Upcoming AO3 Fanfic Crossover Announcement!
Well it's that time of this year, folks. I'm currently making an AO3 fic that is based on my day dreams, a strong idea that is floating for a while now, and lots of inspiration. This is a massive crossover between Minecraft Modded and a huge amount of stuff (Including: Hololive, Treasure Planet (2002), Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (2016), Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Spazmatic Banana (Youtuber), etc) for this fanfiction that i'm working on.
It's a big project of a fanfic and it contains a lot of swearing and some dark humor so i'm currently working on the first chapter as of right now. However, i'll need a bit of help as soon as i upload my first AO3 fic to the public so hit me up on Discord (selfKaiHarness) for any advice, assistance, heck even a co-creator request would be handy!
This is my magnum opus of a fanfic and i plan there will be a lot of chapters with continued storytelling as much as i can without facing burnout and writer's block. This will be also my first fanfic on Ao3 in a while so i've learned a lot through roleplays throughout the years while making this.
The Ao3 fic is called 'Between Many Worlds Vol 1: Discoveries and Explorations' in case if you're wondering.
Please be patient as i'm working on this fic to the smartest of my degree can handle as well as making sure this fic has little or no grammar errors as possible. Once it's ready, i'll notify you when it's all ready. But right now, it's half-way done in the oven and needs more time to bake.
(Note: I'll never do some smut fics and any kind of explicit fics. Just so that i can comfortably work on my future teen and up to mature fics and nothing more.)

i pretty much cannot overstate how little interest i have in "the ~REAL~ geography" of any epic. "ooh the island of aeaea is REALLY meant to be--" no it's meant to be aeaea, idiot. it says so right there
#as i'm reading the argonautica i'm aware the journey is much more realistically described than in earlier works#but i still genuinely do not care about how many real world miles are between THIS place and THAT place

Look what we've become.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#Initially I wanted to do a 'Mutiny' quote to follow the 'Luck runs out' quote.#But the musical earworms demanded a different blood to be drawn. And I think it works just as well.#Alright. It's time to confess something. I really struggled with this comic. I didn't want to draw it. Then I didn't want to upload it.#Because I knew I would be here in the tags writing and backspacing for hours trying to articulate my thoughts.#I'm going to talk about death and grief in the tags today so this is your WARNING to look away if you aren't in a headspace for it.#Sometimes in media there are scenes and characters which land on topics so specific to your wounds that it reopens them all over again.#Because here's the truth. When you've known someone like this for nearly your whole life...it doesn't matter how bad the fight is.#You always think 'We'll always have time. One day this dust will settle and we'll rebuild the bridge.'#And then the fucker dies!!! He dies and suddenly there will never ever be time to repair the rift.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. And part of you did just a bit. But love and hate aren't mutually exclusive.#He's fucking dead and you are left with so many broken and unfinished pieces between the two of you.#Jiang Cheng loses Wei Wuxian thinking that WWX thought they hated each other.#He's a younger brother who will one day be older than the person he lost.#Who has no one else in the world who understands those feelings of love and hate and grief.#I can't be normal about this character. I don't think he even heals me. Zero catharsis to be gained here.#I just look at his sour grape ass and think 'shit that's a little too close to home.' JC is my discomfort character.#I'm probably going to regret being this vulnerable in the tags in like. An hour. So. sorry if you see this once and never again.#EDIT: Yeah sorry this took 4 hours to muster the courage to post. Surprise update!#EDIT 2: You guys were being too nice to me on my sad comic to point out the spelling error. I have fixed it now B'*)

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd
#yeah i’m bitter about carrds becoming so hostile to disabled people#nobody with vision issues or photosensitivity or processing issues or epilepsy or memory issues could possibly read your carrd#small changes like proper colour contrast between background and text can make a world of difference in making your page accessible#even just spelling out the acronyms in your dni or mentioning WHERE a mysterious link will actually lead is so helpful#i see so many links that are just random literary quotes that turn out to lead to a mandatory dni. how would anyone know that??#txt#accessibility#1000

