jeff sadecki loves to be like Ugh my bitch wife has been so paranoid and high strung ever since she killed the guy she thought was blackmailing her friends over the stuff they did during the 19 months they spent stranded in the canadian wilderness. Something that has nothing to do with me at all

give me as much or as little information as you want, feel free to go crazy about your favourite albums or cd designs, it would all be really useful <3

Thank you in advance and please reblog so i can get as many responses as possible :)

really sad to me when the pjsekai fandom starts talking about the tenma siblings like one’s emotions cancels out or overlooks the other’s when they’re actually like the most connected pair of siblings in the game. the impact of saki’s illness on her childhood should never be chalked up to “oh poor tsukasa must have been so lonely.” but the loneliness mentioned in tsukasa’s childhood shouldn’t have ever turned into invalidating saki’s feelings in the first place. if anything, it should’ve proven just how resilient these silly siblings are and how deep their bond goes. saki’s feelings directly impact tsukasa’s and vice versa. tsukasa feeling sad shouldn’t erase saki feeling sad, and saki feeling sad shouldn’t erase tsukasa feeling sad. their feelings were never opposing forces and they never invalidated each other!!! THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!! goodness.

Confession #735

[rosykims]

i genuinely love love love the iconoclast path in rogue trader SO MUCH. its one of the things that ultimately enamors me to the warhammer franchise as a whole despite empathy being so antithetical to its world and genre. its not just because iconoclast is the Nice Person route or because it subverts the foundational principle that In The Grim Dark Universe There Is Only War............ but mostly i love it because its the best way to actually engage w the morality system presented in 40k and explore it the way it deserves to be explored. its so unique parsing through the choices of the game and navigating how one might actually ACHIEVE goodness through - or more accurately without - the lens of liberal modern morality. because adhering to what we presently would call morality is arguably crueler than some of the dogmatic choices - or at least the game wants you to reflect on that and decide if that kind of morality still has value or not. and i like that they give you the opportunity to do that. youre rarely rewarded for kindness in this game and in fact your oftentimes actively punished for it (void shadows was a TRIAL for my iconoclast rt) which presents another question: are you being good because of a reward you believe you'lll be entitled to, or are you being good for the sake of goodness itself??? in saying that i do LOVE how there IS payoff in the iconoclast route eventually - when youve bleed and suffered for it enough. but theres a quality to it thats so..... so BITTERSWEET, because yippee you Empathed your way to the top - but also what IS the top?? congratulations, you are the kindest autocrat in the most bloodthirsty fascist regime in human history, sitting on your throne on a voidship run by all your slaves and serfs who die by the hundreds every time you make a warpjump for some dumbass sidequest. what the fuck. can you actually call that goodness ????? is whatever goodness-adjacent thing youve achieved worth it even if you cant change the system in the ways that matter ??? lastly - the iconoclast ending is both so wildly universe-altering to the point of feeling like a heretical ending - but also kind of. not mattering really lol. because even though its hopeful, the "good" ending still feels soooo tentative with the likelihood that its very likely not going to last. but that in itself is my favorite take away from playing this game as The Last Good Guy in the Galaxy: because the love DIDNT change anything. and it DOESNT save anyone. but ohhhhhhhhh my fucking god does it absolutely matter that it was there.

I think it's really important for any yellowjackets fan that was not alive in the 90s to know how accurate that ice cream shop commercial was. Commercials back then were fucking terrifying. So were some of the toys and tv shows. Tai being haunted by creepy ass 90s character is so real. That is the most brilliant way to tie in the no eyed man and I can't wait to see what they do with it. It really adds to the supernatural vs psychological debate. I love how everything can be either or. Him being in the dreams/hallucination definitely feels supernatural! Aaaand it's also not far off that multiple girls saw that commercial as kids, it scarred them, and it stayed in their subconscious. It's just such good writing I love it.

That is one of the most realistic things so far. Every friend I know that is my age has at least one sworn enemy from the 90s that's haunted them to this day. Many of us have the same nightmare! Here's a few examples:

I love thinking about the 03 turtles having those moments when we remember they’re really just kids. Like them playing tag on the rooftop before the Ninja Tribunal made a hot mess of everything, avoiding chores at April’s because cleaning the dishes is a sucker’s job, etc.

