thinking about rafe & coryo & anakin & astarion and how imo their inherrent appeal (if you pick up on any) is supposed to be in the fact that something is extremely wrong with them (or they aren’t meant to have any appeal at all). bc i don’t understand the stans who are so selective with reading and hearing they try to argue otherwise like were you so blinded you ignored the glaringly & obviously bad things about them??????? rafe & coryo & anakin later especially?????????
#thinking about hannah’s posts about rafe and how he’s portrayed vs how he’s seen#‘it’s in the potential’ ‘i can fix him’ zuko’s redemption arc and it’s consequences on media consumers#NOT EVERY BITCH CAN BE HIM#some characters cannot (within canon) be redeemed accept it and fuck him about it anyways#to clarify i fw with the trope of he’s less awful to you but i love when its still mentioned how sick he is and you should rlly be grateful#astarion in a dark urge playthrough likes animal cruelty#most times anakin kills its in large numbers and hes extremely obsessive#coryo knowingly takes joy in starving others and playing with them like a snake does a rat etc etc#one of the most knowingly sadistic inhumane characters and you can’t really make him give a fuck#rafe is arguably incestuous and a void for drugs who will leech off of you like a parasite if you stay with him despite everything#etc etc etc.#they’re reactionary the world pivots around their emotions and in most situations i believe they’d kill you before they let you go#they’re the sun in the way that in their own universe they are the center of it and they’ll eventually collapse in on themselves#bc they’re burning up themselves and those around them but for the time being its give them enough of a high to live off of#*it gives#astarion is more covert maybe on purpose#and if you don’t know his ea backstory i think you’ll just gloss over a lot anyway but he’s a bitch regardless and he serves himself#and later you but no one else#like imo even with the spawn ending he’s not treating everybody like he’d treat himself and you#tw animal cruelty#tw murder#(mainly)#📜.scrolls

...So is patreon's newest spat with apple going to mean the proper end of the rate lock I got grandfathered into? Because that seems annoying as fuck.
#the magician cries#hello hi i despise apple's fucking 30% profit policy and i hate that they are big enough that companies whose sites should arguably#be fucking desktop based and not so reliant on the app#(hi i might be in the minority of Uses Patreon Almost Exclusively On Desktop except for the One Podcaster I follow)#anyways I made sure to set that fucker up back before the rate increase because they promised not to change it#and guess what you cannot move over to if you want to keep that rate lock? SUB BILLING!#guess what they are forcing a transition to? SUB BILLING#don't quote me i need to like. find someone who has actually done the digging and explained how this will work#but pre-emptively i am annoyed about that shit#oh boohoo if enough people don't switch over they will take us out of the app store#MAYBE#MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE TRYING TO ARGUE THAT APPLE TAKING 30% OF YOUR PROFITS MEANING YOU CHARGE PATRONS EXTRA FOR PHONE SUBS#IS UNETHICAL AND SHADY AS FUCK

one thing about me is that there will always be a very sad guy who's doomed by the narrative & there will always be the familial polycule or whatever so desperately trying to save them & the family n polycule's actions will always have world-rending consequences which either make things better or worse depending on where my mental health is at during the time of writing. this is something you must understand about every heart project i have ever worked on or become attached to since the dawn of time.
#gansey. hennessy. luz. hunter. psii. sollux. signless. darius's mentor. devin. I Love My Doomed Guys.#If They Arent Doomed Enough In Their Canon I Will AU Them Into Misery My Damn Self#every novel-length project i've ever completed has unintentionally had the same formula#there are four guys. one is dying faster than the others who are also dying.#you gotta save the splintering wreck of a person. you can't save them in a way that matters. you still have to try.#the original fiction quartet. wwaitsoatl. princess luz AU. soulmate verse. trc vampire AU. bota. toag. and so on.#the princess AU is arguably an outlier bc it's two (or three counting amity) core cast members#and then the fourth guy is belos or raine or camila or somebody else depending on the installation.#everything else though. Four Guys. Four Guys Whose Lives Are In The Shitter Forever. Or Something#four is all you need!! to get a really really really fucked up story going!!

