Can I be real honest and admit how much it saddens me that Instagram doesn’t even let me check if my friends or mutuals liked a post or story without slapping me with “insights” and how good or bad I’m doing regarding my content. I? Don’t care? God forbid I just want to share drawings or funny stories just for the heck of it . why does everything have to be about your account’s performance.

I feel ill. All the fools and villains who ever fell for my ploys, they're — they're here!

I think the most baffling thing about the Tulpar as a vessel to me is the fact that the ship really did only have a one way communication system.

I know it was cheap but even the most basic of vessels regarding major transport would have some way, shape or form for outside communication. Not only that but there was absolutely no form of innate emergency signal to show they may have been offline or in trouble despite clearly having a system to dock credits if they went off course. It's another factor that really shows that bad situations are made to get worse by design. One person who is required to relay all information to the crew and make all the choices without feedback. No way to update or call for help in case of a dire situation. No way to inform of inner personal conflicts and acquire procedures accordingly.

It really is like they are all in some sort of fucked up solitary confinement. They have their own world with strict roles that are meaningless in the end, as long as the cargo makes it, it doesn't matter what happens on that ship to the company. They don't want to hear anything and will come to conclusions on what happened based on how much pay they can withhold from the workers. Even what they do send is short, sterile and corporate to the extent it was likely written and sent out with a command by some random unmanned computer in an office.

There's something to be said about how unfair it is to force absolute power and control onto one person when you as an entity could do so much more to offload it but I've said it many times before so I won't again.

Despite how much I suffered making my last isat au Aris sprite redraw, I decided to do it again and once again went through hell doing it. There’s like a billion mistakes in this (such as her having the wrong arm rip) but at the end of the day I’m still happy with how it turned out :]

Has there ever been an instance in all of RWBY where diplomacy actually, completely worked out? No violence, no betrayal, just two opposing parties de-escalating through conversation?

hey guyss

small rant thing about personal 🏳️‍⚧️ stuff below, sorry if it sounds annoying 😭

Lately for the past 2 years, I've been thinking about going by other alternative names. Because ever since I've started to actually understand my trans identity, my current one has been feeling pretty meh (for various reasons), y'know?

Even though I've been picky and thinking about it for a while, I think I've found a name that I kinda like: Vivien. While i guess it tends to be thought of as more feminine, I think I like the more androgynous feeling of this name, and I like that it can occasionally still be interpreted as "masc".

But the reason why I'm sharing this is is because, tbh, I'm kinda scared to share it with friends and family irl. Not because my friends would care (or that I would be in danger!!!!!!! im safe!!!), but because 2 years ago (after I came out as trans) I had picked out a different name and mentioned it to two members of my family. Both times I got made fun of. ☹️

It wasn't even a crazy name, either- like mold or sock. Was it a bit uncommon? Sure, but it wouldn't turn any heads. One of the family members I told was my mom, and her knee-jerk reaction was to VEHEMENTLY say that she wouldn't let me call myself that </3 (again, the name was normal.) But when she caught wind of her reaction really hurting me, all of sudden she had a complete 180 and told me that she thought the name was cute and encouraged me to use it, even though she made it VERY CLEAR that she DID NOT like the name. 🙁 and it's like hi um no thanks. I will not be calling myself that anymore what

Ever since then, I've been a bit scared to open up about any name-related stuff. ☹️ So I was thinking that maybe, for any mutuals who might happen to see this, that you guys could maybe call me Vivien for like, a week? As a trial run? I want to sort of break out of this shell, but I don't think I'm ready to even mention it to my friends yet. 🙁 Of course, I won't stop you guys from referring to me as my user, but I just want to see if this is something that I like enough to risk being made fun of again 😭

And maybe you guys could tell me your thoughts on the name, too? Personally I think it's pretty androgynous, but I don't really want to go by something that could only be interpreted as feminine and just screams "GIRL!!!!!🫵 GIRL!!!!!!🫵WOMANNN!!!!!!!!!! 🫵🫵🫵🫵" y'know?

xoxo ig, see you guys later *rides away on skateboard*

[writhe]

ok so yesterday i did my first run of the year! with a friend. it was great, i feel very pleasantly sore today. we did an easy 2 miles. but then i got back to where we parked and my car got smashed into and my wallet and phone charger were stolen. i actually feel like…not super upset about the whole thing, having to pay for new IDs and getting the window fixed will suck but the friend i ran with was soooo real the whole time & franklin bought me dinner. i didn’t actually have to interact with any cops, i locked my cards before the person who stole em could buy 900$ worth of gift cards, haha

idk. i genuinely find theft kinda fascinating, i think their whole M.O. was pretty smart & had they been faster i think they should have tried to buy something less conspicuous lol

I feel like there’s hands trapped in my chest clawing to get out but that’s okay! We stay silly!

I will say the one thing about Fathoms is. as a modern (assuming they are a modern. which. they must be right). they have likely been in the works for literal years. like. these guys could have been in development before ancients were even released (especially if they were one of the known in-progress breeds back before bogsneaks were out based on those... I think apparel streams/previews?)

so in all likelihood they're probably more emblematic of the beginning of the "same structure" issue than a continuation of it. I feel like we're so used to judging ancients recently (which are, as shown by livestreams and such, designed in a short period from concept to release) that like. maybe we forget that any modern release is just, like, a really old design. without the benefits of any feedback that has come since the release of ancients

i miss doing fun makeup looks 😭😭😭 need this eczema flare up to bugger off fr

[astranauticus]

having a favourite band you love with your whole soul is so insane actually i could be sitting here in an absolutely horrible mood then put a collage song on spotify and be like. oh im normal now 👍 <- extremely normal and well adjusted thing to say. tbh

[transwolvie]

I wouldn't say I.....lllllike West Side Story....I have. A complicated relationship with West Side Story. Lol. But I heard that the more recent movie adaptation made the protag white boy (I'm sorry. I forget his fucking name. They should've included a song about it and maybe I'd remember. I'm gonna assume it's Johnny cuz he's an everyday white man self insert and if I'm wrong oh well and if I'm right that's hilarious) even worse and more racist and that's CRAZY cuz even in the original it's so fucking hard to empathize with one side of the story cuz they're literally just racist street thugs that want to beat up Puerto Ricans for no other reason than the crime of being Puerto Rican, and you're telling me the new movie makes him WORSE??? Maria girl get OUT of there.... be thankful he got fucking shot! Good lord!