you’ve heard about linksmeet aus before, but today I bring you a LINKLES MEET AU
✨WELCOME TO THE LINKLE-VERSE✨
basically, an au that asks the question of: what if each Link had a Linkle counterpart? The Linkles don’t necessarily share a spirit, but they do share one thing, aka GETTING LOST! So lost in fact they end up in different eras lmao what’s better than this, just gals being pals trying to find their way back home amiright lmao
it all starts with Fauna (botw/totk!Linkle) following a story about Zelda’s whereabouts for the Lucky Clover Gazette and falling down a suspicious portal accidentally. She ends up in another era and another time, and pairs up with the local Linkle to find a way back home (though jumping through time will absolutely make a great story for the Lucky Clover!) what happens next will (not) surprise you (they get lost again and find themselves in another era, find the local Linkle and…rinse and repeat lmao)
👇 small notes and translation of their names down below 👇
they’re all sapphics cause like, I’m sapphic and I say so lol
the OG Linkle aka the one from hyrule warriors, is nicknamed atenea
fauna has no idea her coworker (botw/totk!link) is THE link everyone is looking for, cause I think it’s funny that he has the Tony Hawk syndrome lmao
hada dies to ganondorf’s forces while protecting oot!zelda in all timelines except the child timeline
brisa hates ww!link’s guts and refers to him as her sworn arch nemesis but it’s all one sided cause ww!link couldn’t care less about her lmao he keeps finding rare treasure and getting his hands on treasure maps, ITS NOT FAIR !
rosa is like brock from pokemon aka her eyes are always closed lmao
ocaso has a bitch resting face but is actually a sweetheart, she feeds the cats in castle town every day
linka is a traveling merchant in hyrule, while rava travels lorule. they both have had encounters with ravio in lorule/hyrule and hate him, they’re competitors lol the hatred is mutual though ravio hates them too since they keep stealing Mr Hero’s patronage from him lol
I like to imagine peregrina has stumbled upon loz/al!link a couple of times but has no idea who he is, like just a weird traveling kid lmao
alma likes trains and aspires to be a royal engineer like st!link but she also dreams of eventually being the captain of a steamboat lol
ever since she split, colores talks in plural sometimes
capa is mc!link’s cousin aka they both have the same grandpa :)
the translations of their names are:
Cielo = sky
Capa = cape
Hada = fairy
Rosa = rose or pink
Brisa = breeze
Ocaso = twilight
Linka is just Linka lol same with Rava
Colores = colors
Alma = spirit or soul
Fauna = same in English
Peregrina = pilgrim
#miry's art#welcome to the Linkle-verse au#loz linkle#the legend of zelda#loz#tloz#loz au#tloz au#skyward sword#minish cap#ocarina of time#a link to the past#link’s awakening#oracle games#wind waker#twilight princess#a link between worlds#four swords#spirit tracks#breath of the world#tears of the kingdom#adventure of link#oh my god so many tags lmao

