still haunted that Supergiant is making a game with Melinoë, the Goddess of Being Half-Half, and didn't even have the guts to give her a full glowing arm. There were *fan* designs that gave her two-toned skin, but the devs can't even give her full spectral arm, let alone a matched leg? what??

#hades 2 #there was also a conversation in discord about how there's no body type variety in the designs which like. yeah #wasn't having body fat like a beauty standard among women back then #could've been a great chance to present non-lean body types in a positive way but noooo gotta cater to the conventional allo thirsters #you *could* courteously defend it as well they were a small studio that didn't think about this and didn't expect hades 1 to blow up #but the observation still holds

Lan Wangji goes to Lotus Pier (No relation to the AU of the same name)

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Another split type comic because I decided to be ambitious.#This flashback is currently beating my ass. There are so many timeskips within the flashback! My flow and pacing are wheezing!#I loved how this scene starts with the crowd's point of view. The observations and gossip add a lot.#And it helps reposition us to what the external perspective is on these two. Namely that 'they don't get along.'#Tensions are known! Even here in Nouveau Lotus Pier.#Ah...Lan Wangji never got a chance to see the Lotus Pier of Wei Wuxian's childhood and adolescence...did he?#It's not the same. He's not the same. Call them by the same name and people will know what you mean...#...but the first version - the one with the fond memories - is gone for good.#It's sort of interesting isn't it? How names can hold so much power and still be hollow?#We often get stuck over past versions of things. Be it ourselves or other people or places.#Change is scary but the truth is nothing ever stays the same. It's always moving. You're always moving.#It's okay to mourn the past. Maybe it's people you lost or the person you hoped to be. Let yourself feel the grief.#And then? Then you grow around that pain and keep on going. If you feel like you can't - remember you don't have to do it alone.#A side note: Listening to the tossing flowers extra is so essential for this scene. It's cute and gives us more of [redacted]#What's [redacted]? You'll see in the next comic!

I love how whenever I see people discuss wyllstarion, in the context of "justifying" why one ships it, there's always that of why Astarion would love Wyll, extensively; bringing up that Astarion said he used to dream of marrying men like Wyll, or that Astarion said wants to feed off of Wyll, or that Astarion would want someone chivalrous and kind who would put his needs first and who would respect his boundaries and his past. Astarion is the fave white boy and so he's shipped with many different people, and this is how people who ship wyllstarion express why he'd choose Wyll. But I almost never see extensive explanation of why Wyll would love Astarion, because of course he would. Of course he'd love Astarion.

#THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATION oh strangers on the internet NOT an ANALYSIS. I'm smarter than this.#Also check my reblog for more explanation bc I think ppl are misunderstanding lol #Sorry not to post about gay boys on main but I think about them a lot #Shadowzel are my faves I promise this was just on my mind #More in tags if you'd like to read them #Wyllstarion #wyll ravengard #astarion #Bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 wyll #bg3 astarion #astarion x wyll #wyll x astarion #Something something Wyll loves as easy as breathing and Astarion doesn't need to breathe but he still does #The reasons why Astarion clings to what he does and wanting Wyll who would keep fighting to hold onto what he loves #And Wyll holds on like it's second nature. Like he thinks it's his only choice.#The duality of people needing to explain why Astarion would love Wyll #while also acknowledging that Astarion wouldn't accept that Wyll loves him back without enough reasons #In fics Astarion needing Wyll to spell it all out for him while people acknowledge in discussion that Wyll just loves him. Of course he doe #there's obviously more to the appeal of them than just this of course #Wyll being the monster hunter who fell for a monster #Astarion having been soulless under cazador's control and technically heartless because his doesn't beat #but Wyll's does so freely #like of course Wyll would love Astarion. kind gentle gracious too-forgiving-for-his-own-good respectful loving Wyll #but astarion needs convincing that he has anything worth loving #and wyll would do it #he'd want to do it #Wyll finding no fault in anyone but himself and Astarion snapping him out of it with his no-nonsense ways

the way that diff languages sound r so fascinating they're all different and all so vivid

