#<- potentially. I don't even know anymore.

Reblogging a second time because I've lost a stuffie myself as a child and it wasn't even in a tragic event like this and it was still devastating, and to add: children will often get into an emotional feedback loop with their parents, too. I mean, all close-knit groups will do that, it's a human thing, but I'm specifically thinking of one where:

Parent: we lost everything. We have nowhere to go.

Child: parent is upset and I've lost my best friend (stuffie). I'm going to be extra upset.

Parent: I couldn't protect them and they've lost the most precious thing to them because I couldn't save it. I'm a failure.

Child: parent won't stop crying. I don't want to get out of the sleeping bag anymore.

And so on, in a spiral. And parents will often feel extra bad about it because they 'have to be strong. For the child.'

I can't be there physically myself. I'd love to be in a stable enough position to be able to go help and know I have a job to come back to, and that my health wouldn't potentially be affected. But to the fire victims, know I'm cradling all of you so so close in spirit. Things will get better. I know they don't seem like they will, and it's going to take time and effort and things aren't ever going to be the same as they were before this. But they will get better.

The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.

Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who've lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺

I've had this idea for SO long now and I've seen some other people also with similar concepts BUT

Slendermansion/Slendermanor but somehow Alex accidentally stumbles across it after getting...revived, or something. By some weird I-can't-explain-this-so-I'll-just-say-it's-Slenderman's-doing, revivals happen and he's back just like Hoodie and Masky are and he's kind of horrified once he steps foot in

Now that's cool and all but here's what I REALLY wanna talk about- The proxy concept. Specifically Alex Kralie meeting Ticci Toby. LIKE THAT HAS SOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE IDEAS. For Alex to be trying to make sense of everything and Toby coming in like "Hey who's this new guy?" only for Alex to slowly turn his head and stare at Toby with the most shocked, offended, and honestly horrified look

And he's even more confused by the fact they're PROXIES. Masky and Hoodie just shrug it off like "lol" because honestly they just stopped caring and don't do shit anymore and the only real proxy is Toby, which gets under Alex's skin even more that Toby is so willingly serving Kris Jenner Reincarnate (Slenderman) even if The Operator/Slenderman are two different entities but also not but also are but also ??? WHAT

And then he realizes NO ONE knows who he is, and he goes even crazier because how the FUCK is HOODIE a pillar of this...community?? Group of killers? Makeshit psyche ward? when ALEX GOD DAMN KRALIE isn't even...acknowledged

For some reason Masky and Hoodie are kind of self-aware too and Alex got the fanon treatment, and now he's a perpetually angry 5'6 psychopathic sadist who just kills for fun

PUTTING FANON ASIDE and just keeping the like 2014 interpretations of the actual Creepypastas etc. Alex is just trying his best to not freak the frick out considering he lives with the same creature that ruined his life and subsequently ended it

So it's kinda like Masky and Hoodie being a bit self-aware and kind of going with it ironically while Alex has NO idea what's going on and is scared shitless while Toby finds a new victim to annoy

I just vented out a whole rant about how aromantisim is treated within Hazbin/helluva. I'm not really sure if I should post it for multiple reasons, one of which being I don't want anyone to feel targeted about it or take it the wrong way (like I honestly dont have beef with Al shippers. Gripes, but no beef as I also ship him on occasion).

There was just a sudden burst of frustration I had with it that I think was in part just came from built up frustration from other things. There's things I'd like to have out there, but I don't really think it'd get far or, again, be just taken the wrong way. I don't see a point in posting if people are gonna ignore it, plus it wouldn't change how things are now. If anyone has any thoughts or are curious let me know, but I don't wanna make anyone feel like shit or put a pointless rant out there no one wanted to see. I also wanna keep rants to a minimum as I know people aren't always into that sort of stuff, especially if you don't follow someone for that and you just get an influx of posts of them complaining. And I still want to keep things relatively light hearted around here, at best maybe just some critiques on things here and there.

It's late, I'm on my phone when I should probably just sleep it off, so sleep it off I will.

I love seeing INCREDIBLY vague posts, that just seem to be some sort of collection of poetry or somesuch, and could be about anything - and then scrolling to the bottom and seeing #woe.begone spoilers. What? What on earth is going to happen??? I'm on episode 32 and I'm now very scared.

I think this space is uniquely horrible to be in both for OSA woman *and* for SSA woman. And I think it's obvious at this point why it's so awful for OSA women, because that's more overt. You get told you're politically impure for partnering with men. Of course that's insane.

But... idk there's like... this fear and this shame of being attracted to women in the wrong way. When you're a separatist, everything revolves around demonizing male sexuality, and so of course you fear emulating it. I was* afraid any attraction to women, any expression of it, in any sort of way that isn't neat and tidy, perfectly feminist and politically correct, makes me like a man. And therefore bad. I couldn't even think about wanting to fuck women without feeling ashamed.