ok so anyway while were on the topic of fanfiction it pisses me off to no fucking end when fanfic authors depict papyrus as some naive gullible sweet innocent little kid who doesnt know or understand anything, ESPECIALLY if its a fic dealing with monster racism and xenophobia. ive seen so many fucking fanfics talking about that where papyrus is written as some sort of innocent ball of sunshine who cant understand the harsh reality he lives in....... like shut the FUCK UP!!!!! he KNOWS!!! the thing is hes SMART and KIND and WILL NOT LET YOU BE MEAN TO HIM!!!!!! thats why he reacts positively even if you pick the mean dialogue options in the game!!! he KNOWS youre trying to hurt his feelings but he wants to be your friend SO BAD he LITERALLY will not let you!!!!! and it works!!!!!! hes not stupid!!!!! you guys are just ableist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#cherry chats#IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAD............... 'hes just a sweet precious cinnamon roll uwu' SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!#hes not a child. hes not stupid. hes arguably more observant than sans. but unlike sans hes not overwhelmingly cynical#he believes in people and he believes in kindness and he STICKS TO THAT!!!!!!!!!#fics writing about monster racism where any character is like 'no... we cant tell our wee babe papyrus about that‚ he cant understand'#make me wanna kill someone for real#people who infantalize papyrus are my mortal fucking enemies i swear to god. i swear to fucking god#like if frisk‚ an ACTUAL child‚ can somehow be mature enough to be the monster ambassador#then i guarantee papyrus‚ an adult‚ can grasp the concept of racism#sometimes......... its painfully obvious when someone doesnt think autistic people can be competent functioning adults. huh.#kills you with one thousand god damn laserbeams

genuinely always so shocked to see mirei hate. like literally god forbid women do anything.
#y5 haters in general... does playable haruka mean nothing to you...#DOES SHINADA TATSUO MEAN NOTHING TO YOU...#for legal reasons this is a joke people are allowed to feel however they want about whatever it's just viddy games#and i fully acknowledge y5 and its litany of flaws#of which there are certainly enough for any given individual to justifiably dislike/hate its entirety but I AM A Y5 LOVER THRU AND THRU#saejima's arc is just an arguably less interesting rehash of the one he had in 4?#(jail; jailbreak; betrayed by his lil buddy guy#but now we're sans the interesting character stuff of his feelings regarding the hit. & also i miss his hair.#& that's not even to say i think saejima is boring in y5 i think there's some interesting subtext to take away from his character#unique to this entry but it's pretty hard to deny how much is literally just y4 again but now he's bald)#BUT WHO GAFS he got buffed to hell gameplay-wise and punches bears now#and also baba's a great character and he doesn't have to do a whole chase minigame if a cop sees him anymore#bloated/unfocused feeling in general to the game?#WELL THAT'S JUST MORE CONTENT BABY!!! only a real issue if you're a completionist imo#+ are u telling me you don't wanna drive a taxi? u don't wanna play a video game in which the goal is to drive as normally as possible?#and i loveeeee multiple protagonists yay <3 y0 y4 and y5 are my favs so far lol (up to y6)#kiryu's inclusion in y5 also feels way more justified than in y4. he was so tacked on there i'm trying to remember what he even really did#other than tiger dropping as a boss fight before instantly forgetting how to tiger drop the second he became playable#and losing track of yasuko and getting tag-teamed by akiyama and tanimura (cough) and beating up daigo#but in exchange akiyama becomes the protag that feels kinda tacked on in y5. way less so than kiryu in y4 tho for sure#anyway. weird/strangely justified plot beats? WELL THAT'S JUST EVERY YAKUZA GAME#an arguably strange/poor writing choice for majima especially given how he ended up being written in y0?#well honestly other than the age thing i think it makes him more interesting... he's kinda fucked up!#but i do get why people are /really/ not a fan of it. ik i just said i think it makes him more interesting but if it gets retconned#or even just never mentioned again i wouldn't be surprised tbh and i wouldn't say that i'd mind either#but additionally he's not even a major character in y5 so it feels like it's not really a significant complaint imo#anyway anyone can do this ('this' being acknowledging the flaws of a thing and then letting how much they otherwise enjoy#said thing determine how much they let said flaws influence their overall opinion) ...such is the beauty of subjectivity... i love you.#contra.txt#yakuza

