#unrelated to my last post#also this is gonna be an unpopular opinion#but i’ve honestly made my peace with how taylor approaches her public politics#(i’ve said this before too)#i may sound like a cupcake right now#but i don’t have the energy to bang my head against a wall when i know no matter what i do the wall won’t break#and that’s just the harsh truth#i have trust that she is a good person and her actions show that and it is enough for me#she’s not interested in being a political figure or representative and just wants to encourage people to vote#and will speak up during elections or during pride month etc#and ofc you can make the argument that she’s so influential so she should be and i agree but also! it’s her choice!#she is political in her private her life and she doesn’t owe her politics publicly#people should focus more on actual politicians and presidents and world leaders whose actual job it is#arshia talks

Second-guessing
#been overthinking all day today and needed to draw how it feels lately#a bit of a vent ahead#it’s gotten really lonely and almost alienating in a way#and the fandom seems so vastly different#and in a way I dont really feel ok in#i do take the steps to avoid anything that i don’t want to see#but it just feels like what i do is pointless#like what i draw is pointless#i know the more platonic/familial themes in my art will always be overshadowed#but its been a harsh truth ive been hit with#and it’s kind of heartbreaking#i’m forever grateful for the reminders of how my art is like a breath of fresh air#but man is it difficult to not just quit entirely#because it always falls back to: why am I doing this? what’s the point?#i’m sorry I feel like such a whiny loser when I talk about things like this#it’s all jumbled and all over the place but to put it simply it’s been super lonely#i just needed to say something before it completely boiled over#im sorry again

Mystic Flour Cookie - Pure Vanilla Cookie Burning Spice Cookie - Hollyberry Cookie Shadow Milk Cookie - White Lily Cookie Eternal Sugar Cookie - Golden Cheese Cookie Silent Salt Cookie - Dark Cacao Cookie
PLEASE tell me you guys see the parallels.
#Like. Flour and Vanilla both have closed eyes are healers and have yellow/white vibes#Spice and Hollyberry are both passionate and get bored easily#DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SHADOW MILK AND WHITE LILY PARALLELS.#(They're both wizards and both got corrupted over harsh truths. There's more but then this whole thing would just be rambling about them)#The other two we don't know much about yet but like. There's enough to make an educated guess.#What is Eternal Sugar's soul jam half? Sloth. What did Golden Cheese do? Hold her entire kingdom in statis for YEARS.#And Silent Salt and Dark Cacao are the two I've got the least parallels for so far but like#Look at them. Knight theme. And I've got a whole rambling for what I think Silent Salt and White Lily's soul jam means BUT#That's enough for now#cookie run kingdom#beast yeast#pure vanilla cookie#mystic flour cookie#hollyberry cookie#burning spice cookie#white lily cookie#shadow milk cookie#eternal sugar cookie#golden cheese cookie#dark cacao cookie#silent salt cookie#crk theory#THE PARALLELS

i think a lot of people (on youtube comments) forget that "the view from halfway down" is BOJACK'S dying mind projection. all of the depressive words about life and death are there to show the inner world and views of bojack himself, not to reflect the objective reality. ESPECIALLY "there is no other side. this is it."
#i know that it's up to fans to interpret the show#but keeping in mind everything we've seen in the whole show i don't think the creators have the same view on death as bojack#and it looks this dark and depressive and empty only to show how dark and depressive and empty it is in bojack's heart#all the people who call bojack “the most depressive cartoon ever” take its darkest quotes as the “harsh truth about life”#but not as ugly thoughts created by tortured mind infected with depression#the reaction to “the view from halfway down” really shows it. it shows all the people that prone to the annoying voice of their depression#i was thinking why it makes me mad#and maybe because it shows how people take the story as it is and not as the author's call to think about the story yourself and analyze it#i don't know what waits for us after we die. and maybe herb is right and “this is it”#but i will not think about death the certain way just because a show very passionately said to me “everything will be bad”#(and not because the authors think so but because the story requires it lol)#bojack netflix#bojack#bojack horseman

