#but still! it's just not the same

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.
All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.
#your brother is a vampire. he's sitting across the table from you chatting with your mother about her day#and he's dead and he's gone and he's never coming back.#he laughs the same and he talks the same but his arm is cold when he grabs you in a headlock and your dog won't be in the same room with hi#he'll still hang around watching TV with you and give you wedgies and make stupid jokes#but you can't tell him about the bullies at school anymore because this thing with your brother's face will just find them and kill them.#and not even stupid fucking Jason deserves what the monster in your dead brother's skin would do to him.#your brother is dead and lost and right there in arm's reach and gone forever with no hope of ever getting him back.#i'm sure there are corollaries to be written about like ghosts and zombies but this is the one i'm personally hung up on recently

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.
There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.
#writeblr#writing#writers on tumblr#writing community#creative writing#my writing#fanfic#fanfiction#one of those tropes that has to be played carefully tho#it’s important to show them wresting with it#and realizing what they’re doing#but being so lost in their pain they don’t know what to do#show they’re contrary feelings and that they’re still the same inside#it’s just a defense mechanism#also don’t make it seem like a flick of a switch#a slow process of relapse and a slow process of recovery from it is also important#not a plot twist for the sake of it#or played for drama#but a legitimate change with real consequences#just yappin#writing prompts#writing tropes#writing stuff#writing characters#characters#character arcs#oc stuff#tropes#trope talk

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.
like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).
but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.
im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.
#what the fuck.#unfortunately by the time i'd switched accounts (from personal to my poetry one)#i couldn't find it :(#this is why u SEND URSELF THE POST. WHICH I KNOW TO DO BUT!!!#i was so mad i just was like “i'm about to tear this commenter in twain” and . lost da post#if u urself are the 29 and got recently flamed by instagram#i love u. come here. write with me. i was about to pick up a sword for u.#i mean a BIGASS sword.#like we all know im a wlw girlie but the way ppl will be like ''id NEVER write sad poetry about a MAN not LOVING me!!!"#..... wowwwww ur so cool. anyway. people often experience emotions regardless of what u consider cringe.#& if ur gonna shame straight/bi women for feeling a certain way. hope u never write about the#weird relationship between u and ur father. or feeling different from ur brother.#or how ur male best friend fucked u over. since it's SO CRINGE. to have ANY feelings caused by a MAN#like be so for real. beloved. nobody is fucking saying this when men do it.#''oh it's cringe to like a woman or feel heartbroken by her.''#controlling women's feelings and actions???? it's more likely than u think.#btw op is nonbinary do NOT be gender essential on this post i'll kill u with my teeth#edit: btw for the person who dm'd me ''when is it misogyny and when is it actually valid''#pretty easy. if a man had done it#would it be cringe? . like if a man sang a sad song about ''she broke my damn heart''?#if he said ''i want to have kids with her'' or something sexually explicit?? like would u even LIKE IT if a male poet had said it?#& if it's like. nah a 35 yr old man being upset about this is cringe too. yeah it's just cringe. that exists. we both know it does.#but .... often i see this ONLY about women. and i can't help but hear like. how back in middle school#we were fed the lie ''girls mature faster.'' ... why do i have to be emotionally regulated? but if a man wrote about the same things?#..... idk . im pretty anti cringe culture to begin with. but this one feels so bad to me . ur still a person past 33.

i know ryoko kui is a real one because she wrote 97+ chapters of a manga about fantasy ecosystems and food chains and not once did she write the phrase "survival of the fittest" (it's a bad phrase) (it's a social darwinist phrase even) (hated amongst biologists) (doesn't make sense) (darwin didn't use it) (coined by an business major) (one of the worst phrases in pop science) (no good)
#i think the closest she comes to this is when kabru says something about the weak being eaten but he also thinks all monsters should die#so i don't think he's like the voice of reason when it comes to ecosystems and evo bio NOT a kabru diss just saying#i think eat or be eaten is fine. it's like migrate adapt or die. i think it's fine and not the same as survival of the fittest#dungeon meshi#ETA: i was wrong darwin did use the phrase after it was coined. doesn't matter phrase still sux

thought ‘what if the vintage skins were more in line with actual 1930’s cartoons design sensibilities’ and promptly went mental. plus a bonus two-tone dandy ! since he’s not playable and all
so some things i learned as i was doing this:
-solo cups were not invented until the 70s, so scraps has a tin can as part of her tail instead
-hoodies WERE invented in the 30s but were generally worn by warehouse workers bc of the cold. they didn’t get worn by the general public until the 70s, so toodles and cosmo are Not wearing them
-leg warmers were invented in the 40s but also didn’t get popular until the 70s so glisten’s legs get to be naked. sad !
-GASHAPONS WEREN’T INVENTED UNTIL THE 60s. GIGI SHOULDN’T EVEN EXIST HERE. BUT I DIDN’T FIND THAT OUT UNTIL I WAS DONE DRAWING ALL THIS. OOPS !!!
other than that it was just a lot of ‘put gloves and/or shoes and/or pants on them. sometimes noses’
under the cut is All of them together and then also the sketch :]
#dandys world#dandy’s world#the art gallery#NONE OF THIS IS SHIP ART 👍💥💥#admittedly i enjoy glisten/rodger and teagan/rodger and that is why they are in the same image together. toodles is their daughter#but they are Just standing next to each other. and it needs to be more than That to qualify as ship art to me#they are not even looking at each other. ok !#<- i imagine i look insane to people following me who don’t know anything abt dw#this is one of those medias were the fandom ships anyone w/ anyone. so a lot of Just Standing Next To Each Other art gets taken as ship art#ANYWAY. WHATEVER. IM ACTUALLY STILL MAD I DIDNT ACCOUNT FOR GIGI. I COULD HAVE MADE HER SOMETHING ELSE THST COULD RESONABLY BE THE PR#BE THE PRECURSOR OF A CAPSULE TOY. FUCK. WHATEVER

