#anti aging treat

found a baby yaku amidst the Sketchbook-glitch-corruption wreckage..... wondering if he flipped skin tones between black and red and everything in between until he saw his to-be-grandparents (and started mimicking THEIR skin tone....... )

never gonna be over ghilan'nain. she's an amoral artist using the flesh as her chosen medium. she's piloting her dead wife's torso centaur style. which is such a tasty glimpse of the madness of her grief. my god. ghilan'nain was the most sensitive of the evanuris, and she couldn't make halla now. she's been imprisoned for millennia in a blighted palace, trickling horrors from a wound in the veil, a wound of curiosity and arrogance, watching her family all become mortal and perish one by one as their archdemons die. so she took the mortification of flesh literally. she is a workaholic who denies her own grief and buries herself in her great work: crafting godawful little freaks in the name of science. the world she lived in is gone entirely, and none but she and elgar'nan and their jailer remember it, and she doesn't miss it, and she doesn't want to go back. andruil raised her up to godhood (delusional) because she was so good at making fucked up guys for her to kill. but the mother of halla couldn't make the halla now, and she still uses their iconography as her symbol. the 'void' armor drove andruil mad, and ghilan'nain kept it and experimented with it and put it in her own body and in her family's bodies and their dragons and their enemies and their subjects and seeded it into the earth to grow her strange bitter fruits, a labor of love. the evanuris' bodies were made from lyrium, the blood of titans; the blight's song is the screams of the titans they killed to make their lyrium bodies, which she then blighted! on purpose! wounds seeping into wounds. it's what got them locked away, why they murdered mythal, but it is pure creation, possibility, it is so easy to mould, and she used it to graft her body onto andruil's headless legless corpse and elgar'nan -- her forever roommate last of her kin god of tyranny -- is so very tender with her. and he is so so so very tender with her. she has a mouth in one eye. sometimes she is a big head in the clouds. she didn't need to do the torso thing at all because she can inexplicably float. she's gonna use me for parts.

Started working on a Rookanis playlist bc yes

I only have a few songs on there rn but I must subject someone to it

The Chase Petra song I have on there is very much a Rook song sorta giving Lucanis insight into Rooks feelings and regrets

So is v much a mix of what applies to one or the other or both

While I get the sentiment of not trusting haters, I can’t trust splinter fans who absolutely adore him.

Yeah we can acknowledge he was a young adult who ended up in a very obscure and difficult situation, we can also acknowledge that doesn’t excuse his neglect and unavailability with his own children.

“Oh but splinter went through this!” or “splinter had to deal with that!” cool, I don’t give a crap I wouldn’t have left children - mutated turtles or otherwise - trying to figure out who they are, how to live, if they’re even worthy of love or if they even belong alone, but hey that’s just me!

it's so weird that people ship perfuma, catra, mermista, etc with entrapta considering how entrapta is canonically a woman in her 30s and the others are teenagers or 18 at oldest.

[bitchy-peachy]

I really wish that antis stopped using real life sa victims in their shit especially since they tell real life sa victims that we deserved our assaults cos we all handle our trauma differently.

[cervinae-canine]

i really dislike it when grown ass anime fans (who can you tell don't view japanese people as individuals), try to use the words of one japanese person on twitter as fuel to dogpile on a 16 year old who made a black edit for fun. as if most japanese people would give a shit over something so minuscule.

+ they act slimy or disgusting towards japanese artists who sincerely want to include diverse characters in their art. so it really shows that they don't care about the words of japanese people unless they just so happen to agree. its not even subtle at this point.

Every anti Iris West post I see is talking about the CW show. But I haven't watched the CW show. I've read Iris's original 60s comics, and my god. I hate her. I want to tell her to stop being so godsdamned judgemental! "Oh, Barry's so slow. He makes a turtle look fast. Isn't it funny how I demean my boyfriend like he's my punching bag!?". You're a jerk. And then Captain Cold tries to propose to you, and you treat him like living trash.

Iris West is a horrible human being, and it's really, really hard to tolerate reading these comics because of her. She's just...christ, it's like her one personality trait is judgmental and snarky. She's just a jerk. Carol Ferris, Lois Lane and Steve Trevor (some of DC's other big romantic interests) combined make for way better people than Iris. She should've died with and never came back. Now that's a very comforting thought. She's just...so bad. And I can't take it back. I legitimately hate her.

Sooooo, the first three episodes have not yet changed my mind on the rings of power show

[oflorelei]

you're anti hotd cause your favorite wet cat aemond/aegon doesn't get enough sad screentime, I'm anti hotd cause of they butchered EVERY.SINGLE.CHARACTER. We are NOT the same. 💀

In all seriousness, how is the tag anti hotd used by people watching this show and only doing that? Genuinely wondering, because it doesn't come off as "I'm against the show because they never bothered to stay true to the source or respect it", but rather "nOoOooo aEmOND mY pOOr bAbY!!1!1!1!!!", like jfc.

