A Batman who kills people is a bad Batman. Except for Terry because he is my special boy. Terry can drown a man it's ok. He can literally shatter a woman it's fine.

Chim saying that Gerrard is hanging out with Buck bc Buck’s dumb & it makes Gerrard feel better about himself like Buck isn’t the one that came up idea after idea in the opening arc to save people when they didn’t have any other options and were floundering.

Literally leave my guy alone. He might not be great at knowing what he’s feeling but he IS book smart as fuck & I will not take this slander 😤

lord its so dark in here the sahara desert of tsaritsa content you are like a shining oasis. your characterisation of her compels me & mihoyo would be hard pressed to top it imo.!! caaaaan i humbly request yr thoughts on her first meeting w a reader of any kind, or maybe even multiple kinds (sagau, sagau god au, isekai, etc) if you so desire...

it really is like a desert here. being the fan of a character we aren't getting until the last damn nation is driving me up a wall but i will persevere bc if nothing else i support morally bankrupt women in media. we r in a severe drought over here but i do my best. unfortunately nothing i say is ever coherent so pull out your translation notes its abt 2 be messy

also this got out of hand but thats bc first meetings w the tsaritsa are tricky to write + a LOT of her characterization lies in deeper exploration then just surface level yknow...NOT A DIG AT YOU this is just my excuse for rambling. gently pats the tsaritsa she can hold so much complexity i do not have the word count to delve into it completely :]

gonna talk cult au for a bit here though because that's 99% of my content. and honestly? she thrives in sub au's of the cult au like villain au + imposter au. it's basically made for her. i mean, early days, the imposter au had been going around for a little while but one of the first few ideas was the Fatui taking reader in so like. it kinda technically actually was. pretty sure cult au Tsaritsa popped up because of the imposter au. a lot of it's writers kinda left though which. man am i getting old or.

anyway.

there isn't much of a chance her first impression is all that positive. at best it's usually neutral, imo, but rarely if ever positive. specifically because i view the Tsaritsa as someone who isn't as fanatical as most of the acolytes typically are towards the creator. she's not exactly going to worship the ground you walk on unlike a certain geo lizard. which is partially why i think she thrives in the sub au's i mentioned.

imposter au, for example. she meets you at your lowest. there's no gaudy extravagance or pampering from the acolytes waiting for you because your own acolytes have turned on you. for all intents and purposes you aren't a "god" at all. which is why i don't think she meshes well with normal cult au reader. the Fatui are made up of outcasts, basically, and imposter au slots right in just perfectly. you're weak, at your lowest, when you meet the Fatui in the imposter au. and the Fatui can help you, too.

a mutual exchange, really. the Tsaritsa sees a tool she can use to one up the rest of the nations and especially Archons, and she has no qualms about you using her and the Fatui in turn. you both want something out of it, after all. whether you just want to be safe from the rest of the acolytes, or you want revenge, or whatever else..she'll give you the power to fulfill it, and she gains the strongest piece on the chessboard when all is said and done.

the best way i can describe the first meeting is "practical", i suppose. she sees an opportunity in you. the ultimate gamble. because if she "saves" you, and you dont trust anyone else because they tried to kill you, well..she holds all the cards, doesn't she?

but the Tsaritsa, imo, is just as capable of being just as fanatical towards you as anyone else. she just won't worship you as the creator. but as yourself? clawing your way back to your divine power and taking back what belongs to you? the Tsaritsa is, to me, a character who's character flourishes in long-term fics more because she changes a LOT between "just met reader" and after having been with reader for some time. she's practically apathetic at the beginning but a lot of her character, in my characterization, shines through LONG after the first meeting.

I understand not liking all of Harris's policies. I understand not wanting her as president. I understand believing she will not improve things for the vast majority of people. what I don't understand is looking at the two choices we have and choosing to focus on how much she will not help, because if we're honest at worst she will maintain status quo, whereas Trump is vying to make it worse. like at a certain point you gotta man up and understand that sometimes you're not voting for who wins but rather who loses. why would you rather Harris lose than Trump

What if.

Listen, I see Ed and Al as trans in anyway (though my preferred hcs as of current are transfem Al and Transmale Ed).

But what if, WHAT IF transfem Ed?

What if, double hear me out, transfem Wrath(03)?

.... Yes, I'll see myself out, thank you for listening.

ive said it before and i'll say it again: just because industry is polluting an overwhelmingly large amount does not make individual action to help preserve the environment useless. obviously, reducing waste from the biggest polluters is a priority but it's worth remembering that even though you may feel like just one person, you're actually one out of 8 billion people and if enough of us all do the same thing, it can actually make a massive difference. it requires the individuals involved to actually commit and make the choice to do it tho

casually going through YT on a long ass drive:

INFORMATION VIDEOS ABOUT THE GOOSEWORX SICH THAG I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT-

oh. God.

So. Apparently Gooseworx was doxxed! That's uh- not good. I'm genuinely terrified for them about this- and the thing is it's not a uncommon thing to happen among indie communities- luckily the post with the dox was taken down, but even still. I hope they are ok-

There has just been- a lot going on. Since TADC has a hug fandom, it also has a huge hatedom. Its.. crazy to say the least.

Gooseworx has also been accused of having a Dr1ll1ng fedish.

I personally didn't know what it was until this and I wish to unlearn it

Tw for the next paragraph: dr1ll1ng fedish, serial killers, possible necrophilia?? It should be over on the paragraph after the next.

So for those who do not know a drilling fedish is the fedishization of something infamous serial killer Jeffery Dahmer did. As a 'experiment' he drilled a hole into the head of his dead victims, and poured acid into the head, hoping to create a mindless sex doll basically. Really gross shit.

Goose was being accused of having this fedish a bit back, and now people are using it against them.

When shown old allegations of the possiblity of them having a drilling fedish, they swept it off, saying there was no proof it was a fedish.

Although I don't believe goose has a drilling fedish, the fact that the drew such a thing casually is a tad concerning.

I'm going to link a video about the situation that explains it a bit better than I do.

And let's say hypothetically all the allegations are true, that does NOT mean they should be doxxed. No one deserves that. No endless they are a murderer or something really bad like that, then they do. To the authorities.

Anyway, thank you for listening, I hope everything ends ok-ish in the end.
