Sometimes I think people need to take a step back from arguing about Israel and Palestine all day and realize that there are much larger scale problems in the world. Everyone's become so focused one issue that they're willing to ignore and belittle the suffering of everyone else.
#I don't like to compare tradgedies#the suffering in Palestine and Israel is bad full stop#but it is so frustrating for people to condemn one relatively small conflict and act like every other atrocity they allow is worth it#people will dedicate their whole beings to fighting over 22k sq km and say 'oh well' to everyone else#The pro-human pro-peace idea has become centered around one conflict and it's exhausting#there are 3 times the amount of women being abused under the islamic regime than there are people in Israel and Palestine combined#but they don't get a single thought#there are 5 times the amount of people displaced in Sudan than there are people in all of Gaza it's the largest humanitarian crises#but they get maybe a single sentence#there are more uyghurs kazakhs uzbeks and muslims detained in internment camps in china than there are people in Gaza#but I guess that's too far away#25 million women in the US have lost their access to abortion and reproductive healthcare#but sure you should vote based on palestine and not the safety of 11 times more people#is it really even about saving lives if you are willing to ignore the pain of 100x more people just because you're obsessed with one war?#vera talks

invisible scars (referenced previous talk here)
[ID: A colourless, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood talking about Wolfwood's scars. They're both laying in bed and topless. Vash lays on top of Wolfwood, playing with the rosary around his neck. Then, Vash kisses a spot on Wolfwood's chest. Wolfwood asks, "What are you doing?" Vash smiles sadly, "You got shot here. In the last town we visited. You didn't even bother moving."
Vash props himself up over Wolfwood, who frowns slightly. Wolfwood is quiet for a moment before he says, "You remember that, huh?" Vash grabs Wolfwood's left wrist and brings it to his face. "And here." He kisses another spot there. "When you helped free the hostages from that robber..." Wolfwood dismissively says, looking away, "Was a lucky shot." Vash huffs, “Don’t brag. Jeez.”
Half of Wolfwood's expression is shown, eyes returning to Vash who is now sitting up, continuing to say, "And..." Vash goes on and kiss Wolfwood's right palm. "You got cut here, even though that girl was aiming at me." A moment from the past flashes, of Wolfwood grabbing a knife aimed at Vash, his hand bleeding.
At present, Vash moves down and puts another kiss on Wolfwood's right shoulder. "And here, from watching my back." Another memory flashes of Wolfwood and Vash back to back. Vash looks back as Wolfwood grins while holding Punisher, bleeding from multiple gunshots in his shoulder.
"And," Vash combs up Wolfwood's hair to reveal his forehead, "Here." A final memory shows Wolfwood with a regeneration vial in his mouth while getting shot on his temple. The next panel is framed in blood with Vash at the center, eyes wide and stunned in horror. The next panel is a closed up shot of Wolfwood's eye, locked on Vash's face.
Back to present, Vash’s head is bowed down as Wolfwood raises a hand to his nape and says, “Spikey.”
Wolfwood looks serious and frowns as he says, "We talked about this. Those were my decisions. They're not there anymore. Forget about them." Vash looks very sad before he smiles ruefully and says, "I still see them. All the time." He leans down so they touch foreheads. Wolfwood’s sorrowful expression can be seen as Vash says, "You protect so much. I could never forget what you've done to me. And many others..."
In the last image, they're drawn more cartoonishly. Wolfwood sweats and asks, "You don't actually remember every wound, right?" Vash points at a spot on his chest. "Kuroneko left a scratch here 7 times." Wolfwood, startled, says, "Why the hell are you keeping count—" End ID]

#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#another scars comic for one of the vw week days!!!! frankly i think about their scars WAY too often . most notably wolfwood's because#it really symbolizes a lot for him imo bc for vash it's a history of all the people that's ever harmed him betrayed him and the trust he has#given to humanity despite it all. its a beautiful reflection of his character and then u look at ww and presumably#since we dont really see him half naked Ever (shame) and i mean. i guess technically its a hc -- i assume he wouldn't have any scars bc#of the regen potions (which is why he doesnt have his t scars btw the regen pot took them away :pensive:)#in a way its like washing his hands of blood. giving him the body of someone who might never been involved in a fight never held a gun#but he knows thats not true yet he cant really do anything about it anyway bc he's still just human. if he stops taking the regen pots#he can't press forward. so its just a rinse and repeat and growing accustomed to whats inflicted on him because he knows it'll go away at#the end of the day. he's human but he's also not he's far beyond what could be considered a normal human but he still just is.#mortal but also not immortal. idk. i overthink about it a lot GMSKGMDK frankly i dont think it matters THAT much in the context of trimax#but it means a lot to me somehow. also thinking about how no matter how many times ww kills he's never numb to the sensation of it. maybe#the adrenaline gets to him for the beginning half but ive been rereading like.. vol 3? and that entire fight for ww#u can slowly see him spiral as he keeps on going on. anyway anyway. i love ww#ruporas art

