Every day I think of this one fic where Echo held Omega and rocked her like a baby and I just 😭😭😭 In the fic his internal monologue was about how he’s gone through all these things and has all the metal in his body and has this grumpiness and hardness about him after all he’s been through, and yet holding and rocking and caring for Omega just feels so natural to him I AM UNWELL 😭😭😭
#mama echo#mama echo strikes again#I will never be normal about echo#he has gone through so much and yes he has hardened to an extent but also loves and cares so deeply#and is able to be so soft and gentle with Omega#echo is really doing it all#i love him so much#echo is a hardened ARC trooper and one of the best soldiers in the GAR but he also went ‘well guess I’m a mom now’#and I love him for it#star wars tbb#star wars the bad batch#the bad batch#arc trooper echo#tbb echo#tbb omega

There will be a premiere in Berlin nov 3.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DBbq5YSMwMQ/?igsh=MTFzZGxnaTNoM2ljYg==
“Do you want to see Dwayne Johnson,Chris Evans, director Jake Kasdan and other stars LIVE in Berlin” so it would seem that @americanass1981 was correct and we should have believed ilaria and not capT
#but he’s not allowed to leave set#🤭🤭🤭#wrong again#not ding dong trying to act like it’s normal he’s going#when she was the one saying he couldn’t leave set for premieres#capT backtrack strikes again

He’s my little meow meow, my darling, my bbygirl (Patreon)
#Doodles#Commander Peepers#I'm soooooo normal about him you guys <3 So normal! <3 <3#*Looking back over the other Little Guys I've collected* Hmmmmmmm Evil Xisuma and Spamton and Sableye and Rick Diggins#I think there might be a theme here#Just casually making Venn Diagrams in my head - Evil X has the red/black - Spamton is trans - Sableye has Gremlin energy - Rick is too tired#And those are just the ones I can think of lol - if you look I did the same stretchy pose with EX when I was still drawing him lol#The Stretch Pose is how you can tell if I like a character lol - they stretchin'? I am infatuated <3#I mean I'm normal I'm totally normal lol#Also had to give him a bbygrl pose - I for the life of me cannot find it again but the reference is very strong in my mind's eye!#Not that I couldn't go for another one at some point lol ♪#Ugh the middle one lol - so that Word of God I mentioned in passing about female Watchdogs#I read it in passing as just a basic research of ''Oh here's what The Original Creator has to say alright neat''#Except that it Immediately made me itchy and I was like ''What. What brain this is not that big of a deal what are you doing''#And I was like ''No I'm being silly about this - just because I don't agree doesn't mean it's a big deal lol''#Except then I had stress dreams and woke up Weird the next day and the last time that happened I left a fandom#And the time before that I wrote 4 consecutive pages of 20-something panels in like 18 hours of consciousness - I have normal reactions lol#But I opted instead to vent to smol about it and she agreed with me so basically I'm just saying I'm correct lol /s#Personally Peepers doesn't strike me as misogynistic - he's very much an Equal Opportunity villain in my eyes!#And yeah I considered a lot of different angles around it but like - based on the text of WOY I just don't buy it#If it's not in the show it doesn't count! For all we know there might not even be any female Watchdogs! Lol#Would also lead to the equally-to-Spamton interesting question of How Does Trans Work in that kind of situation#I've definitely not already put a lot of thought into it don't look at me lol#Don't ask me to write an essay about both of those things I'll do it and where will that leave us lol#ANYway lol ♪ He's still the absolute funnest to draw in distress and discomfort <3 And kneeling! He makes me want to practice :D#I always feel like I can try again and do better! >:3c

for your consideration in the “it’s a nice problem to have but still definitely a problem” category: the people I spent most of this summer so far interviewing with for a job didn’t hire me but, in their rejection email, they told me to apply for another job they’d be posting at the end of the month and so now I’m in maybe the most awkward job application process of my life
#I had to write a cover letter for it today and if you think normal cover letters are bad#try writing one that’s like ‘hey we’ve already gone over my resume in detail IN PERSON and you rejected me#but would you like to hire me for this OTHER JOB for more money and more responsibility that I only know about#Because you specifically asked me to apply?’#because it’s a VERY WEIRD BALANCE TO STRIKE#like I couldn’t phone it in completely? But I was aware that anyone who saw it has already read my cover letter for a worse job#like….what do you even say at that point???#I can’t tell if me getting at least one interview is a foregone conclusion or if they’re about to do the funniest and meanest thing possibl#they did seem to really like me and went out of their way to suggest I apply to this#I don’t know#again it’s a nice problem to have but it’s still AWKWARD