#russian is like the surface of a feather like it's light but not exactly “soft” but still very delicate #german is . cute ? i think it's adorable . it has a lot of momentum it makes u wanna talk fast and talk a lot #like it's squishy . sleek surface w a soft inside #thai is like song . it's like interprative dance or maybe a trust-fall . everything follows from the previous thing #it feels like a little fairy flying up and letting itself fall and flying up again and so on (for fun). its so beautiful but also playful #mandarin chinese is like . idk why but it gives me the same vibe the concept of Observation does . like to read and to see and absorb #and then to translate that into smth else . like . imagine a poet people watching or an artist preparing a canvas w practiced hands. thats #the vibe. soft and elegant and musical but like...in a way that feels lived-in. arabic feels wise ? like music or poetry u read #and feel nothing about then years later u stumble on and it applies to everything in ur life. that kind of vibe. like it knows more than u #and itll make sure ur heart and soul grows as big as its lexicon . polish is like snowflakes falling . it has the feeling of complexity and #elegance but it's also so so light and slippery and...maybe not elusive but the feeling of losing a dance partner in a waltz ? like fun and #light but also an underlying elegance and somberness still . turkish is like the feeling when u get a text from ur crush #and your heart tightens and you cant tell if it's really painful or really amazing . it feels like unrequited love . or a caress #or making out with someone when you know its the last time you'll see them. its beautiful in a yearning longing way #korean is like joking around w ur friends and you've stayed up until like almost 5 AM and youre so delirious that everything is funny #and ur speaking kind of lightly and openly and everything you say holds a lot of weight and doesnt matter at all. you laugh at everything #and youre practically talking in inside jokes and watching the sunrise together . one of them hits u on the shoulder lovingly. ur by a fire #yoruba feels like the metatheory of the matatheory . abstraction until it circles back to intuition or maybe #it feels like plotting the route of a comet or maybe like the soft warm whirr of statistics. trying to verbalise beauty somehow #when you know the best thing you can show it is by telling everyone just look!! look at the sky just look!#anyway yh i think i could do this for every language ever tbh

brain is still so scrambled from watching The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death in cinemas yesterday but...all i can say is. that felt too easy. far too easy. are we willing to bet that Ruby's story is not entirely over, and when she returns in the next season we will be unearthing that? or am i coping?

#i think the fascinating thing is. in cinemas we got a special message from Millie Gibson thanking us for being there #and how the episode would answer all of our questions...but not really #i'm still holding true to my theory that Mrs Flood is a Legion who is the embodiment of Story and she is influencing the narrative #but because it's television i can't tell if it was intentionally wrapped up so neatly #because if so...i'd be really really disappointed #we still don't know why it snowed. we don't really know why Ruby's mother couldn't be observed by a GOD #Mrs Flood's cheesy wrap-up speech and her wearing both one of Clara's prev. outfits AND one of Romana's has me side-eyeing #but. ahhhh i had fun either way. Fifteen was glorious as was Ruby #Mel is such an angel and i was weeping seeing her hold onto Sixie's coat and Seven's jumper #i WISH we'd gotten more of Sutekh but i think that had to be sacrificed for it being such a short season #just. rattling the bars of my cage right now #doctor who spoilers #doctor who #empire of death #the legend of ruby sunday #fifteenth doctor #15th doctor #the doctor #ruby sunday #mel bush #sutekh #mrs flood #ncuti gatwa #millie gibson #bonnie langford #gabriel woolf #anita dobson #starleskatalks

I think I'm gonna die soon if I don't talk abt Martha and her brothers

#BRUCE HAS TWO UNCLES AND HONESTLY? HONESTLY???#i am gonna fucking scream #literally wheres my post mortem panic. that scene where marthas and thomas families gather to decide what to do witj bruce #whos still reeking of death everywhere he goes and cant stand the taste of life #wheres my Philip kane -- the youngest of them the dumbest of them -- who says they cant just volley with a child #and have a contest over who wants him LEAST #wheres my jacob kane with a voice like winter observing Gotham from a clean glass window as he stares at the misery below #'do YOU want him then?' and philip stays quiet. hes serious. its unnatural for him to be serious. hes the stupid little brother #the jester. the family clown. he's thomas' favourite because he makes them laugh like a court monkey #and now he'll never hear thomas laugh again #and he still can’t bring himself to say he does #and bruce? bruce is tugging on Alfred’s trousers. he wants up. he wants to die #and alfred holds onto him and won't let him. 'take him.from me. i'll kill us both.'#AAAAAAAA #philip kane #jacob kane #martha kane #martha wayne #bruce wayne #HISSSS SHIS SSHISSSS #wahhh wails and cries #young bruce wayne

