Just thinking about how storytellers are all linked together in a chain of ingesting the stories, themes, metaphors, concepts, ideas, subjects, etc of beloved predecessors and peers and finding what touches you, inspires you, moves you, what you also want to communicate and then- making something of your own, something that will touch someone next, change them a little (or a lot) in a beautiful way and they’ll make something too, maybe with a little bit of you in it.
And we’ve been doing that in an unbroken link since language began.
#it’s a run on because it should be#anyway just crying about humans#we make big mistakes but by god we are beautiful#i don’t believe in that kind of god but the emphasis was necessary#anyway storytellers includes non-writers#dancers do this#singers#painters sculptors actors#etc#i have a lot of FEELINGS about it#human stuff

can i come over and pretend to be a normal human being except neither of us know what a normal human being is meant to look like
#my art#<- doodle whatevs#anyway i have a lot to say about the caption#i think mog does want to be perceived as “normal” in order to gain friends. since he lived on superflat with minimal human interaction#for years#then mumbo wants to be perceived as “normal” both for wanting friends and wanting to be unthreatening#however mumbo grew up on hermitcraft (surrounded by nonhumans)#and mog barely sees other people#and since in my. weird mc universe in my head everyones a shapeshifter to some degree#they just kinda.... guessed how to do it#anyway WOOOOO MUMBOSWAMP ON TOP (THEY HSVR NEVER INTERACTED ON CAMERa)#mumboswamp#first one in the tag baby#mumbo jumbo#mogswamp#might play arounf with designs later#also i have to say otherwise ill cry MUMBOS LONG ARMS IS ON PURPOSE#weird lanky freak guy. i luv him

your art is beautiful im rly curious about your wc ocs as well!!! what happened to harpy?
Harpy’s injury was by an attempt to drown him on the day where he was supposed to become the leader, by the previous leader. (Leaders in greater way are known as crown holders.)
#my art#until it tastes like prey#harpy#screech#this story takes in a post apocalyptic world where humans have died out and everything is mutated but thst isn’t the focal point .#this story is about cats constantly discovering god but they do this to make sense of their place in the world#this story is about discovering about how infinitely small they all are…#anyway. harpy isn’t a main character. but he is important as he leads Greaterway’s clan.#one day I’ll get into detail! have you seen that post that tells you that math was constructed#by god just to show humanity how infinitely TINY they are compared to everything.. that math is so vast that it exists to act#as a complex form that reminds us that we are#fleshy disgusting tiny crying pissing puking digesting creatures that r inherently… just that#THATS WHAT THIS STORY IS I THINK… haha…#it’s post apocalyptic because these cats stare in the wake of the creations of humanity and it’s scary.#they can not make sense of it. and it’s really scary.#god.. waow.#greaterway#warriors oc

all I knew going in was that the movie was called "Godzilla Minus One" and I was like "haha you mean there's no Godzilla in this? less than one Godzilla?" wrong, there was indeed a Godzilla. 11/10 movie
#no but actually the human plot was so compelling#I never thought I would cry in a Godzilla move but here we are!#both me and my sister cried and we never cry in movies#anyway go watch Godzilla Minus One wile it's still in theaters#*especially* if you liked the 1954 movie#I just AAAAAAA it's so good it clearly cares so much about its characters it's so refreshing and heart wrenching and aaaaaaa#Godzilla#godzilla minus one#godzilla minus 1#it's unironically one of my favorite movies of all time now#10 year old me was actually a huge Godzilla fan so it's a tradition for me my brother and my sister to watch any new godzilla movies#when we can get them in US theaters#VERY happy I got to see this one

isha's song got me CRYING FOR REAL FOR REAL
#text#nova shh#arcane#arcane s2#arcane spoilers#isha lol#arcane meta#music#crying aside i'm REALLY fascinated with the choice to make the song in mandarin#my mandarin isn't personally good enough to understand most of the poetic nuances of the song but#the melody and instrumentation and vocals are Impeccably expressive. i know what this song is about even if i don't know the words.#i don't love the take that a foreign language is being used as a metaphor for someone being nonverbal but#i do think it's smth adjacent. it's not a representation of being nonverbal but rather a very real communication barrier#and yet for the things that really matter at the end of all things - the feeling the loyalty the love - i understand it perfectly#just as isha is understood perfectly by jinx through physicality and mannerism and action. we perceive a barrier where there is none#and there's something to be said about the innate affinity we have for the human voice in deep emotional expression#as someone who dearly loves instrumental/orchestral music i know this to be true. the song would not have the same impact without vocals#thinking about the nier soundtracks too.#anyway. i'm crying for real for real idk what just came over me

