i cant stop thinking about how bruce didnt 100% understand exactly HOW HARD peter hits when he grabbed him by the back of the neck 💀 did he process that differently after seeing peter hold up the building?
he's seen more of peter's other abilities than he has strength. i.e. his stealth and his agility. however, spider-man caught a bus before and that wouldn't have gone unnoticed. bruce was very aware that peter could have very well kicked him to next week- but the building thing would have been a "hm" moment for him. because spider-man caught a bus, sure. but now we're getting up there in strength- an entire building, held up for several minutes.
if peter was up to standard for nutrition and training, etc, then he wouldn't have blacked out. it would have been far easier and that caught bruce's attention more than anything. alfred started making a nutritional diet for peter to make up for what he's lost, and damian started testing out what peter already does and doesn't know/can do. bruce has been paying attention to all of it. i've hinted that bruce would be helping peter with his spider-sense later, but there's more to that than JUST spider-sense. we'll get to know more about that during friendsgiving
also: bruce been working with and has worked against supers for a good chunk of his career. so if he'd have taken the hit, he'd have treated it like it was nothing and PETER would have been the one freaked out in this situation. bruce is so so so human but he is terrifying at the end of the day.
(it would have hurt SOOOO bad but bruce would be pretending he's fine)

can someone explain better than i can why a somewhat consistent canon matters? to me "fuck canon we do what we want" has its limits, to an extent its freeing and you can do alot with it ... but if theres no groundwork to build on? what does it matter? when canon doesnt matter why does anything? why spent time thinking about it?
this was about arcane at first but it also applies to totk, when the canon can just be erased and replaced, changed with no consistency or rules i cant invest time thinking about anything bc .... it can all be changed anyway, without any rules in fiction it all stops being interesting to me
having rules, or groundwork to work with and around is fun and interesting, but when its made clear that nothign of that actually matters? its boring and i feel cheated, just like how i felt so cheated by totk, it makign clear that everything botw established never actually mattered, it being downright erased ... that is why my love for zelda has faltered into indifference, the only thing making me hold on to it being the projects i have already invested so much time into ..
if you read a book and important details change or go missing after you read it, or with every time you read through it with no rule or system to it at all? its tiring and annoying, why care when they dont, how can i care about a character if i know they will just go and completely change who they are while acting like that was always how it was, idk, im bad at putting my feelings into thoughts :I
#ganondoodles talks#personal#arcane#totk critical#someone better with words ;___;#i understand where the idea comes from just saying that canon doesnt matter anyway#but to me it does????#bc i cant invest my thought and time into something when it doesnt matter anyway#why spent time on that if will just get thrown away#if you take away my pan while im cooking its hard to keep going with it???? idk???#and YES its taken away i cant just .... put it into my own ... i mean yes i can but also not its not the same aaaaaaaaaaaargh#??????????? does anyone know what i mean?????????????

fake dating is definitely one of my favorite tropes eveeeeeeer and ive been thinking for a while about a cherik fake dating au with a twist where raven and the kids become really invested in charles' romantic life and his capacity (or lack of) to get someone into his bed, to a point where sometimes raven will try to be charles' wingwoman (even tho he definitely didn't ask for this). charles used to indulge her a little in the beginning but then he started to be very adamant in his refusing, and angel is the one to nonchalantly let out a comment about how she bets the reason charles isn't dating anyone else is bc he's dating erik in secret "who goes to a strip club and keeps ogling your friend instead of naked women?" and its like opening a pandora box. now the kids can't help by analyzing every move charles and erik do around each other, they fully believe they're dating in secret "there's only so much chess one can play" "the way erik looks at the professor like he wants to take a bite" "i knew there was something off about them, like there's a tension there i could never put my finger on" and they think charles is keeping it a secret bc he's worried the kids might not support them (not bc erik is a man but bc erik is... well, erik) so they keep making ominous comments about how they want charles to be happy and etc until one day charles can't take it anymore and read sean's mind. he's half amused half horrified and tells erik who's only amused (and secretly smug) about it. it finally makes sense why the arranged dates have stopped, and after a conversation with erik about it over whiskey and chess (and bc charles really wants his students and his sister out of his business, thank you very much) he just. let them think they're right. they even act their part. instead of acting like a couple to convince the kids they're together they do the opposite and try to act like they're NOT together to keep up with the act. rather than an explicit pda, they're performing with those longing glances and feather touches, always trying to act like they're hiding something when someone walks into the room (sean looks at them with wide eyes before trying to compose himself, or raven with that dangerous and delighted glint in her eyes, hank always looks a little constipated) but it definitely comes back to bite them in the ass bc now charles has to acknowledge the tension he also knows its there, and it gets harder and harder to pretend he doesn't feel anything when now it seems that erik has a even stronger magnetic pull (ha ha) and he cant keep his eyes off of him or cant keep himself out of erik's space. not that erik is any different, every time he's in the room charles feels the back of his neck burning with the weight of those eyes on him (plus the kids' eyes looking at them). it goes like that until erik loses his patience and kisses charles (in a very non-friendly-non-pg13 way) against the library's wall, holding him with firm hands around the waist. charles can't help the tiny wet moans that keep leaving his mouth without permission, and they're so lost in each other that they fail to notice alex opening the door until its too late.
