me in 2021, talking about mating bond rejections:

by “agency”, I mean that someone has the ability to make their own decisions, and they can act on their own behalf. [...] ENTER: THE ABILITY TO REJECT THE MATING BOND. If characters in acotar can reject a mating bond, that means that they do have agency, they do have choice, they now have the capacity to consent.

Sarah in 2024, talking about mating bonds:

“That’s something I find to be very interesting,” she replies. “What if the forces that be put you with the wrong person? Or what if you just decide, eh, I’m not interested. … There’s a lot to explore within the concept of mates and your agency about it. “I’m not going to say if I am exploring it in future books or not,” she continues, “but it definitely offers a wealth of things to explore with this concept of freewill and what is true love. Is it something that’s destined? Or is it something that you make? Is it both?”

If Sarah Janet Maas thought that fate had NOTHING to do with it, mating bonds wouldn't be a central trope in every single one of her books.

Like y'all... I literally said that agency is an incredibly important part of the way that sjm has built these bonds - bonds that always end with endgame, btw - and then sjm herself also said it's an important question.

In the linked post above, I also explain that she has already been playing with these questions. Chapters 52-55 of acomaf are the result of Feyre grappling with them. When Nesta sends Cassian away for a week in acosf, that is her grappling with those questions. Elain right now, not doing anything with her bond? She is literally already doing what sjm describes above, contemplating those questions. Please, reread the scene before Feyre and Rhys get it on, removing any of the "will she accept him or won't she" tension. It would suck, right? It would be boring, and we'd be like why are you wasting your time in this cabin.

But... we know how they always end. Together. It's the process of getting there that is intriguing.

#elucien #gwynriel #yet again she gave us more of what we already knew #and the fandom is acting like they had no idea Sarah likes a mate bond #or gives characters “choice”#etc.#anyway I keep being right?#but about stuff we should all ALReADY KNOW LOL

"So what's the weirdest possible first (second) impression Loop could make on the party in postcanon?" "Yeah, that, probably."

+ Bonus

theyre just standing there in direct party order while this happens. normal tuesday.

#its not even purely aggression or a powerplay or anything i think they just fucking panicked and had to shut them up somehow #anyway . fluff reunion? angst reunion? how about just weird as fuck reunion. KEEP EM GUESSIN #in stars and time #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #sifloop #hello again sifloop nation i bring you weird fucking takes once again #this sure is a different tone to the last thing i put in the tags huh? KEEP EM GUESSIN BABEYYYY #lucabyteart #in stars and time act 6 spoilers #anyway this is a truncated & amped up version of my headcanon reunion. which is to say loop sits on the edge of camp waiting to be noticed #& after what would be far more rambling than ive put here siffrin almost calls them that and loop stops them + makes it clear thats secret #but loop has had to travel some distance to get to them + has been stewing about it. knows they stopped existing for a while and came back #doesnt know why. blames it on siffrin. might not even have been them or a wish. but they jump to conclusions and have time to get mad #then like TWO SECONDS after they have this weird standoff reunion its RIGHT BACK to being buddy buddy and overly familiar with them.#just ultra confusing for the party. as confusing as humanly possible.

(Silence. CARPENTER tries to rally HAYWARD's spirits. She's afraid she's going to lose him.)

"All three of us - we can all go on living, Hayward. Just like you said."

#the silt verses #tsv #sister carpenter #carpenter #james hayward #audio drama #horror podcast #artists on tumblr #listen all my tsv drawings so far have been vibes based so pls ignore the inconsistencies on here alfkdsj #namely: i know carpenter uses a rifle (opted against it visually)#and then i spent like half an hour looking at iv diagrams and idk how medical care is on a plane but. listen. I'm ignoring all that #let alone with a patient you were forced to heal after being held hostage LOL #(not putting hayward in a hospital gown for the finale. i'm not. so he gets his bloodied clothes)#anyway i (notoriously slow artist) rushed to get this out before the finale #they mean so much to me!!#(faulkner voice) jeez hayward how come you get to have a good relationship with paige AND carpenter in the final season #also if you follow my main the small detail of carpenter not letting go of hayward's hands in the beginning-#was my load bearing emotional support bit of the episode you know I had to include it #the way i spent forever trying to get carpenter's expression right only to last minute decide NOT to cover it up alfsdjk #id in alt text #pls lmk if there's anything in the description i should change!#i try to keep it short but I know I ramble #tw blood #tw eye strain

THERE AIN'T NO ATLAS, KID. NEVER WAS.

if you peel him back far enough, there's nothing but a pile of theater masks

like, it's really fun how fontaine starts spiralling out the closer jack gets to him in the final arc of the game and returns to appropriating the image of family (the fake family in the beginning, the flawed father position later) to try and appeal to jack in some way but it's like. buddy. baby. you already took off your mask. anything you try and put on after this is going to come across as cheap and desperate. the magic is gone! and personally? I'm hooting and hollering

