MANY-WINGED OUROBOROS | A MR. EATEN MIX

[A mix for the bloodied, the foolish and the snapping-brave. Songs to dream or crush bones to on the theme of a singular Name.

8tracks is where you’ll find it.]

–VENGEANT, BETRAYED

1. Tool - Sweat

The sun is setting cool again. and I’m trying to remember when but it makes me dizzy. and I’m sweating, and breathing, and staring and thinking and sinking deeper and it’s almost like I’m swimming. Seems like I’ve been here before.

2. Tiamat - Whores of Babylon

Cling, cling shattered nerves To the queen you did adore Has turned to stiff ebonite cures In scarlet waves on distant shore Everything they do and say Might even fool a clever mind Just won’t forget their price to pay As silk betrays and truth unwinds

3. Mastodon - Curl of the Burl

I killed a man ‘cos he killed my goat I put my hands around his throat He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds But it didn’t matter, ‘cause they can’t hear a sound

Splinters in my skin, just like needles and pins I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives Been out here for days running through these trees I’m using my hands, cuttin’ through the disease

4. Psyclon Nine - Parasitic

Disciples of the fallen and the heretic will rise Narcissistic nation Severed tongues of blind dictation The serpent spoke this unto me through gilded light and lunacy Taste the fury That feed the devils inside Fueled by torment, Sin, sex, sickness and pride

–HUNGERING

5. Aktivehate - Animality

For a pound of flesh we fight Humanity’s fragile ropes No longer seem so tight

Take a bite out of me Assimilate this mere flesh you see One and all mere fiends With ends that justify the means

6. The Hollow - A Perfect Circle

Run him like a blade To and through the heart No conscience One Motive Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here Fill me up again Temporarily pacifying So grow.

–STAINED AND CHAINED

7. Bleed - Meshuggah

My crimson liquid so frantically spilled the ruby fluid of life unleashed

Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes Their red pens drawing at random, at will A myriad pains begotten in their wake the bastard spawn of a mutinous self

The regurgitation of my micro nemesis salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom

Heed - it commands, heed my will Bleed - it says, bleed you will

8. Samael - Blood Ritual

Now I will be them and they will be mine And we’ll be one above your god

My spirit has dived into the infernal storm of evil My soul is forever tormented Take advantage of this jouvencal fluid Deliver your soul from claws of ignorance

The caress of the blade on his skin Is waking up my old cruel dreams

Let your mind be impregnated By this mad attraction

9. Herbst9 - The Gods Are Small Birds but I Am The Falcon

[Instrumental.]

They were not lying, self shipping does force you to love yourself to really participate in it

[sol-shines]

something something a follower who is more devout than their god. a fervent acolyte and a doubtful divine. the obsessive devotion of one who has become a sword for someone who cannot stomach the thought of wielding them. misplaced worship that refuses to be swayed. a invulnerable deity painfully human in its uneasy hesitancy, a fragile mortal made alien by its unquestioning conviction. attack dog and owner with a tight grip on the leash. and make it as fucked up and gay as possible.

HI GANG!!! if it's possible can you please do my amazing darling honeybuns Razzle and Dazzle? <//333

Spotify Roulette! (Selfship Edition!)

Status: Open!

Hihi :3 Bored and wanted to do a silly new reblog game. I have a huge spotify playlist, with over 1500 songs (and counting!), and I remember seeing @80slovemail do a game where you reblog and you get assigned a song, and thought I'd do that too! Credit to them for the og idea ;0

Anyway, same concept! Give me an S/I or an F/O and I'll assign them a song from my playlist :3

Example:

Ted gets "The Main Character" by Will Wood :3

"So, God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy Don't come at me I'm the main character, and you have to like me"

(Note: Hope you don't mind the majority of it is Vocaloid/Musicals/Nerdcore cause uhh. That's all I listen too oops-)

Proship + variants DNI

the problem with ai isn't that it's ai it's

evil companies pushing ai to devalue labor and creative products.

misconceptions about how ai works, leading to people attributing it an intelligence and sentience it does not have, which feeds into

misinformation, the decrease in effort needed to create disinformation, and the sudden increase of skill needed to spot falsified info. 3a. this includes content creators using ai to flood searches with low-quality articles and inaccurate photos, people not being transparent when they use ai for their images, and things that make it harder to do casual research online

lower threshold for doing hard work that polishes skill, leading to over-reliance on a very flawed tool.

the tool itself isn't the problem. it just exacerbates things that were already problems before.

