#appropriating forgiveness

[furiousgoldfish]

people will throw the 'forgive them for yourself, so you can have inner peace' phrase around like it's a cure for the goddamn ptsd

There’s a very easy way to get around the fact that Assad is unable to pass for a teeenager if the show wants to adapt TVA and that’s to rely on the theme of unreliable narration. Armand begins retelling his history and according to him, he looked like he was in his early adulthood. No older than twenty four, for sure, but also not any younger than twenty. And then, just when the audience has bought it, just when this version of events has been presented as the truth for long enough, someone questions it. Asks if he really looked like that. Asks if he’s being honest with himself. And for the briefest moment, we flashback to Amadeo, the age he was when Marius first saw him. Beaten, shackled, afraid. And undeniably a child.

Look, the bottom line is this. You're gonna be wrong and fuck up sometimes, that's just how being human works. No matter what you mean or how much you care, sometimes, you're gonna do something or say something that hurts someone or perpetuates bigotry you don't believe in.

The goal isn't to do no wrong, that's an impossible standard. The mark of "a good person" isn't that they always do good, it's that they're willing to admit when they've failed, done wrong, made a mistake, and they're willing to course-correct when they do.

It's important that you're trying. It's okay to be the bad guy. You don't need to get defensive, you don't need to stake your identity in "person who never does that kind of wrong." You just gotta be able to say "Fuck, my bad, I'm sorry," accept that your behavior didn't reflect your beliefs, and change your behavior so that it better represents who you mean to be.

The less time you spend lingering on whether it feels like people believe you are who you say you are, the more time you can spend getting better at being that person.

Some people will try to tear you down when you make mistakes, they'll try to pigeonhole you as a "bad person," someone whose very existence is defined by doing harm. This isn't your problem, and it's not your responsibility to prove anything to them. They don't have to believe you, and you don't have to appease them. So long as you're willing to accept when you *do* hurt someone, intentional or not, and you're willng to put in the effort to make reparations and change, you'll never "be a bad person."

Let yourself fuck up. All you have to do is course-correct when you notice your actions' impact have strayed from your intentions. The right people will notice that effort, and they'll be proud of you. And perhaps most importantly of all, they'll let you make that effort. Anyone who tells you it's too late to change, to discourage you from improving, or stop you from trying, is not your frend. You don't have to impress them. Ignore them, and let yourself change.

Had. An extremely funny vision to revamp Moe's staff.

The design isn't super final, I can never really decide how I want the accents to look... trying to keep them in line with how the Askr trio's weapons look. Especially the signature color magic glow that's present in their special arts!!!

Anna has it too!!!!! You just don't see it bc her art gets cut off in game. Also, additional image bc you don't see the handle v well in her special.

Which is why, here, the green gem is most prominent on Moe's weapon.... geen....... idk if I'm keeping the other ones that look like the summoning circle orbs. It was just something I wanted to try out!

BUT. BUT. The Main Idea here is that Moe added its own touch to the staff. Yeah, the dangly halo was a Neat idea, but this concept is just so much funnier to me..... says SO much about Moe as a character... it is ALWAYS. Making and customizing things. I can also see Moe using the carabiner practically as well! Now, I wonder why it held onto those two feathers in particular... 🤔

btw i'm mad at slime again

thinking about the fact that in dick and bruce's (second) worst fight, dick still went to clark for help & guidance like!! even though that's his dad's bestie and he's currently on the outs with his dad, clark's still his family too and he'd always look out for dick 😭😭

Flat colors down!

Now it's just line cleanup, hands, and shading.

Kandreil is like this: Andrew reminds Neil of Mary, both Andrew and Neil remind Kevin of Kayleigh and Andrew also shares strong similarities to Wymack. I don’t think either of them remind Andrew of Tilda or even Cass (well, feeling hopeful and hating it reminds him of Cass which is associated with both of them but not exactly what is being addressed here) but Andrew sees Tilda in the mirror every day.

Y’ALL i can’t wait for you to get your hands on these amazing presets - MARINE, you mfkin’ DID THAT, OKAY?!! *inSPIRED* had me up playin in CAS, making up whole damn backstories for sims i just met ~sigh~ they already got theme songs and nicknames cuz you had the NERVE to pop off on these wonderfully unique, character-filled, deeply customizable schnoz shapes ~ i’m in love <3333

a lil scenario occured while i was putting the family together, learning their quirks and how they interact with each other - an entire mess XD

in order of appearance :

vanity ; as “i’m watching my shows” non-snitchin’ witness / too pretty for this

snickers ; as accident-prone troublemaker crybaby / jealous he’s not the baby

ariel ; as perpetually sick-of-this-shit scandalized younger sibling / good sport

hunny ; as not the mess but has something to say about it / lowkey accomplice

mamma neptune ; as rough-edged at work, soft toward the children / the glue

the backstory of vash and knives as kids is a lot sadder in the manga… i think stampede did a lot of things well but the way they’ve handled knives is a little weird so far, they make it seem like he was some little psychopath child right from the start but that’s so far from the truth? he loved rem and saw her as his mother just as much as vash did. if anything he was initially even more desperate to be with humans than vash was. he literally broke down into happy tears the second he received acknowledgment from a human who wasn’t rem because he was so relieved to be accepted as a being who could live amongst them once everyone woke up :( seeing all that actually makes his feelings of betrayal/anger and desire for vengeance once they find tesla even more understandable, and i wish they had shown more of his perspective, but maybe it’s being saved for season two? they didn’t show this to us until like 8 volumes into the manga after all

Joining in because I do love to hate on kenneth brananagh. That being said, Emma Thompson is a queen and she carries that much ado film (which is probably his best shakespeare mostly because of her)

SOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING TRUE. we watched that much ado in my english class in high school and her fucking POWERS...