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta

#like it's SOOOOOOO funny how he tries to pull the family angle again especially because he's sort of mimicking ryan #by trying to appropriate the father role over jack (the role of father being one of control #which. so you know how the fascist state works. right. if i start talking about roman history and the father of the state thing #will i start to lose people. im gonna do it anyway. SO-- [i am forcibly removed from the podium])#esp bc it's like. fontaine did the locks and keys for jack's mind but it's suchong we hear jack address with a familial term in #a recording. which is also. very. aughghgh. because we know what kind of person suchong is! (supernatural voice) family is hell #(not supernatural voice) you can choose to break the chains tho #i know i keep talking about the absolutely batshit family themes going on in bioshock esp w/ fontaine's father appropriation #but it's because the game has so much fascist dialogue coming out of ryan at full blast it would be EGREGIOUS not to think about it #i have some weird comic about intimacy via radios because it's enough of an immersive sim that i started thinking thoughts #about how I felt about the voice on the radio. and also. uhhhhhhhhhhhh. lobotomies.#(unsurprisingly I once had a jack/atlas-fontaine phase lmao)#bioshock #frank fontaine

higuruma who likes wine. i'm thinking he likes it almost as dry as his coffee but he's very appreciative of the fruity undertones — like you can tell the mood he's in based on the wine he's bought.

he wins a case and he already has a bottle of pinot noir open and waiting for when you finally get home, tie loose and manspreading on the couch, hair tousled and a small dopey smile (yes he started without you but don't worry, he's sure you can keep up)

or maybe he's lost a case and you're pouring him a third glass of california cabernet in the warm bathtub, soap bubbles on his frown lines, arms wrapped tight around you while you straddle him, his teeth grazing your shoulder (he's literally just a brooding baby, hold him pls)

either way, he fucks you idk why i was talking ab the wine. idk anything ab wine. basis is he fucks you while wine drunk really.

#📰 — archive #spit in my mo—#anyways #hiromi is a wine guy #nanami is more of a whiskey guy #he prob buys his wine at the same store everytime #very particular ab picking whichever one feels right in his hands #idk he might be autistic i think hes literally me #do not let him pour your wine though #he'll never let you stop drinking #this man is here for a GOOD time okay?#hes not stopping til the bottle is ran thru #will 100% call you wasteful and tease you if you can't keep up #loathes being called an alcoholic bcus god forbid he has attachment to a substance other than you #jjk higuruma #higuruma x reader #higuruma smut

I think that the party's communication issues can be summed up as "man, is it awkward to tell someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with them if you've only know them for a few months? Probably."

#isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #listen they will kill for each other but also its such a short time???? like??? thats part of the tragedy tbh #like!!! yeah theyll go back to their previous lives bc who in their right minds throw out everything they were doing before for people youv #only known for a few months and it turns out all of them do bc theyre insane for each other but!!!! like!!!! thats still a big ask!!!!!#yeah lets throw out everything we've ever know to be together lets fucking go and then they do in the end!!!! but!!!#thats because theyre all are ride or die to the extreme for each other!!!!!! far more than siffrin thinks anyone will ever be for him!!!!#anyway I have a lot of feelings about the party and just how bonkers (affectionate) they are #yeah no siffrin I too would not expect people to put aside their previous lives especially if its clear they have other plans #'yeah im gonna invite myself over to your house to live here lol' yeah no I would not assume that!!!!!!!#the issue is more that issue doesnt communicate what he really wants because if they do and his family says no then... being together truly #will end so he doesnt ask so they never will get a no so it never has to end (and has his reason to keep going)#this is turning into an essay in the tags but like. God its a wild set of circumstances so #tbh Siffrin not thinking the party wants to travel together is not wild to me neither is family not communicating #them wanting to be together ALL OF THEM wanting it is... unbelivable in these circumstances #but they do bc theyre all insane and ride or die but the extent of which is a mystery to all of them #anyway thats my essay in the tags #just read the no loops fic where the adults minus siffrin all offer to bring bonnie to bambouche and had FEELINGS about it #my posts

Okay so Like a Dog doesn't really fit Mikoto and John at all except for this one line maybe, but I really wanted to draw them in the pose.

Plus I wanted to make myself a new phone wallpaper that incorporates PAFL in some way.

No filter and text version under the cut

#milgram #milgram fanart #mikoto kayano #john kayano #john milgram #iris draws #fun fact: mikoto's eye was opened in my sketch but i couldn't make it look right #but hey it could represent mikoto willingly being in denial and refusing to open his eyes or something #~ symbolism woooooo #oh and the background is an edited screenshot from MeMe #anyway after drawing this i somehow fucked up my tablet #now it keeps drawing even when i'm just hovering/not even touching the screen #idk what to do #it's a veikk 1200 tablet if that helps #so i won't be drawing until i figure out how to fix that

Taking pride in One's own appearance.

