the people aren't ready to hear this but angelique arbitrarily picking quentin to decide to be in love with out of nowhere, bewitching roger into marriage and then absolutely not wanting him to touch her, and constantly pursuing men's (chiefly barn's) attention only when it's clear he doesn't want her, is soooo comp het of her.
#good luck babe!#the one exception i can think of where she genuinely seems to enjoy physical affection with men is when she's#enthralled joe. and joe is more like a really clingy; very pretty jelly donut in that situation.#in leviathans she's more or less happy with sky who does seem to want her.#but i would strongly argue that what angelique *wants* is the social position of a Wife —#as opposed to being interested in any given man himself.#and there's something really fascinating about the difference between her and julia there; even though ang possesses way more power#(and is theoretically not bound by human gendered/sexual structures of power)#julia found her position (and significant influence!) via her own intellect and career; her want for barnabas is tremendously personal —#not socioeconomic; not needing to be Established in the world as a wife to move through it or find meaning.#(and i realize i'm going against most barnjules shippers here but i do think julia would prefer to be known as Dr. Hoffman infinitely more#than becoming yet another anonymous Mrs. Collins)#but angelique is so different. for her (over and over and over again) finding her place in the human world as a woman means#becoming someone's Wife. whether or not she wants them! and i'd argue she usually doesn't. not like she thinks she does.#and this is sort of only a footnote; but even the ploy to get roger — enrolling as a student in the college in rockport —#is only a Very Temporary ruse to get into position as Mrs. Collins. academic knowledge like julia's; or establishing herself#institutionally doesn't even seem to make a blip on her radar.#feminine identity for ang is Only contained absolutely in the marriage contract#— which the show is pretty explicitly; emphatically against!#julia is the hero to root for (narratively and romantically) and ang the unquestioned antagonist (most of the time)#and her marriage plots are shown as devious and unwanted; even when they're not to the level of brainwashing and drugging roger.#but. man. fascinating. just Fascinating the way ang interacts with sex and gender.#phenomenal cosmic powers ... itty bitty gender space.

I'm doing an art trade with the wonderful @tokyogruel and this is my piece for them!
They wanted "haruka and mikoto interacting Brothers style" and my mind immediately went to this... T2 art makes me want to sit them both down and sort their fucking shoes out!! but for now. at least One of them will no longer trip over 💜 nature is healing guys
#milgram#haruka sakurai#mikoto kayano#listen. I may have Exaggerated how bad mikoto's shoes are but do you really think they're going to be fixed any time soon??? EXACTLY#and don't get me started on haruka's shoes... oh my god this boy Will give me a migraine. I bet no one ever helped him with laces before :(#but not anymore!! I'm here to fix that!!!#anyways I had so much fun making this!! I really love lineless art - and the art process meshes with my way of drawing well I think ^w^#I'd much prefer to think in shapes and blocks of colour than try to draw the perfect line 500 times and cry of frustration asdfghjkl#I Love these two interacting... I can't explain it in words so I hope I conveyed my feelings well!! they deserve to be happy ;w; 💜#my art#ミルグラム

#Doodles#Webkinz#Webkinz hours! The cute lads have wedged their way back to the forefront of my mind haha#I'm honestly really glad I kept all my Webkinz plush over time and they've survived all the moves and whatnot#Some are still missing - most notably my horses for some reason - but I have the rest onhand and they're still cute and soft and I love them#Getting the opportunity to name and play with them as a young'un made them stick quite strongly in my mind ♪#And I still find some of my design sensibilities with their roots in the gameplay/game design/UI design/interactivity#I think it inspired some of my Video Game Design brain which is an aspect of myself I'm quite happy with :D#And I /love/ plushies probably now more than ever <3 So I'm doubly glad younger me didn't get rid of them haha#Got my lineup that featured in Tala's Requestober this year ♥ I left out a couple for what are probably obvious reasons ahem ahem#If you haven't seen what the Official design of the clownfish is in Webkinz... The plushy is arguably worse lol why that one of all of them#Hire me to design Webkinz fish I dare you#There are actually several cute fish - and several ugly ones! Lol I don't know why they're so inconsistent#It's not like the differences between Signature and Classic! Most of the fish are Classic or eStore! I don't know what gives lol#Anyway lol the other one I left out was my Night Mare since I couldn't remember his name either - which is a shame! I liked him#I still have some fairly clear memories of playing Webkinz with those lads <3 Of the different rooms and relationships and games#It's nostalgic! It's nice to reminisce on something so cheery and cute and light and fluffy :)#As for the rest hehe - I tend to pick up 'kinz whenever I find them at secondhand shops and the like - much like Lalaloopsies#They're out of production! Harder to find - rare and valuable haha totally#I haven't found any New With Tags so far but I'm on the hunt still!! Someday it'll be my turn...#But I Have found some really adorable fellows for cents on the dollar haha <3 Two Blue Whales and a Sheep and Duck!! So cute#My latest find was a Lil'kinz Lioness Cub and she is - So tiny <3 Really adorably constructed with a fluffy nose ahhh ♪#The Long Eared Bunny is my current Free 'kinz! I unfortunately lost the account with Baaby so I had to start over again but that's alright#This time I've got Embroidery and she's in a closet cosplay of Edgar haha - black-and-grey striped shirt with dark pants and round glasses#And angel wings! I was able to snag those from the Ganz website and they're perfect honestly haha ♥ She won an Open Beauty Pageant with it!#Couple of her with Sugar - my first Webkinz I got to play with since Diamond's tag was thrown away :') Sugar's my oldest 'kinz <3#And of her with smol's Free 'kinz since I convinced her to play with me off and on haha - her Leonberger named Borgus :D#And then one final one of what I'd really like - a Webkinz Spider ;;♥ I /know/ they've made spider objects that are really cute!#And April Fools' fake pets of a spider!!

