Welcome

I’m Fable. I write. I game. I’m here for fandom community and chill vibes. I’m a fandom old. There’s some adult content. I’m friendly and mostly harmless.

On my AO3 you’ll find The Outer Worlds, Far Cry 5, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, and just a touch of Firefly.

I love to talk about writing and my OCs. Please ask me anything any time, especially about my OCs: Lore Jameson (TOW), Nora Jameson (TOW), Bowie (TOW), Micah Hale (FC5), and Lilith Mallory (FC5).

I also make moodboards. If you’re interested, here’s some info.

Ko-Fi if you want to support me. I’m also available for commissioning for writing or moodboards/banners/etc. Just DM me <3

I love tags it’s like muttering under your breath on the internet

OCs are so fun and I think its awesome that even people who don't plan to publish a story or draw that well will have them. Its just good for you to have toys in your brain to play with.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it #meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it #if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely #which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it #and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

typicallyexceptional

There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.

But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.

FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.

I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.

If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.

Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.

It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.

#actually. do not hate watch it. do not pirate it. do not touch it.#this is a line in the sand you just shouldn't be crossing. it's not hard.#if you are still actively in hp fandom in 2025 please just do me a favor and block me i never want to see you #speaking as a former potterhead: Let. It. DIE.#i block anyone i see actively posting hp fandom stuff these days. you have no fucking excuse. there is no loophole.#she is actively trying to harm all of us. don't give her any support. not ANY. find a new goddamn story to love already #fuck jkr

It's hilarious to me how Colossal Biosciences wants to be movie-version John Hammond but are 100% book-version John Hammond. In the Jurassic Park novel, it's very clear: John Hammond is a con artist who gives people an illusion, not the truth. He knew from the beginning that what he was making weren't dinosaurs, but he didn't care because he had a story to sell. He wasn't just "filling in gaps" with the frog dna, his scientists were basically making things up from whole cloth and he had no pretence about it- but he also knew what the public wanted to believe.

Case in point: https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/

The Return of the Dire Wolf

Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct s

These are not dire wolves. These are GMO gray wolves. Dire wolves aren't even in the same genus as gray wolves, and we know this from genetics.

What Colossal is doing is scamming the public. They want you to believe that they can pull off miracles. They can't. It's the flea circus where everything is mechanised, but because you want to believe, you "see" the fleas. They might be good at genetic modification and they might be good at hyping themselves up, but they haven't de-extincted the dire wolf. They didn't activate mammoth genes in a mouse. They are lying to you and they're going to keep doing it. Don't believe the hype.

#grifters using science in unethical and haphazard ways and too many people are buying it #people read jurassic park or see the movie and entirely miss the fucking point being made #these are the same techbros trying to sell everyone on ai. it's the same exact grift. bullshit. smoke and mirrors. LIES.#god i am so tired

are there any film adaptations of books that you like more than the book?

#there's a few actually #first to come to mind is holes #the book *sucks.* said what i said.#but the movie is charming #and as much as i love the princess bride as a book... the film is just perfect in every way #there are others but i can't remember them right now because brain soups #oh. also pretty much everything stephen king writes is better on film than in books #he should be a screenwriter not an author

#this is... a weird question. a very weird perplexing question #why are you looking at word count or number of pages?#i am not looking at any numbers when i pick up a book i am reading the words and deciding if it sounds interesting to read #to quote mean girls since you like math so much for some reason: the limit does not exist #no such thing as me thinking 'oh this sounds so good but alas it has too many pages' what. why.
