When in doubt, Soup it out.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#a-yuan.#wei wuxian#Yes I am skipping over LWJ's panic at WWX joking about giving birth to A-Yuan. It's funny bit but there are many more to come!#The last time these two sat down together the tensions were so high. The peace is nothing more than a layer of cold fat on the surface.#It's not 'really' them coming to see eye to eye. It's them not having the energy to say what they really want anymore.#LWJ is very defined by his jealousy and the conflict it creates with his need to put his feelings aside for the perceived greater good.#To live a life where you are always second and never ever allowing yourself to be first...#If other people can be at peace and happy - it has to be worth it right?#If he orders a plate of food that he will struggle to eat but is the favourite thing of the person sitting across from him#Is it not worth the sacrifice?#But remember! You can't take anything for yourself ever. No matter how much you want it.#He did it once before and he regrets it so much. So all he can do is accommodate.#And WWX? Well. You can't let anyone in if there isn't enough water to splash around in.#Keep things shallow and they just move on. Even if you'll miss them when they go - this is just how things are now.#No more teasing and trying to pull a reaction from LWJ anymore. You'll never be more than someone he can't stand so what's the point.

something about the main menu for life is strange genuinely makes me wanna collapse and sob
#like not just the music but the overall visuals yknow#it's like this gut wrenching#almost nostalgic ????#feeling that hits like a truck#especially after playing the full game#seeing how peaceful things could be is almost like#i dunno gives me that feeling of dread when you've done something you can't undo#seeing how good things could be but knowing you don't get to go back#sorta thing#it's just#something about beautiful pictures having gut wrenching back stories#does something bad to my brain#naturally#i dunno i'm half asleep and rambling#but yknow what i mean#i'm trying to put it into words as best i can#it's like#it really is just like what growing up feels like ig#especially when it doesn't turn out how you want#wanting to go back and warn yourself so you can hopefully make things easier and more ideal but obviously you can't#that's kinda what the menu feels like#music and all#especially those goddamn birds chirping#ok goodnight#life is strange#chloe price#max caulfield#lis chloe#lis max#pricefield

I feel a deep sense of anger and grief for Palestine. I’m angry at God, at the world powers donating to those who are killing civilians, angry at people looking away and encouraging you to worry about yourself when people can’t even walk down their streets without being attacked. I’m angry that my friend donated, only for it to be stolen and taken by the soldiers abusing Palestine. I’m angry that I can’t do much of anything but tell you to at least CARE about the people being bombed and slaughtered. Please, if you can’t do anything please just CARE about these people and listen to their stories. Hold them in your hearts at the very least. Don’t pretend they don’t exist or just brush it off as “its been going on for centuries, there’s no point in stopping it.” I want to do more, I want to make people care and love those who need it, rather than continue spreading anger and hate.
These are real people I’ve drawn. Keep the people of Palestine in your heart at the very least please.
#two of my best friends had to run away from their homes because they were Muslim#it was too dangerous for them to stay#but in leaving they also had to leave behind large parts of their families#they tell me about their friends and loved ones that have died and how empty they feel to it#that they also feel a deep sense of hopelessness and guilt at not being able to help#I have a friend now who teaches me about the qur’an and how it talks about having peace and not being afraid in times like these#so please DONT BE AFRAID TO SAY SOMETHING#Please talk about this with your friends#please educate yourself on what’s happening#please please please just CARE about the people of Palestine#even if it’s scary and even if it hurts you#do it for those who don’t have a choice to be afraid or hurt#free palestine#palestine

Small detour of what I usually post, but I absolutely wish (other) clown the best of luck during these confusing and almost hopeless times- nobody knows how to deal with such amount of attention in such short amount of time- a blessing and a curse to behold
#Seeing their posts absolutely shattered me#I may never be able to relate to how he’s going through rn but at least I can relate to the fear of living in absolute fear#the fear of unable to be yourself in your own home with creative and personal freedom#The fear of being terrified that the thing that gives you the most innocent happiness will be heavily demonized and threatened#The fear of getting caught doing something you love and being yourself with your found identity#The fear of destruction#I relate heavily to this and to feel you are going to be caught doing anything that isn’t a crime hurts#I wish him safety and love during these stressful days#He’s brought so much joy to my life that I must keep private irl too#Whatever he decides for the fandom I will fully support it#I will still continue posting of course unless he wishes otherwise#If he sees this (which I doubt) hey other clown lmao- you are loved and not alone#It may be scary but you are not alone- you will never be alone#There will always be people out there who love you and there will always be those who are not even worth giving time of day#The internet is both a blessing and a cruel cruel unforgiving place#I hope it doesn’t deter you from doing what you love and hold dear#I hope you have anyone you can be with online or in irl that can give you the comfort you need#You deserve peace and security#Do what you feel is best#Welcome home

