A couple of video essays about Fear & Hunger finally convinced me to do something that years of hype and praise have not managed to make me do - I'm going to read Berserk.

#i think i was mainly holding off on reading it bc 'brutal and depressing' was not the type of story i gravitated to as a teen #as a result mentally categorising berserk as not for me even as my tolerance for dark and gritty stories increased as an adult #it wasn't until getting into (videos about) fear & hunger and hearing people comparing the game to berserk #that i had the thought 'oh shit i might actually really enjoy berserk'#personal #did i like a normal person buy the first volume or at least read the manga online first to see if i'd like it?#no i decided to spend a disgusting amount of money on vol 1 of the deluxe edition instead #(which the way the uk bookstores are pricing it is more expensive than just buying the three volumes compiled in it individually)#why?#1. because i'm stupid #2. because it's very pretty and i like owning beautiful things/art #if only i also liked being fiscally responsible 🤢

hello 911 why are all the LO volumes classified as grades 6-12 except for the newest volume which is more appropriately categorized as grades 9-12

please no

#and no i'm not trying to be all 'think of the children'#but it also squicks me out to think of the potential of 11-12 year olds learning about sex through the onscreen rape scene in vol 1 #and also minthe verbally abusing hades during sex #esp when these categories are also meant for PARENTS not just kids #the parents are the ones buying the books and being told that these books are appropriate for their kids #like why is the trial arc volume the one that gets the age bump LOL #what about the trial arc is more “mature” than the rest of it lmao #“kids under 12 won't understand courtroom proceedings” ok first of all the courtroom proceedings in LO are completely made up and stupid #but also the trial arc isn't appropriate for kids but all the other shit in LO leading up to it is ??? hello ???#i know i'm probably blowing it way out of proportion but ughgh it's still ick #know your audience jfc #on the flipside it's really funny because it goes to show that anyone older than 18 is probably too old for LO lmaoooo #makes me think of all the ppl who talk about how they liked LO when they were younger and then later realized how gross it is #lore olympus critical #anti lore olympus #lo critical

your personal relationships will never be as complicated and messed up as my parasocial bond with taylor swift

#meg talks #heard so long london in public and 1) why would you play that in a café and 2) experienced indescribable rage and sorrow at the same time #which is hilarious because it CANNOT be that serious lol get it together @ me #?????!??#but i love not being able to play some of her stuff (sll/renegade) without feeling immensely disappointed #like girl...I'M pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free HAHAHAHA #but it's literally not that serious i do not know her personally lmaooaoao i love being stupid about things that should not matter teehee #is it disappointing to see your childhood idol deviate from who you thought they were? maybe. but I'll cope lol it's literally not that deep

Another thing that makes kaladin so painfully relatable is how much his mental illness hides his personality, because between depressive episodes and trauma he's this sarcastic little shit that smiles a lot at his friends and then the depression gets to him and all that disappears

#I'm dreading book 4 so much #my depression got worse while reading it the first time 😭#also I don't remember exactly what but multiple times he says stuff that i think too often and having a fictional character say that l #ridiculous stuff caused by mental illness made me feel even worse #it helped! because it hit me how stupid it is and that i should avoid that type of thinking at all costs! but didn't i feel like shit for a #while #now i almost finished book 1 and book 2 has Shallan's past 😬😬😬😬😬#can't wait to read again about her horrible childhood locked home with a violent father that take out his rage at her on others #that won't make me feel horrible at all!#it's not like i wasn't almost crying just at her getting an anxiety attack at the beginning #....these books feels awfully aimed at me fjskdks #the stormlight archive #cosmere

rhydian morris really was THE original pathetic white boy simp of my childhood, wasn't he?

#started rewatching for the ☆nostalgia☆#literally episode one rhydian where he's so isolated and scared he's a monster #all he can do is look maddy in the eyes and say “i'm so sorry” because he doesn't know what he is or how to control himself #world's saddest looking man #wolfblood #rhydian morris #he's also so in love it's stupid #and fully aware that his girlfriend makes bad decisions #twin idiots #1 het couple right there #mine

pros of being mostly immune to online impulse purchases: I can save my money and use it on more necessary things, like rent and groceries

cons of being mostly immune to online impulse purchases: I don't get to have The Thing

