Idk where I'm going w/ this but mdni😭🙏🏾
But like, basically js imagining u finally convince all the LIs to have one crazy orgy w/ u. Like, honestly here's what I'm thinking.
Rafayel and Sylus would be like a little jealous and confused bc like??? 😭⁉️ ur my girl, wtf do u mean an orgy w/ 5 other men, two being ur childhood best friends???? But they live w/ the mindset of "if u like it, I love it ig" and they'd agree to it. They're both some really horny, freaky fucks and not to be on that cuck shit, but they'd lowkey really enjoy watching u get fucked by the other guys bc they're js freaky like that idk. And ngl, Rafayel getting passed around too, Sylus having the honor of fucking the brat out of him first😛😛😛
Caleb and Xavier would flat out refuse bc??? Bitch do u even know me😭⁉️ I'M CRYING AT THE SCANDALIZED LOOK THEY'D GIVE U. Like??? Bro ur insane for even asking that, genuinely. But then they think on it, and they're like actually tweaking out, Xavier crashing out the worst, but then it's like... lowkey it might be kinda hot... bc like... idk they freaky like that too. Like honestly, as long as they can constantly touch u at any point or u touch them, they might be able to handle it. I can imagine Caleb and Zayne bumping heads for whatever bs reason, and Xavier side eyeing Sylus the whole time. Rafayel and u wondering wtf these niggas got beef for when y'all not even naked yet😭⁉️ I imagine Xavier would also be passed around too tbh.
Zayne would honestly be the most chill w/ it. Like, "Is this what u really want?" And ur js like, "I mean, it'd be cool to have u all in the same room, doesn't necessarily have to be sex." And he js shrugs and is like, "Nothing against ur other friends, but I think we should all use protection." And u readily agree😭🙏🏾 anyways, Zayne would be chill w/ all of them. He thinks Rafayel is a little annoying, and he doesn't quite know where tf u found Sylus at, and he's almost asked to check Xavier's vitals like 20 times within the first fice minutes, but they're cool. Where his problem lies is Caleb... bc why is bro tryna size him up??? Buddy we were childhood friends too what😭⁉️ I think Zayne would eventually get sick of it and put Caleb in his place bc let's be honest... Zayne topping in that relationship, let's not be dumb...
Anyways, let's js say evb would leave w/ e/os numbers and a gc would be made, private messages would be sent, secret link ups that really aren't that secret bc all these niggas suck at lying😭😭😭 especially Rafayel. "Hey raf! I didn't give u that hickey?" "A turtle bit me." "Okay man."
And if this ends in one giant poly relationship then well. Uhm. Idk man, that's between y'all and God or smth idk💀💀💀
--------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah, and in this, u don't have an established relationship w/ any of the boys. Ur literally friends w/ all them and js so happen to be a little more than friends and u decide to spice things up😛😛😛 js silly thoughts that I have😭😭😭 ik some of these might be ooc, but it's js lil headcanons and thoughts LMFAOO

i know i shouldnt dwell on stupid opinions like this but a while ago i saw someone complain that Applin was a boring concept bc its just a worm in an apple and i was FLOORED. this iirc was in response to smth about gen 1 designs being boring as well
its not just a worm its a Wyrm its a pun. that is a concept. maybe you don't like it personally but to say its objectively bad is certainly Something. not every pokemon has to be based on a myth or something else fantastical to be a good concept. you Need "boring" pokemon for the dex to feel complete, if Everything is Cool then nothing is actually cool
"gamefreak is running out of ideas" yeah there's a billion fish pokemon but they're all actually very different to each other, lanturn is an anglerfish and lumineon is a butterfly fish. say what you will abt gamefreak rn its probably warranted but imo the one thing they still do right 100% of the time is unique concepts for each pokemon. the execution can be debated but the fundamentals are always there
