#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#lan xichen#You can practically hear LXC's emotions vacuum sealing back into his body when LWJ tells him about wanting to bring someone back to Gusu.#This *is* a confession of both having feelings for someone else and also and admittance of terror at such feelings.#And honestly - can you blame LXC? Knowing how to respond to people in emotional turmoil like this is a skill that few manage to master.#There is a part of him that is so genuinely happy that his brother has fallen for someone!#And there is a part that acknowledges that LWJ needs to come to his own conclusions about this all.#Hence the extremely restrained reactions! He is so in his brother's corner that he's accidently clipped through the wall into another room.#Sadly that's how it goes sometimes...We want to be there for people in the best way. We give them space and hope for the best.#But space can leave someone isolated and alone. It heals some emotions but it makes others fester.#The fact that LWJ is at the point he's open about what he's feeling (even a little bit) means that it's a Big Deal.#LCX is just as bad with his own emotions. He only knows how to keep things in his own heart down.#There isn't anything he could have said. There *were* better things to say but does he have the capacity? No.

Got once again told that I was "good at making conversation" and had "people and communication skills"
and that is the biggest lie I ever heard
so a girl will end up writing some sort of "practical guide to making conversation, by a recovering agoraphobic".
But also. If you need a "how to people when no social skills" guide right now, my absolute no bullshit guide is The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook (2018, 3rd ed), esp chap 8 and 10. Includes: how long is appropriate to look at someone in the eyes? What are good conversation topics for your neighbors, your colleagues, your boss, your date? How to safely practice social skills/conversation? How to handle shaking/blushing/sweating/nervous stuttering? How is talking to a group different from talking to one person? How to gracefully end a conversation? How to ask for a change at your work schedule? How to start getting better at it *progressively* without being overwhelmed?
It's not a feel good self help/self improvement book, it is not a magic remedy with secret formula, it is more of a "let's learn a new language", with homework and notes to take. Give it a try, it is very easy to find it online
#social anxiety#you will not magically develop social skills!#but you can absolutely get better!#the book is also a good ref if you dont have social anxiety and just want to improve your people skills#a girl makes no money out of this book ok#it just was the best thing for me when I needed a “how to people” that was not some feel good “just be yourself hun!”#social skills

So funny in all this Ansbach drama (I support peepaw he never did anything wrong in his entire life (ya know except for missing that kill shot on Miq but I digress)) Varré is catching mad strays
Entirely justified strays, but
“Ansbach isn’t a creepy cult scout like Varré is” V true
“Ansbach isn’t crazy enough to kill a dynasty dissenter like Varré would” quite literally tru
“Ansbach is clear of mind and perfectly sane, not anything like Varré” debatable (only slightly on Varré’s end) but tru
Varré gets no peace, eternally the kicked dog of the dynasty 😭😭
#mapple blog#elden ring#ramblings#mohgwyn dynasty#ansbach#pureblood knight ansbach#Varré#elden ring ansbach#elden ring varré#elden ring varre#white mask varre#white faced varre#mohg#Mohgwyn#dynasty haters just mad that we have the best faction#like yeah we’re a blood cult but mohg prolly had balls to the walls debaucherous parties#also I love you Varré no one could make me hate you#ansbach is literally the most moral chara in Elden Ring#like seriously people need their eyes or comprehension skills checked

