Lil aside. Fully believe Liam is trying to play Orym as a pretty even keel guy with some worries and a lot of loss in his past. I gotta admit tho. Orym often seems real fucked up. He’s got so deep rooted and suppressed issues.
“Replaying Otohan stabbing Keyleth in his head again and again.” Sir?!? You are not ok?!
Remember the petty stabbing of Yu?
#critical role#cr spoilers#critical role spoilers#Sry#it just makes me feral#This man has like some normal fucked up-ness so next to really weird magic fucked un-ness? Sorta seems boring and bland but he’s not.#Don’t fall into comparing them#Chet I think is the most got his shut together of them. Just in deeply strange ways. He’s not gonna pop#I still think Orym might pop#edit to correct some spelling Bc I am so bad at editing.

Listen… comparing hoyoverse characters can be a bit annoying but sometimes it’s just too un-fucking-canny to NOT point out
#Genshin impact#genshin childe#childe#honaki star rail#hsr#hsr aventurine#aventurine#hsr spoilers#flump!#don’t let them cook 😭#fellas is it illegal to manipulate an entire government???#I was like ‘yeah okay their boss forms and personalities are kinda similar I can get people comparing them’#and then hoyo gave them both cunty ass guitars and that was too far#lock them up!!! (again)#they both have 52 fake ids and are banned from most public spaces#at least they have an organization to fall back on#kinda? idk neither of them fully like the fatui/IPC#not like either have much of a choice when it comes to leaving lmao#ANYWAY ILL STOP RAMBLING IN THE TAGS teehee#I just love morally grey bitches

thinking about that one ask about claire getting into genetics/biology as a child but shes literally an ivf baby. i think biology would be a natural curiosity to her
#oc: claire swanson#claire was perfectly manufactured. everything about her was carefully planned#from her birth to her childhood#to her teen years to her first undergrad#her parents had a vision for her life even prior to her being gestated#i don’t mean this only from her fathers side but also her mother living vicariously through her as a child actress and stuff#i think that’s an interesting part of her character#to always have other people Having Ideas About You#i think she only realises how weird all this stuff was and how much it impacted her/how she approaches her relationships/how she seesherself#when she starts planning her own family and she’s likes oh. okay this is weird. this is not even a person yet#okay going off topic from the original post but it’s funny how claire escaped her fathers determinism just to fall into her mothers#neither of them truly saw her as a person you know. an individual. and that’s a pattern throughout all of her life with diff people#because all of these people have an idealised view of her and she’ll never be able to compare to it. because it’s not real#and it leads to frustration. and her incessant need to Prove Herself. she needs approval#i should make a post about this actually maybe#claire is so free but she’s actually so restricted. and she’s not even aware of it#claire literally dates her professor the man’s job is to grade her. this is not subtle. she is not subtle with anything ever#anyway. claire is a lab baby. she was made in a lab. she’s a frankenstein#let’s dissect her

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users
The users giveth, the users taketh away
#this isn’t about the sidebar btw I’ve already said I don’t mind the sidebar#I think it could be a better sidebar like the 2014 tumblr layout which was great#but it’s Fine (tm)#this is about live and the new post editor and the apparent avatar removal bs ‘experiment’#and it’s also about how these big overhauls keep being done meanwhile we can’t have like. a search function that works#or the queue reordering tools that already exist on mobile web applied to any other platform#you know. all the little stuff that’s comparatively easy to implement yet they ‘don’t have time’ for because they’re too busy#with these massive overhauls and ignoring all the asks that go to wip#also I don’t expect anyone to actually do this and I’m sure as hell not organizing anything cause that’s a lot of work lmao#but I think giving them money pre-emptivelt just showed they can do whatever they want and we’ll fall for it#taking away money would be more effective#idk I don’t think current staff are any better at running tumblr than yahoo was#they’re just better at the ‘we’re quirky and relatable just like you guys uwu’ bit#and a lot of us fell for it but I think the illusion is starting to lift#anyway idk it sucks here but all the other sites are either worse or empty so what can we do#(genuinely wtf can we do this nonsense is getting bad)#text#misc#shut up nerd#new layout stuff

what if perfect blue inspired salieri with identity issues (aka being plagued by ‘actual salieri’) and paprika inspired dantes hopping around dreams and psyche (in his younger cheerful rider form)
Idek if it’s taking place in canon or a completely separate au but like
dantes as a psychiatrist trying to help salieri so it turns into hide and seek in dreamscape with accidental falling in love both here and irl
#fate grand order#fgo#edmond dantes#antonio salieri#me being back with cracked edsali ideas let’s go#ANYWAY kinda relay more to modern au in this case#salieri being a partly amnesiac musician who survived an incident but came out traumatized#the way people compare him to ‘old’ him made him develop salieri of past that torments his mind as result#even tho salieri himself wants to move from old life and find new him#dantes being a psychiatrist with his own issues and alter ego that hops around dreamscape and psyche of patients and helps them#dantes irl slowly falling in love with salieri while his dreamscape version does the same with ‘old’ salieri#the way torments are creation of salieri’s psyche under pressure of his past self greatness#dantes discovers that it’s not the case and current salieri is a result of a failed suicide attempt#but old salieri did wish for new him or pursue his own aspirations and happiness if they survive#listen it’s just a big ass perfect blue x paprika crossover but gay don’t mind me

