Only if the battle is unfair, I'm guessing.

master artist and his number one fan

guy who is being so normal about the new additions to their profiles. i think abt midoris initial infatuation with his art slowly developing into appreciating yuzuru himself as a person and idol to the point he worries about how he sees him (ex: a bit of home party and in workplace survival rules) sometimes thats a lie i think about it a lot. and yuzuru learning to enjoy art just for the sake of drawing!! seeing the lets try diy story where he doesnt even refute drawing on midoris desk and was only worried that his doodles might cover up the mascot design compared to how discouraged he usually would be in earlier ! stories. everything to me i adore their dynamic if that wasnt obvious by *gestures to basically everything*

and happy pride month 🏳‍🌈

A cool positive to learning Hebrew is I'm left-handed, so if I ever learn to write Hebrew, I won't ever have to deal with pen smudges on my pinky 🤩

Im doing a lot of thinking abt why roleplaying feels different/less natural for me in beastlife s4 in comparison to s3, and i think it’s because there’s ways i know i should be feeling (based on the perception of my character— when i was fresh out of s2 nobody knew enough about my guy to have opinions) vs how i am feeling. I’m catching myself thinking, “it wouldn’t make sense for my character to [blank],” and it’s like… what do i mean by that. what do i mean that this feeling im having in-session “wouldnt make sense for my character” to feel? It might be surprising to other beasts who know me for one thing and expect consistency, i guess?? but in s3 i just acted on feelings and then shit happened. what. why am i trying to enforce a character that does not exist when the strength of mcrp lies in its improvisational nature. I didn’t write this guy on purpose, why am i trying to write him now

the difference between good whispangle and bad whispangle is the difference between trusting each other the most and only trusting each other. between getting stuck in the past or letting the future embrace you. between holding a close bond and being desperate for each other’s company. between being a pair and being a unit.

good whispangle is tangle helping whisper stay in the present and future, and whisper being a guiding hand, a steadying of tangle’s impulse, and the both of them making choices that help and comfort the other.

bad whispangle is tangle getting dragged into dwelling on the past with whisper, is tangle being made to overstep instead of minding the lines she should be able to see, and whisper sinking into a mire that tangle follows her into instead of pulling her from. is putting them together ‘because they’re whispangle’ and forgetting why they were loved together in the first place. is keeping them together because they’re whispangle, even when they trod on the other.

and the difference is,

that if it starts out bad and becomes better, it’s satisfying, heartening.

but to start out excellent and then get worse and decay, feels like a smear or a stain on top of a beloved work.

a natural decay can be done, but we want them to be good together, to bring out the best in each other instead of enabling the worst. if we want to see decay, it is because it makes sense for one or both of them to be driven off-balance and start messing with the other, we want one or both of them to realize this, and we want them to have to jump-start and kick aside and course-correct and come out all the better, for having broken their flaws open and mended them with gold.

we don’t want to see them broken apart and stuck back together with cheap glitter glue.

The worse the current situation gets, the more pissed off I get talking to liberals.

Like, academically I have always known that liberalism is deeply hypocritical, and they're at best, situational allies. But, like, this shit is getting real, and they still talk about this like it's a game.

They're still talking about the laws, precedents, institutions. They're still making quips about the orange man. Pointing out his hypocrisy as if anyone has ever given a shit except them.

"there's a hundred years of precedent behind that one" as if the Supreme Court can be trusted with anything whatsoever

"Ah he can only do that to enemies of the state" as if he doesn't decide who the enemies are. As if being an enemy of the state should deprive someone of their humanity.

"I'm more worried about the Islamic terrorists he's going to create by antagonizing the middle east" as if, just, honestly what the fuck... I don't even have words for that one...

"oh it's fine, he won't come for us" as if we aren't already at the first line of the poem. It might have different names but it's the same story: "First they came for the illegal immigrants..."

I had someone seriously try to argue that "don't worry the senate majority leader said he kinda didn't like him once, he'll stop this" and just like, how the fuck can you say that with a straight face?

It's all as if they don't see the aspiring dictator and his council of theocrats explaining their plans to destroy the world in plain English. As if everything we had that was supposed to stop this from happening hasn't already failed. As if millions of people aren't about to die.

Like, I understand upholding our institutions and using the law to slow him down is incredibly important right now. My sincere hope is that he gets tangled up in this for long enough he doesn't have time to change the laws and secure the keys to power tightly enough to crown himself king.

But fuck man, even like half of my best case scenarios right now still involve me leaving the country. Even just the stuff that's already explicitly in his power to do is fucking evil. Fascism isn't just a thing we're worried about happening in the future it's here right now.

This isn't his presidency, this is a Heritage Foundation presidency. I don't give a shit what dumb shit he says he's so blatantly and openly a puppet for them he might as well have strings coming out of his wrists. This man does not give a shit that he is president, he just knows if he gives the theocrats what they want and if he signs what they put in front of him, he gets to play golf for 4 years and become richer and more powerful than he's ever been.

There is a shadowy organization controlling the government, that has been in politics for decades, is powerful and well connected. An organization that has spent every one of those decades trying to kill me and anyone like me, and it's not a wild conspiracy, it's empirically verifiable fact, being openly published to the world.

I feel like I'm going crazy, watching what's going on right now, I keep explaining it to people and I sound crazy too, but then they listen to what I'm saying and they can't dispute any of it. So either I'm just way too good at arguing why things are dire, or this shit is real, and we're watching history repeat itself.

And these fucking liberals are here acting as if they aren't included in the last line of that poem. As if I'm not right in front of them terrified because I know I'm like the second or third at best.

I've already had to cancel my name change because of what's on the horizon. This isn't a game, this isn't a joke. "Running away to Canada" isn't hyperbole to joke about at a cocktail party to me... I am filling out my passport paperwork and I can barely hold my fucking pen straight because I'm so scared. I'm so scared. I have to go back to therapy because I'm genuinely worried I could be on the verge of a psychotic break over this shit. I'm so fucking paranoid now. The echoes of history are screaming in my head. I look at the world in front of us and all I can see is lovecraft, a cosmically terrifying planetary work machine choking all corners of the globe, fueled by blood and suffering, with no goal other than to perpetuate itself by any means necessary. I've seen it's face. It didn't have a face before...

Like I'm at my fucking limit, why the fuck should I have any expectation that liberalism will suddenly start working now. Why should I believe any part of this system was ever actually designed to protect me.

I know right now, we're only at the south bank of the Rubicon... it's not completely over yet... but we've seen this before... Caesar didn't stop there... and neither did anyone else...

If me and my friends weren't still fighting to keep each other above water, I'd have been dead last week.

Humanity was not built for this, we were never built for this...

I wasn't supposed to see this... I wasn't supposed to know all this...

I was just supposed to be this weird looking monkey picking berries in the forest and sharing them with my friends...

How do I go to my desk on Monday and act like everything is normal...

Does anyone else find that music gives them inspiration for stories? Im working on my first game's story rn and quite a few songs have helped me figure out what i want some of the places/characters to be like

Spider Girl and 1000 Doors helped so much with thinking up a certain part of the game😭

In terms of dialogue, Ive got some dialogue options for a shopkeeper but nothing past that💔

my uninformed american opinion is that i will be calling it derry not londonderry because im american and therefore will always support ireland if its ireland vs the british.

atp i think the difference btwn my take on danny in re:animated au vs where he's more canon compliant is his relationship to being a hero