Anyway, April totally surprises them one Christmas by getting them all Lego sets. Cuz what teenager can resist the siren call of Lego?

yes, even Raph and Leo aren’t immune.

Splinter tells her later that it’s the quietest their home has been in years. He truly enjoyed the absolute focus his boys had with building their little sets together.

he sure has

Heja!

Throughout the end of February, I will be doing some vintage inspired YCH poses to celebrate the beginning of the year. Flat rate of $40 per pose. Each pose can be altered to include different body types and any gender of your choosing. These will be in my normal style (some examples included in the banners, but more examples can be found in my art tag #coffee break!), which INCLUDES COLOR and a simple background.

I'll begin by opening 5 slots, but feel free to DM me even if they are closed so you can be put on a waitlist! ^_^ Happy New Year, everyone.

Little analysis on Misty and the relationships she has with the yellowjackets and herself, because why not.

Honestly, I think one big reason people don’t understand her character is because they don’t understand fatal loneliness. She has truly been living in her own world for so long that she kind of created her own echo chamber. It isn't just she doesn't have friends, she has absolutely no other input. It is incredibly easy to moralize everything you do when you have no connection to anything that keeps you in check. Because you know who you are on the inside, you know that you don't do things maliciously. This is probably how Misty sees herself. Her mind is in a constant spiral, looping around itself to justify everything she does, because how could she be evil? She knows her intentions aren't. I think this also a big reason, other than the fact that she is young, why she doesn't see and never truly will see a problem with her and Ben "being together". She was turned out by social norms and othered at a very young age and now any rhetoric that society throws at her, even moral values, she can throw away in her mind because she doesn't feel the need to live by a "social standard" in any sort of way. Even if that social standard is something objectively right, she'll be grouping it in with a society that rejected her. Why would she live by that? She's figured out her own set of rules for what's wrong and right and a lot of them just don't hold her accountable.

Another thing is that she has truly only lived as a bystander. It's why the woods seem like a perfect solution to her, why she'd want to stay in them longer. She's lonely, she's found a place that is just as blocked off from the world as her mind has been for years. Here is the place where no words yelled against her hold any real weight. Because she is needed here. There is absolutely no one with the knowledge she can provide, at the end of the day their insults are only for show, because they can't make it without her.

This is why we see her start and end relatively in the same place. She is in no way a static character, but the rest of them have a much more obvious descent than she does. Their disconnect from society does the exact same thing that hers has done her whole life; it justifies them. They will never see themselves as evil, because their brains are now doing the exact same thing, moralizing their actions. Telling them that what they did, what they continue to do, is okay because they have reasons. It's why they're so quick to reject Ben, because he is proof that they never had to abandon morals to survive. And it's why they are so quick to establish a hate against Misty once they get back, because she is someone they can easily pin as "crazier" than them. They see her as the obvious outcast, and now their first step back into society is reestablishing that. It's almost how they "gain back their sensibility". Furthering themselves from what Misty is, even though they all went through the same things, is how they manage to go a little less insane.

Truly what every Yellowjackets monologue has kind of dissolved into is the repeating phrase "I am not a bad person because..."

I hope no one takes this as me pinning Misty as an evil mastermind, it's meant to do the exact opposite. I want people to understand just how much loneliness can affect a person and the way they see things.

Anyway, I'd be super stoked to hear what others think of Misty and what's going on in that noggin of hers :)

Yin Hanjiang they could never make me hate you.

i snuck into their group chat 🤠

[riccissance]

Christina Ricci: Misty obviously does some messed up things, but it’s all in service of finding love and connection. Who doesn’t want that? Also everyone should be nicer to her.

Melanie Lynskey: Shauna is traumatized and lashing out due to immense pain. It doesn’t excuse her actions but we should all try to show some empathy.

Simone Kessell: Lottie wants the best for everyone and has done nothing wrong in her life ever :) Also she’s vegan now <3

Tawny Cypress: Taissa Turner is a loser, a deadbeat, and a danger to society. I’d say Van deserves better but I’m enjoying making out with Lauren Ambrose too much.