#clai speaks#does this make sense#i get so annoyed every time i see the ''they're running out of ideas!!!!'' thing parroted all the time i had to say SOMETHING#like yeah you're gonna find some pokemon boring. theres a thousand of them now with all different designs#theres no way all 1000 are going to cater to you specifically. impossible#but to then fault the ENTIRE THING. get mad at people when they like the mon you think is lazily designed or boring or whatever#sorry not every pokemon can have the lore relevance of cosmog or reshiram or ogerpon? i guess????#you Need some toned down concepts for a good creature collector. or any game with a vast array of enemies to fight#are you expecting to go to route 1 and find reality-bending dragons there?#honestlyyyyy i don't actually even think gen 1 designs are Boring. yeah they aren't at the same standard as modern mons#but for the time they were perfectly acceptable. its been almost 30 years yeah things will change#maybe i;m just mad bc i'm a huge fan of several ''boring'' mons. fearow is so bland but i love it a lot#all the regional birds actually. no 1 unfezant defender#idk i should stop here i'm rambling too much. point is. i just wish people would stop treating opinions as objective fact#you dont like applin. thats cool. others do tho stop being pushy about it ok#i realize now maybe its hypocritical to complain abt others having these opinions its just. the way they always present it irks me yknow???#ahhh whatever. i think i;m making myself mad now JHDBJHBHJF#guy cares too much about pokemon opinions pt 126736

alright im done fucking around how do i, an unemployed loser with no degree, get back into the uk......
i would literally just go to study because although i'm not a fan of the concept i think i could at least do it now that i've got meds, but there is just. nothing for me to study lmao. i'm just not interested in things... i want to get back into video editing and oh my god if there was an option to JUST do post production as an undergrad i would jump on that immediately, but i really cannot be bothered to do yet another THREE YEARS of film production (after already doing two years of media at college and another year and a half of film and tv production at uni) just to be able to do a post-prod masters like oh my god

#mine musings#not tagging etc etc#i just want to ramble (this is about lc)#do people feel like lg's character is incomplete without a backstory?#like a “past” before he met cxs#i feel like it's a nice-to-have thing (wouldn't be opposed to it) but i don't think his character requires it to be fully fleshed out yknow#his character is strongly defined by his role in the narrative because that's how stories work. but like#i do feel like we've learned a lot about him that would've stayed constant even if cxs isn't in his life though#like idk i just don't understand calling him a plot device i guess#like would he be more interesting if it was revealed he got attached to cxs so easily bc he had some kind of unhappy childhood or whatever?#i mean if it's executed well. sure?#personallyyyyyyy i think it's already compelling if he's just like. some guy#he's just some nerdy kid who made a friend and felt grief and loss for the first time and couldn't take it#like. that's compelling to me. unhappy childhood would be interesting too but like. there's nothing wrong with lg being just Some Guy™ imo😭#maybe it's bc i like the idea that lg could be anyone#and what i mean is like. that could be me. that could be you#all it takes is to find a love and friendship you're not willing to let go of. and as S1 has shown many clients have the same regrets#the only difference is that they never had the ability to change the past like lg did#like cxs said in YE1. everyone would want to have the ability to change the past. it's human nature#and i like the idea that the love and grief lg went through isn't something that's unique to him#like obviously it's unique in the sense that he makes it worse for himself with time loops#but like. the love he experienced could also happen to me. could also happen to you#same with the grief#i'm realizing as i'm rambling here that THIS is actually what i love about lg's character#now i kinda wish i didn't hide this in the tags lmao but whatever#i didn't want to invite debates over this and like if director li wants to give him a backstory that's fine#but the way lg is right now. i don't think he's “just a plot device”#and i don't think he's an incomplete character#i'll accept any backstory but god i really wish he stays being just Some Guy who loved and lost and continues to love and lose#because it's human and normal and everyone goes through it

i haven’t been here much recently, and i’m sorry i’ve only been negative on the off chance i’ve been online, but let me just say one last piece before the end of this month, so that maybe the next might be better….