T shirt that says I still have social issues and trauma from things that happened over a decade ago
#captain’s log#I am getting back in to therapy to process things dw#I just find myself in these spaces and spiraling#because of how much I want to be friends with people or want people to like me#to think I’m fine and normal even or worthwhile but that feeling of wanting to be friends or needing to somehow#in the nebulous space of interaction irl or social media try to cut through and#communicate my personality my worth and my desire for friendship all while risking rejecting#rejection* feels impossible and is within itself very triggering#especially because I get stuck in these spaces of always feeling stupid ugly and like an 11 year old kid who doesn’t understand#but just feels like somethings WRONG with them and keeps saying the wrong things when he tries to make people like him#and that assumed wrongness which begates assumed rejection only makes the spiral worse#hi I will be okay I am fine I am just like. struggling and wanting to not feel weird or stupid or annoying#my last two work environments have been incredibly unprofessional and toxic which I think has triggered all of this#several people I worked with in both places have compared it to high school so I think there’s that#also I’ve made some fantastic and really cool new friends and I feel so frightened of rejection and so unworthy of friendship#also if I ever don’t respond to people it is because I panic and shutdown! haha sorry about that#I’m starting EDMR again this fall so hopefully I will see a turn around#I also think my anti-depressants have stopped working. also thinking about taking my psych up on the referral for Ketemine#anyway sorry I’ll be fine I’m going to wake Will up now so I’m not alone jdkdkskssksksks also eat something

#i genuinely feel like a unique version of myself compared to the me i was a year ago#like the person i was a year feels like a different person#sometimes i don’t recognize myself in the mirror as myself because i dont feel like this body is me#and this feeling of being a new unique and unrecognizable person is such a pervasive feeling that i’ve been feeling 24/7 for weeks#i feel like i act different and think different or like my actions and thoughts don’t belong to me#i genuinely dont know who i am and that’s very unsettling to me#i almost feel like im a different age#like maybe older or younger?? idk like someone who’s more carefree in a way that speaks to experience or#due to a lack of needing to face hardship#which i know is contradictory to my lived experiences#again i feel like i’ve suddenly become someone who has a different lived experience than the one i know i had#is this like dissociation???#because this is a slightly similar but overall forgien experience compared to how i’ve historically dissociated before#i genuinely feel like i even speak differently#like i physically feel like my speech has changed#it almost feels more fluid(?) and my vowels have become whiney(?) when i say them??#im so confused ngl#like on the surface i feel like the same person#but the moment i look more closely at my internal view of myself it falls apart#i still have the same interests (kinda) and i still like the same clothes#but at the same time i’ve suddenly had a desire to have my nails painted which is very new#and i actually painted them and have had the painted for weeks#like i feel like this is out of character for me#i also feel more extroverted??#not by much but still noticeably to me

So that new episode huh?
I support women’s wrongs
#dndads#dungeons and daddies#scary marlowe#artists on tumblr#art#scary my beloved#bro I’m so hyper for the probable redemption arc#like bitch these are my favorite tropes#the ‘fallen hero’ who has a very morally complex reason to fall and like man it sucks but you see why#but yet they still prove there was ‘good’ still in them and redemption !!!#i really don’t understand woolen shitting on scary I get if you don’t like the character but she’s not real?#like feels on characters are valid but comparing a fictional teenage girl to real atrocities ????#anyways that’s just my two cents#i support womens wrongs#lunarrosette’s shit#lunarrosette can draw

sometimes i get quite excited about the prospect of trying to write fics again after months of not writing at all and then i think about how lonely being and posting on tumblr feels all the time and the excitement passes!
#i always feel extremely lonely on this app#i enjoy it don’t get me wrong#but i think part of the reason i went off grid for months was that i didn’t feel like i had any friends#i didn’t rly look forward to going on tumblr bc i honestly and truly feel so out of place on here#regardless of how hard i try to talk to people and to interact with them#idk#it’s also so easy to fall into a pit of comparing yourself to others on here i think#i try not to#but it’s kind of inevitable - especially when ur like me and you like to read fics as much as u write them#lol idk!#anyways#mareagirls musings

