We already got the Minecraft movie, it's called "Let's Actually Play Minecraft Again" by RT "Drift King" Game.

#occasional thoughts #minecraft #minecraft movie #rtgame #rtgame daniel #no but like in all seriousness #i think rt's playthrough truly captures the essence of minecraft #of setting goals because you want to #to do whatever you want in your world at your pace.#to take things slow. that you dont require efficiency if you dont want it #he does what he wants. he discovers things naturally. theres a wonder in that world #of learning how to live in the world instead of taking the world under your control #to slow down and to love. to experience. minecraft is not made just to find the best of the most efficient #but to be self-motivated to do whatever you want #rtgamecrowd #it got me so inspired i wrote a fucking prose poem for this playthrough #he took the time to love the world. to learn about it. and in turn. it loves him too

attempt to idly discuss concept of custom wedding vows with 🌸 ground to a halt after the realization that neither of us actually, like, wants to try to figure out what the fuck we'd be promising

can you do custom vows, but instead of vows to do stuff, it's just a list of the superbly good qualities of the other person in order to make it clear why any rational actor would agree that you should obviously plan to keep hanging out with them as long as possible

#getting married is not really a thing id be doing in order to concretize any promise that isn't 'we really really want to keep doing this #and want to experience various economic benefits of that desire and also invite my family to celebrate about how great 🌸 is'#it's not that i don't consider us to have commitments to each other it's just like. the vows would be essentially 'i promise to try to have #continuity of personality with my current self to the extent that that bears on the qualities that make our relationship work well'#i don't know why it bothers me so much. but the idea of idk. promising to always listen to 🌸 or whatever feels genuinely horrible #it's sort of. parodic? either i'm doing it and/or have given good reason to believe i would be receptive to and capable of working toward i #or not. and either way. why are our families watching us reiterate that information.#on the other hand i would REALLY like to get up and give a speech about 🌸's innumerable deeply admirable qualities which strongly #motivate me to continue living with and knowing and supporting them.#so if i do that instead. do you think anyone will like. notice.#box opener #i guess it's good to realize that i have a STRONG IDEOLOGICAL OPPOSITION TO WEDDING VOWS before we're publicly engaged #but also. we are really rejecting a lot of the wedding concept. it's possible this is going to end up being two speeches and a dance party.#a rabbi can stand nearby. for ambiance.

Wanting more homoeroticism in the tension between the show’s leads as the narrative introduces greater intimacy and higher stakes between them, especially in a landscape that lacks queer representation who isn’t a villain or dies within one or two episodes, but also recognizing that core values/motivation for these characters lie in their relationships with one of two major female characters in an on screen sausage fest where the only other woman is a morally reprehensible femme fatale and erasing and/or vilifying female leads in favor of conventionally attractive males is a common practice observed in fandoms that’s rooted in misogyny and justified under the guise of rejecting heteronormativity, thinly veiled double standards, or claiming the woman is simply not interesting enough and not wanting to bolster that mindset

#the worst of evil #you know who’s not interesting enough? haeryeon!! bibi’s acting the hell out of her and slaying while doing it #but idk anything besides she’s willing to subvert her dad for dick and values money over everything else #and also she’s hot which is great for me!! but also the male gaze #and I also get it - we don’t know much about euijeong in her limited screen time besides her relationships to junmo/kicheol #but she is given so many traits that are silently conveyed like compassion and bravery and sacrifice #she brought a fucking gun to her date with kicheol like the conflicts and motivations here are SO JUICY #her exasperation guilt and despair with the investigation; esp after listening to the voicemails #what’s the self respecting thing to do; do I still love my husband if he loses himself; can I continue a game I never wanted to play #at the cost of my life or my family’s life?#even though a lot of her choices are for her marriage she’s using whatever agency she has in her own terms #kicheol works to be an honest man and make a difference partly bc of her #not trying to place the burden of fixing men on her but ignoring her impact in the boys’ lives is wild #ship whoever you want hate whoever you want but don’t deride a woman just cuz ‘she’s in the way’ ya know #all this being said; kicheol bringing junmo home after he RAMPAGED seemingly on his behalf - literally who else is doing it like them #the yearning all around - I get it now; we need gangster mob!throuple to get any shit done around here (and for all 3 to stay alive 🫣🙏)#but the reality next week is gonna be so so bitter

I have personal beef with most of the tiktok mlp infection aus because of how they mischaracterize or immediately kill off Twilight as if she doesn't literally give off the most potent Final Girl vibes 💀 like she's smart, strong, and knows how to function both alone & w/ a group. Her ass would NOT be dying immediately. Then if they don't make her the first to die they usually make her the evil-scientist villain or something.

