#Honestly I kinda feel like reclaiming slurs is pointless#Like if it can still hurt you when said by the wrong person#Then what have you reclaimed?#It quite literally retains all the qualities of a slur#It's offensive and hurtful when said so what are we doing exactly?#Maybe I just don't get it#But I've been thinking about it lately and I dunno#I'm not saying that people who are affected by a certain slur can't say it amongst themselves#But does it really accomplish anything to say it with your friends when your enemies can still hurt you with it?#The whole concept of reclaiming is taking power away from the word#But that has literally never happened lmao#Slurs retain their offense#The power is still there

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with
but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."
#i dunno i've been thinking about grief lately#and i think the nature of humanity is everyone's grieving something#it might not always be as straightforward as the death of a loved one - sometimes it is#but sometimes you're grieving a life you never got to live#the person you used to be#hell an old toy you just realised you lost years ago and are never going to get back#we're all just a little bit sad all the time#and i think looking at the world like that makes it a lot more friendly place#because everyone is someone who needs a bit of comfort - or just someone to say hey its okay to be sad and angry and confused#and when you're finally ready to let whatever you're grieving go the world will be a happier place#and you'll find a new thing to grieve because there's always something to be a little bit sad about#but the world keeps getting better for every one you get through and every friend who helps you through it#and sometimes you just need to throw a dumb joke in there at the end#that's what it means to be human#the good place#tgp

Oh.
If you ever wanted to know what Yonny looks like when he's falling asleep/sleeping, the comic's got you covered.
(Source)
#pikmin#yonny#yonny pikmin#pikmin comic#no sir. i don't like that.#personal updates: i've been severely depressed (again). it started about 3 days ago#i dunno where it came from. (well it's because it's June but i didn't think it was gonna be THIS bad)#i was feeling pretty good when i was making the character refs#then BANG. Max depression. It's made me play ACNH like mad again to lose myself in it.#but even then i feel anxiety while i play it. i haven't even really checked tumblr in days#i'm trying to pull myself back together#but i still feel pretty terrible#and i don't know when or if it's gonna get better#anyway. since i've been playing so much on my switch lately#i've noticed that almost all my switch friends are playing the TTYD remake#how are y'all liking it?

I thought newgrounds died years ago. Pleasantly surprised to see it's still around
i haven't used it since middle school to play demented flash games and watch animations, i was also surprised to know it survived the flash purge lol. a lot of people are recommending it though and it never hurts to have yet another platform to fall back on. i didn't even know it was a regular art site either tbh 🥴
#ask#anonymous#anon#newgrounds#it has a post limit that i just hit lol#fifty posts in one day is too many#it always has kind of an edgy vibe in my mind though so i never made an account even though i've been hearing about it the last#couple years with all the other social medias fucking Failing artists the way they've been#i don't think my art really suits the website but hey fuck around find out. maybe it's fine. i dunno. i dont even use it how would i know#So Now I'm Using It And We'll See#spending lots of time uploading art to new websites lately between sheezy art and now newgrounds

Ok I gotta get this out of my brain, work with me here ok?
Real quick, one caveat. My Greek mythology is rusty at best so I'm basing this purely off of Epic.
Talking about the Thunder Saga, and more specifically the Scylla song. In the previous song 'Suffering' we learn that Odysseus knows about Scylla's cost. Most likely that's why he was silent in the beginning of Scylla. Having to choose six of my men to die would also weigh heavy on my mind.
Then along comes Eurylochus, no longer able to keep his secret about opening the wind bag (Oh noooo). And what does Odysseus decide to do? He makes Eurylochus choose. The 6 men Eurylochus has light torches are all consumed. Absolutely savage. Monster indeed.
I wonder if it felt cathartic for Odysseus? To see Eurylochus, choose(unknowingly) which men to 'kill'. Like a bitter revenge for the men lost to Poseidon.
The last bit is a little bit more of me off the wall cooking but the rest I fully stand by!
#m-thoughts#epic the musical#thunder saga#greek mythology#i dunno man it's late and I've been thinking about this for days lol#and my friend hasn't had a chance to listen to the new saga yet so I'm just sitting here fidgeting

Imagine an alternate world, where the guy who discovered the Gödel incompleteness theorem was an incredibly brilliant and charismatic man - a renowned intellectual of math and the physical sciences from a prodigiously young age, a patriot deeply involved with the complex politics surrounding his people's struggle for freedom in an age of collapsing empires and mechanized warfare; a man whose torrid love affairs with multiple powerful and complex women would in and of themselves make for a compelling romance; a pioneer of the nascent field of electronic computers, like Turing and von Neumann and Hopper and McCarthy all rolled into one; a man who has held political power and made decisions where the fates of millions hung in the balance; a man whose enemies label a war criminal and whose supporters defend with vehemence to this day; a man who, in his old age, found himself in an armed standoff with his former trusted lieutenant and intellectual collaborator, on the floor of the legislature of his country, filmed on (live, primitive) television (an invention he had also made important contributions to); a man whose last words were "I'm an old man, Tekaatkaawa; I am not afraid to die" as he fell to multiple gunshot wounds; a martyr, tyrant, statesman, traitor, hero, fascist, or any or all of the above, depending on who you ask; a man whose statues have been erected and torn down and erected twice as big on the same grounds within the span of 10 years of his death. Arguably one of the most important men of his time; certainly the most famous mathematician among laypeople. A way more interesting guy than Gödel was.
#math#fictional people#his name was i dunno Kehaatsipalu or something#I've been thinking about algonquian a lot lately so something vaguely reminiscant of algonquian names#but I don't actually know all that much about any particular algonquian language

