On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

i had assumed an arquebus was the size of a pistol, like a flintlock pistol maybe (especially because that's how it's depicted in his jr year artwork), but i got curious and looked it up and gang i cannot stress enough that this gun is, on average, larger than riz gukgak. this is an arquebus:

by even the most optimistic estimations, riz gukgak is four feet tall max. the average arquebus according to google (and gun geeks feel free to chime in if this is wrong) is about 4-5 feet long.
i had been picturing riz with an inconspicuous, easily concealed handgun that wouldn't raise any eyebrows, but no, riz's primary weapon is fully the same size as him, possibly even taller. and if you don't think that's goddamn hilarious then i don't know what to tell you
#stuff#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fhfy#riz gukgak#caveat yes yes i know there's probably some size conversion from real arquebus to fantasy arquebus or some other fantasy BS#to explain why riz is not in fact toting a riz-sized gun everywhere he goes#but it's much funnier for me to imagine he is#i guess nobody at aguefort would say shit about this big ass gun??#it's not like weaponry isnt ALLOWED at aguefort#but the mental image#really makes me wonder why arquebus is the weapon blm and murph went with#and i SUSPECT it's because it uses. crossbow stats? is that right?#and apparently arquebuses have historically been compared to bow related weapons#im miscommunicating this hang on#oh sike i actually understood it correctly#there's a whole section of the wikipedia page on arquebus dedicated to comparing it to bows#so in the sense that theyre both long range weapons i get it#anyway. riz gukgak is as tall as his gun. that's all i wanted to say

This Twitter MLP human redesign drama is a mess, leave me the fuck out of it.
#saw people posting my designs to put down other artists' designs saying that i'm the “correct way” of doing things#don't do that#i don't give a SHIT if people are redesigning these HORSES to be fat or “”“ugly”“” people they're all valid#this whole thing is so dumb just say “i don't like the art style” and move on#“hey op i spent 4 hours of time and effort to redraw your shitty redesign and show you how it's really done” you're fucking weird#you know that right? dedicating that much time to cash in on a hate trend when you could be creating something unique and original with lov#your insistence that human redesigns need to be attractive and symmetrical and anything deviating that is woke psy-op brainwashing#is fucking weird. saw an entire tweet reposting my designs listing off how i “got it right.” bullet point: “looks like real people”#the black fat pinkie design with braces that went viral looks more like a real person than any of my designs you asshole#or maybe you spent too much time in high school bullying people who look like that to notice#personal#delete later#do not use my art to belittle artists who've done nothing wrong this legit made me really angry today

i know plot convenience is a thing but i can’t stop thinking about the implications of jay finding bonzle in the fake monastery’s basement of all places. did he know it was there before he walked into the building? did his feet carry him there, subconsciously retracing old steps? did he wait there, knowing he was far from the fight, because his side of the fight wasn’t the one he truly believed in?
#i know jay didn’t particularly want to do any sort of work for the administration anyways (be that paperwork or capturing someone properly)#but i’m interested in how little he’s invested in the administration’s cause.#compared to the other agents who were hamming up the fight (which we all know jay to be more than happy to do)#he’s lacklustre. there’s no real force behind his threats.#despite the administration being all he’s known - he resists it. he hesitates on his orders.#because the part of him that dedicated his life to protecting people over and over again knows those orders aren’t right#life is more than sorting people like files and following orders from a shadow and wondering why lightning runs through his veins like bloo#okay i went a little off track there. anyways#grasping at straws even though there’s nothing to drink from#ninjago#jay walker#ninjago dragons rising#dragons rising#jay#jay ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago jay#key’s conversations#keyalysis#agent walker#the administration#text

when people say tim drake has no personality like oh you dont even know about the unwavering faith in a flawed cause you were loyal to long before being a part of?? 🤨
#real talk i dont get it when people hold 'oh hes the normal one' against him. like is that not interesting to you#his whole deal is repeatedly forgoing a normal life due to his dedication to his sense of right. cmon#if you saw me post this twice no you didnt. was giving myself a headache trying to proofread the verb tenses. im very tired and its very hot#still not sure its completely grammatically correct x#.log