but can you imagine Jace from Act3 end up seeing Viktor from season 1 and BECOMING absolutely crazy, careful, obsessed with staying with him all the time/making sure he doesn't get evil/corrupted by the Hexcore and still with the knowledge that this man saved him countless times from death, that he chose him in all dimensions and possibilities and that Old jace from the past DIDN'T realize it.
HI ANON. IM IMAGINING ‼️‼️‼️‼️
(I’m taking jayvik drawing requests! send me an ask!!)
#carissa answers asks#arcane#jayvik#jayce talis#viktor arcane#oof my art I guess#this got away from me. Whoops#had to fight back the urge to color this one in fully I’m grgrgrgrggrgrgr#also went into like a fugue state and realized when I was Almost Done that you’d specified act three jayce oops#my hot take of the night is- I think that unless s2 jayce really locked in and explained Why he needed the hexcore gone#s1 Viktor (esp if it was s1act3 Viktor) would Not listen to him at first. I think he’d think Jayce was being far too clingy lmao#exploring the dynamics between different versions of jayce and viktor makes me so crazy I love them so much#got this ask and started jumping up and down I just think they’re Neat#anyways ty for the prompt anon I hope you enjoy I hope this is the vibe you craved#sorry it’s not fluffy that was my original intent but as I said. this one got away from me

feeling of being watched
#eye strain#cw eye strain#tw eye strain#ralsei#deltarune#i'm in a new era of my art style where i just outline everything in white pencil and think it looks cool#every time i add them i do a victory nod twice at my computer like an old man who just hit par in golf#anyway bright colors hi - i noticed that i tend to default to neutral colors and stay as far away from hues as possible#when i first started digital art i saw someone say to NEVER use the upper right of the HSV picker and i guess i took that to heart#in retrospect that was bad advice; dull colors are safe... but they're still dull and it's good to practice using bright colors too#so here's a hard pivot in the complete opposite direction of my normal work haha#it was fun! but i did have to use a few correction tools to un-muddy my colors so i think i'm gonna do this one more time#you might think the caption is cool and ominous but really i stole it from temmie village#rich history of tem provides plenty of quotable sentences#also! i think i want to reblog my work onto my alt a day after it's posted#i haven't decided for sure but am thinking about it... if you think that'd cause too much clutter though lmk!

If I could gif, I would probably gif three scenes. The ‘what rope’ scene where Vash calls Meryl and Roberto his friends so that the townspeople of Jeonora Rock don’t lynch them, and then the scene where Vash says Meryl and Roberto aren’t his friends to Wolfwood when they separate on the Sand Steamer and Wolfwood calls him cold, and finally the scene where Luida definitively calls Meryl, Roberto, and Wolfwood his friends when he first wakes up.
It’s such a nice progression of his bonds in such a few number of episodes. For all that Vash is a nice guy, and has people he helps, and even family in the form of the people in Home, it’s possible Meryl, Roberto, and Wolfwood are his first friends. It’s only when the three stick by him even after Monev and finding out that he’s a Plant, that it really dawns on him that huh in his hundred years alive, he may have finally found his first friends.
Vash isn’t naive. He knows the capacity of people to betray his trust. He’s resigned to it in a way. But he still extends that trust to people. The plan to stop the Sand Steamer wouldn’t have worked without Meryl. But Vash still leaves the task to her without any assurance that she would do her part. At the same time, I get the feeling that he wouldn’t have blamed her if she did decide to run away, same as Roberto was telling her. And it’s such a wonderful thing that through the friendships he formed with Meryl, Wolfwood, and Roberto, the trust that he freely gives is finally reciprocated. (And of course he would always have faith, what with his experiences with Rem, Luida, Brad and the people in Home).
In the same way, Vash saves what was precious to Wolfwood which was the orphanage, Wolfwood eventually gets to return the favor in saving Meryl. Even though it was out of order, you can also look at it as Meryl saving Vash, who saved Wolfwood at the Sand Steamer, who eventually ends up saving Meryl. Even Roberto, cynical as he is, does end up advising Vash on occasion.
People get hurt. People die. It’s a dangerous world they live in. But it’s nice that Vash who always asks if people ‘need a hand’ eventually meets ordinary people who also ask him if he ‘needs a hand’ sometimes too.
#trigun#trigun stampede#taggin#vashmeryl#because fave always#but really it’s the friendship that gets me#vash eventually comes to trust the three of them#not because of their words but because of their actions#and I guess that’s why I like vashmeryl so much#because of the friendship and trust#I really loved the dynamic of the four of them#rip roberto gone too soon#I really liked the touches of ordinary heroism#like how rosa was trying to help meryl even though the bombs were attaching themselves to her too#or that one julai soldier who made sure he was far away from the others when he was about to blow up#like nebraska jr. too#or how heartbroken that one julai soldier who shot vash was because of his friend#which makes it heartbreaking when they turn away from vash because these are good and decent folk#but survival forces them to be cruel#nicholas wolfwood#roberto de niro

