen counter.
Furthermore. Introducing them to cars. We are NOT walking to target. No horses. 2015 Subaru. Let’s hop on the LIRR. Leave the swords in the trunk or we are going to be forcefully removed from the Barnes and Noble.
Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
Making mini playlists for characters is so fun but over the past five hours I’ve experienced so much emotional whiplash and I need to lie down for the rest of the day
Really simple but fun meetcute idea I just had based on realtime events
Starts at a coffee shop with Character A being nosy and glancing over at Character B’s phone, expecting to see maybe social media or fanfic or something else
Character B is squinting at the menu of the restaurant next door
Character A
Wonders whether or not character B is new in town? Just indecisive? Are you getting a coffee and then going next door?
Can’t stop themselves from laughing out loud at just how mundane that is
Tries to spark up a conversation with a “Hey, I love that place!” (they’re never been there)
most likely in that order