#i want the kids tormenting them and then cherik tormenting them right back#sean thinks very loudly for charles to hear 'please please please we know yall are together i cant stand those heated looks anymore'#erik is having the time of his life#charles is mortified#cherik#x men#charles xavier#x men movies#erik lehnsherr#professor x#x men first class#magneto#x men days of future past#cherik au#cherik fic

Oh right. The other one.
CW: Undertale rant/analysis
Ive played Undertale- hundreds of times. and lately ive reflected on how the game is supposed to make you feel IN THE MOMENT- since ive kinda forgotten a lot of that. Because of the aforementioned ✨“hundreds of times”✨
Everything ofc still feels just as captivating, but nothings surprising because im not playing it from the perspective of someone who has absolutely no idea whats going to happen next. Sometimes I overlook and forget how the little details are supposed to make you feel/think about the characters. Like how Undyne is implied to be an abusive boss. After you get to know her, then replay, you hear how Papyrus talks about her at first, and see their interaction as you enter Waterfall, and you completely understand!
But BEFORE- youre like “oooohhh she’s threatening him-“
On this topic, I rewatched some playthroughs, and saw their first reactions to geno papyrus death, and I realized. that this room placement. IS SO COOL!!!!
Normally its like- yep! I just befriended/beat papyrus, time to continue on my way- oo hi sans! sure, ill go to Grillbys with you! Even on replays, you’re not really excepting him in any room hes in, im just like “oh yep, theres the man.”
But when you kill Papyrus for the first time, usually on a geno route. That same thing kicks in. You’re not predicting him to be there cause youre focused on the room youre in currently, but when you GET THERE youre like “oh yeah and thats where Sans is” but he’s NOT THERE and you stop for a millisecond and go “oh, no yeah, that makes sense.”
…the silence doesn’t help either.
Its worse that he’s all over the underground too, not just in the start of Waterfall. Even not seeing him in front of the mtt resort is just a slap in the face 😭
If youve gotten to the phase of killing people on purpose to see what will happen, youve also gotten to the phase of KNOWING theres gonna be consequences, so Sans not being there shoudnt hit as hard as it does BUT IT DOES (at least for me)
The typical reactions to Monster death in general that you cant avoid are Undyne and Sans’ speeches, and neutral run phonecalls. DIALOGUE. things that appear because of what you did. But with Sans its not what he does or says (up until the judgment hall) its what he doesn’t do.
He doesn’t bother to show up, to say anything to you because what is there to say??? Ignoring how personal it is for a sec- Sans knows this isnt your first time playing, but doesn’t comment on it (much). Right now he still believes the anomaly just wants to be happy, so gives the benefit of the doubt.
That is until you kill the dude that is impossible to kill on accident, or argue in self defense.
Now Sans knows the anomaly just wants to know what will happen. Doesn’t care if its bad or not, they’re just curious, so theres no point.
STILL he wants them to reset and do something ELSE so he halfway pleads with them in the judgment hall to rethink what they’ve done. The fact that he asks an answerable question feels important to me, like hes searching for something, ANY reason. But maybe hes trying to make you see that- there was no reason. Youre DUMB and you should RESET because- WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS????
What I also find really powerful even on replays, is the silence after he drops lines like this. Especially the judgment hall question. Sometimes I do sit there and soak in the silence like- “jesus. Yeah, why DID i do that?”
