The "Sansa reminds Sandor of his sister" motive that some people try to hitch to his character really just flies in the face of his actual attachments to her, doesn't it? Sansa reminds Sandor of himself. He sees the little boy who used to love knights in this girl who's been swept up by the same romanticism. He sees his abuser in her abusers, the much larger knight(s) beating on the helpless child. He sees how she is betrayed by every level of authority that should have saved her and remembers his father's neglect and Tywin and Robert's apathy for Gregor's crimes. He's protective of Sansa because he was Sansa.
And GRRM's design, that one of the strongest warriors in the series, a fearsome and cynical 6'8" guy who's "muscled like a bull" and has the face of death itself, sees himself in this soft and effeminate teen girl, and empathizes with her because he was an abuse victim too, is INFINITELY more compelling than "Oh yeah I bet she just reminds him of his sister," who he's never mentioned and who we know literally nothing about. Way to unnecessarily water down a character, you couldn't have ignored the black and white text more efficiently if you tried.
#sorry for the rant i saw this sentiment in a yt video recently#sansa stark#sandor clegane#sansan#asoiaf#asoiaf meta#and this is only one facet of why he has so much affection for her too#these people act like his attachment to her is limited to projection and not also bc she treats him like he's an actual human being#or that they can be themselves when they're with each other -that he can openly show his weakness to her and be comforted and validated#or like even just the physical attraction aspect - which is so obvious that you'd have to be willfully ignorant to miss it#how do you read him trying to kiss her and come away thinking “he thinks of her as his sister” lmfao#things that make me feel like people dont actually read the books

If you hear Republicans speak to other Republicans, you'll hear a lot of them say that they really don't like Trump for whatever reason (many of them aren't fans of the felony convictions, his personal manner, his business dealings, his family life, or whatever else) but that they'll still be voting for him because he'll get them closer to what they ultimately want. They're pragmatic; they don't demand purity in their candidate. They recognise him as their strategic choice so they'll set aside the issues they have with him and vote as a bloc. That's what makes them effective at getting their way. That's how they win elections.
And boy I wish we had more of that attitude on the left. Imagine what we could get done.
#this isn't to say we shouldn't hold candidates to any kind of standard#it's that the relentless purity testing the left subjects itself to arguably does our opponents' work for us#it's so much harder to convince progressives to vote if the relevant candidate isn't entirely perfect with a 100% clean record#(which arguably no one has because the definition of perfect is going to differ person to person and also just... people have flaws)#whereas clearly conservatives take barely any persuading at all to turn up en masse and vote for the worst people ever#EVEN when they aren't totally on board with every aspect of those people#politics#us politics#american politics#us election#election 2024#2024 elections#us elections#2024 presidential election#project 2025#please vote#your vote matters#voting matters#my posts

I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.
It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.
Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.
#like of course not everyone knows I'm not the kind of asshole who gets mad about someone not having heard about an unrecorded con panel#not knowing is one thing#erasing or ignoring that aspect of her is something completely different#like yeah she's incredibly relateable in that way#and I know how comforting it can be to project your own dx onto someone and go 'wow shes just like me fr'#but I really feel like doing that re: Harrow's schizophrenia is a huge lost opportunity for growth#and I hate that the takeaway for so many people is 'Harrow is autistic'#and not 'oh cool didn't know autism and schizophrenia had so much overlap in experience'#relate to psychotic people without flinching challenge#anyway. tl;dr:#if you didn't already know then I have the coolest new fun fact about Harrow to share with you!!#if you do already know but have elicted to ignore it then a little bit fuck you actually#but I will ALWAYS assume someone didn't know before assuming they're being a dick#the locked tomb#harrow nonagesimus#harrowhark nonagesimus#harrow the ninth

