Somethings been bugging me about Bad’s stream yesterday and I just realized what it is

When Bad was griefing the presidential office, the federation/cucurucho weren’t the ones that stopped him but the server admins

Bad built a machine that could destroy the presidential office and instead of cucurucho confronting him, the admins just made it disappear. Then when Bad started lava casting the offices, the admins stole his lava.

Idk if it was just me but that felt very underwhelming and inconsequential. Why did Forever get drugged when he built a world eater but cucurucho didn’t even show face when Bad built a machine that could demolish the presidential office?

Bad’s cold and calculated rampage felt like it had no weight because the admins just hand waved everything he did. If the federation had the power to disappear/steal any illegal machine they wanted then the whole thing with Foolish hiding Tubbo’s machine wouldn’t have happened. So many story beats in the past wouldn’t have happened.

It didn’t feel like the federation retaliating against Bad for trying to grief the presidential office, it felt like the admins telling cc!bad to stop which is… :(

This isn’t to nag on the admins or anything they’ve done spectacularly I just… I always feel like Bad gets the short end of the stick and as a bbh main, seeing the effort the admins went in for Forever then seeing what they did to Bad leaves a very bad taste in my mouth :/

#this isn’t negative towards forever either by the way #it’s just frustrating seeing the difference in attention everyone seems to get #compared to bad #:/#like why couldn’t they have just had cucucurucho show up #and tell him to stop #and destroy the machine #instead of an admin whisking it away #idk #bad put in all that work to find ways to hurt the feds #and the admins response was zero effort delete machine #it was very unsatisfying and left me feeling annoyed and not in a good way #idk :/#qsmp #crimson speaks

I can’t wait for the moment the general viewing audience doesn’t like Viktor anymore. I’m going to be insufferable. Like yeah, that’s MY favorite crazy evil monster, isn’t he incredible? The murder? He had his reasons. The unjustifiable, irredeemable series of insane crashout decisions he’s about to make in the next 3 episodes and subsequent season? You just won’t understand him like I will.

#the machine herald used to be a loving man #and then the man he loved destroyed his heart #the friends to lovers to enemies arc is so strong I’m getting high off of it #arcane #arcane spoilers #jayvik #viktor league of legends #viktor arcane #viktor the machine herald #the machine herald #jayce talis

Annoying that the response to deeply legitimate complaints about the quality of clothing being mass produced for all price points (even expensive brands have gotten worse) is to ALWAYS harp on buying second hand and shopping at thrift stores. When that requires much more luck, patience, free time, travel, etc than having quality clothes available anywhere the way they were in living memory, AND those quality second hand clothing become a nonrenewable resource if nothing of quality is being made. Buying thrifted clothes is NOT a long term solution to the fact that even the fabric available at fabric stores is worse than it used to be.

#it’s very individual solutions to a large scale problem #like poor quality is a symptom of the viscious machine of capitalist exploitation destroying our planet. you can’t individual #solutions yourself out of that. and it’s frustrating that every conversation turns into Try Thrifting! like yes that should be PART of #it but not the ONLY answer ever given

You asked me to teach you chess, and I've done that. It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. Do you know why not?

Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little and everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings and pawns.

I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. I don't envy you the decisions you're going to have to make. And one day I'll be gone, and you'll have no one to talk to. But if you remember nothing else, please remember this:

Chess is just a game. Real people aren't pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice.

The lesson is: Anyone who looks on the world as if it were a game of chess deserves to lose.

Nothing will ever be filled with more erotic and sexual tension than a man looking angrily at his lover and his lover looking back down at him serenely calm, not an ounce of fear in the moment, knowing they are almost equally matched.

✧*:･ﾟArt summary 2024

2014-2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021

#art summary #art summary 2024 #art summary meme #my art #I know two years are missing but I wanted to get back to doing this summary #no art in November apart from that little mushroom so I didn't separate Aster and Kornelia (I like that drawing lol)#I draw significantly less and even less for myself but I don't mind for some reason #idk maybe my hyperfixation is now writing #I used to draw and learn about art and consume it in every way #and then I think Al came in and started to slowly destroy that obsession bringing doubts about my skills and the whole sense of creating #I don't look for new art that much because the constant suspicion spoils the joy of exploration #I don't feel like posting drawings in low res blurry with added artefacts knowing they will be ground into mush anyway #all so the rich dudes become richer and the spiteful dudes drown in their own venom #I know writing is treated the same way as visual art #it's art after all so something useless and pointless #but at least I don't have to post my chapters every month and watch as they disappear in the everyday slop #though I'm sure the big bosses will take my words and feed them to the machines as well because why not #sorry about the tags xD #HAPPY NEW YEAR! (soon)#I hope 2025 is the year the Al bros choke ;)

The amount of b-grade/miscut/misprint stickers I get when making batches is goofy

What's in my hand is usable and can be sent out, the boxes behind it are all ones with imperfections/ damage but can't bring myself to throw away because it feels like I'm being wasteful. I might make 'scrap baggies' for each fandom and offer them on kofi for like 7-10 stickers for the price of one or something again

#sara shush #sticker stuff #on the up note i switched paper type and it has a better time reading the lines #but all my machine mats are lowkey destroyed and unusable because of use and cutting damage #none of them are sticky ive been using scotch tape to put the page on there #ordered some more #still deciding between manufacturers

living weapon whumpee who's never known anything but pain and violence.

their existence hurts. they were made to be effective, not happy, and their masters decided that keeping them in constant pain provided better results. they're wilder, more unpredictable, and the pain keeps them from thinking straight enough to question anything.

they're only given painkillers, only allowed a respite from their seemingly endless suffering, after a successful mission. it keeps them loyal, and most importantly, teaches their brain to associate acts of violence with relief and rewards.

everyone they've ever met has treated them as a tool, a monster, or both. they don't know how to be anything else.

that is until they're rampaging through a village, destroying, killing, whatever their masters demand of them. whatever will give them a few blissful hours of numbness.

one of the villagers steps out of a ruined building and looks them straight in the eyes. whumpee expects fear, hatred, disgust, the things they see in the faces of every person who's ever crossed their path. but they see something completely different.

compassion.

whumpee is so stunned, they don't think to move or do anything at all as the villager steps closer, gently reaching out a hand to cup whumpee's face.

"oh, poor thing." they murmur, taking in the creature in front of them - part human, part animal, part machine. "they've done a number on you, huh?"

whumpee blinks at them. pain continues to course through their body, but the gentle hand on their cheek distracts them, even if just a little. all the indistinct noise in their foggy, addled mind finally goes quiet.

caretaker had stepped out in front of the being destroying their home with the intention to get through to it or die trying, and the expectation to absolutely die trying.

they did not at all expect the seemingly feral mishmash of metal, fur, and flesh to lean so heavily into their touch that they nearly collapsed into caretaker's arms.

#whump #whump prompts #nonhuman whumpee #living weapon whumpee #mine #chariot shiori on the brain tonite #the intention here is for whumpee to be this genetically engineered fusion of human and animal #the general build and anatomy of a human #but they grow fur on their limbs and partially up their back. they have an animal's sensitive ears. sharp canine fangs and a prehensile tail #and beyond that they've been outfitted with machine 'enhancements' to make them better suited for combat and destruction #and they've never experienced a kind touch in their life #letting them feel comfort will make them crave it. 'not actively suffering' should be the best they can strive for #their masters never anticipated that having someone treat them with anything other than revulsion or detatched indifference would break them #bc they banked on no one showing positive reactions to the monster that destroyed their homes and potentially killed their loved ones #caretaker is just crazy <33