My main point of this entire thing is, I LOVE this game, I LOVE Papyrus and his impact on the game even when he isnt there, and I wish I could play it for the first time again, and fall in love with it all over again, but alas, hitting myself with a rock to screw up my memory only works 17% of the time,
so im happy enough sticking with changing my perspective, and taking a moment to remember what it felt like to accidentally kill toriel and realize your actions have consequences, to beat Undyne the Undying, to hug Asriel, to hear that Undertale was getting a “sequel”, and to hear that dreaded line, “Then why did you kill my brother.” all for the first time again.

Thinking about how the curse ended, and how the guys remembered everything. Also thinking about what would happen if they didn’t remember anything from while they’re cursed. You know, Raph just ‘wakes up’ as it were with his hands wrapped around Donnie’s throat, half unconscious and saying I forgive you, Leo ‘wakes up’ with a concussion and a bloody sword, no idea what just happened and Mikey ‘wakes up’ restrained by Donnie’s spider shell. I mean, it wouldn’t take long to put the pieces together, but they also wouldn’t know just how bad things had gotten. How would they even respond to that?
Also thinking about the curse just…fading away instead of ending so abruptly. Like, the guys go to bed normally, Donnie’s dissociating in the laundry room after they attacked him or something, and they just wake up the next day only to be slammed in the face with clear thinking and the memory of the last three months
an ME/CW where they remembered nothing would ultimately be... similar, but with less character introspection for anyone but donnie. with how the curse progresses i wouldnt be able to pinpoint the exact points where they would completely lose themselves, but theyd probably have to rely on april a lot more with how unreliable donnie is, and she wasn't there for a majority of it. and i think there's some unique kind of dread in the UNCERTAINTY of what they actually did. they see the injuries left behind and the way his behavior has so drastically shifted, but they cant really know for sure-- oh my god, seeing the CAMERAS after the fact??? raph seeing the moment he broke donnie's wrist while he begged him to stop while having no recollection of doing it at all?? horrifying concept!!! it'd feel more like somehow they'd failed in protecting him from something else, even though they were technically the ones responsible. they'd probably be more competent in handling it though
AND AND AND with the curse fading away naturally ouhhh i have actually thought about this before. imagine if it broke when he was in four days in the closet (either for that reason or maybe his ninpo breaks there, arguably a good time for it to be a snapping point for him). they swing open the door and are shouting "oh my god, oh my god, holy shit, are you okay?!" and he's so disoriented and scared that he doesn't even recognize them, especially with the whiplash of it all, and he keeps wrenching away from them and backing further into the dark because he's so freaked out and theyre not helping with their panicking .... arhghhhh. at least with the way that it breaks at the end of CL, it doesnt feel so immediate because he passes out afterwards, but like... oh my god if it was ANY point before the murder attempt at the end!! it would be so horrifying and i dont even think donnie would believe them!!! he'd just be so confused and scared!!! painful!!!!!!

I don’t think Shilo really understands consent.
Like- as a required and good thing. He does know theoretically what he does is bad. He understands that his manipulation and domination of people is a violation but it seems very soft of a boundary to him. Despite what people tell him over and over about how wrong his constant domination of mortals or other vampires is he doesn’t stop. He thinks he knows better, and so he does it with no regard for the other person at all. And if he is told that what he did was horrible he tries to explain that his fix was important and helpful, not considering the possibility that the act itself is the problem. You can see when Emizel confronts him with what he did to Theo, he is defensive of his reasoning first and only when Emizel doesn’t back down (because that’s not really the issue here) does Shilo offer to maybe fix Theo (It’s also telling that he does this by adding another command instead of nullifying what he did previously)
I don’t think he understands why taking away someone’s free will and choice is bad. It’s the thing of like yeah you’re told doing this is bad, but you can get what you want by doing it and no one ever explains how it hurts people or why it’s wrong so you just get better at doing it when no one’s looking. Shilo sees he has the power to do this, and thus he does. It’s about being above the people he does this to, he knows better then them, he’s more powerful so he is entitled to this. And I think his worldview is so interesting when considering Shilo’s own treatment and lack of autonomy. Because it’s a system of abuse.
Shilo has lived in the castle his whole life, trapped in his room. He isn’t allowed to leave, he isn’t allowed to talk to people, he isn’t allowed books outside of what is approved, he is taught by his uncle, he attends lessons when told to, he eats what they provide him, he sees his mother when she wants to see him. Shilo isn’t allowed to be a person. Shilo wants to go outside, and to see what his books talk about, to have experiences. But Shilo is weaker than his uncle, weaker than his mother, so he cant. If he was better, if he was smarter, if he was more powerful he could have control. But he doesn’t.