wgahtt the h ell Stupid idiot 70 year old man. As always, headcanons over yonder
> He wanted to spend his retirement collecting Hatsune Miku Figmas but Tom made him go outside instead > He became an amateur survivalist out of spite and feelings of injustice, but this lead to him eating random shit in the forest without double checking. [Still works for spite reasons, he makes sure Tom finds him poisoned near their house to prove a point] > Right side of his hair is all stiff and curly, bc accident reasons, it was always like that but its much more prominent now > He dyes his hair more often now than he did when he was 40 > The hoop earring he has is his only piercing AND is also the partner earring of Tom's own hoop earring
"Thomas, I frew up"
#eddsworld#ew Stay AU#tomtord#mentioned#ew tord#ew future tord#dandraws#his camo jacket was a spite buy#He went up to Tom on the day he bought it like: “HAPPY THOMAS?? TOUCH GRASS?? FINE I'LL BECOME BEAR GRYLLS”#Tom: “Okay have fun uvu”#He gets hospitalized immediately#Also me making him go outside is basically just#me projecting an aspect of Tori onto him#We project more tordsy stuff onto tori most of the time so like#why not an equivalent exchange??

the most miserable thing to me about people doing the "mizuki is mizuki" bit is that the reason she says "i'm just me" when she's questioned is because she's exhausted of feeling like she has to always explain herself or prove things to others only to be faced with transmisogyny. it's insidious that people will ignore the context surrounding this to argue that mizuki's gender doesn't matter and insinuate that people who think it does are "reducing her to her gender" because this is just degendering from people who don't want to engage with textual transfemininity.
"inferiority" is a common refrain for mizuki, but not in the context of how ena struggles with inferiority - instead, it's an inferiority informed by how people see her as lesser or it being an inherent impossibility for her to ever be truly who she is (which is being a girl) when what she wants is to be treated as a normal girl without any asterisks attached and this is the reason she lets niigo assume that she's a cis girl for so long due to the internet allowing her the "plausible deniability" of cisness. mizuki is a character who reflects a very real experience where transfemininity influences every part of her life, because it informs how she lives, how she acts, her goals, and her choices each day.
this kind of complaint can be even worse when it's coming from people who acknowledge her transness, because it's always made by tme people who refuse to engage with how much being transfem can shape one's life and saying that discussing her transfemininity in depth is flattening her nuances even though it's a huge part of what makes her a very layered character in the first place is insinuating that this is a shallow aspect of her character which is really not that much different from saying she would have richer interiority if she weren't a girl (ie, a femboy).
#also this kind of centrist take is just enabling the transphobes#“stop discussing her transness” and the two sides are transfems who find her character resonant and literal hitlerites#i've also never met anyone who discusses mizuki's transfemininity in depth who doesn't care about other aspects of her#project sekai#gamo.txt

kamishiro rui uses a clapperboard and i will die on this hill. emu got it for him because she thought it would be funny and now it's a staple in their rehearsals.
look how silly he is with it
#he enjoys the dramatic aspect of it#he also likes the sound it scratches a part of his brain he didn't know needed scratching#tsukasa disapproves of it because he thinks its ridiculous#rui kamishiro#project sekai#prsk#wonderlands x showtime

(Like or reblog if you wanna use)
#also read the “shit on her for no reason” as misogyny#it might come as a surprise but in order to write interesting female characters you gotta give them negative traits#ngl there are times when even writes do them dirty#but a)you can always write headcanons and “fix-it” fics.that’s what fandom is known for#and b)considering how some ignore the aspect of bad writing and continue blaming the woman characters-#-even though they aren’t real#-makes it seem like they just enjoy projecting their shit with no consequences#shower thoughts#meme#arcane#mel medarda#<= im not mildly interested but rather obsessed with her actually#but she still applies#gf mabel#tfp miko#avatar korra#atsv gwen#gwen stacy#spider gwen#ghost spider#idk i probably forgot some but oh well#mia winters

Party of one (divided into four)
#Fourfold Soul#Thing#QUIT#Ruth#Jolis#Finally I can offer some character names!#digital art#I have been hard at work in the character design mines for nearly two months.#I feel like a parent watching my child waddle off to kindergarten....ah...only yesterday you were a wee little mspaint sketch.#The title of 'Fourfold Soul' comes from the 'party' for this RPG being comprised of parts of yourself!#They all have a delightful array of personalities; and by delightful I do mean 'They are personal demons for a reason'.#It's a story about fighting alongside (and against) 'difficult' aspects of yourself.#This is also a story about redemption and reflection. Many other things too - but that is for another time.#(The clown pictured here is indeed the ignored clown from the last comic. Say hello to Jolis!)#If I had more time I would have added more animation and frames...next time...#I'm slowly getting back into my animation practice and experimentation. I will get more powerful! I promise!#Thank you all so much for all the love and support you have shown this project so far!#I was terribly nervous about posting the previous comic...the kindness it was met with meant a lot B'*)

