still thinking about that stat chart....mhin fight back against the weak allegations omgg
#im a bit flabberghasted#TWO???? 😭 not even three TWO??#like i feel lied to i thought they were really strong??? are they weak in comparison to the other cast members? that doesnt really make muc#sense though considering their curse unless theyre weak as hell without it which i dont think is true either#only other answer i can think of is that its possibly in relation to other ppl with that same curse??? but that idea assumes that this isnt#something unique to them that this kind of curse is at least semi common which. gives me more questions than answers.#idk maybe this doesnt make sense im just rambling#also unrelated to that specific stat but self-loathing being 5 and wisdom being 1 is really funny#★ my silly text posts#my touchstarved ramblings#my silly theory posts#touchstarved mhin#touchstarved game

does anyone else ever just get like creative brainworms that are deeply distracting so it feels like your creations are trying to literally crawl out of your skin instead of like, appearing on your canvas
#not art#me right now#im trying to write a vander-centric fic#it is. killing me. slowly. or maybe quickly idk.#i just feel like i have some relevant experience that puts me in a unique position to write him#but at the same time i also want to develop my 'silco survived' au a little more#i want to draw the timelapse (he grows out his hair again)#i also want to draw young silco with his hair down#i am also unwell in both the 'vanco has its grippers in me rn' sense and#in the sense that i've spent the past few days sitting in a puddle of my own blood and various internal fluids#that should. in my opinion. STAY. internal.#but no. human body is a curse.

2024 reads / storygraph
Lord of the Empty Isles
sci-fi/fantasy
set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)
follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw
to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them
no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships
arc from netgalley, out june 6
#Lord of the Empty Isles#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#I enjoyed this quite a bit! But I think it could have gone a bit further in places.#It has some interesting concepts and a great cast of characters and yay no romance#I do have a lot of thoughts and little critiques...#it's p obvious where the plot is going and what's going to happen#There’s clearly a lot gone into developing this bond system but to be honest I still don’t entirely get it?#It seems to emphasise that the bonds just reflect connections between people rather than predetermine anything; but also the plot kind of#hinges on Remy and Idrian having a predetermined bond? There are a lot of explanations of intricacies but a lot of it didn’t sink in idk#It’s promoted as QP but to me it reads as a general platonic relationship. I generally expect a depiction of a QPR to have like..#some form of acknowledgement/depiction of the form of their relationship being a particular (undefinable?) kind#with some specific level of commitment? I’m being picky maybe they mean queerplatonic themes/vibes rather than saying it’s a qpr#specifically. the centred platonic relationship is good! it doesn't seem like a qpr to me; at most what could one day be that#also things are solved quite quickly and easily in the end - both the curse and the downfall of the bad guy.#I feared it would go down the route of blaming things on the person in charge rather than emphasising systemic issues which it kinda does….#It’s impossible to ignore right now just how deeply people are willing to believe dehumanising propaganda - and how 'telling the truth'#and exposing the person in power as bad doesn’t actually do anything so that happening here made me go…… oh okay. well.#there is room for a sequel that maybe will explore this tho. idk#complaints aside - I do recommend this! It was fun and pretty unique.#aroace books#no romance

I think about The Universe for too long and now I've grown really attached to them I gave them headcanons that when measured by the Headcanon scale is on the red as: You made that tf up 😭. Anyway The Universe uses any pronouns but prefers they/them with the intent and purpose of referring to more than one being. Also they use the royal we.
#aria rants#i am one of the isat fandoms outlier with the fact that im not only a the cursing of château castle fan#but i am also The Universe's fan and both of those were only mentioned in the game like... orz... man.#i love them but-- i cant just mindlessly consume content for em i have to MAKE IT MYSELF oh agony!#also like my interpretation of The Universe is like-- Kinda unique to me in a: only so few ppl think of them like this way#cuz the stuff ive seen ppl talk bout in regards to the Universe is like: they hate siffrin and loop or like:#they find their suffering entertaining. meanwhile theres me in the corner going 😔 man. cuz my own understanding of the Universe#is that they love all creation so much but their way of showing love is so incomprehensible to everything as a higher being