to the 10 non-israeli hostages still in hamas captivity (listed from top left to bottom right):
bipin joshi, 23, nepal. an agronomy student, bipin arrived at israel to study citrus cultivation, only 3 weeks before 7/10. he was staying at kibbutz alumim when the attack started. at first, when the rockets started, bipin sheltered in a bunker with 16 other nepalese foreigners. thinking this was a "regular" attack, and will pass soon, they've even taken a group selfie, which one of them had uploaded to facebook with the caption "bunker time". bipin can be seen in this photo.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1c621f644767bcf42d33ab89e2786828/e77eb49789a90210-67/s540x810/5825f1afddf9c4d94773987b70f320233c84dd1e.jpg)
fear settled in when the sound of gunfire was getting closer. terrorists briefly entered the bunker at first, shooting at the men. two were instantly killed - one who was filming with his phone, and one who shouted "we're nepalese!" the terrorists have then started throwing grenades into the bunker. the men have crowded against the wall - except for bipin, who jumped at the grenades to throw them away. he was successful with the first grenade; but the second one exploded before he could get to it, and left several of the men injured and unconscious. the terrorists have moved on from the bunker, and later the men heard distant shouts of israeli officers, who arrived at the active scene of the attack, instructing them to come to a nearby kitchen for better shelter. while a few of the men immediately went there, bipin and a few of his friends tried to first aid those who were injured by the grenade. it was during this time that he quickly texted his cousin, in english: “If something happens to me you have to take care of my family. Be strong and always see the future.” it was then that two terrorists broke into the bunker. one, pointing a gun at the men left inside, instructed them to come outside with him. the other filmed them with his phone - with the footage being the last time bipin was seen. bipin's phone was later located in the gaza strip.
2. sudthisak rinthalak, 43, thailand. a farm worker, he was working the orchards of kibbutz be'eri on the morning of the attack. he was murdered on the spot, and his body kidnapped into the gaza strip. his death was confirmed to his family on may 16, 2024, following an investigation of the available evidence. may he rest in peace.
3. watchara sriaoun, 32, thailand. a farm worker, he was kidnapped from kibbutz nir oz, where he was working. watchara arrived in israel back in 2020 with his brother, in order to cover their family debt and pay their father's medical bills. apart from his mother and brother, waiting for him back home is also watchara's 9 year old daugher, irada, whose mother died in august 2024.
4. sathian suwannakham, 35, thailand. a farm worker from kibbutz nir oz, he arrived at israel in 2020. sathian was seriously injured during his kidnapping. his mother found out about it via a video on facebook; she, alongside sathian's father and sister, are still waiting in thailand for any word on him.
5. pongsak tanna, 36, thailand. a farm worker, he would often livestream while working, talking to his father wilas, or his 14 year old daughter. on the morning of 7/10, pongsak video called his father. during the 10 minute call, he described the chaos of rockets and gunfire, shouting at people around him to hide from the terrorists. eventually the signal was cut. pongsak was kidnapped into the gaza strip. during the weeks after 7/10, wilas spent days riding his bike around his home province, alongside the thailand-cambodia border, looking for anyone with a relative in israel who could help him search for pongsak. he had spent thousands of bahts (hundreds of dollars) repeatedly submitting legal documents to the government, in hope for any news on his son. “if my son is alive, whenever israel can get the hostages released, I want (him) to come home quickly to (his) hometown," silas said in an interview back in october 2024. “most importantly, i want my son to be ordained (as a buddhist monk) for his mom who died when he was away."
6. bannawat seathao, 27, thailand. a farm worker, he was shot in the leg before being kidnapped.
7. nattapong pinta, 35, thailand. nicknamed "nick", nattapong, a farm worker, came to work in israel a year and a half before 7/10, leaving his wife and young son, in order to pay off a debt and help his wife fulfill her dream of opening a coffee shop. he worked the avocado groves in nir oz. during the occasional rocket attacks, nick would call his older sister, reassuring her. "i’m just saving up a little more money, then i’ll be coming back.” on the morning of 7/10, nick called him wife, narissara. there was shooting, he said, and he was running away. that was the last she heard from him. "i felt like my heart was being squeezed when i learned that he hadn't been freed yet," narissara said. "i will definitely go to the airport [when he returns]. nothing will stop me."
8. suntaya akrasi, 20, thailand. a farm worker, suntaya was murdered on 7/10 while working near kibbutz be'eri, then his body was kidnapped into the gaza strip. his death was confirmed on may 16th, 2024. may he rest in peace.
9. joshua loitu mollel, 21, tanzania. an agronomy student, he arrived at israel 3 weeks before 7/10, planning to stay for 11 months. both joshua and his roomate, clemence felix mtenga (22), a fellow student from tanzania, were murdered in nir oz. at first, the pair had managed to text a fellow tanzanian intern in the kibbutz, ezekiel kitiku, telling him that they were running for shelter. but after a few hours, the texts have stopped. joshua's violent kidnapping was filmed and posted online, showing the terrorists stabbing and shooting him several times. joshua's body was kidnapped into the strip; clemence's body was identified a month later. joshua's death was confirmed in december 2023. joshua was the oldest of 5 children, and his stay in israel was his first time traveling outside of tanzania. joshua's father told of joshua's younger siblings that they "ask me every morning and night: ‘Dad, we want to talk to our brother.'" may joshua and clemence rest in peace.
10. surasak lamnau, 30, thailand. a farm worker at first, surasak's mother, kanmee, had no idea what happened to her son. in the chaos following the events of 7/10, his colleagues in israel told her that they did not see him. but after she posted about him online, she was told that he was one of 5 people - an israeli employer and his 4 thai employees - who were kidnapped. his fate is currently unknown.
none of these 10 hostages are expected to be released during the first phase of the ceasefire deal between israel and hamas.
of the 82 foreign nationals who were killed during the 7/10 events, 46 were thai, 10 were nepalese (all agronomy students who were murdered in kibbutz alumim), 5 chinese (3 were murdered in sderot); 4 were from the philippines (3 were working as nurses in the gaza envelope, one was killed in the nova festival massacre); two nurses from sri lanka (both murdered in kibbutz be'eri); two were from tanzania; 2 were from the uk; 2 were from the usa; and the others were from germany, moldova, canada, cambodia, eritrea, india, mexico, ukraine, and geogria. 32 foreign nationals were kidnapped. most of them thai. 647 foreign nationals were injured.
#ישראבלר#jumblr#just spent a few hours collecting information and translating it#foreign victims of 7/10 draw little attention in israel and nearly non at all abroad#and the information isn't consistent. the number of dead ranges between 68-82 in the info i could find#it's infuriating#especially considering how some of the worst and most graphic footage filmed during 7/10 involved foreign workers#and their families... imagine your loved one going abroad to help you pay off a debt or just provide a living#and they get involved in a brutal war they had nothing to do with#and you're half a world away and can do nothing to help them. your government doesn't care. you don't know if they're even alive or dead#i wonder how many of the people who are gonna read this post have had no idea about any of these hostages

