#dreamling#and we'd have to fuck it up#like use Daniel dream#and make Morpheus Dream the one who helped Hob become the best#and he then he dies#and it's tragic and we all cry#and it not a happy ending but it's so beautifully written that it devastates us as we re-read it and it becomes a fandom favorite#prompt for the taking my loves#I am too busy with the post-letters fic to write this#I have read a pacific rim au for every fandom I've ever loved except for supernatural#and we all know why that is#okay#so at some point i need to collect all my favorite pacific rim AUs#there have been so many good ones#which one of you have has a pacific rim hyper fixation. raise your hand#jk but if anyone wants to yell about this#I'm too anxious to do the discord thing#just dm me <3

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.
#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME#there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing#and the writing is what i need to be doing#writeblr#this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to#edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol#i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!!#my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means#i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her)#hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong#i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet.#i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse#i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!!#i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO#i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness#and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it#im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us#i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer#and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art.#i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work#even if it means being miserable#but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

Sometimes I think about how 999 has Hongou live at the end while the rest of Cradle dies by his hand… Like, he is a vile person. Zero, the people explicitly trying to get revenge on him for Akane's murder, they left him alive. Vulnerable and in the trunk of a car driven by people who hate him, sure, but still alive, even knowing that he'd never regret his actions!!! He showed us that he wouldn't!! Zero gave him the MISSION to confess to his crimes or else deal with the Nonary Game, and he refused to confess, and killed people to avoid the crimes coming to light!!! He decided that he'd rather dig himself deeper than ever repent!!! And then Zero forces him to have his crimes exposed anyways. While ALIVE. While having the blood of the people he killed on his hands, with Zero avoiding getting her hands dirty.
#zero escape#zero escape spoilers#999 spoilers#999#gentarou hongou#ace 999#and like...#compare to ztd's ending question i guess. are you going to let the person who did this to you live?#even if it never happened in this timeline?#but in 999 the entire game puts hongou in a position where he ends up murdering MORE people. so yeah.#the narrative could've killed him easily and we'd all have gone ''yeah this is fair'' but instead he has to LIVE. WITH EVERYONE KNOWING IT#fucking WILD. drag this man through the mud some more (cheering)

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.
"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak
"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.
"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.
Am Yisrael Chai
#abby speaks#that fucking NYT article made me rage so much#needed to get this out#if this somehow makes you pissed at me go ahead the unfollow button is right there#I have always said that Palestinians deserve a state and I have always believed that Israel has a right to exist#the lack of knowledge at these “protests” shocks me - people don't know which river or which sea; they don't know about the hostages#free gaza from hamas#we are allowed to mourn the “protests” started before we'd even had a chance to.#I will never ever forgive or forget the people that have made mourning still feel impossible#I am not about to sit here and say that the Israeli government is blameless#however if you didn't know that 1000s of Israeli have spent the past year protesting against Netenyahu's right wing government shut up#we need actual solutions; neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere#and you guys need to start calling out the antisemitism in your movement#I have my doubts on that actually happening and you'll never see me donate to a lot of these causes again#the goy left has lost my respect and my trust and now it only has my side-eye#sorry for the rant in the tags it's been an exhausting few months

me: I do not really understand the hardcore insistence of some Mohg fans/simps that he could not or must not have done any sexual-incestous crime! Not only it is a reasonable version, but also extremely interesting and intriguing to explore how not all victims of oppressive system are good people! Soulsborne is super fitting for fucked up themes and characters, any Mohg is valid and fun including the darkest you can get, right? Extremely messed-up interpretations of Mohg don't THREATEN other fans in any way shape or form!
fandom clowns: *passively-aggressively shun Mohg fans from the circles, attack Fromsoft for """homophobia""" (wtf), confuse acknowledging the event with enjoying the event, will label Mohg fans as insensitive or danger to real SO/incest victims, fear Mohg as an awful scary taboo to bring up in memes compilations or fanart that could obliterate all fun despite him being part of the canon, demand blacklisting anything about him in their clown Discord servers thus making lore chats weird, shame or block people with flattering interpretations for MeDiA iLiTeRaCy uwu, treat hating Mohg as a moral act rather than personal stance and generally cause a lot of hostility in the fandom, ALL because whereas seeing Mohg's SO as canon they then got mad at this canon instead of either swallowing it or move onto another videogame free of this theme*
me:
me: Nevermind, this fandom is chronically incapable of handling the dark themes and think the fandom owes them sanitised experience.
#elden ring#mohg lord of blood#disco horse#like yeah no shit mohg fans have to fight for him instead of just rolling with different interpretations..#if fandom clowns consistently make the fucked up interpretation a fuel for moral quest#it kind of reminds me why I always feel the need to argue against creep Gehrman interpretations#he tho falls more on 'there is counter-evidence in canon' territory rather than 'he is up for interpretation' territory..#but there is shared sentiment of 'we'd let you have your own interpretation of you stopped HURTING fans because of it'#'well misogyny/SO is triggering don't you know?!' then engage with the story that does NOT include these themes!#instead of trying to repurpose FANDOM into your safe space and pretend like this is a good thing to do!#soulsborne is NOT your cottagecore silly modern au memes safe space bubble! it THRIVES on fucked up shit!#incest SO Mohg is very real and beliveable and offers really dark and mature discussions!#instead of complains about how mean fans won't hide him from you already and shunning them#how fandom is okay with discussing all the war crimes but this one is a taboo?#sorry for being so negative recently a lot been on my mind these days#I think my hatred for any form of purity wank is going to give me Frenzy attack sooner or later due to sheer intensity