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

You know Bakugou has an entire collection of All Might figures, but imagine the first time as a Pro-Hero that he sees one of himself. Maybe it’s in an arcade or a shop window, and he just knows he has to have it.
So he ends up bringing it home and placing it beside his favourite hero on his All Might shelf, because it’s a sign he’s finally achieving his dreams.
#I’m sobbing#like maybe he does have other heroes figures too#but he’s got an ENTIRE shelf dedicated to all might#because that’s his real hero#and so when he sees a figure of himself it’s like he gets emotional???#and then he starts thinking about all the kids who will be looking up to HIM? and will be buying/winning his figured#and they might have a whole wall of Dynamight figures like he has for All Might#omg but he thinks you’re SUCH a dork when you come home with your own Dynamight figure all excited#like you don’t have the real fucking thing in front of you right now#maybe you’re a little tipsy and you saw it in an arcade machine and knew you had to win it#so you carry it proudly on the train home when you do😭😂

Joe reaches above his head, pushing onto his toes, to put a clean frying pan on the top shelf, pulling his t-shirt up with the motion. There’s a flash of the dimples near Joe’s spine, at the small of his back—an unnecessarily sexy part of him, in Patrick’s opinion—holding Patrick’s attention. Patrick feels pulled to him from across the kitchen, unconsciously, fingers curling over hip bones, thumbs holding the hem of Joe’s shirt out of the way to get an eye full. He stares with wide, yearning eyes... Or: Patrick catches a glimpse of Joe’s back dimples, and he has to act up about it. Naturally.
top patrick/bottom joe nation i wrote a little bit of married/domestic flavoured smut inspired by joe's back dimples, hope u enjoy <3

#excuse me while i have a very selfish rant in the tags because i've been thinking about it for a while now and i need to get it out#i debated if posting about it or not but there's literally nobody who actually gets what i'm about to say because it's about good omens#and the only good omens people in my life are here on tumblr dkjfhgdg#but i've been feeling really conflicted about this whole situation (as i said... selfish rant)#i am not sure still how comfortable i am about happily engaging with the show and the fandom#not that there's anything wrong with still enjoying it but I MYSELF feel a bit icky. it's been tainted. my enjoyment of it isn't the same#yes it's still a story that's very dear to me and the cast is very dear to me and i am excited for the story's end#but it also bring on horrible thoughts of course because it reminds me of that fucking bastard so it's not like everything is just happines#and what's really rotting my brain right now is the fan animatic i was making... i always planned to come back to it#but then everything happened and now it's not something i want to dedicate so much time an effort to#because it comes with a very dark veil over it... but on the other hand i was incredibly proud of it and i was really REALLY excited#to finish it and share it with the fandom that's so wonderfully dear to me...#so i'm really REALLY struggling to accept both types of feelings right now... feelings that should be mutually exclusive but sadly aren't#one thing that fills me with so much joy also makes me feel like absolute shit at the same time#i very much doubt i'll ever finish and post that animatic now... maybe in the future i will try my hand at a different project#but that also makes me so sad because of the effort and love and pride that went into it already... it just feels like a reminder that#we also fell for the lies... and as i said VERY selfish rant... of course i'm not the victim here. i am nobody#but the feelings are there and it doesn't matter if i ignore them or think i shouldn't be feeling them... they're not gonna go away#so while i can accept that i'm not a victim in this situation and that nothing horrible happened to me... i can still be disappointed right#anyways that's my rant... i will have to look at a piece of art that i poured my heart into and just lock it in a drawer forever#while a veil of horribleness covers everything that has to do with good omens forever...#and of course the reminder that real people have suffered an absolute nightmare of a situation that i could never even begin to imagine#so like... yeah... i'm having a lovely afternoon lol#angel talks#personal