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now
#latimers parents not mine!!!! i am NOT moving back to florida LOL#really hope that the changes will be good for my mental health. this apartment is toxic to us#ive been on the verge of meltdowns Kind Of A Lot lately. imnot doing great#extremely dependent on substances. just to reach a baseline level of functioning. but even that isnt working as much anymore#the only things i do on my phone or tablet these days is like. 2 mobile games. and skirting past my dms to check latimers blog#its too overwhelming to even open discord these days yknow. everything on earth is too much for me right meow#i havent been drawing i havent been social online OR irl i havent been cooking or creating#i havent been keeping up with personal hygiene like at all im particularly ashamed about that one#i've been really bad about doing my T the past few months which is a HUGE shame because im SO fucking hyped to be on it#theres just. too many obstacles in getting it done half the time. and the other half of the time i just forget#anyway. anyway.#our lease ends in july so between now and then we're just gonna try our best to tolerate our living situation enough to get by#there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and its called 'i only have to be in charge of like 2 rooms at most. and not a household!'#we're gonna try to slowly comb through all our things between now and then so the process of moving wont suck as bad#cuz listen. its pretty fucking bad right now#maybe not for other people. but it is for me. and its okay to let myself come to terms with that#im just. so relieved. still very stressed! but theres at least light at the end of the tunnel and its only like 2 months away#ill be able to draw guilt-free again. ill be able to just EXIST guilt-free#i dont think ive felt guilt-free for just existing the way i do since like. turning 20#i know my mom wouldve loved if i stayed home forever. and im sad i cant be there for her#but ever since i had a fight with my dad at 15 or 16 it just really felt like he didnt want me there more and more#maybe as the youngest he was resenting that i was preventing him from becoming an empty nester or something. i dont know#because all the other kids had been moved out and on their own at least once but i had never left home before#i dont know if he'd be heartbroken or not to hear that i feeling like he was resenting me. but thats the energy i was picking up for years#i dunno. i dont know#anyway. back to housing. for now im going to try to relax and store energy for the moving process#the huge pile of things by the kitchen? i dont have to worry about that becoming permanent because we're leaving in 2 months#the general discord of the state of our possessions? we have to go through everything to pack it all anyway. we can move in RIGHT this time#when we moved in here we didnt have a car or license so we were dependent on latimers 3-hr-drive-away parents to help us move#just /across town/. and we had a whole month between leases! but it still had to be done in a weekend

Zhou Ying is a really funny character in that he's technically faking his chronic illness, but not because he's secretly able-bodied
He's faking his chronic illnesses to cover up other, weirder, more magical chronic illnesses
#like yeah he's not quite as frail as he portrays himself in book 1#but he *certainly* isn't able-bodied lmao#he just can't tell anyone that he's actually ill because his bones were magically removed and sacrificed to a demon#and also because of the side effects of being psychic in an incorrect world#I dunno I've just been thinking about this a lot lately#what a guy#tai sui#zhou ying#jokes#prince zhuang#zhou ying my beloved#tai sui spoilers#I mean spoilers for early book 2. but just to be safe

As a trans Hermitcraft/Life Series fan, I have some complicated feelings about a lot of the creators' love of/references to Harry Potter.
I've been sort of absently thinking about this since there was that funny post going around about how when people like Martyn or Grian or whatever will reference Harry Potter, we shake our heads irl to express our disapproval in some way.
But part of me really really wishes I could properly express to some of these creators-- who I genuinely believe mean no harm of their own!-- the harm that JK Rowling has caused and is continuing to cause. In part due to the money she makes from all that Harry Potter stuff.
I don't want to come at anyone calling them problematic or evil, I do know that some of this can be really internet insular and a good chunk of these creators aren't scrolling through Tumblr or even Twitter these days. But then Grian goes on about the Chamber of Secrets inspiration for his build (along with other previous builds), or I go to watch Martyn's POV of 3rd Life for the first time and realize just how involved the Harry Potter aspects of Dogwarts are beyond just the name.
And I get uncomfortable? I guess? I know it's not their job to make me comfortable, but to be reminded again and again that for every creator who loves HP there's at least a hundred non-creators that feel the same way.
I was a big Harry Potter fan growing up. (I was really annoying about it actually). But obviously after learning about JK Rowling's beliefs and intentions it was pretty easy to distance myself, even if not entirely emotionally at first. But I stopped talking about it, I stopped buying any merch. I stopped engaging.
This is sort of rambly and nonsensical, I guess all this is just to say that I wish I had a way to let these creators know that their words-- especially because of their large audiences-- have power. But I have no way to meaningfully contact them, and also they're grown adults and it's not really my business.
I just feel sort of sick when I get reminded of an incredibly rich woman who wants people like me and people I love to suffer and uses her money from these books to make that happen.
#hermitcraft#life series#but also#transphobia#TO BE CLEAR#in terms of mentioning Rowling#not the creators#i've just been thinking about this lately because i tend to block people on here who still post about HP#and doesn't that make it sort of hypocritical and go against my own beliefs if i keep watching these people?#i dunno#complicated feelings#bloom babbles