there is truly something in the air abt getting my first hate comment on breaking patterns/mending threads two years after i finished writing it, and that it happens to be during one of the worst periods of my life
#don't even know what to tag this as#it's not personal bc arguably it's what this blog is for in the first place#but i don't want it showing up in my fandom tags#i don't even want to mention the comment itself bc it's not on them for being upset that i ended it the way i did#but there is something so triggering abt phrasing it as being 'disgusted'#about something very emotional that i honestly relate more to today than i did when i wrote it#if it feels like that whole fic was a projection of certain emotions#it probably was#a dissection of what i write about vs my personal life draws very clear emotional similarities#i've grown a tough skin abt legitimate criticisms on my writing#in fact i genuinely like being told the ways in which my writing is shit#so that i can improve it#but something abt this being abt the fic being too depressing#and having hope but not necessarily happiness#and having that relate to disgust abt the way i presented something that contains emotions that i have felt#and continue to feel bc life is a fucking nightmare and yeah i relate to the impoverished fucking asshole with the desire for affection#it's exhausting to experience this sort of thing even in a fandom space#where expressing my feelings is still not realistic or palatable enough#i get that people have triggers but i put trigger warnings in every single chapter#and you can't put a trigger warning in a comment#or know that i'm having a particularly bad time#it just reminds me why i stopped actively participating in fandom anyway#like i said. triggering

Trying to keep a lid on it but. Yeah. Literally don’t know what’s it like to NOT be platonically neglected IRL my whole damn life, only that I know this One Person doesn’t deserve to be at the epicenter of it anymore than I deserved to have been at the epicenter of theirs a year ago now.
…why am I like this. Why are we like this.
#tiger’s roar#…but like. good god. someone being Actually Genuinely KIND and insisting they DO like my company and want my friendship#(and is arguably mutually attracted and THOSE feelings of mine and what I’m picking up from them just won’t DISPELL already)#just. really stirs the muck. gets at that emotional constipation in my brain’s grease trap#then having TWICE now having Activities Suggested and THIS Time in FRONT of people then like…never following through?#all but thinking aloud with planning to witnesses things that sound less like hanging out and more like a date#and then just…not doing it?#when the Reality is Apparently Too Busy?#us fighting earlier this year over quality time essentially#when all I want is to have like. maybe an hour or two once a week or once a month#to enjoy someone else’s company. get a fucking REPRIEVE from my life#that’s…that’s it? nothing grand. just have the time found where it can be without causing strain?#I’m actually NOT a romantic even when I have romantic feelings? they just make me yearn for basic contact all the more#I’ll always be ‘too platonic’ within a romantic relationship so no it’s never going to be an ‘expectation’#MAYBE the one with unrealistic expectations is the guy who watches romance films and struggles with AllorNothing thinking perhaps?#and…yeah. trying to not feel resentful of their time spent this summer with existing friends when apparently not working 20+ hrs a week#in addition to their own research and god knows what else#…because it feels like there’s no space for me. and probably never will be. and I have never been ‘cool’ a day in my life#sure I own it as an adult. especially a 30s adult.#but having people recognize me as kind and supportive and easy to talk to 1:1 (my group aqauaintance/casual friendships SUCK)#but. basically never getting to keep any of them as friends? quickly ditched? treated like a used bandaid?#it…gets to me alright? like I only exist as Catch/Treat/Release but for people#which sure. the friend I’m angry at HAS been frustrated about me deserving better. looks at me like I’m christmas.#and I’m now fairly close friends with their beloved sibling. and despite things having THE Worst Start Ever their family seems to trust me#…but…it’s just…think I deserve better? think I’m worthy of your esteem and respect? think I’m kind and approachable?#want me to feel safe and relaxed enough to be myself? then just…do better.#ask when I’m available to kill a few hours then…follow through on that. that’s it.#not all the time. and my ‘expectation’ is to always be either neglected or used and feeling jaded about it#just…a repreive. for both of us. that’s it.

