had a full on falling-apart of my brain at 4am, trying to muster the will and plan how to contain a roach (American),
so naturally as soon as i wake up i read the creature's full wikipedia page.
#i succeeded in containment#but i had to leave him under a cup on the floor#i had to go to sleep#the task sapped all my energy#now he's just over there#under the cup#and i'm so afraid of him for no reason!#it's the wings actually mostly#cockroach#american cockroach#roach#Periplaneta americana#why do they have to have wings#he was just minding his business exploring my bathroom#being entirely harmless#poor guy spent the night under a cup#phobia#roach phobia

#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Fellplates#Gaster#Papyrus#Sans#Squeeze him - he makes a squeaky toy noise#Everyone needs to bite Gaster! He doesn't yield like flesh so it probably doesn't even hurt right? Yeahhhh he'll be fiiiine#There is something very funny to me about him just sitting there and taking it tho lol - feeds into his martyr play ♪#As if I don't already have a favourite martyr hmmm don't worry about it lol#What was he even doing why is he just letting 2-P bite him lol#Socialization? That's not a good thing to just let him do! He's still got a young mind! Boundaries are important#He does offer a way out - hehe ♫ - but he doesn't enforce it! You're setting them up for failure#Hehehehe#The bone gift was fun to doodle hehe ♪ He leaves it with him and it goes completely untouched while his arm is covered in teeth-marks pfft#Even with Papyrus a bit more unruly I still like to imagine he acts mean in largely harmless ways haha#Like yeah he's being naughty and biting when he knows better and offered other options - Gaster. Gentle enforcement - but he's not Hurting#He's not using his entire bite force - probably lol or he's just got weak little baby bites (though those can be quite painful!)#Sans on the other hand would absolutely go 100% full power - and still only do 1HP lol what an unfortunate design quirk for him#If only he had a jaw he could open! He'd bite the heck outta Gaster! Alas#I do like to imagine Fellplates!Sans has just fast-tracked to classic's conclusion of ''You suck and I hate you. Die'' about Gaster lol#Even the possibility of not being mean to him is so alien! What do you /mean/ not hurt you?? Do you know who you're talking to??#He'll find another way to mess with him in good time haha

Rice. From my plot that's literally just a game of chess. (he's a rook)
#my characters#CHESS BABIES#they actually had a tag here and i adore it bc it was in caps lock for a while#no idea why it was in caps but whatever it was thems the rules#rice has a younger sister named turnip and shes a pawn and then his coworker rook is a guy named cakes#and cakes has a huuuuuuge crush on him and doesnt think to hide it so rice just kinda puts up with it and then somehow#they meet with one of the white knights and are like well he seems mostly harmless#and since they dont attack or try to kill him he decides hes actually in love with rice as well so cakes is like oh no#im going to lose my years long crush to some foreign guy#but the white knight is just vibing cause out of the entire white army he has the least stake in it bc he was born in the land of red#so he doesnt really care but since one of his parents was a white native he got recruited kinda#look it sounds so bad to have colored nations and them being white black and red#but its chess i swear and my dad had a REALLY FUCKING NICE wooden chess set when i was a kid#and it was AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL and each piece had red felt on the bottom to about scuffing the pretty wood board#anyway thats where the neutral land idea came from - all of his pieces had SOME red on them#and now i gotta go to work for more video orientation#guys theres been so many videos in the past two days#i have no energy for art#i have so many things i wanna draw but i havent managed to actually do anything yet#i need a fuckin schedule.....

realized today that I'm so done being embarrassed by my puppy's normal harmless age-appropriate behaviours
#sorry i cant hear your unsolicited advice over the sound of her awroo-ing#because its the best day of her entire life#this is specifically about like wriggling and sticking her leggies out#(NOT like lunging or barking at dogs etc)#this is specifically harmless behaviour im managing thats lightly annoying#i spent so much time being embarrassed by mavs jubilant personality#i cant go that route with rory too#oh in puppy class she wants to make heart eyes at the teacher instead of practicing sit?#no problem shes four months old#oh she wants to worm around on a snuffle mat instead of use it properly?#yeah its fine shes four months old?#shes very sweet and very dumb its fine shes literally four months old#she will get there eventually#i wont be embarrassed about her age appropriate behaviours in appropriate settings#interestingly i think i internalized this before i really realized it#i havent been embarrassed about a single thing shes done so far#and i was constantly embarrassed about mav at this age so#hashtag character development