the way the ericson group were at the outbreak just a bunch of troubled kids who made various mistakes or committed crimes and were judged by a system that punished and abandoned them instead of giving them the support and love they needed, are then nearly a decade later put into a situation where now they must judge a troubled child for the mistakes and crimes hes committed against them. and 5 to 3 vote them out 😭
#twdg#i love the way s4 connects back to lees whole 'murderer' thing back in s1 😭 guilt...atonement.....systems of punishment#i love thinking about s1>s4 themes and crying#anyway this is partially why i hate when i see the ericson cast reduced down to 'just some teens' its so much more than that#them being abandoned in a boarding school for troubled kids is SO IMPORTANT its not 'just some school'#anyway its also probably why theyre my favorite cast#theyre literally one of if not the most mature group of the series even while being a bunch of kids who make choices i dont agree with#because they actually love and care about each other. even when theyre mad. because theyre all they have left#i do think the vote was a fair way to handle it even tho i still ultimately find it cruel. they couldve talked it out#but this is still a story that needs conflict to resolve so is what it is#they would rather they leave than have to face their confused feelings. the most immature thing they do. but understandable#they did such a good job crafting that cast for clem GOD an entire ensemble built around her and aj....delicious#zombie/post apoc media about love and community my beloved 😭#sorry but get tf out of here with that 'humans are evil and everyone dies' lame ass bullshit we are nothing without community#the amount of love pouring out of s4 is like getting my ass kicked but then they give me a big hug and kiss after and send me on my way#s4 my absolute beloved i really love it more and more every time. so much to appreciate even with it the way it is#the themes bro the themes........ the connections between seasons 1 and 4 you are everything to me#it speaks

Getting REAL sick and tired of how omori TikTok views sunny.
Like, they view any scene of him being emotionally vulnerable, affectionate, or even just making an expression outside of just being completely neutral as “mischaracterised”. He’s not some cool, stoic, unwavering badass, he is a traumatised teenager. Don’t cry whenever he dares to give his friend a hug or (god forbid) be SAD about something??? Isn’t like. Part of the point of his development about him allowing himself to break down the repressive walls he built when he shut himself in? And being able to rely on his real friends instead of imaginary versions? And isn’t the game like. Meant to SHOW that he still cares about them despite isolating himself?
It’s really stupid to get mad at a character like that showing emotion or affection personally, especially since he’s not used to expressing it properly after so long. But that’s just me
#this isn’t even solely about the manga though it inspired me to make this post#any piece of official art in which sunny dares to show an emotion is shunned as ooc and I’m sick of it#he only appears ‘neutral’ throughout the GAME’s narrative because he HAS NO FACE SPRITES#because he’s the protagonist and has no actual dialogue#therefore he only makes a few expressions the entire game#obviously manga sunny is a good bit more expressive than canon sunny but#it’s REALLY not as bad as TikTok is making it out to be#I’m so TIRED of this character being viewed as nothing but a rock that ONLY has personality before and the game’s events#not allows to emote at all because ‘he didn’t do that in the game!!’#because he is restricted to ONE face sprite the entire time outside of the battles#omori is a DIFFERENT case and I can admit that manga omori is a good bit more expressive than he should be but#he’s still VERY stoic especially compared to sunny#which is what is should be#sunny should be quite closed off but in contrast to omori so much more human#that’s like. a massive part of their dynamic I feel#anyway this is such a long rant but god im so angry#I’ve seen one too many people cry ‘mischaracterised’ at a teenager expressing feelings#PLEASE stop it#also this is not to say you can’t critique manga sunny’s portrayal#because there are a few issues I believe#which are honestly really hard to dance around considering the factors I mentioned before#about having one expression most of the game and two lines of dialogue the entire time#and honestly? I think they did a pretty okay job!#he’s still a silent protagonist but seeing him emote so often helps us see into his mind and know how he’s thinking much easier#both portrayals have their pros and cons and ultimately I prefer the game’s portrayal#but that’s not to say this version of sunny is terrible and ooc like people have been saying#and that’s definitely not to say that any moment of emotional vulnerability he has is terrible and inaccurate#because that’s. just terrible and untrue#omori#omori sunny