#not to rant in the tags or anything but i honestly cannot BELIEVE some of you still follow or reblog vaspider content #they are a Zionist and have spread blatant pro-israel propaganda #theyre a white convert to judaism and they actively support israel whether or not they acknowledge that is their material impact #they have spread conspiracy theory nonsense about ‘Hamas operatives in Gazan hospitals’ and justified war crimes #they also have actively accused just regular Muslims of being antisemitic #theyre the worst kind of crybully ‘leftist’ and they do their crybullying in favour of FUCKING GENOCIDE #like what the FUCK y’all i cannot believe anyone is willingly circulating their posts & additions to other people’s posts #this is someone with an easily observable habit of spreading extremely pernicious and harmful misinformation #someone who has jumped on bandwagons to accuse Palestinians of being scammers #fucking hold your friends accountable because spider is a pro-empire islamophobe who supports genocide in the middle east #idk why americans and westerners in general just give zero shits about Zionism among leftists but uhhhh i’m assuming it’s white supremacy #it can’t be said enough that Zionism is a white supremacist ideology #and a white american who supports zionism is a white supremacist regardless of if they are jewish or queer or poor or claim to be an ally #y’all are so fucking stupid for falling for ‘progressives’ and ‘queers’ and trans people who are literal white supremacists #sorry but it has to be said #so so fucking stupid #pay better attention #also dont get me started on spider being repeatedly transmisogynist it is so fucking bad #just because youre anti radfem and a transmasc does NOT give you a free pass to hate trans women publicly #OBVIOUSLY #being a transmisogynist transmasc is so fucking evil its not even funny #and the whole thing where people hide their transmisogyny and misogyny in general under the guise of ‘supporting transmasculinity’ is gross #i really really cant stress enough how reactionary spider is and the harm that they do on here because of their shitty politics

In a weird sort of inescapable, Schrodinger-y mental loop at the minute where I don't think that Hickey was worthy of forgiveness in the end, but I also don't think that Crozier was worthy of thinking he could deny Hickey forgiveness either...?

#Don't hold me to this I'm still figuring it out in my head #Like neither of them are in the right for me #They've both done so much wrong #Actually everyone on those ships did so much wrong by the end #None of them are without sin and none of them are in a position to condemn others for their sins #But yeah more specifically I'm forever thinking of that line #'I forgive all of them. But you.'#Like homeboy! Look at yourself! Listen to yourself!#What makes you think you have the right?#The Terror #The Terror AMC #The audacity of that bitch #The audacity of that bitch AMC #Cornelius Hickey #Francis Crozier #Observations #Meta #No coherence only vibes

He is at his limit.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #LWJ's breakdown has been a long time coming and I love how he breaks down. It is a torrent of emotions he can't hold back anymore #He bites! He cries! He throws a tantrum!#We know from bonus content that he was a biter when he was younger but that's exactly the point. It is a childish behaviour.#LWJ has been help up to the highest expectations to be mature and beyond any childishness.#He is selfless - cold and composed to the outside observer.#It is a false ideal to live by to be disconnected from everyone. You can't be a person if you are perfect.#But by god he was never perfect to begin with. He has a terrible temper and is awkward in social situations.#He's overly righteous and rigid - And so on and so on. Both him and WWX know each other for their flaws first.#And it is not about how other aspects 'make up for it'. It's about seeing someone's worst traits and going 'I can tolerate that.'#You can't ask someone to love the worst parts of yourself. But you can show them and have them be tolerated.#MXTX did not write SVSSS and MDZS's main couples to be about seeing the worst parts of someone and still choosing them-#only for readers to miss the point of what that really means!