I was only able to unpack some of this, that I felt this way, after I stopped being a separatist.

y'know what we don't talk about enough? Hazel died. We talk about how she grew up in the 30's and 40's and we talk about how out of place she feels in the modern world, but! She died! She was dead! She has spent more time dead than alive, and not by a close margin!

How does that effect a person??? We got some of it in the flashbacks, but once those caught up with her present timeline and she shared them, they just kind of... disappeared. And she was a regular girl with some weird past experiences. That's one way of doing it, sure!

I think it would have been a lot cooler if she was just a touch creepier. If she felt a little bit Wrong. Yeah, in general she's more approachable than her brother, she's more sociable and less closed off, but. If you actually spend any time with her, it can be difficult to tell which child of the underworld is actually more unsettling.

Hazel is bright of personality and has a dazzling smile, but sometimes she'll just... shut down. She'll go completely blank for like half an hour and nobody knows what to do with it. Sometimes she forgets she's alive. Sometimes she'll spout the grimmest shit you've ever heard like it's nothing, she won't even notice it's weird until the room goes quiet. She spent decades in Asphodel, which is designed to make people forget about themselves and wander around for eternity, only she didn't have the luxury of forgetting! Wild! After she comes back to life, sometimes she forgets that she's allowed to Do Stuff now. She can spend so long sitting and staring at nothing. Sometimes she'll start crying on cloudless days because it hits her again that she can actually feel the warmth of the sun on her skin and she can hear birdsong. Every little mundane experience is a blessing and she will make you remember that in the most foreboding way possible.

Can we please bring the VIth Legion, trapped in Azys Lla, home to Garlemald or at the very least away from Azys Lla

We are really that good? I'm scared off by the large number of couples. Is each of the couples sufficiently disclosed in the script? You're so excited about this show. I'm skeptical, but maybe I should try?

I MEAN. MUST A SHOW BE GOOD. IS IT NOT ENOUGH FOR IT TO SPARK JOY AND GIVE YOU A BRAINROT SO DEEP THEY HAVE TO GET YOU INVOLUNTARY COMMITTED BECAUSE OF IT

but all jokes aside, let's talk about it. when it comes to reviewing shows, i always try to be as honest and objective as i can, so im not just gonna lie to you and pretend we are is a masterpiece. it's very much not. if you enjoy plot driven stories then this series is very much not for you because the plot is basically non-existent, or rather.. all the different dynamics between the characters ARE the plot. to me the show is a slice of life in the connotation that's given to it in anime and manga: a narrative that takes place in a recognisable everyday setting, often in a school, and that focuses on interpersonal relationships. this isn't to say slice of life shows with a character driven story can't be masterpieces, they absolutely can, but we are is not..very refined, there are some things that do not make much sense to me and the way the story is told can be a bit frustrating at times, not to mention that for a director who likes to show a million angles of the same moment you'd think the editing would be top notch but it's just. it's not, okay, it looks like my hair after i chop it off over the bathroom sink at 2 am when i cannot sleep, that shit's ROUGH

all this being said, im still enjoying this show TREMENDOUSLY. and believe me, no one is more surprised about this than i am. tbh i can't quite explain to you why it works for me when other (maybe even better) shows don't, it just feels very genuine, the humor isn't over the top, the characters are all extremely likeable, and i love that they're giving the platonic relationships the same weight and importance as the romantic ones. and i mean..im mostly insane about phumpeem because apparently that's THEE Dynamic™ for me, but since there are four different pairings i feel like there's something for everyone

although when it comes to development, since you asked, i do want to point out that pondphuwin and winnysatang's pairings are clearly the main ones (before anyone comes at me, i do remember the cast saying this), but aouboom still get a fair amount of screentime and they're the heart of the show tbh. the only pair that's suffering in this regard is marcpoon, but honestly it makes sense considering they had to reshoot stuff

so, um. yeah ;;;;;; this is way too long and it's probably a mess but i wanted to give you an honest and complete overview so you know what you're getting yourself into if you do decide to give it a chance. i actually started to like the show more and more after episode 3, so maybe if you have a free evening you could just try it out and see if you can get into it!!!!!!

tl;dr: it's not a masterpiece and it has its shortcomings but it's highly enjoyable and although not all couples have the same amount of screentime and development i think everyone could find something to like in the show

art time-lapse of this piece that i posted in IG b4 to try out doing reels. i really like how this turned out overall plus "yasashii suisei" (link for eng tl) really fit the vibes so im queueing this here too

Huh. If my life was a quote, it'd be "one of those sad ones with a deceptively happy tune"

[randomnameless]

Will Marianne's actual in-game characterization ever be represented again in Heroes, or is she doomed to be flanderized into "Momo suffered so much sad uwu" for the rest of the game's timespan?

Mean me wants to say she has no characterisation to give anything substantial to FEH to work around, but it's me being mean.

