Was thinking about how much of a normo I come across as irl, how I’ve felt a lil odd person out at their shows bc of being a bit older (29) and looking so aggressively normal, how generally confused people in my life would be if they knew about my d&p obsession, how thoroughly i mask weirder traits and essentially codeswitch to suit the mainstream, etc.

i feel kind of fish out of water when I imagine how all the people that populate my tumblr phandom ecosystem are likely presenting to the world irl (I.e. more visibly queer, counterculture, and so on). But then I think maybe the most visible phannies are the ones with the most curated, alt, deliberate daytoday lewks/style? So maybe what I’m picturing is off base? But then I’m also basing this off of what audiences look like in audience footage, m&gs, etc.

Sooooooo i would like to know… do you guys feel like you present as someone who may be Deeply Online and obsessed with two gay nerds from the internet? Or do you hide it and fly under the radar, masking as a total normy and living a double life?

(To clarify I don’t mean you’re like out and about wearing the fringes boob sweatshirt lol I more mean vibes and overall lewk yk?)

I think it’s so ironic that the Pony Express escapes a lot if not all blame in discussion. I can’t even say I am excused from it but it’s just how hard people circle back to the characters alone without considering the environment they were made to be in.

Why would they design a ship where only two of the rooms lock? Not the bathroom? Not the sleeping quarters? We assume that all the companies in the universe are this shallow and careless to their workers but we explicitly know the Pony Express in extra vile. They are fed processed slop pack they can’t even really cook and the ration of those pack is meager at best. They hired and made people with a plethora of conflicting demeanors and beliefs work together on a mission where cohesion is important if not an outright necessity and punish them for not being happy about it. There’s no social protocols, not chain of command other than Captain’s word/choice and the only way to enforce that is with a literal firearm. They don’t allow them to celebrate freely and even took away leisure activities that would make them less stir crazy. They are only allowed a few hours of sleep despite their being no other real responsibilities or work on the ship, no matter the position or its importance. With any crew, with any level of synergy, this was a powder keg waiting for a spark.

I’m not saying characters that made mistakes didn’t make huge ones, but I think part of the horror is that at least for some (this is targeting Jimathan) those mistakes are partly made by a force of the hand. There’s a running theme of lack of choice and being forced into something and the very nature of how The Pony Express expected them to function plays a big part.

Been inundated with posts about the character descriptions in the 7seas mxtx releases, and I just wanna say that I find it the highest level of disrespect how a publisher treated someone’s serious writing that they bought the publishing rights for as a little jokey joke that’s lead to so many people’s misconceptions about said book. Tell me: why do these character sheets include publisher/translator opinions on the characters? Why do these character sheets directly go against what the actual text has to say about these characters? Why do these novels need character sheets?

I’m sorry, I just gotta fucking go off for a second

venting below the cut regarding white women being fucking stupid and voting for Trump

I’m so grateful that the tumblr community as a whole seemingly is on the right side of history and did not vote for a literal rapist, but holy FUCK—The amount of white women getting on their moral fucking high horse and trying to preach “making peace” with people who literally voted for the end of democracy is fucking INSANE.

If you voted for Donald Trump, I literally have zero respect for you. This is not up for debate, this is not a matter of ‘opinion’ when people are losing their rights, and when people are literally going to fucking die because y’all wanted cheaper groceries and a fucking tax break?? Which, btw, you aren’t getting!

Fucking white women once again proving that they will historically be compliant to white men, as if they think they’re gonna be pardoned because they voted for Trump???

The only people in this country that are pardoned from losing their rights is white men.

Get it through your white privileged, thick skulls that there’s not going to be a swimming pool, you stupid slut. There won’t even be a house.

MBTI & Inner Monologue

Okay MBTI Community, gonna need your help with this one for SCIENCE.

What is your MBTI type, and what pronouns do you use in your inner monologue when talking to yourself? I.e. “I need to do [XYZ]”, “you need to do [XYZ]”, or “we need to do [XYZ]”. OR do you use something different?

Reblog with answers so I can make fun graphs

thinking about Lucifer reuniting with Ozzie and Bee, and after many tears, hugs, and strange but wholesome bonding rituals, they’re sitting around chatting and they spill the tea about how Satan claimed to have been in charge long before Lucifer

and I’m torn between Lucifer being absolutely offended and appalled, wings popping out and puffing up, saying, “this fuckery shall NOT STAND!!” and having to pace around a while in the effort not to go down to Wrath and set the record straight right now

or. Lucifer is surprised, angry, confused, but then deflates and says “he might as well be. what kind of ruler am I, anyway? I’ve been depressed for 10,000 years, I don’t like politics, I abandoned you guys and my daughter, and I’m the reason all this happened in the first place! he can do what he wants.”

