you know, slay the princess is one of those beautiful transcendental experiences that I want to talk to everyone about, but can't because I don't know which routes my friends have gone down and I don't want to spoil it bc its so beautiful

i love opening up a sewing pattern and finding that their version of a size 10 is a TWENTY FIVE INCH WAIST
#for context i am a size 10 in every pair of jeans i own#and my waist is 29 inches#according to this pattern i am a size 16#which is insane#and also means i have to buy the larger version of the pattern!#deeply frustrating#nettle talks#sewing

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."
#now granted he did die of a drug overdose but you know. one can take the good lessons#anyway. point being i understand being deeply frustrated with the state of the tv and film.#but also we can admit that for every gem canceled there's like three real duds too#idk if you want something that's guaranteed to have a bunch of seasons and you know the ending for go watch shows from the 70s#the number of adults on this site who lack the emotional wherewithal to watch an ongoing narrative is. yikes.#queue

post magic reveal merlin who is so used to working in the shadows and continuing on as if he wasn’t dying the night before disappearing for a day and showing up like nothing happened until someone points out blood seeping through his clothes and merlin going “oh! whoops! lol” and arthur has a heart attack
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#fanfiction#fanfic#fic ideas#prompts#silly guy#merlin limping around with a smile on his face#arthur is conflicted and isnt sure if he should feel concerned or jealous#once he finally cracks merlin and gets the truth#concern wins out#this pattern continues and arthur is Frustrated#merlin has this habit so deeply ingrained in him that he really isnt sure how to stop#he starts slowly with lancelot and dragging that poor man into his schemes and plots#then lancelot is able to decide if merlin should have back up or not#but lancelot always finds arthur and tells him whats going down just so hes aware#lancelot does not want to be middle man#destiny is cruel#merthur

#biggest fic pet peeve is when the apex of the romantic arc is reached via people being shitty and manipulative#either the love interest or the meddling friends#and then it’s never addressed#and like fine whatever sometimes people make shitty choices when they’re sure they’re doing the right thing#but then that emotional arc just??? drops off into oblivion??#no apology? no acknowledgment?#no closure at all??#deeply frustrating#moreso honestly than if it was the romantic storyline they left hanging#argh#personal

USE MOUTHWASH / DO NOTHING
#mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#<— is this how character tagging works here lol#the visuals of this game are so good. the ps2 aesthetics mixed with a lot of memorable imagery#+ the way that the mechanics/structure of the game are deeply important to its narrative & themes#i.e. the use of pov switches the time jumps & the railroading—#these could have been just stylistic choices but here they are functional AND stylistic#the fact that you are railroaded into decisions…#while in other games this might feel frustrating/simplistic#here it only adds to the impending sense of dread and horror and disgust#especially when they’ve shown you an outcome and then send you back to inevitably be the cause of that outcome#the choice has already been made. it’s already been done.

Roland stopped as soon as the word left Rhys' mouth, not at all bothered by having his wrist grabbed or how tight the grip was. In fact, he was secretly delighted and that spark of hope kindled into a real flame. He looked at Rhys and shook his head slightly. "No need to apologize." Being asked to stay was exactly what he'd been hoping for and he couldn't help the smile on his face as he nodded, though he frowned a little at the vulnerability in Rhys' voice. "Of course." He wouldn't dream of leaving, not with Rhys in such a state, not if he could do anything about it.
Rhys was apparently in quite a state as well as the explanation tumbled out, Roland's gaze softening and growing more and more concerned as he spoke. What was Rhys going through, really? It was maddening that he didn't know when just a few months ago he'd known everything that was going on with the witch in rather intimate detail, or at least he thought he had. Now, it was all a mystery and he knew he had no one but himself to blame for that but it still stung. Clearly the witch was very upset about something. Rhys let go of him to rub at his face and Roland wanted to do it for him. "I'm not going anywhere, cheri. It's all right." The pet name was probably a breach but if that was then the next thing he did certainly was. Roland couldn't help it though as he stepped back into the office and pulled Rhys into his arms, cradling him against him and stroking his hair soothingly. Whatever was going on between them could wait, it seemed, as Rhys very clearly needed to be held right now and Roland was more than willing to do it. It soothed Roland too, just to have him near again, to have his arms around him. It had been so long since they'd touched, after all. He held him tightly and didn't ask for more details just let the touch soothe them both for the moment. It felt like something they needed.
“Wait–” the word left him before he even had the chance to think about it. Simultaneously, he’d reached to grasp Roland’s wrist, far tighter than he’d intended to, he realised. The threat of his departure had been too much to bear and he’d acted entirely on impulse. “Sorry– I didn’t mean to–” Rhys cut himself off with a frustrated sigh and loosened his hold but didn’t let go completely, not willing to untether himself from the last available source of familiarity. Now that he’d broached that boundary, he knew he couldn’t step back from it. He mustered up the strength to meet Roland’s gaze again after a pause though it took more effort than he’d ever be comfortable admitting. “…Could you stay?” He loathed the sound of his voice, the vulnerability in it far too raw for one who prided himself on his ability to detach himself from his emotions on command the vast majority of the time, but with barrage after barrage hitting him ever since the night of that godawful soirée, Rhys wasn’t entirely how much more he could take despite knowing things were only going to get worse.
It was a significant challenge to hold Roland’s gaze; he felt far too exposed letting himself be seen like this. Roland had been privy to snippets of the slipping of the mask before – only a handful of times, fortunately – and most instances had been recovered swiftly enough to not require dwelling on. Now, however, Rhys knew there was no way he could be trusted to be left to his own devices. “Everything’s fucked, Ro. I mean majorly fucked and I can’t fix it and I can’t stop it and– I’m scared. I–I don’t know what to do and I haven’t known what to do with myself since you walked out and now everything’s just–” He dropped his gaze sharply and lifted his hand from Roland’s wrist to rub roughly at his eyes, the depths of his premature grief souring into anger towards himself at his inability to remedy Seth’s circumstances. Rolling his shoulders back with a heavy sigh, Rhys glanced up at Roland again, utterly defeated. “I need you to stay– if you can. Please.”

