#I'm just ranting like fr

[waylouder]

ranting about real world things for just the hottest second cux this blog is the only place my friends aren't

one of my friends gets so randomly passionate about things that don't make sense and it makes her angry if u don't agree and it just makes NO SENSE to me

example 1: one of our mutual friends was saying she felt like her year was a waste because she didn't go to college like she wanted to. she felt stagnant. this friends response was "how could you say that when you have children that's so disrespectful". I tried to explain that our mutual friend would never say that to her kid and that she was in a safe space to express her dissapointment in her personal achievements but my friends argument was, and I quote, "also like you decided to get married this year, and to word it as a "wasted year" idk i feel like would kinda sting" like hey babe... she's saying this away from her kids and away from her wife AND ITS NOT ABOUT EITHER OF THOSE TOPICS ITS ABOUT SCHOOLING like am I crazy for thinking u can be dissapointed in urself for one aspect of ur life but good about another??? crazy to call her "disrespectful" for venting in the venting channel of a discord

example 2: she saw an ad for a chest freezer that was converted to be an ice bath. she sent it to us like "this is insane" and I was like "oh haha ppl love ice baths look at this girl on tiktok who does them and even made a safe version for her kid" and her response was, and I quote, "idc if ppl are taking ice baths, that's some dumb shit. There’s a reason it was a thing to teach kids NOT to climb into a freezer" like okay?? this isn't child neglect. she's not putting her kid in an actual ice bath. WHAT. like her thing is that it's fucking stupid of that woman to show herself getting into an ice bath with a lid to her kid cuz the kid is gonna climb in and die. babe there's probably a MILLION safety precautions this woman takes to make sure her kid can't do that she's not inherently dumb for not paying a premium for a specially made ice bath when she can just convert a freezer.

like idk I love this friend but she gets so passionate about calling people out for being dumb or mean or whatever and sometimes I feel like she goes too far but will NEVER admit she's done so. it's annoying.

I feel like... there's smth about it. it's not all that good, bc the pose is a bit awkward, perspective is a nice attempt but a little off and I drew quickly without thinking, later couldn't fix it/was too lazy/had no time, but the colors, the shading... idk, I'm oddly a fan of it so I'm throwing it here.

see it as practice/warmup. I'll never get to smth better if I don't let myself fail a bunch of times first. don't be afraid of failing.

I wish dating Sim games/otome games or whatever were gender neutral or you got the ability to choose your pronouns like in The Arcana :( I know gay guys who play dating sims is a small demographic but please please pleasepleaseplease just let me pick my pronouns so I can immerse myself in the Anime Men Romance Simulator without feeling dysphoric 🥲

thinking about how Mayesh is the mirror for the Ashkar people - being human in the eyes of House Aurelian means that they think all Ashkar are human. He protects them all in this way, ensuring that the Sault will be safe and that what happened in Malgasi (murdering all Ashkar) will not happen in Castellane.

this also applies to Kel, in a way. Kel is the person Conor loves/cares for above all others, yet he is a common citizen of Castellane - technically, the lowest possible class, since Kel is an orphan without a significant name, and family names are the most important source of power in Castellane. therefore, Kel is the mirror for the common people of Castellane - although he is considered an object/property in the eyes of nearly all of House Aurelian, being human in the eyes of Conor, the person who will one day be King, shows the future ruler that the people he rules are actual PEOPLE, not just subjects to use and manipulate to the ruler's liking. in this way, Kel protects the commoners of Castellane, which is so interesting. we see him do this multiple times in Sword Catcher when he is trying to instill empathy in Conor for others, including Lin (when Kel talks sense into Conor and and says "do you want her to be afraid of you?" which really hits Conor hard because he doesn't realize the full scope of his power and the fact that he uses it carelessly).

and what makes this more insane is the way that Mayesh doesn't even see Kel as a human, just an object, even though they serve similar important purposes for their respective classes. on my third read of Sword Catcher, I really honed in on the way that Mayesh treats Kel, and he really does not treat him as a damn human being!!! it's so awful. the hypocrisy of Mayesh is so wild, he is such an interesting character because of all his contradictions. anyways i'm so unwell about this!!!

