Was at home handing out candy to trick or treaters tonight, and there was a little girl who came up today with the biggest grin, dressed up as season 3 El, spiky striped yellow shirt and smudged lipstick bloody nose and all. And all I could think about was another little girl who was also so excited to cut her hair in the fall and wear that same shirt, and steal her momās lipstick to craft her own little fake blood smudgeā¦ four years ago to this day actually
Please excuse me while I go cry in a corner for a bit
#personal#stranger things#real talk for a second though: I feel like because of the beauty of the closeness and almost like nicheness of the st tumblr community#(lookin at my byler out there)#I think at least I know I forget someoneās just how mainstream the show is#like being one of the most popular shows literally in history itās really one of those things where#You can bring it up as a talking point when youāre awkwardly trying to make conversation at a party#Or make a reference without having to think too much about whether people get it#Because a lot of the time THEY DO#I just think itās so cool to see how many people whose lives the show has touched#Even in the smallest of ways#like seeing a love and an excitement for a show that not only continues to excite me#But for something that has had the impact that itās had on my life#Seeing that impact continue and that excitement reflected in a girl who was about the same age as I was when I first started watching st#Idk it was just really really sweet :)#I genuinely had to take a moment afterwards and smile to myself about it#anyway#happy halloweenie yall#byler#< target audience bc yāall my people

You ever think about how buck gave Bobby a heads up and he already cleared it with the chief. That that is the first time someone else did something to help him that didnāt feel condescending. That his struggles werenāt treated as a burden. That his fatherhood wasnāt treated as an inconvenience. And for the first time those aspects of his life were seen and he wasnāt judged for them.
#just.#like after knowing them three weeks#like what.#911#buck met chris and immediately started fighting for him like Eddie would#even in the smallest of ways#just wanna throw up rn

Also, the greatest revolt to a world which actively discourages you at every chance to produce art is to continue making art even if it's literally just a bar urinal or a banana taped to a wall I literally don't care, you're only requirement on this earth as an artist in my eyes to is to put something here that wasn't before.
#art#vent#ive been hearing a lot of my peers talk about whether or not theyre making real art#or if contemporary art is real art#or if they should keep doing it even if it means theyll starve#and i think you make art just by being alive#just by touching the world and it reaching out to acknowledge you#even in the smallest of ways

Hello!
I'm Joanna, but I also respond to Jo or hey, you! :D There's gonna be a lot of words here. There's a reason I'm on Tumblr and not Twitter. Good luck!
This is not the first impression I would usually choose to make, but since itās the point of this blog, here we go: I have extreme social anxiety, among other things. Social anxiety has impacted every day of my life for as long as I can remember. Iāve worked for many, many years in therapy to learn how to cope despite the brain-lies, and I get by just fine IRL with my job and friends and various hobbies.
Tumblr, though, (and social media in general) is a different story.
Iāve had the same blog on Tumblr continuously since 2009 (not this blog here, this one is shiny and new. I wanted to separate my blogs for reasons). Over the years, Iāve been into various fandoms, aesthetic blogs, book blogs, US and UK politics, memes, quotes, stories, and art, among other things. Itās been great, I love tumblr! Itās truly the most batshit insane hellsite (slash affectionate) and Iāll be here until the whole ship sinks.
Hereās the problem that I realized recently: despite spending 15 years on a single social media platform, I have never once created my own posts. I exclusively reblog and like other peopleās posts. Every single time Iāve had something I wanted to say, the black hole of my anxiety kept my words trapped tight in my own head, or in a saved-but-never-posted draft (I have over 1,000 drafted posts saved). Which is silly, right? Itās tumblr! No one from real life knows me here, there are no consequences to anything I might post.
And yet. Zero posts, for 15 years. Zero comments, zero replies, zero messages, zero asks even to mutuals. Nada. This post youāre reading right now will be the first of my own words that I put on Tumblr dot com (other than my bio, obvs). And thatās kind of sad, in my opinion.
So I decided to change that. I have created this blog for the sole purpose of putting down whatever thoughts I feel like. I may occasionally reblog art or poems or quotes (I love quotes so so much) but the majority of this blog will be for anything I feel like saying. My own words, for once. Iām not going to tailor what I say to any specific audience. I donāt have a goal or agenda or theme for my rambles. Iām not doing this for anyone other than myself, just to prove that I can. To give myself a place where I can say āfuck youā to anxiety and shout into the void as much as I want and to be wholly, completely, authentically myself without any thought for what someone else thinks of me.
If youāve read this far in my first ramble, wow, you are built different and I admire you! I was born entirely without the ability to be concise, so good job on getting this far!Ā
If you want to follow youāre more than welcome to but fair warning, I make no guarantees about the contents of this tumblr. If you say hi Iāll try to say hi back! Maybe! Weāll see! (I wasnāt kidding about the severe social anxiety but damn I am tired of being controlled by it so Iāll fight those battles as they come)
That's all for now!

