#It's so fucking sad

[cormoranthh]

you know, I’ve been… remembering things, little things so clearly. you used to read to me when I was little, I mean- really little, from that old classics illustrated comic book, you remember that? knights of the round table. and all king arthur’s knights- and they were all on the quest for the holy grail, and I remember looking at this picture of sir galahad and- and he was kneeling, and... and light streaming over his face, and I remember thinking, I could never go on a quest like that. because... I’m not- clean. I mean, I was just a little kid. you think maybe I knew? I mean, deep down that… I had demon blood in me and about the evil of it and that I wasn’t pure?

See in my head, Dan Heng and Blade are hoyoverse's fave ocs in two different ways like hear me out

Dan Heng is the oc that gets all the art, they're the one that gets the most time to shine. The oc that gets doodled a lot and talked about a lot. Also for some reason gives similar vibes to the giddiness and love someone has for an oc they made years ago and are now rediscovering and making a ton of stuff for and redesigning them too like. Even if Dan Heng most certainly was made as apart of this project and didn't have that history of creator, he gives the vibes of an oc like that given how Hoyo treats him yknow?

Meanwhile, Blade is a classic favorite oc type, the Punching bag. Yanqing may take L after L in fights, but Blade takes L after L in life. He's Hoyoverse's whump king. Just when you think his backstory can't get any sadder, Hoyoverse goes "XD guys!! I added more details to his backstory look!" and it's just the most tragic things ever added from brainrot. He would be featured in those "My oc if they never went through *x trauma* videos on Tiktok" though if they actually did that, he probably would just be a headstone then lol. Blade is the oc that doesn't get shelved because each day at some point, they spend time to think about ways to make his life worst, either in the past or in his unfortunate future!!

And Hoyoverse is honestly so real for that, I'm absolutely eating up everything about both of their characters

Okay, you can ask anyone I know and they will tell you that I do not cry.

as a (formerly) bullied kid i spent a significant amount of time during my teen years involved in "social change" organizations & events aimed at improving school environments & "ending" bullying via making better social connections

i don't regret that time because it allowed me to build relationships & work positively with younger folks who had yet to develop the confidence & aggressive will to live that i had pieced together (which resulted in me existing weirdly outside the social hierarchy in my small high school - no one fucked with me anymore because i became an intimidating combination of loud, thick-skinned, friends with a lot of adults including teachers, heavily involved in multiple aspects of community - i was just not a good target anymore)

but it also depresses the hell out of me now that i'm an adult, an ex-teacher myself, & can see very clearly what bullying actually is

there is no ending bullying in a structurally unequal society. bullying is a microcosm, a training ground. it functions the same way & feeds directly off the bigotry of the adult society/state. bullying is children being used as tools for social control & social murder. direct murder, even. kids are fucking killing each other at the behest of politicians. i'm not saying they aren't culpable for their own actions - they are. they're also goddamn children with adults who are perfectly happy to encourage & assist them in the project of maintaining social oppression by terrorizing other children deemed undesirable.

my heart is breaking for the family & friends of this kid in Oklahoma & for trans kids everywhere, who in some ways have it worse today than i did as an openly queer, visibly gender non-conforming teen in the midwest 20+ years ago. i hate knowing there will be an increase in possibly well-meaning but ultimately toothless "anti-bullying" bullshit after this that does absolutely nothing to address the root cause. i can only hope kids & adults who care about them will also band together to create better support networks

The worst fucking crime Fire Emblem has committed against me personally is convincing me that they're incapable of almost any real sincerity, ESPECIALLY in FE Heroes, and then right after I gave up any hope, immediately releasing a ton of extremely gorgeous fae-esque redesigns of the series' best women

[black-quadrant]

if you actually call someone a friend, you'll be willing to wait for them, whether or not they're busy or going through a rough patch. dropping them is just grinding in the fact they weren't enough for you, and that's a really terrible thing to do to a person.

I've been watching comic creation videos and there was one creator who did step by step tutorials in Krita. I hadn't watched them in nearly a year, so I thought "I wonder what they're up to! I'll check if there's a new video." Only to discover that her family had uploaded a video to say she died of cancer. Fuck :(

My favorite teacher in hs actually lost her daughter to a tornado. She died at school

The Character A is dying and them and Character B are singing a song together as Character A dies. Character A's voice slowly trails off until Character B is singing alone tropw. Horrible horrible trope. I love it so much

Here I am finishing Heartstopper with all its joy and acceptance and love, meanwhile my Mum talks about needing a new umbrella because she doesn't want to use the rainbow coloured one we have. It's not even a gay pride rainbow, Mum, oh my god.