Can't sleep again. Thinking about how I don't like knight/prince(ss) as a trope. Besides the fact that it's boring to me. This isn't "discourse" or a call out or anything it's just a personal interpretation and analysis
while yeah there's nothing wrong with that level of power imbalance in fiction, these tropes always act like that's a cute thing which I just find to be. 😬 y'know. Referring to a character as a "pet" for the royal one without understanding that that's. not a great dynamic to have. The "don't call them toxic or problematic!" When the relationship is inherently not equal and can never be without issues, but this can't possibly be discussed because then the person who ships it is a bad person 🙃
and for someee reason still bitching about the "more obvious" power imbalances like enemies, who most of the time end up being MORE equal because they're the same person same situation different fonts
It's fine to me when it's used as an insult (something something loyalty) and then there's discussion of "you know you mean so much more to me than that", or when there's a Very Obviously Fucked Up imbalance that is Very Obviously Not Normal and yet the one that gets the short end of the stick is like "fuck this I don't care that you think you're better than me. Your power only exists because I give you it, so be very careful how you use it" (and when they use it wrong there are consequences that don't get magically forgiven)
If the one with less control isn't very very aware of how much power the other has over them and could exert if they wanted to (but also the fact that the relationship and its genuineness hinges on their agreement) it gets a bit too concerning for me. If there isn't a certain level of meta intertextual analysis and understanding of the way the very much dominant/submissive dynamic works then it's just. Not interesting and often frustrating
Edit: this should have said intra-textual ("in the text itself", which I apparently not a word) not inter-textual (between texts)
#was this about two specific characters from a certain Nintendo game? yeah#it's like. you guys are doing submission wrongggg you're creating sfw vanilla fifty shades#if there aren't conflicted feelings what's the point#there's a whole issue here i could write an essay on about how the d& s of b d s m became mainstream and normalized even in sfw settings#and how fiction isn't reality but it doesn't exist in a vacuum and your irl biases are 100% in the way you interact with the 'not real'#consciously or not#but like. i have other adult job stuff and adult schoolwork i need to do that actually impacts my life#I MISSED A TAG. THE ADHD STRIKES AGAIN#anyway after the tag about d&s I was going to say that's normalized but the *discussion* of it isn't. the boundries. the understanding that#it's not real and that dominance is much less in control than the one who is agreeing and cooperating

there is really something cruel and strange and fucked up about switching between thinking youre the center of the universe and thinking youre completely invisible 50 fuckin times a day. like do you have a god complex or an inferiority complex make up your mind
#the mental illness strikes again#yeah its that and like this crippling lonliness that has had me in a chokehold#pov you open the same 3 apps over and over again on repeat all day trying to see if anyone has messaged you or interacted with you at all#then you realize oh wait yeah. they all have lives and you dont. yeah that explains it#then you self loathe and pity for a bit and repeat the cycle#mad pathetic#and on top of that youre too fuckin sensitive so you take it all personal#even stupid jokes. yeah that stupid joke it hurt my feelings and for no reason at all#im not even really sad right now its just. so painfully frustrating that this has to be the normal for me#no matter how many times i seek help for it i get blown off#not to mention im *still* fucked up over not being able to go to the one person i relied on to help me when i was mentally unwell#though ive tried#but bringing up being mentally unwell gets me a sad face emoticon at best#and bringing up being physically unwell and that ive had to go to multiple doctors over the past few months is just. completely ignored#oh well#i am completely over that person but that doesnt mean getting ignored doesnt fucking hurt#anyways

It's interesting to note how the Tabris Origin, which involves a wedding, kidnapping and attempted sexual harassment, and fighting your way through an estate full of guards, is the Origin where gender plays a huge role in what story you experience. M!Tabris will always storm the castle coming to the rescue of his cousin and his betrothed, while F!Tabris will always have to fight her way out because the men in her life can't fully protect her (Nelaros dies, Soris literally hands her the sword, Cyrion is powerless to stop the abduction. Okay, this may be a little unfair to Soris who does fight side by side with Tabris and counsels caution the same way regardless of Tabris's gender). I'd go so far as to say that Tabris is the only Origin where the gender of your PC has a definite impact on the story.
TLDR to the rant in the tags: Tabris is constrained on all sides by being an elf, by their gender, in part by their family, and by society at large (both the Alienage and the wider city).
#bumble our guys are occupying my mind again. the origin defines their roles and experiences so#a lot has been said about the superficial equality of men and women in dragon age: they are equal from a legal point of view#both can become soldiers inherit or assume a position of political and social authority#but that's pretty much it#that experiment aside i think for the tabris story it's interesting. tabris is so contrained#don't go out of the alienage at night. don't anger the shem#don't carry weapons. don't insult them. live in squalor & misery with no hopes of social mobility. get married to a person you don't know#this happens to you because you are an elf. and this happens to you because you are playing as a man or a woman#the other origin where gendered violence might crop up is brosca and idk to what extent bc i haven't had much contact with f!brosca's story#but it would be just like beraht to make weird comments. aeducan gets a weird comment by trian too but that's it#but the alienage is a pressure cooker and the violence dealt unto its inhabitants has a perverse amount of nuance#unlike the circle which is another pressure cooker but a different one the alienage has a better life and more opportunities paraded in#*front of its inhabitants at every waking hour. the mages don't have that jarring contrast (they are reminded of how bad they have it in#*other ways but violence is much easier to normalize in closed communities. there is a reason uldred was able to stoke a rebellion after#*having been at ostagar. one taste of fresh air and that stuffy tower must've been hell awaiting. even wynne takes ger first chance to gtfo#the alienage however knows with striking clarity what it doesn't have. and that hurts. that stings. this ramble went way off track#but my main point is that tabris is constrained on all sides while at the same time having a better life dangled in front of their nose#*every single waking hour. no wonder their origin ends in massacre at their hands#the dam has broken loose. the water is finally cooking over and the pressure cooker explodes#tabris has a body count comparable to that of a seasoned criminal (brosca) and of a knight defending their invaded home (cousland)#which is freaking impressive if you ask me#dragon age#dao#dragon age origins#tabris#warden tabris#f!tabris#m!tabris#astala tabris