i forgor it was autism day yesterday so i'd like to wish a very happy autism month and late autism day to data from star trek specifically :)
#star trek#star trek tng#star trek the next generation#star trek next gen#data soong#data#commander data#data tng#autism#autism acceptance day#autism acceptance month#actually autistic#autistic#data's so autism it has to be canon#like#he doesn't get social cues or humour#he mirrors the actions of his human friends (especially geordi)#he has a flat effect#he has a special interest (sherlock holmes)#he can't process his emotions in a ''human'' way and doesn't quite get facial expressions#and even when he does get the emotion chip installed he still exhibits literally every other autism trait#that's what i love about data post generations. the emotion chip didn't suddenly make him human-#-or neurotypical. he's still good ol' autistic data he just knows how to laugh and cry now :)#that what i was afraid of when i first watched the movie because i thought they'd just do a whole 180 with his character-#-as soon as geordi installed the chip but luckily they did not and i'm very happy about it#anyway shoutout to data!! i love him very much <3

one time my mom was talking about something, I don’t remember what, and she said “have you ever known the poverty of having nothing to say?” and when I say nothing has ever punctured my heart quite like that statement
#I don’t even fully know why. also I don’t think she even meant it how I took it#but there is just some part of me that does believe that that is the greatest poverty#when there are no words in your mind or heart. no phrases—nothing to rely on or fall back on#and you just have to struggle with the human condition and be able to express none of it#and I know that not everyone uses words like I do or relies on them that way but people need some words. they need something#this is why a) I never make fun of those Instagram accounts that are all cheesy inspirational quotes or whatever because people are trying#they are REACHING#also b) that’s why villains who are wordlessly violently destructive make me cry#because it’s just like—-yeah I can understand turning to violence if I didn’t have expression#if I couldn’t get anything out#also also this is not related but I watched some movie or tv show the other day (and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was)#but there was this couple on a date and the girl asks him to complete all these proverbs after she gives him the first half#because ‘a man who knows his proverbs can’t be all bad’ and it shook. Me. To. My. CORE.#also also!! this is why I teach! it’s the heart of it for me!! And why I make them memorize poetry. like.#and put quotes on the board every day. like. You will have words and images in your mind and your heart from my class if I have anything#to say about it#anyway sometimes my mom says things and casually devastates me#and I think (I think) she was just talking about the poverty of having no news because nothing is going on#and so you have nothing to share with someone. and she was talking about my Grandma and how sometimes she was just so sullen and quiet#but it’s just because there was nothing to say#anyway anyway anyway that is also why the one time on the phone my grandma said who has known the mind of the Lord —shook me so much#because she never really said anything. words were not her thing and she never quoted anything#and suddenly her saying this line of scripture that said more than any words I’d ever said —one of the defining moments of my life#tbh. anyway this is very long I’m sorry. I have woken up this morning crying about this. idk.

THE KISS ON TOP OF THE HEAD OH I AM UNWELL ‼️
#except her response to that would probably be a sad little yeah cause she thinks it’s both her biggest strength and flaw#cause it allows people to trample all over her and she just…. lets it 😔 my sweet sweet bbg needs therapy so bad#and a nice cup of tea & a hug#that’s why it’s good she’s paired with morgan — she learns to start standing up for herself#but ultimately being with morgan gives her the confidence to heartbreakingly choose to not turn because she does not want immortality#she wants a human life full of love and happiness and then ….. she wants to go meet her dad#anyways crying thinking about them and this conversation to be had 😭😭😭#m book4 is absolutely gonna annihilate me#and i can’t wait <33#twc m#the wayhaven chronicles#twc book 4 demo#morgan x naaz

I wonder if Flowey ever just... let Clover stay dead for longer than a few seconds after they died in a fight just to see what happens. I mean, he basically is the master of their fate and would probably get bored of seeing them repeat the same three routes over and over and over again. I feel like in between trying to push Clover to fight Asgore, he'd probably find the time to entertain himself watching other characters react to Clover's death to mix things up a bit.
#undertale yellow#he'd be busting out popcorn and treating everyone's psychological breakdown as a dark comedy#oh? starlo succeeded in killing Clover and now that he can see the blood spilling into the sand and suddenly everything isn't some#dumb cowboy roleplay where everyone plays at justice and starlo really for real murdered a child? lmaooooooo#let's watch this grown man break down crying as his best friend has to cope with the fact that he's a child murderer.#or axis kills clover in a pacifist route and Ceroba has to cope with the fact that because she told them to not fight back#they couldn't defend themself properly and now another kid died because of Chujin's creation AND she can't use their soul#for her husband's legacy.#or how about dalv killing clover and he realizes that it wasn't a hallucination. he just fought another human.#or martlet's fight where she wasn't seriously trying to apprehend them but they died anyways and she realizes that#a part of her job entails killing kids.#or the Feisty 4 fight where starlo leaves for 5 minutes and comes back to all his friends having murdered a child#why stop at pacifist/neutral though?#Martlet was reluctant to fight clover the first time in a no mercy run. yeah she stopped a dangerous killer but they could've turned#things around and tried to be better but now they never get the chance to do that.#or Ceroba beats Clover and realizes that she has absolutely nothing left for her. her husband is dead. her daughter is in limbo.#her best friend died in front of her. there is nothing left for her now.#..... actually. flowey. pass me the popcorn too. i wanna sit down and see where things go as well.#i know flowey wouldn't give a damn about all the emotional aspects but I'd more than happily eat that angst up!