Tumblr media
#or ​maybe my time here ends w this month…i’m not sure i guess it all depends on how i feel but as of right now#everytime i think i'm fine i open tumblr and immediately am sad again the whole app has become my doomscroll at this point#i got a notification on a random talking post from a while ago and it felt like reading the words of a completely different person#lately i find it difficult to find any joy here at all when it always feels so lonely… a type of loneliness i’ve never experienced before#everyone always has ppl interacting w them who are interested in their stuff or are always sent things that are reminiscent of them....#i’m always praised for remembering stuff abt other ppl but i wonder if anyone remembers anything abt me#what is it about me that is so forgettable am i dull am i uninteresting did i not solidify myself enough do you guys just not like me lolz#but i don't want this to come across as guilt tripping or being ungrateful to what i do have because ik comparison is the death of joy but#it's still hard to watch when it's so in your face and it makes me think if ppl only talk to me because they feel obligated to#because anyone can say empty words.... i wish my perception of things didn't turn bitter i wish i hadn't become so jaded but#over and over i've felt irrelevant cast aside overshadowed and i cannot exist in a place where i feel like i'm a ghost in the corner#idk i've never felt like This before and i'm at least glad it's something i can walk away from by just....leaving...#sad that this used to be somewhere i can run away To but now it's become somewhere i want to run away From#i don't know...even if i get over whatever this is...things will never be the same for me... i just don't think i belong here#if only i had never made this blog then i would have saved myself a world of turmoil

Joining The Grey Wardens
Meredith 'Thorne', Your history cannot be evaded; those of us who were there know what you did. The terror you held as you ruled over Kirkwall's mages with an iron fist of fear and punishment was not a necessary measure, but a cruelty. You will serve the Grey Wardens with honour and duty, willing to fight against the Darkspawn until your dying breath - or the Calling, whichever comes first. You lived as a Templar all of your life; I expect you understand nothing more than duty first. It is no pleasure to accept you into our ranks, though you are not the only troubled soul with a bloodstained past to have joined us. I trust you will serve us without question, though I imagine this is as much a last resort for you, as it is a means for redemption. Go forth and be brave in these unprecedented times. - From First Warden Glastrum
As long-standing Knight-Commander, the fateful day that the Chantry was brought to the ground, set forth the spark that would lead to the deaths of most of the mages in the city of Kirkwall, including the Circle's own First Enchanter Orsino, and set the fire of the templar-mage rebellion across Southern Thedas.
Meredith Stannard's long-standing paranoia had ruled the Gallows with an iron first and a blind eye to injustice; her choice to seek out a cursed, blight red lyrium idol in the pursuit of power would lead to her very downfall. As Kirkwall's Champion, Hawke sought to stop Meredith from further destruction, and in calling upon the Maker as His most humble servant, the idol erupted from sheer force, shattering into hundreds of pieces in her face, severely injuring Kirkwall's de facto Viscount. While still alive to face justice, Hawke made a decision to strip Meredith of her titles and to send her into exile out of the city, caring little for where she wound end up or even if she lived.
For three years, Meredith hid herself, struggling through the effects of lyrium withdrawal after spending 30 years addicted to the substance; while she was able to find some here and there, most of her time was spent as a vagrant, trying to survive the horrific effects, surviving with disfiguring scars and gaunt cheeks. While still competent with a blade, she was made weak with no lyrium to supply the templar's magical suppression. For the years of the Inquisition, Meredith thought to find a way to redeem herself, but finding out Cullen Rutherford was in command of its armies, she doubted she could cross its gates (though, perhaps, in another life, she could've).
Desperate, reliant on hunting for food or begging for scraps in small rural towns, Meredith sought one last resort: The Grey Wardens. Known to take in all who were willing - including those with horrific pasts - Meredith sought out a local Senior Warden under a false surname. While certainly aware of who she was, given the events that had transpired, and led to the issues within the southern Warden Order, she was told to write the First Warden. While the response was not warm, it was not a rejection. And so, by 9:42 Dragon, shortly after the Orlesian Wardens were found to have been controlled by the venetori, Meredith became a Grey Warden at Weisshaupt in the southern Anderfels, somehow surviving her joining at the age of 50. While her background enabled an easier training, learning to fight amongst fellow soldiers with a new enemy in Darkspawn was a different approach than what had been expected as a templar against mages.
