normally i check this (in fact our book club had a rule that if the ratings looked like this the person bringing it has to have solid evidence it doesn't suck ass) but i also like picking up books from random recs and starting without checking anything for the element of surprise so :/

less than 3k with any sense or taste among the 50k who took the time to rate. it's unfortunate but it is how it is

be incredibly suspicious of 4+ star books on goodreads with thousands of ratings. extremely high chance they suck ass

oh SAME that's also a guaranteed way for me not to even look at it ever again kgjsdhls after publishing a fic for the first time in my life i truly understand how much it feels like baring your asshole into the world but can we all just be earnest about it instead of whatever all this is

i think about this tweet a lot

tweet from @arod_twit:

"characters in tv shows are too self aware now! every emotional convo is like "i guess i yelled at you earlier because i never processed dad leaving" no!! no!!! flush someone's blood pressure medication because they called you lazy."

no idea why they decided to change their backstory like that when it was so fucking good in the manga

in tristamp they went a bit too crazy in character creation stage by sliding knives too much towards devil and vash too much towards angel imo and the show suffers from it greatly. they nuked knives' gentleness and vash's anger 💔

trimax knives is PERFECT !! the other two are more like clowns to me honestly but even though i have a loot of problems with the way they adapted his character in tristamp (i think they flattened him a lot 💔) i'm still intrigued by him the most in terms of what they will do with him going forward

i say manga specifically cause for some reason i never managed to hit it off with tristamp wolfwood so i kinda dgaf about him but maybe stargaze will change my feelings

i kept talking about kv here but i gotta say i am a vashwood truther first and foremost if we're talking about the manga even though kv remains the most fascinating dynamic always in all versions

bc if your attitude is "i fucking hate this 😎" towards the vessel you're using to tell your story... why should i bother reading it? also how is you making some typos and grammatical errors while writing & sharing fanfiction in ENGLISH an act of "not letting them have your tongue" ITS SO ANNOYING

don't get me wrong i'm not a westerner nor a native english speaker and i was not really given a choice when it came to learning this language. i am quite aware of the power dynamics at play between languages. i get the sentiment and i share it on many levels EXCEPT when it comes to telling stories

klavier is like an angel of a prosecutor compared to edgeypoo but i love my girls difficult so edgeworth remains supreme in my heart forever and always

zey🦩 @predatoryflamingo.bsky.social · 1d

both klavier and kristoph are very fun characters i hope you enjoy them :D i also love apollo's interactions with them and him as a protag. this game is so refreshingly different than the first 3 in many ways

zey🦩 @predatoryflamingo.bsky.social · 1d

i'm not hating on it ftr i think it's fun and i love both versions

zey🦩 @predatoryflamingo.bsky.social · 1d

klavier is one of the most fascinating examples of localization choices making a character extremely bizarre i need to write about this one day cause it's so fucking funny from his name to catch phrases and everything
