#I am sorry I just....think about this alot

[princessfroslass]

ok but....had you considered that if Angel used to live on the studio, so did Fat Nuggets....do you think that whenever Val entered his room (cause it's obvious he did) Angel would tell him to hide under the bed until the coast was clear? Nuggs was a gift from Val, what stops him from using it the way he used Charlie to get Angel to comply?....Do you think things got ugly and Nuggs ever tried to do something only to- get kicked across the room? Do you ever think Angel begged Val to leave him alone and to focus on him even when bleeding and bruised already?

I don't feel loved

[abandonedsdjfhcvndfbv]

Both 27 year olds in wh go crazy age regressing Charlie in a more physical manner (literal 10yr old body and for example her penchant for plushie-collecting) Ashe it just happens to him tragically mostly when talking to Noel it's not his fault he happens to trigger the most vulnerable emotions in Ashe on accident every single time (sorry i mentioned them once but then i went off about them in tags.) Charlie and Ashe parallels are so intriguing for real. Something is wrong with you guys

how is ayato treated as the more important sibling when hes the regular butt of everyone's joke daily? ayaka gets wayyy better treatment than him

Ayato is the more common fan favorite of a sibling - regardless if he's the butt of any jokes, EVERYTHING in the Inazuman archon quests were of Ayaka's doing yet I constantly see her side stepped and Ayato treated as if he holds far more power than her being the technical head of the household, despite both of them being important political figures both with their own influences. Every other character in this game is the butt of some sort of joke but the bottom line was that I see immense dick riding and glorification of his existence, when his story quest was boiled down to being about everybody but him and he had genuine zero purpose in the general story aside from being the leader of the Shuumatsuban, which is a role Ayaka just as well could fufil. The point is I see far more Ayato fans and glorification, when the most I see of Ayaka nine times out of ten is either gross Aether harem content, or forehead jokes.

As to Ayaka's characterization I cannot fucking comprehend how. Wrong, that feels? Never once does she say "why won't people be my friends :(" she says that she understands her position of power and idolization is an important one and an isolating one where she HAS relationships but she feels nothing can be a REAL friendship like any other person could have because it will ALWAYS boil down to her status as a political figure, and she desperately wanted to befriend the traveler because they were the one person as an outlander she could be a real friend with and not connect it back to her status. She understands why she cannot have many friends and it is a sorrow she internalizes and wishes to share with the ONE person who she can.

Hey you know who else is a male character who understand and laments that they have near zero personal relationships disconnected to their status, role, or inherent life burden, that lament about this to the Traveler and consider them their only true friend they could ever confide in due to the nature of Traveler's existence, and would drop anything and everything to the Traveler's whim because they value them so much?

Xiao.

There's no male character that goes "w-w-w-w-w-why is nobody my friend :(" and neither is there a female one, because Ayaka does not ask why she has no friends, she's fucking lonely because she understands she cannot have many. I want to be really mean nonnie but I just. It feels a bit like you're proving the point of the whole post - which was Ayaka, along with these other two, being boiled down to underappreciated mischaracterizations when the men who play similar or lesser roles are far more glorified.

You ever sit in a fandom space for so long that now looking at it kind of makes you want to rip your nails off.

Yeah.

Please ignore this it's almost 1am and I can't sleep and am full of vinegar ...laying in bed stuck with my thoughts and man do they suck, for months all I've been doing it feeling guilty and horrible about myself and hoping to talk to people in hopes of apologizing and making burned ends less burnt.. I'm coming to the realization that it's never going to happen and need to just give up, I wont be getting my chance to speak.. I want to be forgiven, but at the same time, thinking about the pass two years and how angry I actually am about how things were stated and also parts left out, the forgiveness I deeply want really means nothing to me. if anything it's acted as a fuckin poison to my brain to constantly hope and think about it on a daily bases. Stuck thinking about how everyone hates me and not having a way out like a mouse stuck in a burning cage.

I miss drawing the things I liked, all my Fav OC's I now kinda hate due to having to throw them in the corner, forcing myself to redo them all when in the end not really having a good purpose to do so.

I don't know how to bounce back anymore but I have no choice but to try and walk away anyways. I'll find something that will click again and meet new people.

Barbie

Gloria×Barbie (Glorbie?)

Title: why

Cw: incontinence, vomiting

I am just going to post this because I will never post if I don't

There isn't an ending, it's just - Barbie has never actually had an actual body before. She is skipping through infancy, adolescence, puberty - and her body is new. But like, bodies fucking suck.

Barbie's first night as a human in a human world was in fact, not perfect.

After she left Barbieland for the last time - all the other barbies had gathered to watch them leave, standing and waving at Barbie, Gloria, Sasha, and the board of Mattel drove into the sunset.

