#easy remedy

[okkennymay]

One of the commissions I received last year introduced me to the utterly amazing game, Control, which I cannot recommend enough! In that game I fell in love with Dr.Darling, who you get to know through various recorded videos and text, and ugH I CAN'T GET HIM OUT OF MY MIND (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I'm just utterly obsessed! Ooooh god if we don't get more of him in Control 2 I'm going to rIOT- Speaking of said commission, I've just finished one part of it! A whole sketch page of Dr.Darling and Jesse~ which i'm about to post! (Another wonderful client who waited an age and a half 9w9") The 2nd part is a NSFW sketch page, which will eventually be posted onto my patreon~

Then there will be more because oh my god I haven't been able to stop thinking about this amazing game, it's world and the remedy-verse as a whole!

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

really tragic there was a whole complex fan project to make a xena themed cookbook that while totally insane is completely lacking in two vital xena cookbook concepts which is one a hippie friendly sprouted seeds and nut bread edible for those so insane and health minded they would never let a brownie touch their lips and also as tribute to gabrielle eating the drugged nut bread that makes u gayer in altared states and then a drink that can be served with or without alcohol thats like a mix of every single juice you have in your cupboard called xenas juices subheading can we cook with your juices ok bows and scurries away

obviously sucks that jerma's having health issues and we wish him the best but also him coming back after not streaming for nearly two months and going on genuinely unhinged rants is so fucking funny. why did he do the singing bit for so long. why did he talk about mario becoming a greek god for so long. every time he laughed he sounded like he was genuinely in pain

I didn’t notice this before in the Control AWE dlc but I love that there’s a stack of cans (Ahma beer!) in the Bright Falls room like the random ones in the first game

make it make sense that I enjoy doing my job (especially the tedious parts) when I am off the clock, but as soon as I am supposed to be working I'd rather be doing LITERALLY anything else????

what ethnicity do you think the mikaelsons should be, if nordic isn't correct? just curious!

hi!! please sit with me for this, because we're gonna talk about the absolute mess that is the tvdu lore since jp insisted that mystic falls should be the centre of the world, completely missing why everything was happening to fells church in the books. putting under the cut because i couldn't stop rambling i fear.

so, the mikaelsons being nordic is absolutely fine. in fact i think they did something really cool by making them vikings and they missed potential from that by never going any deeper with it. astryr isn't half black because i think the mikaelsons should be poc, that is another issue that actually came about from a couple of months of discussion with a friend.

the problem is, unfortunately, klaus. i'll be honest and say i think it's really dumb that jp had the mikaelsons arrive in america a bit too early when it's well known that vikings had a presence in england and there are even confirmed settlements in canada. it would have been so easy for them to put their human home in england as farmers, which is why i do that in my canon so that there's no whitewashing going on with klaus. it would have also made sense with the accents in my opinion. or, even, to say that most of them were born before they travelled to america.

but. canon does insist that the mikaelsons after elijah were born in mystic falls. which causes the problem. it was already iffy that klaus' father would be a white man since he was the alpha of a pack of local wolves, but you could have room there if you fiddled some things around and said ansels pack and the mikaelsons were all part of a nordic settlement that travelled there together.

then s4 gave us the origin of werewolves, which actually brings in a different problem i have with the casting in tvdu (the french quarter being overwhelmingly white, making the lebonairs one of the first werewolves that all descend from a native tribe yet all the nola wolves are white, the fact when they did cast poc it was usually as a villain.) but yeah. s4 confirmed all werewolf packs came from one native tribe. and logistically that is a problem, cause at that time period? it makes absolute no sense at all that the werewolves in mystic falls would be white. it'd still be...odd even if the mikaelsons did go to england instead but we're already fucking with history so who's to say that some of those original werewolves didnt run so far that they crossed the ocean too.

instead....yeah, i'm sorry but if ansel was from mystic falls. if he's a werewolf alpha. he should NOT be white. he should be native. like, objectively, klaus should have been half native. which, ofc, i'm never gonna hold that against klaus writers because joseph is amazing in the role, and the majority of the tvd rpc knows this and has taken steps around it.

anyway, that got long. tldr; the mikaelsons being nordic is perfect from a writing standpoint if you want to ground them from the books, but by their own lore klaus should be half native and i will fight jp in the parking lot of hell.

One of the biggest indicators of how close Kaeya and Diluc were growing up is not only their matching jealousy streaks, but also in the way they will get territorial on each other’s behalves.

listening to a podcast about the histor of qatar while doing something and realising i knew absolutely nothing about the country beyond the human rights abuses etc. 🫣 like did i know the portugese were there and were ousted by the dutch and british? You'd think so as i live in the netherlands and history education might sometimes be lacking but the VOC usually gets its time in the spotlight. Or about the Ottoman empire time, or about its relations wth the Saudis. But no. No idea. Also had no idea it was rich from pearlfishing before the oil. I may be stupid.👍