having terminal narwhal brainrot is kinda the worst actually bc. sometimes my brain just gets Stuck on all these tiny things and observations that are Very Funny Indeed but also like. i have no actual clue whether its Intended to be significant at all in terms of implication or if im just losing it but its rent free either way and its not going away like. take this one for a completely coincidental example i definitely havent had swirling around my head rent free for like the last 3 weeks nopers no way uhhhhh
so act I of fontaine AQ right???? first narwhal mentions we get from childe in the story???
"it" right?? which like fine yeah makes sense. mysterious massive eldritch sea creature wouldnt consider that out of place for a choice of pronoun. in no small part prolly due to ajax just taking after skirk in terms of how she refers to and views the narwhal. its not rly carrying any connotation of personhood and/or sentience purely in terms of the language used
Now. if its such an unsurprising choice. why am i fixated on this
WELL. lets say purely hypothetically. wouldnt it be like. really funny if after Multiple languages. explicitly went for a non-human moniker when it comes to childe speaking about the narwhal. that he would then like. possibly. the Second they make actual direct and personal telepathic connection with one another. pull a complete 180 on that. in like act III mayhaps
"someone" calling him??????
Like. isnt it Interesting. that he went from "it". to IMMEDIATELY assigning explicit personhood to whatever originated that whalesong call.
Its telepathic connection. Right??? like these mfs are Literally in each others heads. right??? and yet. Somehow. PURELY off of that call that single moment of fleeting impression and feeling that gravitational pull towards one another. youre Instinctively assigning sentience personhood and character to that voice. Huh
(so based and narwhalpilled ajax i knew you were a truther and an ally)
and like what makes me fixate on this so much and not just go oh its prolly nothing is just. they didnt HAVE to write it that way right??? they couldve made it "something calling me..." . or even for intentional ambiguity something like "i hear a call somewhere..." . but Nooooooo its. someone. they made ajax go from "it" to "someone". in the exact span it took for him to make direct metaphysical contact with his narwhal.
obviously like. yes ive made my case against the "lmao dumb pet that overeats" misconception Many Times Before for obvious reasons bc thats My beloved and theres Plenty enough canon material even excluding this one to very much suggest the narwhal is indeed a fully sentient immortal being capable of complex thought i just. for ajax of all people to seemingly note that so instinctively the moment they make contact as well............
yeah let me scream real quick thanks im just. HHHHHHHHHH these 2 kill me irl
and NO its not just english i triple checked. like first i checked german and that shit goes from es/etwas to jemand. non-human to explicitly person-specific
(beyond the obvious. whale as a masculine noun)
& then w chinese obviously not a speaker but i took the same lines from project ambr, got the translation and pinyin with google and as long as im not missing sth huge and/or wikipedia isnt lying about how chinese pronouns work. its explicitly non-human 3rd person to very much person-specific interrogative "who" too.
so like. that sure is a very specific and curious choice to make with the writing. multiple times. in multiple languages. when there very much were Multiple very easy ways to write it Not in such a way. for the one (1) guy with undeniably the closest and most personal bond to the narwhal. to say That. in response to its call. its just a little bit of an inch resting detail to have. just a bit
yeah ajax mister im actually going to need you to explain this one to the class as well in addition to all the OTHER shit you have the audacity to spew thanks
#like what the fuck man.#and keep in mind we. STILL. have literally 0 account of whatever the hell went down between these 2 in the primordial sea#beyond them throwing hands . for all that time. bc ajax has said jack shit on the matter and how he experienced it .#bc like the thing im asking is. if your connection is enough for such an impression. that a sense of personhood is Immediately assigned#how fucking much of that whalecall is literally just. straight up intelligible communication. to him. were they talking shit the entire tim#AND in case of like oh the call was probably surtalogi/focalors trying to get him to the narwhal all according to keikaku. might i remind#that in the cutscene . itself. you LITERALLY hear a whalecall as 'i hear... someone calling me...' appears like this isnt among us.#theres no multiple suspects its not really a question as to WHOSE call that is.#also skirks demeanor if anything suggests that ajax ran into the narwhal sooner than was supposed to#since she expects to be reprimanded by surtalogi for letting said 'blunder' happen. so theres that as well#like this is sth nobody registers but so far theres arguably 1 singular action we know the narwhal has done explicitly of its own free will#and not simply its instinct to consume a planets life force etc or sth forced upon it by surtalogi taking it as a pet#and that one. is. seeking out ajax at that specific time. like That was a priority for whatever reason#and when it called to him at that moment the nature of that call was such that he immediately sensed soul and sentience in it.#its so over its so rent free...............................#please kiss im going to die#childeposting#oh also. ig if ur arguing the 'someone' sensed is the shadow within the narwhal not the narwhal . its like okay fine that can be argued#but surtalogi or focalors is kind of a stretch im sorry lol#narwhalposting#genshin#rambles