Even More Meat Marionette Au
But a lil drabble <3 Because my ADHD snatched this au and isn't letting go.
There were tunnels under Gotham.
Everyone knew about them, even if they were rarely spoken of. There were tales about them, some whispered in hushed voices from mother to child, others creeping across withered pages stained with age. Stories of creatures, of living shadows, of men going mad, wailing about the things beneath.
No one went into the tunnels.
Not purposely at least.
For one Bruce Wayne, he had fallen the first time- slipped into a well after a night of rain and into those dark caves with stone as black as night and just as stained with blood as the rest of the city.
No one had gone down for a long time, and no one should have gone down for longer still, but the rain had made the crumbling stones slick, the child reaching just a hint too far, and so down he went, nails scrabbling against unyielding rock and blood dripping from soft skin.
The child did not scream, even if his terror was sweet in the air as his blood mixed with the water soaking his clothes. He did not stay, just like the others before him, but the caves remembered the sweetness of the fear he brought.
No one went into the tunnels, not anymore.
Yet the child did.
Oh he wasn’t a child anymore, not to humans, but to the ancient caves, he was still but an infant. He’d eventually leave, and they’d still be there. They had been there long before, and they’d be long after even when the city turned to dust in the sands of time.
And yet…
And yet.
Yet he kept returning, night after night and day after day, running a hand along the stone that should have chilled him to the bone. His fear was still ever so sweet in the air, even if it was lessening over the time. It was… curious.
There was still the scent of fear, of terror coming from the human, but it also wasn’t. It was coming from him, but it wasn’t his own fear.
The emotion clung to him, but it wasn’t his. It was others’ fear, others’ fear he was bringing down to the cavernous tunnels. Others’ fear he was feeding It, unknowing or not. A gift, a meal, something for It and It alone.
It was only polite to return the favor, to gift the little human something to fight and terrify. As much as the spilled blood pleased It, the tunnels understood that it would be far better for Its little human to stay healthy, to be able to bring blood not his own.
The city was always full of corpses and the tunnels stretched far longer than humans realized after all, It could reach any who fell. Purposeful deaths, accidental, it made no difference to the bloodstained stone beneath.
It would call to Its little human soon enough, Its gift was nearly complete after all. Something to fly without the creaking metal or suits of wires. Something new, something It hadn’t formed before.
After all, what use would It have for a living body? What use did flesh and stone need to move? It had been here for a long time, and It would be here longer still, but perhaps, perhaps just this once another would last past the crumbling of life and bones turning to dust.
A gift, from the tunnels to him.
For one Bruce Wayne, who had returned to them with sacrifices of flesh and blood and fear each night. For one child who had fallen and returned to the depths of the tunnels, for one child that was Its.
This is a combo of my Au & @phoenixcatch7's and you need to check out their Possessed Doll Au because it's amazing <3<3
#writing wip#meat marionette au#batman au#batman#bruce wayne#lovecraftian vibes#The tunnels under Gotham: He's just our funny lil guy <3#Gothamites: *Screaming crying vomiting*#The tunnels: We love him <3#Bruce: *Crying & clinging to his exposure therapy bat plush*#The tunnels: he's such an adorable lil mortal boi <3#He's baby to them even if they're distinctly not human in their thinking#Someone turned up the heat in the house and my brain is melting or else I'd be writing from bruce's pov#about when he first gets his meat puppet body & literally wakes up in it#but it's like 80 degrees because my mom has a medical condition that is the opposite of me easily overheating :/#Anyway have a drabble and I hope yall like it#Writing wip#wip#drabble#gotham#this is like not edited at all so it might not be clear lol