nie huaisang may say "i don't know" all the time but the person who Really doesn't know or even want to know is lan xichen. thanks for coming to my tedtalk
#keri chats#mdzs spoilers#mo dao zu shi#nie huaisang#lan xichen#these two have such an underexplored dynamic... betrayal in a form so subtle yet piercing by the end it's sickening#nhs goes idk idk!! all the time but he DOES k things. he does know!! he just pretends he doesn't!#when lxc calmly admits that he doesn't know stuff he's being honest. THIS is the real guy who dk and doesn't WANT to find out#nhs is playing up a dumb incompetent loser image to gather intel and use it to quietly indirectly steer things the way he wants#lxc thinks of himself as just but he 1) delays decisions until he has All Possible Info 2) can't bear harsh truths abt people he cares abt#which ends up clouding his judgment and making him the one who's actually in the dark#mdzs#danmei

About your post regarding the union talking about the CC’s intention :
First like you said yourself, and at least from what I’m aware (and I hope it is the case), no CCs have actively encouraged harassment against anyone involved in this.
Now, I’m assuming what the union is referring to are statement such as
-Aypierre who has tweeted against doxxing (not a bad thing obviously) and generally defended Quackity. Obviously he isn’t encouraging harassment intentionally at all, but fact is that by doing so it fueled a lot of hate against the admins and also french fans who speak in favor of them.
-Quackity’s streams in which he has talked multiplie time about « people with bad intentions », people who wanted to see the downfall of the server etc. Again no intent to directly encourage harassment but this still lead to a lot of hate being thrown the admins way.
In both cases, the union isn’t saying that they’ve actively tried to fuel the hate, just that CCs should be mindful of what they say and how they word it, because when you have a big community the consequences can be and have been quite intense. Of course CCs aren’t guilty by proxy of the bad behaviour from their fans, the union is just saying that they should be careful with their influence. (Ideally this applies to everyone, not just influencers, but the bigger your reach is, the more careful you have to be)
I’m sorry this is long, and I hope this could clear things up a bit ✌️
As much as I wish I could agree with you, the union really isn't just gently advising CCs to be careful with what they say.
You say that the union doesn't claim that they've actively tried to fuel hate, and yeah sure maybe they aren't saying that about Quackity, but the entire reason I made that last post was because their wording did actually just straight up imply that some unnamed CCs have actively tried to fuel hate. That was the entire issue.
They also made no mention of CCs or Quackity "needing to be mindful of what they say;" in fact they didn't really offer any constructive suggestions of the sort that could be interpreted in that way whatsoever. The only thing they told them to do was apologise, clearly implying that they believe Quackity and the unnamed CCs are to a certain extent at fault for the harassment.
#you and i most certainly have two very different interpretations of the post; one much more favourable towards the union than the other.#while i accept that difference in opinion is not inherently wrong nor should it need to be fixed in every situation#i do encourage you to reread the post at hand and realise the bias that you have unknowningly pushed into your interpretation of the words.#I'm trying to be polite and not rude; forgive me if i come across as blunt or harsh ❤️ i am never striving to upset anyone#just simply to be clear consise and truthful#qsmp#admingate#qadmin situation

when ppl get too caught up in the accuracy of situations in fanfiction or if things are super realistic or as they should/would be in real life etc etc im like. my tumblr user in christ. it's fanfiction.
#ff writers don't get paid to put hollywood level research into their stories lol#also keep in mind ff writers don't have professional editors either#ALSO i've read a lot of published books and watched massive scale high budget production tv shows/movies that have put way less#effort into researching n making sure things are cohesive n legit compared to some fanfics i've read#js thinking ab a m00tie who had an anon come for her for something like this n i'm still pissed ab it#just enjoy the fic you're getting to read for free#like obv i think realism makes for a great story and is part of what good writing entails#but?? it's ok to bend the rules in some places?? it's a STORY#that's like getting pissed at a fantasy book for having dragons cuz they don't exist irl#just say u have a bad imagination n go#the author's pen is the will of the world in the story perioddd#either accept them or dont. but don't make fun of or criticize authors if you're not fuckin w it when ur just sittin behind a keyboard#also sometimes i just wanna read stories that don't remind me of the harsh truths of reality lmfao like get outtaaa heeerreee#just writer things