We all know about the fuss around Pluto, how many decry its "demotion" to a dwarf planet, and how it's still an honorary planet in the hearts of many, and I totally get it, but I don't think any of you out there are taking it far enough.
What about the rest of the so-called "dwarf" planets, huh? where's their justice? what about Ceres? Haumea? Makemake? Eris? fucking Quaoar?! why have just eight planets when you can have 18?! Why only invite Pluto to the party if you're already gonna expand the guest's list?!
you know what should be "demoted"? fucking Phobos and Deimos, the two "moons" of Mars. these two motherfuckers are proof that the barrier-to-entry for moons is too low. they're barely visible, they don't effect mars in any meaningful way, they aren't even round since they aren't big enough to round themselves under their own gravity, and one of them isn't even in a stable orbit of Mars! Phobos is gonna get ripped apart by mars' gravity in just a few dozen million years!
the concept of a "Dwarf Moon" is too good for them. they should be called, like, sateloids or something. Lunoids at most. fuck em
#all of this is a joke btw#I know why Dwarf Planets are defined separately from the rest of the solar system#but tbf we as a society are sleeping on them hard#if Pluto was discovered after the concept of a dwarf planet was defined#we wouldn't even know it existed#which is a shame because it's a fucking Baller!#you see those close up images we got?!#That Data About It?!#Fucking Sick!#cool and interesting as fuck!#but nobody'd care enough to know if we'd found it after coming up the idea of Dwarf Planets#imagine all the cool & interesting shit out in the Kuiper that'd be common knowledge#if they got the same attention pluto did for being 'The Ninth Planet'!!!!!#also fuck phobos and Deimos#we gotta come up with subcategories for moons fr#bc as it stands right now#a second earth orbiting jupiter#and a mcdonald's-sized boulder orbiting mercury shaped roughly llke mitt romney's dog#would be the same type of celestial object under our classifications#and I feel like there are some SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES THERE#like the only thing they'd have in common is orbiting a planet the way a planet orbits a star

The more I think about it the more unfair it feels that Zenos dies at the end of this. I'm like.....7-10? Quests away from "endwalker" and there is so much we don't know. Why did he dream of the end of Amaurot? Emet-selch experimented on him - why was that never touched upon again once it had been mentioned? What did he do? Why? Zenos can teleport???? Switch bodies? What was all that even for? Zenos yae galvus youre making me insane and I'm tearing my hair out of my head
#like did I MISS SOMETHING? Is there a quest chain I've missed doing?????????#He's so good but if these things are not explained at least in part I'll be so disappointed.#and i most definitely don't see zenos doing a lore dump about himself (i love his monologuing but that would be so fucking boring)#agnes ffxiv adventures#Zenos yae Galvus#endwalker spoilers#let me explain myself btw a zenos lore dumb from zenos mouth would not be boring all in itself!#( tbh id love nothing more than more zenos pov - he would be such an interesting character to hear the inner monologues of.)#HOWEVER!!:#what I mean is that if that's all we'd be getting...#...I'd be sorely disappointed#( for the first time while playing this game. There have been story beats that have made me sigh but nothing's been disappointing. )#( like genuine soul crushing levels of disappointment because he's a central character and he deserves that much - and i'd expect more -#from the writers who really seem to care. But If you don't respect your characters what kinda story are you writing in the first place?)#TLDR shut up Agnes: I expect more from the writers and it would be such a let down to be left hanging like this.#Zenos

my top controversial Zim headcanon is that Zim actually performs absurdly well at skool because
1. he's a perfectionist with a compulsive reaction to ANY system of scoring
2. I 100% believe test scores are this guy's forte because he had to become an Invader SOMEHOW and he sure as hell wasn't passing based on the practical
3. He has hyper-advanced alien AI to do his homework for him. like come on.
meanwhile Dib is really only scraping by on raw intelligence and the inherent educational advantage of having a mad scientist father. He doesn't have TIME to study, there's an evil alien he has to stalk and besides, you know what's better than a high school diploma? The Nobel Peace Prize for proving the existence of extraterrestrial life.
#invader zim#zim#dib#zadp#iz posting#natterings#not actually my top controversial headcanon but i believe in working your way up to the cancelable stuff#anyway dib may or may not get more serious with it as he gets older#but at twelve years old i do not believe for a minute this kid gives a fuck about grades handed to him by stupid people#hes probably doing pretty okay at math and any sciences but i dont even want to IMAGINE how he performs on say#literature#he doesnt have time to read a whole BOOK hes trying to save the world here#though naturally if anyone pointed out to him that hey isnt it fucked up the literal alien is doing better in human subjects than you#we'd see a turn around REAL fast#that or hed just spend all his time trying to prove that zims been cheating which#yeah not likely to get him very far