I think that being alone in frasco made aba a very sensory-oriented person. and that translates a lot into how she shows affection, especially given paracelsus, while he can be hugged or kissed or humped, can’t really reciprocate too terribly much and probably doesn’t feel it as vividly or in the same way as those of biological body. basically what I’m saying is aba does asmr for paracelsus as a form of intimacy
#im imagining this came along at least in the point in the relationship where the romance is mutual#initially para didn’t know how to feel about it and was just generally surprised by it bc’s aba’s weirdness is usually overt and intense#and while again being a key probably dampens the pure physical aspect#the audio and just her care and attention makes it very soothing#and of course aba would love fidgeting and making weird noises anyway so getting to do that specifically for him is just ideal for her#this might be projection but I do not care#art#my art#guilty gear#ggst#aba guilty gear#aba ggst#paracelsus guilty gear#paracelsus ggst#abacelsus

are the characters in proseka ever going to find out that they all are personal friends with the hit vocaloid hatsune miku (and others)
#project sekai#proseka#prsk#this is the funniest aspect of the game to me#imagine you think you're going through the most absurd unique experience only to find out that several of your classmates/friends have the#exact same thing going on. you all know hatsune miku.#im sure theyll all discover it eventually and its gonna be so funny when it happens

all the news going around with unity's really got me worried for games that are already several years into development like Hollow Knight Silksong and Billie Bust up.
Just rough because I don't suppose a whole lot of games are going to be able to pivot game engines, let alone so late in development. Like it is easier said than done to pivot early in development but i've been following the development of several games that are years in at this point and the fact that they're grandfathering older titles into this is just... it's just bad.
The potential loss of games in terms of archival on such a massive scale....
#Like with the news that Cult of the Lamb's getting full stop deleted due to this is not great news#and I can't imagine they're going to be the only ones who decide to simply delete.#Unity#Unity Engine#Silksong#Hollow Knight#Should also specify that BBU is not a unity game but just a really good example of a game that likely couldn't pivot engines on a dime#knowing what Little I know about BBU's back engine and the work they put in to make all the musical aspects *work*#thank goodness it's on unreal because given the fact that they've got a lot of progress on a working game#i'd legit hate to see them have to redo everything from scratch#same cannot be said for some of the other long term game projects i've been following unfortunately

Astro Observations | Pluto Placements | Weekly Dream Meanings
Ok so! If you have weird dreams, or simply want to find out the meaning behind dreams, they can 100% correlate with astrology. Here are some observations about how pluto influences your dreams and sleep that may enlighten you regards difficult issues or shadow work
🍦First house pluto can mean you attribute a lot of meaning to your dreams. You may always try to analyse them and be bothered when you have one you can't figure out
🍦If you have mars aspecting pluto anywhere in your chart this can lead to dreams that reveal inner conflicts and ambitions
🍦12th house pluto can compound the influence of your dreams or it can lead to dreams being occluded and difficult to interpret
🍦if you have pluto in the 8th house or aspecting Saturn your conscience may factor heavily into dreams, and they may reveal your judgements of yourself or others
🍦Lucid dreaming comes most easily to pluto in the 4th, 5th, 7th, or 12th houses, anything that is to do with the emotional and intuitive part of your brain.
🍦Venus conjunct pluto in any house or sign can add a depth of detail and vividness to dreams that makes them more immersive than otherwise
🍦However venus aspecting pluto in a fire sign means dreams can take on an extremely vivid physical nature, they can be very visceral, almost with physical feelings.
🍦Mercury aspecting pluto in a mutable sign is most likely to solve problems from their waking life in their dreams and wake up with the solution
🍦If you have pluto in a cardinal sign you may dream of things beyond the present day, dreams have a science fiction or dystopian nature
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Lastly:
Repeating patterns in your dreams can be linked to your south node. Check your south node placement to see if any themes in the repeating dreams correspond!
