//I'm on season 4 episode 2 of Buffy and demon aside, Buffy had every right to be annoyed with Kathy. The girl went through Buffy's closet and "borrowed" it without asking. Why? "You got mine all muddy. I didn't think you'd mind." Of COURSE she'd mind. I mean, ANYONE would be pissed off. You don't take people's stuff without asking. And fuck Willow for giving her the "be nice" look when Buffy got upset. Also, Kathy went through her stuff while she was stealing the sweater. And then she has the audacity to complain to Willow about Buffy and say stuff like, "I don't think she's quite normal and she belongs in a HOME" TO HER BEST FRIEND. Just....no. And Kathy was being just as bitchy as Buffy was when she dropped in on their Scoobie meeting. Of course, no one cared because they were hyperfocused on Buffy because GOD FORBID she gets pissed off about her roommate doing things that ANYONE would get pissed off about.

This episode annoys me a little bit.

Listen, I'm just gonna offer the best gpose tip anyone has ever told me...

If the clipping is happening out of view

Then clipping doesn't exist.

This is the same for crunchy limbs, crunchy elbows, weirdly posed cloth, etc.

Clipping happens. Clipping in gpose is an unavoidable thing. The sooner you accept clipping happens, the happier you will be trying to gpose.

Yes I know it's not easy to accept. Esp if you're very hard-wired to correct any errors, or if you're a perfectionist (like me).

But I promise you, eventually you just stop caring about it.

And if you point it out, or any flaws on someone's gpose when you were not explicitly asked for constructive critique, on someone's gpose I hope both sides of your pillow are warm and that you stub your toe on something different every time you get up so you can never avoid it.

UPDATE: A REASON FOR MY ABSENCE, A BRIEF SUMMARY Normally I don't make posts about my life but I think I need to give an update to all the peeps out there about my random absences. I don't talk about my life a lot due to the amount of dysfunction and heartache that goes on behind the scenes that drain my will to be creative, to interact with everyone, to even live. It's like every year that goes on, there was something in the background that disrupted my life and mental state further.

First and foremost I've grown up a parentified child taking on responsibilities not mine to bear with no say in the matter. Being forced to give up my own childhood for my own parent's selfish decisions. Then I moved away from my mother's to my father's. Which wasn't even better from 2014-2019 living with him was very terrifying due to his anger issues and violence whenever I didn't do things his way. He had this expectation for me to go to college full time while working full time and expected me to pay for my own college and pay him rent. When I stopped going to school to focus on working, he would verbally and sometimes physically hurt me. I had lost a severe amount of weight due to the stress and decided to move back in with my mother in 2019.

Fast forward 2021 my father died of cancer and my mom is in a custody battle with one of her many baby daddies and looked to me for financial support since she hadn't worked in nearly a decade. I had started a new job around that time but my mental health was drained at that point.

Now in 2024 my mother has decided to bring my elderly and sick grandmother into the household where we don't have a lot of resources and we really aren't equipped to give her proper care. But now the table has turned where she has finally got a new job a month ago and I am not working currently. She decided to dump the task of taking care of a confused, incontinent, elderly grandmother onto. Even though my own mother never had anything good to say about her own mother and I don't have great experiences with my grandma either. But we have to take care of her because "we're family." Gimme a break.

So right now I'm a bit pissed, sad, tired, and a myriad of other unpleasant emotions. If you ever want to know why Koji is gone all the time. Here is your answer. Family life bullshit.

But not to worry, I've been working on trying to get myself out of this hole I've seemed to find myself in again. Because I do want to interact with all my new followers and old ones. It's just that I've been recovering from deep wounds.

[cynthiaandsamus]

(While reading Olympus I've been thinking about the philosophy of Part 2 and part of it has always kind of bugged me, like each Lostbelt seems more perfect than the last and we just happen to find some wrinkle to justify it being bad even though I'm sure a lot of people suffering in this world would take that tradeoff for some of these places, like regardless of how bad some of them are underneath it would be better for people to live like that even if we see it as 'unearned' from the outside perspective and it felt like the bad stuff was just tacked on as an afterthought to be like "Oh yeah blow it up, it's okay, it doesn't have the suffering of the real world so it's not REAL. And that bothered me, it read to me like the point of living in the real world IS the suffering, like if we somehow managed to cure world hunger we'd be the next on the chopping block because the unanswering weird force that decides what good history is wants us to keep suffering. And I get the whole "Kingdom Hearts is Light" thing they're going for with the best in humanity and all that but it just seemed so weird on a humanitarian level to be like "yeah this is fine" to all the abject suffering in the (Fate version of the) world.

