Reading the webtoon and…

Does this imply that Kim Dokja also tried to write a questionnaire for her to fill in since she wouldn’t speak to him, that either he 1) never gave her in the end (especially if he couldn’t find her after she was released) or 2) gave it to her and she STILL refused to answer?

Because that is so so so so awful. It was already bad but if he tried so many ways to get her to speak and she still gave him no response, regardless of her reasoning… isn’t that still directly choosing to cut herself fully out of his life? Why in the hell did she lie for his sake and allow him to visit her if she wanted to never speak to him again?

I know everyone claims Kim Dokja is just like her in sacrificing himself for loved ones, but at least he tries his best to stay with them and to keep them in his life. He still chooses sacrifice, but it’s not because he intends to never return. He always returns (even if much later than planned).

The only time this differs is with 51%, when he STILL tried his best to stay with them - at least as much as he could.

I sometimes like Lee Sookyung, but I am mostly still SO mad at her for completely ignoring her child since he was 8 years old. Especially when he must have looked like shit any number of times from being mistreated and bullied by family, friends, army, employers.

But maybe that’s just the fragment in me being eternally pissed with her. She DOES love him, but like he says in the webtoon in this chapter - maybe such truths are painful enough to be false anyways, because they’re just SUCH bullshit. That’s not how affection should work, if you actually care about someone and want them to be happy.

#RAWWRGHHH I WANT TO SHAKE HER SO MUCH #LOOK AFTER YOUR KID #and if you can’t do that because of circumstances at least ACKNOWLEDGE HIM #yes I do know she cared and it’s just that she mistakenly believes he’s better off this way without her but like #then WHY does she still insert herself back into his life when he’s finally stopped trying to get her to speak?#yes yes others have great analyses on her and their relationship and I usually agree with their logic but it’s still. So. Hard. to like her #but then I remember that this story was the little Dream’s wishful thinking to cope back then on his own #and so maybe in his world Lee Sookyung never ever would speak to him again #he just wished she would so he wrote it down as happening for This older version of him #and that’s somehow worse because like #even in the story where he got her to speak to him again she still won’t speak so he has to force the words out some way (via outer god)#and if that’s true then it’s still just his interpretation of her actions and choices #and not her own since she never told him #so like ARGGHHH #but I like to believe that characters have autonomy despite their respective author’s efforts in documenting them #so she still chose to speak all of this too and he would have accurately interpreted her this way because she controls what she says #even if he (little Dream Kim Dokja) is the one writing it down as wish fulfilment fix-it fic #a fix-it for himself and not just for the other people he loves #😭😭😭#orv #orv spoilers #omniscient reader’s viewpoint #lee sookyung #kim dokja

Person 1: Not to complain about capitalism again and obv wear sunscreen, but most skin care products really just seem like snake oil.

Person 2 (there is somehow ALWAYS a person 2): So true! People go so overboard! You really only need about 20 products! Here's a 50 part thread explaining my daily process!

ANNIVERSARY GROOVY BOYBAND! THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD, I also love the hades reference with idia! Ik ur probably really swamped with the book 7 brain rot but I wanted to know ur thoughts. I also wanted to mention that I am so card deprived I feel like I need a replacement event to take tsumderlands place

AUGH NO I LOVE THEM. 😭 UGH now I really have to think about if I want to try pulling for Grim again. dangit. heck. I already got his little pedestal to add my guest room shrine, but...now I kinda need the boss himself...

also, the implications of it not being an OB thing, Idia can just. Do That? apparently? do you think he ever just sometimes does it by accident? what am I saying, he absolutely sometimes does it by accident.

gosh though. this event has been SO cute in general! I was wondering who'd get the focus for year 5; I could not be happier that the answer is apparently EVERYBODY. :D all the dorms get their own special songs! so many cute little scenes!!! the lowest of stakes bringing out the highest of pettiness in everyone!!!!!! it's excellent.

