i think we also need more compassion for those of us with higher support needs who have difficulties communicating and understanding things, with or without an intellectual disability. i get made fun of a lot for not having “proper” communication abilities that “match” my age and for not understanding “obvious” concepts/jokes that to me were not obvious at all. please have kindness for autistics who have difficulty with things you don’t. even if you are also autistic.

I love the way that, in addition to his origin story with his over-sized sword and the scar on his nose, the flashbacks to Guts's childhood show how much of his insane work ethic and reckless self-endangering abandonment in battle were all kinda ingrained into him by his craving for attention and approval from shitty father figure, Gambino.
Random nice mercenary guy: "Don't overexert yourself, kid. Just do what's needed. 'Cause if you die, you lose everything."
Gambino: "It's your first battle. Work hard!"
Guts: [throws himself into battle so hard he nearly dies multiple times, fixating on pleasing Gambino the entire time]
Gambino: "C'mon, hurry up! Work! Work!"
Guts: [gives Gambino his entire earnings, Gambino tosses him back a single coin]
Guts: [more motivated by this one mild bit of encouragement than anything he's ever experienced before in his life]
#it's difficult to post berserk meta because i feel like the manga is often so well-written and well put together#that every panel is important and it's hard to leave anything out - and i'll end up just reposting the entire chapter instead#like this is leaving out all the stuff before that leading up to this moment#where gambino is either neglectful or cruel to guts almost all the time - giving him the scar on his nose in a rage#yet also now and then tossing him a bone like giving him medicine for his wounds - and as minimal as that 'kindness' is#it's the only caring attention guts actually ever receives and he's so starved for it that it keeps him striving to earn more :(#and how the other members of the band don't like how gambino treats guts yet also do not step up to raise him themselves either#and whisper together about their resentment of him at night when he's left alone to fend for himself#AND then i am also leaving out the bits after that where gambino immediately goes and does the worst thing possible to guts too...#renting him to donavan... yet another awful formative experience for the kid#just constantly reinforcing to guts that he's got nobody but himself and his sword for his sense of protection and value and purpose#but showing that those tiny scraps of kindness and praise were basically keeping him alive and what he really wanted underneath too#it's just extremely well-done and so good at showing exactly why guts is the way that he is later on#and why when griffith started paying attention to him and valuing him as a person#in addition to putting him to work in the ways he was most familiar and comfortable with - it was basically like crack for him as well#berserk#berserk spoilers#p

Hey man was Andrew always doomed by the Call of the Well? Was it doomed from the start? Is anyone hearing me? Hello???
#AndrewGaming67#Smiler comparing himself to Andrew and Smiler finding comfort in the Well as those around him were cruel and he can't trust anyone#Andrew wanting to go back to the good old days with Chris and using an old texture pack and disliking the newer additions of Minecraft#Does the Call for the Well convert those who willingly go into it to whatever Smiler is? And does it forcibly take those who resist it?#Is the Call for the Well yearning for times that have passed? A form of escapism? Does it fit its needs to whomever it calls?#Is it all just a Metaphor for Nostalgia should have Andrew just destroyed the wells or something#Hello??? Can anyone hear me??? Hello???? (<- losing its mind)#Man I need to make more fanart of this ARG (<- just finished watching a day ago)

Do people still use the word "plot bunnies"? because it used to be that you'd get the idea for a fic, or a scene, and it would be described as that.
Except in my case I make a post and it unlocks something in my brain and a dove falls, stone dead out of the sky.
#Part of my brain has Ketheric/Durge in it#The other part thought “oh what if Bhaal took the form of Durge's LI in their visions and did horrible things to them ala BG2”#Then some detached part of my brain goes “well that applies some additional psychosexual issues to Durge's love life doesn't it.”#“...oH SHI-”#*dead dove*#It's not my fault THE CANON IMPLICATIONS ARE RIGHT THERE#I have normal hurt/comfort ideas sometimes?? At least?#edgelord hours#villainous nonsense#babbling