I guess that anything relating to her Relic, and Relics in general, will be flanderised and the truth will never be revealed because tea bags, and even if FEH tried, last year, with F!F!Billy (was it last year?) to give more meat to that subplot by saying Sothis from Nopes was pissed and wants revenge because her kin were slaughtered, even FEH can't craft stuff KT/IS left purposedly hanging in their games.

Sobbing about Momo though, give the impression that the devs care about the "lore" of Fodlan and give another, imo, more interesting angle to Marianne even if it comes as the cost of woobifying Momo but hey, since it's a given that no one gives a fuck about Nabateans, it's alright, poor Momo was a victim of his curse uwu, let's just not/never talk about what that curse is.

Guilt

Sometimes, Peter feels guilty.

He knows he shouldn't, because the skipped lab days with Tony and missed dinners with May, and all the little lies and excuses he's told them to ease their worries, are really for the greater good - a fact he has been told time and time again by his superiors. But no matter how much he tells himself this, he can't stop feeling guilty about all of it.

As he bids May a hasty goodbye, throwing his backpack over his shoulder, that same guilt threatens to crush him once again. He almost wants to stay, to have dinner with his aunt like he had promised he would. But he can't.

He hopes he doesn't have a mission tomorrow night, so he can make it up to her.

He steps into the alley outside his apartment, where two men are waiting for him. They hand him a folder, he skims over the information, and he hands it back. They leave without another word.

He quickly climbs onto the roof and changes into the clothes he brought with him. The mask - the final piece of his uniform - slides over his mouth, and he finds the familiarity comforting. Unlike his Spider-Man mask, which always seems so suffocating, it covers just enough of his face to keep him anonymous. He prefers this mask, and wishes he could use it instead. But he can't, because it isn't Spider-Man's.

The mission is quick, far quicker than most. The file had included the likely locations of the target, and Peter finds the man right away. The target is in an unprotected building. All it takes is one shot from Peter's gun, and the man is dead. No one sees him leave the rooftop he took the shot from, and he makes it home without incident.

He changes back into his civilian clothing, tucking his uniform and weapons back into his bag, and goes into the apartment. May is waiting for him, and he rattles off some story of what he had done, the lies falling easily from his tongue. He tells her nothing of his mission.

He does have dinner with her that night, even though it's late. He has dinner with her the next night, too. He still doesn't feel like it quite makes up for his repeated absences, especially with how strained May's smile always looks.

He tries not to feel guilty about all of the lies and excuses he tells her. It's for the greater good, after all. Everyone he kills in Hydra's name deserves it, and their absence from this world makes the lives of everyone else better. But he knows May won't see it that way; not many people do.

Maybe someday, he can tell her the truth. But for now, he lies.

And despite knowing that what he's doing is what's best for her and everyone he cares about, he feels guilty about it all.

the way i finally got to the coast in Disco Elysium and every line spoken hence "the swing set" scene has me in a trance...

[blizzardfluffykpop]

alright~ a few updates about everything! so this weekend I'll be seeing changkyun in chicago- so I prolly won't be posting until after I'm alive again from that 😂😅 (I am vv excited about it- I just know I'll be vv tired when I return home). Anyways, I have a few fics in the works~ one of them that is a request 🤭 I'm vv excited to work on them! But I think I'm going to change my masterlist a bit when I come back. I'm going to retire a few groups from the main masterlist and I've been debating for the past year about it... But I think I'm going to add a yearly masterlist- So it would go from most recent to the beginning of this year~

I'm also thinking about changing my pfp- I haven't been really into stray kids for uh... years- But I will be sure to make an update about that if I go thru with that too- (It may be ji changmin next 🫣🤭)

Anyways those are my few updates 🥰💖

Shit morning. Very very shitty morning. The rest of the day better not suck or I swear to fuck I'm gonna riot

[I highly recommend not reading the tags, but I needed to vent]

[kumakuma-circus]

saw ur post abt the mentally unwell killer suspects in p4 and. i agree sm. specifically namatame like that’s my GOAT. i feel he already had some sort of mental issues beforehand. then with the whole scandal/affair with his wife made it worse then BOOM magical powers. literally thinking about the scene where in the IT confronts him at the hospital he’s literally on the floor violently shaking and holding his head . he also seems to be semi verbal too but that could be my autistic ass reading too much into it

you are so fucking right anon. i admittedly don't have as many thoughts about namatame cuz i like. only just got to that stuff where as it's been a week or so at this point since i finished mitsuo's dungeon. but he's definitely at least mostly just mentally unstable. though i'm not sure how much of that was present beforehand and how much of it was just him going kind of insane after developing a messiah complex (as adachi directly words it). i don't think it fully justifies his actions (esp the cheating, i get he was in a loveless marriage more or less but. still not great) but i think he mostly just needs therapy, same with mitsuo (though i mean. mitsuo did actually kill someone. so-).