Silly Game Time: We are taking to the high seas as pirates ... and you're the captain!
Now, the Skull and Crossed Bones is a general classic for pirate flags, of course, but we need to personalize *your* flag so people know it's *you* who's looting their booty. Instead of those crossed bones, what does your skull have with it?
Hm... that's a tough one!
I'd be tempted to say like, a flower for kindness or a paintbrush for artistry, but I suppose in this theoretical scenerio I would be a pirate, not an artist, and a killer considering the skull, not a... spare-er ??
Assuming those things were the case... IDK, maybe I'd just go with like. Flowers anyways? Flowers growing out of the eye sockets ig?
#That's a tough one#I was sitting here like ''oh no how can i answer this in a way that will get me a good grade in Answering Asks-#something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve#I'm gonna get fail my Imaginary Senerios course!!''#lmao perfectionism strikes again... cute question tho!#ask#asks#ask game#anya rambles

[Start ID. A drawing of two scavengers from Rain World, one labelled Sanic and the other one Shrek. Sanic's fur is light brown, with darker extremities, a messy row of pale green spines down its back, and bright blue eyes. They sit contentedly, staring at the screen, with a couple grenades by its feet. Shrek has pale fur, a green head, hands, and feet, and brown eyes. It's facing to the right, with their arms splayed out and an explosive spear on their back. Beside each scavenger are a few woefully-compressed screencaps of their in-game appearance. End ID]
An ode to these silly beasts, who accompanied me on my second visits to Industrial and Chimney
#peridots-art#rain world#scavenger rain world#...usually only draw set characters of games and not. creatures. so that's new for me#absolutely love specbioing these guys though!! buggifying them scratches the right itch in my brain especially when they could reasonably#be buggy in canon!!#bugs#clarification on the ''shrek is maybe two guys'' thing ahead. first we'll argue for One Guy#1. both found in the same region at the same time 2. remarkably similar coloring and mannerisms (seemed to be the pack leader)#and now evidence supporting the two different guys theory:#1. travelled with a different pack of scavengers the second time vs when i found it 2. second time had slightly duller colors and noticably#longer horns (without the little gradient at the end)#so now you see why i didn't notice anything wrong until after reviewing the screenshots. BUT!!! secret third option!!!#the first one with the short horns was found first when i was using the entrance-to-industrial shelter#and the one i mostly relied on for reference was near the higher shelter. shrek numero dos. the canon shrek.#but i have a screenshot of shrek 1 in the place shrek 2 was found. hanging out with one of shrek 2's pack members no less.#ok now that that's ''settled''. don't let this all distract you from the fact that the simple act of SWITCHING TO THE SHADING LAYER#got me out of a four-month-long mental rut. i can't say that it was depression nor that i know anything about depression in the first place#but even if it wasn't very serious? it Sucked. even if it was just a nagging thought at the back of my mind my life was duller somehow#i started to feel a little unmotivated. lonely. anxious. like the days blend together. the things i liked weren't bringing as much joy#and all of that got worse recently. the main reason i haven't posted any art for like a month? art stopped being fun.#which is a TERRIBLE thing for someone like me who loves to draw so so much. so when everything that's been building up over the past months#just vanished completely? without warning? you better believe i teared up over a doodle of a scavenger for making me feel right again.#i'm overjoyed to be free of it. i'm hopeful again! i love myself again! i can fall in love with the world all over again!!!#i have no idea how this happened. but i have motivation and determination and i feel like i can change my life for the better now. if i try#maybe this was my normal but it's the striking opposite of what I've been feeling--i'm finally proud of my accomplishments! and of myself!!#which was something i couldn't say in earnest even before december.#and reader? i call you tag-wanderer for i have no way of knowing who you are. maybe a treasured mutual or maybe a stranger. but i love you.#and i hope you make your way out.#peridots-described

they were ordering cables today and they called one that's female on both sides "lesbian" and in my head I was like 'ok benefit of the doubt they don't HAVE to mean it in a homophobic way.. it's fine it's cool just as long as they don't call the male/male one-' "hey can you order two faggots too?" 😑😐
#I doubt those are the professional names for them#and they call the male/female ones 'gender changer' and immediately one guy said 'UGH I hate all that gender bullshit 😑'#so. um. fun at work /s#what if i quit. what if I quit. what if i just quit.#doddie redet#first time they said lesbian (lesbe) i thought i misheard. then i was like 'omg PLEASE don't mean it as a slur please please' but then they#said Schwuchtel and it was like... oh no... Lesbe being the normal word and the slur at the same time strikes again ✌️😔