i contain multitudes and can say that i am a little :( about vex and percy being teammates with benefits because i think there’s something particularly heartbreaking about the dynamic that was neither of them ever said a thing even though they both were aware of it and it took losing percy for vex to finally admit it and Even Then, she couldn’t say it to percy’s face when they got him back, percy was the one who had to make the first move (that they were both alive for at least) and he was only able to do that because he’d heard her confession, because he never would’ve thought otherwise. to be clear, i also very much enjoy the story being told, i think i just wish they’d maybe committed more significantly to This Is A Campaign-Inspired Story Rather Than A Retelling sooner in the show so that maybe there would be a bit more grounding or set-up for the storylines the narrative is focusing on (and i understand why they wouldn’t), because i think they’re doing very well with percy’s arc for example, because they started with focusing on his and keeping his beats mostly the same and that seems to be much the same case as some of his second wave of meaty character stuff has arrived. but with vex they’ve aimed for the same character beats but it doesn’t always feel as earned or really feel like much character at all; i think saundor particularly was a bit of an :/, since in the campaign it was really a catalyst for vex interrogating her role in the party and her morality and something she struggled to get over and that haunted her far beyond the walls of that tree, but in the show it hasn’t really had a clear impact on vex beyond the scope of the episode itself — syldor certainly has, but the challenge that saundor presented didn’t really have much weight beyond its moment. and obviously a large part of that’s also probably just, 7 protagonists and wanting to expand the perspectives to antagonists and give more room for side characters is a lot of things to cover. and, i say with love, perhaps a bit too ambitious for a 12 episode per season, ~22 minute runtime show if they want their characters to have the kind of depth that really makes campaign 1 shine the way it does.

I love Mizu5 and it emotionally devastated me but can we PLEASE talk about Mizuki’s dress

it’s so well made and AUGH it hurts. the way it looks like it’s been ripped, making her vulnerable and showing something so raw but so vibrant underneath. and the rip doesn’t look intentional; obviously, it looks like someone was grabbing at her to either make them stay or to try and expose her for “what she really is”. it could also be said that it looks unfinished, just like she never got to finish telling Ena about her secret.

I think it’s a bit of both, personally. especially paired with how the rest of the cards look and how they all have something of Mizuki’s. Ena has a bright pink ribbon for Mizuki (and the card looks like Mizuki’s trained Uncompromising Obsession card, and with the way that Ena is looking at the puddle and touching it longingly? I’m going to explode), KAITO has a ribbon from Mizuki’s dress, same as Mafuyu, but Mafuyu’s is a pale pink and she has a rose in her umbrella that she’s looking at with a sort of detached sadness (note how Ena and KAITO have rose petals too, there’s something there that I don’t have the mental energy to work out). Kanade has a bow that (and and from what I can see on twt, other people think this too) like the one on Mizuki’s Feelings That I've Come to Realize dress.

Back to Mizuki’s card though— there’s so much detail in it that makes me go a little insane. Like the broken mirror in the back. Excuse my dramatics, but it breaks my heart to see that her mirror is broken like that. Don’t have too much more to say on that besides YEEEOUCH

Going back to the connection between this card and the Feelings That I've Come to Realize card, I’m pretty sure it’s the same room? It looks like that to me, but I don’t know if I’m just fully loosing it at this point gonna be honest. Again; don’t have too much more to say on that other than I think it’s neat. maybe I’m just reading into things too much, but I’ll still put both side by side to show what I’m talking about because I swear this means something that I don’t have enough braincells at the moment to put into words

Unrelated to the cards: I also love how Mizuki feels set apart from everyone, even in the song, they don’t sound like they fit with the rest of the group, and it’s so heart breaking especially with how she’s not going to be in the real world in the game until this gets resolved [probably] (hopefully in ena5 or I’m gonna lose it /hj)

and another thing —I think colorpale really did a good job of portraying the absolutely paralyzing fear of coming out and the horror of being outed, and the ena’s and Mizuki’s VAs performance was SO GOOD, especially at the last chapter. there’s a reason why Mizuki’s va said she was crying

anyways sorry for the incoherent ramble I stayed up all night for this after a long and frustrating week at work, but the TLDR is that this event was so good and all of the detail is amazing AND this is definitely one of my favorite events ever

Do you ever see a man so beautiful you forget how to breathe and you double over and clutch a hand to your chest and you can hear your heart hammering in your ears and you start coughing and shaking

i like to refer to myself as a “boogara-enabling shaniac” when prompted. do i believe in the paranormal? no, not at all. will i defend and take ryan’s side every single times he brings up ghosts, aliens, or cryptids knowing good and well that i don’t believe in them? absolutely! :)