"Why are you still up?"
You peel your eyes away from your phone and make eye contact with Eight, who's looking at you curled in on yourself on the couch with no small amount of worry, and a good helping of exasperation, too.
"Waiting. What if Four needs me."
"You can't help him like that. What if they need you tomorrow and you're too tired to help because you stayed up all night?"
"I-- I'll still help, no matter what."
You keep making glances back down at your phone during this conversation, as if there'll suddenly be a text from your friend at any moment, asking for you to come to his rescue, that your phone somehow didn't notify you of.
"Don't do that, you're going to drive yourself crazy."
Eight steps closer towards you and offers you a hand.
"Come on. We're going to bed."
You begin to reach out, then waver. "What if he needs me and I'm sleeping."
"Your ringer is on. And I messaged them too, so if you don't answer they can call me. Come on," she repeats, gesturing her hand towards you once more, then adding, a whisper, "You know I can't just let you do this to yourself."
You know she didn't mean it like that, but the way she says it makes guilt well up inside you.
"'M sorry," you whisper back, and take their hand.
You practically cling onto Eight as she leads you into the bedroom, only removing yourself from them to sit on the bed. Her fingers linger on your hand for a moment, then pull away.
"I actually got up to use the restroom, I'll be right back. Get comfy." And then she's gone.
You don't get comfy. You can't help it; you're drawn back to obsessively checking your phone for any sign of a message that obviously isn't there, even going so far as drafting a message to Marie asking if she's heard from Four when Eight returns.
"Three," they say from the door, and then move closer. "I said stop that." Fingers under your chin gently tilt your head upward to meet her gaze, and then she kisses you, long and soft, and despite your worry, you melt into it.
Her hand moves to caress your cheek, and it takes several long moments for her to begin to slowly pull away. When she does, you realize it's not only your lips that are empty, but also your hands. Eight makes their way around to their own side of the bed, your phone in hand.
"You absolute siren," you say affectionately. "I need that."
"No," she says as she settles into bed, placing your phone next to hers on her nightstand. "I'll keep tabs for you. Two phones means twice the chance to be woken up if Four calls."
She takes your shoulder and coaxes you to lay down next to her, then hugs you close to herself.
"Your job is to sleep now."
And somehow, despite being absolutely fucking sick with anxiety, with the love of your life holding you close and caressing your hair, your eyes eventually slip closed, and you do manage to do the job you've been assigned.
#exposition#ANOTHER ONE how do i do it#this one is arguably even worse written than the other one bc it's fucking. 12:30 and i'm ABOUT TO GO TO BED#but i felt like writing it#i do see eight as being VERY matter of fact and to the point so i hope i conveyed it well enough in this midnight drabble jflkdajfkda#also dw squit will be fine they're just extremely worried about four#who will ALSO be fine#idk if i'll be up for writing the resolution SOON but i WILL TRY#just in a really writey mood tonight huh#also noting that some people do still call them three. mostly eight who uses three and captain interchangeably for them#they don't really care they're fine with it

mild problem encountered: he's too fucking tall
#soda offers you a can#i knew the tails would absolutely be an issue but this is arguably much worse of an outcome hrngh#i already scaled him down to check the proportions btw if i scale him down further those get all fucked up#i think what needs to happen is some careful adjusting in edit mode to fix the body's height#everything else /should/ work fine enough if their locations are adjusted. i hope