He uses the guards, because since they are weaker than him they don’t get to have control. He does not care if he gets them killed, because if you are above someone you get to decide their life. It’s the strong’s right to own the weak. It’s how Shilo is obedient and submissive because he knows his place. He was never allowed autonomy so that’s how he sees everyone else too. He doesn’t see that this was wrong and so perpetuates the cycle. He acts within the rules of that system he has grown up in when that system doesn’t exist. The things people are expecting him to already know he can’t comprehend. Consent isn’t something he was ever taught or shown, so he can’t internalize it. Because of this lack of understanding he also can’t fully explain or process what happens to him.
There is a lack of really talking about or processing what Edward did to Shilo by the characters. And Shilo specifically hates Edward but in an almost disconnected way if that makes sense. He does not want to see Edward and doesn’t like to think about it but when they talk about hating the guy and planning to kill him Shilo talks about how his face is weird and that he’s an asshole but not really about the blood bond or anything. I think Shilo can’t actually conceptualize why this event, waking up in a creepy guys house in a robe forcibly bonded while unconscious and then tricked into it again under false pretenses all while being in this guys bed with him trying to seduce you or something, freaks him out so much. Because to him that should be completely in line with the system, it’s normal so he shouldn’t be feeling like this, it isn’t a big deal. But it is and Shilo doesn’t know why. He can’t explain really what it was to anyone either because he doesn’t know what made it so bad. And since he can’t get it, he can’t learn anything from it, he commits to the system harder and plans revenge. Shilo gets worse and the cycle goes on.
I don’t really have a way to end this I just- Shilo makes me crazy. I hope he kills people next season.

my big theory about whats going on in the bp universe- pt1
hey guys!!!! im just so excited abt the whole tour and the possibility that theyll release new stuff so i thought. why not share the brainrot with the swarm!!!
this is gonna be a i think 5-part (maybe more, maybe less) series of theories im gonna be doing :)
i also wanted to clarify that these are my theories and i am not in any way claiming they are true! im just having some fun lmao, if u wanna add anything just share with me im curious
(i dont include house of wolves and teenagers in the story btw they just dont fit in for me)
this is the part 1, the beginning.
the black parade, for me, is about death. and coming to terms with yourself. i am going to tell the story how i view it.
the story is about the patient, a man dying of terminal illness, most possibly cancer. he is alone, he is sad, and he has nobody to spend his last moments with. this is about him. and death.
his story starts with i dont love you. his partner has had enough of him: he is selfish, broken, and they dont think they can fix him. so they leave him. and he is alone.
the patient never had anyone he could remember of apart of them: his family? he didnt remember them.
in between that and the next song of the album, his fate is sealed. he gets diagnosed with terminal cancer and admitted into hospital. he has no one there. he cant remember anything about his past, in between these white walls.
the sharpest lives, the next song of the album, is the patient being angry. he is angry, at his partner, at the hospital, at himself, at the non-existent god that cursed him to this fate. he cant die, he does not deserve to. he complains, shouting at no one, about his unfair fate.
in this is how i disappear, his anger slowly starts to dissipate, shifting, and turning into slight sadness, maybe even remorse. he misses his lover: he wants to be normal. he wants them back. he doesnt want to go just yet.
in cancer, the patient is starting to realize his fate: hes dying. and there is nothing he can do to stop it. hes regretting every single mistake he ever made. the patient hates himself. he is alone because he deserves it: dying will free him for all this loneliness. he says his goodbyes to no one. and then he dies.
the end.
he opens his eyes, and he is in a place he does not recognize. a land of gothic infrastructures, tall and cutting the horizon into strange shapes. (we'll talk about this landscape more in the future; remember it.) he is surrounded by silhouettes, faceless people he does not know, but that yet seem so familiar. a young white-haired man approached him, smiling. "welcome," he said. "to the aftermath of your life."
the young man, the parade leader as he calls himself, explains to the patient that he is dead. he tells him that because of what how much of an asshole he was when alive, he is here, now.
in welcome to the black parade, the parade leader tells the patient about this place.