The 2D vs 3D contrast of the sonic and shadow generation hubworlds cracks me up the more I think about it
Bonus:
#behold a 2am shitpost we're so back#sxsg#sonic x shadow generations#sxsg spoilers#sonic x shadow generations spoilers#which I'll tag just to be safe lol#this comic comes purely from the fact I was trying to play both games at the same time#swapping between them after each boss#and that really does highlight the difference pretty starkly lol#shadow the hedgehog#omega e123#my art#doodles#comic#still haven't quite figured out how to draw these guys but we're gettin there#to my knowledge shadow doesn't have a holographic map on him but let's pretend for the sake of giving him something to look at#he's a weird pseudo sci-fi guy he can have one as a treat#edit: you saw this before I came back and added in omega's symbol no you didn't

She's not like other girls
#She's suppose to be just making a pose but she kinda looks like she's crawling out of the ocean lmao#Making quick messy backgrounds is my drawing warm up now. Seems to have the same effect as drawing circles to me anyway#Also wanna study the anatomy of this weird pose from this meme#And tbh. I still don't get it. XD#Steven Quartz Universe#Connie Maheswaran#SU#Steven Universe#my shiz#connverse#I'm not like other girls meme#meme#I'm not like other girls#I like how Connie's hair had hung like a curtain when wet (and when lying down it looks like a puddle) I have had wished to see that again#I think her hair was long enough to do that again in The Movie and in Future#skedoobles

I'm in danger :)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#stage in playful land#stage in playfulland#smoking#my favorite horrible crime guys are back!!!!#(my hot take is that glomas had a better story but these goobers were just SO fun)#(they should be allowed to kidnap and murder(?) at least a few dozen people. as a treat.)#man i knew there was probably going to be a fellow card and yet i still did a bad job of saving my keys#and there's this year's halloween to think about too!#normally i try to avoid leaks and spoilers but i did accidentally see some stuff and if it's real then holy SHIT#on the other hand fellow attacks by basically throwing gidel at people and i desperately need this on my team#regardless of whether or not the card is actually any good#(if they change the animation to remove gidel i am going to RIOT it needs to be either exactly the same or EVEN SILLIER)#actually it would be hilarious if their stats were terrible. just the worst. and yet...#grown man and his kid with a hammer vs a bunch of teen wizards who can shoot fire#the results may shock you#(if they do the same duos-with-the-last-release as they have been with the staff cards then i will absolutely lose it)#(please twst. it would so useless to me but SO funny)#fellow: it's showtime rollo! :)#rollo: who are you

Taylors wift is just elon musk for horse girls and gays who are afraid of faggots
#punkblogging#if any of y'all call me a fucking misogynist for this#I literally almost exclusively listen to women fronted bands it's not because she's a woman#I even listen to pop sometimes!!! (I mean not radio pop but still)#she is just fucking lame as a human being and she's an awful songwriter and an industry plant in the exact same ways as musk#I could say this about most men in the music industry as well but no one is out here fucking worshipping... idek I literally#do not know enough men fronted bands to put together an example

#house md#gregory house#michael tritter#screencap#s03e06 “Que Será Será”#no matter how i look at it tritter arc is a mystery#it doesnt work no matter what#if you ride for pigs - tritter is neutralised not justified#against - theres no retribution or satisfaction at the end of this arc - just frustration all the way#ig s3 is too early to sent house to prison or give disease to that fucker#they also kinda make him use some of the same lines as house. but even he was an ingenious detective it still wouldnt compare

DPxDC Prompt
Sam and Danny were messing around with some occult books she had gotten and to both their surprise Danny got the spell to work.
Turns out being saturated with ectoplasm during the portal incident lets danny tap into the mana that's all around, and he can do magic.
As an adult he moves out and becomes a traveling mage, mostly doing seances for people and letting them believe he is a scam or not. Usually he can actually get contact with the dead, death magic is his natural affinity after all, but skeptics will be skeptics ya know.
One day he had his whole spiel set up in Gotham, the people here lose loved ones all the time and would gladly pay him to hear their dear nana once again, or get their mothers secret recipe, or say one final goodbye to their spouse.
What danny didn't expect was a certain mr wayne showing up asking about his parents.
What he double didn't expect was one of his other customers of the day being John Constantine
What he triple didn't expect is The Batman inviting him to be a consult and detective for murder cases with his seances
Tldr; danny figures out he can do magic after the portal incident. Becomes a real mage who pretends to do fake seances, and is now hired as murder case consult by the batman, while hiding that he's a real magician, and also hiding he is dead himself
#dpxdc#i couldn't get magician danny out of my head#he is still phantom in this au just left that behind him when possible#his magic is real and his seances work#but he acts exactly the same as every sham seance person#idk much about how magic works in dc but he would be able to do spells just like constantine and other such mages#maybe even be semi friends with raven