for these past couple of days since the news came out i've been thinking and there are quite a few things that mean the world to me - shadowhunters, teen wolf, DC shows (supergirl, the flash, the legends of tomorrow, arrow), the maze runner - mainly because they're such a huge part of my entire childhood and middle school life that i'm still so nostalgic about.
HOWEVER, one direction has always been a lot more special than the others, simply because my entire fangirl life started with and because of them yk?? the very first fanfiction i read was one direction one, the very first fanfiction i wrote myself was one direction one, the reason why i created my very first twitter fan account (which then led me to finding quite a lot important people in my life later on, including my best friend) back in 2020 account was because of one direction. basically everything you need to do at first to consider yourself a fangirl, in my experience, was because of one direction. and they, all five of them, have meant and always will mean a lot to me.
#and sure i know that maybe he wasn't that good of a human being#but he still was one ykwim??#maybe i'm looking at this entire situation from a too religious point of view#and a point of view of a someone who witnessed last year what it's like for a mother to find out that her son is gone#and how sudden and horrible death can be#so sure i didn't know him personally but that doesn't change the fact that he was a huge part of my childhood along with other four#AND that he was still someone's son and a brother and a friend and a father#so making idiotic comments and stupid jokes about a real person's death is insensitive as FUCK#anyways idk where this rant came from but idk#ever since the last year and all that death & grief my own family went through#i tend to look at someone losing a loved one from my own perspective and how horrible it was to go through it myself#and sometimes i get a feeling that social media has caused people to lose the feeling of sympathy towards other human beings#AND ESPECIALLY towards a family that just lost its member#crys' rambling#one direction

the way this is a response to one of the members being injured after being overworked for MONTHS and going on an extended encore tour that truly did not need to happen is CRAZY... enhypen are genuinely doing just fine they have a lot of fans internationally and a lot of people support their music it's their stupid company that wants to make us believe that they are on the brink of flopping when that's not the case at all and you people fall for it that you sound like a company ceo with this talk about "market competition" like you don't care about the group you supposedly love YOU TRULY DON'T. it doesn't even matter if it was "with their consent" when you don't exactly know that anyways but even if it was, it was because they were pressured to accept having to do inhumane schedules and having comebacks and going on tour right after for years atp. i am so mad you people don't deserve the groups that you supposedly stan and love and care about the "caring" and the "loving" is all a farse
#THIS PISSED ME OFF#i've been gathering my thoughts for hours#but at today's concert jay was injured he did participate anyways#but he did cry at the concert bc he felt like he was disappointing fans#and then this loser comes out with a tweet like this#and i know a lot of people think like this#i know because i see this every day from different fandoms i am in#you don't care about them as humans#you only care about them if they give 'content' and entertainment#and that's all there is#because the moment we try to discuss a world where they go on break#or do a boycott because things are getting too much#you people act so offended and say they will disband#and it will be bad like no#IT'S ALREADY BAD RIGHT NOW#they are getting injured and sick because they don't stop working#just because you boycott an album or wtv it is it doesn't mean they will overwork the idols#they are already overworking them RIGHT NOW#it's bad RIGHT NOW#so fucking do something if you actually gaf#tris.txt

i just came across ai covers on youtube and people are requesting songs in the comments instead of getting enraged and i am further losing hope in humanity and turning to misanthropy
#meins#for a minute i got really excited about henning may singing take me to church :(#i hate people#have you no appreciation for or understanding of art? clearly not.#why would you want to listen to an ai generated song? even if it sounds like your favourite singer it's not them#it has no feelings to meaning to intention. it is empty and soulless#reading the booklet for sinéad o'connor's album of traditional irish and folk songs gave me so much appreciation for her#she wrote a little bit about each song. why she chose it or what it means to her.#it has added so much to my enjoyment of those songs and i think of it whenver i listen to it#they were chosen with intention with love with a deep appreciation for the music and lyrics and there is a story behind it all#it is art and love and human#i see aboslutely no appeal in ai generated 'music' or 'art'#and i hate that i fell for it for a minute#i was sceptical because i had never heard of henning may covering hozier and since it wasn't just 20-60 sec i am certain#i would have heard about it by now#and something was just a little bit... unsatisfying? something was missing which does apply to a lot of cover songs#(i could go on hour long rants about why people fuck up danny boy (and sinéad o'connor does it best (because she actually takes her time)#or trash madonna's version of don't cry for me argentina (again a song ruined for by everybody else but sinéad - once she has sung somethin#i have a hard time enjoying it by anybody else. the parting glass is an exception. hozier's version is phenomenal))#but! henning may not giving it his all for a cover? unlikely. very unlikely.#anyway this concludes my tuesday night rant. rather here in the tags than some poor person's inbox.#or i would have kept fuming by myself for another hour or two