the training montage in crossroads re-ignited a headcanon i had of geralt waking up and doing gymnastics, performing kickflips and mid-air spins around on a fencepost outside an hour before sunrise to ‘limber up,’ and bleary-eyed dandelion wrapping himself up in a blanket to be like "heyyy... what the hell are you doing 💖"
#if you're wondering what kind of moves he's doing he's standing on a fencepost and doing your typical flexibility stretches#but alternating between reps of stretches with kickflips from one post to the other#like ciri training in kaer morhen#i'm not going to lie witchers are cool but fandom ruined them a bit for me and now crossroads has given me that childlike wonder back#because fandom heard 'physical ability and stamina' and did you know what with it#but the agility and precision of witchers remain so underrated. as part of the deconstruction of the superhuman trope#geralt doesnt really show off as much in the books and does cool stuff only when needed but#like when (mentioned) he hit the rat in the darkness with his thrown fork... as a party trick#and killing renfri's men in the market at blaviken... and killing the scoia'tael on thanedd#and RUNNING ALONG THE BRIDGE on the battle of the bridge#and the nilfgaardians were amazed and they WERE AMAZED AS THEY DIED!!!!!!!!#and killing rience's mercenaries who didn't know who they were fighting so they were like hey what the fuck... what the fuck#i'm literally back to witcher 101 basics here. nothing interesting to contribute but like a little boy i am just smiling and saying#'dude geralt of rivia is soooo cool he can like fight a bunch of guys with his sword'#half of me wants to seek deeper themes and half of me is just like YOOO GERALT SO COOL !!#listen... there is a time to plant a time to reap#a time to analyze and a time to geek#i should probably just watch a bunch of ballet or best of gymnastics comps and i'll find what i'm looking for#also sorry CROSSROADS OF RAVENS SPOILERS artamon dying was a hilarious moment i know it was like oooh this will have consequences#but it was nice to have the evil antagonist get merked in the sme chapter as he's fucking introduced#and not even by mature experienced geralt but by some literal eighteen year-old who he tried pulling a fast one on#1) i was happy that sapkowski didn't drag it out terribly. this was humorous and refreshing after in season of storms#2) geralt almost riding off but having a feeling to go back... listen i know it's so cliche and it's giving lady of the lake chapter 4#where he eavesdrops in the caves under castle zubarran and just happens to hear stefan skellen reveal that vilgefortz was in castle stygga#but it also was satisfying to me because after reading the hussite trilogy#where reynevan (stupid and young man; like geralt here) DOES NOT LEARN after several. SEVERAL lessons#i was honestly worried for a second that we were going to get a reynevan moment. but no. because this is geralt and not reynevan#and seeing geralt develop critical thinking skills in real time was not only satisfying but a bit funny#and yes nostalgiabaiting me#like omggggg yesss his detective skills yesss that's so geralt of him

Bucky as a congressman quickly finds how incredibly slow and quite ineffective bureaucracy and diplomacy can be to getting things done and if i remember right bucky says in frustration that everything is closed at 4oclock on friday (that day?) and nothing will happen until monday. so I love the idea that hes like in the congress trenches all week trying to represent brooklyn well and also get slime bag val removed for unauthorized and unethical human experimentation (with which he is personally quite well acquainted) and then the weekend comes around and hes like well. ive got 2 days to smash some skulls and get the dirt i need to come back monday with a laundry list of evidence and witnesses of val's corruption to tie this up nicely!
#His big ideas are what got him elected okay lol he's a new yorker to the core#ofc it's not so great as he hopes but like yeah that's him nothing goes his way#but i looove this thought that his idea was take the weekend when the congress floor is closed to use his distinct skills to get everything#they need to walk in like a boss monday morning and throw her in jail#he's doing HIS BEST#I didnt like the idea of him trying to be a politician at first but now im like yessss baby you can do it!! dont take this from him#not great that he just starts working with val instead#but yk. he's trying#bucky barnes#thunderbolts#thunderbolts spoilers#marvel

