So one thing I like about Time is that he will talk about his life and journeys
He talks about it! He'll tell the boys stories and answer questions. (...when asked)
Obviously he tells his family- Malon knows everything
But he has also never held back from telling the boys stories or answering questions
I'm still always cackling over him telling them about gerudo town- he is way too proud to brag about being a mischievous gremlin
"I proved to be a greater thief than all of ganons tribe"- oh yeah. He's definitely the good influence. (That's sarcasm, Wars is the one good example for the younger ones.)
He just. He looks so smug to tell them about his experiences with the Gerudo- I love how often we see him just talking to them and answering questions about his life.
Even if it's clearly painful memories- he has still always told them
*sobs*
Obviously Time talks to Twilight the most about stuff- and everyone knows that (to where Sky went to him for questions about Time)
But the thing that get me the most is Wind.
Wind asked about... everything! Wind asked about his first journey and his life- and Time told him
The sheer transition from
"I was wondering... about your original journey"
To
"You told me about your original journey. Everything you said... the sages you described, the old traditions, the old stories- all of it! ...)
And this literally drives me insane because Time told him- Time told him everything! He told him about the sages, traditions- Time literally openly talked to Wind about his first Journey because he asked.
The Hero of Time's story had always been a tragedy- I mean... yikes. Trauma much? But I think people overlook this part of him- that he's older. All the hurt and scars are still there, but he has learned to talk about it to deal with it. And I think I know why- (Read)
Malon Malon Malon Malon!!! Jojo showed this set up for their marriage- Time was and is traumatized. But he and Malon worked to talk through things. I mean. Can you imagine keeping secrets from Malon? I don't want to. I feel like she would throw a cow at me. Anyways.
It takes a lot to work through trauma and learn to talk through it. Malon claimed him tho, so I don't think he had a choice. But seriously- she helped him work through things as family. Which led to a successful marriage for both of them, and got Time to where he can talk about these things with the boys :D
But
Time is a troll, so although he will share his insane life stories.... he will also say he fought the moon with no more context, and tell his wife that they have a descendant but not freaking tell her which one it is.
He's so insane I love it <3
Just don't forget this part of him... don't forget that rather it's sad or goofy or whatever- he will talk about his life. If someone simply asks
:)

That moment in The Usual Suspects when they are talking to the victim's wife and Sam's being all empathetic and Dean says something stupid and Sam looks at him annoyed and there's this blink and you miss it flicker back to forehead crinkle empathy as he glances back at the wife and then back to Dean and he's annoyed again. Top 5 witnessing Sam masking and unmasking moment. To ME.
#sam winchester#i love the whole scene cause it's a really good example of how Sam we know is very empathetic#but he's also very adept at performing empathy when needed#and immediately speaks to me as someone who as part of masking has learnt to perform empathy in a way recognisable to NT#and then has gotten even better at it cause its a useful ability for his 'job'#anyways it's a really great little acting moment from Jared cause its literally like a fraction of a second#someone gif this for me please i need to keep thinking about it#spn#s2#so get this#alsooo would just like to note earlier in the episode Sam sniffs his coffee before drinking it :')

I think some people believe asking questions on anon is like them strapping the person they are asking to a chair and turning on a single bare lightbulb and performing an interrogation. But really the experience of getting one of those questions is that of being hollered at by someone sitting in the passenger's side of their best friend's ride.
#this isn't about any recent questions i just was thinking about the way some anons CLEARLY perceive anon#like yes you are masked but you don't get to pick the mask. sometimes i assume you are wearing a ronald reagan mask for example

valgrace except jason is an international superstar and prodigy in football and leo is known worldwide for his podcast who brings special guests on his shows like piper mclean who’s made a name for herself in historical dramas always in the lead of a warrior, architect annabeth chase who’s been granted the honor of rebuilding the temples and ruins in greece and rome with her olympic swimmer boyfriend percy jackson.
and by popular demand, the public requested jason grace to be on hephaestus’ forge. leo, always the good host, obliges and reaches out to jason.
what the audience doesn’t know is that leo and jason have known eachother for years, running in the same crowd during middle school and high school despite being interested in different things. like all close best friends, they parted ways due to university and internships across the country. but they parted with a kiss goodbye, a promise to one another that held up since they were young.
so when jason finally arrives onto the scene, leo feels everything rush back and now that the season is over, jason plans to stay in new york.
#valgrace#leo valdez#jason grace#pjo#hoo#percy jackon and the olympians#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#fic#my writing#this is SO DETAILED for a valgrace except my gods#please and i was gonna expand on like the rest of the seven + their s/os#like for example#nico hazel and bianca have a paranormal youtube channel and travel around the world because they’re all gifted with clairsenses#will followed in the footsteps of his older brother and became a surgeon#frank and reyna are regulars on the underworld siblings’ channel bc rey is empathic while frank is sensitive to energy#thalia is a professional archer#etc etc#and they all just travel around#still solid and growing strong after their school years so they occasionally keep in touch and all#except for jason but leo has always kept up with him#jason tunes into the uploaded vods of the podcast on youtube to relax and wind down and even just listen to leo’s voice#will i ever write this? no absolute idea#HOWEVER it is free to use for prompts or whatever#also wrote this in the shower#i have a hair mask on