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh
#Given some of it IS lines of code and stuff but like.. minus all that it's still probably at least 85 - 95k words hhhhhh#AND I have to do this for another 3 characters. Then a few partial quests for 3 others. THEN the other random misc stuff in the game#(like there are public areas in the city like a park and a forest that you can go and do a few things at. and chat with a few random#townsfolk that aren't actually full characters or anything. And there's a community board where you can#browse some of the random job advertisments or silly things that happen to be posted around#and also pick up a few odd jobs of your own to help earn coin to buy gifts for the npcs. etc. etc.)#Originally I was thinking like 'ah I'll make a short little game just to try it out! :3 It'll take maybe a few months!''#haha........................hee hee........................................hoho#Also evil that it would have been done already if I didn't totally drop itand stop working on it for like 5 years randomly#i could have made 5 years of steady slow progress gradually. instead of like 'one initial idea dump + about a month of art and writing'#...... 5 year break..... 'sudden mad dash to try to get probably 400.000 words written in a year or less' lol#I just really want to be done and have something out there already so it can lead to doing other things in my world..!!!!!! T o T#Like this can be an introduction and then maybe from that I can make other games. or short story anthologies. or other such things#But there needs to be some initially not very complex easy to interact with starting point first I guess... if that makes sense#That's part of why I stopped posting worldbuilding lore dump stuff as often because its' like.. massive walls of novella length#text are much more inacessible to engage with than like.. ooh a game! and there's characters! so its more approachable! and theres#visuals! oo! and the text is broken up in small bits line by line with other things in betwen! oo! etc. etc. lol#Not that THIS is even very accessible. I think dialogue heavy interactive fiction/visual novel type stuff is pretty niche and considered#boring or tedious compared to something with more ''gamplay'' like where you can actually move around in a world#and shoot things or whatever lol. But its an inbetween point. something SLIGHTLY#more accesible for now. Since i just dont have the budget or means or ability to make some skyrim type thing obviously LOL#Though maybe if theres any interest in the visual novel that could lead to making other things too. or at least I hope. I have a VERY cool#idea for a more ''gamey'' type of game that is a super fun concept and etc. but I would need to hire at least 2 people to make it.. ough..#I could do all the writing and probably half of the art. But I think I'd inevitably need a 3d artist and someone who can Code For Real hbjh#the system for ren'py (the thing I'm making a visual novel in) is not that complicated if you stick to just simple dialogue and stuff.#Making a whole moderately sized 3d game with minigames in it and a bunch of quest features and etc. would be out of my simplistic scope#''just learn it yourself!!' ... i barely manage to eat and sleep reliably every day lol... i do not function well enough to spend months#learning that many new skills. I already have a lot of of things I'm good at (not in a braggy way but just factually like.. i already have#a wide variety of different things under my belt).. at some point I have to just be happy with what i CAN already do and focus on that#and admit I need to get outside help sometimes ghjbh... NO more new skills/hobbies!!! ... ANYWAY