sorry if idk this but what do you think about Wordgirl now in 2024 do you still like it do you still want to make art or talk about it or are you just done with all of it forever and plus i seen that you haven't made art of it since 2022 so you just done with all of it oh yeah and what about The Magnus Archives + Wordgirl ao3 fic too like is that just going to be and i know that your working on 2 au's now just wanting to know that's all
My interests tend to come in intense bursts and then fade. Unless something like, big happens like it gets a reboot its unlikely I'll be coming back to it anytime soon. As for the fic I don't have any current plans to finish it unfortunately.
#Its so shocking whenever anybody mentions that fic to me#like its just such a specific combo of interests how are there this many people interested in it...#I have some fragments of unfinished chapters for it laying around but I was struggling to get them to work#and I definitely dont have the motivation to finish them now#If youre curious the chapters were going to be Slaughter avatar miss Power and Web avatar Mr Big#and possibly Flesh avatar Butcher but I never got around to starting that one#The Miss Power chapter was basically going to be about her having kind of lost her thread#I wanted to leave a lot of ambiguity as to what happened with her home planet#but she hadnt been in contact with them for agessssss and her radio is damaged and her ship is in bad shape#the chapter was just going to be her being like 'pfff I dont interpersonal connection Im doing great out here. Murdering. All on my own'#Well she has her little squirl thing but she treats him like an animal#mr giggle cheeks or whatever#anyway I wanted it to imply that whatever happened her bloodthirst was destroying her#The Mr Big chapter was from Lesley's perspective#She would have been one in a long long line of assistants that Mr Big went through like candy#Lesley is his favorite though because. while she is terrified of him. shes still willing to push him. to be honest with him#but she also knows exactly when to step off. when to lie to appease him#( its always a tossup as to whether he wants a sweet lie or the harsh truth that day. He can always tell either way#its a gamble he does to be cruel. She always picks right though. or maybe he's more lenient with her than he should be)#He likes that she knows exactly how to push him without ever stepping over the line#He likes that her guilt and revulsion are slowly eating her up inside but shes too selfish to leave#She likes being special. She likes the idea of ruling the world alongside him#She'll always be second in command but shell be so much higher than everyone else#and shes willing to do anything to get that#Mr big doesnt think shell ever make it that far#but he likes her anyway#shes the one assistant he'll be sad about dying#OK damn apparently I did still have things to say about this old fic DAMN#still not gonna finish it tho. they call me the struggler becaus.e writing is a struggle...

Okay, let's talk about the recent Natuyuu chapter for a little bit ... and something that just moved me to tears ><
let's ignore that the appearance they teased was for the cats and not what I wanted and wished for which's fine I'm fine I knew it was impossible .. yet hoped nonetheless
the chapter was really cute indeed, but I was shocked that the Reiko's pic was gonna be addressed right after the reveal !!! that took me by surprise yet a very happy one to confirm what I was saying back then ...
but before that, the way Natsume started to realize and know for sure that that might've been Reiko by remembering his father was too much for me ...
this chapter was such a good demonstration of how much our little sunshine has grown so much emotionally ... I was tearing up seeing him trying very hard to remember that blurry memory of his father taking him to an amusement park T^T
the boy who forced the memories out of his system so as not be broken down by it .. the same boy who refused to see the only parents' picture he had so that he won't be hurt or cry when he sees them ... who always pretending to be fine talking about his real family .. who ran away from any mention of them that he just purged any faint memory he once had till the point he really forgot everything related to them despite how this act of itself was hurting him deeply ...

