as someone who has never watched any of the episode of critical role that they’re adapting into tlovm it’s very wild to me that the show will drop absolutely banger lines like “you’re at the bottom of my list” or “darling, take off the mask” or “do not go far from me” or “take me instead you raven bitch” or “i was made to pass through fire” and then i log on here and learn that they were all originally IMPROVISED in the original campaign

So you're saying you transitioned to escape the pain of being gender non conforming? Because of external pressure? Because it's simpler living as a "passing" trans woman than a feminine man?

ah yes. a spectrum of my current most relevant obsessions

Isn't it quite interesting that every female character in acotar who was abused/traumatized can only feel empowered by becoming a warrior? 🤔

Feyre gets training from cassian and becomes a warrior, mor trained and becomes a warrior, nesta gets training from cassian and azriel and becomes a warrior, emerie trains and becomes a warrior, gwyn trains and becomes a warrior and Illyrian women are getting training to become warriors. I also see some people wanting Elain to train and become a spy

Funny how the stans are saying the series is feminist when the only depiction of empowerment for women in the series is the girlboss hollywood archetype💀

Orym snapping back at Dorian with that gut punch was him finally snapping a little. He likes Dorian, a lot. He trusts him, thought he could understand. Ludinus is the danger, any plot of his is the danger.

Dorian’s trauma is very recent, it’s fresh and raw and burns. But Orym’s is old, not quite festering but not quite healed. It’s long burning hot cinders, low and deep and difficult to put out. His trauma is rooted into him and puts him at direct odds with Dorian rn. Bc Dorian thinks, “Maybe Ludinus plan is how I get revenge. How I might make it right. Maybe then I can heal.” But for Orym it’s the opposite, it’s “Maybe Ludinus’ death, the foiling of all his plans. The end of him. That’s how I can finally rest, finally maybe heal, finally have some justice(/revenge). How can I finally put it right, this time I will save my people -the people.” They are pulled apart from each other due to the circumstances of their life, which have already been written. How do they go against,each of them, what is now near their very core?

The only mitigating factor in the rancidity of the IWTV fandom is that it's a (very) rare instance of a fan-favorite show whose key male leads ARE actually as attractive as the fans like to insist. (Usually, it's some extremely ugly white British man whose only notable aesthetic feature is being so skinny he's at risk of falling through steam grates.)

Actively manifesting FCG snapping at Ashton before anyone else can.

FCG, with blue eyes, completely himself, going on a scared, angry tirade about how he and Ashton JUST had a conversation about how self-destructive and self-sacrificial FCG is and finding a reason to live.

Ashton literally telling them “I am so sick of you trying to martyr yourself” only for Ashton to do exactly that. Ashton telling Letters how glad and proud they are that Letters is now beginning to lean away from that and make progress, only for them to nearly explode when leaning hard into the same urges.

FCG telling Ashton that he thought they’d both made progress from the Robot who thought of himself as a tool, a soulless means to an end, and a broken, angry, self-destructive person with selfish and self-neglectful tendencies who was afraid of how much and how fiercely they love.

Maybe even FCG deciding that they guess now they’re the one who’ll protect Ashton from themself. After all this time of Ashton’s fierce, unmoving protection of Letters; now FCG will do that for him. If he won’t for themself yet.

OBSESSED with the new youtube chat AI summaries that are convinced sam riegel is gone because he:

a) is making his modeling debut in Paris

b) DEAD

c) in jail because of a dui??

The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.

Part of me wants to draw more beyond my comfort zone.

But another part of me hates that the ideas I have won't come out perfectly. It hates that there will be bad anatomy or bad lighting or bad coloring or bad consistency in a multi-panel piece.

That part of me screams that no one is interested in mediocrity even though I know that most people don't think like that when they're viewing art, especially fanart.

But I can't banish the thought that because it's not Good Enough, it's not worth creating - even when I've told others otherwise.