"I have many fears, most of them about Lucrezia." — Cesare Borgia (The Borgias, 2011-2013) + hints of insecurity
that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him
#i have so many thoughts on these two#hes such a clingy brother wth#as much as he soothes her it is only by asking lucrezia verbally or#by looking at her that his fears and insecurities in her life can be soothed#cesare torn between - being relieved she had some joy in the ruthless marriage he had no power to prevent and did not even want to bless#or being envious there is someone else now when his little sister once said she will not love anyone as much as she loves him#but Accepting it anyways because it is impossible loves and maybe he is starting to become aware his love falls in this same category.#“should i envy this narcissus low-born who shall never see you again because of his impossible love for you when i love you just the same?”#the knife more surprise than fear. in a time when he did not love himself...“she accepts me as i am? as i do her”#biting her as if another black panther pet looking for reassurance that their love#that HE is still included in her perfect world even if he himself pulls away#“surely you're in agony as much as i am? are you already satisfied with your child and husband if we cannot share our love openly?”#“your eyes drift to mine when you say 'husband' am i not he? do you see me as so even when it was just 'tonight'?”#and then his sudden gaze as if to look for truth because how can she forget him when he only thinks of her#AND AGAIN pulling away being eaten by shame and guilt of corrupting her (when their relationship is not just his doing)#torn between hope (we have the capacity to forget and move on) and hope (our love has that much devil power over her)#cesare as the god or the devil or whatever it is that overwhelms whether at war or in love#cesare is one confident man and even if his insecurities has layers of righteousness and importance..it is still insecurity nonetheless#and only for lucrezia#lucrezia borgia#cesare borgia#cesare x lucrezia#the borgias#dailyborgia#perioddramaedit#perioddramasource#weloveperioddrama#onlyperioddramas#romancegifs#the borgiasedit

Not to be a Style apologist, but I feel like some viewers haven't quite picked up that Style's brand of wooing Fadel is quite literally intentionally designed (by both the writers and the character) to be as annoying and frustrating as possible.
Lets consider:
Style thinks his bff is in love for the first time in his life. He thinks Kant is genuinely down bad for Bison: let’s not forget his clear surprise when Kant agreed to give up the car. As far as Style is concerned, Kant is acting really out of character and it's because Kant desperately wants to be with Bison.
He also thinks the only thing standing in the way of True Love™ is Fadel, who according to Kant is being unreasonably difficult about Kant and Bison dating. He doesn't know that Kant has a secondary motivation, nor does he know about the mind games that Bison is playing with Kant. Worse, he has no frame of reference or context to make any of Fadel's animosity towards Kant reasonable.
Moreover, while I think we all agree that Style made a terrible first impression on Fadel, the same has to be said of Fadel towards Style. Like, yes, absolutely Style was in the wrong, but Fadel came off as not only condescending and impatient, but unreasonable (and very weirdly cagey) when Style tried to immediately offer a resolution. Again, Style has no frame of reference for why Fadel would first demand that he take responsibility for his actions and then immediately after claim to have no time to entertain Style's attempt to take said responsibility.
Also, it doesn't help Style's wounded pride that Fadel keeps 'besting' him at every turn. So at this point I think a significant portion of that initial attraction (in ep 1) has shifted to annoyance when it comes to Fadel. By the time he gets his hands on Fadel's information, I think he's more than a little invested in some payback. While I think Style very much still wants to help Kant (and Bison) out, at least a part of him figures as long as he keeps Fadel busy, he kind of meets his goal. And if he gets to embarrass, frustrate and otherwise harass Fadel along the way, all the better!
You can see him start to have some fun with it. He ramps it up SO much in ep 2. He gets to lean into that wild, brash, playful personality because he doesn't really care if Fadel likes him. Style gets to be dialled up to extremes, and I love that for him because he's honestly kind of justified because he knows so fucking little about what's really going on. I think it's only fair if the other 3 are playing 4D chess while Style only has the Uno game rules in front of him, he gets to be the most Unhinged about it.
So, yeah, while I absolutely agree with all the posts out there that recognises just how reasonable and polite and tired Fadel is, I do think we need to give Style some credit here. He's absolutely SO extra, but he's also the one, arguably, that has been lied to the most and I feel that he deserves some slack for that.
#listen i love him and i just keep seeing so many posts about how terrible he was to fadel#and all of them are so valid! and i agree!! i want to protect Fadel from the world too!!#but i also think we need to acknowledge that Style is working on so much less information than anyone else#also i hope he calls Kant out on the kind of shitty thing he did to not tell Style about Fadel's whole deal#the balance that this show strikes between Unserious and actually honestly kind of Serious is really impressing me#the heart killers the series#the heart killers#thk meta#style meta#fadelstyle#hui talks thk#hui talks thai bl#style sattawat#dunk natachai#dunk continues to impress me so much in this episode#he seemed very believable in the frankly insane breadth of variance his character has in both episodes#i'm so excited to see everything he has to show off in this series