I find it funny when metal elitists try to diss ST by calling it pop music (omg is that imagine dragons :0)
like, metal gatekeeper incorrectly assigns a genre to a particular artist or band, then insists they're an infallible source of knowledge and authority within their preferred genre. brother you apparently can't even differentiate alt metal from top 40 radio music. what makes you think I trust your opinion on anything?
#“clean vocals are just pop no matter what” i wish you a very go fuck yourself xo peace and love#have u ever heard pop? like do you know what pop is?#or is it just a catch-all for “music i don't like and therefore is inferior”#like idk how exactly to classify st lol. they def have pop influences but it aint pop#i think alt metal is fair. maybe prog. but i've also seen post metal too and i think that's cool lol#srry for the ramble i am just Thinking#elkk.txt#sleep token

#ok despite better judgement im going to be genuine the tags lol... when i was in middle school where was five. FIVE. Emily A's#so i couldnt even go by Emily A. I was Emily A 3. and i always felt like the outlier. the emily that was wrong.#it felt like a club i shouldnt have been a part of. none of the nicknames fit. no one would call me anything else.#i know. 2 or 3 trans women who go by emily now and im like#how do you find peace and comfort in an identity i never did#its strange that emily has always felt like a costume im wearing incorrectly and its the truth for other people#i think. for lack of a better terms#i have always been jealous of the fact people can change their names and have it stick. jealous of people how find happiness in womanhood.#anyway#you named yourself emily????#l + cringe +lmaooooo#I will be running for president under these terms

Crazy wild shit man
#how are we straight up accepting the emmrich romance lich choice for how it’s written#does anyone feel me#hello???#no one else can see the inherent tragedy in this?#maybe I’m too mort ass pilled but um. trading away your life to escape death is no life at all#and why can’t rook be like. you killed yourself and took yourself away from me and now you have no skin for me to caress and no warmth for#me to share and though it’s still your consciousness you’ve a) gained a perspective I can never ever share and b) you have accepted#outliving me so thoroughly that I will be just a drop in the bucket of your life even if I get another good 50 years out of life.#why can’t I ask him is all this worth it without your heart????!??#why can’t I break it off?!!!???#why do I HAVE to celebrate this choice#emmrich volkarin#dav spoilers#and that’s not even getting into the philosophical questions surrounding fear and what it means to live like.#emmrich… has ocd. and I have no doubt that those fears are truly debilitating (despite this almost never coming up in the narrative)#and essentially this choice is one about how to deal with it. acceptance vs avoidance. and we see no consequences for either!!!#if he chooses to accept this fear as a part of him and work through it WE SHOULD SEE THAT WORK#he should struggle!! and that struggle should lead him towards making peace with that fear#AND!!#if he chooses to escape from that fear— to actively avoid ever resolving it— we should see him struggle with that too!!!!#molding your entire existence around this fear to the point you embody it… where are the emotional consequences for that!?#WHY DO I— AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVES HIM— NOT GET ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH BACK OR ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS?!?#in a game about the tyranny of immortality… we can send our beloved to kill his mortal self to come back as an immortal husk.#and we’re not even allowed to be sad abt it the very next scene is some goofy cartoon shit at the lighthouse where every single person just#immediately accepts this reality and has no issues. not even taash 😭

Leaping across my walls and chewing on the bars of my cage about a romanced lich!emmrich timeline where rook dies and he becomes a super powerful tough boss fight for the next dragon age protagonist. And there's journal pages scattered around the area he's found in, detailing the months leading up to rook's death as well as the excruciating decline in his mental well-being and overall emotional stability following the loss. Maybe it was slow, something that couldn't be stopped but they both saw coming. Some sickness. He obsessed over finding a cure but he couldn't. No one could. And during the fight he has lines where he's just so emotionally fixated on rooks death and he's like "what was the point of it all, without you...." and "if I had just searched harder... longer..." and by the end of the boss fight the fifth protag is like "damn. I dunno if this guy deserved to die... he was pretty fucked up." And then they just move on and never speak of it again. It would be a minor side quest btw. Something that doesn't get much to reminisce about.
Or or or!!!! During the boss fight you get to meet rook. And it's horrible. It's awful. They've become twisted and vengeful and mindless. They're just bones but emmrich has made them glitter and shine with gems and gold and whatnot. But emmrich still just sees them like nothing's changed. He has lines about fixing them and "working out the kinks" or something. They're really annoying because their attacks are fast and hard to dodge. And they leap all over. Like an attack dog. Like a beast.
#datv spoilers#emmrich volkarin#I'm fine btw#just putting that middle aged man in situations#like normal#I got inspired by some of his lines about never letting them go#and his reasons for choosing lichdom#he would also be a boss you have to seek out yourself or stumble upon#so consumed by his grief and obsession that he isolated himself#but recently people have been complaining about bodies going missing.#the recently fallen never getting the proper rights and their families distraught#he's trying to bring them back just as they were. but you cant bring a soul back from death like that.#the closest he's ever gotten was when he did his speak with dead spell on them#and they begged him to let them go so he could have peace#but he just couldn't. how could he?#late night thoughts