Uniform redesign i was bored after losing motivation on the last drawing.
Also some other hc like the robes are made out of rayon or smth lightweight n cheap idk
#my art#harry potter#art#ARCHIVISTTest… Test… Test… 1#1... 2... 3... Right#My name is Jonathan Sims. I work for the Magnus Institute#London#an organisation dedicated to academic research into the esoteric and the#paranormal. The head of the Institute#Mr. Elias Bouchard#has employed me to replace the previous Head Archivist#one Gertrude Robinson#who has recently passed away.#I have been working as a researcher at the Institute for four years now and am familiar with most of our more significant contracts and#projects. Most reach dead ends#predictably enough#as incidents of the supernatural#such as they are – and I always emphasise there are#very few genuine cases – tend to resist easy conclusions. When an investigation has gone as far as it can#it is transferred to the Archives#Now#the Institute was founded in 1818#which means that the Archive contains almost 200 years of case files at this point.#Combine that with the fact that most of the Institute prefers the ivory tower of pure academia to the complicated work of dealing with#statements or recent experiences and you have the recipe for an impeccably organised library and an absolute mess of an archive. This isn’t#necessarily a problem – modern filing and indexing systems are a real wonder#and all it#would need is a half-decent archivist to keep it in order. Gertrude Robinson was apparently not that archivist.#From where I am sitting#I can see thousands of files. Many spread loosely around the place

my most toxic dream is to be one of those artists whose take on a specific piece of media gets so popular that a notable subset of the fanbase just frothing-at-the-mouth hates me for no reason. i’m talking there’ll be viral textposts like ‘[trend i started/popularized] is RUINING this fandom’ and all the replies are ‘sksksj you can just say t*psy’ that’s when i’ll know i’ve made it
#mumbling#you know when you’re popular enough that the really dedicated haters just Have to say something but can’t get anything specific to stick#so like people who have only heard of you in passing have heard neutral to positive things#and your biggest real sin is your monopoly in the fandom marketplace of ideas#that’s the dream right there#it’s a bit of a fine line to walk bc you only want to piss off the type of haters who don’t know how to do anything else#you want anyone with an inquisitive mind and a creative spirit to be able to look into any issues and realize you’re actually just chill

You may say to yourself things such as "wow, mantis god, you seem really behind for bugtober this year", and you would be right, but what you can't see behind the scenes is that we are actually being surprisingly productive in the hours of the day that are not dedicated to school, it's just that some months ago we happen to have thought to ourself "well, we enjoy learning things, so maybe we should take a hack at school since the grant is decent, get some actual certification on our resume so we can get a real job" and then forgot that the reason we don't already have official certification is because formal schooling historically has had worse effects on our overall mental health than almost literally anything else in our life, and now that's eating 4-6 hours of our life per day with an extra few hours of recovery after which makes it unfortunately difficult to work on art.
#we speak#negative chatter#we are saying “almost literally” because of common or garden memory loss btw. it is possible something was worse#but if so it no longer exists in our memory and that actively gets worse under stress so it'll be a few months before we can remember#the stuff leading up to it this time definitely didn't help but god nothing to get us Getting Worse like formal schooling#our whumptober pre-writing and planning weighs in at more than 45k words right now#and we are unfortunately aware that the reason we are struggling to finish in a timely manner#is because something like sixty percent of our mental real estate has been forcibly dedicated to keeping us alive#which as we're sure you can understand is unfortunately not very efficient for artistic endeavors#anyways something something long road of reminders of why we have been Unemployed for so long

How does it feel having a fandom wiki of colorquest
I didn't know there was one!!!? That's so cool? It must be little annoying to the editors whenever I forget something & change it lol.
Seriously though that's so neat, I'll have to peek at it some time.
#i looked it up and entered the home page and theres a lot of pages listed o_o!#i dont got time for dat right now but at some point.......#now i just wish i could settle on a medium to share the story so things could be a little more clear#anybody whos followed me for long enough knows i always jump around. comic. game. written. VN.#i just get so shy about my writing and overthink it!!! guh!!!!!#okay anyway. really honored to know people are dedicated enough to make a whole wiki about CQ for real#🥺🖤...