Part of being Canadian is how similar we are to the US, and honestly not a single person on earth I think could genuinely pin point the difference between Canadian and American culture but the average Canadian. Americans assume we're the same as them (we aren't), even a bunch of Canadians think we're Americans, especially around voting seasons, and about half our cultural identity is "we're Not American!" but there are some cultural differences and if we all spoke French equally we could have had a language distinction but nooooo. Despite not being America unfortunately such a fuck off massive country right below your teeny tiny ass country (population wise) does result in a cultural avalanche from said fuck off massive country. Especially when you share a language.
The war of 1812 will forever be funny to me though because Americans were like "hmm maybe Canadians would also like to tell the British to fuck off, we will invade to show them!" And Canada was like *burns down the white house* and we've been tentatively chill with each other ever since lmao (even when we probably like. Shouldn't be cool with America but like. We could not risk that implosion politically or otherwise it'd be suicide).
#winters ramblings#apparently americans think they won the war of 1812 and you did not. you did not achieve your goal#and a bit over 100 years later canada would nicely ask sempi to be free and britian decided yeah i guess#you guys did a vimmy ridge in WW1 i guess you can be yourselves#and native people- still unable to vote and would be ineligible for another some 50 years or so- were probably like ??!!!!?!!!#REMOVE these pale faced demons!! and i cant say i blame them for that even if my settler ass does not mind being from here#no fucked up spiders very few fucked up bugs ok seasons amd weather where *I* live anyway#i cant complain too much aint no spiders the size of my head OR fucked up weirdo beez on steroids that look like some feckin#HUNGER GAMES ass shit and not an earth bug. if i lived on either coast though my opinion would be different#especially the east coast FUCK their ocean-y assed winters lake effect is bad enough. the SNOW BELT is bad enough#i cando without that shite too although outwest aint better especially in the praries but still no fucked up bugs so 🤷🏻♀️#anyway i do genuinely believe if youre not canadian you wouldnt even know the difference between America and Canadian culture#OR the difference of history and even CANADIANS dont know our voting system isnt the same#like we dont even have half the shit Americans do like an electoral college and canadians STILL think we need to vote#as if we're in a 2 party system. we arent. arguably were in a 4 party system but 3 if you reasonably dont count Greens#its fuckin weird though because youll see people talk about canada and america interchangeably#and like i cant evenblame em when even some canadians get confused or WORSE actually WANT to be america#usually conservatives who like deepthroating boot#although i do think this is somewhat odd as a phenomenon because America doesn't have ONE culture#what canada is near idential to is NORTHERN Americans like the south is a whole Thing with a textured history#like obviously the north is too but culturally i get that more than what the south has going because you could even argue#the south have MULTIPLE cultures and in the north you could at least argue the coasts are distinct culturally#like they got terms like pacific north west we dont have ANY of that we are an EXTREMELY small rural country#its strange to confise it with America but at the same time like. yeah that makes perfect sense to me. and not all at once lol

fr if taylor and philip don't kiss then what's this all been about. (the entire series of billions) what is it all for
#and it's so damn plausible....#billions Does go ''this character's doing better :)'' by having them dating someone which = they kissed (& possibly also then fucked)#and taylor has over & over chosen other priorities over what's good just for Business or Power. why wouldn't they now#starting tmc was for themself & was an obviously super risky business move Not guaranteed more lucrative than staying w/axe#but they had to do it b/c they personally couldn't bear to keep operating that way as axe's begrudgingly more compensated tool#to use whenever however he wanted....end of s4 obviously made the pivot away from not only profits but hypothetical Personal Revenge....#end of s5 again they gotta Not be axe's tool. arguably dumping lauren was a redirect of what they could've done re their personal#relationship with wendy; the more longstanding one there & the one most poised to fuck more shit up for them even now....#s6 they're still just awaiting their chance to break out; they've handed themself the memo of ''don't date someone based on being trapped i#the inescapable escape room together b/c you both decide not to pursue more of a life outside the escape room than that''#(which; like wendy not going to superhell being like ''lol. ok Sure she prudently wouldn't'': rian shouldn't be dying to date taylor b/c#neither of them have ever been shown enjoying each other's company very much or for more than 5 seconds; but if for some reason that's not#enough and if she's fired off zero thoughts abt why it's a shit idea to slap the zillionaire politician boss man twice your age's bald head#then i don't believe she'd sagely & so much respect warrantingly turn taylor down. but it's pretty clear that rian's motivations are Only#gonna ever be whatever the [other character's plotlines] in any given scene would be conveniently helped along by. amazing)#meanwhile philip has chosen to be here but he's very much Not just like ''ok guess i'll go in the escape room'' with it#doesn't work for taylor or vice versa; Chose to work With taylor And vice versa#they Do both choose to interact and Do both find it enriching; already unlike taylor interacting with rian#& already p much outdoing the development of taylaur or the mistake that was [not just banging oscar once if you're gonna bother at all]#(or at least making it a ''we'll hook up if you're on my coast'' maximizing Convenience cwb situation) (colleagues)#it's so Enriched overall already like. this has to be Important#and we'll take ''it is important'' and please In A Good Way#and billions is perfectly liable to make it a matter of kissing into dating into your personal stonks being up#winston billions#taylip#just looking at those images like....c'mon