For years, Meredith learned to fight again; while she had survived lyrium withdrawal, the opportunity arose to retake it from the supply given to Warden mages. While hesitant, it was debated among her commanders that a templar's magical suppression could be useful, and gradually, she too reacclimated to its effects, and like old skills, they returned easily. Classed as both a trained sword and Templar, Meredith rose from recruit to an established Warden in a mere few years.
By 9:53 Dragon, as a Senior Warden at age 61, rumours are heard about blight returning once again, and the Wardens are called into action, with Meredith among them sent into the fray...

Sketch I accidentally put too close between other doodles
#i gotta get better at figuring out where battle scars would go... esp bc i'm so detailed about moe all the time LMFAO#one thing about the moefonse dynamic. is i think each envies the other to a degree.#in my notes i once described alfonse's feelings about moe as seeing an angel.#a beacon of the beauty life has to offer and hope. the magic and awe of seeing someone who is overtly and unapologetically queer#the beauty of seeing someone just fagging it up. with attitude. outspoken and crude.#writing that note was extremely funny though like. moe? we're talking about the same guy?#my shitass fuckhead homunculus who has every disease? guy who failed in every facet of life EXCEPT for the Bad things?#bc that's all it is and all it ever will be? a bad fucking thing. that guy????#well. it's a matter of perspective... perhaps.....#another focal part is how each have made all-or-nothing sacrifices to live the way they live.#alfonse will never be his own person so long as he's a prince and eventually king. he will always be whatever he Needs to be.#but he's also someone who's wired in such a way that. this makes sense for him. this IS what he wants and embraces it#esp for the good of all. 'those w power should use it to protect those who don't' (ashnard interaction)#that's his mentality. that's what he believes in. that's what he's going to embody no matter the cost.#meanwhile... moe. well. you know about moe. it's a tale as old as time for queer people unfortunately.#endlessly complicated on moe's end as well. the way it both resents and envies what alfonse is able to do.#idk i can talk about it forever. but i gotta organize my tags here i CAN'T HIT LIMIT 😭😭😭#moe tag#fe alfonse#moe lore#summoner oc#my art

twitter is entering their "rts > likes" phase now that likes are private after they spent years calling us ungrateful for being demotivated by ratios lmao
#man fuck yall just support artists you enjoy#dont attack people who dont rb/rt your art (hell they might even have it scheduled) but also dont constantly demand ''content'' from people#ESPECIALLY without telling them that you appreciate the effort they put in to show you cool things they made for free#you should've been rt'ing/rb'ing from the START 😒 just show people you care!#im just waiting to scroll through post after post of ppl calling out ''entitled artists'' lmao#btw my opinion on the whole thing is painfully neutral if you couldnt tell#i dont think you should care that much about numbers and ppl take it wayyyyyy too far#throwback to that one guy who personally @ everyone who didnt reblog their art that was CRAZY. i would straight up report you KJFGHKG#i also understand and have personally experienced how much engagement can change your mood#a simple ''i love this!'' can make someone's day. it's not hard to understand why ppl like engagement#when they make post after post without so much as a little tag they dont care about sharing anymore#the fact that people call that ''entitlement'' is also crazy#i have a lot of drawings i havent posted or just left nonrebloggable bc it really doesnt make a difference lmao#the only ones i leave rebloggable are the ones that i Know will do well and get attention. like the little pig redraw#if it's cute or funny it gets positive attention. anything else is shit on here lmao#it's just not as fun to share. it either leads to no engagement or negative engagement#would rather have nothing than something rude so whatever#some ppl say it's always been like this but no it absolutely was not always like this#idk what exactly caused the change. probably a lot of factors#could even just be the fandoms i hang around in! but considering i've seen the same sentiment from a bunch of ppl i doubt it's that#the best solution to no engagement is to just make friends and have fun#but 90% of the internet is hostile and negative and rude for no fucking reason#when i unfollowed someone on my old public twitter and they @ me over it. damn i dont know why but NOW i know why 😭#this post has gone way off course im just ranting at this point. i havent talked in a while hi how have you guys been#work was a lot yesterday and today is too slow (im not at work im just going crazy in my house)#(and i cant leave my house bc there's construction blocking the road someone save me)#chat