telling a joke on tumblr about class politics in p.g. wodehouse books is fun but watch out! if it gets over 1000 notes your joke is automatically exposed to people who have read ring for jeeves fewer than five times
#nobody in the entire world understands wodehouse’s politics as accurately as i do smh 😔#/j#this isn’t serious i’m just being a bitchy hater#besties i understand that there’s a degree of satirizing going on but he still saw the aristocracy as mostly harmless#and wanted it to continue existing in the same way ad infinitum#i know that’s hard to accept but accept it we must#which is what the post was about lmao

i have politely asked the fractals to leave but they keep reappearing and frankly it is quite bad considering the entire research department has vertigo now
- Jacob Moore (@goodwitchorasandwich)
Oh, bother. Um, I'll call pest control for you, hopefully they can take care of it? Please keep everyone from the windows, and let's hope this can be solved quickly. Don't let anyone go home, if they isolate themselves I'm afraid they might get targeted without us being able to get to them in time.
You did the right thing, it always pays to be polite, but the fractals are often possessed of a strong spirit of contradiction and they often end up doing whatever it is they want.
#/ooc pest control being his murder cop contacts naturally#also meta note: yeah i know elias is supposed to be rather passive and useless about this sort of things but also#he's not gonna let an entire department fuckin die for the fun of it??#the monsters damaging his employees must be controllable and relatively harmless and that's the rule#except for artefact storage theyre on their own#tma rp#asks

tiny fandom rant
thinking abt how being an Intellectual Brown woman isolates me from fandom experiences bc since i call out orientalism/racism against swana and my people in media that makes me too "anti" but the shit id be into and ship since i was 13 would land me 100ft deep into "proship" territory....
#u see my dilemma?#too proship for the antis and too anti for the proships#i think the entire proship vs anti discourse is stupid anyway just have basic fandom etiquette#of “dont like dont read”#but also feel free to openly criticize media that u consume too bc now media is flawless#also i hate that u can call out smth racist in media but then all the white gays jump you bc u pointed out a flaw in their favorite media#like SHUT UPPPPPP#anyway the islamic symbol appropriation in legend of Zelda ocarina of time for the gerudo sparked this#and also the gerudo being basically desert thieves dressed like bastardized belly dancers like im so tired#and then on twitter i remember seeing a huge thread calling out every instance of orientalism in gacha gaming#and non brown ppl stuck their asses in saying “who cares shut up anti these are good chara designs”#like i hate yall fandom mfs soooooo much u are all so allergic to basic critical thinking#the woes of being an intellectual are so heavy on my beautiful brain and body#also racism DOES show up in your “harmless” fictional media bc EVERY MEDIA CREATED IS INFLUENCED BY POLITICS#WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!#like take a damn university social science class u stupid motherfucker

Remembering how someone once brushed off the criticism of v5 being mostly in a single room by saying "most sitcoms take place in a single room!" as if Remnant isn't an entirely new world with unique landscapes and cultures that should be explored
#rwde#the disgrace of using friends and bb9 to back up this dumb argument as if nyc isnt one of the most popular places for stories to take place#it can happen in one room bc the outside is FAMILIAR#you can glaze over things bc most people already get the gist. dont waste everyones time describing the familiar#but when the setting is so far beyond our normal - typical of fantasy and sci fi - then you absolutely NEED to go outside and touch grass#or martian dirt or radiation resistant plastic or whatever#can you imagine if star wars had taken place almost entirely in one room?#thats how stupid this claim is#i know im being petty but life is v ugh rn so whatever#tis harmless whinging#and more shock that people can excuse literally anything in this show#i know i take some shows personally but i cant imagine going this hard for anything

chnt fandom was so mean to you and for what🙁ur so cool..
i can think of a couple reasons
#the whole transfem elijah situation#saying i related to elijah in some way#everyone either hating elijah or wanting to fuck her#the people who want to fuck her get blocked#so they probably hate me for blocking them over that#the people who hate elijah are so annoying about it so im mean back to them#they hate that shit for some reason#probably dont like the million elijah drawings that much either#someone hates me because i didnt like being accused of an egg laying kink#joke or not dont accuse someone you dont know of an egg laying kink???#that one was weird#couple people on twitter hate me because my ex said something about me i genuinely dont know what i did there but#like my only context was one screenshot of a priv account who was also confused about what i did and man i took that shit to heart#like i was gone for a month that shit sucked worst depressive state i have ever been in um#theres probably a couple people who were mad about me using ai with the homophobic elijah volkov copypasta#there was someone on my strawpage a while back who got mad at me for that so at least one person is#they said “you talk alot of all ai is bad for someone who homophobic elijah volkov” or something like that#which is funny because i havent used ai at all since homophobic elijah volkov#theres probably more i cant be remembering all the shit i did man#most of it is so insanely harmless like ok u hate to see a cute girl winning#also people hate when u ship a “bad” character with a “good” character#example uh rowlijah#so yeah theres a couple reasons i can think of#hated by an entire fandom at only 14 years old what a time to be alive#to be fair most 14 year olds are annoying#this includes me#like man i look back at the shit i said from like march and man i was annoying as fuck!!!! i probably still am!!!!#but idgaf... a boy can be annoying and obnoxious and sometimes thats ok