They call it better call Saul because you “SAUL” the show
#I’ve been watching bettercall Saul w my friends I’m really enjoying it#I haven’t watch breaky bad & I don’t intend to but my friends have so they just fill me in whenever context is needed 👍#but I like it jimmy is so funny & awesome & loser sad#I also can’t get over Howard for some reason he’s like devastatingly funny to me he’s hysterical for no reason he’s a fucking cartoon#character like he talks like a muppet movie villain he is literally always wearing the same outfit during jimmys trial when he said they#didn’t hire jimmy bc of nepotism concerns n Kim was like mhm & who’s the other Hamlin?& he had to sit there n be like My Daddy. hysterical.#for some reason also the way he looks & speaks after SPOILER ALERT Chuck dies is soooo funny to me it’s so bad but it Got me#he’s also so scary tho like every time he looks at someone he looks like he’s about to pounce on them he’s like a predator.#anyway the other night while trying to fall asleep I decided that his whole cartoon villain henchman vibe is actually high camp in a way#comparable to that post about Ben shapiro holding a piece of wood. which makes like 0 sense but it actually makes perfect sense#I literally don’t care about Howard or have like any strong feelings about him I just think he’s the funniest character ever ok sorry bye

People are bribing others to vote for Glenn so in the spirit of fairness, send me proof of having voted Lovelace and I will send you a picture of my guppies and/or my cat!
Sexiest Podcast Character — Scripted Champion vs Unscripted Champion
#My cat’s name is Ollie and he is a sweetheart. My fish are named Scully + Pinhead + Deep Throat 2#They may not be as charismatic. But I love them and they are very playful in their own way#this is in addition to me drawing Lovelace when I get home#Actually I’ll talk about something a little in these tags#I think a lot of people are comparing them on an incorrect premise— namely that Lovelace cannot be sexy#if she doesn’t [do insert thing] (eg make out with a guy or say someone has a dumptruck ass or whatever)#This is because of the nature of a scripted audio drama vs an improv comedy actual play podcast. To put it another way:#You wouldn’t say that Wile E. Coyote is a more morally reprehensible villain than Sauron because Sauron hasn’t tried to#blow up a bird with dynamite or painted a tunnel on a cliff face#In the context of Wolf 359 and Lovelace’s character arc it wouldn’t make sense for her to do those things.#AND scripted audio dramas have a much more solid relationship to the idea of a ‘canon’#So no. Lovelace hasn’t made a deez nuts joke. She was in her 30s in 2010 and spent a large chunk of time in space being traumatized#on a space station that was actively falling apart. These things don’t make sense for her. It would be jarring and out of place.#What she DOES have are actions that are emotionally compelling and in character AND SEXY#Including#as far as I can tell based on the tags I’m seeing#making more dad jokes than the actual dad listed here. And I’m sorry if this comes off as mean I genuinely do not want to shit on#a character that a lot of people really love#and it’s not meant to be rude#But I feel like a lot of the comparisons being made are spurious in nature and people have been rude as hell about a character *I* love#And I’d like to make my opinions known