Really missing the whole point of why survival horrors are scary, the main conflict should revolve around the struggle of surviving in a wasteland and the strained relationships that come along with that. What good does having a "main antagonist" do? They defeat them and then what? There's still zombies outside

#my little hater rant now that the trend has passed its peak and most people who wanted to throw their hat in the ring have #i really like some of them don't get me wrong #but i feel like a lot of them put their all into the designs and then don't have the same inspiration to write an impactful apocalypse STORY #and as a big twdg fan growing up i'm a big fan of survival horrors #the main conflict of any apocalypse story should always be man vs. nature bc zombies/walkers/whatever are all usually mindless #they don't have a motivation. it's the protag who has the motivation to survive #ofc you can have man vs. man or more importantly man vs. self sideplots but there's usually no “big bad” of any apocalypse story #there's no villain to defeat where once you do everything goes back to normal. unless you want to take a cop out route #and say that person was just hiding the cure all along #but not having a villain is a lot different from ANY mlp arc where there's always a main antagonist to defeat at the end of each season #like tirek or discord or chrysalis #which I think is why so many people making these aus struggle with this concept so much and why a lot of them feel directionless #because a lot of apocalypse stories end with the main character dying or leaving it open ended for a REASON #as both a mlp and survival horror fan I love both of these medias and this rant comes from a place of love btw #this is just me rambling about my interests #basilspeakss

Justice for jolyne wdym emporio defeated pucci

#can i say maybe i dont like where this is going bc i dont like the priest. like why not have dio do all this. i have to endure his boring #self while not having any motivation bc i still dont know why he wants to do all this bc that backstory doesnt justify anything #while dio is in the background and he has a motive to hate the joestars and create a world without them. idk #this is like light and near but unjustified #i would have prefered the priest resurrecting dio in some strange way than him doing all this i think #and i still dont like his powers ☝🏻 they dont make sense to me and the evolution doesnt either. how can you just flip stands.#also his rant about how he killed all his enemies... josuke and giorno are out there now lmao #retracting my statement they changed the opening but just this last episode #i do like the destiny stuff like the same thing happens in a new world bc of necessity and the whole plot has been about things happening #because it needs to happen but why does this reset need to happen??? why does pucci want it?? so everyone can be happy?? why??#literally nothing that happened to him has been the joestars fault. dio brainwashed him? ok SHOW IT #like the plot is okay but the priest doing all this makes no sense it could be anyone at this point #okay i get it now destiny is like gravity.... but his stands changing makes no sense still. the disc thing got out bc of the plant baby. ok #but the gravity just changed to something else entirely??? to time??#he kept repeating time and space but a space stand would be the hand. gravity is something else entirely #its not like velocity>acceleration or star platinum and the world velocity>time. that makes sense #gravity and time is like my stand makes anything into ice cream and then it makes things disappear #rant at this point but yeah #okay control. the priest wants to know exactly what is going to happen at all times to be prepared and evolve?? and why would dio want this?#weather report...... i mean it was meant to be #yeaaahhh emporio roast him #irene and anakiss ajdhaisjaisjakakakak #i might be crying but this doesnt change my pucci criticisms #the ending song..... incredible choice #i think i liked golden wind too much and i cant control myself and not compare #but pucci doesnt make sense to me here apart from being a priest and wanting to fulfill 'god's' purpose or whatever that means #so now there is a new world but with joestars but they dont have stands?? or just pucci doesn't exist (or dio)#so just the prison gang doesnt get them. but ermes didnt go to prison either. idk #talking tag #watching jojo

I'm probably far from the first person to say this, but you can't tell me that this song doesn't just scream Aventurine, c'mon.

#like. i don't even need to explain it do i. the lyrics are Right There they speak for themselves #aventurine #hsr aventurine #honkai star rail #hsr #Seven.txt #music stuff #panic! at the disco #p!atd #another song + character commentary post wow mayhaps i'll start making more of these but i fear people and their Opinions #but whatever. if i don't distract myself with a silly little tumblr post im gonna have a meltdown so. here. character commentary be upon ye #anyways listening to this and thinking of Aven gives me chills every single time i can't help it #as usual if u disagree feel free to keep that shit to yourself this is just my opinion let me have it in peace #Spotify #'oh but it's too Positive! he's actually miserable inside! he wouldn't embody this song that's just the mask he puts up!!!'#yeah ur right. and who said i wasn't talking about the mask #i'm not saying that this song embodies his truest self necessarily. but i think it does suit Some aspect of him #maybe the side that's trying to keep going. the side that picks him up off the floor and pushes himself out into the world day after day #forcing himself to find whatever scraps of hope he can hold onto. the song doesn't say '*Had* to have high hopes' for no reason #i dunno i'm just spitballin here. there's plenty of ways you can see Aven in this song. if u Want to #if you've never peeled urself off the bathroom floor and washed tears off your face while playing the most upbeat song you can find-#-to try and summon the motivation to keep going in spite of how u just spent 20mins wishing for it all to be over. well #well then u just can't understand my vision here

the results of that "is fanfic a book" poll have shown me one thing and its that this site never graduated past that absolutely insufferable phase in 2013 where everyone acted like every book is the single most sacred thing on earth