hohoho i am writing a remus & sirius confrontation that is ending up a little too mean and it’s verging on the edge of not fitting into FoD but by god, is it satisfying 😈😈😈
“Oh, stop pretending, Remus.” There’s a part of Sirius, not insignificant, that tells him to shut the fuck up. To bite back the words as he’d always done. They don’t expect it of him but he is perfectly capable of maintaining a civil tongue when needed. He just doesn’t want to, today. “You’ve always resented us, haven’t you?”
“Padfoot, do you even hear yourself—?” Remus’ amber eyes are bright, almost feverish, and Sirius knew that all he had to do was push.
So he did.
- brought to u by ‘i’ve been thinking about remus and i also recently read a fic that blindsided me w commentary on james’ and sirius’ social positions intimidating remus into compliance as an excuse for his cowardice and general temperament and got incredibly annoyed at how he is, yet again, victimised so i shall now endeavour to turn that idea around on its head using the ‘ol ‘u cannot help someone who does not want to be helped’ adage so help me god’
#u only need one guess to know who is mean#which i have promptly negated by adding that little snippet lol#there’s two distinct threads to this scene#i don’t think the two of them fit#so i’ll have to choose one and put the other in the graveyard doc#but honestly? even the first one has devolved into a ramble#that is now taking away from the power of its dialogue i envisioned#but james really needed some screen time from beyond the grave? so we have sirius slipping into musings ab hogwarts and his family#i rly like that tangent too tho#but there is a very specific grievance that i need sirius to air w remus#it’s not the usual how could u believe i killed them or even how did u think i betrayed james or why didn’t u check on harry#all of that shows that sirius still *cares* about remus and his opinion#i’m playing w the idea of him just. not. giving a shit. he’s more interested in forcing remus to confront some hard truths ab himself#hmmmm now that i’m thinking out loud. that makes sense#and would fit almost perfectly after the remus & harry conversation i’d put in the outline#huh#there really is something to this talking out loud method huh#truly a brainstorm#if you’ve read this far#my salute and thanks to u 🫡#pen’s writing

Mechi got three of these 'mystical shaman' offers within a week. He doesn't need a mystical healer, dammit! All his limbs are intact, and if they ever need replacing, he'll use bionics anyway.
After waving goodbye to the previous wild people- LeJeune, Hummell, and Eugenia- Mechi has acquired a new neighbour. She's a waster named Drill. We'll see how long she lasts before psychite dependence takes her down, I guess.
Cultists are starting a ritual to abduct a colonist?? Whatever will we do?!
First | Next | Previous
#rimworld#gracie plays#A Mechanitor's Message#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#slightly more polished art than usual#too many mystical healers out here#over-saturated market I guess#what we REALLY need is a good bionics dealer#we'd enjoy their services far more#ah well#What we don't enjoy are all these WILD PEOPLE#go away Drill#we don't like you#we also don't like cultist abducting us#I wonder what Mechi's crazy idea is...#tune in next time to find out!#cliffhanger oooh#have a fabulous day everyone xoxoxo