Again, this is asking a lot from Bethesda, and I wouldn't worry if they didn't consider or think of this.
But it would be so, absolutely so amazing if they had a sleazy scummy antagonistic Ghoul whose trying to take advantage of the fact that Lucy is naive and new to the world to oversell things, who doesnt affect the plot of the story but is a recurring character, possibly a merchant of type.
Just so we get a nice variety of Ghouls, as a fun treat.
#pretty much i want an Ahzrukhal#I don't expect Ahzrukhal but a Ghoul like Ahzrukhal cause i enjoy greasy slimy men who speak with a wheezy drawl#I'd want them so badly#fallout#but yeh im not gonna expect much from the show to have things id like to see#im just happy too see fun stuff in general#and so excited too see where this show takes its characters and how they grow and interact i could care less about lore accuracy#tho it would be so funny if they saw a space ship or any signs of alien life hehehehe id love that#i am very interested to see Deathclaws and Supermutants tho and ferals!

sol. Sol. Sol. Sol. Sol.
SOL.
ilysm.
you are so friggin extraordinary.
never change.
you're amazing.
Kept trying to think of some paragraph long response to this but I'm absolutely shitty with words-
SO
Tam. The feeling is very mutual- for you and everyone I've talked to at some point since I've been on this hellsite we call Tumblr /affectionate
Talking with everyone on here, sharing my art with everyone- just existing with everyone on here and seeing what y'all create has turned into such a huge aspect of my life (especially my social life like- y'all ARE my social life at this point 😅)
Plus I'm fuckin so glad I decided to try out Tumblr when I did cuz it was around a sorta traditional point in my life (moving outta a toxic ass house and away from a toxic, isolated life and my ex supposed father figure). Coming on here and talking with you and everyone else brightens my day and I'm glad to be a part of everything :3
#turned into a paragraph long response ajdjajfusufydsifuud to#have zero idea if this makes sense and I'd tather not re-read this all so I'm just gonna post it :P#sol full of asks#ALSO Tam this made me so frickin happy seeing this so thank you ♡(ӦvӦ。)#Update: ALSO- also I just wanna add this for all my moots#sorry about not interacting much or at all with y'all#I've been ignoring a LOT of my notifications on here- I get way to much with how many people I follow#and yeah I know I can just turn some notifications off but I really don't want to cuz if I do I just know I'm gonna completely forgot about#any bl9g I turn notifications off for- amd I don't want that to happen 😅#so I just ignore those notifications unless I'm bored and/or I decide to check up on what some people are doing :P

could you do me a favor and tag whenever there are ocs in your reblogs? thank you very much
I've so far didn't see much of it on your blog but I just noticed it and I would appreciate it very much.
I can try, but anon, I don't always know what's an OC and what is a canon character in the vast world of Pokémon that I've just never seen before.
Do like minor OCs to fill in gaps in fics count? What about characters who are truly blank slates, like some of the depot agents?
I can try and tag when there's like major OCs but when it comes to minor characters that's where I'm not gonna split hairs.
I guess the tags will be #others ocs and less commonly #my ocs
#anon#I'm not gonna lie I'm giving you a hard side eye as to why you want this#it feels really rude#remember: every single character you know and love is someone's OC#also before anyone @ me: if the very concept of OCs was a trigger I doubt a person with said trigger#would be comfortable with any form of fandom or headcanon or fanfic#maybe I'm wrong but yeah#not in the mood today for figuring this out#anyways OCs are cherished and loved here by the owner of this blog#even if this is a canon character blog not an OC blog#(admittedly I'd reblog more OCs interacting with submas if it wasn't a lot of shipping which isn't my thing)#but when I see OCs interacting with submas in a platonic way I am happy to reblog it :)#sorry if any of this seems rude I'm tired and my mental state is not good#and admittedly. I'm kinda tired of trying to guess what people mean and always giving the benefit of the doubt#please bear with me I'm sorry

why is gi twitter lately obsessed with discussions on whether what hoyo does with their ships is queercoding under censorship or queerbait
#i feel like i've been seeing this discourse everywhere#my personal feelings on it are mixed... is it possible to answer that it's both?....#pandering to queer audiences is like killing both birds with one stone..... fans of queer narratives are happy and incels who do not wish#to see their favourite female characters interact with men in a romantic way are also happy#because they can easily remain blind to queer implications#but since it's happening under censorship and since homophobes will do their best to not notice those implications...#does that make them any less real.. for those of us with eyes?#well... i don't know! i'd read a paper on this.. watch a video essay perhaps#i haven't watched the one that's only abt genshin. i mighttt but#i'd like to see one done by someone who takes the extensive history of hoyo games into account#one argument i've seen against pairings in hi3 being yuribait#was that their stories are written very lovingly with a lot of depth which#isn't something that men who are just looking to jerk off to lesbians are looking for#which to me personally is somewhat convincing but idk