With all love in the world to fic writers, and this isn't a set criticism just a trend, being a British person and seeing what colloquialism people have Wyll use will absolutely take me out of a fic at points. Like this is difficult and I'm not gonna hold it against any writer who does this but I very much do notice it. I don't even have advice because so much of it is a weird feel thing of the type of age of the people who use certain slang.
Wyll talks with pretty archaic British slang. It's not too ancient. It's still like stuff you might hear an older guy say, but it gives a certain feel to him speech of it being kinda old fashioned.
But sometimes people either don't get this or, honestly more common in what I see because most of the fics I read are from people who do understand him, people who, fairly because they aren't from here so wouldn't know, use slang that feels a little too modern and it just reads like Astarion just called someone bro.
But I don't know how to explain that lad singular is a word he does use in canon and makes sense, but lads plural feels so fundamentally wrong.
#bg3#baldurs gate 3#wyll ravengard#wyll saying lads is like... is he gping to nandos?#is my buddy wyll gonna go get pissed with me at spoons?#are we gonna have a greggs after?#it goes from like this carefuky curated mask he has of sounding like a fairy tale hero#but one who isnt above the people#to like “oi wyll mate do you wanna pop out for a fag round the bins”#its so subtle though i get why this is an issue#you can uses lad in a modern context but its gonna be different from how he speaks#like “oh jonny boy is a real lad” would work but thats not wylls speaking style#its not just lads ive seen other examples of this too#and its funny to me every time#i would like to go get a nandos with wyll though#and a spoons. i wanna see him down a pitcher and then we can both get plaster and wind up at someones house 4 hours later#where we can both cry about our daddy issues and dead mothers#wyll would be anti cocktail but he would be pro spoons pitcher#its about the vibes of the drink to me

delighted though i am for ghost's growing success i'm keeping my fingers crossed for an obviously low-budget ghovie like the chapters before it. because the papa nihil darth vader breathing and seestor's car crash montage and the shitty nihil ghost effects and copia living in the hall outside a bathroom with no door etc all add a certain je ne sais quoi
#the ghe ne sais quoi#the band ghost#rite here rite now#it's all a little bit crusty and that leaves room for things like#his father his father's father his f... being repeated audio#because that was so much more effort than just getting the actor to say it#but it was funny so they did it#and even though it sounded like shit it fit with the whole low budget vibe#further examples: the dead papas with blatantly different masks from what they all used onstage sjhdbcjh#also the constant seestor replacements... it's all so good when it's a bit shit#begging them never to take themselves too seriously#i have full faith in tobias and his scandinavian humour tho don't get me wrong#very excited

Masked characters who never reveal their face/you rarely see their face my forever beloved i know u have a face under there but that mask is your face and I'm giving it a kiss even if you don't feel it
#many masked characters have my heart just cause it's literally one of the BEST character design choices ever#like hunk resident evil wouldn't be as fucking COOL if we saw his face right? that mask is part of his identity and his character#master chief another example if we dont count the show WHICH WE WONT#master chief probably being the prime example of a masked character#doom guy is one of my fav masked characters cause you CAN see his face sometimes but its always a RARE moment to see it#we dont need to see his face 24/7 cause he already gives off so much character through his body language#you can FEEL his anger and hatred for the thing's he kill's without EVER seeing his facial expression's#of course the original doom's also has a head icon showing you his emotions but the newer doom's REALLY leaned on the masked side of him#samus another great example#metroid dread is literally my favorite metroid game for what it does with her and the animation's they do for her#you can just FEEL and see what she's thinking/feeling/commiting too in every interaction#shes so quiet and stoic and when we do see her face its used to GREAT effect#samus is my fav masked character probably everytime i think back on her its always like omg...shes so cool...