reading the comments of OI stories is so unpleasant sometimes like 😭 i hate seeing people rage and curse at characters who aren't the protags. bro it's not their fault that they're antagonists and they're not even THAT annoying lmao
#ch 194#'theyre here to make tesilid's life miserable'#me: oh no (expressionlessly). anyway#idk maybe its bc for me tesilid's life being miserable is GOOD for me as a reader#so i dont hold anything against the antagonists#the story literally tells you over and over that the world is designed to torment tesilid#like look me in the eye and tell me which family w unique looks wouldnt clock their long lost member right away LMAOOO#theyre cartoonishly evil for a reason#and they dont even play upon any evil tropes of like. reminding u of evil people u know irl 😭#whr is all that anger in your body coming from#wait. i just realised that the only chars i want to see miserable are the chars i like LMAO#i desperately need to see reed bloodied and beaten up#not bc i hate him (which is the case for some commenters on um. checks notes. the first bloody ch reed appears)#but bc i like him very much i just want to see him in a situation whr he isnt arrogant and confident like he usually is#are you telling me most ppl dont consume fiction in this way. lol#growing up on the 'i hope my blorbo explodes ♥️' website sure has its effectz#...i did not mean to use the z and speak like its 2000#anw im also j wondering if ppl who curse every minor antagonist know how stories work#like... stories need antagonists. you know that right#right. whyre u getting mad that the protag isnt having a smooth sailing life. lol#this antag literally JUST appeared how are you hating them already

so i'm playing through the xianzhou arc in honkai star rail and i am intrigued by how they tackle the subject matter of longevity and how deceptively desirable it seems from the outside through the lens of "long-life species" with disabilities aka dan shu. i'm still playing through the arc so i don't know what exactly to make of it (and tbh i think i need to research quite a bit on disabilities to really make a comprehensive opinion on the subject) but to be quite frank, i have never seen the angle of "how do those with disabilities deal with near immortality or so-called "perfect bodily regeneration" tackled before. huh.
#tho i am quite worried that the character that discusses the problems disabled people have with xianzhou longevity is um quite sus#(and the fact that they seem to side with the abundance aka what the xianzhou people establish as the bad guys)#i am quite interested in where the game will take this theme (and also scared because um wow this is kind of a delicate theme to explore)#(especially in a game about beating monsters up)#all in all i'm intrigued and i hOPE that the game will um treat the theme well because oh dear#but tbh the whole thing with the mara thing and how the blessing and curse of longevity + the unavoidable end of being mara struck#is very very interesting and i really fuckin like how that is established as a biological advantage and a tragedy for the xianzhou people#like it's very unique tbh at least for me#and the disability angle is quite unique too for me (tho i would to hope and pray that the game will explore it well because um yea)#(tons of implications ooooff we need to be careful with this one gfjdjf)#honkai star rail#hsr#xianzhou

genbu ai has been found dead in miami.
#JK JK this is really exciting im glad kotarous getting an ai singing bank first#the whole point of virvox is a variety of masc synth voices after all and hes got like a really interesting voice#like his goofy very character-y tone is pretty unique so thats gonna be pretty fun#i seriously would have thought ryuusei would be the first tho. mostly just because hes so popular#but then again his voice provider might be busy. hes doing a lot of vtuber stuff and theres the upcoming aivoice2 talk bank#and yeah i didnt think genbu would be first LOL i prophesized this......#i mean i didnt know for sure but i did think it would be kind of funny. and it is kind of funny <3#also low key... i wouldnt be surprised if they gotta hold off for a bit. genbu might be cursed? they have been so so SO unlucky with him#king of software deprecation. king of contracts falling through. hes trying. hes trying#so i was like okay the first ai singing bank might not be him KJDSHJfdsjhkfds#besides as much as i would like an ai bank for benby (i would selfishly prefer a SV bank specifically so i can have my SV conveniences LOL)#im pretty satisfied with his concatenative. if you havent noticed <3#also selfishly i hope the next singing bank announcement (whenever that is) will be sourin. i think hes another really unique vocal#and also i want that old man. i need that old man. who said that#but any of them im exicted for. the younger guys kotarou and takuto i think about a little bit less often than the others#but i still like em a lot so it'll be fun to have that (not)catboy around#when we get more info i may start planning out some songs for him to cover.... ruh roh im already considering a few....#edit: im hoping SV because i like it but i'll be fine with any engine. except someone reminded me ace studio exists#i went from no fear to one fear in seconds flat. nothing against the software ive never used it its just#subscription software is not something i can do orz. please anything but that. i will be happy with anything but that LOL