I am so glad emergency vets are a thing

#tw for dog injury and mention of blood #Obi my dad's cattle dog cut himself super bad on some scrap metal in the neighbor's yard #Obi just barreled through it without any hesitation #i think my dad is going to ask the neighbor to clean it up bc it's right next to our yard #but anyway Obi was in bad shape #he was bleeding more than ive ever seen anyone bleed #he hit a vain in his back leg and i had to hold pressure the whole way to the vet #which was about a half hour (which was the closest one)#Obi is okay now #he's still at the Vet under observation #they had to sedate him so they could sew him up but I'm pretty sure he's going to be fine #he'll just have to take it super easy for the next few weeks :(#but god there was so much blood guys #i was covered in it by the time we got to the vet #i had my hand wrapped around his leg pinching the artery as tight as i could #which poor Obi did not enjoy #mind u i used to rick climb so my grip strength is above average #he also had a bad cut on his front leg and my mom was holding that #i didnt even have shoes on we rushed out the door so quickly #at the vet i left a bigger blood trail than obi did bc it was on my socks and clothes #my hands were coated in blood too :(#we grabbed a towel but i wasn't able to get it on the wound bc i was basically using my hands as a shitty tourniquet #my husband got left at home and he ended up cleaning all of the blood off the floor and he's surprised he was able to without feeling faint #my youngest brother was with him and he did almost pass out #my dad is in rough shape he just wants Obi to be okay #my dad said “i dont care how much it costs please save my dog”#which like same but also we're not exactly well off x_x or even okay financially #so it's gonna be a hard few months as we work to pay it off #so anyway how was ur Saturday night? x_x

Random small talk event at the yard sard set-up, very nice lady, but ESP when asking "Oh are you still in school? ☺️" I literally never know how to say "Oh I graduated a long time ago. Yeah. I mostly do art now" and she says "Oh to sell?" and so far I'm having a reasonable and effective small talk conversation, when I hit that pitfall and lock up and I worry I'm becoming unfriendly bc I locked up. Because I REALLY don't know how to say, "Nah, I kind of do fuck all. I'm 25 and I do fuck all. For nothing." Like I can see the conversation tree in real time and I know that's the worst dialogue option. And there are no other dialogue options there's just Press B to get the fuck outta there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#MAN........#like it was inconsequential but always. when i have these interactions and esp when i come out the other side thinking #'yeah that wasn't my best work. i hope they don't think i dislike them or that i was inconsistent'#always. i'm just. failing Badly. at even the most basic human rituals.#a lot a small talk discourse fails to understand that it's free dialogue options. if you. have the knowledge of the dialogue options.#but i'm stuck between a quick time event and my knee-jerk reaction to answer honestly (but How Honestly????)#and i'm also observing my neighbor's old man humor and scripts that are always a hit and i'm like. hm. interesting....#if perhaps i can replicate such a thing........#can somebody please for the love of god help me. every day i wake up and i'm autistic.#'inconsistent' ???? inconsiderate. hello #idk maybe both can work. 20 regular interactions in w me things are going swimmingly we're good acquaintances ect ect #i can still just fully forget how to be a person and i clam up and get impersonal and curt.#it's literally no ones fault. i'd dare even say it's not even my own fault. it's just. the autism experience.#also something something there should be more scripts for people who haven't achieved certain milestones in life #an easy way to say 'yeah i barely graduated highschool and i never went to college and i can't hold a job and i live w my dad #and i don't mix my passions w profit bc it's the primary way i regulate myself and it's all about my special interest anyway #AND i'm 25. so. real catch of a guy here tbh'#please for the love of god Help Me.

I found my relatives who are estranged because they left the cult (among other, much more complicated things)… and through their friends list I found my creepy uncle who I saw exactly once in person, walking through a foyer at a funeral.