this same boy right now is doing his best to remember his own father .. to remember a said precious memory .. he was trying really hard something the past Natsume would never do .. but sadly, all he managed was those blurry images .. he no longer remembers his father's face .. yet he wasn't broken down or sad .. he was actually happy as if he holds something dear to him .. that even if it's blurry, even if he no longer remembers it much ... the fact that it exists no matter how faint it was was enough for him .. he does have such a happy memory inside of him afterall .. he was content by this alone .. not pain or sadness but happy to know it was there ..
I can't say it well enough how much he has grown up now ...


and when by the end he did remember this faint memory very clearly .. he didn't cry or was sad (I sure was tho) No, he was very happy as if he was above the clouds dreaming something nice ... even Madara comment that he was weirdly happy and daydreaming ...
this was just ... how to say it ... it just moved me to tears with happiness ..
and his father ... his father was such a kind loving father which just break my heart even further .... Natsume didn't cry but I cried in his place ... even tho I was also happy and proud of him so much ..
Now to Reiko ...
I really was happy how Midorikawa-sensei proved my point when I said that Natsume lacks the ability to recognize a happy Reiko because he just never seen her like that, so even when that picture was indeed Reiko Natsume's mind was like "a girl that looked like Reiko" ... I won't dig deeper for this since I already did for a bit in a different post.
"if that picture was indeed Reiko, is the reason I didn't recognize her because that was an expression I have never seen before ?? I think that smile perhaps was ...."

the way Midorikawa-sensei let Natsume realize that through his father's memory was clever yet cruel to me .. while also proving that that smile was indeed toward someone she loved (her husband) .. a kind of smile that you show to someone dear to you like the loving smile Natsume's father showed to him in that memory ...
now was the artist her husband ?? or was it a 3rd party who knows both of them, so they only captured the moment ?? in the first place why was her picture in an exorcist auction ?? I guess that the next question that Natsume needs to address now that he confirmed she was indeed Reiko :)
slowly but surely, the grandfather reveal is upon us and I'm here for it and all the pain he will bring with Reiko's full story :)
PS : a funny thought that occurred to me when Natsume was thinking " what kind of person will buy that picture I wonder?" and my mind went "who knows, maybe he will be Yorishima as plot twist" as if that shut-in exorcist will go to auctions or even leave his house for that matter xDD
#natsume yuujinchou#natsuyuu#now back to the long wait ......#-heavy sigh- I'm fine#why isn't it monthly at least ???#I'm scared with any future plot point in the future ...#no matter who will it be next ... I know it will be big and painful or full of emotions ...#now that Natsume is indeed more emotionally strong and stable .. I guess ... now he can face any harsh truth or situations#the kind that no way he could handle it in the past ...#be it about himself ..his family... Natori... Seiji etc etc ...#but I'm just proud of him ... this chapter alone is a good demonstration of his character development of the personal level

does anyone remember in minute 33.15 the slight fear and desperation in johns voice when he says ‘talk to me’. bc i do
#it got me#i wasn’t ready to see johns fear at his lack of agency so clearly#arthur didn’t talk to him for a minute while he gathered his thoughts and he was brought back to their history of arthur weaponising his#attention#even tho it’s not what’s happening here#but it has happened in the past. it has happened in season 4#it has happened with oscar#and i think john is afraid it’s going to happen with this group of people too#but it doesn’t#bc srthur has chosen to trust the knight with the truth about mother darkness#because he’s not hiding from this people. not what he can share#and— while i don’t think he’ll ever share with this company that he’s got half of a god sharing his mind— i don’t think he’ll have to#hide so much as to not be able to answer john#as in the pressure to pretend he’s just your average englishman isn’t as harsh here#in fact i would say he doesn’t give a fuck and cares only to give off a confident and trusting appearance. he can mutter all he wants#malevolent#part 50#rambling