(also, because I will make literally anything about my diaboys...I know these events are typically sorta, let's say chronologically unmoored with regards to story. but the further implications that this takes place pre-episode 7/Malleus' Big Existential Crisis, and yet...some of these lines?)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twst 5th anniversary #i hope that's the correct tag for filtering purposes #anyway gacha continues to have me in a bind #i have scrambled up enough keys/gems that i could hit the 100 pity mark on ONE pickup #so now i have to choose between grim or silver #with the caveat of course that i might end up not getting either #(or hoping i might magically somehow get another 31 keys to hit 150 on the anniversary medal pickup to trade for masqueralleus)#(this is extremely unlikely but if we don't have hope we have nothing)#uggggh i hate decisions #on the one hand. look at silver's card. just LOOK at it.#and i could absolutely use a void-typed attack card! especially with that duo!#but also my sweet grimbleshanks in his little sparkly blazer...#how can i possibly say no to the boss #i feel like if i had managed either platinum grim or armor sebek that would've decided it for me for collection reasons but NO #the pulls have just been an unmitigated disaster all around #the way this has been going i'm going to go all in on one of them and come out with yet another dorm trey #and then five minutes later they'll announce white rabbit rerun with froufrou fluffy bunnies leona and malleus #truly...f2p mobage is suffering #i had also kinda been thinking if i didn't get anything i might buy that malleus figure once it went up for preorder...#(i do not allow myself to spend money on gacha because. i know myself. but i will buy ALL the overpriced merch)#i forgot just how STUPID overpriced those figures are though #it is a really nice figure though...and it'll only be worse on the secondhand market...#i mustn't. i won't. but also.#hey twst feel free to make this up to me by giving me that fluffy bunny malleus after all okay

It’s not that I don’t LIKE the Fandom Popular Pairings, it’s that I find the assumption that everyone ships them and the general all-consuming nature of said pairings to be kinda exhausting,

#the funny thing about me getting into pro////////seka is that i can FINALLY articulate this #because it somehow feels worse than in any other fandom I’ve been into #that said I’ve been thinking about this for a while #also hi. if you’re here to throw some ‘have some originality’ comment please don’t that’s not the fucking point.#it’s not ‘they suck because they’re unoriginal’ it’s ‘it’s very frustrating to feel mildly positive to neutral #about a ship everyone keeps shoving down your throat’#people can be like this with any and all ships. it’s just that the popular ones tend to have this attitude be totally inescapable

Please guys go read Software Entropy by @clubsheartsspades (I hope you don’t mind the tag!)

It literally destroyed me. I forced my sister to read it and it destroyed her too. I just had to draw something for it because I couldn’t get this quote out of my head, but I couldn’t possibly do the scene justice in the same way as in the fanfiction so you need to go read it yourself

#you go into it thinking oh it can’t be that bad I’m not that affected by sad media #then it is that bad #and worse #and oh my god im only halfway through #and you remember there is no happy ending for them and somehow you forgot and wished things would start getting better #but you already know how this story ends #I need to reread it because I feel like I missed a lot of symbolism the first go because of how emotionally distressed I was #this persons work is so good #I read one of their other fanfics before leaving only rust behind I think #and it was also very good it was very cute #I don’t think I finished it because I’m not much of a reader but I think I’ll go back to it and the other one they wrote too #I swear these two little robots make me miserable #art #my art #comic #rain world #five pebbles #looks to the moon #rw fp #rw lttm #rw moon #rw fanfic #fanfiction

i hate you generative "ai", i hate you "ai" chat-bot that never understands a question and keeps you in a loop without connecting you to a representative, i hate you "ai" replacements for normal interactions and behavior, i hate you "ai" that's been made by techbros with the intent to make more money instead of actually helping people and systems that could benefit from the technology

#sjonnie.text #im so tired #so so so tired #stop trying to give me an 'ai' summary stop trying to make me use your stupid fucking chatbot that somehow WORKS WORSE than the ones you had #before!#like can we talk about how the chatbots from before 2022 worked WAY better ?? because they weren't fed a bunch of bullshit information??#and because a group of humans had to put actual care into the algorithm #like it's the same idea! they just.#ugh #anti ai #ai free #anti capitalism

I was crying from pain at the emergency room and the nurses were bitching about me not dying so they couldn’t help right away even if I kept passing out and had been there for a long time, this sweet old Russian lady who was also admitted since earlier stood up and walked next to me and kept comforting me and asking how I was holding up, she kept checking in on me and being so sweet and going around asking if everyone was doing ok or just distracting family members of patients with nice conversations. She called out the doctors and nurses for not caring, she sat next to me and kept making sure I was ok and then gave me her phone number when she got discharged so I’d follow up with her. Honestly my day coulda been hell today but this one lady made it so bearable it’s not going to be remembered as a bad horrible traumatizing time, I got to meet an actual angel and I’m so happy about it.