anyways my friends activated my conlang brain and I've made smth insane as usual
red is influences, blue is Elezen-family languages, green is like a mix bc I see the Alliance cities as having a trade language (that critically is limited to them).
I see Duskwight as a separate language from Black Shroud Elezen (but sharing a lot - easy enough to learn for those speakers). Coerthan and all its derivatives are a whole different language under the Elezen umbrella and isn't mutually intelligible with BSE. Because they split so early, they probably don't share much more than root words and etymologies; within the same family so not difficult to learn for other speakers of Elezen languages, but very distinctly different.
(also I'm not listing them but the branches extend to include other diaspora Elezen languages)
#saint.txt#long post#ishgardposting#I'm sorry this is so hard to see lmfao I told you people you would regret activating the unhinged part of my brain#anyways additional notes:#Duskwight is to Old Elezen what Icelandic is to Old Norse; It's the closest language to Old Elezen.#Old Ishgardian was probably heavily influenced by Dravanian but the church post-Ratatoskr probably tried to purge a lot of it.#Ysayle and the heretic faction probably use Dravanian-derived words on purpose and may have restored a lot of the old words as slang#and as shibboleths.#Liturgical Ishgardian as you'd expect is spoken in churches and by clergy. It's their version of liturgical Latin.#Proto-Ishgardian *probably* wasn't using Old Hyur as a prestige language so its influence was probably limited#(it probably wasn't like English with French)#Alliance Trade Standard is a prestige language in Ishgard for nobility but proficiency varies. Most Ishgardians prob. don't speak it well.#imo Ishgardian and Duskwight both use different alphabets derived from the Old Elezen ones#w/ BSE either adopting the ATS one or having two scripts (the new ATS and the old Elezen one). Probably dialect-dependent.#Duskwight derived theirs from Golmorran and Ishgard from Old/Liturgical Ishgardian bc that's what the Enchiridion is written in.#the friend I'm building this with posits that BSE uses a lot of obtuse speech (verlan basically) for cultural reasons re: elementals.#Ishgardian forms dialects like crazy bc of the geography but there's a lot more interplay and movement of speech around than#you'd think bc of the movement of soldiers from different High Houses and places around the Holy See constantly#High Houses each have their own specific slang and jargon and you can get surprisingly specific placing where in Coerthas someone is from#and what High House he works for based on his accent and what military slang he uses.#the Coerthas-Shroud pidgin/creole refers to the zone between North Shroud and Coerthas where the two languages intersect for trade reasons#and mix together.#BSE mixes with a LOT (padjali / duskwight / coerthan in the north / thanalan languages in the south /#moon mi'qote languages / hyur in general) depending on region and thus has a *really* broad array of variation.#City Ishgardian as a dialect is facing huge change atm bc of the massive influx of Coerthan refugees.#bc of the Calamity and the Horde a lot of local Coerthan dialects went extinct very quickly.

what do your parents look like?
day 95
wellll my moms a demon and my dads an angel so liek their true forms are incomprehensible 2 mere mortalz??
but obvs if they stayed in heaven & hell all the time they nevar wouldve met and had ME so liek they have human forms that they use when theyre in the Mortal Realm
theyre p cool i guess idk theyre just my parents lololol
#day 95#year 4#my ocs#destiny chainsaw#well sort of shes not really IN either of these#anyway. i wanted them to look like very fucking stereotypical uninteresting sitcom parents with just like#the smallest hint that they were maybe also little alt fashion punks back in their 'teen years'#by which i mean like. when these specific physical manifestations of them were teens??#ill be honest. haven't really thought about her parents much aside from like#'hey it would be funny if in addition to being these powerful metaphysical entities they were also just like#the most mundane and domestic motherfuckers on earth'#like there is no drama whatsoever with them. they are AMICABLY divorced. they love and support their daughter.#she thinks they are a little bit old and out of touch sometimes but loves them very much#ALSO she calls them mom and dad because like. that is what they deemed the most sensible and human thing for her to call them#based on the human forms they had taken at the time and the society in which they lived#but i mean. they're shapeshifting extradimensional Creatures. they don't actually have genders.#they're kind of just doing drag as humans 24/7 because it is useful and fun for them to play act at it#this also informs destiny's relationship with her own gender and the physical form she occupies most of the time. more on this later maybe.