haha people who have normal relationships with their fathers where they didn’t grow up being constantly made to feel dumb/unimportant/annoying…. what’s that like babes hahaha
#autism doesn’t make you a bad parent. unmanaged/unaddressed autism combined with a general lack of consideration for everyone around you…#now THAT will fuck your kid up.#autistic people often struggle with eye contact. that’s cool no problem i can still engage in conversation like that.#buuut when you’re four and super exited to tell your dad what you did that day and he literally doesn’t acknowledge your presence??#and it’s that across your entire LIFETIME? your entire childhood and teen years and fuck it even your adult life????? THAT SHIT SUCKS#and THEN the only times you CAN get a conversation out of him it’s an argument where he WILL not stop talking over you#and scoffing at every single word you say#and raising his voice as he tells you how stupid you’re being#ummmmmmmmmm yeeaaahhhh okie dokie. a lifetime of that might ummm… lead to a few issues.#oh wait i forgot the third category of interaction: listening to him complain about something absolutely meaningless. for 20mins.#just killing the mood of any conversation.#you’re watching tv it’s fun everyone’s having fun!! yayyy yippee isn’t this nice#and then someone on tv will say ‘up and down the country’ (goofy but harmless phrase) and suddenly all you can hear is a rant#about the banality of overused idioms and phrases.#LIKE!! can you fucking lighten up for five fucking seconds. please.#idk man. my mum and i spent our whole morning travelling out to some random shop wayyyy out of our way. requires multiple buses to get there#JUST to get him a birthday present. because we thought it was fun and cute and because it’s very personal to him.#like we built our DAY around this. we spent £120 on this. FOR HIM!! because we thought he’d enjoy it!!!!#and we’re spending all day tomorrow wrapping his presents and hand making cards and planning the cake i will be baking for him#and he gets home from work and. IMMEDIATELY starts picking a fight.#like we had a lovely day. we had SUCH a good day. and a lot of it was about doing stuff FOR HIM for HIS BIRTHDAY!!!#which we were HAPPY AND EXITED TO DO!!!!!#and he fucking ruins the whole thing.#now my mum is sleeping on the sofa because she’s so angry at the way he was talking to me and i’m typing this bullshit.#and. he just. he doesn’t care. he doesn’t get it. he literally cannot comprehend why we’re upset at him.#he can’t see anything from anyone else’s perspective. he can’t comprehend the idea that maybe just maybe HE was the one being unkind.

back on my utena bullshit and getting annoyed by ppl reducing her to just a herbo jock like. please remove your horny hat for a sec and think more about the themes of the show outside of lesbianism
#half of the dumb jock herbo shit is just utena being willfully ignorant in order to keep reinforcing her belief in princehood#people are able to digest how miki places anthy on a pure woman who needs to be saved pedestal#and utena does the same thing#granted she does it with more nuance#because utena is both a prince and a girl she can interact with anthy both as a prince and as a fellow girl#utena friendzones anthy for like the entire show#because princes and princesses are a romantic dynamic#that utena is fine indulging in in a childish way#but not seriously as an adult#just like nanami towards touga#a lot of the time in japan lesbophobia manifests in a really paternalistic way where like#its considered something girls grow out of#and utena does this with all her middle school friends#shell eat wakabas lunches and be her prince in the context of harmless girlhood#but never calls herself anthy's fiancee#and when she's in a relationship with akio she acts and dresses a lot more feminine#in the ending credits she is dressed like a rose bride when in the arms of dios#but yea utena isnt just a dumb lesbian#shes one part dense and 4 parts willfully ignorant because of her relationship with gender sexuality adolescence and princehood#utena

i forgot that it’s march break. my commute will now be filled with teenagers wanting to take a day to go to the city. please dear god or whoever is listening let them be quiet and polite, or at least if they’re getting into shenanigans let it be entertaining
#the devil lillith on my shoulder#entertaining shenanigans: the teenage boys at walmart having a bike race with the display bikes and immediately getting caught by undercover#security then looking to me being like did you know this guy is secret security he’s talking in his earpiece to THE walmart#idk they were relatively (not entirely) harmless and quite entertaining