And then something kinda clicked for me, I remember watching Apocrypha and that anime is very weird because I dunno about the novel but the anime makes it seem like they're not really sure why Shirou Amakusa is bad until they get to his place, like they don't know what his fucking plan is and just kinda assume it's bad and will kill as many people as possible based on that baseless accusation, but when they finally hear his plan for the Salvation of humanity there's no Human Instrumentality darkness behind it, like it would fundamentally just be good for everyone but they still reject it based on the idea that "If you hand salvation to humanity they'll never know if they could've done it themselves." now in Apocrypha because this kinda comes out of nowhere late in the game it just sounds like Sieg's butthurt about Shirou killing his waifu and basically committed to stopping the 'evil' plan they all sacrificed so many people for and makes it sound like people have to "earn" the right to not suffer and die for nothing which again I get the idea it's going for but you're still saying "Hey the world is on fire but I'm not gonna fix it because Shirou Amakusa's not a present-day dude, sorry Haiti, keep starving".

But I think FGO does this a lot better because if you apply the "If you hand salvation to humanity they'll never know if they could've done it themselves" moral to the Lostbelts something becomes a lot clearer, the salvation humanity receives in every Lostbelt is flawed BECAUSE it's not something humanity earned for itself, because it was something gifted by divine force and powers beyond the peoples' control and also because if they wrote actualy good places for us to blow up it'd be too dark to sell to horny teenagers but shhh. It's not saying that if we stop suffering humanity will stagnate, it's saying that the only end to suffering that will be worth it is one that humanity creates itself. Something that isn't human can't create a truly perfect ending for humanity. This also kinda bugged me in Apocrypha because they start talking about how human magic can reach the point of being soulblobs on its own if people believe in themselves or whatever and that's just not something applicable to real life since that power system doesn't exist and the idea that we can create anything like that in any sort of realistic world is hopelessly naive, but as far-flung as the FGO version of it is, even if it'll probably never happen, it emphasizes it's the only thing worth doing.

[damian-al-ghul-wayne]

What do you think about Damian possibly developing DID/OSDD-1 later in life? What he's lived through is most definitely traumatic, even if he loves him mom and doesn't think of it as such. He's killed people, and most likely died himself, by ages 4-11 which is commonly when DID can develop, even if it shows later in life. I just think its such a cool concept that nobody acknowledges but honestly I doubt he would either for a while.😭 He looks up to Richard and we know he copes by hallucinating pretty often so maybe Damian just assumes that's what happens when you get older and those voices he hears have no other, possibly worrying, explanations :)

Sorry that was a dumb little rant

I GIGGLED AND KICKED MY FEET AT THIS ASK BECAUSE IVE BEEN WAITING TO TALK ABOUT IT!!

I do believe that Damian would possibly start developing DID later in the future due to his trauma! I think he looks at it as a way to cope, for sure, and now... I know I may make people a bit weirded out by this, but I can also see Damian using age regression as a form of coping. His childhood was shit. He never got to experience a good childhood, so I believe he'd have moments where he felt safe enough to be able to regress... for example, he'd regress when it came to like doing something for the first time that is usually meant for a child / entertainment. IF that makes sense. Regression can also easily come hand in hand with DID (at least, that's what I know of. I'm not a 100% expert on this, so please correct me if I'm wrong in anyway. Mun is also struggling with themselves because mun is like 50% sure that they have DID as well, but is struggling with it if that makes sense.)

I think it's a wonderful concept to look at. I'm always open to talking about it because nobody ever talks about Damian's mental health.

Since we're on the topic of Damian's mental health and its effects! I'd like to talk about how I think Damian would develop a personality disorder.

There's three clusters, and I think he'd fall into either cluster b or c. I've always played my Damian to have BPD (cluster b), along with a mood disorder (which is bipolar) because I think it really fits with how Damian reacts to situations in the comics. His mood changes really fast, and sometimes, he reacts out of anger. He's a very complex and complicated character, and I truly think the way he handles his emotions would be very unstable or explosive. Maybe I'm just overthinking it personally or looking TOO much into it, but I can definitely see him falling into that category or even NPD.