the parade, for me, is the purgatory: they send lost souls there to repent themselves- or, alternatively, to get them to hell. the parade leader and his band sing for them, they sing for them to make them remember all their past mistakes and to decide of their fate. the band is stuck there, in this limbo, forever: what got them here, they do not know. maybe the tour will shed some light on the origin of the parade.
then comes dead!, where the parade leader laughs at the patient, explaining to him that he made these mistakes, that he is unloved and he deserves whats hapenning to him now. the patient tries to deny it so hard, but he knows its true. he knows he fucked up.
in a burst of pain, for knowing that this is his fault, the patient has a vision.
he lays in wet dirt, the smell of blood and death in his nostrils. he hears screams and gunshots all around him.
suddenly, he remembers. the patient went to war, probably world war two (i like to think he went there because of the ghost of you music video. maybe im overthinking it lmao), and killed people there. a lot of people. it was normal to kill people at war, of course. but it haunted him. during the battles, he lost so many friends. so many brothers. the only person he had left was his mother.
mama.
his mother cried when he came back. because she could see the blood on his hands. she cried because her own son had murdered other women's flesh- their families.
she died quickly, too sad to live like this.
from that moment and then next song, there is a big gap that im going to try my best to explain.
basically, after the patient recovered his memories of his mother and the war, he started regretting all that he did even more. at the same time, he accepted it: everyone was imperfect. everyone was human. he comes at peace with himself, and prepares to die. i mean yeah he already died but like just his mind died? like he was still technically alive because his old memories still attached him to the living world.
in famous last words, the patient tells his last regrets to the parade leader: how he couldnt tell his mother and his partner that he loved them: that he couldnt live a long healthy life: that he couldnt say sorry to the mothers of all the men he killed.
but in disenchanted, he comes to terms with that: it is sad, but it is how it is. just a sad song, with nothing to say. there is nothing he can do to stop it, so he might as well go peacefully.
the parade leader, himself, had grown attached to this man: the patient was like him in many ways. he couldnt quite explain it, or understand it, but it hurt to let him go.
and so, in sleep, the parade leader sets him off. his song comes from deep inside, from his guts. it hurts. it hurts so bad to let him go. as he screams at him to go to sleep, there is a flash of darkness. and so the patient ends.
thats kind of my interpretation of the story! a man who is broken and does not know why, who is going to suffer an unfair end, and who finally comes to terms with who he is thanks to another lost soul. ofc, thats just how i personally see it!
last little thing before he start working on the next parts, for which i have wayyy more evidence for what im gonna speculate hehe
blood is the "transition" to the next part of the story. the parade changed after the death of the patient. it wasnt the patient directly, but something had changed after he left. the parade had become more defiant, more unstable, more resisting. so someone had to stop them.
thats when swarm comes in.
feel free to share ur theories with me!! i love to hear them :3

i keep thinking about hobbies and how i often spill over myself to pick up new ones. i have adhd, i end up trying something for like a month and then just getting far enough in it that i move on, satisfied.
and that should be fine; but it's never fine.
i am a pretty decent artist; but i can't just make art for my dnd campaign, i should be selling dnd maps and character designs and scene setting pieces. i can't just make my friends matching earrings, i need to get an etsy and ship them internationally and take bulk orders. i make pretty good props and decorations and use them to throw my friends parties - but i should be running a party planning business and start taking paying clients and networking and putting my skills to actual use.
for some reason, i never figured out the specifics of pottery. it was a fun class and i enjoyed myself - and still, i'm embarrassed, years later, that i put in all that useless effort. everything i make has to be stunning. stellar. i should have applied myself more. maybe i'm too lazy. maybe i'm broken and selfish and needy. actually creative people would have kept going; they would be bettering themselves at every possible opportunity.
we find ourselves in this trap, even accidentally: we need to commodify our time, because it is a commodity. if we spend our efforts and our time not earning, isn't that the same thing as burning free money? and god forbid you ever take up a hobby that ends up being more expensive than you thought. you sit in your car and you look at the receipt and in your head you hear a conversation that isn't even happening - your mom or your friend or your partner all saying oh great. not this shit again. it's always something with you, and it never actually means anything.
i have realized this horrible thing, recently - i'll get excited to start a project, pick up a new hobby. and then i just... stop myself. i start thinking about the amount of time it will take, and how it'll look in my monthly budget. what if i can't even produce a good enough final product. sure, it's exciting to think about how i could make my friend her own custom dice. but i'm just polluting the earth if i don't get it right. better not bother. better not try.
restless, i get caught in the negative space. the feeling that oh god, i want to create. and that horrible sense - yeah, but i don't have the time to just put to waste.