having your two favorite arcane characters be viktor and mel AND shipping jayvik at the same time is like. on one hand i cannot stop collecting w's but also the whole fandom has it out for me cuz the jayvik shippers hate mel and the mel lovers hate jayvik. why cant we all just hold hands. why must we fight.
#moogsin'#its so frustrating#like these characters are so deeply interlinked#and half of you are too blinded by your stupid petty fandom discourse to actually appreciate them#'we want complex c-' no you dont. just say it. be honest. you dont!#arcane#mel medarda#jayce talis#viktor#viktor arcane#jayvik

Loop and Mirabelle hours (3am)
#wow they sure are something huh#go no further if you haven’t done 2hats#nothing direct but. yk. for safety. post canon implications etc#anyways I feel like this is where Loop goes from endearing but kind of frustrating to deeply tragic to Mira#because they are soooooo niceys to her but they are Biting Siffrin’s Head Off (metaphorically)#and he seems fine?? but. it’s hard for her to deal with.#and she generally just takes it at face value;#but then loop pulls this shit and it’s like ohhh.#I knew there was a facade but I didn’t know this was under it#they can deal with that later though.#ok done.#isat spoilers#in stars and time#isat#2hats spoilers#isat loop#isat mirabelle#fawntonguesart

I wonder how many people really love and relate to Alisaie because they too were the girl who struggled to understand how folks around her could act like suffering and selfishness and hivemind behavior was normal and their softness was called a weakness and so they built up an abrasive exterior to force people to take them seriously and now they don't know how to be vulnerable without feeling embarrassed or cringe even though they still feel things so deeply it's almost suffocating...
#it's me#i feel like i really understand why ali is always trying to prove herself#how strong and capable she is#that she isn't just emotional or impulsive#like i stated on another post alisaie's “violence” is more related to both her desire to be taken seriously#and also her preference for direct action rather than politics#she's a protector and defendor#and she is deeply frustrated by the way the world turned out#and i think she partially has felt very lonely in that for a long time#she just wants people to do right by each other#and she hates to see suffering and injustice#and she maybe hates even more that the general public kind of just falls in line#alisaie#alisaie leveilleur

Not a big fan of capitalism
#i do not want to charge people to see my art#i have a job on top of doing this little art blog#every time i show this little project of mine people tell me i better find a way to monetize it to make money off of this#its just very frustrating to constantly have to explain that i want people to just see and cherish my drawings#i dont want to be reliant on making art to make my money i think that'd not work with what im going for#and it would turn art into a deeply frustrating experience i try to constantly optimize to get the most amount of money from#rendering experiments and trying out new artstyles something that could legit put me out of eating food 👍#but really#the job is not good for me i am always do exhausted#it really takes so much effort to draw sometimes

Voyager's obsession with every female character being a mother either literally or metaphorically is so dire like even SESKA got pregnant. Someone put a planned parenthood in the Delta Quadrant PLEASE. Someone start handing out condoms, this is an EMERGENCY.
#Kes barely got out of there alive#Janeway also got out in CANON but in FANDOM she's liiiike everyone's mom <3 like the ship's mommy <3 Hey. C'MON NOW.#I (in general - not in every case) hate when people say 'well X is like a mom/dad to Y' bc more often than not it's just left at that#as if being a parent is just like an uncomplicated and homogenous thing that lets you not have to think about that relationship#in any more depth#ESPECIALLY with mothers and motherhood which I assume is from the notion that motherhood is 'natural' for women.#Like a fish to water!!! Yaaay yippee!!!!#I find it hard to describe my frustration with this both in fandom and in mainstream media but it deeply deeply frustrates me