Kingdom Hearts 3 - The Caribbean
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#the caribbean#scenery#my gif#my favorite world in the game#it's so beautifully crafted and fun to explore#they did such a good job with port royal i'm no expert on the movies but i'm sure it's a super faithful recreation#there are so many lush islands to find with caves full of treasure. it's like a real pirate adventure#i'm glad that we're able to dive into the water because i really like underwater scenery and being able to freely swim around#i love sora's pirate outfit and that he gets a ship of his own to sail. he has such a blast in this world#the banter between sora donald goofy and jack while on the ship is a lot of fun too#big fan of how they integrated the organization's search for the black box with the chest that contains davy jones's heart#gotta love when the main story ties into the plot of a disney movie#the final cutscenes in this world are insane and so well rendered that they're almost indistinguishable from the movie#i sent screenshots to friends asking if they could tell the difference and they couldn't#not that i'm complaining because it really elevated the experience but why did they go so hard

Finally revealing one of my other blorbos, Niccolo Sonata! A mixed genre troll who poses as a Pop Idol up until world tour
He's a complicated bag, he's half rock half classical, his mother kind of low-key hates him, and his dad does care but is kind of paralyzed with various anxieties that comes with the fact that Niccolo is half classical (worried about his constitution and his wings) and things related to his mother (she doesn't want Niccolo to become like his dad and puts a lot of restrictions on him)
Both of his parents don't really know what to do with him, and he doesn't know what to do with himself.
He has a lot of internalized hatred towards himself and the two sides of his musical families, plus he is a secret third genre (symphonic rock) which he doesn't fully understand. He got picked on a bit in Volcano Rock City, they're a lot rougher than he's used to so he just kind of took it, which is why he looks so roughed up in one pic and the other he says they hate him in VRC
Again he's really complicated even tho he doesn't look it, if you have questions about him lmk
#dreamworks trolls#trolls#trolls 3#trolls oc#trolls world tour#twt#trolls oc Niccolo#his father calls him Nicky#his dad did try to be a good dad and just ended up dropping the ball because he was worried about what niccolos mom would do#shes not a nice person#idk if you can tell#she does care for her son she just cant get over the other half of him#if that makes sense#she believes that even if he isnt full classical she can just make him#which causes him to run away from home at 18#he lived between houses for about 10 yr#and then the rest with his mother due to an incident#which will appear in a different comic#ill share more about his parents later#niccolo is kind of stuck up#and rude to people when hes off stage he doesnt mean to be#it just happens which he does eventually grow out of#his story is one of learning to be better not just for himself but for the people hes around#i think he probably doesnt have many friends until after his growth#tho he does have some its like 3 people who see his potential for growth and or tolerate his bad behavior#i have a few comics of him BUT i need to fix them before i post#cuz i got his wing shape wrong in ALL OF THEM#legit got them wrong in the two comics i have here and they were made 2 sec after i made his design#i had to fix them to post them#idk how i did that but i did smh smh