I think I just figured out what my favorite episode of 911 is. Not in terms of arcs or scenes just like the entire episode. And rn it's definitely 4x6 where ravi says the q-word and everyone assumes they're cursed. Expect eddie of course bc duh he has to be a sassy bitch about it. But like the ep starts with buck 3.0 and his clipboard and eddie being so smitten which is already such a plus. And then it's just such a silly and wholesome episode. Nothing too traumatizing or serious, just some crazy random calls and a lot of humor. I LOVE it. And don't forget this beautiful line from bobby: "they're so focused on what they don't have, they miss the chance to have something else, something real." AND honestly the entire dialogue after that line. Absolutely phenomenal. And while all of that is happening someone cosplays as a firefighter and steals the 118 engine. Like this episode is just flawlessly amazing in my opinion. And bc I love including pics here are some of my favs. Don't tell me you can't hear these.
#911 abc#eddie diaz#evan buckley#hen wilson#chimney han#bobby nash#buddie#911 buddie#eddie x buck#we are just going to ignore that ana flores is in that episode too#i honestly don't care much for her and tbh she should've run far away before going on that date with eddie#i love eddie so much but dating her was just not it#and just look at these silly firefighters i love them all so much#i will never understand why but they fill me with happiness#okay I'm done now thanks for reading this i guess

making a fankid but shaking my head the entire time so people know i'm against the societal belief that everyone's goal and only purpose in life should be to have kids and form a family
#i snapped and made a rock kandi fankid#she was meant to be a one off design to cheer me up and give me something to do#but i made her too cute. now im attached#her name is lacey :) princess lacey at that#idk what im going to do to be able to fit her in my thing. rock kandi or just a kirby kid in general was Never meant to be a thing#that guy's an adult in my oc timeline. and he does fuck all all day as he always has. it's a part of his bit that he's not anyone important#outside of being the hero of popstar of course. he's not a knight or a king/prince. he's not even an adventurer. he likes his planet#and wouldn't want to be too far from it so the idea of being an explorer doesn't appeal to him.#at the end of every adventure he always returns to popstar because popstar's his home#he likes just being a normal guy who just saves the world from time to time. he likes fishing and eating and sleeping#and making friends and juggling children. it's just what he does all day. he loves it.#he's always been happy with simplicity and living in the moment no matter how boring that moment is#and i fear that this would accidentally lent itself to a like. kind of a deadbeat dad?? or take away too much of his carefree bum-ness#technically this is ribbon's and fluff's spawn since kirby can't have kids. so maybe i'll just make the world's first kirbyless rock kandi#whatever you'd call that. Fluffbon?#they all live in different places so i always figured it'd be kind of impossible for it too work out in the long run??#or it wouldn't be That serious. not serious enough for a lacey#which is why i didn't make it canon to my AU and shit and only enjoy it at a distance slash in like a vacuum#so I don't knowww i don't knowww but i'll figure it out i guess#text post

Finished the Jigokuraku anime. Definitely incapable of being normal about this.
Some themes I really liked, especially right now:
-The greatest strength is a balance between calmness and emotion
-Nonbinary rights (with a small dose of anti-heteronormativity and a large dose of anti-gender roles)
-There are situations where working with 'the other side' is the only way to make progress against a greater threat
-What does it mean to have or take a life, and how do societal rules/expectations affect those perceptions
#I guess you could say those last two are in Ajin also#not so much the... well#actually yeah the first one#Ajin (canon) stays about as far away from discussing gender as is possible to get#Jigokuraku#Hell's Paradise#I know a second season is planned but I think I'm gonna end up reading the manga before then#not sure about this new character but season 1 finished out SUPER strong#loved the reset to some of the initial questions too#also you know I'm down bad when the white-haired character named Shion isn't even my favorite#Gabi

What they don’t tell you about autism is that it feels like you��re simultaneously one step outside of reality yet two steps too far into it at all times
#chatter#salt grain thoughts#autism#I truly don’t know what I’m explaining here#but this is what I feel like constantly when I’m inferacing with the world#too far away from it yet also too inmeshed in it at the same time#like I react to things with a weird sense of almost astonishment like I’m experiencing everything fresh for the first time every time#(I don’t literally go ‘woah�� or anything but the intensity of the thing never changes)#which can either be good or like most times overwhelming#it’s probably why I keep myself so zoned out a lot of time#…#might just be a me thing but this feels quite connected to how my brain works I guess#feels like my head is just never goddamn prepared to experience anything at all#which lends to the whole needing control over your environment thing with autism#gotta have some sort of expectation and consistency happening or else your nervous system might shit itself

WE SHOULD HAVE MORE CARDS LIKE THIS
#like that's all i could find. we should have more#when the character is far away >>>>#especially when it's trained too. makes it cooler#there are some other cards when the character is far away (kanade colorfes#but what i like about these is that you have to second guess whose card it is#a little with the cherry blossom one but with the mmj one yeah#if you don't know whose card it is it's a lil hard to guess