Apparently Apollo hit you with that dodgeball when you came up with the reversed robins au, considering who the first Robin in the new DC cinematic universe is going to be
You got me excited there for a second thinking Duke was getting introduced but nope just damian which I wouldn't really says that's apollo considering I'm betting its more they're not starting off with damian as much as they're skipping to him and every reverse robin au usually starts with damian
#ask#the-dracologist#if they were starting with duke#then apollo hit me#but theyre just skipping to damian which#boooooooo#its the exact same thing the n52 movies did#and like those movies will probably result in weird age swaps#and leaving out 80% of the bats#the sad but harsh truths

𝓘 hate how self-improvement accounts are so obsessed with being skinny.
yes, eat healthier! yes work out! but being skinny doesn’t automatically mean you’re healthy.
take care of your body without being fixated on your appearance. you should aim to be healthy no matter what you look like—that’s real body positivity.
just because you’re skinny doesn’t mean it’s fine to only eat junk food just because you won’t gain weight anyway.
and just because you’re not doesn’t mean you should starve yourself to lose weight.
both are unhealthy in their own ways.
i don’t know, I really realized this last year during that whole “Wonyoung-ism” thing that went viral.
healthy ≠ being skinny.
i could make a much longer more detailed post about this cuz it’s not only the obsession with being skinny but that whole how to get a glow up shit
it’s really sad to watch

After this year, I've learned a lesson.
When someone ghosts me, I know where the door is.
When someone ghosts you, it means they aren't mature enough to have an open, honest, raw and uncomfortable conversation with you.
I've stopped blaming myself when someone ghosts me. I blame them.
Like I said in a few posts that I did; when someone can't have that open, honest, raw, uncomfortable conversation with me... I'm leaving, for good.
I know you made your bed and I made mine. By me leaving and I'm never coming back.

@yokelish reminded me and I can't stop thinking about it again
The Snow Queen's most loyal knight, a boy with a shard of troll's mirror in his eye.
Except that there's no Gerda. There never was a Gerda and there never will be a Gerda. No one will come. And also the troll's mirror might be showing the truth this time.
Or maybe all the Harbingers are like that.
"Perhaps it is fair to say that only those who possess an obsession close to or even exceeding the level of delusion might be willing to join this group."
(from the Funerary Mask description. I do think the mirror stands for something Khaenri'ahn though)
#also something something gnosticism#the world as an illusion#something something certain hindu practices#where you need to first create an illusion of your own to break free from the illusion everyone shares#and in a sense troll's mirror was showing the truth in the original story#just not the whole truth#something something dreams#something something reconciling harsh truths of the world with beautiful illusions#and I know there's tonya#but I'd prefer if she doesn't get to play gerda#no one ever deserves to play gerda#if he's so female-coded he can solve his emotional problems himself#(he sort of deserves to know his sister cares but let's not force her to cross a snow plain and all that)#childe#tartaglia#tsaritsa#fatui#if abyss be thy name I pledge to you my loyalty

genuinely I think the sisterhood of traveling pants series is one of the best of all time and means so much to me dearly. I’m rereading it and remembering how much they deal with love and loss and every messy emotion in between and let each girl be flawed but so deserving of the love and friendship between them. where else did you get a story like than in the early 2000s
#sisterhood of the traveling pants#just rambling#but seriously this story means so much to me#I love each of these girls so much#Carmen Lowell#she is allowed to be big and quick to anger#but she loves and cares so big too#Lena Kaligaris#she is allowed to be scared and shy and standoffish#but also see people#like really see people#and be brave enough to love#Tibby Rollins#Tibby Tomko Rollins#she is mean sometimes and sarcastic and will tell harsh truths#but she also give second chances and changes her mind and always tries to be a better version of herself#and lastly#bridget vreeland#bee vreeland#for the time and I think even know#she’s an excellent representation of a character with bpd#she is strong and vibrant and brave and wild#but she also hits the bottom just as hard#and they love her anyway#I just love these imperfect girls so much
