if someone is talking about how much they love their parents do not jump in and start venting about your issues with your parents. if someone is venting about their issues with their parents do not jump in and start talking about how much you love your parents. peace and love amen swag city

#peach rambles #hall of fame i guess #anyway if you don’t know what to say in the former case #just say ‘aw that’s nice!/that’s cool!’ or ask a follow-up question. like ‘how often does [good thing] happen?’#people love being asked questions about themselves esp when they’re happy!#and if you don’t know what to say in the latter situation a simple ‘aw that sucks… ouch… i’m sorry’ or anything to that effect #’but that feels so fake and empty’ you’d be surprised how far little platitudes go #a bandaid and a kiss won’t heal the wound but they make you feel better #people at least like knowing that you heard them and that you want to try #you don’t have to be a poet to know what to say but just say something or at least do not say something disrespectful!

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST

#just like. it doesn’t have to be this way #the number of people I’ve talked to who would absolutely do a night schedule if it didn’t suck ass because you can never get anything done #like. go to the doctor. without waking up at your equivalent of 2am to make their latest afternoon slot #the sleep deprivation of trying to keep a normal schedule and trying to get stuff done sometimes on my natural schedule are like #the same. I started getting fevers any time I stayed up longer than 14 hours bc I had to do it so often to make appts #it’s only a little better now because I’ve been strict with a schedule that’s somewhere in the middle #so I at least have 2 hours to try and do stuff before the entire country fucks off to bed #.txt

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

#katniss everdeen #the hunger games trilogy #the hunger games #primrose everdeen #hunger games #batcavescolony reads the hunger games #suzanne collins #'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl #and this isn't negative just bffr girl #your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is #old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU #...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in #CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the #reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously #shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent #so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to #district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie #and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give #them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like #some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12 #cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact #that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good #these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the #hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to #comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but #of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

pov: you play poker game with marcille

#no but jokes aside #canonically marcille is better at lying and controlling her expressions #or at least better than laios #so lets just pretend that in this situation she's relaxed enough that she doesnt need to control her (ears') emotion #marcille donato #ears ears ears i love her ears so much #dungeon meshi #a little bit of #farcille

I dunno guys, I think he did nothing wrong ever

#dmc #devil may cry #dmc netflix #dmc netflix anime #dmc netflix spoilers #netflix dmc #netflix devil may cry #white rabbit #the white rabbit #dmc white rabbit #GENUINELY have no idea how to tag this lmao #PLEASEEE CAN HE JUST HAVE A NAME #my art #anyway. like i said in my last post i watched the anime lol #i still have mixed feelings about it though i mostly enjoyed it #it was a fine bit of entertainment and i will certainly tune in to see what happens next but it doesnt hold a candle to the og #(predictably)#i did really really really like the white rabbit tho #me when a man with beautiful brown eyes and long black hair tries to genocide humanity. whatever you say gorgeous #ANYWAY if you hated the anime pls dont leave lol i only have like one more piece of art to get out of my system about it #and then ill be back to just og dmc #i hope future seasons give us more to chew on re: spardacest #bc tbh thinking on it the anime was FINE but my main gripe is the no interaction between dv #i think its objectively a better written story than the reboot but i enjoy the reboot more #bc at least i can grab my little dolls and make them kiss #and thats all i have to say on that lol

Queen Cersei Lannister

absolutely never would have anticipated how many times i’d end up drawing cersei when I first started asoiaf but over time she has cemented herself as one of my favorite characters…

i’m forever revisiting my own designs, so here’s a second attempt at Cersei’s ruby mourning dress and a first attempt at her in her hunting greens when she goes to meet with Ned. I think hunting greens implies menswear, but I’m not certain and I could be misinterpreting…? either way I think it is more reasonable for trying to be stealthy so that’s the route I took…

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #cersei lannister #my art #I like this interpretation of the mourning dress better even though it’s less accurate. it fits better w the style of briennes dress #kind of a fusion of a gown and a houppelande. a little silly but I think it works #personally I don’t like tudor asoiaf fashion I think its too modern but that’s just me. so i’ve tried to make the descriptions work within #the scope of more medieval styles #or at least. fantasy medieval styles #I had a sketch of her post walk of atonement on this page but I couldn’t color it right so I abandoned it for now #maybe i’ll finish it later

I know the classic design stuff is supposed to be all sillies. But I do wonder if classic Stone misses home sometimes, misses his Life.