[supertale-au]

totally lied to you all when i said i had designs for every major character already. i totally skipped mettaton. i knew his role in the au and everything but i didn’t have any drawings for him at all.

as of now that is no longer the case. it’s possible i’ll still tweak some stuff before he shows up in the comic, but this is his design for this au.

as you may have surmised from his everything, he’s a supervillain.

[droppingartintotheinfinite]

thinking trigun (1998 anime) thoughts…

i keep thinking about what would happen in an au where vash died instead of wolfwood. like vash is so essential to the narrative, he’s like whatever the opposite of narrative doom is. narrative immortality. he can’t die until he gets to knives and they have their final battle, it would break the rules of the story. he’ll live forever until that final confrontation, in a narrative sense, because the story can’t exist without him. if he died it would be a different story

like from the start wolfwood was always going to die and vash was always going to live to the final showdown, and everything in the narrative is ready and waiting for this to happen. the entire story is one long rube-goldberg machine that exists for the sole purpose of leading vash to knives and having them fight it out until one of them dies (knives surviving in the end is in defiance of the narrative. it’s vash telling the fate that’s been hanging over them their whole lives to go fuck itself. i am so goddamn feral about this but i can’t help wondering what would happen if you took it further) with the final conclusion of that deciding the fate of humanity

which is like the classic story, right. you’ve got the ultimate good guy and the ultimate bad guy battling for eternity until one of them wins and everyone else in the story is ultimately tangential to this. they can influence either party but the final conclusion is entirely out of their hands. to work within trigun’s tendency towards christianity parallels, it’s god versus the devil, each working to either save or damn humanity as a whole. tale as old as time

and trigun already plays with this narrative a fair bit. in fact i think it’s fairly reasonable to read trigun as a whole as a commentary on this type of story. practically vash’s entire character is that he absolutely straight up refuses to be the kind of hero who kills the bad guy at the end, even though everyone in the entire world including said bad guy is trying to make him into that, and the story ultimately concludes with him succeeding at this, successfully refusing to engage with the might makes right philosophy that everyone’s been trying to push him into and his reward for this is getting to take his brother home at the end, getting to force his way into a kinder conclusion where they have a chance at true reconciliation

and i love this. it is one of the reasons why trigun is the anime ever. but i keep thinking about what it would look like taken even further

because vash has narrative immortality, but only within the bounds of the narrative of him and knives as fated nemeses, only within the bounds of the narrative that considers him and knives to be the only characters in the story with true agency, and that’s the narrative vash has spent his entire existence desperately trying to deconstruct

i keep imagining a world where vash fucking. trips on a rock and eats shit or something while he’s fighting caine, takes a bullet to the head, and the story has to keep going without him. like, the ultimate defiance of knives’ ideology would be him inadvertently killing vash via all the fucking assassins he keeps sending at him, statistically it’s something you’d expect to happen but you know knives has never even considered a world where vash actually dies, let alone where it’s his fault

like i keep imagining fucking. wolfwood and the girls having to finish vash’s journey without him. the three of them going to knives and being like look. here is the ultimate consequence of your beliefs. you spent so long solving all your problems with murder that you accidentally killed the only person left who actually matters to you and it’s too late to get him back now. it’s too late to undo what you’ve done and we all have to live in the world your actions created

and i think this au is maybe really about knives and his control issues and his response to anything having the capacity to hurt him being to shoot it until it stops moving but only in the sense that the whole anime is about the narrative of damnation versus salvation that knives created in his head and then enforced on the whole planet. i want to see a world where he has to come face to face with the fact that he hurt vash more than humanity ever could have. i want to see a world where he has to drag himself into redemption because the only person in the world who loves him enough to do it for him is fucking dead and it’s his fault.

is this anything

[shootingwishesatthestars]

Hey guys! I've been feeling a bit insecure so here's something in case anyone (mostly me) needs to hear it:

Your f/o doesn't think you're too childish

They don't mind if you're different from them

Your f/o adores your personality and physical appearance

Your f/o loves all your quirks

Your "flaws" are what they DREAM of

Seriously, you and them complement eachother so well! It's honestly like if someone were to try and find the definition of soulmates, they'd find a picture of you and them. You were literally MADE FOR EACHOTHER!!!

[solsunships]

Please...show me an image of your f/o that makes you smile :]