hhhhhhhhhhhh saboace royalty au. ace was crown prince but can’t use magic which is necessary to become king, so he renounces his title and becomes infamous for his eccentric tendencies to play up the illusion that he’s truly not meant for the throne and that his younger sibling has full rights to the title of heir.
sabo is born to a family serving in the royal court, has been a genius magician since he was a child, and is the perfect example of a young man fully educated to serve at the king’s side. which is why he’s allowed himself to be tied down into a loveless political engagement with the king’s heir, putting the whims of his family before his own and resigning himself to become the future ruler’s consort/spouse to legitimize his role as an advisory right-hand man.
but then the heir grows rebellious and denounces the engagement with sabo in public and ace swoops in to save the day (and sabo’s reputation), demanding his father give sabo to him instead. he steals sabo away and challenges his sibling’s right to the throne, intent on earning back the title not for himself, but so he can make sabo (who is heavily qualified to rule) the king - and since they’ll be wed, no one will be able to undermine sabo’s position as he will technically be part of the monarchy that governs the kingdom.
#op#i…aaaaaaaaaaaa iykyk but if you dont small tangent story time#i asked friends for magical show recs w unique magic concepts bc i decided to set the#toxic codependent forever-bond in a fantasy au so i can make it be a set of self-inflicted curses#the only free time i have is walking to and from work so ive been scribbling notes on my phone#thinking of what type of magic system to have for this one was becoming a distraction#esp since the focus rly isn’t on magic itself and only on aspects of the bond that show how unhealthy it is#instead of obsessing over it more i decided to have someone decide for me#flash forward one of them brings up using the fantasy yuri anime that came out early this year#then proceeds to give me the rundown of all seven published light novels until i cave and watch the pilot episode#its SO good i actually watched 2 and love anis and euphie and will definitely be reading the LN over winter break#also completely snapped me away from the au bc i am so in love w this now#went in to ep 1 with misconstrusions and fell halfway thru screaming this is so saboace core and i have a halfbaked plot at the ready#thinking smth smth sabo visits the palace to get acquainted w/ fiancee and makes fast friends w/ ace#then they realize they have legit feelings for each other and the whole thing was gonna be a play#on the steals-partner-from-sibling trope that i jus loosely dreamed up bc algard reminded me of sabo and then i couldnt not think of them#but then i finished the ep and went OH it went down like that!!!! thats brutal. and then i changed it#and then i watched ep 2 and changed it further based on glossed-over advanced plot knowledge#bc the solution to algard feeling pressure from a title he never wanted and anis rejecting it in the first place#is obv (in this very yuri-centric fantasy novel) to make euphie queen instead and legitimize it by her marrying anis#and then i hyper projected that onto saboace bc i love them so#yessa after letting me ramble abt this so i could resist the urge to furiously jot down notes: i think val made you worse actually#(shes not wrong also val responding w ‘lmao wlw wins again’ and nothing else had me in stitches#best/worst influence it is 5am and i have done nothing for my studio class yet am having the time of my life)#curse of the average hobbyist writer to always have good ideas when there is no time no breathe life into them#writing