tired of early 20-somethings acting like harry potter was never good or had no value in its day like shut the fuck up half of you weren't even there when it peaked
#sit with the cognitive dissonance like the rest of us or shut up honestly#was it a product of its time yes#was it's author a very basic neoliberal white lady from a country with a long and unchecked imperialist history yes#was the story influenced by said neoliberal worldviews and unexamined biases obviously#does any of that make it a bad story or an unimaginative world no#you can pick apart any fantasy world if you try hard enough#harry potter was a good telling of the hero's journey written in the format of seven mystery novels set against a fantasy backdrop#we can certainly talk about its flaws or how the author's biases leaked onto the page#but stop acting like it was never good and there was never a reason those books resonated with people#it's condescending for one thing and again- if you're younger than like...24-25 you didn't actually experience the heyday of the books#if you're 25 now you'd have been like 8 or 9 when the last book came out and probably weren't reading them yet#you might remember the latter half of the movie era but you have no idea how much it was the BOOKS that drove its popularity#never before and never since has any book series had the fanfare that harry potter did and that didn't happen for no reason#so find a way to make peace with that instead of acting intellectually superior because you grew up with percy jackson instead#this 'well MY generation's preferred childhood book series is morally superior to YOURS so I'm better than you' shit drives me up a wall#like get over yourself honestly#...sorry had to get that off my chest there was this youtube video and it was irritating me

the hack to surviving the pmd fandom is to not interact with explorers fans (<- guy that is an explorers fan)
#bwark#i live by this logic in the wider fandom by not interacting with anime xy fans and main series gen 5 fans (<- guy whose wife is a gen 5 fan)#fr sometimes im like hmm the pmd fandom is more peaceful than my experiences with the main series and anipoke fandoms#and now we're at the point where the creator of obt is getting sent SA fics because. her explorers comic adaptation features chatot#not even going into how annoying people are about canon chatot (we get it you never got over apple woods can we please talk about something#else)....this isn't even the same chatot? it's an adaptation with alterations???#as woo said keaton's character arc is still incomplete and this is how people are reacting to her fleshing him out more than canon chatot???#that's also not going into how people have called keaton a ''savage'' for obt's version of the perfect apple incident when woo has#stated that keaton is native-coded. like are you really putting yourself on the moral highground while saying severley racist shit#anyway what's the gti side of the fandom like. i know there's like 4 of you so it's looking much more peaceful#(I LOVE GTI IM JUST POKING FUN)

one thing I have noticed in the last few years of discourse about star wars canon is the attitude from some parts of fandom, where when people go "hey, I don't like this problematic aspect of canon/I don't like that this canon significantly contradicts the other", others will respond, stating that star wars is a tapestry of stories, and that it's fine, actually, because you can just take the parts you want and/or to just cobble one's own canon together from whatever.
this isn't bad advice per se, and if that's someone's preferred way of interpreting canon or dealing with discrepancies, I'm genuinely happy they reached that solution (hell, I even do it myself sometimes—rey mind-tricking finn and poe in the tros novelization is something I absolutely choose to ignore on account of it being ooc and not in the movie), but the majority of the time, I like treating canon as a puzzle that I can put together, and when some of the pieces simply can't fit right, or if there's blatant disrespect to the other stories in the tapestry (hi, caleb in tbb), I don't think it's wrong to be pissed at that and expect the corporate entity managing the product to do better.
#got reminded by it in the rc age discourse tags but it's been a running theme since pretty much the mandalorian#either way I'm very happy if people find their peace with canon but you are not better than people who want to interpret it as a whole#on a separate but related note this also applies to people who will bring legends material into a discussion about canon#without saying it's legends#like I'm very glad you have that interpretation but unless it's obvious that canon is being written with this legends supplement in mind#I am not worse than you for not bringing that material into my interpretation of a character#sw negativity#anyway!!!#also I know the mindset is 'why make yourself miserable with canon'#but sometimes gradually accepting it leads to fun things for me#I am not a fan of rey and kylo's romantic relationship and I was not a fan of the dyad#HOWEVER#forcing myself to accept that it's canon has led me to interpretations of those two characters I would not have had if I'd just tossed it o#and makes my experience of the ST canon richer#(also inspired my half-joking headcanon of rey finding a holocron of terec's and getting a 'how to detach from your force bond 101' lesson)