#sobbing crying etc etc. I'm okay just dumb #ordered a custom thing but the colors ended up looking different from how I thought they would. 0 dead 1 dying of Stupid About It (me)#it's still very cool in its own right and it was Expensive for us. it was just me fucking up and choosing the wrong color...#and there's no real way to request a different version without just. buying a new one basically #but the site is still having a sale and it's chewing at me so bad right now. but it's not something I can afford to impulse buy #and even if somebody did just plop a big donation/order a big commission etc etc right now I still couldn't justify it #because there are other things I should take care of first #instead of replacing something that's not technically broken. it's literally just not the color I thought it would be but aaaUUUUUUUGHHHH.#I'm just mad and sad and tired and stressed and should go to bed and stop thinking about it. it's fine. it's literally fine.#just kicking myself for it and about a billion other tiny stupid things right now.#storm speaking

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!!#Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS.#Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!!#SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow???#been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)#dbtag

"[Elizabeth Woodville] was the only member of [Crown Prince Edward of Westminster's] original 1471 council not already on the king’s council and her name headed the list of those appointed as administrators in Wales during Edward’s minority. [She remained on the council after it was expanded in 1473 and granted significant new governing and judicial powers]."

"In 1478 Prince Richard [of Shrewsbury] married the Mowbray heiress. Like his elder brother he had a chancellor, seal, household and council to manage his estates. His council, like that of Prince Edward, comprised the queen [Elizabeth Woodville] and a group of magnates and bishops, few of whom were Woodville supporters [...] It was Elizabeth who mattered, for Richard resided with her and Rivers treated his affairs as their own."

-J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Michael Hicks, Richard III and his Rivals: Magnates and their Motives in the Wars of the Roses

#good👏🏻 for 👏🏻 her #historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #15th century #english history #princes in the tower #my post #Reminder that these sort of additional official positions in governance were very unusual (unprecedented) for late medieval English queens #Elizabeth's formal appointment in royal councils (+ authority over her sons) should not be ignored or downplayed in the slightest bit #It should instead be considered one of the most defining aspects of her queenship that spanned over a decade and lasted right till the end #& should also be highlighted as one of the most vital topics of discussion when it comes to broader queenly power in late medieval England #I think it also says a lot about Elizabeth's relationship to Edward IV and the regard he seems to have had for her capabilities #'The only member of the original 1471 council not already on the king’s council' that speaks VOLUMES. Once again: good for her.#It's also really frustrating how some historians (Katherine J. Lewis; AJ Pollard; Laynesmith etc) have incredibly lopsided perspectives on #Elizabeth that fundamentally *do not work* when you remember these actual facts and what they reveal about her power and influence #I'm also still baffled at Lynda Pidgeon's claim that 'Elizabeth's influence with Edward IV was less than with family members who were #part of the king's council or that of her son Edward prince of Wales'. Like???????#First of all - we *already know* that Elizabeth had the most personal influence with Edward and was the one he trusted the most #The case in 1480 & his own will in 1475 (where he referred to her as the one 'in whom we most singularly place our trust') make both clear #Second of all - ELIZABETH WAS LITERALLY ON HER SONS' COUNCILS HERSELF. HER NAME HEADED THE GODDAMN LIST. How have you missed this????????#It's actually bizarre because it completely ignores the fact that 1) Late medieval queens *weren't* generally given positions like this?#If we accept Pidgeon's (false) interpretation we have to claim that NONE of them were influential at all #Which I'm pretty sure nobody agrees with? So why have I seen people agreeing with Pidgeon's FALSE take on Elizabeth based on that lmfao?#2) Elizabeth WAS in fact given such positions. She genuinely was given unusual authority and was an Exception™ rather than the rule #Forget emphasizing her atypical role - Pidgeon has outright erased it in an effort to diminish her #She does the same thing when talking about Elizabeth's role after Edward IV's death and it's equally ridiculous and incorrect #There's stupidity and then there's willful misreading & rewriting of history according to your own imagination. This fits the latter

my princess nonsense is being encouraged watch ouyt imabout to be eneaabled

OK WHATF ATHAT'S SO CUTE I HAD TO MAKE IT i know realistically there's little to no chance that rei DOESN'T know how to work heels 🤣 BUT IMAGINE.....ING.... YAKUMO GENTLY GUIDING REI IN HEELS, WEEKS BEFORE THE BIG GALA AND HAVING NONE OF HIS NORMAL FEAR OF PHYSICAL TOUCH BC HIS [TEACHER MODE] IS OVERRIDING HIS INSECURITY