Now, I bear a striking resemblance to my late grandmother so I could theoretically scare the living bejeezus out of him… 👀 but I’m not going to do that or talk to any of them right now in any way; because I don’t want to open that can of wormssssssss

#I guess it’s in that side of the family’s DNA to scheme and be evil and covertly cause as much mayhem as possible #I’ve inherited a double dose of whatever that is because I’ve been dying to cause widespread mayhem in disguise #hungering for it even— THIRSTING AS IF MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT #But there are no healthy or morally correct ways to Do That right now; so I guess I’ll suffer until I find an opportunity #I have no problems with my relatives. I like my relatives and would love to speak to them #However uh… the uncle #And of course the man’s profile picture is with him holding a toddler… fucking yikes #I mean maybe he’s reformed #He’d better be #Otherwise I will put on my rain boots #pack my bag with granola bars #and with a compass in my hand walk eighty miles north to beat his skinny ass into a seething pulp #[Caligula voice] “Get a dog who’ll eat a dog.” I am that dog. I am now #going #to bark at you #Woof woof barkbarkbark woofwoofwoof bark bArk—#Just imagine me jumpscaring him at his door absolutely drenched in sweat like “Hello uncle I’ve never formally introduced myself to you #My name is [Tarrie]. Prepare to die.” and then I immediately fucking pass out and impale myself on my folding scissors #because I’ve been walking for 80 miles straight only eating granola bars birch bark and dandelions #That would be horrifying and extremely embarrassing… so this is proof that this is all a joke and I would never do that #because I value… [checks notes] my health. Yes. [nods emphatically]#No the real reason is because I have no viable way to figure out any reason why he hasn’t reformed from many decades ago #which sucks because I prefer to deal in absolutes but that’s the way it is and my resources would be better spent observing other things #which I KNOW are actively harmful to others in order to fix them #[Caligula voice] But fear not dear uncle (derogatory); I’ll still stalk you from afar

Hollow Julieta, whose patience was gone the second her alternate daughter said a villain monologue: *TRYING TO BE UNCHARACTERISTICALLY ANGRY AS POSSIBLE* I HAD INTERCOURSE WITH YOUR FATHER.

So you said a while ago underfell was your favorite au before. Is that still true or?

Also who’s your favorite character from whatever au you like?

damn, you were around for that? :'D

yeah, underfell used to be my favorite! i think it was smth about being really edgy as a kid, or maybe it was because red was my favorite color. idk man, even now i gotta admit those designs slap really hard.

i'm not really sure if i have a favorite au now though. i do have some ideas for underfell that i like, but i think i see the appeal of most aus bc i just like making new scenarios.

i like the big three a lot (classic, fell, swap). sans is my favorite in classic (predictable i know) if you're not counting gaster, since he isn't technically a canon character. i like both fell paps and fell sans equally, and swap paps is cool. i'd be buddies with that guy.

(i also really like asgore in undertale. the tragedy of the grief-stricken ruler who kills even though it's against his nature for the freedom of his people but also because he's long past convinced he's in too deep is really compelling to me, and by proxy i'm interested in the theoretical stories of all the fallen humans including frisk. also the whole thing with their broken family and chara and—

—whoops the ask is about aus not canon lmao, sorry!)

#ney's chatter (ask answers)#captain talks about undertale #i have trouble putting my thoughts about characters into words sometimes but #i really do just enjoy delving into ideas and character motivations #so any version of a character i end up liking might end up with a kind of interpretative spin #i do like to stick closer to canon stuff because i like working off something that has solid bones #(pun not intended)#but with aus it gets more flexible so there's room for messing around ig #i think part of why a version of the skelebros ends up being a fan favorite is because of how they tend to get the focus in content though!#which isn't necessarily a bad thing—just a personal observation #i've always liked sans though because it kind of felt like he was the only Real character. the one who saw you.#that's probably why a lot of people liked him actually #we all know i'm a sucker for media that really includes the player on a meta or emotional level #and some of that honestly might have started with undertale #it holds you accountable in a way; you know? through sans’ judgement and flowey’s color commentary #i think flowey stuck with me in a different way though—him being alone in the underground maybe forever not by force but by choice is...#kinda haunting still.#so maybe add him onto that list. poor kid.#... wow there's a whole other post in the tags here isn't there #my bad lol