I love how Lili is characterized man... So much

She's not girly, and she's not just a stereotypical tom-boy either

She's aloof, sassy and tough but still feminine and sweet like istg she was MADE for me I've never related to a girl more

[tifa-simp]

I don't take anyone who says Tifa only likes Cloud when he does hero badass thing seriously, as if she isn't the first one to rush to him everytime he acts unhinged or has an episode. Like y'all, c'mon now, I don't care who you ship Cloud with, but open your eyes and play the damn game! Ever since Remake, she's always noticed when he has headache and in Rebirth she basically spends the whole game looking after him, especially in the Temple when he's on a killing spree. This girl cares about him so much, she always encourages him to do things he enjoys and steps in when he goes overboard. Saying Tifa only cares about Cloud doing badass shit is just laughable in everyway. Why do they make it sound like Tifa is some cheerleader on the side while in fact most of the time, she's right next to him doing bad ass hero thing too.

If Tifa really just sees Cloud that way, she wouldn't have to the first to stop him from killing the Turks mercilessly, or the only one carries him out in Shinra mansion, or later stays with him when he's in comatose while the world is ending. Why risking her life and attention and time for a Soldier who can't stand straight? Think!

You don't even have to read Trace of two pasts in which blatantly states that Tifa likes Cloud for being a normal boy, you just have to play the game with open eyes. Maybe don't act like you have no idea about the lore and ppl won't call you so.

Does this look like a girl who only cares when her crush does "bad ass SOLDIER things"???

[lameotello]

I hate that we've gone from "don't like, don't read" and not caring about what fucked up shit is depicted in fan media as a standard to hypervigilance and having to mind your every word so the group you've found yourself in doesn't know you ship the Not HOA Approved Ship

[koffeekeipng]

(This is kinda a pt 2 if you want serious text I'd check my previous post/Iori post ASUHADSHUH) As a last huzzah to the series have a (definitely VERY serious) Amahiko doing the anime girl ass and tits pose, because I think he's the only character who should have the rights and ability to do that pose. Unfortunately, out of all the cast's solos I get his stuck in my head the most, and as much as I love this guy I am asexual and it feels a little too ironic SHJDJUHHJD

I hope y'all get some amusement out of this strange creature but also I think it's much funnier to draw this pose yourself than to see it. So draw Amahiko ass. For the bit. We can take over the art industry with a great cause

If you want to see more serious drawings and the rest of the cast ASUHHUDHAD check the #crsm tag on my page! thank y'all again for sticking around!!

spike you loser. you absolute nutjob loser. also once again spike charming all of buffy's family is wild behavior and i fully support him in it

[lightofjedi]

I wish people understood that a female character being written by a dude who objectify and sexualize her is not her fault but the writter's, and that going on about the importance of not sexualizing female characters while simultaneously using said sexualization as a reason to sprout misogynistic remarks about and dehumanising sexualized female characters just shows your hypocrisy and how little you actually care about women.

Continuing the rant-iness of last post's notes onto this one i think (I appreciate if they're read, i think I'm too self-conscious to have them in the post itself)

how to feel excited about my own projects again

[fr-thecollectors]

it's one thing to not like a dragon's design

it's one thing to be triggered or squicked by aspects of a design

it's one thing to redesign a dragon or adjust things so you do like it

it's uh. Very Much Another to "rework" one of the few fat dragons we've got to make it super skinny. 😑

(and before anyone tries to shove the "well you're not in light blah blah blah" bullshit down my throat i've been seeing in the forums and even on here. i don't like my own flight's ancient. i was disappointed when auras were released, but i shrugged, moved on, and hoped the next release would be more my taste)