#hobbies#writeblr#what stage of weirdness to write about hobbies on my hobby writing blog#although i know OBJECTIVELY i am a creative person#i often forget to label myself that bc i don't feel im an ARTISTIC person bc i don't do anything like that professionally#writing doesn't even feel like a hobby i think that surprises nobody for me to be like#it would be easier for me to stop . like. breathing.#which feels cheesy and trite but listen im running late for a meeting and all i really want to say is like#i couldn't even consider writing my hobby bc it makes my skin crawl bc it makes it sound like it's not important to me#bc we really devalue hobbies. like entirely.#it HAS to be a job. it must#also idk if this is clear but i personally get stuck in this space where i CANT create bc i am putting so much pressure on myself#to make it RIGHT#and im like ... idk i only have an hour#so probably shouldnt get involved in this thing

invisible scars (referenced previous talk here)
[ID: A colourless, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood talking about Wolfwood's scars. They're both laying in bed and topless. Vash lays on top of Wolfwood, playing with the rosary around his neck. Then, Vash kisses a spot on Wolfwood's chest. Wolfwood asks, "What are you doing?" Vash smiles sadly, "You got shot here. In the last town we visited. You didn't even bother moving."
Vash props himself up over Wolfwood, who frowns slightly. Wolfwood is quiet for a moment before he says, "You remember that, huh?" Vash grabs Wolfwood's left wrist and brings it to his face. "And here." He kisses another spot there. "When you helped free the hostages from that robber..." Wolfwood dismissively says, looking away, "Was a lucky shot." Vash huffs, “Don’t brag. Jeez.”
Half of Wolfwood's expression is shown, eyes returning to Vash who is now sitting up, continuing to say, "And..." Vash goes on and kiss Wolfwood's right palm. "You got cut here, even though that girl was aiming at me." A moment from the past flashes, of Wolfwood grabbing a knife aimed at Vash, his hand bleeding.
At present, Vash moves down and puts another kiss on Wolfwood's right shoulder. "And here, from watching my back." Another memory flashes of Wolfwood and Vash back to back. Vash looks back as Wolfwood grins while holding Punisher, bleeding from multiple gunshots in his shoulder.
"And," Vash combs up Wolfwood's hair to reveal his forehead, "Here." A final memory shows Wolfwood with a regeneration vial in his mouth while getting shot on his temple. The next panel is framed in blood with Vash at the center, eyes wide and stunned in horror. The next panel is a closed up shot of Wolfwood's eye, locked on Vash's face.
Back to present, Vash’s head is bowed down as Wolfwood raises a hand to his nape and says, “Spikey.”
Wolfwood looks serious and frowns as he says, "We talked about this. Those were my decisions. They're not there anymore. Forget about them." Vash looks very sad before he smiles ruefully and says, "I still see them. All the time." He leans down so they touch foreheads. Wolfwood’s sorrowful expression can be seen as Vash says, "You protect so much. I could never forget what you've done to me. And many others..."