For the OTP au ramble me and greed or me and sanji!!!!! (Or both even!!! Either would be exciting!!~ :3)
Logically I know Greed better because I've known of him longer and you've seen more of his show than Sanji.. but I'm doing Sanji anyway because he's my Blorbo-in-law and I love him
Ask from here (still open to Moots)
Coffee Shop AU - Cafe worker Sanji and regular Zayne makes the most sense to me, I imagine he's working under Zeff in this modern style relaxed AU. You drop by on your way to collage to get a baked good for breakfast, chat him up, and walk on. He is hopelessly pinning over your oblivious ass.
Highschool AU - Bad Boy Zayne, Straight A Sanji!!!! Nerd Sanji!!! Sanji with glasses!! Sanji who knows exactly what he wants to be when he graduates and won't let anything get in his way!! Until he's forced to tutor Punk Zayne in math.... Aah so cool <3
Rivals to Lovers AU - Less literal fist fight rivalry and more... Professional Chefs who are in constant competition, on interviews playfully bashing eachother, or duking it out on cooking shows. Or maybe even just rival restaurateurs. Your shops just happen to be across the street from eachother so you're constantly fighting for customers.
Enemies to Lovers AU - Nooo this one's haaaard it'd have to be a Friends to Enemies to Lovers or I couldn't handle it!! Zayne corruption arc post leaving Sanji when they were kids, he was captured by bad pirates or tricked or something and becomes a big main villain for one of the seasons so Sanji has to reach out to you and remind you of the good times to get you back!
Soulmate AU - Sanji seems the hopeless romantic type, daydreaming about a beautiful soulmate who'd come whisk him off his feet and carry them off into the sunset. This during Jaded Zayne arc of not being super into the idea of romance, marriage, sex, etc would be very funny to me. He just goes on and on with rants of his future love and you are NOT listening dskjfkdsjgf
Single Parent AU - SINGLE DAD SANJI!!!!! Divorced Sanji specifically his wife is alive and they get along fine it just didn't work out. I think he'd have the CUTEST baby girl to ever live. Bright blond hair big blue eyes. Maybe Kindergarten teacher Zayne... Aaaa that's so cute <3
Doctor AU - Scrappy Zayne, Doctor Sanji who's so fucking tired of this dude coming in with a broken nose and a twisted ankle and a busted jaw every few weeks. He's so jaded, he just assumes you're some bar fight guy, until he's walking home late and comes across you standing up for some girl who was getting harassed by a drunk and taking a hit for her. Take you home, patch you up <3
Bodyguard AU - Aaaah you both have such Princely energy it's hard to put one of you as the Guard for the other... But I put you in a lot of the fighter roles so far so it's your turn to be protected! Bodyguard Sanji, but more like... Black Butler style. He's also your chef and helps you dress in the morning and brings you your tea. He's the ultimate right hand man.
The last two are both canon to your S/I so we'll leave it at that
#Thankyou for asking#Other's Self Ships#Oooooh I forgot how fun this is fkjgkdfjgd#I dunno if I got the right energy Zayne in my brain is a lot scrappier than real Zayne. It's all the bloody Picrews we do dfgjkfdjg#I'm going to be thinking about Nerd Sanji for a while now#That AU would have me in it I'm Sanji's bully who you defend him from so he can have a better view of you#And then you and I become friends as well because you beat me in a fight so now you're like my big brother <3#fdhgjdfhgj I love that dynamic some Fatgum/Rappa kind of shit it's funny to me#I've been reading a lot of BL lately so the tropes are in my head and really silly

Currently fighting back tears because of something stupid
How fun /s
#so my parents are mad at me k think because i didn't want to go out with them despite going with them most of the time#and it's not fun seeing my mom mad#especially mad at me#that and I've been getting a thought about me being a bad person lately for some reason#like#let's just say I'm not too empathetic#i can't really tell if i say stuff just for getting pity or because i mean it#sometimes i feel like I'm manipulating people#i dunno#also I've been thinking about times my parents didn't seem to make sense to me#maybe i was just being a stubborn fool?#idk man#sometimes i wish i was as nonchalant as i look most of the time#but really I'm just a paranoic sensitive fool#ughhhhhh i think the internet's affecting me and turning me more sensitive#and y'know#you can't really survive irl while being so sensitive#not here at least#even the most sensitive person i know is rude as hell and doesn't let others push them down so easily#anyways all of those things combined are NOT a good match#at least i no longer feel like crying after writing this#sometimes it feels nice to scream into the void where no one can hear :) /gen#tw vent