“Love itself is revolutionary and if you can’t see that then you should replay the game” oh yeah it’s pretty blatant and obvious I mean a fucking blind mole could see it. There’s a difference between playing it and understanding the message and then playing it through a shipping lense in order to make up shit that never happened so you could make mid fics + art while also ignoring the character’s actual traits.
Some people just like to frollick through media cuz the characters are hot and they need some masturbation material.
… yeah? Life is short I hope everybody who wants to frollick and jack off has the opportunity to do both as often as possible.
#and I hope everyone who wants to make art gives themselves the grace to make bad art#and I hope that people understand that perhaps the art people create for free for love as transformative fan work#does not represent their entire understanding of the source media#but rather that it’s something they wanted to see and were inspired to make#people contain multitudes#and we are so rarely privy to all of them#also bad art or mid art or whatever you want to call it#is a necessary process in the creation of good art#and anyway we all wildly disagree on where the good/bad line even is so#I don’t know#look I’m not immune to being annoyed by people doing harmless things but generally I think it’s an unhelpful impulse#you gotta give folks the grace you would want to be given#there’s too much actually wrong in the world to waste time stressing over other peoples fun#disco elysium#ask

“ fellow demigod !”
@luposcainus || 🫡 my fellow!!
Oh. Oh, okay! Is this how we're greeting each other, now?
Leo takes it in stride—which he's insanely good at doing, he'll have you know—and when the fellow demigod calls out their shared freakishness, he's readily saluting. Well, it's more like a mix of salute and finger-gun: a hand to his forehead before snapping into the gesture of camaraderie. (He figured it worked well enough. The Camp Jupiter folks had a weird thing for formality—like it really did something for them, if you catch his drift—so maybe the salute would save him from getting tossed into the river... or whatever they did to impudent children.)
“Hey there, demi-dude!” Oh, gods—demi-dude? He'd workshop that one. “You're looking”—Leo opened his hands out to him, gesturing widely while he considered the right words here—“alive. Good for you! What can ol' Leo do you for?”
#luposcainus#(answered)#aaaaa hi hi hi!! thank you so very much for following back! uvu/#on both blogs to boot! i appreciate that immensely!#and leo is here being a heckin idiot as always I AM SO SORRY CASPIAN#he's harmless i promise... he's just a fool and an entire wreck#i really love your pjo verse btw! it's super interesting 80c

[cw: anti-NPD ableism, fictional child death, gore.]
you know. i can't believe it didn't quite click for me until now, but i knew there was a piece of the ableism puzzle missing with ivan, and i just realized that along with the audhd/dyslexia stuff he is a really violently hateful depiction of NPD.
pwNPD are all evil, stupid abusers who will only ever accomplish anything by riding others' coattails; anyone who believes they have worth or deserve love only thinks that because they're fooling themselves and denying reality, at the expense of the reasonable people who actually deserve the love and approval they're hogging; it's funny, satisfying, and their just deserts to take them down a peg by intentionally insulting and humiliating them; and you should cheer for their gruesome, frankly dehumanizing deaths. very awesome and cool
#lorien legacies#ivanick shu-ra#LL crit tag#benafflecksmoking.png#the ride never ends#ableism cw#abuse cw#proceeds to write up a Long Tag Rant about this to go in a reblog lmao#but yeah i'm just like. there's a Lot to unpack here but jesus i hate 'how to hurt a narcissist' bullshit so much#people will claim pwNPD are evil abusive monsters#and then eagerly look forward to the opportunity to engage in tailored; calculated emotional sadism toward them#like they're waiting for christmas morning#even the most harmless possible depictions of People Who Think a Little Too Highly of Themselves are treated as Revolting and Evil#and you can always; always see the SO WE HAVE TO GLEEFULLY PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE AS PUNISHMENT coming#and the more Actually Bad Things they have the character do as an excuse for the hateful treatment the worse it gets#i'm hashtag tired man#(also re: the dehumanization thing; i say that because decapitation is something that tends to lean toward being portrayed that way)#(because Head Gone)#(the biggest exception to this is when the focus is specifically on the person's face)#(ivan's head is not entirely severed; but that kind of focus does not feel present)#(so. lmao)#gore cw#decapitation cw#death cw#child death cw#LL tag