Zepotha will never be Goncharov because when it comes down to it, tumblr culture is collaborative, while tiktok culture is merely iterative, and those are not the same thing.
#also because tumblr has a very specific way that it interacts with the media it loves#like make no mistake; when we made Goncharov we were a little bit making fun of ourselves#and the way we project high emotion and significance onto even the smallest details#(also the way we want everything to be gay)#tiktok isnāt doing that. they think the joke is the fake movie itself. but the fake movie isn't really the point.#the point is the fake FANDOM#goncharov

I have a disproportionately loud mess of a head for no discernible reason* so itās kind of a miracle that I spent the last month and some change willing myself to wield watercolor again. Witness the struggle! A long overdue color sketch for a (super patient) client.
Just watercolor with a boop of gouache.
*they are a mush of small but immense problems??? Executive dysfunction being maximized by meds the main culpritā¦
#watercolors#work in progress#equine#commissioned work#color study#traditional media#traditional art#you wouldnāt believe how much I want to hyperfocus on this piece for a week state#but the burnout and year long hiatus have shaken my confidence to its core#and I was never a confident person to begin with#itās a horrible feeling and I have had to borrow Jās will to conquer it in any way#I celebrate even the smallest victory these days otherwise Iād burst#can you believe my adhd diagnosis was inconclusive?#no Iām fan but I am getting tired of relying on my brain to punch itself#i need new meds holy shit#there are not enough apologies to make up for how I feel about making everyone wait

I donāt think Tashiās look of disgust when Art kisses her knee is actually about him. Itās at herself. Their dynamic is so entirely shaped by power, by the fact that Art is lesser than her. Sheās better at tennis, better at keeping her control, better at getting Patrick to fall into her bed. Itās the uncaring idol and the tortured devotee. Hell, itās outright stated; she asks āwhat am I, Jesus?ā and he says āyesā like itās obvious. Even the way they sit in that scene shows how Tashi is a religion to him, kissing and bowed over her lap like in prayer. Which is why, to a woman who buys into that dynamic, who also thinks of herself as God to Artās worshipper, itās so disgusting that she truly does love him. Tashi adores him. Not even close to as much as she adores tennis, but she does. Right after that scene she goes and asks Patrick to throw the match - because if Art loses, she leaves him. And she doesnāt want to have to leave him. It goes against what she knows. God is not supposed to make sacrifices for mere mortals. Achilles is not meant to swoon at the soft weakness of his heel. But here she is, seeing the chip in her armour and thinking it lovely anyway. Hence the look.
#and she hates him and thinks heās pathetic#but she knows that#itās realising she loves him. itās gross to her in the literal sense#itās skincrawlingly wrong for her to (even in the smallest ways) betray her best love - tennis and its rules - for Art#she loves him loves their life loves their daughter (would trade it all in a second for her health back but does love love love)#and how foul to love Art when Patrick is the better devotee#heās better at tennis. and Tashi is tennis heart and soul. but she still loves Art. even if he has to work at it earn it#sheās willing to train him up. loves him. and it disgusts her#love in its purest sense feels so wrong to her <3#challengers#tashi duncan#art donaldson#patrick zweig

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.
#for klavier because it's not as direct it's about how we never see him actually wearing lipstick? even though apollo literally attends#a concert of his which is where you'd most expect him to wear makeup. but apparently he just doesnt. or at least not in public#klavier gavin#kristoph gavin#i feel like there are several ways you can read into it. the misogyny/toxic masculinity one is really obvious clearly with kristoph's#singling out of men specifically and klavier's (probably accidental?) condescending manner of calling women 'fraulein' plus his general#mildly patronising attitude towards many of the women in the game (also probably unintentional)#(i think he's trying to be charming and it's coming off wrong to some of them. like ema. and me.)#but i feel like there's also maybe an element of... inherent perfecfionism to it? like both of these products are conventionally beautifyin#products and kristoph while he is open to showing people he uses nail polish specifically chooses one that's clear and missable unless you#see him apply it. he also feels the need to justify his use of it and specifically spell it out as something he chooses to do rather than#needs to do even though duh. that should be obvious.#idk there's just something about his seeming need to take control of that narrative that i find interesting. his need to spin it into a#'there's nothing wrong with my nails but I had the foresight to see that even the smallest parts of my appearance should be kept immaculate#and it's a choice i'm making to refine an already adequate part of my personage /not/ to cover some unsightly defect.' the need to emphasis#that specifically is so. hm. and with klavier i could see it being a case of him liking makeup liking the pops of colour yet being unwillin#to admit to it because he's afraid that other people might see it as him being dissatisfied with his own appearance regardless of if he is#or isn't. or even just perceiving colourful makeup as being unseemly because it's so overt and unnatural.#like i can see this as them both viewing 'real' beauty to be that which is inherent to a person and seemingly effortless#thus somehow negating the beauty which one achieves through cosmetics or other external means.#and if you want to use external means to achieve beauty or neatness or whatever then your only valid options are those which blend into you#natural state. like clear nail polish. or really awful spray tan.#i feel like klavier's less confined by these ideas (if they hold merit at all) considering he actually owns coloured lipstick and he wears#jewellery (admittedly quite 'masculine' jewellery no gems or pearls or anything like that but jewellery nonetheless) but i think it just#makes it more interesting that he doesnt seem quite able to cross the line anyway. like it's that ingrained into his system.#anyway that's all i've got. you guys should tell me what you think too#annotations