stg, being an enjoyer of jane twdg is like being forced into an expert-level course on the way misogyny manifests in video game spaces.
god forbid a woman be complex or difficult or provably mischaracterized (see tags) at the end of her arc to service the culmination of a man’s storyline.
#“kenny was harrowed by loss in his family” so was jane. that is part of them literally being foils.#“kenny teaches clem more!” literally untrue a lot of clem’s combat style is rooted in what jane taught her (targeting the knees & basically#everything clem knows about knife combat- jane is also mirrored with lee in this sense as like was previously stated knife combat later goe#on to become a major element of how clem fights only outweighed by her use of firearms)#she teaches clem the gut trick & we see the innovative thinking that comes with being more independent & proactive influence the way clem#handles sticky situations & deals with feeling disempowered. like this is going to sound odd but the fact that her behaviour mirrors jane#at her best (even though her relationship with aj is more maternal the way she approaches him much more as an equal & capable of holding#agency over his own life is much more reminiscent of the way she was treated by jane & luke positively + the rest of the adults negatively#than how kenny or even lee treated clem [though lee did start to view her this way after the train] + her people reading skill.) & at her#worst (isolating herself + becoming cold + the fact she is [based on player choice] willing to leave aj behind for both their survival +#struggling with her need for community vs her sense of distrust in their lasting stability + her tendency to be unfeelingly pragmatic to a#fault except when it comes to aj + the fact that clem- at her worst is self-serving & somewhat uncaring in comparison to kenny’s possessive#hot-headedness etc) indicates that on some level- regardless of a player’s second season ending- clem considered jane to be a better#behavioural role model- this isn’t to say kenny was unimpactful but rather that his impact was different- where behaviourally we see elemen#of lee luke jane & even carver in clem’s later behaviour kenny’s impact is more so that of a cautionary tale- somebody clem cared for who#she witnessed lose himself entirely to his worst character flaws due to an inability to cope with the world she now lives in- something he#even admits to her in multiple endings iirc. kenny becomes the fate clem must strive against at all costs.#similar can be said of the ending where you go with jane regarding how it analogies clem’s fears & low self worth as a result of being#unable to maintain what she had with aj (in a manner that mirrors jane’s story in that she’s choosing to leave behind a living relative due#to no longer being able to be what they need- again depending on player choice*)#*my exact memory of the third season is hazier tbh. iirc it is dependent on player choice whether she is complacent with the decision to#make her leave the new frontier.#like the way the ending was handled was sloppy & jane was mischaracterized as a result of being shoved into a conflict that we know for#certain was not intended to go to her. calm down & just enjoy your man without being weird & misogynistic dear god.)#(also if you like clem & jane you will like holly robinson & selina kyle dc)#twdg jane#jane twdg#twdg

had a really good conversation about batman that led into comparing him with iron man recently
and it really struck me how fundamentally they're such similar characters - both are billionaire orphans who use their tech to help fix a broken world - but the most significant difference is which side of their character is the "real" one
is it the rich playboy or the masked superhero? for iron man, tony stark is the real one, the suit is just something he puts on for convenience - everybody knows who's under the helmet and that's perfect for him because iron man is tony stark
but for batman? the masked superhero, the detective and the vigilante is his real self. bruce wayne is really just a mask he wears when it's useful, but really batman isn't bruce wayne. bruce wayne is *batman*
#ik this is a lukewarm take at best but hey#also on my batman bullshit for the first time since I was like 12#and ohhhhhhhhh boy having media anaylsis and critical thinking skills make batman so much bettee for me#the themes!!! the themeeeeesssss!!!!#I might make more of these but honestly#I've got lots of thoughts but not the words to articulate then properly here#what tumblr really needs is a feature to bounce off someone else in rapid fire conversation that's almost incomprehensible from the outside#but that you leave feeling enlightened#batman#bruce wayne#tony stark#iron man#my batman bullshit

What if i learned how to make tiktoks and instagram reels purely to spread the pro tamlin agenda?? like i dont need another activity BUT-
#I wanna do content creation as a hobby in the future (I play minecraft religiously and i might as well get something from it)#and like.. Idk i need something to keep me entertained while my grandparents are visiting#(i love them but they are so draining to be around)#I just want to point out the lack of critical thinking skills and reading skills and how that negatively impacts you as a reader#and Tamlin is a GREAT character to do that with#its not just because i like being right but i also want to show that you can have fun reading while reading critically#and if i can get at least one person to be AWARE of that that would be cool#big fan of critically reading and analyzing the media does not mean you can’t have fun#and that you should always been aware of what your consuming as to not get to quote lost in the sauce#anyway i may splice up one of my bigger acotar posts for smth so if yall have suggestions on which post of mine may be best lemme know :33#anything tamlin related always feels like a group project as theres only like a dozen of us here#acotar#pro tamlin#arson yaps#tamlin#a court of thorns and roses