#sorry rant incoming. you know like the people who got way too offended over dog earing or carving books for art or things like that?#that's what the notes section of that poll feel like. just way too many people (on both sides) putting way too much importance on Books.#like first you have the 'um ive read fanfic that was deep and beautiful and thematic so yes all fanfic is books' votes #which like. ok. ive also read really deep thematic screenplays but that doesnt make it a book its simply not. what a book is #then you have the honestly even worse 'um your reylo au isn't like the works of the masters its not REAL BOOKS' crowd #which like. yeah most actual published books are not as good as the 'works of the masters' whatever that means. so you have proven nothing #which brings us back to the absolute worst of all 'colleen hoover & co aren't books either' SOMEHOW #like. ok well i think her work is pretty bad but it was literally edited and published into literal books so #if you're going to decide that you get to be the arbiter of what books are Good Enough to count as Real Books well you've lost already.#because no that's not how any of this works. youre fighting one of the most famous Losing Battles in all of art discourse.#a book is just. a format that writing can be in its not some holy status you have to work to acheive #and to try and turn it into that is really stupid and self important i think because like again #who gets to decide what books are Real? what motivates them to make that choice? what biases are benefited from that?#i think its worth noting in conversations like this everyone wants to deny female romance authors the title of Real Book #(which yes a lot of those books are very shallow or badly written. many have outright offensive tropes)#but nobody mentions the equally shallow and offensive stuff by/for men. like william johnstone's shitty cowboy books for example.#no matter how you try to frame it youre going to lose the second you decide something has to fit your standards to be real art.#avpost #its very reminiscent for me of the conversation around modern art where people just want to say they know what is and isn't real art #based on like whatever standards they want. 'ugh its just dots it's not real art'. do u see where im coming from.#a book is just. a piece of writing that was edited and published in the form of a physical book. that's it. its a v literal if vague noun.#it can be something with a lot of depth and meaning. it can be shallow and hacky. it can be nonfiction entirely. its not a value statement #which can also be said about art as a whole some of it is very shallow and bad. some of it is extremely skilled and profound #anyway. no fanfic isn't inherently books but some fanfics have undergone editing & publishing and became books i think #and that doesnt mean that they're 'as good as' the classics by really skilled writers. but theyre still books #tbh a lot of the published fanfic books are worse than most nonbook fanfic. them being books isnt a statement of being more valuable.#its just a literal fact.#i think its interesting to discuss but i swear its not a huge deal whether fanfic is books the bigger deal to me is #the weird attitude popping up on both sides. which i think most people would also find stupid if their brains hadnt been like #totally ruined by an uninterrupted 5 years of insufferable-on-all-sides fanfic discourse that has ruled this website.

Maybe my writing is totally shit. Maybe it's boring and repetitive. Maybe nobody cares.

But do I care about these characters? Do I care enough to write about them? To tell their story?

Yes. I do.

So I'll continue to write.

Because if I don't tell their story, then who will?

#Personal #Please ignore this feeling a little under the weather lmao #Writing #Spilled ink #motivation #Fanfic #writing motivation #spilled words #self help #Recently I pondered the question 'who do I write for? Who do I make my arts for?'#And till now I thought I created for myself and the people who love [insert thing] too #But then I thought about it some more #And realised I write for my characters. Because I want to tell their story. Because I want people to see them how I see them #I draw things for the characters too #I want to show them to the world exactly how I envision them in my mind #Because at the end of the day making anything creative is ultimately doing it for someone or something you love #In my case its the characters #Asjhaskfs this got way too rambly and probably doesn't make a lot of sense #But whatever! I'll just keep going! <3

the last part of arlecchino's character short is giving bsd atsushi's orphanage director but i dont know how to feel about that

#basically this orphanage director was needlessly cruel to him supposedly to make at.sushi hate him so much that he'd be motivated #to live on because of spite and anger (iirc at least). all it really did was give him crippling self worth issues but like #when he finds out about the death of the director and the truth of what happened all those years he becomes kinda mired in conflicting feel #feelings etc. which makes the whole thing interesting but i dont know whether that kind of story would be good for arle #idk how much genuine caring i want her to display. bc that orphanage director really thought he was doing the best course of action lol #also on the other hand. this director's story is there because u're supposed to care about at.sushi，whom it affected，and not the director h #himself. so idk whether a similar gimmick would be good for arle. well anyways we'll see #on another note nobody has made this joke under the youtube video and i'm very surprised and impressed #but on bilibili: you can add like rolling comments on top of the video itself and when the blonde kid in rags shows up at the end #the ENTIRE SCREEN blows up with 'kakavasha is that you????' comments. help lmao #people have one braincell and it's hsr crossover #personally if aventurine came into genshin i would drop kick him into the next universe i just dont care for him as a character but whateve #ramblings!#arlecchino #genshin impact #NO MORE THOUGHTS. finals jail. bye