maybe if you find yourself liking AI art all the time and that makes you sad for some reason you just don' t have very good taste in art lol
#.txt#idk I just haven't really found it hard to weed out 'ai' or whatever#because I don't actively follow and reblog art I don't like#like idk I'm tired of artists on here preaching about AI as if its crypto#and everyones jumping through hoops to make ai the same as crypto#'its art theft! Its electronically wasteful! Those are the only things that were wrong with crypto so AI is JUST AS BAD AS CRYPTO!!!!!!'#way to show your ass and demonstrate you have no clue what the actual problem with crypto was#like yeah the art theft and energy waste are bad things but the real issue with crypto was its attempt to economize everything#make everything online a possible area for wealth extraction via spectulative currencies#AI is just... not that#and even the comparisons with theft and energy use are tenuous at best#but why investigate the things you believe when you could go on an outrage fueled crusade against some random tech you don't like#When are we gonna get over it and talk about the actual issues facing artists online? because its not ai#I have not seen a single case where an artist is actively being... taken advantage of by ai?#except in the vague sense of 'I think my art might maybe be in the training set for this... so its stealing from me >:('#I still have yet to see a compelling reason that AI is 'anti art'#aside from reactionary whining about how AI users have a 'lazy corrupt soul' and are evil crooks who want all artists to starve to death#like cmon guys its actually embarassing#im actually BEGGING you if youre reading this to rethink what exactly their problem with AI is and if thats legitimate#because theres a lot of noise out there so you can basically just say whatever you want and find someone whos gonna support it#that fucking '6 cups of water per query' thing? Blatantly untrue and unfounded but now its the standard argument people make cuz its scary#the entirety of a supercomputer does in fact use a lot of water to cool it but AI isnt consuming 100% of the bandwith of those computers#especially not 100% of the time#you can just average the amount of water the computer uses over the average time it takes a query to generate#and then get some random number and claim the query 'used all that water!'#but it didnt and it would be misleading if not an actual lie to say that#additionally training is the only computationally expensive part of AI development#the queries are put through a pre existing model the expensive part is building that model by parsing unfathomable amounts of data#and yeah you can have your problems with super computer water use but its not because of AI#they didnt create these computers just to build AI on theyre fucking supercomputers

tee bee haytch i’m not even sure i fully grasp why so much of the arcane fanbase fully believe viktor and mel like… hate each other. i don’t think they’re best friends nor do i think they’re on good terms, but hate seems like such a strong word for two characters who the writers literally barely let interact. hate implies seething. a vitriol. lying awake at night angry about the others existence. and i just don’t think it gets that serious for either of them. i know the go to thing to point to in order to explain this belief is that one particular scene from s1 that i won’t even describe or be specific about since it’s obvious which one i mean, but even that doesn’t really feel like proof enough to me to justify the whole ‘they are enemies. they can’t stand each other’ or ‘mel doesn’t like him at all’ angle that people push. truthfully i do not think mel hates viktor. if we are to go by solely what we see in s1, then i do not think she even thinks about him much unless he is in her line of sight. and you could argue that that is in some ways as bad as disliking him, but it’s definitely nowhere as close to the sort of vitriol the fans seem to think exist between them. i think any dislike viktor has towards her doesn’t get anymore personal than the basic dislike he has for all of the councilors. one might argue, no, see, he dislikes her more so than everyone else because of jayce and the scene. you know the scene… but even then i don’t think so. i think he’s less upset with mel because i don’t think he expects much else from what he sees as another rich politician, and more upset with jayce, actually, for letting himself be so easily swayed by a pretty face. i don’t know call me crazy but i think many of y’all are projecting your own hidden dislike of mel for ‘getting in the way of yaoi’ onto the characters. but that is just me.