Crazy how Shrek still remains one of the most subversive mainstream takes we have on fairytales
#in that the mainstream treatment of fairytales is often like. shallowly subversive imo#‘the princess rescues herself’ okay cool. have you got anything in addition to this??#tunes titters#I think there’s something to be said about how between the two of them only shrek is allowed to be fat (in that Fiona’s ogre form isn’t#actually ugly. she’s just not able to fit within the wider world’s conception of beauty standards)#but tbh for a film debuting in 2001 it still holds up quite well

Eleventh Doctor Chronicles: Sins of the Flesh is really good. Really really good. Experience with certain attitudes can be so isolating, surrounded by people who won’t bother to understand the impact of growing up in that environment (because the world's so progressive now, right), and so — I'm so glad it exists. I also liked the discussion in the interview commentary about how being a monster and doing monstrous things are not mutually exclusive. Like most things, homophobia is pervasive because it is structural. Religious fervor is not inherently bad — “your god is love,” Valarie says to Lily — but as soon as hellfire is brandished around, it's used routinely to empower monstrous things, in a way that becomes unsafe to debate. Especially for young & dependent people who can't escape it.
Conditional love. Moral panics. Purity culture. Self-hate. Mob mentality. This audio. It's timely.
I appreciated what they said in the interviews about not only about the research, but the four rounds of sensitivity readings. I wish the TV show had that level of care sometimes…
#actually the whole Everywhere and Anywhere boxset is excellent#tw homophobia#valarie lockwood#eleventh doctor#so I listened to the second audio in a muggy headspace when it came out and comprenhended none of it and thought what.#then I listened again today and understood it perfectly and cried the whole way thru. I love Valarie's husband ngl#they SHOULD have a poly marriage with Roanna on Medrüth to add to the timey wimeyness. totally normal to the Doctor#the Doctor emotionally saying Rivers death breaks his hearts in the same episode where he says-#'she looks drained. I guess marriage does that to you'. honestly all of the yowzah refs in eleventh doctor chronicles are kind of gold.#and the first story!!!!!! Valerie's dead mother!!!!!! the Clara mention in the summary was fully clickbait tho#oh and the Doctor telling Valerie about the Ponds at the end? SCREAMING- he didnt tell Clara about the Ponds!#in other audio news im slowly gettin thru eighth doctor audios while working. Neverland/Zagreus/Scherzo were as great as ppl say!#the anti time arc made me finally love charley (and find her interesting)#words by seaweed#this post just lowkey a subtweet at rtd. no offense to rtd for always thinking hes right without consulting the groups he talks about#in ADDITION to the story being cathartic. Cybermen running gay conversion therapy is a *chefs kiss* concept. I'm so glad it exists#I might delete this post later its making me feel low key vulnerable *ramble ramble*#by the way I don't think religion is mostly or uniquely responsible for homophobia.#I think it's like any bigotry or hatred. plus religion is an easy way to claim that god is on their side for ANY hatred they have#which means religious homophobia is a form of homophobic abuse that's not only mental and emotional but spiritual as well#it hits different when they invoke god. the entity who made you the way you are#finally watched Barbie and cried because even tho the message was simple my parents will never understand it#my dad who thinks patriarchy is exaggerated and my mom who thinks god made women to serve men#I’m in my mid 20s now it’s fine. I feel so alone its fine#im fine :D or I wouldn't be subtweeting RTD :D :D :D#I should sleep I have work in the morning ~time to listen to some eighth doctor and charley in the divergent universe~#why is 2024 busier than 2023#anyway sins of the flesh was kinda surface level ngl but I don't think anything deeper would've worked as well#it got the emotional beats (and it doesn't need to be a complex argument to point out the hypocrisy long as the listener aint brainwashed)#the doctor telling the homophobe his hatred killed his daughter and he'll never be forgiven

We should post our Vaugardian Marigold writing for Time Stop Resistance AU at some point but we haven't played enough of the game to be fully confident in publically releasing it especially since one of the things we've written for it involves Odile characterization we are not yet 100% confident in as we haven't fully seen her under pressure yet
#we speak#context: we discovered a little while back that apparently all of the current canon facts about sadnesses are both a) not in the game#and b) accessible spoiler-free without having to play past act 2#so we looked them up and it took like. less than five minutes. and then we wrote something like 5k words of pseudo-academic writing#and marigold being herself in response to the time freeze#which gave rise to time stop resistance au and sadness odile#who plays somewhat on nostalgie and its visual connection to loop as well as it dropping the Tear Repellant Pendant#in addition to the fact that sadnesses are the only things in the House not affected by time freeze#also angst factor of course. we are legally required to include the identity fuckery that comes with changing someone's form#...our lack of isat liveblogging may be somewhat related to the fact that actually writing our thoughts down takes time#which thus means that what would otherwise be like 10 minutes of playthrough becomes an hour even beyond our Usual Habits