Umm hello,

Don't want to get your hopes up and all but I am 12k in for chapter 8 of Honey and Lemon and I don't hate what I have written so far. It is still a long ride until I finish and edit but I just wanted to let you know.

Take care 💜💜

#if you are a writer who is self conscious as well #it is my duty to remind you that you can write whatever you want #Just do it for yourself #look i am motivated enough to motivate other people #who cheered

I will draw the things that make me happy I will draw the things that bring me joy even if it's the same fictional character over and over again, even if it might be considered "cringe" by others or myself, even if I don't think it'll help me improve my skills, even if no one else will see it, even if everyone else will see it, I will draw what makes me happy I will draw what makes me happy I will draw what makes me happy

#hi this is about me feeling kinda embarrased and self concious about only having the urge to draw xie lian and tgcf and mdzs for the past yr #all my art mutuals and irl art friends branch out they have ocs or a variety of fandoms or they do painting studies and bg practices #and animation and different mediums and fully compositional pieces and i just havent had the motivation to draw anything but the same #handful of characters from the same fandom/media against blank white backgrounds or make silly tiktoks of them #with no creative inspiration or pursuit or experimentation ive just been drawing the same thing over and over again for the past year and i #get embarrased when irl ppl find my socials and see its the same thing over and over again #but im trying to tell myself its ok who cares draw whatever the hell you want #i love mxtx's works so much her stories and characters bring me so much joy ive loved being in the fandom and making fanart i just need to #remember that i do it for me i draw to make me happy i draw bc it makes me happy so if i dont feel like drawing anything but xie lian over #and over again fuck it ill draw xie lian over and over again ill do it ill keep drawing #reminder #bib thoughts

i've been told a number of times that mental illness is a dirty, filthy, no good liar. but like..... what if it isn't?

#to me anyway. it's lying to the rest of you. dont use me as a guide #but. anyway....#im much more inclined to give the mental illness and negativity the benny of the doubt than not yknow?#there's a non-zero chance (for example) that im right about the people around me merely tolerating my presence #and theyd be much happier if i were to just.... not be there #there's a non-zero chance the opposite is true i suppose but...#i know im awkward and off-putting and weird and also Not Good Looking #so evidence suggests the more negative scenario is true. right?#idk. what if i choose to believe that people do appreciate me and want me around only for it to be revealed that i was right the first time?#this kinda thing has happened before lol :'')#it was a situation i created myself i think so maybe it falls under self-fulfilling prophecy but. it still happened #the brain doesnt care if shit is homegrown lmao #i just dont want to be wrong #yknow?#im fuckin terrified of doing the stuff and working on loving myself #only to come to a point where all the alleged bullshit nonsense i used to believed about myself turns out to be true #is there proof somewhere? something refuting what im feeding myself??#i know confirmation bias or whatever is a thing. maybe i need to be more vigilant looking for evidence to the contrary but. like....#i dont know what im looking for really. or that i expect to find much of anything....#i guess people are nice enough to me but it's horrifyingly easy to find ulterior motives behind being nice #they pity me. theyre nice to the weirdo to feel good aboit doing some good deed. theyre a masochist. etc etc.#and if you ask people straight up why theyre being nice to you they get defensive. understandably i guess but.#why would someone else be genuinely decent to me (says the 'liar' in my head) im not even nice to me #i suppose i should just trust other people but. lol. trust does not come easy #i want to believe people are genuine. i can kind of believe it from a distance #but....#idk. i need sleep. i need to be up early #save me nyquil #to the void with love

Request drawing of Selena and doof at a masquerade ball in the 18th century

Oh that is a lovely idea! The costumes seem pretty detailed though (which is not exactly my strong side) so I bet they'd take a good amount of time to draw😅 But I like the idea, I'll keep it in mind for later! :)

#asks for selnia #to everyone reading this please note that I'm not generally doing just about any request #partly for the simple reason I already have a bunch of ideas myself and too little time to draw them all😭#my life is busy right now so I'm mostly focusing on my own and my friends' self-insert and oc x canon ships #and just draw whatever I want and I'm motivated for at the moment #also a reason I'm not doing commissions for the time being #but if you have cute suggestions for my selfships I'm usually going to keep them in mind in for future inspiration^^