In the last image, they're drawn more cartoonishly. Wolfwood sweats and asks, "You don't actually remember every wound, right?" Vash points at a spot on his chest. "Kuroneko left a scratch here 7 times." Wolfwood, startled, says, "Why the hell are you keeping count—" End ID]

#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#another scars comic for one of the vw week days!!!! frankly i think about their scars WAY too often . most notably wolfwood's because#it really symbolizes a lot for him imo bc for vash it's a history of all the people that's ever harmed him betrayed him and the trust he has#given to humanity despite it all. its a beautiful reflection of his character and then u look at ww and presumably#since we dont really see him half naked Ever (shame) and i mean. i guess technically its a hc -- i assume he wouldn't have any scars bc#of the regen potions (which is why he doesnt have his t scars btw the regen pot took them away :pensive:)#in a way its like washing his hands of blood. giving him the body of someone who might never been involved in a fight never held a gun#but he knows thats not true yet he cant really do anything about it anyway bc he's still just human. if he stops taking the regen pots#he can't press forward. so its just a rinse and repeat and growing accustomed to whats inflicted on him because he knows it'll go away at#the end of the day. he's human but he's also not he's far beyond what could be considered a normal human but he still just is.#mortal but also not immortal. idk. i overthink about it a lot GMSKGMDK frankly i dont think it matters THAT much in the context of trimax#but it means a lot to me somehow. also thinking about how no matter how many times ww kills he's never numb to the sensation of it. maybe#the adrenaline gets to him for the beginning half but ive been rereading like.. vol 3? and that entire fight for ww#u can slowly see him spiral as he keeps on going on. anyway anyway. i love ww#ruporas art

it might seem like im just a totk hater, and to be fair, i AM, but its not bc i think its bad in every way- if it was all bad, ok, then its all bad and we can forget it happened and can all accept that-
but totk specifically hit the jackpot of -things that frustrate me so much i cannot let go and need to talk about it-
its part of my current hyperfixation (or whatever is the right word), botw is one of my all time favorite games, and that one had so many mysteries i was DEEPLY invested in, its got great music and some absolutely fanatstic moments, some ideas are great to fine, but it doesnt make sense, i hate time travel like little else in games, it constantly contradicts itself, the franchise, even its previous game its supposed to be a sequel to, i felt like i was made fun of by the game itself, for caring so much about what they had set up or done in botw, the moment i saw what they did to the shrine of life i felt so devasted i could hear people pointing and laughing at me for having cared about it, the writing treating me like i am so brainless i cannot connect dot one and two when there are only two dots in front of me labeld 1 and 2 that it then tells me to connect directly, to my face, multiple times, before showing me how to draw a line, its full, so SO FULL of missed opportunities, its got choices in there that are just nothing but frustrating bc there were a hundred other ones, i can see what you could do wit hthe basic ideas, theres people that worship it to a point you cant say anything even mildly critical, even about objectively bad things (there is no excuse for that godawful arrow menu) bc they will jump at you like a rabid animal-
i could go on but you get the point, never in my life has anything hit me like that
#ganondoodles talks#like the closest i can think of is back when i was into transformers#the prime series was one of my first extreme obsessions but i think in season two it just went to shit#in every direction i hated basically#and it drove me nuts#but even then i could say ok its stupid now and stopped watching and caring#but totk isnt like that#its literally like a jackpot#but also dont think i am literally losing my mind bc im not that far gone ok#its just so so DAMN FRUSTRATING#to see what could have been#to see it be literally given to them freely#and them slapping it away and take soemthing out of a trashcan instead#and bc its a big game of big company i cant do anything about it

hellooooo sunset savanna event
not me just eating up the lil jamil crumbs (he doesnt even show up here)
also damn??? jamil CANNOT get a break. like kalim said there’s already a bunch of staff coming from scalding sands why do they still need the 17-yr-old college student 😭
you could argue he’s exceptionally great and capable at his job that’s why he’s still chosen to help but omg this poor guy just leave him alone 😭
dsfsd anyways this made me laugh (it was a note given to kalim by jamil) i love these two a lot
ALSO YUU AND GRIM ARE MATCHING AGAIN RAAHHHH
i actually havent seen grim’s cloudcalling ribbon??? so it was a really cute surprise when he showed up with it 🥺
“SURPRISINGLY NORMAL” “NOT STRANGE” BRO ARE THOSE SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLIMENTS OR???? 😭😭😭
i mean thank you to vil for calling us charming i guess even though it still feels a tad bit backhanded
aight back to the jamil torment
jamil you poor poor soul but this is so hilarious there’s just zero breaks for this guy
welp i finished the whole event in one go cant wait to see what’s next 😤
