#I'm not phrasing it well but yeah.

i'm no longer in college and i have relatively niche and abrasive hobbies so i've been able to pretty much entirely rid myself of the presence of "chaos gremlin" type white queer people. it's pretty nice and i recommend it

everyone on here loves laios for his autism swag but if half of yinz met someone like him in real life you'd be like "i don't know,,, he makes me uncomfy. something about him just gives me bad vibes, you know? :/" (and the "bad vibes" you'd be picking up on are just. signs of autism)

I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."

Girl, help, the book authors are trying too hard to be "hip" with the fleeting "teen lingo" and trends again, immediately dating their works before they're even released

actually. the specific phrasing that boy Kevin wants to kill older Kevin with "I must disassemble him, piece by piece, so that everything inside of the Old Kevin comes out. Only then can the New Kevin truly begin." is so incredibly the idea that to heal from trauma and "improve" you have to destroy every "wrong" part of yourself, that everything "tainted" by it has to somehow be replaced by something untouched (which isn't possible)

getting a number of tags like these on my post and idk. like i want to say that i'm an extremely big fan of the importance of context & setting when it comes to approaching history, it's deeply important to keep in mind at every point. but at the same time i feel really weird about how much people feel the instinctive need to separate roman slavery and e.g. 19th century slavery, & how uncomfortable people seem to be with any comparison or association between the two beyond 'both being slavery'. there were absolutely notable differences (the racial aspect for a major one) but the way people seem to sort of historically quarantine them as things that happened entirely independently of each other & not acknowledge any similar systems or characteristics that might draw parallels between the two is. idk. i think historical comparison can be a very valuable tool & i feel like it's worth examining why people think there's nothing at all roman in 19th c slavery etc etc

You know what's fucking stupid? The little mean voice inside my head that tells me being in a fandom is childish and "aren't you too old for that" and "aren't you feeling ridiculous caring (and projecting) so much for/onto fictional characters" bc literally no MUM, I'm in fact just doing what I love and it's cruel that I feel ridiculous to this day that I'm building up my personality through fictional characters bc I never knew who I really was and fandoms are giving me the opportunity to explore that. Yes ofc that's not "normal" or whatever but is it really that bad? Like I'm feeling better through that, it's giving me motivation to do things. So yeah... Thanks.. another reason I have to unlearn shame I suppose.

vent! :3 (Ethical Crisis II)

oh yeah btw my ethical crisis II hasn't gone away, and in fact has gotten worse- it's reached my opinions on shipping and censoring fiction ;w;

like what if i AM wrong? and it's not normal questioning ethics either which is generally a good thing, it's my brain going "AAAAAA I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG ANYMORE" *cries*

so uhh ima become the first radqueer pro para antishipper i guess /j

combined with that my desensitization to certain topics doesn't help. and more ethical apathy lately. :3

oh yeah this happened bc i saw a youtube video thumbnail that mentioned being "a victim of proshipping" and what started as me thinking that that's absurd ended up spiralling down to here "X3

UHHH DON'T OVERTHINK ETHICS GUYS IT'S A BAD IDEA-

actually it didn't get too bad, apparently *gasp* talking about my feelings here helps :0

also I'm half convinced this is just my brain trying to figure out a way to procrastinate on school work- (it's nearly 3 am, I'm in THAT sort of mood)

(btw not saying that being antiship is bad or pathologizing it or whatever, just saying that losing my conviction of what's right or wrong and generally feeling shit about it sucks)

Okay so. Just read commit to the bit. ADORE IT. WILL NEVER BE NORMAL ABOUT IT. IF IT WAS POSSIBLE AND LOGICAL TO NAME A FIRSTBORN CHILD AFTER A FANFICTION, I WOULD NAME IT AFTER THIS ONE. i hope you know that it's an amazing fic.

Anyways, this ask is to let you know that every time I tried to leave a comment on it on ao3, it said "error 500," and I don't think it let me post the comment, so I kept retrying? There's a chance that it did post it though? So, uh, if you got the same comment on it from me four or five times, just go ahead and disregard it. If you HAVEN'T gotten the comment from me on it on ao3, please let me know and I'll try again in earnest (and maybe from a different device) because I need you to know how much I ADORED that fic and have a lovely comment ready to reply to it with!!!!!!!

THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING TO SEE TODAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Wow, that's weird! No, I haven't seen any comments show up.

I'm so happy you liked it!!! 😊😊😊

illusion. the art of mimicking real life.

                                                           -----

BATIM is officially 6 years old..oh jeez. A little hard to believe it's been this long. Six long years since the little devil that invaded my life was created. Where did the time go? Still,it's cool to see how far it's come. The journey so far has definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions,with ups and downs,but even so,I'm still glad I discovered this little guy. He definitely brought me a lot of good moments in recent times.

I didn't have anything really new or done specifically with the anniversary in mind,but I had this drawing I was trying to finish a while ago that I thought would be nice to post on the day. As we can see,this successively failed.I had the idea for this drawing since 2021, and I tried to execute it at the time, but I never made it past the sketches. Then last year I tried to redo it from scratch and since then I've been trying to finish it and post it on specific dates and failing successively.

But eventually, I manage to find the strength to finally end this piece altogether and put it behind me. The main drawings had been finished for a while,it was just a matter of doing...well,whatever the final result became. I confess that I didn't really know how to do the "broken mirror" idea at the beginning. And that wasn't even the original idea that I have in mind back in 2021.

I'll admit the first time I stopped and looked at the glass cracks I was unsure if I was liking how it was turning out. But it's better than nothing. And at the moment I'm just thinking "Bro, stop. You've done everything you could do in this drawing. It's over. Just let it go". So I'm going to do it.

Oh and Joey is here too,I forgot to mention that. Technically it was also his birthday too. So happy day of birth,pencil man. He's definitely going through something in this drawing. This was mainly made with one of my AUs in mind and the events that happen in it,but I think if you look at it as something more “canon related” (close to canon?),it might work well too. I think at least.

Better finish this desc before it gets too long. As a bonus,here are the two main drawings I did for this piece,unedited (because I'm not going to show the edited versions,I assume they're kinda ugly separately) :

Call me "Bendy and the Ink Machine Remix and Lyric Video" because I was AHHH AHHH AHHH trying to finish this drawing.
