if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!
1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.
2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.
3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes
it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.
It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.
so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know
#bazinga!#I’ve been meaning to add these tags for a minute but it was too funny to keep the original line bazinga tag#if you see this i would appreciate this post not be tagged as wornld building#and if you want to use this concept in your D&D campaign#you don’t need to show this post or anything#but if you would please mention after the plot line ends that the original post was written all at once in a pretty desperate state#i thought about ginkgo trees while walking my dog late that night#and when i found myself hopeless and completely alone at midnight#I opened tumblr and talked to myself#and hit post#and went to bed#then it got 2000 notes and i woke up to the realization that the entire time I had said bacteria#when i fully meant fungus#fuck!!!#u don’t need to say all that just please include the context that this is a very personal post#thank u!#I’m not mad it’s not obvious from the post that i was ranting into the void

typical tavern scene
#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhjy#fabian seacaster#riz gukgak#adaine abernant#kristen applebees#figueroth faeth#gorgug thistlespring#got my version of this in lol. I feel like this is mandatory if u draw fh art#trying to remember whats on the menu at a typical swensen's. its been years since I last was at one#tho I am so absolutely unfamiliar with like elmville level of town scenery. just immediately drew from my own experience lmao#I used to think malls are the same everywhere.... but then I hear from my US friends and. wow they sure are not#mm. good day to reminisce a little bit. but I am now sleepy#not a lot to say abt this I think most of this is pretty straightforward. I did use this to test out some overlays in SAI2#that I never really touched. the talisman on fig's guitar case takes from the house protection talisman you'd put on the front door#and also I think kristen slipping while fully sat down is very funny and special. she means so much to me#okay. alright. I should really go to sleep. and tomorrow I should take my dang walk... see the sun#have a good night lads! enjoy ice cream

Hey, Spitfire! Try not to kill your brother ahead of time!
.
Looking for Ursa right after being banished had some...wildly unexpected results. One: Zuko actually found her. Two: she wasn't alone. Three: leaving her children behind in order to protect them was, apparently, just something she did.
Looking at the bright side, Zuko now had a three-year-old younger brother to look after. Looking at the dark side, Zuko now had a three-year-old kid he needed to parent while also keeping him a secret from his father because—may Agni help him—the Fire Lord would have to go through Zuko first if he dared to even look at Lu Ten II.
(AKA an AU in which Zuko is a good big brother and doesn't want another kid to grow up like he did.)
#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla fanart#atla art#prince zuko#Spitfire AU#spitfire#atla oc#atla zuko#zuko art#zuko fanart#Lu Ten II#lu ten fanart#lu ten atla#lu ten#Prince Lu Ten II#atla ursa#princess ursa#Ten Ten#dadko#atla au#In which Zuko is a little older; a little wiser; has a little brother—and it changes everything (or does it?).#He's a teenager parenting a child in an environment that's...not quite child-friendly—he's a mess and has no idea of what he's doing.#In time protecting little Ten Ten becomes his sole priority. But that comes with its own drawbacks.#What would he do to protect the kid? What *wouldn't* he do? Does he desert his mission and military and put Ten Ten in danger?#Does he stay quiet and allow the war to unfold if it means that Lu Ten II will be safe from it? (He tries—Agni knows that he tries)#(But Zuko never gives up without a fight. This just means he needs to learn how to pick his battles.)#(And sure—pretending to chase after the Avatar while he protects the Gaang in secret is a fine line to walk. But Zuko will make it work.)#(He has to—for Ten Ten's future)

How Galinda gets ready for bed knowing she's gonna homoerotically argue with Elphaba all night once again
#i know the reason why her hair and makeup are done with when she's in bed in What is this feeling is because its a movie#but obsessed with that fact that she's all done up and then starts the fight that gets them out of bed#and makes sure she's all nice and her hair looks good in her robe before walking over to Elphaba just to say she hates her#like ok Galinda we got it we got it#you definitely hate your roommate#who notably you keep turning to watch while in bed#Elphaba turns away from Glinda#but Glinda turns to face Elphaba#she's so normal about this you guys its normal#wicked#gelphie#elphaba thropp#glinda upland#wicked spoilers#wicked part one#wicked movie

A simple visual came to mind.
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#DAtV#emmrich volkarin#da manfred#my art#I’m too exhausted rn so I drew the first thing that came to mind#which was this apparently#walk in on an Emmy who’s dressing down#maybe he’s getting ready for bed#on my mind all day he’s such a sweetheart I love him#Manfred is just curiously reading#rook is gonna proceed to laze on his lap while Emmy continues reading#then they fall asleep tgt

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:
There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’
like wow babe. good fucking point
#like you were on the ground biting the carpet and dry sobbing while you wrote that and still. good fucking point#not a shitpost#cptsd#and it's true. there's never a satisfying answer#the truth is i know why i wasn't loved#i analyzed my parent's traumas and abuse to death. i understand why i alienated and was alienated from my siblings#i know why my mom was too overwhelmed to be capable of nurturing#i know why my dad vanished into addiction and avoidance#the details of our cycles of trauma and cptsd and family history i have a phd in all of it#i understood perfectly. i spent years studying and now i knew the answer#and guess what? IT WAS NOT SATISFYING!!!#because they still didn't love me! and i still couldn't change that!#it was still a completely unsatisfying state of affairs!#so like. when the people who are supposed to love you...don't.#when the people who are supposed to take care of you...fail to#you can look for answers and reasons and explanations#but that's not actually going to FIX your situation.#and it's probably not within your ability TO fix the situation. (and definitely not your job)#because you don't need answers--you need a new situation#*inserts Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!! (Running Skeleton) Meme*#and yes. walking out isn't always possible.#but for you i hope it will be one day soon. and i hope you build the courage to take that leap.#stepping away from the people who failed to love you...it feels like being untethered but also like being lighter than air#new and scary. immensely relieving. the future opens up. empty but empty like a canvas. blindingly bright until your eyes adjust#like climbing out of a pit you called home and for the first time realizing how bright the light of day can truly be#when you aren't just getting glimpses from the bottom of a hole