#dont know anything about what happens in this event tbh#but i’m not against spoilers if people wanna share#anyway cloudcalling on the savannah is such a nice en localization imo???#i keep messing up how to properly say tamashina mina so 😭#and lion man didnt come home but kalim did and that’s enough for me#kitty cat was too stubborn#[—✦ rambling#-✧ twst gameplay#tamashina mina#cloudcalling on the savanna#-✦—]#ALSO I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS WITH YUUSHA AND JAMIL#HEAD. IN. HANDS. HELP#jamil’s out there doing work#and then he comes to find out kalim participated in the beads brawl???#when kalim was only supposed to be visiting????#like jamil already expected kalim to be there to just chill but also yuu??? (and grim) was there too???#AND theyre having fun this entire time while hes busy??????#im losin it.#also i cant tell when this event takes place so i have no idea what stage yuusha and jamil are in their relationship#either way someone (jamil) is left out#i love them too much ur honor

its really awesummmmm to have body image problems in the world that we live in even trying to “eat healthily” always feels like subjecting myself to a disordered form of eating somehow because my palate is so rectricted already but when i just eat normal stuff that i enjoy like fucking TOAST i start feeling like im going to be killed badly and i overthink every meal choice i make and the amount of ambient Food Noise in my brain at all times is so overwhelming it makes me sick esp when all my “body positive” friends and family are always talking about diet this and diet that and protein shakes and what have you because it’s so insanely normal to do so and my algorithm wont stop showing me healthy cooking videos and talking about protein every meal, diet matters more than exercise, carb replacements tofu pancakes shut up SHUT UPPPPP!!!!!!!!! FUCKK
#i gained a lot of weight on my antidepressants and i cant just stop taking them but it is like fucking up my brain soooo bad to exist#like my brain knows its fine and normal but it doesnt even matter like i live with so much cognitive dissonance it’s become unreal#plus im on the Apps so my physical appearance really does have a direct impact on my life so im always thinking about it all the time#and it curtails with me being a picky eater which i feel like is heinous and morally weong on my part and i feel such an immense GUILT#about it while also being aware i cant really do anything about it yayyyyyy#and then even posting about it feels wrong because im like maybe externalizing it is worse blah blah blah#just feels like something is REALLY wrong with how i think about myself but theres no way to deal with it because#having that mindset about your body is literally the normal state of affairs in everyone else like#personal#flumps. i need to go do pilates now. i guess.

i just feel like some of us really never internalized the concepts of anti racism or intersectional feminism but just learned some fun little buzzwords to sprinkle into conversations like confetti
#im not saying im super well informed or an expert about anything#but . the discourse that has been happening……#also do not assume u agree w me lmfao.#jordan talks#sorry i cant take u seriously about being kind when ur telling people to kill themselves for a post u didnt like#i think we can just stop making posts.

What Deacon thinks: what did that mean? did he want me to wear a collar too? why else would he mention my neck? i mean, if he /asked/ me i would wear one but he didn't so would wearing one be weird?
What Ymber meant: It's nice to be near someone who isn't tethered to this world to serve it with a physical reminder for all to see.
#my characters#this just in ! thats why all the deities in the plot have collars and a chain !#its because THATS THEIR DESIGNATED I AM HERE TO HELP THIS WORLD SYMBOL#they cant remove their collars and thats fine by them - its a constant reminder that they exist to serve#deacon really shouldnt get as much crap as he gets in canon for being weird cause the deities are just a different brand of weird#like its not deacons fault that apparently you can say nice neck with no underlying desire#but he cant say hi would you please possess me i want to know what its like to have someone else in my body#like thats really not something you should pin on deacon YET EVERY deity is like wow what a lil weirdo#he also just really wants to please ymber so if ymber asked he would definitely do whatever#on the flip side i need to point out that deacon very specifically doesnt ask ymber for things nor does he pray for things#and it drives ymber up a wall because this is his favorite human who wont ask for anything and he isnt a psychic#he doesnt know what deacon wants or needs and its infuriating cause he exists to serve humanity#and yet this ONE GUY wont let him do things for him#this is very important and i cant believe i mentioned it like a month ago to someone and today#i received gift art of these two and i may never recover#its so perfect and its ymber just looming over deacon telling him that he can pray about anything to him#its also worth pointing out that when i was telling the person about the whole ymber begging for a prayer#its because he realizes that after all this time hes never had a single prayer from deacon - not before nor after the hire#so hes like oh well thats odd hmm#and then begins to talk to deacon like you know people pray to me for lots of things#and deacon looks at him unsure of what this is leading to - did someone offer a weird prayer? ask a weird thing? whatst?#and no - its just ymber saying that people will pray for wealth or an item#or they will express frustration if something is lost or broken despite it not being ymbers fault so deacon just stares#he has no idea what this is going to end on really so he points out 'well you do like to think you break people'#and ymber just ASDFASDFSADF STOP OK NEXT POINT people pray to me to bless relationships with happiness#and thats fascinating so deacon is like wow can you actually do that?#and ymber is so stressed as hes like i mean kinda i can simply amplify the positive emotions in gestures#like if someone gives an item out of love then its blessed#he also admits that he cant mask insincerity or malice so those feelings are not hidden nor amplified#and deacon just is impressed bc that is actually VERY cool