#rei looking directly at the camera like why are you subjecting me to this. i do not need any of this. i know how to do it #rei wearing stilettos the size of your head so he becomes ur very tall bird goth gf #you know how yakumo gets when he instructs someone on how to cook something #he becomes confident and just tells ppl how to do stuff without his usual amount of stutter and secondguessing #i'm gonna pretend that after his stiletto training in misty vale he gains a TINY MOLECULE of confidence due to experience #like [i can help you if you've never done it before?]#honestly i can't imagine this scenario happening because i am so SURE that rei can walk in heels HAHAHA even tho nothing has proven that #SOMETHING COME PROVE ME WRONG SO MY DELUSIONS CAN SLIDE CLOSER TO POSSIBILITY #anyway even if rei didn't know how to wear heels #would he ever mention it? would yakumo ever learn of it?#rei would probably be all . i don't need to wear heels. they can't even see them under the dress. i'll wear my practical shoes #but if he can't get away with that and will be forced to wear heels at the party...#maybe he'll go [meh. i'll figure it out] and just not wear them until the day of the dance #at which point his feet will hurt after 20 minutes and for the whole night he takes any chance to sit down #rei can be frequently spotted on SOME surface SOMEWHERE in the palace. sitting all splayed out and uncaring of propriety #because he is in PAIN and these shoes are STUPID and why do people wear them for ANYTHING . Royals are so IMPRACTICAL #yakumo keeps trying to avoid heels for the dance because he doesn't want to be any taller than he already is #i bet there's a full convo about it between him and eiden #eiden trying to reassure him that if he wants to wear heels then he shouldn't let others' perception stop him from doing so #but if he genuinely doesn't want to wear them then that's ok too #eiden craning his neck up at yakumo in heels like you're my pretty princess 1-2 heads taller than me your height doesn't matter 🥰#i'm now torn. yakumo and rei both wearing heels now? in order to stay at similar heights?#or. rei starting out with heels. getting tired of them. going barefoot for the rest of the night lol #yakumo and rei still dancing in their ballgowns together but a much shorter rei leads a yakumo in heels #yes. yes this is the vision #yakurei #replies #nu carnival yakumo #nu carnival rei

New Song Day!

The song that bewitched me ⬇️

I was initially gonna call this "holy shit! you're unwell!" but who's that for? The losers who said I wasn't a real metalhead if I couldn't identify songs they liked in the first 5 seconds? Fuckem

Notes I made for this zine yesterday. Who is this dickhead? We listen to music for ourselves, not for Spotify wrapped!!

i think i might actually need to get tested for ADHD because it's embarassing how often i go to a shop, pay at the self checkout, set the item down to sort out my bags, and then completely forget it's there and leave without it

#fizzypoison #i've done this several times including today and its so fucking stupid #the item was cheap but i'm determined to do the 1 hour journey to get back to the store and ask if i can have it back #because i won't be able to live with myself if i don't

Zelda fandom stop misinterpreting Zelda's "I'm still your Zelda" challenge

#1. Hylia died and Zelda is mortal now 2. I'm still your Zelda means she still cares about him AS A FRIEND. AS MORE THAN HYLIA'S HERO #she feels bad for 'using him' BUT SHE DIDN'T REALLY. SHE'S CONFLICTED. SHE'S A VICTIM TOO #reading comprehension is SHIT in fandom #it's both her feeling sad that she unwilling made Link into the hero because she became friends with him BUT it's her saying that doesn't #mean I was never your friend!!! it doesn't mean she was plotting the whole time and she's evil. neither does it mean she's completely #innocent because she IS Hylia and she DOES feel guilt about it but she's ALSO zelda and she KNOWS THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY #WHAT WAS THE OTHER OPTION. LET DEMISE DESTROY EVERYTHING? LINK KNOWS THIS TOO AND IT'S A SACRIFICE HE WOULD MAKE OVER AND OVER AND OVER #AGAIN FOR HER. BECAUSE SHE'S HIS FRIEND. SHE'S STILL HIS ZELDA. AND SHE MAKES HER SACRIFICE FOR HIM AS ZELDA AND AS HYLIA #SHE GIVES UP HER AUTONOMY TOO BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS THE DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING #ZELDA FANDOM UNDERSTAND NUANCE AND STOP FUCKING DEMONIZING HYLIA/SWS ZELDA #sorry. I reached my threshold of stupid posts and need to rant again 💕