At the end of the day, he doesn't know Robotnik. Doesn't really have the context to the man, nor why he got brought there. He saw someone that? Looked like him? And a man who looked like this Robotnik fellow? And they kidnapped him and brought him there and...

Idk, I feel like there's a weird angst niche in this crack au?

The sad thing is that he really doesn't.

Stone mentioned that he couldn't imagine another version of himself being happy without having met the Doctor. He was right. Classic Stone didn't actually have anything going on. He lived in the Star Light Zone, he talked to the bomb badniks every now and then, and he prepared lots of coffees and drinks, but he had no friends nor any real hobby. He was just... bored.

While he was, indeed, kidnapped and taken to Eggman, Stone is free to leave. No one has said as much, but he knows this. What he doesn't know is that, if he does leave, Eggman will probably stalk him not so subtly. But he won't stop him from leaving. He has decided to stay because he's curious about this whole thing, and a bit amused by how awkward Eggman is around him. Stone hasn't even asked questions about why he was taken to this man, because he thinks the mystery is fun.

I also used this as an apportunity to draw Stone in the Star Light Zone.

ko-fi

#ask ask ask #meet the classics #stobotnik #i mean kinda?#agent stone #angst? in my silly little comics? it's more likely than you think #stone was very very lonely before this #i actually drew eggman untying his hands a way to show that he CAN leave #he just chose not to because #eh nothing better to do #at least this is something new #he's not yet particularly fond of eggman but he does think he's nice and funny #and maybe a bit cute #i'm always hiding angst in the jokes u just gotta find it

Aaravos with his first child: *loves her so deeply, profoundly devastated for a century after she's unfairly killed, causes chaos for centuries after*

Aaravos with his second child: Fuck this little freak lol

#tdp #tdp s6 #tdp s6 spoilers #the dragon prince #the dragon prince s6 #like he loved leola so so much (dont blame him she seemed so so precious and sweet and loving and adorable) but with sir sparklepuff he was #like 'hes a freak. you need to kill him to save your life :)' i didnt expect him to care about kids at all for how casually he told viren #to kill sir #and well. at least we now know he wasnt lying. sir really WAS viren's kid. imagine claudia finding out that thing is actually technically #her half sibling. like she just lost her leg. now this. then learns she has to slaughter said little sibling to save her dad and does it #without complaint. what a fuckin night jesus christ #aaravos #leola #sir sparklepuff #like 'he's our son!! now kill him ❤️'#did aaravos explain what occurred for sir to be the kid of him and viren or was he just like 'hes our child. hes legit the child of viren #and i. no more details just kill him to save your dad :)' props to claudia with all of that going on at once i would have had a full mental #break for like a week that is Too Much all at once #she actually kept it together way better than i would have tbh. like 'can you just kill be too i cant take anymore of this shit my brain is #about to crack into two'#dragon lady letters

the fact that they made the gameplay mechanics actually lean more on solving puzzles and strategy because her element is wisdom

#I LIKE THAT A LOT ACTUALLY like that makes a lot of sense #thats not saying link doesnt use his head in dungeons but when u play as him it relies a lot on physical ability #even botw and totk with the scaling mountains and stuff feels like smth you can’t exactly do as zelda #or at least it would feel a little out of character??#so this is a really nice change of pace I can’t wait to play it #OH AND THEY KEPT THE BOTW ZORA DESIGNS I think this works way better to tell them apart from river zora #yapping #echoes of wisdom #loz #loz echoes of wisdom #Nintendo direct

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

#butch #lgbtqia #lesbian #its me im butches doing stereotypically feminine work #when I was nannying full time I kind of thought of it as I was doing Nanny Gender #like especially bc I wore mostly dresses then for practicality reasons #which gave me The Dysphorias but yeah. my way of navigating that was to get a little fluid with it.#also even tho they don’t get perceived as such: all of these jobs are as physically demanding as many ‘physical’ jobs #like girly at least when I worked in a warehouse/delivery bay I got to sit down #look I could probably think of a better term than ‘physical labour’ but like. you know what I mean.#anyway. sometimes you have those I am uncomfortable when we are not about me moments #and then you remember that you can just go talk about your experience