#pix habla #kindness really goes a long way guys #I’m in my bed crying about this lady #I didn’t know her but that didn’t matter to her #I hope she’s always healthy and blessed #she also xD managed to get the nurses to give her a turkey sandwich after making her wait for so many hours what a legend #I’m not shit talking about medical staff btw I know it’s a hard job #but it got ridiculous the moment my dad got desperate because I was passing out and throwing up foam #and the nurse scolded him and scolded me while I cried about being in pain even though I kept apologizing #the emergency room guard also gave me shit for being on the floor trying not to pass out #like idk the lack of humanity was just 🧍‍♂️ so much worse than usual #but then I met this lady and she kept me company and kept me distracted from it all #she even got some of the nurses to be nicer and in a better mood somehow #I know it’s not an easy job ;; but compassion and kindness they go a long way #and that’s so important #Alissa you’re my cat scan Twinsie for life #tw hospital #I was high on morphine telling my friends about her and telling her they thought she was so sweet and she was so happy about it #augh #she blew me a kiss when she left too 😭#guys I swear … I met an angel #like #what else could she have been #(๑′̥̥̥▵‵̥̥̥ ૂ๑) ok ill shut up now im just really emotional about her forever

My brain malfunctioned and I was digging in MTMTE the whole day, forgot to blink, kicked pillow 8 times and was talking with my reflection 6 times

Ended up with 60+ screenshots of nerds being socially awkward/abnormal/straightforward because we use books to talk, not people, silly, cool or sweet, or just facts ahah

#Man I remembered again how much I love Mega and Rodimus duo I wonder how they would react to each other #If they met as their younger versions untouched by war #Swerve literally can quote every of Blurr's races #Cried again when Ratchet left his words are some poetry that doesn't need to sound like one #Whirl Cyclonus and Tailgate ? EHEHEH #Scavengers are unhinged hobos ahaha #I want to put them in one story with Sixshot and Terrorcons #NICKEL MY SWEET GIRL #Looked at Sunder and thought of how damn well he would look if to make him even more and scarier #First Aid acting immediately and giving orders what to do in emergency situation? Yes please #Functions is universe with their “you are our eyes” plot twist YESSS #Functionists giving Rung a fake wheel to make at least a little sense of him and call him ornament? Pfffht #SWERVE IS SO F**KING COOL WITH THIS WHOLE HOLOMATTER ABILITY #Yeah no I hate Getaway.#Senator Shockwave giving an order to stop forced change of brain until two in charge agree on this?#And this way saving Megatron #Whirl saving Megatron because functionists are WORSE #Functionists invented empurata and all universities #Trailbracker... Would have loved to see more of him and Rodimus. His attempt to save him hit hard #Rung having a claustrophobia? Matter of fact I saw no angst of him that I would have found angsty XDD Somehow him getting forgotten #is the worst I saw #Necrobot is a crush. Hear me out he is a crush and very cool. I wish he had more time with Nightbeat.

Elidibus informing Emet of a pivot in their plans in the most messed up way he can manage.

#ffxiv #sketch #emet selch #elidibus #zenos yae galvus #also known as Elidibus doing his habitual grilling of Emet and his attachment problems #aka my brains way of why he and elidibus never were in the same room back in StB #with the way I write emet and zenos' relationship #it would be bad enough for him to see the wrong soul in his body #and even worse that the being your coworker is piloting his your great grandson's corpse #this also just gives me the mental image of Emet having an aneurysm finding out zenos is somehow still alive after HE dies #because i am simply a strange person on the boat of despite being his “experiment”#the resonant was an outlier- and he was not originally supposed to become ascian-like #emet thinking zenos finally got his peace and is in the aetherial sea->zenos alive and getting dragged around by fandini instead

I appreciate so so much that Maomao continues to visit Xiaolan after she's transferred to the Jade palace. It would've been so easy from a narrative stand-point to just have Maomao go "Man good riddance" about her chatty barely-friend from "back then", but no.

Not only does she continue to speak to Xiaolan, she uses her as an informant of sorts, because Maomao recognizes just how much a person like Xiaolan helps on that front. And she's reoccuring and not forgotten by Maomao Or the narrative as a whole!

#kusuriya no hitorigoto #the apothecary diaries #Yeah yeah at this point not falling victim to pitting women against each other isn't like #Revolutionary or anything #But it's still nice to see where someone who Seems like such an obvious one-appearance-throwaway actually sticks around #And she's super sweet!#Like a character like Xiaolan in a worse piece of literature could've easily just had her be an annoying chatterbox one off that Maomao #doesn't need because she's Smarter Than That Hurdur #Idonno it's something I appreciate #And somehow we're still not far enough in feminism to not be weird about women who aren't objectively cool or whatever #So yknow #We take what we can get ig #Manda's Maomao simpage