bears in trees were so right when they said
I want to cherish every insignificance Lay in the light of your mundane I want to hold onto every impermanence Each an eternity in their own way
because holy shit
#i have so many thoughts about those lines#its about finding the people/places where you feel peace#where even the smallest things feel like everything#in the best possible way#written for them#bears in trees

Nintendo filed for the patent after Palworld was already out. In fact, the feature was already in several games before Pokemon.
So they legally stole an idea and are suing people for using such a broad concept of said idea.
Oh! And now they're taking down people's Channels for making videos about emulation (This (Emulation) has long be established as Legal? Legal. Bastards.)
If Nintendo wins this lawsuit, Japanese companies are going to patent Eeeverything and start suing Eeeeveryooone.
Nintendo Needs To Lose So Hard They Lose The Patent. Genuinely anything else? Kills the games industry.
Nintendo is willing to, Once, Again, Throw the entire Industry under the bus for Just A Bit More Money. These fuckers aren't even competing with Anyone, they just want to destroy competition. Remember what became the ESRB trials? Did you watch those? Because that was the first time Nintendo put the industry into uncertainty and censorship Just To Spite Their One Competition, Sega. Had the US government not been reasonable? And say "regulate yourselves" Gaming would have died.
Nintendo is absolutely disgusting, pathetic, incapable of competing with even it's own fans without pulling a gun on them, but hell has no fury like Nintendo's legal team seeing anything thay challenges Nintendo's perfect little image.
Please. Do Not Support Nintendo Anymore. If you care about Art, Creation, people's Careers, yourself and your friends, you will choose to harm Nintendo'a BottomLine by no longer giving them money, by talking shit online. Nothing else will work.
If Japanese courts take Nintendo's side, nothing will stop companies from patenting first person shooters, from patenting platformers, from patenting MOBA's, nothing is safe.
What Nintendo has effectively started is quite literally the end of gaming. They're Attacking Indie developers, they're attacking all artists of all sectors, they're attacking your ability to create, they're attacking people's livelihood, they're attacking everything built up over the course of nearly 6 decades, just to spite One Fucking Game.
#palworld#Nintendo#honestly if you're not scared you're not informed#literally the only way to stop this is if the consumer fights back#we are the other half of the free market There Is No Other Regulator Not One 0 Zilch Nada Nope#only us#of we do nothing? They win by default#straight up Japanese copyright/legal/patent is dumb as shit and there's 0 reliability#Nintendo needs to drop this fucking childish bullshir#and we need to focus on killing their Patent#pokemon#nintendo#gaming industry#I've been saying it for years now ya'll#actually since childhood so a decade minimum#Don't Support These Companies#don't support console gaming because all the big boys are dreadful for the industrt#and who else but Nintendo would come first to prove that the entire industry needa regulation so fucking hard#To support gaming you really need to push for it to be open for anyone to be involved with#Nintendo on the other hand thinks randomly filing patents at anytime should enable them to attack even the smallest of competition#Really consider the company you probably barely think about since it stop trying to compete with literally anyone#is being so anti-competitive. Not towards a console. But all of the industry#this today a nobody fuckin company#really thinks they should have such dominance of the industry#fuck Nintendo

Regular reminder that sudden and severe weight loss is a pretty serious sign that something is very, very wrong
#weight#weight loss#brought to you by the realisation today that my hips are currently smaller than my fucking waist usually is#itās summer and iāve been walking the hill a lil more but damn thatās not fucking good#and before anyone even THINKS āi wish i had this problemā i guarantee you do not#cuz it comes from 2 hour bathroom trips that are screamingly painful#and the arbitrary inability to eat literally anything#which often crops up right before i sit down to eat something#and i mean i can wait it out and eat late but itās really goddamn annoying#and none of my goddamn clothes fit AGAIN iām way out of even my smallest stuff#my broke ass is not buying new shit and if i make any cosplay to fit me now itāll be way too small when iām back in remission š¤#gotta get the goddamn meal replacement shakes again and see if i can process those#they are GROSS#gym bros are lying to you#they all suck#and i need to do em along with regular meals cuz iām not gonna get enough from either#luckily i also have chronically low blood pressure so frenchfries are medicinal on both levels#this may also explain my resting heartrate being around 120bpm in my opinion#but no oneās ever really discussed it