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#Genuinely speaking I feel like said demeanor is incredibly useful for when he has to charm and/or persuade people into listening to him#I have a whole post talking about Leo’s charm and how he consistently gets people to hear him out even if he’s annoyed or upset them#like they’ll still listen to what he has to say in full#his charisma stat is real and utilized quite often in this series I swear he’s not just a loser cringeboy all the time 😭#if he wants to persuade and/or charm then he honestly sooo often does#me listing the 400th reason why Leo grows up to be the worlds best ninja and a good 365 of those reasons are Leo’s various subterfuge skill#Like most episodes where he’s not the main focus (and even many where he is)#he’s a voice of reason who notices things quickly and is often the one taking point to talk down situations#something interesting I found between Leo and Mikey is that#Mikey tells people what they need to hear#Leo tells people what they want to hear#not only out of his own agenda either#when bullhop was wrecking their home leo was the one that negotiated to make the situation go smoother#even if he would have rather bullhop left#meanwhile Mikey is the one who bluntly tells things as it is#small character moment that means a lot to me#Mikey is an honest boy who is upfront about his feelings#Leo prefers to let people make their own decisions he wants them to through steering the convo in that direction#but he is easily cowed by guilt#regardless leo is a people person - he knows how to talk to them and how to manipulate/persuade#and I like that his bros know this and often push him forward to do the talking if they wanna charm someone into doing what they want#I think Leo’s hope speeches are also an example of this - he’s saying what people really want to hear (and often it’s ALSO what they NEED)#the further the series goes on the higher Leo’s inner stress rises and he just keeps that chill aura anyway#there’s a reason!!! he wanted to go to a SPA so badly!!#literally the first thing he does when he gets in is rest#no joke meditation would do him good? like- it’s a Leo thing and I genuinely think rise leo would be no different here

You want examples of anti-Manicheanism in Tolkien?
Take Maedhros - he who performed "deeds of surpassing valor" and stood against the darkness and armies of Morgoth for centuries. He who swore a blasphemous oath, condemning himself to damnation. He who murdered his kin not once, not twice, but four times. And he who, finally holding the very object that symbolized his damnation, realizes the futility of all the evil he committed and throws himself into the fire.
Is he bad? Is he good? He swore a blasphemous oath - by Tolkien's standards, that alone would make him 'bad.' And then, of course, there are, you know, the murders. But is he absolutely evil? Born to be a murderous thing? Beyond any redemption or pity? How can someone who so fearlessly resisted The Evil be an entirely lost case? Can absolute evil even recognize the horror of its own deeds?
Tolkien, far more insightful than those who try to divide humankind into simple categories of good and bad, masterfully depicted the complexity of human nature (the Children of Ilúvatar). Humanity is not inherently evil, nor is it doomed to fall - yet it does, and still holds the potential to rise again: to see, to believe, to choose to do good.
#discussing tolkien's lore with pretentious dudes who've only watched pj's films is exhausting#my two cents at 2 am#silmarillion#absolutely no difference between Morgoth and the orcs#yes sure now go and have your nap#you all can't handle too many nuances complex world building and ideas I know I know#maedhros#of course I d use my favorite emotional support kinslayer#rings of power

ravio I started drawing spring of last year
#loz#legend of zelda#a link between worlds#ravio#albw#what i tell ya? a ravio this year!!!!#listen i am so tired. i have been tired for like 12 weeks#now I just came from a 4 week#i messed up. from a four week vacation that i didn’t relax during at all. not a SINGLE SECOND RELAXED#id be angry as hell if that wouldn’t take the rest of my energy#anyway i finished echoes of wisdom today finally. cute little game. made me really sad#its not a sad game but multiple times it made me really sad and. i dont have time to think about why#i didn’t really like the final boss. or i think itd be a little better if we got to be link but just by a little#it wasnt great. none of the bosses were tbh. i cant remember a single boss#zelda needed a weapon. and i would like to have more concrete puzzle solutions. we echo too many items for me to remember what i have#especially when i was picking up from gameplay i last did in october#wouldnt be as much a problem if i was playing consistently every week#that was a little of my problem in totk too. the puzzles were too open. they were so open in fact that nobody solved them ‘correctly’#thats all i got i need to do my hw and close my eyes

i love how hopecore one piece has been ever since gear 5th has been revealed.
#one piece#mugiwara#one piece 1133#one piece 1133 spoilers#SPOILER THOUGHTS AHEAD#like between egghead and elbaf i've felt so elated and content#like ppl thought kuma was gonna die and THAT didn't happen#ohara's message was sent out to the world#bonney is free#saul is alive and has reunited with robin#like you would think oda would start tryna pull a fast and maybe kill saul now#but i don't even think he's even considering it#we're in the homestretch and we've just been taking so many Ws it's hard to not think of the straw hats as invincible