let her go
#homestuck#vriska serket#terezi pyrope#vriska#terezi#vrisrezi#mic_art#screencap redraw of that one utena scene woohoo#vrisrezi and utenanthy dont share many similarities but there are some interesting parallels that can be drawn#like theyre all characters who are devoted to the respective roles they think they have#utena needs to be a prince and vriska needs to be a hero#terezi needs to cast vriska as the villain so that she can be the one to bring her to justice while anthy#is resigned to her role as the rose bride and is cast as a witch by others (and herself in a way...) to justify her suffering#im too tired to put into words all the other shit rattlign around in my brain but something something vriska society violence princes utena#something interesting to note is that in the rgu stabbing scene utena is walking to the left while is hs vriskas walking to the right#which i think is mostly a cultural difference due to english being read left to right while japanese is read right to left#changing which direction is percieved as forward#which could be read further into but could also just be the natural flow of the scene or whateevr#idk i need to peruse ohtori.nu again i looooove reading utena essays

end the cycle of sadness, but seek no justice
Will wait for the official translation but this is crap. In fact, it feels like another continuation of Deku's absolute refusal to engage and respond to Shigaraki.
Shigaraki's admitting here that Deku was right that he's just a crying brat, and Deku just doesn't respond to that??? After all those declarations about saving the Crying Child? No 'I'm sorry you were in pain and no one saved you back then', or. idk. bringing up what Tenko had told him during the Crying Child Saving Moment and addressing those things. 'You exist. That's enough.' or even 'You felt rejected and rejected back.' 'You asked what was the point of having these hands. You helped defeat AFO.'
Instead Deku only goes on to say basically 'you're unforgivable. you create misery and you know it so i'm stopping it here.'
If I squint, in a way, Deku is responding to the crying child thing? 'I was a crying brat' 'which is why I wanted to stop your sadness'.
But any comfort in that is ruined by the following 'because your sadness makes other people sad.'
Honestly the 'i wanted you to stop and you wanted to be stopped, so the sadness won't continue' sounds like the stuff Tenko's grandparents tried to do to dry his tears.
'I want you to stop crying, you also want to stop crying, so it's you creating this awkward sadness that's involves us troubling us.'
So we're back to making sure the victim suffers in silence and not bother other people? Yay.
#it's okay to acknowledge sadness caused by the failures of the hero system#but asking for accountability??? asking for us to change???#that's villain talk#our family is fucked up but endeavor should stay a hero#sorry your children got hate crimed by bigots but have you tried being model minorities?#toga and ochako's resolution is much better than any of the others#but didn't address quirk counseling or toga's parent's abuse#and tenko's whole thing was caused by afo#While The Walk is just...#nevermind i guess!#you were manipulated by afo and heroes knew shit all about that and hero have been dehumanizing villains and rejecting outcasts#but you're really just a sad child and unforgivable and need to die#maybe 'you already destroyed it' is some hint of change#but barely convincing#the best civilian could do is offer Deku a LIMITED EDITION ALL MIGHT MERCH SHIRT#jfc

*Taash and their mother arguing about their gender identity in the kitchen with Rook uncomfortably stuck in the middle of it*
Meanwhile Lucanis in the pantry:
#awkwardly biding his time before he can walk out for coffee#he and Taash both had quest triggers when Shathann showed up so I just know he was aware of what was happening#Spite was probably pressed up against the door while Lucanis zoned out staring at a wall#dragon age the veilguard#datv#veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#taash#da#a.txt

Hello Madam. Sorry Madam.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#madam jin#jin zixuan#jiang yanli#'Hey what is WWX trying to do here?' some kind of grab-and-twist maneuver that would be very upsetting to watch.#I know LWJ technically assists WWX in this scene in terms of blocking someone's blow on his behalf -#- but let's be honest. Real friends stop you from doing the truly stupid things.#Or maybe it was envy. Penis envy. The non-freudian kind.#Regardless...man this whole scene was just full of “and then someone else walks in”.#I swear to god every cultivator who is supposed to be hunting ends up wandering into this part of the woods.#a bonus for me because it gives me several good joke opportunities.#Madam Jin gets top prize for best entrance and exit. I wish her all the best. And a divorce…madam please leave him…#And can we please address the horses? I love horses. But why...why do they ride in on horses when they HAVE FLYING SWORDS?#I can only imagine it is for the dramatic flair? It just feels so jarring hearing someone clip clop in#and then another person swoop in on a sword.#The rules of mdzs's world can get fuzzy and I have to nod in an impressed manner at how much MXTX gets away not explaining.#Maybe the sword gets tired after a while and they need to give it a break? Maybe there is a sword union that dictates working hour limits?#…Would that make Chenqing a scab? Oh god it would… unions *hate* this flute!