It is, objectively, super funny that the Trek fandom in general is sitting around hoping that STP ignores their faves and doesn’t try and involve them. I mean, it’s many other things as well, but it’s funny that I keep being recommended random posts of random people crossing their fingers hoping that their blorbos will be ignored, never be seen on screen, and therefore saved from anything from bad characterisation to death via stupid contrived avoidable circumstance.
#that picard one#i feel like this could be some kind of bottom line on fan reactions tbh#we don't WANT our faves back#is... one hell of a indictment really#meanwhile the posts that truly baffle me are the shippers between the titular character and his ex cmo being Happy#if this were one of my big ships#(i casually enjoy it in tng)#i'd be Fuming!!!!#she's treating him like a doormat#they literally haven't had Any positive interaction?? (i've not seen this week's ep tho)#i... have not seen any content here that makes it seem like the Show ships it tbh#and if i trusted the writers i'd think that's bc they're not trying to push the ship#but i don't trust them. i've watched this season. l o l.#like honestly the downgrade in respect JL would be getting here if they decided to dear john laris for this ship is#astounding#(my main theory is they're gonna have Her ditch him so he doesn't look bad. if the stoy doesn't fit just bullshit it#is the method of this season so i don't feel bad for assuming this of them#if i'm wrong good. but i doubt it)

saw a post yesterday that was like "if you dont have trans women as friends u gotta think about why that is" and i really had to restrain myself from saying "it goes both ways my friend!". if you dont have any trans men as friends, ya gotta think about why that is also!
#personally? i dont choose my friends based on which minority category they belong to.#also im not out here going to 'trans group meetings' or whatever tf either. whoevers my friend is ppl who actually come into my life#who i actually get the chance to see and meet. consider: i havent actually met that many trans women irl at all.#i havent even met that many trans ppl irl at all in general- most of the trans ppl i DO happen across are NB#and i dont like making close friends online esp tumblr bc i dont trust none a yall#there are like two trans women i know that i met through someone else and 1 of them i literally just met and the other.......... based on#my interactions with her- i dont think we'd make great close friends.#acquaintances? sure. im mean thats kinda unavoidable at this point anyways.#the biggest issue is i havent met any trans women i think i'd actually click with- but thats a little unfair bc its hard to find friends#to begin with anyways let alone a trans woman specifically- if you think i gotta be out here hunting for trans women to be friends with to#fulfill your woke quota you got a weird fuckin world view on how friendships and the world in general works.#i dont make friends based on their transness or whatever tf thats fuckin weird.#theres a lot of trans women i follow online that i think i'd make great friends with- but the fact there aren't that many trans women#in general and the only ones i think i'd actually click with are ppl ill likely never meet irl? yeah i dont rly think its my#fault bud its kinda just the circumstance of life in general- there's just not a lot of trans people out there.#and no im not going to trans meetings bc that shit is usually toxic as hell anyways bye#new dating type of app but for looking for trans friends to make tumblr user buttfaceass happy about my choices#maybe if i lived in cali w my gay uncle i'd meet more but alas i live in missoura' and i dont blame trans women for wanting to hide#more here. shit i mean i do.#in total? irl? ive only met like 4 trans women. one of which im p sure is actually transfem and doesnt even live in my state#she and another one were part of a toxic abusive ass friend group and i really dont think im missing out on much.#so yeah what- you want me to try to befriend them again? bc im p sure my abuser filled their brains w bullshit about me so.#kinda not waiting on them to come around ever.#like im not exactly sure what that post wants me to do besides idk. act like the op of it?#go to toxic ass irl trans group meetings and befriend random ppl online who have no concept of friendship loyalty? yeah ill pass bud#actually actuall wait scratch that- i did know another trans woman--- she mightve been transfem too- but we met on discord#and primarily interacted there bc it was like a friendgroup discord and i think we were good enough friends we just never got super close#mostly bc im weary of queer friend groups that are predominately white and also i felt like that friendgroup only kept me around#to make fun of me. i dont think she was like that but.... the other ppl in it...... yeaaahhh...#so naturally we kinda stopped talking all together when i left the discord and stopped interacting w that friend group