I’ve been thinking of Kung Lao, not just MK1 but generally as a whole, and how he’s always pushed aside—number two. In some ways nothing is ever really his. Liu Kang, his best friend, becomes a god and goes onto to make a different timeline and stay there, and before that he got to be Earthrealm’s champion(in mk11 Liu Kang seemed like everything anyone EVER talked about with him). And of course it’s beyond that too: his name isn’t even his(“descendant of the great Kung Lao”), and his destiny and goals seemed to be based a lot on something predetermined for him, it’s a bit tragic.
#goddddd kung lao if only you weren’t constantly compared to people#your own family for God’s sake#first your great ancestor then your best friend#you wouldn’t need that faux persona#it’s soooo upsetting how despite all the bragging it’s obvious he doesn’t see himself as skilled as he should be compared to the rest#is this projection?#maybe#anyway back to your regularly scheduled tags#mk#mortal kombat#mk1#kung lao#mk1 kung lao#mk11 kung lao#just kung lao#I wont count liu kang in this this isn’t about him(for once/funny)#mk11

Akam Princess Mononoke AU with Shuuichi as Ashitaka and Rei as San. That is all
#^^^ lying. I've had Thoughts™ about it but also it feels more like the kind of AU that's best drawn and I don't have that kind of skill#Gonna yap a little bit in the tags. Might make it into a proper post at a later date#OTP: divorce of the century#furuya rei#akam#akai shuichi#dcmk#But yes. Shuuichi as Ashitaka (peak aim guy; got cursed in the first five minutes; leaves his family behind to pursue a new goal)#The sister that sends him off (against the law by the way) is so Masumi. To me. She gives him a swag talisman#Shuukichi would also break the rules but more covertly imo. He maybe sneaks out and waves to Shuuichi as he departs#God. Please picture Shuuichi going “Let me through. I'm warning you” and proceeding to accidentally behead a whole ass guy with an arrow#AFTER he accidentally chopped off a dude's arms. God fucking bless#ALSO HI. HELLO. DID YOU KNOW ASHITAKA CANONICALLY RIDES A RED ELK (fictional species)#AND THAT PEOPLE REMARK MULTIPLE TIMES HOW PECULIAR “that stranger who rides a crimson animal” IS#Red elk for Akai......... Heh. Yakkul you will always be famous to me#And then. Rei as San. Thrown to the wolf god as an offering. Taken in and raised as her child instead#Thang who hates humans sosososososo much. Shuuichi doesn't even need to do anything to earn it. Explode#Also because I love making everything worse: what if the wolf fur San (& therefore Rei) wears was what's left of Moro's third pup#Who was killed by the humans years ago. & in the end his pelt was made into a cape for Rei bc like hell they'd leave his body to the humans#It keeps Rei much warmer and also helps considering he took that death harder than anyone else. Anyway what if he used to call that pup Hiro#Moro's pups are canonically unnamed apart from San. But what if I did whatever I wanted forever. And what if there used to be 3 instead of 2#Also..... Lol. Lmao even. Moro........ Moro(fushi)..... Heh. It fits. I can kill him in every universe🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 <- literally shaking#I love this movie so fucking much. By the way. The themes... The ending... THE ENDING. AUGH#“I like you but I can't forgive humanity”/“that's fine. Let's learn to live side by side. I'll visit when I can” what if I ended it all#If I ever commission akam art it's going to be the Princess Mononoke AU. Bless#dcmk au