Please tell me about art and media you know of that accurately captures the weirdness of dream logic and atmosphere and emotions... books and movies and video games and art and comics and YouTube stuff, whatever you want... you know, where it only makes sense on an intuitive level and falls apart when you try to explain it...
#im trying to think of examples#a great one is mullholland drive by david lynch#also actually some of david firth's (salad fingers guy's) sock series animations did that so well for me back in the day#like you know where something or someone or a place can be two things at the same time in the dream?#and how something weird and silly can have the strongest serious emotions attached to it#and how stories within stories happen#eternal sunshine of the spotless mind#was good w these vibes#silent hill 2 as well and sort of majora's mask#the book orlando#actually you know what i just rewatched a bunch of david firth's cartoons and Pulch: The Good Times is actually a better dreamlike one#than some of his dream series to me somehow#the way it has this wistful tragic nostalgic nonsense vibe that like you'd probably find deep and sad while having the dream#but upon waking it both makes no sense and seems stupid and funny instead if you were to try to explain it#also the nightmarish one about soup or wtv#when the little person gets all upset about her soup being stolen hahaha and then the creepy guy goes 'you forgot your hammer'#anywayssss#many of these things have stuck in my head since like 2007 or wtv idk theyre just fun#Sock 4: Sock Lops is good for the weird narrative jumping dream logic vibes#if you can stand to watch that much 2000s newgrounds edgy animation in this day and age...#p

Question for the ttcc fans out there; How do you think the managers (without mouths) eat/drink?
Genuinely so curious about what people think bc I realized I’ve never really seen anyone try to draw that so I’m wondering if that’s just bc no one has ideas or if it’s simply bc they’ve never had a reason to
#I know there’s a whole post somewhere of ideas on how Chip eats but like what abt the rest#this doesn’t count Misty and Prester considering most people just have them pull the masks down#but like.. Mary Ben Brian or Holly for example#toontown#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#toontown managers

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

Something I read in Dr. Laura Anderson's book "When Religion Hurts You" is that healing - from any kind of trauma - involves returning to a felt sense of safety.
I don't know how return to a felt sense of safety when we're in the 5th year of a pandemic, witnessing multiple genocides, living under capitalism and colonialism, as the planet is burning.
I keep reading posts about how the solution to despair is organizing and getting in community, but I don't feel safe in my community. How could I feel safe when the virus that disabled me with ME/CFS is still spreading unchecked, I have a suppressed immune system, most people's vaccines aren't up to date, and almost no one is masking anymore?
"Build community." As a traumatized autistic person, who has lost my community multiple times before? As an immunocompromised person, who is at risk in all public spaces? As a chronically ill person, who can barely do anything most days?
How do you build community when people ignore your access needs? How do you build community when people don't like or understand the way you communicate? How do you build community when no one around you shares your values, and you find it nearly impossible to maintain online connections?
My whole life has been me trying to reach out and build community, fucking it up or getting hurt, and winding up alone again and again.
#this is about more than masks but it is an easy example of 1 thing i need#i have a couple loved ones who consistently mask and who my grief feels safe with and im so thankful#some of them will mask when they see me without being asked#some of them will mask but only if asked#even though i have expressed that i hate having to ask#besides masks the rest of my politics are considered radical irl#and i live in a pretty conservative area with very few friends#most of them 'just arent political' or care about politics except for covid#i feel very alone#i feel like i have no one to talk to about this ongoing mass disabling event that is affecting me#personal#vent#chronic illness#mecfs#still masking#still coviding

I think the thing that makes masking disability very complex is that often, masking is done to protect one's self, but you still don't know exactly how you'll be perceived by other people, and if you're safe in the ways you want to be. Something I've learned more and more is that... you often can't "fully mask" in the sense that there are certain blindspots you may miss. My flat, monotonous affect stems from autism, and while I can (and do) mask other traits, I can never mask that trait. But, the thing is that I don't detect that I am monotonous, and I only learned that because other people perceived me that way and actually told me. That's what I mean by masking only goes so far, often.
#disability#autism#for me the things that disable me are 'invisible' and in theory i could mask it#but that's the thing about theories... they don't always apply in the real world#this is not me saying that i have it worse but that i think this conversation is nuanced and can easily be different from person to person#i truly thought i DIDN'T have a monotonous voice around people i like. because i percoeved myself as more expressive...#...HOWEVER that isn't picked up on by other people#i think this is a mild example which feels a bit less personal so i'm willing to share it to Make A Point#again i'm not saying i've got the One And Only Experience Ever - just that masking is really nuanced and messy#and many people cannot mask ever and that brings its own unique challenges! and that's a conversation WORTH having too#but i leave it to people who actually have those experiences because while i follow no-masking people i still don't always Get It