Barbie had been excited as she set out down the highway, passing the Barbie construction crew already cleaning up the brick tower that the Ken's had been building (though Sasha and Gloria didn't know why the Ken's had built it up instead of sideways either, but it made leaving easier!)

Gloria was worried about getting Sasha home in time for school, so they had left as soon as they could. They traveled through the mountains, through the sea, to the stars, and finally to reality.

And after everyone has said goodbye again, Barbie had followed Gloria and Sasha home.

That's when she learned that there were parts of being human she was not expecting - like the pressure building behind her eyes and the weakness in her legs.

There were so many things to do, and for the first time in her existence, Barbie felt tired. And a little scared, because she wasn't sure what was next.

She had decided to be human, but Sasha had asked her about what her job was, and Gloria had just said it's fine in a way that meant it wasn't really fine, and she had food for the first time and it was too much.

She thought food wasn't supposed to hurt when you ate it, but apparently humans enjoyed food that hurt - and then she had thrown up for the first time in her existence too.

She knew, theoretically, about throwing up, but actually throwing up was something else entirely. Sasha was never going to forgive her for throwing up on her.

Now Sasha thought she was a fascist and gross, and she didn't have a job or a house, or a car.

Barbie rested her head against the cool porcelain seat in the bathroom she had fled to after opening her mouth to respond to Sasha's totally normal question only to just drip out vomit.

She kind of wished she could talk to Dr. Barbie, or Weird Barbie, even though she knew it wasn't going to actually help.

Her head hurt, and her legs hurt, and her stomach hurt - she didn't know what pain was, before. Not like this.

There was a gentle knock at the door, and she jumped a little and then screamed when she felt something warm trickling down her legs as Gloria was suddenly in the bathroom and Barbie realized she was just sitting in front of Gloria's toilet, and she probably looked like a disaster.

And that she might have just peed for the first time in her life, and her stomach felt better at least.

Gloria was paused in the doorway, staring at her with wide eyes and Barbie couldn't help it anymore, she started laughing. She was pretty sure there were tears and snot running down her face too, but she just, couldn't stop laughing at just how absurd this was.

Just last week she had been in Barbieland and she had never even dreamed of anything but doing the exact same thing, over and over again, and now here she was, changing.

Was there beauty in this? Was that all she was?

"Sweetheart, no, no - that's, that's not all you are." Gloria's voice came from behind her as she felt the warmth of Gloria's hands rest lightly on her shoulders, pulling her into a hug. "I'm still not 100% sure what just happened, and I'm not quite ready to get into any metaphysical conversations, but you did everything you could. "

Barbie felt a pang of guilt as she remembered when she just gave up, and let herself go.

Gloria was rubbing small, comforting circles into her shoulder, and she let herself lean into Gloria's touch just a little. Barbie couldn't believe just how warm Gloria's hands were. How alive they felt.

"I feel like I let myself go," Gloria's hands paused briefly before squeezing her shoulders. A sob ripped its way through her chest, drowning out her next words as she grabbed at Gloria's hand.

"Oh, no, honey -'

i know im not alone on this but i also know this statement is like waving a stick at a hornets nest. my overall memories and nostalgia related to hetalia are generally not bad and i think it may have saved a depression-riddled middle school aged me from being lured towards way darker and more mentally damaging content or online groups

It’s difficult to not feel discouraged sometimes when your partner is also an artist and happens to be faster than you in every conceivable way

This doesn’t bother me often because everyone is different and comparing production time and skill against each other or anyone is detrimental mostly and its ok to have your own workflow

but it does weigh on me vaguely sometimes sometimes that she can finish 2-3 full coloured pieces within a week and ive been painfully scratching out the same number but theyre only sketches that ill never revisit within a month

None of this actually matters in the long run, it just makes me feel bad on occasion

[robocops-a-christ-allegory]

I am so fucking sick of these stupid arguments. People know bootstrap idealolgy is garbage until its time to own the tech bros or whatever about art and all of the sudden its STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!! Like fuck you people. I dont even agree with the OP being quote retweeted here but suddenly everybodys a small business owner talking about how you can do anything you want if you just knuckle down and WORK when it comes to art when you know damn well thats not how reality works. Fucking assholes

on one hand i think a lot of college is fake woke shit and people who will go work for a corporation as soon as they leave. on the other hand im gonna miss walking into a classroom the first day and the professor immediately opening using text from the communist manifesto bc theres a baseline expectation that people wont be immediately opposed to communism (whereas in my conservative home town my teachers would belittle me for not being an ardent capitalist). or the experience of another prof being so enraptured by his own argument against capitalism he unconsciously threw a marker across the classroom. and a lot of other subtle stuff. like the assumption people wont be homophobic or will make an effort with pronouns etc, and you can make jokes about this stuff and people will find it funny (in contrast me making a joke this summer in different environment about all clothes being gender neutral and shocking someone). Like even if its just performative, i’ll miss that expectation of leftist politics when i leave college