@ that one friend who cries on my shoulder all night, wanting comfort and advice, but the moment i am troubled it's "lol, ok."
there's some kind of beauty in it. and i can't even be mad. i'll always be there to help, even if not reciprocal. and i am beyond happy to. because i fucking care and love. too much. (not to discount that they do, too.) and if i can do anything to help, then i will damn well try.
it'd be nice to count on them, as well. of course. but it's not a prerequisite. not expected. it used to be. now i realize most relationships don't seem to work on equal mutualism.
i'll be a rock in a hard place.
that's fine.
#i know the saying is between a rock and a hard place but my brain finds a rock in a hard place fun#you can't expect everyone to see these things the same way#maybe their support is deflection- try to get my mind off of it#honestly.. anything they could day wouldn't fix my problems either way so idk what i'm expecting#maybe it's actually better that they don't try#i don't even know#i don't really care#i've always been more give than take anyways#i used to get so upset about these things but i'm tired of it#people don't view relationships the same and while it's forced me to be too detached and too aloof at times it's#arguably probably made me a better friend#because passion is the death of reason#and i work best on reason because my passion is hurt and unhinged#i just wish it felt a little less.. cold#i can't tell if this is a good or a bad take because i woke up still drunk and i have. work in 2 hours. fuck my life#4 hours of sleep is not enough#personal#this goes out to kvn. you are brilliant but also an ass.

I have zero respect for or interest in a creator who's not interested in saying something sincere sorry
#I'm not saying that's what hs is bc obviously I haven't read it and we're still early on#but in general comedy and ironic humor that doesn't actually say anything besides 'look how cool and detatched and smart I am'#the marvel effect....#it just fucking sucks#mob psycho it up!!!!!#arguably iasip does this sometimes but it's undercut by genuine moments of love and camraderie AND it's funny enough#to usually get away with it#if anything I'd rather works be TOO sincere#also 'im not being bigoted I because I KNOW im being bigoted' shut up#cor.txt

My favourite thing ever right now is making characters look stressed as HELL. Your honour I need to explore what different kinds of people look like at their most vulnerable!! Favourite examples are thus:
Charley is HEARTBROKEN
Inkling is FIGHTING
Red Crab is BETRAYED
P.I is TERRIFIED
It’s so good. full images under the cut but slight blood/injury warning for Inkling (stabbed 😔)
The characters themselves I’m really proud of how they’re showing their emotions (ESPECIALLY Inkling’s expression vs Red Crab’s body language)
I also wanna point out that they’re all in scenarios practically designed FOR them. Doomed by the Narrative, these freaks are
#octonauts au character majority you know what that means#YES CHARLEY COUNTS HE’S LIVED THERE LONG ENOUGH#octonauts#hershel’s octonauts au#itzabell.u#professor inkling#blood#listen i havent posted this stuff on tumblr specifically in a while i’ll update tags as necessary when i find em on previous posts#also i just wanna point out that while inkling and p.i were both in easily avoidable situations#p.i’s was arguably MORE avoidable because That Is Straight Up God#she saw ALL the warning signs that things were gonna backfire. jumped right into universe creation anyways#i love her for that she’s an undeniably hilarious yet extremely tragic character#meanwhile inkling. all you had to do was like three things#ONE: COMPENSATE THE BETA CREW’S FAMILIES FOR THE LOSSES OF THEIR LOVED ONES#TWO: tell the current octonauts what happened BEFORE you ship off with them maybe????#THREE: for fucks sake comfort shellington about his uncle being an assassin maybe idk just be CLOSE to the poor guy#fun fact by the way. these were originally going to be ace attorney au objection poses#like. p.i’s design here IS her ace attorney design#then i drew got to her expression and then i drew charley and it was over#anyways focushkfkd snd POST IT