#sometimes i check out melvik content because i do think these two had quite a lot of potential.#if they’d actually let them interact it would have been quite interesting to see how that unfolds yknow.#but even melvik content sort of falls into a trap of like. they are enemies. they hate each other. and idk🤷🏽‍♀️#i don’t think that’s quite right either. there’s not enough to suggest full blown hate imo. annoyance yeah. a third thing probably.#i’ve seen people sort of say she dislikes him for being from the undercity and/or disabled#and i dont think the disabled bit holds any water at all. there is nothing to suggest that anywhere.#or perhaps i missed it. either way i think its more of the same projection.#as for him being from the undercity… that has more to it. but again i think its less ‘dislike’ and more apathy.#mel isn’t from piltover. so i don’t think she has the same sort of strong prejudice someone from there would have for the ppl of zaun.#but she IS still a rich politician. so while she wouldn’t necessarily have that sort animosity towards them…#a complete lack of interest makes sense. she simply doesn’t think about them. they’re not why she’s there. and that’s just as bad.#but i feel like to some fans it's not bad enough. bc they need her to be this big horrible evil. or whatever. idk! so they exaggerate ig#'heres why mel is an especially bad person who hates fragile defenseless flawless viktor and treats him so so poorly' when ... i just...#she's not at all without fault but i don't think that happened guys<3#anyways i do hope arcane fans realize that the way they treat and even talk about her is biased at best and downright racist at worst#the way ppl talk about viktor gets weird too but thats another argument i will have with myself elsewhere.

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill
#ready to see all the people coming out of the woodwork to say how they’ve never liked watcher/unsolved/etc#and act like it’s ‘cringe’ now that their fanbase feels ‘betrayed’#it’s great to have a fanbase but parasocial relationships will bite you in the ass every single time#it’s interesting too though because i’ve seen watcher have a LOT of support as they’ve tried to build something separate from buzzfeed#so this is the first time they’re getting real pushback about a decision they’ve made wrt shifting their platform/expanding their brand#so ig we’ll have to see how they react moving forward#but it’s soooo interesting to see how enthusiastically people dump on buzzfeed#AND how many people dump on youtube and how over the years so much of its functionality has been stripped away#how many ads you have to sit through. how much sponsored content there is now. etc#but when they try to do the same thing with youtube that they did with buzzfeed it’s like how dare you not lick their boots#because if you lick their boots and we lick their boots we can watch stuff for free#anyway.#even if you don’t any to say it’s a bad business decision. it’s not like there’s not precedent for it#1) the move away from buzzfeed was successful and 2) what about the dnd shows or whatever#don’t you guys watch those dnd shows that are ‘behind a paywall’#don’t you guys have netflix hulu disney hbo amazon etc ad nauseum that are actually owned by billion dollar corporations#don’t you guys get on your high horses about supporting independent artists all the time#it’s interesting that people will profess to be such big fans!!! and feel like they’re friends!!!!#but how dare they think their work might be worth paying for#idk. idk. it’s entitlement though#sorry for the rant i’m ALSO not trying to blindly defend a bunch of people i don’t know#but you guys are being soooo fucking annoying about it lol#anyway i’m still waiting to see what their response is going to be from here before jumping to conclusions#also to be fair i am biased to be lenient about decisions made by independent filmmakers vs big studios etc#like everybody freaking out about the ai art used in late night with the devil. who cares honestly#‘they should’ve paid a real artist!!’ idk maybe their budget didn’t cover that#i don’t want it to become the industry norm but at the end of the day i would rather see indie shit getting made then only seeing#the big studios (who don’t have equitable practices anyway!!) making shit#but that’s another conversation. just to be transparent about my viewpoint on this kind of thing#maybe controversial but also can’t we have nuance. for once.