TRAVELER IK IN NIGHTBRINGER LET'S GO.... I feel like there's a lot of potential for how she'd help the brothers handle Raphael offering to let them go back to the Celestial Realm, right? Right??!!?!?!
oh, good call, you're absolutely right!
ik's first response when raphael makes the offer would be to go "oh come on little raph, don't you realise god's full of shit" - i feel like it'd bewilder her at first that there's even a discussion to be had
she just goes "nah, they're not doing that." since she's used to world-hopping and settling in quickly, she probably finds it hard to understand the want to go back to a previous home once you've already settled into a new one
and while she's right in that none of the brothers actually want to go back, she's a little floored by the fact that some of them do consider it. and then she feels really bad for projecting how she feels about things onto them when she's supposed to be taking care of them (in this au, ik is the big brother)
raphael sort of gently tells her that "it's been so long since you last saw them, it's natural you don't know them as well. but why wouldn't they want to go home? don't you remember how happy they were back then?"
and then ik kinda overcompensates by going to lucifer like "little morningstar, if you want to go back home then you should do it, i'll stay here and take care of satan for as long as he needs me", only to find out that lucifer was planning to do the exact same thing... only for them BOTH to find out that literally all the brothers want to stay anyway
i think at this point satan would've warmed up to her a little, but he still pushes her away more often than not; ik promising to tether herself to the devildom (putting an end to her travelling) just to take care of him would probably put things into perspective for him, so it'd past this point that he becomes properly receptive to ik's big-brothering
#answering asks#anon asks#jtta aus#traveller ik#oh that reminds me#since ik's dynamic with the brothers means belphie and lucifer wouldn't distrust her the way they do mc#(and also ik's not human)#the whole ordeal in lessons 10-12 that involves the lesson-long coma would have go differently#it's debatable whether or not the curse would actually work on ik given her unique physiology#though for drama reasons i'm sure we could find a way to make it work anyway#(the traveller did canonically go comatose for 500 years in genshin after all)

hm okay well the bigolas dickolas thing was funny while it lasted but I'm peeved now
#battle litany#maybe it's just seeing a media that felt like it was only for me and my friends who like it explode so suddenly but it's irksome#and im probably just being a spoilsport but like. dark horse was already gonna reprint the manga without them saying anything so#IDK! i hate to be a gatekeeper but no i dont actually. stampede was a blessing and a curse in equal measures#blessing bc people are making more trimax and 98 merch and art. curse bc of everything else really#edit also i like seeing my mutuals enjoy trigun! sharing media that means a lot to me with people i know is awesome#i just hate everyone i dont know who likes this series. but that isnt unique to trigun#i feel the same towards ffxiv

I've been listening to A Voice From Darkness podcast and episode 8 was... a fucking ride
Dr. Ryder: oh, okay *already audibly amused* our next comes from Eric who writes: I heard you once fought Dracula. Is that true?
Me: oh haha, even if the supernatural and vampires exist in this setting I doubt that Dracula is real 🤭😏
Dr. Ryder: No, Eric, that's not true...
Me: that's funny, I wonder where he heard tha-
Dr. Ryder: - you're confusing me for my grandfather!
Me:

#a voice from darkness#a voice from darkness podcast#avfd podcast#a voice from darkness episode 8#dr malcolm ryder#the cat in the purple pants chat#that shit hit me like a pie to the face i was firmly somewhere between yelling “EXPLAIN???” out loud at work and hysterical laughter#very good podcast highly recommended btw 👌👍#very unique “magic” and supernatural categorization systems and world building is dope as hell#very funny moments too this one and a caller trying to curse him on air (i think in this same episode) had me wheezing#also fucking fantastic voice acting and storytelling btw

Also me: *refreshing my email every 20 minutes*
#tomorrow ill be doing dog stuff all day so i wont have the chance god bless 🙏#im also hopefully starting handling classes next week!#which is why i really need to start setting up a store to sell my art#on account of im literally on a 5 month timer before i get kicked out#on a lighter note also hopefully joining a local kennel club so thats cool!#im so stressed genuinely i feel miserable and anxious but alas so it goes.#minimum wage here is reasonable but not really when you consider how much i am paying for gas to drive to work/school/dog stuff#im just very lost. obviously cant work this job forever because it is so physically taxing and inconsistent but i dont have any other -#- options#like how do i begin going about peddling my art? how do i begin building a portfolio?#i HAVE a website but im not even sure what to post#what to write about#etc etc etc#i am a good writer too! i know im a good writer but i just dont know what to write ABOUT#what interests people?#what would people want me to do a deep dive on?#the blessing of being autistic means i love everything about purebred dogs and love doing deep dives on different topics#the curse of being autistic is i can leave no stone unturned and then it becomes overwhelming and i cant put everything into a cohesive -#- piece.#anyway. my situation is not unique but it is to me and the doom and gloom is setting in#apologies if you read this far.