Heheheheheho I have gotten some of the Dragon Age books (🏴‍☠️) and this is gonna really let me dig into some stuff, especially my favorite guy Cole, cause now I can read his OG appearance, I want to see how much stuff Cole says, especially during his quest actually makes sense, and how much is in-universe "both sides are right"ing about not listening to what Cole wants to do.

I am mainly talking about Spirit!Cole thanking Inky for not making him change... Despite the fact that thoughout Cole's quest Solas ignores what Cole wants (Like being binded) & wants to do (Kill the guy who beat beyond beating a 12 (at most) year old (most likely, it isn't outright stated (to my memory) the Templar who fucked up the paperwork was also one of the ones who physically abused him, but I feel it's a pretty safe assumption) & got that child killed due to neglect & faced no consequences) but ultimately the choice that causes Cole to thank the player for not changing him is the one where you listen to Solas over Cole (Or well Varric, who also doesn't let Cole do what he wants but is closer to what Cole would have done if he had went alone for the confrontation) & in this route I would say Cole's character changes a lot more, especially as he forgets the original Cole, which... Rubs me wrong, but I'll save my more detailed thoughts for 1. After I fully read Asunder & 2. Either a full Cole analysis or a detailed post about my thoughts on his quest & routes (& maybe how I'd rewrite them, as a Autistic person & a ally to the aroace community)

Anyways my point is that I want to see how true it is characters rejected or wanted to change Cole, I want to see what leads him to feel that having two men argue & tell him who he is supposed to be & do only to have a third person decide out of those two's options for what he should do is remotely a situation where he's been accepted.

cailan wanting to invite orlesian soldiers to ferelden again never stops to baffle me, i'm not sure if it was meant to be an intentional character flaw, or just bioware leads being mostly white canadians not entirely understanding the context. my country was occupied for a long time and while i personally don't remember it, it's still a big part of my culture/history. and while i get that some ppl in next generations might not hate the country that occupied them, or think it's a history and ppl living there now are not responsible for their parents' actions - you would still be aware why other ppl would not want them here, you would still understand why this would be a problem, right?? cailan is a king, he might personally think that celene is fine now (conveniently ignoring gaspard), but he should be aware of most fereldens hating orlais, thats kinda in the job description, he needs to balance what he personally think is right with what his ppl are letting him do. like how ignorant he is to talk about orlesians in front of loghain of all ppl. so i just don't know if he was intentionally meant to be so short-sighted, or the writers just didn't understand what a horribly bad idea it was. same with the alienage situation, is cailan a bad king who just missed the fact that his ppl are violently raiding and abusing the elves, or he is a racist who knows it and did nothing, or just the writers forgot about it being quite a big deal.

Idk if there's enough people talking about what a gigantic energy drain Complex PTSD is. It's not just one single traumatic event, it's having lived in a traumatic situation for a long time. And in the case of child abuse, your entire formative life period. Everything is a trigger, anxiety is your default, and your brain keeps trying to keep you safe by yelling at you about everything you're doing "wrong", which will lead to pain. Your brain is a constant war zone, braced for attack, rarely relaxed, at least some part of you always hypervigilant. The stress it takes on your body is insane. It's why trauma is linked to autoimmune issues, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and, according to one study, cancer.

Physical disability leaves you even more vulnerable and less able to live up to the impossible standards of control and "correct" behaviour your brain insists on, not to mention the free gift given to all patients of chronic illness that is medical gaslighting and patient-blaming, all of which simply compounds the trauma. Reduced physical and mental health obviously leads to systemic risk factors such as inability to pursue academic and professional qualifications, poverty and financial struggle, malnutrition, becoming unhoused or bad living conditions, exacerbated medical issues and further lack of medical resources, reliance on welfare and care networks, and becoming trapped in codependent, abusive or toxic relationships. The knock-on effects are endless.

This is all to say— if you're wondering why you can't seem to do more than the bare minimum every day when you haven't been diagnosed with a physical illness, or you're "not that disabled", or you think your symptoms are "just psychosomatic" (which means your brain is under so much intolerable stress that it's started taking a chair to the windows and destroying the furniture just to get you to NOTICE AND MAKE IT STOP): the answer is that your body is actually struggling under the kind of stress that kills trained soldiers and disables them for life. So stop trying to convince yourself that you're just not trying hard enough when what you really, desperately need to get your life on track is community, care, rest and ease.

the thing is while i overall quite like the substance, i still had some major issues with it and i absolutely think you can dislike the movie or criticize certain parts of it. but every time i see people who didn't like the movie explain why "its bad" im always like. that's not a good criticism you just tried buying clothes at the soup store