Damian Wayne really interests me because he has so many symptoms for things, yet I know DC will never mention it nor acknowledge it. That's also why I like exploring his mental health a lot on my blog because it's overlooked a lot. People tend not to care for it, which kinda frustrates me, I guess. Like compared to Tim Drake, for instance, people know he's struggling / struggled with mental health because they've shown that in the comics. With Damian, though, it's only implied. Heavily implied yet so overlooked. 💔

Sorry this turned into a big rant over Damian's mental health rather than what this actual ask was about.

But yes. I do think it would be really interesting to see Damian develop DID in the future. Or at least a personality disorder.

Hello again Orchid

Do you mind to answer about Alpha and Beta Timelines?

Mun: "Sorry, but she isn't allowed to break the forth wall like that, so I'll step in to explain~ spoilers ahead for the story idea... been slow with the comic but yes thare be spoilers ahead~"

Mun: "Be sure that you have at least read 'Meet Mason' comic as it will help make some sense of it as I try to explain..."

Mun: "So if you have read my 'Meet Mason' comic you can see at the end Mason meets Orchid by chance and takes her in when he realizes that she had gotten hurt protecting his village. He takes her to his home, narrowly getting caught by the village cleric by claming her as his sister. He then is given a chance to see all that she has been threw and save her from the real villain. He then takes the deal to be sent back in time to be there for his 'sister' as she is going through life... again."

Mun: "First spoiler; it's not his body in the past. His soul and memories were sent back in time and placed in a random villager child who had been zombified... so he is in a different body starting at the mental age of 25, so at the current moment in the comic he has the mental state of someone with 45+ years experience in the body of a 25 year old."

Mun: "Why am I telling you this? Well, keep in mind that in the 'Meet Mason' comic, he got to see Orchid's life in a short few memories... he saw what had happened to her and knew what was coming next for her...."

Mun: "The moment Mason takes the deal, is where a new timeline is created; the Main Timeline..."

Mun: "Now there are two timelines moving at the same time; the Main Timeline where the story is taking place in the comic, the one we are following right now, and the Alpha Timeline where Orchid is still alone, and is separate."

Mun: "In the Alpha Timeline, Orchid had lost Smith and Jay in a critical battle and was then alone for a while with the guilt... eventually finding Mason's village. After he accepted the deal, his body remained alive but unmoving, like a vegetative state."

Mun: "Spoiler 2: Alexander returned and used what life force was left in Mason's body to jumpstart Orchid once more, hiding the moment she woke up."

Mun: "This left Orchid more guilty about someone having died for her sake and leaving her more scared to make friends with others... her Main Timeline self, however, didn't lose her closest friends (and lover) to keep her safe... leaving her more friendly with others."

Mun: "To be honest, if I never got the 'ok' by CrescentTrinity on Twitter/X to use Mason in the first place, we would be following the Alpha Timeline as the only Timeline..."

Blog Announcement

Hi there my lovelies! It is a rare guest, Ria here :D

I put on an Oblivion Let's Play to hold my blood pressure low while formulating this announcement, so you better settle down with me xD

I would like to announce here how I will deal with my main blog and all my side blogs on tumblr from now on.

As most of you know, I am working a full time job in retail, so my nervous costume tends to be a tiny bit thin after around 9,5hrs of shift. I am happy to announce to you all that my time as a worker in retail is finally a finite one. If everything works out right, I won't just be able to start a homeoffice job by next year, but also live at a completely different place and city. Sadly there is still a good while of wait ahead of me until then and a lot of things are unsure as of yet. But I will do my best to get to that destination, because right now everything is pretty much murdering me.

What does that mean for my blogs? I have been on Hiatus for a long while, on and off, over years. And yet I have always returned here, more or less satisfied or happy with my performance or the RPC.

From this day on I will treat myself better about being able to come here and also, I will not spread myself thin anymore. I will transform Mariku into an Ask- and Art-Blog. Interactions are always welcome, on and off Anon, as well as dash commentary or writing pieces and updates of myself. You can tag Mariku and me in everything, the followed tags will stay the same, I will just update a few things on my BIO in the next days etc. [maybe I'll finally force myself to make a card, should the mobile pages not work anymore].

Things that will for the close future not be done on my blogs:

RP-Threads: no matter if long, short, or anything. I am torturing myself, because I cannot say no to new thread ideas and the moment I really get invested into plots, threads, ideas or anything alike, my partners tend to just leave and let me drop like a hot potato and I honestly neither need nor want that hate in my life anymore.