Okay so I just spent ages listening to the bit where Tian Zhixie introduces himself to work out exactly what the phrasing was for ‘Thousand-Faced Demon’ and I worked out it was qiān miàn mó - which does seem to translate as thousand faced demon (or just thousand faces) on google translate (so take it with a pinch of salt) As an alternative it also gave me Qiān miàn èmó, which comes up as “devil with a thousand faces” which I think might be a more accurate phrasing even though I can’t hear them say the è. BUT honestly that’s not even why I’m making this post, I’m making this post because the characters used for this are 千面魔 (or 千面惡魔 for the longer version) 千 is a thousand, fine 魔 is pretty commonly translated as demon/demonic from what I’ve seen (it’s the same mo from Mo Dao Zu Shi) 面 however, is a character I’m familiar with from Duolingo. And while it is used for face/aspect/side, the other translation? Noodle. Tian Zhixie: thousand noodle demon.

Huwah~
I don't like that it's so difficult to find out who exactly has retweeted my posts.
I don't even get a notif if someone leaves a reply. I feel like that website is basically useless to me.
Edit: Resolved. I'm just a moron, but I'll keep this post up in case I forget how to do this again.
#am i too used to tumblr?#i just found out incidentally that a certain person retweeted my flirt comic#is there really not an easy way that I can find out who exactly is interacting with my posts??#is twitter just not the kind of site where people care about that kinda thing??#or do i just not know where to find it.#'cus i don't see it in the analytics#like it's fine if I can't find out every person who *sees* the post#i don't need granular info like that#but i'd at least like to know who likes them enough to share them#i only get notifs when mutuals do it#(Thanks Lex >3<)#and even then i'm not sure if it shows me all of them~#the only real upside i have is that twitter has a more global audience#so my reach is theoretically a little broader#especially since I actually take the time to add alt text to my comics#so they can be machine translated into any language#because at the end of the day the purpose of my work#(for the most part)#is to bring joy#so if more people can see it and it can make those people happy the better#but what i want in return is to at least know who was 'moved' by my silly drawings#ya know?#it means nothing to me if i don't know who is being affected by my work#even if it's just something small like 'that made me smile for 2 seconds'#the number by itself is meaningless to me#i feel like this isn't the first time i've made a post like this#if there's a way to find this info#someone PLEASE tell me

My pet snake enjoys being pet too, especially after she's eaten she likes me to pet her tummy there.
(The really unusual thing is she will pet herself there with her chin to show me what she wants, and I do it every time she asks so I guess I've been reenforcing/rewarding this behavior. She will stop directing me and relax when I pet her. She also pets ME sometimes too. She'll sit with her body in the crook of my arm and gently and repeatedly move her chin over my arm in the direction my short arm hairs flow, lift up and go back and do it again several times. I'm not sure if she enjoyed being pet and decided to try it for herself and liked it, or just enjoys the feeling of petting her human. She's very sweet, gentle, and cuddly. Does anyone else's snake do this? I've seen nothing like it posted anywhere by anyone else. She's a Western Hognose.)
#When I first got her I'd barely interacted with any snakes irl before#so when she got starled her nature is to make a loud scary sound#It is REALLY loud considering she's as small as a long gummi worm#The second time she did it and I flinched uncontrollably she seemed to have this realization that she was scaring the hell out of me#(startling because sudden loud sound)#and seems to have made an effort to not scare big human who nice things happen to her when they are around#she only hisses now to say no or when something startles her#and is very nice and sweet to me#It was very surprising to me she recognized she was scary and changed her behavior to be nice to me almost immediately#I'm so happy she wants to be friends and associates me with good things#she'll be out exploring and if I start taking to her she'll come over#I'm not calling her#she just hears me talk sweetly to her and immediately wants to be near me#often she just likes to be held#and chooses to spend time being held when offered play time or to go back in her home#I think her knowing she has complete control and choice is why she's so confident. Sometimes I think she asks to go back in her home just#to make sure she can#because she'll come back out again immediately and start playing#a lot of the time she'll peek just to make sure she can see her enclosure#and that's enough for her to feel safe#and she'll cuddle me and we'll play#I wish media showed the true nature of these sweet animals rather than trying to make them look scary#a lot of the time the representation in videos is after the animal has either learned not to trust or has been intentionally riled up#but my gods if you spend time with them and they learn you are someone who loves them they can trust many are so so so so dear#A lot of snake videos are the equivalent of taking a feral cat and getting in it's face#if that's all people see they'd think all cats were like trapped panicky desperate feral cats#but that wouldn't be an accurate representation at all#yanno?
