she/her queer I'm dying a little inside but it's fine 'cause I've got fictional characters :)

Intro Post :D

Hi, I’m Scar!!

Oh and I use she/her pronouns :)

SOME STUFF I LIKE AND THEREFORE TALK ABOUT

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  • Marvel (like all of it but right now mostly XMen and like all the marvel shows)
  • Sometimes DC but I don’t talk about it often here
  • Musical Theatre
  • Lost
  • Whatever fixation I happen to have at any given moment is
  • Whatever I forgot to add to this list

OTHER THINGS

  • You’ll probably hear about my personal writing projects at some point but they are still very much in development
  • I post very sporadically
  • Every once in a while you will be regaled with stories of my idiot cat
  • But not super often tbh
  • Im gay and that comes up quite a bit on here so that’s fun
  • Please don’t be hateful (homophobic, racist, transphobic, ableist, etc) on here - I will block you and probably report you

That’s all!! (I think)

Something with fried meat or something sweet, the choice depends on what inner "I" wants at the moment

Buying new books, especially if I buy them in bookstores. Also programming, especially if I do it with friends from university :)

I like to imagine some fictional scenarios while trying to fall asleep

Night owl. I just like the time when I can watch something in peace

Lastly, if you work, what is your work profession? And do you like it?

Sometimes if I have free time I take some simple programming-related tasks as a freelancer. But I want to become a cyber security specialist and I hope that after university I will work in this profession

btw sometimes it's okay if your sole motivation to do something good is someone else. It Is Still Getting Done.

Which is something I don't see out there enough. In fact I often see quite the opposite, and I need to hear this one hell of a lot so l'm sure other people do too. Should you try to get to a place where you're doing the good thing with yourself as motivation? Yeah. But if you're not there that's okay.

And I'm talking about hobbies like writing and art (because I see a lot of "you should only ever be creating for yourself and never anybody else" which just isn't true, if your entire motivation for an art piece or a fic or a story is that somebody else likes it that's okay! You're still making something!! If you need outside approval to keep motivation up for a project and you'll wind up giving up otherwise that is not morally evil! It's okay! Needing external validation for things is okay! That said, always try to let yourself be enough for you to keep going with the project, but if that's just not how it is right now, it's okay) but also like. getting up in the morning and eating breakfast and doing laundry.

If you are alive or taking care of yourself because somebody else wants you to be, you are still alive and you are still taking care of yourself. That's what's important. Everything else comes second.

Make a poll of your favourite female characters and let your followers choose their favourite

I didn't get tagged but there is way too much female character hate in fandom so I want to spread some positivity!!! also i love women

I didn’t put Genya because that would throw the polls, because she is the ultimate best. Also she was in @ihavenoconsistentinterests’s poll and I already voted for her.

and tumblr won't let me add anymore

“ONLY friends?”

Being friends isn’t an “only” situation. It’s just as fulfilling as having a romantic partner.

Romantic:

- you want to see them

- you are happy when you see them

- you smile when you think of them

- they make your life better

Platonic:

- you want to see them

- you are happy when you see them

- you smile when you think of them

- they make your life better

SAME HAPPINESS

THATS ALL THAT MATTERS

COME ON

Musicals are time loops. Every night, the same thing happens except for a few minor differences. It always ends the same. If you want the characters to do something different or to make better choices, too bad. The actors are bound by the script and the score. The only way for the time loop to end is for the show to close. But you (the audience) don't want the show to close, nor do the actors who would like to be employed. It's a lose/lose situation. For the actors, audience, technicians, and for the characters, who are forever stuck in the same stretch of time.

y'know what the buffyverse is sorely lacking? weird little critters. all their demons are either human-shaped or enormous monsters, where are the weird little cat-gremlins that terrorize the garbage cans of sunnydale? where are the hell-pigeons? i feel like there's a huge missed opportunity there. obviously there would be limits to what could be done on tv, but there weren't really any strange demon animals in the comics, either. and i just think that's hella unfortunate

I honestly don’t remember why I didn’t buy these two in the first place.

Luckily, I was still able to find them on a second-hand platform—probably because this brand is relatively easier to find in the country where I live.

I haven’t bought anything from Hot Toys in a long time, but these two are surprisingly well made.

The only thing I really don’t understand is why Magneto has brown eyes—it honestly hurts to look at 🫠.

That said, the magnets added to his hands make him a lot more fun, which is a big plus.

I don’t plan on opening them, since my room is basically like a dog’s nest.

Overall, I’d recommend Professor X more than Magneto, if you have to choose between the two.