so about the new ishmael ego
I like her. I could say more but that would be another post. Look at the background. This part specifically.
There's a private beach roped off here. It looks pristine compared to the polluted waters Ishmael's boat is in. Hell, the water is green over here.
Makes me wonder if sections of the lake are roped off for nest-dwellers only. And these beaches are kept clean, meanwhile on the other side of the ropes, the beach seems to be an industrial waste dumping ground.
#limbus company#i live near the great lakes so in the summer we'd go to lake michigan a lot and. the people who own private beaches do rope them off.#and would also dump their trash on the public beach#and even when they put trash cans on the beach the people who had private beaches would dump so much that they'd usually be overflowing#IF YOU'RE RICH ENOUGH TO OWN A PRIVATE BEACH USE YOUR OWN TRASH CAN#especially if you're going to yell at any children who go a foot past your fucking “private property no trespassing” sign#i harbor a great deal of spite for people who own beach houses or lake houses#like yeah i bet you have a second house that you never shut up about. i get it you have money.#... i think these random unrelated rambles in the tags are just a feature of my original posts now

Honestly, if apes ever did somehow gain human level intelligence IRL and want to take over as the dominant species, I'd be like, "Y'know what, y'all go on ahead, be my guest" 😂
#Planet of the Apes#Rise of the Planet of the Apes#humans have fucked a lot of stuff up at this point the apes would probably run things better than we currently are#as long as we'd all get along I'd be totally fine with it

I'm in shambles. I'm dying everywhere. I don't even know where to begin with my thoughts I'm FLOORED. Lunar sounding, just for a moment, so relieved that they'd killed Eclipse and it just all crumbles the moment they realize that Earth is horrified with what they've done. They way they so meekly asked Solar if they're a bad person. Holy shit. whadda hell. this is so messed up and I am all here for it.
#xero says things#eclipse is /likely/ gunna come back too#and although i'm /terribly/ curious how that's gunna turn out-#-('how many times do u have to be brought back before you lose all of urself' anima sola lunar style type stuff)-#-i'm more insanely fucked up abt lunar bc like. fuck dude#have we ever heard them /cry/ before this?#we'd heard them get startled and wail#but. i don't think we've ever heard them truly /cry./#im so. aoaauahaggghh#sun and moon show#lunar and earth show#tsams#tlaes#sams spoilers#laes spoilers#tsams spoilers#tlaes spoilers#lunar

oh no not people falling for propaganda abt the shooter's alleged politics and handwringing about violence when this one guy and his action have done more to bring people together against the ultra rich ruling class and make them fear working class power than any number of peaceful actions and lukewarm philosophizing in the past 5 years

i think about the whole "love that" exchange a lot.
#i think i already have a post about this somewhere im just. rotating it#they realize they just kinda revealed a bit too much in front of Trent Crimm (Formerly) The Independent#and he does the whole biting wind-up to a question you know is going to be sharp as hell. bringing in that heat#and rebecca just. doesn't even try to get out of it#is she taking a leap of faith? is she just tired of spinning a whole yarn? testing him? giving him a chance?#and his response is just. simple. a real smile--almost conspiratorial and they're both in on the joke--and 'love that.'#sincere and almost warm. love that. bc that's what he actually thinks. not asking what he thinks he should#what he thinks the crowd wants to hear. but just. god her ex husband is a dickhead. absolutely you should try to fuck him over. love that#and rebecca all but beaming at him in response#i wish we'd gotten more of their dynamic tbh. i think that interaction probably helped soothe any anxieties she had about the whole thing#i think the next time we really see them interact is just the girl talk thing#where she's gleefully including him on the gossip and he's SO fucking pleased to get a good grade in girl talk something both normal to w#but like them developing an almost easy banter Fast. please. and like. him letting himself be. himself. in front of other people#not just ted. and rebecca GETS that if anyone gets getting flayed by the lasso effect it's her#so like. IDK MAN I JUST THINK THEY SHOULD BOND#also keeley. DEFINITELY keeley. all three of them. FUCK#trent crimm#rebecca welton#gertspeak#god. him being so pleased about the girl talk comment too. lives in my brain rent free#rebecca or keeley pays him a genuine but offhand compliment and he (and clearly completely unconsciously) just#fully does a pleased little wiggle in his seat. and they're like hmmmm