was really fucking difficult at the doctor's office today because i found their healthcare lacking and now i havent received a confirmation email for my appt. tomorrow and i'll need to call them like heeeeeyyy what appointment did you actually schedule for me. kms.
#🌬️#doctor yesterday didnt actually submit the form for my blood test so today me and my mom had to FIGHT for me to get blood work done and#tomorrow im coming in for additional tests because THATS when yesterday's guy is working again. and then the assistent can ask what he#wanted to test. and i might have a call with him to see if i'll stay with him for now or get a different dr on my case.#because this guy was shit the previous time i saw him as well. i was deeply unwell and he was like oh can you make a log of how well you're#sleeping 🤪 yeah man im sure at the time my inability to sit up for more than 2 hrs a day was caused by bad sleep#i think i'll call towards 3 or 4 hopefully they work in shifts and i won't have to talk to the same ppl 😭😭😭😭

Just the other day I was chatting with an older woman about this exact thing. She's retired so she enjoys going on almost-daily walks around her neighborhood and the surrounding neighborhoods. Well she told me that it was really weird that in the newer constructions where the younger families live, EVERYONE has their blinds closed all the time. In fact she can tell a younger family lives in a house based on the simple fact of whether or not their blinds are closed in the middle of a sunny day. It's to the point where she can't even tell if they're even HOME and available for a visit to welcome them to the neighborhood!
When she said that, I realized that I do that too when I live in a more publicly visible apartment. I told her that I think it's because of the internet. Younger people feel like we're constantly being watched, observed, and JUDGED for merely existing. So when we're home, we just want to be alone, unbothered, and unobserved because it's the one place we can control that. She was very surprised to hear that I felt like that and she was VERY concerned for us young folk (and to be honest after talking with her I became pretty concerned too...)
People from her generation will have their blinds open all day, hang out on their front porch, and randomly visit/enjoy random visits from neighbors and strangers. If a stranger knocks on my door it's scary and if they want to stay and chat? It's a huge inconvenience and it feels super awkward and weird and I'm stuck wondering why exactly they're talking to me, when just a few decades ago welcoming someone new to the neighborhood was just what you did! In fact to not do so was rude!
It made me really worried that as the Panopticon sinks its teeth deeper into our psyches, we are losing the very essence of what makes us human and got us this far as a species: community. I find that being on the internet for hours a day tends to almost trick my brain into thinking "I've been social all day, my social need is full" when in reality I've only talked to one, maybe two people I know from my real life all day, and only for short bursts, not REAL conversation.
I find it hard to have the energy to invite friends to hang out, and when I want to I feel like I'm a big inconvenience for asking them to take a break from their busy lives for me (not that they would ever say that's the case, but it's this nagging feeling internally). I feel like while we used to be a series of large islands of local community, our islands splintered apart and started drifting away from each other. Now your island is just you, your immediate family, and maybe a couple close friends. Those living physically closest to you feel like they're miles away and unreachable, to the point where you might as well not even bother.
I guess I just have one question for you: Do you know the names of your next door neighbors?
#there was another woman just a couple years older than me in the conversation as well and she agreed with me#what happened to us?#community#if you don't have a physical local community please find one you don't think you need it until you suddenly do and wish you had one#i only know ONE of my neighbors (across the hall) and i live in a huge complex#and i only know them because we coincidentally met on Nextdoor without knowing we were neighbors#if it weren't for that i would've never knocked on their door or said hello or even acknowledged their existence further than a smile#but they're actually super nice and good friends! unfortunately we're moving this week so we won't be seeing much of them now#i want to make more of an effort to meet neighbors but it just fills me with this awful anxiety ugh#I'm glad i found our local UU church and joined it so i do have a physical local community#but i had to go out of my way and i think that's the issue: going out of my way#you have to decide to go out and join a church or club sport or tabletop group and it's hard to do that!#we aren't taught how to do that gracefully or even how fundamentally necessary it is to us as humans!#it's like our social need is seen as unimportant or at least way less important than our hunger and sleep and hygiene needs#even though again our ability to communicate and form community is what allowed us to evolve to this point#it's just so frustrating and i can barely figure out how to solve the problem for myself let alone as a whole societal/generational thing#i just stay in my apartment all day invisible to the world feeling safe in my anonymity#as if that isn't on some level denying the very thing that makes me human#we're more connected than ever but we're also more lonely than ever. the fuck#I'm rambling now i need to stop#this whole post addition was originally tags but i felt it was important enough to actually add to the post#aa