#you people are becoming my guinea pigs for my finally learning how to communicate information via comics. a thing ive needed to practice at #also BLEGH. YUCK. andrew hussie was right candy makes you sick. this is a little too saccharine for me. yeesh. let me get back to the meat.#isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #sifloop #doodlebyte #'let me get back to the meat' i say eyeing something similarly sickly in my sketches. at least it's mildly tormented as a counterbalance...#you people have no idea how much im having to stay my own hand. oh i can draw miserable nudity but the most basic of fluff? visceral #anyway i dont know the logistics of picking up a glass eye or where loop got money (besides pilfering from siffrin) & ive previously drawn #sif with a vague blank middle-grey eye as either being scarred over or a blank occular prosthesis put in quickly at the nearest town #i dont know that they'd have a glass eye during the game but considering prosthesis are reccomended to keep the skull etc from deforming #id imagine it would probably come up postgame as something to do now theyre not on a time limit trying to save the country #plus i assume that having it gouged at by a sadness wasnt exactly a clean wound by any measure #all this to say. idk i just wanted to get some information across in comic form to Test my Abilities #and we're far enough down now to say my absolute most wretchingly sweet fluff headcanon that actually inspired this #which is that i think siffrin gets into the habit of not wearing the eyepatch around loop so they kinda match.#and as a signifier to the other that they're letting their guard down around them. vulnerability etc.#just kinda wearing it around their neck so they don't lose it

based off this video. i think teto is a union man

#art #traditional art #watercolour #fanart #vocal synth #kasane teto #synthv #utau #utauloid #koharu rikka #synthesizer v #voicepeak #my vocal synth tagging systems are getting messier and messier by the second #anyway i dont know why i picture her caring a lot about labour rights and regulations. its probably because 1)#shes just been around so long and has been actively updated this whole time #(not just the sv bank release but also her utau banks as well) so she probably has lots of experience #and 2) twindrill somehow managed to snag a commercial voicebank contract that lets them keep up the utau banks too #which i do appreciate. i like hearing voices on all kinds of software but it sucks that a lot of utau that move commercial take down their #old voicebanks. probably licensing stuff in like vocaloid and such's agreements #although the two utau who have sv banks (teto and renri) were both able to keep up their old stuff so maybe sv has looser contracts?#sv is made by the moresampler guy after all. maybe theyre a little more open about it #anyway i think thats why i picture her being really savvy with this stuff LOL i think shes great at chilchucking it you know #advocating for her fellow synths and negotiating contracts the whole nine yards #i think she will unionize your vocal synths. i think she will unionize them.

COBRA KAI SEASON 5 EPISODE 10 / SEASON 6 EPISODE 1

+ bonus

#cobra kai #miguel diaz #robby keene #kiaz #kenny payne #shawn payne #what i love about this is that we know robby can and HAS individually beaten both kenny and shawn #but the difference is in both these situations 1. he doesn't WANT to fight them and 2. he's being tagteamed #and both times miguel steps in to act as a shield #to say 'hey robby might not wanna do this but i'll do it for and with him if you keep this up'#and it's refreshing!! because robby has always had to fight his own battles!!#anyway i support kenny and shawn's rights and wrongs

RULES OF BEING OTHERKIN #1

Being authentic and true to yourself is the only way you are 'supposed to be/act like' (insert entity). If anyone else disagrees it only tells you about them.

#going to start a small 'series' where I document stuff I learn that is otherkin specific. This is for myself as well as anyone who might #be struggling with things I used to/am working on(otherkin specific). hopefully this will reduce any mental pitfalls other otherkin may #fall into as they explore their identity and help out someone.#this 'rule' took a LONG time to fully understand and grasp. for the longest time I would consciously or subconsciously #think I was less Loki if I did or was something 'Loki would never do. until i realized I do exactly and experience exactly what Loki does #and experiences because...Im literally Loki. (talking about incarnations here). I felt pressured to be a certain way because 'Loki would #never (insert). being aroace is on of them. i tried to convince myself I wasn't aroace #and when I finally ran out of reasons i felt i was 'less Loki' because mythologically hes like the opposite. but Loki IS aroace. because #Im Loki. and Im aroace. so loki is SUPPOSED to be aroace because Im loki and im being exactly how loki is being. because im loki. being #myself. therefore being exactly like Loki. again - incarnation.#anyway....if anyone else struggles with this I hope this helps someone. its a really sucky place to be in honestly.#godkin #deitykin #alterhuman #otherkin #divinekin #nonhuman #alterbeing #therian #I think I will be learning a LOT more as I keep exploring and I will note down any 'rules' I learn - more like lessons but rules personally #sound more right for me. rules i will live by (yknow unless i find out im wrong but...im going to trust myself more and right now i feel #like this rule is true. so im using it as such unless i find out im wrong in future.