Anon-Hate: Will NOT be displayed on this channel. I will keep my Inbox with anonymous messages on, but every piece of disgusting hate will be immediately plucked out of the screen and burned in a bonfire. You will not get a stage here and you can be assured, that I will piss and shit on your disgusting hatred and then laugh about it for the coming week, because you are the most pathetic thing that I had the displeasure of even having to lay a momentary glance on <3

RPC/personal Drama: I will ignore drama and strictly remove myself from it. I will not be part or target of any hatred, impulsive meanness and/or random bouts of radical opinions. If you don't feel seen/represented in my opinions, turn around and find a place you fit into, but leave me and my muses alone.

Things that will be done on this blog (and partly my side blogs):

Ask-Memes: Of any kind. Ask-Plots, random asks, symbol ask memes, color memes, background memes, AU-memes and YES, also art related asks.

Open Commissions: I will open art commissions again after I had a bit more training on my tablet, for everybody, who wants to commission art. They will likely be limited and they may also for training reasons only be for free for training, thus included in art memes, but I will open paid commissions eventually again, definitely this year. I cannot tell you details, yet, but keep your eyes peeled ;)

IMs and Mun related things: You are definitely allowed to write IMs and ask me questions!! I am here to have fun as all of us are, so if your fun includes coming into my IMs and leaving a cat meme each day or send me weird asks, I am all here for it!! All of this might sound very dickish of me, but I just feel like I get too emotionally hurt and immersed and I want to protect me from bad feelings and you from my wrath xDDD

Thank you for reading all of this and I hope all of us can stick to those ground rules (for now) - we will get on peachy! If the fact that I am not RPing (for now) on here is breaking you beyond compare, I do own a Discord and I am usually willing to share it. Please contact me on here before adding me, so I know who exactly is adding me on there, otherwise, I might not accept your request. Discord: sangnoire

I will warn you though, that I will be very selective with accepting RPs and partners on there still and that any unwillingness to accept that will be met with... a uno-reverse card reaction x'D

((( I swear to EVERY POSSIBLE DEITY IN EXISTENCE, if in the next episode where Striker appears (hopefully they won't just throw him in the bin), he's not in FULL CONTROL AND COOL AND PROFESSIONAL like in the Harvest Moon Festival episode, I'M GONNA SCREAM! )))

(((I mean, LOOK AT HIM! The bastard KNOWS what he's doing!)))

(((Btw, I know he's not perfect, nobody wants a perfect character, but...come on...they could've left him with a little dignity at least.)))

(((He realizes Blitzø caught him and in a MILLISECOND he comes up with a plan.)))

((( So what the fuck happened exactly in Western Energy and Oops??? Why did they have to turn THE ONLY ACTUAL THREAT IN THE SHOW into just another living joke?? At least ONE serious character is needed for contrast. Does that mean they're going to give Satan the same treatment?? Is Satan going to become another joke? They did it with Andrealphus! NO ONE IS SAFE!)))

//As an OC writer, there's something I've noticed for the last few years, over and over again.

[Negative under the cut]

First, people follow the canon muses I write with but not me - OK, a bit disheartening, but they can follow whoever they want to or not, no big. What gets me is what happens after;

Whenever I write a starter for a thread, none of them says a word (obviously, because they're not following me and don't see it, but wait for this). But the instant my canon partner replies to that starter, suddenly a bunch of likes start popping up on it, and some start waxing lyrical about how wonderful that writer is.

But for me? The OC mun who started the thread? Still not a peep.

My partners respond to an ask I sent? Same deal. Still not even a glance my way.

My coattails are getting real heavy here, guys.

[nebulousmedic]

Generally I think DNIs are kinda useless and they dont stop anyone from interacting with you. But sometimes I see a blog that makes my yuck levels go so high that it makes me wanna make a DNI list.

[decadent-dc]

(I apologise if this sounds snobbish. But please can people use full sentences in asks, at the very least? The amount I've received lately that are just "*Muse name* hru?" is really disheartening.

If you're going to ask someone a question, as least go to the effort of fully writing your words. I try my best to put effort in, but lately this wave of "text speech" and low effort stuff is just really killing my mood. It just feels bad when I try and put genuine effort in, to give people immersion in the muses and the world, and all I get back is "hru" and "They just smiled" in response.

I am fine with broken/translated English, because that's normal, not everyone is fluent, and they are making an effort in a language that isn't their mother tongue. Not got a problem with that at all. It's lazy English that I have a problem with. Feel free to use it in casual conversation with me, but if you're trying to interact with a muse, use full sentences and words. That's all I ask.)