Could you draw that "I trust you" scene with Mabel and Stan but with the relativity AU? (The stan twins and pine twins swap ages au)
OF COURSE, I WILL GLADLY DRAW THEM!!! 💥💥💥
I’m gonna post a long winded thesis about my thoughts on this AU, my take on the AU, and two additional arts under the cut because ooooh boy it’s a tad bit long lol. Also, please please forgive the formatting, I’m writing this all on the fly and it’s extremely disjointed, sorry- 💥
I know there’s the ‘canon’ Relativity AU designs and character dynamics, however I don’t really like them that much ngl. I feel like it mostly just ends up with ‘Mabel and Dipper get switched with Stan and Ford with no nuances once so ever’ and that BLOWS!!! There’s so much potential there and no one is playing with it!! YOU GUYS DON’T EVEN HAVE MABEL PRETENDING TO BE DIPPER, WHATS THE POINT????
Not only that but I feel like making Dipper and Mabel’s dynamic just Ford and Stan’s when they’re adults is a HUGE simplification of their characters. Like, Mabel and Dipper fight, but they don’t fight like Stan and Ford, they’re not as hard headed and stubborn. Mabel would commit some crimes yes, but I don’t believe she would get into some of the heavy shit Stan had in his past. I refuse to believe Mr. Dipper ‘Undiagnosed Anxiety Disorder’ Pines would fall for Bill’s flattery as easily as Ford did.
The Pines Twins are very different from the Mystery Twins. Mabel and Dipper didn’t grow up with a father constantly comparing the two and pinning them against each other, outright telling one kid they’ll always be a failure while the other is going to have the burden of making their family rich. They never had that tension. They wouldn’t be walking on eggshells around eachother as adults.
I know that makes the concept sound boring to some, ‘Where’s the fun in the AU if you take away the sibling fighting’. You cowards, you can still have it, young Stan and Ford are RIGHT THERE. During the second half of the show when Dipper comes back through the portal, instead of having the older set of twins, something that doesn’t male sense with their characters, have a building tension that’s going to explode soon and keep it between Stan and Ford, don’t take it away from them. If anything, I think taking away the resentment and anger growing between the two and giving it to Mabel and Dipped is a butchering of all the characters.
Sure that means some of the episodes would have to change or be completely erased, but that’s fine!!! Make up some new ones!!! Get silly with it!!!
Mabel and Dipper talk about feelings, Stan and Ford don’t. Mabel and Dipper can’t stay mad at each other, Stan and Ford will try and stay mad for decades because being angry is easier than being upset.
In my idea of this AU that fight at the end of Weirdmageddon HAS to be between Stan and Ford, and Stan HAS to still be the one getting his memories erased.
💥 Post Not-What-He-Seems Relativity AU Rambling Below 💥
Dipper is a paranoid man, fool him once you’re never going to fool him again. He would never in a million years ever work with Bill again. Ford however is an extremely lonely child, both he and his brother are desperate for any type of positive attention. I think Bill would see him as a potential protege, especially since Ford is a ‘freak’ like he is and the kid is extremely smart for his age. He’s malleable, Bill probably thinks he could shape him uo to be the perfect lackey.
Ford, being the lonely kid he is, probably does fall for the praise initially. He craves attention and Bill pushes all the right buttons and says all the right words, tries and gains his trust even if time has proven again and again that he shouldn’t be trusting the demon.
The tension between the Stan Twins would grow after Grunkle Dipper comes back because Ford is upset that Stan didn’t listen to him (even if it was for the best that he did) and that Grunkle Dipper forgave Graunty Mabel so easily because if Ford was in those shoes he wouldn’t have. It grows more and more as Ford becomes distant and Stan tries to connect with his brother to no avail. Which, of course, comes to a boiling point when Ford says he’s going to stay in Gravity Falls and learn under Grunkle Dipper. Stan is rightfully upset. He can’t go back to New Jersey by himself. It’s always just been the two of them, he needed Ford, he couldn’t handle school or their father by himself. He can’t be alone.
Unlike Mabel who just wanted one more day of summer, Stan wishes that he wouldn’t be alone, which indirectly causes Weirdmaggendon.
Stan’s prison bubble would probably be a fake New Jersey-esc town full of a bunch of little Stans running around. Town O’ Stan. A place where no Stan is left behind.
Ford says some nice words to Stan there to get him outta there but there is still this intense tension between the two.
During the Cipher Wheel Ford is the one who tackles Stan. The two fight, whining out hurtful words neither of them mean and only stop when Bill shows up and captures them. Graunty Mabel and Grunkle Dipper run off and distract Cipher in hopes that they can keep the attention on themselves long enough that their great nephews could come up with a plan to escape.
The younger twins don’t find a way out and instead, finally, have an actual talk about their feelings, one that definitely ends up in tears as the two talk about the pressure that’s put on them or how worthless they feel. After that the boys get a rush of determination to escape when Stanley has a plan. Ford immediately hates the plan but Stan insists that they do it, in his own words, ‘Let me prove I can do something right for once.’
When Bill comes back and threatens to kill either Mabel or Dipper just for the hell of it, Ford calls out that he’d like to make a deal.
He wants to work with Bill, let Bill into his mind willingly. Bill immediately jumps on that offer. Ford is a promising young kid, perfect henchmaniac potential, not to mention it would absolutely devastate Dipper is his great nephew willingly turned to Bill’s side.
He goes into Ford’s head, revealing Stanley just in time to reveal that he was trapped, panicking as he was erased with a swift left-hook along with a kid who was happy to prove he was good for something after all.
Everyone was devastated after Weirdmaggedon of course, a child had his mind completely wiped. Stanford took it the worst, he just managed to finally break down those words that others built in his head, that he was too good for Stanley or that he didn’t need a knucklehead like him dumbing down his brain, and now his brother was gone. Just like that.
We all know what happens after this, Stan gets his memory back, everyone celebrates and the Stan twins are sent home, promising each other that they’ll never let anyone try and tear them apart ever again. Dipper and Mabel stay at the shack, after all, all they could ever want is there, where else could they possibly go?
Sorry this was… extremely rambly and long, I am extremely tired and can’t think straight I have a bunch more ideas and concepts so if anyone’s desperately wants to hear them just ask I guess, sorry you read this dumb of ass essay haha 💥
